"So what did you call us here for Cecil?" Edge asked. Kain and Yuffie were standing there with Terra and Golbez was with him. Cloud and Tifa was there too, but with them was Aeris, Vincent and Quistis (interesting couple eh?) was also with them. "Look I need you 10 to infiltrate the tower of Babel. I need that field deactivated in order to use our airships. Luckily the Hovercraft is already waiting near the forest near the Cave to Babel. All you need to do is ride the black chocobo to Eblan and get on the hovercraft. Your object is to destroy Rubicant and Lugae the strange doctor." Edge groaned, "I thought we destroyed em already? At least Rydia said you destroyed Lugae and I know we killed Rubicant before!" Cecil sighed, "The evil revived Rubicant and I wouldn't be surprised if the other three are with him too. Regardeless when you defeat them, Goku and his team should meet you there afterwards. Then your mission will be to hold off the bulk of the monsters whilst they head for the Darkness Crystals and the Light Crystals. Fox's team will go for Light and Goku's for the Dark." Golbez nodded, "After all the trouble I caused you...it's the least I can do!"
Flashback ends
"Hmph I still don't see why I'm here!" Vincent growled. Quistis agreed, why were they here to fight in someone else's war, "Because Cecil could school any of us easily except for Cloud and Cloud has acknowledged his skill over his own. Therefore we have to go with Cloud." The two sighed. "Let's get this over with!" They looked around the underground and saw two children training overhead, "Isn't that Pan and Uub?" Aeris asked hesitantly, Yuffie nodded, "If I'm not mistaken it is." Golbez shrugged, "Be that as it may, our mission isn't to bring them back or to take care of them...it's to destroy my ex-minions of Fire, Earth, Wind and Water." Golbez led the way, after all he knew the Tower of Babel Better than any of them.
Upon arriving, they heard Golbez's voice, "Impressive that you made it this far....but now you die Cecil!!" Golbez gasped, "It's my old message from the Underground! I must have forgotten, QUICK ALL WHO CAN FLY GRAB THOSE WHO CAN'T!!" They all glared at him, because only Cloud and Aeris could fly (thanks to Jenova's Cells in Cloud and Cetra Blood in Aeris! So Golbez cast a spell on the rest to make them fly up with the rest. The passageway to the door exploded, one zone at a time. "Phew that was close, as I said I know everything about this tower." As they headed up towards Rubicant's Lair, Golbez and the others fought off many monsters, but they ran into a particularly vicious one along the way. It was called SR. Behemoth. It slashed down Edge in one shot. "Edge sweetie?" Terra called out, then cast Reraise! Then Araise (which is Life 3). Then she started casting out Ultima constantly she was PISSED OFF!! Think Quadro Magic combined with W-Magic, combined with MP Turbo, combined with Golden Hairpin to cut MP usage in half. Not only does she use the spell 8 times for the price of 2 (which is actually price of 2 because Turbo Magic doubles cost of spell, but Golden Hairpin halves that cost, bringing it down to normal.
Even worse for poor monster though when Terra transformed into Phantom Beast/Human Hybrid (More Phantom Beast than Human) or more Esper for you not versed in the TRUE translation. That doubles power, so you have 4 times power per spell X 8. That is 32 Times the power of one spell for the cost of 2 spells. At any rate back to the story. The Spells hit the poor monster dead on and it was dead on. Dead monster that is. I don't know any monsters in FF1-FF6 who could withstand that kind of power. FF7 has two monsters who could Emerald and Ruby and that's about it.
Terra finally detransformed and Edge who had been watching all this (and remember that Terra is naked completely in her Phantom Beast Form) practically started making out with her right on the spot. "Holy crap you're beautiful not only in this form but in your other form too." The others rolled their eyes and kept walking. The group eventually came across The Four Fiends and Lugae. Lugae attacked first, and cast Virus on all instantly. Terra simply used X-Fight to decimate him. Then Came the four Fiends. Now normally these guys would have been a challenge but for one thing, Cloud went Berserk and cast Cherry Blossum (Which is an actual attack unleashed in Final Fantasy TACTICS for the Cloud Character and was an attack they intended to have as the second Level 4 techniche but then decided that Omnislash was enough). The attack consisted of 60 attacks and he tore apart the Wind, Water and Earth Fiends easily. Rubicant played his trump card though. Edge was standing closest to him, so he activated a forcefield close to Edge. Then he activated Hold Gas which froze all the other characters in place. The only ones unaffected were Edge and Rubicant. Now a real battle began.
