Tales of the Cosmic Wars Volume two

Chapter 102: Symphony of the Restless Sword, Dividing Impulses of the Super Elite Warrior's Heart.

Last time in Tales of the Cosmic Wars the battle to decide the fate of Terca Lumeris, Hyrule and more was not going well for are hero's! After luring Link and Zelda in to his trap, and absorbing the full power of the relic of the Celestial ones, the Tri-Force, Ganondorf had transformed in to Gannon and had become so powerful that he seemed truly invincible! However, despite the now monstrous foe seemly having the power of a god, Ben and the others refused to be concurred by their savage opponent's wrath! Ben refused to let the Zannacross Inquisitor get the last laugh, and pushed his body to its limits by unleashing the full power of his Kaio Ken magic!

However even combining this with his Bankai power he and all the other good guys were dismayed to see even this much power could only scratch the powered up king of evil! Still, no matter how bad it looked no one was going to let Gannon get the last laugh and they kept at him! And just as things looked grim, a glimmer of hope showed itself when Zelda got an idea and played the Ocarina of Time, and used its magic after combining it with the Star Sword, to have the massive power Gannon absorbed be used against him! Summoning the many sprits of the world of Brave Vesperia, they messed with the evil king's control, and caused his power to go unstable!

With the added effort of the spirits of the original six sages, and the souls Gannon absorbed causing his body problems Ben saw that he had the best opening he was going to get, and fired of a Kaio Ken times four Shinryukenha to crush the evil king! The blast shattered his control over the Tri-Force, and with one final combo Ben and Link attacked together, and at last Ganondorf was destroyed. After being bailed out of the exploding Black Omen by Cid, and Cid, and the Albion the good guys celebrated their victory at Zaphas castle as the major figures of the world began to at last unite and prepare to be officially expected by the Lylat Kingdom.

And to top it off after some persuasion, Yuri saw he just might have a place in the Enji Knights and expected Ben's offer to join, along with the rest of Brave Vesperia plus Flynn!

However, while today's victory was indeed to Ben and pals, are heroes knew they can't go on vacation just yet. Ganondorf may have been taken out but the rest of the servants of the empire of darkness are still at large. And with Ben's power growing so much that even the dark god has to take him seriously, him, Darth Damonus and Kira will all now be even more cruel and deadly in their attacks! And if that's not bad enough, the mysterious Xiza appeared before Chaos, only to reveal to the other Inquisitors that he is like Damonus, one of the Shin Emperor's most powerful servants, one of the seven demon lords that fought alongside Necron in the last war between the ultimate forces of good and evil!

Can Ben recover in time to be ready for the next wave of evil attacks? It's time to find out so let's get started!

As are chapter begins with Ben and co getting some well earned rest on the way back to their home we begin today looking over a group we have not heard much from in a while, the dark Enji of Organization XIII! During Kira's rebellion they were keeping low, but used him as a discretion to keep the Enji from interfering from their own operations. However, after hearing about Ben's recent victory against Ganondorf it seems the dark group wants to be back in the spot light! Are view of them is in their usual meeting place, there main chamber in their base filled with oddly positioned white thrones, even if some of them are not in use at the moment.

In any case Xemnas, Ravxen, Marluxia, and all the other black hooded members are there and Axel has just walked in before he forms a slick grin and says," Well everyone, what's the deal this time? Another legendary celestial monster to hunt, or do I get to something more than hunt down tracks of giant mutts?"

Vexen looks dismissive on his younger conspirator and snaps back sorely with,"Do you have no understanding for the necessity and crucial matter of our plan? Let me reminded you neophyte that if we are to succeed in usurping the Zannacross Empire we need all of the celestial beasts to give us unparallel power! Business before pleasure Axel!"

Ravxen then sighs real loudly and dryly mutters," Still Vexen, Axel has a point. Hopping from planet to planet gets old after a while. Even destroying the worlds when we are done are not very fun, since they are all dull little space rocks. It's time we take the assault to the Enji and reminded them who is the true starts of this cosmos! Thanks to that Kira's little betrayal, they are still wounded."

Saix is as emotionless as ever as reacts with a cold," Your blood lust is as always clouding your judgment Ravxen. It's true the Enji Knights were dealt a major blow with the defection of Kira and the Titans. But to rush in now would be full hardly; they still have substantial power and numbers."

The masked warrior of darkness laughs madly as he retorts with a wry,"Oh as stiff as ever, your no fun at all Saix! Of course I would never suggest doing anything so rash. However, I am saying, the more we just let the Enji stand, the longer they have to get stronger. And that Ben Auro, if we let him practice his dance moves for too long he may become a real pain to squash."

Larxene giggles girlishly and says,"Oh pleases, since when are you ever afraid of anything Ravxen? Benny boy is hopeless. He can't even keep his mind together; more or less piece together enough power to oppose us!"

Xemnas then clears his throat and adds a dry," Never the less its true his power is increasing at a greater rate than we anticipated. His power was great enough to destroy Ganondorf even after the king of evil had absorbed so much power. It seems his near mental collapse in the end made him stronger, a pity. For since he has proven he would die before betraying his friends its apparent there is little use trying to persuade him to turn to our cause. Such defying in the face of god will not be tolerated. He will see that fallowing his heart's command will only lead him down the path of obviation!

Still, even if Ben Auro will not stray from the light no matter what, perhaps it will be to our advantage to put our efforts luring one who can match his power, one whose heart is more naturally in sync with the darkness."

Axel raises his eyebrows and reacts with a coy," You mean that Ezan punk? I think he made it clear that he was not big on joining us when he wasted Leaxeus." Marluxia chuckles and responds with a enigmatic," Ah, but Ezan would have been subdued if not for what appeared to be the one named Sephiroth taking over his body. Perhaps if we cannot reach out to Ezan, the one truly in charge of his body would be interested in joining are cause. Regardless it is his destiny to side with us, after all it's in his blood.

Heh, father was, is such a fool. No wonder he is being crushed. He would rather watch the Zeon rebellion crumble to dust bit by bit then admit any mistake. Weil Zabi, a man who's entire life is compassed by endless greed and ambition. If I did not enjoy the privileges of being his son I would have gladly scattered his body across the stars by now! Still, in the end his foolishness is to our advantage. It has all ready divided the Lylat Kingdom's defenses, and made them obvious for a long time to the nuance all ready around there head.

Now, all that remains is to retrieve the prime object of my father's ambition, the supreme outcome of whose dreams he stole, he son of Ansem Zeon. When Ezan sees that the more he struggles the more he will suffer, he will have no choice but to embrace the true nature of his heart, and us! "

Zexon closes his eyes and throws in a weary," Its true Ezan should be one of us. But it might be difficult to make him confront that fact. He is most likely being watched by the Enji Masters."

Vexen then forms a sly grin as he says," Yes, but it not an impossible theory to test out. I think I have just put together, a hypothesis that will allow us to firmly put him in are court. And wither or not it is him or this Sephiroth in control, in the end it will not matter because his body and mine will be totally in are control!"

