A/N: Ahhhhh..... I love the number of reviews I was given and all of the great ideas. If you couldn't tell that was sarcasm. Well, to tell the truth I am a little disappointed with the amount of encouragement I'm receiving from the people who are reading the story, but I'm going to continue anyway. If anything is confusing anyone let me know and I will explain it to you in the next chapter. Now back to the story!
"Will you please help me?" a small voice asked from Reno. "I've lost something." The young us It had what looked to be hands with long, deadly claws that had to be at least a foot long. The creature's skin was the color of raw flesh and pus, but it still had the same ice blue eyes as the little girl.
Shocked, Reno stared at the space he was just a second ago. The creature's claws were imbedded into the ground. Furiously, the creature turned to Reno and charged. A train like sound came from the creature's mouth as it suddenly bolted backwards in pain. Elena smiled at her companions through the hole she had put into the creature's chest with her gun. Her smiled drifted away as the creature turned to her instead of falling as she thought it would. Rage flamed through the monster. Abandoning it's charge on Reno the creature streaked it's way toward the girl with it's eyes burning. Raising its hand the creature swiped at Elena leaving five angry blood lines and the female turk knocked into a far wall. Elena fought to get to her knees as she the creature coming to finish her off.
Rude quickly thought of the materia he has equipped. "Ice 3!" he yelled hoping to slow the creature down enough for Reno to charge up his night stick. The creature bellowed as ice cloaked it and burst into a million pieces of razors. Reno saw his chance. "Turk Light!" he screamed as a pyramid trapped the creature. He watched as the creature struggled endlessly until it passed out from lack of air. The thing would die soon. It would suffocate.
Reno turned to where Elena was and saw that Rude was already helping her to her feet.

"I told you they would defeat it easily." Aeris with a hint of a smile in her voice. She was proud that the Turks had done so well on the guardian that the Ramuh had chosen. The light elemental looked back into the seering pond and smiled as she saw Reno trying to make Elena laugh to get her mind off the pain. It seemed to be working.
"The guardian's not dead yet." replied the somber sorcerer.
"But it's going to die soon enough. Why don't you just pass Reno to the last level instead of waiting for the guardian to die?"
"The last level will be very hard for the boy. He needs to rest." he said as he bowed his head.
" The last level's the hardest for everyone, but it is your trial and things go like you want them to. I just wish that Alexander was as easy going as you are." The mage smiled and nodded.
He know how much of a perfectionist Alexander was. It was a pity that she got stuck with him. Madian would have liked her better.
All right i'm leaving it right there. Now i'm begging you people to Review my fic. Please!
