Me: (sigh) has Rebirthflame abandoned my story?

Lloyd: Huh? Why are you so down?

Me: It's nothing. Just,… Rebirth has reviewed or anything for a long time but I was checking some of the reviews for Freakyanimegal's self insert after reviewing it myself and Rebirth had left a review. Has my story lost the interest of some people? What's going on? If there's something that's wrong with my story then please tell me so I can fix it.

Lloyd: well what about I.K.A. and Animefreak? They've been reviewing.

Me: I know but ….(sigh) Rebirth is one of those people that I feel like if I met her in person then we could become really good friends. Not that it's not the same for I.K.A. or Animefreak, I'm just saying… It's kinda like when Kayla moved away the first time and I didn't receive a letter from her for almost a year.

Lloyd: I guess that would be rough.

Me: Forget about my rambling. Let's just start the story.

Lloyd: Jen Rem doesn't own ToS or FF. Only Tiamatt, the Oblivion Blade, Ash, Eria, and Oblivion.

"Yes, we have found the Rhierds but with out Volt's power, they will be useless." Tiga, the vice-chief of Mizuho told us as we sat in his house.

"Volt?!" Sheena gasped.

"Yes, you must make a pact with Volt before you retrieve the Rhierds." Tiga nodded. Sheena's face paled and she glanced over at the body of the Chief of Mizuho who slept in a coma.

"I….I can't do it!" Sheena yelled, leaping to her feet and rushing out of the building.

"What's wrong with her?" Zelos asked as he heard the door slam shut.

"Sheena failed to make a pact with Volt a few years ago. Volt became enraged and as a result, our Chief went into a coma along with almost a third of Mizuho's population dying." Tiga sighed.

"So that's why she didn't want to make a pact with Undine at first." Genis noted.

"Maybe we should go talk to her." Lloyd offered.

"Great idea. But why don't you do it. It seems like she has a thing for you." Zelos smirked. Lloyd sighed but nodded and followed Sheena outside.

"Tiamatt, are you ok?" Presea asked, noticing a look of sorrow on my face.

"It's from the Wars isn't?" Oblivion asked, nudging my shoulder.

"The Wars?" Regal, Zelos, and Presea looked confused.

"My want for my memories and powers back ended up reviving the Calamity and almost resulted in the second summoning of Meteor. Though I was stopped, hundreds, no thousands of people lost their lives." I sighed, the feeling of being unable to control my own body and actions returning to my mind.

"We will explain the rest to you when we can." Raine added, seeing the pain the memories brought.

"It's strange how similar the pains of this world is to those of our world." I sighed, looking at Oblivion as we stood up and walked out of the house.

"I imagine that it triggers a lot of painful memories." Oblivion replied. "I could never live with that kind of pain and the knowledge that I caused the pain and suffering of thousands of people. I don't know how you or the original Tiamatt put up with it."

"I think its because… I had friends like you to help me pull through. Even that annoying brat of a son of yours has helped me greatly. He's a great warrior and friend though he needs to stop arguing with Nightfire." I laughed. "Still without him, Nightfire, and Jo I would have been used solely as a tool, a puppet through which Jenova's consciousness lived on in and manipulated."

"He has become strong." Oblivion smiled.

"Hey, are you two coming or not?!" Lloyd yelled, the rest of the group and a still nervous yet more confident Sheena standing below the arced entrance.

"Race?" Oblivion asked with a grin.

"What? For only twenty feet?" I asked back walking towards the others.

"True." The wolf shrugged, leaping beside me as we joined the group and began to head towards the forest, north back towards the dock to the island where Volt would be waiting.

It took several days journey to reach the island but soon enough we all stood outside the Temple of Lightening. I couldn't help but feel there was something familiar in the temple and I noticed that Oblivion and Eria seemed to think the same thing.

"GF?" Eria asked me, after trying to figure out the strange feeling.

"It's possible. After all, when Tiamatt died, all equipped GFs would have been released but being in an unfamiliar world, they would seek someplace where they would feel comfortable." Oblivion said.

"What are…GFs?" Lloyd asked, just as confused as the other Symphonians.

"Guardian Forces, like Phoenix. The giant bird I turned into at Asgard." I told him. "Their kinda like summon spirits but the person to whom the GF is equipped to goes through a temporary transformation. The person actually turns into the GF and is able to use their strength as an aid in battle. However, GFs act like data on a computer, the more you have, the more memory they take up."

