Me: Geez, at this rate, every other chapter is going to be long….OH well! Please enjoy the story!

Tiamatt backwinged and landed at the ruined city's entrance, looking at the collapsed buildings before folding her wings along her back. Walking under on of the ancient gates to the slums, she peered upwards, catching a glimpse of the upper plate. Tiamatt once again spread her wings and flew through the gap to the upper part of the city. Debris was scattered everywhere in the ancient streets as she made her way towards the center of Midgar. A large building sat in the city's center, once the tallest building but now reduced to rubble. Tiamatt couldn't help but growl at the building as anger and hate for the ruined structure bubbled into her mind.

"I knew you would come here." A voice laughed. Tiamatt spun around to face Dsanios, twin blades drawn and ready. "It was as my master said would be."

"Dsanios!" Tiamatt growled, icy glare directed at the grinning man. Dsanios seemed to mock her with his grin, his sword hanging loosely at his side as he took a step towards her. "Why are you here? Why are you following me?"

"Now now Sister. Everything will be explained in due time. I was merely sent to retrieve you." Dsanios said with a smirk. "It is all to ensure Apocalypse's success."

"Success in what? Why won't you leave me alone?" Tiamatt shouted in frustration, taking a step back as Dsanios continued to walk towards her.

"Have you not figured it out?" He laughed. "Foolish Tiamatt, has your dear friend Oblivion not told you of your prophecy?"

"I'm the one asking the questions!" Tiamatt snapped. "What is this prophecy?"

"No! Tiamatt don't listen! This man is trying to trick you!" Shouted Oblivion, having finally caught up with her, Sivu and Kai at his side.

"Don't listen to him!" Dsanios mocked. "If there is someone you shouldn't listen to, then it him, your best friend Oblivion. He's been keeping secrets from you since the very beginning!"

"What?!" Tiamatt turned to Oblivion, face filled with shock. "Oblivion is this true?"

Oblivion avoided her gaze, looking down at the ground instead. "I'm sorry…" He muttered softly. He could hear her footsteps getting closer and felt a sharp pain on the side of his face as Tiamatt slapped him.

" I trusted you!" she yelled, Oblivion still not looking at her. "Now I find you that you've been lying to me the entire time!"

"I haven't lied to you. I just…I haven't told you everything." He said quietly. "I didn't want to hurt you."

"You didn't want to hurt me? If that were true then you would've told me instead of hiding it from me! So tell me, right here in front of everyone, what is it you've been hiding from me?!" Tiamatt yelled, taking a step back as Kai and Sivu gawked at her reaction. "If you don't then I'm sure Dsanios would be happy to inform me!"

"It would be no problem for me to tell you Tiamatt." Dsanios nodded, still grinning. This is going better then expected. Soon my master will control the legendary Tiamatt.

Oblivion glared angrily at Dsanios, growling before glancing at Tiamatt, whose bright blue eyes were still focused into an angry glare. He sighed sadly before he finally looked Tiamatt in the eye. "The royal family of Mars are the sole guardians of a prophecy. This prophecy tells of an ancient warrior, lost in time, returning. But just as the warrior returns, so does an ancient evil, known simply as the Calamity. The prophecy tell us that this evil will gain control of the warrior who will then destroy all life."

"I've heard this prophecy before, back when I was little. But what does this have to do with me?"

"Tiamatt, you ARE the ancient warrior!" sneered Dsanios, watching as Tiamatt's look of confusion turned to fear.

"Yes, many things about you match that of the warrior. Though some of the prophecy is confusing." Oblivion nodded sadly. "That is not the problem though. The problem is that you are to destroy all life. That is why I was sent to kill you."

"What?! No, No! This can't be true! I would never do that! Oblivion please, you know I wouldn't do it! I won't let it happen!" She cried, shaking her head in denial as she pleaded with her friend who now had his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"Oblivion, this is Tia we're talking about! She wouldn't destroy everything!" Kai yelled in Tiamatt's defense as her eyes widened in fear and Oblivion drew his sword.

