This is a near-desert plain, and there seems to be signs of human activities, but those relics were eventually buried by time and sand, and what remained on this land in the end, except for gravel and yellow sand, there are only steep cliffs and mounds .

Going around these large and small mounds, Sephiroth found that the distant gunshots were close at hand, and at the same time, there was the roar of the engine that he had ignored in the wind.

He briefly glanced around, found a raised sand dune and jumped on it - this is the highest point of the surrounding terrain, and he can see the town standing in the distance, a winding road leading to the town and...

The battle not far below.

The three motorcycles are driving side by side, and you are fighting for each other. At the same time, several monsters are attacking the black one.

Seeing those summoned monsters, Sephiroth knew where he was.

He actually came back.

After figuring out the so-called Jenova, Project J, he returned to the world where he was born.

Shinra...Hojo...

The silver-haired young man on the sand dune narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gust of rough hot wind blew through, raising a few strands of silvery long hair.

It stands to reason that he should be quite conspicuous, both in terms of location and appearance, but the battle below was too fierce, and none of the three people in the battle noticed that there was a bystander standing on the sand dune not far away.

Until the blond young man riding a black motorcycle was negligent, and the machete in his hand was knocked away——

The knife whizzed and flew out, turned into an imaginary circle in the air, and just hit the hill at Sephiroth's feet.

The gravel shattered, the hills toppled, and Sephiroth had to jump to the ground first.

At this time, the three people in the fight finally noticed him.

Leaving aside the two silver-haired men in black, the expressionless face of the blond young man who was besieged in the middle suddenly cracked, revealing an expression of astonishment that the sky is falling, and a pair of blue pupils opened wide: "Sephiroth? !"

He even paused for a moment.

The monster next to him didn't care who was coming, and took the opportunity to rush towards the stunned blond young man.

Sephiroth raised his eyebrows, and finally remembered who the blond young man was when the figure of the monster completely drowned the young man's face...

"Claude?"

"boom!"

The five magical beasts were instantly bounced off, turning into black shadows and sinking into the ground, revealing the panting figure of the young man holding a knife in both hands.

Sephiroth's eyes fell on his left arm, which was wrapped with a black cloth cloak, but from the attack and defense action of the blond youth just now, it can be seen that there is something wrong there, it should be poisoned or wounded Otherwise, the young man's movement of swinging the sword just now would not be so jerky.

"Sephiroth! How could you..."

Claude's voice was stuck in his throat and disappeared, and his pair of blue pupils were still firmly nailed to the silent silver-haired youth in uncertainty.

For a moment he didn't know what to ask.

How come you are not dead?

How come you are here?

How did you... become younger?

Claude's brows became tighter and tighter, his teeth clenched unconsciously, and his muscles tensed to the highest point.

However, the two silver-haired men who came out of nowhere to attack Claude didn't take this opportunity to attack, because they were also staring at Sephiroth.

Unlike Claude, who was on guard, these two were more suspicious.

Four people, three forces, stood in a triangle on the vast wasteland.

A hot wind blew past, a few gravels rolled, and a roar broke the silent confrontation.

Sephiroth raised his head and jumped back, dodging the motorcycle falling from the sky, and at the same time saw the people on the motorcycle clearly.

It was a silver-haired boy with a delicate face, androgynous, a pair of blue-green eyes looking gloomyly at Sephiroth under the silver bangs.

"boom!"

The motorcycle hit the ground and coincided with one point of the triangle.

Until the three silver-haired brothers with similar looks stood together, Sephiroth finally confirmed one thing - they looked somewhat similar to himself, and even gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

It's just that the three of them were not mentioned in the setting book. Could it be that Hojo did some strange experiments with his own cells?

Sephiroth narrowed his eyes again.

The other four people who had been paying attention to him suddenly moved together, their postures were different, but generally they were more vigilant.

"Sephiroth." The silver-haired boy who came last was the first to speak. He jumped off the motorcycle and spread his left hand towards Sephiroth, "Why are you here? Or is this another one of your backhands? Ah, I see, it seems that you don't trust me and Roziazu, and decided to come to Mom by yourself."

The silver-haired boy looked at Claude: "Brother, it's time to hand over mother."

"I don't know what you're talking about!" The astonishment on Claude's face slowly faded, and he returned to his initial lifeless indifference.

At this moment, Sephiroth said suddenly: "He should be talking about Xenovia."

"?!"

As soon as these words came out, the four of them were shocked.

What surprised Claude was that Sephiroth would explain to himself, wondering what kind of conspiracy it was.

