"Oh no you don't!"
That was the last thing they all heard, and then there was silence. From behind, Garnet got up, gripping her rod and starring with wide eyes at the sight.
"Eiko…" She whispered softly.
Zidane, who was crying softly, turned his head away from his sister for a moment and looked to where Garnet was staring at. "Yes," He murmured softly.

Back to the front, Kuja rubbed the back of his head after he was hit by the flute. He turned around to see who had thrown it at him. Cloud took the as a chance to strike first and charged with all his might at Kuja with his sword high above his head. Kuja, realizing what Cloud was doing, held out his hand before impact and then everything froze.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!"
Cloud screamed as a great force sent him back and hit Vincent in the
process. Tifa and Beatrix ran in front of them.
"You all right Cloud?" Tifa asked not averting her eyes from Kuja.
Cloud groaned and shook his head, "Yes, I'm fine." He got up and helped Vincent up.
"Fools," Kuja stated simply.
Tifa looked up to where Eiko was and then smiled. "We might be, but you're a bigger fool than us."
Kuja's expression turned to one of confusion, "What do you mean?"
Cloud looked up as well; soon, the rest followed his gaze. Kuja finally decided to do the same. What he saw did not appeal to him at all, and all he did was stare in disgust.
"Damn." He stated softly to himself.
Eiko was…dancing! But it wasn't a normal dance; it was the dance Mog had taught her.
"She's summoning the Moogles to help us." Beatrix said.
Tifa nodded, "I've read about that dance some where in a book."
"But Tifa," Cloud started, "That dance only works in our world."
"No." Vincent stated simply, "It works here as well."
"Vampire boy's right for once!" Cid said from behind.
Vincent rolled his eyes and griped his gun, "Say goodbye Kuja."
Tifa gripped her hands to fists and got into a fighting position, "Yes Kuja, give up! I admit now, I was scared at first, but now it seems that victory is near."
Cloud held his sword in a fighting position and so did Beatrix, "Our Victory." He added. "This also means…" Beatrix continued.
"YOUR DEATH!" Eiko cried from above.
Kuja's shoulders started to shake. Tifa looked at him in confusion, was he shaking from fear? But then she his smile, was he…mocking them? "Cloud…" She whispered, "Kuja…he's acting strange."
And then he laughed.
His laughter echoed through the streets of Burmecia. Cloud, Tifa, Vincent, and Beatrix were now very confused. Eiko who had just finished the dance waited. Garnet, Cid, RedXIII, Barret, Yuffie, Cait Sith, and even Zidane all stood up and looked around as the ground started to shake.
Kuja stopped laughing.
Cloud started to laugh.
"This is the end for you Kuja! Now you will leave us all for good!" Cloud said mockingly.
"Moogles!" Cried Garnet from behind.
~*~
"I hope we're not late, kupo!" Kupo said.
"Mogki!" yelled Moodon, "You're too slow, kupo!"
"It's not my fault, kupo!" Mogki yelled back.
"I hope Miss Eiko doesn't get angry at us for being late, kupo." Kupo said.
"Oh look!" Moodon yelled again. "There they are, kupo!"
"Ready, kupo?" Mogki yelled.
"Yeah!" The Moogles all said at once.
"ATTACK!!!"
And so they did.
A huge ball of dust covered Burmecia and everyone took cover.
Everyone but Kuja of course.
Then, after all the screaming, everything went quiet as slowly, the dust blew away and Kuja was still standing!
"He's…still standing!" Tifa cried in despair. "It's almost IMPOSSIBLE to defeat him!"
"Wait!" Garnet said as she came running to the front row. "Look! He is INJURED and HURT badly, which means he has gotten weaker, I'm sure of it!"
"How do we defeat him now? He'll block all our physical and mental hits; he still has Protect and Shell." Cloud said.
Garnet gripped her rod and grinned, "I will summon an Eidolon."
"Wouldn't that kill us all?" Beatrix asked.
Garnet shook her head, "Run to a safe distance. I will scan his target and kill him."
They all nodded and ran off.
"Bahumat!" Garnet yelled out loud. "Mega Flare!"
Just as Kuja balanced himself, he heard those words and quickly turned around. Bahumat came flying from above and stood above him. Kuja's eyes widened and he backed away, but before he could get to a safe distance, Bahumat opened his mouth and a huge energy wave hit Kuja.
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Came a blood curdling scream from behind. "KUUUUUUUUUUJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
And then, silence.
