Sephiroth looked over his shoulder and a sudden recognition flared from his genetic memories and he knew what the creature was.
"Of course they would stoop this low..." He said, then turned his attention back to Horus. So he couldnt see it, Sephiroth's wing scooped a handful of shattered glass into his hand, he then launched himself through the air at Horus and raised the blade like he was going to attack, then, when he was close enough, he whipped his hand around and sent the glass shards flying right into Horus' open eyes.
--------------------------
Tseng hugged Jared and the baby and he couldnt help but know that Jared was speaking the truth, he HAD grown to feel like a part of their family since he'd taken charge of them... He HAD to save Jared...
((Tseng, Jared and Hope go with Tifa to the Chapel))

Horus yelled in surprise and consternation, swiping at his eyes to remove the glass... He could feel the air rushing before his nemesis as Sephiroth closed in... he had no choice but to retreat, springing away from rooftop to rooftop, as fast and far as his legs would take him, bellowing his hatred... "This is not the end, HALF-BREED! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!"
Isis sighed as he disappeared into the distance... Will he EVER develop mind enough to stop resorting to cliches?! I don't even mind having to tie his shoes for him... just drop the d**n melodrama, I beg you!
She saw a silver glint descending through the air and reached up for it... her sword, falling from the rooftop. At least Horus had possessed enough presence of mind to leave it for her as she finished her fight... but it seemed to be drawing to a close anyway as Ankh pounced on Cloud, dragging him to the alley pavement with a pleased snarl, forcing him to drop the plasma cannon... Cloud swung the Buster at the creature, but the metal merely bounced off the creature's hide, and it drew back a paw to swipe at him...
Isis popped her disjointed knee back into place and pried glass splinters from her collarbone, watching what would surely be the end of this planet's champion... next time she would return, healed from this absurd scrape, and finish off the Alpha Male as well... where WAS he, anyway? She began scanning the area cautiously, standing against a wall, her blade held carefully before her...

From out of the sky, Sephiroth dropped like a silver-haired falcon onto the monster's back, Stabbing his sword straight through it's hide, burying it all the way up to the hilt and violently twisted it around. He then lept straight up in the air, ripping the sword out at a different angle and tearing the creature's armored hide up. The abombination landed next to Cloud and swung his sword once, whipping the creature's blood off of it.
"So Patran, once I've finished with your beastie here... You have the choice of joining your brother... Or joining the rest of your race in extinction."

The creature moaned and fell limp, mutilated to death. Cloud sprang to his feet, more confused than he could remember being in all his life.
Hold the phone. I must be missing something, or else I'm still dreaming upstairs in the tavern, because it looks to me like Sephiroth just SAVED my life...
"Fool!" Isis spat. "The creature was moments from destroying your worst enemy... I see you are indeed your mother's son!" She raised her sword above her shoulder, preparing to strike, edging towards a certain something her brother had left behind... "Will you do as she did... throw away your p**sable excuse for a life just for a wild, futile stab at revenge?"
Cloud divided his sword in two as a tense moment of hostile silence passed, Isis circling towards Sephiroth as he countered her. Ah... now I get it. But even so... This is so weird and wrong on so many levels. He waited for the opportune moment to leap into the fray...
Suddenly, she kicked out at something behind the allion's corpse, out of Sephiroth's range of sight, as she sheathed her katana... the plasma cannon bounced off the dead monster and flew into the air, and she snagged it as it ricocheted towards her, firing it at semi-automatic speeds towards her enemy, screaming defiantly...
This is most definitely not the opportune moment. Cloud dove again for cover.

Sephiroth moved in a blur of motion, his wing launching him from side-to-side in the alley so he could shove off the walls and dodge the shots. After a moment, he rolled behind a dumpster and rammed his shoulder into it, pushing the huge waste recepticle down the alley, taking all the shots meant for him. "Your kind brings me FAR more pleasure to pummel than Cloud EVER will!" He shouted as he slammed it right into Isis, then tipped it over, trying to pin her underneath it...

