Me: Hey, guess who's back! I know it's been awhile, sorry. I've been busy and I'm working on three different other fics right now so…kinda had other stuff that I was writing XD All that aside, I hope everyone is doing well! Thanks for being patient with me, I really appreciate all my faithful readers out there! LOVE YOU GUYS!
All that aside, our battle today is sorta a combo of two suggestions since so many people leave battle ideas and I feel bad for not getting more of them into the fic. This is a mix of JakDaxPeaceMaker and lightanddarktwilight's suggestions. Tifa vs Sephiroth and Tifa vs Xaldin were the suggestions sent in, respectively. I'm combining them to be Tifa vs Sephy AND Xaldin.
Sora: CAN YOU DO THAT? 0-o
Me: I just did. Now, enter the battlefield!
Tifa, determined expression set on her face, marches into the face of war. She pulls her gloves tight across her fists and shifts her feet, preparing herself. The one-winged angel has a smirk on his face as he unsheathes his lengthy blade. Wing unfurling to feel the cool air around him, he stands beside his ally who has summoned up his league of lances. They quietly dance about him, caught in a slow but raging sea of air. In the ensuing moment of silence, the stadium quickly morphs into a large Olympian temple with enormous towering pillars and stone floors. Two tall but skinny candleholders are positioned around a gargantuan statue of the great Zeus. Their dim light is the only in the area.
After a moment, the battle begins. Tifa immediately sprints forward, taking long drawn-out strides to near her enemies in a heartbeat. Xaldin flips backward as she approaches while Sephiroth soars upward away from her. Xaldin then dances behind her and thrusts two lances out, but she backflips behind him and kicks him sharply in the back. Sephiroth dives from above and swings his large weapon. Tifa sees the attack before it arrives and cartwheels to the side, avoiding it. Taking the opportunity as Sephiroth catches his fall, the girl leaps forward and uppercuts her enemy in the face. Sephiroth is hurled backward while Xaldin fires four of his lances at her like bullets. Tifa leaps over the bottom one that arrives first, flipping over the second and kicking the other two out of her way as they reach her. Landing masterfully on her feet, she raises her fists again, ready to defend. A ferocious Aeroga is already flying her way, while Sephiroth prepares his weapon.
Finding no immediate way to block the spell, Tifa turns and runs in the other direction. It follows close behind, slowly gaining. Sephiroth pushes off the ground, soaring toward the foe, sword gleaming in the candlelight. Tifa runs up a pillar on the side of the room and pushes off of it, flipping away from it and causing both the Aeroga and Sephiroth to crash into it. Once back on the ground, the young woman whips around and charges toward the Organization member. Smirking, Xaldin holds three of his lances in his hand and waits for his opponent to come. Tifa is unfazed as she hurls herself straight at her adversary in a powerful kick. Xaldin guards with two levitating spears, then slashes in an X-formation with the other. Tifa cries out and is blasted backward as the lances cut shallow scars into her. Clenching her teeth and fists, she glares up at the Whirlwind Lancer, who is smirking back.
Suddenly, Sephiroth lunges for her from behind. Hearing him just in time, she whips around and sidesteps just as his sword cuts past her. The girl then sidekicks toward the warrior's side, but he forcefully flaps his wing to propel himself above it. Xaldin shoots under his ally and swings his lances around toward Tifa. She calmly dodges them all with ease before smacking Xaldin in the face. She follows up with a second punch to the head and a kick in the gut that hurls him into the back wall. Sephiroth is now hovering at eye level and he whips around with his blade to behead Tifa. She ducks and does a rising kick once the attack has passed, smashing Sephiroth in the abdomen. He sharply exhales in pain and Tifa follows with a punch toward his face, but he catches her fist before it reaches him. He hurls her downward and then divebombs with his sword straight out to stab her through. She yells as smashes into the ground. Her body aching, she gets up and leaps back just as Sephiroth's blade pierces the spot where she was only seconds ago.
Xaldin suddenly warps behind her and thrusts all his lances out at once. She leaps in the air, landing on top of them. As the one-winged angel swoops at her for another attempt to slice her, she uses the spears as grounding to jump up and meet him. His sword is pointed ahead, straight at her. She doesn't even flinch. As it arrives, she grabs the tip with both hands and holds it as she flips over it. Poised to literally stand on Sephiroth, she thrusts both feet downward at the last minute in a double kick. Her foe is sent hurtling to the floor. Xaldin doesn't give her a moment's rest. He swings strongly upward into the air with his weapons. Tifa backflips away from him, distancing herself so she can refocus. However, the third member launches a series of miniature twisters at her. As she falls back toward the ground, they connect and push her downward at breakneck speeds, causing her to crash painfully into the hard floor.
