ROOOOAAARR*

"VANILLE HURRY!" Snow shout to his new crush. "I knew something bad would happen! Why didn't I trust my gut from before! I promise you my gut, that I will trust you in the future, but right now I would like to keep my gut intact!" Sazh said in panic as he start to shoot at the monster that land behind Vanille to give her some time to reach us. "Help me! Help me!" Vanille shout to us. Snow grab Vanille and hug her in a protected way as he look back at the beast with a fierce glare with angry in the deep of his heart.

"I am going to cook me some turkey tonight!" Yang shout excitedly. "That a turkey?" Serah ask Yang confuse right now and forgetting about the danger. "Maybe? It look like a oversize turkey, or something. I think...I stick with the turkey over giant bird monster thing." Yang replied to Serah. "Less talking more fighting!" Weiss shout at Yang over the garuda interceptor's loud roar. "Snow protect Vanille and Hope! Maybe Sazh if he break a hip...Serah go with Snow as a back up for long range in case there are some flying monsters coming at you guys." I said to them while the last part in a whisper tone. "I heard that you brat!" ROWR!* "Uh...Snow, do what he said and protect me!" Sazh pull Vanille and Hope along with down the stairs with Snow and Serah following them while the rest of us fight the giant bird monster.

"So how we going to do this? Because I only got one idea and it include me trying to roast a giant turkey." Yang said to everyone. "Yang! We are not eating that thing!" Weiss shout at Yang for even thinking about eating such a ugly beast. "Or we could tame it as our pet to ride?" Esdese ask everyone as she create several icicles from thin air and fires them at the garuda interceptor in high speed, but the garuda interceptor dodge it by flying it to the left while Claire keep shooting at it with her gunblade in gun mode. Weiss is firing out ice holy arrows at the beast by using her holy and ice gemstones at the same time to create from the tip of her Myrtenaster. Weiss' attacks a success, but didn't kill the garuda interceptor.

"Shouldn't this thing be dead by now from Weiss' attacks?" Claire ask everyone as she turn her gunblade to blade mode as she did a high jump slash to the left wing of the garuda interceptor causing it to roar in rage at the though of a human making a injury to it. As it send out a lightning breath at everyone from the air. I created a mesh-like shield made of the wires from my king's heart to absorb the garuda interceptor's lightning breath.

Yang create multiple fireballs around her, then make all of them merge together as she compress it into a the size of a golf ball as the main core turn bright red while around is dark red with random lightning current going around. "Move away! Burst Bullet!" Yang shout at us as she punch the burst bullet and send it right at the garuda interceptor's right wing. Making the right wing burst to ashes and the bird beast monster was just about to fell down, but burst into lightning as it regrow it right wing, but made of lightning. 'The hell? Was there a skill to regrow it limb by making it out of lightning? Guess you learn new thing everyday.' I thought surprise as I create a throwing spear made out of compress wires, that show everyone a bright green spear in my right hand.

[Reinforcement] 10% right arm 10 second time limit

I use [Reinforcement] to my right arm with enough strength and I throw it at the garuda interceptor, but the bird monster rowr at us and fly backward causing my throwing spear to miss as it crash into one of the broken pillars causing the spear burst into multiple sharp wires slicing everything in a sphere of 5 meters. The garuda interceptor fly from us and crash into the flame ice crystal.

'Still can't believe I miss that!' I thought with a scowl. "It's charging up." Claire said to everyone. "What do you mean by charging Lightning? Well if you're talking about it new wing made of lightning. Well I guess it could count as charging a new kind of attack." I ask Claire as I create another throwing spear made out of compress wires again to be ready to throw at the bird beast monster. "Its last moments." Claire said to me as she rush at the garuda interceptor while shooting a fire round from her gunblade, but there is a barrier around it making the bullets doing no damages at all. So Claire turn her gunblade into blade mode as she did another jump slash at it, but Claire kick it face to dodge the lightning breath aiming at her.

"Seriously Lightning? I expected this from Yang who would charge right in, but you? I guess I have to train you again, for not even planning before attacking that thing." Weiss said to Claire with a scowl as she create a lightning holy shield in front of Claire to absorb another lightning breath fire at Claire. "Sorry...keep forgetting this isn't in the army..." Claire said to Weiss with a nervous tone at the though of facing Weiss' wrath in training. "Lighten up Weiss! Lightning got this-HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU SHOOT THAT! YOU FUCKING TURKEY!" Yang said to Weiss, but had to dodge to her right before a lightning breath from the garuda interceptor almost hitting her hair.

