Memory #19
Memory #19: In the Lifestream [Canon/head-canon/implied/novels] (Negative Trivial)
What He Remembered:
I. But she couldn’t figure out the truth. Her thoughts just went in circles. Aerith delved into her memories again. Memories that showed Cloud’s individuality. The way he walked. She remembered all his actions one by one…
Most of those thoughts merged into the Sea of Mako and awakened a character. The character recognized the image she recalled and "he" woke up.
"Aerith… Is that you?"
At first, Aerith couldn’t remember whose voice it was because it was so sudden. Panicking, she turned round and saw a nostalgic face she hadn’t seen for five years. He was her light taste of first love. He was also now a very dear friend who she hadn’t seen ever since she heard nothing from him. He had the same character she saw in Cloud. Zack who had blue eyes that proofed he was in Soldier appeared before her. He had an image inferior to Aerith’s solid image.
"Zack! Does that mean you’re dead too?"
Although usually Aerith wasn’t the one to ask obvious questions, it was the first thought that came to mind and she spoke out as if it was a reflex. Besides that, it was odd that such a seasoned and highly skilled Soldier would die. Even though she didn’t know his whereabouts, she was sure that he was safe and living peacefully somewhere… She blamed herself for blindly believing in such a thing. This cruel reality was a strong shock for her.
""You too?"… Does that mean you’re dead too, Aerith? Well, I was going to say the same thing anyway and then… How should I put this… Give my condolences?"
"You haven’t changed one bit."
No matter what happened, Zack never lost his cheerfulness. As if saved by his cheerful personality, Aerith smiled weakly. Even though she knew that he was a member of Shinra’s Soldier, it was that part of him that was charming to her.
"Lots of things happened. All terrible things. It all started when I was dispatched on a mission to the rural Nibelheim."
"Nibelheim?"
"Yes, do you know about it? That time, I was together with a very famous Soldier that was known as a hero. He suddenly went mad…"
"You mean Sephiroth, don’t you?"
Aerith swallowed her breathe. She believed that there was a meaning to why Zack appeared. She had a feeling it was linked to something.
"That bastard really is famous. Or was it because you read about the huge Nibelheim massacre in the news?"
"You were there at the time, Zack? Then what about Cloud…?"
"Woah woah, hold it there! How do you know about Cloud too? And is he safe?!"
"You know Cloud too. There really is a Cloud, isn’t there?"
The two of them quickly exchanged what they knew. And then Aerith knew. She knew that Cloud wasn’t just a cloned doll made for Sephiroth. She also knew why she saw Zack in him now.
Zack also knew. He knew the current state his close friend was in now. The friend who got involved together with him in the incident as they got hunted down by the Shinra. He also knew that Sephiroth was going to be resurrected and become a threat not just to Nibelheim but to everything on the Planet.
"Zack… What should I do so that Cloud will know about the truth about himself? Can you tell him that he’s real?"
"It’s impossible for us to do it. The only one who can do it is that girl that was there with us in Nibelheim, Tifa. If the memories she has could draw out the memories in Cloud then maybe…"
"That’s going to be hard. But I won’t give up. I’m sure there’s a chance."
Aerith’s face brightened now that there was hope. "When that’s done, Cloud and the others will be able to do something about Sephiroth. They’ll be able to remove the obstacle that’s suppressing Holy.
Before long, the chance came.
II. Tifa embraced Cloud tightly as he returned to his senses. Aerith watched as both of them returned to the surface while smiling like an affectionate mother.
It was a dazzling sight for Zack.
"Man, you know Aerith. Out of all the girls I’ve gotten along with, you truly are the best. After that mission, we could have stayed the way we were and might have been able to continue to go out with each other after I returned home. I hate Sephiroth. And I hate Shinra who’s been hiding all the stuff they’ve been doing."
"Someone who’s gotten along with so many girls can never become a lover."
"How mean. I’m nice to everyone."
"And that’s your bad point. You’re not simplistic and awkward like Cloud."
"Is that what you liked, Aerith?"
"Who knows. Things might have changed after five years."
"Heh."
Zack put on sad face as if he was sulking but then smiled carefree. It was the unchanged smile that Aerith knew from when they were young. When she was seventeen, it was what attracted her to him.
"It’s not over yet but, I’m going to sleep for a while. It seems there’s nothing I can do just now. But whenever you feel lonely, call me Aerith."
"Only if I get really lonely. Goodnight, Zack."
Giving a wave, the First Rank Soldier sank into the Mako. Believing that his role was not yet over, Zack settled down to sleep to save up his energy.
III. "Hey Aerith, did you see Cloud’s finishing?"
Zack guided his energy into the second wave as Meteor was thrown back losing its force. "That was one my sword techniques too. Doesn’t it make you fall in love again?"
What This Means:
And then Zack got an infodump of Final Fantasy VII's plot and found out that Sephiroth killed his girlfriend and that his best friend was having an identity crisis and thought he was Zack. :'D
All in all not a HUGE IMPACT memory but. Yes.
