Chapter 4- Battle of archenemies

One-Winged Angel plays

Cloud rushed Sephiroth, then leaping up with sword raised, brought it down as Sephiroth blocked his swing.

The shockwave released from the clash made the whole world shake with its great power.

They jumped back, with Cloud charging to strike again. Sephiroth blocked his swing, then blocked the next 2 as well. Cloud jumped to strike but Sephiroth hit his sword and he jumped back, flipping before landing on the ground.

Cloud then leapt and flipped to strike Sephiroth again, only for the One-Winged Angel to block and push him off. Cloud landed, sticking his sword into the ground before flipping to avoid a swing of Sephiroth, then picking it up, struck at Sephiroth who dodged.

Cloud once more tried to strike Sephiroth with a leap but was blocked and sent back. The blonde swordsman didn't give up, charging Sephiroth from behind, appearing to be blurring due to his speed even to Barry, Clark and Kara.

He was about to strike Sephiroth who blocked even without looking. He then tried to slice who avoided, then he avoided another swing from Cloud while Cloud's sword destroyed the ground.

Cloud thrust his sword forwards, Sephiroth raising his own to deflect its angle away from his face. He continued blocking Cloud's swings, then as Cloud charged again, their swords clashed, both of them in a temporary deadlock.

Sephiroth then drew his sword against Cloud's, the force sending Cloud flying back. As Cloud landed, Sephiroth charged and struck but Cloud managed to dodge.

Both faced each other now, Barry telling the rest. "They're so fast, even I can't keep up."

"No can do", Kara sighed.

Cloud and Sephiroth charged each other, clashing again. Then backing off, they charged as Cloud tried to strike but Sephiroth got on his other side. They flipped and clashed, then flew into the air, clashing their swords again at speeds faster than light.

Flying back, both charged once more, the clashing continuing and getting even faster. The clashes were sending out shockwaves as well. Cloud did a flip and tried to strike Sephiroth but he teleported above.

Cloud flew up at him, both clashing really hard as a huge portion of the cave shattered with Barry, Clark and Kara getting the rest out of harm's way.

They faced each other once more, Sephiroth taunting. "Cloud, you'll never let go of me."

"Shut up."

"You'll never let go of your past."

"Shut up!"

They flew into the air, clashing swords multiple times again, sending shockwaves everywhere. Cloud leapt onto a wall, then flipped high, flying up, and Sephiroth flew after him.

Cloud to strike, Sephiroth blocking as they clashed once more and sent out shockwaves. Sephiroth flew down, then flew up, striking Cloud's sword thrice hard enough to send him up, then hit his sword from above as Cloud went down, landing on the ground.

Cloud managed to avoid Sephiroth's next strike and running up the wall, flew at Sephiroth again, and they clashed their blades before landing on opposite sides of each other.

Sephiroth flew at Cloud first, then Cloud flew at him, the two once more clashing and now in a deadlock against each other.

"Absurd", Sephiroth taunted. "Defeating me is meaningless, you know that, Cloud. No matter how many times you defeat me, I always return, and you are very well aware of that."

"This time will be different", Cloud said with gritted teeth, both backing off and facing each other once more.

Sephiroth charged and swung as Cloud leapt and landed, avoiding the swing. Both then flew high into the air, their clash causing a blinding flash of light for a second.

Cloud tried to do a cross-slash that Sephiroth blocked, then Sephiroth charged down with a Hell's Gate. Cloud dodged but the shockwave got him, managing to send him back.

Cloud at that point did a finishing touch, spinning fast like a tornado, and this managed to hit Sephiroth as Cloud's sword struck him at various points, drawing blood from him.

Sephiroth glared, Cloud slamming his sword on the ground as a powerful blast of light at Sephiroth, only for him to leap and dodge it.

Sephiroth tried to do a Hell's Gate once more but Cloud blocked in time, the shockwave again shattering a huge portion of the cave, causing the speedster and Kryptonians to work overtime.

