The Beginning of the End.

Crimson eyes narrowed as they watched the intruders enter the Pulse Vestige. She could not stand this. Intruders barging in as if they owned the place. What made it worse was that the supposed to be sergeant of the Guardian Corps soldiers were on their side. She would not have this...
The woman stood up abruptly from her leather chair, startling her comrades. She quickly walked out of the computerized room, her calf length raven black wavy hair flowing gracefully. Her crimson eyes were bright and stood out from her tanned skin. Her left eyes were covered by her swept side bangs. The woman wore a black long sleeved silk blouse reaching her thighs where it ended with frills. As for her bottom, she wore black pants made for military use and reached her legs, therefore hiding her donned high heeled boots from the world. Over her blouse was a black jacket that reached her mid cage. On her back was a large black scythe strapped.
She smirked as she thought of the screams of pain that would be escaping from the intruders mouths very soon...She was going to obliterate them all...
She was, after all, Cocoon's strongest soldier.
Agana, the Blood-Thirsty Destroyer.
"Is that my hero?" whispered a weak and tired Serah as she let her eyes gaze on the love of her life, Snow Villiers.
Snow was a big and tall man with light blond hair, blue eyes and a stubble beard. He wore a black bandana, black gloves, gray boots a light blue vest and a striped blue scarf hanging from a belt under a long beige trench coat.
Serah was a young woman with pink hair tied to the side of her head. She wore a red plaid pleated skirt lined with black lace, a white sleeveless dress shirt, a semi-transparent sweeper in the same style, black thigh-highs, ivory ankle boots, and a bandage on her left bicep.
"Let's get you out of here..." Snow said before he was suddenly cut off by another woman, Lightning.
"Hands off, I'm taking her home." Hissed Lightning.
Lightning was a woman who looked like Serah. She too, had pink hair which was styled to fall over her left shoulder in soft, gentle waves. She wore a light brown turtleneck shirt along with a necklace with a lightning bolt pendant underneath a white soldier uniform. On her left shoulder was a green metal pauldron with two glowing yellow stripes. She had a red cape attached to her back on the left side, and a brown belt below her bust. She also wore two dark blue fingerless gloves with gold plates over the knuckles, a long black sleeve over her left arm that begins from her bicep, and a brown mini-skirt. She had two bracelets on her right bicep. She also has a slightly unnoticeable navel piercing.
"Sis...I-"
"I am not your sister!" Lightning said before she looked back at Serah's side, with a sad look on her face.
"It was your fault...You couldn't protect her..." The pink haired woman whispered.
Suddenly, Serah spoke up.
"You can...save us all..."
This caught Lightning and Snow's attention almost immediately.
"Save Cocoon..." Serah said.
"Save Cocoon? Was that your focus?" Lightning asked desperately.
"Anything...I'll do anything..." Serah spoke.
"Leave it to me...You'll see...I protect Cocoon! I'll protect everyone!" Snow said with a burning passion as he looked at Serah's eyes with a burning passion.
"Just relax..." Snow added, as he watched Serah smile before she sudden;y started glowing blue and floated on air. Serah managed to put her hands together before she was crystallized. Although it was strange to see a human crystallized, it was strangely beautiful.
"Why is she turning to crystal?" asked Vanille, a girl bright red hair tied back in two curly pigtails. She had striking green eyes that would remind people of polished emeralds. Both of her ears were pierced, adorned with small silver hoop earrings. She wore a light pink halter top, a short orange and yellow skirt, and yellow boots. She also wore a fur pelt around her waist, which she uses to attach her weapon. Her wrists were adorned with numerous bracelets, and she wears three beaded necklaces, along with an assortment of beads attached to various parts of her clothing.
"L'Cie who complete their Focus, are turned to crystal and gain eternal life..." a boy with layered silver hair and beautiful blue-green eyes said. His name was Hope. His outfit consisted of a short-sleeved orange and yellow jacket, a green scarf over a black shirt, and black gloves with white palms. He also wears deep green pants, a black storage pack hanging from a black belt, and light green shoes.
"Sweet dreams, Serah..." Snow whispered as he stared at Serah's crystallized form longingly.
"She's not sleeping! She's...Serah's..." Lightning growled out only to find that she could not form her words properly.
"No, she's not dead...Remember the legend? Any L'Cie who complete their Focus, are given eternal life! Serah's not dead!"