"So they make you forget memories?" Genis asked. "If that's true then how did you remember everything from both Tiamatt and your memories?"

"The people of our world recently developed a spell that counteracts the side-effects of a GF so they are perfectly safe to equip." Oblivion added.

"Interesting!" Raine exclaimed, eyes sparkling. "I would love to study one of these GFs you speak of!"

"umm…." I trailed off. "Hey Oblivion! Race ya!?"

"Your on!" the wolf grinned as we both bolted into temple.

"Hey! I want to get a GF!" Eria yelled, chasing after us.

"We better go after them." Lloyd sighed, slightly embarrassed by our behavior.

"I guess." Sheena gulped nervously, following Lloyd and the others into the temple.

By the time the others got into the temple, I was wishing I had the Sorcerer's ring to blast a stone out of my way. Eria was punching the block but it refused to break and even after I brought the Oblivion Blade down on the cube, it still did not shatter.

"Dammit!" I cursed, kicking the block in anger. "Lloyd, you have the Ring, you destroy this!"

"Tiamatt calm down. I'm sure your GF will still be there." Lloyd sighed, as he looked around for the ring terminal. "Hey! It shoots blue electricity!"

"Sheena you don't by chance remember how to get to Volt do you?" Raine asked the shinobi.

"No. The others cleared the traps for me and lead me there but I don't really remember anything much." She replied.

"Please destroy this block!" Eria yelled, frustrated. "I want to get to Quezacotl before Mom and Oblivion!"

"Did you just call me mom?" I asked, blinking in surprise.

"I'm sorry. I won't call you that again I promise." Eria replied, embarrassed from the slip. I could hear the other stifling laughs behind me.

"Shut up! I don't care if she calls me that!" I yelled angrily at them.

"Ok 'mom'!" Zelos laughed. "She's makes you sound so old."

"I'm not particularly young anyways you idiot!" I retorted. "For crying out loud, I'm older than both Yggdrasil and Kratos combined."

"Man you are old." Oblivion laughed.

"Shut it Dogbreath!" I hit the wolf on the head, causing him to yelp.

"Umm…can we please just get going." Eria said, embarrassed that she had caused so much trouble.

"Yes, please. The sooner we get this done with the sooner we can save Colette." Lloyd reminded everyone as he blasted the stone.

Oblivion, Eria, and I all glanced at each other before taking off again, further into the temple. But we had to stop once more as another stone blocked our path. Lloyd sighed as the others entered the chamber and he destroyed the block once more.

"I think…Volt is in this room." Sheena said slowly, trying to remember where the spirit was located as Oblivion, Eria, and me disappeared once more.

The rest of the group followed Sheena up a pair of stairs as my small group ran into a room that had a large pool of electrified water in the middle of it, a lightening rod causing a large bolt of lightening to travel trough the rod and into the water.

"Quezacotl! Show yourself!" I yelled, the electricity in the air making all the hair on me and Eria stand on end and making Oblivion look like a walking puff ball.

A lightening bolt ten times the size of the previous bolts shot down form the ceiling, making a blinding flash as it hit the rod. When the light had died down, a huge yellow and green lightening bird hovered over us.

"Tiamatt of the Cetra, Oblivion of the Wolves, and …who is this young one?" The bird asked, peering at us with its strange, almost nonexistent eyes.

"I am Eria, daughter of Tiamatt!" The young girl yelled proudly at the Guardian Force. "We have come to gain your power!"

"Daughter of Tiamatt? Strange. How did this come to be?" Quezacotl asked me.

"Please, don't ask." I replied, knowing very well who she said her father was but with the last experience with him… Kratos was out of luck.

"Fine. But what about Lord Oblivion? Was he not killed in an attempt to free you from the Calamity?" the thunderbird continued.

"I have been given permission from Terran himself to be in the world of the living till Tiamatt can regain her memory." Oblivion answered. "And please, I am no longer the ruler of the Wolves of Mars. Do not call me Lord."

"As you wish." Quezacotl bowed his head respectfully.

"What in mana is that?" someone yelled behind us, causing us to turn around.

"Are these your companions?" Quezacotl asked, examining the Symphonians behind us.

"Yes, they are. They are my friends but they will not be participating in our battle." I explained. Raine and Lloyds' faces dropped after hearing this and were about to complain when Quezacotl lifted his head high and spread his wings as far as possible, causing a strange barrier to separate Oblivion, Eria, and I from the others.

