When the dust cleared, Vanessa was in the air. She looked completely different. Her hair was a shade of purple and red and a whole bunch of feathers was in the front of her hair and in the back. The robe she was wearing, that was partially burned by the Grand Lethal attack, was in tatters. (So she basically looked like Trance Kuja.) Except for the fact that her tail and eyes were purple as well. Vanessa looked at her hands. So this is the power of Trance, she thought. A light smile unfolded on her lips, slightly. Zidane took a moment to realize his mistake. He dropped his sword immediately and fell to his knees. Please tell me I didn't kill my brother, Zidane thought.
Vanessa looked down at the others. She couldn't believe it. All the power she longed for. Here. Now. Running through her veins. She laughed out loud. "Zidane, how helpful you've been." "…No." was Zidane's response. "You helped me get all this power." "Shut up!" "Now..you've made it easier to kill your friends. Say goodbye, Zidane." Vanessa rose her hand, still laughing manically. Katrina looked at everyone else. Weren't they going to help him? She thought. "Come on, aren't you going to help him!!" she screamed out. No one answered. Then she knew. Vanessa froze time. It affected everyone except for Zidane and Katrina. The near direct descendants of Kuja. The feather Kuja gave her hung from one of her earrings, brushed against her face.
"Zidane, get up!" she screamed again. Zidane didn't answer. He was still grieving over Kuja. Katrina rushed over to Zidane while sheathing her Dragon's Hair Spear into the sheathe on her back. She tried to get Zidane to stand while Vanessa was slightly distracted with spell casting. Vanessa pointed her finger at Katrina and Zidane, releasing the Flare spell at them. Katrina knocked Zidane over and covered him, shielding him from the attack. A loud metallic sound of a spell bouncing off a shield made Katrina open her eyes and look up.
"Huh?" Katrina stood up. Everyone was still basically frozen, so how did the shield appear? She thought. Zidane got up and rubbed his head. "What happened?" he asked. "I don't know." Katrina looked up to see if Vanessa was there. She had disappeared. Zidane poked the shield causing it to disappear. The adults were still frozen. Alicia and Zinnia peeked out from behind Freya. "It looks like I'll have to send you guys out." "What? But we cant handle this alone, Zidane. We'll die!" "Listen Katrina. Your parents believe in your abilities and so do I. Now you're the only ones we can depend on right now."
"But…" "No buts. Now everyone come out." Alicia, Zinnia and the others walked out and stood in line. "Alicia, Zinnia. You're the summoners for the group. Here is your jewels." Zidane ordered while handing the stones to Alicia and Zinnia. "Vivi Jr., you're the black mage for the group. Cyrus will be meeting you guys at the Iifa Tree. Katrina you're the secondary leader for the group just in case Zane messes up." Katrina and everyone else nodded. "Now..you'll have to go through Fossil Roo, and through the Mountain Path to get to the Iifa Tree. It is a very long journey but remember, your parents are counting on you." "What about you, Zidane?" "I have to stay here just incase Vanessa decides to attack again." Katrina nodded and turned to face Zane. "Oh by the way, here's the world map." Zidane handed it to them and went upstairs to radio Alexandria Castle. Zane glanced at everyone. "Well, lets get going." The group nodded. Why do I have the feeling this isn't going to be ok, Katrina thought..
