Jenova's Puppet

Disclaimer: I don't own FF7 unfortunately.

Sephiroth stood at the top of the northern crater, looking down at the surrounding land. He smiled. Cloud was closer now. Ah, there he was at the top of Gaeas Cliff. It wouldn't be long now. He would soon have the black materia. Then Sephiroth would call down Meteor and become a god. Perhaps then Jenova, the alien that called itself his mother, would leave him alone.

He knew she was not his real mother. He knew nothing of his real mother. Sephiroth found out the truth when he killed the Cetra girl. Her spirit had whispered the truth, as it became part of the Lifestream. He would have stopped then but Jenova had taken control of his body, pulling the sword from the lifeless body while smirking at Cloud

Sephiroth wished Jenova would leave him alone but if he even thought about disobeying her she would punish him with excruciating pain. Sephiroth wanted to be his own person now. Listening to Jenova's sweet persuasive voice had seemed like a good idea five years ago but now it was torturing him. The only release Sephiroth could see was becoming a god. He wasn't sure if death would rid him of Jenova.

Cloud was even closer now. Time to go now. Sephiroth turned and leaped into the crater, silver hair flying behind him, and made his way to the chamber where his physical body was trapped in frozen Mako. Not long now he thought looking up at his physical prison. He turned and went to meet Cloud and his pathetic bunch of friends. The mere thought of them defeating him was enough to make him laugh.

Sephiroth managed to confuse them all easily. Then he left and waited to make his next move. He saw Cloud entrust the Black materia to Red XII and leave. Getting the beast to give the materia to Cloud and then getting Cloud to give it to him would be too easy. What made it all even better were the looks of horror on the company's faces. Sephiroth gained the back orb without any trouble, just as he knew he would.

Soon he would be free.
