The fight continued right out from Nibelheim, stretching across the continent all the way to Edge. They seemed to be at a stalemate, until the Seraph Aberration got the upper hand by playing dirty. Both violet and white comets continued to clash despite the unfair advantage. The violet being was knocked right out of the sky, straight down into Edge's streets. The impact sent debris flying everywhere.
The eight-winged monster looked back to Nibelheim's direction, and took off in a blaze of white. What for, was unclear.
The creature in purple managed to take on his human disguise, despite the agony that monster had inflicted on him. He suspected that he wasn't in Nibelheim anymore.
If the creature didn't kill him, the pain of his wounds certainly will! OW!
He was sure the impact could be felt around the area.

Tifa wanted out of Seventh Heaven; that was for all she was certain. Out of the bar, away from Cloud, Fuyuki, Denzel and Marlene. Just a few days ago, she had found a black feather by the doorstep. It was only then she realized she wasn't safe there... what if he was still there? What if he was still watching? The one winged man she met in Nibelheim... who took her blood to create those... things?
No matter. She needed some fresh air all the same. Tifa took the armored van and drove unknowingly across town. She didn't care where the road would take her or where the destination would lie - Edge was a pretty small town compared to Midgar. She could find her way back... when she felt like it.
Suddenly there was a crash. More like something fell from the sky and had impacted on the hard ground below... like a meteor or something. The sudden impact had caused Tifa to swurve, nearly loosing control of the van. Tifa hit the brakes and came to a sudden halt. She looked around and saw the impact site.
[glow=blue,2,300]"What the..."[/glow] she murmured, a fusion of fear and curiousity merging into one. She got out of the van and headed towards whatever had crashed. Some people ran away, others were injured due to the debris. Tifa was the only one who even dared to come close... was that really a smart idea? Observing closer, Tifa noticed it was a man lying in that crater... How is that even possible... the impact could've killed him! she thought, but she just shook her head and knelt down beside him checking for vital signs.
[glow=blue,2,300]"Somebody! Get help! Call an ambulance!"[/glow] she called out to any bystanders. [glow=blue,2,300]"A-are... are you okay?"[/glow] She asked the man lying on the ground, trying to keep him comfortable as possible. It was a wonder as to how he survived... it just, wasn't possible. Tifa then cursed inaudably to herself having realized she hadn't brought her cure materia with her... what luck...

The man's face was familiar for some reason....
He started to stir, heaving himself to make himself sit up. It was clear that he was bleeding, but not the traditional red. His blood was a glowing purple. How was he getting up with those angry wounds?
It was clear he wasn't human.
His purple gaze finally noticed Tifa, and he tilted his head slightly in confusion. Wait...that face....
Vincent?! No, Vincent did not have violet eyes, or a violet cloak, and he certainly didn't wear full body armor.
What was this creature?

Tifa had finally taken notice of the man and realized he was still breathing. Good for him... he reminded her of an old ageless friend of hers. Of course, with obvious differences. As he got up, Tifa was quite taken back, not because of the fact he had survived the impact, but because of his wounds... a glowing substance as purple as his own eyes and attire replaced the crimson red that one would normally bleed out...
[glow=blue,2,300]"Who... no, what... what are you?" [/glow]she stated, pure shock just seeping out of her. It was painstakingly obvious he wasn't exactly normal - no-one would survive this and just about pick himself up and turn to leave. No normal person emitted purple-ish blood, unless...
No, she thought. Better leave the answers to him than to my own imagination... She got up and took a step back, uncertain if she should aid or provoke him. What if he was one of those... monsters? Like the winged man she encountered in Nibelheim. For now it was better to be safe than sorry, and for now shhe just wondered whether he was friend of foe and where his intentions truly lied. As a precaution, she clenched her fists and hid them from the stranger, ready if a fight was called for.
Now to hope a fight wasn't called for...

He managed to stand up, and great violet demon wings exploded out from his back, the creature suddenly taking flight with ease. The strange creature took a quick look around while still in the air, then landed back in the crater, the mighty wings vanishing beneath the cloak.
The man...beast...thing suddenly spun around, and fixed his inhuman gaze on Tifa, "Who are you?"

