Actually, all the boys in town are doing this. So like Cloud goes to Midgar to enlist in SOLDIER. Since you know, he wants to impress Tifa so much and prove to her that he's as great as those 3 guys she hangs out with (or something like that) he took place in a certain Hojo experiment. Hojo got a bunch of guys and injected Jenova into them, thinking they'd result into strong, Sephiroth clones. Cloud, however, ended up to be a "failed experiment". Since Shinra didn't think he wasn't strong enough, he didn't make it into SOLDIER. He was still with Shinra, however. He became one of those blue-uniform guys ^^;; Since he was pretty ashamed that he didn't get into SOLDIER, during the visit to Nibelheim with Sephiroth (there have been complaints about monsters) he hid his face so that Tifa or anyone wouldn't recognize …show more content…
They also hire Tifa as their guide throughout Mt. Nibel. At the reactor with Sephiroth & Zack, they find out that the monsters ARE being created at the reactor.

He goes into the old Shinra mansion, locking himself in the basement library and trying to figure out his past ^^;; Soon, Sephiroth finds out the truth; that he was one of Hojo's experiments, and he's the son of Jenova and blah. This is the point where Sephiroth like goez insane ^^; He burns down Nibelheim the next day, kills Tifa's dad, slashes Tifa, almost kills Zack, and heads to the reactor to free Jenova (she's being kept here if I didn't mention that). However, since Cloud has some Jenova cells in him, even if Sephiroth pokes a sword through him, he doesn't die. He throws Sephiroth into some water-stuff in the reactor (hurray!). Afterwards, Cloud hands Tifa to Zangan (irk, forgot his name!) and Zack & Cloud run out of the reactor before Shinra catches up with them (they're pretty angry at them for killing their elite soldier Sephiroth ^^;). Cloud is pretty weak (I would be, too, if a sword was stabbed through me), and Zack and him head to
