The Planet's Part

Chapter 6
Sephiroth's Plan

The eight stood locked in their previous positions as Sephiroth finally stopped laughing. "Thank you Cloud," he finally said looking at Cloud. "I needed your blood to set the Jenova in me. I was made without Jenova cells that I needed. But now your time has come to perish and I will revive Jenova to destroy the planet." He stopped and they all just stood and listened to him. "Well then," said Cloud raising his sword. "We'll just have to stop you again." "I'm sorry Cloud," Sephiroth said raising his own sword. "But you will not be able to stop me this time. You see Prof. Edin enhanced me with these biomechanical parts to make me indestructible. Oh! And it seems that you brought me another Cetra to get rid of so he doesn't stop my plans and my mother's." He looked over at Case and slashed in his direction, making him jump back. The others didn't say a word and just stood there, amazed that Aeris wasn't the last one. "C,cetra?" Case said finally realizing what he was. "That's what the woman told me I was. She said 'Be strong, all Cetra go through this phase in their lifetime', that's what she told me." "Be strong.......", muttered Cloud thinking about Aeris. "Shu'up Sephiroth!" Barret said loading his gun. "You want to challenge me?!" Sephiroth asked, not surprised. "Come on." They got into battle mode and Barret cast the first spell, 'Regen'. Cloud cast 'Big Guard' on everyone and cast 'Ultima' on Sephiroth. Heat filled the room while a green ball of energy landed on Sephiroth and exploded. The blast was a direct hit while Cid mimicked Cloud and cast the same spells. Vincent shot at Sephiroth but missed, and Case cast 'Light 1' on Sephiroth which hit him with a beam of light square in the chest. Heather had up her limit and did 'Heat Arrow' on him that made Sephiroth a bit weaker. Cait Sith summoned 'NeoBahamut' after Heather's attack. The entire group watched as Sephiroth was taken up to the sky and attacked. The flare burnt him slightly but didn't hurt him that much. Katlyn attacked and got him right in his gut, knocking the wind out of him. Then Sephiroth, full with anger, morphed his hand into a big laser type gun and countered with his 'Hand Laser', that hit everyone, sending them to the ground. Barret got up and cast 'Cure 3' to heal everyone, but then Sephiroth took his Masamune and slashed Case, who fell after the blow. "That takes care of that," said Sephiroth wiping the blood from his sword. "Now if you will excuse me I'll be on my way." He turned around and flew through the window, out of the office while Vincent and Barret followed shooting at him. "Case! CASE!" yelled Katlyn running to where Case fell. She knelt down to look at Case; Heather and Cloud followed her to see the wound. "Ughh....Katlyn....how long has....it been....since.....we've seen each....other?" Case muttered. "Shh....don't talk, save your strength," Katlyn said pulling out some Potions. "That's a pretty deep wound," Cloud said gesturing her to put away the Potions. "I'll cast White Wind to heal it." Cloud cast 'White Wind' and a refreshing wind came through and healed Case up to Cloud strength. "That looks better," Katlyn said trying to wipe off the blood that was still there. "He's starting to look better already." "Now that you're better," said Cloud leaning over him. "What is this talk about you being a Cetra?" "Cetra?" asked Barret butting in. "So you a Cetra?......That explains why you looked like you were talking to yourself." "Yeah I guess y'all know now," said Case sitting up. "Lately I've been hearing voices that say they were from the planet. This one girl told me that you saved the planet before and that it needs to be saved again." "Aeris..." said Cloud quietly turning around. "Yes.....is this Edin?" Reeve asked on the phone. "It is? Good. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING REVIVING SEPHIROTH!?!?!?!?!!" "No...no s...sir it wasn't me it was Clive that did it, he revived him but he's dead now sir," Edin lied. "Clive?" asked Reeve turning to Vincent. "Is this true Vincent?" "I'm not sure of it but Clive threw the switch to start up Sephiroth. Also I heard Edin working on him," Vincent told him walking over to the window. "Yes sir it was Clive that brought Sephiroth back to life," repeated Edin. "You're being suspended from work without pay since we're short on scientists," said Reeve and hung up. "Damnit man! You jus' gonna let him go!?" asked Barret. "Well if Clive's dead then I'll just keep Edin under close watch," Reeve replied calling up Reno. "Reno?" "Yes sir I'm here," Reno replied. "Good, I got a personal job for you. I want you to follow Prof. Edin and keep a close watch on him," Reeve told him. "Ok Reeve, I'll get right on it. Also I'll just let you know one of the REBELION people is in Midgar. She's 'bout 5'4", reddish brown hair, and is wearing...." He would've kept on going but Cloud took the phone from Reeve and hung it up. "What the hell did you do that for?" asked Reeve surprised. "I didn't want to tell you but...Heather is that other member," Cloud told him. Reeve looked at Heather, who was still tending to Case with Katlyn, and looked back at Cloud. "Why didn't you say anything?" Reeve asked him. "Hell Reeve!" Cid busted in. "Don't worry 'bout it, she DID help us with Sephiroth didn't she?" "Yeah, I guess you're right Cid," Reeve said adjusting his collar. "I won't let it bother me, BUT she has to help us at all times and after this is all over she'll do manual labor for Shinra." "Heather. Get over here," Cloud said to her. "Yes?" she asked walking to him. "Reeve knows about the bombing," Cloud told her. "Shit....umm...yeah so?", she asked. Reeve, Cloud, Cid, and Heather talked, Vincent stared at the window where Sephiroth flew out. Barret was looking at Cait Sith by Cloud and the others, and Katlyn was tending Case while they talked. "Why.....why didn't....you tell me where....where you were? Was I not good enough for you?" Case asked Katlyn still getting his strength up. "No no no....you were good for me I just.....I just took a job here," Katlyn said still helping him out. "Here in Midgar? but where?", Case replied. "I'm the flower girl in the sector 5 slums. I've just never had time to call you," she said feeling sorry for him. "Well you could've sent a letter," he replied kind of harshly. "I know. I'm sorry Case, hope you're not mad......are you?" she asked worried. "......Nah I'm not mad...but still you should've," he replied giving her a smile. "So where've you been working Mister Why-didn't-you-contact- me?" Katlyn asked him knowing he never wrote her. "Oops...sorry Kat," Case replied with a guilty look on his face. "Anyway I've been working in a construction crew. That's how I met Barret. Then I started hearing the voices and I just ran. I ran from Corel to Rocket Town and that's where I met Cid and Vincent." "Then how'd you get into Midgar?" she asked him. "We rode some gold chocobos here," he continued. "We were following Cloud bec...." He stopped and grabbed his head and moaned. "Ughh....he's got control...of Jenova now." "What did you say?" asked Cloud walking to Case. "Did you say that he's got control of Jenova?" Then all of a sudden Cloud grabbed his and fell to the floor, unconscious. Sephiroth flew down to where the Temple of the Ancients used to be. "Hmmm...." he said viewing the hole. "I wonder if it's here. I should've looked at the Shinra confidential files before I flew out. Well, at least this'll torture Cloud for a while. Now how hard could it be to find a big chunk of materia?" "No..what, what are you...looking..." Cloud said now lying down on the couch. He felt the Jenova cells putting bad thoughts into his head but quickly got over it. "What the hell's goin' on with ya?" asked Cid looking down on him. "He's...Sephiroth is looking for