Cloud’s past memories of him being a First Class SOLDIER had crumbled in his mind. At the Northern Crater, Sephiroth had revealed the truth about Cloud’s memories. Although his memories of him before he was a SOLDIER were true, Cloud was never the First Class SOLDIER, but only a Shin-Ra guard. It was a man named Zack who was the true First Class SOLDIER that befriended and challenged Sephiroth at the Nibelheim Reactor. Cloud traveled to the Nibelheim Investigation as one of the two guards that accompanied Sephiroth. Shameful and embarrassed about never making First Class SOLDIER, Cloud hid his face from Tifa under his Shin-Ra helmet. When Sephiroth had burned the town of Nibelheim, Cloud ran to the reactor to find Tifa. As he arrived he found both of them seriously injured by Sephiroth.
Cloud had run into the reactor, stabbing Sephiroth with Zack’s sword. Sephiroth struck back at Cloud, immensely wounding him. Cloud was unwilling to give up and threw Sephiroth into a Mako pit inside the Reactor.
When Sephiroth’s terror had ceased, Shin-Ra Company went to the Nibelheim Reactor to investigate the damage done by Sephiroth. Professor Hojo had found the bodies of Zack and Cloud and decided to use them for experimentation of the Jenova Project. For five years, Cloud and Zack were used as lab rats to Hojo in the Shin-Ra Mansion. The amount of Jenova and Mako injected into Cloud’s body brought him into a comatose. Zack had no reaction to the cells injected into his body and five years later he broke out of the Shin-Ra Mansion along with Cloud. Zack had escaped with Cloud who was still in a coma state, yet before they made it into Midgar, Zack was shut down. Cloud’s memories then joined with what Zack was, causing Cloud to believe he was Zack. Later on Cloud’s memories merged with Tifa’s thoughts, and Cloud believed he was the First Class SOLDIER who grew up in the town of Nibelheim.
