With the death of Hojo, the Turks, and the brutal execution of President Shinra, the plan for Midgar Revolution was almost fulfilled. Only two obstacles were still standing between the rebels and victory: Rufus Shinra and Sephiroth, two of the most fearsome adversaries they would ever have to face.
The martyrs and heroes of Midgard had already tracked Rufus during the previous days - he was disguising as Ashlyn - so they searched frantically for him among the crowd in the Main Square... but he was nowhere to be found. In fact, the new president of the Shinra company crawled away as soon as the first accuses started to come out. He managed to reach the weapon factory, where the engineers have been mounting the Mako Beam on a giant walking robot. Rufus decided to skip the testing phase. He hopped right into the driver seat, closed the protective dome that surrounded the cabin and started walking towards Sector 8, crushing cars and houses beneath the huge metallic feet of his new toy.
Meanwhile, in the Main Square, the rebels decided not to waste their time, and went on with the accusation of Mya, whom they believed to be Sephiroth. Unfortunately, he preceeded them. By the time they started the forum again, Mya tossed her disguise away and revealed herself.
Sephiroth: “Enough! I am sick of this child’s play.”
The crowd, in unison: “Oh my god, it’s Sephiroth!”
Sephiroth: “I let you ignorant fools have your fun for a while... but now it’s over. You will no longer stand in my way!”
At the end of that sentence, Sephiroth killed Lukas and Yren with a single slash of his sword, then he lunged at Evan and pierced him exactly through his heart.
Sephiroth: “Your souls mean nothing to me! You are nothing but useless sacks of walking flesh... is there ANYONE among you who dares challenging me?”
Noelle: “And you are nothing but a selfish and megalomaniac bastard! What happened to the Sephiroth I once knew? Have you completely lost your mind?”
Sephiroth: “Oh, little Zack... you come out of the darkness, at last. Do you think this will change anything? Do you think you have the POWER to change something?”
Noelle, revealing herself as Zack: “I may not be more powerful than you, but I know this, Sephiroth: what kind of SOLDIER would I be if I didn’t try? ”
Sephiroth: “Ha! I have been chosen to rule this planet. Come and try to stop me! Ha Ha Ha!”
Zack charged towards Sephiroth with his sword out, resulting in a violent clash of the two blades. A fierce battle ensued. Blow after blow, Sephiroth’s superior skill was starting to tear Zack’s defenses apart, until the poor SOLDIER found himself disarmed and almost fatally wounded, while his opponent showed nothing more than a few scratches.
Sephiroth: “Do you see it now? Your efforts are pointless. I am the most powerful being in the world! Now give me your soul!”
Sephiroth attacked Zack one last time, ending his life forever. As his spirit vanished into the Lifestream, something in Sephiroth’s pocket began to throb and resonate. It was the Black Materia, finally charged with the souls of 4 brave warriors, their destiny stolen forever.
With the new powers he acquired, a metamorphosis started within Sephiroth’s body. A huge black wing had grown behind his right shoulder... the One Winged Angel rebirth was complete. People begun to scream and disperse throughout the plaza, terrified by the maniacal laugh that their new enemy let out.
All of a sudden though, a green laser-like beam cut through the buildings and hit Sephiroth, burning a large part of his newly acquired feathers.
Rufus: “Hey birdie, don’t think I’ll let you ruin my plans just because of who you are. This city is MINE!”
Sephiroth, visibly annoyed: “You again... when will this world get rid of you incompetent Shinra idiots?”
Rufus: “Do you like my new toy, Seph? Look at it closely - it will be the last thing you see in this world.”
The robot fired another beam, but this time the one winged angel dodged it and prepared to launch a dive attack on his enemy. Rufus saw this coming and maneuvered the construct away from the trajectory, then he fired another beam, which was deflected by Sephiroth’s sword. The skill level and power of the two fighters were similar, no one could guess the outcome at that point. It was then that Sephiroth decided to use again the powers of the Black Materia.
“SUPERNOVA!” He shouted, and a massive flaming sphere appeared out of thin air, moving at extreme speed towards the Shinra robot. Rufus was caught by surprise and sustained the blow, suffering heavy damage, but the Mako Beam was still operative. Seeing that Sephiroth spent a lot of energy to cast that spell, Rufus immediately fired his weapon at maximum power as a counterattack. The green laser hit Sephiroth directly, removing almost the entire right part of his upper body, including the wing and his right arm… but it was not enough to kill him.
It was a desperate attack, as it used the last Mako reserves of the weapon. Sephiroth regenerated himself with a healing spell, weak, but sufficient to reconstruct part of his body. His anger grew alongside his madness, when he realized he was not invulnerable. Still, he jumped on the Shinra robot and broke into the cabin where Rufus was, and ended his life with a single slash.
Sephiroth, with renewed strength after the absorption of a new soul: ”And now... none shall stand between me and my goal! You will all be annihilated!” - then he pointed his finger towards Jaret - ”Starting with... her.”
He recognized the figure of Aeris, her clothes teared by the explosions occurred in the previous battles. Sephiroth’s sword slid through Aeris’s chest almost without effort, and he was regaining even more strength.
The surviving bystanders had almost lost all hope. They realized soon enough that none of them had the power to stand against the almighty one winged angel, who would soon have fully recharged his Black Materia, at which point the world would be his.
Sephiroth: ”George! Where are you hiding! I know you are still here...”
In his mad rage, Sephiroth tore down almost the entirety of what remained of Sector 8. His thirst for soul and blood seemed endless, and finally he found George hiding inside a small house. His fate was no different, for he was nothing else than an additional soul for the Black Materia.
When Sephiroth was about to become unstoppable, a miracle happened. With her dying breath and the help of the Holy Materia, Aeris summoned the most powerful entities on the Planet, the WEAPONs. Two huge constructs, one made of red metal and the other green, landed in the middle of the Main Square. All the materia and the mako in a radius of 2 kilometers was absorbed by the Emerald Weapon, while the Ruby Weapon attacked Sephiroth directly. Even with all his strength, he couldn’t possibly stand a fight against the two massive entities... or could he?
After a sequence of blows, Sephiroth managed to tear down the Ruby Weapon, though not without a huge effort on his part. The Emerald Weapon, however, had charged his ultimate attack, the Aire Tam Storm, which was discharged on the enemy at maximum power. Incredibly enough, not even this was sufficient to end Sephiroth’s life. As the Emerald Weapon needed time to recharge its attack, the survivors remembered that a single soul was the only thing Sephiroth needed for them to be completely defeated.
One of them, though, noticed a sparkling red materia in his pocket... It was Peter, or should we call her Yuffie, the ninja of Wutai. Fate’s will was that the red materia that Yuffie was then holding in her hands was the most powerful summon materia that ever existed, also known as “Knights of the Round”.
“ULTIMATE END”: this was the vocal command to activate the supreme power of the summon materia. A legion of spirit knights assaulted Sephiroth, ravaging and destroying his body once and for all.
It was finally over... Midgar and the entire world would finally meet peace. In the end, Yuffie went away with all the materia she could take back from the weapons, while Ted, Alec, Lois and Edna took control of the city, with the purpose of rebuilding it for the better.
