John was watching as Cloud and his group was fighting Sephiroth. Cloud and Tifa were the frontline while Aerith was the backline as Sephiroth seemed to have a balanced fight between them.
Sparks were flying left and right from the impact of the weapons against each other as Sephiroth was beginning to be pushed back if he were to only use his physical strength as he suddenly used Blizzaja making a little snowstorm appear in the Crater blocking everyone's sight.
He disappears and appears behind Aerith as he tries to make the competition smaller only to find out that his sword was stopped by Aerith's staff that was coated in Haki.
She pushes him back as she uses Firaja canceling the Blizzaja that Sephiroth used when suddenly another spell went for him as she says, "Flare!"
Suddenly a small ball went for Sephiroth who seemed to underestimate the small ball as he tried to catch it only to find out that it exploded when it got in contact with his hand making a big cloud of smoke appear.
Sephiroth resurface from that smoke cloud as he swings his sword and it was gone as well as some holes appeared in his clothes as he asks, "Is that all?"
Then he rushes at Aerith again when suddenly Cloud was rushing at him making both clashes in mid-air when Tifa came from the flank with a flying kick towards Sephiroth who pushes Cloud back and retreats making Tifa miss.
But Tifa just redirected her direction as she suddenly disappeared from Sephiroth's eyes and appeared behind him and tries to roundhouse kick him when she notices that the blade of Sephiroth would cut through her leg reinforcing it with Haki as the blade didn't cut into her leg but her attack was nullified because of the sword.
Sephiroth used the force behind the kick to make some distance as he says, "You all learned many new tricks in the short time Zack wasn't with you all. But the world will end anyway."
He was smiling at them thinking he had won when someone that was behind him says, "You are pretty sure of that but to tell you the truth you are already dead."
Sephiroth swings his sword as he turns to look behind him only to find nothing when the voice says, "Oh, someone got nervous it seems."
He turns around again to find the person speaking to him only to find air again as he suddenly feels a hand on his head and he flies towards the ground.
John was quite visible now as he says, "You guys have half an hour. If he isn't dead by then, I will do it myself."
John was floating as he erected a barrier stopping Sephiroth from escaping while Cloud and Tifa rushed at Sephiroth while Aerith was preparing a spell for Sephiroth.
Tifa began to go faster and faster as she seemed to appear in one place only to appear in another in a blink confusing Sephiroth while Cloud was quite straightforward attacking him directly when Aerith shouts, "Evade!"
Both disappear as suddenly a big green ball flies towards Sephiroth who gets hit head-on by it as he was having some small wounds here and there while only his pants remained on his body.
Sephiroth lifts his hand as he says angry, "I have had enough let's end it here."
He turns his hand as they suddenly appear in an illusion of the Universe and Sephiroth says, "Try to defend against this."
"Supernova," says Sephiroth as the three were looking at it when all three suddenly were surrounded by an aura as Cloud began to rotated his sword over his head.
Aerith suddenly created a barrier that stopped the Supernova to hurt them while Tifa suddenly made a combo attack on Sephiroth before kicking him into the air when Cloud finished him with the Omnislash he learned from John as his new sword split in seven and he rushed from sword to sword striking Sephiroth who still was defenseless.
Once he was stroke down by Cloud as he hit the ground a sword appeared cutting through the illusion with John being behind the sword.
He pierced through Sephiroth's head giving him no chance to escape by bringing the Soul Stone out and letting it absorb Sephiroth's Soul while Tifa says, "I thought we had half an hour to finish this."
"Time works differently here," says John as he swings Yamato and the illusion disappeared bringing them back to the Crater as Sephiroth's corpse was lying there lifeless.
John then burned his corpse and made a hole while using Sephiroth's sword as a tombstone and buried the ash there making Cloud ask, "Why are you burying him?"
"Everyone deserves a grave even if he was evil," says John as he finished with this chapter of his journey when Logan/Alfred appeared and took the Soul Stone from him.
"Great Work like always," says Logan/Alfred as he looked at the Soul Stone.
"You could have come later when the family was together," says John as Logan/Alfred smiles at him.
"I could but then we couldn't talk like this. I and Jack talked long about it and we came to the conclusion to change the rule concerning how many people you can take with you increasing it permanently to five instead of four," says Logan/Alfred looking at Aerith.
"What about Nesiara and our children?" asks John as Logan/Alfred smiles.
"That is Jack's work since Nesiara is his candidate," says Logan/Alfred as he was slowly disappearing when Logan/Alfred pressed his finger against John's chest over his heart and something entered his body.
John felt pain in his chest running over his whole body before it stopped making him fall onto his knees when John asks, "What was that?"
"Just a little gift that I got as well. It might not develop fast because you aren't a Saiyan but it should still have a decent progress. Also, you will be leaving in a year," says Logan/Alfred as he then completely disappeared.
