Sephiroth: You can certainly hold your own, I'll give you that. Not bad for someone who only gained her powers recently.

Kat: At least I don't come with that confusing backstory of yours.

(They continue to fight. Then Sephiroth smirks.)

Sephiroth: An interesting choice, ice. It is capable of so many dangerous things, from mild hypothermia to devastating a country at its worst. However, in the end, the thing about ice is...

(With a big swing from the Masamune, Kat's swords instantly shatter.)

Sephiroth: ...nothing can change how fragile and weak it really is. (Kat stares at the shattered remains of her swords. Before she can bring out new ones, Sephiroth throws her against a rock face.)

Sephiroth: Now time to end this!

(He charges at her with his sword. As a last ditch effort, she puts up an ice barrier, hoping to redirect the sword like it did with Ethan earlier. However, Sephiroth keeps his sword straight, and Kat is stabbed in her side.)

Kat: Agh!

(She kneels down, holding her side, which is now bleeding quite a bit. With no other choice, she runs for it, shooting an ice blast at Sephiroth's face to distract him. As all of this happens, neither are aware of someone watching.) (Kat keeps running, her hand against her stab wound to try and stop the bleeding. She eventually runs to a dead end in the form of the top of a cliff, which seems to drop a sheer 100 feet. However, as she tries to turn around, Sephiroth materializes in front of her, leaving her trapped. She falls to her hands and knees in surprise. Sephiroth points his sword at her.)

Sephiroth: Again, I will at least say you know something about fighting. However, you are overall just pathetic. I understand why the mastermind is wary of your friends, but you? You haven't even mastered your powers. You're weak. You can barely even stand right now. Still, you might be given a chance to live if you submit. Don't want another stab wound do you?

(Kat looks up and glares at him.)

Kat: *censored* you!

Sephiroth: Pity.

(He readies his sword for the killing blow, while Kat turns her head away to brace herself. However, before Sephiroth can strike, he is hit and staggered by an ice bolt. Furious, he looks around.)

Sephiroth: Alright, who is asking to die?!

(In response, a mysterious cloaked figure jumps out and lands between Kat and Sephiroth. He stands with his back to Kat, as if protecting her.)

???: Leave now, Sephiroth. Or else. (Despite taking a ton of effort not to pass out, Kat can still tell the voice from the cloaked figure still sounds familiar. And when he had pointed at Sephiroth, she could see a familiar glove on his hand. The figure begins whispering to her without facing her.)

???: If you wish to live, you must trust me. Do you wish to live?

(Kat remains silent.)

???: Answer me! Do you wish to live or not?

(getting over the shock, Kat nods.)

Kat: Yes. I do.

???: Roll off the cliff.

Kat: Huh?

???: Trust me!

(Without another word, Kat gulps and rolls off the cliff. She plummets 100 feet to the ground, which is luckily covered in several feet of snow, granting her a soft landing.) (Kat struggles to her feet, but the stab wound is now bleeding profusely. She tries to hold it as she takes a step, but she has become too weak and falls, unable to get up. She looks up to the top of the cliff, trying to see what is happening, but her vision keeps phasing in and out.)

Sephiroth: You have just sealed your fate, fool.

(He charges, but the cloaked figure somehow teleports behind him. Sephiroth stops himself before he can fall, then looks at the mysterious person.)

Sephiroth: I would take my time finishing you and the girl, but the mastermind is calling me back. Mark my words, if I find out who you are, you will pay dearly for protecting her.

(With a wave of his single wing, Sephiroth disappears.)

???: I look forward to it.

(The cloaked figure then hurries down the cliff, swiftly climbing down the rocks. Kat only barely catches a glimpse of him standing over her before she passes out. The mysterious person picks up her unconscious body and takes her away.)