"I know she wouldn't" Oblivion agreed, again refusing to look at Tiamatt directly. "But I'm afraid that she will be forced to against her will." He paused for a moment, listening to Dsanios laugh, as he looked his sword over. "I'm sorry Tiamatt, but…I must kill you."

"No…" She whispered, taking a step back. Her head started to pound suddenly and she grabbed head, screaming.

"…" Oblivion looked at her once more before rushing forward only to end up being blocked by a spell.

"Don't even think of interfering!" Shouted Dsanios, sword now drawn and at Oblivion's throat. Sivu and Kai tried to attack the dark man but a quick mutter froze them on the spot. Tiamatt let out another scream and stumbled, standing in a hunched position before straightening up.

"Tiamatt!" Oblivion shouted, knocking Dsanios' blade away with his own as he jumped to his feet and rushed to his friend. He grabbed her shoulders, shaking her slightly as he called her name. "Tiamatt! Please answer me!"

Tiamatt laughed and looked up at Oblivion with green silted eyes. Oblivion leapt back in surprise as she continued to laugh and turned away from her friends. "Tiamatt is gone. I'm afraid she is merely a puppet to be used as a weapon by me." Tiamatt sneered, glancing over her shoulder as she reached Dsanios and smiling but for a second, the smile flickered and the pain of the real Tiamatt showed through.

"Tiamatt! No! Please fight it!" cried Oblivion but his cry was ignored and where Dsanios and Tiamatt had stood now remained an empty space.

"She's gone…" Kai mumbled, shocked at the disappearing act.

"Dsanios you bastard! Bring her back!" Oblivion screamed throwing his sword into the air. It spun as it traveled back downwards and landed in the exact spot Tiamatt had stood minutes before.

Sivu stood silently, thinking of what had just occurred. Walking over to the sword and prying it from the ground, he handed the blade back to Oblivion. "We should give chase."

"No. I'll go alone. It's my fault she's gone." Oblivion muttered, looking at the sword in his hands. "She had trusted me and I broke that trust."

"Oblivion, it's not your fault. It's cause of that stupid prophecy! Now if we're going to rescue Tiamatt then we should all go together!" Kai scolded, just as worried about Tiamatt but without the guilt that plagued Oblivion.

"Kai is correct. We need to work together it we want to succeed." Sivu agreed. Oblivion looked up and after seeing determination in his friends' eyes, nodded.

"Thank you." He said quietly, turning back towards the edge of Midgar. "Let's return to the Ragnorok…"

As the three warriors started back towards the ship, Sivu spotted Tiamatt's pack on the ground and picked it up, a notebook falling out. Sivu picked it up, noticing that notes scribbled the entire inside of the book as well as what appeared to be dream records. Closing the notebook, Sivu returned it to the pack and followed Kai and Oblivion back to the Ragnorok.

Once back on the ship, Sivu shared his discovery with the others. The notebook told them of some of Tiamatt's abilities that she had discovered over the years and of strange dreams that Oblivion believed were actually memories. Stopping at the near by metropolis of Edge, they restocked on supplies and began their search.

It seemed like they had searched the entire planet as they chased rumors of Tiamatt and Dsanios causing havoc but almost always came up empty handed. Soon, sighting began to spread outwards throughout the Sol System as major leaders suddenly disappeared or were found murdered in their chambers. However the attacks were so random that there was no way to track the next attack until a rumor began to spread about the planned assassination of Tysil Granis, Saturn's ambassador. Soon, the Ragnorok was orbiting the ringed planet, Oblivion, Kai, and Sivu hoping to end the chase…

I know, short chapter again but oh well. I think this is a good stopping point and sorry if any of it is confusing. Read and review please! Oh and look for Battle Theater coming soon by well….Battle Theater! The first match is Kratos Aurion vs Cloud Strife!
