The same night Nesiara handed the Master Magic Materia over to the people in the group except for her children that didn't need it. Then they all went to sleep as it was already dark.
The next morning everyone was well-rested as they met at the entrance when Red XIII seemed to be saying his goodbye to someone of his race that had lighter fur then Red XIII when it caressed Red XIII head with its own.
Then Red XIII came towards them and John asks, "Did you say goodbye to your sweetheart?"
"Something like that. I will return anyway once this is over," says Red XIII as everyone had a smile on their face seeing that Red XIII was coming with them.
"So where are we going now?" asks Cait Sith as they walked out of Cosmo Canyon while people were waving saying their goodbyes to them.
"Nibelheim is the next station," says Cloud as not only he but also Tifa and Zack had ugly faces just remembering about what happened there.
"Nibelheim was rebuilt after the Reactor explosion some years ago," says Cait Sith as the outside world didn't know that it was Sephiroth because Shinra was trying to hide his tracks so they couldn't be accused of it.
"That might be the version that Shinra told the world but the truth was that Sephiroth went rogue. He killed everyone and burned the city down. Only three people survived and they are all present here," says Zack as they jumped into the buggies while John with Nesiara shared the bike again.
They traveled towards Nibelheim while the atmosphere in the group was quite tense. Aerith was still thinking about her feelings while Cloud and Tifa were about to face their Demons. Zack as well never wanted to return to Nibelheim after what transpired there.
"So what can we await in Nibelheim?" asks Barret as he was driving since he had two hands again.
"A lot of Shinra Spies that's for sure," says Nesiara as John was driving between the buggies.
They fought against some monsters on the way when John looks at the group and says, "We will walk from here on."
"Why we would need a week to reach Nibelheim on foot," says Cloud complaining.
"I know but you need some stamina. In the Cave in Cosmo Canyon, you all were out of air after reaching the end of the cave," says John as everyone except for Zack was exhausted from all the fighting back them.
"Stamina is the most important thing in a fight. Even if you are strong if your body can't follow up it isn't worth much being strong," says John as he stopped his bike in front of the forest the needed to cross.
They needed to walk from there on as Justice stored the buggies and the bike away when John says, "Everyone take your shoes off."
"What are you going to do?" asks Tifa worried as Nesiara pointed at her wristband.
"You see this?" asks Nesiara as everyone nods when she continues, "This is a Gravity Wristband. Everyone wearing it will feel the gravity they programmed it on. We will do the same with your shoes just that they will be fixed on a certain gravity."
They take their shoes off and John places runes on them generating 5x Gravity for Cloud and Zack while the others had a 3x Gravity on their shoes. Cait Sith handed over the crown he was wearing while Red XIII's collar was enchanted.
They would take more than a week to reach Nibelheim as the group looked like a comedy troop walking rather funny than normal humans while trying to fight monsters when Tifa asks, "How high is the Gravity on your wristband?"
"Mine and John's are quite high we began with 15x Gravity, I think but now we are over 1000x Gravity. The siblings are at least at 200x Gravity," says Nesiara as Tifa just sighed from hearing that.
"Did you fought with the wristband active?" asks Zack looking at the siblings when they nod.
"It wouldn't be fair to deactivate it," says Kieron as he had it at 350x Gravity the highest of the three.
"I really am asking myself how you can walk that normally with that much pressure on your body?" asks Zack as Kieron smile.
"You adjust to it sooner or later. Logan was already in his billionsx Gravity when he taught me and I was like you well not really I began with 25x Gravity but I was moving like you," says Kieron as everyone was pale hearing could support that much on his body.
"Don't get the wrong image of Logan. He isn't really a human after all," says Nesiara surprising everyone even John who looked at her confused.
"My great-grandfather was a half-Demon and half-Saiyan. A Saiyan is a born warrior that gets stronger after every battle he fights. The heavier the injury the stronger they get. That went goes for everyone in my family except for me since he made me human again," says Nesiara as John looked at Nesiara understanding now why Gabriel was so focused on fighting.
They continued walking through the forest while training their stamina as they reached after a week the end of the forest seeing Nibelheim on the horizon when Cloud says exhausted, "We are almost there."