Edge chucked a boomerang at Rubicant and as he dodged, Edge darted forward and slashed with the Masamune. Rubicant slid to the side and cast Glare. Edge shook his head and shrugged it off. Then he cast flood. Problem for Rubicant as his cape was open. Not only did this hurt him badly it also stunned him, and Edge didn't waste any time he started unloading slash after slash upon him. That is until Rubicant broke out of being stunned and gave him a rib cracking punch that sent him flying into the wall. Then Rubicant cast Fire Hurricane that took out half the battlefield in one shot.
Edge played his ultimate card, "SPOON FIRE!!" The spoon for some reason really hurt Rubicant and then Edge finished it off with another Flood, then a Blitz to shock the already soaked Rubicant. Rubicant vanished in a flash of light. No sooner had he done this than a new foe appeared. It looked like himself. Edge spent forever trying to take his dark form down. After about 10 minutes of hard fighting, dodging and counter-attacking, he finally took down the Shadow Edge. But the final Fighter appeared and made them all gasp in shock. This time it was Kain's turn to fight. Kain, Yuffie, Aeris, Edge, and Terra got to fight this time against Shadow Kain, Shadow Rydia, Shadow Rosa, Shadow Edge, and Shadow Cecil. The very same team that took down Zeromus so many years ago. They now had to fight them. They took out Rosa first, "W-Flare!!" Terra and Aeris shouted together. This attack took out Rosa first hit. Rydia was already casting a spell. So Kain and Edge and Yuffie all attacked her at the same time. This was too much for the beautiful green haired sorceress and she fell like a log. Next up was Kain, now he as a lot harder. They ended up casting sleep on him and then taking him down slowly but surely with regular and magic attacks. Edge went down without too much contest which left only Cecil. Kain insisted on taking Cecil on alone.
Kain leapt into the air and came down, missing entirely as Cecil rushed at him upon landing, smoothly Kain darted to one side and tripped Cecil. This royal battle ensued for another few minutes until Kain used his spear to catapault himself over Cecil and cleave him in two with his Dragoon Spear. Apart from that the last monster had been beaten. The group slept in the tent for the night. The couples paired up and Aeris hoped she would find someone someday.
The next morning, the group entered the transporter and appeared in the underground. They saw some familiar figures in the distance (it was Goku and Fox's gangs) in the distance.
Flashback begins for Goku and Fox's Teams
"Look you guys, here's your mission. Golbez and his team of 9 others have gone to take out the four fiends and Lugae. Meet them in underground and then Fox you take the Light Crystals. Goku you take the dark crystals. You two have gotta split up there. Take the Arwings to get there." So they all get onboard the arwings and Great Fox and head for the Underworld.
When they arrive they see Pan and Uub training as did Golbez's team. "HEY PAN!! Don't go too close to the Land of Summoned Monsters." Pan and Uub waved back at Gohan, "We won't get too close...heh!" Pan and Uub shouted. Gohan blinked, "What's with the heh? Oh well we don't have time to figure them out, we must hurry!!" The guys headed for the underground and surprisingly ran into no resistance until they arrived at the transporter. There waiting for them was Zemus reborn (not Zeromus and this one does have the power to transform and trust me he will). Goku walked forward.
Goku punched Zemus once and he transformed into Zeromus. Goku punched him 7 times and finished him off easy as one two three. Then they entered the Teleporter and headed down the hallway, seeing a large group of very familiar shadows (remember Golbez and Cloud's team?)
Flashback Ends Cloud, Goku, Fox, and Golbez discuss strategy for getting the crystals and agree with Lord Cecil's plan. "Listen Z fighters, you'll head down that hallway there and make a right at first right for the Darkness Crystals. Fox do the same but go left for the Light Crystals. Cloud and I will keep our teams behind us to keep any monsters busy while you get the crystals." Golbez stated calmly. Everyone there nodded in agreement with this plan and it was put into action.
