Final Fantasy II: Twilight Reign

Chapter 2: The holy demon

As Uro and Seto walk towards the town of Rone, they can't help but notice an abnormal amount of positive energy flowing from the town. "This is… Strange isn't it…?" Uro asks as he sees many white mages dancing around a fire. "What the… White mages? Is this, like, some kind of reservation?" Everyone dances as a large man dressed in all white but with a head dress walks towards the two visitors.

"Hello young men! I am Trop; leader of the white mage camp of Rone!" Seto and Uro's eyes connect but only for a millisecond. They both look at the man, who is obviously not a white mage by the look of it. "We are looking for a white mage to aid us on our quest, do you know of any great white mages?" Uro asks the large man courageously, without any fear.

"Well, I'm sure someone would go with you but you should stay a while! You both look fatigued and starving! Come and feast with us!" Seto starts to shake his head. "I'm sorry but we can't stay long, if you could just find us a white mage…" The man stares at Seto for an unbearable amount of time. "What?" Seto asks the man who is staring.

"You're a black mage aren't you…" Everyone in the camp stops and stares at the black mage who has just been found out. "Yeah, why?" Ten white mages run to the group. "You're the problem! You're scourge! You should die!" The group of white mages begin yelling these things as Seto and Uro step back twice. "What is your issue!" Seto yells as they swing wildly. "You caused the drought didn't you! You cast a spell to kill us!" The leader begins yelling, his voice loud and obnoxious.

Uro and Seto run out of the village and get to the tent they made before, only a mile out of the camp. "Jesus… They think I caused there drought… I bet it was that leader, you saw him right?" Uro sets his stuff down as he grabs the fire wood and Seto casts fire on it. "We will wait until the morning… Besides, that man is a demon… Not a white mage at all, he called you out to lead the hunt away from him…" Seto sighs a little. "Then let's rest."

The next morning comes and they walk into town again, this time, the white mages are ready for the two travelers. "You must leave our town!" Seto smiles. "We are here to speak with Trop." Seto says calmly as they make a path to walk. Seto and Uro both go into the room as the door locks behind them. "You shouldn't have came back… I know that you have found out what I am…" Without hesitation, Uro adds, "A demon…"

The man can't help but smirk as Uro says the words. "I tried to lure the trail away from me, I caused the drought, and I'm glad I did it…" A young man is standing in the corner, he wasn't supposed to be in there but he was. Seto sees the young man is in white mage apparel and scared. "Go…" Uro rushes towards the demon furiously, his sword drawn.

Seto runs to the young white mage. "Listen to me, you have to leave now!" Uro slices angrily, going into a berserker state where he can't think or hear. He swings wildly, slicing his legs and arms off but they keep growing back. "WHY DON'T YOU DIE!" Seto observes the battle and yells, "Slice the head!" Uro's eyes widen as he is grabbed and thrown into the wall, causing a crater to form.

"Foolish warrior! You can't kill me! I AM INVINCIBLE!" Seto runs to Uro. "Christ… I guess it's my turn…" Seto sees the white mage has been taken in the demon's hand, so Seto grabs Uro's blade and throws it, the hand slicing off. "White mage! You need to heal my friend!" Seto uses fire to distract him. As the white mage is curing Uro, Seto is thrown into the wall. Seto stands up slowly, his pulse rising and heart beat gaining speed.

"Seto… Come on Seto…" Seto's eyes open and he hears the black wizard talking to him. "Dodge…" Seto dodges the large hand that came down, almost hitting his head. "Now you have to trust me okay? Say these words now…" Seto listens and claps, pushing his open hands down onto the ground. "I SUMMON YOU! KING OF THE DRAGONS! BAHAMUT!" As he yells the words the black wizard uttered, he feels a presence within him.

Suddenly they are in the sky on a platform, just the demon and Seto. Suddenly a large dragon flies up behind Seto. "This isn't happening! You can't summon Bahamut!" A sword shaped like a talon appears in Seto's hand. Seto begins walking slowly to the demon. "You are done… You will leave this man's body…" Seto slashes but he feels nothing. Seto drops the blade, as it hit's the ground it disappears. Seto walks away slowly until he's at the edge and then he jumps. After Seto is gone, the man's body is cut in two and then burnt.

Seto's eyes open and he sees the man's body on the floor, near Uro and the white mage. "U…Uro…" Seto crawls to Uro, unable to walk because of the amount of mp used. "Is he going to be okay…?" Seto asks the white mage as he falls next to Uro. "Yes, only minor injuries. You both need to be healed…"

Seto blacks out, unable to stay awake. He sees the black wizard in front of him. "You! You helped me didn't you?" Seto runs to him but he says nothing. "I couldn't have summoned Bahamut…" The wizard smiles. "You summoned him Seto, you are on your way to becoming a wizard like I…"

Seto's eyes open and he sees he's in a hospital with Uro and the white mage. "Uro…" He smiles at Seto. "What happened Seto?" Seto smiled a little. "I… I summoned Bahamut… I don't know how but I did it and I killed the demon…" Uro's eyes widen. "You… You summoned him… There's no way…" Seto smiled a little. "I did… It was so intense… I wish you could have seen…" The white mage walks to them. "I am sorry you two are injured… I healed all I could… But I hear you were looking for a white mage… I want to join you!" Seto looks at Uro. "I have no problem with it… Uro?" Uro sighs a little. "Yeah I guess… What's your name anyway?" The white mage smiles happily and says, "I'm Sado, a white mage with extreme power!" A white mage in the corner laughs. "Don't let him fool you, he's the coward of the town…" Sado's head bows. "It's true… I am weak…But I can get stronger if I go with you two!" Seto sighs a little. "Fine… I guess you can travel with us, just don't cry every time we fight okay?"

The white mage laughs a little. Seto and Uro begin walking as Sado follows, they get potions and phoenix downs and then begin walking towards the forest entrance. As they leave, white mages apologize for the mistake they have made. "I guess on to the next town right?" Seto asks Uro and he nods. Every white mage waves and says there goodbyes but Sado doesn't look back.
