Nate was in the water. His eyes were searching for something to push off of. If he couldn't escape, the water would asphyxiate him. Then the voices returned.

 "Nathan, come," the voice said. Nate saw the Red Sephiroth. He was
pointing at him.

 "Leave me alone..." Nate replied.

 "No. As long as you are like this, I will keep bothering you," Sephiroth Red replied. Nate was confused. He reached the top, and gasped for air. Surprisingly, the water hadn't affected his breathing. The chopper had sunk to the bottom. Some plastic was floating in the water. He grabbed onto a chunk and floated. Another chopper flew over him. It hovered and a rope flew down. The hook on the rope attached itself to Nate's collar. It pulled him up to the chopper. Kefka was there.

 "You thought you could escape ME??? Well slave, we need to use one of these," Kefka dug into a bag and brought a glowing  crown. He placed it on Nate's jerking head. After that, Nate's head stopped jerking. His glowing eyes began radiating even brighter. His gaze was fixed on Kefka. Kefka nodded. Nate nodded back in return. Kefka cackled.

 "Good, Kefka. That allows me to control him and his power," Sephiroth red spoke to Kefka. Kefka nodded. Nate suddenly talked.

 "It is nice to be able to be in a real powerhouse," Nate said. Although it was not Nate. It was Sephiroth red. The green glowing eyes turned to a glowing burgundy pair.

 "NO!" Sephiroth blue couldn't take it. He went into Nate and found Seph Red. He mentally threw a graviblast at Seph Red. Both of their energies flew out of Nate, and Nate collapsed. Kefka picked him up, and they flew off.

 "Pilot, head to Kalm," Kefka said. He grinned. "Well, won't your parents be PROUD??  MWHA HA HA!!!" The chopper sped off to Kalm town.

 "What the hell?" Cloud walked outside and saw a regiment of troops heading towards Kalm. A chopper was in the lead. It landed. Cloud had an angry look. The door flew open, and a soldier's shell flew and blew the door off.

 "Do'h!" The voice went. A man picked himself off the ground. After the dust settled, the man had brushed the dust off of him.

 "Well well! Mwha ha ha!" 'Twas Kefka. "Well, isn't it the Strife guy?" He mocked.

 "Kefka! What the hell do you want?" Cloud angrily said through his teeth.

 "Nothing really. Just to show you this," Kefka turned to the chopper, and called for something to come. Cloud turned and called for Tifa. She ran out. A tall man walked out of the chopper, seemingly like a robot. His eyes were a dark burgundy, luminating deeply. His hair was black and spiky. He had some sort of crown on his head with a glowing jewel in it. His body was clothed in what appeared to be some sort of old uniform. His back was laden with tubes and energy tanks.

 "Behold!" Kefka waved his hand in front of the man like a game show host.
"How proud do you feel now?" He asked. They had no clue what he was talking about. At least Cloud didn't. Tifa turned white as a ghost.

 "Cloud!!! It's Nate!!!" She barely gasped. "Nate! Nate!" She called out. He didn't hear her.

 "Show your parents your power!" Kefka told Nate. He spun around. He pointed his finger at a house. It suddenly burst in flames. Tifa was shocked.

 "Nate! Stop!" She cried. Nate couldn't hear. Kefka shouted more orders. Nate proceeded to freeze, electrocute, bury, and do all sorts of evil deeds. Cloud decided it was time to stop this.

 "Nathan Ruffo Strife!" It was the first time Cloud called Nate Nathan since when he was young. He ran over to Nate. He pulled him over by the shoulder. Nate turned and looked heartlessly at his father. Cloud saw it. Nate was possessed. There was no trace of a soul in those eyes. Cloud stood back.

 "Nathan! Come!" Kefka said as Kalm was sufficiently destroyed. Nate followed Kefka into the chopper, and flew off towards Kefka's tower. Cloud and Tifa just stood.

 "I can't believe it," Cloud said.

 "Shadow," Elena began, "Tell us, why do you want us to die?" She asked.

 "You misunderstand me. I do not wish to kill. Don't wish to kill you, at least. I am the only one who can kill Kefka. I still have magicite power. Magicite power didn't seem to dissipate in the lifestream. My friends lost it however," Shadow said, and got up.

 "Where are you going?" Ramza asked.

 "To where I have to go," Shadow replied. Shadow opened the door and strolled out.

 "That's one spooky fellow there," Reno said. Elena nodded, and went back into the kitchen. Reno left, and Ramza turned on the TV. What she saw was a very horrific sight.

 "Here we are today at the town called Kalm. Once thought to be a nice, quiet place to live has been turned into an inferno due to that madman Kefka. Here we are with some witnesses for comment." The reporter walked over and found a man and a woman. Ramza thought they looked familiar.

 "Here we are with Mr. And Mrs. Cloud Strife. I understand Kefka did this for revenge?"

 "Well, sir, Kefka just came here in a chopper with our kidnapped son! I couldn't believe my eyes! Nathan was fully grown! He's only SEVEN DAMN YEARS OLD!!! How the hell did he do that??" Cloud was angry. Tifa walked over and tried to calm Cloud down.

 "He's jus agitated... Sir," Tifa walked over, took the camera, and smashed it into the ground. Ramza never thought Tifa would do such a thing.

 "Well! Wasn't that FUN??" Kefka exclaimed at the top of his tower. He smiled an evil, devilish smile. He turned over to Nate. Nate stared at the wall, saying nothing. "Boy, I sure love my new toy!"

 "I don't think you'll be loving it for long," A voice said.

 "Who's there?" Kefka questioned. Out from the shadows popped Shadow.

 "YOU!!! I thought I got rid of you!!" Kefka exclaimed. Shadow shook his head.

 "Merton!!" Shadow called. A blazing fire force came at Kefka.

 "Yeeaaaoouuuchh!!!" Kefka exclaimed. The fire force blew him out of the window of his tower. Kefka fell out of the tower and down to the ocean. "I'll be back!!!" He shouted as he plummeted from the tower. Shadow ran over and found Nate. He pulled the Slave Crown off of his head.

 "Are you okay?" He asked. Nate just 'uhn'ed. Shadow took Nate and found a chopper. He quickly evacuated the tower. He turned his head to find the tower changing! A giant something came out and pointed at the chopper.

 "This isn't my lucky day," Shadow said. A beam of light came from the mechanism and blew the chopper in half.

Author's Notes:

Took me long enough. I was on a bike trip at Cape Cod and never got around to finishing this. It's shorter than other chapters, but I just had to wrap it up.
