Number VII

- a totally re-newed version of "Sephiroth's daughter"!

That story had no real plot in the first place, but now I've got one,

and I just couldn't let go of the idea of "Sephiroth's daughter"... so I made a whole new story! Nevertheless, I hope you can enjoy this one as much as you seemed

to enjoy the former version..!

The rumours say there were 3 legendary SOLDIERs in the entire history of Shinra... Sephiroth, Zack, and one whose name has been erased from the files open to the public... But the rumours know this SOLDIER was a female, trained by Sephiroth himself - and thus she earned the nickname, "Sephiroth's daughter". Some even say she was his real blood-relative, but nobody knows the truth... Now, 3 years after what happened in "FFVII - AC", she makes a comeback and claims to finish her "father's" job. But just what are her real goals? -Cloud Strife, her former subordinate, decides to find out - before it's too late for the entire Planet...

"Tsh... This city... sure has changed a lot", a soft, low voice whispered and breathed out some air with a hissing sound. The owner of the voice - a 165 cm tall female - was wearing a brown cloak, with its hood covering her face. The air, however, blew some of hair from under the hood, revealing some white hair of hers. She muttered a curse, raised her right hand and removed the hood. Her face was tanned and skinny - in a noble way -, her lips were thin and turned into an ironic smile, and her eyes were naturally green - but if you looked closely and knew what to look for, you could see the Mako glow - a mark of a SOLDIER - in her eyes. She narrowed her eyes as she watched the city beneath her. "Midgar - the city of my nightmares", she whispered. "Nice to see you in ruins, babe." She grinned and the Mako flashed in her eyes. She moaned in pain and held her head. "Shit... Fuck this.. shit!"

After the pain in her head had eased a bit she started to look for a place to get down from the mountain where she had examined Midgar from. "I wonder if anybody remembers me here", she said, sad look in her eyes. "It's been... almost 10 years." 10 years of hiding. 10 years of anger.

"Father..." She stopped walking, leaned her head backwards and closed her eyes. "I wont' fail. My... brothers failed to stop them, but I... I will succeed!" She opened her eyes which burned with Mako - and determination. "The number 7... has returned!"
