"Ha,haha...Is that what you believe you will succeed in doing? I'm afraid it will not be so easy, however, if you bring fourth the destruction of this entire planet, as you so failed once, you -might- have a chance of getting your wish. " What did that mean, exactly? It was almost worrisome. "Did you think, during the time of my...prolonged absence, I was doing nothing to ensure I will always be here? Do you believe I will fail? You cannot destroy me. Cloud cannot destroy me. No one will win this, though if you still feel your destiny is to kill me, feel free to use that blade to yourself. I have enough of you puppets to slowly destroy every living creature within this world. Everything and everyone will fall. "
It was then that Jenova, and Valeria would perform their most popular trick. Vanishing and hiding from a threat, or so it looked like. Little did he know, they were stalking him, toying with him as they waited for the perfect moment to strike him together. But today was the day of surprises, wasn't it? Futaba's warning came as a shock for the both of them, how was she able to detect them when even Sephiroth couldn't?!
The sound of steel clashing as the impact of Valeria's blade struck against the masamune sounded, this attack would also completely give away her and Jenvoa's presence, as they would no longer be invisible.
But something would cloud over Sephiroth suddenly, as an explosion of darkness surrounded his body. The exact same explosion Sephriea had endured a short time ago, and the same magic that clawed at her mind, and forced her to fall into place at the feet of Jenova. But it wasn't just one, not this time around. Several more would explode, intensifying the affects to impossible levels. He might of been able to fight one attempt off, but several at the same time?
Valeria on the other hand, vanished once more, only this time would she appear directly atop the summoned sphere, possibly the strangest things she would ever see. She knew that girl was inside however, and that little attempt to 'save' Sephiroth was going to cost her..her life if she could have the pleasure of managing to take it! "Do you think you are safe in there?!" One of her blades appeared in her grasp, while the others would start to surround Prometheus, at that moment Valeria would stab the massive blade completely through it's mechanical body. The scream coming from inside was enough to tell that she in fact was inside this weird object. "Did I miss you? Have another. " Another blade flew from the other side, and another to the bottom, the last one positioning itself to stab through another side!

Black Heart"I'll show you the TRUE power of Lastation's CPU!" It sure was a party of silver-haired black-wearing superpowered beings here, wasn't it? And it was only natural that another would be added to the fray. One that had nothing to do with Jenova despite the apparently similar fashion. Speeding through the air at incredible speed, Black Heart would make her appearance known through action rather than words. "Haaaaa!" Putting all of her speed and strength into her strike, she slammed the flat of her blade into Valeria, intending to send her rocketing off the strange floating orb that seemed to have some civilian(?) inside. Moving with her momentum after the strike, a seal appeared behind her, which she used to jet off of and speed like a bullet straight through the air, so that she could meet Valeria before she flew too far. "Hya!" The speed made it seem almost like teleportation, as Black Heart was suddenly in the way of Valeria's trajectory, and delivered a hard overhead swing with her blade to send the girl spiraling at incredibly dangerous speeds directly into the ground below. But Noire wasn't the type to let an enemy have a moment to recover, and as a result, she almost immediately dropped down towards her. "Volcano Dive!" She shouted as she brought her blade to crash down into the girl and, if everything worked out, her newfound crater. Immediately upon impact, plumes of fire would shoot out of her blade, centered directly on the point of impact--ideally, Valeria's midsection--sending scorching flames all over her body.
