=====================================================
When I heard that Sephiroth had been sited in the world that Apollo had
taken over, I immediately headed for the world with some of the Guardians.
I had them bring Hyper Cannons so they might be able to destroy the Weapons.
Those dangerous creatures were part of what was left before my people restored
the world. Now I had to face what my people feared countless years
ago. I was surprised to see a huge island city in the middle of the
ocean. I turned to one of the Guardians stationed in the Port Town
and said, "Where did that come from?"
He looked at me and said, "I don't know, Isis. We feel
it was linked to a cave found in the mountains long ago, however, we did
not see it until today when it arose out of the ocean."
I then noticed the shear immensity of the island when the
Emerald Weapon appeared to stand just at the right size of a door on one
of the large structures. As I looked at the creature, it turned and
saw us. It started to head towards us. I turned and said, "Prepare
the Hyper Cannons. I don't want Sephiroth to succeed at what he's
doing over there."
As they set up the cannons, one of the Guardians said,
"Isis, look. The door is opening." I looked and saw a hugh
light coming from the structures door. It was openning and just by
the size of it, I had a bad feeling of what was in it.
When the door was finally openned, my worst fears were comfirmed.
It was one of the Greats, the evil creatures that were lead by the unnamable
one. I just shouted, "Some of you, run and get the people out of
this world. It is not safe here anymore." I didn't know how
this gateway to that dark dimension got onto this world, but I didn't want
to see anyone die.
It was at that time I heard a defining roar. It was
the Emerald Weapon. I then noticed that the evil creature had picked
up Sephiroth and his followers. I heard one of the Guardians say,
"This can't be good."
I had to agree, only Sephiroth's followers knew where Vet
was placed, and if we could rescue her. I watched in horror as they
were eaten by the being that held them. "Not even Sephiroth deserved
that."
One of the Guardians looked at me and said, "What is that
thing?" He must have been new.
I kept watching as the Emerald Weapon started to attack it.
"It is a being know as Cthulhu. It sometimes works for its unnamable
one, but sometimes it works on its own. Right now, it's not helping
us, it's helping itself." The second it came out that door, I knew
that it would try to take our world.
Eventually the Emerald Weapon exploded. I watched as
all of the other weapons came out of nowhere, feeling the death of their
fellow Weapon. I heard one of the Guardians say, "Should we attack?"
I kept watching the scene as the other three weapons kept
attacking. "Not yet, I hope that the Weapons can drive the Great
One back. If not, we have one recourse." I didn't want to do
it, but we had only one option. If that evil being survived, we had
to remove the connect of this world to the Celestrial World. I knew
that it was the only option, an option I used once before.
The battle lasted for a few hours, and I was growing scared,
two of the Weapons had been destoried, and one remained. The Great
One looked like it wasn't harmed at all. The only Weapon that was
left was the Diamond Weapon. As I watched the battle, I heard one
of the Guardians say, "Isis, we've found all the people, and are getting
them to the Celestrial World. Is there any chance that we don't have
to do what we are preparing to do?"
I honestly didn't know if I could answer that. I watched
and said, "I hope so, but I fear that we have no choice." My words
were cut short by an explosion. We all look out to the island and
saw that the Diamond Weapon had been destroied. I saw the Great One
look in our direction and the huge figure started to walk in our direction.
"How long until everyone is out of here?"
The lead Guardian said, "About another 15 minutes."
I feared that it wouldn't be enough time.
I started to cast Flare blasts at the Great One and said,
"Then start firing the Hyper cannons. We need to keep that thing
from reaching the mainland." My command was followed by the sound
of all the Hyper Cannons we had brought being fired at once. The
combination of all the blasts caused a good deal of damage, and our foe
stopped to regenerate.
As we continued, one of the Guardians said, "Isis, the Hyper
Cannons were only made to handle three blasts. Can we last long enough?"
It was a question that I didn't have an answer to. I didn't know
how long the regeneration would last. I also knew that the time to
set up one Hyper Cannon would be a major problem.
I looked out as I fired another Flare blast and said, "I
hope so, and if not, I hope we have a miracle to save us all."
Another Guardian looked up and said, "Look at that, another
beam of light." I looked and saw that the beam appeared again, but
this time I noticed that it wasn't coming from the building, but from the
mountains, and it was pulling the Great back into the door way. I
heard it's hideous noises of anguish and protest, but the beam was too
powerful for it to fight.
As it was being pulled back into the doorway, I just said,
"Maybe we got our miracle." I wondered who or what was up there doing
this. The beam did its work slowly, but it was getting the job done.
I looked at the Guardians and said, "Just be ready in case it stops."
As time passed, we were all overjoied as the Great was pulled
into the door and it closed, but the beam continued. Then one of
the Guardians said, "Isis, the island is sinking." I watched to see
that he was right. The island was slowly sinking back into the ocean.
I felt somewhat comforted by this turn of events. It meant that this
part of the world was safe for the time being. I just didn't trust
that this wouldn't happen again.
When the island had finally submerged, the lead Guardian
asked, "Isis, should we continue the evacuation."
I nodded and said, "Yes, but we won't sever this world off
yet. I just want Guardians here to monitor what is happening.
If that Island arises again, this world must be abandoned." They
nodded acknowledging my orders and started to prepare an observation area.
I started to walk back to the Pillar when I saw something shining in the
mountain base. I motioned for a Guardian to join me and we headed
over there.
When we reached the rock wall, the Guardian said, "Oh no.
A Crystoid, how did one get here?"
I then noticed that it wasn't a Crystoid. "That's not
a Crystoid, it's Lena. She must have done something to stop what
was happening out there." I worked to get her unconscious form out
of the crack.
The Guardian said, "Maybe she released it. She does
appear to be a Crystoid." I leered at him, and he stepped back.
Lena wasn't a Crystoid, and she'd never do anything to hurt our world or
any of us.
When I got her out of the crack, I turned to the Guardian
and said, "Pass the word that the weapons are gone, and tell Li that Lena
is with me at the temple. I'm going to see if I can help her recover."
With that, I left for the Celestrial Temple.
