Final Fantasy II : The Twilight ReignChapter 7 : Did you think it would be that easy?
"So you are the feared dragon Bahamut huh? I thought you'd be a bit scarier" Seto smirks as Naturai's words vibrate through the town on every television, the fight being broadcasted. "You record all of your defeats?" The voice wasn't the dragons, but Seto's. "You think this will help you? You think because they see me I care? You think I care about the people who hate me, who will want to kick me out of this village after I cut your head off?" Seto smirks, his voice returning to the dragon's.
"This rage that Seto has was fueled by what you did those years ago… You think he has forgotten the way you cheat? I'm sure you're going to cheat now but I won't let you foolish human!" The instant Naturai takes a punch at him, he is so fast it's like he teleported behind him. "That's the problem with humans… They are too slow…" He slices Naturai's left arm off with the greatest of ease. "Weak too… It's insanity…" His legs, both clean off in an instant. Naturai, now on the ground, begins writhing in pain, unable to bear the immense physical strain to breath.
"Did… Did you think it would be that easy? To kill me!" Suddenly his arm and legs grow back. Seto backs away slightly but stands ground. "You think I'm a human? You think I don't have what you have!" Suddenly, the voice of Chaos is inside of him. "I knew you would all come for me again but this is too soon. Oh! I get it, you're not the 4..." He smirks and walks to Seto. "You… You are the mage! But you are not yet a wizard, and you think you alone can take me on! HAHA! YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN!"
Seto is thrown through the window, the power of Bahamut disappears for a moment until he hears the black wizard. "You have to continue this fight Seto… That isn't Naturai, it's Chaos… My group killed him all of those years ago! Now go! You must fight him!" Seto looks down at the ground he is plunging towards. Dast and Uro look up. "Seto… SETO!" He hears Dast's voice and suddenly the wings of Bahamut are on him once more.
He flies back up to Chaos and smirks a little. "You think you can defeat me boy? Don't be ridiculous, you're just one light warrior going up against me, PURE CHAOS!" Gravity get's raised and Seto is nearly on the ground. "Aw, not even up to full potential… And you're rusty Bahamut!" He smirks and kicks Seto again out of the window. He flies back up and cuts chaos' arm but it regenerates. "Like you could touch me!" He punches him down onto the floor, the gravity pushing him through three flights.
"Seto, it's time for a fight… You need to do exactly what I say…" Seto listens to the black wizard and then nods. He flies up to Chaos. "Fine Chaos, how about a game…" Chaos laughs. "What kind of "Game" is this?" He smirks slightly. "A race, into the desert…" Chaos laughs. "Fine! GO!" They jet off into the desert, getting away from everyone. As they get further in, Bahamut finally takes full form. "This is only fair Chaos!" Chaos grabs the tail, pushing Bahamut to the ground and casting gravity. Bahamut disappears and human Seto, without anything is back. "You're summon was foolish boy! Now die!" He pushes his foot onto Seto's chest, making it harder to breath.
"You call yourself a black mage…" The black wizards words are echoing in his head. "He's gotten weak Seto, back when I fought him he was resistant to all magic but now, he has a weakness!" Seto's eyes widen from pain and an idea. "Just cast Zap…" Seto's eye twitches a few times. "ZAP! DID YOU SAY ZAP!" The black wizard laughs a little. "You can do this Seto, this isn't practice now GO!" Seto concentrates all of his MP into one final phrase. "What is this you're doi-" He is interrupted by the loud word. "ZAP!" Suddenly a portal to the fourth dimension opens, pulling chaos in with him. Naturai's body is next to Seto's, both of them exhausted from the pressure of Chaos and Bahamut.