[glow=blue,2,300]"I asked you first, buddy!"[/glow] She retorted... perhaps it wasn't such a good idea provoking someone with the similarities of a demon. When the man took flight Tifa felt compelled to run as fast as she could away from here, but instead she stood her ground. Was that the smart move?
But then again, the more she witnessed, the more she realized how striking the similarities between him and her old friend, Vincent Valentine, were. Both were, no doubt, odd looking individuals. Both could take on demon forms. And if Vincent was good at heart, then perhaps...
[glow=blue,2,300]"I'm Tifa... Tifa Lockhart. And you crashed here... what happened?"[/glow] she replied. As much as she wanted to know the answers, she still didn't want to let her guard down. The stranger was still, however, a stranger to her...

"I see."
Before he could answer her, curling black feathers drifted down to their position. The feathers seemed to be in the middle of decomposing. He looked up, and the familiar eight-winged terror drifted there in place, black feathered wings lazily flapping. His face looked familiar too....
Sephiroth?! Wait, this guy also wore armor, and had seven more wings. He also had a double-bladed scythe, one blade on each end. They were set up to look like some kind of twisted circular saw.
"I am what happened, human."
That...thing...had overheard! Duorzum snarled at the drifting monster, looking ready to blast it's brains out.

"I am what happened, human." That...thing...had overheard! Duorzum snarled at the drifting monster, looking ready to blast it's brains out. Genesis watched with detached awe, he was no longer shocked at what he now saw, now that he knew it wasn't the real Sephiroth... [glow=red,2,300] "so...their clones...i see Hollander wasn't the only one of Hojo's students to practice the 'forbidden areas' of science..."[/glow] Genesis looked down at the Vincent clone and heaved a sigh of relief... [glow=red,2,300] "for a moment i thought he had escaped..."[/glow] Genesis glanced back down to the reports his TRUE self and sent him... [glow=red,2,300] "Duorzum..."[/glow] Interesting approach...they cloned CHAOS while he was still partially in human form...that explaines his demonic apperiance...Genesis glanced back at the obvious Sephiroth Clone then back to his second report... "so...Hojo was able to get a sample of Sephiroth's genetic material from when he was incased in mako...that explaines alot..."[glow=red,2,300] "...SERAPH...interesting specimin..."[/glow] Suddenly Genesis noticed a woman standing near Duorzum... He squinted until he recognized her... [glow=red,2,300] "YOU!?" [/glow] He exclaimed in a whisper, [glow=red,2,300] "how does she keep finding me?"[/glow] Genesis drew back from the edge of the roof... hmmmmmm [glow=red,2,300] "This complicates things...but not too badly...better for me to stay hidden for now...."[/glow] Genesis sank back into the shadows of the rooftop and watched the conflict begin to grow... i'll have to approach that Vincent clone later...when he's alone...He thought to himself... |

Tifa's heart nearly leapt at the sight of black feathers falling gracefully at the ground surrounding them... could it be? God, please, not him... Withoout hesistation, Tifa took on an opposing stance and looked on at the purple-eyed stranger. His predatory gaze was towards the sky, and it was only until then she noticed something. She couldn't make who or whatever it was out, but from what she could see, it had eight, black-feathered wings, and it drifted effortlessly overhead.
[glow=blue,2,300]"Friend of yours?"[/glow] She murmured in a sarcastic tone. Staying behind at the bar didn't sound so bad as it used to anymore, but now was now, and now she was involved. Of course, running away was always an option - it's just she chose not to take it. All she knew was that those two were against each other, and preferably, she'd rather side with the one who resembled her old friend.
[glow=blue,2,300]"Hey you! Catch!"[/glow]She called out to the purple-eyed man. She took from her pockets a shining green magic materia and chucked it towards him, seeing he had the better advantage.