Goku, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Vegeta (YAY!) flew towards the counterfeit crystal room, while Fox led his team the same direction but took a sudden left rather than right for the original crystals. Golbez and Kain went to the splitting point and waited. They heard a LOT of feet running. Yuffie and Tifa sweatdropped when they saw hundreds of monsters rushing up the corridor. "Uh guys, are you SURE we can handle them?" Tifa asked. Aeris, who had been standing in the shadows spoke up, "Of course you can. I am forbidden to help, although I am alive and with you guys, my powers of using materia was drained because of my return." Cloud nodded, albeit slowly, and drew his sword. The first monster attacked...
Note that I am NOT going to go through the boring details of this standoff war between Cloud, Golbez, Aeris (with Kain's second weapon), Tifa, Yuffie, Kain and the hundreds of monsters rushing them.
"So these are the crystals are they? Not much to look at are they?" Vegeta grunted. "Don't forget Vegeta, they're just counterfeits." Gohan said, then pulled out his glasses (note watch the final episodes last three or four of Dragonball Z to see Gohan in Glasses) and took a close look. "Indeed, crude replicas, but they are doing something strange. Apparently they are draining energy from the original crystals. I see what Peppy Meant. Oh well, can I destroy them Vegeta...Dad?" Vegeta and Goku nodded. Gohan blasted Water but was startled to see his energy backfired on him. "Hahahahaahaaaaa!" Goten laughed. "Think that's funny do you? YOU TRY IT!!" Gohan picked up Goten and held out Goten's hands. "Well come on, Blast!" Goten fired the Kamehameha wave and found it bounced right back. "OW!" Goten shouted then started running back and forth, trying to get the fire off his hair. "Drop and roll you idiot!" Vegeta shouted. Goten obeyed. "Hmm, let's try something." Vegeta said, then fired another blast. "Fire Flash!" A flameball flew from his hand and destroyed the fire Crystal. "I thought so, only the same Element will destroy the crystals. I'll handle the darkness crystals."
They divided up, Goku and Vegeta on the Dark Fire and Dark Earth, and the Fire Crystals, Gohan on the Earth, Air, and Dark Air, Goten and Trunks took the Water and Dark Water crystals. In no time flat, they were gone. The moment they destroyed the crystals the worst person to appear...appeared. An Illusion Kid Buu, created as a final defence for the spirit of the fake crystals appeared. Goku shot a beam at it, but the beam went right through it. "What the?" Goku said bluntly. "RUN FOR IT!! OUR PART OF THIS MISSION IS COMPLETE!!" Shouted Goten and flew of like lightening, Trunks followed immediately afterwards. "COWARDS, INGRATES!!" Gohan screamed after them, then powered up...to SUPER SAIYEN (yes he got it back and was 10 times stronger after his power raising). Gohan, Goku, and Vegeta all threw punches at the Buu, but missed because they went right through it.
What a shock they had. "Why can't our attacks hit it?" Goku asked Vegeta. "You got me Kakkarot, but I guess it can't be touched." A sharp laugh cut the room like a knife. "You can't touch it because it is light you idiot Goku!" Tyson dropped down. The rest of the old Bladebreaker team were there too (remember they broke up after Tyson beat Tala, but they all got transported here). A different girl was with them, not Miria either! "Oh this is Hilary, Tyson's girlfriend!" She blushed, then handed Tyson his Beyblade. "She's a new blader too, but she's still training with the old team. At any rate, you can't hit that thing because your attacks are all physical. You need something made of light. LET...IT...RIP!!!!!" He launched Dragoon. Drahnzer, Driger, and Draciel quickly followed. "Phantom Hurricane attack!" Tyson called, "Fire Arrow Attack!" Kai yelled. "TIGER CLAW!! (YAY!!)" Ray shouted (note he did NOT shout YAY!!) and Draciel stayed behind incase it got through. It didn't though because the three light attacks hit from the BitBeasts and toppled the Light Kid Buu!
"What the heck are you guys doing here anyways?" Goku demanded. "We came to keep an eye on Vegeta...Cecil's Orders!" Vegeta grimaced. "WHAT??" Goku shouted, "Why??" Gohan said. Vegeta stood up, "Enough! I understand why. I took all those lives at the stadium and they want to make sure I don't try something like that again! Is that it?" Tyson shrugged, "Cecil never gave us the reason, only said it was important." They nodded, then everyone flew (well Beybladers either ran or were carried) down the corridor meeting up with Fox's Gang, and Kain's Group waiting at the Entrance to the Crystal Corridors. "Are we ready to get outta this dump?" Vegeta asked. "I hope so." Said Fox with an air. "What are you talking about?" Asked Cloud. "Isn't it obvious? We took the original Crystals and destroyed the counterfeit ones. This place will disappear in...I would say 5 minutes!" Fox said, then ran down the corridor. Everyone else ran...or flew in hot persuit. Falco and Tyson had caught up with Fox and the two Fox Team Warriors pulled out their guns and began to clear the way while running, while Tyson Launched Dragoon to do some major damage on anything Dragoon felt like blowing up! Kai, Ray, and Max Launched their beyblades too!
