----------STORY-----------

Chapter 1 – 'The Ice War'

The streamlined icicle's kept plummeting towards the ground and instantly penertrating the warriors. Several more came crashing down and circled a group of warriors trying to escape this danger. The ice war had been raging for two years now and Misty Mountains was starting to feel it's force. The tall cold exccentric buildings were starting to shatter with the force of the thuds of these giant icicles which were deliberatley being scorned towards people.

Misty Mountains was a exccentric place, it was most famous for it's people, the Ronso people, with giant horns thriving through their head's, covered in dark blur fur which swept and blew in the wind, big snout noses which stuck out as far as their giant chin, grey horse hair, which looked like paint which had been splogded on their head and a great big build, with a very powerful punch. Mt Gagazet was the biggest mountain and the most effected by the war. It had lost several warriors which had battled to try and save the mountains and it's Ronso people were suffering from starvation which was tearing Gagazet apart. The freezing Himalayan Highlands were also being affected, the holes which had been blasted through the mountain by the big machinery, machina had really stunned the people of Spira, how this undestructable machina could blast through nature.

For the last two years, there has been no idea why the war had raged, though people from all over Spira had come to fight in it, mages from both black and white types, warriors from all over, swordman with the ability to move fast and still be able to kill quick and summoners, summoning to try and prevent more people from dying and not caring about themselves. Though there was one person who knew the real reason behind it all, her name was Colliar Colder. She was the most mesmerising cold looking woman. She wore a violet long dress with shining green sequins wrapped round intertwining through the dress, her eyes sparkled with beauty. She wore a futuristic hat which had multiple patterns and stuck out at the back and had two points, which wrapped round her face up her cheek. Her face had turned a light blue which had been stained by the coldness of Misty Mountains.

The war had paused for a month, the Ronso's had calmed down their fighting and the other enemies had shielded themselves from the blasts. The Al-Bhed from Viscious Volcanoes had stopped their machina and the Mer-People fom Watery Lakes had stopped shooting water ball's from the whirlpools, which had been conjured up by the Mer-People's water magic. Colliar decided to have a meeting with the main leaders of Spira. Watery Lakes leader, King Tritan and Thunder Forest Leader, Serena Sandu.

"Welcome, my fellow leaders, I have some news. Sir Jecht, leader of Viscious Volcanoes has announced he and Kinoc, Physic City leader have joined forces to try and stop this persistant war, which has raged for good reason. We knew both were enemies, but now they have become allies" she engaged to the listening crowd who buldged with eager.

"Maybe, we should stop this?" asked King Tritan, "It has been going on for long enough now, we need to come to an agreement with these people, children, cities and famalies suffering all over Spira and the buildings that have been destroyed, I don't think we need to carry on anymore, there was no particular reason anyway, you just started it Colliar and it just isn't right"

At the meeting, scholars, politician's and main leaders all were shell shocked by the insight which had just been heard by them all. Colliar's face all of a sudden screwed up in anger, her husband, Khimarhi came storming in with his long sharp spear which nearly touched the ceiling.

"They have started, the Al-Bhed, from Viscious Volcanoes, there shooting at us" Khimarhi roared to all the people in the ice domed building.

"Everyone out" shouted Colliar, she turned round and stared into King Tritan's eyes, "I'll deal with you later. Guards keep him in here", as she walked out, she turned back round to face him, "Oh, and by the way, there is a reason, but, you'll never find out, will you?". She walked out and the guards strared at her in the mesmerising way in which all people stared at her. She whispered to her leading guard , who's helmet was shaped different to the others, so people could see the rank of the guard. "Kill him". A few minutes later a ghastly cry was heard throughout the corridors of the ice shaped dome, and King Tritans body, came crashing down out of the smashed ice from the dome, more screams and moans were heard as his body had spluttered on the ground, Colliar heard these screams but all that she heard in her mind was the ringing of laughter and the thought of one less leader of Spira for her sister to defeat, whilst she reigns Misty Mountain's in the near future.