When Seto wakes up, his eyes had to adjust to the darkness of the cave. "Goddamn Seto, you aren't too strong yet… And I thought because you got Ifrit and the others…" Seto sit's up and sees a man in blue robes and a brown hat, his face is black and his eyes are yellow. "You're…" He nods solemnly. "You're a legend…" He laughs a little and sighs. "And I'm the only one of the light warriors still alive…" Seto's eyes widen. "And you still need training kid, I'm impressed you could use Zap but he'll be back, he always comes back…"
Seto stands up but is unable to walk. "What the hell…" The black wizard laughs loudly. "You're body won't be able to move for a while, you had all of the pressure of Bahamut upon you, not many would be able to stand even…" Seto looks down and then hears the voice of Dast. "SETO! PLEASE BE OKAY!" Seto's eyes widen and he starts running. "SETO! STOP IT!" He uses stop and he can't move. "You're an idiot you know…" Seto fights through the magic. "My friends… NEED ME!" He pushes through the wizards spell and jumps onto his Chocobo, riding through the desert north to the spire.
"God he's an idiot but he's determined…" Seto rides through quickly, his body still barley recovered but pushing. He finally makes it to the battle. Kira is basically at full health while everyone is injured and Sado is on the ground, his chest with a knife in it. "SADO!" He rushes to him, putting the phoenix down to his lips but he isn't drinking. "FUCK! YOU CAN'T DIE!" With the sudden rage, he has an MP burst and Ifrit is a part of him once more. "HEY YOU! YOU DID THIS TO HIM!" He points to Kira and she just smirks devilishly. "You think you can just kill people with no repercussion? Well you're wrong!" He rushes towards Kira and she goes to block but he's behind her. "TOO SLOW!"
A large kick to the back, nearly breaking her spine but she stands once more. "Huh, a real glutton for punishment!" He yells as he rushes to her, punching her in the jaw, making her fly back into the building. "You can't just hurt my friends and think you get off without punishment do you? I already killed Naturai!" Her eyes widen and she runs away. "HEY I WASN'T DONE KILLING YOU!" Seto sighs and turns back to normal shaking his head. Everyone is staring at him, confused about his new powers. He runs to Sado, Seto's eyes tearing up. "Sado…" Dast runs to him, touching his shoulder.
"Seto, we have to leave…" Uro looks around at the people, vicious about the destruction of the city. "We can't leave him here… He was our friend…" Dast pulls Seto back and pushes him on his Chocobo, them riding into the desert, trying to get to the old camp they set up. The whole ride Seto looks down, his mind never leaving the side of Sado.
They find the grassy area right in front of the desert where their camp was set. They all jump off of the Chocobo and sit near the fire, night already upon them. "This was my fault… If I didn't run… Sado…" Seto looks down his mind unable to slow down. "I'm going to take a walk…" Seto runs so fast that there is a small burst of wind behind him at the camp. He rushes to the forest where the silence is echoed. "I could have saved him…" He looks at a tree and then at his sword, his eyes turning red.
"It was your fault Seto… Everything that has happened is…" A voice from inside of his head, it wasn't the wizard or Chaos. "You need to let that anger out Seto… First with this tree…" Seto's eyes are completely red and there is a flash. He is still in the same place, same position but the tree is sliced into millions of pieces. "Very good young one, now… Sado, he shouldn't have died… But you didn't kill him Seto." His eyes widen. "I DIDN'T!" He has a large smile until, "Your friends did…" His eyes go to a glare and he holds the sword close. "I'll… I'll kill them…"
"Good Seto… You have to let the anger out…" He begins walking back slowly and then Dast sees him, waking Uro up. "There's something different about him… Come on Uro…!" She drags him out and his eyes widen. He rushes back into the tent, grabbing his sword. "Why are you in him!" The demon laughs, his voice now in Seto's. "His heart is full of hatred… Which would make sense because you killed Sado!" Their eyes widen and Uro glares at him. "Dast… Take Torrin to Florene and I'll meet you at the Inn…" She stares at Uro for a moment and then walks to his side. "I can't let you take all of the fun… Besides, you'll go berserk or something and kill him!"
"Very well, if this is how you want it…" Seto rushes towards them, slicing furiously. Uro taking most of the damage but Torrin getting hit in the arm. Uro tries to block everything but can't go as fast as Seto. He kicks Torrin in the head, making him pass out. Uro finally hits his arm but black blood shoots out and it instantly heals. "He has the power of a demon! We need Sado!" Dast picks Torrin up and brings him to Florene. "You're alone warrior!" He thrusts his blade, about to penetrate Uro's armor but there is a flash and Uro is gone, Seto is on the floor and the blade is out of his hands, his eyes back to normal but he is passed out.
