Terra's Adventure

Chapter IV

Per-Petrify

"Red X!" Terra shouted

"I'm fine." Red X said slowly getting up onto his four paws. "Go on without me. We can meet each other later."

Terra wanted to protest but the Soldier-Bombs were getting closer, as was Kefka and time was running out. Terra just gave a nod and asked, "But where do we meet!"

"Meet me at Edea's House!" Red X said, then turned around, and slowly limped away.

"I don't know where that is!"

But Red X had already disappeared.

Kefka chuckled, "Awwe. Did the puppy-wuppy leave you all alone? Now it'll be much more easier."

"No. Never!" Terra clasped her hands together. It looked as if she were praying. Then she muttered a word. "Ani-Block.". But nothing happened.

"HA!" Kefka mocked. "Your spell didn't hurt me!"

"It's not suppose to hurt you, Idiot."

Kefka stared at Terra with a blank face, as if he didn't understand, then he became furious.

"DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME AN 'IDIOT'! I CAN BURN YOU ALIVE JUST LIKE I DID TO THIS PATHETIC TOWN!"

"Go ahead and try you ugly clown!"

"YOU'LL REGRET THOSE WORDS YOU MINDLESS LITTLE GIRL!" Kefka put one of his hands in the air and his other on his forehead and then said, "Firagra!" a Basic Level 3 Black Magic Fire Spell, but nothing happened?

"Huh?" Kefka grunted in confusion.

"I used a spell called 'Ani-Block', which makes it where you can't use magic. And since all our magic is blocked {or shut off}. The Soldier-Bombs can't continue to be summoned."

Kefka just stared at Terra again. His right eye twitched and the white make-up on his face slowly dripped away from his sweat and his expression was mad as ever.

"YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO ME? I'M KEFKA! THE GREATEST MAGE THERE IS IN THE WORLD!"

"Yeah, a Mad-Mage and because of that, I'm going to seal the Ani-Block. So you can never again hurt an innocent town of people!" Terra once again clasped her hands together and this time yelled a spell, "PER-PETRIFY!" Immediately an orb appeared. The color of it was Dark Green-Blue-Red-and-Purple. The size of it was about of a School Globe or like a basketball. It started to grow until it tripled its size and then Terra parted her hands and said, "Seal!". The large orb flew toward Kefka at a high speed and when It reached him, the orb split into four smaller pieces. The orbs then exploded. The air was filled with dust that clouded Terra's eye sight. But when it cleared, Kefka was crouched on one knee. He wasn't bleeding and didn't seem bruised. but then he spoke. Anger and frustration could be heard in his voice, as well as sorrow.

"You will regret this, Little Girl. When I find a way to remove this...this curse, I will find you..and I will undoubtly kill you. So enjoy you moments of life. Because at any time ... any time, I could come for you..." Kefka rose on his feet and turned around slowly, then walked away, out of sight. Terra felt the urge to run after him, to finish him off. But she didn't. She had to hurry up and find Edea's House, so that she could meet up with Red X.

Terra noticed that the towns fire had stopped. She slowly walked to the towns gates and when she got there, went through them. Terra took one last glance at her ruined town and sighed, then walked away. Out to the open land..out, to the open world...
