The Final Fantasy Showdown: Let's Begin This!

Chapter 2

Disclaimer! Folks, I own none of the Final Fantasy Series. I do not own Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, or Final Fantasy IX. I also do not own the Yoroiden Samurai Troopers. I just used them to make up a fun story that I feel everyone will like. Please don't try to sue me because I do not have any money to give you.

Author's note: This chapter puts five of the most controversial girls in the same area. Don't expect any brutal bashing of ANY of the characters, but for the sake of keeping a fight going, there will be some. Flame me for it and I'll just flame you right back. Now that that's out of the way, enjoy!

"Hey! We're back! I'm Hashiba Touma…"

"And I'm Shu Rei Fuan! Last time, Cloud and Squall fought each other and knocked each other out. What will come for us today?"

"Let's take you to the floor where Nasuti will be introducing the next competitors."

"Hi! I'm Nasuti. I don't much agree to fighting, but since they're really eager, I guess we'll just let them go! First, let me introduce you to Rinoa Heartilly and Quistis Trepe!" Rinoa waves to the crowd. Quistis walks focused to the center. "How are you two doing?"

"Oh, I'm great, Nasuti. Finally, a place where I won't be hounded for the way I act."

"Rinoa, I'm not trying to be rude, but this is a place where all of us are hounded for our actions. Of course, some of us aren't as hounded as others…" Nasuti begins to giggle lightly to herself.

"No offense, Nasuti, but they are nowhere near as troubled as you are," Touma announces over the loudspeaker. "Just continue."

"Jerk," Nasuti mutters. "Next," her voice picks up, "we have Aeris Gainsborough and Tifa Lockheart!" Aeris and Tifa happily walk up to the center.

"How'd they bring you back?" Tifa asks.

"I don't know. A representative from the Lifestream just said that I shouldn't have died and that I'm way too important to be stuck down there."

"Wow. Do you know who it was?"

"No, but he said something about sending Zach back later, but that I was more important for the moment."

"What does…"

"Girls," Nasuti interrupts, "I hate to stop you now, but I have to be at the hairdressers soon and would really like for you to get this over with."

"Wow. Can we come with you?"

"Sure. Why not."

Ryo stands up from his director's chair. "NASUTI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" he blares from his megaphone.

"Sorry!" She waves at Ryo, who hits his head with the palm of his hand. "Okay, there aren't really any rules like that last match."

"Good. I could barely keep up with what was being disabled." Quistis unwraps her whip, Save the Queen, from around her neck. Rinoa, in turn, checks her Shooting Star.

"Oh, I'm so ready for this." Aeris taps her Princess Guard. "Aren't you glad you kept this thing?"

"Yeah." Tifa laces up her Premium Heart.

"You all look ready. I won't stand in your way. And I don't really care what your do, since there aren't any handicaps." Jun runs out and hands Nasuti a sheet of paper. "Oh, there are handicaps." The fighters moan. "These last throughout the entire match. First, Aeris. You cannot use Great Gospel or Planet Protector." Aeris' jaw drops. "Tifa cannot use Knights of Round." Tifa snaps her fingers in anger. "Rinoa, you cannot use Invincible Moon." Rinoa shrugs. "Quistis, you cannot use Shockwave Pulsar." Quistis fumes in indignation. "What can I say. That's life. Well, that's all. You can fight now." Nasuti leaves.

"Let's just get this over with, Rinoa, so you can get back to Squall and I can get back to working." Rinoa nods at Quistis' suggestion.

"Look at those military girls, Aeris. So snobbish, I just wanna… ram my fists into their stomachs!" Before either Quistis or Rinoa could move, Tifa had already planted her fists into their abdomens. She then threw her elbows up, throwing the two stunned women onto the ground. "See? They're not so tough." Tifa turned around and began walking back towards Aeris.

"Look out!" Aeris yelled, but it was too late. Quistis' whip had latched itself onto Tifa's leg, and now Quistis was standing up.

"Why would you turn your back to me?" She yanked on the whip, dropping Tifa to the ground.

"And you should worry about yourself!" Rinoa shot her Shooting Star at Aeris, slicing her left arm.

"OW! That's sharp!"

"Duh, stupid. Angelo, where are you?" Angelo runs out. "There's a good boy. Wanna treat?" The dog wagged his tail excitedly. "Then do something for me." Angelo barked twice before turning around and digging into the ground. "Angelo?" Ten seconds later, Angelo pulls up with a potion. "That's not what I wanted, but you did do something. Here's your treat." She tossed the fabricated bone to her faithful dog, who walked away chewing. "Damn dog. Can't ever get me what I want." She turns just as Aeris' staff connects with Rinoa's head.

"I'm supposed to be worried about YOU? Look who's on the ground." Aeris raised her staff. "Seal…Evil!" Her spell bounced off Rinoa. "What?"

"You're trying to silence a sorceress? Bad move. Tornado!" A huge gust of wind picked Aeris up off the ground.

"What's with that short dress anyway? It's not practical," Quistis remarked to Tifa. "You need to become more," she flicked the whip, throwing Tifa off the ground and back down, "prepared," she repeated the attack, "before," again, "fighting," and again, "me!" With that, she viciously pulled Tifa towards her, then caught her and threw her to the ground. "Micro Missiles!" The ballistic attack reduced Tifa's hit points of 7832 by half to 3916.

