Chapter 10
The ships of Lindblum Navy arrived at the island.The huge fortress rose in front of them like an
ancient monster.There was still one hour left till the missiles would hit Alexandria.The soldiers
couldn't attack because of the barrier,but Vivi had gathered the black mages,his students,and they
were going to disarm the barrier with their black magic.If that would work,Beatrix and Steiner would
lead their troops inside,while Freya and Fratley would invade the highest floor,where Tengaga
probably was.It was Leon and Amarant's mission to change the direction of the missiles,if that was
possible.Zidane had stayed in Lindblum with Garnet.
"L-let's use our power!"Vivi said and they all focused their powers for a single spell,that was
supposed to rip a hole into the barrier.It was truly a massive flame bomb,that hit it effectively.
Steiner and Beatrix rushed towards the fortress,stopping at the entrance.
"We've been true worse,"Steiner said.
"For Alexandria!"
And they kissed,before kicking the door down.At the same time,Freya and Fratley climbed towards the
top and with their amazing jumping ability,it wouldn't take a long time.They stopped on top of a
statue in the wall and Fratley took Freya's hand.
"It's going to be a tough enemy,"he said.
"Not us tough as we!"Freya replied and leaped higher.
The soldiers led by Steiner and Beatrix had advanced to the higher floors without any resistance,so
Amarant and Leon went after them.
"Why am I doing this?"Amarant asked while running.
"I don't know.You have to have some reason.Mine is the legendary Tengaga sword!"
"Geez..."
In the deck of a ship,Eiko and Quina could just watch the show.
"I wonder if they'll be okay..."Eiko said.
"Me hungry."
"Argh!Is that the only thing in your mind?!"
-
-
"Zidane..."Garnet said softly.
"Oh,you're awake!"
"Please,tell me that it was a bad dream...are the missiles really reaching Alexandria?"
"Yes,but don't worry.Vivi and the others will stop the worst from happening."
Artemicion arrived in the room,holding a letter in it's hands.
"Kupo!A letter from Stilzkin to Zidane!He's at the fortress!"
"Let me see.It says:Kupo!Things are really crazy in here right now!They have gone inside the big
building.I'm going to see what's happening in there...ยด"
"Oh,dear god!Let them be alright!"Garnet prayed.
"You remember our fight against Kuja and Necron?That can't be a lot worse,"Zidane reassured.
"Kupo!I'm going back to see what's happening,kupo!"
-
-
"What the hell?I have two rats in here?"Tengaga said,when Freya and Fratley arrived.
"Villain!What reason do you have to attack Alexandria?!"
After a brief explanation:
"That happened so long ago.You have no right to disturb the Alexandrians."
"What reason do I have to listen to a rat?"
"It's a Dragoon Knight!"
"Whatever...taste this!"
Tengaga send a huge blast of energy towards Freya,who dodged it with her great reflexes.The energy
flew through the window,hitting the sea.
"Eiko,can't you do something?Like summon an eidolon?"Vivi asked while watching the battle from
the ship's deck.
"No way!It might hurt our allies.How about you?Can you help them?"
"I don't know what spell would be useful..."
"Something like an anti-magic barrier..."
"I don't know that spell.But maybe if we try together..."
Tengaga was an amazing fighter,he could block two attacks at the same time,using the both heads of
the sword.Freya and Fratley didn't have much trouble either,but his magic attacks were horrifying.
-
-
"This must be it,"Amarant said when they found the control panel in the missile room.
"Well,press something,then!"
"I think this is it.There's the map of world and a cross over Alexandria.Now I just change the
destination of the missiles to Evil Forest."
The cross moved to Evil Forest,but then the doors of the room shut down.
"Self-destruction sequence started.10 minutes left in the timer."
"Damn!"Leon cursed."We are trapped in!"
-
-
The troops were pulled back to the ships when they heard the message.It might've caused chaos,if
that would've happened at the last second,and then nobody might have gotten out.
"Heheheheh...so they tried to tamper with the missiles?How foolish,"Tengaga said.
"Grr!You coward!"
"Oh,not coward,just cautious.There's still seven minutes left...I think I'll just fly away and leave
you here...hehhee."
"What are you waiting for then?"
"What the...?I can't fly...nor use any magic."
"It's Vivi and Eiko!They've casted some sort of magic!"Fratley said.
A silence spell strengthened with Vivi's black magic had surrounded the castle.No magic could be
used.A surprise attack from Tengaga hit Fratley and he lost balance,falling down from the window.
He landed on his feet,but seemed to hurt them,because he fell down on the ground.It was Freya's turn
to get knocked out,but she was faster and leaped behind Tengaga.
5 minutes left.
-
-
"K-kupo?"Stilzkin said when it came out behind a shelf.
"Stilzkin?"Amarant wondered.
"It can get us out of here,"Leon said."It's small enough to squeeze through that little window up
there.Then it'll get us help."
-
-
"Where are you,rat?!"Tengaga shouted,annoyed by Freya's jumping around the room.
"I'm not a rat,and you hurted my darling,"she said from the shadows,before coming down and thrusting
her Dragon's Hair in Tengaga's heart.
"UUuuugggghhhhh!!"he cried,before retreating to the window.A little push,and he fell down.His flying
abilities were sealed and he wasn't a Dragoon Knight,so he just fell,hitting a statue on the wall.
His dead body still slided down from it,falling another 5 metres,stopping on the flat ground.The
sword plunged into ground.
4 minutes left,when Stilzkin arrived.
"Kupo!Those two guys are trapped inside the missile room!They can't get out,kupo!!"
"We must help them!"Eiko decided.
-
-
"I wonder...will we die here?"Leon said.
"We all die sometimes,but I don't think it's now.They'll find out some strange way to save us."
Three minutes left.
"I hope they'll find it fast."
"Yeah."
"You know,I always thought that I'd die in a battle."
"Life is a battle.It's a battle of surviving."
"Too bad we'll be dead soon.I would've bought you a drink in a bar."
Two minutes left.
"Damn.Bad luck."
"So,where is this miraculous help?"
"Maybe they decided to go for a pizza."
"Heh...but you know what?"
"What?"
One minute left.
"Say your prayers."
-
-
10 minutes later,in Lindblum:
"Mail for Zidane!"Artemicion shouted when it rushed in the guest room.
"Oh,please let them be alright..."
"Oh man!It was so exciting!I was trapped inside a room with two guys and the self-destruction timer
was ticking.So I flew outside and told the others,and they sent the Dragoon Knight and a black mage
inside and I followed them.The black mage casted a powerful spell on the door and it opened.The
knight got them all out of the building,kupo,it was amazing how she leapt on the walls.The whole
fortress exploded right when she had gotten the last person outside.Kupo!"
"They're okay!!"Garnet cried and hugged Zidane.
"I knew they would be."
-
-
And in front of the burning,collapsed fortress,Leon walked beside Tengaga's body.
"And who's the winner?"he said and picked up the sword from ground,smiling.
