The Battle For The Four Shrines

by cmpuncle

Chapter 1:Just Relaxing

It was a nice, clear, and sunny day on Gaia, and Kuja was sitting underneath the ruins of Cleyra thinking of new moves and abilities to perfect to help him finally defeat Zidane in their usual friendly competitions. He was no longer interested in destroying Gaia or ruling Terra for that matter. All he wanted now was a normal life, ...well as normal as it could be, he was still obsessed with defeating Zidane.

It had been 5 years since Kuja had tried to destroy the original crystal and bring the entire universe into the Zero Universe. Three of the four major civilizations had been rebuilt since Kuja used Queen Brahne to destroy the four major cities of the world. The only city that hadn't been rebuilt was Cleyra, since Brahne had completely leveled the tree it had been constructed in there was no way to rebuild it. Instead the Cleyrans had made a deal with the Burmecians to build a city of their own right next to Burmecia, the city was still a part of Burmecia but they were treated as a separate city.

Alexandria was completely rebuilt. And the queen, you may ask. The queen is none other than Garnet til Alexandros. Following the return of Zidane to Alexandria, they were immediately married, hence Zidane became the King of Alexandria.\

Regent Cid was still the ruler of Lindblum. In fact Lindblum, now completely rebuilt, was , again, the center of world commerce with one exception this time around they built the city bigger and better than it was before. In fact they were even in the process of creating a new transportation medium, known as a teleporter, same base theory as the telepods that Queen Brahne used to devastate Cleyra and Lindblum, but better built.

Even the Genomes had become a prosperous civilization. When the Lifa Tree's violent reaction had stopped, Terra, instead of trying to assimilate Gaia had instead begun to share Gaia's flow of souls which in turn allowed Terra's sleeping souls to awaken. Once the sleeping souls of Terra awakened they joined with the Genomes. Since Terra had finally awakened the Shimmering Island became active again, along with the four shrines.

So while the world changed around him Kuja remained sitting out in the Vube Desert training and continuously devising new moves to use against Zidane.

All of a sudden Kuja heard a voice.

"Hello Kuja, you should never have changed your ways."

"Who are you, and what do you want with me."

The voice replied, "You know who I am Kuja, you attempted to introduce all of Gaia to me five years ago."

Kuja realized who it was, and immediately began trying to figure out what he could want with him.

"I don't know what you want with me Necron, but I won't help you."

"Who said anything about asking you to help me? No, no, no Kuja I plan on forcing you to help me."

With that Necron rendered Kuja unable to move. He then teleported him to the Zero World so he could start carrying out his plan.

Well all there's the first chapter for you. Hope you liked it. Chapter 2 should be coming up soon.
