Normally I get worried when I don't see many reviews on my new chapters. But with the site being crazy the last few days, its understandable since nothing could be done. Luckily its working again just as I got this done! Now, before I jinx myself lets begin!

Chapter 103: To Be or be Nobody. Unveiling the Sharingan 's True Gaze!

Last time in tales of the Cosmic Wars Ben thought he could get some rest after defeating Ganondorf with Link and the others, but he was wrong! While managing one day of rest, and even having some time to hang out with Lacus, his rival was not nearly as in a good mood as him!

Ezan seemed to be suffering rival syndrome in the leagues of those with such severe cases as Vegeta, the true Seto Kaiba and Sasuke!

Seeing Ben, someone who came from a normal family with no special training besides Max's all of a sudden have surpassed him, someone who was trained since early childhood to be the ultimate fighter, has caused Ezan to have sever doubts in his own destiny. And his feelings of anxiety, inferiority , and depression are magnified even more by the spirit of Sephiroth twisting his emotions to hope and speed up his own return! Ezan then tried to look in to the castle's liberty, and through throughout sources, was overwhelmed with a desire to search the planet of Vana'diel !

While still refusing to expect the rumors that Ansem Zeon might be his true father, regardless he decided to go to the world that is deep in the Zeon Federation, and at last get to the bottom of his true origins, regardless if it was ok with his fellow Enji Knights! He showed the depths of his desire by blasting through the docking bay, knocking out those that stopped him, and commandeering a top speed stealth transport and at once entering Hyper space! As soon as he landed on the world he could feel something calling him, and made it brutally clear to the local Galka bandits that anyone that stood in his way would be shown no mercy! As he speeded of to the source of this energy, little did he know that all of this was pushing him deeper in to Vexen 's trap!

The scientist of the organization of dark Enji seems to be pulling everything he has to once and for all try and turn Ezan to their side, one way or another! Not only has he enlisted himself with his old comrade form this world, the cunning Nag'molda, along with his fellow extremely powerful cohorts, Xaldin, Zexion, Marluxia, and Saix!

Just as it seems Ezan is walking in to a bad enough situation, with all of this Sephiroth is prepared to make his move, and once and for all take over Ezan 's body and mind before he begins his quest of revenge against Cloud and the others! Will Ezan be able to once and for all find his true destiny, or succumb to a destiny of darkness that others have planned for him? And can Ben and the others find out just where Ezan is, and get there in time to save him from his own pain, and the pain others wish to inflict on him, the rest of the Warriors of Light, and the universe! It's time to find out so here we go again!


Are chapter begins today back with Ben and the others just a hour after Ezan left, who are now in the command center with the Cid group, and the other " Smart Guys" in order to figure out where Ezan went.

Since Ezan blasted out in a stealth ship, and was clever enough to disable the homing beacon it was not easy to figure out where he went. However, luckily the Enji have some of the smartest people in the cosmos on the case. And after a long tense couple of moments the Cid from the world of Bartz and his friend's was able to find something that would be useful with his grandson Mid and he says," Eureka! I think we might have found are renegade warrior of light! Whew, not an easy task, but I think we have him."

Ben and the others crowd around and Squall says,"Care to explain in a way we can understand ? The sooner we can figure out how to move the better."

Mid then says,"Ill take this one grandpa. You see, we and the others found out Ezan disabled the ship's homing beacon, and normally that would make finding where it went as hard as the old cliché of finding a needled in a hay stack. But to make it simple, we found a way to track where the needle went through the hay! We traced all of the ship's that entered hyper space in the past few hours, and then isolated them in to none public ships. Since there was no movement within the Lylat fleets in the past few hours it made it easier. Now, all we had to do was look in to a energy trails that seemed to be moving in a hurry or erratic. And, we think we were able to lock on to where Ezan went."

Zidane then grins and says,"Then what's the hold up? Show us all ready so we can go drag down that stubborn idiot and snap him out of whatever funk is driving him to this!"

Kratos then looks on the report and presses the button to show the planet that everyone thinks Ezan went to and frowns as he says," That might be a more complicated situation then we would have liked. If the trail is correct, then Ezan is heading for the world of Vana'diel."

Doug scratches his head and reacts with a brash," Vandalia? I know I heard that world some were before."

James then sighs and says," That's because its only one of the major planets of the Zeon Federation Doug. Before Weil Zabi became the president and changed the Zeon capital of Texagrad that use to be its former capital planet. I don't see at all why Ezan would take such drastic measures to get to this world. Doses not seem like him and all. "

Cloud then says," Maybe, it has something to with what that Diz guy said when Garma Kaiba tried to order Ezan to kill us on Outer Heaven?"

Ben then says," It was kind of odd, that Diz guy was acting like he knew him. And when that Diz started talking Garma freaked out. Maybe, it has to do with that?"

Squall just shakes his head and says," Maybe, Ezan likes to keep to himself even more then I use to. He never really tells us what is on his mind. But there clearly was something bothering him, even before he became Kira's apprentice I could tell something was causing him trouble even if he did not show it. I guess I am to blame for this then."

Cloud just shrugs and says,"Ezan seems to not be willing to trust us, even thought we have fought through life and death so many times together. He should know by now that he can count on us. "

Ben then looks determined and says," Ezan, ill open a way through your stubborn isolated mind, and prove even someone form a family of stiff elite warriors can rely on others. Whatever the hell this is, I'll find a way to bring you back on our side. "

Squall sighs and says," That's an overly optimistic outlook. But, I would prefer if we could keep from losing Ezan to the enemy. "

Zidane then grins and adds a enthusiastic," That's right, we will drag Ezan back, force him to admit he is not alone and beat the hell out of the darkness inside of him so we can move on to bigger problems!"

Ben chuckles and says," Then come on, let's hurry up and get on his trail!"