It seemed Black Heart here wasn't in any mood to play around.But of course, she wasn't the only one. Delivering a powerful swipe of his massive katana, Sephiroth dispelled all of the dark energy around him, his eyes not leaving his so-called "mother." "Do you think your tricks will work on me?" He had been her little pawn far too long for such meager tactics to be too effective. He reared his right arm back, a ball of intense heat gathering atop it, as he hurled a ball of flame with the intensity of Fire3 at her. Immediately stepping forward, he delivered a quick, precise slice to her midsection, intending to strike her while she attempted to defend from the spell. Had that connected, he would grip the Masamune with both hands, plunging it directly towards her chest in an attempt to stab her directly where her heart would be. Granted, he was aware this alone very likely wouldn't kill her, but slowing her down first was important to finish the job as quickly as possible. (( OOC: ))

  "You're so stupid...." Sephriea's voice would suddenly be heard within the mix of chaos. "So stupid..!" Well, hey. Jenova's control wasn't as strong as she might of liked it. Most people didn't escape th hold she had on her mind, but something sure seemed to snap her mind back to reality. "You talk so easy about killing yourself. " Whatever could it be that broke Jenova's mind game? Strange considering there was no relationship of lovingness or a family between herself and Sephiroth. So how would his words be what freed her from Jenova's control?
She could go on about how pissed off she was, but now wasn't the time, not that she'd have any time after this battle against Jenova came to an end, he would only leave, or try to kill her next. Ether way, she wouldn't get much conversation out of him.
And as expected, Jenova's little trickery didn't quite work on him as planned, quite the embarrassing moment for Sephriea, being unable to stop it from controlling her own mind,she wasn't quite as experienced in building up that resistance. Though she wasn't entirely that weak ether, if she could be broken from its hold so easily. By the time Sephiroth hurled the ball of flame at Jenova, Sephriea noticed something familiar in her movements, a faint, just barely detectable shimmer, and just like that, Jenova played hide n Seek once again. But this time, the moment she reappeared....A blade that wasn't Masamune, pierced through her back, which ripped upward in attempt to cut her clean in half. "If you can put aside your hate for me for just this time, then do it and take care of the REAL threat by us working together, no matter how much it pains you. If you want to rid the world of her, then start by working together. " She twisted the blade, it was no thin, long blade like Masamune, it was wide, and due to this it was sort of like a lock stuck in Jenova's back, her attempts to teleport away would be futile with the magic pulsating from the blade itself. "If dying is so peaceful to you, then let's do everything together...Let's destroy Jenova, and ...everyone connected to her. Then, in the end, you can kill me, and end everything from there...Maybe THEN in the next life, you will be happy to be my father, and we would be close....In this next life, I can have everything I ever wanted. " This must of been some kind of torture for Jenova to hear, while impaled by the massive sword. But it was probably even more of a joke to Sephiroth, of course Sephriea didn't expect much from him, maybe he would end the two of them. It was a good chance for him, with Sephriea holding Jenova, and Jenova vulnerable to Masamune, nether of them could escape it if he tried..
Evil Luck, it clearly wasn't on ether her side or her 'mothers'. Valeria only slightly saw something move from the corner of her eye, and in that time, well, it was much to late to put up any form of a guard or retreat. This silver haired puppet went flying like a baseball through the air by the impact of the flat of Black Hearts blade. Even then, when she tried to get some senses to her, the speed of which this girl could move was incredible, and far to quick for even her to react to in time. Again, she was struck, but this time barreling down from a hight and speed that would kill near anyone, anyone but....a Jenova's puppet. That didn't mean she was out of the woods however, or able to move. She was now struck with a spinning sensation she would have to recover from if she hoped to do anything at all against her! ......Valeria could do no such thing, and the next set of pain would course through her body, this time in the form of flames that would scorch her body and cause a terrible amount of pain with it.
And all she could do now, was only think to survive, to escape!
The damage sustained, was enough to knock Prometheus's functioning correctly, and it's form would soon begin to fade suddenly. What did that mean for Futaba? ....she would be ejected from the flying sphere below, and end up falling....
Prometheus was a little over the cliff at the time of the attack, and never could move to safety for Futaba's sake. So she was in for a new scare of her life, falling to her death!
Until a certain pink-haired witch, came to her rescue. Rather, it was more of a struggling rescue, to stay on the magical flying broom, while now holding the weight of a teenage girl. This couldn't get any worse! She couldn't cast magic while holding onto her, ether, so any help with the wind wasn't going to be aiding her this time. "Gah! How are you this heavy! You look smaller then me!!" Autumn was again faced with another dilemma, she couldn't control magic at this point, and she couldn't seem to concentrate the magic that moved the flying broom all to well. While she tried to move it upward, she would lose it, and they would fall again until she stopped..again. The process would repeat itself a few times over, and Autumn was REALLY starting to look silly! On the good side of things, they were getting closer to the ground, so the threat of a deathly fall would be over, but then..being down here wouldn't do much good ether! How were they to help anyone up there?!