The One-Winged Angel then did an Octaslash, managing to slice Cloud with it before sending him up into the air, then ramming into him as Cloud fell down, the impact shaking the ground, with Cloud having been hit a total of 8 times.

Cloud then stood up, doing a braver as he flew at Sephiroth at high speed, ramming into him and sending him back too.

They clashed their swords again, then Sephiroth summoned orbs of darkness that coalesced around Cloud and exploded, damaging him.

Sephiroth was about to do a Hell's Gate again but Cloud countered with Cross-Slash in time, now their attacks destroying the remainder of the cave and even sending the clouds in the sky parting.

Fortunately, the speedster and Kryptonians managed to get everyone out in time, though all were absorbed into this duel, awed by the power, skill and ferocity of both the powerful swordsmen, one good and one evil.

Cloud did a Braver, ramming into Sephiroth, and immediately followed with a Cross Slash, slicing him a few times as Sephiroth was sent back again.

Sephiroth did a Heartless Angel, making Cloud fall to his knees in pain, with Sephiroth taking the opportunity to charge him, but Vincent turned into Chaos Vincent again and fired, making Sephiroth stop and block as the attack staggered him back while Genesis clashed with him before Sephiroth blasted him away.

Cloud used the opportunity to heal himself with a potion, as the weakened Chaos Vincent turned back into Vincent.

A rejuvenated Cloud then clashed with Sephiroth 5 times, sending shockwaves all over. He then hovered high in the air and pointing his sword at Sephiroth, did a Meteorain.

Moderate sized meteors came down at Sephiroth at high speed, and he dodged, while slicing one, but one of them managed to hit Sephiroth and send him falling to the ground as he gritted his teeth.

Cloud tried to do a Braver but this time Sephiroth dodged, then did an Octaslash, wounding Cloud once more.

Sephiroth then sent out a shockwave from his hand that hit Cloud, sending him flying back. As Sephiroth tried to do an Octaslash, Cloud summoned a Wall of Protection in time, making Sephiroth fly back.

Cloud used the opportunity and slammed his sword down, hitting Sephiroth with the flash of light sliding at him, and Sephiroth was sent back from it.

Sephiroth recovered and struck Cloud twice, before Cloud hit him with a green beam from his sword that sent him back. Sephiroth recovered, striking Cloud with a ball of Hellfire that sent him down, wounding him.

Cloud raised his sword in time to block Sephiroth's, then drew against it as he rolled away and stood up, both of them clashing again.

The two spun like tornadoes as well, the clashing of their swords breaking apart some of the sky too at this point, as well as a lot of the ground.

Sephiroth fired his ball of Hellfire while Cloud fired the green beam from his sword, both clashing and causing a giant explosion.

Cloud fell to his knees, and as he staggered up, Sephiroth flew at him, striking at his sword swiftly thrice, making Cloud stagger and fly back by a few feet, then recover in time to try to strike at Sephiroth, who managed to dodge all of him.

Cloud formed a barrier to block Sephiroth's next few swings, then Sephiroth summoned orbs of darkness but Cloud reacted in time, using his sword to destroy them all before Sephiroth hit him with a Hell's Gate, sending him falling down again.

The blonde swordsman stood back up, hurling his powered up sword at Sephiroth. Sephiroth managed to deflect it, then charged at Cloud but the sword returned to him in time as he blocked it, both gritting their teeth, trying to overpower the other and make them give in.

"Give up, Cloud", Sephiroth taunted him.

"Never", Cloud refused, and they started clashing once more, as Sephiroth then raised both hands and to Cloud's horror, did a Supernova.

The Dimension around all of them warped, with them now on a different Earth of a different Dimension.


A powerful beam of light entered the Milky Way galaxy, shattering Pluto upon impact, followed by Saturn, and then it passed into Jupiter, making a giant whole as the largest planet too exploded into nothingness.

