Lightning's Thoughts
On Fang
They would win this battle. Lightning's muscles burned with the ache of each movement. They had to. For Serah, for Cocoon, for everyone who had ever fought and died trying to fulfill or defy their focus. She could feel it, the fal'cie was fading.
In turn, the world would fade. How would things turn out? Was this what Bartandelous had wanted all along? Lightning felt herself falling, her hands reaching out to her friends.
Her friends. A smile came to her face in all the chaos around them. She had friends, a "family" was what Fang said. When was the last time that she had been this close with anyone other than Serah? With these people, least of all…
What were they doing?
Fang and Vanille stayed separate from the rest. For a moment, just a quick second, she caught Fang's eye.
Fang. The first time she had seen her, the first thought she had was, "who the hell is that?" She must have thought the same thing about her. That wild woman was rash and loud and held her self up with a confident tough-bitch attitude. She spat out insults as fast as Lightning could brandish her blade. Fang was exasperating. She always had to do things her way and "ain't nothing" could change her mind.
Fang was her best friend. It felt weird to think it, but, it was true. While she was a fortress of impenetrable over confidence and stubbornness, she was much more than that. She had to be, as Lightning had to be in her own way, for the person - now, people - they cared most about. They understood each other.
With one look she knew. Maybe it would be the last time they'd ever see one another, maybe it wouldn't solve anything, but she had to do something. Fang would do what she thought would protect them and sacrifice herself.
Lightning would let her. She gave a slight nod and let her friend go.