Black Heart"I'll show you the TRUE power of Lastation's CPU!""Hmph!" Black Heart stood over her fallen adversary, her head raised in a show of apparent superiority. Her expression was serious, but there was the hint of a confident smirk. "You and your friends will have to learn quickly the power of a goddess! Now- ?!" Her eyes darted to the side, and she raised her blade quickly, her instincts giving her enough time to block a strike that sent her several feet away."...Quick." The unknown girl noted. "Impressive." Her head turned towards Valeria. "You have both failed. We're returning." She waved her arm over Valeria, a light enveloping her body and causing her to teleport away--assumedly back to the crater or the other realm."Stop!" Black Heart dash-glided over the air, swinging her blade at the new figure, but right before it could connect, she was gone. "Tch, damn!" She paused a moment, before her head turned back towards where she had seen the others on her way here. She grunted, taking off like a bullet into the air once again.Sephriea would feel a hand on her shoulder, and in the next moment, a pulse blasted out around her, sending her several feet backwards. "Oops." The unknown figure turned, casting her gaze towards Jenova. "We're returning." She said, waving her arm and then intending to send Jenova back to wherever Valeria had been sent. Lifting her head afterwards, her head turned towards Sephiroth. "...So, you're Sephiroth.""I am the man who will kill you. That is all you need to know.""...We'll see about-" She quickly raised her long blade, and it came into collision with Black Heart's, causing her to skid back several feet from the force of the impact, due to how fast Black Heart had been flying. "...Faster than I realized.""Don't test me!""...A goddess, you said? Interesting... We'll meet again..." And suddenly, she was gone."Stop!" But of course, by the time she got that out, she was gone once again. "Agh! Couldn't any of you have lifted a single finger to help?!" She sighed. "Forget it..." She paused a moment. "...Wait, weren't there more of you a second ago?"Seeming to completely disregard the new so-called goddess and the two who seemed to need help, Sephiroth walked past everyone else in the area, over to Sephriea, where she may have been on the ground from the attack. Staring down at her a moment, he raised his right arm, holding it out to her. "One day, I will kill you. However, you can be useful to me until then. If you wish to assist me, I will allow you. We can rid this world of Jenova together, if that is what you wish." it seemed he had heard her words, and considered them. He didn't doubt his ability to do this on his own, but having her as assistance would make the process easier. He was intelligent enough to recognize that."What the hell?! Don't ignore me!" Black Heart may not have been as into the "touching" father-daughter moment.(( OOC: ))

Talk about the moment killer! Sephriea was so caught up in the moment with her father, that her concentration on the others was completely severed, and her usually very observant mind didn't quite catch the unknown figure of a woman next to her until it was already to late. Late as in, she already went flying back several feet. "...?!!? " It would take a moment to shake off the daze, that was for certain. Also certain was who would end up on her hit list first before Jenova.
As she slowly got herself to sit up, the daze of her stunning surprise attack was starting to wear off, but now, she was left to think maybe she got hit harder then she thought, and just as she said moments ago, in that next life, she and her unloving father would finally have something of a bond. A real father-daughter relationship! .....Yeah, she DID get hit pretty hard. Though, he was walking toward her, and not in a threatening manor. Before she knew it, she was looking at an offered hand. More and more, it was looking like that next life had come true! "...? " ....What a way to respond, she was...so...completely shocked and confused, words didn't want to work properly, she couldn't speak! What was happening here??
