Final Fantasy 7 Advent
"Power they say comes from what you have inside of you. That is your true power..." "Can power really be given that easy?" "Or do you have to win the power to protect or destroy others?" "Is there a way to train in this power? The answer is still unknown…"
Chapter 6: the angel of darkness and the angel of Light
"Yes…my son come. To me!" jenova said letting her arms stay to her side as she stared to the sky. The sky turned very dark, as a ball of darkness energy came down. Cloud slowly got to his feet. "No..." he whispered, he knew what it was. Even without looking at it. He knew. He knew it was sephiroth.
The energy stop in front of jenova. The sword when into the energy, the energy quickly changed into a person. With long silver hair, and with green eyes of madness. He slowly smiled to jenova. "My son….sephiroth…!" she said with a great evil grin on her face.
"No…!" cloud said slowly getting to his feet. Sepiroth looked to cloud and grinned a bit. "This…will make it so much easier for me…" he whispered with a grin. Cloud glared to him.
He slowly landed on the ground pushing some of his long silver hair behind his shoulders. "Mother…thank you for all you have done so far…" he said placing a hand on her shoulder. He kept his other hand on his sword hiding it behind him.
"I was happy to do it, for my son. And I would do it again if I had too!" she said, feeling some was happy knowing everything was on plan. She knew nothing could go wrong now. Nothing at all. He slowly removed his hand from her shoulder.
She turned toward the group of humans, who keep getting in her way. Her way from stopping the stupid humans. Who stop her over 1000 years ago? She knew this time; she could do it with her son help. "These humans. Keep getting in my way, so please deal with them…as soon as you can my son…" she said pointing toward them.
He nodded a bit as slowly a grinned appeared on his face. "I will deal with them very soon mother. But first I have one other thing to do..." he said slowly moving his sword up.
Cloud watched in shock he knew what sephiorth was planning now. He was planning on killing her. Because of her blood, because she is a cetra. "Look out!" cloud yelled, as jenova turned to look. Sephiroth stabbed her.
"Sephiroth...why?" she asked looking to him. He grinned, "As kadaj said. All puppets will die..." he watched her blood roll down his sword. He licked his lips with a smile. "No. she still alive!" jenova whispered as she passed out. Sephiroth keep looking to her body questionly.
Sephiroth watched her hair color changed back to brown. "So. That what she means…" he said seeing the cetra was back. She quickly opened her eyes seeing the sword in her stomach under her other cuts from years ago.
"So your. Awake my little cetra…?" sephiroth asked looking down at her. She quickly looked up at him with hate in her eyes. "Sephiroth..!" she said moving her hands into the sword. "You're still as strong as before..." he placed his free hand by her stomach, letting out some energy that opening up the cuts from years ago.
"N...no…" she whispered feeling her blood come out and go all over the place. "It is your time...Cetra...go return to the planet…" he whispered slowly pulling the sword out of her. She couldn't move again, she found her self falling like before.
She could hear someone yelling her name but she couldn't turn to see who. "Sara! Sara!" she looked up to see cloud there with tears rolling down his cheek. She felt tear roll down her cheek as well. She didn't know why at all. All she could say to him was, "I'm sorry. Cloud, I'm so sorry…" she whispered as her eyes slowly closed.
"N...no!" cloud said shaking her body a little. "…t...this can't be happening again…!" he crying holding her body in his arms. The others slowly sat up, to find cloud crying. Tifa looked like she was in as much shock as cloud was. "Sara…" tifa whispered, seeing cloud holding into her body.
Sephiroth started toward the group, he stops crying and looked down at her body. "….Sara..." he whispered hearing sephiroth foot steps closer. He nodded, as he handed her body to tifa. "Watch over her…" he whispered, tifa nodded to him. "I need my other sword too…" red handed it to him.
"Cloud..?" tifa asked looking worried. "I'll deal with sephiroth for Sara..." he whispered as he headed to meet sephiroth. Tifa slowly placed her body on the ground. "The last cetra…" red whispered to tifa. She nodded, "is. Gone…" tifa felt still jealous of her, for getting cloud. For getting cloud to like her without even really trying.
She felt like a bad person feeling that way. She knew she shouldn't feel that way toward a friend. A very good friend, Sara had done so much for her in little time. And she knew now, that she had done much for cloud as well. Tifa placed a hand on her cheek, she felt ice cold. Just touching her cheek she knew, she was really gone.
Sephiorth stop walking, as he saw cloud coming toward him with a look of hate in his eyes. He slowly grinned, that grin he always had on his face. Especially with cloud around, he would do anything to get cloud angry.
Even those things he did were always part of his plan. But it helps a bit to see cloud reaction. It made sephiorth laugh just to see that look on cloud's face. That looks of nothing but hate toward him.
Cloud keep holding his sword at his side, as he slowly stepped closer and closer to sephiroth. He felt nothing but hate toward the person, he fought so high of at one time. Because of sephiroth, cloud had lost so many things and people. He had lost her two times now.
Cloud stop just in front of sephiroth looking at him with cold and hate in his eyes. "Cloud…" sephiroth said with a grin on his face holding his sword by his side. "Sephiroth…what is the point of this madness? Killing without a reason?" cloud asked holding his sword tight.
"Killing with a reason? My. My your wrong there is always a point to killing..." "People have to die to heal the planet…that girl was in my way. So she had to go..." he said slowly pulling up his sword in front of him.