something. He's at familiar places, all the places where something bad happened," Cloud replied sitting up. "Then he's...." "Going to go back to the reactor in the Nibel Mountains," Case said finishing Cloud's sentence. "How'd you know?" Cloud asked. "Voices from the planet told me," Case said holding his head. "I think the planet...I think it is going to do something about Sephiroth and Jenova but I don't know yet. It keeps saying that if some people didn't kill some monster called WEAPON that it could of stopped Sephiroth." "Sh'it! ya don't think that the planet's goin' ta......make a new WEAPON batch....Do ya?" Barret asked scratching his head. "No..." Vincent said walking back from the window. "WEAPON probably takes many years to create. We shouldn't see any of WEAPON for a while." "Well..." Reeve chimed in with a bad tone in his voice. "Our science lab doesn't have the precise date or time that old WEAPON was started and finished. So....we can't really tell where or when new WEAPON will be created." "Well that just raises up all hopes," Katlyn said. "We need to get back to Rocket Town, fast," Cloud said getting off of the couch. "I can get a jet to take you there," Reeve told Cloud helping him up. "I would send Cait Sith with you but you'd probably get mad again." "No," Cloud quickly said. "We need all the man-power we can afford. 'Cause it looks like Sephiroth is worse than ever. By the way, Katlyn I know we just met but it would greatly appreciated if you helped. Will you?" "Sure," Katlyn said nodding. "Plus I can be with Case again." "Why Rocket Town?" asked Cid. "Because," Cloud continued. "We need the Highwind again." "I'll send whatever supplies that you need Cid," Reeve told Cid as he walked over and talked about supplies. Afterwards Reeve called for a jet, which roared overhead some minutes later. Cloud, Barret, Cid, Katlyn, Vincent, Case, Heather, and Cait Sith hopped in the cargo jet and it took off for Rocket Town as Reeve waved them off. "Ughhh...." Cloud moaned. "Damnit man! What's Sephiroth doin' to ya now?" Cid asked trying to sleep. "No...not Sephiroth....motion..sickness. Ughhh..." Cloud replied. After he said that everyone scooted away from Cloud as if he had some fatal disease. "No offense," said Barret. "But ain't none of us want you ta get sick on us." "That's.....that's fine Barret, but...I...can't...really talk so jus' shut up!" Cloud sickly replied. Barret just growled at Cloud's response while the jet sped on. The jet hummed to a stop and hovered down to the ground outside the Highwind. "Alright," said the pilot. "The cargo has to go and I need to get back to Midgar by 8:30." "Well then..." Cid said excited. "Let's get this stuff out and get to work on the Highwind." They all groaned as Cid, Case, Cloud, Barret, Vincent, and Cait Sith helped with the big pieces as Katlyn and Heather got little pieces. They got all the pieces out of the jet in about seven minutes. The jet sped off while Cid whistled for some construction guys to help with the materials. They all got to work on the Highwind; Cid worked on the controls while Barret applied sheet metal with his hand laser. Cait Sith carried materials to everyone so they could keep working. Cloud worked on the interior with Vincent as Case worked on the jet engines with Katlyn. Heather looked over the blueprints and Shera made refreshments for everyone. "Damn!" Cid said frustrated. "Damn these wires! I swear ya wouldn't be able to find your way out if ya went completely in. Ah-ha! There's that bastard cable for the jets. Now lets find that landing harness." He dove back in the mess of wires and left the jet wires outside the cable panel. Case looked inside the engine to see what the problem was while Katlyn watched him. "Hmmm...." he mumbled looking stumped. "These engines should have power flowing to them but they don't." "Here are the blueprints for them," Katlyn said handing him the blueprints. "Thanks Kat," he said and looked at them. "Hmmm.....well that's the lousy problem, there's no cable to hook on right here." He looked up and grabbed two connector with a big space in-between them. "Do you want me to do anything?" Katlyn asked. "Well...go find Cid and see if he has the cable for the engines. You do know when he is." She nodded. "Good, I'd really appreciate it." She walked off and Case sat down by the engine, staring at the evening sky. Barret was almost done applying the sheet metal on the side of the new Highwind when Cait Sith walked up. "Do you need anymore sheet metal Barret?" Cait Sith asked. "Nah, I've got three pieces left an' I only need two," Barret told Cait putting on a new piece. "It almost looks done," Cait Sith said. "The view's spectacular." "Yeah....we all did a good job, but now, I want a good break," Barret said picking up the last sheet. "Go see how Cloud and Vincent are handlin'." "I just thought about that Barret," Cait Sith said hopping off. "Ahh, yes the room's almost done.", Cloud said with a sigh of relief. "Uhh...Cloud," said Vincent. "Sorry to bust your bubble but the chocobo room is suppose to be THAT one, not that first room." "Aw crap," Cloud said looking at the blueprints again. "Well let's get back to work then." They got back to work as Katlyn walked by into the control room towards the cable box with Cid looking in it. "Um...Cid," she asked. "Yeah, what is it?", he replied with his head in the cables. "There's no power flowing to the engines," Katlyn explained. "Also Case needs an extra jet engine cable." "What?" he asked getting out of the cable box. "Here it is.... oh wait I need to hook it up." He hooked up the cable that was outside the box. "There, that outta give those engines power." "But there's a cable output and input on the engine," she told him. "Well damn..." he said looking around. "Wait! that's what that extra separate cable was for." He walked over to the deck where a single cable was and he picked it up then gave it to Katlyn. "Hook this up to the engine but make sure that the engine's turned off." She took the cable and headed out to the engines to give the cable to Case. "Here's the extra cable that you needed," Katlyn said handing Case the cable. "Oh. Make sure and turn off the power so you don't get shocked or anything like that." "Thanks," he said turning off the power and attaching the cable. After the attachment was done Case switched on the engines and listened to them hum to life. It was near midnight when the Highwind was almost completed and everyone got a chance to rest. The engines were humming in the night, and the body was shimmering with new sheet metal. The inside was completely re-done with all the rooms in place, and the control room was a perfect replica of the first one. The wiring for the entire ship was in its rightful place with power flowing throughout the ship. Cid stood on the ground just staring at it while everyone else was laying down then Shera walked over to him. "Ain't she beautiful?" he said proudly. "Yes it is, especially in the night with all the lights making it shine," Shera said looking all around the ground at the others. "Let's leave them to their sleep." "Ok hon, you're probably right, but it's finally done. Now I have something else to do" he said nervously. "What is it Cid?" she asked looking at him. "I've always told myself I'd do this when the Highwind was finished and now I have butterflies, but here goes," Cid stopped and reached in his pocket. "Shera," he said as he slipped a ring on her finger, "Will you marry me?" "Cid..." she said. "Yes...I will." "Hot damn!" he almost yelled hugging her and they walked into his house while almost everyone else slept. Case sat up awake looking at the Highwind. "...Sephiroth's moving..." he said to himself. "Looking for something, but what?... Just hope that Cloud doesn't flip out like you told me he did before."