The beam of light passed the other planets, entering the Sun which turned into a giant ball of energy and started expanding, first consuming Mercury, and then Venus.


"What the….?" Oliver voiced for all of them.

"Is he just….?" Barry trailed off. "…..Destroying the Solar System?"

"Damn!" Sara muttered, again speaking for all of them.

As the ball expanded towards Earth, Clark, Kara, Genesis and Vincent covered the rest, being the only ones who could withstand it, with Lyla then forming a barrier to protect them all.

Cloud and Sephiroth glared at each other, managing to take power of the expanding mass of energy that was the sun due to their durability, as next moment the Dimension warped and they were back on the Planet, but the aftereffects of the Supernova had done its job, sadly. Everyone had been killed, even Clark and Kara! Because while they could absorb the Sun's power, this was a corrupted Sun so it didn't have the same effect.

All of them were dead!

The Earth in that Dimension had been destroyed as well with the rest of the Solar System.

"No!" Cloud gasped in utter horror as he fell to his knees, feeling like a failure, Sephiroth smirking at him from behind, satisfied.

"You fail, Cloud, every time, you fail to protect those you love", Sephiroth taunted his foe.

"You have the power, Cloud, don't give up", Aerith's voice suddenly urged him.

"Cloud…..finish him off!" Zack's voice urged just as Sephiroth tried to strike but Cloud turned around, blocking in time, the clash breaking Dimensions and sending them into a different one.

"Oh! You still want to fight back, huh?" The One-Winged Angel asked with a taunt.

"You don't know anything, Sephiroth", Cloud responded as he then did another Meteorain, this time a faster one as Sephiroth dodged or blocked the first two but the next all hit him and sent him down, damaging the ground too.

Sephiroth stood up, doing an Octaslash that damaged Cloud, and then he did a Hell's Gate, sending Cloud down once more.

Cloud got up and with a roar, charged, both clashing their blades against each other. Cloud spun his sword and thrust it forwards at Sephiroth, who barely deflected but the force managed to disarm him.

Reacting quick, Sephiroth caught his sword and hit Cloud with the hilt, sending him back, then drew the Masamune against the Fusion Sword, the force making Cloud fall down once more.

The One-Winged Angel rushed down at the blonde swordsman, about to strike him, when Cloud glowed with the Lifestream's energy, now blocking the blow.

He stood up and pushed Sephiroth back. "You don't get it, do you? You never will. Those who fight for themselves will never understand those who fight for others."

"Amusing sentiments", Sephiroth smirked, then asked. "Where did you find this strength?"

"The Lifestream", Cloud told him.

"So did I, from the Black, which is Death, and that's why I too AM Death, Cloud", Sephiroth revealed to him.

"I got mine from the Green and the Red, forces of life, so I AM Life", Cloud snarled, both of them having another high speed clash, the last one, as Cloud then did his Omnislash Version 5, charging at Sephiroth from all sides at high speed and striking him everywhere, Sephiroth not being fast enough to block this time, due to Cloud's added power.

Cloud then rammed into Sephiroth from above, then raising his sword, hit Sephiroth hard as the blast struck him and sent him away, damaging him badly too.

Sephiroth staggered, clearly weakened from his as the energy of the Lifestream expanded from Cloud. "I want to…fix all that you've destroyed."

"This is...not the end!" Sephiroth tried to resist.

"No, Sephiroth, its YOUR end!" Cloud responded to his arch-nemesis.

The Lifestream expanded outwards, consuming Sephiroth who was this time gone permanently with a scream of pain and anguish. The power of the Lifestream continued expanding from Cloud who flapped his wing, glowing and suddenly exploding, then, like the anti-matter wave, Cloud spread the life energy of the Multiverse throughout all Universes to heal the harm caused by Anti-Monitor and then the vastly more powerful Sephiroth.