Cloud responds with a composed," Easy Ben, we have to be careful. Ezan's destination is a major Zeon planet, and we are not exactly people they like to see there. It would be better if our presence is seen as less as possible so we don't have a Zeon armada or two trying to prevent are return home."

Cid laughs and reacts with a brash,"Sounds like a bright idea Cloud. Sadly it would be best if you all took the rest of the newly finished stealth ships."

Squall then says," Then let's move soon, we don't have any time to waste here."

Ben then says," I'll go to, I can handle Ezan 's outburst if worse comes to worse."

Doug then looks excited and throws in,"And of course that means we are going to have your back buddy."

Aeris then looks worried and interjects with,"I will come to. Something is not right about all of this, and I fear that a great dark hand is involved in this. The worst part is that I feel that I know that this shadow feels more familiar but I can't just put it together."

Cloud looks at the flower girl with a worried look and says,"You really think so? Well, you're welcome to come of course if you want Aeris. We may need your powers if things turn dire."

Aeris smiles and puts out a kind,"Thanks Cloud. "

Cloud smiles back and Tifa sees this from the sides and she gets upset before walking up to Cloud and says,"I'll be tagging along to. After all the more back up the merrier right Cloud?"

Cloud just is confused and says," Er, of course. "

Tifa reacts by winking fallowed by a energetic," Perfect, then let's get going, we are all ready way behind Ezan as it is!"

With that she puts her arms around Cloud's and drags him out the room and the spiky haired man barely has time to turn his head back to his squad mates as he says," Get everything you need Squad 7 and move out to the hanger bay as soon as you can, whoa!"

With that Tifa has all ready dragged him out of the room and his squad mates have sweet drops form as James says," Er, has anyone noticed that Tifa has been acting a little funnily lately?"

Aeris just smiles and says,"Oh don't worry about it guys. I think Tifa and Cloud have to come to terms with their true feelings."

Ben raises a eyebrow and says," Miss Aeris, does this mean you want Cloud to be with Tifa? I thought, that you two were, you know, close friends."

Aeris walks over to Ben and responds with a melancholy,"Oh we are Ben. I just want Cloud to make sure he finds his true happiness. Just call it a women's thing."

Ben looks uneasy as he reacts with a timid," Well, can't say I am a expert on that. Er, I should be worrying about bigger things now. Ezan, if I just knew what this was all about it would make things easier to understand. Still, weather you like it or not, its time you come to terms where you really stand. Heh, I know it's not a easy thing to do, but, hey why am I talking to myself about this anyway? Bah, ill save it when I see him in person!"

With that Ben gets ready to join the others on a hyper express trip to the world of Vana'diel to try and catch up with their fellow Enji before he does anything that cannot be taken back!

And with that, let's see what Ezan is up to!


We now fast forward a bit in time to where the last chapter ended, with Ezan dashing at full speed to the source of the energy he feels is calling him, and totally either oblivious or uncaring about the dangers around it! We now turn to see Ezan slowing down as he sees a massive structures in front of his eyes. He then says,"This area, it seems to be a structure of importance. And, since the magic energy I feel is getting bigger, this must be the place. Now, best to figure out just what this place is, and how to get in. Ah, it would seem that asking the people around would be little use, since Zeon war machines never could tell directions well."

With that Ezan slowly lands on the ground, and sees that his first impression was correct, as he sees that the area seems to be devoid of people, and only standard Zeon Zaku battle droid's are around! Wither because its night time or because the area if not open to the public does not concern Ezan.

Still, after looking at their movements he deducts that they are not a task force, but seem to be just the area's guards. Testing out his theory he walks forward and goes right up to the entrance, where five Zaku robot's stand guard. The different colored commander type's mono eye glows red before he walks forward and says,"This area is off limits at this point of time. Identify yourself."

Ezan sighs and says," Oh sorry, I seem to have misplaced were I am. Just what is this area? "

The lead guard then has his eye glow green as he says,"Welcome to the grand mausoleum of Sacrarium, a burial ground for many important citizens throe out history from the world of Vana'diel. It's also where the majority of the Uchia clan is buried. However, as of now it is closed off to the public, so thank you and come again. "

Ezan chuckles and says," Tsc, maybe so, but I really must have access in it. "

The robot rotates its head and says," Negative. Lord Nag'molda's orders were that all but top ranking military officials like him or higher can be allowed inside until the orders are lifted."

Ezan just looks dead serious, and takes out his Soul Eater sword before saying," Oh, well, how about an Enji Knight? "

This causes all of the Zaku's eyes to glow red as the lead unit's eye zooms in on Ezan and says," All Enji are to be terminated on sight. Er, who are you again?"

Ezan has his Sharingan eyes form as he answers with a cold," Enji Knight Ezan Kaiba. So, are you going to let me through or not?"

This causes the lead unit to responds with a flat," Reply dose not compute. Enji Knight profile, conformed! Must erase Enji! "

All the Zaku 's raise their arm cannons as they say," Roger rog, AH!"Before they can all even finish aiming at Ezan the sliver haired fighter is all ready on the move, and in the blink of a eye attacks so fast he is able to slash apart all of the zeon drones ! As he lands on the other side of the ground he sees the robotic guards spark before blowing up in unison and Ezan just walks forward as he says,"

Bah, they must not care very much of this place if they keep such a level of security. Still, whoever is in charge of this place might not be aware of the power it contains. It may be useless to him or her, but it's clear now that it's vital for me, and my destiny. "

He then stops and looks at two giant old style doors with a round jewel in its center which clearly seem to be the official entrance to the Sacrarium catacombs. He laughs at the large sigh posted on it with the words forbidden inscribed on it and with a flick of his wrist causes a gust of wind that tears it off. He slowly walks up to the door, and has his eyes glare right at the central jewel of the door. They respond to his Sharingan eyes, and it glows before the jewel opens, along with the door!