It was a silly amount of time before she could manage to really speak." ...You..mean that? " It was now apparent that she was in fact alive, he confirmed that by letting her know her time would come to an end by his hand, but at a later time! As if those were the greatest words to her hears. "We can really work together? " It seemed by her many reactions, she didn't except him to actually agree to her idea at all. Honestly, she didn't know what he would do, she did lean on the thought that he would of just killed her there, but instead...She got her wish. It didn't have one hundred percent great outcomes, but in the least she would get a little of something she wanted her entire life, even if it was far, far from perfect. "..Okay..Then..I mean, of course..! Together, we'll destroy everything that is Jenova.." Including their selves, apparently, but she wouldn't think of that part for now. She would look forward to the time she did have, more so with the father there she never really got to know. Not that she would now, she didn't expect any soft moments, but that was fine so long as she had any kind of time with him, no matter how dark that time was.
Black Heart was a complete no body, for the most part, no one else there mattered to her right now, instead she would take his offered help up...
"AH-HA! Were BA--...Er...what..? Where did the creepo's go? " Autumn blinked, along side her was Futaba, in her regular every-day clothes once again. Her mask too, lost it's power for the moment due to all the damage. "...!...What..is...that? " Futaba's shocked voice came out louder then she might of realized, and her feet? They moved on their own. Right there behind the silver-haired girl with the godly, most awesome glowing blue blade-wings she ever seen. "Whoa....You look like you came straight out of a video game...Even your outfit. And your eyes?! ...Is this world so advanced....AI exist? ...It's so life-like! " It seemed Futaba...had completely forgot about everyone else around her, or the fact that she was about to die not very long ago! She reached out her hand, about to...poke Black Heart's cheek to feel how life-like 'it' really was.

Noire"I'm a CPU! An entire nation relies on me for protection and guidance!
Anything less than perfect isn't good enough!" ".........." Black Heart's closed, and at the poke, one of her eyes twitched. One could almost see her the irritation plastered on her features. "...What do I look like, some sort of robot?!" She snapped, opening her eyes. "Don't refer to me as "it"!" She said, her eyes showing an irritated expression. "I am a goddess! I demand respect! Though, not everything you said was inaccurate, I suppose." She let out a short sigh, as a dim light enveloped her body......And as it dissipated, a different looking young woman would be left there, with long black twin tails instead of the silver straight hair. Crimson eyes opened to settle upon Futaba's face. "...Sorry." She grunted. "Argh, why am I apologizing?! ...You look too much like Neptune..." She muttered that last part to herself. "How am I supposed to be mean to that face...? Ugh! You're so troublesome!" At this point she might sound like a rambling lunatic. Her features weren't THAT similar to Neptune's, but she had the same slender form and adorable face. "Whatever! I can see I'm no longer in the Hyper Dimension, so allow me to explain. I am the Console Patron Unit of a nation known as Lastation. i preside over the country and protect it, and in return, the citizens give me their Faith energy, or Shares, which I can harness to take the form you just saw. I am Black Heart, one of four CPUs. To a human such as yourselves, I am a goddess. Though clearly I'm not in my dimension anymore, so you can refer to me as Noire if you'd like." Generally humans referred to her with her CPU name, but she was no longer in Lastation--or even near it--so she couldn't so regularly act above other people's station. "I'm not a robot either, for the record! Anymore questions?""I will not repeat myself." Sephiroth responded simply. "This mission of mine has no distractions. If you wish to accompany me, you won't have time to spend with your friends at Avalanche. You must be certain." Basically, there wouldn't be much time for breaks, and he wouldn't be sidetracked. Either she would devote herself to the mission, or she would only be in the way. "You can choose to come with me, or you can choose to live the remainder of your days with them. Enjoy the rest of your existence, whether that be days, weeks, or months. Regardless of your choice, I will do what I must. But after your death, I will follow shortly." He was basically saying she would be his last target before ending his own life. He knew she wasn't loyal to Jenova, nor did she really have ill intentions. And for that, she deserved to have as much time as she could get. "Jenova is a plague. Everything about its existence must be erased. This is the only way." The fact that he intended to end his own life showed this obviously wasn't anything personal. It's what he believed to be for the