But the three silver-haired brothers were more surprised and angry than Claude: "Sephiroth! How dare you call mom like that? Do you want to betray mom?!"

"...Mom?" Sephiroth sneered, "That kind of thing is not my mother."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the three silver-haired brothers attacked him, and even their initial target, Claude, was temporarily put aside.

Among the three, the short-haired youth used a double-edged sword, the long-haired youth used a firearm, and the last one with the strongest physique used a special glove that could discharge electricity when it touched the target.

The three cooperated tacitly, but unfortunately they were not strong enough to cause any harm to Sephiroth.

As for Sephiroth, since there was a blond young man watching over him, and the situation was unclear, he didn't take it too seriously.More observation than fighting.

Observe the attacking movements, fighting habits, and their identities of the three silver-haired brothers...

The familiar aura he sensed from them became stronger as the battle progressed.What's even more strange is that when Sephiroth's blade cut a small cut in the short-haired boy's clothes, the small cut healed up in an instant.

It was as if the clothes on them were made of some kind of energy.

Perhaps, so are their people.

This mild battle was finally interrupted by a series of passionate notification sounds.

Among the three, the short-haired boy withdrew from the battlefield, took out his phone and opened it while guarding against Claude who was still hesitating.

Not knowing what the person on the other side of the phone said, he suddenly became furious, glanced at Sephiroth again, suppressed the anger heavily, turned over and jumped on the motorcycle: "Let's go."

"Boom!"

Two gunshots sounded, and the long-haired youth used two bullets to give himself and his brother a chance, and immediately stepped back and jumped into their respective driving seats.

Sephiroth stopped and stood where he was, watching the three of them gallop away. In an instant, only him and the blond youth named Claude were left in this area.

Seeing that Sephiroth was looking at him, Claude was taken aback, and quickly raised the big sword that he didn't know when to put it down.

In his opinion, Sephiroth hadn't attacked him before because he was held back by those three silver-haired strangers. Now that the three had left, Sephiroth would naturally come to settle the matter between them.

In the end, he was already mentally prepared, the handsome silver-haired hero just glanced at him lightly, then turned around and was about to leave.

Claude was taken aback again, and subconsciously took a step forward: "Sephiroth!"

When calling Sephiroth, Claude didn't even think about what he was going to say, but subconsciously felt that he couldn't let him go away like this.

That's right, Sephiroth... No matter what Sephiroth wants to do now, since there is a chance to face each other, he must find a way to figure out the other party's plan and stop him!

Whether Sephiroth wants to continue destroying humans, or help Xenovia occupy the planet, Claude will stop him again no matter what!

A searing pain suddenly ignited from Claude's left arm like an electric shock!

"Well!"

He swayed, frowned, and shook his head, trying to see some strange pictures in his mind out of his brain in this way.

Of course he understood what had happened to him.

Starmark Syndrome.

This is a disease that began to spread gradually after the planet stopped the disaster meteorite with the river of life two years ago.

People who suffer from this disease will first have black scars on some parts of the body, and then the scars will become larger and larger, until when it is severe, black mud will emerge from these scars. At that time, the patient himself It's almost gone.

Everyone said it was the anger of the planet, a punishment for the destruction of the planet by human beings in the past——

Due to the excessive exploitation of Mako (planetary energy) by Shinra Corporation, the energy cycle of the planet itself has been destroyed. In fact, just looking at this desolate area can understand how excessive exploitation of Mako will affect the environment.

After the catastrophe two years ago, although Shinra Corporation fell, the damage to the planet has never been recovered, whether it is the lack of magic energy or...

"hiss--"

Claude gasped again, because of the burning pain from his left arm, and also because of the pictures that couldn't get rid of in his brain.

Those blue-green pupils are like countless nightmares, they will appear in front of Claude every time Starscar Syndrome occurs, no matter how hard he tries, he can't get rid of them.

The huge physical and psychological pressure made the blond young man crumbling. Although he still gritted his teeth and stood up straight, anyone could see that he was at the end of his strength.

Sephiroth stood five steps away and quietly looked at Claude with a painful face.

Facing the murderer who killed "himself", he was at peace, and even when Claude moaned in pain for the third time, he stepped forward decisively and grabbed the other's left arm with his right hand.

"you!"

Claude was about to shake off the hand subconsciously, but for a moment he forgot the force value of this man.

So under this flick, not only did he not get rid of Sephiroth, but he almost staggered Claude himself.

The scar on his left arm seemed to have noticed something, and the onset of star scar syndrome suddenly aggravated.The blue-green pupils that kept flashing before Claude's eyes were almost connected together, forming a fluorescent green that was as dazzling as magic liquid.

