Final Fantasy: The Dark Times: Chapter 5
*Authors note: So we left of with Sabin asking about Mog, but Bara Kuro didn't tell him, so you can probably guess what's going to happen next in my little story. . .*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Tell me where Mog is!," Sabin screamed at the faceless monster, "Tell me right now or I'll kill you!"
"Why exactly do you want this creature back in your possesion?," Bara asked Sabin.
"I don't want him back in my "POSSESION", he's my friend, and I don't want anything to happen to him," said Sabin.
"You are willing to risk your life for this little beast?," it asked.
"Yes," said Sabin softly, "I am."
"Well, So be it. If you can beat me, you get your friend back," Bara said, "but if I win, I get your life."
"Why do you want to kill me anyways?," Sabin asked a little puzzled.
"Someone by the name of Kefka has awoken me," it went on, "The one who awakens me is given a request, and his requset was to destroy you. . ."
The creatures left hand swung at Sabin, narrowly missing him, crashing into the wall and leaving huge gouges in the stone.
Sabin picked up a rock and threw it at the monster to see if it would hurt it, but it didn't even glance to where it was hit. The rick bounced off like it never made contact.
The creature attacked again, this time with the scythe. It made a swing from the right, but Sabin jumped it. The scythe also put a gouge in the wall, cracking parts of the stone wall, small pebbles falling on the floor.
"Isn't this fun?," asked Bara in a sarcasticly evil voice.
It swung it's mighty scythe agin from the left, and Sabin ducked it, the scythe missing by a long shot. Sabin stood up, "Is that all you've got?"
It replied, "I'm just getting started."
Bara's scythe dissapeared into it's hand. She raised her hands into the air and started to stay still. The light around her dimmed, so dark that all that could be seen were to balls of glowing light. Red light, that Sabin remembered from somewhere else. He couldn't quite put his finger on it. . .
The darkness started to lighten up, and the shape of Bara was able to be seen vaugely. It didn't look like Bara though. It was more BEAST-like, much more jagged and evil looking. . .
"Do you remember me???," it screeched.
Sabin stared in horror as it walked slowly out of the darkness, into the light where Sabin could see Bara's new form, the form she had taken over. . . Atma.
Atma reared it's head back and let out a deafening roar.
"Come on Sabin," it said, "You could beat Atma with all your friends, can you beat him all alone?"
The massive beast lunged forward at Sabin, smashing it's head through the wall. It went to pull it's head back in, but it couldn't. It pulled and pulled, but it seemed to be stuck.
"Now's the time Sabin," he thought to himself, "If I can attack now, I might stand a chance. Now what do I remember from before? Magic! He has no real physical power without magic!"
Deep in the back of his head, he could remember a spell.
RASP. He cast it on Atma.
The creature growled.
RASP again.
Atma seemed to be growing weaker.
RASP.
RASP.
The massive beast collapsed with an enormous THUD. Sabin wobbled on his feet.
Atma began to shrink, to darken. It's skin changed from a brownish color to a darker brown, then into pitch black. It;s eyes shrunk until all that was left was a black, oval shaped head. It's tail sucked into the back of Bara, as it totally transformed back into it's normal self.
Sabin looked at the limp creature. He stared for a minute. He couldn't understand a few things. Where was Mog? Now that the creature is dead, how do I find out? Where am I?
Sabin turned around and looked at the empty doorcase, hoping to see Mog appear. Nothing. He looked up onto the platform. Nothing. He looked over in the corner. All that was in the corner was some rope.
He didn't want to believe it, but maybe his friend was gone for good.
"He's not gone," said Bara's voice, "But he's not here because you have not yet defeated me!"
Bara's body floated back into the middle of the room, "You cannot defeat me you foolish mortal! I AM YOUR GOD!!"
Her scythe formed again from her hand.
"RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!," Bara let out a ferocious howl, as she swung the scythe in a downward motion. It came in slow motion. The menacing scythe coming down, Sabin knew he had no chance.
Wait. . .
He felt something in his pocket. . .
Something hard. . .
Pointy on the tips. . .
He pulled it out. . .
THE ESPER! He had totally forgotten about it! He pointed the magicite crystal at Bara, and hollared in a deep voice, "BAHAMUT."
Fire and glowing light seemed to burst from the crystal. A huge Dark blue dragon formed in the bright light. It stood there.
The scythe connected with Bahamut's shoulder, not even phasing him.
He opened his mouth. The last thing Sabin saw, was a huge ball of flame engulf Bara. Then, the shock hit him too. . .
Sabin woke up. He looked around. He was still in the shrine, but he was alive. He did it! He defeated Bara! All by himself, well, the assistance of a giant dragon helped a little.
He went to stand up, but something seemed to be stuck to him. He looked down at his side.
Mog was curled up beside him asleep.
"You sleep little friend," he said, "Because tommorow we continue on our journey."