Xibar chuckles and adds a smug," Well Vexen, you're quite sure of yourself with this. It's almost like you see this as another one of your experiments."

Vexen looks intense as he reacts with a keen," Let us just say, I am an expert when it comes to dealing with the minds of the family of Zeon. You could say that I have the advantage of experience."

Xemnas then looks at him and says," You are certain your plan will succeed Vexen?"

His responds is a eager," I can say that the chances of us having what we desire will be as high as 99% as long as my plan goes off without a hitch! Ezan will be one of us no matter how he feels on the subject! "

Xaldin then has one of his spear's float in front of him as he says," And what if the plan goes to the other one percent? The last thing we need is another failed wildcard on the loose."

Xemnas then rises from his throne and has energy form around his hand as he sternly declares,"If Ezan will not embrace us he will disappear in to nothingness. A warrior who cannot fight to his or her truest nature is nothing more than a hopeless nobody. We shawl lead the way to the new era, and all who oppose us must be erased. Now, it's time to go to work."

Ravxen chuckles and rasps out a erratic," Oh goody, this act looks like it will be a blast! Just hope it does not end with a twist ending, because I only like those when I am doing the twisting!"

Vexen stands up and says,"You can be at ease Ravxen; I assure you all that I will not let anything go wrong with this experiment, now excuse me, I have to make some preparations. It's time we set the stage, and the place of the original origins of this war. Who wants to take at trip to the world of Vana'diel? I promise you, it might just be a fun Enji slaying ride!"

He then laughs before he open's a column of darkness. And many more of the group's dose the same as the Organization of Dark Enji prepares for their next plot against the Enji!

However Ben and the others are near totally oblivious for now, they are at the moment just concerned with getting enough sleep! After saying good bye to Link, Zelda, Kirby, and King Dedede the Enji had a nice time to relax for a week as the space ships returned to Corneria. We now skip forward to just as the Neo High-wind and the other ships have once more docked with Neo Arcadia, and while Ben and his pals are use to it, it's almost overwhelming for Yuri and his pals! Karol looks at the ship preparing to dock and as the young man sees the giant majestic castle he throws out a shocked," Wow, you guys really live here?"

Estelle's eyes are brightened up as she says,"This is incredible! This castle must be twice the size of the Zaphas imperial capital!"

Yuri whistles and says," Well, at least you Enji Knights do things in style. Still, it must be a pain to get any ware living in such a huge place. Not to mention I bet you got lost from the get go."

Ben chuckles and says," A little, at first. However it's not hard to memorize this place after long. And with the technology we have here it's not too hard to get to where you need to be in a jiffy. Don't worry, by the end of the grand tour I can guarantee you will know where at least half of the important places of Hallowed Bastion are, hopefully."

Cloud looks out side and says," It seems people are awaiting are return. Come on, let's get going."

With that they leave and head to the docking ramp just as Cid manages to land. Seems Cloud was correct, as they find Aeris, Terra, and Tifa waiting for them! Cloud's childhood friend is the first one to walk up to them and she smiles at Cloud and says,"Welcome back Cloud! Looks like from what we heard you boys managed to turn another mission in to a mess again before resolving it."

Cloud just responds with a stoic," Well, that's how fate goes. Not our problem if the bad guys keep trying to meddle in the affairs of planets when they are not welcomed. Still, I don't think Ganondorf will cause any more trouble, being dead and all."

Tifa giggles and reacts with a playful," I suppose so. Still, I am glad you all maid it in one piece."

Terra then walks forward and says,"Yes, it was quite a shock when we heard in the reports that it was Ganondorf who was controlling the recent conflicts in Terca Lumeris. To think the Zannacross Empire has all ready expanded its influence to such corners of known space. Still, we are all glad you were able to defeat him once and for all despite the power he had gained.

Master Myers will be here shortly for a full debriefing; he was just in a meeting with King Atem and Duke Raystar. It seems we still have much to do before we are able to fully make up for the losses brought from Kira and the Titan Special Forces defection."

Yuri just sighs and grinds out a deadpanned," Great, not even ten steps on this world and I all ready feel that being a Enji is going to make me more swamped than ever."

Aeris then looks over at Yuri and sprouts a kind smile before she steps forward,"Ah, so these are the people you and Ben said were candidates to be new members? Don't worry, it's not as overbearing as it might appear as long as we have each other to support are selves with. I am Aeris Gainsborough, and I hope you all can be comfortable here."

Estelle looks delighted and says," Thank you! I am the princess of the Zaphas Empire, Estellise. But you can call me Estelle! Oh, I hope we can become friends!"

As the pink haired princess goes over to the last Cetra to shake her hand the former flower girl smiles and says,"Hehe, don't worry I think I all ready am your friend. "

Flynn then says,"I have a feeling the princess will not feel so out of place here."

Tifa then flicks back her hair before retorting with a astute,"Well, we do have a lot of former magical royalty, and those who were once bounded by fate, so that might be the case."

Cloud shrugs and reacts with a plane,"Glad to have you on the welcoming committee Tifa, you were always good with that sort of thing. "

Tifa looks embarrassed and says,"Oh its nothing. I was here to greet you anyway. "

Raven then chuckles and blurts out a sly," Ah, I see Tifa here is your gal Cloud. Glad to know in advance so I don't make the moves on a closed door so to speak. "Both Cloud and Tifa look embarrassed and Tifa says," Well, it's not really like that you see."

Raven then says," Ah, another opening then. "

As Cloud gives Raven a dirty look Aeris says,"Well, more like a miss-clarification. Tifa and Cloud are from the same world and child hood friends as well. In fact I am also in the same situation."

Raven then sets his eyes on Aeris and says,"AH, so you are his special gal eh? No wonder when you look like quite the beauty!"

Aeris blushes a little and says," Thank you mister Raven, though me and Cloud are not like that either."

Raven rubs his head and says," Man, what's your deal Cloud, don't you know what you are missing out on here? Why, with two of them you could, OW!"

Before he can go further Rita punches him to the ground and says,"Don't even get started messing up people's minds with your filthy ideas old man! We don't need to have people we just met wish you were dead!"

Aeris then says," Oh, I would never wish anyone besides someone who is pure evil to be dead. Death is not a fun thing, I was able to deal with being dead all those years, but I still missed everyone so much. "

Karol is confused and says," Dead, you mean a coma right? Wow you Enji have gone through everything!"

Aeris and Cloud look depressed as Tifa says,"Actually, Aeris really was dead for years. But, err, it's a long story. "

As the members of Brave Vesperia look confused Terra walks over and cuts in with a polite,"I am sure you all have a lot to learn, don't worry, we don't judge those that need time to adapt. I do believe the Grand Master will make sure you all learn what you need to know before the training begins. Now, my squad was supposed to meet me here. I wonder what is taking them so long? Huh, oh there they are."

The greenish blond haired women turns to the left and sure enough everyone sees Lacus enter, followed by Collette and Yuna. Raven is delighted to see them and says," Oh boy, this place is going to be fun all ready! I wonder if the one up front likes older men. Huh?"