Ezan then walks forward and says,' Yes, this is it. The power, that will allow me to surpass Ben Auro once more, and assert myself as the true supreme ultimate fighter. At this point there is no way this power is a mere illusion. I admit, Ben has evolved in to a truly respectable Enji, and perhaps he maybe has a chance of truly fulfilling his prophecy.

However, the title of the number one Enji is mine alone. After all, it's why I exist, therefore I can't allow myself to be outclassed any further! It's the whole meaning of my existence. Ben, Zidane, Squall, even Kira, they all have other roles in their lives. But I, my life has been nothing but to be the perfect super elite solder. If that destiny is a lie, then that would mean all the things I went through, were meaningless."

He then stops, and looks at a statue that shows a apparent great warrior of the Uchiha clan, ones of its founders, Madara, and looks at himself from the reflection the statue brings before saying," All other things are worthless to one who's existence is to remain on the battlefield till his defeat. Because when he is defeated he will die. That is what, father told me. And I spent my whole life believing that. However, as a member of the Kaiba family, I suppose I did not have much of a choice but to accept that."


Ezan then remembers a memory many years ago, and wither you like it or not we are entering flash back mode! This memory is when Ezan is around 13, and it's during the winter months. Ezan is having dinner in his mansion's dining hall, and he is all ready near the end of his meal when Garma enters. Ezan finishes drinking his iced tea as Garma looks at a report his butler left for him, clears his throat and says,"I see you cleared your dinner rather fast Ezan."

Ezan smiles and responds with a excited," Oh hello father! Yes, I was rather hungry, but it's only because I spent all day completing the training you had for me, and I beat them all. Huh, is something the matter father? "

Garma has a stone cold face as he says,"You may have beaten them, but it seemed like rather sloppy work. It seems you got only a A ranking on three of the ten sessions, and I thought I made it clear that I expected you to get a S ranking on every task you were giving son?"

Ezan looks hurt and says," But, father, those session were for true Enji Knights twice my age. The report said I did well just getting that far! Ah!"

In the blink of a eye Garma is in front of him and he has his hand on Ezan's shoulder as he forcefully presses it down and has a blade come out of his top glove right in front of Ezan as he says," It may be considered superb for normal people, but not for you! Never forget Ezan, you're a member of the Kaiba family! Being on the level of a normal person will not be tolerated! You must be superior in every aspect, or you will die like a dog at the hands of your enemies!"

Ezan is startled seeing his father so angry as he responds with a timid," But, I don't have any enemies father!"

Garma responds with a cold sneer," Of course you do! A warrior is destined to never let his guard down or succumb to weakness. Bah, I see I have gotten soft with your training, that's why tomorrow's session I will take part myself, and I will make sure you never get soft again!"

Ezan then says," But, tomorrow is Saturday, and it's nearly time for the holidays. "

Garma quickly lashes back with," Forget it! For now on you will train seven days straight! Kindness, compassion, and the rest, they just weaken the resolve and discipline of an ultimate warrior. Never forget Ezan, as a member of the Kaiba family, you exist solely to bring down judgment on those that disturb order and justice. Wasting time on other things will just case meaningless anguish and suffering to you. Do you understand? "

Ezan nods and responds with a tense,"I understand, I will not fail your expectations."

Garma then calms down and let's go of his grasp as he says," Good, then finish your dinner and go to bed. You will need to save all the rest you need for what I have in store for you tomorrow. Oh?"

He sees a female servant barely older then Ezan's current age enter with a cake enter as she smiles and says,"Are you ready for your dessert sir Ezan? Huh, what the?"

She is shocked to see Garma at once take the tray from her hands as growls out,"No more sweets, it will decay his edge. "


We then fast forward to the end of the next day, were are view is now on Ezan entering his room after his personal training with his father. Garma pulled no punches, having Ezan endure an unending brutal barrages of matches and other tasks that lasted from 5:00am to 12:00 am!

Totally wiped out Ezan collapses instantly on his bed and realizing he has to train tomorrow with his father's men for the same time, and the rest of the month and more filled with the same thing he says,"What is the point, if this is all I ever have to look forward to? If all I get for enduring this pain is more pain, then why bother? Huh, is someone there?"

He hears the door open slowly, and sees the same female servant from before enter! She then looks nervous and says,"Er, hello sir Ezan. Sorry to disturb you, but I just wanted to make sure your ok from all the fighting."

Ezan just looks up and responds with a somber," Of course I am ok, it's what my purpose in life is for."

The maid gives of a nervous laugh and says,"Yes, we know you are working very hard, all of us do. That is why I am so glad I get to know you in person. You're working very hard to become a hero to help protect all of us!"

Ezan just looks at her and says," A, hero?"

She nods and fallows up with," That is right, the leader of the Enji Knights, Grand Master Myers, saved my parents from terrorists a year ago, and with all the hard work you are doing I bet you can become even greater than him! So please don't give up!"

Ezan then says," You really mean that?"

She smiles and gives out a reassuring,"Of course! So don't forget, you may think your suffering, but it will all pay off as long as you don't give up."

Ezan then sits up and says,"Well, if you and all the others think I can, then I won't give up."

She smiles, and leaves a cookie on the edge of his desk while saying,"

I am sure your mother will be proud. Good night sir."

With that she closes the door, and Ezan went to sleep. Ezan then snaps out of his flash back before he laughs in a mocking tone and says,"Ah yes, it was not long after that, that father had her, and all the other maids similar to my age were fired and replaced with droids. Hah, but while I was furious and resentful at him for doing so, I soon saw he was wise to do that.

Wasting time on such meaningless emotions, a true warrior does not need something as trivial as love or friendship. They just delude our will and power. It's because I had clarity and focus that I was able to come this far! But, it's not enough. To become even stronger, to surpass my limits, I have come this far. And now, it's time I unveil the last wave that is hiding from me my absolute potential. Well then, let's see what this energy truly is."

