DUEL OF FATES
"Power of the sky, fade to silence. Lightning Stab !" Ramza begin the fight with his SwordSkill. "This should do the task" Freya leaped high, far higher than Bizarro Sephiroth. "Vivi now !" She demanded. "Thundaga" Vivi aimed his spell at Freya's spear tip. "Lord Odin, hear this mortal request, bring forth thy lance. Summon Odin" Ramza recites a summon spell. A portal appeared. Odin came out of it above his six-legged horse, the legendary Sleipnir. "Where's my victim ?" He rumbled. "That foul creature" Ramza pointed at Bizarro Sephiroth. Without any replies, Odin pulls his horse bridle then throws a gigantic lance upward.
Odin's lance came down upon Bizarro Sephiroth together with Freya. Just before the lances touched Bizarro Sephiroth, she leaped to safety.
The result is extremely devastating. Typical monster would surely destroyed by such attack. But this wasn't typical monster. Bizarro Sephiroth still stands. "Don't show any mercy !" Ramza shouted. "Master Vivi, now !" Steiner said with his sword ready. "Firaga !" Vivi casted the strongest fire-spell upon Steiner's sword. With his sword charged up, Steiner takes a strike on Bizarro Sephiroth.
"My turn.... Teleportation" Zidane teleported himself to Bizarro Sephiroth's head portion. He delivers multiple of slash and hacks. "What a weak attack" All of Bizarro Sephiroth do is bring its wing to swat off the attacker. "I HAAAATE THIIIISS !!!!" Zidane got thrown because of the impact. "Look, you don't have to do that to impress me...." Garnet said.
Not yet give up, Zidane try another attack. With a Teleportation Skill, he teleported himself to Bizarro Sephiroth's right wing. With his best, he slices off the thin wing of the monster. "Useless.... ULTIMA !!".
Bizarro Sephiroth created a glowing orb above them. The orb suddenly explodes and its explosion spreads out. It was enough to fatally wound all of our heroes.
"This is it..... LIMIT BREAK BLASTING ZONE !" Zidane gathered a mass of energy on his dagger. It creates a tall bright light-column. He brought that to Bizarro Sephiroth. As the Limit Break resides, the monster is wounded. "LIMIT BREAK CLIMHAZZARD !". "LIMIT BREAK BRAVER". Ramza and Beatrix unleash their limit break at same time. He performs a rising slash while she performs a downward slash.
Bizarro Sephiroth goes limb after the great attacks and began to fall. "WE DID IT !!!!" Zidane cheered. "Curaga" Eiko cast her curative spell for everyone. "It's a tough battle. But we did it" Steiner exclaimed.
"Not so fast. Poison !!" A nasty spells come upon them. "T t that wasn't Sephiroth...." Ramza said, badly poisoned. "K k k Kuja !!".
"Right" Kuja landed on the spot with his white dragon. "We shouldn't have been careless" Steiner said weakly. "Too late for that. Silence !" Smartly, Kuja cast Silence spells on Garnet and Eiko. "Now you can't recover".
"But you won't cast any spell either... Master of magic, cut energy. Dark Sword" Ramza swing his sword. He created a magical hole above Kuja. It absorbs all of Kuja's Mana. "And you missed me. ESUNA !" Beatrix cast a magic which removes all of negative status upon them. "And we still got this" Zidane took a bottle labeled Mega-Elixir and sprays it upon his friends. "ZIDANE, THAT'S OUR LAST ELIXIR !!" Garnet shouted.
"Is that so ?" Sephiroth's voice echoed. "Uh oh. I guess we celebrate it too soon" Eiko said.
All of them are lifted into a strange place where blue sky and clouds dominates the place. "Where are we ?" Garnet looked her surroundings. "Hell if I know" Zidane replied. "No, not this again..." Kuja trembles in fear.
(One Winged Angel, final battle, FF VII)
The sky opened. An angel, floats on his six wings instead of feet descend from the sky. A huge solid purple wing covered his body. As the wing spread, it reveals the body of Sephiroth. "I am the One Winged Angel Sephiroth" Sephiroth spoken. "Gracious..." Beatrix gazed at the sight of the deadly angel.
"His magic are immense" Vivi spoken. "Of course. METEOR !" Sephiroth summoned a single gigantic Meteor on the sky. With his command it starts to move toward Kuja. "Die !". "NOOOOOO !!!!!!!!........" Kuja's scream vanishes as the gigantic meteor struck him.
"Master of magic, cut energy. Dark Sword !" Ramza unleash his SwordSkill to diminish Sephiroth's Mana. "That won't work. I posses infinite Mana" Sephiroth laughed. "Eidolon Phoenix. Come to our aid !" Garnet summoned an Eidolon.
Fiery bird pass above them, its fiery feathers showers upon them. Phoenix Feather is known for its revival power. At same time, it also inflicts damage on Sephiroth.
"There's a dangerous spell. But it could useful against him" Vivi spoken. "So cast it !" Eiko demanded. "It could kill us as well as Sephiroth". "Well, do you see any other way to defeat him". "Don't do it" Ramza protested. "Ramza ?!". "That magic would be our last reserve. Don't cast it until you must to, Vivi". "I understand" Vivi nods his head.
Meanwhile at Lindblum.