"Well this is just annoying already. We should just kill it before it cause us more problems in the future." Esdese said to us as she pin the garuda interceptor to the ground and freezing the wing made of lightning as the bird beast monster rowr in pain at the sudden coldness invading it inside and outside at the same time. "I got this!" Claire shout at us as she did a high jump and did a quick change gunblade to gun mode to fire to her left for a extra spin speed, then switch back to blade mode. As Claire did a clean cut off the garuda interceptor's head off it body. I use [Madness Alchemist] to change it to charged lightning gemstones. "What? Got to recycle everything instead of just leaving it there, for something to come and do something to it." I said to the girls who notice I keep on changing dead monster body into different elements gemstones for later uses. "Well guess we don't have to worry about having to pay for the electricity bill." Yang said with a smile.

"Yang...we never even pay for the electric in the first place. Heck Ragna here just place magic spell circle around our house as a power source." Weiss said as she rub her forehead, that been getting a little headache from all day long already without her daily sleep. "Oh. Well that good to know. You guys can come up now! The oversize turkey is dead!" Yang said to Weiss, then shout to the stairs where Vanille, Serah, Snow, and Hope are. "Yang! You don't need to shout. We're not that far away from you guys." Serah said to Yang as she walk along with Snow as Vanille just skip in front of us with a big smile on her face like there wasn't a battle just a second ago.

"Check it out! Ahahaha!" Vanille said to us as she point at the airship in front of us. "Ah, her laugh is so wonderful..." Snow thought out loud for us to hear and Serah just smirk at him. "Come on. Hop to it, let's go!" Sazh said to everyone as we walk towards the airship. As we look at the white airship in front of us ready to be taken. "I'm surprise there a airship in this place." Esdese said mostly to herself as she look around just in case this is a trap. "I'm more surprise the turkey didn't destroy this airship before we even got here." Yang said to Esdese. "Hmmm, this will make things easier." Vanille said with a smile as she clap her hands together as she like a pray. Snow just smile at Vanille. "Now we got transportation now." Serah said to everyone while leaving out the facts the house we live in could turn into a airship of any kind, or even a spaceship. The girls who notice how Serah didn't mention about the house/gym/restaurant kept their mouths seal, so no one would know about it. Since the building could act as a backup, for us to use when we are back into a corner in the future.

"Ah ha, yeah, knowing our luck, it's probably missing an engine." Sazh said to Vanille as he cross his arms together and look at the airship to see if it missing anything at all. "You shouldn't be so negative." Vanille said to Sazh for having a negative thought. "And you shouldn't get your hopes up." Sazh replied to Vanille without looking back as he walk to the airship to see what the problem with it. As there is no way our luck would let us have a good working airship out of no where.

"Hey lay off. She just trying to be positive around here." Snow said to Sazh as he follow Vanille. "All I'm saying is, that we shouldn't keep having our hopes up just to be crash later. I'm being a realistic here." Sazh gave his reason to Snow while still not looking back as he check around the airship still with Vanille and Hope following behind him.

"Let just get on the airship. I need my sleep." Weiss said to the rest of us who still haven't move yet. As Weiss follow the others to the airship. "Well we better follow them. We don't want to be left behind." Esdese said to the rest of us as she follow Weiss while yawning a little. "Come on Lightning, we better get on the airship to see if Weiss could make us any food. Kinda hungry right now, since we miss lunch and dinner today already." Serah said to Claire as I watch Serah pull Claire to the airship.

"Come on Ragna!" Yang said to me as she jump on my back, which tell me she want me to carry her to the airship instead of herself walking there. "Sigh* Fine...hold on." I said to Yang as I make Yang adjust to make sure she don't fell down as I walk. "Come on Ragna! Yang! Get on already! We need to leave!" Weiss shout to us. "We're coming!" Yang shout us as I enter the airship.

[Power of The Void Kings] deactivated!

My void gloves broke down into crystal dust as Yang got off my back. Everyone got into their seats as Sazh start up the engine of the airship.

