Over the next month went a very quiet search on around Gaia. Tseng had send Rude together with Cait to the northern cave. Cait being a roboter could survive the Mako concentration in the crater. They reported that they had found no signs of anything. Then Reno together with Elena went to Mideel, nothing there. Barrett, Cid and Vincent kept looking wherever they went, so did Cloud on his tours. Yuffie searched Wutai for old records, helped by her father. She had told him the truth. Red still looked in the cave for more answers, but now after almost three month had they found nothing.

Then one evening called Reeve Cloud. "Cloud, where are you?" "In Junon, why?" "Call me nuts, but I had an idea!" "Reeve if we keep that up are we soon all nuts, so tell me your idea!" First silence, then. ""So far at all the places we looked nothing. We searched everywhere one of the other weapons showed up. But one place never had one!" Cloud stared at his phone. "Reeve you speaking in riddle…Oh you're right!" Cloud turned to the harbor. "Darned no ship! I call Cid. I go there with him." Cloud hung up and dialed again. "Cid where are you? On your way to Edge! Could you pick me up? I need you to take me somewhere! Where? The temple of the ancient!"

"Spiky, that is nuts. Why sh…." "Cid! All the other places, at least one weapon was there! Only here at the temple was not one of them! Why?" Now looked Cid at Cloud, then at the island in front of them. "Because of those ghosts of those ancients?" Cloud nodded. "Could be or…" "The other one is here! I land at the edge of the water. You're going there?" Cloud nodded "I'll drive there. Wish me luck!" Four hours later came a call. "Cid get ready! He's not here, but I know now where he is!" "Cloud how….Damned talk!" "Get ready; I'm almost by you now, open the hatch. I'm driving in!" With a few juicy words opened Cid the hatch, heard the bike, then Cloud stormed on the bridge. "Off to Cosmo Canyon, we pick them up. I call Reeve…." "CLOUD WHERE IS HE?" "At the forgotten city! The Cetra kept him at bay. That was why they build that city there!" Cid started the Sierra, Cloud begun to dial so did Cid. Soon everyone knew the facts; they decided to meet at the WRO.

"How did you…" begun Reeve, Cloud answered "I arrived at the site of the temple. At first I found nothing, but then….He showed up." He?" asked Rufus, Barrett and Vincent at the same time. Cloud nodded. "He! Uhh or she! One of the Ancient. You remember they can't talk anymore?" All of the gang nodded. "But how…." "Tseng he gave me this!" Cloud pulled a metal plate out of his delivery bad and put it on the table. All looked at it. "Wow is that thing huge!" whispered Yuffie. Barrett nodded and Red asked. "But why you think the forgotten city, Cloud?" Cloud pointed next to the tiny human figure. "That's why!" Tifa now looked from the huge monster to where Cloud pointed. "Those are trees! Trees like the ones…." She looked now at Cloud, who nodded. "The ones around the forgotten city. So he's there!" ""Guys I never saw one of those weapons! So tell me…." Red interrupted Rude. "When this plate shows the truth is that weapon at least twice Ruby's or Emerald's size!"

"And those two we barely defeated the help of all our Summons!" said Cid, Reno stared at him. "You're kidding right? That Materia is destroyed. How in the world…." "Reno we're not! And to how? I have no idea! Our weapons we have now? No chance against that!" said Reeve, Cloud nodded. "For right now we pray it stays where it is. Reeve make sure no one goes there! And if it rises….." Cloud fell silent for a moment, then "We'll try to beat it. We got lucky before, maybe we will one more time!"

One night two month after the meeting called Red Cloud. "Cloud I found another book. I was right. That Weapon stayed because of Jenova. The Cetra sealed it under the city, but in this book it says that this weapon is the destructor of life. He will rise, but only if the balance between evil and good is gone. Then normally the other Weapons would took care of it, but.." "Because we destroyed them are they gone! What have we done?" Tifa looked at Cloud. "Cloud no one could known this! Not even Aeris. Those two books…Cloud I think they come from the Ancient, not the Cetra. And they did not tell us at the Temple about him. Maybe they forgot!" Hearing nothing asked Red. "Cloud! Are you still there?" "Yes I am. Ok Reeve closed that archeological site and put some devices up, so any movement there and we know it! Bye Red!" Cloud hung up.

"Cloud what is wrong?" he looked at Tifa. Then he told her what Red had said. "And we destroyed them. This is all…." "If you say your fault, slap I you!" Now he stared at Tifa. "Yes I will. You know Sephiroth had gotten that Materia! His clones had gotten that. And we saved the planet from destruction…." "Yes so it can die now!" said he. "We don't know that. He might never rise. And if he does, do we need all of us to defeat it!" Cloud looked up at the plate who hung in his office. "How? No Materia! And no Cetra! We have…" he trailed off. "I know Cloud. But please don't give up hope! We survived Meteo with a miracle, maybe there will be another one!" He looked at her, nodded and said. "Yes I know. Sorry Tifa! I….I'm just a little tired. Tomorrow do I have another hard day, then I take a few days off." She looked at him. "Where you have to go?" "Cost del Sol! I will be gone for at least two days. Ok?" Tifa nodded, he left for his room.