Uro wakes up at the inn and walks downstairs to see Dast and Torrin. "You're okay!" She hugs Uro and he shakes his head a little. "What happened?" Uro looks away for a moment. "He was possessed so we need a white mage… Let's head back to Rone…" Uro begins walking out, Dast and Torrin running to follow him.
"You're an idiot Seto… I had so much confidence in you!" Seto sees the black wizard and sighs a little. "I… Sado…" He punches Seto in the stomach. "Shut up! You need to get your strength back up… Try to use Ifrit." Seto thinks of the large beast but nothing happens. "How about Shiva or Odin?" He continues trying but nothing happens. A large beast appears in front of Seto. "What the hell is this!" The wizard smirks. "It's the Kraken!" Seto's eyes widen as It shoots a tentacle at him full speed, dodging quickly.
"My friends and I have killed this and three others on our way to Chaos, you have to get prepared for your next battle…" He dodges a few more but is hit in the head, his heart racing. "SHIVA!" Suddenly a shield is on his left hand and his left eye's are blue with black hair, a blue tint in it.
He blocks the kraken's attacks, until the shield is almost broken. He stops where he is and looks at the beast. "ODIN!" His hair is now white, his eyes green and a large lance appearing in his right hand, the shield disappearing. "It's my turn…" His voice is deeper, his strength increased tenfold. The Kraken's tentacle is thrust down but he moves a little bit to the right, dodging easily. He sticks his lance into the creature, stabbing into the ground and keeping him there.
He walks to the Kraken's body, up the tentacle. The lance appears in his hand once more, this time stabbing through the left eye of the beast, making it furious. He is thrown in the air, at least 400 feet up. "IFRIT!" His hair is now bright crimson, his eyes turning into what looks like fire. Wings appear on his back and he stops in the air, looking down at the beast. "FIRE!" His voice is a lot younger than Odin's. A large bolt of fire is thrown into the empty eye socket, the beast flailing around. Seto lands and suddenly the three versions of him meet on the ground.
One with green eyes and white hair, the other with blue eyes and black hair. "Are you all ready?" Ifrit smirks and they all put their hands in the center. Suddenly, they are one. Someone with black hair, a red tint this time, a green right eye and a blue left. A shield in his left hand, a lance in his right and wings of fire. "I am Shifin!" The black wizard is watching in amazement at the new summon. "YOU WILL DIE!" He is in the air, rushing towards the Kraken. It flails around, trying to hit him but he dodges everything. He blocks the blast of ice with the shield and then thrusts the large lance into it's head, destroying it instantly.
He lands on the ground, turning back to normal and losing all of the abilities. "That was amazing! Brilliant attacks and well thought out!" Seto is breathing heavily, trying to regain strength from the summons. "That was… Intense…" The wizard laughs a bit. "Oh, and that may have felt like 40 minutes, but in the real world that lasted about 10 minutes, you should head back now though…" He sighs a little, thinking about what happened. "Did… Did I fight Uro?" The wizard nods sadly. "I'm going to head back… Thank you for the training…" Seto uses the phoenix down, waking up next to his sword.
He thinks for a minute and then runs to his Chocobo, rushing to the Inn at Florene, just catching Uro, Dast and Torrin. "Guys!" Seto jumps off and rushes to them. "Stay back Dast…" As he stops in front of them, Uro's blade is pointed at his chest. "Don't move Demon…" Seto's eyes widen and he steps back. "It's me guys, It's not-" He slices at Seto and a shield is on his arm instantly, blocking the attack. "Guys, the Demon was in that sword, it's gone now!" Dast walks up to Seto, Uro keeping his eye on him. "Seto… What happened to Sado wasn't-" Seto interrupts her quickly. "I know, and now we have a much bigger problem…"
"You're telling me that Naturai has Chaos' spirit in him?" He nods and begins grabbing food and phoenix downs and then a new staff for himself. "Before we fight Chaos… There are four beasts we need to kill… Lich, Kary, Kraken, and Tiamat… They are the four guardians of Chaos. We need to head to Bahamut's lair…" They all get on their Chocobo as they ride of to the large mountain formation to the north.
