"GRRRAAA!!!" an ear piercing roared emitted from the crystal, sending a violent vibration through the ground. The GF's staggered about until the ground claimed down, slowly at first but stopped suddenly.
The creature started swinging it arms about in its confined space scratching away at the crystal, wanting and desiring to be free. There came sharp clawing sounding from inside the crystal that sounded like mere whispered, growing in sound as the creature kept clawing.
"I think it wants out!" Diablos shouted.
"Thank you Mr. Obvious!" Ifrit roared. The creature slammed its fist into the crystal causing a violent shake in the ground. Siren, Ifrit and Shiva collapsed to the ground, using their claws or fingers to hold onto the ground without moving about.
"I think this is what caused the shakes in the ground!" the top head stated.
"You just noticed that! You thicker than I thought! The righted head insulted.
"No fighting! Just stop this rumbling! Its hurting me!" the left head mumbled.
"Quezacolt! Diablos! Get down here and hold them down!" Leviathan shouted, flying above everyone and laying his serpent body across the GF's backs. Diablos and Quezacolt flew down and help support the fallen GFs.
"GRRRAAA!!!" suddenly the ground stop shaking, just stopped without slowly down. The GF's peered around, examining the situation before standing, making sure the ground doesn't start up again.
"Okay… now what?" Quezacolt asked, letting Siren and Shiva stand up from under his wings.
"I guess…" Shiva began saying, dusting herself off and then examining the creature inside it crystal prison. "Its up to him!" She said, staring at the creature that was staring back at them.
"What is it doing?!" Siren asked, hiding behind Diablos' wings. "Its frightening me out!" the creature eyes glowed as it peered at the GF's on the other side of the crystal, examining and studying their feature. It's press its face against the crystal, causing fog on the crystal to focus more on the GF's.
"Why is it staring?" Cerberus asked, showing its display of teethes.
"Why don't you ask?" Ifrit suggested.
"Shut up!" Cerberus snapped back, changing its display to Ifrit. Ifrit smirked and crossed its arms, showing no real interest in the three-headed dogs.
"G-GFs!" a deep and harsh voice said, sounding a bit like shouting but more claimer. The GFs paused and slowly turned to the entrapped creature.
"W-what did it say!?" Diablos asked. The creature smiled and swallowed, before smiling again.
"GFs! T-TRAPPED ME!"
"GFs trapped me?!" Cerberus repeated, not understanding the words.
"We trapped it? How?" Shiva asked, turning to her other friends. Ifrit scratched his fiery hair and sighed.
"I think whatever this thing is has lost its mind. Sad really" Ifrit stated, again scratching his head.
"I KILL YOU! IFRIT!" the creature said, sounding a bit different and familiar. Ifrit raised his head and stared blankly at the creature. Everyone also stared at the creature but then changed their view on Ifrit.
"What!?" Ifrit roared, throwing his hands about, causing the ground to shake. "I've never been killed! What the hell are you talking about!?" The creature smiled and again swallowed.
"KILLED! FAINTED! WHATEVER, STILL THE… SAME!" the creature said, sounding ever more familiar. "ONE HIT WAS ALL IT TOOK!"
Ifrit punched his fist together, causing a slight tremor. He had no idea what this creature was talking about, it sounded familiar but he couldn't put his mind on, but the way it said it. Its voice sounded very-very familiar.
"What is this thing saying?!" Ifrit thought, his eyes narrowed on the creature. "I know its familiar but why!? And its voice! I've heard that before too, but where!?"
"Ifrit?" Shiva asked, standing next to the Fire demon feeling the intense heat. Ifrit peered down at the ice spirit and grinned. "What is it talking about?" Ifrit shook his head, not knowing what to say.
"SHIVA!" the creature said, gaining her attention. "ICE!" Shiva became puzzled at what it had just said, not understanding what it wanted. "SURPRISE" Shiva didn't understand anything expect that last word, that caught her memory. She didn't understand why it did, but it just did.
