Chapter 10

Chronomage sat on Aeon's lap in his animal form as the White Wolf; Snowball came to the albino young man and the rabbit. She allowed the albino to stroke her as the look of worry shot across her furred face.

"What's the matter Snow?" Aeon asked her.

The other Guardians of time appeared after that. Saint Germain as a red fox that looked more blond now he wasn't under a bed. Zephyr as a golden eagle. Emmet as a white and black ring-tailed lemur. They all turned into their human forms at the same time. Except for Snowball, she was an actual time travelling wolf.

"Locus has been brought under enemy control." Emmet explained.

Aeon was gutted and he nearly fell of the park bench that he was sitting on, "How on Earth?"

"A combination of Maleficent's and Ultimecia's black magic. With 'Rao' acting as an extra boost of power. They managed to break into the Special Dimension and bring Locus to her knees." Zephyr said.

'We fear that Galamoth with be next.'

"But they would need to kill one of us in order to do so." Saint Germain said.

Suddenly, a Time Rift opened and Galamoth came through it. He was in a human form. His Guardians was shocked. As the Time Rift closed they could already feel time was beginning to slow down. He came up to each Guardian and slapped each one of them.

"Don't let them kill you." he said in a deep growling voice as he opened to Time Rift and returned to the Dimensional Time Rift.

Aeon gathered all of his warriors for a meeting in the public park. It was dusk so not that many people would be out and eavesdropping to their conversation. Rinoa brought both of the dogs and Tifa brought Red XIII along to the meeting. Squall sat on the crimson blanket that his girlfriend had laid out for them all to sit on.

"I need to inform you all that we need to act fast. Locus has had her mind stolen from her." Aeon explained.

"Nice. So we need to start fighting the teachers?" Sora asked.

'And the Diablos.' Link wrote on his whiteboard.

"You're both correct. We'll start with the Diablos first. They're acting like spies for-" Aeon heard the sound of footsteps coming towards them.

Hector stood before them with Diablo flying by his side. He looked over confident and he attacked with the Chavre-Souris in his hand as Cloud summoned his Buster Sword to deflect his assault. Hector went for a second attack as Diablo shot an icy fire at Cloud, which knocked him off his feet. Squall sprung up and attacked the Innocent Devil and Tifa punched Hector in the face. Knocking master and Devil on the floor.

"Are you done Hector?" Rinoa said, "We don't have time for you."

"And why not?" the master replied.

"We're trying to save space and time." this information slipped out of Tifa's mouth.

"I know and that's why I want to help you."

"Well attacking us isn't the way to go about it. And why should we trust you?" Squall said.

"Because after the Demon Lord killed Rao I felt sad and I wanted to do something so her death had meaning. Because I was there when she died."

"WHAT!? Then why didn't you do anything!?" Rinoa screamed.

"I wish that I did do something. The Demon Lord slipped in the Art room without either of us knowing. Then she summoned an ice storm with a swish of her tail and Rao was dead. Froze to death, with ice spikes in her back."

'Sounds like Ninetails to me. She's the only one that can mimic some of my brush techniques. But she died. I killed her.'

"Rufus must have revived her them." Red XIII said.

Angelo barked, "What's that? You agree?" Red XIII translated.

"So you want to help us take down your friends and the evil teachers." Sora said and Hector nodded in replay.

"Ok he can help. But, I'll be able to see if you'll betray us." Aeon said firmly and Hector nodded as Diablo got back up into the air.

Suddenly, Seifer and the other Diablos came out from the shadows; both Susano and Link unsheathed their swords as the rest of the Diablos came into the moonlight.

"Just so you know the teachers didn't kill the rest of the Warriors of Locus. They only needed one. So they would only need one Guardian." Riku said with his eyes fixated on Aeon.

"Time to say good bye to you all." Reno said as Wakka pulled out a sword and Reno pulled out a gun.

"Lovely." Aeon said sarcastically.

"No need to be like that." Orochi said with a growl.

Seifer pulled out his own Gunblade and attacked Squall. The two weapons collided with a sharp sound of steel rubbing on steel. Riku pulled out his Keyblade, A Way to Dawn as Sora pulled out the Ultima Weapon Keyblade. The two of them clashed as Xehanort appeared. Amaterasu went straight for the elderly man and as she did he pulled out his own Keyblade. She Power Slashed the weapon out of the old man's hand, but he still managed to hit her with a Dark Firaga; before she hit him with the Solar Flare. The wolf got back up onto her feet as Xehanort picked his Keyblade up from the ground. Whilst her was distracted, Amaterasu sunk her teeth into the arm that the Keyblade was in. Forcing the old man to drop his weapon. He hit the wolf with Blizzga, but she let go to dodge the attack as Red XIII hit the old man with his Fire3 Materia. Knocking him out unconscious. Sora managed to win his way with his old rival. Rendering him unconscious, but he wasn't as severely damaged as Xehanort.

Wakka went to attack Rinoa, she pulled out her Blaster Edges and managed to knock the short sword out of the ginger's hand and she dodge rolled behind him. Then knocked him out cold. Squall stabbed Seifer in the leg with his Gunblade and then he put a bullet in the other. Reno managed to shoot Rinoa in the leg. However, the bullet never made it either. Aeon froze the bullet and Rinoa plucked the metal object out of its chosen course. Tifa karate chopped him onto the ground.

Only Orochi remained.