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 7 Jenova:Embodied

"C'mon c'mon c'mon," Cid said waking everyone up. "Wake up ya bums!" "Damn.." Barret started turning over. "Let us sleep. We just finished that thing for ya...so jus' let us sle-" "No," interrupted Cloud getting up. "We need to leave now to catch Sephiroth." They got everyone else up and got them into the new Highwind with a brand new kitchen so they could eat. Heather cooked eggs and bacon for everyone while Cloud helped her out with the cooking. Cid didn't eat, instead he went to the bridge to see if the Highwind would start. "I've worked on this for two damn years," he said staring at the control console. "Now this damn thing better start." He looked the at the panel and pressed a button to start up the engines. There was a low hum, then a grinding of metal, and finally the Highwind came to life with loud blast and took off. "YES!! I'm airborne again!!!" Everyone rushed in to see if he was alright and saw the ground moving though the big window. "She works Cloud! She works! Thank you all for helping me. Case...good job on the engines." "No problem," Case replied scratching his head. "Wow...it's just like two years ago," Cloud said holding in his breakfast. "It...feels nice to be flying again." He stopped and grabbed his head. "Ughh..." Everyone gathered around him to see what had happened. "Sephiroth's...he's at the City if the Ancients." "Well then..." Cid said jumping up and pointing to the bridge. "Let's go get him." "Right!" everyone said following Cid to the bridge. Sephiroth walked up to the big shell house and looked at it. "Ah yes..." he said smiling. "Good memories for me, bad memories for Cloud. And it's the place where he killed Jenova:Birth. You think the Ancients would hide the most destructive power in the universe, somewhere close to home." He started inside but stopped. "Damn...I didn't kill that Cetra boy. I guess I'll have to do a better job next time." He walked into the shell house and down the crystal stairway where the Forgotten City was. The group was almost to the city when Cloud felt something. "This is a trap," he said looking down on the planet. "He wants us to go to him. He...might even try to kill Case again." Katlyn looked at Case who looked back and nodded at Cloud. "I'll stay in the Highwind and you can take some others in to help you," Case said. Cloud nodded as the Highwind was coming upon Bone Village so the city wasn't far. The Highwind slowly came to a soft stop and the whole group gathered at the exit. "I'll take two others with me," Cloud said explain his battle tactics. "A second group will stay in Shell Village, and the last group will stay here with Case so Sephiroth doesn't try to kill him. I think we'll need you in the future." "Right," Case said getting worried. "I have a feeling that I'll be important too. Oh...here Cloud, you might wanna use this materia on Sephiroth." He handed Cloud the 'Light Materia' but once Case let go of it, it stopped glowing. "Hmm...it never did that to me before." "Here just keep it," Cloud said handing it back to him. "I think only you can use it. See...it's glowing again. Anyway each group will have PHS so if anything goes wrong we can contact each group, got that? Case, Katlyn, Heather, here's you three your PHS call any of us in case something happens." Everyone agreed and they split into three groups; Cloud took Heather and Cid, the second group consisted of Barret, Vincent, and Katlyn, and Cait Sith stayed with Case. "We'll go in first, then Barret, Vincent, and Katlyn will just stay outside the main city, and Cait Sith will stay here, at the Highwind, with Case." Then Cloud, Cid, and Heather ran off into the City of the Ancient not knowing what to expect. Then Barret, Vincent, and Katlyn followed after Cloud and the others were out of sight while Cait Sith and Case stayed at the Highwind. The first group approached the big shell house and stopped in front of it. "He's in inside...he's down in the Forgotten City.". The three walked inside the house and down the crystal staircase like Sephiroth did. They carefully walked into the Forgotten City and looked around for Sephiroth. "Glad you could come..." said Sephiroth as an image of him appeared in front of them. "What do you want!?" Cloud demanded. "What were you trying to tell me!?". "You'll see...", Sephiroth said as the image disappeared. They ran closer to the altar where Aeris was killed. Then another image of Sephiroth appeared in front of them again. "I have another surprise for you." They ran on closer to the altar as another image of Sephiroth appeared. "You are going to love me for this..." Cloud ignored it and ran on top of the alter with the others following him were they found Sephiroth. "Glad you all could make it here without becoming badly hurt. Oh by the way...how's that Cetra boy?" asked Sephiroth. "Leave Case outta this," Cloud said threatening him. "This is just between you and me." "Hardly, my quarrel is with the planet," Sephiroth replied. "But you're no longer needed anymore so that...means...you're... disposable. JENOVA! Wake up!" Sephiroth flew out of the city and then a piece of flesh fell down just like two years ago. It morphed into a body with six arms, eleven feet tall, a mouth in its chest, a tail with a spiked ball at the end, and finally an orb for every elemental attack ever used morphed out of thin air. "Ohhh....fuck," said Cid opening his mouth, letting his cigarette fall out. "This son-of-a-bitch is going ta be a tough shit ta beat." "Barret!, Vincent!, Katlyn!, anyone! Help us out goddamnit!" Cid yelled over static on the phone. "You heard him," said Barret taking command. "They need help so let's go help." Barret, Vincent, and Katlyn ran towards the big shell house to help while the new Jenova stood there in front of Cloud, Cid, and Heather then it actually started speaking. "I am Jenova:Embodied," it started to say. "This will be your last day on this planet. I will bring oblivion among this planet and destruction to all of you puny creatures." "I don't think so Jenova," Cloud said drawing his sword. "I've beaten you before and you're not going to stop me this time." Jenova raised one of it's arms and suddenly Cloud stumbled then fell to the floor. Barret, Vincent, and Katlyn ran into Sephiroth as he was flying out and started to fight him. Vincent took the first shot right at Sephiroth's left forearm which took him down to the ground. He got up, mumbling under his breath, and then morphed out his Masamune again and said, "Alright...who wants some now!?" He lunged towards Barret and hit him in the face then took Katlyn and brought his sword to her neck. "Now......If you try anything such as the smallest step to help her, she will die." "Damnit..." Barret said rubbing his jaw. Sephiroth slowly made his way around them and then threw Katlyn to the ground. "Heh heh heh..." he chuckled. "Now it's time to kill a Cetra..." "No!.." Katlyn yelled as Sephiroth flew towards the Highwind. Barret went down to the Forgotten City to help Cloud, Cid, and Heather while Vincent went with Katlyn after Sephiroth. Meanwhile down on the altar, Jenova:Embodied continued to hurt Cloud with just the movement of its arms. "Damnit...I can't take this anymore..." Cid said and cast 'Ultima' on