"Queen Brahne, all of Alexandria citizen has been evacuated" Artania spoken. "I know Vivi would disagree with this. But we have to slow down the meteor. Are the black Mages ready ?" Queen Brahne shifted to her best pilot, Gabiani. "Yes my queen" Gabiani bows slightly. "Good. Order them to cast Firaga, focus it on a single mage then fire at the meteor". "As you wish my queen".
Fifty Black Mages stands ready in circle formation. One of them stands in the center of the circle. They began to gather energy.
After few minutes, all of the black mages accumulated enough power then focus it on a Black Mage on the center. "Mega Firaga !!!". An arrow shaped fire projectile launched toward the meteor. It also destroys all of the standing mages.
"Nothing would stand against that" Queen Brahne said proudly. "(Gwok) Perhaps..." Regent Cid sighed, hoping for the best. As the Fire Arrow struck the meteor, it explodes brightly with blinding lights.
"Bulls eye !" Queen Brahne cheered. Everyone looked at the meteor while hoping that Queen Brahne's plan worked. Unfortunately, it didn't work at all. The meteor is still intact. "It didn't work....." Artania sighed. ".... Send the Sovereign Of The Skies. Send it to Lifa Tree" Queen Brahne ordered her pilot. "Yes my queen".
Back to Deep Crater.
Our heroes are all battered, Sephiroth is still strong.
"Curaga !" Eiko cast a spell to restore their condition. "You could end this and leave me with my plan. Accept me as your god and I'll stop my meteor" Sephiroth spoken. "In your dreams !" Zidane shouted. "Stubborn.... Perhaps you need more examples. S U P E R N O V A !" After finished recites his spell, Sephiroth disappeared. All of them teleported into a strange planet.
"This looks like earth" Ramza examined his surroundings. He saw something streaked in the sky. It destroy everything on its path, planet, stars, asteroids, everything. "A meteor ?" Zidane guessed. "Where did it go ?". The meteor did not go to the place they stand, it passed the planet. "No..... It can't be...... If that meteor struck the sun, entire system will goes supernova" Garnet said.
The sun explodes as the meteor struck it. It swell larger and engulf everything on its path, including the planet they on.
All of them are fatally wounded. "LIMIT BREAK O M N I S L A S H !!!" In desperation, Ramza unleash his final Limit Break. "Omnislash ?!?!" Sephiroth shocked.
Ramza delivers heavy slashes and hacks as if never ends. "LIMIT BREAK LIONHEART !!" Zidane rushes toward Sephiroth. He also delivers heavy slashes, stronger than Ramza's.
The Ultima Sword began to glow. Every slash makes it glows brighter than before. Ramza deliver an explosive blows with his Ultima Sword.
After the two mega attacks, Sephiroth began to disintegrate. Everything returned to normal.
"Most impressive" Sephiroth appeared, this time the real one. "He's not dead ?!" Zidane said. "I'll not die that easy". "EASY ?!?!. YOU CALL THAT EASY ?!?!". "Calm down Zidane" Garnet said.
"What now Sephiroth ?" Ramza asked. "A final battle. One on one" Sephiroth draw his Masamune blade. "I'll do it" Freya draw her spear. "No..... I'll face him" Ramza step forward with Ultima Sword in his hand, facing Sephiroth. "Just as I expected. I'll have my revenge" Sephiroth take his stance. "Revenge ?".
"Yes. You Ramza. You're the ancestor of my sworn enemy, Cloud Striffe" Sephiroth explained. "So, this is a battle between generation". "Precisely" Sephiroth strike first with fast low slash. Even with the large Ultima Sword, Ramza is fast. He jump backward, avoid the deadly blade. Sephiroth creates a barrier which prevent anyone to interfere their ferocious fight.
The two warrior circles few times, waiting for an unspoken signal. Ramza deliver a mid-thrust which Sephiroth easily parried. But that's not his intention, his feet swipes Sephiroth out of balance. He leaped high then dive into Sephiroth with his menacing sword. Fortunately, Sephiroth is fast enough to roll out of the danger.
"Not bad, not bad at all" Sephiroth change his stance to close Ramza's stance. "Doom of the planet. Crush Punch !" As Ramza finished reciting his SwordSkill, the ground below Sephiroth erupted.
Sephiroth was a skilled fighter, but the SwordSkill is still unfamiliar to him. He was never prepared for such attack. It took him a short time to recover. Sephiroth launch a wild counter attack. Even with armor plating, Sephiroth's stab slightly cut Ramza's waist. "How do you like my Armor Break ?" Sephiroth asked, terrorizing his opponent mental. "Pretty good. Hellcry Punch !!" Ramza countered with another SwordSkill. Hellcry Punch is effective against weapon, it could destroy any weapon easily. But not Masamune.
The two fighters keep on trading blows. Their skill is about equal. Ramza with the advantages of power and combinations of attack. Sephiroth with the advantages of speed and reach. Not only once they unleash their Limit Breaks. This is a truly duel of fates.
Bruised, battered and wounded. Both Sephiroth and Ramza paused for awhile. They both know that this must be ended soon before no one is strong enough to continue the fight. The two rushes toward each other for the final determining blow.
To be continued. Stay tuned for the last chapter: Aftermath.
