"Orders from Her Majesty! Black mages, focus all your magical energy
into a single spell!" cried a senior officer from another ship in the
fleet.
"I...I can't believe it!" said Garnet in astonishment.
"Your mother isn't satisfied with just one continent! Her ugliness and stupidity are truly impressive. Ahh...everything is proceeding as I have foreseen." smiled Kuja.
"What're you talking about!?" cried Rayman.
"You're just the opening number. Time for the real show." said Kuja.
"We won't let you get away!" said Murfy.
"I can make monsters with magic! Come forth, spawn of Mist!" yelled Kuja, holding his arms up to the sky. Then, a huge creature appeared in front of him, on the same root as the group. It was a horrible creature, and it raised its head a let forth a terrible scream.
"This is bad." said Globox, quivering.
"Theere! Theere hee ees!" cried Onus, pointing down at the Iifa Tree. Onus, Scroop, Myes, and Greedy were in a small solar-boat, and Greedy, who was piloting, was desperately trying not to get hit by any of the many cannon shots coming from the Alexandrian fleet.
"Good. He's preoccupied. Greedy! When we get close enough, fire the net at the boy! He'll not escape this time." said Scroop.
Greedy expertly maneuvered the small craft towards Rai, but none the less, a cannon ball tore a hole through the solar-sail. "One more hit like that, and we're dead!" cried Greedy.
"Just get the boy!" yelled Scroop as Greedy desperately pulled up to avoid another ball, and Scroop held onto the side so as not to fall.
"Did you hear something!?" asked Donald.
"Other than the cannon-fire and the sounds of this creature!?" yelled Rai.
Then the Mistodon, as it was known, flailed around some, knocking Rai, Donald, and Goofy to a lower root.
"Rai!" cried Rayman.
"FIRE!!!" yelled someone from above.
Then Rai found himself covered in rope, a net. Donald and Goofy were also caught, and they were slowly being raised into the sky.
"We got 'em!" yelled Greedy happily.
"Good aiming." complemented Scroop.
Rai gasped. "Scroop!"
But before anyone else could say something, a cannon shot snapped the rope tying the net to the ship. "AAAHHHHHH!!!!!" yelled Rai, Donald, and Goofy as they plummeted downwards.
"NO!!! GET THEM BACK!!!" yelled Scroop.
Greedy piloted the ship downwards, still dodging the cannon fire, and was just able to catch them by going underneath them and having them fall into the ship, before they would have hit a cannon-ball.
"Now! Back to the ship!" yelled Myes.
"I do the ordering here, Myes." warned Scroop as they shot back up towards the Crusher.
"Rai!!! Rai!!!" yelled Rayman. The Mistodon was dead, and Kuja had hopped aboard his dragon and flown off towards Brahne and her fleet.
"So, two of your enemies are dukin' it out? Why not just leave 'em, and finish off the winner? My money's on Kuja." said Murfy.
"Hahaha! Foolish Brahne! Your prized cannons are useless against the spawn of Mist! Mwahaha... But even a fool like you knows that there is only one path you can take, right? Stupid elephant-lady! Why do you hesitate? Very well... I'll make the first move. I'll give you a clean target. You can't miss! Silver Dragon, descend!" said Kuja.
"Murfy's right. Let's split before we get dragged in." said Zidane.
"You know my name?" said Murfy.
"Rai... Donald... Goofy..." said Rayman.
"We can save them later. Right no..." started Zidane.
"I can't let anything happen to my mother." said Garnet.
"Dagger?" said Zidane softly.
"Zidane, I... I have to save her!" said Garnet.
"Uhh, Dagger? She extracted eidolons from you and started a war!" reminded Zidane.
"I still don't want her to die!" cried Garnet.
"But she didn't care one bit whether you lived or died! You don't have to call her mother anymore!" said Zidane.
"She's my only mother! I don't care if you don't understand!" yelled Garnet. Then she turned to Eiko. "Eiko, you said there was an eidolon imprisoned near here, right?"
"Um, yeah."
"Please! Tell me where!" cried Garnet desperately.
"It's a long way down. You see the place with lots of roots? That's it." answered Eiko.
"There. I see it." said Garnet. She then began to run towards it.
"Dagger, don't go alone!" yelled Eiko at her, running after her.
"Hehe... This is turning into quite a show." chuckled Murfy.
