Squall stepped back slowly, sweat dripped off his forehead. Seneka continued to laugh, a maniacal laugh that pierced right into Squall's soul. Squall's mind became chaotic, filled with images of his friends flashing quickly, one into another. The series of screenshots froze at a picture of Seneka, the laugh echoed in his head ad he stared blankly at the creature facing him. Squall lifted his gunblade, Lionheart, and a mood of shear anger and vengeance filled his face.

"Yes… come at me," Seneka bowed his massive body down to face Squall. He growled loudly and the air from his mouth pushed Squall back a bit. Squall fell off balance a little but quickly caught himself and ran towards Seneka. The gust still came from Seneka's massive mouth. Squall grew just out of striking range and the Lioheart glowed. A powerful light shown off of it, Squall initiated Renzokuken and took deep slices into the dark Seneka. After that, Seneka returned to a human form, only covered in a strange, black, skin tight armor clad with the thorn heart design that shown brightly on his chest before. Squall still had the aura of light around him and he dived towards Seneka.

"What do you think you can do!?!?" Seneka screamed as he stood waiting for the attack.

Squall unleashed his ultimate technique, Lionheart. Seneka was shot into the air where Squall releases a fury of attacks. The strikes were powerful and swift, Seneka never expected such strength. Squall finished his flurry with a powerful swipe knocking Seneka into the ground. Seneka kneeled bleeding as Squall fell fast above him, gunblade gleaming with a mighty light ready to diminish evil.

As Squall fell upon Seneka's head, he struck with the beaming light wrapped around his blade. Everything turned white as Squall floated through this nothingness, he was drained of energy but still his gunblade seemed light as a feather. He looked around not knowing where he was now, but saw a strange man in front of him. It was Seneka, nude, though only his chest and higher was visible.

"I underestimated you Squall, but the Reign of Darkness was inevitable." Seneka spoke this in a calm friendly tone.

"You…. Where am I… what happened?" retorted Squall emotionlessly.

"You won, I'm dead. The fact I still speak to you is the fact I'm a wizard, for if I was a normal human I would've crossed over already"

"Then…. am I… dead?"

"No… ha, you're just saving yourself"

"What"

"The heartless, they took over. Your body is transferring you to a safe place."

"How do you know, and why are you telling me?"

"I am finished; I have no more life…." Seneka looked away and seemed to cry a bit. "So what does it matter to me now?"

"That's true…." Squall gently said this as Seneka faded away. The bodies of Zell and Irvine faded through the light. Squall opened his mouth and tried to speak, but no words came out. Squall's vision became overcome with white light, and it seemed he drifted off into a slumber.
