Enumasam
Chapter 34: Jenova
Zell led Tifa, Sephiroth, and Fujin out of the torched village to the roadway.
"Well Seph looks like you know where they went better than me so you lead on," tattoo face explained. Sephiroth nodded and took lead with Fujin besinde him and Zell behind them with Tifa. Sephiroth led them toward a mediocre sized forest of dense trees, but before they reached the wooded area a blue shining light approached the four, flying through the air at a ridiculous rate of speed.
'Statue, wonder why she abandoned the other two?' Sephiroth thought as she flew in front of Fujin doing circles frantically and waving her small limbs around crazily.
"Looks like there in some sorta trouble. We better hurry the hell up!" Tifa stated to the rest of them who nodded in unison as they took off running into the thick jungle with their miniature Guardian Force following.
"Fuck! Rinoa watch out for that cleaver!" Squall shouted while he pushed her out of the way to block an oversized meat cleaver with his dual gunblades. She stumbled and quickly regained her footing as the huge mass of flesh, limbs, and maws swung angrily at the sorceress.
She turned around when she heard the sound of feet in the shrubbery, luckily it wasn't another enemy it was her cohorts.
"What in the hell is that thing?" Zell startled as he gazed upon the being made of multiple dead Balamb townspeople. It was a giant mass of reanimated corpses crying out in suffering and pain, woven together by some form of unknown magick multiple limbs protruded all over its fat frame, only one held a weapon though the rest writhed around searching for a target. It stood on two mismatched legs one muscular the other shrunken and gangly, while another limb was used to prop itself up. Where there weren't bodies there were huge mouths with many razor sharp teeth and on the very top with an enormous neck holding it up was…
'Mother?' Sephiroth thought, he almost said it aloud as he gazed at Jenova's head atop the accursed being. Tifa turned toward him with a look on her face of astonishment when the Silver Haired Savior gripped the sides of his head in pain. Nibelheim came back to him, decapitating his so called Mother, falling into the Life Stream as he let go of her skull.
"Ma!" Zell cried out his own mother's head and body were seemingly stitched into the left side of the grotesque abomination. Her charred skull moaning in agony until her good eye caught sight of her beloved son.
"Kkkiillll Meee," Zell's mother spoke from the being as Squall swung his right gunblade at the cleaver knocking it to the side and slashed at its arm that had attacked him with his left blade cutting a gash along its forearm. All of the voices howled in pain at once causing the six fighters to cover their ears, it was worse for Fujin and Sephiroth because of their enhanced senses.
"Jenova," Tifa said as she stared at Sephiroth watching him fall to his knees in pain. The abomination swung its left weaponless fist toward the now incapacitated Sephiroth knocking him off of his knees through tree after tree after tree until he landed out of sight of the remaining warriors.
Zell ran at the fleshy enemy and kicked it in the chest knocking it down as he fell with it one of the mouths bit onto his shin before he could jerk it free he could feel it scrape against his bone as he pried the jaw open breaking some of its teeth out in the process. Rinoa hurriedly cast haste on Squall so he could try and end the fight quickly, a clock appeared over his head and the hands went around in circles until they stopped at twelve before it disappeared.
Squall smirked as he ran at the beast, Zell had backflipped off of it and sat beside Tifa who was curing his wounds with a bright green light of magick, soon his leg was healed but it was too soft to hold him up for long so he drug himself underneath a tree on the sidelines.
"Tifa, please help my Ma," he said as when she leaned down to kiss him. She looked in the direction Sephiroth had been knocked to before changing her view to the giant blob. The enemy had rose from where tattoo face had knocked it down back to its full state.
"Statue, keep it distracted for a few seconds I've got something special for that thing." Tifa motioned to the Shiva miniature who nodded and flew up to the beasts head circling around it and shooting tiny icicles into its face, or should I say Jenova's face. Tifa summoned red and blue energy around her into both her right and left hands it looked almost like a rainbow minus all the rest of the colors, she started shaking and a tremor went through the ground, unfortunately it got the attention of the massive being who swung its cleaver down onto the female fist fighter. It was almost to her head when she released her attack.
"Hell's Angel!" She shouted as the cleaver connected with her left fist first knocking it away as the reddish blue energy shot from her hand then her right fist buried into the beings mid section of corpses causing as line of her energy to blast through it and cause a gaping wound in the middle of the stitched together being. Once again it howled in pain this time Squall was ready he ran up to the creature and used the hole Tifa had made as leverage to jump up to its head as he brought left gunblade down, it blocked it even in pain with one of its arms though it was severed easily. Squall's right gunblade had maximum down thrust and went diagonally through its left shoulder down to almost the area Tifa had caused the hole in it and then he pulled the trigger.
The sound was deafening as the abominations entire chest and stomach exploded into intestines, gore, and body parts. Most of Zell's Ma landed beside him against the tree where he sat, which he quickly scooted over to and laid her head in his hands. Tifa knelt down beside him, Rinoa and Squall went over to check on Fujin and Sephiroth dazedly walked back into view.
"What happened?" Sephiroth asked as he shook of the unconsciousness he had been in.
"Well I think we won…" Squall said as he patted the downed Fujin on the back until she rose to her full height. Statue did some circles around the destroyed beings head and went to Fujin's shoulder.
"Ma, ma," Zell stuttered as he shook his mother's lifeless body.
"I think the only reason she could talk was because of the whole mass being alive by magick Zell, now she's as gone as she was when you first saw her, I'm sorry," Tifa informed as she caressed his shoulder. He teared up and began to cry.
"Sephiroth, what the fuck happened?" Squall said to the warrior. Sephiroth hurriedly went to the head of the downed creature.
"This is bad," he stated as he looked around for the head of his deformed and evil mother. Apparently it had disappeared from the body.
"What the hell do ya mean?" Zell inquired as he stopped his sobbing.
"Jenova, the one who controlled me into being a monster was the head on the creature you guys just defeated, and unfortunately now it is gone," Sephiroth informed.
"I knew it, I fuckin knew it. It came here with you didn't it you son of a bitch," Tifa was pissed off at the warrior.
"I lost it in the Life Stream, for it to make it here possibly was my fault I will take responsibility," he said.
"How the fuck can you take responsibility if when you see her you freeze up, you were basically useless in that battle Sephiroth…" Tifa exclaimed.
"Hate to be a drag but can we take my Ma and bury her, I think this forest will suit her nicely," Zell softly spoke as he used earth magick to make a hole beneath the tree he was under and placed his dead Ma to rest for once and all.
