Hey so here it is. Please tell me what you think. I can't get enough of action and awesome fight scenes so I got bored and wrote this.
Chapter 1
The sky clouded over. Wakka turned to look at the mage behind him. Her black dress rippled in the wind as her ebony braids twisted through the darkening air. Alabaster skin shone vividly against the blackness that enveloped her. He looked into her only visible crimson eye. He knew instantly that something was terribly wrong.
"What is it Lu?" She slowly shook her head.
"I don't know, but we're about to find out."
Lightening split the sky and peal of thunder shook the ground. In that instant Wakka noticed a massive vortex stemming down from the clouds overhead.
"Up their!" he yelled, pointing to the anomaly in the sky.
He turned to Lulu to see her intense gaze already cast upward.
"Stand back Wakka, it's a sky wyrm."
Wakka looked at her incredulously.
"I'm not going anywhere Lu! We're in this together."
He looked back up to see a long emaciated creature break through the cloud tunnel, translucent wings extended menacingly. Wakka braced himself shifting his stance as he got ready to aim with his spiked blitzball.
The wyrm quickly plummeted toward the crouched blitzball captain and the stoic black mage. A tremendous screeching roar escaped the creature as it hurtled downward, its claws flexed and wicked tail whipping through the wind behind it.
In the next instant Wakka unleashed his lethal blitzball with all his might, it tore through the wind in a scathing arc. The Wyrm spun to the side just missing the ball and continued it's inexorable course straight to the ground.
Cursing his aim Wakka dove to the side just as the wyrm skimmed over the earth, flinging chunks of rock and dirt into the air as its sinuous body tore by. Wakka only had time to role back to his feet before he had to flip to the side to dodge the wildly flailing tail.
He caught his ball as it zoomed back toward him just as he landed. Looking over his shoulder he saw the slight figure of Lulu standing in the exact spot she had been and he marveled at the ability of someone so small to withstand such a massive creature.
"Wakka this isn't the time for mistakes!" She yelled over the howling of the wyrm as it arced through the air overhead.
"Maybe you should be worrying about the 40 foot monster that's trying to crush us right now!" He retorted, frustrated at her ability to be critical even in life and death situations.
Lulu had stopped paying attention to him however and had already raised her arms up to form a circle above her head. Time seemed to stand still for a moment as the magic circulated through the air, the windswept mage casting her arms in the air, sable tresses floating around her sanguine visage, the silvery wyrm contorted in the air above. Wakka could only stare in awe at the immense beauty and power that ensconced Lulu in that moment.
Then it had passed and a burning white glyph materialized on the ground directly beneath the wyrm, which shot up into it with an audible roar. The conflagration completely inundated the fiend in a blinding explosion of flame.
A few seconds later Wakka had recovered his vision enough to see the wyrm convulsing in agony as it fell toward the ground.
"Good one Lu!"
"It's not over yet." She said calmly, and as if on cue, the monstrosity righted itself mid-fall, flapping its wings wildly, creating powerful winds.
"Now Wakka! Strike while it's distracted!" She shouted over the tremendous gusts that were wracking the fields.
"My pleasure!" He called back as he started sprinting toward the foundering wyrm. With a few quick leaps he was atop a nearby ruin where he had a better shot.
"Take out the wings Wakka!"
"Right!" he called back, sending the spiky ball spinning through the air toward the vulnerable translucent wings. It struck perfectly this time, ripping clean through the side of one wing and nicking the edge of the other.
A horrible screech rang through the air as the wyrm cried out in anger. In the next moment it rose up into the air, body arched venomously.
"Lu?! I don't think that really helped too much!" He cried as he caught his ball again. Suddenly the wings began to shimmer violently and countless points of light shot from them into the sky.
"Wakka get down from there!" Lulu shouted just as the photon rays were tearing through the clouds directly above him.
Unable to move in time the searing light rays cascaded down upon Wakka annihilating the structure he was standing on.
………………………………..
As the dust settled Wakka suddenly realized as he opened his eyes that somehow he wasn't dead. Slowly he sat up in the burning rubble to see the entire world sheathed in glittering orange bars.
He sat up, aching all over from the fall but gratefully surprised to see that his body was still intact. Looking over at Lulu he saw the mage gliding through the flames toward him.
"Wakka, are you hurt?" Her normally controlled voice, wavered slightly as she said this. Looking up, Wakka saw lines creasing her otherwise perfectly featured face.
"Lu, are you actually concerned about me?" he asked with a grin as she cast her eyes frantically over his body to make sure there were no serious injuries. After his comment she leaned back, her patented, placid, aloof expression replaced on her visage.
"Of course not Wakka, I knew that by having you disable its wings the photon attack would be significantly weakened. After that it was no problem placing a shield spell on you to repel it."
Wakka looked around the incinerated ruins as she stood up and cast her gaze back toward the debilitated sky wyrm.
"Didn't look too weak to me."
