Cissnei finding Zack at the beach.

Zack and Cloud Strife escape via the countryside and run into Cissnei, who reveals the Shinra Electric Power Company has dispatched her to capture the two. She is shocked the escapees she was sent to hunt down are Zack and Cloud, and seeing Cloud in a bad state agrees to let the two go, lending Zack a motorcycle with a side car for Cloud.

Zack runs into Genesis and his copies.

While on the run, Zack and a near-vegetative Cloud run into Genesis and his copies. Since Zack and Cloud are infused with S Cells, Genesis wishes to take the two to stop his degradation. A Genesis copy tests Genesis's plan by eating a lock of Zack's hair, but this turns the copy into a monster.

Zack travels to his hometown of Gongaga to see his parents, but Cissnei appears to warn him that going to Gongaga is too obvious and Shinra will expect this. Genesis and Dr. Hollander, now a Genesis copy himself, attack, and Zack kills Hollander. The person who Zack thought was Angeal Hewley who protects him and Cloud is actually Director Lazard, now an Angeal copy, dying of the same degradation Genesis and his copies suffer from. Lazard has inherited Angeal's feelings of honor and wish to save the world, which is why he is helping Zack.

Spoilers end here.