Isis grunted as the recepticle slammed into her, and the corpse of the allion faded into the strange blue glow of a defeated Summon...
She blasted a hole through the Dumpster with the Fatal Diety so it could not pin her. The ragged, hot edges of the hole singed her as it fell... She propelled herself away from the recepticle, kicking it back towards her nemesis as she went, slamming it into him... Her wing pumped furiously as she leapt to the nearest convenient roof and sprang away after her brother, silently vowing to finish him later...
Cloud emerged from his cover and had a hectic moment of internal debate about what to do with the figure standing before him.
"Hey! How'd you escape THIS time? Bribe a Boy Scout?" He braced himself for attack.

Sephiroth did not turn for a moment, he just watched until Isis disappeared from sight. Then slowly, VERY deliberately... He turned to face his mortal enemy.
"You would laugh if you knew how close you were Cloud. I was brought here by my nephew... In order to kill those Patran scum..."

"Yeah, I gathered they weren't exactly buddies of yours," Cloud lobbed back. "Seems like you have an absolute gift for making enemies, Sephiroth... and also like you have a very stupid nephew."
Jared knew exactly what Sephiroth was capable of. He saw him slaughter his way through all his allies in the future... yet he STILL woke him? What possessed that kid?
Either the boy is crazy, or those Patran things are even worse than I thought.
"Look, this entire 'I kill you and you come back less than a day later' business is starting to get VERY f***king old, so why don't you make things easy on us and overdose on sleeping pills or something?" Cloud was surprised at himself... he hadn't been such a smartaleck since... since before Aeris died. The Sacrifice last night... "Seriously, though... I'd just as soon get this over with and call it a day. Preferably, a several-month-long day in which I am not faced to stab, slash, or otherwise mutilate anything else that happens to have silver hair."

Sephiroth got right in Cloud's face.
"Make no mistake my black sheep of a "brother"... The only reason I'm here now is so that mother's legacy isnt tainted by these scum... I hate you Strife... But I hate them slightly more. THey are a threat to my kind's continuation and I'll not have ANYONE destroy this world... Unless its me. And make no mistake... The only reason I didnt allow that creature to devour you was because I wanted the satisfaction of ripping you apart myself. Our story is not over Cloud, it never will be until you die, thats just the way it is." He said. "But not right now."

"Not right now?" Cloud repeated darkly, backing away a few steps and bringing the sword between them. Standing in any close proximity to this Nightmare was not his idea of intelligence. "Why not? Have an appointment?" I just want to get this over with...

"As a matter of fact I do, Cloud, and not to sound rude... But it takes infinite presidence over killing you." He said, blatantly turning his back on him and heading towards where he'd left Tseng and the kids... He knew they werent there, but he would be able to track them down.

A large sword blocked the Nightmare's way as Cloud vaulted over him, barring his path. "What do those freaks want with you? More importantly, what do they want with me?"
He stared hard at his longtime nemesis. "What are they?" You aren't getting past me, especially not until I have some answers.

Sephiroth just grinned at Cloud and sighed. "Strife... Dont you remember what curiosity did to the cat? Now I have a pressing matter to attend to, but if you insist on getting between me and my destination... I'll have to make time." He said, raising his sword to cross it with Cloud's.
-----------------
Suddenly, the truck came tearing out of the alley and its brakes screeched loudly as Tseng saw someone in front of him in the road... But the truck wasnt in the best of condition and the front grill struck Cloud Strife hard, sending him flying up the road, unconcsiousness inevitably resulted.

Jared nodded approvingly. "Nice work... although when I said 'crash the party', I didn't exactly mean literally."
Jared unstrapped himself and clambered through the cab's back window, shoving Tifa out through the tailgate. "Sorry for the blatant show of ungratefulness, lady... I'll send you a fruit basket."
He yanked the tailgate shut again and called to his uncle. "Get in..."
He saw Cloud on the pavement ahead of them, stirring and groaning... "As in, fast."
Jared crawled back into his seat and strapped in. "Soon as he gets into the back... do this like Falco."
He braced himself.
