The four remaining conscious members of the group watched in awe as their Eidolons fought the Adamantoises, every one of them chugging potions, Hope tossing a revive at Varic. Varic woke with a groan, and immediately saw the battle of epic proportions ahead of him.

Odin and Alexander sliced at one leg, while Stiria and Brynhilder tossed spells at the other. Nix was busy trying to lure the second Adamantoise away.

Odin and Alexander had attacked the left leg enough to cause it to go slack, but it wasn't soon enough. Nix flew into the air, her face frozen in a howl of pain before she shattered into shards of ice. Snow's seemed split between shock and extreme pain.

Sazh felt the same way when Brynhilder received a kick to the back of the head, and burst into flame before disappearing.

The three remaining Eidolons pulled back, returning to their masters. Lightning hopped onto Odin, already in horse form, joined by Snow and Stiria. Hope climbed onto Alexander's massive hand, with Sazh and Varic standing beside him, standing on the commanding platform of the walking fortress.

Odin charged forward, cannon shells, magic bolts, and bullets racing past the massive horse and its riders, all courtesy of the random cannons popping out from Alexander, and the three that stood upon him. Snow and Stiria were also slinging ice bolts towards the already wounded Adamantoise, whose leg had gone slack due to Odin and Alexander's efforts.

But the Adamantoise wasn't stupid, and when Odin was nearly within striking range, its foot moved out in a kick, ready to crunch the primary rider and threat- Lightning.

But, luckily for the soldier, Snow noticed in time, pushed in front of her, shouted "Steelguard!" with at the top of his lungs, and blocked the leg with his arms, a sickening crunch audible. The only reason he hadn't gone flying off of Odin was because both Stiria and Lightning supported him, and prevented his fall. A couple of Curasas later courtesy of Lightning, Snow looked battle ready again.

However, the same could not be said of the Adamantoise. It had expected that its foot would knock the rather light soldier off her Eidolon with ease. When it met the literally immovable Snow, the sickening crunch had been its foot being indented into a horseshoe shape. Because of the pain, the foot couldn't support its weight, and the Adamantoise was forced to bow back down.

Odin turned around again, and Lightning and Snow both leapt from the horse, each one hitting an eye. Snow's punch caused the Adamantoise to roar in pain. But Lightning's gunblade plunged into the other eye, then spit out one bullet, silencing the beast forever.

Lightning's eye narrowed. Why had the firepower from Alexander and the other three stopped?

Whump.

Alexander rocked due to the kick from last Adamantoise.

Sazh had just been commenting on Snow and Lightning, grumbling about the two "crazy youngsters", before the first kick arrived. He now landed on a groaning pile of people composing of Varic and Hope.

Whump

Another kick rocked Alexander. Hope's leg ached due to his connection to his Eidolon- he knew Alexander wouldn't be able to withstand one more blow. He readied himself in preparation for the pain and the fall.

Whump

But Alexander did not fall.

Snow stood defiantly in front of the foot, tossed by Stiria and Lightning to provide that extra speed. The force of the blow cratered the ground around Snow's feet, yet he still held.

The Adamantoise glared balefully at Snow, raising a foot directly above Snow. Snow looked up in fear, saw the foot, and knew there was no dodging or blocking it. He closed his eyes.

Thump.
