Zack and Aerith CC

Zack after meeting Aerith.

Falling into the Sector 5 slums church, Zack lands into the flower bed tended to by a slum dweller named Aerith Gainsborough. Aerith calls to him until he comes to, and Zack offers her one date in the slums in return. During their date, Zack salvages a kid's wallet from monsters, and buys Aerith a pink hair ribbon, which she takes a liking to. Aerith reveals she fears the SOLDIER and the sky, as she has lived her life under the plate and rarely sees it. Zack reveals he is a member of SOLDIER, and his eyes have a glow due to having underwent a procedure of Mako enhancement. Aerith comments that if sky resembles Zack's eyes, it won't be so scary after all.

Zack and Aerith's date is cut short when Zack is called to return to the top of the plate due to another Genesis attack on the Shinra Building. This time, the attack targets Professor Hojo, Shinra's head of Science Department. While Sephiroth is sent to secure President Shinra, Zack is sent to Hojo's aid, and Angeal decides to take aside and helps Zack.

Genesis confronts Hojo who rebuffs him and claims Hollander is a second rate scientist who will not be able to cure his degradation. Genesis quotes passages from LOVELESS, believing the "Gift of the goddess" spoken of in the epic would cure him. Hojo mentions it has a missing fifth act with only a single line remaining: "Even if the morrow is barren of promises, nothing shall forestall my return". However, there are many theories on the story's conclusion. Hojo disregards LOVELESS and the Gift of the goddess as unscientific, and Angeal and Zack beat the Genesis Army out of Midgar. Genesis flies off, summoning a Bahamut Fury, which Zack defeats.

Spoilers end here.
