Finally got these chappies uploaded, though they took forever...

I don't own Zelda, or my favorite villain ever (UWEEHEEHEE) would be in teh gamez.

Chapter 5: What Now?

Sephiroth sat in the ruins of Shinra Tower. Link, Zelda, and Midna sat there as well.

"What now? The deities are gone, leaving only Shinryu and Kefka behind. Obviously we fight for Shinryu, but what do we do?" asked Midna.

"I don't know. I have no idea what direction this period of time could take us to. I do remember Shinryu saying that Kefka would succeed for a time, but then he would fail." said Sephiroth.

"For all I know, he could succeed." said Midna.

Link was pondering all this.

"We have to think of a way to fight Kefka. Somehow, some way."

"I do remember Shinryu, at least I think it was him, saying something about a Magitech infusion corrupting him or some such. All I know is that Magitech was the forerunner of our materia processing. It was used by an ancient power called the Gestahlian Empire, which was around long before the Company." said Sephiroth.

"Does the Company have any records on this Empire?" asked Midna.

"It did, before Shinra Tower was crushed by the Gaia meteor."

Link looked thoughtful.

"What about the mansion at Nibelheim?"

"How do you know of that place?"

"Shinra spoke with me about it after we freed you from Jenova."

"I see."

"Well, what about it?"

"Hmm... You know, it might have records of it. The manor is known for being storage for documents no one wants to be found. To get in, you'll need a certain key, which Rufus would have on his person at all times."

"What happened to him when the meteor hit? You said he fell from the tower."

"The meteor hit Junon, causing a shockwave to roll over the land. The tower was quakeproofed, but the wave shook it, throwing them to their deaths. Then, as I flew down, a second meteor crushed the tower, flinging me out in the direction of Fondor."

"Then we need to go to Midgar and dig around the ruins to find Shinra and get that key."

"Then we can find out more about Kefka and how he became corrupted."

As always, R&R.