Rumble*

The airship blast off, then some of us are screaming. "Hey Vanille! Snow! Hope! Why are you guys screaming for?" Serah ask them. "Serah if you haven't notice, there are people trying to shoot us down!" Snow shout at Serah while holding onto his seat. "How can she sleep at a time like this?!" Hope shout at everyone while pointing at the sleeping Weiss who happen to sleeping in her seat without a care in the world. "Ah, that just Weiss. Nothing could wake her up unless it something very annoying, or something could surprise her and by annoying I meant something that could threaten our life." Yang explain to everyone who don't know that Weiss have already spend the last 6 years in this would riding airship in mission where there are bomb, laser, monsters, and random boulders heading our way. This could Weiss to be able to sleep through everything easily and only wake up something that she never have heard, or felt before till now, or I would just wake her up by saying her name. Which seem to work every time, since Weiss would never ignore me to wake her up. As Weiss once said that she love that I would wake her up every time.

"How is this not threatening our life?! We could blow up, or even be shoot out of the sky!" Hope shout in rage while holding the side of his head as Sazh sheer the airship around the lasers coming down on us. "Awww, no! And would you guys stop screaming?!" Sazh said to everyone. Claire already got tired of this as she got up from her seat and walk towards Sazh without losing her balance. "Give me that!" Claire shout to Sazh as she grab the sheering wheel. "What?!" Sazh ask Claire like she crazy. Claire made the airship spin around while pulling the trigger for the machine gun of the airship where it hit some of the other different type of airship in front of us. "Did we get them?" Vanille ask excitedly. "We got one of them." Claire answer Vanille's question as she keep on sheering the airship away from the enemies firing at us. As we head to the city while I could still sense them following us with my [Soul Scan] and Great Red's light cubes following us by floating around the airship in invisible mode.

"They're still behind us!" Hope shout to us. "Stop that!" Sazh said to Claire as he try to get back the sheering wheel. "Five more minutes...I will make us...breakfast soon...no...Yang...you can't go before me...it...my...turn..." Weiss said in her sleep. "What she talking about?" Snow ask Yang who happen to have a small blush to show. that she know what Weiss is talking about. "Nothing you need to know about." Yang said with a glare. "Ok! No need to kill me! We can be all friends ok? I already gave up on Serah!" Snow shout to Yang as he rise both hands in surrender when he notice Yang's eyes gone red for a split second.

Claire just groan annoyed at Sazh as she went back to her seat while I just look annoyed as well from hearing Vanille, Hope, and Snow screaming when the airship did a spin in the air and turn to our right to fly around one of the building near us. "Damn women! You trying to kill us or something! Let the one who could drive this thing!" Sazh shout to Claire who just glare at Sazh. As Sazh keep on driving the airship around the bullets fire coming behind while making sure we don't crash into a building at the same time. Then we head between a middle path of a mountain. "How are you gonna lose them?" Hope ask Sazh. "You've got me, kid!" Sazh said to Hope as he drive the airship upward to the split open path. "Esdese! Stop drinking wine and help us!" Serah said to Esdese when she notice Esdese is drinking her wine without even dropping a single drop on the airship.

"There nothing I could do to help Serah. I could always create a giant hail to smash them, but I may end up hitting us instead, because I don't think I could create one small enough, for Sazh here to dodge it and it may be too small to even do any damages to the enemies behind us. Plus I haven't drink any wine today till now." Esdese explain her reason on why she couldn't help right now beside drinking her wine. "Geez Esdese! You need to worry more about our situation right now." Serah pouted at Esdese, since she know Esdese is right.

Then a sudden bright light appear in front us after Sazh fly us out of the middle of the mountain. "Wow!" Vanille said in awe at the countless clouds in front of us, but the sight seeing was cut short by the noise behind us of the enemies still trying to shoot us down. "They're still on us?!" Sazh ask everyone in confuse and fear as he keep on sheering the airship around the sky to dodge the enemies continue to fire at us.

Rumble*

"We're taking hits!" Sazh shout to us as he make the airship dive downward with the enemies on our tail. I see in front of us a canyon as Sazh fly just a few feet off the river while the enemies still haven't given up on us just yet. "Come on, give me a break!" Sazh shout at the enemies, but everyone just sweatdrop at Sazh, because the enemies can't hear him, but he still shout like they could. As the enemies fire just barely scratch our airship surface, but enough to tear part of the airship piece by piece. "Hang on!" Sazh shout at everyone as he keep the airship dodging enemies fire and drive the airship upward straight to the dark clouds in front of us.

