BLOODTIES

By: Mags

This is not like my other fanfiction. This is, in part, how I actually thought that the game was going to go when I first played it. I thought that Cloud was going to turn out to be an Ancient in the game. He wasn’t but I always wondered what it would be like if he were. First of all, he would be incredibly powerful. More powerful than Aeris, certainly. She was half-human. Certainly at least as strong as Sephiroth, he was part human, too. I decided to write a fic about that.

However, I think that it would get old rather quickly if I just did that, and followed the rest of the storyline as it was. So I decided to add some curveballs in, too. The results are this: The result of the Nibelheim Expedition was a failure. Sephiroth went insane after learning his ‘true’ origin. That you pretty much know. However, here is the twist. Cloud is an Ancient. His Cetra instincts kick in, and he gains incredible powers. He battles Sephiroth, resulting in the destruction of Nibelheim. Then they both mysteriously vanished. That was five years ago. Now, they’re back, and they both intend to rule the planet, over the other’s dead body, as well as the rest of the worlds.

Aeris, a half-Cetra, decided that she is the only one who can do anything about this, and forms AVALANCHE to combat the menaces. The members include: Barret Wallace- a devil-may-care soldier of fortune, Red XIII- a lion-creature who’s race was conquered by the Cetra thousands of years ago, Cid Highwind- a 1^st Class SOLDIER and dragoon, as well as a whole cast of others. WEAPONs will rise, cities will crumble, and lives will be lost. I hope you have as much fun reading this as I am having writing it!