best."Hey! Hang on!" Came a familiar voice from a small distance away, as it seemed an old friend of Sephiroth's was jogging over here at his typical moderate pace, used to conserve energy in case of combat. Practical, fitting for a SOLDIER First Class. Coming to a stop as he neared the two, Zack let out a breath, before speaking. "Sephriea," he began seriously. "I understand how you must feel about this, but you do know that you have a family, right? Aerith and me, we'll always be here for you--same as Cloud. I know it isn't the same, but I see you as much like a daughter as I see Ariel. You're part of my family, no matter what. Sephiroth may think this is for the best, but I won't let him do this. Not to you. I want you to stay with us. We're family! The blood in your veins doesn't decide who you are, or who you should be loyal to.""Good to see you too, Zack..." Sephiroth let out an amused noise. "When did you attain the power of telepathy? I don't see how you heard our conversation from so far away.""Well, actually..." He lifted his phone out of his pocket. "I tried to call Sephirea earlier. Seems like she accidentally pressed the answer button. I've heard everything from there." He closed his phone, pocketing it. "Lucky for Autumn mentioning this was close to Midgar. I came as fast as I could." Apparently Sephriea was on speaker too. Quite the convenient happenstance. "I'm glad you have a new goal, Sephiroth, but I can't let you hurt Sephriea. Or anyone else in our group.""Unfortunately, you won't stop me.""You can believe what you want. I won't lose to you." He had only ever lost to him once, at Nibelheim. And that was due to Zack holding back for most of the battle due to his previous friendship with Sephiroth. But now? Things were different. Zack wouldn't allow himself to lose in a situation like this. (( OOC: ))

Sephriea listened as he spoke, not saying a word until he had completely finished what he had to say, and by that end she would nod slightly. This wasn't really something she had to think on, she knew what she wanted to do, even if others didn't agree with her choice. "I understand....and I still choose to fight with you. Avalanche isn't exactly what it once was, the mansion is lifeless most days. I don't see them that often, so being away from them won't affect me, or anything else. You must know my hate for Jenova, so it's only right for me to follow along.." So it seemed, as of now, the thought of death wasn't so bad so long as it had an extreme purpose.
Then came a familiar voice, and an even more familiar figure of a jogging Zack. She may not of said anything, but his little jogging moments were pretty amusing. How far did he come just..jogging away! Looking at him, her face would remain serious and unchanging. He had to know she was serious about this, and she knew just what she was in store for upon his arrival. "Sorry, but there is no changing my mind..This is what I want to do, and where I want to be. I'll say this much, at the very least. " She paused a moment.. "You aren't my real father....but in all these years, you have been....the best father figure to me, You were always there when ...I needed someone to pull me back from...wrong choices. " She wasn't having the easiest time here, being soft and all, it wasn't her best attitude! "For that and all you've put up with, it amazes me even now that you could still care so much about me, while still thinking of me as one of your own...." She paused again. "...But this..might be the end point of how you see me from now on... I won't be coming back..You need to focus on your real family, with Jenova active, until we can destroy her, it's you, mom and Ariel who will be in real danger."
Again, she paused a moment, raising an eye brow slightly at his next words. So that explains how he found them, but, how did she manage to push the answer button of her phone? Was there more to this story then she knew? Did..Hiyori bug her phone?! ....Questions to wonder, but at the same time discard. It didn't much matter now! "...Anyway, I do have another idea." She turned to Sephiroth now. "You know Zack well, so I've heard...You also know Cloud, and the rest of the group of Avalanche. If we want to triple our chances to completely destroy Jenova, we can use all the help we can get. Not that we can't do it our selves, but it certainly would help and quicken the process. If you allow them to work with us on this mission... We all want to see Jenova gone, working together can be truly the only way to do this. If we are to be destroyed in the end, let it be certain that she is in fact gone. We can even get the help of Serenitains, and even Stark and Hiyori. Knowing them, they could come up with devices to find every follower of Jenova, every clone and creature she's ever put out to keep living on...I believe this is the only way to make certain we don't die for nothing. " It would suck to give up their lives, only to have one little shred of Jenova somehow be hiding out in the world, undetected, and slowly spreading throughout the earth like the plague that she---it, was.
