ATTACK ON ALEXANDRIA

Zidane rounded the bend and a voice called out. "A little cold to be out without a coat." Zidane turned around and saw Amarant, his red hair blowing in the wind. Amarant threw the blond monkey boy a cloak and turned to face the valley. The young King turned to look in the direction his companion was. "You feel it too, don't you?" Zidane whispered. Amarant slowly nodded his head, Zidane put the greenish brown cloak on.

"What do you think it is?"

"I don't know.king.I don't know"

"Hey Vivi lets go see what's for breakfast!" Eiko shouted as she dragged Vivi out of the garden. Vivi didn't answer, he was just happy that Eiko gave up on Zidane. She has been with him almost every waking moment, but Vivi loved every minute of it. They stopped in front of the kitchen, Vivi got up and they walked into the room with good smells in it. Quina was busy cooking with the chefs of Alexandria, it turned around and noticed them. The smell of egg and ham filled the air, this just made Eiko even hungrier. "You come eat good food? Food be ready soon, go to eat table and wait." Eiko huffed and walked out to the dinning room, Garnet was already at the head of the table, the seat at her right side was for the king, and the seat to her left was for Eiko. Eiko went up and took her seat Vivi sat next to her. Then the door from the main hallway opened and Zidane walked in, Amarant not far behind. The King was still wearing the green cloak, he took his seat next to his wife. Amarant sat at the far end of the table, away from everyone else. Next to come in was Freya, she sat across from Vivi and leaned her trident up against the chair next to her. Beatrix and Steiner (A.K.A Rusty) never ate breakfast with them. So Quina brought out the food and gave it to everyone, they all started to eat hungrily. Conversations struck up all over the table, people talking about things to do that day, about things they did last nigh or yesterday. About mid-meal the giant window behind the Queen shattered and a dragon landed in the dinning hall. "Freya!" It shouted. Freya grabbed her trident and jumped into the air. The dragon reached out and grabbed her, the trident fell from Freya's hands. Zidane jumped up and pulled out his daggers. With his free hand, the dragon backhanded the King and sent him flying into the wall cracks appeared on the wall. Vivi, Eiko, and Garnet jumped out of their seats. "That's IT," they said in unison. Eiko and Vivi combined their powers to create a more powerful summon. "Ifrit Flame" the two kids said. Just then a small flame ignited and a ring of fire opened up and a giant red bull stepped out. Fire coming from its nostrils and mouth, it stood on two legs. Its arms long and powerful, twin horns protruding out of its head. Ifrit looked around, he noticed the dragon. The fire beasts claws grabbed the dragon's head and sent a bolt of fire down through it. Ifrit jumped back and a ball of fire came out of the ring and hit the dragon. Ifrit exited through the ring and all fire was gone. The enemy dragon stood burned. "How dare you interrupt our breakfast! I think its time you met my dragon, BAHAMUT!" yelled the queen Another dragon appeared, the scales on its back were as black as night. Light began to glow from its mouth, the intensity grew with each beam that went into it. Bahamut then shot it at the already scorched dragon. The winged beast fell back out of the window, Zidane slowly got up holding his ribs. He grabbed Freya's trident and jumped out of the window, followed by Garnet. Amarant is still sitting at the table eating, Vivi and Eiko just glared at him before following the King and Queen out the window. Zidane walked up to the dragon, the beast flinched, and then rose above them. It began to roar as arrows streaked through the air at him. "Reload! Second wave, fire," a female voice shouted. A second volley of arrows flew, Garnet looked back to see Beatrix. The General smiled at her Queen, her brown hair falling over her shoulders. Garnet nodded, she turned to the dragon. "Knights of Pluto, CHARGE! Kill the intruder!" Steiner yelled. Zidane glowed with a pink aura, and tranced. Garnet glowed white, followed by Eiko Vivi and Steiner. Garnet and Eiko together summoned Alexander. The rest of the group sent their energy to them to help. The sky brightened and an angel lowered from the heavens, wings spread out wide. His arms folded across a white-feathered chest, his head bowed. He began to collect energy, his hands extended and cupped out in front of him. All the energy gathered into this one spot, then Alexander released it all against his foe. "YOU DON'T BELONG HERE!" Alexander said in a low commanding voice. As the dragon began to fade it shouted, "The Grand Dragon will have his revenge!" and he was gone. Garnet healed Freya, the aura of white light mended her wounds. They all un-tranced and gathered around Freya. Just then a round ball, with twin blades on it, flew down and landed in front of them. They looked up and saw a shadowed figure on the roof.
