Final Fantasy Event; Chocobocalypse

Tensei took but one deep breath at the same time Sephiroth bathed in the light, feeling somehow very relieved and refreshed, much like Sephiroth must have felt when he was allowed to take on his Seraph Form and not have to hold back anymore. That made Tensei happy that they had both come to terms with the Father and found Peace in each Other and Mother. This certainly was the most wonderful Reunion, and Tensei would ensure to make it a memory etched for all time in history. *The Reunion*

The very moment Sephiroth's blade sought to pierce him yet again, Tensei' himself, would clasp his palms together suddenly as if in prayer with the 'Omnicentricity' being moved from his wings to Sephiroth's blade and catch it between his palms before it could physically harm him, opening his mouth to say, "... Amen," simply because he knew that Sephiroth understood and accepted in his heart what this meant, and even without words, that was all that Tensei needed for him. With it, however, the Wings that were once the main 'Vertex' of the 'Omnicentricity' were that no longer, but would enclose just as swiftly around Sephiroth and Tensei, trapping them both inside of all eight wings all in a moment. At that moment, Sephiroth was once again inside of Tensei's perimeter. The still shining light of the 'Magnanimous Luminosity' would then be in all such high concentration within the little now contained pod of wings, releasing a shining light that would literally completely obliterate Sephiroth if not withheld from him. The 'Magnanimous Luminosity' itself, amplified by the high powered concentration of the Crystal Wings as well as the Halos that were still around them, and also the sudden stillness of Sephiroth's blade being like a mirror to reflect the light even further, which should have also snuffed out the light of his Burning Masamune would bestow upon it a greater light of the 'Magnanimous Luminosity' and the wavelength it was at, which exceeded even the holy flame of the blazing edge.

"No... I'm Not..." He said softly, blade between his palms, "... I'm Not Beautiful At All..." His voice broke as though he wanted to cry, or that he were being overcome with emotion just from having to utter something like that about himself, regardless of what he wished to believe and hoped to become, and for a moment, his face would mirror that feeling and portray it as if he were going to shed a tear. He thought of fond memories of his friends and how they were all gone now, simply because of all that he had acquired and was now revealing for the first time the true potential of. He'd come up with these techniques whilst still on Vescrutia, but was using them now because they were necessary against Seraph Sephiroth, but... Each one of them was like a reminder. His success was a painful sting because it made him remember everyone and everything that hated him for it. At that moment, the pain overtook his completely vulnerable and relatively tender heart, and he would glare at Sephiroth, straight in the Third Eye within his Third Crown and say, "Nirvana..." revealing to him with just the sight of Tensei's own insight within the Light of his Mind what it looked like first hand; that which Sephiroth was searching for inside of him.

~Absolute All; Nirvana (Eternal Peace)~: Clasps his hands together as if in prayer and centers himself to perfect and utter calm, which focuses power into his Third Eye or Halo (If from the Crystal Lotus, the Lotus will bloom and release light). From this, it fires a beam from filled with the Infinite Wisdom, Knowledge and Intellect of the Divine and shoots it straight into the Third Eye of another. From there, Khrona brings all things about them to utter calm and peace with this infinite knowledge, causes their heads to explode from being unable to maintain, withstand or understand such unfathomable knowledge; especially the insanity of Khrona himself. A literal 'mind-blowing' experience. Basically, he fills your head with so much knowledge, it explodes from being unable to process or contain it all at once.

The very instant after Tensei's calm was broken by the memories of his breaking heart, the 'Magnanimous Luminosity' that should have been Scathing Sephiroth's flesh would suddenly flash red, and in that brief moment, all of his epidermis would be scorched off in an instant; stripped clean from his flesh, which should have now only been charred dermis or burnt muscle tissue. It was only a glimmer of what was still burning within him that he was containing; a flame so destructive, it would erase even a Seraph in a moment's notice. His eyes were slit, as though set and ready to kill, but they seemed to gaze not only with coherency, but also compassion, pain and deep sorrow and longing, something like Sephiroth knew all too well. The 'Magnanimous Luminosity' combined with the 'Nirvana' would paint the picture all around them in the brightness of the all-consuming light, right before Sephiroth's eyes; what his death would look like from that moment on that Tensei stopped him then and there.

*~When the 'Magnanimous Luminosity' turned red, instead of being contained so that it did not incinerate Sephiroth completely, it would be allowed to be released full strength upon the completely isolated target, who was halted midair, disarmed and completely helpless to his absolute destruction. "... NO ONE THINKS I'M BEAUTIFUL!!!!" the sound of the light cried out in an infernal fury, loud and hot enough for Sephiroth not only to hear, but also see and feel and know all at the exact same time. At that moment, Tensei's pain inside would bear down upon him as this infernal red heat, like that of a furnace beyond temperature, yet just as caustic as any red-hot flame. It looked like an abyss of pure ash, which, too,was being burnt up just as quickly, and being reconfigured into pure burning energy."DOES THIS LOOK BEAUTIFUL TO YOU, SEPHIROTH!?!?" Tensei stepped forth with eyes like blazing fire and a figure that could not be made out through the pure intensity of the vibration of light separating it from the vision of normal light. The figure looked like nothing but a shimmering distortion in the blinding red, something like invisible lava.

