Serah, her pink hair much like her sisters, stood in front of Lightning and Cloud. She raised her MP5 and aimed at Lightning.
"Claire!" cried Serah, her voice sweet and high. Lightning dropped from Clouds' arms and ran towards Serah. Zack swiftly stood in front of Serah, his broadsword pointing at Lightning, who had halted her run. His black spiky hair longer than Cloud remembered. Cloud ran up behind Lightning and rested his hand on her shoulder. Lightning tured to look at Cloud, who was staring directly at Zack, his adoptive brother and the person he has spent a decade of his life looking for.
"Zack, I found you!" yelled Cloud.
"Who said I wanted to be found?" asked Zack, his voice full of anger and hatred. His sword aimed at Cloud now. Lightning dropped her gunblade and her legs gave way as the realisation that Serah wasn't the same little girl she was 10 years ago.
"Light, we have to fight, we found them but something is wrong with them," whispered Cloud catching Lightning around her waist. She bent down and picked up the gunblade which once belonged to the lady in front of her, Serah.
"Serah!" cried Lightning, "Do you remember this weapon?" Lightning flipped the gunblade into the sword. Serahs' face began twitching slightly at the sight of her own made weapon.
"I... I made that for you," whispered Serah," even at seven I was a gifted craftsman."
"That's right," laughed Lightning, "You couldn't stop building things." Serah move around Zack, who was quite tall and muscular. Serah walked over towards Lightning, who pushed herself past Cloud. Serah dropped her MP5 to waist level. Lightning flipped her gunblade into the gun form and holstered it. Lightning began sprinting to Serah. He MP5 began shining and it suddenly formed into a bow-sword. Lightning stopped as Serah made the bow into sword mode.
"Another thing I built, with these augmentations in me it gave me more power to do this as well." Serah swiped her sword though the air and a wave of red energy smacked Lightning square on the chest, throwing her back to Cloud. Cloud caught Lightning as she was thrown backwards. Cloud unholstered his handgun and aimed at Serah. Lightning grabbed his gun and threw it off the rooftop. Cloud propped Lightning up against the motorbike. He grabbed his sword from the holster on the bike.
"I see I'll have to take you home by force then, Zack," said Cloud, striding over towards him. Zack strided over to Cloud, staring right at him. Cloud leapt towards Zack. Zack mirrored Clouds' move and leapt towards Cloud. Both of the fighters raised their swords and they collided as the pair met in the middle of the rooftop. Sparks showered Lightning and Serah as the fighting pairs' weapons collided. Clouds' mark began glowing black, the blackness growing to his sword. Clouds' sword cloaked in blackness grew thinner and longer. His eyes widened as in his hand was a 6ft 7" sword in his hand. Cloud screamed as a searing pain broke through his back. Clouds' eyes began glowing bright cyan as a beautiful white wing burst forth from his left shoulder blade. Clouds' eyes reverted to their original colour. He flapped his wing once and he flew into the air. Zack leapt up after him. Cloud thrusted his sword towards Zack, who couldn't do anything to stop him. Zack stopped as Cloud had impaled him with his sword. Cloud flew down to the roof and impaled the rooftop with his sword and Zack, impaled through the stomach, still on the sword. Clouds' wing dissappated into the air and some feathers fluttered down around him.
"Z... Zack... what have I done?" cried Cloud, tears falling from his cheeks.
"Cloud... live for us both... defeat... Ho... jo..." strained Zack, his body going limp. His final breath.
"ZACK!" cried Serah, dropping her weapon to run over to Zack. She lifted his head onto her thigh, stroking his face delicately.
"Zack..." cried Cloud, the tears dripping onto Zacks SOLDIER uniform.
"Cloud..." whispered Lightning, her arms reaching around Clouds' neck, hugging him.
"We... we have to finish what he wanted me to do," sobbed Cloud, standing up. He looked down to Serah and nodded. Lightning and Cloud walked over to their bike. Cloud straddled the bike, Lightning climbing on after him, her hands on his waist. He gripped her hand and intertwinned their fingers. Lightning kissed his neck then rested her head on his back, her free hand tracing his left shoulder where the wing came from. There wasn't a scar or a mark to say there was a wing there a few moments ago. Cloud pulled down the throttle and burst off the rooftop, driving by Zacks' deceased body. Cloud bent down and swiped Zacks' sword, as a reminder of him. He holstered it in the bikes holster down by his left leg. Cloud drove a crater in the ground which was made by Slendermans' body, which wasn't there.
