The train chattered along the rusting railroad tracks, bouncing violently
as each corner approached.
A man sat staring out of the window, just looking intently at his reflection. There he saw his face in the cracked glass. Red eyes that had seen many bloodied battles, many friends die in the fight for peace, many homes and people destroyed. His face had a scar, running down his left cheek, just as the rickety train tracks run through the mountains.
A mouth that had swore many promises, words and enemies; he finally gazed upon his, long matted hair. This was the face of Zidane Tribal, the warrior of all times past and present. He took one last look at his face as the rain started to patter on the glass looking as though he was crying. He felt somewhat angered at his reflection and turned away, and he faced his wife and child and started to remember the good things he had.
The train continued to run along the tracks knocking leaves off the delicate branches as it travelled at such a high speed. Finally it began to slow as it reached Lindblum, he was on his way to see Regent Cid, a dear friend who had helped him many times before.
The train came to a stop at the station and he strode of in the direction of the palace, for the latest crisis that hindered peace once again was the revolt of Black Mage's. They terrorised streets, lives, and children and wanted to take over Gaia, the place they call refer to as "Our World". His wife and child followed in his path.
"Cid" Shouted Zidane "My boy, my boy" replied Cid, "Everything is in place the final fight will begin tonight" "Good" said Zidane without a single expression on his face "Garnet, you still wish to help, risk your life, and protect the kingdom you still love?" "Yes" she put down her child who ran to her father "So be it then, Topaz?"
The small child who was clinging to her father looked up. "Yes" "Eiko, has promised to look after you while you parents are away" "Ok, will she teach me some more summonings?" "Yes, yes that can be arranged"
Garnet took Topaz away to Eiko, leaving with great sadness because after tonight she may never see her child again. She made her way back to her husband and Cid, when she arrived she saw that they were going over the plans for tonight.
"Garnet, we need you to do summoning, because we have learnt that the Mage's and their leader have obtained very powerful magic, can you do this?" "Yes, I've battled before as long as you are by my side, then I shall be fine"
As the clock struck nine the leaders Zidane, Cid and Garnet led their troops out in to the night, across the plains and sea towards the Iifa Tree, which had been reborn from the ashes. There at 5 in the morning, the fight began. It lasted many hours with each Mage falling one after the other, along with many of the troops that Zidane had brought along with him, finally when the magic had subsided and the Iifa Tree stood brightly Garnet rose from the battle field ready to summon, ready to fight, the leader, her old friend Vivi Orunitia, who had revolted from his small self, many years ago.
"Are you ready?" said a cold voice from the insides of the Iifa tree. "Yes" was her simple reply. "Good"
Suddenly a great light shone from the centre of the Iifa Tree rising many miles into the sky, lighting up the stars, land and faces of terrified people, Garnet stood there keeping her thoughts clear on what she had to do, and from her thoughts emerged Bahamut, he rose into the sky, flew high above opened his mouth and let shots of destruction from his mouth. It collided with Vivi's powerful dark magic, as the thunderous sounds of the collision between these great magical blast faded away, Garnet's heart and Eidolon were winning forcing back the darkness of Vivi's magic until finally the Iifa Tree was hit, destroying the evil that had possed it along with Vivi himself. Bahamut vanished along with evil and the threat had gone leaving enough time for the sun to rise above the destruction, to brighten the way for people again.
One final shot of light emerged form the Iifa Tree, hitting Garnet with full force. She collapsed to the ground not moving not breathing. Zidane ran forwards shouting disbelief as he ran, now he cried, cried for his wife that he had lost. He reached her, bent down and looked and her face, still a face full of love and peace. The person that had saved everything, everyone now laid peacefully in her husband's arms. Zidane looked up and saw a bird, flying high, away from everything, humming a tune he had heard many times, and he knew this was her time, this was the way it needed to end.
He slowly picked up her limp body and carried it through the field where the battle had commenced. Without looking back to the nemesis that Garnet had destroyed, he was unable to see the flicker of a green light, and a menacing voice utter the words "It's not over yet, Zidane."