it. The blast knocked Jenova down to the ground and then Cloud became conscious again and got up. "Alright..." Cloud said getting ready to attack. "Now it's time to get even..." He lunged toward Jenova with his sword leading and did '4x-cut' on it that sliced it pretty badly. After that blow Jenova got up steadily and started to speak, "I see that you puny creatures are not as simple to kill as I thought." Then after it said that, Jenova flew out of the city as Barret came down and just started shooting at it. "I can't see anything," Case said to Cait Sith looking to the city. "Trust me..." Cait Sith said. "He's coming." Just then Case saw a figure coming over the horizon, Sephiroth's figure. "Well...I'll be damned," Case said drawing his sword preparing to use his materia. Then Case cast 'Light 1' on Sephiroth while he coming towards him. The force of the magic attack blew Sephiroth back twenty yards. "Ouch..." said Cait Sith flinching a bit. "I think that blast hurt him." "Is he still coming?" "Hold on I'll look," Cait Sith said pulling out some binoculars, focusing them on Sephiroth. "Wait...he just got up and... boy is he pissed off. Anyway now he's coming in really fast." Sephiroth got up, grumbled under his breath, and sped towards the airship. Case saw him speed up then just stepped to the side, clenched his hand into a fist, and waited for the right moment to punch. Sephiroth, surprised, was going too fast to stop and ran straight into Case's fist. Case and Sephiroth both flew backwards from the blow and Cait Sith caught Case. Sephiroth very slowly got up, stumbled, and took off to the air. Just as Case and Cait Sith saw Sephiroth fly away they saw Jenova:Embodied fly off with him. Then Cloud, Cid, Heather, Barret, Vincent, and Katlyn ran out of the city as Case started running in. "Hey!..." yelled Cloud to Case as he passed him. "What the hell are you doing?!?" "I need to get something that I was told to get before we left," he yelled back, already in the city. "But WHAT!?!" yelled Cid, but by then Case was too far in the city for him to hear. They waited for Case at the airship when he finally came back, wet. "Ok," Case said running into the ship. "Let's get outta here." They all stared at him for a while then went into the Highwind as well. "Now what the hell was that crazy fucker up to?" Cid asked. The Highwind took off smoothly and Cid started steering it. Just then Jenova:Embodied flew by and knocked up against the ship. "DAMN!!" yelled Cid as everyone else went across the room. "That son-of-a-bitch is going to pay!" Then he pressed a small yellow button which caused a Mako-cannon to come out of a compartment on the outside of the ship. "Hey Case. Put your 'Light' something or other materia in that slot." Case took out the 'Light Materia' and put it in the slot on the gun. Then Cid pushed a green button just to the right of the yellow one and told everyone to stand back. At first there was low hum, then a cranking. "Watch that cannon right below the skyline." A high power light formed at the end, then Cid turned the turret to point it at Jenova, he pressed the green button again, and finally the gun fired. A huge beam of mako energy light shot straight at Jenova and knocked it right out of the sky. "Now," said Cloud. "We need to get the rest of the gang back."

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 8 The Awakening

"What do ya mean you're not coming with us?" asked Cloud. "We need more power on the team Red." "I'm sorry Cloud..." said Nanaki shaking his head. "But I need to stay here in Cosmo Canyon to protect it. Oh, and by the way, there is no need to call me by that name. Just remember that my real name is Nanaki." "Ok Nanaki," Cloud said not to disappoint him. "Look man..." Barret said. "Sephiroth's back and deadlier than ever. An' that's why we need ya." "Hmm..." Nanaki said calmly. "Sephiroth again...is he trying to destroy the planet?" "Ya see we don't know yet," Barret said. "I think he's not the one we have to worry about," Case said. "That new Jenova might be trying something but I don't know yet." "What do ya mean yet?" asked Barret. "Well," started Case. "You know that the Cetra have a special ability to communicate with the planet. Well, the planet is watching Jenova and Sephiroth carefully so that an incident like two years ago doesn't happen again." "Ya don't think..." said Cid. "That the planet might finish WEAPON early to kill Sephiroth and Jenova?" said Vincent finishing Cid's thought. "It IS possible... isn't it." "Wait wait wait just one moment...", Nanaki interrupted. "Is this young man a Cetra? I thought Aeris was the last one. Besides, the elders and books here don't speak much of the construction or completion of WEAPON." "Well..I am a Cetra," started Case but suddenly stopped. "But ...I...don't really...know who my mother is...or father." He stopped, sat down, and thought for a second while the others got settled around Cosmo Candle. "Who..." Case said conversing with the voices of past Cetra. "Who are my parents?...who? Why is it so hard for me to know?" He kept going on while others had individual conversations. "...I... remember..." After he spoke everyone grew silent. "I was born in Midgar. More specifically, the Shinra tower, in the science lab level." "You mean like where Prof. Hojo did all those experiments?" asked Cait Sith. "Yeah, I guess so..." said Case. "My mother was........Ifalna, and my father was some man......called...umm......" He stopped suddenly and sat there in shock. "Let's go on," Case said trying to change the subject. "But what abou-," Cloud started. "No," Case quickly stopped him. "I can't tell you. So let's go." Case got up and walked away to the bar. "I'll see what's wrong with him," said Vincent getting up as well. "I probably know how he feels." Then Vincent and walked to the bar after Case. "Anyway Nanaki..." Cloud said still trying to recruit him. "We really need your help. You were a big help the last time we were in trouble like this." "I know...I know..." Nanaki said. "But the canyon needs me a lot. It is my duty to protect this canyon." "Damnit man," Cid said. "Jus' think what you're grandpa would have you do." Nanaki sat and thought about what Cid said. "I'll have to think about what you said," Nanaki started getting up from the flame. "Why don't all of you have a good nights rest at the inn." "Yeah...sure..." said Cloud. Nanaki walked away towards his room while all the other waited till he left and still sat by the fire. "I wonder how Vincent's doing with Case," said Katlyn worried. "I know I wouldn't have any luck getting out whatever's haunting him inside." Meanwhile in the bar Vincent found Case and sat down next to him. "One please," Vincent told the bartender. "Why are you in here?" asked Case. "I know how you feel..." said Vincent. "Always feeling abandoned, guilty, or afraid." "Hey!" started Case standing up, making a scene. "You have no idea what I feel like right now. To know how it feels to know that Sephiroth is your father?! I don't think so." The whole bar was completely silent while Case turned around and saw Cloud standing in the doorway. "Case..." said Cloud. "I'm sorry...I didn't-" "Save it," said Case and then he walked into one of the inn rooms. "Vincent..." Cloud said. "What did you say