"DIABLOS! CERBERUS! SIREN! LEVIATHAN! GFs THAT HELPED HUMANS!" the creature shouted causing a violent tremor.
"Does anyone hear that in its voice?!" Ifrit asked. "Something familiar in its voice, sounding mixed together!"
"I've just noticed it now" Quezacolt stated, focusing a lot on its voice.
"I thought I was hearing things!" Siren said, coming out from behind Diablos.
"GFs THAT CAUSED MIGHTY ULTIMICIA TO FAIL!"
"Huh?! How does it know about Ultimicia?! Cerberus asked, looking at the others. "If it was trap how would it know?!"
"Magic perhaps?" Leviathan suggested. "Allowed it see what happen outside?"
"I don't think so Leviathan" Quezacolt stated.
"Oh? How do you know that?" Siren asked before the serpent did.
"I tried sending a message and I tried using my power to see inside that crystal. Everything was bounced back to me," Quezacolt explained.
"I tried it also, nothing got through!" Diablos added.
"GGGRRRAAA!" the creature roared causing another tremor. The GFs stared at the creature, which started shaking its head side to side, like its head was about to explode. "GFs MUST DIE! REVENGE MUST BE HAD! TIME TO KILL ALL GFs FOREVEFR!"
"THERE!" Ifrit shouted.
"I heard it too Ifrit!" Siren shouted, jumping up and down for no reason.
"Same here!" Quezacolt said.
"Heard what guys?!" the others asked, staring blankly at the three. Ifrit smiled with his hands out in front.
"I thought I heard those voices before! They were bugging me at the back of my head!" Ifrit explained briefly. Suddenly Ifrit frowned and stood up straight, crossing his arms and resting his chin in his right hand.
"But Ifrit, that can't be" Siren added.
"I know"
"What?!" Ifrit and Siren turned to face the others, with Quezacolt behind the two in front.
"The voices we thought we heard in the creatures speeches sounded too real and only two kinds of people we know have that exacted voice."
"Who?" Cerberus asked drawing closer as did the other.
"Ultimicia and her pet GF Griever"
"WHAT!?" Cerberus cried its eyes opened wide and filled with fright. "That can't be!"
"Exactly!" Diablos shouted, flapping his wings so he could touch the ground. He wiped his mouth and walked up to the group. "How can Ultimicia and Griever be alive?! Let alone be inside that thing?! They were destroyed! The mortals and we saw that happen to them!" Diablos explained pounding his fist into his opened hand.
"That's right!" Shiva said. "We all saw them get destroy by Squall and company! Maybe we're hearing things!" Shiva suggested, trying to sound realistic. Ifrit slapped his head, not buying this hogwash he was hearing.
"Maybe we're hearing things!? Are you nuts!" Ifrit shouted. "I know what I hear, and what I hear is THEM!"
"But that's just not possible" Cerberus stated.
"Hey! I don't believe it too, but I've tried looking the other way and its just doesn't work!"
"GGGRRRAAA!" The creature shouted, breaking up the group's conversation. "NO MORE TALK! YOU ALL DIE HERE AND THE WORLD TO FOLLOW AFTERWARDS! ULTIMICIA WISHES THIS!
"Ultimicia wishes!? Leviathan shouted.
"Alright! This is hardly making any sense!" Diablos stated, getting confused by the minute.
"GGGRRRAAA!!" roared the creature. The crystal began to glow and fade quicker, the ground began to shake again and the hovering rocks became to rain.
"OH NO!" the GF's shouted, shielding themselves from the falling rocks and the shaky ground.
"I BE FREE!" the creature roared rising its fist up behind its head. "GGGRRRAAA!!!" the creature threw its fist into the crystal, sending a shockwave (small) from the crystal's surface.
The rocks stopped falling again, hovering as they did before. The ground stopped moving just like the many time before and the all sound was silent. The creature growled and stood up straight, staring at the GF's that were lying on the ground and then at the crystal.