Sephiroth, who is nearby, casts Comet. A flaming meteor rains down from above to crush Tifa. Given mere seconds to react, she follows her first instinct. Whipping around with all her force, she kicks the huge smoldering boulder. It changes direction, careening toward its caster. Sephiroth puts up his sword as a guard but the force still propels him violently into a wall and the heat scorches his body. Xaldin rains down from above in a dragoon-like jumping attack. Tifa just barely manages to leap out of the way in time. The Whirlwind Lancer continues the assault by connecting his lances into one large rod and wielding it like a staff. He rapidly chains together a combo of swipes and jabs that batters his foe and leaves her defenseless. While Tifa stumbles backward from the blow, Xaldin goes in for the kill. Detaching his main lance from the chain and pointing it at his enemy's gut, he drives it forward. Tifa's eyes widen in shock and she bounds to the side, but not quite quickly enough. The weapon slices past her side, cutting deeply into her hip. Wincing, her head snaps up as her enemy throws two more spears her way. She punches them both directly, knocking them to the ground. Panting, she lets out a small war cry as she jumps forward and punts him across the temple.
Sephiroth has risen to his feet and readies for battle again. He waves his empty hand in front of him and a series of dark orbs appear and shoot toward his foe. Tifa sees them coming in from the side and runs to the wall. Leaping between pillars, the magic tries to follow her, but most of the spheres hit the stone spires and dissipate. A few, however, remain. Tifa leaps gracefully through the air and lands in a crouched position on the ground. The leftover orbs of black energy rain downward still locked onto their target. Xaldin charges at her head-on, spears at the ready. She bounds right over him and the magic orbs behind her connect directly with the Nobody. He growls in pain. Sephiroth drives his sword at the girl, but she calmly shifts to the side and the blade whirs past her. He jabs again and again but she ducks and weaves away from every attack without ever moving her feet. He becomes more angered and his jabs become quicker but sloppier. She continues to dodge them, enraging her enemy even more. Xaldin pounces in from the side at that moment. Using her peripheral vision, Tifa sees the distance between them, mentally timing how quickly he will arrive. Sephiroth throws his arm forward in one last attempt to run Tifa through. As he does, Xaldin closes in. Tifa leaps into the air in the splits, allowing the one-winged warrior's blade to pass right under her. The third Organization member careens right into her outstretched foot and is propelled backward with a throbbing pain in his head.
She lands once again and charges forward at Sephiroth. With a mighty kick, he is thrown into a pillar. It cracks from the impact. He falls to the ground weakly, fighting to hold onto his strength. Tifa whips around to see Xaldin suspended on a serpent-like formation of lances. The weapons begin to glow and immediately a huge ray of whirling gale force launches from the tip of them. Tifa runs horizontally across the hard floor, the lethal attack right on her tail. Once the move was finished and Xaldin's lances disassembled and met him at his side again, Tifa gathered her force and catapulted forward. Her foot was pointed straight outward like a joust and her whole body became a flaming comet. Xaldin had little time to react. The kick slugged him in the torso and he yelled as he soared backward and landed forcefully on the ground. Moaning, he was unable to get back up. Sephiroth breathed angrily through his teeth and, shaking, struggled to get up again. Tifa walked up to him, and looking down upon her pathetic competitor, cast a long shadow over his crippled body. Watching him with an unamused expression, she waited but her enemy couldn't rise to fight her again.
"Just end it," he hissed.
Tifa paused. "No can do," she replied.
"What?" he looked up in disbelief.
"The battle is over. You've both fallen. There's no need to take lives here."
Panting, the one-winged angel watched her turn her back as she headed out into the cold night. The faint candles in the temple silently went out.
Me: And there you have it, folks! That's Tifa vs Sephiroth and Xaldin! TIFA PWNS! DIEHARD TIFA FAN RIGHT HERE! (Best Final Fantasy character ever) Thanks to those who sent these suggestions and any other ideas. I'll try to include as many as possible! I hope to write battles more frequently now, but we'll see how that goes with school and stuff. Hope you enjoyed!