With that he dashes through the door, ready for anything that dares confronts him, or at least almost anything!"

However little dose Ezan know that while the innards of the deep burial grounds looks like it was not used for some time, it was made to appear that way by orders of Nag'molad !


The Zeon commander is overlooking Ezan 's progress, with Vexen and the other dark warriors overlooking him!

The eye patch wearing ally of Vexen sees Ben's rival he says,"So Vexen, you're sure it's ok to just let him find out the information?"

Vexen chuckles and responds with a calm," Patience Nag'molad. It will make things easier for us if he learns just who he was truly destined to be."

Marluxia is sitting on a chair behind Vexen and chuckles while saying,"Ah, it will be amusing to see if his mind can handle it. Ah, he would be better of being free from the chains of memories. Heh, but then again its is more beneficial to us to have him shackled to the painful truth. After all, it's much easier to control a pawn who has a broken heart."

Xaldin strokes his chin and adds a keen," Well, it will all be naught if the lad cannot survive the way to the truth. It seems there are some powerful defenses left here by those that came before."

Nag'molad laughs and says," Oh yes, there are some of the planet's most powerful monsters locked away here. Ansem made it very hard for anyone to dare and try find out his biggest shame after all. If Ezan is too caught up in his emotions he might just find himself dead. That would be a waste."

Saix then closes his eyes as he sips a drink of some sort and throws in a even,"If Ezan is indeed worthy enough to be of use to our goals, and then such opponents should be no problem anyway. He must prove he his truly able to shoulder his destiny, by destroying the guarding's of his father, both of his "father's, sins. If not, then he is useless to us and will be disposed. Come, we must be ready to move."

Zexion then says,"Yes, while we don't pick up anything yet, it's doubtful the Enji will just let Ezan go. We must be ready, to make an explosive departure if need be."

Vexen chuckles and narrows his eyes on Ezan as he says," It matters not if the Enji try and interfere with this experiment. Even if Ben Auro is with them, they cannot hope to stop us when we hold all the variables! Yes, but let us get ready. I do hate delays."

With that the five black robbed men all vanish in columns of darkness. And as the dark Enji get ready to force Ezan to join there "club", little do they know that there light counterparts are closer to their trail then they expect!


We now return once more to the view of Ben and his fellow Enji! Thanks to them taking the rest of the special new stealth transport ships they were able to blaze through hyper space, and manage to only be behind Ezan by two hours and a half! Thanks to being able to have a lock on the sliver haired Enji's ion trail they are even able to trace his ship to the Ghelsba Mountain's !

And as they land they see that it's a strong possibility they are on the right path when not only dose Ben see an Enji ship, but the dark flames Ezan had unleashed in his fury to incinerate the bandits who had the wrong idea of trying to get in his way earlier! As everyone gets of the ships Ben takes a close up look at the giant pillar of black fire still burning on and says,"Well, looks like someone had a disagreement here. And it seems that someone lost it badly. "

Vincent Valentine was one of the ones who joined the mission and the former member of the Turk's gets a closer look at the black fire before he says,"Theses flames, they emit the foul heat of the deepest darkness. They also have a faint trace of Ezan's magical energy, but what is more, someone else's energy is entwined in this attack." His friends did not expect to hear that and Aeris says," What do you mean Vincent? That Ezan is being controlled by someone else? "

Ben thinks for a minute and says,"This attack dose resemble that Dragon of the Darkness Flame attack he tried to use to barbecue us when we last fought. That was the first time I saw him use that attack though."

Squall thinks for a second before saying," Come to think of it, he never used such an attack on any of our missions. But I am more concerned about what the meaning of another magical energy in synch with Ezan."

Vincent then says," This might be one of the reasons Ezan is acting irrational; someone might be controlling his actions. And I fear that this could lead to a new nightmare if we don't find the root of this soon. This other energy is as dark as Xehamaru, or Sephiroth. "

Cloud then has his eyes widen as he says,"You know, I do remember that during Xehamaru's invasion, for a few seconds I could feel him, feel that Sephiroth had returned. I could never forget his presence."

Aeris then winces before responding with a dire," You know, I felt it to. However, if vanished as quickly as it appeared. And to be honest I thought that it was merely a byproduct of Xehamaru and all the other's strong evil powers merging on the planet and thought little of it afterworlds. "

Cloud sighs and says, Me too Aeris. Thanks to Ben Xehamaru failed to complete his ritual to resurrect Sephiroth and we all thought that was the end of it. However, maybe it still had some effect. Ezan was fighting one of the Sithantos Digimon above us. Maybe, some of Sephiroth's power could have seeped in to Ezan and he did not even notice?"

Zidane then says,"Guess the only way is to track down Ezan and question him are self's! Now, let's hunt him down!"

Ben looks confident and marches forward while saying,"All right, let's go! Um, but wait. Where do we start?"

Hiryuumon trips over a pebble on hearing this and gets back up and saying," You mean we don't have a clue at all at where to look boss? That's no good!"

Squall shakes his head and says,"That's for sure. But that's how it is. Ezan seems to be hiding his magic energy, and since this has been a major Zeon world we don't even have access to a real layout of this world. This, could be a real pain, especially if we are all ready to late."

Ben then says," Thinking like that won't get us any ware. But still, this is kind of a bad plan. There must be some way to figure out where he went."

Doug kicks a rock in to the black fire and watches it burn up instantly as he says,"Well, I guess we could always ask around if they saw a moody sliver haired guy flying some ware. I mean, someone should have noticed it."

James sighs and responds with,"Talking to the locals is not such a bright idea. Remember, we are on a Zeon world, Enji are not exactly the hot topic around a world so loyal to the Zeon cause. Besides, even if they would talk to us it's not like someone who could help us would just fall in to are laps. Hey, did the sky just get dark? Whoa!"

James and the others are caught off guard when all of a sudden they hear thunder, and several lightning bolts rain down on the Enji! Aeris is quickly able to set up a magical barrier to defect the blasts as they go of in different directions.