"Very well. Let us begin."

"You guys unlock Volt while we fight Quezacotl. We should be done by then." I yelled at Lloyd and the others as I pulled my sword from behind me and turned to face the giant thunderbird.

"Ok. Meet you there then." Lloyd replied back leading the others up a flight of nearby stairs.

"Haste!" My spell caused a blue glow to surround my small group as Oblivion concentrated on his own.

"Regen!" A green glow momentarily surrounded us as Eria charged first at the GF.

"Dolphin Blow!" Eria leapt into the air, performing an uppercut on Quezacotl and flipping backwards while also delivering a kick to the jaw of the bird as she landed on the ground. I couldn't help but feel a surge of pride surge through me as she attacked the Guardian Force with intense calculated blows.

"Lunatic High!" A strange red energy surrounded Oblivion, casting the risky spell, Berserk on the wolf as he howled towards the sky. The aura dissipated but his silver fur now carried blood red markings over his body. He snarled and charged at Quezacotl as Eria landed on the ground after another attack.

"Wall!" I cast my second spell in an attempt to add some protection from the thunderbird's attack.

With a yelp, Oblivion was sent flying into the electrified barrier as Quezacotl swatted him away with a wing. Eria leapt back at the bird but he wrapped his wings around himself, gathering energy for an attack. Eria's fist made contact with the sparking creature and she screamed as thousands of volts charged through her body and she fell to the ground. Rushing forward, I was able to stop her fall and tried to junction my Thunder Materia so I could absorb some of the incoming attacks but Quezacotl was quicker and released his pent up energy.

The wave of electricity raced at us as he spread his wings wide and arched his head high, a ball of energy forming at his mouth. I tried to move forward, Fire Materia now glowing as I tried to counter but Quezacotl lowered his head and released the lightening from his body, creating a beam of electricity. We all screamed in pain as over 100,000 volts jolted through our bodies and sent us crashing to the ground.

"Tia…" Oblivion huffed, climbing slowly to his feet, "You don't by chance have anything or anyone who can help us do you?"

"…"

"What about the Choco/Mog Materia?" Eria asked, auburn eyes burning fiercely with the joy of battle. "That doesn't use much energy and it sometimes cast Stop."

"You're right." I nodded, accessing the requested Materia's power. "Deathblow!"

The orb of energy that had formed in my hand from the summon shot into the ground. A second later, a large hole appeared above Quezacotl and a huge chubby Chocobo fell form the sky onto to the thunderbird. Quezacotl screeched in pain as the impact smashed him in the ground and the chocobo faded away with a warble. The downed bird was a perfect opportunity to attack and blue flames surrounded my sword.

"Dragon's rage!" I rushed forward and swung the sword outward towards Quezacotl. The flames fanned out, forming a dozen new swords that raced towards the thunderbird as he tried to regain lift. With another pain filled screech, the swords sliced through the GF. I then swung the original sword upwards; the flames surrounding it forming a brilliant pillar of slicing light as I brought the attack down upon Quezacotl.

"Firaga!" Oblivion's flames surrounded the falling bird and Eria delivered a series of amazingly fast punched and kicks before leaping away from the defeated Guardian Force.

"I have been…defeated." Quezacotl sighed, a blinding light enveloping him get before he could hit the ground once more. In his place now hovered a small glowing ball of energy that sparked with electrical energy.

"So whose gonna claim him?" Oblivion asked, out of breath from the battle.

"Eria, why don't you take Quezacotl. You fought well and we've had a Guardian Force before. Quezacotl will be a good starter for you." I told the young teen. Her eyes brightened up immediately and all fatigue seemed to drop away.

"Really?" Eria asked me in disbelief. I nodded and a smile spread across her face as she ran towards the GF and bonded with the strange being. Smiling she turned back to me and did the last thing I expected. "Thank you!" She said as she clung to me tightly in her hug. My shock melted away to happiness and pride as I looked at her and realized that even though she might not have been born in this dimension, the family bond was still there and growing stronger.

"Eria it's just a GF. There will be plenty more." I sighed finally wiggling out of her grasp.

"I know but back home, you never allowed me to have a GF or even a Summon Materia. You always said they were too dangerous and I was too young to be responsible for such power." Eria answered, still smiling form ear to ear.

