Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7: Reunion PC Playthrough Part 10 - The Last Stand
1Zack & Cloud escape via the countryside & run into Cissnei, who reveals Shinra has dispatched her to capture the two. She is shocked the escapees she was sent to hunt down are Zack & Cloud, She saw Cloud in a bad state & agreed to let the two go, lending Zack a motorcycle with a side car for Cloud.
While on the run, Zack & a near-vegetative Cloud run into Genesis & his copies. Since Zack & Cloud are infused with S Cells, Genesis wishes to take the two to stop his degradation. A Genesis Copy tests Genesis's plan by eating a few Zack's hair, but this turns the copy into a monster.
Zack travels to his hometown of Gongaga to see his parents, but Cissnei came to warn Zack, telling him that going to Gongaga is too obvious and Shinra will expect this. Genesis & Hollander, now a Genesis Copy himself, attack, & Zack kills Hollander. The person who Zack thought was Angeal who protects him & Cloud is actually Lazard, now an Angeal Copy dying of the same degradation Genesis and his copies suffer from. Lazard has inherited Angeal's feelings of honor & wish to save the world, which is why he is helping Zack.
Zack puts together where Genesis has been hiding for so long. Genesis is always carrying a Banora White apple, and thus must have been hiding in Banora the whole time. Zack leaves Lazard to look over Cloud while he makes his way into an underground cavern beneath the cratered land that used to be Banora Village. The land is inundated with lifestream, whose power makes the apples ripen on the surface.
Zack finds Genesis hiding at the end of the cave with a statue of "the Goddess" holding the Goddess Materia, a gigantic natural Materia. He claims the epic poem LOVELESS to now be fulfilled as the three friends the epic speaks of are "reunited", with Zack inheriting Angeal's will & Sephiroth's cells. Genesis absorbs the Materia's power, transforms into Genesis Avatar, & engages Zack. Zack defeats Genesis Avatar & Genesis returns to human form.
Now healed of his degradation by the Goddess Materia, Genesis fights Zack, but is defeated. Genesis finds himself in a place filled with lifestream and sees the statue turn into the goddess herself. As he approaches her, the goddess sees his desire to complete his duty as SOLDIER, and acting as the will of the lifestream, prevents him from returning to the Planet so he may one day achieve his goal.
Zack drags Genesis's limp body up to his campsite to join a comatose Cloud and a dying Lazard in a bizarre picnic of half-dead bodies. Lazard had just fought Shinra soldiers, with the help of a canine Angeal Copy, which Zack recognizes as the same one that defended Aerith at the church years ago. Both are dying from their wounds and degradation.
Zack gathers everyone with Banora Whites & symbolically completes the re-enactment of LOVELESS, with Genesis as the Prisoner, Angeal (represented by his copies) as the Wanderer, and Zack is the Hero. Zack bites into the apple, fulfilling Genesis's childhood dream in spirit. Through his fight with Zack, Genesis has realized the true Gift of the goddess: SOLDIER honor.
As Lazard & the Angeal Copy die & fade away, a letter is left behind, one of eighty-nine Aerith sent during the intervening 4 years, & the last she sent before giving up on receiving a reply. Zack is shocked to discover he has been gone for 4 years, desperate to return to her, makes his way toward Midgar.
After Zack & Cloud depart, Nero & Weiss, take the unconscious Genesis away leaving his book of LOVELESS behind. Genesis's disembodied voice recites the final act of LOVELESS, which appears onto the book. Whether this is the original final act he had finally found, or his own conclusion to the saga, is left ambiguous.
Tseng commands the Turks to find Zack & Cloud before the Shinra army save him, before Zack can reach Midgar, the Shinra army tracks him down. Although Zack fights valiantly, he is overwhelmed & mortally wounded. Left lying on a precipice looking over Midgar, Zack feels his life fading away, as does Aerith tending to her garden a few short miles away.
A confused Cloud is finally beginning to recover from the Mako poisoning & gain some awareness. He sees his friend dying and Zack tells Cloud he will be his "living legacy". Like Angeal before him, Zack passes down the Buster Sword & his SOLDIER honor to Cloud. Angeal descends from the sky as an angel to bring Zack into the lifestream. Cloud wanders into Midgar as Zack's lingering voice tells Cloud to say hello to Aerith for him, & asks if he has finally become a hero.
