Chapter One: Ending - Beginning, Beginning - Ending
I was in pain, borderline agony after I crashed down the lifa tree and landed on a branch, it was thin or at least appeared to be and surprisingly soft, I was shocked at how soft this parasite of a trees branch actually was...
My thoughts began to wonder and I started to think of how I ended up here, how I was beaten and how in the end Garland...that mad man that created me...yes he was mad...mad like no other I had met, yet surprisingly calm at times...ah yes, or was it all for show?
Hmmmm, so Garland had won in the end...was it his victory? Or my failure? Had I unknowingly inherited his insanity? NO, I refuse to believe I was insane like that old fool.
The thoughts of my pain came back, I was surprised "OW, GAH" I screamed, I had never felt such pain but it brought me out of my wondering into the past which I knew was futile anyway...ah yes, the...lifa tree...soft yet hard at the same time, had it not been so surprisingly soft I most certainly would of perished by the fall.
"he--h heh heh heh, Ahhh-hahahahaha" I chuckled to myself, so im...alive? really? truly? Alive! I gazed up seeing through the multidimensional rift I had created...seeing..."Zidane?" ..."NO, How? Why?" ...how dose he still fight? Everything I put him though from my armada of loyal silver dragons, to my re-incarnated guardians of terra... "Maliris" the guardian of the fire shrine and...Deathguise.
"UGGAAAH" my arms, my legs, my beautiful torso...what's this? "Tears?" I just couldn't hold them back anymore, I tried but the pain was intense, though it only lasted a few short moments at that intensity I couldn't stop the few tears that had escaped my control.
A few moments passed then I heard him..."Eat this Necron, GrandLeathal!", a bright..light..it was spectacular unlike that light...that painful light I had always seen on terra, it was like fireworks at least from my position. "He...he did it? He beat Necron?" before I could even think of expressing my relief I noticed it, "The rift...collapsing" I just couldn't muster the strength to even finish that sentence as I felt my heart slowly grow heavy.
I watched the rift close slowly but inevitably, I knew in my condition using magic would only make my wounds hurt more and I could already feel my body go cold and slightly numb, but thinking how wrong I actually was...lost in my insanity which ironically Garland had caused even after his death, "Dammn You Garland!" I yelled at the top of my lungs ignoring the pain I felt.
It then dawned upon me, Garland my clearly unworthy adversary had planned it all along, the rivalry, the hate, the...f-f-f-ear I had felt against Zidane even when he emerged from his pod, I could sense something... different about him.
"Heh Heh" I chuckled, remembering of what I had said to Garland on that fateful day when he said... "Kekekekeke, yes, finally perfection...Do you want to know why he's perfect Kuja?".
"Hehe-hahahahaha" I laughed again, how I was amused when I gave him my answer back then..."Well, Master Garland, I noticed you gave him a longer tail then the others." I said it so sarcastically with a wide grin appearing on my face, I also noticed my tail would still be longer.
At the time I thought it was so funny, maybe I still do even a little now but that was when it all started, when Garland finally divulged his plan to make IT and not me his angel of death.
Snapping back to the present "No" I said loudly, I wont let it end the same way it began even if it costs me my life, "Yes, Garland you heard me you old fool, I and not you will decide how I live and I choose to...die" I said it calmly even though the pain started to come back.
Looking up at the battle worn party of would be heroes, I moved my hand up slowly (trying to minimise the pain) so it was pointing at them and with a final sigh, with my eye's closed I said "Farewell, Zidane my... brother", another tear fell from my right eye as I casted what I thought would be the final spell of my life "Teleport", which I aimed at all of them and in one final show of light they all teleported simultaneously back to the entrance of that god forsaken lifa tree.
I suddenly felt faint, the last of my energy drained as my hand fell softly back to my side, yes I could tell that my time was finally...finally up, but I had come to terms with the fact that I no longer deserved to live...death, the thing I had come to fear most would be my...final atonement.
I feel like I'm in a dream on clouds, no, flying on my silver dragon one last time. Though my body still ached all over there was hardly any pain, I wondered in the back of my mind what death...really dying would be like, unlike the fantasy death Garland had described to me years before in an attempt to manipulate me, "when genomes die there soul will disappear forever, now you be a god boy Kuja and that wont happen to you, but if you should displease me---Muwhahaha, take a guess".
I shuddered at the memory, even knowing how Garland was a manipulative bastard in life I couldn't help but feel as if Garland was actually telling me the truth, however that thought was interrupted by tremors he could feel while lying on the branch and the rumbles from above, "Times up...is it not? The tragic final scene to the act of my life" I muttered to myself seeing all the vicious branches slithering towards me, coming to claim my life, my... soul?
Suddenly, out of the depths of darkness that these branches were crawling a familiar figure appeared. I wondered why he came back, was it to finish me of or out of pity, I pondered for a short while before Zidane actually landed next to me, but before he did I decided that I didn't care.
I Kuja, who single-handedly brought death and destruction to Gaia, manipulated countless people into doing my bidding and also brought more death, more destruction on a global scale to Terra will not accept help from anyone especially my dear sweet loveable brother! Although, I have forgiven you...I thought to myself.
A loud thud sounded right next to me, even without opening my eyes I knew it was Zidane.
He called my name, but I didn't want to chat as my body had grown more cold and I could barely feel my legs or hands. He called again, though it hurt to talk I smirked at him and said "You and your friends were able to escape I see", I could tell from his expression he knew I was behind it since he gave me a smile, a warm smile which I had never received before.
All of a sudden I went totally cold, the shiver I felt went through out my body, a few moments of silence passed, it was at this point I noticed out of the corner of my half opened eye the the rest of the lifa tree's branches were making a bee-line straight for us, it seemed that Zidane noticed soon after I did though remained silent. Was it for my sake, I wondered?
Zidane looked at me, though I didn't have the strength to move or even speak, but I wanted to. I wanted to say so much yet I couldn't, I must of looked dead as he cried out my name with tears in his eyes. Just as I saw the tree about to make its final and fatal attack my eyes went blurred, but I could feel one last tear seep out my eye.
It was like a jolt into a tempery trance that just gave me enough strength to say "This is my final farewell, be good brother", though I didn't have a clue why I said it, but then my hand glowed as I teleported Zidane one last time to safety, though there was an echo of a second spell being cast that ringed in my mind... which spell was it?
After Zidane teleported away I felt completely numb and couldn't even move my eye lids, how ever I knew that the rages of the trees branched was meters away and that's when it happerened. I don't exactly know what happerened after that but I turned ghostly, transparent...floating away into a bright light, so bright that my eyes could not penetrate and see beyond it until I reached a sign saying "Welcome to heaven", I was gob-smacked, surprised and curious all at the sae time. Naturally I started grinning like a Cheshire cat.
But then...
