Sephiroth

One Winged Angel

Crisis Core

Sephiroth: Where is Angeal?

Zack: I thought he was fighting around here...

Sephiroth: Humph, so he's gone, too.

Zack: What? Wait, what does that mean?

Sephiroth: It means Angeal has betrayed us as well.

---

- It's been a while, Zack.

---

Zack: Are you pushing another assignment on me?

Sephiroth: My apologies.

Zack: Whatever.

---

Sephiroth: They believe your emotions will hamper your judgement.

Zack: Well, of course!

Sephiroth: That's why I'm going, too.

---

Zack: That's just petty. Are you telling me that Genesis is supporting that idiotic cause?

Sephiroth: I would prefer not to believe it, but...

Zack: Then don't believe it.

Sephiroth: Very well, I won't.

---

Zack: Did you find something out?

Sephiroth: Angeal has been sighted.

Zack: So, it's search and destroy?

Sephiroth: The army is mobilizing, but there's still time. You and I will find them before they do, and...

Zack: And WHAT?

Sephiroth: ...fail to eliminate them.

Zack: For real?

Sephiroth: Yes, for real.

Zack: Excellent! Probably!

---

Sephiroth: The company training room...

Zack: Hm?

Sephiroth: We used to sneak in there for fun, when the 2nds were out... Genesis, Angeal, and I.

Zack: You guys were pretty tight.

Sephiroth: Humph. I wonder...

---

Sephiroth: "LOVELESS" Act I.

Genesis: You remembered.

Sephiroth: How can I not when you've beaten it into my head?

---

- Ha! Is that the best you can do?

---

Zack: So, was everything alright?

Sephiroth: Yes, as far as Genesis was concerned. But, as for Angeal...

Zack: Angeal? What happened?

Sephiroth: Later, I received one of his famous lectures.

Zack: About what?

Sephiroth: Always the same. Discipline, dreams, honor, et cetera...

Zack: Ah, one of those, huh?

---

- It was Hollander's experiment. The result was a normal child. Which meant he failed. However ...

- The wound was superficial. But for some reason, Genesis wasn't healing. The man who treated him was... Hollander.

- Why couldn't I be the donor...?

---

Sephiroth: "Project Genesis." Contrary to this report, Genesis showed clear signs of change.

Zack: Degrading?

Sephiroth: Not only that.

Zack: Copies...?

Sephiroth: Abominations…

---

Genesis: There is no hate, only joy

For you are beloved by the goddess

Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds

Sephiroth: "LOVELESS" again? You never change.

Genesis: Three friends go into battle. One is captured, one flies away, the one that is left becomes a hero.

Sephiroth: A common story.

Genesis: If we were to enact it, would I be the one to play the hero, or would you?

Sephiroth: It's all yours.

Genesis: Indeed. After all, your glory should have been mine.

Sephiroth: How petty...

Genesis: In hindsight, perhaps. Now, what I want most... is the "gift of the goddess."

---

Zack: Sorry to keep you waiting.

Sephiroth: You're late.

Angeal: Sephiroth, have you lost weight?

Sephiroth: Humph.

---

- Mission failed. This goes on your permanent record.

- Our orders are to investigate the reactor. They mention nothing of...old friends. Depending on what happens, I may abandon Shinra. Until then, I'll remain loyal to SOLDIER.

---

Sephiroth: So, how does it feel? To be home after all this time? I have no hometown. I wouldn't know.

Zack: Uh...what about family?

Sephiroth: My mother's name is Jenova. She died shortly after I was born. My father… Why am I talking about this? Come on, let's go.

---

- This landscape... I could swear I've seen it before.

- You average SOLDIER members are mako-infused humans. You're enhanced,but you're still human. But then, what are those things? Their mako energy levels are exponentially higher than yours.

- Could it be...that I...? ...was created the same way? Am I the same as these monsters?

- I knew, ever since I was a child... I was not like the others. I knew mine was a special existence. But this... This was not what I meant.

- Am I...a human being?