All of a sudden he sees Ben glare at him and nearly have his magic energy press Raven down as the owner of the Star Sword throws out a polite, if repressed,"

No she does not, Lacus is definitely not your type Raven. "

As Ben at once then goes over to her Doug inches over to Raven, who is in a cold sweat as he whispers," Lacus is Ben's dream girl, so I would not even try it if I were you."

Raven then gulps before " Err, thanks for saving me from getting kicked through the planet. "

Lacus then sees Ben and everyone and smiles while saying,' Oh Ben! You and everyone returned safely. I am glad to see that."

Ben smiles and responds with a composed," Heh, sorry to worry you, did your mission go ok? "

Lacus winks and responds with a upbeat," Of course, it takes more than a scouting mission to stop us."

Collette then giggles before she adds says," That's for sure, you were amazing Lacus. Even when those space pirates came out of no ware you kept calm and dispatched them while defending the senator! "

Lacus just blushes and reacts with,"Oh, it was nothing, just doing my job."

Ben laughs and says," Glad to see your doing as well as ever Lacus. "

Lacus just looks at Ben and smiles while saying,"Well, you did more than well, you did great. I mean, you defeated one of the Zannacross Inquisitors right? That psychopath Ganondorf ? I am so glad your training with the Grand Master has paid off. "

Ben struggles to hide his happiness at the comment and responds with a cool,"Oh, it was not too hard, just could not afford to let Ganondorf get away with all the evil things he had done. Still, most of all I glad it was not late for me to be a hero."

Lacus leans over to Ben and puts out a soft," Oh Ben, please don't worry yourself with that anymore. Like I told you before, you just have to put it behind you. As long as you remember who you truly are I am sure you will never fall to the dark side again. And I will make sure that never happens."

Ben smiles and says," Thanks Lacus, as long as I have your support, I'll never lose no matter how hard it gets! Heh, working together I don't think anything can stop us."

Lacus giggles and says," Oh, don't get over excited Ben. Besides, if you get to overconfident then, huh? Is that? Brad?"

Everyone then hears a rumbling that shakes the room, and it's nearly like an earthquake! As Yuri tries to hold his ground he says,"What's the deal? I thought the capital of the Lylat Kingdom could stop something like a tremor or two!"

Ben uses his magic energy to balance himself as he responds with a sore," No, we have not had a natural earthquake in over hundred years. Oh great, I think I know what this could be. Good grief, don't tell me it's him!"

Everyone then hears a bunch of laughter as they see a group of voices entering from the right hall way, and sure enough it's Brad and his gang of faithful jerks! Brad seems to be as out of control as ever as he is the one causing the tremors with his steps!

He is laughing rather loud and is apparently telling a joke to his "posse" as he blurts out a crass,"And then the stiff refused to pay up because he said I did a sloppy job! Well, I showed him a sloppy job after I , huh? Ah, there you are Lacus doll!"

With that Brad lumbers over to her and Raven whispers to Doug with,' Hey, who is the gorilla in a suit? "

Doug whispers back, "That's Brad Fowltror, a real "piece" of work. He is kind of the most hated guy in the order. Ben and he don't really get along much, or at all. Then again he does not have many fans outside his fan club, but Ben and him are at each other's throats more than others due to Lacus going out with him."

This causes Raven to quickly look at Lacus before turning to Brad before whispering in Doug's ear with,"You serious? Man, I got to be missing something." As they whisper Yuri overhears this and rolls his eyes while saying," Well, seems even in the most powerful fighting group in all existence can't get over normal quarrels. I am sure there must be some misunderstanding."

All of a sudden Brad plants himself right in front of Lacus and burps before he blurts out a loud," Hey Lacus, where have you been? I thought we agreed to meet at the elevator but then my boy's saw you going here!"

Lacus looks annoyed and says," I see you were not listing again Brad. You said you wanted to go out, but if you were listing I told you I had to take care of stuff first. "

Brad just waves his hand dismissively and says," Details details. Can't you just hurry up and warp whatever things you have left? I have a bunch of losers to own in the under sector! Some hot shots from the another galaxy is coming so it's more money for me and I can't see what can be so urgent that, oh, great, it's you."

Ben rolls his eyes and says," I see you're the same as ever Brad."

Brad just laughs in a mocking tone and says," Well star boy, hear you saved the day again. You must feel so good stopping another lame loser. However if I was there I could have most likely beat him down with one hand! "

Ben is trying to blow him off and says," Right, keep telling yourself that Brad. After all, it's not like you can do anything but be a jerk and smash stuff anyway."

Brad just snorts before he lashes out with a sarcastic," Man, you seriously need to chill out Benny boy! You're always so stiff; no one's ever going to want to hang with a stiff boring guy who can't play it cool!"

Estelle does not like what she hears and says,"That's not very nice, Ben is a very unique man who is very kind. Many people admire such a thing!"

Brad looks at Estelle and the other members of Brave Vesperia before grinning and saying,"All that's right, the word was you picked up some locals to bring here after you conned them in to thinking you were a hot shot. Heh, whatever. You can convince suckers till you have to face a real champ!"

He then goes up to Yuri and looks at him right in the eye and says," Man, some of the women look a little to manly. No offense but you should either put on some make up or something . Still, word of advice Webelos, if you're looking for the best place to have a fun time you're staring at him! "

Obviously annoyed at having Brad think he is a girl just for his long hair Yuri glares at Brad and says," Now I see why Ben hates you, your rather thick. "

Brad laughs and says,"Oh, testy! Man, all of you are so serious! You all need to chill and be cool! Bah, whatever. I don't care what some super back world hicks think of me, you will know how great I am when I show of my unstoppable power soon enough!"

Lacus sighs and looks at her boyfriend with flustered cheeks. She then struggles to restrain her agony as she says," Brad, were you drinking again? It's not even lunch time yet."

Brad just groins and says,"Man Lacus, your starting to reminded me of my mom moaning to my pops before they made the big split! Enough, let's get going all ready! " Lacus sees her boyfreind hicup and as his near toxic breath hits her right in the face she just looks away and says, "I am not in the mood right now Brad. I have to much to do."

Brad gets annoyed and is about to say something before Ben gets in front of him and sternly says," Enough Brad, your just annoying everyone and we have things to do so leave all ready. "

Brad gets so annoyed he stomps the ground so hard it shatters as he says,"Well, looks like you all ready have become so high and mighty that you forgot your place! I still have to pay you back for the last time you embarrassed me hero boy! And this time your luck won't save you!"

Ben just begins to power up as he says," I don't need luck to take you down."

Brad then gets mad and begins to power up as he spits out a angry," Oh yah? I don't care about your fancy training! I'll just have to remind you all how useless tricks are to the fury of the Unstoppable Juggernaught"

Just as Brad's muscles begin to bulge and it looks like more trouble is going to unfold all of a sudden a new voice says," That's enough Brad! Stop being so rude to our new members!"

With this they see a new group enter the hall from the right, and it's both Grand Master Myers and Brad's squad leader Sabin! They both look annoyed at Brad and Brad says," Yo, what up Sabin? Just showing the newbs who the top dogs of the Enji are. "

Myers shakes his head and says," It brings me much dissatisfaction to see how little your behavior has improved despite the frequent training you have done."

