Sorry for this late update! School and stuff : Anyways, here we go! I decided, why not Mekazu would get some of a slight romance before the incident? xD
Additional Notes: Ragnarok blade of FFVII is different from my Ragnarok Weapon of Prism Core. Remember this story has CC's canon plot with alterations, but much more detailed. :
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, except for my OCs.
A few hours before the incident...
Mekazu finished reading everything about the Jenova Project, and went off to a mountain cliff to refresh. "Hmm..."
"Young boy, are you still in doubt?" asked Minerva, appearing beside him armorless, only her godly robe.
Mekazu turned around to make sure no one else is there, and proceeded to sit.
"Why wouldn't I? So much complicated keywords..." said Mekazu, he shook his head.
"I see." Minerva also sat down.
"Well, can you call me by name?" asked Mekazu.
"Alright it is, Mekazu." replied Minerva, as she pulled Mekazu behind closer, and lets him lay on her lap.
"Wha...?" asked a confused Mekazu.
"You seem tired, Meka." said Minerva, stroking Mekazu's windswept-spiked hair.
He groaned. "Tch, that nickname.. Oh, by the way. What brings you here?"
She replied. "I've taken an interest about your existence, since that time..."it" was born."
"Ragnarok Weapon?"
"Correct. But I am not allowed to tell you about it; you discover it yourself."
Mekazu stood up. "Tonight, I have to do something."
"Alright, Meka. Until we meet again." Minerva disappeared.
At night..
The entire Nibelheim was in flames. Houses everywhere were scorched like hell. The water tank has crashed down into flames. Everyone died. Cloud was laid unconscious. Tifa is missing.
Zack rushed to the scene, and he saw Sephiroth, unfazed, with a glare of chaotic madness.
"I'm coming to get you..." he said, as he walk into the flames unscathed.
"How could you...? Sephiroth... how could you?!" said an enraged Zack. He was about to follow him when the black-red feathers fell infront of him.
"That fucking bastard, he could had just blown the entire damn Shinra but he killed innocents?! He ain't getting away!" descended Mekazu with a dark look on his face.
"Mekazu! What are you doing here?!" said Zack, about to ready his sword.
"Calm down, kid. I'm not your enemy." replied Mekazu.
"Then why did you made a wrong conclusion about Sephiroth!?" asked Zack, still hostile towards him.
"Isn't it obvious? We all SOLDIERs have Jenova Cells. Like I said "Your mother's cells are EVERYWHERE.", I'm basically stating the truth." he replied.
Zack disarmed his sword. "Well, can you help me against him?"
"Sorry Zack, nope. I gotta clean up this mess Sephiroth spilled on the silver platter. You go after him, too. I'll take care of this blondie also." said Mekazu.
"Thanks." said Zack, running towards the outskirts.
Zack ran all the way to the reactor, and found Tifa lying down in the entrance.
He checked on her. "Sephiroth did this, didn't he?"
Tifa, still have the energy to shout, she outbursted. " I hate you! I hate Shinra, I hate SOLDIER! I hate you all!"
Zack ignored the sudden hate as he goes further into the open chamber labeled 'JENOVA'.
There, he watched Sephiroth, close to Jenova, rather the Jenova Doll.
Sephiroth said. "Mother, let's take back the planet together. I...I had an epiphany. Let's go to the promised land... Mother..."
Zack yelled at Sephiroth. "Sephiroth! Why did you kill the townspeople? Why did you hurt Tifa? Answer me, Sephiroth!"
Sephiroth continued. "Mother, they're here again. You should have ruled this planet. You were stronger, smarter. But then they came... Those inferior dullards... They came and took this planet away from you. But don't be sad, Mother. I am with you now..."
Meanwhile, at outside, Mekazu went inside the reactor and watched Zack and Sephiroth.
Sephiroth pulled away the Jenova Doll forcefully, breaking its wires with a flickering blast of fuses until a blue light shone in the chamber.
Inside the tube was a woman with a grotesque figure; with a huge connector tube binded to the outside glass of the chamber.
"We meet at last, Mother." said Sephiroth.