- Whether your words...are lies created to deceive me... or the truth, that I have sought all my life... it makes no difference. You will rot.

- My mother's name, Jenova... The Jenova Project... Could this be a coincidence...? Professor Gast... Why didn't you tell me? Why did you die...?

- Mother, let's take back the planet together. I...I had an epiphany. Let's go to the promised land... Mother...

- Mother, they're here again. You should have ruled this planet. You were stronger, smarter. But then they came... Those inferior dullards... They came and took this planet away from you. But don't be sad, Mother. I am with you now...

- I am the chosen one. I have been chosen to rule this planet.

---

Zack: Hey, Sephiroth... Do 1sts get some kind of special treatment?

Sephiroth: Why are you asking me?

Zack: Well, you're not your average SOLDIER member, so...

---

Sephiroth: Long ago, catastrophe struck this planet. Your ancestors survived by scurrying about and hiding in fear. The planet escaped certain doom through the sacrifice of the Cetra. After which, your kind would multiply and assume control over the planet as if nothing had happened. Now, the Cetra are but a memory that exists only within the pages of history.

Zack: So what does that have to do with you?

Sephiroth: Don't you see? There is Jenova, an Ancient unearthed from a 2000-year-old stratum. And then, there is the Jenova Project. The aim of the project was to create a human being with the powers of a Cetra. Thus, they created me.

FFVII

- You ignorant traitor. I'll tell you. This Planet originally belonged to the Cetra. Cetra was a itinerant race. They would migrate in, settle the Planet, then move on...

At the end of their harsh, hard journey, they would find the Promised Land and supreme happiness.

But, those that disliked the journey appeared. Those who stopped their migrations built shelters and elected to lead an easier life.

They took that which the Cetra and the planet had made without giving back one whit in return!

Those are your ancestors.

- Long ago, disaster struck this planet.

Your ancestors escaped... They survived because they hid. The Planet was saved by sacrificing the Cetra. After that, your ancestors continued to increase. Now all that's left of the Cetra is in these reports.

- Don't you get it? An Ancient named Jenova was found in the geological stratum of 2000 years ago. The Jenova Project. The Jenova Project wanted to produce people with the powers of the Ancients...... no, the Cetra. ...I am the one that was produced.

- Ha, ha, ha...... They've come again, mother. With her superior power, knowledge, and magic, Mother was destined to become the ruler of this Planet. But they... Those worthless creatures are stealing the planet from Mother But now I'm here with you so don't worry.

- Ha, ha, ha... my sadness? What do I have to be sad about? I am the chosen one. I have been chosen to be the leader of this Planet. I have orders to take this planet back from you stupid people for the Cetra. What am I supposed to be sad about?

- ......After a long sleep... ...the time...... ...time has...... come...

- Being here brings back memories. Are you going to participate in the Reunion?

- Jenova will be at the Reunion. Jenova will join the Reunion becoming a calamity from the skies.

- ...I see. I don't think you have the right to participate. I will go North past Mt. Nibel. If you wish to find out... then follow...

- A lost treasure house of knowledge. The wisdom of the Ancients... I am becoming one with the Planet.

- You stupid fools. You have never even thought about it. All the spirit energy of this Planet. All its wisdom... knowledge... I will meld with it all. I will become one with it... it will become one with me.

- The way...... lies here. Only death awaits you all. But do not fear. For it is through death that a new spirit energy is born. Soon, you will live again as a part of me.

- So cold. I am always by your side. Come. Splendid. A treasure house of knowledge...

- At that which adds to the knowledge of... I am becoming one with the Planet.

- ...Mother... ...It's almost time. Soon... we will become one.

---

Aerith: How do you intend to become one with the Planet?

Sephiroth: It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury. ...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha ha ha. And at the center of that injury, will be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with all the energy of the Planet, I will become a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet... I will cease to exist as I am now... Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every soul.

---

- Behold that mural. The Ultimate Destructive Magic... Meteor.

