"I can't help wondering what Dad's gonna say when he finds out about us," Annie said through happy tears.
Joey shrugged, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Probably what he said the first time..."
They spoke in unison. "'Good G**! TWO of them?!'" They began to laugh, almost in stereo.
Jared shook his head and chuckled. "Those two... they drive ya kinda nuts at first, but then they grow on ya." He acquired a more somber tone. "At least, that's what Blue said."
Fruxas wandered down the stairs, gazing at his counterpart. "I... you..."
Jared smiled. "Let me see." He took off the younger version's coat. "Oh, lord... still tending the feathers to the left. Let me fix that."
Fruxas felt frozen... he was letting himself be preened by... himself.
Kadaj felt like he was being forced to accept way too many temporal anomalies. He stepped outside for some fresh air.

nikky couldn't help but laugh. ''oh... thats wonderful....'' she had to admit that did sound like reno... she watched kadaj leave before looking to the two... or one, boy. she watched them curiously before looking back to the two girls and grinning.

Jared looked at the girls with their mother. "Hey... why don't you give me some alone time and go snatch your dad, OK?"
Annie and Joey looked at each other. "OK... Mom, do you get motion sickness real easy?" She hadn't back in their time, but it's always good to be sure.

nikky blinked and shook her head slowly. ''no.... why??'' she had a feeling she already knew but she had to say it.

The girls gave each other that impish grin they inherited from their father...
They each held out their right hands, about four inches apart from each other... a pale white glow began to gather, forming into a transparent ball... and finally flattening out into a ring...
They took opposite ends of the ring, spinning with pure energy, and closed their eyes, holding onto their mother with their opposite arms... the ring suddenly encased them and they vanished...
((To Shinra Mansion))

Akira opened his eyes to find himself inside a cellar. What was that pain in my head? It was just a headache now. Something must have caused that much pain, But what?
Then suddenly he knew what it was. Chaos demons.
He stood up, only to be yanked back down by the chains that held him. He was too weak to break them with his bare hands, so he searched around for a weapon. Quickly aquiring a large rock, he began to hit away at the chains until they broke off of the wall.
Where was my weapon, dammnit. Maybe he could use the chains tied to him as weapons. He swung the chains around and put a small hole through the wall. "Not bad..." Akira's wings and spikes retracted back into his arms, and he heard a voice through his head..
"I can't let you interfere in my plans child, why do you think you are down here..."
It was Ryukishin. I couldn't let him get to me. The others could be in some serious danger. Akira headed off running. "damnit..." how was he supposed to get across to Nibleheim without his wings.
"You won't be able to help them. They don't trust you. They've forgotten you and all they remember is what you did. All those people you killed. If you really wanted to help them, you would go back down to the cellar where you belong."
Akira stopped. "Get Out Of My Head!!!" Akira shouted at the top of his lungs as his wings burst from his back. Silence.... was he gone. Akira didn't have time for this. He took off for Nibleheim once again...

A few moments after Annie and Joey came back to retrieve Jared and Kadaj, the empty building stood innocently vacant, absolutely oblivious to the evil it was about to witness...
Light flashed in the lobby, and three figures stood in its place as it faded away...
The first was a young woman of about twelve years of age, wearing a red silk dress, with silver hair piled onto the top of her head by silver chains, streaked with pink. She carried two silver energy hilts in her hands, capable of generating a transparent blade or of shooting concentrated energy blasts, depending upon which trigger she pulled...
The second, a woman who looked a bit older than seventeen, wore a battle suit of black nanofiber, just as sturdy as any suit of armor, but far more lightweight. Her long silver hair hung almost to her ankles, and her long silver sword was bound to her side with a newly replaced handle.
The third, who appeared to be about twenty-six, wore a designer white suit of classic cut with semi-frictionless fabric making up the majority of the material. Several futuristic firearms were secreted about his person.
The youngest member of this vile party grinned maliciously. "We're baaaa-aaaack..."
Xima, reincarnated by her daughter's terrible genetic genius, turned to her reborn mate. "Once again, we miraculously defy the odds. And this time... they will burn before we fall before them again." She pulled him into a passionate kiss, offering up a toast. "To new life."