to him?" "I just said 'I know how you feel'," Vincent said. "Let's go to sleep," Cloud said. "We need our rest." "Yeah..." Vincent said. Cloud called in everybody in to rest up but stopped Katlyn to talk with her. "Umm...Case needs some one to cheer him up. Why don't you give it a try." "Ok..." Katlyn said. "I'll try my best to make him better. But what happened?" "Case found out who his father was," Cloud said walking outside of town. She walked up to Case's room and knocked on the door. "Come in..." Case said. "Hi," Katlyn said. "Hon I thought you needed some cheering up." "It doesn't matter," Case said laying on the bed. "This whole fucked up planet isn't worth saving anyway if we're just going to damn ourselves to a life in hell." "Case! I'm ashamed! You don't really mean that do you?" asked Katlyn. "Well..." he said. "Katlyn we're just sucking up all of the planet's spiritual energy. People say that the new reactors will recycle the energy but it still takes a little. We pollute the land, sky, and sea so why try and save it all if we just trash it again." "Case...this isn't like you..." replied Katlyn. "What happened to the Case I knew, and loved? There'll always be good people trying to do good things, and there are more of them then bad people." "Katlyn..." said Case. "What would you feel like if you knew you were just an experiment?" She said nothing but just stood there in shock. "Exactly. I was born to help the old President Shinra find the Promise Land, but when a riot happened in the building I found a drain chute and left. This was when I was four years old, but before that, right after I was born, my mother and sister left the building. Later she was hurt and got on a train. My sister was with her when she died and some lady that was at the station took my sister, Aeris, and cared for her. It was my mother's last wish. She didn't even think about me." "I'm...I'm sorry Case," Katlyn said. "I didn't know about that, but, why didn't you tell me while we were in Midgar?" "Because..." he replied. "I...I thought you'd become scared of me, plus...I didn't know this much back then." Their conversation was interrupted when the ground started shaking violently. "What the hell is goin' on?" Barret yelled from the other room. Just then Case and Katlyn came running out of the inn as the ground's shaking let up a bit. "The worst possible scenario we could dream of is happening," said Case. "And what is that?" asked Cloud. Vincent walked out of the inn and by then the ground's shaking was almost gone. "What was that all about?" asked Vincent. "It's......WEAPON," said Case looking towards the north. "And it's not happy about any of this." "What is going on?" asked Nanaki coming out of his room. "Why did the ground start to shake?" "It's WEAPON," Cloud said running past him. "Let's check this out through that telescope in Bugenhagen's house." The nine of them ran up all the stairs to Bugenhagen's right away. Cloud looked through the telescope and then quickly stopped. "Uh...where should I look at?" "I don't know," Cid said. "Try north," Case said. Cloud did and then stood there with his head down. "Not again..." he muttered. "Is it...WEAPON?" Heather asked. "Yeah..." Cloud said looking back through the telescope. "Four of 'em." He looked though again to watch them fly off and saw all their different colors. "Hmmm...orange, green, mostly white, and black-gray." "Topaz, Jade, Opal, and Dark WEAPON," Case suddenly said. "I asked the planet a while back when the conversation came up. "Oh great," said Cait Sith. "What if one of them tries to attack Midgar again?" "I don't know about that," said Case. "I have no clue as to what WEAPON wants to do." "Well Nanaki," said Cloud looking at him. "Are you going to come with us or let WEAPON and Sephiroth tear up the planet?" Nanaki sat and thought for a while then came up with his answer. "...Yes..." he finally said getting up. "I will join you once again." "Great," Cloud said. "Now let's get to the airship." "Why now?" asked Cid. "We're going to get Tifa," Cloud said and they all ran out to the airship.

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 9 WEAPON!

Meanwhile in Kalm, at Tifa's bar, the aftershock of WEAPON's awakening just finished. "What the hell was that all about?" said a man at the counter. "What do I look like?" replied another man. "A Shinra rocket scientist?" Tifa got up after being knocked to the ground by the shaking and wondered herself what that was all about. "Yo! barlady..." yelled a drunken man. "Get me your...uh get me some...aoerwambvcx, I mean SCOTCH! get me your best scotch." "I'm sorry sir," said Tifa cleaning a glass. "I have a limit on the number of drinks a customer can have." "What the hell!?" the man replied drunk as hell. "When I say get me a drink, that means get me a drink." He started to pull a gun on Tifa when all of a sudden his chair came out from under him and he fell to the floor. "Don't ya know it rude to pull a gun on a lady," said a man in the shadows. Tifa couldn't tell who it was or could be, because this man had a red glow from his left eye. "T-Thank you sir," Tifa said when he stepped out into the light. "Sephiroth?!?!" "Why, you got it in one try, here's your prize," he said sarcastically putting his sword on the counter. Tifa couldn't help but look at his deformed biomechanical face and body. "Um...did you kill him?" Tifa asked looking at the man on the floor. "Because it makes me look bad if a customer of mine got killed in my bar." "Why of course not Tifa," Sephiroth said stepping over the man. "I only knocked him out." "Anyway, what the hell are you doing back?!" Tifa said practically yelling. "I even saw Cloud kill you, but you're even uglier than I remember." "Now now my dear," Sephiroth said calmly and waving his finger. "All I know is that I was scientifically brought back to life and mechanically altered. But I had to steal some Jenova cells from Cloud, and now because of me...WEAPON has come back for me and my partner in crime, Jenova:Embodied." "You mean that shaking was..." Tifa asked but got interrupted. "Yep," said Sephiroth. "It was WEAPON." Racing across the sky, the Highwind flew quicker to get to Kalm. "Damn that WEAPON," muttered Cid looking at Dark WEAPON floating in the sky. "Acting like it owns the sky." "Just shutup Cid," said Cloud. "We need to get to Kalm as quick as possible." Just then Dark WEAPON flew overhead of the Highwind and almost brought it down. Everyone inside flew across the room and the airship started to go down. "That goddamn-mother-fucking-son-of-a-bitch is goin' ta pay, big time," Cid yelled violently. Then he got the ship under control when they felt another jerk on the ship. "What the fuck is it this time?" "Silly mortals!" the voice boomed. "You think you can hurt me and live to see the next day?" "Who is it?" asked Cloud. "Um..." said Katlyn. "It's Jenova:Embodied." "I will destroy you," Jenova kept saying. "And I will destroy your ship as well. You will never see the sun set." Just then Jenova raced towards the ship and slammed right into it. Everyone inside lost their balance and fell down. "That does it," said Cloud getting up. "I'm going up there to destroy this thing so I will never face it again." "Wait!" said Case running to Cloud. "I'm going to. I will be