"Ummmmm..Hi..? " Autumn stepped up awkwardly, looking to the tall silver-haired one. Wows, he really was tall! "I'm Autumn, and I think your super-doomy-gloomie methods are pretty terrible! I mean...You are ready to give up so quickly, rather then looking into other methods that could purge all that Jenova creepiness from you. You know?! We have higher ups with even greater powers you could only dream of! Especially speaking, there's a cute blue-haired goddess who could maybe help with that. And even if she can't, she knows all those high stuck ups! I mean....high ups. Well, there really is one stuck up there, the most annoying elf in history! Rude! ..Er...So I mean...You shouldn't just jump to death like its the only option in the world. Hows about once you've gotten rid of Jenova, you both come back to Midgar and we'll gather everyone we need to try EVERYTHING possible to keep death out of the picture? And if it works, you can step up this goal of yours to be a better person...obviously Sephriea seems to want that. And YOU.." She gave Sephriea a look. "You can stop trying to be cool already and tell him how much you love him. I can see it, even your hesitating, shy voice says it all. You could love them both as your father, its not going to hurt. Sheesh! And you, you can get to know her better. Doesn't that all sound much better then just giving up?! " She said to Sephiroth now.
In Futaba's eyes, yes, yes she did look like a robot! ...A very advanced, pretty robot, but still a robot. What human had such...digital-energy blades for wings?! Shocking just how wrong she really was. "Sorry! ...I didn't mean to insult you.." This girl seemed a bit snappy, she'd have to be careful about how she choose her words! The surprises kept coming, she would learn that she wasn't her silly thoughts of a robotic being, but a Goddess instead. Major craziness she wasn't used to yet. This world WAS like one giant video game!
Futaba's eyes widened under her glasses as she watched the change take place, what once was a wicked cool looking silver-haired girl, was now a dark haired girl, in quite the elegant outfit."Whoa...that's so cool! It's like your own disguise.." She would so make a cool Phantom Thief! Futaba tilted her head curiously at the sudden name of question, but before she could ask about it, the girl would begin to explain who she was, and the even more bizarre world she came from. "Your world....sounds very interesting to me. Are there more like you? " So she wasn't sure HOW to word that without sounding rude. How else could she ask? "..A-Anymore Goddess's, like you? " She paused, gods, why was she suddenly so nervous? Talking to a Goddess, it wasn't exactly easy not to worry! "..Um..Noire, okay...I'm Futaba, nice to meet you! " This was such a normal thing to do, have a nice little chat so soon after disaster. "........" Meanwhile, the eerily silent Luna..began to make her way away from the group, still clutching her once unicorn plush close to her chest, it may of been missing it's horn now, but it was still the same beloved stuffed animal she would never part with. It was quite the way down, but somehow this tiny girl had no problem getting around on her own. She wasn't a social butterfly, and quickly began to feel very out of place...where would she go now? Junon? Or return to the beach side as she was before everything went bad..

