My POV:

As we fought Gabranth off, I started to grow tired. *No! I can't give u-* my thoughts were cut short when I was sent crashing onto the ground by Gabranth's sword. "Agh!" I exclaimed.

"Hear me, Basch! Do not think killing the kingslayer will win you back your honor! When you abandoned home and kin, your name was forever stained with blood!" I heard Gabranth shout. I struggled to get up, but Vaan came over to my side and gave me a potion. I quickly drank it and got up slowly with the help of Vaan. He put his arm around my waist as he held me upright.

"Magic -cough- won't work! Physical attacks only!" I shouted as I ran to Gabranth and struck him with my blades.

"Don't use your Espers either!" Kai-niichan exclaimed. Gabranth grunted and kicked me square in the stomach. I fell down, but got back up as I dealt another blow to him. Gabranth, gasping for air, assumed a battle stance again as he faced us.

"So you, too, would leave your debts unpaid?" he asked.

"Enough of this! I can bear no more!" Cid shouted as he entered the room. Cid approached Gabranth. "You disappoint me, Gabranth. He trusted you." He pushed Gabranth. "When you bared steel against the Princess, you foreswore your obligations to your emperor! You shame yourself and make mockery of Lord Larsa's trust. You are unfit to serve him as sword or shield. And so I release you from that service. Your presence is neither required nor welcome." Cid walked forward, and Gabranth was going to strike him in the back, but Venat stopped him. Gabranth was sent flying through the air and crashed against a stone pillar, then fell to the ground.

"Gabranth!" Basch shouted.

"You were only a tool of this Venat." Balthier stated. Venat appeared beside Cid.

"How quaint. We are allies! The Occuria give men power as a master feeds his dog: it is meant to tame us. How well you've resisted their wile. By turning your back on their stones, you give us free hand to write our own history." Cid explained.

"And at what price? Dalmasca's freedom for your nethicite? I shall not suffer you to have it. The Sun-cryst be damned!" Ashe exclaimed. Cid walked up in front of the Sun-cryst.

"Oh, be sure that it is! For what other purpose do you think you've brought us here? But stay your Occurian sword! The Sun-cryst is glutted with Mist, too precious a thing to waste! Let us use the Stone! Finish this, Venat!" Cid exclaimed as he threw the stone in the air. I let out a small noise as three different colored lights formed a triangle. Venat followed the stone and Cid laughed maniacally. "And lo! How brightly burned their lanthorn! Casts it back the shadow of Occurian design! Testament that Man's history shall be His alone!" Cid shouted.

Balthier shook his head, "You made your nethicite for this." He stepped forward. "You mimic the Occuria's Stone for what? To become a god yourself?" Balthier asked.

"On whose shoulders better to stand than those of the would-be gods! Such high hopes I once had...but you ran, and they with you! Alas, your return is too late. Come, Ffamran! Revel in the glory of my triumph!" Cid exclaimed. Thus, began the battle. We kept fighting him and I poured some of my energy into this fight. I would avenge Sem when we fought off Vayne.

"Balthier!" I shouted as he got shot in the leg. I saw Penelo run over to him and I glared at Cid. "What kind of a father are you?" I shouted at Cid. He looked at me with some interest. He tried to shoot me, but I dodged the bullets. "You….you should be ashamed of yourself! Balthier ran away from you!" I exclaimed. I could feel everyone's eyes on me as I dodged each and every one of Cid's bullets. I ran up to him and slashed him up. "He doesn't -grunt- even recognize you as his father anymore!" I screamed as I closed my eyes and held my hand up to him. I heard a groan and I opened my eyes slowly. I was expecting to cast a simple Blizzara spell, but…I had cast Blizzaja on him! I smirked, but Cid got up slowly, holding a glowing orange piece of manufacted nethicite in his hand.

"Behold the manufacted nethicite... the fruit of our power and knowledge! See what the Stone of Man is capable of! Witness its power with your own eyes! Famfrit! To me!" he shouted as Famfrit got summoned.

"Basch! Summon Mateus! Vaan! Summon Hashmal!" I shouted. They nodded and summoned the Espers. During the battle, Mateus and Hasmal were injured badly and had to go back to Basch and Vaan. I let out a shout as I struck Famfrit down. I managed to hurt him a bit, then I just kept slashing like crazy until Famfrit turned into a little white light and went into my chest. "Me…?" I muttered. I didn't notice Cid about to shoot me, until Balthier grunted and pulled me into him.

"Watch out." he muttered as he aimed to shoot his father. I nodded and went back to battling Cid with the others. I ran towards Cid and slashed him on the back, then slashed him once again. It looked like Balthier got the finishing blow as he shot his father. Cid was gasping for breath, and he attempted to raise his guns, but dropped them on the floor and collapsed. Cid was face-down on the ground, barely alive, as the Sun-cryst raged out of control behind him. Balthier attempted to approach him, but Venat materialized between them. Balthier smirked.

"Let him by, Venat. It is done." Cid said as he slowly got up. *The hell? Didn't we kill him?* I thought. "Ah, how I have enjoyed these six years."

"The pleasure was all mine." Venat said as he disappeared. Balthier stepped forward, and Cid appeared to be slowly dissolving into Mist.

"Was there no other way?" Balthier asked.

"Spend your pity elsewhere. If you are so set on running, hadn't you best be off? Fool of a pirate." he disappeared in a flash of light. I hugged Balthier and he just hugged me back lightly.

"Balthier…" I whispered. *I know how he feels….to lose your father…* I thought.

"Fran?" we heard Penelo ask. I let go of Balthier and ran over to her side.

"The Mist burns. To bursting it beats. The cocoon!" Fran exclaimed. Balthier walked over and kneeled down. "The Sun-cryst bursts. You must run. As far as you can." she told us.

"Easy, Fran." Balthier said. I could see worry in his eyes. Fran placed her hand on his cheek and I smiled. For the first time since we entered this tower, I smiled.

"Hadn't you best be off? That's what a sky pirate does. You fly, don't you?" Fran asked. Balthier smiled.

"I suppose you'd better hang on then."

We heard Vaan yell, "Ashe! The sword! We have to stop it!" Ashe, holding the Sword of Kings, struggled against the Mist, but she could barely step forward.

"You must quit this place. It's reacting. I have not seen its like before! Nay, never this large. Never such threat impendent." Reddas stated as he held the Sword of Kings. "For Nabudis."

"Reddas?" Vaan asked. Reddas ran forward and jumped high in the air.

"Reddas, NO!" Vaan and I shouted.

"I, Judge Magister, condemn you to oblivion!" Reddas exclaimed as he struck the Sun-Cryst. Everything turned white and all I remembered was Penelo and Vaan helping me run the hell out of there.