"Well, from what I've seen, you're more then ready to wield a Guardian Force." I smiled back at her.

"How touching." Oblivion laughed, snapping Eria and me out of the family moment. "I can honestly say I'm happy for you Tia. But aren't we suppose to meet up with the others?"

"Yeah, lets-"

"Corrine! No!" Sheena's cry could be heard coming from the room just behind us and we all raced in to see Sheena kneeling over Corrine, the human made summon spirit and Sheena's best friend. Watching the scene must have triggered something cause a wave of memories flooded my mind.

"Sheena,…make the pact with Volt." Corrine said weakly, his body beginning to fade. "Volt's just lost his faith in people. Just try again and …you'll succeed…" Corrine faded away, leaving Sheena weeping over an empty spot on the ground.

"Corrine…Volt! I demand you make a pact with me!' Sheena screamed, leaping to her feet and facing a large ball of electricity with eyes.

"…"

"Let us fight then." Raine translated as Volt charged at the Symphonians.

My group of three simply sat back and watched too exhausted from our own battle to fight another. But that did not matter because soon, Volt was asking Sheena the conditions to the pact.

"It's just as I said. I want to protect everyone who has helped and protected me. I want to help those who mean the most to me and the worlds themselves." Sheena replied proudly.

"…"

"Very well." Raine translated. Volt became a small orb of energy similar to Quezacotl and approached Sheena before disappearing.

"You did it!" Lloyd cheered.

"Yeah I guess I…" Sheena was cut short as an earthquake shook the temple and I fell to the ground screaming.

Something had happened that caused the planet extreme momentary pain. Being Cetra, the planet's scream caused intense pain as it echoed through my head till I finally blacked out from the pain.

Oblivion POV

"Tiamatt!" she fell, screaming with her hands around her head as the earth shook for a moment. I moved quickly to catch her over my back but she was already out cold.

"What was that?" the red haired Zelos asked.

Two orbs of energy appeared before the summoner Sheena and floated to the middle of the chamber, materializing into the living ball of electricity that they had called Volt and a blue woman who looked like a strange combination of Shiva and Leviathan.

"A mana link has been broken." The blue spirit explained.

"What do you mean?" the red clad swordsman, Lloyd asked.

"…"

"Hold on, I'll translate." The silver haired Raine said. "'A link between the two sister worlds has been broken.'"

"But why?" Genis asked.

"We do not know. All we know is that a link between Sylvarant and Theth'ella has been broken." The blue woman replied.

"Undine and Volt are elemental opposites. Is it possible that since these two are now awake at the same time that it might have triggered the mana breakage?" Genis asked, thinking about the situation.

"That would make sense." I nodded even though I was not from this world and was only just starting to understand how this world worked.

"So if we break all the links, the mana between the worlds would stop flowing, thus stopping the competition for mana." Raine concluded.

"Perhaps." Undine replied.

"Then we should find some of the other summon spirits after we rescue Colette." Lloyd said.

"Speaking of Colette, we should go get the Rhierds so we can go get from form Rodyle." Zelos added. The group nodded and the two summon spirits disappeared. I noticed Sheena pick up something shiny from the floor, smiling sadly as she looked at it.

"Thank you Corrine." She whispered before leaving with everyone else out of the temple.

"Oblivion, is Mom ok?" Eria asked, looking at me with a spark of worry.

"Tiamatt will be fine. She just needs to rest." I replied, walking back into the sunlight as we left the ancient building. "Eria, you're half Cetra. Why were you not affected by the tremor like your mother?"

"Um…well…I'm kinda …deaf to the planet." She replied, rubbing her neck in embarrassment. "Kinda like how I can't use normal magic, even with a materia."

"I thought Cetra were more magically powerful than humans but I guess you've proven me wrong." I laughed. "Of course Tia told me she had to have training from Aeris so she could hear the planet."

"Oblivion, We're going to set up camp here tonight so everyone can rest." Lloyd yelled at me as I was kind of dragging behind from carrying Tiamatt on my back and talking to Eria at the same time.

"That's fine." I replied, catching up with the strange group that had become friends with Tiamatt and Eria. I laid down and with Eria's help, had Tiamatt lying down on the ground so she could rest more comfortably. "It's amazing how little yet how much you've changed." I mumbled, looking down at my best friend. "Hopefully Terran has screwed everything up."