Aeris then says," That storm came out of no were, I doubt it was natural. "

Tifa then flicks back her hair before she adds," Your saying someone is trying to attack us?"

Aeris then looks at Tifa and says," I would say more than likely that this person is all ready here. I can sense a faint, but powerful energy."

Cloud then says," What, could this be the person who is luring Ezan?"

Out of nowhere everyone hears a shrill female laugh that then says,"Ohohoho! How unsightly! To think I let my defenses down so that I could be detected! Still, you're not bad if you could sense me!"

All the Enji take out there weapons and Ben says," Who are you, show yourself right now if you want to avoid trouble!"

The same laughter continues as this female booms out a theatrical,"Such a brazen boy! It's clear you all missed class, otherwise you would be having a much more appropriate tone! Very well, let's see how you like this! "

With that everyone sees an explosion break out in front of them that blasts away part of the mountain top in front of them! From the smoke a new figure soon comes out of it, but it's not what anyone was expecting! Everyone sees a midget near teddy bear sized women with blond hair emerge. She looks more like a large stuffed doll and not much like a human. Hiryuumon walks right over to her, and sniffs her while saying," Hey, this thing feels weird boss! She is not a human or a digimon! Think she is one of the Zannacross Empire's goons? Huh, AH!"

Ben's digimon partner pay's dearly for that remark when the female looks ticked, snaps her fingers, and has Hiryuumon encased in ice! She then blasts him back as she says,"Vulgar dragon, how dare you talk about me in such a way! I you did not talk my tong just now I would have shattered you right now! Lack of information is no excuse to not properly address a Tarutaru !"

James looks at her and says," Ah that's right, one of this planet's major race's is the Tarutaru race. And it's all ready clear that the reports saying they are powerful with magic is no misconception. "

The Tarutaru glares at James and says,"True that may be, but my magic is even more grander than most. I see you clearly have no idea who I am so listen well. I am the great professor Shantotto , the best master of magic in all of Vana'diel, and beyond the stars ! "

Seeing her laugh madly Ben just sighs and says,"Oh great, and just when I thought Rita had a overblown ego, now it's someone twice as small, and twice as stuck up! Still, like Master Zoda she is one of those small appearance, big power types. So, what are you doing here anyway Professor Shantotto?"

The small mage looks at Ben and says,"What am I doing here? I think I should be asking you people what you are doing here! I was herding some Chocobo for my new research, when I sensed this great power! And now hear I see theses magical flames, and you odd looking lot here! Fess up, what are you? I know you're not from this world!"

Ben, Zidane and the others look at each other and James says," Well, you see it's quite simple. We are travelers who are crossing the ocean of stars for a research project. We are on our own allegiance, and are simply trying to learn a few things about this world. This flame amazed us to, and we have nothing to do with it." Shantotto walks right up to James, looks him in the eyes, and suddenly kicks him in the knee! As James grasps his newly bruised limb in pain she glares at the rest and has sparks form around her hands as she says,"

Think I am stupid! I saw those outfits before, your all Enji Knights! Lie to me again and your all going to be deep fried. "

Vincent sighs and makes sure his Tri-barrel Cerberus gun is loaded as he says,"

Guess it can't be helped. Yes, we are Enji, and we would like to keep the knowledge of our presence here at a minimum. And, that is why if you are to stand in are way that could pose a problem. "

The Tarutaru laughs and says,"Oh don't worry strangely dressed man, while if you're looking for a fight I am more than ready! However, don't type cast me if you're implying I side with the Zeon Federation."

Ben raises a eyebrow and says," So, you're not with them? "

She laughs again and says," Oh please, as if I would work for a bunch of tasteless peons like them! They tried to get me to work for them before, but I kindly gave them the message when I blew every mobile suit they tried to "Contain" Me with in to scrap metal! No one rules me, and I have had little interest in being involved with this grand war ever since Ansem Zeon died. Don't worry, I won't tell anybody if you're on a mission, that is, as long as you tell me what this is really about!

"Squall sighs and says," Find, we will play it your way, for now. We really did not causes theses black flames to appear. But a comrade of ours might have, and we are here to look for him. His name is Ezan Kaiba, have you seen him? "

Shantoto looks intense for a second and says,"Ezan Kaiba you say? "

Ben then inches forward and says," Yah, sliver short hair, sometimes has odd eyes. Not very social. "

His responds is, "Um, nope not seen anyone close to that description. "

Ben sighs and says," Well, that was real helpful. Arg, there must be some reason he came to this world. Im just grasping at straws now, but maybe it's too due with his Sharingan eye's? Shantotto 's eyes to light up as she says," You say he has the Sharingan eye? Really? Not many of those theses days."

Zidane nods and says," He had them since he is part of the Kaiba family. His father Garma Kaiba did not have them, but they said it's in his blood line and with Ezan's talent it's no wonder. "

The small mage bolts at Zidane and his on his throat as he says,"What! This Ezan is the son of, Garma Kaiba? Wait, that would mean. Oh, OH! I see! Of course! I know where your missing Enji might be! "

Ben looks at her closely and says," You mean it? Where?"

Shantotto grins and wags her finger as she says," Patience boy, I'll take you there, as long as I get to come along to! I did sense a power level I never felt before, and I am curious to see if this is what I think it is. "Ben is annoyed at the newcomer's demand and is about to rant when Tifa walks in front of him and smiles before saying," That sounds fair. You obviously know the layout of the area better than us so we could use the help."

Shantotto looks sly and jumps on Hiryuumon like a hoarse says," Good, then we are off to the mausoleum of Sacrarium,! Mush west boy!"

This annoys Hiryuumon and says,"Hey! You could ask first!"