Zack Fair"Embrace your dreams, and, whatever happens, protect your honor as SOLIDER." "...Sephriea." Zack's expression showed how serious the former SOLDIER was. "I'm glad to hear that, and... I'll be there for the rest of your life, too. I won't let you die like this. Even if you think you're okay with it, this is going to be another wrong choice I pull you back from." Zack grunted. "You are my real family!" He shouted suddenly. "Nothing between us is fake!! I said that I consider you as much a daughter as Ariel, and I meant it!" He took a step forward. "...For a long time, after I left Gongaga, Angeal was as close to me as family. He was like an older brother to me--my mentor." He reached to the Buster Sword on his back, gripping the handle. "I'm the one who had to kill him..." Sephiroth turned away, closing his eyes. "For the longest time, and even still now.... I hated myself for how weak I was. For not being able to save him." He let go of the Buster Sword's crimson handle, turning a determined expression to Sephirea. "I won't let that happen. Never again. I gave my life to save Cloud, and I'd do the same for you. I'd have no regrets. No matter what you say, no matter what you think you want--I WILL protect you. I WILL save you. You are my daughter--whether or not we share blood, that fact won't change." It was so easy to see just how much Zack cared for her. Whether he was her true father or not, he was her real father.As Sephriea began to speak on bringing others to help, Sephiroth raised an arm, to stop her. "Your friends have been trying to kill Jenova for years. Bringing them won't help anything. Either you alone can help me, or I will do it alone." It seemed clear he had no interest in compromise. Then came Autumn's interloping. Clearly the best sort of person to try to interject your opinion onto, as would be made clear as the Masmune slashed directly towards her. A certain someone shot up from the earth, catching the blade in the palm of her hand. "I don't recall asking for your opinion." Sephiroth said to Autumn, before turning his eyes to the one who stopped him. "Ah... Mordi." He was fairly familiar to her and her father. "You seem to be somewhat stronger since the last time we met.""...Somewhat...?" Mordi's grip on Masamune's blade tightened for only a moment, before the sound of snapping could be heard, and half the blade snapped right off from the other half. Mordi glanced at the katana blade in her hand. "...You could... say that..."Sephiroth raised his half of the Masamune slightly, looking at it, before looking back at her with an amused noise. "Not bad." He tossed the blade to the side. "I will say it only once more to the likes of you: I have no interest in atonement. I would end my life regardless of my connection to Jenova. I can no longer have a regular life, nor do I desire one. I only have one more goal in this life, and then I can move on at last..." He turned towards Sephirea, once again holding out his arm. "If you want to assist me, take my hand." Had she chosen to do so, the two would vanish from the area."Sephirea!" Zack stepped forward, outstretching his own arm to her. "Stay with us! We love you. We don't want to just use you for our own ends. We've always been your family, and we always will! No matter what!" Quite the important choice for Sephriea to make, that could affect more than she presently realized. What would she do? (( OOC: ))

Sephriea let out a soft sigh, maybe she shouldn't of said those things to him? The more she said, the more false hope may of been put into Zack's mind, his kind, caring words were very hard to ignore. She couldn't bring herself to say how much his words meant to her, or how much he meant to her.Though it would seem he may of already known that, even if she didn't show it right now. "...Why do you have to be...so nice? You make this so much harder then it should be." She said with another sigh. "...No, not this time..This time it's different. I know for certain, this is what I want. I need to do this. I'll..always see you as family, you know...but now its time for me to move on to the one family I never got to know. And you know if this is the best way to stop all of Jenova from ever becoming again, then it has to be done. You can think of me as a Hero, like you, okay? To go down for a good cause isn't so bad, and I won't be alone when that happens. " She would have...the most uncaring father who never once was a part of her life, or cared about her existence, with her. What great company that would be in the afterlife. "Anyway, that's it...That's all I have to say. I'm going to follow through and fight with my father, we'll destroy Jenova once and for all...I won't change my mind.."
As she turned to Sephiroth next to suggest her idea to allow the others to help, she would be disappointed to see he wanted nothing to do wit their help. Sure, he did have a point, didn't he? "....No, no...I will help you. If it has to be just us, then i'm fine with that." Was she really? That was a question for sure.
Then came Autumns sudden ...energetic explanation of the day. Probably TO energetic, and even more annoying, she could almost predict what might happen if she annoyed him to much. And, sure enough there went Masamune, on it's way toward the witch. Sephriea didn't even attempt to stop it, of course she wasn't going to ruin her chances to stay with Sephiroth by going against him to save one idiotic girl! But then, there shot up from the ground the young goddess Mordi. "...That explains it.." She muttered to herself. She silently questioned how this brainless girl could ever survive a day, but then the answer literally shot out of the ground. "....." Sephriea's eyes narrowed slightly, how was this small framed goddess so strong? She might become a problem later on. To destroy Masamune was nearly impossible, yet she did it as though it were nothing but a thin little stick!
