Ch. 14 - The Final Battle
Sephiroth **Walking back to Kinie and the others. ** Jeez, man! That thing weighed a ton! I could barely swing it!
Kinie: What are you talking about? **Walks over, and picks up the hammer with no trouble.** This doesn't weigh much at all!
Sephiroth: **Bugged out eyes**
Kinie: **Pushes button on the hammer, and it pops back into its capsule form, and lands in his open shoulder bag.** Okay then, after the final boss, I say we party like there's no tomorrow! **begins walking away**
Azi and the others: Yay! We're gonna have a party, we're gonna have a party! **Follow Kinie.**
Sephiroth: He can't be human. **follows after Kinie and the others.**
A few minutes pass with nothing happening, except for the sky darkening up.
Kinie: **Looking at the sky** It's really getting cloudy.
Azi: I hope it doesn't rain.
Several booms of thunder occur, and suddenly, a lightning bolt lands only a few feet in from of them. There's a bright flash, and when it fades, there is a person standing right where the bolt hit the ground. That person is wearing a black robe, and the hood is covering their face.
Kinie: **Stepping up** Mr. Bad Guy, I presume?
Person: You are partially right, Kinie. I am indeed the "bad guy", but you should call me. **Removes the cloak.** Misses Bad Girl.
After she removes the cloak, she is a very beautiful girl. She has shoulder length silver hair, Amazonian-like armor, and a weird sword at her side.
All 6: WHAT? **Chibi suprised face fault**
Girl: Surprised? You should be. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get loyal followers when you are female?
Azi: Really hard?
Kinie: **Bonks Azi on the head** You baka! That wasn't a real question!
Azi: **Rubbing back of head** Gomen.
Girl: Hello! Super evil bad woman trying to take over and/or blow up the universe here!
Kinie: Oh. Sorry.
Girl: Well, Kinie. Are you ready to die?
Kinie: Almost. Mind if I ask a few questions first?
Girl: Ask away.
Kinie: First question is, what is your name. And the second question is, how do you know our names?
Girl: Well, my name is Lucia, and I'm as old as you are. And, to answer your second question, I read your thoughts.
Azi: What? You're a mind reader?
Lucia: I wasn't finished speaking! Anyway, I can only read your thoughts, and, for those with weak minds, I can temporarily take control of them.
Mike: Well, why can't you read our minds?
Lucia: The brain is a very complex structure of electrons and. **Continues on explaining this for about 15 minutes** . and that's why I can only read your thoughts.
Kinie: **Staring at Lucia's chest** Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Lucia: Stop staring at me, you pervert! **Slaps him** Anyway, are you ready now? **Unsheathes her sword. Her sword is a black katana, with black demon wings separating the blade from the hilt, and a red jewel in the hilt.**
Kinie: **Looking at the sword** Is that what I think it is?
Lucia: Yes, Kinie. This sword is the Demon Edge.
Andy: Demon Edge? Never heard of it.
Kinie: As you most likely wouldn't have. It was made long ago, before all of you were born. It is a weapon of massive evil, made in equal strength to its brother. **Reaches into his shoulder bag**
Lucia: You mean.
Kinie: Yes. **Pulls out a small pendant sword that looks like the Demon Edge, except it has got white angel wings, and a green jewel instead of a red one.** I have it's brother.
Azi: But. That's a pendant!
Kinie: Looks can be deceiving, my female friend. **Holds the pendant like a sword, and slashes the air with it. As he slashes, the pendant glows, and it grows out into the exact same size and shape of the Demon Edge, but still with the white angel wings and green jewel.**
Lucia: Well, well, Kinie. You never cease to amaze me. Shall we get this started?
Kinie: Yes.
Both enter a sword stance. Suddenly, they both disappear. Shortly after that, several different pieces of buildings break off and fall to the ground.
Azi: Wow! They're moving so fast that I can barely see them! **Takes out a digital video camera** I'd better get this on tape!
Andy: You know, I just noticed something.
Sephiroth: What did you notice?
Andy: That Angel Edge sword that Kinie has, it isn't a reverse-blade sword. It's a real, normal sword.
Alex: Yeah, so?
Andy: Didn't he promise himself that he would never kill a human being?
Azi: Don't worry! Kinie will exercise his self-control to make sure he doesn't kill Lucia!
Sephiroth: Hey, umm. **Points to a red light several meters away from them** What is that light?
Azi: Kinie's using his Ryu-Korosu Slash!
The red light flies forward, and hits something invisible. The red light gets knocked back, and flies directly into a building, making it collapse.
Azi: Kinie! Are you OK?
Kinie: **Emerging from the rubble** Yeah, I'm OK! She's tough, though! Real tough! **Disappears again.**
Several minutes pass, and by this time, all of the surrounding buildings are turned to rubble.
Mike: If they keep this up, they're both going to destroy the whole city!
Several feet in the air, a dark light shines out.
Sephiroth: What's that? **Points to the light**
Azi: Wow! That's the second technique of the Ryu-Korosu style, the Akurei Beam!
The light glows brighter, and suddenly shoots out a large black energy beam aiming right at the ground.
Lucia: Not bad! **Reappears, and sticks her sword out. The energy beam gets absorbed into the red jewel in the hilt, and it glows a blood red color.** But not good enough!
