IMPORTANT!

Baz: Whats up everybody I got something a little different for you all today. This story is being uploaded on my profile by my old friend Vance, he's the one who is actually writing this. So to all of you saying 'Baz you've already got so many stories, why start another one?' I'm not starting another story, Vance is writing this one solo, so that means this story will be uploaded independently from my other stories and won't affect their update pace at all. He wanted to post on my profile for multiple reasons. Anyway I've read over his first few drafts (Cuz unlike me he actually plans his stuff out) and there actually really good so do me a solid and give him a shot.

Vance: So I've been wanting to do fanfic of my own for a while and when I saw there were no RWBYxFFVII fics that were updated regularly I decided to make a Sephiroth fic. Sephiroth is one of the greatest villains in the history of story telling, he stands among the pinnacle of bad guys along side names like The Joker, Sauron, Frieza, and Vader. It is because of this that I will try my hardest to do him proud and write him with the respect he deserves. I'd also like to thank my buddy Baz for posting this for me on his profile.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Final Fantasy series or anything related to it, nor do I own RWBY. I make no money off of this story in anyway. All credit goes to the respective owners.

"Where does he get such power?" Sephiroth asked himself as his mind faded into the lifestream. He looked down at Cloud one last time, he was bloody, hurt, and clearly exhausted, but he kept standing. "What am I missing?"

"It's called love." A familiar voice said from nearby, he opened his eyes and looked to the source.

"Zack." He said calmly.

Zack nodded. "It's been a while hasn't it. We were starting to think you'd never show up."

"We?" Sephiroth asked turning around to see the group of people standing there smiling at him. Angeal, Genesis, Lazard, even Aerith, there was also a brown haired woman who he didn't recognize. "Why are you all here?"

Zack laughed as he walked over to Aerith and took her hand in his. "Well this is the lifestream, where else would we be? The better question is whats up with you man?" Zack took a step forward towards Sephiroth letting go of Aerith. "You were a hero revered by millions, by me? Why have you become this." Zack gestured towards him though he stayed silent. "You were the best of us, but now..."

"I deserve my revenge against this planet for what they've done to me and my mother." Sephiroth answered Zack while keeping an even voice and face.

"Jenova wasn't your mother, I am." The woman with brown hair stepped forward. "I carried you for nine months before you were born and taken from me by your father, I'm so sorry." Tears began to fall down her face. "At first when you were conceived, I thought of you as just another experiment, but once you were born and I heard you cry... I'm so sorry I let him take you." She fell to her knees as Sephiroth just stood silently.

"You've said that you are a monster, but I don't see that." Angeal said shaking his head. "All I see is an old friend who was never given a fair chance at life even from the very beginning. Thats why we're here now." Angeal put his hand on Sephiroth's shoulder and smiled.

"We wish to bestow upon you, the Gift of the Goddess." Genesis said smiling.

Sephiroth actually took on a surprised look. "What are you all talking about?"

"We're to give you another chance, a chance to be happy." Aerith smiled.

"Another chance to do things right." Lazard was the next to speak.

Zack smiled and punched his shoulder. "But not before we beat some sense into the thick skull of yours."

Sephiroth was never one to be speechless yet here he was unable to think of anything. "Why?"

"Because your our friend you dumbass!" Zack shouted at him loudly sounding exasperated.

This hit Sephiroth like a ton of bricks, he looked down at his hands and then back up everyone present with a frown. "How can you possibly say that?! How can any of you possibly say that?!" His voice and eyes were filled with anger and confusion, it felt alien to him to lash out this way, he'd always had a rather tight grip on his visible emotions. "After everything I've done! Zack, I took you away from the girl you love, who I later killed with my own two hands! Genesis, your degradation was started because of our fight. Angeal, you were only born so that Shinra could try and recreate me! So how can any of you see me as a friend after all of that!?"

"Because we forgive you." Aerith surprised him with her soothing soft voice. "Zack, Angeal, Genesis, even I have all forgiven you for your sins. Thats why we want to give you a chance to start over, in a world far far away where Shinra and Jenova have never existed. A world where you may be able to find happiness." Aerith held out her hand to him, Zack smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder and looked at Sephiroth.

Sephiroth looked at everyone with a stunned face, his friends all smiled at him, his mother smiled as well but with tears in her eyes. He stood still for what felt like years before looking back down at the extended hand. "Have I really messed things up this badly?" He asked himself before moving his hand towards her only to stop just before. "Will I remember?"

"After a few years yes, a babies mind can't handle the information you possess. You are literally being reborn after all, I doubt you'll wish to be conscious during your birth." Lazard explained.

"Very well." Sephiroth took Aerith's hand and watched as his body began to glow. "Thank you, all of you." After a few moments be burst into a cloud of lights that took off upwards towards the stars.

"Goodbye my son, I'm sorry I was never able to tell you how much I loved you." Lucrecia whispered as she watched him disappear.

Remnant

"Alright miss Schnee, the first one is out. She's a healthy baby girl!" The doctor announced as he handed the screaming baby to the nurse. "Now I need you to keep pushing, I can already see the head of the second." The woman screamed again before the sound of a second baby crying could be heard. "Congratulations it's a healthy baby boy!"

The two babies were taken and quickly cleaned before being wrapped up in pink and blue blankets and handed to the recovering woman who looked down on the two with tears in her eyes. "Hi there." She said to the two sleeping infants. "I'm your mommy." She smiled as she held the two just staring at them. A few minutes later the door to the room burst open and in ran a five year old little girl who ran over to the bed she laid in and climbed up.

"Mommy, are these my new brothers?" She asked excitedly looking at the two babies her mother was holding.