"Anyone can get emotional at a time like this! Give her a break! Zidane, let's go. Dagger's in danger all by herself." said Vivi.
"I didn't mean it that way..." muttered Murfy.
"Well, let's go after her." said Zidane. Then they all went after Garnet, although Rayman was still worrying about Rai.
"In sense the eidolon's power! Now... Now I can save my mother!" said Garnet. Then she though inside, "Please help me..." Then she backed away. "...No! I can't save my mother with this eidolon!"
Then the others showed up. "Dagger! What's wrong? Can't you free it?" asked Eiko.
"No, I have it. I sense it's a great eidolon. But...but..."
"I don't believe it! This is the legendary sea serpent Leviathan!" exclaimed Eiko.
"Leviathan!?" said Vivi.
"An eidolon that wipes out its enemies with a huge tidal waves!" Then Eiko thought about it, and it hit her. "I'm sorry, Dagger!"
"No, it's not your fault. But my mother's still in danger!"
"Isn't her Majesty ready yet!? All remaining ammunition was spent on that last wave of monsters! The next wave will chew us up unless we pull out now!" yelled one of the cannoneers. The ship was torn up and bruised a lot, and several of the black mages up in the front were lying lifeless.
"That is not our decision! Get back to your post, soldier!" ordered a senior officer.
Back with Brahne...
"Your Majesty, the black mages have completed their preparations." reported a Alexandrian officer.
"That insolent whelp! Now I can finish him off! Come! Draconic Seedling! Bahamut, King of Dragons!" yelled Brahne.
Then a great dragon descended from the now blood-red sky, and it blew a mass amount of fire at Kuja, who was on the ground now with his Silver Dragon. Kuja scrambled up onto the dragon as the fire hit, and they flew into the sky, although a large amount of the fire had already hit them.
"Wow... Now we can win! And Mother won't have to die! Eiko, don't you think... What's wrong?" said Garnet.
"Mog... she's terrified!" said Eiko.
"Mog? That moogle that Quina chased off? She's back?" said Zidane.
"She's been back for quite a while."
"Why is she terrified?" asked Garnet.
"Don't you know? That's the last eidolon, Bahamut, the Dragon King! He'll win for sure!" said Eiko.
Kuja touched his forehead, coming away with a bit of blood on his finger-tips. "Blood... Hahahaha... Excellent, Bahamut! Power, mobility... You are truly the best! You even hurt me...a little. And you, Brahne... Your tragic role in this drama now comes to an end! I'm sure you'll enjoy the second act from your soul's hellish prison, since the stage will be your former home! The final act will take us away from Gaia, and I will kill my nemesis...with my own hand! Hahaha! Everything is according to plan."
Then a great eye appeared in the still red sky, and it fired blue rays at Bahamut. Then Bahamut turned towards Brahne. Brahne's eyes widened in terror. Then Bahamut blew a even larger amount of fire at Brahne and her fleet, and the ships exploded into a firy mass. Kuja flew away from the grisly scene, and Bahamut dissolved back into the sky.
Now we are back with the group that is now missing Rai, Donald, and Goofy, and Zidane is thinking to himself. "I don't know why Bahamut attacked the one who summoned him. But we found Queen Brahne on the beach, next to her escape pod. She could hardly move. And I thought she'd come to a stop any second. I hate Kuja a lot. But I hate Brahne a lot, too... so much that I wanted this to happen to her. I should be happy, but... Once I saw Dagger start to cry, I didn't know how I should feel. I kind of wanted to cry, too..."
Brahne was lying on the beach, dying, and Garnet was crouching next to her. "...I...can hear...my daughter's voice." said Brahne weakly.
"Yes, Mother! I'm here! Right here..." said Garnet, tears leaking from her eyes.
"I... I am empty now... Free... Free...of that...terrible...greed..." gasped Brahne.
"Mother..."
"I haven't...felt this way...since I saw that play...with you...and your father. I led...Alexandria...down...the path...of ruin... The people...will be...happier...with you...on the throne..." said Brahne, breathing her last. Then Garnet slumped on her dead mother and cried.
"I...I can't believe it!" said Garnet in astonishment.
"Your mother isn't satisfied with just one continent! Her ugliness and stupidity are truly impressive. Ahh...everything is proceeding as I have foreseen." smiled Kuja.
"What're you talking about!?" cried Rayman.