20 minutes later*

"For the love of all that's good!" Sazh shout mostly to himself as he smack the side of the sheering wheel. "Well that was fun." Serah said to everyone. "You call that fun?! I almost had a heart attacks many time already from just riding this airship where we keep on trying to get those enemies airships trying to shoot us down." Snow said to Serah as he place his right hand over his heart checking if it still beating. "Aww is little Snow scared of height?" Serah tease Snow in a baby voice. "Serah not funny. We could of end up shot down from the sky...I need...I need to get a drink...hey Esdese-OK! Never mind!" Snow said to Serah with a little scowl, then ask if Esdese could spare some of her wine, but flinch at the glare of Esdese and quickly change his mind.

"Oh Snow, you should remember by now that Esdese doesn't share her wine beside with Ragna, Yang, and Weiss when she cooking us dinner. Esdese would share some with Lightning, but Lightning didn't like the taste." Serah explain why Esdese won't even let Snow have a sip while Claire look like she about to puke from remember how awful the taste of wine is to her. "Oh! I would like to taste some wine. I don't I ever taste some before." Vanille said to everyone. "Vanille, you shouldn't. Some people don't even know how to drink wine. Heck Ragna here would only drink wine when it a special day with us, but after that he rather not, since he more to drinking soda." Yang said to Vanille before she end up wasting Esdese's wine and that was a big bad thing in everyone book.

"Oh...okay." Vanille said to Yang with a smile. "Heh! Ragna, seriously? You don't drink that wine much do you?" Snow ask me with a smirk. "Do I look like I would keep on drinking wine? That my wife Esdese who does it. I would rather drink soda, or just clean water while I train. Esdese just like to drink wine whenever she have time. Like right about now, since most of the time she too busy to drink her wine." I said to Snow while I notice Claire still doesn't look alright from still remembering about her first time drinking wine.

"Next, an update on the status of the Purge. Just moments ago, the Sanctum announced the successful conclusion of the Purge along with the safe arrival of the Cocoon migrants to their new homes on Pulse." said the female reporter. I notice everyone didn't like what the reporter said. Sazh then change the channel as he can't listen anymore. "Yes, that is correct. There's no denying the enormity of the strain the Purge placed on us all. But, given the tens of millions of lives at stake, there truly was no alternative." said the Primarch. As the screen shrink down as a new reporter show up. "Primarch Dysley stood by the move, stressing the necessity of the relocation. When asked about the possibility of future Purges, the Primarch remained noncommittal stating only that he'd seek counsel with the fal'Cie Eden and weigh all options before making a decision." said the male reporter. I could hear Hope growling at what the male reporter saying.

"Yeah, that's right. If it makes the Sanctum look bad, it never even happened." Sazh said sarcastically to everyone. "In all the centuries since the War of Transgression Cocoon has been spared Pulse aggression, and prospered for it. It is essential that we maintain this peace. That is the Sanctum's focus. We will continue employing every resource available to combat these threats to the harmony of our society." said the Primarch.

"Meaining, we'll be running for the rest of our lives." Sazh said to everyone with a little frown on his face. "Hey." Vanille try to get Sazh attention. "Uh hm?" Sazh letting Vanille she got his attention. "Umm, who is this guy?" Vanille ask Sazh as she still not all to update since she been release from her crystallize stage. "Sigh* I mean, what do they teach kids these days? He's Galenth Dysley. The Sanctum Primarch. Murder-in-chief." Sazh said with a little depression, but answer Vanille's question anyway. "We could always get Ragna here to assassinate the Primarch." Yang whisper to Esdese. "Right now, Ragna is on a airship with us, so he really can't go assassinate the Primarch unless he exit the airship right now and even if Ragna did. How could he locate the Primarch in the middle of no where?" Esdese ask Yang who just scratch the back of her head showing that she don't have the answer causing Esdese just roll her eyes and continue to drink her wine while Snow look at Esdese and Yang in deadpan at how calm they are talking about assassinate someone. Snow even sweatdrop when he notice Serah and Claire look like they already used to how Esdese and Yang talking to each other like this without a care.

I notice Hope look paler than usually when he was listening on Esdese and Yang conversation. "According to our insta-poll..." said the female reporter, but I couldn't hear the female reporter when I heard Claire speaking. "Just another tool of the fal'Cie." Claire said mostly to herself with a blank expression, but I could see in her eyes she would destroy those fal'Cie. "Come on Lightning. If we need to. We could get Ragna here to go face the fal'Cie next time." Serah try to reason with Claire with a smile. Claire who heard what her little sister Serah just said have a small smile from remembering how strong I am. "Seventy percent of respondents said they would also support additional Purges were the need to arise." the female reporter finish speaking.