"Are you alright, John?" asks Aerith worried as John nods standing back up.
"Yes, receiving powers hurt like hell. Also, you heard him we will be parting in a year," says John as the others seemed to misunderstand what he meant.
"So you won't return once the year is over?" asks Tifa worried to lose some of her friends.
"I think you misunderstood what I and Logan said. We will return since Yui will begin to live here after all," says John as he looked up and says, "But we should go up there and return to Midgar."
"Good idea," says Aerith with a smile on her face as the four begin to fly upwards.
Once out of the Crater they flew towards Midgar while Nesiara was with the others when Jack appeared in front of her.
"It seems you completed this world. It seems its time to give you something back," says Jack as he snapped his fingers.
Nesiara, as well as the other three, began to feel some pain run over their body when a tail appeared over their arses while Nesiara didn't grow one because she already had one that was invisible to everyone that couldn't see through the illusion she was using.
The others were worried about them as they pulled their weapons out and pointed it at Jack making him say, "You made good friends on your journey. Maybe a bit reckless but still good friends."
"Don't worry they are alright. They just awakened something that was sleeping for a long time in their body. Let me give you something special for saving your world," says Jack with a smile as he snapped his finger again.
Midgar began to dissolve slowly while a city was slowly built where they were standing when Jack looks at them and says, "You are welcome. Here is a map with where everyone will be living in."
He hands a map to Reeves who was standing beside everyone ready to fight Jack when he took the map and many names were written everywhere as Jack says, "Don't worry about electricity for a while but I think I will build a new Empire here with Reeves as the Leader of my company."
"Please don't. It was already hard enough that you build one in Kirito's world," says Yui as Jack smiles at her.
"Just think of it as an investment for the school you want to build. You could get the money from that company and make the school bigger with even dormitories and take care of the children inside the School Property," says Jack as he was already thinking ahead of everyone.
"He is right, Yui. You will need a lot of money to complete that dream of yours and that would be your best shot," says Nora as she was the most intelligent one behind John who wasn't around right now.
"*sighs* Alright," says Yui defeated by Nora and Jack as he took a black card out and a tower appeared in the middle of the street having Crownguard written on it.
Then on the outskirts of the new city, a school emerged out of nowhere with enough space to fit the whole city if an emergency were to happen as Jack then smiles and says, "Welcome to my world, Yui. Now you are the Owner of Crownguard's Industry and Director of the Crownguard School."
"I really wished I wasn't," says Yui as she was holding her head when everyone began to laugh seeing her like that.
"I don't think Shinra would dare to compete with you because of your family alone," says Barret as he thought that with this the final nail was hammered down to bring Shinra down.
John and the other three were overflying the new city as everyone looked confused and Cloud says, "This is new."
"Not only for you," says John as he knew that Edge would take years to get build as even after two years it was still under construction.
Suddenly Tifa sees a shield and reads it and she screams, "Argh, someone stole my name!"
"What name?" asks John as she pointed at the building with the neon shield saying '7th Heaven'.
"If I get my hands on them I will kill them," says Tifa as the name and her bar was everything she had beside Cloud.
"Crownguard's Industry, wait a minute," says Tifa as she turned around towards John while pointing a finger.
"Your family is Crownguard," says Tifa as she pressed her finger against John over and over again poking him until her the finger was sore while complaining when suddenly the others arrived at their position.
"I should have known it was your idea," says John seeing Jack leading them.
"Of course your little group needs a nice hangout place after everything that happened and Yui will need to get her drinks from somewhere after she is done with her two jobs after all," says Jack as John and the other three looked confused until Jack told them that Yui would be the owner of Crownguard's Industry while being the Director of her own school.
"So this is all mine?" asks Tifa as the bar was a house with two floors, a basement, and a garage when Reeves nods.
"Yes, it's yours and Cloud's. Or at least that's what this map says," says Reeves as he looked at the map.
"Now let's go to the other houses," says Jack as everyone had a nice house in Edge that was built by Jack.
When they arrived at Elmira's new house that looked almost like a forest with all the flowers in it making it resemble the old house she and Aerith lived in when Jack says, "I transferred the flowers all here except the ones in the church. That way you won't have to move too much around."
As they arrived at the last house Jack says, "And this is the Crownguard Mansion. It was made to house the whole family and to please everyone's hobby."
And he was right as flower fields were outside the house while a giant Library was inside. It has its quiet places as well when Jack says, "Since you will be staying for a year you should live comfortably."
The group was more in disbelief because of the mansion is as big as the other houses from outside but once you stepped in the courtyard everything just widened making it large as it actually is from outside. Then Jack continued showing the office and the school so they could get a feeling of it.
Before the group could finally relax except for Reeves who had to get everyone to their new homes.
