Chapter 54: Pandemonium

After a few seconds, Dagger arrived. I turned to her. "Dagger, you made it…where's everyone else?"

She looked surprised. "What? You mean they're not here?"

I shook my head. "No, you're the first one I've seen."

She looked worried. "I was the last one to go through the teleporter…I hope everyone is okay."

I nodded. "I'm sure they're fine. Maybe they were teleported to a different part of this place."

She shrugged. "Maybe."

I turned to the elevator control sphere. Dagger turned to see what I was staring at. "What is that?"

I shrugged. "I'm not sure…" I reached out, and touched a button.

As soon as I pushed the button, the control sphere activated. There were six numbers I could choose from; 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. I decided to select four. That's when I saw the platform in the sphere spin around to a different direction. I knew that this would be helpful later.

Feeling confident that I made the right decision, I turned to Dagger. I spoke "We better get moving." She nodded, and we moved on.

That's when we approached an area were there should've been a bridge. Only problem was, no bridge.

Dagger looked at me. "How are we supposed to get across?" I looked at the gap, and started to calculate the trajectory.

I turned to her. "I can jump it."

She spoke. "Well, that's great, but what about me?"

I smiled. "I'll just have to carry you."

Her eyes widened. "Michael, don't you da-" I picked her up.

I spoke. "Sorry, don't have time. Swing your arms around my neck" she obliged. I took a few steps back, ran towards the gap, jumped the gap, and landed safely on the other side.

I set Dagger down. She turned to me. "I don't wanna do that again!"

I smiled. "What? Can't stand being that close to me?" She shot me a look. I smiled. "Alright, alright, I get it. Besides, I know you already have your eyes set on someone else."

She looked at me. "What do you mean?"

My smile widened. "Oh, nothing. Nothing at all." We both walked on.

After walking through another room, we came to a door. That's when we heard a familiar voice behind the door.

"You're all just a bunch of baby-sitting bastards! But trust me; I know that I'm the worst bastard here."

Dagger turned to me. "Is he talking about us?"

I nodded. "Yes, I believe he is."

She looked shocked. "What's gotten into him?"

I spoke. "Garland, I guess." That's when we heard a monster roar from behind the door.

Dagger turned to me. "It sounds like Zidane needs our help."

I shook my head. "No, if he really thinks he doesn't need us, then let him fight alone."

Dagger was shocked. "You can't be serious."

I smiled. "I'm not, but we're only jumping in if he really needs our help." She nodded, and we walked through the door.

We saw Zidane fighting a Shell Dragon. A very large dragon, with a large spiked shell on its back. Zidane seemed to be doing pretty badly against it. That's when the dragon lifted its foot, and was about to smash Zidane.

I quickly ran towards Zidane, grabbed him, and jumped back towards Dagger. I managed to save Zidane just in time. Dagger cast a Curaga spell on him. Zidane was fully revitalized.

I let go of him, and he looked at us. He was shocked. "Dagger…Michael."

Dagger spoke. "Is this how you want to solve the problem?"

I spoke. "I hope you've learned something from this, Zidane." Zidane was too surprised to speak.

That's when the dragon roared again. We turned towards it. Zidane drew his 'Orichalcon' daggers, and Dagger readied her 'Whale Whisker.' I drew my normal sword, and held my hand out to stop them from attacking.

"I believe you've done enough, Zidane. I'll handle this." I ran at the dragon, and performed a 'Kuzu Ryu Sen.' I struck nine parts of its head, and the creature cried out in pain. Then, it lowered its head to the ground, and breathed its last breath.

I sheathed my sword, and turned towards Zidane and Dagger. I spoke. "That was reckless of you to take that thing on by yourself, Zidane. If Dagger and I hadn't shown up when we did, you would've been dead."

Dagger turned to Zidane. "Michael's right, Zidane. You try to do everything by yourself, don't you?"

Zidane looked at both of us. "Try to understand... I don't want to cause any trouble to anyone."

Dagger looked angry. "Aren't we your friends?"

Zidane looked at her. "I want to think so! That's why I always..." he paused.

He finally let it out. "Look, I'm not from Gaia. I was just a hairbreadth from becoming the destroyer of Alexandria! I can't accept your friendship so easily!"

Dagger shook her head. "I don't care. You've always protected us. But you still don't understand that we looked out for you, too! We watched your back while you watched ours. And we believed in you the same way you believed in us! Just like you protected us... We want to protect you." Dagger's words surprised Zidane.