"Let's Purge everybody. That's fix it!" Sazh said sarcastically, then there was a red beeping noise showing there a problem with the airship. "What going on?" Weiss just woke up instantly when the red beeping warning noise starts as Weiss already looking around and planning, for anything that could happen any second now.

Rumble*

"Points for perseverance!" Sazh said to everyone as he sheer the airship straight a head where the sunlight appear making Sazh move his left hand to block the sunlight. "Uh Weiss? How many plan you made already and that would have high success on making all of us live?" Yang ask Weiss who still closing her eyes and thinking. "About 3 plans that would work with a 80% of us surviving and 81% on 1 plan while the other 10 plans have 30% chance of us living and the rest I came up with are 1% only." Weiss answer Yang with her eyes still close.

Then as Sazh sheer a little away from the sunlight, then we see a new building of some king in front of us. "Wow!" Vanille said in awe at the sight as she cover her mouth with her hands. "Now that is a nice view." Snow said to everyone. "Really hate this place..." I heard Hope whisper to himself. "Got to say this is one nice looking view." Serah said mostly to herself. "A Sanctum fal'Cie up close and personal. Coccon's own light in the sky." Sazh said with a smile.

Rumble*

Sazh lost his smile as the airship felt like it been crash into something. Which happen to be bullets fire by the enemies who keep on following us. "Great! They still following us!" Yang shout in rage. "Here we go again." Sazh said to himself. "Fly in! We'll lose them in there." Claire said to Sazh. As Sazh follow Claire advise as he fly us into the fal'Cie inner light as we go between a few lightning chain. As the enemies keep on following us and one crash into one of the machine part charge with high volts as they blow up. "I like this fal'Cie!" Sazh said excitedly. "There's more of them!" Vanille warn Sazh, but was too late as our airship's backside got hit by one of the random lightning current from the fal'Cie. As we start to fell down from the sky now. "I can't believe this is happening!" Snow shout in fear as he keep his seat even tighter.

Rumble and Crashes*

"Ragna!" Weiss shout, but didn't get the chance to continue as the left side of the airship tore off. "Room! Takt!" I create a mass spherical space just enough to reach the ground, which take about 10% of my MP total to power my ope ope fruit. As I make it just in time before we crashlanding, I levitate the airship with everyone inside just barely above the ground, then carefully stop the airship, but sadly I forgot, that I only was controlling the airship. This cause everyone beside Yang, Esdese, Weiss, Claire, and Serah to fly out of the airship and crash into ground unconscious.

"Oops..." I said to mostly myself. "Ragna! That was mean of you! We all know you could of stop everyone from crashing into the ground." Serah said to me while looking at me disapproval. "Hey, I forgot okay? You think I do this everyday? Beside, their fine. All of them are L'Cie. If they weren't L'Cie when this happen, then we should worry." I said without a care of the world while Serah just give me a cute glare. "Eh, Serah, remember one of the lesson we learn. We should never keep on rely on Ragna to been there for us. I'm kinda sad Snow didn't die yet so far." Claire said to Serah while walking towards the others to see if their fine or not.

"Lightning! That mean! Even if Snow kinda deserve this kind of punishment...crap...I don't have any other thing, that make it sound nice..." Serah try give a good reason to her sister, Claire, that Snow shouldn't be treated this way, but Serah couldn't come up with anything. "Let just look around to see if there any enemies. I think we're in The Vile Peaks: Dismal Dunescape. Maybe?" Weiss said to everyone as she check on the others while Esdese just create a dozen of ice cubes above Snow, then turn those ice cubes into liquid form as water, which fell on top of Snow face.

"Great...he won't wake up even from this? I guess I could just drop a ice block on his face to see if he wake up." Esdese said mostly herself, then we heard some growl and 4 pantherons appear before us. "I got this." Claire said to us as she pull out her gunblade in blade mode as she charge at one fo the pantherons. I notice Vanille just woke up and just see Claire charging at one of the pantherons. "Hey! Wake!" Vanille said to everyone as she shake Sazh first, then move towards Hope to wake him up next, "You've got to wake up!" Then quickly I see Vanille run towards to Snow to wake him up.

Esdese just roll her eyes at Vanille, for even being scared at facing just 4 weak pantherons. Then Esdese walk next to Yang and Weiss who are watching Claire already kill two pantherons with a roundhouse kick to one and did a did spin slash to the second pantheron's neck causing it head to fell off it body. Serah already took out her bow and did a quick shot to the pantheron which was about to attack Claire from behind. Claire quickly made her gunblade to gun mode, then start fire a single bullet at the last pantheron's head and Claire's single bullet pierce the pantheron's head just before it pounce at her.

