Chapter 32

'Internal thought'

'CHAOS SPEAKING'

~ (Time and/or story focus shift)

Chapter 32

He almost chuckled as the angered sound echoed in the cavern. 'So predictable.' Sephiroth felt Yazoo tense and saw the guilty fear in his blue-green eyes. As the former General looked toward the slave in the dark tunnels, he allowed a cold, victorious smile to cross his face. He leaned down and whispered low in the Remnant's ear, "Caught you."

Standing at his full height, Sephiroth motioned for Sin to enter. The winged slave took quick, fearful steps to his Master. Once he felt he was close enough, Sin fell to his hands and knees, trembling as he bowed low to stone floor. Before he could speak though, Sephiroth raised a gloved hand, calling for silence, "All of you should be punished for thinking me fool enough that you could hide this from me. However, I am aware that the two currently physically present do not deserve most of the blame. It has been too long since Valentine was put in his proper place. Sin, I assume Chaos is also separated?"

"Yes Master."

Sephiroth looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding to himself, "That would explain the emotional imbalance. Looks like I will have to fix this while we are here this week. It seems I need to have a talk with our little rebels. Sin, send the demon out first. Fully."

Black and crimson eyes widened in surprise but he quickly obeyed, "Yes Master."

The tense atmosphere of the cavern became overcharged as pale skin and purple fur faded away to steely, silver-gray flesh. The furred tail withdrew and the multi-hued hair shifted to an impossibly dark black, raising into gravity defying spikes. Sephiroth made a small noise of amusement as the tattered, black pants also shifted. The dark leather swirled and clung to the muscular legs, causing a strangely intricate spiral pattern of torn fabric, "Interesting. Even if the clothing is nearly destroyed, he molds it to suite him."

Brilliant golden eyes snapped up at the deep mocking tone, "You sound just like your pathetic excuse for a father, bastard."

The demon rose to a wary crouch and Yazoo immediately recognized that what had been scars on pale human flesh now appeared as intriguing, tribal-style red markings on the muscular gray frame. Sephiroth gave a cool look to the winged being, "Now, now. Is that any way to address your Master, demon. As I recall, Hojo had you so much more...submissive when he was done with you."

Chaos growled at the emphasized word, "I never lowered myself to submitting to him. He may have broken my body and mind but I never called him Master and I won't bow to you either, you mutated half-breed."

Yazoo winced at the cold rage emanating from the former General. He could hear the creaking of leather as a gloved hand clenched, also indicating the fury that was building into the stoic, stone faced man. Sephiroth's face contorted into a frown as cat slit eyes narrowed at the demon. "Half-breed? My blood is pure. I am my own where as you, the legendary demon Chaos, have been caged inside a pathetic human vessel."

A sadistic smirk started to play on the pale face. Chaos watched the man step forwards, boots crunching on dirt and stone. His fist clenched and a warning growl rumbled from his throat, gold eyes watching the once dead man closely. 'Do not underestimate him…’ whispered Vincent's voice into the back of his mind. Chaos scoffed at the thought, “The other tells me not to underestimate you, half-breed, though I see nothing in front of me worth fearing. A child born of experiments and alien matter has no right in this world. You are an abomination. A plague.”

Sephiroth was but a few feet from the winged man, eyes bright with bitter anger, glowing from the Mako that pumped through his tainted veins. His jaw clenched, teeth grinding with every word that spilled through the creatures mouth. This slave to the planet had no right to insult a being of higher power such as himself. It was the dirt beneath Mother's feet and it would bow down to him in the end. It would beg for mercy, none of which he would give if he had any at all.

Chaos instinctively side-stepped as a fist burning with eerie green flames flew past where he had been standing mere seconds ago. The demon gave off a slight shudder as the air around them grew quieter and dropped rapidly in temperature. His deep, growling voice echoed in the cavern, “Hm, it seems Hojo Jr. does not take too kindly to any words used against him. Why is that, I wonder?”

Glowing eyes were hidden from gold by a veil of silk like silver strands, only the bottom half of his face showing. Chaos frowned as that sadistic smirk came back onto pale lips and the deceptively seductive voice returned. “Are you forgetting who your master is slave?”

“And have you forgotten that I am not your slav-“

Sudden pain shot threw his neck, cutting him off as the silver collar glowed with a slight electrical charge. The silver spike sent the electrical current down his spine and through his nerves to every part of his being. He could hear both Vincent and Sin hiss in pain in the back of his mind, the gunman's strength lowering slightly because of his carelessness. Raising his head to glare at the silver haired man, whose finger lay resting on the yellow gem in the bracer, Chaos hid his hand at his side, a current of dark energy building in the palm of his hand.

“It is good to see you on your knees, where you should be.”

Yazoo held back his gasp and took a step back from the pure malice and insanity his big brother's eyes. It was worse then any look Kadaj had ever held and it sent a tremor through his body. 'This…this cannot be Sephiroth. This is…this is a man with no soul of his own. A puppet. Like Kadaj…and...Loz too... ’

Sephiroth threw his leg out toward the demon, boot colliding with a pointed chin. The demon jerked to the side with a grunt as blood dribbled down a pale lip.