I smiled at her. 'You got him now' I thought.

"You say it!" said a voice from across the room.

I turned and saw Quina and Steiner enter the room. Quina walked up to Zidane. "My master tell me, somebody give you tasties, you give them tasties, too. Is good manners! I still not cook you succulent frog yet, Zidane."

Zidane was surprised "Quina…" he paused.

Steiner spoke. "Chivalry requires a knight to look after his comrades-in-arms. I will not abandon you! And I shall follow you to kingdom come if I must. You remember that!"

Zidane looked touched. "What am I gonna do with you guys?"

Steiner spoke. "The feeling is mutual!"

I spoke. "Alright, let's find the others so we can stop Garland."

Zidane nodded. "Yeah, I…left them back there."

I spoke. "Well, we better go get them." They all nodded, and we ran off to get the others.

We walked out of the room, and down a corridor. As soon as we entered the next room, we found the others. They all turned to the door, and saw us enter.

Vivi spoke. "Zidane!"

Eiko spoke. "Zidane! Why did you leave us?"

Zidane smiled sadly. "I'm sorry…you were right…I need everyone's help"

Vivi spoke. "Don't leave us again, okay?"

Zidane smiled at him. "Never…" he paused.

Freya spoke. "So, you've had a change of heart."

Amarant shook his head. "What a busy guy, coming and going all the time."

Zidane spoke. "Yeah, but not anymore. We have to stop Garland…now we can work our way out of this depressing castle."

Vivi spoke. "'Cause we're all together now." Zidane smiled and nodded.

He looked at all of us. "Let's go." we nodded, and made our way through Pandemonium.

After a while, we reached the top of the tower. There, we saw an old man in a black cape, and black armor. It was Garland.

He must have sensed that we had arrived, because he started to talk even though his back was turned to us. "There's the observatory. You told me you'd become my angel of death...but think for a moment...isn't life death itself? It must kill other life-forms to survive...sometimes it even kills those with whom it shares blood...to live is to give life meaning, yet one must take others' lives to survive...a mature civilization becomes aware of this paradox...Terra's souls will sleep until they forget such nonsense. They will begin a new life in a new dimension. It's a world which life and death become one...that is the dimension in which we are meant to live, as beings that transcend life and death!" He turned to face us.

Now I got a better look at him. He had white, non-glowing eyes, white hair, a long beard, and a red orb in his chest. He was also bald on the top. He spoke. "Zidane... I'll ask you one more time. Who are you?"

Zidane shook his head. "You're a sad man, Garland...we know more than you...we're not perfect, but we have friends who help us. That is reason enough for us to live!"

Amarant spoke. "Blind pursuit of power is a meaningless vice."

Steiner spoke. "I may not know who I really am, but that is my question alone to answer!"

Freya spoke. "We live not to forget our past, but to learn from it!"

Dagger spoke. "We may be weak, but that's what makes us work together and help one another!"

Eiko spoke. "We live to protect the ones we love!"

Quina spoke. "I exist to eat, but also exist to live!"

Vivi spoke. "It took us a long time, but we've all found our way."

Finally, I spoke. "As long as we have the will to live…nothing can stop us."

Garland approached us. He didn't look happy. "Then show me! Lecture me again when you are on the verge of death!" That's when a Silver Dragon descended from the sky. We all readied our weapons, and prepared to fight it.

Freya jumped into the air, and threw her spear at the Silver Dragon. Her spear impaled one of the dragons wings. It fell to the ground. Steiner, Amarant, Eiko, Vivi, and I decided to team up on the grounded dragon. Steiner used his Stock Break, Eiko cast Holy, Vivi cast Flare, and reflected it off of himself so it would do twice the damage, Amarant cast No Mercy, and I executed a 'Ryu Sou Sen.' All our attacks hit the dragon. The dragon disintegrated. We turned towards Garland.

Garland didn't seem too surprised that we beat the Silver Dragon. Zidane spoke "Garland, tell me... What is it that you want to accomplish?"

Garland spoke. "The restoration of Terra! Isn't it obvious?"

Zidane shook his head. "No! That's what the people of Terra want. Why aren't you asleep with the rest of them?"

Garland considered this for a moment. "I was created to oversee Terra... I exist to wait for a time when this world is without life or death..." he paused.

'In other words, he's nothing more than their puppet' I thought.

Finally he spoke. "I am the absolute controller of this planet!" That's when he cast a Wave spell at Zidane.

