The battle between the two was fierce. The ground crumbled and the wave of the man's sword gave a powerful energy wave enough to cut in long distances. It was a battle between life and death. The troopers and Wutains can't see what was happening in the battle field. The forest buened, the earth crumbled, and the air was intense. The two moved so fast not even their eyes can't catch up. They can only saw Sephiroth's sword colliding on the Clown's claws as its flash made up a light in every attack. When Sephiroth landed on the ground he was exhausted while the Clown was on the air without breaking a sweat.
"Leave now" the clown said with politeness on his tone.
Sephiroth didn't give up; he gripped his sword tightly and jumped in the air prepared for another attack. The clown sighed and lowered his claw. He slowly opened his lips and started to sing. Everyone was confused. Was he planning to make the General sleep on his lullaby? The other troopers thought. Then they observed what was happening. The General's sword was near the clown's face but it didn't touch him. The General was in front of him and he was frozen in place. Did he used a time materia? Some thought. The clown opened his mouth again and sang; this time the general started screaming and slowly fell on the ground with a thud. The troopers stood there, motionless and shocked on what just happened. Their General, the Almighty Sephiroth, defeated by a monster. They ran and ran evacuating the area. The Wutains can't believe it, the war was finally over. ShinRa will never lay a hand on Wutai ever again. They shouted their victory.
The clown landed on the ground gently and looked at the General's form. He didn't want to use it but he had no choice. It was a special ability that he learned a very long time ago, it was putting once pain on the other people using the song. The victim will feel pain and suffering.
"I'm sorry…" that's the only two words he said to the fallen General.
He turned his back and walked away, leaving the General behind.
Pain, sadness, and suffering; that's what he was experiencing. He felt like hot dagger piercing his skin slowly and surely. He felt his eyes were going to burst out. He felt like he was stabbed on his insides thousands of time. On his eyes were people passing by and their eyes were full of disgust.
"Sephiroth!" He heard someone called his name.
"Sephiroth!" He opened his eyes and saw Genesis.
His friend helped him stood up. He looked at on what remained on the battlefield. He regained his balance, stood without the help of Genesis.
"Where is he?" he said as he picked up his sword.
Genesis patted his back and at the other way. "He's gone… again" he said.
This clown was like a ghost Sephiroth thought. He put his sword on his side and closed his eyes. "Let's go back" he walked away. He knew his own defeat. He wanted to battle with the clown again and by that time he will be stronger and more powerful. They left Wutai.
The clown looked at the damaged he has done to Wutai. He opened his lips and started a new melody. The ark gates opened and everyone in Wutai came out through the light. Light was forming all over Wutai and everyone looked at it in fascination. The light was beautiful just like the life stream danced around the skies at night. Snowflakes fell of the sky and when it hit the ground that once burned forest were now full of trees. The fires on the village were gone. Every injured Wutains were healed.
He looked at the sky. He's skin turned back to normal and his eyes were silver once again.
"YOU DID IT!" Yuffie hugged him from behind. He looked at her and tears were falling on her cheeks. He patted the girl's head and smiled. He felt so sleepy. He never had used so much power on his life. He needed to rest. He looked at Yuffie again and smiled. His eyelids felt so heavy.
"Yuffie… I need… to rest…" He fell on the ground and made Yuffie shout.
"Allen! Allen! Can you hear me? The palace! Hang on Allen, Father will be here to help you out… There's a bed for you inside the palace with your name Allen, Just don't die Old Geezer!"
"You're annoying, just like him… I'm not going to die" he remembered his friend Lavi. He was very annoying but he was a great friend.
"Don't you worry Allen; the palace has prepared you a bed to rest…" Yuffie was cut off when Allen put a finger on her lips.
"Yuffie, I need you to do me a favor…" he said as he slowly regained his balance to stand up. "Please take me to the nearest cave…"
"A cave? Are you crazy? You can't sleep on a cave! Come on! I'm dragging you to the palace whenever you like it or not and I'm not waiting for father to help you out" she said as she pulled Allen's cloth.
