Atop the floating Gagazet ruins, sparks are produce by the clash of metal on metal. One gunman, one swordsman; both having done this battle in their previous world. His red & black coat now shredded and shaped into wings, Vincent Valentine became overwhelmed with the essence of chaos, allowing it to transform him into this devilish form. His opponent's pale, silver hair flows with the wind; SOLDIER uniform still untarnished during this bout.

Vincent points his firearm steadily, trying not to miss his enemy as they nearly warp from side to side, closing the distance between themselves and Valentine. When he is finally able to antipate the katana-wielder's next location, Vincent squeezes the trigger to let out a flaring burst. The shot meets its target, though the swordsman swipes at the flaring energy to dispel it.

Without hesistancy, Valentine whirls through the air to avoid being cut by the opponent, now aiming his weapon downward to release another non-elemental blast. This shot fails to find the intended target, however, instead creating a gaping series of streams on the mountainous path. Vincents realizes that his enemy had shifted upwards onto a set of large stones, now able to leap off in an effort to reach Vincent in midair.

None of Vincent's attacks have the chance to damage the bladesman. Each shot from the cannon is negated by the silver-haired combatant's graceful strokes; he cuts the blasts just as they get within a few feet of him. When the swordsman comes face-to-face with Valentine, he attempts to impale the demonic hero but has his katana slammed down by Vincent's gun.

The two enemies plummet back down to the ground, landing on their feet and mightily pressing each other's weapons against the other's. Vincent hoists his firearm upwards so that his foe's longsword does not peer over and lacerate him. Still full of confidence, Valentine doesn't break a sweat, though neither does the adversary.



Unable to let anger take control of him, the former top class SOLDIER smirks after a while, then shoving his boot into Valentine's abdomen to knock him back. Immediately, Vincent takes flight once more while simultaneously firing 'bullets' out at Sephiroth. After deflecting all of the shots, the pale-haired warrior is taken ahold of by a handful of other heroes he previously thought he had slain... There was something wrong with them; evident by the grayish color-tone of their skin.

Sephiroth thinks to himself that these cannot be zombies, as they would surely have done more than contain him for as long as they do. Valentine's reluctancy costs him an opening to attack his true enemy. By the time he prepares to shoot, another individual - clad in silver & red armor - approaches the gray-skinned mob and incapacitates them using his own broadsword.



Someone thought to be sided with Vincent and the other protagonist during their whole ordeal on Mt. Gagazet, Sigmund now appears to have aligned himself with the malevolent Sephiroth. His skin would mutate to a blueish hue, signifying that Jenova's cells had an influence over him. Vincent calmly descends back down, standing across from the other two... All three must soon glance over to the side as the gray-skinned men come back to life, somewhat. Their leader reveals herself: Mitochondria Eve, carefully hovering behind her mindless minions.

Sigmund stances himself, though his 'partner' would rather continue to focus on Valentine. As Sigmund rushes towards the opposing faction, Sephiroth makes a teleporting dash at Vincent, still connecting weapon-to-weapon as neither man seems to have an advantage over the other... At least until Vincent thrusts an additional firearm into Sephiroth's stomach...

Cleaving his way through the pack of Eve's men, Sigmund pushes past a few bodies until eventually nearing Eve herself. She ascends higher than Sigmund can reach, taunting him as she also circles around and provides a distraction for her drones to then catch him off guard. Eve holds her arms out, directing a laser beam (lolwut) out of her hands to deal a critical blow to Sigmund.

Farther across the continent, something large and dark erupts with its own series of yellowish energy-bombs. Airships passing by just barely escape the gigantic explosion that occurs after the bombing. The entire floating island is broken into chunks, toppling down to the ridged caverns below and taking everyone on the island with it.

The dust settles close to an entire hour later. The minions are now spread out in different places, flattened as a result of the fall. Sigmund had been crushed by stones; he would have died sooner if Eve could finish him off. The monstrous Eve tried to levitate away, but became weakened by the energy-bomb initially.

Mitochondria Eve was now trapped beneath a cluster of rocks, unable to free herself. She suffered from multiple gash-injuries following the crash. With her arm stretched up to the sky, she gives it all she has in an attempt to release her body from the stones and at least die a slower death... A familiar boot steps down on her arm, seemingly unharmed by the fall. Eve gasps as her lifeforce fades... Sephiroth removes his foot, grinning with his katana's steel body covered in blood. He looks out to where the source of the bomb came from, unsure if he is going to pursue this power or not...
