1 CHAPTER 4

"Julia!" Laguna called.

"Laguna!?" Julia replied, very confused. "I thought you were killed in the war!"

"Seifer!" Zell yelled running to his friend.

"You ready for this?" Seifer asked.

"You bet," Zell replied. "Is that Laguna?"

"Yeah, how do you know him?"

"Before Squall and all of us went into the Time Compressed world we met him in Esthar."

"Julia I thought you were dead," Laguna said. "It is recorded that you have died, what are you doing here."

"Laguna let me explain. Ten years ago, I went into the Time Compressed World, and I disappeared from this world. That's why I was thought to be dead. I came to the Centra Ruins in the Time Compressed World, and I found Ruby WEAPON there. The WEAPON brought me back to this world with the help of it's brothers, Emerald, Ultimate, and Diamond WEAPON. They are all still on this earth. I have never left the Centra Ruins since. I have been guarded by Ruby WEAPON," Julia said.

"Oh, sorry, but we killed the Emerald WEAPON on our way here," John blurted.

"Then Ruby WEAPON will have no forgiveness for you," Julia smirked.

"Julia don't do this!" Laguna shouted.

"If you do kill Ruby WEAPON, you will still have Ultimate WEAPON and Diamond WEAPON to deal with. This WEAPON has saved my life, and I will fight for its own life now."

"Julia, what happened?" Laguna asked sadly. "But please, what was the name of the song you sang after me?"

"Eyes on me," Julia replied.



The Elite force got right to work on the WEAPON. They were somewhat no match for it though. Tom's bullets were useless against it, and Julia and Tina's weak weapons had no effect. Will and Zell's weapons were not strong enough for such an enemy. Adam and John did pretty good dodging and slashing the WEAPON, but not enough to kill him.

Seifer focused on all the summons in his Gunblade. He let them all loose. He let hell break out.

Shiva, Ifrit, Cactuar, Leviathan, Pandemona, Quezacotl, Siren, Brothers, Diablos, Carbuncle, Cerberus, Alexander, Doomtrain, Bahamut, Tonberry King, and the incredible Eden rose up from the ground around the Centra Ruins.

Bahamut and Diablos started going right to work on Ruby WEAPON. Siren took away all its magic, and Carbuncle casted reflect on the elite team. Cactuar, Doomtrain, and the rest of the summons tried to knock the WEAPON over. They succeeded.

The WEAPON fell off of the Centra ruins onto the desert. The summons jumped off of the WEAPON, and Eden came up to the WEAPON and crushed it. Eden disappeared into the ground, as did the other summons.

"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!" Julia screamed.

"Julia! Come back!" Laguna yelled to his lost love.

Julia leapt off the back of the ruins to fall to her certain death.

Laguna knelt down and covered his face, trying not to cry. Seifer walked up behind him and put a hand on Laguna's shoulder.

"Don't worry Laguna," Seifer said. "She was evil now, she was with the WEAPONS, and against the world.



The squad let Laguna join them. They took off on Pandemona and headed for Balamb Garden.

In the middle of the flight Seifer's cell phone rang.

"Hello?" Seifer said.

"Seifer! How was the mission?" Squall asked on the other line.

"It was a success. No injuries or deaths. Thanks to your incredibly, remarkably, and inhumanly, awesome Gunblade."

"No problem. But we have a crisis on our hands. There is another WEAPON attacking."

"Where?" Seifer asked.

"Esthar," Squall replied…





Seifer told the team where they were headed next and Laguna was shocked.

"I have to be there! I am the president of the country. What kind of president doesn't show up for his city that is being attacked!" Laguna shouted.

"Don't worry, we will have no problem with this one. It's the Ultimate WEAPON; I will have the summons attack it again," Seifer said.

"Damn man," Will laughed. "You're like a one man army with that thing."

"I got lucky," Seifer replied.

Pandemona closed in on Esthar. Ultimate WEAPON was even larger than Ruby WEAPON and Emerald WEAPON.



The squad jumped off Pandemona as she neared the ground. Seifer closed his eyes and focused on all the summons. Ifrit, Shiva, and everybody else appeared in front of them. They shot up from the ground and headed right toward the WEAPON.

Ifrit blew a huge breath of flame at the WEAPON. Ultimate WEAPON stood in the middle of Esthar, taking all the hits. Ifrit' flames engulfed the town square, making no things better.

Quezacotl sent lightning at the WEAPON. He hurt the WEAPON immensely, but some of the shocks hit the tall building. Esthar was a very metallic place, making electricity no joke.

Ultimate WEAPON was still attacking the city, and almost half of it now was engulfed in flames.

The WEAPON ran to a different, almost untouched part of the city and started ripping the buildings apart.

Shiva came up behind the WEAPON and shot a large ice beam at it. She froze the WEAPON making him fall to the ground on top of some large buildings.

The whole battle lasted about five minutes.



Leviathan tried putting out the city with his water abilities. But it was too late when he did. Esthar was almost completely burned down.

"NO!!! Another dear thing to me lost! Kiros! Ward!" Laguna shouted.

Laguna's best friends lived in Esthar, and now they were dead.

Seifer and the rest of the team comforted him.

Seifer's cell phone rang again. He turned around to talk to whoever was calling.

"Hey Seifer," a happy voice said into the phone.

"Who's this?" Seifer asked.

"It's Quistis. Squall just told me of the victory with Ruby WEAPON. You were right, I didn't have to wish you good luck."

"Yeah we won, but Esthar is completely burned to the ground almost."

"Well, at least the threat is out of the way. I was wondering if this Friday night if we could go out to dinner to celebrate the victory."

"Just you and me?" Seifer asked.

"Yep, just you and me. Oh, Seifer, Squall wants to talk to you."

"Hey Squall," Seifer said. "We defeated the Ultimate WEAPON, Ruby WEAPON, and Emerald WEAPON. I think we have done pretty well."

"Yeah, but we have bigger problems," Squall replied.

Seifer heard Quistis scream in the background.

"What was that?" Seifer said quickly.

"Seifer, get your butt over here as fast as you can!" Squall yelled through the receiver.

"What's goin on Squall?"

"Diamond WEAPON is attacking Balamb City and Balamb Garden. I'm going to try to get Balamb Garden off the ground, please hurry, Balamb is in trouble, and if you don't get here fast enough, Quistis, SeeD, and all the other students will be too."

The line went dead; Squall had hung up on Seifer.

Seifer turned and told the team. He summoned Pandemona again, and they were all headed toward Balamb…





Seifer and the squad flew over the oceans. They saw Balamb Garden lifting off of the ground. The WEAPON seemed to be leaving the Garden alone, but he was going to town on Balamb City.

"Mom!!!" Zell yelled.

Zell's mother had lived in Balamb.

The WEAPON turned to find Pandemona zooming after him. The WEAPON used it's special attacked called Diamond Flash on Balamb, and the city was incinerated in one single circle of light.

Diamond WEAPON jumped off into the ocean and started swimming away.

"NO!!! My home!!!" Zell shouted. He fell on his knees next to the mourning Laguna.

Seifer turned Pandemona to Balamb Garden. He had his squad, all except for Zell and Laguna, jump off of the summon onto the balcony in Balamb. He told his students to tell Squall what was happening.

Seifer had Pandemona speed after the WEAPON…