Zack moved forward, pointing his Buster Sword's blade on Sephiroth. "Sephiroth! Have you completely lost your mind?!"
Sephiroth responded with an attack, pushing Zack away falling into a concrete glass floor. Sephiroth followed. The two started clashing swords against each other.
Zack proceeded to attack Sephiroth but he blocked them all. He used Draw Blade but Zack dodged it by rolling on the floor. The clash continues as Sephiroth hits Zack with Octaslash, while Zack used also Octaslash by means of his Digital Mind Wave.
Minutes later, Zack yelled. "No, you're not-you're not the Sephiroth I once knew!"
Sephiroth said. "I'am the chosen one. I have been chosen to rule this planet."
After some moments, Sephiroth focused his Masamune , and broke the concrete glass floor.
Zack, now standing at a floating minibridge, and beneath them is a Mako pit. Sephiroth smirks, once Zack is pushed away, its the end of him.
The clash continues as Sephiroth unleashed madness against Zack, now, at the edge of the minibridge, he said. "Die."
Sephiroth launched an attack, Zack blocking it causing himself to be pushed away on the cliff. Zack screamed in fear, helpless.
Just in time, Mekazu caught him in one hand. "So much for that, heroic kid. Now go up, I'll handle things here." With his SOLDIER strength, he threw Zack upwards, back to the chamber.
Zack shouted. "Mekazu! No! You mustn't fight him! No!"
Mekazu ignored Zack's warnings and faced Sephiroth.
Sephiroth said. "So you came late, Mekazu. I will kill you."
Mekazu, within calm rage he said. "I ain't going to die, you sensitive monster!"
Mekazu unsheathed Andromeda and the clash began. Every time Mekazu is pushed off the minibridge, he flies back thanks to his wing.
Sephiroth said. "Little kid, why won't you just give up..."
Mekazu, now enraged, said. "Get the hell out of here you alien-lover!" He launched his sword Andromeda upwards, sending Sephiroth to an impact above, hurting him.
Sephiroth responded with a groan and launched back down at Mekazu. Mekazu is ready to block, but the sword was directly stabbed into his chest, below the sword he was blocking.
Mekazu felt intense pain for the first time and he said. "D...Damn..." Sephiroth responded with a smirk. "Now, die."
Sephiroth launched a full-hit Octaslash, slicing him into shreds as his clothing had been smeared in blood. He was slashed in the edge of the minibridge.
Before Mekazu could counter, he fell down, on the verge of death, and seconds later, he died.
Sephiroth turned away, he declared. "How pathetic. I tell you, you won't win against the Chosen One."
Mekazu's voice rang all over the area. "Who said I have died?"
Sephiroth's eyes widened and turned back to Mekazu's body. A red materia glowin, came out of his pocket and started heating up.
"If your flames are burnt out, this materia will ignite it back to your fury." He remembered Minerva's reminder.
The red materia, and Mekazu's body scorched in extra-hot flames, covering them.
"What...?!" said Sephiroth in shock.
The flames spawned white feathers, as it forms into a vortex.
"After what you did, I'll fucking kill you!"
The vortex faded, but the ground flames are raging apart, as it stood a Phoenix behind Mekazu, with his body healed like nothing happened.
"FLAMES OF REBIRTH FURY!" he shouted with rage.
Phoenix returned into his materia and kept it under his pocket, this time, he launched himself against Sephiroth, clashing swords.
"Mortals cannot be revived! Impossible! What are you?!" said Sephiroth in disbelief.
Mekazu smirked. "Simply, if you are a Cetra, then I'am Ragnarok!"
Mekazu stabs Sephiroth at the right momentum, and raised him upwards.
Sephiroth said. "You.."
Mekazu replied with a glare. "I'm a mortal? Nope. MONSTER."
Mekazu threw off Sephiroth to a wall with electronics, he was blasted and fell down to the mako pit.
That's all guys! XD So Mekazu fought him instead of Zack, but nonetheless Hojo's schemes will still happen, but now Mekazu is going back to Shinra for some hidden intent.
