"Now that we have been gathered, I suppose I should tell you your purpose here." The mysterious horseman said, "I am Overlord. I have chosen you to be the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Together we will destroy the planet I am from. I am unable to meddle with it myself, which is why I need your help. There is however, a prophesy stating that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will end all life on the planet. I have struck a deal with the planet's protector, I assemble the horsemen and he assembles warriors to fight them."

"What kind of warriors?" Odin asked amused.

"A warrior from each of your dimensions. He cast a sort of rubber band effect on us. For every horseman I choose, a hero with an attachment to that horseman will be chosen automatically. Of course I found a loop hole. You see, none of the heroes from Kefka's dimension have an attachment to him. So we have one less hero to deal with."

"This is all rather fascinating, but maybe we could destroy the life on your planet soon so I can get back to my search." Janus said blandly.

"You don't need to continue your search. After we destroy the warriors and my planet, you will all be given the power to mold your dimension any way you want."

"You mean, I could rule unopposed?" Kefka asked, hunger in his eyes.

"Yes."

"So, we're warriors chosen to protect your planet? Why make the deal in the first place?" Celes asked him.

"Because, I was told to. I can easily strip Overlord of his powers. Problem is, I'm not allowed to." He answered.

"All right, can you at least tell us your name?" Sabin asked.

"Of course, I am Likab: Guardian of Earth."

"You will all be sent to your, now purified, dimensions."

"Purified?" Odin asked.

"Yes, all life in Janus' dimension has ceased to exist. Odin's dimension has been torn apart and crushed. And in Kefka's dimension, all buildings have been crushed and magic can only be used by him."

"I think I'm going to like this." Kefka said with an evil smile.

Three portals appeared and three of the four horsemen stepped through.

"It has begun." Likab said, "I sense the portals again. You must all go now."

Three portals appeared and the warriors stepped through.
