Oh, shut up and help me remodel the Chapter 5 (Crisis Core) page!
Chapter 5, also known as Protect Your Honor and Protect Your SOLDIER Honor[note 1] is the fifth chapter in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. The chapter comprises the events when Zack Fair is sent with Tseng on a mission to Modeoheim. There, Genesis Rhapsodos is fought, and Zack confronts Angeal Penance, which serves as the chapter's boss.
Story[]
The Shinra helicopter crashes to the mountains.
Zack is sent to the abandoned town of Modeoheim in the frigid wastes of the Northern Continent, as Genesis is rumored of having been seen there. He is accompanied by Tseng, and a Shinra infantryman named Cloud Strife. Their helicopter is shot down by Genesis's forces and the group is forced to trek through the snowy terrain. Zack and Cloud bond over both being "country boys", and Cloud comments his desire to one day get into SOLDIER, Zack encouraging him.
At Modeoheim, Zack and the team finds an abandoned warehouse used by Genesis as a base. Zack infiltrates the facility and rescues Hollander from Genesis, who has come for vengeance against Hollander due to Hollander's failure to stop his degradation. Zack intervenes against Genesis, while Cloud stops Hollander leaving. Genesis declares that he has decided to look for cells from Jenova—the extraterrestrial life form Shinra initially mistook for a member of the Cetra race—for a cure, but Hollander protests that no one knows where Jenova is stored. Genesis then fights Zack, but Zack defeats him, causing to fall into the abyss below the warehouse, after which he is presumed dead. Hollander successfully flees into the town of Modeoheim while Zack pursues.
At a ruined bathhouse, Zack finds Angeal and Hollander. Hollander tells how Angeal is the true success of Project G, having Jenova's power of a two-way genetic conduit, able to pass on his genes and take in those of other organisms. He also explains that the "G" in Project G stands not for "Project Genesis" but for Project Gillian, named after Angeal's mother Gillian Hewley. Hollander had injected Gillian with Jenova's cells in an attempt to create a human with the powers of the Cetra. While Genesis was injected with Gillian's cells resulting in an incomplete version of Jenova's power leading to his current degradation, Angeal received his mother's cells directly while in the womb and thus grew up into a perfect specimen.
Angeal dies and passes on his legacy to Zack.
Angeal then says that he did not kill Gillian, but that she had taken her own life. Angeal, no longer wishing to be a monster but knowing Zack would not kill him, absorbs several different copies and turns into a hideous creature, Angeal Penance, so Zack can defeat him. Zack does so, and Angeal passes on his Buster Sword and the legacy of SOLDIER honor to Zack before he dies. Dr. Hollander is captured. With all three major threats to Shinra gone, the Genesis War seems to be over.