The GF's removed their hands from their heads or uncovered their wings from their body at the silence around them. They examined the stillness of the ground and rocks. The GF's slowly stood up; their bodies bruised and blood pouring from their scars. They spun around and saw the creature standing there, still within his crystal prison, which was vibrating.
CRACK
A giant crack suddenly appeared, causing the vibration to stop. The crack glowed a light purple from the black crystal. The creature smiled, showing its teeth. The crack then sprouted more cracks, each connecting to the main, spreading around and covering the face of the crystal while still digging inside the crystal itself.
"Oh no!" Cerberus cried, moving away as the others started to do. "Its gonna blow!"
"Judging by the power it's emitting, I doubt that any solid matter won't become nothing more then shreds!" Quezacolt exclaimed, flying just overhead.
"Everyone come together!" Leviathan shouted, rounding up the GF's into his body. He bit down on Cerberus's tail and dropped him into the middle of his coiled up body, alone with Siren, Shiva and Ifrit.
"What are you doing you snake!?" the right head shouted, after getting on its legs. Leviathan didn't pay any attention, but turned to Diablos and Quezacolt, who were looking down at the serpent.
"You two get in here! I can shield against it!"
"How!?" Diablos asked, drawing closer.
"Don't ask just get in!" Leviathan shouted, knocking Diablos to the ground inside his coiled body with his head. Leviathan peered up at Quezacolt who quickly flew in without force.
"You better have something in mind!" Diablos shouted, rubbing the back of his head.
"Your body isn't strong enough to shield us! Its too soft!" Siren stated poking at the serpent's rubber like body. Leviathan finished his coiled and rested his head over the opening, leaving the GF's inside in the dark.
"Ah! This is nice!" Diablos stated rubbing his shoulders in the small light emitted from Ifrit.
"Shut up!" Ifrit roared, not liking the space he was in. "Leviathan! You better have a good idea!"
"GF's DIES NOW!!!" the creature shouted punching the crystal. The black crystal shattered, causing all the pieces filled with dark energy to fly out in every direction. Leviathan narrowed his eyes as the shards of crystal flew towards him, threatening to cut through him and his friends.
"HARD SKIN METAL!"
A flash of light, that faded quickly, blinded the GF's but nothing seemed to have changed from inside Leviathan coiled up body. Out of the small gaps between the serpents body small amount of quick purple flashes peered in. The flashes brighten up the dark inside for only a few seconds then stopped, leaving the light emitted by Ifrit.
"Huh… okay! What's going on!?" Diablos asked, trying to see through one of the gaps.
"The flashes have stopped" Quezacolt stated, seeing flashes in his eyes.
"But what was the first flash at the beginning?" Shiva and Siren asked.
"Hey Leviathan!" Ifrit shouted, his light growing bright. "Can you get us out of here now! Don't make me burn you!" Suddenly the gaps in the serpents grew as Leviathan opened up his body. There was smoke around them and a large bit in the center of platform where the crystal once stood. The GF's moved out from Leviathan, staring through the smoke that hanged around them.
"Hey Leviathan!" Cerberus shouted, walking up to the serpent, not seeing Leviathan's head hidden in smoke. "That hard skin metal was impresses!" Leviathan remained silent. "I mean, I didn't think you could have protect us. I thought the crystal would have slashed through you…"
Leviathan suddenly collapsed in front of Cerberus, lying still on the ground.
"LEVIATHAN!!" they all cried, running to the serpent. They stood above his metal like body, their reflection casting back at them. They examined his body and found that five shards were implanted in his metal body, causing dark energy to surge around the serpent's body.
"Get them out of him!" Siren shouted, holding her hands close to her chest. Cerberus leaped across Leviathan and stared at one of the dark crystals.
"Let me handle this!" the right head shouted.
"No don't!" The top head warned, being too late.
The right head closed its teeth around the crystal and tried to pull. Suddenly the right head was engulfed in a dark bright flash, pushing the three-headed dog away.
"Are you alright?" The left head asked.
The right head had star floating above its head and his eyes were rolling around.
"I would like to take a bath, please"
"I say his fine. Just give him some time," The top head suggested.
