After hours of work, Tifa and Loz managed to finish cleaning up JENOVA Church and completely rid it of the war-torn damage it suffered. Meanwhile, Sephiroth made way for Mako Peak to report to JENOVA about the kingdom's overall condition and discuss wedding arrangements for her and JENBU, his sister Sephieroth also with him.
Chapter 25: Eternal My Mother& Her Legacy
(This section will focus on Sephieroth as the speaker) Me and Big Brother Sephiroth arrived at Mako Peak to meet with Mother. Mother smiled at us when we arrived and began "How does everything look?" Sephiroth answered "Its a bit messy from the war, but not even nearly as ravaged the way the war against Shinra left it. The mess we have now is little compared to that." Mother added "And what of my church?" I answered "It's good as new, Mother. Brother Loz and Sister Tifa did well cleaning up." She smiled and said "Good work, children! How about we begin setting up my wedding?" Sephiroth replied "Sounds like a plan. I'll have any area you choose as spotless as possible. Are you sure you want it to be your church, Mother?" Mother nodded in response, and said "Of course. Sephiroth, I want you to oversee the kingdom's repairment and make sure the messes caused by the last war are fixed as soon as possible. I will contact you whenever the wedding is completely ready." Sephiroth agreed "Understood, Mother." Then he turned around and flew away. Suddenly, I noticed Mother seemed sad for some reason. Before she could speak, I asked "What's wrong, Mother?" Mother began "I'm sorry, Sephieroth... very sorry. I never told you about what would happen to you when all war against my legacy ceased to exist..." I felt sadness and confusion sweep over me and said "Mother, what are you talking about..?" Mother started to cry, and continued "The only thing that was keeping you alive was the life energy generated by my will to overthrow Shinra and SAKUI, the final goal being eternal peace and harmony within my family and my legacy eternal... and since all of that has come to pass..." I suddenly realized what Mother was talking about, and found myself unable to speak. She was in such pain and sorrow all of a sudden. I was trying not to cry myself. I started "But Mother... what about my Brothers? Yazoo and Loz... and Sephiroth! What are they going to do when they find out I'm gone? How are they going to feel..? And poor Yazoo... he'll think his relentless efforts to protect me were in vain..." Mother answered "I know, my child... but there's nothing I can do about it. I'm sorry, Sephie... I don't want you to go, either, but there's nothing that can be done about it...." I replied "Mother, don't talk like that! You can do anything when you give it all you've got: make the impossible become possible!" Mother continued crying but didn't speak. I suddenly realized this was one thing she didn't know how to change; that she truly didn't know how to change any of this. I was unable to word my sorrow now, and so was she. I asked "How much time do I have until i fade into your lifestream?" Mother forced her tears aside and said "Only until sunset. You need to hurry somewhere where your gang won't expect to see you; its only a matter of time before that starts to happen." I noticed what she meant: it was already sunset. I suddenly realized why she told Sephiroth to patrol the kingdom instead of doing work with me: so he wouldn't have to watch me wither away. I turned around and bolted my wing, preparing to fly elsewhere and go unseen when i fade. I began "Mother, even though I'll be gone before I get to see Yazoo and my son Kaibu, please tell them and the rest of my gang I will never forget the wonderful times we shared together. And please, tell Sephiroth that even though my time with him was short, that I'm happy I got to meet him and fight together to protect your legacy." I could sense Mother crying behind me, and continued "Don't cry, Mother... I saved your legacy and helped you take back this Planet. None of your children will ever suffer again thanks to our work bringing down Shinra and dealing with SAKUI, and saving Father JENBU. Just think of how happy future generations of your children will be because of all of this.... don't cry over my death, Mother; I did all this so you could be happy." I managed a faint smile, and slowly flew off the ground and straight towards the horizon's sunset without speaking further. I felt Mother's cells desperately latching onto me, and her grief and sorrow inside of me. She did not want to let go; she didn't want me to die. But she was clueless how to stop me from fading into her lifestream. I felt bad about having to leave her like this, but there was nothing I could do. Suddenly, I stopped in midair, and felt a powerful force latch onto me, pulling me upwards at high speed. I realized Mother's lifestream was what was pulling me. I felt my entire body grow weaker and weaker. My vision blurred until all I could see was white light; I suddenly knew my time was up and I was quickly withering away as Mother said I would. I barely made out my words "Forgive me, Mother... for leaving you in pain like this... I'm sorry, Mother.." I felt my throat soften up, but managed some final words "Mother, don't give in to despair and sorrow... work together with my Brothers who survived, and I know you can somehow get me back... Just don't... give up..." After that, I found myself high above Mother's Planet, stuck in her lifestream. With Yazoo, Loz, and Sephiroth being alive, I was the only one left in the JENOVA Lifestream now. I suddenly felt lonely, reminded of my days I walked alone in hatred and sadness desperately trying to reclaim the Planet for Mother's Planet after Cloud Strife killed my Brothers. I had lost physical form completely, and could only rest in Mother's lifestream now. I hoped I could rest in peace despite feeling a bit sad, and laid down to relax myself in the endless green and white space. I closed my eyes, even though i knew i could not sleep being dead. I said "Yazoo, forgive me... and take care of Kaibu so he grows strong and healthy."