Rufus grinned evilly, kissing her back just as passionately.
"To settling a score..." He said, toasting with her. He'd promised 15 Prime that he would make her pay... and now he had his chance. Rufus Shinra was back and this time he was NOT to be taken down so easily...

Jared arrived with the girls moments ahead of Ami and her brothers on the motorcycle. He materialized outside the Inn and instructed the others to wait a moment. "Give me one second alone with them."
He rushed in before the others could stop him.
Jared gazed levelly at the people he had once called his family. "I wept for you once. Then you came back... and decided you wanted me dead because I wanted to do something I believed in." His fists clenched. "I would have given anything for us to be a family again, but you wouldn't let go of your hate."
He prepared to fight. "You wiped out the only REAL family I ever had."
Kadaj pulled up the bike alongside the girls. "You're letting him fight in there ALONE? Are you insane?"
He barged in behind them. "Undeath seems to become us, sister."
"And death will soon become YOU again, traitor," she hissed.
Young Jenova only smiled as she telepathically lifted him off the ground and threw him out a window. "Let the games begin."
Jared drew the Angel Cry and aimed it at his father. "Put your weight on the opposite leg, right?" He fired...

Rufus clenched his jaw and leapt to the side, rolling on his shoulder and drawing the first of many automatic weapons.
"My own son has turned his back on his family... Its such a shame... I had such high hopes for you." He said.
Rufus grimaced and squeezed the trigger, sending a barrage of lead streaking towards the one now calling himself "Jared".

In spite of everything he now knew... all he had learned to become... everything his former parents had done to him in this past year of terror and bloodshed... it was killing him inside to do this. He had to fight back bitter tears as he dodged the bullets. "'A shame'... is that all you have to say?" Jared screamed. "Did you ever care about me at all?" You were my father. I loved you... I mourned you when I learned Amnesty killed you... I vowed to always hate her for taking you away... until one day, when I learned the truth. But I still refused to hate you... then the day came when I saw it all with my own eyes. The day you, and my mother, and my sister, killed Tseng right in front of me... for protecting me from my own ignorance. Everything he had pushed away and ignored in the middle of this unbelievable war... a war of endless impossibilities and unceasing pain... all the people he'd seen die, those who had cared for him when he had nothing to offer but a broken spirit... it was crashing down on him as he returned fire. "Why wouldn't you just let go?!"
Xima had followed her brother outside and was raining down punishment on him, burning with a flame of fury. "Let time crash inwards on itself... I'll see you die here and now!"
Amnesty and the others came forward to engage her, but they were caught, suspended in mid stride, by young Jenova. Annie began to push back against her power, and Joey joined in, but her strength was too great...

Rufus drew another weapon and opened fire with it just as the ammo clip from the first ran dry.
"Fruxas, you were the entire reason I cared about ANYTHING at all! How dare you question MY caring when your the one stabbing your own family in the back."

Jared almost froze in place. In all the time he'd been a freedom fighter... he had given up on the idea of having a father's love. Tseng had only taken him out of pity... just when he had begun opening up to him, his "family" had taken him away... The Angel Cry's plasma charages ran out, and he activated the energy blade, swinging it at the gun, chopping it almost in half. "I loved you... until you tried to force me to."
He pulled back and got another sword off his belt, throwing it at his father's feet. "I never wanted anything but to make you and Mother happy. But I was never good enough." He shook with anger. "And I kept on being not good enough... not good enough to stop you from killing everyone and everything. Our world is dying... I came here out of desperation! Why don't you see it?" Tears of anger were boiling out of him now. "I gave you a chance to change... and you used it to take control. D**n me if I ever trust you again." He pointed at the sword. "Pick it up!"

Rufus just looked at his son and shook his head.
"So all this time and you claim to know me so well... I do care about you son... But I cant allow you to destroy our family... True, our world was dying... but not our family, YOU are causing that to happen though." He said, kicking the sword aside.
Rufus just looked at him a moment, then faster than his son's eyes could follow, he whipped out another automatic pistol and fired, lodging three rounds into "Jared's" shoulder, spinning him like a top.
"You also forgot that I carry quite a few guns on me at all times..." He said sadly, lowering the gun and walking off.