Brad just moans and says," Oh there is no need to be like that Master Myers! Me and Ben just have unfinished business that needs to be addressed once and for all! "

Sabin rolls his eyes and says," Right, in any case that will have to wait because we need to talk. Not only did you miss the last session, but now I have to address some apparent complains about a very large man causing a scene in the under sector, nearly blowing it all up? I thought you swore you were going to stop taking part in that distasteful AND illegal Power Club? And, don't tell me your dunk again when it's forbidden for an Enji to be on any substances, especially one with your record!" Brad powers down and says," Wait, your misunderstanding! I am not in that club, which was just a special invite! And your misunderstanding, I am always like this! Its these idiots who got wasted last night!"

Myers then looks annoyed and says," No matter what the excuse is I won't have Enji take part in such groups that tarnish are honor and reputation. "Sabin then cracks his muscles and says," Now Brad, Jerid, Mondo, Slate, CJ. We need to talk about your proper punishment."

Brad just gives Ben a dirty look and says," Looks like you got a lucky break again Ben. Figures, later dudes. You know the drill gal. Wait for me outside Lacus."

As he recently walks away with his group Lacus sighs and mutters a vexxed," Don't count on it, I am beginning to wonder if you will ever come around Brad."

As Myers sees Sabin lead Brad and the others out he sighs before turning to Ben and the others and saying,"Well, I apologize for that. Despite all are efforts to reach out to Brad he refuses to change his violent ways. I am beginning to wonder how much longer he can be one of us, even as a rookie at this rate. In any case, I too am glad to see you all have returned unharmed. And Ben, I must give you an special thanks for defeating Ganondorf with Link. Well done, despite how much power he gained you refused to give in like a true warrior. And I am also glad you were able to use your new training properly. "

Ben laughs and says," Me to, otherwise I would be annoyed at wasting a year of my life for nothing."

This rises his friends eyebrows as James says,"A year? When did you train for a year? As far as we could tell you only were gone one day. Unless you used some lost forbidden time magic to travel time something is off."

Cloud then looks at Ben and then at the Grand Master and says," Well, I did hear the masters talking about a place where the Grand Master trains where the rules of time and space are different. I guess there is some truth to this room of spirit and time after all. "

Ben sweet drops and scratches the back of his head as he says," Well, you see Cloud, it's kind of. "

Myers laughs and says," Oh it's all right Ben, I trust everyone here with my secret method. Your correct Cloud, I took Ben to train in a special area where he could train in a year yet only be gone a day to us. As you can all tell it seemed to have work."

Hiryuumon looks at Ben and says," So just what did you do for a whole year boss? Master Myers must have left some pretty awesome insurrections if you were able to do them on your own!"

Ben just smiles and says," Well, he did teach me how to do his moves like the Kaio Ken and a few other Kai sage arts. However, for the whole time after he left the way I mastered them was left up to me."

Myers nods and says,"Yes, it is important to learn how to do things from others. But in the end only one 's self can realize how to truly bring out one's true fighting potential. Glad you were able to master it Ben, you still have far to go till you reached your limit. Just remember what you are striving for, and those that you must protect, and you will be able to reach your dreams."

Ben smiles at the leader of the Enji before turning to Lacus and saying," Thanks, I will someday."

Myers then looks at Yuri and the others and says,"Ah, so you must be Yuri Lowell, Princess Estelle, and all the others who virulently defended your world from evil. Greetings, if you have not guessed it yet I am one of the founders of the Enji Knights and its current leader Rodimus Myers. I welcome all of you to our order. I hope you are prepared for what is in store though, because this is not something that can be taken lightly. You must know that by joining the order you're putting your life on the line."

Yuri chuckles and reacts with a crafty," Does not sounds so bad, I have been doing that for years."

Myers looks at Yuri and says," Ah yes, so your Yuri Lowell? I heard your report. Can't say I approve of your methods of distributing justice. Still, you have shown you can still be an Enji, if you work on that reckless behavior. Understand? After all, no pressure but you are going to be watched till we can trust you. "

Yuri laughs nervously and says," I get it you don't trust me. Still I do thank you guys for not just throwing me up in a fancy high tech cell in an instant for my crimes. "

Myers chuckles and says," Well, as long as people give an effort to change I am not going to give hope on anyone just because of his or her past errors."

Yuri laughs and says," You have that same warm look in your eye that I got in my old commander Niren. You seem like a leader I can trust. All right, I'll give it a shot. After all, if you and Cloud were able to make Ben in too such a powerful swordsmen, I wonder what it will do to me. "

Ben laughs and says," Well, more than anyone it was my cousin Max who really taught me the basics of fighting and magic. Still, Cloud Sensei and Master Myers plus all the others really helped me become the Enji I am today."

Karol looks at Cloud and says," With all these people and all the things they must know it does not seem that hard to imagine why! I mean look at Cloud! The way he swings that giant sword around, even two at once! He must have been the top fighter on his world! "

Ben then says," Well, Cloud did use to be a first class SOLDIER in his home world so it is no question about his skills. "

Cloud sighs and says;" Well, not exactly."

Ben sees Aeris and Tifa giggle and Ben is embarrassed as he says,"Oh right, forgot about the whole Sephiroth thing."

Judith then says, "Sephiroth? Is he your master?"

Karol then says," Wow! He must be even more awesome then you Cloud! Is he one of the masters? Huh?"

Seeing Cloud's face build up with dismay Ben sweet drops again and says,"Er, not really, more like archenemies and the biggest threat from his world. Um, let's just say it's another long story."

Yuri then says," Man, you guys and your long stories, care to fill us in?"

Cloud looks away and says," Not interested."

Yuri then sighs and says," Oh well, I guess I will have time for that later."

Myers then nods and says," Indeed you will. But, if you would all fallow me I would like to begin your official introduction to the Enji temple before we start your entrance exams. "Estelle looks excited and says,"

Oh, this sounds fun! See you all later!"

Myers then says," Ben, and you all. You all worked hard,Cecil all ready volunteered to fill in the mission details so take the rest of the day of. I'll see you all later. So for everyone but the newcomers, dismissed!"

Myers then walks of and Yuri says," Well, looks like I did not finish all my tests after all. Looks like I'll see you in a while Ben. Still, thanks for this."

Ben smiles and says, No problem. See you guys later, hopefully all as new member's hehe."

With that the former members of Brave Vesperia fallow the leader of the Enji and Aeris says,"It's always nice to make new friends. And the stronger the Enji Knights become the greater chance we have in succeeding to making everyone's hopes come true."

Cloud nods and says," Little by little, we are all clearing the darkness away from the light. At least we have come this far. "

Aeris smiles and says," Don't worry Cloud, I know Zack is happy at all we are doing."

Cloud smiles and looks at her while saying,"Thanks Aeris. "Tifa looks anxious for a moment and goes in front of Cloud as she says,"

Er, so Cloud, now that your back, you want to do something? "

The man with the shiny blue eyes just says," I guess, why, is today something important?"

