Delta Island, central lake.
In midair, after Sephiroth sent Bullet flying, he flapped the Black Wings on his back and turned to look in a certain direction on the island, murmuring softly:
"Finally, the fish has taken the bait!"
Suddenly!
A thunderous "Rumble—!" erupted from the distant mountains, making the entire island tremble without end.

"Hahahaha!