The woman smiled at the little girl. "Only one of them is a boy Winter, the other is a girl. So now you have a baby brother and sister." The door opened again and a man with white hair entered and made his way to the chair at the bedside. "Look at them dear, their so cute." She said to the man who smiled at the two sleeping infants.

"What are their names?" Winter asked.

The woman looked at the two for a moment. "For the girl, I think Weiss will fit. Weiss Schnee." She then looked to the boy. "What should we name you though?"

Winter sat on the bed thinking before an idea came to her mind from seemingly nowhere. "His name will be Sephiroth!" She said happily.

The man looked at his daughter with a raised eyebrow. "Sephiroth? Where did you hear that name?" He'd never heard a name like Sephiroth before.

"I don't know, I just though of it." Winter replied to her father.

The mother smiled at her older daughter. "Sephiroth Schnee. I like it, welcome to the world Weiss, Sephiroth."

Four years later

Sephiroth ran through the Schnee manor before ducking into a closet. He sat and remained silent for about thirty seconds before he heard tiny footsteps walk past. "Sephy! You promised we'd play house today!" He heard Weiss shout as she walked down the hall away from the young SOLDIER's hiding place. After a few more minutes of hiding Sephiroth crawled out of the closet. "There you are!" He jumped when he heard Weiss shout from behind him.

Wiess crossed her arms and frowned. "You promise that if we played hunters yesterday we'd play house today." His twin complained.

Sephiroth laughed before smiling at his older twin sister. Even though she was only older by about forty five seconds she loved pointing out the she was older. "Fine, we'll play house." He agreed and followed his sister to their play room. Ever since the two were born they were nearly inseparable, it was almost unheard of to see one without the other, whether they were playing, attending lessons, or even sleeping they were always side by side.

Like every pure blood Schnee Weiss had hair that was white as snow and eyes as blue as the sky, Sephiroth however was slightly different. Unlike his father and sisters he didn't have white hair or blue eyes. His hair was silver and his eyes were a greenish color that almost seemed to glow if one were to stare at them for long enough. It was something his mother loved to gush over.

The two entered their play room and Weiss started using blocks to start building up a small house while Sephiroth helped. As they built the house up Sephiroth's head began to ache slightly and he held it. "Weiss, my head hurts." He groaned as the pain slowly started to grow.

Weiss looked at him with a frown thinking he was just trying to get out of playing her game, until he fell onto his butt while still holding his head. "Sephy?" She walked over to her brother as he started to moan and whimper. "Sephy what's wrong?" She asked shaking her twin.

The boy laid down on his side and curled up into a ball while muttering softly. "I won't, I won't be a memory." He whispered before his moans turned into almost incoherent shouts. Weiss had become scared and started crying. "THERE ARE NO DREAMS NO HONOR REMAINS, THE ARROW HAS LEFT THE BOW OF THE GODDESS!" He screamed as voices and information, memories and emotions all began rushing into his head all at once. He started screaming causing Weiss to start crying louder before running to the door and running out of it while shouting for help.

Toys that laid on the floor around him began rising into the air and the windows began shaking as his screams grew louder and more intense. "ZACK, ANGEAL, GENESIS!" There was a blast of pure energy with him as the source, the windows were shattered instantly and all the toys were all destroyed by the massive wave of force that hit them and any furniture in the room was thrown against the walls with so much force they were either embedded into the wall or punched a hole through. The door of the room was ripped from its hinges and the floor beneath Sephiroth became a crater of wood and concrete as the colorful carpet that had decorated it was disintegrated.

After several more seconds and a few more energy bursts Sephiroth stopped screaming and collapsed back to the ground and fell unconscious.

Three days later

"What the hell happened to him?!" Sephiroth heard the familiar angry sounding voice of his father, but that couldn't be right, his father was in Mistral on a business trip.

"We aren't completely sure sir, from what we can tell his aura unlocked on its own but as for how we don't know." An unfamiliar explained. "Normally aura can only be unlocked by another person or if a person is under an immense amount of stress in which in rare cases the aura will unlock itself to protect the user, thats what appears to have happened here. However according to the boys twin sister they were just playing when the boy began complaining of a headache that escalated, why this happened we have no idea."

"Will he be alright?" He heard his mothers voice, she sounded worried. She was supposed to be with his father in Mistral.

"Physically he's completely healthy, mentally however we're unsure. The amount of stress needed to unlock ones own aura is almost beyond imagining." The unfamiliar voice explained.

"And what about the damage to the room he was in, what caused that?" His father asked actually sounding rather concerned.

"That would be his aura, normally when somebodies aura is unlocked it causes the one unlocking it to become tired out by the other persons aura rebounding and pushing the person who did the unlockings aura out. However the boys aura became erratic and exited his body via bursts of energy, the amount of energy he released however is staggering. When we first came up with the guess that his aura unlocked itself we ran a check on his aura levels and were shocked at what we found."

"Whats wrong with him?" His mother asked sounding even more worried.

"Nothing is wrong with his aura, in fact its just the opposite. Your son has an immense level of aura, it's absolutely massive, beyond anything I've ever heard of. His aura dwarfs that of fully grown Huntsmen and huntresses, we consulted an aura specialist who thought we were playing a prank on him when we read him the numbers. Mr. and Ms. Schnee, according to the specialist, if your son was to ever hone his ability to use his aura and become a huntsmen, he'd be absolutely unstoppable."

As Sephiroth listened he began remembering things, images of people he remembered and knew all about but knew he'd never met, then he began thinking but the words running through his head were words he'd never heard before. As he began thinking about this further he didn't notice his consciousness slipping away.
