Shouldn’t have overlooked them… Barret… Tifa…

Maybe I should have taken care of them myself… my deepest regret…

I shouldn’t have trusted a ‘failure’…

Sephiroth stood with his body up in the air. He watched the whole scene. He saw how Cloud stared at Aeris, with his mind fully focused on Aeris. That was the perfect chance to control his mind. When his mind was full of something, it was easier to make that thought a target of his action. Fortunately, Cloud was thinking about Aeris.

Hmmm, this is getting interesting… Sephiroth mused, glancing around at the City of Ancient.

He hadn’t made any appearance when that big black guy and black-haired woman took Cloud and Aeris away.

He didn’t want to show himself, the holy person, in front of mere pathetic humans. They were all sentenced death in his book. And further more, they would try to attack him that would be fatal in the world of Ancient. He would be subjected to scarring the holy place and he would be condemned from calling out the black materia. Of course, he had his ‘jenova cell’ with him. It would fight for him. But he had discovered something interesting.

Hmmm…?

Sephiroth’s eyes focused on the small materia lying on the white floor of the altar.

It was different from the ones the pathetic humans carried on their weapons. This one was glowing in light green. A very pale green.

Sephiroth landed on the altar in an instant and with a single wisp of his right hand, he placed the weird materia into his palm.

Hmmm, very interesting…

This was his lucky day…

The very materia he had wanted to get his hands on…

It was his for good.
