I need to stop typing.

You know what comes next.
Cupil owns all.
(In Cupil.)
Aika snored. Vyse was preparing himself for anything, even Fina dead. He cringed, hoping that part wasn't true. The thing that bothered him most was Ramirez.
"Miss your girlfriend?" The smirk.
Vyse gritted his teeth. He couldn't stop seeing Fina's worried face, scrunched up in pain. Her scream.
Aika opened an eye and peeked over at Vyse. His eyes were closed, like he was thinking. His teeth were clenched so tight she thought he would break a tooth. She called softly, "Vyse? Are you okay?"
Vyse twitched. "N-yeah."
"Vyse. You can tell me the truth."
Vyse opened his eyes. Aika was leaning in front of him, checking his face to see if he was okay.
"I'm okay. It's-the truth."
Aika sighed. "Okay. But don't blame me if you start ranting that I didn't try to help."
Vyse shrugged. "Do I ever rant?"
"Always."
VYse chuckled, then he flew in the air. So did Aika.
They both stood up. After taking deep breaths, they headed out Cupils open mouth onto the roof of a building. They watched Cupil shrink until he was back at his normal size.
"No offense, Cupil, but it was kinda freaky being inside you."
"Cu. Cupil cu!"
"Did he just say 'follow me'?"
Aika shrugged. "I guess so. Let's follow."
Cupil smiled. He floated toward a hole.
Vyse and Aika followed.
Fina's POV:
The Ray was almost finished charging. In about a minute Ramirez could fire the Ray.
"Ready to die, Fina?"
"Are you?" My voice was still mysteriously strong.
"Only if you are."
"Then I'm ready. Ready for Zelos to die." I bit my lip and glanced toward a panel in the wall. I heard a sound coming from there.
Ramirez looked at the panel, clearly puzzled. Then he looked at the meter and smiled. He pushed the button.
And the Ray hit Vyse.
My eyes widened. I saw Vyse land hard on the floor beside me. The Ray hit me and I screamed.
Vyse!
Vyse came.
He saved me.
And I'm going to die.
The pain was intense, but I wasn't screaming. My voice was too hoarse from it so all that came out was a choke.
I saw Aika slamming Ramirez with her boomerang.
I saw Vyse stir.
"Vyse."My voice was slowly gaining strength.
But how?
I was being killed.
Vyse stared at me. I knew what I looked like: Torn clothes, Hair missing and burned, bruises on my cheeks. And the Ray kept going.
It kept burning.
It kept killing me.
Suddenly I saw a shadow.
Cu cupil cu cupil-CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
"Cupil!" My voice was barely a whisper.
Cupil fell and didn't move: he wasn't built for being struck by the Ray. But neither was I.
So why wasn't I dying?
End of POV.
Vyse's POV:
I gaped at Fina.
Never was I prepared for this. She was in pain. I was in pain. It hurt a lot. But she had been struck more times than me, so I hardly knew what it felt like for her.
I saw Aika being thrown against the wall. Then I saw her boomerang shattered next to her. Ramirez got ready to use Silver Eclipse.
I got up and fiddled with Fina's bindings. She wasn't conscious. I felt the Ray on my back, burning through my clothes. But I didn't feel it.
She fell against my shoulder as I picked her up off the table. She was weak. Maybe too weak.
Ramirez raised his sword and struck us all.
I fell to the floor. Aika had blood running all over her face. And Fina.
Fina's face was covered in bruises and blood. I felt my face and felt blood.
He raised his sword again.
I dropped Fina and pulled out my cutlasses.
"Behold."
Lightning struck the blade. I threw it to Ramirez and jumped toward him.
"Pirate's Wrath!" I slashed all over him. But he didn't flinch.
He wasn't even hit.
I drew my breath as I saw Fina in a different place than where I left her.
She had saved Ramirez by jumping in the way.
End of POV.
Fina's POV:
I felt Vyse's cutlasses hit my already bruised body. I felt my blood splattering all over the room. I felt my body hitting the ground.
"Fina!" Vyse was at my side.
"Why did you-"
"Vyse.why did YOU?"
"Because he's evil!"
"No he's not. Zelos' spirit, Zelorn, has been in Ramirez' body ever since he was found inside Valua. It has been Zelorn who has been doing all the evil things. He was forcing Ramirez to be his puppet." My voice was strong. Miraculously.
Vyse breathed. He bent down and kissed me. As he pulled away, he whispered, "I'm sorry." He stared down at me as I drew in a sharp breath.
Then I thought no more.
Vyse stared at Fina in his arms, then got up. He saw Ramirez across the room, mending his broken bones beset by Aika. Vyse walked over to him and crouched.
"I'm sorry, Ramirez."
He cursed. He was still hurt. Vyse carried him over to the table. Aika gained conciousness and saw Fina. She held in a cry and followed Vyse.
He put Ramirez on the table and nodded to Aika. She nodded ack grimly and pushed the button.
The Ray began to fire at Ramirez.
Vyse covered his eyes and Aika leapt away. They saw nothing but light.
When the light dissipated, Vyse saw a fleeting silver form escape from Ramirez' body. Aika turned it off.
Vyse leaned over Ramirez. He saw him wince, then open his eyes.
"Ramirez?"
"Vyse.thank you. Thank you very much."
He coughed up blood. Vyse lifted him off the table and onto the floor.
"It's okay. You're all right now."
Ramirez looked around wildly. "What about Fina?"
"I am alright."
Aika gasped. Vyse gasped. Ramirez smiled.
"Hello, Fina."
Fina knelt down next to him and held his hand. She summoned the moons and cast Sacrulen on him. He stood up before them all.
"Thank you Vyse, Aika and Fina."
Fina smiled shyly. "I didn't do anything."
"You cured me of Aika's poison."
"HOW was I supposed to know that my weapon had poison in it?" Aika fumed.
They all laughed and Fina went over to Cupil and Cured him, too. He rose up and resumed his floating position around her head.
