The master Soldiers whipped their weapons around for another clash, the one's Wutaian naginata grating against the edge of the other's Masamune. They sprang back, long braids whipping across their leathers, and the smaller Soldier dove in to threaten the other's abdomen while the taller one swept his blade down at his opponent's neck.

They froze like that for a moment, a fraction from killing one another, then withdrew and bowed.

Cloud jumped as Zack clapped a hand on his shoulder. "Not too shabby, huh?" he asked.

Cloud could only nod. General Sephiroth and Colonel Aeris made a flawless team.

"Cadet Lockheart!"

Tifa snapped to attention, newly-sheared hair brushing her cheeks - she still couldn't get used to that. "Sir!"

Sarge gestured her to the ring with a growl. "Let's see you demonstrate that counter, hotshot. And don't show off!"

"Yessir!" Tifa climbed boldly into the ring and stood ready before her opponent. Zack offered a reassuring grin as he moved into a fighter's stance, but it couldn't detract from the lethal grace in his body and the wickedness in his glowing eyes.

Tifa should have been nervous, going up against a Soldier First Class, but all she felt was excitement.

She was barely sixteen, somber and ghostlike in the white robes that were a Wutaian symbol of mourning. "Lady Yuffie," Tseng said, making his bows. "As Shinra's representative, allow me to extend my deepest regrets for the loss of your father."

The girl's expression didn't change. "House Godo thanks you for your concern," she said stiffly.

"As always, count on Shinra's support, as I hope we may count on yours against these Avalanche terrorists." Tseng inclined his head respectfully - and paused.

"Your pardon, Lady Yuffie, I seem to have lost my wallet."

The girl on the dais finally smiled.

Lucretia was pregnant for longer than was safe or possible sane, and in the end had to be drugged and her womb cut open. The boy was perfectly formed, well sized, and strong. His twin sister was smaller, but otherwise seemed to be perfect. Hojo was pleased.

*****

“Identical in every way, except gender,” the report read. Both were stronger and more intelligent than normal humans. Hojo dreamed of the race of perfect beings that would spring from the two.

They had other dreams, ones of fire, blood, and conquest.

*****

One disappeared at Nibelheim. One was sent to Deepground.
