"How do you address the God-King?" Cloud asked Yuffie.
"As a monster!" Yuffie spat, feeling she had nothing left to lose by being honest.
"Wrong answer." Tifa used one of Yuffie's own knives to slice off her top and bra, exposing her nascent breasts.
"You can't do this! I'm only fifteen!" Yuffie protested, shivering. She would have tried to cover herself, but Cloud and Tifa were still holding onto her arms.
"At fifteen you are an adult. That was the first law I passed." Sephiroth informed her. "You were right when you said you weren't a child."
"Let's try something easier." Tifa said. "How do you address my husband?"
Yuffie paused this time before answering, but realized it didn't matter, there was no hope they would spare her. "He's…he's a wannabe monster!"
"Wrong again." Tifa told her, about to cut the rest of Yuffie's clothes off and leave her naked, when Cloud shook his head.
"I have a better idea. She'll show some respect by paying me homage." Cloud said to Tifa, who nodded and when Cloud let go of Yuffie's arm, Tifa promptly tied Yuffie's hands behind her back. When Yuffie refused to open her mouth, Tifa tweaked her nipples hard and Cloud quickly shoved himself into her mouth when Yuffie cried out. Tifa held her head straight, and when Yuffie made no move to please him, Cloud covered Tifa's hands with his own, and they gently moved her head back and forth. "We shouldn't do more than this with her though, we don't want to spoil her for the Bacchanalia." Cloud told Tifa.
"You always did enjoy a good virgin sacrifice, didn't you?" Tifa smiled at him, and they kissed as Cloud came in Yuffie's mouth, remembering their first time.
It gave Tifa scant comfort to see that Cloud was affected as they entered Junon Harbor and saw the carnage they had unleashed on the town. Dead bodies were everywhere, human and beast alike, and there wasn't a live plant to be seen. The carrion birds were there in droves however, feasting like there was no tomorrow. Sephiroth merely smiled serenely. As he led them through the town, a man appeared and started yelling at him.
"Damn you, Sephiroth! How could you? You told me it was just to stop them from resupplyng their forces at Fort Condor!" the man ranted, grabbing Sephiroth's jacket. "All these people…you're a monster!" Cloud immediately moved to restrain the man, with Tifa standing between him and Sephiroth. "I'd like to introduce you two to the former leader of AVALANCHE." Sephiroth calmly said, smoothing out his jacket.
"What do you mean, former, I'm still th…" the man never finished his sentence, instead his head rolled off his body, and Sephiroth wiped his sword clean on the decapitated body before putting it back in its sheath.
"He served his purpose." Sephiroth told Cloud and Tifa as he resumed walking, leaving them to follow him to a church of all places.
"Why are we here?" Tifa asked.
"You both deserve a reward for your actions yesterday, ensuring a beautiful beginning to the Purge." Sephiroth stripped one of the dead bodies, and donned the priestly robes. "This will work for now." he said once he had adjusted the robe, then turned to Cloud and Tifa. "Do you both acknowledge me as the rightful heir to the planet and its new God-King?"
"Yes!" Cloud exclaimed fervently, making Tifa's simple "Yes." almost not heard.
"I need to be paid tribute to before I can continue. Which of you will it be?" Sephiroth asked them.
"Me!" Cloud blurted out right away, eagerly kneeling in front of him. He needed to be filled with Sephiroth again, to reassure himself that all this death was righteous. He waited impatiently for Sephiroth to expose himself, feeling so relieved when he came in Cloud's mouth.
"Your willingness to serve does you much credit." Sephiroth said as he gently caressed Cloud's cheek. "Stay there." he ordered, taking out his sword and knighting Cloud. "Rise up, Sir Cloud. You now are not only the first of my knights, and therefore leader of all those that will follow, but you have proven yourself worth of the rank of SOLDIER First Class." Sephiroth tore off his own rank insignia and placed it on Cloud, who beamed with happiness as he stood up…he had gotten his reassurance and so much more.
"Now for your reward." Sephiroth said to Tifa. He took one of her hands and one of Cloud's and tied their wrists together. "Do you promise to always honor Cloud as your beloved husband?"
Tifa's mouth dropped open. "I'm…I'm only fifteen." she pointed out. "I can't get married yet."
"As God-King, I now declare fifteen as the age of adulthood." Sephiroth stated. "Now do promise?"
"Yes!" Tifa exclaimed, hope creeping cautiously into her. If he was serious…
"Sir Cloud, do you promise to cherish Tifa as your beloved wife?" Sephiroth asked him.
"Yes." Cloud nodded as he spoke.
"And do you both promise that serving me will supersede any personal relationship you have with each other?" Sephiroth now asked both of them.
"Yes." They said together.
Sephiroth sliced both of their palms and then clasped their hands together. "As you now share your blood, so do you share the rest of your lives. I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride."
Cloud kissed Tifa, hesitantly at first, and as their bodies started to respond, he laid her down on the altar, and Tifa found herself moaning as he caressed her while taking her panties off. This wasn't how she imagined her wedding would be, but at least she had the husband she always wanted. Closing her eyes to shut out everything but him, she only knew it was Cloud opening her top to nuzzle her breasts, Cloud's hands exploring her body, and Cloud taking her innocence that made her feel so many new wonderful things. She involuntarily flinched at the pain, but it was brief, and soon her moaning got louder and louder until she cried out as she felt herself explode. Opening her eyes, she smiled at her husband, then frowned as she realized he was looking at Sephiroth, not at her. Suddenly she felt as dead as the bodies still sitting in the pews.
