Chefselecta here, Hope you liked the last chapter, here's the second part of 'The Untold Tale'….. Enjoy

Disclaimer: Me no own this game, if me did, me could afford English language classes.

Chapter two: Why

Yes……..

'YOU WHAT? THATS BULLSHIT AND YOU KNOW IT. SIDES HOW ARE WE GONA PILOT THE DAMN THING WITH NO BLOODY CREW?!! YOU CAN'T EXPEPT THEM TO SACRIFICE THEIR LIFES TOO.' Cid was in disbelief. Clearly they were all shocked by his suggestion. But deep down they knew, what other options do they have. Sephiroth was right, death can not be stop by mere mortals. Only gods.

'Damn it Cid, We all know that this is the only way. We all know its gona come to this. I'm not forcing anyone to join me. If Aeris was here, maybe this could be avoided. But she's dead. Because of me……

'SMACK'

The hero, startled by his childhood friend's reaction, looked deep into her eyes. Tears of sadness fell to the ground. Her expression, a mix of sadness and anger.

'Tifa?'

'Why, why do you do this to yourself……. To me? Aeris's death wasn't your fault. WAKE UP CLOUD. WHATS DONE IS DONE. Let her rest in peace. She, of all people, deserves it. We will find a way. There has to be another way………….

(Hand phone ringing tone)

'Cloud speaking……Who's this...Rufus Shinra?

'I congratulate you for killing Sephiroth. You've done this world a great favour. Are they any casualt……….

'Skip it Rufus, stop the small talk and get to the point'. We both know that's not the reason you called.

'Very well Strife. According to our readings, the meteor is still on course to Midgar. The resulting impact will wipe the entire continent from the map. Causalities will be in the millions. Not only that, we have also learned that the meteor carries a dangerous virus. We call it Geo stigma. If released into our atmosphere, along with the destruction of the meteor, all life on this planet will cease within 3 months. Do you understand what this means.

'We know that. NOW, unless you have a plan, I'm hanging up.'

'Alright then, since you put it that way…..….Miss Rui, I'll leave it to you.

'As a last ditch effort, Shinra has authorize the firing of the mako cannon at the meteor. The blast should be able to damage the Meteor significantly. We estimate casualties will be reduced to 20 percent if this is successful. We will be monitoring the shell from here. Look outside Mr Strife. Firing will commence in 10 minutes.

The meteor approaches, bringing with it the fury of a thousand Demons. Straight to oblivion. The fate of humanity sealed. There will be no tomorrow.

A loud sound is heard. Then nothing. Deadly silence. Hopes were raised and dashed in a split second

THERE!, in the distance, a white flash. Heading to the Doom bringer. The hopes of millions powers the light.

The two clash. Death and life, Darkness and Light. One a bringer of destruction. The other, a beacon of hope. A blinding light covers the horizon. The world holds their breath for a miracle. The light fades. Failure. The meteor, although damaged, still heads towards the planet.

The hero, looked to the bleak horizon. He couldn't bear to see the looks of his comrades. His voice was low but clear.

'It's over guys. If that cannon couldn't stop it, a ship won't do much good either. I guess this is i………………

It was over in a second. The hero's eyes flashed a bright green. He closes his eyes, he never reopened them. His body, limp. His face, a deathly pale. Yet he still had a pulse. Weak, faint. Then nothing.

'CLOUD! CLOUD WAKE UP.'

'SPIKEY, DAMNIT. OPEN YOUR EYES!!.

'Cloud, don't embrace the darkness. FIGHT IT.

'Hey Cloud, Wake up. This isn't funny you chocobo head. Wake up. PLEASE WAKE UP

' Don't die lassie. Yar much too young to be bitting the bullet.

'………………. fight it Cloud

HELL IS GONA FREEZE BEFORE I LET YOU DIE BEFORE ME. OPEN THEM EYES BOY!

His friends cry felt into deaf ear'. Their beloved hero is not dead. That they know. But neither is sure if he will ever wake up. His body may be here, but his soul isn't. His soul is no longer on this earthly plane. It has transcended to an unknown place. A place between life and death. A place no man alive knows about. A place where your very soul faces its ultimate challenge.

Welcome hero. Welcome to the Plane of Nothingness.

# Phew, that took quite some time to finish. Remember to review it okay people. As a special treat, here's a little something. I do funnies too you know.

OMAKE.

'Cloud speaking….. Hello? Hello??

(In a very typical infomercial voice) Hai, I'm from Square-enix. We were wondering if you would like to co-star our new game. Its called FFx-2. You would be co-staring with 3 other pretty girls. No male co-stars, just you and the ladies.

(incoming call tone)

Hold on one minute.

BEEP

'Cloud here'

Cloud, this is Rufus Shin...

BEEP

'….. Hello?'

'Sorry bout that. Just out of curiosity, why me?'

'Well, a recent study was done on you

'YOU DONE WHAT?!

'Yes Mr Cloud, A study was conducted and we found out that, besides being a favourite, You never gotten a girlfriend or started a relationship in any games, movies or anime that you have stared in. Besides the Yoai mangas and fan stories that is.

'Please for the love of god, don't remind me of that. I've lost enough sleep as it is.

' And it is Square-Enix policy to treat all of our main characters equally. Giving ample background……

' Background? What happen to that Vaan fellow? Didn't know he had one?

Ah yes, Well due to legal reasons, we only give this privilege to decently dressed Main Characters. Now then, what do you say Mr Cloud.

'What's the catch?'

'Well, your co-stars would be an ex summoner, a Yuffie like person and our version of Sephiroth if he wasn't a man.

'I don't know…..

' The Yuffie like girl will only be wearing her underwear…….

'Where do I sign up?'

Chefselecta: The moral of the story, boys and girls is that, Sex sells no matter what people say. That's it for me. Till next time.
