"Is that you, Freya?" asked a Cleyrian (look like a Burmecian) nun.
"Yes."
"My lady, the King of Burmecia has been awaiting you. You will find him in the cathedral." said the nun.
Everyone followed Freya up several stairs and bridges, until they were standing in front of the cathedral. "You guys wait here. The King most likely wants to talk to me alone." said Freya, entering the cathedral.
So they all sat down on the ground, waiting. "What a pretty clear blue sky." said Rai.
"Yea." agreed Zidane. "Wait! Clear blue sky!? What happened to the sandstorm!?" cried Zidane all of a sudden.
"Must've gone away." said Rai.
"Rai, the sandstorm of Cleyra has been here for centuries. It's not supposed to go away." said Zidane.
Everyone quickly sat up, as a Cleyrian woman ran up to them screaming, "Pointy-hatted demons! They're everywhere!"
Then one of the "pointy-hatted demons," the black mages, came up from behind her, fired a thunderbolt at her, and stepped over her crumpled, lifeless body.
"Why you...!" said Zidane.
The black mage just stared at Zidane with a blank stare, and then it yelled, "KILL!" and shot more thunderbolts at them. Zidane and company dodged, and then Zidane leaped, pulled out his large dagger, and threw it at the black mage. The mage fell to the floor in a heap.
Suddenly, the whole village was in a panic. People were running around everywhere and screaming, and the group was scattered. It was impossible to find anyone in all this ruckus. Then someone keeled over in front of Rai, and Rai saw Scroop behind the fallen Celeyrian. "Damn! Not you again!" Rai ran, pushing people aside, as he heard the heavy breathing of Scroop close behind him. He ran into the cathedral, slammed the doors, and barred them by placing a long piece of metal in the handles. He turned around to see the whole group safe inside. "Whew! I'm glad you guys are safe in here. That crazy spider is in the city!"
"What! How'd he get up here?" said Donald.
"Didn't you see him walk on the ceiling in the caves before? But anyways, where did all these black mages come from, and why are they attacking the city?" said Rai.
"It's that Brahne. I just know it." said Freya.
"Freya! What are we to do!?" cried the King of Burmecia.
Just then the priest, who had been standing over by a large harp with a special stone in it cried out. There was Beatrix, sword pointed at the priest. "Eeeek! Have mercy!" cried the High Priest.
"Hmph! Pathetic rodents! You fail to grasp the true power of this jewel!" said Beatrix, grasping the stone from that was from the harp.
"Our magic stone!" said the High Priest.
"Now that I have this jewel, I am through with your city!" said Beatrix.
"Wait!" yelled Zidane as Beatix ran out the door.
"Halt, villain!" cried Freya.
They chased her outside, and all the people running around were now gone.
"Think you can get away?" said Zidane.
"Get away? Hahaha. You're a bigger fool than I imagined... Have you forgotten how badly I beat you back in Burmecia?" mocked Beatrix.
"So, you are more the fool for not finishing what you started!" said Freya in reply.
"You're gonna pay!" yelled Vivi.
"I find no tasties in this town, so we cook you for breakfast!" said Quina, pulling out it's fork.
"Then allow me to shatter your delusions of grandeur." said Beatrix. The others tried to attack, but she blocked them all yet again, and then she again cried "Stock Break!" and slashed them all. They sank to the ground, weak like before in Burmecia.
"She's t-too powerful..." said Rai weakly.
"Black mages, our work here is done. Commence withdrawal immediately!" said Beatrix. A black mage came up to her, formed a magic bubble above him, and disappeared into it. Beatrix jumped into the bubble as well, and it zoomed up towards a ship that was now overhead, Queen Brahne's Red Rose.
"Hey, they disappeared! What now, Freya?" said Zidane.
"Yea, what now?" said Donald.
"Good question... Zidane! Look out behind you!" cried Freya, pointing to a black mage approaching Zidane from behind. But the black mage did the same as the other, the bubble thing.
"There! I'm gonna follow 'em! Everyone follow me!" said Zidane as he leaped into the bubble and it spun away up towards the ship.
"Zidane! He's gone!" cried Vivi.
Another black mage approached. "I highly doubt I will ever return to this place... Besides, this may be your last chance to find the truth about who you are... Come, Vivi. Show us your courage!" said Freya, leaping into the bubble. She spun away, up towards the ship.
"Oh no... Freya's gone, too!" cried Vivi even louder.
Another black mage came and 'bubbled,' and Vivi jumped in, spinning up to the ship.
"I no like heights..." said Quina. Quina ran down and somehow managed to escape Cleyra.
But, no one saw Scroop and Myes hitch a ride with the last black mage that came up after Quina had left. "I'm coming, boy." said Scroop
Now Queen Brahne is seen in her ship, holding 'dark matter,' the energy that Zorn and Thorn had taken from Garnet. "It's time... Without her summoning powers, Garnet is helpless. With this Dark Matter, I now hold the power to summon an eidolon. Now, I'll find out if Kuja's claims are true. Odin, come to me!!!" cried the fat Queen.
Suddenly, the sky became blood red, and a huge rider and horseman appeared. They rode down towards Cleyra, and then the rider hurled a spear at Cleyra. The city and tree exploded into a firy mass. Then the rider, Odin, and his horse disappeared into the sky. Brahne was smiling with glee.
"Cleyra...the King...Quina... They're all gone..." said Vivi quietly (he didn't know Quina had gotten away).
