Fire everywhere in Nibelheim. The hot flames the man with the gaze of the devil and the silver like the moon hair had spread made the small village a miniature of the burning hell. Screams of anguish, pain and terror were emitted from the houses that were converting to ash, along with their residents. And the one responsible for all of these was walking inside the flames, without receiving any damage. He didn't care for what would happen to the people around him, as long as he got what he wanted. With determination in his turquoise eyes that illuminated the flames he proceeded to his destination impetuously, with steadfast steps when a voice in his head stopped him. "My son, where are you? I need you here. I need you to take revenge for me! Come to me!" He understood who was calling him at once and his only response that said out loud was:

"I'm coming to get you..."

He lifted his head and his stern gaze didn't even squandered energy to look and pay attention to the young black-haired blue-eyed SOLDIER that stared at him in consternation. Sephiroth turned around and continued walking through the fire as staunchly as before. In his mind he had only one thing; to get his mother.

At the same time, somewhere near the village, in cave, a beautiful maiden clad in white cloth, heard as well the blue-skinned monster's words towards her son. CRACK! Crystallized mako was spread everywhere in the cave! The woman started running as fast as she could towards Nibelheim. She had heard Jenova's voice calling her son, so she had to interfere in order to prevent Sephiroth from destroying the world. She run and run, but it seemed meaningless; with every step she did her powers abandoned her, yet she carried on. She had to. After 40 minutes of running, she collapsed with a single word leaving her lips before she passed out:

"...Vincent......."

The said man, had been sleeping in a coffin at Shinra Mansion's basement for more than 20 years. But on that day, some unpleasant whispers had been disturbing him. Since he was implanted with her cells, he could hear her as well. But that was the reason he was able to hear his beloved's plead. One word by Lucrecia was enough to shot his eyes wide open.

"Lucrecia!", he shouted and threw off of him the coffin's door, which was smash in a thousand pieces.

With out giving it much thought he turned in Chaos form and rushed with the speed of lighting towards his beloved one. When he found her, she told him to take her to Nibelheim reactor and he acted like she indicated.

The moment Lucrecia entered the reactor, Sephiroth had just come out from the chamber with Jenova's head in his hand. Cloud was ready to attack him but as he saw the woman he stopped. When Lucrecia's eyes met the silver-haired man's form she hissed:

"Sephiroth!"

The general looked surprised at the woman. An inexplicable feeling overwhelmed him at her sight, like he had seen her before, though she still seemed a complete stranger.

"You have to hear me! What you are going to do is wrong! That woman who's head you are holding isn't your real mother! She is just a monster! I am...I'm your...mother"

Upon the hearing of the word "mother", Sephiroth's body tensed and a gasp escaped his lips.

"Everything you've been told is a lie! Jenova is just a creature who's cells your adoptive father implanted inside my uterus while you were still a fetus. Please, you have to believe me!"

Sephiroth let Jenova's head to drop and roll down the stairs while his face bore an utterly wondered expression. He did a timid step towards Lucrecia.

"Sephiroth, please...Forget all those terrible things you are thinking about taking revenge on the planet and come back to us. Don't let that monster control you! You are stronger than her! By what you are going to do you are not only going to harm innocent people, but yourself as well. In the end you won't have what you desire most; family. I don't ask you to forgive me, but do it for your father...Your true, biological father, from whom I hid his son. Please, stop this madness...* cough, cough *"