Zidane then sees his lover Garnet along with his other friends Steiner, Vivi two, Amarant and Freya run walk over to him and the queen of Alexandra says," Did you guys have any leads on where Ezan went to? Oh, who is this person Zidane? Is she, a person or a doll?"

Zidane laughs and says," Oh don't worry, it's cool we are having some luck today. Better get ready to move rusty; this is going to be rough. Sigh, Ezan just loves to make things hard on us. Oh well, if the treasure was easy to find they would not call it a treasure hunt."

As the larger armored knight is about to complain till the women originally from the summoner village of Madain Sari grabs her fiercely loyal knight by the shoulder and complies. Ben and the others then get ready to move as the welder of the Star Sword says,"

Well, at least we have a start. I just hope it's not all ready to late. Ezan no doubt can handle himself, but I am more worried that his biggest threat is either himself or whoever is messing with him. Just hope we are not too late. All right, time to make sure we are not too late!"

With that Ben and the others once more begin to move out with their new, if sly and neurotic, guide leading the way.

However they have no time to waste, as Ezan has been moving through the large catacombs like a blur no matter what stands in his way!


We now return to the man of the hour, who has just sliced in half three Behemoths who were foolish enough to think they could eat the super elite warrior! Ezan has just entered the fourth floor, and sees in front of him many unnamed tombstones on the walls, along with four large doors in front of him, with one bigger than the rest. He takes a look at all the graves without names and just begins to walk forward as he says,"It's clear this is indeed a burial ground. And someone wanted to keep them undisturbed.

How touching, but they are all meaningless to me anyway. I don't feel the power that called me here from any of them. It must be at the core of this place. And if the only things protecting this place are those levels of beasts then it should not take long. Oh? Well, maybe whoever designed the security of this place really wished to keep out visitors? "

He then sees from the three paths three lights open up, and as Ezan hears a large rumbling he is shocked to see three large robots begin to emerge!

To his left he sees a red and yellow machine with arms rise up with the name Sanga of the Thunder on its central core! In the middle opening a round green machine named Kazejin emerges, and to the right the last of the trio, the blue bipedal robotic obstacle named Sujin also raises up!

As the three machines all have their eyes glow and begin to move forward Ezan has his Soul Eater blade glow and cackle with lighting as he says," Nice try, but I have no time to play with toys. Go back to sleep,! Chidori Gale!"

With that Ezan defects a few blasts from the three new obstacles before he decides it's time to try out a new move as he jumps in to the air, powers up his energy, and unleashes a massive cyclone charged with powerful magical lighting that slams in to the three machines! Not only does this powerful attack damage all of them, but it blasts the ceiling above them, and causes a minor cave in that buries the three!"

Ezan then dashes forward and with a burst of energy he moves fast enough to go past the largest door in the span of a second as he says,"

Tsc, I have run out of patience for delays. No matter what, I will not be denied!" He then uses his power at full speed, and clears another long corridor in a few seconds, till he sees in front of him a large room, with many pillars and the largest door yet! He slows down as he sees a large picture or painting, composed of two eyes that look sort of like his Sharingan eyes but more advanced or something. But what really gets his attention is the blond haired women below those eyes, because it highly resembles his mother! He then says," Mother, is this, where you were buried? Father, never did let me know where your grave site was. Is this why I was able to senses the energy, from such a distance? Could the key to both the truth and to my true power be you all along? I will find out, this instant! What, this energy, what now?"

He then sees the ground below him have a symbol of light appear on the ground in front of him, before a massive geyser of energy forms!

This energy begins to take form, in to a massive monster! This monster is a purple centaur like monster, with wings and a dragon like face. His right hand has a massive blade in it and his shoulders and lower half seem to be made up of very powerful armor! It's a monster that those who played Final Fantasy 7, 8, or 10 would remember, Ultima Weapon! Ezan remembers hearing about such a monster from Squall and gets in to fighting stance as he says,"

I remember, Squall once said he fought this monster, one of the most powerful creatures of the world, Ultima Weapon. If this is my final opponent before I can have my true power, then so be it. Because I'll make this last obstacle fall to pieces!"

With that in a flash he is right in front of Ultima Weapon and unleashes a powerful slash to try and slice its head of, only to find out the hard way that his new opponent is faster than his size would give of, and he blocks Ezan 's sword with his hand! He then strikes Ezan with his own sword and the Enji is just barely able to move fast enough to dodge, as the powerful monster's sword instantly shatters the pillar behind Ezan!

Ezan then says," I see its title of Ultima Weapon is not misplaced. Still, Ultimate or not I will not be denied my fate! Light Divider!"

With that Ezan fires a powerful purple energy beam at the massive monster.

However, Ultima Weapon has his sword glows and slashes the blast in half, before attacking with a barrage of red energy blasts from his wings that all home in on Ezan! Ben's rival moves so fast that he is like a blur as his speed is great enough to cause the blasts to hit each other! Through the smoke Ezan bursts at full speed right for the head of the monster and his sword is engulfed with power as he says,"This ends now, Chidori Burst!"

With that he moves to fast for Ultima Weapon to react, and hits the monster right between its eyes! As it roars in pain Ezan smirks as he says,"

Nice try, but even something of your caliber can not deny me! I waited long enough, and the wait ends now! Huh, oh no!"

He is shocked to see that his strike did hurt Ultima Weapon, but not enough to destroy it! And it makes that quite clear as it blasts Ezan in the chest with his eyes, and as Ezan is blasted back its entire body glows with power, before it unleashes its devastating Light Pillar energy blast!

This attack hits Ezan dead on, and causes a powerful explosion that shatters the rest of the pillars in the chamber and blasts a large hole in the ceiling as well! However his right arm is pretty bloody so he did not get of free of charge. However he just has his Sharingan eyes glare at the monster as he says,"Your power is no doubt grand, but the pain I felt from that is nothing. I don't know if you can understand my words Ultima Weapon, but you should know that this power is nothing to me! After all I suffered, it will never be able to keep me from my destiny! Ill show you, what the true power of the chosen one can do!"

