Note: MOST of these battles are too easy for the group, but after the Shiva battle they get downright hard. You'll see... Anyway...
Chapter 25: Versus Jenovafied Ixion!
------------------
The group quickly ran into Djose. They wouldn't have to run far, though, as Ixion was right in the front of the Djose Temple, glowing green. The group drew their weapons and got serious.
(go to vgmusic, PS1, FF7, and to the MIDI with "metallica" in the last part of the url)
Yuna and Vidina quickly distanced themselves from the others and Ixion. Yuna started shooting multiple times, while Vidina threw his ball then volleyed it for multiple hits. He also added Water black magic to do more damage. Then, of course, the rest of the group started their slashing, stabbing, and whacking combos again. Ixion was really getting beat down. But, the group was giving no mercy and had no intention to stop. Ixion tried to attack.
Ixion started slashing it's horn around like a sword, which might cause a problem. The group knew what to do, though. The group parried the blow by holding their weapon horizontally in front of them, and blocked the blows. It was hard to, but they did. Ixion could only try to attack one person though, so when it attacked someone, and they blocked it or jump dodged it, like Rikku always does, everyone else was able to attack it once. This kept going on for awhile, until eventually Tidus was able to start the combos again by doing a quick double-sword combo, which halted Ixion. So, the combos began again. Ixion wasn't putting up much of a fight. Until...
Ixion started using Impulses, which REALLY surprised the group. Impulses were just tow small disc-like electric spheres. The Impulse exploded and sent Tidus, Tidsna, Yudus, Rikku and Paine flying a couple of feet. The group was getting angrier. The group started running in zigzag patterns again to dodge the Impulses. Man, and just when the group thought the fights were getting easier...
"We have to do something or we'll never defeat it!" yelled Paine. The group knew Paine was right. Vidina thought of something, and tried it.
He threw his ball towards Ixion slam-dunk like, the group saw this, and ran. It was a huge blue mushroom-shaped cloud, this time filled with nothing but water black magic. Water Throw Explosion! Ixion jumped into the air and was able to stop from being obliterated by Water Throw Explosion, but it still got hit and was badly damaged. The group knew this was their chance, and Paine took it. She ran up to Ixion just as it stood up and slashed it multiple times at its side. She then jumped and sent her sword through Ixion's back and out Ixion's stomach. She took it out and sliced Ixion in half horizontally. Ugh... gruesome, but it worked as Ixion was destroyed, and the pyreflies fled.
End Music
The group was wide-eyed, but shook it off as they sprinted back to the Celsius and set it on a course to Macalania, for the next Aeon, Jenovafied Shiva!
PS: Still can only post 1 chapter per week. School's really pulling me down. So I have no choice, sorry :'-(.