Tifa just says," No, it's just, I feel like doing something together."

Cloud shrugs and says," I guess."

Doug yawns and blurts out," Man, I feel like taking a nap. Then some training, then some but kicking at the training grounds."

Ben just looks up and says," Er, sounds good to me. It would be nice to insure Moz I am still in one piece. Still, I feel too hungry to sleep yet. I guess I'll have some lunch."

Lacus leans over and says," Oh really? I have not eaten myself. If you want we can go together."

Ben is shocked at this and says," Really? But, I thought you were going with Brad, er, not that I don't mind having lunch with you."

Lacus sighs and says,"Oh, since Sabin looked rather mad, and since Brad caused another Genji to be sent to the medical ward in a match, after the last four, I think his punishment is going to be a long one."

Ben chuckles and says,"You think Brad would learn by now that its frowned upon to beat his fellow comrades to near death. "

Lacus looks sad and unleashes a remorseful,"I would have hoped to. But, lately Brad has become even more rash, defiant, and violent in his actions, and even I can barely get through to him lately. Ever since you all have become Enji and he was left behind because of his behavior actions he has blamed it on you, Ezan, the masters, everyone. He just won't expect that his way of doing things is not looked well by many. I thought Brad would listen more, but, less of the man I use to see of him shows up each day."

Ben just thinks hard for a moment before smiling and saying,"Well, can't say I knew the man you think he is, but, I can say it's not your fault. Come on, I am sure a nice dessert will cheer you up. "

Lacus smiles and says," Thanks Ben."

With that the two, along with Hiryuumon, Yuna, Collette and a few others go to eat. With this Ben has a present rest of the day. He has a nice lunch with Lacus, and the two talk about their latest missions in detail. After an hour and a half of fun the rest of the day goes smoothly.

We now move the story along by fast forwarding to Ben going to dinner. He is now exiting out of the elevator closest to his room with Hiryuumon and Moz. He then sees Zidane and a few others and Zidane sees him before saying,"Ah hey Ben! Looks like you're hungry to! "

Ben smiles and says," Yah, that and I heard that they were giving out free gift cards to enter the first ten to enter the dining hall haha."

The tailed warrior walks over and gives Ben a high five before saying,"Ah, so you were tipped off to huh? Beans, and I thought my connections with the moogle network gave me a edge. "

Moz then fly's on to Ben's head and says,"Good thing I am good friends with the head of the moogle network Kupo. Sorry Zidane, but Ben could use a free gift card or two. "

Zidane laughs and says,"Oh well, if we hurry we can steal the prize before it's too late! Hah, don't worry I just mean getting there before the others. "

The group then begin running through the hall way and Ben says,"So Zidane, I assume since you're here in one piece I guess you, Senel, Squall and Ezan are back to being a deadly strike force. "

Zidane shrugs and says," More or less. However Ezan has not been the same ever since he rejoined then team. He seems even more distant then he use to be. "

Ben looks shocked and says," You mean he talks even less? "

Zidane laughs and reacts with a slick," Hard to believe right? He just listened to what his orders were and crushed the bad guys so fast they did not know what hit him. Squall had to order him to stop his attacks before he killed everyone! It was like he was out for blood with people he never met!

Glad I was not making him mad that time. He almost seemed mad at everyone but was restraining himself."

The brown haired man raises a eyebrow before responding with a curious," Maybe he is just annoyed with the whole Kira situation? I know I wish I could hack in to him myself at the moment. He did use us as his pawns, and was ready to discard us as soon as he no longer needed us. Plus the fact that he was so strong, and had somehow mastered the powers of both light and darkness even after becoming so twisted. My desire to never lose to him again was what drove me on the most in my training."

Zidane just looks ahead and says,"Maybe, he is jealous that you got the special training from Master Myers? "

Ben laughs and quickly responds with," I doubt it. I mean, when has Ezan ever showed interest, or jealously in anything?"

Zidane then laughs and says," Heh, your right. I bet he just would like to train his own way anyway. I mean, he does not really like others telling him what to do so I am sure it suits him just find. Come on, let's try and get there before anyone else so we can, Whoa!"

The group is just about to enter the door, when all of a sudden they find Ezan in front of them! The sliver haired warrior is as annoyed as Zidane says and Ben says,"Opps, sorry Ezan, did not see you. Though, it would be a wise idea to not stand in front of the door. "

Ezan just looks at Ben and the others and reacts with a icy," What are you all doing acting so carelessly? Acting like that will get you killed like the fools you are. "

Zidane then rolls his eyes," Relax Ezan, we are just going to dinner, not fighting or anything."

The sliver haired man responds with a bitter chuckles before responding with," Your always so careless Zidane. Life is always a battle, and if you let your guard down for a moment it will cost you everything."

Zidane sighs and says,"You take things way to seriously, even more then Amarant, Steiner and Squall combined! You should really learn to relax or it will drive you batty!"

Ben then looks concerned and says," What is wrong Ezan? I can tell, something is bugging you. "

Ezan laughs and says,"Your concern is misplaced Ben Auro. There is no need to worry about me. After all, you should be worrying about yourself!"

Ezan then unsheathes his sword so fast that it's like a blur and a startled Ben barely has time to avoid dodging Ezan's sudden strike !

Ezan sees this and just throws out a hostile," Your reactions have improved. "

Ben sweets a little as a startled Moz jumps of his head as he says,"Good thing to or my head might be rolling around! What do you think you're doing Ezan? A little extreme for a test you think?"

Ezan just puts his Soul Eater away and narrows his eyes before muttering a annoyed," Always acting so carefree, that is why you will never be able to surpass me."

Zidane rubs his head and says,"No need to be so smug Ezan. In fact, you're being arrogant since with Ben's new moves he seems to be on your level. "

This strikes a chord and Ezan glares at them while saying,"Don't be idiotic. I am a super elite warrior, one who has trained my entire life to have unmatched skills! I admit you are a worthy comrade, but that still puts you far below me in terms of skill!"

Ben just sighs and says," I see your memory is not something you excel at Ezan. Because, then you would not have forgotten that I outmatched you when you were fallowing Kira's orders in Outer Heaven."

Ezan then looks furious and bursts out a venomous," You fool! Think that was all I could do? The difficult situation prevented me from going all out; otherwise I would have crushed you!"

Ben's digimon partner gets mad and says,"No need to be a sour loser Ezan! The boss beat you fair and square, get over it!"

This causes Ezan to take out his Soul Eater blade again and his Sharingan eyes form again as he says,"If you all need a proper demonstration in superiority then I will be happy to resolve the dispute. Come Ben Auro, let's settle are rivalry now!"

Ben sighs and retorts with a uneasy," Er, right now? Sure it can't wait just a bit? "

Ezan is dumbfounded at Ben's responded and says,"You would turn down my challenge? "

Ben then says," Rest assured I would love to settle the score between are rivalry. However, I really would like to eat first. Plus, I should hurry to get those tickets. Ah, in fact I am tired today, how about tomorrow?"