strong and face this thing with you." "Me too," chimed in Heather. "I don't want to lose a part of my team." "Thank you," started Cloud. "But I-" "But you nothing," said Heather "We're going too." "Alright," said Cloud. "Cid, if you can, try and help us kill this thing." Cid nodded and the three walked out of the bridge towards the deck. "It's comin' again!" shouted Barret. "Take this you bitch," Cid said pressing the fire button for the Materia-ray. The barrel glowed for a while then shot out this clear beam of energy that hit Jenova head on. Then Jenova started moving slower than before. "What the hell happened to it?" asked Vincent. Cid growled under his breath and walked over to the materia slot for the gun then took out the materia. "Who's 'Time Materia' is this!?" he asked. "Uh..." said Katlyn. "It's mine, I thought I'd lost it for a moment." "Well..." Cid said shoving it to her. "Don't lose it again." After giving Katlyn her materia he went back and put in his own materia. "This 'Ultima Materia' will pack a better punch." Cloud, Heather, and Case got up to the deck and saw Jenova face to face. "Alright Jenova," Cloud said with his sword out. "You'll never control me again." Cloud summoned NeoBahamut that burnt Jenova and destroyed the ice elemental orb Jenova had. Then Jenova used it's water elemental orb on Cloud and a big wave of water hit Cloud, pushing him against the railing. Then to make matters worse Jenova raised one of it's arms and then Cloud grabbed his head, stumbled, and fell to the deck. "You bitch," Case said as Heather knelt down to help Cloud. "You killed thousands of Cetra, caused them all to go mad and now you think you can just hurt my friends and get any with it?......I don't think so." Then with all of his rage, Case did his limit break called 'Elemental Fury'. He took out four daggers and tossed them out above Jenova. They stopped in the air in a diamond formation above Jenova. Then Case threw his sword out in the air, which stopped right on top of Jenova. Then he did a chant that lasted about a minute when his weapons started to react. First off, one of the daggers shot out a fiery red beam, then the next one shot out an icy blue beam, then after that the next dagger shot out an earthy green beam, and the final dagger shot out an electric yellow beam. Finally his short sword gathered up energy until the energy was blinding and then it shot out a pearl white holy beam right on top of Jenova. The blast of it was blinding and fried Jenova to some extent. After it cleared the weapons that were over Jenova went back to Case, then Jenova spoke. "I am still afloat," it said. "Even though your attack was wounding, it still had no effect in killing me." Just then a turret on the ship turned towards Jenova and started to heat up when a voice started talking over a microphone. "Alright bitch," Cid said over the mike. "Let's see if this will kill you." Cid finished talking and pushed the fire button for the Materia-ray with the 'Ultima Materia' in it. The turret hummed louder and louder until it fired. The sound of the fire was deafening as a huge beam of pale green light shot out at Jenova. It shot out straight through Jenova as if it were made of paper and disintegrated it into thin air. Cloud, getting up, said weakly, "Let's get to Kalm." Heather and Case got Cloud to his feet and walked him in to the bridge. Meanwhile at "Tifa's Haven" in Kalm, Sephiroth talked on with Tifa. "So you see," Sephiroth said drinking a glass of whiskey. "I was the victim in all of this." "You say you had no emotions when you were without the Jenova cells?" said Tifa mixing a drink. "That's strange, but anyway why are you telling me all of this?" "Hey!" Sephiroth exclaimed finishing his drink. "It's a bar. Aren't you supposed to tell your life story or not? But anywa-" He stopped suddenly and stood up. "DAMNIT!" he said slamming his fist down on the counter. Tifa, alarmed, didn't want to ask him what the problem was, so she let him go on talking. "I have to go." He got up and took his Masamune off of the counter "Here's some gil. I trust it should pay for the drinks." He threw a little pouch filled with gil onto the counter and walk out of the bar. Tifa didn't say a thing to any other customers, but instead just took the gil and put it in the cash register. Just outside the bar Sephiroth looked up at the sky and saw the Highwind coming, fast. He had felt that Jenova:Embodied had been killed and anticipated that Cloud and the others would be here soon to get Tifa back. Sephiroth ran just outside the town to meet with the Highwind. When it finally landed Cid got out and climbed down the ladder. "Oh..why hello Cid." Cid, shocked, hesitated but then finally said, "What the fuck are you doing here!?" "Ahh, poor Cid," said Sephiroth folding his arms. "Always so violent." "Well," Cid said clenching his fists. "I have a good reason to be violent today with you and your dumbass little buddy Jenova flyin' around." "Such cruel language," Sephiroth replied. "How's Cloud? Hmm..? Dead I hope." Just then Cloud slid down the ladder and said to Sephiroth, "No, I decided I liked living and would like to keep doing so." Sephiroth started to applaud and told Cloud, "What impeccable timing. But I must take my leave. Because you see with WEAPON to reek havoc or chaos upon society, I can get the next part of my plan into effect. To get the 'Unknown Materia'." With that he flew off laughing but finally said, "Hope you have fun fighting WEAPON because it's coming this way!" He pointed at WEAPON as he flew off towards the northwest. Cid radioed back up to the Highwind, "Well, which one is it?" "It's Topaz WEAPON," Vincent answered over the intercom. "And it looks unhappy." "Well Cloud," said Cid. "Who's going to stop this thing." Cloud was about to talk when Tifa came running out of Kalm. "I'll help you," she said. "Tifa," Cloud said. "But-" "Save it. Remember, I don't take 'No' for an answer," she replied putting on her glove. "I'm going to help then we can talk later." "I'll help too," Cid said pulling out his spear. "It'll be like ol' times. Now hurry up you bastard WEAPON, it's time to kick your ass." Then the three ran out to meet it ready for battle then waited for it to reach shore. Topaz WEAPON took it's time reaching the shore, but from looking at it was heavily artillerated with guns, rocket launchers, and lasers. "Aw damn," Cid said looking at the orange giant. "This is goin' ta be one tough bitch." "For once you got something right," said Cloud casually waiting. "Just be quiet you two," said Tifa. "This thing could try something any second." Just then WEAPON turned towards Midgar and armed itself. "Cait Sith!" Cloud yelled into the PHS. "Do you have defenses in Midgar?" "What?" asked Cait Sith. "Why?" "Because," Cloud said. "WEAPON's about to attack Midgar!" In Midgar at the Shinra tower Reeve stood looking out the window at WEAPON arming itself then pushed some sort of button. Missile turrets raised out of parts of the ground and Mako cannons charged up to full power. Reeve pushed another button next to it and watched as a large compartment opened up and the Brother Ray raised up into view. It reached full extension and aimed at Topaz WEAPON. Then a man came up behind Reeve and said, "Sir, do you want us to fire?" "Hold