Sorry for the wait. For a while i was having focus issues, the internet is evil. Well here it is, as promised. Please read, review, and most of all, enjoy.
"Hello Citizens of Cocoon, today I kill the two that saved your world." Sephiroth said to the camera, madness racing through his bright green eyes. He looked away from the camera and started walking towards Cloud, the Masamune vanishing as he walked.
"I want this sicko taken off the air NOW," Primarch Rosch yelled to his assistants "I don't care how, just silence this terrorist."
"Sir, we have already tried," a nervous young man muttered.
"What do you mean?" Rosch questioned.
"Every radio and television station stopped transmitting as soon as that," Rosch's assistant pointed to the screen "Started broadcasting."
"So he is broadcasting this message over every channel and radio wave, even though not one tower is transmitting," Primarch Yaag Rosch was beginning to think that this was not just an ordinary terrorist. This could possibly be the only being more stubborn than a Fal'Cie "Do we have any idea where this signal is coming from?"
"Bodhum, sir," A young woman said quickly.
"Send every soldier in the area. This man needs to die."
When Sephiroth reached the blond, he pulled off his black gloves and removed his long black coat,his wing temporarily disappearing, letting it fall to the ground into a heap. The bare chested warrior stood over the blond and lowered himself down, knees on either side of Clouds torso. The two glared at each other for a solid minute before Sephiroth's left fist crashed into the right side of Clouds face. Just as Clouds head was forced to his left, Sephiroth hit him with his right fist, quickly followed by another hit from the left fist. After six alternating hits, Sephiorth stopped for a moment.
"I always thought I would kill you with the Masamune or my magic," Sephiroth said quietly to the blond.
"Sorry for disappointing you," Cloud hissed back, his gaze flicking to the lock of orange hair.
"Don't get me wrong, Cloud, I am filled with joy that I will be able to end your life with my bare hands," Sephiroth ended their exchange of words by resuming the beating.
Lightning took the opportunity to race to her feet and attempt to help Cloud. She grabbed Blaze Edge and ran as quietly as possible, knowing she had a very slim chance of actually succeeding. When She was within ten feet of Sephiroth, he turned to his left to look at her, his right hand was open and a bolt of lightning jumped out of it. The bolt slammed into Lightning's chest, throwing her off her feet and yanking the air out of her lungs.
All the others, except for Snow, arrived just in time to hear the crash of thunder and see Lightning hit the ground. They saw Sephiorth, his folded in black wing, straddling Cloud and beating the life out of the blond warrior. Fang made a move but the sight of Lightning stopped her.
"C-Can't get . . . close enough . . . too fast," Lightning managed to sputter out. Aerith instantly went to heal Lightning of her wounds.
"We get too close and he puts us down," Vincent said in a thoughtful tone "And we can't even hurt him because he is using Vanille," Fang lit up at the mention of her close friend.
"Vanille!" Fang shouted as loud as she could "Don't you dare let him kill Cloud!" no one thought that what Fang was doing would have any effect at all.
Almost everyone fell victim to open-mouth surprise when Sephiroth's fist immediately stopped mid-swing. Sephiroth's gaze snapped to his blood soaked fist that refused to follow his command, a heated glare on his face.
"How is this possible?" Sephiroth hissed at, as it appeared to the others, himself. His fingers slowly uncurled and a bright flash followed soon after. The light dissipated and every wound Cloud had received was completely gone, along with any and all traces of them "How did she -" Sephiroth was interrupted by Cloud planting a fist on his chest, sending the silver haired warrior sprawling.
Cloud scrambled to climb to his feet and raced to retrieve his Fusion Blade. With the large sword firmly in his grasp, Cloud turned to finish the battle. However, Sephiroth was still climbing off the ground. He was trembling and twitching from trying to overpower Vanille, who had amazing mental strength by anyone's standards.
Sephiroth was engulfed in light making only his large black wing visible. A flash happened and Vanille was rolling across the ground towards the group. The light grew larger and the black wing flapped slowly, but with each flap it grew larger. The wing and the light grew to an immense size; it had lifted into the air as if to make room for its size.
As the light grew brighter on the screen, every one of the viewers in the main square of Nautilus had to shield their eyes. Soon after the bright light, the screen switched to a blank blue screen meaning the unknown signal was now dead. The screen flashed off then back on quickly, but was now filled by a young female news caster.
