It was 8 years after they had defeated Sephiroth and everything was going fine.For saving the planet the life stream had brought Aries back to life, but Tifa was madder then ever (Did't show it to Cloud) because just as Cloud was about to tell her he loved her Aeris arose and came back to life. the rest of them where happy and healthy until now!
Tifa's eyes glowed red as she watch Cloud and Aeris holding hands as they sat along the beach in the light of a full moon."I will have my revenge Cloud" she said in a whisper when from behind a voice called "Tifa what you doin?" it was RedXIII she made up a quick lie and told him that she had dropped her earing some where around here.He saw past that within a moment."Anyway there's some guy on the phone , he says he wants to talk to you."K I'll be right in" she said as Red turnned to leave. She then turned to glare at Cloud and Aeris once more.
After she received her call she then went down to the beach and Cloud if she could borrow the Highwind "What for ?" he asked. "I need to go pick up a package" she said. "ok then" he said and she was off!
The next mornning Tifa returned with a boy at the about the age of 14, he was tall and had dirty blond hair his eyes shawn a dark green.He was dressed in complete blackness His weapons were a punching glove along with a sword.
Once she reach the hotel (in Costa del Sol) Everyone stared everyone except Cloud and Aeris who were out for the day at the Gold Saucer.Tifa then took a seat at a table with Barret. Who's your friend ?" asked Barret as she sat down at the table. Tifa looked at him then repleyed "this is my son"! Barret looked at her funny then said "really Tifa who is he"? I told you "he's my son", then how come you never spoke of him. I sent him to SOLDIER about a month after he was born."I asked them to train him","when I got the call that he was finish I went to get him."I did't want to spoil the surprise, so I kept him a secret".
"Who's the father?" he asked. "Umm well that a secret not to be let out" she said just as Cloud & Aeris walked in. Once reached the table Cloud pulled out a seat for Aeris and then seated himeself."Does he have a name?" Barret asked. "His name is Julian".
"Who do we have here?" asked Cloud . Before Tifa could answer Barret had already said "Tifa's kid!" Cloud then glared at Tifa as Aeris glared at Cloud."What" asked Tifa. "Nothin" Cloud repleyed."Mother" Julian asked "I'm tired is there a place I could sleep? Tifa then directed him to the room , as he left the table. "I'm tired too" said Aeris, "I'll be right up" answered Cloud.
"So Tifa exactly how is this kid and what's he doin here? asked Cloud . Tifa then answered "he's my son,he just got back from SOLDIER, and he's here to stay." "Ok" "but who's his dad ? "I'd rather not speak of him, he was an evil man who did't care, but at that time he did." "Aeris is upset, she thinks that we uh, I mean she thinks that Julian is" "Our kid right? Tifa snapped."Yeah" answered Cloud . "Well tell her that even if he was our kid that I would't care if he upsets her or not." "Anyway that was a lovely chat I'm gone to bed."
After Tifa had gone Barret then spoke "that kid of hers gives me the creeps, it's just that glow in his eyes it reminds me of................ of Sephroth.
The next morning Cloud woke early, he could not sleep so he went to have breakfast. The only other person that was up was Julian, so Cloud thought that it would be a goo opertunity to get to know him better he went and sat down beside him expecting him to turn to look but he did not. He just keep pokeing at his pancakes with his fork.
Cloud then thought he should start the conversation," how old will you be this year Julian? he asked. Julian turned his head and answered "I'll be 15" then as if it had caught his attention he looked directly in Clouds eye than said "you were in SOLDIER too? "Yeah" Cloud replied "Did you know my father he asked? "Well if I knew his name I might be able to tell you". "His name was Sephiroth".
Cloud's eyes widened then he grabbed the sides of his head and slide to the floor. "Cloud what's wrong, are you ok? asked Julian in a calm voice. While Cloud was on the floor he remebered Sephiroth's last words "My son will kill you". Thinking at the time he had no son, Cloud had nothing to worry about. "Are you ok? asked Julian again. "Yeah I'm fine" answered Cloud "just a head ache" he tried to smile but could't thoughts were raceing through his mind. Was this his enemy?,Was this truly Sephroths son?,Would he try to kill me?,Should I get the first strike at him?, Did Tifa know?
All of asudden his thught ended when Tifa came down and good mornning to both of them."Tifa could I speak to you in private for a moment? "Sure Cloud". Once around the corner Cloud began to ask questions "is Sephiroth really his father? Tifa looked into Clouds eyes for a moment then turnned "yes" "Tifa what were you thinking?
Cloud was yelling now." I don't know, I was young and stupid, he was the only one that ever noticed me besides you Cloud". Tifa was in tears. "Why do you care anyway? She choked out."That is non of your business" Cloud barked out. Wthout even know Tifa cried out "all I ever wanted was for you to care for me"
The yelling and crying had caught Julian's attention, he got up from his seat and went to see what was going on. Cloud looked into her eye and was about to say something but before he had a chance to speak Aeris called out "Cloud come here." Instead of giving his real answer he just said "your a waste of my time" then left on the way out he ran into Julian who glared at him with his green eyes as he walked past him.
