This is it, my dears. The story's CLIMAX. I will put the two fights into two sides; Zack's Side, and Mekazu's Side. Zack's side contains Zack vs. Genesis Avatar and Mekazu's side contains Mekazu vs. Corrupted Minerva. I gotta thank for the visitors and reviewers who followed me so far, since its my first time reaching a climax in the story. Well, here goes. I got alot of words to say at the end, for now, enjoy the battle. =3=

As for both sides, they are in different places, but in the same moment.

Additional Notes: Both sides' events are happening at the same time; no delays nor timestops, except for flashbacks that might happen to write.

Example, Zack's Side comes first, but once it moves to Mekazu's side, it'll be like back to the root of the Zack's side.

Like, Zack placed Seven Goddess Materias on the pedestal, and on Mekazu's Side, at the same time Mekazu puts in the LifeStream Crystal Seals. Got it? Good.

Disclaimer: My dears, I do not own the Compilation. Only my OCs.

This is it. Two chosen people are now fighting for the Planet's fate. Aresia, the LifeStream of Time, is in the secret section within the Great Cavern of Wonders, is watching Zack go deeper through the Portal of Severance, and Mekazu is now almost near to the lowest levels of the Great Cavern of Wonders. They will open, fight, and try to win at the same time.

The Hero vs. the Materia, and the Guardian vs. the Source.

Zack's Side

An hour later, Zack had placed seven Goddess Materias on its pedestal; the door opens, with a white spectre of sight which is probably the Light of Doom. He had an eerie feeling on the sight, as he thought he might go to an otherworldly plane of existence. As he went closer, he saw Genesis almost going to take on the power of the eighth Goddess Materia; a heavenly boon.

Mekazu's Side

An hour later, Mekazu placed seven Lifestream Crystal Seals on the gate at the lowest level of Great Cavern of Wonders. The gate opens; with a sight of Hell inside, presumably Minerva was already corrupted by Jenova. He also had an eerie feeling on the scenery, as if it was the real Hell itself from the Planet. He saw one thing, however. Minerva is still trying to fight the infection; because her body is weakening and the gold trims and white robes are still present.

Zack's Side

There it is. Zack entered the Light of Doom; as Genesis looks up to the heavenly boon, reciting a LOVELESS act.

"My soul, corrupted by vengeance..." said Genesis.

He continued. "Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey, in my own salvation.."

Genesis turned around to face Zack. "You're late."

Zack walked towards him, but meters away. "LOVELESS again?"

Genesis said. "You have succeeded Angeal's spirit, and carry a part of Sephiroth within you... thus the three friends are reunited once again... and LOVELESS, is reenacted."

"No, open your eyes, Genesis!" said Zack.

Mekazu's Side

There he goes. Mekazu entered the deepest level of Great Cavern of Wonders. There, its a scenery of Hell. The crystals were red instead of cyan. Lava is flowing instead of water, as there are hellfire eruptions occuring in the land. As he saw Minerva, exhausted.

"You're...here..." said Minerva, weakly.

Mekazu said. "Minerva..."

Minerva continued, trying to catch her breath. "I can't... fight... the infection... anymore.."

Mekazu reassured her. "Let me handle the rest... I'll destroy the infection.."

Both Sides - Different Place, same time

Genesis, walked and recited the prologue of LOVELESS. "When the war of the beasts... brings about the world's end.."

"I... have come here, to help you." said Zack, in a worried look.

Minerva said. "Meka, my dear... I want you... to protect those you hold dear.."

"Minerva... I promise I will..." said Mekazu.

"The goddess, descends from the sky.." recited Genesis.

"The image... of this place... corresponds to my status... as.. of now.." said Minerva.

"Wings of light and dark spread afar... she guides us to bliss... her gift... everlasting." said Genesis.

"I'm... weakening...further... come fight Jenova... in this form.." said Minerva.

Zack's Side

The heavenly boon glowed with life energy, with surges of power can be felt and heard.

"What is that thing?" asked Zack, with eyes widened.

"The gift of the goddess... a heavenly boon found only in Banora.." replied Genesis.

Zack's eyes widened. "I thought the cells were the gift!"

"There are various interpretations.." said Genesis, walking to the center of the statue.

"We will all join... the lifestream.." stated Genesis. "You are no exception."

Mekazu's Side

The area shook like a quake. Hellfires raged even fiercer. The crystals were melting slowly.

"What's happening?!" said Mekazu.

"I.. can't... hold on... anymore.." said Minerva, weakly.

Mekazu's eyes widened. "Get a hold of yourself, Minerva!"

"I couldn't... I'm sorry... the infection has spread even... further..." replied Minerva.

"Jenova's infection... has caused me to..." Minerva tried to stand up, but couldn't. "To be corrupted... and take over the Planet.."

Both Sides, same time and different place

"The planet, has become my guardian." said Genesis, facing the rapier.

Minerva said. "Jenova... its coming.."

Genesis raised his rapier to the materia, and then suddenly it siphoned energy, and its unstable reaction, Genesis howled in intensity.

Minerva closed her eyes, as flames engulf her with the room shaking. She screamed in pain.

Zack yelled. "Keep talking to me! Don't let it take over!"

"Fight back, Minerva! Don't let it take over!" yelled Mekazu.

"You're not a monster, you're one of us!" said Zack.

Mekazu said. "You're a goddess, you can do it!"

Genesis howled harder as his eyes turn yellow, being contained by the energy of the materia.

Minerva screamed harder as her body went in red aura, being contaminated by Jenova's infection.

Zack readied his sword, as he charges towards Genesis. "Damn you!"