Standing up, Wakka brushed ash and dirt from his yellow blitz uniform.
The shimmering orange bars of the shield spell had disappeared by now but he could still feel its power vibrating in the air around him, ready to spring to life at any moment. He could feel Lulu's presence in every tendril of magic that brushed around his body.
He would never tell her, but her loved every moment of it.
"Let's finish this." Lulu said, shaking Wakka from his reverie.
"Right!"
"I'll lay down a cover of thunder bolts for you, the shield spell should block any magic it throws at you, just worry about dodging any physical attacks. Get in close to gain accuracy and finish off its wings."
Wakka looked at the battle hardened black mage. Ebony colored hair completely obscured the side of her face as she looked at the wyrm. She turned to face him, throwing him off slightly with her intent glare.
"Can you handle that?" She asked severely.
"Yea, yea no problem, ya?" He said rather annoyed at the unnecessary question.
He turned, walking toward the wyrm just as it began slowly ascending higher, laboring violently with its tattered wings.
He slowly picked up his pace into a jog and then broke into a run as a dark, shadowy ball of energy began to form in front of its arched body.
"Lu! The gravity!"
"I see it!" She called back.
Just then a bolt of lightening flashed from out of nowhere and struck the wyrm in the face. Rather than dissipating, the gravity spell erupted from the wyrm's reach and exploded in a cacophonous droning roar.
The air around Wakka seemed to condense and blur out in all directions. He continued running as the shield spell blazed to life fighting back the crushing gravity force. It held for a few moments, but without warning the already weakened shield ruptured and the blackness engulfed the blitz captain.
He tried to let out a yell of pain but his lungs were too compressed to release air. All he could do was come to a staggering walk and try to withstand the immense pressured that pressed in on him from all sides.
Just when his head felt as if it would implode, the gravity spell completed and air rushed back into Wakka's lungs.
"You're going to pay for that, ya!" Wakka gasped as best he could.
He started running again, still shocked by the immense power of this fiend.
The wyrm had dropped back to the ground and was standing before Wakka with its tail poised in the air above its head.
Suddenly it began slamming its tail into the earth around it sending hunks of earth hurtling toward the sprinting blitzer. Dodging one he suddenly realized that another five were hurtling from above.
Just when he was about to dive to the side, a series of lightening bolts exploded into the hunks of earth and burst them into harmless showers of dirt.
"Good one Lu!" He shouted more to himself than to her.
In a few more moments Wakka was within range of the wyrm and unleashed his ball at its haggard snarling face. A moment before it hit, a mound of ice coalesced on its tail, distracting it so that the ball tore viciously into its left eye.
Yet another blood curdling screech echoed across the plains as it flung its head into the air and swung its ice block of a tail down toward Wakka.
He jumped just in time causing the ice to explode into the ground but a stray ice shard struck him hard in the side. Landing a few feet a way he looked down to see blood welling up from a gash. He doubled over, squinting in pain after catching his ball.
"Lucky shot!" Ignoring the searing pain, he dropped the ball and kicked it upward into the wings. In the next instant lightening exploded directly above him, blocking the wyrm's claws from tearing into him.
Another roar told Wakka that his ball had struck true and he looked up to see the entire left wing torn in half.
"That'll teach you not to try to burn me alive!" He said with a laugh.
He began running to the side to get in range to catch his ball but pain seared through the entire right side of his body with the first step.
"Damn it!" He yelled as he fell to the ground.
Knowing he was in trouble Wakka looked up just in time to see a set of claws scything toward him.
Before he could do anything a pool of water materialized directly in front of him and with a tremendous roar crashed into him washing him across the field.
Coughing and spitting moments latter, Wakka sat up to see the wyrm's feral gaze fixed on the black mage who had cast the waterga spell. His chocolate eyes widened in horror as the massive creature flung itself into the air, dwarfing the slender figure of the mage.
Wakka watched in amazement as a dark sphere of negative energy coalesced behind the wyrm wrenching it back in mid air and slamming it to the earth.
In the next instant the entire world seemed to go dark as a series of tremendous explosions and shockwaves tore into the prone figure of the wyrm, it's screeches of pain barely audible over the din of the ultima spell.
He could only sit in awe as he saw pyreflies begin to ascend into the air as the wyrm finally let out its last wretched scream. Moments later, Lulu was running across the ravaged field toward the limping Wakka.
"You're hurt." She said, grabbing him around the waste just as he stumble into her.
Wakka was shocked at his decreased reaction time and the haziness of his vision.
"Nah, I'm fine Lu," he slurred as the world began to spin around him. Looking down at his side he saw that his entire right pant leg was soaked through with blood.
The next thing he realized, he was lying in the grass and Lulu's ghostly face hung somewhere in the brightening sky above, tears glistening in her eyes.
He vaguely remembered shouting and the faces of more people gathering in his fading view. The last thing he thought he heard before everything went black were the words,
"Don't you leave me too!"