Duorzum was about to catch it, until he found himself plowed right back into the ground by a white comet. That white comet was the Seraph Aberration, the creature catching the materia while it was still airborne. A sizzling noise and smoke alerted his attention to the materia. It was burning his hand!
He dropped it, the hand still smoking. What was that all about?
A red comet suddenly barreled into the eight-winged beast, then a golden comet, and a blue one. The monster went flying, until he straightened himself out in the air.
"YOU THREE!?"
There were three others just like Duorzum, except the color schemes were different. One was a golden-white, with feathered wings and a golden defiant stare. One was completely black, with a devilish smirk on his face and piercing red eyes. The last one was clearly mechanical, but it wasn't like that at first glance. His color scheme was a dark silver and gunmetal gray, with a huge armor plating over the spot where a protomateria would be.
The golden one sneered, "We got 'im!"
The Seraph fled, but the three saviors followed in a flash of their respective colors. Something huge rumbled by, and it was flying so low, the rocks were skipping about like mad. It was an airship, but it was equipped with large guns everywhere! The ship was shaped like an aerodynamic egg, and the word "Skystomper" was on its sides. It too chased after the seraph freak.
Another blur of color streaked by Tifa and Duo, like a flashy aurora. This one was on the ground. Huge multi-colored paw prints were on the ground where it took off.
Duo, in his human disguise, sat back up and partially smirked, "Allies."

Genesis sat up straight... so...there are more of them...Genesis tapped the micro-recorder on the hilt of his sword, he intended to reasearch this later... [glow=red,2,300] "interesting...it seems someone has been busy making copies"[/glow] |

Two more adversaries were approaching and Tifa gave a look of dismay as Duo missed the materia, only to have it fall into enemy hands. But then something peculiar happened - the materia started to burn his hand!
[glow=blue,2,300]"Strange..."[/glow] Tifa murmured, taking into account that at least they had a weakness of some sort. What she couldn't understand was that why where the three after Duo? Guess the questions should wait before World War III came to Edge. Some sort of aircraft came hovering passed them... if it wasn't heavily armed with weapons and guns, Tifa would've thought it was Cid who came to their rescue. Shame it wasn't.
She ran up a wall and quickly climbed the short building. Tifa ran up another wall and kicked off, attempting to gain a higher altittude. Stretching forth her fingers towards the strange-shaped aircraft, she conjured a strong fire spell towards it... as they say, it was better to take out the big guns first... although, this was a bit too literal.

The ship had a defense mechanism. The plates that were the armor of the ship suddenly turned over, revealing the plate undersides, that had a mirror-like coating. The fireball bounced off the metallic coating and into the sky. That was wise.
The plates flipped back over, and the ship proceeded to shoot the fleeing eight-winged monster with a beam of energy. It rumbled by, slow as it was, but it was indeed powerful.
Duo watched it go, "They'll be on Seraph's trail for quite sometime."

Genesis heald his breath as the woman bounded right past him, intent on the airship... that...was too close...[glow=red,2,300] "i need a better vantage point..."[/glow] he grumbled... Genesis carefully ducked inside the building and flew down the stair way, emerging a few seconds later at the buildings exit... He spotted Duorzum by himself and decided now was as good a time as any to approach him.... Genesis quickly tucked his wing under his coat and made sure it was well hidden... i dont want him to think that I am one of those things...he thought... He walked right up to the seeming demon... [glow=red,2,300] "Excuse me, might i have a moment of your time?"[/glow] |

Another look of dismay came to Tifa's face as the great fireball repelled from the strange looking airship. She shuddered at the thought that it was some strange extraterrestrial aircraft that was supposed to be hunting some 'demonic' presence down... no, that just wouldn't be realistic, would it?
Those thingscontinued to go after the other eight-winged being. How strange... what did it want with him? Whatever the reason, Tifa continued to follow anyways in the direction where she last saw Duo. She then let out a faint gasp the millesecond she layed her eyes upon a red-coated man; a man she met one too many times during her travels recently: Genesis.
She slipped behind an old crate that stood nearby - she was beginning to regret having let out that gasp. What if they heard her? What if they spotted her? Was Duo in league with Genesis? So many things came flooding Tifa's thoughts. All she could do now was wait and listen, and act whenever the time was right.
Craters and demons and flying ships and now this... I'm never going to hear the end of this she thought despairingly
