Sephiroth brushes off Cloud's outrage by calling him a вЂњ puppet' while dropping a piece of Jenova that becomes Jenovaв€™LIFE for the party to fight.

Sephiroth, acting through the body of Jenova, swoops down from the ceiling and kills Aerith.ДЄ livid Cloud demands to know why Aerith had to be murdered. Cloud comes forward and is nearly compelled by SephirothвЂ™s will to kill her, managing to resist and step away. Their investigation leads them to an underground part of the city where they find Aerith praying to summon Holy. The party, finding the place eerily silent, spends the night before a strange sound wakes them. The scientist was barely able to make out the words 'key' and 'music box.'Д¬loud Strife and his party visit the Forgotten City in search of their comrade Aerith Gainsborough, the last living Cetra who left the group to invoke Holy in hopes of averting the cataclysm Sephiroth plans to cause with Meteor. This area holds a spring and an altar.ДЄt some point a scientist visited the Forgotten City and tried to decode the ancient writings on the floor of the orb. Below the ground level is a hidden 'castle' with medieval-style towers connected to the surface with a staircase made of light. Within the 'upper city' there are several crystals that when touched give off a flash and cause the current main character to explain they heard something they didn't understand. The area's general layout invokes an aquatic motif many of the buildings have a shell-like appearance and the ground resembles the sea floor. The city's inhabitants incorporated nature into their buildings, many having roofs made up from conch shells and other organic materials. The city contains a machine, which allows one to communicate with the planet, and an underground section with several crystal buildings surrounding an altar. Many of the remaining houses still contain furniture and artifacts indicating the area appears just as it did when it was abandoned. The city was the primary capital of the ancient Cetra civilization, but after the Calamity from the Skies struck the planet nearly wiping out the Cetra, the few survivors gradually assimilated into human culture and the city has been an abandoned ruin for a long time. It is located in the Icicle Area inside Corel Valley, beyond the Sleeping Forest, and far to the east of Icicle Inn. The Forgotten City, sometimes translated Forgotten Capital, and also known as the City of the Ancients ( еЏ¤д»ЈзЁ®гЃ®йѓЅ, Kodai-shu no Miyako ?), is a ruined city in Final Fantasy VII. Activate the machine in the center of the city (Part II).
