Hi, thanks to Kiki-Sama, and that's about it. Enjoy!
The second wall had fallen, Jecht's queue to rush in. Minutes passed, the army of Spira made it back to the final wall, and no Jecht. The fiends once again began to lay siege, still no Jecht. The world held it's breath, waiting, and nothing came.
"Were, screwed, aren't we?" asked one of the frustrated field commanders, "He's not coming, is he?" The General turned to Auron, "Auron, what is going on?"
"I don't know, but I have a feeling Jecht has run into difficulty."
"Well find out!" the General roared. Auron tried to get the get the Jecht in his head, but he couldn't seem to do it. Unlike usual, the presence of the fayth wasn't in his mind.
"Well," said Auron, drawing in a breath, "either I suddenly turned alive again, or the fayth are ignoring me. But I'm willing to bet that it's the latter choice." Just then, the faded image of Gatta, from the Crusaders popped in Auron's head. (If you didn't already know, in Final Fantasy 10, you can change wither Gatta, or Luzzu dies in Operation Mi'ihen. I hate Gatta more so I chose for him to be dead in my story.)
"Sir Auron, we have a problem over here, we believe that Seymour found out what we planned to do," said Gatta. "What do you mean, found out?" asked Auron.
"Well, Seymour must have someone here on the Farplane sir. Something possessed Jecht, he's just wandering around, mumbling something about Sin."
Sin? Possessed? thought Auron, wait, that's not right, unless... shit! "Gatta, send the your army anyway, you're in charge now, just rush Seymour's army from behind, I'll worry about Jecht." "Yessir!" shouted Gatta.
Finally, after what seemed like forever to the troops on the ground, Jecht's army could be seen advancing over the horizon. The army gave a huge cheer, and General Barogen gave the order to fire the last of the macina weaponry. Missiles hurled through the air, and machine guns blared. The ammunition was running dangerously low, and the last missile volley launched off no more than 5 minutes later. Within 10 minutes, only a ammunition for the rifles remained.
Finally the order was given to unleash the Crescent Death. The fiends that piled up in front of the 2 massive wooden walls didn't stand a chance. The structures holding up the massive weights behind the walls were blown, and the weights fell. What happened next occurred over a time period of a little more than one second. As the weights fell, the pulled a large rope, which in turn went through a few pulleys until they opened up the flaps cut into the wooden wall. Simultaneously the ropes went through a larger series of pulleys that lead to a very large horizontal lever, which ran about 40 feet in length. The rope was tied to one end of the lever. 20 feet down this wooden shaft, lay the pivot, and the rest of the 20 feet was a large and deadly blade, the largest blade ever crafted. When the flaps opened, the weights caused the two blades to shoot out in a great arch in front of the wall.
A faint smile could be seen on Kimarhi's face as the blade shot out and another hundred fiends parished in an instant. Unfortunately, the launching of this weapon signified the last of Spira's tricks. All that was left to do was wait until Jecht's army arrived, then only carnage could follow.
"Tidus," said Yuna in a casual tone, "I don't expect to be seeing you till this is over. I'm going to be spending the entire time doing white magic for the wounded...don't be there!"
Tidus smiled, "Don't die, okay, I get it. Well, have fun, and try not to wear yourself out, tomorrow is going to be just as exciting."
Jehct's army was now reaching the outer reaches of Seymour's, which finally seemed to have an end. The two armies plunged into each other in two masses.
While Seymour's army was made entirely of fiends, Jehct's looked even stranger. As the spirits of the Farplane came into the multitude of things happened, some, merely took the form of their old bodies before death. Others took the bodies of the fiends they would have become had they never gotten to the Farplane after death. There even seemed to be crosses of fiend and human in some. The strangest of all however, were the few whom had lived in Zanarkand a thousand years ago, the ones who hadn't become Fayth. These creatures looked like lesser forms of aeons. Also in Jehct's army of circus freaks included the aeons of the fayth; Valefore, Ifirt, Anima, Magus Sisters, etc.
What resulted of two armies of strange looking monsters turned out to be mass confusion for the humans behind the stone wall. It was different however, for those were already dead, they could feel the difference in each other.
Though the battle had been fought well thus far, it was now down to the last leg to stand on. The only option left was to attack with Jehct's forces on the ground. The great stone doors of the wall were opened, and Spira's finest flooded out. Tidus, Wakka, Auron, Paine, and Rikku could be seen among the first to come out. Lulu, had stayed behind in to cast magic from a safe distance. Of the Yuna's group, Rikku drew first blood, lobbing a grenade high deep into the ranks of the fiends. It exploded with a satisfying, but muffled thud, sending dirt and fiend blood in many directions.