With this his aura turn's a pure black color, and once more a long black angel wing forms out of his back. However Ultima Weapon just roars again, before it shows how relentless it can be as energy surges around its body before it fires of its Ultimate Cannon blast attack from its entire body! However Ezan just calmly stabs the blast with its sword, and absorbs the blast in to it! As the Soul Eater has energy surround it he points it at the attacker and says," I had enough of your pathetic temper tantrum. Now you die! Backlash Mirror Force Flare! "

With this Ezan fires of a massive purple blast nearly twice the size of the blast fired at him! Ultima Weapon is then consumed by a blast that has a good chuck of his own energy in it! The blast rockets him through the ceiling against his will, and he roars one last time before the blast rips him apart! The blast bursts out of theSacrarium mausoleum before it causes a massive explosion that lights up the sky!

Ezan just walks forward and says," No more wasting my time! I did not come here to dispose monsters, I came here to find the truth, so stop messing around!" Despite the fact that Ezan seems to forget he is yelling at a large door it seems to work, because the image of the women glows in responds to his Sharingan eyes, and the doors begin to open! "

Ezan smirks and says," Now, hopefully this time it will lead to someplace meaningful."

With that Ezan resumes his dash through the doors. However as he gets more reckless in his movements he fails to see his last attack was seen by his fellow Enji!


We turn to the view of Ben and co once more. Who at the moment are a few miles away from where there oddly acting comrade is, and they are shocked to see such a massive explosion! Hiryuumon then says," Well boss, think Ezan might be in there?"

Ben sighs and says," well, you don't see random purple explosions appear in the sky normally. Well, it could be a new Zeon weapon, but unless it's a long range type I think we would have seen it. Let's just go with it ok? "

Shanttotto looks excited and says," Oh, such power, such intense energy! This is the most fun I had in a year! How interesting, I know I felt this kind of energy before. Or at least, a part of it. "

Cloud looks at her and says," What do you mean? "The small mage just shrugs and says," Oh, it might be my excitement, but I felt some of that energy before, in are former ruler Ansem Zeon. "

The others stare at her and James says," Ansem Zeon? Why would Ezan, have the same the same kind of magical energy as the founder of the Zeon Federation?"

Ben scratches his head and says," This is all leading back to what that odd Diz guy and Garma were talking about. Arg, but it's like a very confusing puzzle. "

Shanttotto then looks impatient and responds with a curt," Well if you're that confused then stop thinking about it and hurry up and land so I can see your friend with my own eyes to conform my suspicions!"

Cloud nods and says," Sounds good to me, get ready for a landing everyone."

With that Cloud contacts the others and all the stealth ships begin there descent outside the entrance of the large burial ground. However, even though they are almost there it might be to late, because at the moment Ezan seems to have last entered the source that was calling out to him before he even set foot on this world!


Once more are view turns back to him, and after quickly clearing a series of spiral staircases downward, he enters the most unique area yet. Before the sliver haired warrior's eyes is a giant white room, with a large red crystal incased in some sort of glass. Around it are four pillars of energy that seem to dig deep in to the ground, and on the walls of the chamber are many books and computers. Ezan is not sure what to expect and says," What, is this place? That crystal, is it the power that was calling me all this time? Someone, appears to have lived here before. What is this about, huh? No, it can't be!"

Something catches his eye to the left and walks up to one of the tables to look at one of the books amidst many ones labeled Ansem reports, and his eyes get wider as he sees that it says it's the diary of his mother, Naminé Uchiha! He at once takes it out of the shelf and says,"

This, was my mothers? Why would something like this be the subject of such protection? "

To find the answer he swiftly opens the book.


At first it seems like a normal diary, but after skimming around he sees his hunch was right, and in the middle of the book he spots a entry that talks about her feelings about Ansem.

It seems it's clear that what Lexeaus said before was not just made up, there is over a hundred pages about the things they have done together. It is clear from the pages that she had very strong feelings for Ansem. He reads on to the part of when the Lylat Kingdom arrived, and when she first saw Garma. At first she greatly admired both him and the Lylat Kingdom. Because of her sheltered life, even with her powerful magic, she had not seen anyone from beyond her world before. It seems that Garma Kaiba took an interest in her kindness and beauty. And choose her to be his envoy to the Lylat Kingdom.

Ezan reads that she was thrilled, and was at first annoyed with Ansem, who was one of the few people who was against her returning to Corneria with him. Ezan then reads that at first she had a great time, and that Kaiba basically granted any wish she had and took her on a grand tour of the capital planet! However, she soon found out that Ansem's misgivings might have been justified. Ezan is shocked to hear that in the last day of the tour, when all the new repasentives of the new worlds to the Lylat Kingdom were having a party with Atem's father in the Grand Hall, Garma shocked her by telling everyone they were to unite the two worlds, by marriage!

Garma then told her that it was ideal for both of them, and that he had never met a more desirable women. His mother then has a whole section on how while she dose have feelings for Garma, she did not think she loved him enough to marry him, and really did not like the part where he just spurt out the engagement like it was set in stone without even hinting at it to her before hand!

However, Ezan is disgusted to read on that Garma did not like what he heard from her, and said he would not allow her to deny there true love!

Ezan then skims through how she went back to Vana'diel only to find out that her family had all ready decided it would be best for the Uchiha Kingdom if she married him!

Realizing she had no choice, she solemnly expected the proposal, which was a much different reaction then what Garma told Ezan! Ezan then reads on that the only one who did not blindly rush her to marry in to the Kaiba family, was Ansem. As Garma, and her family , rushed on to move the wedding along as quickly as possible Ansem soon became the only person she could turn to.

And this is where Ezan is forced to face the truth, as he reads how she admits she realized he was the one she really loved!

