[Chapter 25: Ultimate Showdown Part 2]





Vincent charged at full speed. Concentrating on his new target, Chaos Zero, he pierced the beast through his stomach, letting blood ooze from the wound and on to his sword.

The beast howled, yet did not move. "So you think your stupid sword can kill me? Well, think again!!" Chaos Zero raised his fist and struck a mighty blow to Vincent.

The shield protecting Vincent took most of the blow, but gave way after the rest, causing him to fly backwards in pain.

Vincent lie on the ground, clutching at his side in pain.

**Show no fear, use courage!** Chaos rooted him on.

Vincent remembered Yuffie's words and got to his feet, holding his sword in position for the next strike.

*The sword doesn't even inflict damage to him!*

**Hmmm...**

"You worthless human! I'll show you real powers from the Underworld, and from Hell!!" Chaos Zero raised his hands into the sky. "Oblivion!!" he yelled.

Black portals appeared around Vincent. He was slowly being pulled by the force of darkness.

"HAHAHA!!" Chaos Zero laughed. "Just try and escape now!" Vincent tried pulling away from the portals with all his strength, yet it was useless.

**Don't give up!** Chaos yelled all throughout his mind.

Vincent was drawing near the portal's entrance. "Sorry Chaos..." Vincent let his sword fall from his grasp and on to the ground as he closed his eyes and hung his head. "...and Yuffie..."

'Vincent!' the same voice rang through his mind.

Vincent's head shot up as he pulled with all strength left in his body. Gradually, the portals were getting farther away from him as he continued pulling.



"Impossible! No one can escape Oblivion!" Chaos Zero yelled. Vincent was almost home free as Chaos Zero threw his arms in the air once again and yelled the powerful attack spell, Oblivion.

The portals became larger and stronger. They pulled with more force against Vincent as he struggled to break free.

**Come on! Even Yuffie's rooting for you!**

Vincent slowly broke free, step-by-step he pulled the Holy power within him from the evil powers. "ARGHHH!" he finally broke free of the powerful attack spell.

"No way this is happening! There's just no way!" Chaos Zero shouted. The black portals disapeared as Vincent slowly took a few steps forward, breathing heavily from using all his strength. "Holy never loses in a battle with Evil!" he shouted, picking up his sword nearby.

Chaos Zero smirked. "That's what you think!" he held out his arms in front of him, placing the base of one hand on the other and spreading out his clawed fingers.

"All Creation!!" he shouted. Vincent, having heard the oh-so familiar attack quote, froze in position.

**Get out of the way!!**

Vincent felt as though he couldn't move. The purplish, green, white, and blue power beam blasted from Chaos Zero's hands and drew near Vincent.

'Nooo!'

Vincent quickly shuffled right, avoiding any confrontation with the attack. The beam shot right past him, disapearing into the blackness.

**You about got yourself killed! What's wrong with you?!**

*........*



"Hmm, I must say, you have good dodging abilities." Chaos Zero said, dusting off his hands. "How dare you use her attack!!!" Vincent yelled out of the blue. Chaos Zero looked suprised. "Who's 'her'?"

Vincent gritted his teeth. "You know damn well who I'm talkin' about!"

"Oh who, Yuffie? Well it doesn't matter. I guess Roy forgot to tell you that I can steal attacks and learn them in seconds."

"WHAT!?" Vincent was suprised.

**I know how to defeat him now!**

*Huh? How!?*

**Remember how to finish off a demon for good? You must de-head him.**

*I don't recall learning that, but I'll give it a shot.*

Vincent readied his sword.

"Oh no, don't think you're gonna get to me that easy." Chaos Zero lifted his right-arm and spread his clawed fingers out. "Catastrophe!!" he yelled.

"Oh shit!" Vincent stepped back.

'Leviathan Cloak!'

Vincent disappeared into thin air.

Chaos Zero canceled the attack. "Wha--? Where'd he go?!" he looked all around.

*I'm...invisible?*

**Yup, guess so**

*Did Yuffie---?*

**Mmm-hmmm**



Vincent silently snuck his way around and up behind the beast. The invisiblity cloak wore off as Chaos Zero saw him in the corner of his eye.

"There you are!" he whipped around and slashed Vincent's left-arm. Vincent staggered backwards as Chaos Zero powered up for another attack.

"Leviathan Cloak!" Vincent shouted and disapeared again. "Grr...not again!" Chaos Zero looked all around. "Wait a minute! I can learn it!" Chaos Zero said prouldly. "Leviathan Cloak!" Chaos Zero remained visible. "What the hell? Come on! Leviathan Cloak!" he shouted once more. "Dammit!" he still remained visible.

"Only the Holy can learn and use it..." came Vincent's voice within the darkness. "Where are you!?" Chaos Zero searched the area. "Leviathan is Holy. Meaning only pure hearts can use it." came his voice again as he appeared several yards in front of the beast.

"Ah, so you think you've won?" Chaos Zero asked. "It's not over until it's over." all three goldish-cream colored white materia orbs began to glow in the slots of the sword. Vincent closed his eyes and chanted something softly as he raised his sword high into the air.

The materia orbs glowed even brighter as a light of gold shot from all three, connecting as one beam of light, shooting towards Chaos Zero and surrounding him in gold light.

"ARGH! WHAT IS THIS!!?" Chaos Zero began to levitate into the air.

**Vincent wait, before you cut off his head, you should cut off his right wrist so he's free of powers!**

*Should or have to?*

**Well, it'd be funny to see him not able to use his powers!**

*Chaos, this is serious! Yuffie's life is on the line! I have to hurry!*

**Hopefully the Lifestream won't take her yet...**



Vincent chanted something else. Chaos Zero fell to the ground. "Yeah, and what was that all about?!" he asked, rubbing his sore arm. "That attack won't work..." Vincent said simply. "But this one will!"

"Leviathan Cloak Supreme!!" he yelled and vanished into thin air once more. "You stupid fucker! What the hell do you think you're gonna do!?" Vincent crept slowly behind Chaos Zero, so that he wouldn't hear footsteps.

"Show me where you are! Or I'll----!!" Vincent quickly brought his blade up and executed a clean slice through Chaos Zero's neck. "AAAAAHHHRRGHH!!" Chaos Zero yelled and collapsed, de-headed and never to be seen again.

Both his head and body disappeared from sight. The whole scenery went from pure black, to back to the cave behind Lucrecia Falls. Vincent felt a strange tingle in his soul.

**Haha! Looks like I'm restored!**

Vincent nodded and looked up into the sky.

"Oh no! The sun's going down! Phoenix is leaving!!"