"You! Beat Rush!" She punches Quistis three times. "Somersault!" He back-flip kicked Quistis. "Water kick!" She swept Quistis off her feet. "Meteo Drive!" She spun Quistis on her fist before casually raising her to the sky and dropping her. "Dolphin Blow!" A dolphin and her uppercut send Quistis reeling. "Meteor Strike!" She grabbed the SeeD, jumped into the air, then dropped to the ground. "Final Heaven!" All of Tifa's energy pooled into her right fist, then she viciously drove it into Quistis' chest. Tifa cheered as Quistis was blown back. "Stupid girl! Why'd you make me mad? Aqualung!" The large water bubbles floated over to Quistis and burst, docking Quistis' energy to 7500.

As the tornado died down, Rinoa ran over to Quistis. "Are you okay?"

Quistis mumbled, "White Wind." Both she and Rinoa were cured. The tone in Quistis' voice hinted that she was through playing. "Okay, you dumb bitches, my whip is going to be your new master. Cloud will be a thing of the past when I'm done."

Aeris blushed. "You're almost as bad as Cid Highwind."

"Think I care. Bad Breath." Smog filled the area.

"That's not going to affect us! We're from the filthy city Midgar. Nothing will stand in our way…what's happening to us?"

"Bad Breath does something you don't know about…Vitality Zero. You can't block anything we throw at you. Rinoa."

"Angelo!" Her dog trotted up. "Angelo Strike." She just waves the dog on, not caring who he attacks.

Angelo looked at each of the girls, then ran towards Aeris. Aeris, however, wasn't having any of it. "Seal…Evil!" She dropped her staff just as Angelo began to jump. Angelo landed harmlessly on the ground, completely stopped. She swung her staff, knocking Angelo away from her. "Dumb dog. Didn't want to play with you."

"White Wind!" Tifa heals herself back to 7832 hit points and Aeris to 6240 hit points. "Let's double team 'em."

Rinoa turns to Quistis. "We could get them on that Cloud thing. You know they both have a thing on him."

"Let's try. What have you got?"

"Just follow my lead. Can't believe you two would be fighting alongside each other, especially after what Tifa did with Cloud."

Aeris stopped. "What?"

"Yeah. She screwed him hard." Quistis turned red, along with Aeris and Tifa.

"What?!"

"Just before they went to Northern Crater! They thought they were alone, and Tifa seduced him!"

"Did you?"

"Well…"

"Wanna hear about it? Fine. They first did…"

"That's enough! I don't wanna hear it!" She swung the Princess Guard into Tifa's stomach. "YOU WHORE! I can't believe you! Couldn't even wait until I was completely gone, could you?" Quistis moved closer to the two.

"Aeris…" Rinoa stepped up.

"I don't wanna hear it!" She targeted Tifa's head with the staff. "I trusted you! Confided in you! And you couldn't wait until I was gone!" Both FF8 characters snaked forward.

"We weren't sure if it was our last night!"

"And?" Aeris beat her staff onto Tifa's backside. "I told all of you that I had taken care of it!" Before anyone could move, the Princess Guard knocked both the Shooting Star and the Save the Queen out of the hands of their respective owners. The staff then cracked the heads of the two unfortunate would-be attackers. "And I took care of it again."

"That hurt."

"Pulse of Life." Both Aeris and Tifa were healed. "Does that help?"

"Yeah." Tifa cracked her knuckles. "You two are dead. Bahamut ZERO."

Quistis sat up. "What's so great about a Bahamut?" If only she knew Bahamut ZERO was linked to both Quadra-Magic and a W-Summon.

Bahamut ZERO floated above the Earth. "I am Bahamut ZERO. Never underestimate me." As he charged up, Quistis had a feeling neither she nor Rinoa would be getting up after he was done. She was right. Eight straight attacks wiped out the two.

Nasuti looked around cautiously before stepping out. "The winners are Aeris and Tifa!" The winners jumped around in glee. "Now, let's go to the hairdressers." The three walked out.

Cloud met them as they walked out. "Can I come with you?"

"Oh, Cloud, silly, we're going to the hairdressers," Aeris responded.

Cloud threw his hands into the air. "Never mind. I have no intention of cross-dressing again." He quickly walked off before the girls could concoct a scheme.

Touma cursed inwardly. "Nasuti didn't even bother to revive the other girls."

"I've got it," Squall called out. He walked over and revived the two women. He held Rinoa. "Are you okay?"

"I was going to show you. I can fight too."

"It's alright."

"What went wrong?"

"Aeris read you. She knew it was coming up."

"But…"

"She probably read it in the Lifestream."

"Oh."

"Come on, let's go." Squall picked up Rinoa and carried her off.

Quistis stood up and shrugged before walking off.

"There you have it, folks," Touma began.

"Rinoa and Quistis thought they had everything in their corner, but the tables were turned as their own plan backfired." Shu grinned. "What awaits us next time?"

"I have no idea," Touma moaned. "Just wait for us. We'll be back."

End notes: Not exactly what I had guessed. Oh well.