I quickly cast a Shell spell on Zidane. Thankfully, I put the barrier up just in time. My Shell absorbed the damage. Zidane was saved. I sheathed my normal sword, and unsheathed my reverse blade sword. All of us prepared ourselves to fight Garland.

Dagger summoned Bahamut. Bahamut descended from the sky, and used his Mega Flare on Garland. When the smoke cleared we saw that Garland was still standing, but he seemed injured. Garland cast Psychokinesis on Dagger. Dagger was levitated into the air, and then Garland smashed her back down to the ground. Dagger was badly hurt, Eiko cast a Cura spell on her, and she was able to get back onto her feet.

Quina cast her Frog Drop spell on Garland. The frog made its descent from the sky. Garland looked up, and saw the frog heading straight for him. He held his hands up, and braced himself. That's when the frog landed on Garland, but to our disbelief, he had managed to keep the frog from smashing him. He was lifting it up. 'Dang, he's strong for an old man' I thought, shocked. As soon as he regained himself, he threw the frog at Quina. Quina didn't react fast enough, and was hit by her own frog. Quina was hurt badly, Dagger cast a Curaga spell on her, and Quina got back up to her feet.

In retribution, Freya used her 'Dragon Crest' Technique. An insignia of a dragon appeared underneath Garland's feet. That's when a dragons head emerged from the insignia, and struck Garland. Garland was hurt badly, but he still managed to stay standing. He cast a Flare spell at Freya. She couldn't dodge it and was blasted into the wall.

I ran at Garland, and performed a 'Kuzu Ryu Sen.' that's when Garland teleported. My eyes widened, and I stopped my attack. That's when I sensed that Garland was behind me. I spun around, and saw that he had cast a Wave spell at me. I didn't have time to cast a Shell spell, so I decided to try and block it. I blocked the attack, but it sent me flying off the cliff.

Thinking quickly, I cast a Float spell, and managed to save myself from a nasty fall. I looked back up at the platform, and saw that I hadn't fallen very far, only about twenty feet. I knew I could make the jump. I tested to see if I could jump while floating. Much to my relief, I could. I jumped back up to the platform, and saw that Garland had his back turned to me.

I decided to take advantage of this. I sheathed and readied my sword, but I wasn't going to strike him while his back was turned. "Hey, Garland!" As soon as he turned his head, I executed an "Ama Kakeru Ryuu no Hirameki." He didn't have time to teleport, so my attack hit him. My sword struck him in the side, and cracked his armor. He was thrown through the air, and hit the ground, but he wasn't unconscious.

That's when I saw something fall off Garland's finger. I grabbed it, and looked at it. It was a black ring. I decided to put it on. As soon as I did, I felt the words to two spells enter my mind. I had learned 'Wave' and 'Earthquake.'

Garland, slowly, got up to his feet. I jumped away from him, and rejoined my friends. That's when I decided to try one of my new spells. I smiled. "Hey Garland, let's see how you like a taste of your own medicine." I cast my new Wave spell. A large orb of white light shot forth from my hand. Garlands eyes opened wide in shock. Obviously, he never thought that his own attack could be used against him. My spell hit him in the chest, and he was flung to the edge of the platform. He tried to stand up, but collapsed to one knee.

He looked at me. "How did you…?" he paused. I showed him the ring. His eyes widened. "How…?" he paused.

I spoke. "It fell from your finger when you fell. I decided to put it on, and guess what it taught me?"

Garland spoke. "I see."

He turned to Zidane. "You and your friends fight well."

Zidane spoke. "Give it up, Garland!" That's when a red light emanated from Garland.

I looked up at the sky, and saw that the Invincible had arrived. I spoke. "Guys look. It's that ship." They all looked up at the ship. That's when a lone figure descended from the ship. We all readied ourselves when we saw who it was; it was Kuja.

He soon landed in front of us. He looked at us all. He smiled "I must say... I truly love you all. You not only broke the seal to Terra, but did me the favor of defeating Garland!" He looked at Zidane. "Zidane...you are truly an extraordinary Genome, deserving of my love!"

Zidane didn't look happy. "What are you doing here, Kuja?"

He waved his finger. "That's not a very nice way to greet your brother."

Zidane was angry. "Shut up! You're no brother of mine!"

Kuja turned his attention towards Garland. "Oh, such ferocity... Master Garland, he intends to fight Terra."