The flickering distortion in the abysmal redness would extend what seemed to be an arm and yank the blade and the man at the end of it closer, having him to gaze into the burning, bulging eyes of the Tensei, which seemed to be overflowing with blood just as red and as hot as the 'Magnanimous Luminosity' that was all around them showing this to Sephiroth. Yet, there seemed to still be signs of compassion in his heart that mirrored his pain and the fury that became of it. Apparently, something about beauty made him feel very insecure, because though he knew these things he did were beautiful, they did not bring the beauty out in others, as it was supposed to do... As Tensei intended it to do. It further aggravated him, and the hellstorm of heat continued. "I AM A HORRIBLE MONSTER. CAN YOU NOT SEE IT, OR IS THIS LIGHT TOO BRIGHT FOR YOU!?!?!?"~*

The moment Sephiroth was done looking into Tensei's blazing eyes, the scenario projected and implanted directly in his vision by the all-consuming (and thus, omnipresent) light of the 'Magnanimous Luminosity,' would be shattered, and Sephiroth would be freed from his 'Reality Genjutsu' of sorts, and bring him right back to the moment that Tensei had used 'Nirvana' to transfer this feeling, image, knowledge and understanding straight into Sephiroth's head. From all around, down to his very environment, he would have no choice but to view, experience and understand Tensei's emotions and energy on the level that would have destroyed them if it continued any further. Tensei just stood there after showing Sephiroth what was inside of him, with a Crystal Tear streaming down his face, which also looked rather hurt and embarrassed, as well as extremely forlorn. It didn't seem like he was pleased about showing Sephiroth what he thought about... Himself... It actually made him feel really bad about what he was. Just like anyone with the Geostigma would when they excel too much... "... I'm Sorry..."

*Everything in red is why Sephiroth's skin should be charred. That all happened within the initial red flash of the 'Magnanimous Luminosity.'

Even now, Sephiroth, giving it all his might, paled in comparison to just the wings alone of this seraphic man that had captured his blade. "Masaka..." he muttered in genuine shock, unable to believe that there was just no way in. There were no openings, because every opening was like leading straight into whatever he wished to get accomplished at the time. Did having just one extra wing really make that much of a difference? Sephiroth nearly seethed with hatred as he had to think of himself and his accursed One-Winged Arm, which was being burnt up feather by feather in the light of the Magnanimous Luminosity. Yet, the burning blaze surrounding his blade, though snuffed out, seemed to be suddenly rekindled with the light of the 'Magnanimous Luminosity,' which would shine in the light like a bright, glowing Seraph Wing. This new fire would stream up his arm and become the 'Seraph Wing' Masamune, which was the oneness of the very soul of his blade matching the weight of the One-Wing that mirrored it. At that moment, he would see that his eight wing, all the time, was his Masamune in his Left Hand, and without it, he was without part of his heart and character... The other wing that carried him into his Seraph-hood.

"... If Only There Were More Like You..." he said, looking down at his arm, smiling fondly now and closing his eyes, unable to look at him any longer without feeling the overwhelming sensation to perhaps, begin crying, himself, if Sephiroth even ever did that. "Mother Would Be More Pleased." Though, if it were for any reason, it certainly would be for this one. He only cursed himself under his breath for abandoning his other wing once he became a Seraph; his trusty Sword, the Masamune. "I Hope Your... Our... Father Is Pleased," he said, lowering his blade and suddenly shrinking, becoming, very gradually and fluidly, his normal size again, and eventually, reverting all the way back to his normal restricted form as the 'One-Winged Angel.'


That would be all he would say as he finally came to peace with his own hatred and hunger. He realized that this would only go on for as long as Sephiroth insisted upon fighting back, and he was finally done after seeing Tensei's face. This was all that he needed to see to be satisfied. This, and what would become of the planet that Mother was restoring. That would be the true blessing here, he knew. "... Tell me your name. I don't believe we were formally introduced, despite me knowing that everyone knows my name. I still do not know yours." He would away his blade and calm his fervent spirit, ready now to return to a normal scale of interaction between the two of them. "... I cannot go after having such a life-changing interaction not knowing the name of the one who incurred it. That's not very polite..." He smirked, "... Now, is it?"

"The pleasure was all mine..." he paused, turning around to meet the eye of the man he'd just truly engaged in battle with, calling out his name with esteem, "Tensei." It was clear and understood that they no longer needed to fight each other. Sephiroth, now an ally to Tensei, would then begin to engage him on an inquisitive level rather than in a hostile manner, feeling now that he knew and understood his goals a little more firmly in relation to Sephiroth's own, the two of them were truly of the same blood and heritage, and whatever Tensei was, it has grown stronger than even Sephiroth, himself. "... Though, I don't believe that you came here to begin the Reunion... That didn't seem to be your intent in the slightest, in fact." Sephiroth crossed his arms and leaned against one of the old pillars holding up the remains of the church, waiting for a feasible explanation to his being here was, then. "... So, what is your purpose for coming here? Was it just to face me in battle? I do know that many would jump for that sort of indulgence." A somber grin peeled the stale smirk upon his face, as if he were already aware of how great he was not only in his world, but in many other that had heard of his name. Yet, Tensei's name was very fitting... as was, of course, Sephiroth's.