Once reaching Tifa he asked "now mother? "No" answered Tifa. That afternoon Tifa was out walking on the beach when Cloud finally caught up with her, "you know I'm sorry about what I said this mornning right? Tifa did't answer. "Come on Tif I'm sorry" "your just wasting your time, why don't you go help Aeris down the stairs or something"
"Tifa I came here to apalogize, but that is to mean to say about Aeris"."Well she seems practicly helpless, every 10 minutes Cloud could you come here there's a dust bunny blocking the door."
"Hey"said Cloud before he could say anything else Tifa said "Go be with your b@*#$ I'm sure she's probaly lonely." Cloud could't take it any more he walked in front of Tifa an put his hans on her shoulders and said "Aeris may be rude or mean but she is not a b*@^%. "I don't care any more Cloud go away and leave me alone, for all I care go hang yourself, or take your !%#ing girl friend and leave.
Cloud was so mad by this time he slapped Tifa, he was shocked at his own reaction he stepped back, Tifa looked at him then ran up to the hotel, Cloud ran after her but was stopped by Julian who said "You will never hurt my mother again."Cloud looked at him for a moment then headed back down to the beach.Julian turned and went to see Tifa.
"now mother he asked? "yes" Tifa replied, with a redish glow in her eyes.
The next mornning Cloud woke up to find a note on his dresser it read:
Cloud,
Meet me at the Mt. Nibel reactor at 5 o'clock
Love, Aeris
Cloud thought to himself, now what is she up to? Once Cloud was up he had nothin to do so he decided to go down to the beach. As he walked down he noticed that Tifa was there."Hey Tifa what's up?"he tried to sound sorrowful, Tifa turnned to look then packed up and left.Cloud was on the beach alone so he sat there and thought what about what Aeris wanted. Cloud thinking hard had fallen asleep, when he woke it was 4:30. He decided to head to Mt. Nibel. Once he arrived he saw the well at the center of the small town he thought back to when Tifa and he made there promise.He thought I was alittle mean to Tifa I mean like I did slap her,although she did say mean thing about Aeris. Aeris, I better hurry she'll be waiting for me.Once he reached the reacter he stepped insied "Aeris you here?" he walked up the stairs and entered Janova's chamber.
He headed up looking for Aeris.From behimd him he heard a bang he looked back and the door was sealed "What the hell?
"Cloud" someone was calling his name,"Hello, Tifa Aeris that you?"
Julian jumped down from behind "No It's me." Cloud turnned around "What are you doing here? "I have orders from my father and my mother." "Cloud" Tifa appeared from behind one of the peices of equipment."Tifa?"
"Before you come to an end I though I might say bye." "Bye?" "Oh one more thing before you actully die your going to see Aeris be killed, the way I wanted her to die." "What do you by, the way I wanted her to die?"
"Back when Aeris first died I told Sephiroth to extermanate of her, (so we could be toghether) but I asked him to make her sufer so you could watch as she slowly died ." "But now that Sephiroth is gone I can do as I please with her,but since the others are probally looking for us I'll make this a short death."Tifa pulled Aeris out from behind a tall metal beam "Cloud" Aeris yelled. "Take one good look at him for it's the last time you'll see him" Tifa said.
Tifa pushed Aeris down on her knees grabbed he by the hair and pulled out a small dagger "Say bye Cloud." "NOOOO" Cloud yelled. It was to late Aeris fell to the ground with a pool of blood starting to form around her. Tifa stood there with a bloody dagger, she looked pleased."Kill him now Julian."
"No" he answered. "No, what do you mean?" "Mother I wish to challenge him in a duel to the end."
"Then you shell" she answered. Cloud looked up at Tifa his eyes filled with tears but his mind filled with anger.
"You killed Aeris you will pay ." He ran at Tifa pulling out his sword. Julian pulled out his and jumped in front of him swing his sword wildly Julian stabbed Cloud in the shoulder."Aaahhh."
Cloud swung his sword around just missing Julians head,"She killed Aeris Tifa will pay" he yelled in pain. "She desurved to die." Julian answered with a smile on his face.Cloud jumped backwards down the stairs landing on Tifa "You killed Aeris so you will die too." Cloud raised his sword and stabbed Tifa through the heart, her last word was "Julian."
Julian heard this and came running "You killed my mother"he screamed. He jumped up and cut Cloud's head off as he turned around with his sword out. Julian had killed Cloud but not being so lucky he had landed on cloud's blade. He lyed there bleeding to death. "Mother he shell never..... hurt ........you...................again.