"Oh, well look like Lightning have it taken care of. Now I still need to rest. Just woke up from a crash landing does not make me feel any good right now." Vanille said to everyone as she sit down on the ground. "I'm with you on that one. Not my best time driving an airship. Next time, I would say we should get one of those battle airship. At least we have backup small airship to escape with." Sazh said to everyone as he sit down next to Vanille. "I rather not get on an airship anytime soon." Snow said to everyone as he keep on looking around in case new enemies would come.

Then Claire starts walking away from here with Serah following her. "What, no break?" Sazh ask Claire and Serah in confuse. "They're tracking us." Claire warn Sazh, because she doesn't want to face a whole army where it could cause Claire to waste time and unlike Esdese, Yang, Esdese, and I, she doesn't have the power to absorb the very element to recover her own strength.

"I know that. I know that, but we aren't soldiers! We don't have your kind of stamina." Sazh complain to Claire. "You've got enough to complain." Claire replied to Sazh, then continue walking as the girls follow her while Snow look a little trouble, but stay where he is, since he don't want to see Vanille be in danger. "Oh, that's-! Forget it!" Sazh shout at Claire and the others who leaving him, Vanille, Snow, and Hope behind. Then Hope walk up to Vanille and Sazh. "I think, um..." Hope try to say what on his mind to Sazh, but Snow place his hand on Hope's right shoulder causing Hope to look up at Snow. "Sorry kid, but I guess you have to stick with us and no I'm not trying to say you're weak, but if I have known those family so far. I would say...you would live around 1 hour to 1 day before one of their attacks go to friendly fire and you end up dead." Snow said to Hope by saying, that if he stick with my group. He will have a high chance of dying from friendly fire. As most of our attacks could kill beings easily and have a high chance of friendly fire, but Claire and Serah won't have any trouble, since they been train with everyone along with staying inside the gravity space prison field with high death rate with all the random change of gravity in all directions. Even if you got used to the sudden change, but you have to watch your surrounding with random flaming boulder, or random icicles coming at you from behind your blind spot. Then there a time your very being are crush with all increase gravity directions in one single spot.

"You should listen to him! He almost die facing Lightning and he was very close to death when it came to us!" Yang shout over to them before Hope could argue. "It true, I almost die around 50 time in a single year and been near death over 100 time when it come someone beside Claire. Heck, I got even stronger by just facing their death attacks and that with Ragna over there healing me over to make sure I don't die in their house. I still think he find it funny seeing me near death state. Ugh, and you don't want to face Esdese's wrath. Even now I wish, I die during those time. I swear I almost went insane that day. So Hope if you want to get stronger and not die at the first time training. I say stick with me and I train you myself." Snow said to Hope with a smile and quickly hit the back of Hope's neck to make him unconscious.

"No need to worry! I make sure they stay safe and save Cocoon while I'm at it!" Snow shout to us with a giant smile on his face while placing Hope on the ground next to Vanille and Sazh. "Good luck Snow! Don't die too soon!" Serah shout to Snow who have a forced smile now from what I could see. As we enter The Vile Peaks: Wrack and Ruin.

"So, are we going to use the house airship? I kinda feel bad leaving them behind though." Serah said with a sadness expression. "Nah, we need to keep that as a secret, for a while. There are always someone watching us from some where. So till then. We will be just walking." Weiss answer Serah's question. As we keep on walking across The Vile Peaks. "Serah, they'll catch up. Eventually." Claire said to Serah. "This place is a dump." Weiss said to mostly herself when she look around her in disgust. "Well with all the junk around here come from Pulse, so of course it a dump Weiss." Esdese said to Weiss as she continue walking towards the directions out of here.

"What now guys?" Yang said to everyone as she follow behind Claire leading us out of here. "I think we should just be ready in case of some enemies ambush us on the road." I answer Yang as I bought out Murasame from my soulscape. Now that I am with everyone who already know about Murasame and don't have to worry about someone seeing me bring it out of no where.

"Then if we find a good distance away from here we could bring out the house to sleep in for the night, then go back on walking. Great Red will let us know if someone spying on us during the time we stay in the house. "Good, because I didn't get enough sleep at all and waking up just enough time before we crash land doesn't do me any good." Weiss said to me while have a scowl on her face from the lack of good sleep. "I'm with Weiss. I need a good shower and a nice bed to sleep. This whole day is a little tiring. I'm surprise Ragna here didn't just bought the house in airship mode to fly us out of here. Too bad there too many unknown beings watching us right now." Yang said to everyone as she move her hands through her hair to see if there anything got in them.