Garland looked up at Kuja. "Kuja... What are you scheming?"

Kuja looked offended. "Scheming? Me? Watch me as I defeat these enemies of Terra!"

He turned towards us. "Come on, now! You may sleep alongside the souls of Terra. For all eternity!" We prepared ourselves to fight Kuja.

Kuja cast a Thundaga spell on Eiko. Eiko quickly cast a Shell spell, and the spell managed to absorb the damage. Eiko countered by summoning Madeen. Madeen appeared and incased Kuja in a sphere of light. After that, the orb exploded, and Kuja fell to the ground. He was hurt, but not seriously.

Steiner charged up his sword for a Shock technique. He cast his Shock attack at Kuja. Kuja saw the attack, and managed to avoid it. He cast a Thundaga spell at Steiner. Steiner couldn't dodge it and was blasted into the wall. The impact from the wall probably didn't hurt him much, but the electricity coursing through his armor probably did.

Zidane decided to try his Thievery technique. A coin flew into the air, and a chest descended from the sky. The chest opened, and there was a large explosion. After the smoke cleared we saw that Kuja was still standing, but he was weakening. Furious with Zidane he cast a Demi spell on him. Zidane couldn't dodge it, and was pulled into a dark orb. Then the orb disappeared, and Zidane hit the ground. He was badly hurt. Dagger quickly cast a Curaga spell on him, and he was back up on his feet.

Freya used her 'Dragon Crest' technique on Kuja. While she did that, I turned to Vivi. "Vivi, I want to try something." He nodded and I told him what I wanted to try. As soon as I was finished telling him, I saw Amarant use his 'No Mercy' technique on Kuja. Kuja took the hit, and fell to the ground.

I turned to Vivi. "Now's our chance." He nodded, and we both cast a Flare spell at Kuja. Our Flare spells combined to form what I would call an 'Ultra Flare' spell. Kuja got up, and saw the attack coming. He couldn't dodge it, and was hit by the full force of our attack. He flew through the air, and fell near Garland.

He slowly got back up to his feet. As soon as he did, he cast a Thundaga spell at me. Thinking quickly, I cast a Reflect spell on myself. His spell was reflected. Kuja saw his spell heading right for him. He quickly rolled out of the way. He just managed to dodge the attack.

He looked angry. "That does it. I've toyed with all of you long enough." That's when he cast a Flare Star spell.

I looked at Eiko and Dagger. "Eiko, Dagger, Shell now!" They nodded, and all three of us cast a Shell spell.

Our spells combined to form a protective barrier that protected all of us. When Kuja's spell hit us, the barrier absorbed all the damage. After the spell was over, the barrier disappeared.

That's when I cast my new Earthquake spell. The ground under Kuja began to shake, and break apart. When the spell was over, Kuja fell to one of his knees. "Th-The time is now…" he paused.

That's when a bright light surrounded Kuja. When it disappeared, Kuja's hair was now red with red feathers in it. He was also dressed differently, and we could clearly see his tail. He had Tranced.

He looked at himself. "This…is the power of Trance!" That's when he flew into the air. An evil smile crossed his face. "I'll show you my true power." That's when he cast Ultima. Purple and white strings of light shot up into the air, and rained down on all of us. We braced ourselves for impact. Finally, the spell hit us.

I had never felt such power. I was crushed to the ground by the relentless assault. My body felt like it was being torn apart. After a few seconds, it was over. Amazingly, we were all still alive, and in one piece. All of us were in serious pain.

I looked up at Kuja. Kuja looked ecstatic "Yes! This is the power I've longed for! The mighty power of souls! They assault any threat that tries to destroy them!"

Zidane spoke "Wh-What do you mean...?" he paused.

Kuja turned to him. "It's Trance! You know how it works. But a normal Trance won't be enough to defeat you...you're all as resilient as Oglops. Even tiny Moogles possess the power of Trance... When I saw that in Gulug Volcano, I came up with a plan. It was easy. I just needed to borrow the power from wretched souls that can't die...where did I acquire it? It was the Invincible, or should I say, that large eyeball in the sky? The ship sucked up the souls of Madain Sari, the Iifa Tree, Alexandria, to feed upon them...when it fought Bahamut at the Iifa Tree, the Invincible drew in a powerful spirit...can you guess to whom it belonged?"

Daggers eyes widened. "No…" she paused in disbelief.

