I do not own Final Fantasy VII, I just enjoy writing about the characters. Thanks to Unara Akoni for beta'ing this!
This was it. The time had come to prove who was the true hero. Two men stared each other down, poised to attack. A third man watched apprehensively from the side, knowing exactly what was at stake. There had been many, many contests like this, but none had been so deadly serious.
Genesis Rhapsodos and Sephiroth had been rivals since the day the redhead had become a First Class SOLDIER. Not a week had been gone by without a challenge between the two. Angeal Hewley was the normal referee of these matches, ensuring Shin-Ra was never in danger of losing one of its precious weapons.
The reason for this battle of battles had been a truly cruel accusation. It had been so insulting that a duel had been called on the spot. It led to their positions now, eyeing one another to determine the best method to win.
The fight itself began in a blur of movement that could only be followed by mako-enhanced eyes. As soon as it started, it was over. The Crimson Warrior fell to his knees in defeat.
"Pride is lost, wings stripped away. The end is nigh," he said, defeated.
Sephiroth smirked triumphantly at his rival. This was the ultimate victory. He had restored his own pride, and no one would dare say he was not the hero. He strode away confidently, his hair swinging.
Later in the day, Zack spotted Genesis looking rather depressed. Deciding he didn't want to risk injury, he asked his mentor what was wrong.
Angeal simply sighed and said, "Genesis told Sephiroth that he had split ends. Seph flipped out and they ended up in a duel."
"Genesis lost?"
"Yes, he always was bad at rock, paper, scissors."
I pictured that Seph would not lose even at a children's game. Please review and if you have any ideas for more drabbles, I am always open so send them to me. ~Amaya