That was the fateful second, Dragoon had stopped tornadoing the enemies and flown back into Tyson's hand, but Hilary had slipped. Tyson shouted, "Everyone, keep going, I'll get Hilary!" He dodged back and launched Dragoon again. He picked up Hilary who blushed, then wrapped her arms around him as he ran for the exit. Dragoon rocketed out of the doorway and Tyson ran, everyone was waiting for him. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks and Goten (the two had been waiting outside) were all holding the door, trying to prevent it from closing. 10 seconds from Tyson's escape and they lost their grip. The door began to close. When he got there, he rolled through like Zidane did while escaping the Evil Forest. "Hilary...are you alright?" She smiled, then kissed him to tell him the answer to that. "No huh?" She was furious, "WHEN I KISS YOU, I MEANS I AM ALRIGHT!!" Everyone (Except Tyson) laughed, "I can tell you guys just got together!" Gohan stated. Everyone laughed again (including Tyson and Hilary). Ray continued to laugh, "Yep, definately new at being in love." Tyson set Hilary to her feet, "We got together a week before we came to Cecil's wedding!" Hilary stated pointedly.
Goku turned, "Someone's Coming, and it is Very Strong!" They watched where Goku was looking until Gohan and Videl laughed, "It's just Pan...eh WHA??????" Goku looked through the Master Level Saiyen Scouter. It zoomed in. "She looks different Gohan!" Gohan snatched it and stared. "Definately different." Five minutes later, she landed in front of them with Uub. The only thing was that they were grown up. Trunks and Goten started to drool, she was beautiful. "...? What the heck??" Goku said. Kain started to laugh, "OF COURSE, They stayed in the Land of the Summoned monsters for too long." Trunks told her, "Didn't I warn you two?" They nodded. "I have a different body Grandpa!" Pan said. Everyone fell over in stupidity, even Kenny and Dizzy (The BitBeast inside Kenny's Computer). "Don't you think we should...BE GETTING BACK TO BARON THIS CENTURY GUYS?" Kenny shouted. "Sure thing Chief....uh Kai, how DO we get back?" Hilary kissed Tyson then stood there with her hand in his.
Goten and Trunks' mouths dropped open when they saw who waited for them. It was one of the most beautiful women they had seen for ages. At least Goten thought so until she introduced herself, "Goten stop drooling dumass it's me Pan, your neice." Goten's mouth immediately closed, "Well for my neice she's beautiful." Trunks nodded in agreement. Gohan groaned, "YOU DIDN'T!! I warned you about that place!" Pan nodded, "I know but I wanted to grow up, don't I look beautiful?" Gohan blushed, "That's not the point, you weren't supposed to...oh never mind. It's alright, so does your boyfriend like you?" Uub nodded who had become a young man in the land of summoned monsters. "Well that's good. You guys all ready to head back to Baron?" They all nodded, "Job well done!" They all got onboard Airships and headed back for Baron at max speed (remember the regular airships now work!). Interesting mission isn't it? And I have even more ideas. However this is a secondary story compared to my Pokemon: Quest of the Eternal Souls EON Items. WHEW!! This chapter is finished and uploaded at least oh and incidently, that flick with Master Luke is just something interesting to keep in mind. Luke is intending to take over the planet, but his attempt will come a LOT later in the series. Wait up for next chapter. Yes I am aware that my story has been dropping in length by 1500 words per chapter so far. The next chapter will likely be long as I'm intruducing FFX characters, Arc the Lad characters, Ranma Characters, and Inuyasha characters, and having an introductionary dungeon for each one. I hope to have some missions available before each team joins in with the 30 or so teams already in circulation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please READ AND REVIEW PEOPLE I NEED SUGGESTIONS TO KEEP THIS STORY GOING!!