"So. You killed her cause she was a cetra..?" cloud asked slowly pulling his sword in front of him as well. "Yes. Only her power could have stopped me this time..." he smiled as he ran toward cloud. "We will see about that…" cloud said running toward sephiroth as well.
They hit swords head on. "Is. that best you can do now cloud…even after losing her again?" sephiroth asked with a grin. Hearing that made cloud blood boil. He let a yell out as he kept coming at sephiroth with his sword.
"Cloud. Cant win..." red whispered watching the fight. "What do you mean red..?" tifa asked because he had beaten sephiroth. "He is filled with hated and angry toward him. His fighting isn't 100 cause of this…" red whispered looking to tifa.
"You mean the pain of losing Sara is too much for him to take?" she asked, he nodded to her. "Yes…he wills loss very soon…" he whispered shaking his head a bit.
But Sara spirit had returned to the planet. To the final resting place. She could hear children laughing, and all people happy without any pain here. "Will I finally be happy here without any pain or sadly..?" she wondered feeling her self slowly falling toward the sounds.
"No. all humans always feel pain no matter how powerfully they are…" a voice said. She knew that voice, that voice of like a sister to her. "Aerith…?" she asked, opening her eyes to see her there. Her cousin aerith, who had always been like a big sister to her.
"Sara…" she whispered looking sadly to her. Aerith placed her ghost like hand on her forehead. "I'm sorry for all you had to see and been there for..." she whispered to her as she removed her hand slowly. "Aerith…it isn't your fault.." she slowly sat up looking to her.
"Sara. It isn't your time…" aerith whispered to her. "But. I'm dead…" she said to aerith as she nodded to her. "Yes. But you haven't finished your job as a planet protector…" aerith looked sadly to her again. "Aerith..?" she asked questionly. "The last...cetra...can't die now…" she whispered, she placed both of her hands in front of her.
"You have to go back. To save the humans..." she felt a warm energy surround her. "Aerith?" it was very warm energy just likes holy power. "I'm sorry. Sara pleases. Save them. For me..." she whispered, as she saw aerith disappear from her.
Cloud wasn't going to let sephiorth get away with this. Not again. He had to stop sephiroth this time and make sure he didn't come back again. For her. Cloud found him self having memories of her as he was fighting sephiroth.
"Umm?" he remembered when he first met her in the training room. "Hmm?" was her answer as she said to him. "So...umm are we a group now..?" he remembers his shy self asking her. "Yes. I guess we are a group for now..." she answered him. "Umm...I'm cloud…" he whispered seeing her nod to him. "Nice to meet you, I'm Sara…Sara Ceres…" she whispered to him in return.
Some memories he still couldn't remember from years ago cause of jenova's cells. But he still had some he could as well. Cloud remembered being with her training as well, cloud train in the sword. But Sara did as well as in just hand to hand. She was very good in both. Very strong for her age.
But cloud didn't find out for a bit she wasn't even 15 when she entered. She was only 14 years old. But cloud didn't mind finding that out. She was still the same person no matter what her age was. She also helped cloud become a little less shy. He opened up a bit in other words.
'Sara', he thought as he keep thinking of her fighting sephiroth and it wasn't going well at all. Sephrioth stabbed him in the arm, cloud quickly stop looking up at him. "You. Should stop thinking of her cloud..." sephiroth said with a grin slowly removing his sword.
Cloud didn't say a word, as he felt the blood roll down his left arm. He quickly came at sephiroth again even those he was in pain. He knew it wasn't good to think of her when he was fighting. But he couldn't help it.
He remembered how in training they pear up guys with girls for a reason. The reason was so sick, he couldn't believe the reason when he found out. They wanted to make super humans with the people in training that had mako inside of them.
He remembered promising Sara he would never do that to her. He felt like her protector then and her friend. She was his real true friend. Tifa never really was a good friend. Because he never really knew her that well. But. With Sara he found him self opening up very easy. He never understood why that was.
"Wake up…cloud!" sephiroth yelled at him trying to stab him in the arm again. Cloud could always dodge it as best as he could. He felt tired so quickly. He didn't have the energy to keep going like this.
Tifa could only look worried watching with the others. They all knew only cloud could stand up to sephiroth, but would happen if cloud fell? Who would take sephiroth head on then?
That was the question on everyone mind. As they watched cloud battle sephiroth again for the planet's future. The future for all humans; no all living things. "Cloud…" tifa said looking worried she wish she could help but like the others barret and yuffie. They were all weak from jenova's attack.
It was a surprise they could just stand up and move around. They didn't have the energy to help cloud battle sephiroth. And the last cetra that could help was no longer around. What could be done?
"What wrong cloud..?" sephroith asked still coming at him with his sword over and over again. "Getting tired. Or do you just miss the cetra?" he asked with a grin. Cloud felt his blood boil again, as his angry toward sephiorth came over him again.
Cloud let out a blade beam at sephiroth but he quickly jumped over it. As he slowly started to fall down toward cloud. Cloud quickly rolled out of the way just missing getting hit by sephiroth sword.
"He can't keep this...up…" a voice said a person nodded to the voice. "Yes. But what can we do red..?" the voice answered to him. Sara could hear them? Was she a ghost? But she didn't see anything. She keep hear sword hit each other over and over as well.
'I'm not dead..?' she wondered, 'did aerith revive. Me..?' she slowly opened her blue-greenish blinking some. As she did tifa looked down in shock. "Sara?" she yelled as the other looked down as well.