It wasn't long before Tidus could be seen with the Caldabog stuck in the ground, using only his fists to conserve energy. Though the way he was brutally beating the tar out of some of the fiends instead of merely bashing their head in, or snapping their neck. One instance was almost humorous in the way he grabbed a floating eye and proceeded to tear off its wings, and stomp it to death.
Meanwhile, Paine and Auron were both sub-consciously trying to outdo each other in combat. Auron threatened a Chimera Brain, immobilizing it. He then quickly took it out with a single blow to the head. Paine countered this by doing Liquid Steel to three different Thunder Elements, killing them all with instantly.
Set the example, show her where experience counts. Auron's sub-conscious told him. He ran toward a Marlboro, expertly leaping into the air, and cutting of it's spitting tentacle. As he landed he brought his sword down across into it's head. The sword pierced it's brain and the huge monster fell forward dead.
Wow Paine, way to be outdone. Focus! thought Paine savagely. She went to her Dark Knight Dressphere (the only one besides Warrior and Samurai she still used) and performed Darkness, sacrificing her own health to damage others. This killed off two Shreds and heavily damaged a Tonberry. Then she struck the Tonberry with her sword, nearly killing it. Finally she used drain and stole back the health she had lost using Darkness, effectively killing.
Just then, after Paine's attack, Auron saw a Behemoth King, the perfect bragging rights. He began to move toward, when he noticed she was going for it too. He made a mad sprint for the King Behemoth, about five feet away from it however, he stopped dead in his tracks. Standing triumphantly on top of the monster's head, with lance in hand, stood Kimahri. Kimahri had used jump to leap on top of the monster and drive his lance into its head. Somehow, miraculously, the monster wasn't dead, but Kimahri still had one more trick. He pulled his lance from the bleeding hole in the monster's skull, placed a furry finger directly above gash, and cast Ultima directly inside its head.
The effect was as devastating as it was spectacular. The fiend's eyes began to glow a with energy, before bulging and eventually exploding out of their sockets. Kimahri had leaped off from his perch just as a beam of energy shot out from the hole in the monster's skull. The King Behemoth fell over, very dead.
Tidus, on the other hand, had actually been doing better than he thought he might. He had managed to ignore the constant blood shed around him, and remained solely focused on fighting. This worked, for awhile, but being in the middle of a war is bound to catch up with you. For him, it happened when a young man that was missing most of his neck fell backward on him, dead. Tidus yelled in surprise and jumped backward, looking at the crimson blood-stain on his clothes. During this small period of shock, he was caught off guard by a Garuda that bit him savagely in the shoulder. He tore it off and rammed his sword as far down the fiends throat as possible.
And so the battle raged on, and eventually dwindling down Seymour's numbers, just as Auron had predicted. Within the hour, victory was clear, but, also as Auron had predicted, reinforcements from Seymour were on their way. Brother, who was out scouting, noticed a huge gathering of fiends near Guadosalem, not to mention frequent reports of the fiends abandoning Bevelle.
It was getting dusk then, so Auron decided to have to have the guardians fall back for the night, meanwhile the rest of the army continued to fight, a slowing battle. Rikku simultaneously threw a fire, ice, water, and thunder gem in front of the gates, clearing a pathway to safety
They camped out in a crevice of Mushroom Rock Road, because the barracks were being transformed into hospital waiting and recovery rooms. It wasn't too long before they went to sleep. All of them were tired beyond belief, sore, and physically weakened from a long grueling battle. If they hadn't been inside a military complex, Auron would have been nervous sleeping out in the open after such a long battle. He knew the dangers that came from running into even what seem like weak fiends after a long battle, and they were deadly. Fortunately they were safe, or, as safe as they could be.
It was still night when Tidus awoke. The battle was over, for the time being. But the reason Tidus woke up was not from natural causes. It was from a familiar face staring down at his, and fingers grasped tightly around his throat.
I know, I know, people hate cliffes. But hey, this is my first cliffe ever, so you're just gonna have to live with it for now. I know I haven't updated very fast, but I've been writing this chapter over a span of about 5 days. Anyway I hoped you enjoyed it, and I will have another chapter... soon. Maybe. (Sorry, I don't have time to edit this so any mistakes I make I appologize for.)
