How to FINALLY kill the blasted two headed Dragon!
Or sit back and watch
The battle had raged for what felt like forever when Vincent finally gave into the demands of Hellmasker, ordering Tifa to bring Cloud back before they ran out of time. The monster growled, slashing into the two headed terror and only briefly wondering why the other two were not helping. Slashing again, spreading bits of dragon flesh, meat and scales all over the place, Hellmasker lumbered back a little to see what had happened and stepped on something. Looking down in confusion, the beast heard the human host's subconscious give out an all mighty yell of fear, sorrow and dejection as he realised that it was the two travelling companions.
Not that Hellmasker cared at all but he knew he could use the rage and anger to cut the one remaining head to pieces. And this he did, of course it took a fair amount of time to do, which was in an odd way kind of fun cause he got to play with the monster and think of all the fun the others were missing out on. The beast gave a horse cry after having its guts ripped out forcibly and sent out one final attack. Then it burst into a flurry of sparks and was gone from the world.
Hellmasker grinned and wandered forward, finding a nice hard, pointy rock for Vincent to wake up on before closing his eyes and flopping down. Some time later, the aforementioned gunslinger opened his eyes and groaned at the pain which was coursing through his body. Mentally he cursed the demons inside his body but they just laughed at him in return before his eyes fell upon Cloud and Tifa. With a sigh, he hauled himself upright and staggered towards them, feeling pathetically weak but glad that there was some small miracle in the world that allowed the use of phoenix downs to be born. Holding them over his two friends, he closed his eyes and let the feathers do their work before silently thanking Aerith for releasing them. For a second he thought he heard a charming little giggle but pushed it aside to cast a Cure on them as it appeared all of his had been used up in the battle.
Tifa blinked awake first, pushing herself upright with slow breaths and nodding at Vincent before digging into her back and pulling out a jar which was filled with a gold and white glowing liquid. Cloud groaned as his eyes opened up, his head feeling as though it had gone through a brick wall and slowly he hauled himself upright, the other two barely able to move in order to help him. With a sigh, Tifa forced open the jar and the liquid rose of its own accord, swirling into the three of them with a blinding light. Standing up, Cloud rubbed his eyes to try and dislodge the flashing lights that were in his vision, "What by the planet was that?"
"Megaelixier" replied Tifa with a grin, happily accepting Vincent's good hand to help her stand, "It sorts out anything and is perfect for a situation like this. Good thing I did buy it when I did even though someone complained about the price of it"
Cloud had to roll his eyes, "I did not complain about the price, just the practicality"
"Yes you did! I distinctly remember you doing so and now I get to annoy you cause I've definitely been proven right" said Tifa smugly, grinning in a playful nature.
Vincent groaned and murmured something to himself quietly before starting off down the corridor, the other two hurrying to catch up whilst they continued their playful argument. In some ways he wanted the other annoying ninja girl to be there, at least then they wouldn't be arguing with one another. Actually scratch that, she would be arguing with the other two about who got the finishing blow and the bragging rights to the kill. There was no winning.
Lesson to be learned: Hellmasker is actually useful for killing a boss? Or maybe the game really did get sick of me attempting to kill the damn thing one to many times and decided to be nice for a bit.
Authors note: Yes it did take me that many goes to kill that ruddy dragon and by the end of it I had Vincent at level 48 and Cloud at level 49 and Tifa at level 47 roughly. I was so happy when it finally let me win and then I've no had any more trouble with the bosses for some time…now I've got stuck against one and I swear if it takes me this many goes again I'm going to throttle the game. Anyway review, laugh at my stupidness, reminisce if you like or just tell me what you think of this strange thing.
