As I was laying there I saw the vines coming towards me, people are right when they say your life flashes before your eyes when you're going to die, and mine wasn't a good one. Then they hit, Zidane jumped on top of me to stop the vines killing me.
When I woke up I was very grateful towards my brother for saving me, but I knew I was going to die. Zidane still had something to live for so I decided to save him. I used all of my life's energy to lift him out of the Iifa tree. "I helped you one last time, sorry for not doing it sooner…… brother." And then I died.
It was strange because I could still see and think; well I think I can see, because all I see is darkness. I walked a bit forward but still nothing. After what seemed like a couple of months of just drifting there Garland appeared in front of me. I went to attack him but I couldn't move all I could do was look. I felt helpless. "So Kuja, you fought you could hide here from me did you." Garland said.
"If I knew where here was." I replied.
Garland got annoyed at this reply at I felt pain all over my body. When it stopped Garland was just standing there laughing. All of a sudden I appeared on the Invincible. "Go and head for Alexandria, one of my angels is there." Garland told me.
I felt like telling him no but I couldn't do anything. My body moved on its own heading towards the bridge. I got the controls and headed for Alexandria. It was going to take a while since we were at the shimmering islands.
What's going on? I wonder why he can control me like this. Why can't I move myself? How can he control me and I'm still able to see and think?
I saw Alexandria coming up. I was worried because I have just saved Zidane and now I'm the one who's most likely going to kill him. "How long till we get there?" Garland said walking in.
"About 5 minutes." I replied without thinking.
I looked out of the window and saw hundreds of sliver dragons flying next to the ship. I couldn't help but to feel sad because I destroyed the city the first time and now I'm doing it a second time. A tear came out of my eye as I saw the dragons start to attack. This is it; I'm going to hate myself even more now. I wiped away the tear with the back of my hand. What. I was able to control myself. This might just work. I nodded. "We're there master Garland." I said with a smile on my face.
"Good prepare the weapon I'm going down."
I prepared the weapon, I made it look like it was powerful but it wasn't going to be that powerful, I would barely kill someone already dieing. After a while Garland came back up with blood over him. "FIRE THE WEAPON!" he yelled like he had just lost a fight.
I fired it. "Master Garland we should leave, the blast will kill us as well." I lied.
"Good well done. Yes depart."
We left and I felt happy because he wouldn't see that that blast did nothing. When we were on our way back to the shimmering islands I felt a powerful soul return to Terra. "Ah Zidane is back." Garland sounded happy.
I felt angry because I killed him, at least I didn't kill Mikoto I thought. "I'm going to greet him home." Garland said laughing.
I watched as Garland walked about. "Well this is a surprise Mikoto. Welcome home."