"Please Yuffie, take me to the nearest cave…"
She looked at him in the eye and noticed a flicker of gold orbs. She nodded and held Allen's hand and led him to the nearest cave. It was on near on the village and on top of it. They entered the cave and looked around for monsters that could come out any second. There was light in the end of the cave; they went deep inside and ended up in a huge area. They were still inside the cave but it was huge. In the middle of the cave was water filled with green and glowing water, Mako.
"Now we're here so what are you planning?" Yuffie asked.
He walked towards the water and at every step he made, crystals were formed and in a flashed of bright light filled the cave. Yuffie covered her eyes and when the light faded, she saw Allen, he was inside the crystal, his eyes were closed and when she looked at the white cloth it looked like tiny wings of an angel. The crystal formed in a very unique kind of way. It has wings on both sides. In Yuffie's eyes, it was beautiful. The water beneath the crystal became clear. It's just like ordinary water.
"Allen! Hey! You're still alive in there right?" Yuffie shouted.
"Oi! Answer me! Please!"
She went through the water and touched the crystal. She had forgotten that the water was mako filled. She waited but there was no effect on her. It was just plain ordinary water. She took a sip of it and this surprised her. She felt so light headed. It's just like her troubles washed away.
"Nee, Mana, did I done a great job?"
She looked at the water and saw a man with a top hat and a boy not older than ten playing and balancing himself with a huge ball. The man nodded.
"You did great, Allen"
Allen? She thought. This was memories of him, the happy memories. She let go of the crystal and the images in the water disappeared. She looked backed at Allen and saw him smiling, he was dreaming. She smiled and got herself out of the water. She pulled a vile and put some of the water in it. She stood up and looked at Allen with determination.
"Allen!" she shouted.
"It's time for me to go!" she shouted again. "I promise you! I will protect you while you sleep!" she walked away and stopped for a while. "Sleep well, Allen, Good night" she left the cave.
When she came out the cave, she was surrounded with her people. Her father was also there waiting for her.
"Where is he? I want to thank him for everything of what he has done for us and for Wutai" Godo smiled. She smiled and looked at her father.
"He's sleeping father" she said. "He would be happy that we will not disturb him. He was having a good dream"
Godo patted her daughter. "Then, we will not disturb him from his sleep. Come, we have more work to do" he said as they when down the mountain and started to work on renovating the whole village. Everyone was happy that the war ended. When you looked at Wutai, it was like there was no war. Everything turned back to normal and everyone in the village thank the stranger "Crowned Clown" Only Yuffie knew his real name.
She was inside the palace and looked at the books she found inside the ark while Allen was giving her a tour. She took two books. One was titled "The White Clown" authored by "Lenalee Lee" While the other one was titled "The Holy War" authored by "Lavi Bookman." She never liked reading but when she started to read the story of The White Clown, she never stopped until it was finished. It was time for her to sleep. She finished only twenty pages of the story. She remembered the vile that she brought and so she took it out of her bag. She went outside and poured the water on her personal pond. Nothing happened. Not for long, she saw a man with long blue hair and by his side was Allen.
"Get the hell out of my way Moyashi" the man said as he pointed his sword on Allen's face.
"My name is Allen, BaKanda or maybe your brain is just so slow you can't understand what I'm saying"
"I'll cut that white hair of yours and sell them to an old geezer"
"Would it be profitable if you sell blue hair instead of white?"
This was Allen's dream and made her giggled. When the Sakura petal fell of the tree and landed on the water pond. Ripples formed and everything was gone. She did enjoy the little show. She went inside and gave herself a good night sleep as well.
"Eh? Sephiroth was beaten?" Zack couldn't believe his ears. The Great Sephiroth was beaten. The greatest of SOLDIER was beaten.
