Sephiroth fought.

It was a battle he was doomed to lose; he had known it was doomed from the instant he had taken up his mother's emblem of the golden chrysanthemum. He had made his choice, and his choice was his mother, not the emperor.

He fought in her doomed attempt to undermine Hojo; set Sephiroth on the throne and depose both Hojo and Crown Prince Genesis (he would not think of the rumors; whispers of incest between Jenova and her eldest son, though he was another woman's child). Blood and steel flashed in the night sky, and Sephiroth fought.

I love that movie. ^^ The visuals especially, and that battle you're describing was beautiful. (Tragic too.)

I love that movie SO MUCH. (And Prince Jai was the only character that I didn't want to slap, OMG).

The visuals. HOMG, the VISUALS.