on Cyrus," Reeve said raising his hand. "Let's let Cloud and the others see if they can't defend us while the Brother Ray charges up." "But are you sure?" Cyrus asked. "Yes, I'm sure," Reeve told him. "Hey Cloud," Cait Sith said over the PHS. "Do you think you three can hold WEAPON off for a while?" "Yeah," said Cloud. "We can get that thing preoccupied." The three pulled back from the shore so they'd have a chance to fight it on dry land. Topaz looked at the three running back and took it's attention off of Midgar to walk ashore and fight. Topaz WEAPON had the first strike on the group and it shot out a whole turret of missiles that spread out to hit Cloud, Tifa, and Cid. Tifa ran up, dodging all the missiles, and did her limit break. Each attack hit perfectly but not hurting it much. Then Cid did his limit break and called the Highwind to fly overhead and unleash an array of bombs onto WEAPON. All the blasts took a while but when they were finally done Cloud did 'Knights of the Round', while Topaz was still confused, to try and finish it off. The three watched as WEAPON went down into oblivion, then finally Tifa said, "Do you think it'll come back alive?" "I wish I knew," Cloud replied. They waited about one more minute when Topaz WEAPON appeared out of thin air. It turned and started to walk away from the small group. Inside the Shinra tower, Reeve stood there looking out the window, and he saw once more WEAPON turn to face Midgar ready to fire. "Fire all weapons," Reeve told Cyrus. "But save the Brother Ray for last." Cyrus agreed then turned to tell Roland, chief of security, to fire all weapons except the Brother Ray. The blast from all the turrets and cannons made the whole city shake. The streams of smoke left by the missiles trailed for miles, and the shots from the Mako cannons went in a straight line. Then the Brother Ray hummed until it got deafening, energy gathered at the tip of the barrel, and then finally, a huge blast of Mako energy shot out and ripped across the sky. Topaz WEAPON stood there about to fire when the light artillery hit it. With all the missiles and Mako cannon bursts Topaz WEAPON was stunned when the shot from the Brother Ray was in site. Topaz WEAPON got up and shot one missile towards Midgar before the blast from Brother Ray tore WEAPON open. Topaz WEAPON went flying back into the sea when the shot from Brother Ray just dissipated. "Well," said Cloud turning around to face Cid and Tifa. "That takes care of that. Good job Reeve." "Anytime you need the help," Cait Sith said. "Tifa," said Cloud. "Thanks for your help." "Eh.." Tifa started. "It was my turn to save you." "So what now?" asked Cid sitting on the ground. "We go find that 'Unknown Materia' Sephiroth was talking about," Cloud replied finally realizing that the 'Unknown Materia' was what Sephiroth had been searching for all along. Then the three walked back to the airship to plan for tomorrow. "There is such a thing as the 'Unknown Materia'," said Prof. Edin standing over a brownish looking materia. "Who knows what powers this one materia has. It might even be able to bring about the destruction of a planet just like the 'Black Materia'."

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 10 The Unknown Materia

Prof. Edin looked over the materia carefully, checking out the surface and condition of the materia. "Hmm..." he mumbled looking over it again. "This isn't any ordinary materia. It has a strange aura and sense to it." He continued to take notes and examine the materia when he didn't know that Sephiroth was right behind him. "Boo..." Sephiroth said startling Edin. "Aren't you scared to see me?" "What the hell are you?" Edin started but stopped. "So I take it that you got some Jenova cells?" "Why yes," Sephiroth said. "And what is the good doctor doing on a desolate island like this?" "As you can see I'm doing research on this so to say 'Unknown Materia'," Edin said turning back to the materia. "But to my calculations this materia is no ordinary materia. It's a huge materia, and another thing...it didn't originate on this planet." "You mean it's...alien?" Sephiroth asked looking at the materia. "Yes," Edin replied covering the materia. "But what did you intend on doing with it?" "Why, use it to my benefit of course," Sephiroth said picking it up. "To conquer this planet and other planets as well, but first, tell me more about what this materia can do." Sephiroth walked up to Edin and backed him up to one of the cave walls. "How are we going to find this...'Unknown Materia'," asked Vincent. "We need to ask...Yuffie," Cloud said looking out the window. "What?!" yelled Barret. "Ya mean we're goin' back ta that damn materia thief for help!?!" "We have no choice," Cloud continued. "That 'Unknown Materia' Sephiroth talked about is I was warned not to let him get. I've heard legends of a destruction materia that was even more powerful than the 'Black materia' itself, but......that was just a myth." "Yes," said Nanaki looking up. "I've heard the story of it too. Grandpa told me of it a day or two after Meteor. It had enough power to destroy worlds." "But," interrupted Barret. "How'd it get here?" "I was about to say," continued Nanaki. "It was said that a long time ago a supreme being created this planet and gave it spirit energy. Then the first creatures form on this planet, Cetra. They flourished, created civilizations, and a great city to channel their energy. Then the Crisis from the Sky came to spread its terror upon the Cetra. When this being, Jenova, came down it didn't come alone but with a powerful weapon. This caused the planet to produce WEAPON, but the creature's weapon got lost when it crashed onto this planet. When it did, four separate pieces flew off, or out, of the weapon and they were scattered upon this planet. Some people confined these pieces so that the crisis from the sky could not be able to use its weapon." There was a long pause as everyone waited to hear what Nanaki had to say next. "Um..that's all I know." "Well then," said Cloud. "Let's go to Wutai." The Highwind flew off to the west from Kalm to see Yuffie at Wutai. "So you see," Edin told Sephiroth showing him the slots on the materia. "This materia is a housing unit for four of the most powerful materia on this planet." Sephiroth stood there staring at the glowing materia then knelt down and touched it. It emitted a fierce violent glow and then Sephiroth said, "So you're saying it's like a huge materia for destruction materia." "Exactly.," Edin said. "When all four of the separate materia are put into their slots, I think, this "huge materia" becomes active." Then Sephiroth grabbed Edin and threw him up against the wall holding him in the air. "Tell me where they are," Sephiroth demanded. "Well Cloud," Yuffie said walking out of the tower. "I've heard of it and I think it's on some island somewhere, but I don't know where." "Well we need to know," said Cloud. "You see, Sephiroth is back and is looking for that materia. He might even be planning to destroy the planet again." "What?!!!?!" Yuffie yelled. She sat down and thought about the situation at hand. "Well..." Nanaki said. "Are you coming with us, telling us where the materia is, or do we have to find out ourselves?" "Hold on!" she snapped back. "I'm thinking......ok, I'll