Chapter 11

Jenova was battling against the Great Phoenix.

"Hah! You will never kill me! It will take forever to do so! Take this!" Jenova said as she threw some leaves at an amazing speed and can be deadly. The Great Phoenix and Phoenix dodged it easily but some did hit them both.

"Damn it, Jenova! Give up already!" Phoenix shouted as she fell to the ground but the Great Phoenix remains floating on the sky. "There's no way we are going to beat Jenova like this… I guess I have no choice then….. I will have to do that." thought Phoenix as she looked up to the Great Phoenix. She then gave a nod to the great bird and it replies with a nod too.

"We'll end this, now and forever." Suddenly, the Great Phoenix was glowing and so is Phoenix.

The Avalanche fighters were shocked as they saw dozens of big W.R.O ships send in some of the troops down to the ground.

"REEVE!" shouted Yuffie as soon as they saw Reeve's ship landed.

"Hahaha, you came at the right time, my friend." said Barret to Reeve.

"Well, tried to come earlier than that," Reeve said. "How about you all rest and let my soldiers take it from here?"

"No, hold on, where's Phoenix?" Sephiroth said as he looked around for her. Everybody started to worry.

"Yeah, where is she?" Reeve asked.

"Hey, how did you know her?" Genesis said.

"Let's talk about that later, we need to find her, hop on my ship!" Reeve offered them. The ship flew up to the sky.

"Which direction do we go fir—"Yuffie was interrupted by a big blow from the forest.

"Looks like that one!" Angeal said as he ordered the pilot to go to the direction. As they land the ship down to the ground, the Avalanche fighters ran out and were roaming through the forest. They then looked up and they saw the Great Phoenix and Jenova was wrapped with feathers.

"ARGHH! How can this happen? I was never to lose before! NO!" Jenova shouted as the feathers and energy light wrapped around her.

"Jenova, you are to die with me, now." the Great Phoenix said as she and Jenova perished in a great light. The Avalanche fighters were covering their heads as a great wave of winds was blown towards their direction. They then looked up at the sky and saw sprinkles of crystals falling down and fade.

"Phoenix!" Sephiroth shouted as he run into the deep forest. He was running very fast that the twigs and the branches hurt him. But he didn't notice it since he was searching for Phoenix. Several seconds after that, he saw a lifeless body laying on the ground in the middle of a big ruined field.

"Phoenix!" Sephiroth shouted as he ran towards her and kneeled next to her. "Phoenix! Wake up! Please! I beg of you! Please wake up…"

There was no answer from her. The sky was dark, cloudy and was signing that rain is coming. The other Avalanche fighters arrived as soon as Sephiroth put Phoenix on his lap.

"Phoenix…" Onyx said as soon as she saw Phoenix. "Why did you do that? You are still young to do that…" Onyx said falling to the ground right next to Phoenix and started whimpering. The rain was pouring down, but, the rain did not worry them right now.

"I wish we have become a better friend to her. She did not deserve to die now." Genesis said to them. Everyone nodded. Suddenly, a very bright light was shining towards them as soon as the rain stopped. They all cover their eyes with their hands. Suddenly, a big horse size bird appeared from the light.

"I'm the Great Phoenix of Nature. I came here to give my gratitude to all of you, and for Phoenix, because, without her, my soul would have had gone up to the lifestream and leave Jenova to destroy the planet." the Great Phoenix said to them. "And in return, I will give you all some power that was invested in me."

"What about Phoenix? Can you bring her back to life?" Sephiroth asked, hoping a good answer from the Great Phoenix.

"Actually, she was never dead, I took her soul to the lifestream for awhile, to let her meet with her long lost parents and siblings." the Great Phoenix said looking up. Then, it said:

"She will be here when I go back up to the lifestream."

"Wait, what will happen to this world if you were gone?" Onyx asked looking at the Great Phoenix.

"Well, I won't worry about that anymore," said the Great Phoenix, looking at all of them. "The world has a bunch of new guardians." They all were shocked.

"New guardians? Who are they?" Yuffie asked the Great Phoenix.

While they were talking, Phoenix was on the lifestream wandering around with no clue where she is.

"Where am I?" Phoenix thought to herself.

"Phoenix…." suddenly she heard four familiar voices calling her.

"Mother, Father, Brother, Sister?" she said while trying to clear off her eyes.

"Yes, yes, it is us, my dear." Phoenix's mother answered.

"I've been longing to see you all!" Phoenix said as she went to hug them all.

"Well, for a short while my dear, your time has not come yet. The world still needs you." said her father.

"But—"Phoenix was interrupted by both of her siblings.

"We all have been so proud of your doings, and we still want you to protect the world and the lifestream"

"Please Phoenix, no matter where we are, we are always here," Phoenix's mother puts her hand on Phoenix's chest, "right here in your heart."

"Mother…." Phoenix said as tears slid down her face. "I promise," she said "I will protect the world for you all."

"Phoenix my dear," said the Great Phoenix that came out of nowhere. "Your friends are waiting you down there." Phoenix nodded.

"Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, I will always love you." Phoenix said as she starts to fade.

"We know Phoenix, Good Bye, my love..." they all said as Phoenix fades and disappears.

Back at the Avalanche fighters.

"Well, isn't that obvious?" the Great Phoenix said while she was fading away. "Send my gratitude to Phoenix… And I wish you all good luck; the whole world is counting on you." and with that, the Great Phoenix fades into sparkling of the lifestream. They all looked at Phoenix, hopefully that she will move.
