Cloud eventually evades Shinra and ducks onto a train headed for Sector 7. It’s cut short as Shinra forces and more whispers arrive, and the two split up. Cloud scares them away for a moment and the two share a conversation. Sephiroth was a war hero that had supposedly died, but Cloud feels something in him deep down that makes him very, very scared of this visions.Ĭloud snaps out of it and eventually runs into a flower girl named Aerith who is under attack from some mysterious, ghastly force known as a Whisper that seemingly no one else can see except her and Cloud. He sees the burning of a town, and images of a man named Sephiroth, taunting him. The group splits up to evade being caught and vow to meet back up in the Sector 7 Slums, the location of their hideout and where Cloud’s best friend (and Avalanche member) Tifa lives.Ĭloud also breaks off but struggles with painful visions that he can’t explain. Their intent is to disrupt Shinra, not harm civilians in any way. When Avalanche arrives topside, they are greeted to a panicked populace and destruction and fires everywhere. Unbeknownst to Avalanche, Shinra may have had a hand in making the explosion look worse than it actually was. The explosion is a bit too powerful, though, (at least from the perspective of Avalanche) as the explosion causes panic in the civilian area around Mako Reactor 1. They plant the bomb developed by Jesse, Avalanche’s demolitions expert, and they flee the Mako Reactor before it blows up. Barret and Cloud, the most capable fighters, work together to bring it down. Effectively the city of Midgar is run by the President of Shinra, despite it technically having its own elected officials.Īlthough there is light resistance the operation goes well up until the point where a massive Shinra mech, the Scorpion Sentinel appears.

Barret, Avalanche’s leader, has hired Cloud to join him and his team to blow up Mako Reactor 1, and deal a blow to Shinra.īarret and Cloud are joined by Jessie, Biggs and Wedge, trusted members of Barret’s Avalanche cell of fighters.īarret is extremely passionate, and is initially distrustful of Cloud. In the case of Shinra, they are extracting a vital resource known as Mako which is believed to be the “blood” of the planet that they all live on. Avalanche is an eco-terrorist group that opposes anyone who seeks gains at the expense of the planet. The story begins with a mercenary and ex-SOLDIER named Cloud who has been hired by a group known as Avalanche to disrupt the operations of the Shinra Electric Power Company.