go with you under one condition." "Fine, what?" Cloud was afraid to ask. "Whatever materia I find, it's mine!" she said looking at Cloud. "Ok," Cloud said not really caring about materia. "What 'bout ya stealin' our materia last time," said Barret. "Don't worry old man," said Yuffie point at Barret. "I have enough materia from the ones you chumps gave me after we killed the FIRST Sephiroth so don't worry about me stealin' your measly materia." "Good," said Barret. "I just wanted to make sure that you were on the level. Wait! Old?! Measly materia?! Why I outta..." "Don't let it get to ya," Cloud said stopping Barret. "Now let's go find that materia before the Shinra scientists or Sephiroth do." "Hey!" complained Cait Sith. "All of the Shinra scientists are accounted for except...shit." Just then Reeve was reminded of Prof. Edin and what he did. "Hold on Cloud. I have some "business" to attend to, I'll be right back." Cait Sith shut off and started to go limp. "Hey Barret," Cloud said. "Get that toy and take it to the airship, ok?" "...Fine," "Good, now let's go," Cloud said as all the others walked to the airship. "Yes?" said Reeve. "Is this Reno? Good. Have you kept track of Edin?" "Well sir..." Reno started to explain. "We kept track of him while he was on the mainland, but then he took a private ship and sailed off to the northwest." "Hmm..." Reeve muttered pacing in his office. "The northwest... that bastard. Good job Reno, you'll get some extra pay for this." "Thank you sir," Reno said and hung up. Back at the Highwind everyone was gathered in the conference room. "Now, I know that the materia was on an island like 'Knights of the Round' was," Yuffie said thinking about the legends. "And I remember it's somewhere in an ocean but I don't know which one." Reeve got Cait Sith back online and told Cloud what he had just found out. "It's on a hidden island in the northwest," Cait Sith said. "Thanks Cait," Cloud said as they walked out of the room, heading towards the bridge. "Cid! Point us to the northwest and keep your eyes pealed for a hidden island with some type of boat on the shore. We can't let Sephiroth get his hands on this materia." The Highwind rushed off towards the northwest with the crew not knowing what awaited them. "What the hell do I need to activate it?!" Sephiroth yelled at Edin. "Well, I know you need the 'Black' and 'Holy Materia'," Edin said. "But the other two I have no idea what they do or where they could be." "Hmm..." started Sephiroth. "This should prove to be difficult to do. The last time the 'Black Materia' was used "I" was in the Northern Crater, and the 'Holy Materia' was being worn by that Cetra girl...um Aeris it was. Damn...that Cetra boy must've gotten it, and she probably told him to. Excuse me "Doctor", but I'm on a mission, a mission to conquer the planet and all other planets." "How could I've created a "man" with such hatred, such... psychoticness," Edin said. Sephiroth just looked at him with the most "human" face he could ever pull off. Then Sephiroth was about to grab the 'Unknown Materia' when he heard engines overhead. "Ha! Cloud and the others are here to stop you." "Not without another fight," Sephiroth replied grabbing the 'Unknown Materia' and ran out of the cave. Edin followed after him and quickly got into his boat without anyone seeing him. The Highwind landed close to the mouth of the cave so Sephiroth was blocked from escaping. Cloud and the others, except Cid, got out of the Highwind. "It's over Sephiroth," Cloud boldly said. "We found out your little plan to conquer all the planets, and it's going to stop here." "How noble," Sephiroth said. "Just like a knight of the round, so full of life, hope, and dreams. Well, with this piece of materia all of that will be crushed into dust and be blown away in the wind with all the other meaningless stuff that gets caught in it's circulating draft. Now if you'll excuse me I have pieces to find, plus I don't feel like killing you......yet." He started to walk off but then Case walked forward and started to speak. "You just don't want to face all of us," Case said. "You're helpless without your Jenova to aid you and make your escape." "On the contrary," Sephiroth said turning around. "I don't NEED the help of Jenova to make my escape, and you're starting to annoy me. That's one thing you don't ever want to do, that and piss me off." Sephiroth looked at Case with the evilest look in his human eye. Case started to quiver but then gained control of his body. "This'll be just you and me. If any of them try to help you I will call on three different Jenovas to take care of them, each more powerful than the previous. Is it a deal?" "Yeah," Case replied shaking a bit. "I'll do it." "Case..no." Cloud said grabbing his arm. "You might be our only hope to stop him, we need you." "It's ok Cloud.," Case told him. "Trust me." Case drew out his sword and readied his daggers while Sephiroth waited for him to strike first. Case turned around and cast 'Light 1' on Sephiroth which knocked him down. Sephiroth responded with morphing his right hand into a laser and shot at Case. Case reflected the beams with his sword but got hit by some that burnt his arm bad. Then he countered by throwing three shock daggers at Sephiroth. Sephiroth morphed his hand into a shield and block the daggers then rushed Case. Sephiroth swiped at his feet and tripped Case then held his sword at Case's chest. "It is finally over," Sephiroth said about to thrust the Masamune into Case. Then the ground started to shake a bit and Sephiroth lost concentration. Suddenly a shot was heard and Sephiroth's eyepiece was broken. Smoke streamed out of Vincent's gun as he lowered it. "I don't care if you summon a million Jenovas," Vincent said staring a Sephiroth's one good eye. "I just won't let you kill our only hope." "That does it. You're all DEAD!", Sephiroth said furiously when the ground started shaking again but more violently. Sephiroth knew what it was and grabbed the materia then took off. "There's only one thing that could be doing this much shaking," Vincent said. "Yeah," Cloud replied helping Case up. "It's gotta be WEAPON." Then Opal WEAPON boldly rose out of the ocean and came towards the island at ramming speed. "Get in the airship!!!" Everyone started running for the Highwind as Case and Cloud steadily walked. WEAPON was getting closer and closer by the moment. Cloud helped him up to the ladder as the shaking got more and more violent and WEAPON kept getting closer. They ran into the Highwind as it started to warm up. "Let's go Cid!! WEAPON's coming!!" "Alright," Cid said starting to ascend. "We're goin' up." The Highwind rose slowly as WEAPON ran right through the island, and when it went back down again. The island was nowhere to be seen. "So WEAPON was trying to get rid of the materia before anyone could get their hands on it," Tifa said. "Sounds logical to me," Nanaki said. "Keeping the planet safe from even ourselves." "Well now the question remains where are those missing pieces," Vincent said. "That's what we need to find out," Cloud said sitting down in a chair. "Plus we need to find out before Sephiroth does." The Highwind turned around and headed back towards the mainland while Cloud just sat and thought where the other two pieces could be.
