Much to Cloud's dismay, he was unable to join SOLDIER and became a mere infantryman. However, he was one of the few people selected to protect Professor Rayleigh from the insurgency group known as Avalanche, during which he displayed a great amount of skill with a sword in spite of his ranking. Around this time, Cloud would eventually befriend a 1st Class SOLDIER named {{s|wikipedia|Zack Fair}}.

Cloud's life was changed forever when he, Zack, and Sephiroth were sent to Nibelheim to investigate a faulty reactor. During the mission, Sephiroth discovered a lifeform named Jenova and came to believe that she was his mother. He went insane, destroyed Nibelheim (which killed Cloud's mother in the process), and wounded Zack and Tifa. Cloud retaliated by ambushing Sephiroth and, despite being impaled by his sword Masamune, managed to defeat him by using Masamune as a lever to hurl Sephiroth into a pit of Mako within the reactor.
Cloud's life was changed forever when he, Zack, and Sephiroth were sent to Nibelheim to investigate a faulty reactor. During the mission, Sephiroth learned the truth about the being Jenova he believed was his mother and the truth about his origins. He went insane, destroyed Nibelheim (which killed Cloud's mother in the process), and wounded Zack and Tifa. Cloud retaliated by ambushing Sephiroth and, despite being impaled by his sword Masamune, managed to defeat him by using Masamune as a lever to hurl Sephiroth into a pit of Mako within the reactor.


Afterward, Cloud and Zack were captured by Shinra's corrupt head scientist, Professor Hojo, and experimented upon to test Hojo's Reunion Theory, a facet of the Jenova Project. This experimentation resulted in Cloud becoming as powerful as a 1st Class SOLDIER, but also rendered him catatonic. Four years after being deemed failures during the experimentation, Zack eventually escaped with a weak and delirious Cloud in his arms and attempted to flee to Midgar.
