Back In Black
Oh no! Sephiroth has escaped without learning lessons about love and friendship and everything else Sesame Street used to bang on about whenever Cookie Monster wasn't around.

"So how much trouble are we in? I mean shouldn't that Mary-Sue thing and Sephiroth cancel each other out?" Zack asked Aerith
"I wish, that thing feeds on former SOLDIER members, Turks and even Cloud is at risk. It'll infect a member of the opposite sex to its prey, sometimes the same sex if it's that way inclined. Its like a succubus, it even tried to infect me at one point."
"Don't remind me. I've never seen you so out of it, afterwards it was like you had PMS for a whole month." The only way to stop it was to place Aerith in a circle with the remnants, the parasite couldn't decide which one it wanted more allowing Aerith a chance to fight against it. The sharp removal caused her to be a lot more bitchy than normal, it was during the end of that time when Sephiroth finally showed up. Time being malleable down here.
"But ever since you and the remnants helped capture it for me it became bitter, twisted. Although it used to lure victims by creating an illusion of perfection which is seen by anyone but the prey as annoying, now once it infects someone they take victims by force."
"Wait, if Sephiroth's its prey as long as he stays out of contact with anyone who could potentially do some damage which at the moment is just Cloud. He's safe right?"
"…"
"He's after revenge on Cloud isn't he."
"Yeah..."
"Shit."
"And the whole 'I confiscated his powers' thing."
"Damn, we sure screwed him over didn't we?"
"I'll go find him."

"And in other news, a bizarre theft in Mideel took place where a clothing boutique was broken into, but the only report stolen item was a large black leather coat, police also found a strange green ooze at the scene. This ooze does resemble the liquid in the Life stream pool nearby. The Mayor reported that this could just be some opportune thieves and the Life stream is not coming to life. 'If this is a creature from the Life stream we are dealing with, it would probably have better tastes in fashion.' More on this story as it develops."
Sephiroth Scowled at the news report, who was he to criticise his taste in clothing. People expected the dark flowing coat, the long sword and the one wing. It just wouldn't be him otherwise. Still another name on the 'to kill list' right under Reno of the Turks for he prank he pulled on him back when he was the head of SOLDIER.
It took 2 days to get that stuff out of his hair, Reno's going down.
Still, how to get to Cloud was a bit of a creative challenge. He didn't want to face the entire group of Avalanche, 8 on 1 was hardly fair and wouldn't solve anything. Sure it might solve things in their eyes in that it's removing a problem but it never answered the question about who's stronger, Cloud or Sephiroth.
Still, there was always the old black feather trail leading into a secluded woods trick but that would mean mutilating his wing, and that freaking hurt. He needed new bait, something that Cloud would go to rescue alone if it would ensure its safety. Like a girlfriend.
Oh wait, I killed her. HAHAHAHA! Ah well better go capture the rebound.

It was a cold lonely night for Tifa. Cloud had to be called to the other side of the world on some errand, she hated that. Some nights all she wanted was to snuggle down next to the Chocobo headed lover, maybe he could 'Wark' for her. It was so cute when he did that.
However she was not as alone as she thought. A silver haired man full of menace was observing her from a distance. "Perhaps she could be useful to me" He said out loud, spreading his one wing he swooped towards her bedroom where the martial artist was sleeping.
"Mmm?" Tifa started to wake up when she saw Sephiroth standing above her "You!"
"So helpless, I wonder why he leaves you like this" he grasped her arm, pulling her up viciously "when you could so easily be abused." He gave out a sinister laugh as she tried to shake his grip, a small red bug crawling along it and onto Tifa "come now, you must surely realise that resisting me will only result in pain."
"I know, yours!" Tifa moved her stance shifting her body weight towards her legs, Sephiroth pulled her up so they were face to face again but she had other ideas. Using the momentum of the former generals strength to connect her knee with his groin which despite being dunked in mako and having all those Jenova cells, still hurt the one winged angel a lot.

"Found him Aerith?" Zack asked, trying to keep the remnants from pestering him with questions like "where is big brother?"
"Nope. I'll keep looking though." Aerith called back hiding the bag of popcorn "this'll be entertaining." She chuckled watching the scene unfold from Sephiroth's point of view.

I'm so lazy when it comes to these tie-ins to other fics. Now it ties in exactly to my two other fics and the circle is now complete.
But since it's a drable series it doesn't have to be in chronological order, yay! Its not the end by a long shot.