Chaos smirked, bloody teeth showing through the devilish grin, “Hmm… Feisty. This I should enjoy.”

His leg swung out, the swift movement almost unnoticed by Yazoo though Sephiroth easily avoided the blow. He smirked as the winged demon flipped away.

“Hmph. You are nothing. This will be easy.” Sephiroth took a step forward, eyes closing as his hand held out to the side, a silver glow emanating from the fist. The shimmering light shifted, shaping itself as it sharpened and grew in length, taking on a familiar shape. Masamune manifested in its master's hand, the glow fading and jade eyes brightening with malicious intent, “On your knees. Beg for forgiveness.”

“Won't happen, even in your grandest dream, half-breed.”

And with a leap, Chaos was off the ground and flying towards Sephiroth, easily dodging the long blade of Masamune. The blade came down toward his back and his fist intercepted it. His leg shot out at the silver haired man's side. An arm grabbed the appendage, twisting and swinging the demon to the side in a mid air spiral. The sword thrust forward once more, catching a leathery wing is its sensitive webbing and tearing a bloody hole.

The winged man slid to a halt on one knee, golden claw digging into the ground. The energy in his right palm crackled as he pushed off from the wall he had slid into, shooting at full speed toward the enemy, twirling to the side when the blade sliced his way. His arm collided with the man’s chest, pure black energy shooting into the silver ones body. “Its over," He growled mockingly as a silver head dropped.

Moving to pull his arm out of the bloody wound, openly enjoying the feel of blood sliding through his fingers, he was stopped as a gloved hand jerked up and grasped his forearm. Chaos' gaze shot to the general’s face, where a menacing smile crossed over the wounded man’s beautiful features. Cat's eyes bore down into stunned gold, they’re bright mako-enhanced hue chilling the demon. A vicious growl tore from Chaos’ throat as he attempted to remove his arm from the man's scorching grasp, green Mako flames licking at his skin.

Instead of pulling the appendage out, Sephiroth pulled the demon’s arm closer while thrusting it further into his chest, enjoying the feeling of sharp talons piercing through his body.

Yazoo watched in horror at the scene in front of him. Blood gushed openly from Sephiroth’s chest, not fazing the man at all. ”Brother, what…”

Cold eyes turned to his face and, as their eyes connected, the younger man was brought to his knees. Ice darted down his spine, his body froze and his breathing slowed. Fear… fear that he hadn’t felt since his days in the labs. It was like he was looking into the man named Hojo’s eyes. Tears spilled down his cheeks as his hands barely held his body up. Lips trembled as memories of torture, experiments, pain, and loneliness filtered through his metal barriers.

“This is our fight, bastard. Leave him out of it!" Chaos struggled, pain flowing through his body. He was practically shoulder to chest with the man, the cold air intensify the closer he got.

Sephiroth chuckled, the sound evil and chilling. His tongue slipped out, running itself a lone silvery cheek, causing Chaos to jerk his head back as his growl grew to a roar, shaking the ground under them. Pulling the demon closer again, Sephiroth bit down on a bloody lip. His hand grabbed a fist full of jet black hair, pulling the demon's head back and at a sharp angle. Before Chaos or Yazoo could anticipate what was going to happen, Masamune was thrust up into the demon's stomach, exiting between winged shoulder blades.

“I believe…that it is only beginning. Now, give me Valentine, slave.”

A/N: Thank you to SapphireDog for helping me with this chapter! Also, if you guys are interested, I am also posting this on DA under frizzycrls

Shu
Seph and Yazoo!! What a beautiful image.. hmm... Seph knows about Sin and Yazoo in the first place or does he not? He obviously suspects something >_<

I actually thought Sephiroth might want to claim Sin for his own, from Vincent's memories regarding his contact with little Seph.


Writer's block D:

Can't really help you, but shall review more ya! Hope to see more soon!!
Frizz:They are such pretty boys aren't they? Wait till you see what happens to Vince!

SapphireDog
Oh god. :o One winged angel with the pole up his ass is back >:O RUN YAZOO YOU POOR FOOL! RUNNN! And ho snap! Sin's in shit now XD Im starting to love the ball of fur and wings. And now I wonder what the punishment will be *wink-hint-nudge-hint* Yet I can see VINCENT getting the shit kicked out of him (horribly) by Seph on orders of Sin letting Vince out...

I find that the best cure is to think out a scene in your head and run it through a few times till you got what you want the write it down little by little and play with it till your satisfied. Or read something else and wait till you get an idea of your own. Thats how most of my come about. XD Ill be reading something then out of no where, the next chapter idea for my story pop into my mind XD

anywho, hope next is out soon ya? and if you have to, resort to asking people (like ASOTA and I) who have been following along with this fic from the beginning. That helps too :D

C. Sapph.
Frizz: Yes Seph is back! Once again thank you soo much. And yes they are in a hell of a lot of trouble aren't they.
