Cloud Strife: An Alternate Story of New Beginnings
It began one fateful evening, as Cloud stood looking over Edge. The sun casting the world a brilliant golden hue as monsters bayed in the distance.
Something beautiful, yet pain was all he could remember whenever he thought back to it. Excruciating pain, so vast and absolute within and around him that he blacked out during the first Jump. And several more Jump's after that before he finally got used to it enough to stay awake through the process.
His life depended on it, after all.
Cloud's second Jump brought him to the conclusion he was being pulled into alternate versions of his world, for reasons unknown.
Around the 5th Jump, he came to realize he couldn't control it, no matter how hard he tried. It didn't stop, didn't go back to his world. Only forward. Continuous, constant. The only rest that he found during the peaceful worlds, if he was lucky enough to Jump to one between the more dangerous versions.
Something he never thought possible. The fact an alternate version of his own world could possibly be worse.
But he soon learned. The life and death battles he would suddenly be thrust into against alternate Sephiroth's, among other things, showing him such. The way the worlds could alter drastically compared to his own leaving him reeling at the sheer difference among them. Some with nothing in common with his own world at all.
It was his 47th Jump when it happened. Another world different from his own, yet promising answers he had started to give up on. A world of ruin, and new dangers.
This is where his story truly began once more, after leaving that fated cliffside all those years ago.
The story of an Alternate Fate, of Beginnings, where none had traveled before him.
The story, of Betrayal.