Ezan then get's so mad his magic energy explodes and nearly blows the others back as he gives Ben a animosity filled glare,"You're in no position to act like that in front of me!"

He then flash steps above Ben and goes to punch Ben, but the welder of the Star Sword quickly flash steps himself to dodge the strike as his rival's punch shatters the ground! Ben just looks at Ezan and firmly says," Look Ezan. I don't know what is going on with you but I am not going to be pressured to do anything till I am ready! You look tired, get some sleep Ezan. You never know when we will have to fight again."

With that he just sighs before walking away, and the others fallow as Zidane says,"You're not usually this messed up Ezan, get a hold of yourself. If you're feeling so angry then talk to someone or something."

Ezan does not respond, and just remains emotionless as he sees them leave. After a few seconds he looks at his own sword, and looks at the crater he made as he says," Ben Auro, when, how did he get so strong? Damn him!"

With that he punches the ground so hard that the ground shakes as he says,"Talk? What is there to talk about? Talking about my situation over and over again will never change anything. Things were not suppose to unfold like this. How could someone like him progress so rapidly? When he first joined the Enji, he was nothing more than a hopeless clown without an ounce of talent who could barely cast a successful magic spell! And yet, as far as the difference was between us back then, now as infuriated as it is to admit, the situation is almost reversed!

But, this should not be able to even happen! I am the super elite, and he is just the one whose powers are fueled by the celestial ones alone! To be out classed by him, even if he is indeed chosen to weld the Star Sword and has access to Grand Master Myers's secret training methods and moves. I should still be able to outperform him regardless! I am from the Kaiba family, the family that has the best fighting potential in the Lylat Kingdom! I spent my entire life devoting everything to becoming the supreme warrior! Even if my father disgraced himself by misguiding fallowing Kira's twisted ideals of justice, even he was not fully tainted since he was not aware of Kira's true intentions. I, I fight for the side of justice, so why do I? No, could it be?"

He then thinks about his previous confronting with Leaxeus, along with his last encounter with Diz and thinks about the truth about his possible true father and says,

" No, there is no way I will expect that truth. Such a possibility is not allowed. AH!"

He then feels a sharp pain in his head and hears someone say," Ah, trying to deny the truth even now Ezan? Take it from me, the harder you try, the more you will be consumed form it. But it does not matter to me, because the time is coming soon when your pain will end, as soon as I override it when I fully take control at last!"

Ezan then yells out a frustrated," Quite! Even if you're more than a hallucination Sephiroth, you can't stop me either!

Still, it's clear what I need. I need more power. But, how? Even through Kira's methods, in which I was able to preformed better then Ben, it still did not close the gap. No, there must be some way, and I will find it. I am a super elite warrior, if I am not the best, then I am nothing."

With that Ezan storms of, to the castles library.

We then fast forward once more to an hour and a half later. Ezan has all ready looked up several books, all on the Kaiba family fighting style, all known research on the powers of the Sharingan, and the history of Ansem Zeon, and the Uchiha clan, form his world. As it begins to rain outside and after carefully looking over what he is trying to find out. Ezan just looks over one detail, one recent book that talked about his real mother, Naminé Uchiha ! He then looks at one of the mirror's on the bookshelf's and says," I see now, the way to get what I need to surpass Ben Auro. I must confront it, no matter what stands before me. Because, I have to surpass Ben Auro and all others to achieve my destiny as the most powerful warrior of all. Because, if I can't fulfill that, then what was it all for? No, I will grasp's my rightful place, no matter what."

As lighting strikes outside the windows Ezan slams the book shut and is on the move once more.

And as he does his rival is also looking outside the window in his room. Since its late Ben is almost ready to go to bed and his digimon pal is all ready snoring. Moz sees Ben is not sleeping yet and says,"

What is the matter Ben? Dinner causing you stomach problems again?"

Ben shakes his head and responds with," Don't worry Moz, nothing too bad. I was just thinking about how Ezan was even more hostile than usual. And all I did was just look at him. And more than anything I can't believe he was the one demanding a rematch. The whole first year I had to struggle just to get him to notice me."

Moz then lands on Ben's lap and says," Maybe Ezan is jealous that you have become such a good warrior and that he is forced to respect you now."

Ben leans on his bed's pillow and says," Most likely, from what Zidane Senel, and the others at dinner told me tonight and from before he was in a foul mood for a while just after being forced to admit he tied with me in are match and had to admit he thought of me as his rival.

Ezan, he sure is big on pride. But, it's different then Brad, it's more than him just being sure of himself. Brad is just so self absorbed and loves to knock people down. But Ezan, it's more like he has to be the best. He is form the Kaiba family, and even Max use to talk sometimes about how great fighters they all were for a long time.

Ezan never shows it, but there must be a lot of pressure on him to live up to his family's legacy and expectations. And unlike me, he never even had a choice but to live this path. And yet he seemed to be dealing with all that pressure a lot better than I was able to.

Still, I wonder how long we have to fight together till he admits we are friends. I know that even if he never admits it, by now we are. If it's one thing I learned since getting here, that did not have to do with my fighting, it's that we are all in this together.

Fighting alone with the fate and weight of everything on your shoulders can be unbearable. Luckily thanks to my friends I don't have to, and neither dose Ezan even if he is too stubborn to admit it. Yawn, well, I'll worry about figuring out how to get to Ezan tomorrow. Hopefully he will just get over it with sleep. Good night Moz, set the alarm for, huh?"

He is about to lay down and go to bed when all of a sudden he sees a massive purple light outside!

Moz sees that and says,"

What was that Kupo? It did not look like a lightning bolt!"

Ben tries to figure out where it came from and says," That's for sure. From here, it looked like it came from the hanger bay. That purple light, could it be? Nah must have been a engine malfunction. I don't sense any dark or new magic powers, so I'll worry about it tomorrow. Sure one of the Cid's will be causing a ruckus about it anyway. Good night. "

With that Ben goes to sleep, but little does he know that what he witnessed was a far worse situation then a malfunction!

It is in fact what Ben first thought but dismissed, Ezan firing a magic blast! We now turn our view to the hanger bay, where Ezan has just blasted the door down with his Light Divider energy blast! His fellow Enji are on night duty for attacks, and they are shocked to see the sliver haired man doing such a thing. And his own teammate Senel, along with his friends from his home world, the hammer welding mage Will Raynard, the spear welding red haired former bandit Moses Sandor, and the small ninja like man who grew up living with talking beavers called Oresoren named Jay!

Ezan is looking deadly serious as Senel says," Ezan? What the hell do you think you're doing? "

Ezan remains cold as he responds with a motionless," It's simple; I need to take barrow a ship to travel to another world."

Senel eyes his teammate carefully before he responds with," You know no single Enji can just take a ship without proper authorization first! "

Will sees how obsessed Ezan looks before he adds a curious," Do you have a special mission assignment or something Ezan?"

Ezan then looks down on his hand, and then grasps it tightly as he says,"Not exactly, but it's something I must be done. So please stand aside, I would not wish this to progress in to a messy situation. But, "He gets in to his fighting stance and his sword glows with purple energy" I will not let anything get in my way!"