Her eyes would return to her father as she turned to look at him.. "......." She paused again, her attention would now fall onto Zack. God, this ...was to hard. His determination, that look on his face...How could she hurt him like this? "....If you love me as you say, then.....you can forgive me...i'm sorry, I do love you, you know.. Just don't forget that, and thank you for everything you've ever done.." And just then, she would take Sephiroth's hand..

  "What a ....incredibly..large city.." The city in the distance was nothing beautiful, in fact, from the distance high up on the cliff over looking Midgar city, the obvious smog surrounding the area was very concerning. She could only imagine how many people lived there! Maybe it wasn't as bad as it seemed? Since she arrived in this world, each little town she ran into told her the same thing. Go to Midgar.It really was impressive she even made it this far, without ending up completely and utterly lost. Following their directions as best that she could, she eventually found herself here. On a cliff. Not exactly ideal! If only she still had her Dragonstone. That would of been useful! For now, it was a perfect spot to rest, she had been on the move for so long her energy was already spent! Last thing she needed was to play trek down the mountain.

   "Oooh! What a pretty Serenitian I don't know!!" Came a very unfamiliar, cheerful voice a slight distance from behind where Alear was resting. "I just LOVE your hair. The colors are beautiful! " She must of gotten that compliment so many times, right? Who couldn't love that! "He,he..sorry, I can't help myself when something so pretty is right in front of me! " Run away, Alear, Run. Away! "My name is Alice, Princess to both the Forest Kingdom of Serenity, and the Kingdom of Renais.It's wonderful to meet you! " She could be a enemy, seeking nothing but to kill anything that moved, yet she was so terribly friendly with everyone and everything! Alice didn't like to think of negative things, and she especially didn't want to treat people as a possible enemy. Besides, how could someone so lovely be evil? "...Thank you.." Alear was so surprised at her sudden appearance, and the many, many compliments, she was almost left speechless. This girl was so friendly, and while she thought it might be good to be on her guard in this new, strange world she found herself thrown into, she couldn't put up such a fort with this girl! She did seem genuine, much like her smile. "..I'm sorry..You surprised me! I don't mean to be rude.." She smiled at her, there was no way she was an enemy, especially with that introduction given so freely. There was no hesitation, showing how much she trusted in Alear, despite not knowing her at all! "I'm...the Divine Dragon, Alear.." Well, that title probably meant nothing here in this world, but she wanted to be just as honest with Alice as she was to her. "Oh, don't worry! I did kind of sneak up on you, didn't I? " She smiled, waving a hand as if to dismiss the subject. "Divine Dragon, huh? That sounds so cool! Do you turn into a dragon, then? Oh, I want to see! It must look INCREDIBLE!" Her imagination was running wild, it seemed! "A-Actually.." Well, she didn't often feel embarrassed about this, but for once, the excitement in Alice's voice to see the dragon form she didn't have anymore, was a bit embarrassing, and somewhat disappointing. It was always something she wondered about herself, What would it have been like? If only she could remember what it was like in her past, but that memory was long gone, long ago. "I can't take my dragon form anymore, I'm sorry! " Yes, apologizing for something that was very much out of her control! "Though, right now..I'm trying to find my way to that city.." But then there was this cliff, not making that journey any easier, or quicker! "Ah! I'm sorry more! I didn't mean to bring up something bad..if that's the reason..Sorry! Sorry! Let me make it up to you by helping you get to Midgar. I was on my way there, too! " Really convenient ,she would be happy she 'snuck' up on her for sure! "Watch this, Divine one! " She grinned, summoning a bow of light magic, followed by an arrow of the same magical energy, where she walked over to the edge of the cliff, raising the arrow and aiming it towards the bottom of the cliff, a long, long ways down, she let it go, the magic arrow streaming through the air to it's target, the ground! In it's wake, Alear would notice the holy light trail it left behind, that trail of light began to take from into a massive, looong staircase of incredible holy light.Before Alear could get a word in, Alice grabbed her hand and began to walk...right on the light staircase she created! "Down we go! " Alear's hesitance and brief protest went a bit ignored as she was pulled along with her!
