The Dark Council
Chapter Nine
Mark changed back to his human form. He briefly looked over his cuts and brusies to see how badly damaged he was. Pretty bad. Vincent had proven to be a tough opponent. Neither one had won the battle. That was in a way expected. Since they were slightly clones. Mark had been an experiment, like Sephiroth, exept he was the result of "incorrect" cloning. Vincent, whille in his deep slumber, had some DNA taken from him. Although Mark and Vincent were not exactly the same, they were close enough. Vincent did not know. Mark looked out over the horizon and saw Sephiroth and Rose sitting together watching the sun go down. "It was meant to be." Mark said to himself. "They are good for each other." |

Rose was totally taken off gaurd. Sephiroth, the one she loved, just suggested something she tought, he would never want. "Excuse me?" She asked astonished. Sephiroth grinned at her surprise. "Just wait alittle until I get you a ring ok? Heh, I feel almost human saying this." He said. Rose smiled at him and settled down into his arms. She breifly caught sight of something moving in the background, but couldn't tell what. "What was that?" She asked Sephy. "That would be Tifa. But I'm not going to bother with her. She knows that she doesn't stand a chance agianst me. It'd be good for her to go off and start a family or something." He replied. |

The next morning, everyone awoke feeling groggy. The sky was, red. Light red since the sun had just risen. Sephiroth and the Dark Council headed for Andra's plane and mark's chocobo. "I'm sorry, but we don't have any way for you to travel." Rose told Sephiroth. "That's alright." Sephiroth said as he lifted up into the air. "I think I can keep up." Rose smiled as Sephy flew up into the sky. "Well, I guess we'll meet him at Nibelhiem." Mark said. "How will he know that's were we're going?" Asked Rose. "He knows." Mark smiled at Rose. "So we'll meet at Nibelhiem." They set off. Mark on his chocobo, Magic, Andra and Rose in Andra's plane.

As Sephiroth soared through the air, he remembered what it felt like to have the wind flowing through his hair. To be alive agian. Oh how he loved it! "Take that Aeris!" He shouted to the sky. He remembered the days he would spend with Mark, together laughing as the chased each other through fields. The days when he was a child. Simple and innocent. The days when he did not know who he really was. Neither of them knew that they were just projects. As they grew up. They parted ways. He joined SOLIDER and Mark worked in labs. Mark was always the kind of kid who every body thought would grow up to be a sicentist. Sephiroth couldn't remember his "family" very well. Come to think of it, he didn't really have one. His mother was some creature named Jenova that some sicentists had found, and he didn't know who his father was. or at least, he wish that he didn't know. Hojo was his father. Luceria was his real mother. Some family they had been. His "mother" never even held him. The same went for Mark. Exept he had it worse. He had NO parents. He was just a copy. A clone. Sort of. Sephiroth saw Nibelhiem and landed there. He found a jewlery store and bought Rose a ring. Or, "got" a ring rather. He didn't have any gil. So the guy "gave" it to him. Well he was Sephiroth, He had power. It was a beautiful ring. He knew that Rose would like it. The band was real gold shaped like a dragon the dragon had two rubies for eyes and his back was lined with little diamonds. Rose would love it. |

"So, what's it like having the love of your life back?" Andra asked Rose. "Well, he asked me to marry him." Rose replied. Andra almost dropped the controls. "What? Really? You said yes right?" Rose laughed. "He didn't have a ring at the time but he's getting me one. Yeah, I agreed. Once he actually asks me I'll say yes of course!" In Andra's mind he was slightly worried. Rose was a beautiful and kind girl, Sephiroth was...a powerful man. An evil on too. He worried that Sephiroth would hurt Rose. That is what Andra would do, be there for Rose if she ever was hurt. But...he did want Sephiroth to train him into a better swordsman. The plane reached Nibelhiem. |

Mark was riding Magic at an easy pace. They didn't need him for very much anymore. Mark hadn't told Rose and Andra the real reason Sephiroth killed Emillie. The truth was, Sephiroth had to kill. He needed to kill something. Mark knew that it was going to happen. Sephiroth was...different. He hoped that Sephiroth didn't hurt Rose. But then again, why would he hurt the woman he loved? Mark still didn't totally understand Sephiroth. Magic reached Nibelhiem and Mark saw that everyone was already waiting. |

Rose and Andra were just getting out of the plane as Mark was getting off Magic. Sephiroth was waiting patiently. "Sephy!" Rose screeched as she saw him. She ran over to him and leaped into his arms. Andra muttered "you would think he'd been gone for years." under his breath. Sephiroth and Rose went off somewhere.... "Ok, Rose here it goes..will you marry me?" Sephiroth held open the box containing the dragon ring. Rose gasped in awe at the beauty of the ring. "Yes. Yes Sephy! I will!" Sephiroth took the ring from the box and slid it on to her ring finger. They smiled at each other, took each other's hands and headed back to the others. Rose was all smiles. |

Inside the inn, Tifa stood by the window "They're going to get married." She said to herself. "He's really going to marry her." Tifa turned and walked up the stairs to her room. She opened the door to look into Cloud's closed eyes. She was keeping him in her room until tonight when his burial was going to be. She, Vincent, Cid and Barret were going. Until then... |

"When's the wedding?" Andra asked. "Well..we haven't really decided yet." Rose answered. "As soon as possible!" Sephiroth said. |