Moses then gets annoyed and says," Sound's like you have a major attitude problem! I am sick of you acting so high and mighty, even Jay is less stuck up then you!" His shorter friend sighs and says," Regardless of the stupid bandit's poor way of expression it, you are acting odd Ezan. "

Senel then grasps his fists tightly before he says," I don't want to resort to this Ezan. But, if you're not going to explain yourself you will have to answer yourself!"

Ezan just rises his sword and throws out a cold," Sorry, another time."

With that he sees Jay, Senel and Moses charge at him but in a flash he is gone, and is behind them a instant later before he fires a powerful Light Divider attack that blasts the trio through the wall! He sees Will preparing a spell but he flash step's right in front of him and chop's him right in the neck to knock him right out!

He then makes sure they are all unconscious as he turns to the nearest small craft and dashes quickly over as he says," Now, I have to leave before anyone senses the disturbance in the magical force. With my clearance once I clear the castle I can make the jump to light speed without any problems. Senel, I apologize for that. But, I must fulfill my true destiny, no matter what. "

With that Ezan swiftly enters the ship and has it engage in an emergency take off! Since he took a small, one man ship made for stealth missions he is easily able to exit the planet, and warp to his destination!

It does not take long for the other Enji to be aware of Ezan's sudden departure, in fact it only takes ten minutes till the Enji Knights Ingus, Edgar and Shirley finds his unconscious comrades and sounds the alarm! Of course this wakes Ben, and all the others up! At once Ben is in the nearest briefing room only five minutes later, and finds Doug, James, Cloud, Aeris, Kratos, Tifa, Squall, and many others! Doug is yawning as he sees everyone and says,"So, are we under attack or what? Because anyone who is annoying enough to attack now is going to be kicked out of here faster than he or she can say hello!"

Squall just sighs and says,"No, it's not an attack, it's a more, delicate problem."

Cloud looks worried and says," What do you mean Squall?"

The man with the scar on his face looks disturbed and says,"Someone was conformed taking a stealth ship and braking out of the castle before leaving the planet. And we just received reports from Senel after Rinona and the others healed his and the others injuries. It was Ezan who knocked them all out."

Everyone is shocked and Zidane says," No way! I mean I knew Ezan was acting odd lately, but I did not think he was this of his rocker! "

Ben then looks alarmed and says," No, I can't believe Ezan has betrayed us! He, could not have been a mole for Kira could he?"

Squall shakes his head and says," Calm down Ben, I don't think Ezan has betrayed us. Otherwise he would have killed the others. Still, he is not giving us many options to think otherwise. "James then says," Do we know where he went?"

Squall then says," Of course all are ships have homing beacons, but Ezan knew that and disabled it. Still, we might be able to trace the ion trail and path of transportation if we can get a lock on his ship's signature. We are all ready working on it. Better get ready to leave everyone. Whether or not Ezan has really betrayed us, we can't afford to have him just run off."

Zidane then looks annoyed and says,"Damn it Ezan, why you have to act all funny right when we were recovering from Kira's betrayal? Everyone is jumpy enough as it is lately!"

Ben then looks determined and says,"Ezan, I never really understood how you thought, but now I am just clueless. Still, no matter what you are up to, I won't let you just disappear! I had enough people I know just leave, and I won't let another friend just go over to the enemy!"

Aeris then smiles and says,"Don't worry Ben, we all know how you feel, and we will all make sure we do as much as possible to find Ezan before this situation gets any worse. "

With that everyone gets to work to figure out just where there comrade went, but as they try to pin down the destination of the super elite warrior' s ship, little do they know that someone dose know the location, and it's not anyone that is friendly to the Enji!

We now travel a bit in time and space, to another world, the world of Vana'diel ! In fact we turn are view to one of the planet's factions military bases. Were a solder is about to report something to his leader! This solder salutes to his superior in the command chair and says," Lord Nag'molada! We have confirmation of a ship entering are planet's hyper space lane! "

The man he was talking to, a middle aged man looking important in a fancy royal outfit with blond hair and an odd eye patch, the man named Nag'molada rises! He then says," Is there any indemnifications that tell where the ship belongs to? "

The solder says," Negative, all of those kind of things were not able to be confirmed. However, we were able to figure out where it entered the hyper space lane form. It was from Corneria, which means it could be a Lylat ship, maybe even an Enji!"

Nag'molad chuckles and leans over as he says," A Enji you say? Perfect. Make sure the planetary defenses do not bother it, and allow it to land.

"His subornments' are shocked and the one who reported it says," My lord, you really want a possible Enji to land down on are world? "

Nag'molada chuckles as he rises from his chair and says,"It's nothing to worry about, it's what he said would happen. Monitor the ship once it lands and inform me about its every move if possible. I have a meeting to attend, make sure no one else is given this info, understand? "

He sees his men nervously nod and he exits, and heads right away to his office, however someone is all ready sitting in his chair, and turns around to show that it's none other than Vexen! However Nag'molada is not even surprised as the member of the Dark Enji chuckles and says,"So, he is coming even faster then we predicted eh? Fascinating, it seems he is even more attracted to the lure then I thought. Ah, and that means my experiments chance of success has just gone up even higher! "

The native of Vana'diel chuckles and says,"I see even after all these years and even becoming a member of this Organization of Dark Enji cannot hunger your lust for research Vexen. Still, I can't say I expected you and your comrades to show up at my base out of no ware and propose such a plan. You better not be setting me up Vexen. Even you and your fellow elite members will not be forgiven for trying to use me as a tool in some sort of game!"

Vexen laughs and responds with a amused," Don't be absurd Nag'molda. I value the things you had done for me over the years, because I know you value what I did for you, like get you this far thanks to me, Weil, and yours plot for instance. I assure you, helping me and the Organization secure Ezan will also be beneficial to you. After all, both of us want to see if Ezan can fulfill his true destiny.

Because if he can then me and the others will have the perfect warrior of darkness who can unleash the true powers of the Sharingan on our side, and you will be able to unlock this planet's true lost power, and make yourself the world's true leader and try and challenge Weil Zabi for the president of the Zeon Federation correct? I to would like to see for myself if the legends are really true, so you don't have to worry about me backstabbing you old friend."

Nag'molda laughs and responds with a smug," You are good for words for someone who is so obsessed with research. Heh, so this is the true son of Ansem Zeon? How amusing, to think all these years he had a heir right in front of our eyes, I wonder if even he was aware of it. Bah, with a man so obsessed with his dreams I doubt he could touch home to reality long enough to realize it! Ansem, despite his skills he always was oblivious to what was around him.

Always trying to create things that can never be hoped to be formed! He really thought he could create the Zeon Federation, and thought he could really break away from the Lylat Kingdom peacefully! And its even more ironic since he became this worlds leader by unification through his unimaginable power, skill, and magic. However, despite how powerful he was he was all to trusting, and that's why Weil Zabi is now in charge.