"We are but you should rest for now," says a voice surprising the group as Logan/Alfred appeared in front of them.
"Logan," says John as he looked at him.
"John, it's been long, almost two weeks," says Logan/Alfred as he looked at Zack and continues, "It seems you followed my advice and recruited Zack Fair. Good, he will be useful for your journey."
"What are you talking about?" asks Zack as he was holding a sword pointing it at Logan/Alfred when Logan/Alfred smiles.
"Come try it," says Logan/Alfred as Zack takes a swing when the tail around his waist catches the sword easily and breaks it showing them that he was strong before asking, "Anyone else?"
"No, well then let me finish him off for attacking a Godking," says Logan/Alfred as he disappeared and appeared again with his tail around Zack's neck.
"He is only a child," says John as he put his underarm between Zack and the tail.
"You are right but still. Let me give him a warning for attacking someone without thinking," says Logan/Alfred as he snapped his fingers a suddenly one half of Zack's face had a burning mark.
"This should remember him to never forget his place as well as the others," says Logan/Alfred when he looked at Nesiara.
"Why have you appeared?" asks Nesiara as Logan/Alfred smiled at her.
"To inform you that you are still a Saiyan just that your bloodline is blocked. You just needed to wish whole once again and you would have your Saiyan body back," says Logan/Alfred as he explained it to Nesiara that he only sealed her Saiyan Bloodline.
"Does that mean the Demon inside me is also sealed?" asks Nesiara as the newcomers looked confused at this when John shows it to them. He didn't have a problem with them fearing him.
"Of course, even if you scratched the surface back then when the hollow in you awakened," says Logan/Alfred when a second person appeared.
"You are talking too much," says Jack as the group looked at him surprised.
"And you less than normally," says Logan/Alfred looking at him.
"Anyway," says Jack as he snapped and continues, "If you complete this journey I will awaken your bloodline not that you really needed it."
"Ho, now you aren't playing by the rules," says Logan/Alfred as Jack stared at him.
"Because someone always bends them," counters Jack as Logan/Alfred holds his chest and plays as if he was wounded.
"You got me," says Logan/Alfred with a smile before standing normal again.
"We should leave and let the mortals do as pleased," says Jack as he looked at the group before looking at Logan/Alfred.
"You are right," says Logan/Alfred as both disappeared and John took a look at Zack and the mark Logan/Alfred left behind.
"Can you heal it?" asks Zack a John tried and he couldn't.
Nesiara tried as well but nothing happened. Then they tried an illusion but even that didn't work to hide it away as John read what was burned into the skin and says, "The man that didn't know his place."
"What does that mean?" asks Zack as both sigh at him.
"It means that only Jack or Logan can take away the mark. It was dumb of you to challenge a Godking even Dio was afraid of going against them," says John as the group opened their eyes wide imagining what else could have happened.
"What do you mean even Dio wouldn't go against them?" asks Zack not knowing Dio's real identity.
"What they mean is that even our God wouldn't go against them. That shows how strong they are," says Cloud revealing Dio's identity to Zack.
"We should rest for today and train a bit in the outskirts of the forest so you can adapt better to the gravity," says Nesiara as she wanted to let Zack rest for now until the pain he was feeling didn't get in their way of fulfilling their mission.
"But what about Sephiroth? He won't wait for us the whole time," says Cloud when John shakes his head.
"No, he will," says John with confidence as Cloud looked at him for a real answer.
"We have the Keystone and without it, he can't enter the Temple of the Ancients where the Black Materia is," says John making everyone sigh in relief.
"What if the Keystone gets stolen?" asks Zack since it was a possibility.
"Then he would need someone with the will of protecting the world to get the Materia out since everyone else would never be able to get ahold of it," says John as it makes sense that the Cetra would build a hidden mechanism to guard the Materia against people with an ill intention.
"So we can take our time training you for the fight against Sephiroth," says John making clear that Sephiroth isn't running away from them but was in a standstill for now.
"This is far too interesting," says a voice they couldn't hear as it was Sephiroth spying on them through the eyes of Zack without anyone knowing it.
Hope you like it. Hard day for me today since we buried my grandmother today.