Kuja smiled and nodded "That's right! It was your mother's soul. A wretched soul that clung to life to the bitter end. The souls trapped inside the Invincible welcomed me with open arms." He turned to Garland "They were fed up with being your prisoners, Garland. So, Master Garland. You are no longer needed. And after you've worked so hard... I shall rule Terra and Gaia with my unconditional love from now on..."

Garland looked at Kuja. "What will you do with such...power?"

Kuja walked up to him. "Master Garland... You, of all people, should accept defeat gracefully." That's when Kuja kicked Garland in the chest. Garland grunted in pain. Kuja smiled. "How sad...any last words?"

Garland looked up at him. "Your power is...meaningless." Kuja said nothing, and kicked Garland off the ledge. Garland fell, screaming, to his doom.

Kuja turned to us. "Now, it's your turn...should I kill you quickly to show my appreciation for all you've done? Or should I kill you slowly and painfully to show you my love..." that's when his eyes widened "oh, I've got a great idea! How's this? I'll make you pillars for my castle! You'll all decorate my castle as a symbol of my eternal kingdom... How do you like that?"

Zidane shook his head. "No…never."

"You could never build an eternal Kingdome…" said a familiar voice.

Kuja had recognized it too. He looked surprised. He walked over to the ledge. "That voice... Garland? Did you leave something behind?"

Garland spoke "Do you think a defect like you could last forever...?" he paused.

Kuja looked surprised "What? What do you mean?"

Garland spoke. "I built you to last only until the worthy Genome, Zidane, grew. It was too dangerous to let you last any longer than that."

Kuja looked puzzled. "What are you saying?"

Garland spoke. "There's a limit on your life...you'll be dead soon...even as I die, you'll have died without ever leaving your mark on the world..."

Kuja laughed. His laugh sounded a bit shaky. "H-Ha ha ha...what an interesting lie. You're telling me that my life will end soon? Ha ha ha...nice try, Garland, but I won't fall for your silly tricks..." He paused. Garland didn't respond. Kuja spoke "Garland?" Garland still didn't respond. Kuja tried again "Garland? Answer me!"

Garland spoke. "You were created to destroy. You are a mortal."

Kuja spoke, his voice still sounded a bit shaky. "A mortal...? ...I'm finished?" he grew angry "I don't believe you! Why would I believe such a silly story! You're telling me that I'll die soon, now that I'm more powerful than anyone?" he looked at the ground. "I'm gonna...die? Lose my soul...?"

That's when he raised his head to the sky, and laughed. There was no humor in his laugh. I could tell that he had gone hysterical. He spoke. "What comedy! Zidane, isn't it hilarious? I'll die just like the Black Mages I so despise! I single-handedly brought chaos unto Gaia, but in the end, I'm nothing but a worthless doll!" Then he grew quiet.

Zidane spoke "Kuja…" he paused. I could here sympathy in his voice.

That's when I felt Kuja's power swell. Zidane must have felt it too, because of how his voice sounded when he spoke. "Kuja?" he sounded worried.

Suddenly, a gold aura surrounded Kuja. "I won't let it happen" he spat out venomously. "I won't...I won't let this world exist without me!" He shouted.

I shook my head. "Kuja, don't!" It was too late; Kuja levitated himself up into the air.

Once in the air, he extended his right hand, and cast an Ultima spell. A single strand of the spell went sailing forward and hit one of the many structures that dotted Terra. It broke at the shaft and began to collapse. Kuja turned to the left, and cast another Ultima spell. Two strands emerged, and began destroying the area to his left. That's when he spun around, and cast another Ultima spell to his right. Two more strands emerged, and started to destroy everything to his right. That's when he looked up, and extended both of his hands towards the sky. He cast another Ultima spell. This time, four strands emerged, and destroyed everything above Kuja. Terra was in flames. The spells continued to devastate Terra while Kuja looked on, showing no emotion.

Someone cast a Curaga spell, and we were all able to get back up. Zidane looked at the destruction Kuja was causing. "Kuja... I can't believe him...!"

I spoke to Zidane. "Zidane, we gotta get out of here before the tower collapses."

Zidane looked at me. "But how...? We need to carry the injured out, too."

I spoke. "Let's take Kuja's ship; the Invincible. I saw it descend to the bottom of the tower."

Zidane nodded "Alright, you guys head for the ship!"

I spoke. "And you'll be doing what?"

He spoke. "I'm gonna rescue the Genomes! They're victims. I can't just abandon them!" I nodded.

Dagger spoke. "I'm coming with you!"