The girl was running as fast as she could through the freezing sheets of ice surrounding her. She slipped. The noise of the bangs and the thuds kept her going, she told herself several times, "I'm not going to die here, I'm not going to die here". Her name was Lulu. Her long black silk threaded hair chased her as she ran, All she heard was the shatters of ice breaking. She was eleven years old and her parents had forced her into the war. Her black magic skills were far superior than any other black mage she knew, at the age of eleven this was fantastic. Evidently she had her weaknesses and the cold was one of them. She had grew up in Bevelle, and major city in the physic lands, 'Physic City'. Before the war she lived peacefully in a tall apartment sky scraper, which ripped through the sky. At the age of nine, her life changed forever, when she discovered she was a black mage. Her parents acknologed that black magic was evil. So she was forced to fight in 'The Ice War'.

"Hey, little girl, it's not safe, come here quick, I don't want you to die" a Al-Bhed dressed man shouted at Lulu.

Lulu looked at the man, she didn't say anything, she stood there in shock. She had always had a fear of Al-Bhed, her dad had battled one when she was younger and her fear had stricken her once again. "NO!!!" she shouted, "I...I...I'm fine, I can look after myself"

"Listen, if you move you will fall through the sheet of ice underneath you" the man replied.

Lulu looked afterneath her and she saw how thin the ice was underneath her, the little cracks started to turn into bigger ones in a matter of seconds and they expanded into one big crack. At that moment Lulu fell. She hit the ice water and felt the freezing water suck in all around her, her breathing stopped and her throat dried. She could swim, but she couldn't swim in this water, she thought she could feel icicles jabbing her all over her body. The man slid towards the hole in the sheet of ice and jumped in with force. He grabbed Lulu with both hands and bobbed up towards the air where he and Lulu could breath. The both hit the ice ground with a shudder, and Lulu's eyes were closed and the pulsating of her heart had stopped.

"Do not die on me, we need you" the man spoke to himself. He gave her mouth to mouth and she still didn't wake up, he then pressed down on his chest several times.

"One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four" he said to himself as he was counting the number of presses he did. All of a sudden a tear rolled down his eye, the wet tear fell off his face and landed on Lulu's neck. He gave her one last mouth to mouth and then Lulu woke up.

"Uhhhhh" Lulu burst out as her heart started pumping again. The man's face lit up with relieve, "Now, let me take you home" the man stated, "We don't want you dying, we need you in the future"

Lulu's recognised this man's face, she knew he sounded familiar, then it came to her, she knew he was leader of Viscious Volconoes, Jecht Kachinski, one of the main enemies of Collier Colder.

A few days had passed and Collier was sitting in her main office. She flicked back her hair in arrogance. Her hand was moving violently as she was writing with her quill. She folded the paper several times and wrote the name 'Shiva' on the envelope and put it in one of her files and locked it with a strange shaped key. As she walked down the corridor, she noticed that her lead guard was gone, and his helmet had been left on the one of the chairs hovering in the corridor.

"Excuse me where is Jacque, the one who wears this helmet" she held up the helmet to show the first guard to saw walking past the office corrior.

"You don't know maam. He was killed, by an unidentified Al-Bhed person carrying a black haired girl in his hands, i'm sorry to tell you like this" the guard replied to Collier.

"Oh, don't worry, I'll be with him soon, but you will be with him first". She pulled out a machina gun out of her shiny sequined pocket and pulled the trigger with satisfaction, the bullet penertrated his head and he fell to the floor with a thud.

"The show must go on" Collier filed to herself. She left her ice domed building and left for the blitzball stadium.

Collier arrived at the blitzball stadium and shot all the people in her sight, her machina gun didn't reach her sequined pocket now as it was constantly in her hand vibrating as bullets shot out of it. She reached the announce table at the stadium and noticed the giant speaker balancing on the table. She reached for it and then saw some giant fiends circle ling her, hissing and cracking the floor as they stood on the imaged tiles of famous blitzball players. At that moment she pulled out her staff, which was strangely shaped, with sharp blue spikes, pointing in every direction. It's handle went from thick at the top to real thin at the bottom with spirals surrounding it right round.
"Thundara!" she shouted. The fiends fell to the floor in an instance. She remarked to herself as if she knew how powerful she was.

For the second time, she reached for the speaker and immediately starting speaking into it.