In this floating light, the pair of vertical pupils that are close at hand seem particularly blurry and distant.

It wasn't until the burning sensation on his left arm gradually subsided, and the hallucinations in front of him gradually subsided, that Claude regained his clarity while panting.

By this time, Sephiroth had let go of his arm.

Driven by some kind of omen, Claude lifted the cloak on his left arm that was originally used as a shield.

Under the black cloth, the skin on the arm was smooth, and the black scar that had been spreading and could not be stopped disappeared without a trace like a hallucination of Claude.

"..." Claude slowly raised his head, and looked at the silver-haired young man who took two steps back to distance each other with a complicated expression.

At this moment, he could finally confirm the vague guess in his heart.

"...You lost your memory too, didn't you?"

……

In the lower slums of Midgar, a group of children ran through the streets stepping on puddles.Their soles picked up some sewage and splashed to the door of a nearby store.

After the figures of the group of children disappeared at the end of the street, the puddle regained its calm, reflecting the gray sky above.

Since the disaster two years ago, the metal disc that had been blocking the sunlight in the slums has disappeared. Although the former Seventh Street and the surrounding areas were destroyed, at least the entire slums can see the sun again. From this perspective, the upheaval and disaster also had good aspects.

Another good thing is that the Shinra Company was finally overthrown. The behemoth that once dominated the entire planet collapsed and disintegrated, and the mining of Moko was temporarily stopped.

Planet, finally had a period of respite.

In a bar on the side of the street, a young beauty stands behind the bar and wipes a glass.She was wearing a well-fitting black leather jacket, her jet-black hair was scattered behind her head, she had a beautiful appearance and fair skin, but she frowned slightly, appearing preoccupied.

When the beauty inserted a glass back into the cup slot, there was a sudden roar of a locomotive outside the bar.

The black-haired beauty's eyes lit up, and the sadness on her face was instantly swept away.She stretched her arms and ran from behind the bar to the door of the bar.

When she pushed open the glass door, two people just got off the black locomotive outside.

One was the blond young man she had been thinking about day and night, and the other was...

"Tifa!"

"Sephiroth!"

The voices of Claude and the black-haired beauty overlapped, but their movements were different.

Cloud pushed away the goggle on his face, while the beautiful woman named Tifa clenched her fists as if preparing to attack.

The former was startled, and immediately glanced at the silver-haired young man beside him from the corner of his eye, and at the same time stopped him quickly: "Tifa, don't be impulsive. He has lost his memory."

"Cloud?" Tifa slowly stood up straight, but the surprise on her face never dissipated.

She glanced at the silver-haired young man who was looking around without any response, grabbed Claude and dragged him aside.

She didn't stop until she walked five meters away, and asked in a low voice, "Claude, what's going on!"

Claude was silent for a moment, then said solemnly with a full face randomly: "Sorry, Tifa, I know this sounds unbelievable, but Sephiroth has indeed lost his memory."

"I think he's not only lost his memory, he's come back to life!" Tifa couldn't help but glanced at the young man five meters away, who was already attracting the attention of passers-by because of his appearance, "He even... gone."

Tifa bit her lower lip, and the brow that had just been relaxed was furrowed again.

Claude sighed, and just about to continue explaining, he heard the childhood sweetheart in front of him continue: "No matter what...let him go in first."

"it is good!"

Sephiroth walked into the bar under Claude's signal, of course ignoring the vigilant and complicated eyes of Miss Tifa.

The reason why he walked with Cloud was because he discovered that there were far more things happening in this world than he saw in that set.

Originally in the setting set, Claude should have just been rescued by the special soldier Zacks, Zacks fought against Shinra and died, and Claude inherited Zacks' weapons and continued to flee.

But now, even the Shinra Building has disappeared, and Zack's death happened seven years ago.

Under Sephiroth's intentional misleading, Claude believed that Sephiroth, like himself, had amnesia and memory confusion.Coupled with Sephiroth's ability to heal Starmark Syndrome, Cloud finally brought Sephiroth back to the stronghold.

Tifa over there has always been cloudy and uncertain after hearing that Sephiroth lost his memory, until he heard that Sephiroth can heal Starstreak, he was pleasantly surprised: "Really?!"

"Well, that's why I specially invited him back to help treat Denzel. And..."

Before Claude finished speaking, he was held down by a slender finger on his lips.

"Okay, I understand." Tifa stopped him, smiled, and then looked at the young man who had been quietly waiting by the side: "Then please, Sephiroth."