Mekazu prepared Ragnarok Weapon as a sword, as he charges towards Minerva. "Get the hell out of here!"

Zack's Side

The entire area transformed- into flows of LifeStream. Zack is standing, like in a concrete glass floor. Genesis's body changed, into a bigger monster, clad in a left feathered wing with an archwing at the right, as his sword holds the Goddess Materia.

Mekazu's Side

The entire area raged- as tremors happen more often. Mekazu is floating, with a platform made from Ragnarok Weapon and holding a scythe. Minerva, looked the same but something changed. Her gold trims were crimson red, her white robes were now black, and her size is two times bigger.

Zack's Side

Zack begins his attack- by running towards Genesis Avatar. He casted Flare in mid-air, temporary blinding it, Genesis Avatar reacted it with a surge of Lifestream blast- repelling Zack away. Zack recovered fast, as he starts Modulating Phase on his DMW- It's on Tseng's reel. It Power Surge'd. Zack prepares for his variation Limit Break: AirStrike.

Five Shinra choppers appeared behind him by magic, and targeted Genesis Avatar. They shot him with bullets first, before the 10 missiles hits on him.

Genesis Avatar took the damage, but used Overdrive, completely depleting Zack's magic capability and strains his muscles.

Zack was unable to stand. "Damn it!"

Mekazu's Side

Mekazu unfurled his pair of wings and proceeds to attack Corrupted Minerva full-force. He used Darkness in mid-air, sapping a bit of Mekazu's vitality, but it went flinching Corrupted Minerva. Corrupted Minerva countered with Krysta- killing him. But on the other side, Phoenix was automatically summoned, circling above the battlefield, dropping feathers to Mekazu. Thus, reviving him and getting back on his feet in the battle.

Mekazu started Ragnarok Phase on his Prism Core- It initiated in the Attack Reel. The Prism Core announced. "Attack Confirmed." Mekazu prepares for his variated Limit Break: Shooting Star.

Mekazu jumped up to the highest point of the area, and Ragnarok Weapon covers his body into a missile like-shape biomechanic meteor, as it is headed straight to Corrupted Minerva. The attack blasted, as it dealt considerable damage to Corrupted Minerva.

Corrupted Minerva took the damage, but used Abomination, completely breaking Mekazu's bones in the limbs and disabling Prism Core, making Ragnarok Weapon offline.

Mekazu was unable to counter. "Oh, shit!"

Zack's Side

Genesis Avatar begins his attack- by using quakes that topple Zack's balance. Genesis Avatar used Flare back, damaging Zack heavily.

Zack said. "Damn! I can't move!"

Zack found a dropped Elixir from his pocket he got closer to it, and drank it, replenishing his magic capability and refreshing his reflexes.

"Now I can get back to my feet!" exclaimed Zack, with an expression of joy.

Mekazu's Side

Corrupted Minerva initiated the attack- Thor's Hammer, sending a billion volts of lightning on Mekazu, paralyzing him even more and on the verge to faint.

Mekazu said. "Fuck! I can't do something!"

Mekazu thought of something, and he had an idea. Instead of controlling Ragnarok Weapon by Prism Core, he decided to focus on the R cells inside him, and suddenly...

The Ragnarok Weapon became active again, its own legs transformed into arm gauntlets/braces and leg guards, enabling Mekazu to move while his bones are healing.

Mekazu exclaimed. "Time for the real fight!"

Both sides, at the same time and different place

Mekazu launched forward at Corrupted Minerva; slashing it few times, as Corrupted Minerva does Flash Slash but Mekazu flied higher to dodge.

Zack rushed forward at Genesis Avatar's sword; slashing it few times, as Genesis Avatar does Shadow Flare but Zack rolled to dodge.

"It's time to end this!" said Zack/Mekazu.

Zack activated Modulating Phase from his DMW- at Genesis's reel.

Mekazu activated Ragnarok Phase from his Prism Core- at Special Attack reel.

"Power Surge!"

"Attack Confirmed."

Zack made a stance as he activates Limit Break: Apocalypse.

Mekazu made a stance mid-air as he activates Limit Break: Prism Arrow.

Zack's Side

The entire area of Lifestream was shrouded with black and gray clouds, as Zack floats and makes a red magic sigil under Genesis Avatar, and gathers amass energy of lightning in one hand, releasing all at once.

Zack yelled. "Apocalypse! Full Power!"

It released the lightning energy from above, starting from one flash, then a series of lightning bolts shrouded Genesis Avatar, shredding him to pieces.

Mekazu's Side

Ragnarok Weapon transformed into a bow with shifting biomechanical engines, and further support is added into Mekazu's limbs as he raises himself up in the high area of the cave, as the Ragnarok Weapon, spins itself like Minerva's Judgment Arrow, spinning it constantly faster as lightning bolts began to surround it.

Mekazu yelled. "Prism Arrow! Maximum Power!"

Mekazu fired the Prism Arrow, piercing Corrupted Minerva, following a huge blast of energy.

Both sides, the same time and different place

Genesis Avatar, now unable to go on further, became defeated as all the lifestream in him left his body, and the materia cracked into pieces.

Corrupted Minerva, now unable to control Minerva's Body, became defeated as the entire area went back to normal, and Jenova's infection was cured.

At the secret section in the Great Cavern of Wonders, Aresia felt relief.

"Finally, those two... saved it..." said Aresia, with a look of a smile.

I guess that's that! XD There you go, the final battle appeared. Well, there will still be ending chapters to come.

Err.. what can you say about this? Messy? XD It's okay!