"Let just continue on our way. I would like to sleep soon as well Yang, but I know we could stay a wake for a few days without sleep, but I would like to stay at 100% when I face strong enemies. Sadly right now, we can't just bring out our house here in this place. I feel like something bad could happen while we sleep." Esdese said to Yang. "Come on Yang! Weiss! We almost out this area and we could sleep soon." Serah said to them with a smile as she walk along with Claire.

Then we reach a split path and notice a dead end on the right path, so we walk to the left path, but a green tiger like monster jump at us from the right path.

Name: Thexteron

Lvl: 10

HP: 3,120

MP: 0

Serah did a quick head shot on reflex from being startle from seeing a thexteron jump out, which surprise Serah. "Now that just depressing. Are we going to face bunch of weak monsters around these place?" Esdese ask in a dull tone while kicking the dead thexteron's body over the other side of the area. "Well I think mostly everything in this world are weak to us Esdese." Weiss said to Esdese as we head to the left path now.

"My turn!" Yang shout excitedly as she notice another thexteron and 2 pantherons. Yang crack the thexteron's skull by smashing her right fist, then fire two shotgun rounds at the two pantherons causing them to blow up. Yang just stood there for a very second and pouted. "Darn, too fast again. Where are all the strong one?!" Yang shout in rage at not able to fight a little longer and all her opponents keep dying too easy. "Yang, it be more surprising if there were some strong enemies around here. Till then, we will just take turn killing monsters, that get in our way out of this dump." Weiss said to Yang as we walk up the hill.

I notice some kind of metal tower with a small platform to stand on, but I didn't trust it, since it could break right when I step on it, so I pour a little mana to my feet and did a high jump, then did a wall run to the other side while the girls just roll their eyes at me, but they took each turn to jump on the metal platform just in case. After everyone got to the other side we continue walking. "Really Ragna? Why wall run?" Yang ask me with a rise eyebrow. "I just didn't trust it from breaking down." I replied to Yang who just roll her eyes at me. "I wonder how the others are doing." Serah ask everyone. "Well if their strong enough without us, we should meet up with them soon, but if their weak...well we could place some tombstone later." Esdese said to Serah. "Esdese! That wasn't a good joke!" Serah pouted at Esdese who just smirk at her, "Who said it was a joke?"

Then we continue walking and jump over a small junk in front of us, then we see another enemies in front of us. "3 watchdrones, who want them?" Yang ask everyone when we see all the watchdrones charging right at us. Esdese just destroy them easily by piercing them with dozen of icicles around them, which cause them explode to pieces from having their main power core pierce by the dozen icicles Esdese created. "Oh, well I guess Esdese wanted them." Yang said to mostly herself as we walk around a few watchdrones' parts around the ground. Then we jump over the edge and see another 2 watchdrones along with a single thexteron.

Weiss didn't even let anyone else attack before she pull out her Myrtenaster and active both her wine and ice gemstones at the same time. As Weiss just took a single step and the thexteron have a white line right between it eyes as the thexteron been cut in half without exploding, because we could see a clean ice glass on the inside of the thexteron while the two watchdrones burst into ice mist. "Let keep on going. So we can meet with the others already." Weiss said with scowl at how late at night it is already.

We quietly follow Weiss, since everyone know Weiss like to sleep early, so she have enough energy for the next day. Then we walk up a hill and see a single soldier in front of us.

Name: Pulsework Soldier

Lvl: 13

HP: 7,410

MP: 0

"I got this." Claire said to us as she use thunder on the pulsework soldier, then did a front kick reinforce with her magic to send it up in the air. As Claire cast multiple thunder at the pulsework soldier in midair. I watch the pulsework soldier crash into ground with it right arm, that look like a machine shape of a belt, but it broke to pieces and it got back up. Claire didn't give it any chance to counter as she shock the pulsework soldier by using another thunder and did a slash. Claire kick the pulsework soldier off the edge to our left as we watch the pulsework soldier fell to it death.

