Ramza Beoulve rested his sword at his side after his last attack which crippled Altima and left her powerless. He lay the Ragnarok and the Excalibur in their sheathes for what he hoped was the last time. He looked back at Ophelia, garbed in the black and green robes of a summoner, Orlandu, with his purple armor and tannish cape, and the two ex-Shrine Knights, Meliadoul and Beowulf, both clad in a rich, bright green. Each of them also sheathed their weapons. The Arch Angel Altima looked pale.
"No," she said softly. "No... This can't be... You're the descendant of the one who killed me before. No...I won't be beaten... I will not be beaten..." With wild eyes she scanned the ship's exterior. Her eyes fell on Alma. As she gathered all her energy for one final attack, the others ran onto the scene with a very sickly looking Kletian in tow.
"Ramza!" Agrias yelled as she came running up to him. "Ramza, quickly. We have to get out of here. Kletian said he knows a way."
"But Rofel said-"
"You and I both know that Rofel was deranged," Meliadoul said, cutting Ramza off. "None of the other Shrine Knights liked him from the start. But, he was an old friend of Father's, and he was strong, so he was in."
"Don't talk about Rofel that way," Kletian snapped. "He was a great man, and my mentor. He saved my life once."
"Alright, that's nice, but you have to show-" Ramza then noticed Altima's attack, but it was almost too late. "Alma no!" He ran towards her as the attack fired.
"Cyclops, take the blow!" The giant Cyclops that appears as a summon floated in front of the attack just as it would have hit Alma.
"Phew," Ophelia said. "That was close."
"I will not be denied my victory," Altima screamed.
"Pipe down," Kletian commented, obviously annoyed. He charged up his energy and cast a powerful spell on Altima. Flare. It hit her like a ton of bricks. A ton of burning bricks.
"More… power…" She glowed, and colored light began to swirl around her. Then she exploded, turning the ship to dust. Ramza and the others were blown away by the blast. Each of them were knocked unconscious and mostly thrown individually into the expanse of time, each with a Zodiac Stone. Ramza and Alma were left with Virgo, Meliadoul was left with Sagittarius, Rafa and Malak were left with Scorpio, Mustadio with Taurus, Worker 8 and the Byblos with Aquarius, Reis and Beowulf with Cancer, Orlandu with Libra, Ophelia with Serpentarius, Masahiro and Cloud with Capricorn, Agrias with Pisces, Kylie with Gemini, Strawberry with Aries, Kletian with Leo. And also in each of them, a spirit to guide them back to Ivalice.