However, Weil is also oblivious to reality. He dares to challenge the Zannacross Empire, the wrath of the supreme god of all darkness himself for the supreme ruler of all!? He is going to get us all killed! All ready most of the Zeon army is in ruins. That is why, I must have the power to properly overthrow Weil as president. Then, I will make a offer to the Zannacross Empire. Surely, if they see we are worthy of the new era we will be allowed to exist!"

Vexen then chuckles and says," I see no reason why that would not make sense. But you're already on a phase several steps ahead. If we can't find Ezan, then none of that will happen."

Nag'molda looks annoyed and says," You see far to confident consideration how the situation can go down. You do realize that if he really has the potential that you think he has, then even the entire military force on this planet might not be able to stop Ezan?"

Vexen chuckles again and says," Oh don't worry about that. Think I would try and restrain Ezan alone after what he did to poor Leaxeus? Please!"

With that he moves back and laughs again as he reveals that behind him is his fellow members Xaldin, Marluxia, Saix and Zexion! Vexen 's old ally is taken back and the other members being there this whole time as he says,"I see, so you truly are serious in making sure things go in your favor eh?"

Saix just walks forward and says," The Organization, will not be disrespected by the Enji again. Ezan will join us, or I will rip his heart out and watch him die.

Nag'molda laughs and says,' Fair enough. Come; let us see just how long it will take. "

With that the native man of Vana'diel goes to instruct his solders to put everything in to tracking Ezan's movements and we now turn back to Ezan himself.

Ezan knows it's more then a little suspicious that he is able to go through the planet's defenses after exiting hyperspace a bit later. But he dose not care, he knows he has gone too far to turn back now. That is why he lands his ship in the area designated as Ghelsba Mountain .

After quickly checking for any locals he gets out of the stealth shuttle and lands on the ground, before taking one look around and looking at the night sky and the planet's moons, one half destroyed as he says,"

So, this is the world of Vana'diel ? I can feel it, the air is dense in magical power. No wonder this world is one of the most favored of the Zeon Federation. Still, I can sense it, the thing that has been calling out to me. If what the reports and history books in the library were true, then at last I will find the truth! I have come this far, I have no choice but to fallow this path to the end! After all, this is my, huh? Show your self or die!"

His magic energy flares up and sure enough he hears a bunch of voices laugh as he sees several large humanoid's with ape like faces. They are all one of the planet's many races, the Galkas! Ezan can at once tell that they look rather like bandits and his suspicions are conformed as they all look rather amused and the one that looks like a leader says,"

What do we have here? A ship? Look brat, this is ARE turf! No one can walk among theses parts without paying a toll! So unless you want trouble pay up!"

Ezan just sighs and says,"Hump, its you oblivious trash that are walking in to trouble. I will spar you if you leave this instant. But if you bother me further then be ready to pay the price."

The leader of the Galka bandits laughs before taking out his large sword and saying,'You some sort of official hotshot? WE don't care much for the law here, we do things are own way! Looks like ill have to teach you some manners!"

Ezan then has his sword glow and has his Sharingan eye's form as he mutters out a scornful,"You truly are clueless, but you threw away your last chance."

His aggressor smashes the ground with his large fist as he says,"Think you can stop me runt! I know how to fight better then you think! Come on, let's go!"

Ezan just sighs and says," That's funny, you don't feel anything remarkable?"

The bandit responds with ,"What are you talking about? Think I am scared of you? Come on, ill let you have the first attack!"

Ezan just chuckles before he holds up his hand, and to all the bandits horror they see Ezan is holding there boss's hand! It seems Ezan slashed so fast that no one even realized it, and the bandit leader did not even feel the blow! This freaks them all out and the leader's eyes budge before he says,"

What the hell? Ow! You dare sneak attack me punk? Your dead! Huh? "

He is horrified to see that Ezan has all ready flash stepped on the larger beings shoulder with his sword ready to slash as Ezan says,"Your dreaming, the likes of you can not do one single thing to a being of my caliber."

With that Ezan at once decapitates the Gulka bandit's head of! As his body falls to the ground Ezan coldly jumps of as the others stare at him and one of them says,"

He iced the boss in seconds! He can't be human!"

Another one points his sword at him and says,' He must be one of those Enji freaks! Warrior of light huh, what the hell are you doing here? You're deep in the Zeon Federation's territory, and you're not welcomed here!"

Ezan just glares at them and saying," I am here to find something that is important to me. I will find what I am looking for, regardless of your help. "

They all step back and the middle one says,"Your crazy, the only thing our going to find here is your death!"

Ezan then feels a great pain on his head and grasps it, before his magic energy goes out of control and the ground shakes! He then has a deadly serious expression form before he yells out,"I won't let anyone or anything interfere with my fate. Anyone that tries to deny me, my true destiny, will be terminated!"

With that Ezan's energy explodes, and dark flames bursts out of him, and he seems to be unaware as a single black wing forms out of his left shoulder as he points his blade at the thugs, before the black fire erupts beneath them and consumes the other bandits and incinerate them all instantly! As the black flames rage on Ezan just calms down and says,"Enough of this, I can't waste time on trash. I feel it, an energy source in synch with my own. Its, what I am searching for. I see it now, once I unlock it, I will have the power to surpass Ben Auro, and the masters and prove I am the one true supreme warrior! I will prove at last that the chosen one is me!"

He then takes of in to the air with a flight spell and bursts at full speed to where he is sensing the energy from!

And as he dose, another presence is watching him with glee, from with in his own mind! Its of course the sprit of Sephiroth, once more gaining power, and ready to overtake Ezan's mind and body! The long haired man's sprit is watching Ezan with glee as he says,' Yes, that's it Ezan, unleash the power for me like the puppet you are. It took me longer then I expected to ward of the effects of those Sol Emeralds you used to hopelessly try and seal me forever with. But you can't stop my spirit, the spirit of the true chosen one of this cosmos! I can sense it to Ezan, this planet has vast power, and the place were you are going to is the pinnacle of this planet's power! While it's not quite like the Life-Stream, I think I can make use of this power to convert it for me, and bring forth my ultimate return!

Yes, while it's not the place I intended to return from, I will make this world my new promised land! And then, I will happily bring the citizens of this world take part in the celebration of the new god. It's a shame you have defied me so diligently Ezan. Because now I can't trust you, and will erase you entirely . And then at last, I will be able to have a proper reunion with those that denied me my ascension time and again. Cloud, the Cetra, and those other foolish warriors of light, prepare, to taste once and for all the agony and despair of those that stand in the way of the will of Sephiroth!"

Ah, before we end, first another round of Author's notes. Now, if you're not aware of it yet this world is based on the world of the online Final Fantasy 11. However, I have never played the game, due to being a online game, which I am not found of with the paying and all. Even so I wanted to make all of the Final Fantasy main games part of my story and so this is how I did that. It's also why the events of this world will mostly be involved with things related to my story and not a semi retelling of the game's story like I sort of just did for Tales of Vespria.

As long as I manage not to anger the FF 11 fans I guess it will be a success lol. I know this was more of a set up chapter mostly, but rest assured, the madness will resume shortly muhahaha. Let's see, I guess that's it for now. Like always, thanks for the reviews. Liked of course to see more, and till next time.