"Feeling better Lightning?" Serah ask Claire with a smile. "Just a little, anyway let keep going." Claire answer Serah's question. Then we jump down the cliff. As we look around the area to see what other path we could take, because all we see is a giant wall to our right side. "Hey Lightning, Ragna, Esdese, you guys been to this place before?" Yang ask us. "I've been here on missions before. We should just climb up." Claire ask Yang's question as we start climbing up the wall, but I grab her hand before she could. Claire look at me in confuse, but widen her eyes from remembering, that I could just change the gravity around, so we could just walk up the wall instead of climbing it. "Gravity Space Prison." I active my gravity field around the wall as I change the gravity direction to allow everyone to walk up the wall now.

"Great idea Ragna." Serah said with a smile as she walk up the wall without a care in the world. "Come on everyone!" Serah call to the rest of us. "Wait up Serah!" Yang shout to Serah before she could leave us behind. After walking to the top of the wall, I cancel out gravity space prison to return the gravity around us to normal.

"Oh right! Ragna! Use your golden sword to cut off Lightning's Focus!" Yang said to me. Claire who heard Yang stop and look at me waiting for me to destroy her connection to the fal'Cie and Focus, but let her keep her magic.

[Golden Weapon Trio] Sword Torrwch

I grab the golden sword with my right hand and did a thrust to Claire's L'Cie tattoo as a bright light appear, then it disappear after a few second.

[Golden Weapon Trio] deactivated

"Well Lightning?" Serah ask her older sister Claire. Claire didn't say anything at first and turn her back to me as she check her tattoo. I could hear her sigh in relief. "The L'Cie tattoo been burn off. I could still feel my magic in my body though. I guess I'm like Serah now. A L'Cie without a Focus, but still have all it abilities, that come with being a L'Cie." Claire said to everyone with a smile.

I bought out the house in front of us and cast a large illusion magic around the area while I send out a few Great Red's light cubes to monitor the place in case someone come to the area. "Ok, we going to enter the training room to sleep." I said to the girls as we enter the house and the training room, then place a few blanket on the ground as we lay there with the stars above us to let us know just how long we sleep when the sun come up.

Day?: Continue Travel

'How long did we sleep? {Well you set it up as 3 hours/ 1 hour, so you been sleeping about 9 hours and 3 hours outside have pass.} Thanks Red. {Just keep on going, I haven't seen any good battle lately now.} Yeah, yeah, I will try to find some strong enemies, or just cause some problem around the place to get them to our location.' I said to Great Red as I wake all the girls to continue our travel. After a quick shower and breakfast, we continue our travel while I already place the house back inside my inventory.

"Damn it, even if we slept the night. Out here it still in the middle of the night." Yang grumble. "Let just keep on moving. I don't feel like staying in one place while we wait, for enemies to track us. Sadly, I don't have the patience to wait." Esdese said to everyone as she continue walking and jump over a few platforms.

When we land onto one the stairs set. We see Vanille, Sazh, Snow, and Hope. "Hey, welcome to the party!" Sazh said with a sarcasm tone. "You guys miss us?" Vanille ask us, but Claire just keep on walking up the stairs without saying a word. "Would it kill her to smile?" Sazh ask Serah. "It Lightning, of course she won't smile unless she doing family bonding time and by bonding, I meant in some dangerous situation, and not in one of those normal family bonding. I wonder how you could deal with these people Serah." Snow answer, for Serah on Sazh's question with a dull tone.

"Yikes, I think when they have a family bonding time, and try to invite anyone else. Make sure to remind me to gently decline their invitation." Sazh said to Snow and quickly shut his mouth when he notice Weiss cold glare at his direction while Yang, Serah, and Esdese follow Claire. "Oh don't worry about it Sazh, because I'm going to drag you into one of those time, even if it kill ya." I said with a evil grin. "Please tell me you're joking." Sazh pleaded me as he start to shake in fear. I just keep my grin and give him a pat on the back. As I walk towards where Claire and the others are while Sazh just sigh in depress. "Come on old man, we still got to get Hope to his father." Snow pat Sazh left shoulder with a sad smile on his face.

I could still feel Hope's glare at the back of my head while Yang looking around bored and start to mess around one of her tracking bug to see if they need any upgrade. "Hey Yang, what are those?" Vanille ask Yang when she notice Yang have her tracking devices with a bomb attach to it from within. "Oh it nothing, for you to worry about Vanille." Yang said with a smile as she place the tracking bug on her left wrist, then pull out her scroll to start checking on the tracking bug to see if it need any improvement, or if there any error. Vanille just look over Yang's shoulder to see what she doing on the scroll, beside Vanille wanted to ask, but know that Yang is focusing on it, so Vanille decided not to say a thing and keep on looking at what Yang doing on her scroll.