Cloud took flight in that moment, flying from this Universe to Universe-1, where the power expanding from him healed planets while bringing people back to life. His presence itself brought hope and joy, people pointing at him.


"Is that an Angel, dad?" Zoe asked Rene as both looked up to see Cloud fly, a golden light around him and his one white wing clearly visible.

"I think he is, Zo", Rene responded to his daughter with a smile.


"Whoa!" Joe said on seeing Cloud's flying form. "Wow!"


Cloud reached Universe-2, flying over it as it too was restored to its original state.


Harry saw his flying form and smiled. "Guess miracles do happen." He and Jesse exchanged a happy look.


Cloud came to Universe-3, flying through and once more healing planets and all life.


Jay Garrick sped up on to the top of a building to get a better view of the flying Cloud. "Thank you."


Cloud flew over Earth-9, that world being restored as well to its original state.


"What's that?" Jason Todd asked no one in particular.

"I think that was our salvation", Dick Grayson told him.

"His power is great...and pure", Rachel Roth said in awe and joy.


Cloud flew over Earth-19, his power healing that whole Universe too.


Swamp Thing saw him and for once in his life, felt a lot of hope.


Cloud flew through Universe-38, restoring all life.


Alura on Argo City saw Cloud flying and smiled. "This is...so pure."


Cloud was now flying across Earth-96, restoring life, and then the Superman of that Earth flew alongside him, both sharing a look and smile as they nodded at each other, happy to bring hope and peace.

And then Cloud flew off, leaving this Universe behind too.


Cloud himself saw the restoration, and positivity, the feeling of life all around, from the elemental forces uniting him with the Green, Red, and Clear, to the people themselves, it caused him to close his eyes in utter bliss as he feels it all, then he opened his eyes again, and saw Aerith, Zack, his mother, Angeal, and every past loved one also flying with him, glowing gold like him, in a beautiful picture as they flew across the infinite Multiverse.

So strong was his connection to life that he shed a tear, never having felt anything like this before, and it was all so beautiful.


Finally, Cloud was back to Earth-7, where his power brought everyone back to life as well, with him and the sky glowing in a holy light, as if the Heavens had opened. As Cloud's feet touched the ground, the light faded, as did the Angel wing in a flurry of feathers.

"Well done, Cloud", Aerith's voice said.

"You did it, buddy", Zack's voice praised too, as Cloud smiled in pride.

The rest all staggered up, having missed the end due to being dead, but now were back to life.

"What happened? Where is he?" Oliver inquired.

"He's gone", Cloud assured with a smile.

"And your power, yo?" Reno then asked.

"Gave it up to bring the Multiverse back", Cloud told them, putting the sword on his back as Tifa ran to him, both hugging and kissing, then smiling at each other.

"Commendable attitude", Rufus muttered, clearly impressed.

"You had so much power, you were the most powerful being in creation now", Kara noted, surprised for sure. "Why would you give it up?"

Cloud simply shook his head with a calm expression.

"Sephiroth wanted power. I don't."

With that, Sephiroth was gone forever, and the Multiverse was saved from its greatest threat, now healed back to prime condition.

The Crisis had come….and had been beaten!


And this is the end. Abrupt I know, but it was really just about the epic clash of Cloud and Sephiroth, who is now beaten forever at last.

Hope the battle was enjoyed at least and I did it justice.

While how Supernova works in canon is very debatable, here Sephiroth with his increased power could actually do it. Though of course he did it in a different Dimension, like usual.

Now the Multiverse is restored and healed too.

So this is it, and I thank everyone for sticking with this short story and reading it till the end, much appreciated for sure, like always.

And I thank Brainstorm Sorcerer for his help again here, thanks a lot pal, couldn't have made an ending this nice without him.

Thank you to all for reading, favoriting, following, reviewing and kudos'ing, this is it for now.

Thoughts and prayers go to those in Ukraine.

Stay safe.

Until next time.

Aragorn II Elessar.