Zidane looked surprised. "Dagger?"

She shook her head. "I don't want you to leave us again...so; I'll keep watch over you!"

Zidane nodded "Okay. We should be able to go back through the warp gate on the other tower!" He turned to me. "Dagger and I will head back to Bran Bal. You guys come get us on the Invincible!" I nodded, and the two of them ran off.

I turned to the others. "Alright guys, lets get out of this living Hell." They nodded, and we began to make our way through the tower.

We made our way through the tower. I had to send Eiko back to get Quina who I sensed had fallen behind. Eventually, we made it to the Invincible, and boarded the ship.

I turned to the others. I spoke. "Whew…we made it."

Steiner spoke. "Judging from our current position, I believe the bridge is that way!" he pointed to the door behind me. I nodded.

Freya spoke "hold it! Where's Quina?"

I spoke. "Don't tell me she fell behind again." That's when I heard the sound of a teleporter. We all turned, and saw Quina emerge from the teleporter.

She walked up to us. "Ho ho ho! I arrive! I warp inside from bottom of ship!"

Vivi spoke. "Why were you underneath the ship in the first place…?" he paused.

I spoke. "We don't have time. We gotta rescue Zidane, Dagger, and the Genomes." They nodded, and we all ran towards the bridge.

I saw the control deck, but then I realized something. "Uh…does anyone know how to fly this thing?" They all shook their heads. I sighed. "Great…well, I guess I'll try." I walked up to the platform, and grabbed onto the two rods to my right and left. That's when I felt my mind connect to the ship. 'Oh, I get it. It must be controlled by my mind. I guess this'll make it easier' I thought. I decided to give it a try. 'Invincible, take us to Bran Bal' I thought. The ship began to move away from the tower. 'Alright, it worked' I thought.

After a few minutes, we docked at Bran Bal. I turned to Freya. "Freya, go help Zidane and Dagger get the Genomes in here." She nodded, and ran off.

After a few minutes, Freya walked into the room. "Michael, all the Genomes are on board, and Zidane and Dagger are on board as well."

I nodded. "Alright, then we better get going." 'Invincible, take us to Gaia' I thought.

That's when the Invincible took off and flew upwards towards the sky. That's when debris started falling towards the ship. Using the two rods, I was able to avoid the debris. After a few seconds we were surrounded by a white light. When the light diminished, I could see that we were back on Gaia.

I sighed. "Well, that was close."

Eiko spoke. "Michael, look." She pointed out the window. I looked out, and saw what I thought were clouds, but once I saw our altitude, I realized that those weren't clouds.

I turned to Steiner. "Steiner, go get everyone. I think they might want to take a look at this." Steiner nodded, and ran off to get everyone.

After a few seconds, everyone arrived. Zidane spoke. "What's up? They're just clouds."

Dagger turned to him. "They're not just normal clouds."

Zidane was puzzled. "What...? Let's lower our altitude and see."

I spoke. "Don't you see? Our altitude is not very high. And this is all we can see." Zidane spoke. "Then what could it be?" There was a long pause.

Eventually, Vivi spoke. "It's Mist... It's what Black Mages are made out of, and what used to cover the Mist Continent."

Dagger was shocked. "The Mist...has covered all of Gaia."

Zidane was puzzled. "Why...? How? Kuja... What are you planning now?"

I spoke. "Whatever it is, it can't be good, but where should we drop our passengers off at. We can't take'em with us."

Zidane nodded. "Yeah, that's right, but where?"

Vivi spoke. "I think I know where we can drop them off."

I turned to him. "Just tell me where you want to go, Vivi, and I'll take us there."

I could see the smile in his eyes. "Let's go to the Black Mage Village."

I smiled. 'Invincible, take us to the Black Mage Village' I thought. The Invincible sped off towards the Black Mage Village.

I have two new spells

Wave

A spell used by Garland. Causes non-elemental damage. MP cost 30.

Earthquake

A spell that does earth damage to all opponents. Has no effect on opponents who are flying in the air. MP cost 12.

Vivi and I have a new combo spell

Ultra Flare

When Vivi's Flare spell and my Flare spell combine. It forms what I call an Ultra Flare. This spell can break the damage limit. Max damage it can do is 11,000.

Dagger, Eiko, and I have a combo spell

Super Shell

The three of us each cast a Shell spell. The spells combine, and form a barrier around us. This barrier will absorb most spells. Only a powerful spell can break through it.