"My fellow, feeble warriors of Spira, I call your attention", a flying fiend came towards her from behind, she lifted her staff and a giant ice ball flew from it and killed the fiesty fiend.

"As I was saying. It's now time for me to tell you the secret behind this war and the reason why I engaged into this war", she lifted her head in satisfaction. The people of Misty Mountain's stood there in amazement, and not just the people of Misty Mountain's, but the people of Spira. Her face had appeared on televisions in people's home's, on giant entertainment screens and it seemed to appear on people's cell phones as they were in the middle of texting their loved ones.

"So sit back and enjoy", her voice echoed throughout Spira. A roar of exitement bellowed through Spira and the people were literally enjoying this site. This was except for the cities who despised Collier, Viscious Volcanoes and Physic City.

Collier lifted up her staff and started waving it, spiraling through the air. The staff was starting to catch wind. Moving faster and faster until all that was saw was a blur which was moving really fast. Her feet began to lift off the ground, her hat became more erect and her staff now was moving so quickly, people couldn't even get a glimpse of the amazingly structured feature.

At that moment the people of Spira had changed their roar of exitement to a torment of fright. Collliar was now turning into something that had never been un earthed before. Her sequins had become green teeth which had been engulfed by her purple dress, which was becoming the skin, gums and structure of this deafening beast. Her hat was the centre, wrapping the beast in multi patterns. Her head morphed into a big pus filled eyeball which was enriched with a sparkling blue diamond eye. The claws of the beast grew thicker and bigger by the second. The beast's call could have been heard all over, it was offical, Collier Colder, leader of Misty Mountains had become a magnificent giant beast, whos main aim was to destroy Spira.

The beast's path was of death, it killed anyone in it's way. Tredding on innocent people, clawing the ones who had tried to stop it, engulfing all the people trapped in it's ice dome weapen which had been made by it's powerful magic. In an instance a long shreiking noise was heard all over Spira. From the fires of Viscious Volcanoes to the waters of Watery Lakes. The beast immediately starting running, flattening anything in it's path. The ground started making a ferocious noise, and this didn't startle the beast at all. Then Thunder Forest, around 200 hundred miles away from the beast, starting shaking. The ground felt as if it was a football being kicked back and forth. Earthquakes were common, but not one like this. The ground, right in the middle of Thunder Forest was opening gradually bit by bit, unleashing powerful shockwaves as it was doing so. Thousands of people had already been killed and more were being demolished by this unusual event. The crack had opened at least one mile long. The beast was still running at the speed of a really fast then it reached the crack.

Lulu had heard all this unusual disturbance, she was still in the arms of Jecht Kachinski, they were also running, just like the beast, she was using her magic to attack the enemies and he was using his giant samurai. Lulu knew what had happened with Collier turning into this beast and she was dazed, confused and she needed to know the reason.

"Um, sir Jecht, I need to ask you a question" she asked the Al-Bhed dressed Jecht.

"Sure go ahead, what is it young Lulu" he replied in a calming tone.

"Why has Collier done this, why has she turned into a beast, when her City needs her?"

"Listen. When Collier was born she was born with the hat, the hat she wears. Her parents never understood why, but it was soon revealed that this hat was the sign of evil and a sign of the devil" he replied in a stiff manner, not really wanting to tell Lulu.

"So this beast, is her in her devil form and thats why she started the war, so she could see how powerful this beast is."Lulu exclaimed.

"Yes, correct, but theres only one problem, once she becomes a beast she will never go back to her original state, she will die in a matter of weeks" He replied.

Lulu didn't know what to think, this beast could be anywhere, and she didn't know the significance of the massive crack in the ground.

Soon after, the beast had reached the massive abyss, the giant crack which had been caused by the acts of nature, or had it? It gave out one last roar and jumped in the crack. The beast had destroyed and now it was gone. A few seconds after a noise was heard, throughout the land a kind of jingling sound, the noise of keys which were scattered in different directions.

Days had passed and still no one would enter the crack, knowing that one day, even years, the beast could still cause up roar for one last time. To be precise, 20 years had passed and the giant black hole in the ground had not be touched.