"It has been reported that nearly all military forces in Bodhum and Palumpolum are moving towards the origin of the strange transmission that had been on the air until a moment ago."
Murmurs spread through the crowd. Most of the people were saying it was a good idea to send the military, especially if someone was impersonating the man that had threatened all life.
Fang dropped her double bladed lance, charged towards Vanille, threw the small girl onto her shoulder and sprinted back to the group. Vanille jumped off the huntress' shoulder and took up a battle stance.
Six huge white wings erupted from the bottom of the light. The light dimmed until vanishing and in its place was a being of enormous size. The being was a hybrid of two forms Avalanche fought many years ago, a complete monstrosity. The upper body was the grotesque form of what had been called Bizarro Sephiorth, by Shinra, except it had the gigantic black wing and two full arms of great size; it would be able to hold a fully grown adult in one hand. The lower half of it was the six white wings that had replaced Sephiroth's legs when he had taken his 'Seraph' form. The core of the being still protruded out the front of the being, showing the obvious weak spot.
"How are we supposed to kill that thing?" Sazh shouted in a panic stricken voice.
"Just calm down old man," Fang yelled to him.
"He just made himself a fal'Cie. We have killed a few of those," Lightning said to the former l'Cie.
"And we have killed him before!" Cloud shouted to Avalanche.
"You believe you can kill me?" Sephiroth said through their minds, making everyone shudder at the intrusion "I'll have you know, I have become indestructible. The annihilation of your weak species is unavoidable," Sephiroth directed his left hand towards the group, spread his fingers and a blue beam shot from his palm.
Everyone barely got out of the way in time. The beam impacted the ground, throwing dust and dirt in every direction. When the cloud of dust settled and everyone had climbed to their feet, a devastating sight met them. A perfectly round hole, five feet across and ten feet deep, now sat where the team had been standing not twenty seconds ago.
"And that is just the tip of the iceberg," Sephiroth said telepathically "Allow me to show you some of my greater power," the black wing rose up until it was pointing straight into the air, and every feather began to glow.
The glow grew brighter and more orange until only the edge of the wing had an orange tint and soon after, fired off the wing with a whoosh sound. The light burst into countless small beams that spread out in every direction. The beams slowly curved down towards the ground while the group stared in awe. As the beams rained down, they slammed into buildings, cars, and the ground creating explosions as if Sephiroth had just summoned several artillery strikes on Bodhum.
In mere seconds, many buildings had been completely leveled. More cars than anyone could care to count were destroyed or crushed and undoubtedly nearly thousands of lives had been ended in an instant. As Bodhum burned around them, the group felt something that was alien to them, a feeling that only appeared when they were confronted by Sephiroth and his infinitely superior power. Complete hopelessness.
Sephiroth raised his right hand towards the group spread his fingers and revealed something stunning. On his palm was a giant image of a fully developed Pulse l'Cie brand. The image began shining a bright crimson and Sephiroth spoke.
"Once branded a l'Cie, you never escape the fate," the former Pulse l'Cie fell to their knees and clutched the places their brands used to be.
"Lightning!" Cloud shouted and ran to her side. A furious red glowed from beneath her clothes, but was fully visible above them.
Vincent went to Fang's side and saw the area of the mark shining the same shade of red "Release them you bastard!" he shouted the heartless being who just laughed at the gunslinger.
Even though his class had long since given up doing work and started chatting amongst themselves, even the teacher, Hope still remained focused on the screen. He was hoping for an update on the situation. The biggest question on his mind was 'what could be happening?' he quickly learned from the first time that Sephiroth was an unpredictable enemy.
Suddenly pain. Pain so great his fist clenched, his eyes slammed shut and his teeth were grinding together. He forced his eyes open and looked at the origin point of the pain. His left wrist. Exactly where the brand had been. What Hope saw next was unbelievable, the l'Cie brand reappeared. Fully developed and shining a bright angry red.
The pain in his body kept multiplying until he was shouting and crying from pain, and unable to move. After that the pain continued to increase until Hope was close to passing out. The platinum blond boy could hear Sephiroth laughing and feel the silver haired warriors piercing gaze in the back of his mind.