Snow took a deep breath as he calmed down.
"Serah's my wife-to-be...I promised to be hers forever... I don't care how long I have to wait-"
Snow was suddenly punched by Lightning.
"It's over! Time to open your eyes and face reality!" Lightning yelled as she huffed angrily.
Suddenly, the room shook as if an earthquake was happening. It became still before Vanille spoke up.
"What now?" asked a confused Vanille.
"The army!" said a man with an afro cut hair. His name was Sazh. He wore a long, olive coat over khaki trousers, a white button-down shirt, and black buckled engineer boots. The strange thing about him was that he had a baby Chocobo, inside his afro hair.
"This must be a Sanctunm Strike!" Sazh yelled.
After all of the commotion had ended, Snow started to walk towards a door.
"Trench are you going!" Sazh exclaimed as he stared at Snow's back.
"A date with the Fal'Cie...I've got some things to talk about..." Snow replied, earning Sazh a shocked look.
"What! You gonna ask IT to help her! Are you out of your mind, kid! That things wants to chew us up and spit us out!"
Snow growled.
"What do you want me to do then!"
Then, Lightning suddenly walked past Sazh and Snow silently. "Lightning?" Snow muttered as he watched his supposed sister-in-law walk past by him, heading towards the door.
In the end, they all followed Lightning without much rejection. They continued walking until they reached a hall, where a creature of mechanical arms and body stood there.
"Serah is a crystal now! You gave her a Focus and she completed it! You got what you want! So let her go!" Snow commanded upon the still Fal'Cie. When it was obvious that the Fal'Cie was not going to response, Snow dropped onto his knees.
"Please let Serah go...I'll be your L'Cie instead!" said Snow as he looked down only to receive a scoff from Lightning, who had her gunblade ready.
"Fine...You go on begging...Like this thing gives a damn about what we want!" yelled Lightning as she started to strike the Fal'Cie only to find to her dismay that her attacks were not even making the creature move.
Suddenly, a bright glow appeared as the Fal'Cie started to move. Two odd arms appeared along side with the Fal'Cie, Anime, signalling that Anima was ready to battle.
Hope started to run back only to find that a force shield had erected and was now preventing everybody from escaping. While this was happening, Lightning, Snow and Sazh got themselves ready for battle.
Then, hell started as Anima attacked ferociously as well as our heroes did. None of them were going to back down. The fight lasted for quite some thing and was getting frustrating for our heroes as Anima would always regain its arms back every time our heroes dispatched it.
Soon, our heroes got back into their fighting stance, waiting for Anima to make its move. However, anima started to glow brightly as it started to charge up, ready to blast off with its most powerful attack. Unfortunately, our heroes realized this a moment too late as they could only watch as the blast of powerful beam headed towards their way. However, their sights were blinded for a short moment. All they could see was a black wave clashing with Anima's attack, only to push back the beam until Anima's attack was completely negated. Then, another attack came in, only this time it was in a form of a black beam.
The black beam hit Anima with a monstrosity force. Our heroes watched as Anime was rendered powerless. They were about to burst into happiness before Lightning suddenly changed her gunblade into its shooting mode as she aimed it at one of the dark places above them and shot. The bullet seemed to have done its job as the mysterious person who had finished out Anima appeared in front of them.
Calf length raven black hair with bangs swept to the left side of the person's heart shaped face. Crimson eyes watched them with a cruel glint in its eyes. Lightning gasped as she realized who this person was. She narrowed her blue eyes as she held her gunblade that had reverted back to its sword form tightly, swinging it into an attacking position. Snow and Sazh looked at her questioningly.
"Be on your toes...The person in front of us is Agana, Cocoon's most powerful soldier..."
Agana smirked cockily when she heard what Lightning had said. Snow and Sazh got a panicked look on their face before they dismissed it. Vanille and Hope immediately rushed back, ready to fight.
Agana raised her black scythe as her weapon was covered with a black glow. Our heroes all raised their weapons and were about to attack before the defeated Anima started glowing again. This caught Agana off her guard as all of the participants stared back at Anima. Suddenly, six blue orb like magic appeared and each of them rushed towards each of our six participants.
Suddenly, they were in a black space as they all watched their surroundings. Agana gasped when she felt one of the orbs entering her body.
Suddenly, everything all went black for them...All they could see was a huge towering creature in front of them...