Kinie: **Descending to the ground** Damn! I thought that would work.
As soon as Kinie lands, Lucia dashes up, and knocks Kinie back into the remains of one of the destroyed buildings.
Lucia: Now it's time for one of my techniques! Dojindo muhoy nai kanjoto.
Sephiroth: What is she saying?
Azi: It's. an incantation?
Lucia: Nai Abidami Tijoto, Chimamire Shi!
Several red beams fly out from the Demon Edge, and fly toward the rubble. As some of the rubble shifts, the red beams hit Kinie, and flash a blood red color.
Kinie: **Loud, painful screams**
Azi: Kinie!
Lucia: Don't cry for him. Chances are, because of the sheer amount of pain that move causes has killed him.
Sephiroth: I highly doubt he's dead.
Lucia: And why do you say that?
Sephiroth: Because he's standing u right now, and he looks super pissed.
Lucia: What?
There, in the rubble, is Kinie standing up. He's got a lot of cuts on his body, and there is a lot of blood on his arms, legs, and chest. Also, he looks like some sort of near-death trance, with only the white in his eyes showing. And, the green jewel in the Angel Edge is slowly glowing brighter.
Lucia: How can he be standing after that?
Kinie slowly starts to glow gold light, and that green light from the Angel Edge has turned all white.
Lucia: The sword is giving him power! Fine then, if it wants to end the battle this way, then so be it!
The red jewel in the Demon Edge begins glowing a black light, and Lucia also begins to glow black light. Suddenly, both have wings shoot out of their backs. Kinie's wings are a pure snow white, while Lucia's are a jet black. Also, Kinie's wings look like angel wings, while Lucia's wings look like a demon's wing; All scaly and leather-like.
Azi: Wow! That's just too cool!
Both begin to float a few inches off the ground. Both enter a sword stance, and wait in that position.
Alex: What are they doing?
Sephiroth: They are both waiting for the other to make a move. This may take a while.
The two continue to fly upward in the air, and both are now about 15 feet in the air. Both close their eyes, and when they open again, Kinie's are glowing gold, while Lucia's are glowing a blood red.
Azi: When are they going to attack? This is getting boring.
Suddenly, Kinie flies at full speed at Lucia. Lucia sticks her sword out, and it shoots out a large black energy blast. Kinie flies right into the blast, and gets engulfed by it.
Sephiroth: No way!
Andy: There's no way Kinie can survive that!
Lucia: Rest in peace, boy!
As Lucia finishes that sentence, the blast is slowly getting divided down the middle.
Lucia: What? But, that's impossible!
Mike: How is he doing that?
Andy: I don't know!
Azi: Yeah! I knew he wasn't dead!
The blast gets divided more, and it shows Kinie, still flying toward Lucia, cutting the blast in half. He slowly gets closer to Lucia, and when he's only a few inches away from her, there's a bright flash. As the flash fades, Lucia, who had wings and was glowing black, is suddenly normal, and falls to the ground, unconcious.
Azi: Kinie. won? Yes! Kinie won! We did it, we did it, we did. Hey, where is Kinie, anyway?
Sephiroth: He's. disappeared.
Lucia slowly begins to regain consciousness. Azi and the others take out some weapons, in case she tries to fight them too.
Lucia: Oww. Hey, where am I?
Azi: **Slowly walks over to her.** Do you know who I am?
Lucia: **Looks at Azi for a moment.** No, I don't recognize you. Do I know you?
Azi: Sorta. I'll explain things on the way back to the airship. What's the last thing you remember?
Lucia: Well, I was walking home, when somebody just gave me this black katana with a red jewel in the hilt for no apparent reason. As soon as I grabbed the hilt. And that's all I can remember.
Azi: Figures. A demon spirit possessed the Demon Edge. That's probably why it's called the demon Edge.
Lucia: What are you talking about?
Azi: Nevermind. **Sticks out her hand** Come on. I'll buy you some dinner.
Lucia: Thanks. I'm pretty hungry. **Grabs Azi's hand, and gets pulled up**
Azi: It's OK, guys! She's normal now! A demon spirit in the Demon Edge possessed her! Go back to the airship, I'll be right behind you guys!
The other 5 look apprehensively at Azi, then begin walking back to the airship. As Azi helps Lucia walk, she notices a piece of paper taped onto Lucia's back.
Azi: Say. **Grabs paper off of Lucia's back** What's this?
Lucia: I dunno.
Azi: Hey, it's a note from Kinie!
Lucia: Although I don't know who Kinie is, what does it say?
Azi: It says, 'Ano horosha nozomu kaeri.'
Lucia: Which means, what?
Azi: 'The wanderer will return.'
As the two follow after the others, the scene shifts to a man walking in the middle of the field. The sun is just rising, and he is walking toward the rising sun. He reaches into his shoulder bag, and takes out a small silver chain, a pair of yellow lens sunglasses, and a gysahl green. He puts the sunglasses on, and strings the chain between two small pendants. He puts the chain around his neck, and tosses the green on the ground. A few seconds later, a chocobo appears. The man gets on the chocobo, and faces toward the sun. He motions that the chocobo move, and the chocobo begin walking in that direction.
Man: And on the morning after, one tin soldier rides away.