"Chocobo Forest?" Sephiroth, almost wanting to laugh under his breath. "Someone of your strength wishes to laze about with the Chocobos on their farm? That is laughable, at best." He also found it strange that he was able to (and even cared to) find a significant other. Usually by this time, people like the two of them were two far away from the others to even be considered for such things. "And, in all my time here, I have not heard of nor seen the Chocobo Forest. Perhaps that is where the breeders catch them, however, I wouldn't know how to get there. You would either have to trace it yourself or find someone on the farm that knows." Those were the only two options that Sephiroth deemed fit for resolving his predicament. "... Heh. I suppose you'll need an escort, so that you aren't found out and cause a severe disturbance in this world, hm? You went through all the trouble of making not only a disguise, but also an isolated realm for us to fight full strength in... You must also care about this place as much as I did. For that, I will respect your wish of not wanting to disrupt our realm with your presence."

Sephiroth shook his head, laughing at the poor guy. He seemed to be completely discombobulated and disorderly, yet somehow exceptionally coordinated. This sort of person intrigued Sephiroth, adding to his interest in remaining nearby for at least a little while longer. The 'Chocobo Farm' was the perfect excuse. "... Hm. Well, you'll want to return to your Chocobo Form, now won't you? I thought you were trying to keep up appearances..." Sephiroth would deal with the entire 'Mother' situation on his own later on. Certainly, the Shinra corporation deserved his lack of support here and now, where they would probably need it most. They would be overtaken by 'Mother' in but a single day, and in that entire time, Sephiroth would be nowhere to be found.

"To think... This moment would be so perfect... For me to have my revenge." He never would have guessed that the opportunity would only come from assisting a being bred from an outside world with the same genetic condition that selects a Chosen Champion. It was like helping a fugitive; though, very few of the people in this world should have even known about anything outside of their own planet. How simple and narrow-minded. Absolutely detestable. "By the way, you should work on your Chocobo noise. That was simply terrible." He chuckled under his breath, closing his eyes and starting toward the door. If Tensei were going to follow, this would be his only chance. Sephiroth stopped for very few, if any, besides himself and his dear 'Mother.'

"Better..." Sephiroth would say in reference to the noise Tensei made as he transformed, "... But not quite." If anything, he would blow their cover just by making the wrong noise and drawing attention to himself as some sort of 'Rare Breed,' perhaps. Sephiroth, himself, was already a spectacle due to popularity and notoriety alone, so the 'Black Chocobo,' which was also already a rarity in Midgar, making strange noises all day would definitely attract a crowd. They needed to get things established between them immediately. "You, don't make any noise for any reason. This is a covert operation, so no one can know you're here and that you're not what you appear to be. It will cause a distortion, something like a 'glitch' in a computerized system that doesn't support your data." It was fortunate that he would stumble upon Sephiroth. He'd already beaten this game and its system, so he was able to exit from it and have his own understanding beyond just the boundaries of this world, alone. That may have been Tensei's only saving grace; finding Sephiroth.

As they exited the doors, he would begin to walk a little more expeditiously, as if he'd already been prepared to avoid people the very moment he stepped outside, whilst also leading Tensei toward the direction of the Chocobo Farm. Fortunately, Jenova's appearance and whatever she was doing should have been more than enough of a disturbance to distract everyone from them in the first place. "We have to hurry. If we don't get there before Mother finishes cleansing the planet, it will probably cause anyone who is capable of helping you to flee in terror attempting to save their futile existences." He flipped his hair, smiling to himself at just the thought of the ones that were weak being crushed by the might of Mother's pure, clean power overtaking them. "It's also good that you decided on a completely isolated area that no one comes to... Anywhere public and you would have caused a scene that would probably have had some irreversible effects." Sephiroth paused, turning around curiously, "... You're... Rather coordinated for someone that has no real coordination." He shook his head, waving the thought off mentally, "... Probably simply the effects of the Geostigma, naturally. Hmph."

Suddenly, something attracted Sephiroth's attention below his feet. It was fresh, green grass growing, for once, in Midgar. He looked down at it both pleased and concerned, then quickly looked back up to Tensei and said, "... We have to move. Mother's cells are rapidly evolving this place, as it had done the able-bodied of we who are here, such as myself." He looked at the... Black Chocobo and smiled, nearly wanting to laugh again. "... And before you say, 'Hop on my back and I'll take you,' I'm just going to tell you that I don't... Ride Chocobos." What would Sephiroth, the One-Winged Angel, look like riding on a Chocobo? Even if the Black one very much suited his persona, it was still a rather frustrating fowl, and he simply didn't have the time for such nonsense. Optional foolishness that had nothing to do with him. "So. How about this... You follow me wherever I take you and hope you can keep up." Sephiroth turned to where he could feel the influence of Mother's return spreading the fastest and followed it in a blur, saying to Tensei, "Godspeed," as he flickered off to outrun the inevitable change of the world and destruction of Midgar, once and for all.
