Last trial. He has one last element to use.

Chapter Eleven: Trial of the Sun

A day later...

It was a huge blizzard. They'd scaled a giant cliff just to reach this spot.

The four of them stood in front of a cave entrance.

"Behold, the path to Gaea's Cliffs, where Sephiroth waits."

They entered the cave. It was dark, damp from the snow outside, and large.

Rufus lit a lantern.

They walked forward until they reached a large round room, open to the sky.

Link knew what was coming.

"Stand back you three. This is something only I can handle."

Zelda, Zherin and Shinra backed up. Link walked to the middle room. Finally, a loud booming voice rang out.

"Finally it is my turn to test the Hero!! I am Ifrit!! You have done well to get this far. I shall test you to seem you worthy of facing our chosen one. For he has already summoned our power. Therefore, face Ra, Dragon of the Sun!!!"

A giant, more familiar dragon flew in. It was pure gold, and bore resemblence to Slifer in it's facial features, but it wasn't a snake-like dragon.

"Huh. Not as intimidating as the Tormentor."

"We shall see just how intimidating it is after it attacks with it's Light of One Thousand Evils!!!!"

A yellow orb of energy appeared in its mouth. Then it shot out at a high speed.

Link jumped to the side, dodging. The blast of energy threw him against the wall, face first.

"Link!!" Zelda shouted.

Link got to his feet.

"No! Stay! This is my battle."

"Hah!! You cannot hope to defeat me!! Face it!!" came Ifrit's voice.

Link noticed that the sun was coming out and that he hadn't used one element yet.

Without thinking, he willed the air and heat around Ra to become fire. Instantly, the dragon was set aflame and it roared in agony.

Ifrit growled.

"Very well. You have bested we three Dark Gods, but mark my words, Hero. Our Chosen One lies ahead. He has already activated Black Trinity. In time, he will call upon our power to destroy the world. Beware!"

He called the other three and they went on through the caves.

Then they reached an exit. It revealed a wreckage. Green energy flew all over the place, attempting to converge on one spot. Wind howled, causing a fierce blizzard.

"This is where Jenova's meteor fell millenia ago!! Sephiroth must be using this place to call upon the Three Dark Gods' power!!" Shinra said.

"Then let's go! We have an apocalypse to stop!!"

They ran down the side of the large crater toward the energy at the bottom.

Definately stolen from FFVII. Well, it does make a good place for a final battle. Judgement Day is next. R&R