- ...Ah, but I have. I'm far superior to the Ancients. I became a traveler of the Lifestream and gained the knowledge and wisdom of the Ancients. I also gained the knowledge and wisdom of those after the extinction of the Ancients. And soon, I will create the future.

- Hmm...... She's thinking of interfering? She will be a difficult one, don't you think?

- Do not worry. Soon the girl will become part of the Planet's energy. All that is left is to go North. The 'Promised Land' waits for me over the snowy fields. There, I will become a new being by uniting with the planet. As will this girl......

- What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me you have feelings too?

---

Sephiroth: Ha, ha, ha...... Stop acting as if you were sad. There's no need to act as though you're angry either. Because, Cloud. You are...

Jenova: Because, you are...... a puppet.

---

- Oh, is that so? You are just a puppet... You have no heart... and cannot feel any pain... How can there be any meaning in the memory of such a being? What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion.

- Five years ago you were... ...constructed by Hojo, piece by piece, right after Nibelheim was burnt. A puppet made up of vibrant Jenova cells, her knowledge, and the power of Mako. An incomplete Sephiroth-clone. Not even given a number. ...That is your reality. Ha, ha, ha......

- Ha, ha, ha... Tifa... Why are you so worried and scared by those words? Hmm... Shall I show everyone here what's in your heart?

Advent Children

- Don’t pretend you’re sad. Why tremble with anger that’s not even there? Face it, Cloud. All you are is an empty puppet.

- Good to see you, Cloud.

---

Cloud: Sephiroth – what do you want?

Sephiroth: The last thoughts of geostigma’s dead. Those Remnants will join the Lifestream and girdle the planet – choking it, corroding it. What I want, Cloud, is to sail the darkness of the cosmos with this planet as my vessel, just as my mother did long ago.Then one day we’ll find a new planet and on its soil we’ll create a shining future.

Cloud: What about this planet?

Sephiroth: Well, that’s up to you, Cloud.

---

- I’ve thought of a wonderful present for you. Shall I give you despair?

- On your knees. I want you to beg for forgiveness.

- Is this the pain you felt before, Cloud? Let me remind you. This time, you won’t forget.

- Tell me what you cherish most. Give me the pleasure of taking it away?

- I will… never be a memory.

Remake

Cloud: You're not real ... you're ... dead!

Sephiroth: I am?

Cloud: I killed you with my own --

Sephiroth: Oh you need not remind me. It was the crowning moment of our time together. But that was then, and this is now. I have a favor to ask. Our beloved planet is dying. Slowly. Silently. Painfully. Can you bear to see the planet suffer ... Cloud?

---

- Were the planet to die, so many things would be lost. Your hometown that burns so bright ... The sound of her voice pleading for me to spare you. The shiver of her flesh yielding to cold steal. That which binds us together would be no more and I would be loath to live in such a world. Which is why I must ask you this one favor. Don't worry. It's a simple thing. Run, Cloud ... Run away. You have to leave ... You have to live.

---

Cloud: You bastard.

Sephiroth: Good, Cloud. Very good. Hold on to that hatred.

---

- I am ... your everything. Oh Cloud. There's still so much to be done.

- The reunion ... Is nothing to fear.

- Within my veins flows the blood of ancients. This planet ... is my birthright.

- You have failed again, I see. But through suffering, you will grow strong. Isn't that what you want?

- Mother ... Together we will reclaim our world.

- Don't deny me. Embrace me.

- A touching reunion.

- Those who look with clouded eyes see nothing but shadows.

- All born are bound to her. Should this world be unmade, so too shall her children.

- Listen. Destiny comes.

- I'm waiting, Cloud.

- Careful now. That which lies ahead ... does not yet exist. Our world will become a part of it ... one day. But I ... will not end. Nor will I have you end.

---

Cloud: This is ...?

Sephiroth: The edge of creation. Cloud, lend me your strength. Let us defy destiny ... together.

---

- Not yet.

- Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you. Perhaps. But what will you do with it? Let's see.
