Nearby the artisans house and Gold Saucer, a portal opened and two men fell out.

“Come on Jason. Did you really think that you could ditch me by traveling to another dimension?” The first man siad in a bored tone.

“Believe me John, there was always the hope.” Jason said.

“BRING IT ON” Jason shouted.

They both unseath their swords, Jason the Ex-Caliber and John the Sword of Darkness. They dashed at each other. John tried a body slice, which was quickly blocked. Jason tried for the quick ending by aiming for the throat. He narowwly missed and was almost on the recieving end of an overhead chop. He quickly blocked it and tried the throat chop once more. John blocked this attack, but Jason turned the block to his advantage by delivering a low blow with his boot. Jason tossed his sword into the air, let out a flurry of punchs, caught the sword and quickly delived a slash across the chest. John stumbled backwards and decided it was time to retreat.

“You may have won this time, but the next time we meet you will die.” John said as he took off.

“Come back here you bastard. I’m not finished with you. SPEED.” Jason shouts.

Jason starts running at an unbelievable speed, trying to find John. He stops when he reaches the parked Highwind just outside North Corel. John is watching from the top of the mountain surrounding Corel.

“I will kill you next time we meet.” He says to himself. He turns around and finds himself face to face with Sephiroth.

“Who are you?” John asks.

“I am Sephiroth. I require you’re help to kill someone who I cannot seem to defeat. I saw how skilled you are and decided to ask if you will help.” Sephiroth said in a tone of voice that inquired that he couldn’t believe he was asking someone for help.

“Why should I help you?”

“Because if you help me get what I want, I will help you get what you want.”

This offer John couldn’t refuse. “Alright, I’ll help, but where is this guy anyway?”

“Over there, in the Gold Saucer.”

“Lets go. I want to kill this guy so we can kill Jason.” Sephiroth made a wicked smile.

“Whats with the heavy machinery?” Jason asks himself while looking at the Highwind. He enters town.

“I’ll have to sell something to get some money.” He says to himself. He pulls out a pair of SMGs and walks up to one of the shops.

“How much can you give me for these?” He asks.

“I can buy those SMGs for 10,000 gil.”

“I’ll take it.” The shop owner pays him the money.

Jason wanders around town untill he reaches the blue trolley leading to the Gold Saucer.

“Where does this trolley lead to?” He asks the lady in the booth.

“It leads to the Gold Saucer. Its an amusment park that has roller coasters, games, an inn and a lot of other attractions. If you want to go you should get on now, its about to leave.”

“I havent relaxed in a long time. I guess I could relax for a day and then resume searching for John.” Jason boards the trolley.

When Jason arrives, he pays the lady and goes to the directory. He decides to go to Wonder Square and jumps down the tube.

“Come on Cloud. Lets go to Wonder Square. We been everywhere else but there.” Aeris asks.

Cloud hesitates.“Alright, I dont see why not.”

“ Alright. Lets go.” Aeris grabs Clouds hand and half drags him there.

“Cool, a motorcycle game.” Jason says. He gets on and starts playing.

“Hey Cloud, lets play the fighting game.” Aeris says as they enter the room.

“Alright, alright just slow down.”

Jason wins the game and gets a new high score. “Alright. The master of video games has done it again.”

Aeris beats Cloud in a fighting game.

“You got lucky.” Cloud states almost matter of factly.

“No, I am just very skilled.”

“Lucky.”

“Skilled.”

“Lucky.”

“Skilled.”

“Sephiroth, its Sephiroth.” Someone shouted.

Cloud looked down the stairs and to his shock, suprise and horror, he saw Sephiroth walking towards the room he was in, with John not to far behind.