Ezan can barely keep up his composure as she admits that she had an affair two weeks before the wedding when Ansem came to Corneria with her. Ansem then convinced her to fallow her heart, and then confronted Garma! Of course this infuriated Garma, he never liked Ansem for his disrespect to the Lylat Kingdom, and him.

When Ansem told Garma that he was doing something Namine did not want, and then admitted that he was in love with him! This outraged Garma, and he and Ansem fought right there. They were both powerful warriors, and Garma had his own Sharingan eye that he took from a fallen warrior. But Ansem showed he was the champion of his world, because it was a fight Ansem who won the dual!

Despite this, Garma persisted and in a rage Ansem was going to finish him of. However Namine stopped Ansem, saying she did not want him to do something that he would regret.

With this Ansem left, and soon left the planet and returned to isolation in Vana'diel.

Garma thought he had won, till he soon found out that his bride to be was holding a child, and there was no way that Garma was the father! Garma was seething with rage, but would not turn down the political advantages of the marriage and still kept it up.

However, Ezan's mother writes how from that day forward, Garma always looked ar her coldly. This information is too much for Ezan, and he drops the diary as he says," This is, impossible, but, it can't be denied. This was, is, mothers handwriting.

Ansem Zeon, he really is my father? But, how could I have no idea? Huh, what is this? What the?"

He sees by chance that when he dropped the book the pages turn to a later date, and Ezan 's eyes widen as in bold letters he sees the words, ultimate solder project! Ezan at once says," What the, what is this? "He then reads this shocking new entry and it his mother's words he hears,"

I never thought, things would ever end this way. When Garma first came before me, I truly believed what he said, that he loved me more then any women in the cosmos. It was because of the honesty I thought I saw in his eyes that made it easier for me to leave Ansem for him for the good of my family. If only I could have realized it sooner, that it was just a mask. A mask behind his desire, to create the ultimate glory of his Kaiba Family! I was grateful when Garma did not react too harshly when he found out I was pregnant at first, and even more grateful when he said he would raise the child as his own.

However, I should have realized that it was for his own anterior motive. He, all this time, he wanted my power, to create the ultimate solider! I would have never have guessed that he would stoop so low as to when I was sleeping, use magic to keep me that way, and while I sleep, alter my child's DNA, to make it the prefect soldier! All this time, Garma wanted to marry me , so he could have access to the power of the Sharingan!

He had his own, but he wanted to have a pureblood child, to have the full power and effect. I learned all to late, he merely saw me as a tool in his grand plan. The DNA of previous great warriors. Infused reflexes and enhanced inner power. Quantum Brain waves. Brain wave data, muscle reaction data, magical energy data. And all the powers of the Sharingan eyes.

And to top it of, the potential of being the son of Ansem Zeon, even if Garma was disgusted to admit it. He said it was all to create the prefect warrior who would help insure harmony to the universe, and have the power to destroy any maverick who brought discord to us. But I knew it was all a false justification to bring him distorted glory. But, its to late. Garma will not let anything stop his prefect warrior son from being his to command. And, he will make sure I can't stop him, not even give me the chance to take my own life. My child, I hope you can forgive me. "


Ezan's hand's shake as he says," I, I was genetically enhanced form birth? I always knew I was fated to be a Super Elite warrior, but I did not know I was built to be that way! My destiny, truly is to be a destroyer. But, why did mother die ? Huh? "

He then reads the last entry, a year later from that day. And he reads. "

My dear son, Ezan. I can't, hold on any longer. Please forgive me, but, this poison, its to much. Garma, he keeps saying he will make sure he finds the cure, and make who ever tried to take my life pay. But, I know its him, I know he wants to erase his shame, as well as anything that can interfere with the growth of his perfect warrior. I sent a letter to Ansem. I wanted him not to try and come for me, Garma will be ready for it. I just want your real father, to be able to look out for you. Even if he will look over you from the shadows, even if you can't know the truth, I want you to have a chance for happiness.

Ezan, I want you to be able to someday learn the truth so you will be reborn from your fallen tears. In the beginning, everything is equally balanced. And you will definitely understand your path. Like the piece that was mentioned, everyone has their own, unique path to continue down. What is it that determines who we truly are? The flesh, the soul, discord, harmony; which really matters in the end? This insecurity is what makes the war's of the cosmos so painful. When and if the new world is created, which path will it take? Will it finally be one when all hearts can be united? I hope so, and I hope with all my heart you can live to see that, my son. I, don't have much time left, but I will always love you, forever."

That was the last page of the diary, and Ezan's whole body shakes and says," No, this can't, be real! Garma, really did kill my mother? But, this is, AH!"

He then feels a large pain in his head, and holds it tight as he hears a mad laughter form inside himself and its Sephiroth! The sprit of the former SOLDIER commander readied the same stuff his host readied, and he then says,"

How utterly irony, its no wonder you are my prefect host Ezan! You and I share the same fate, the fate to be the ultimate soldier. We were both created to be above the rest. "

Ezan falls on his knees and says," Shut up, just shut up Sephiroth! I am not like you! RAH!"

His energy explodes from his rage and the room shakes but Sephiroth keeps laughing as he says,"I did not say we were completely identical. After all, you were created just to destroy, while I was created to lead my world, and all other worlds to the stars were true order can be reached! Now, its time you fulfill your destiny at last puppet!"

Ezan then walks forward with his back hunched over and just stares at his mother's diary as he says," All this time, the truth is that I was living a lie all this time? So, I really have no other destiny. I knew it beforehand anyway, but now there is no doubt. I fully comprehend my existence now. Huh, what is this?"

All of a sudden, he sees the four energy pillars in the room begin to glow, before they all give away, and the barrier surrounding the giant crystal falls away! A new voice then says,"Ezan Ansem, so at last you have found the truth. Now that you have, its time you fulfill your true destiny! Step forward, and all will be clear! With your true destiny at last clear to you, you must use the powers you have to unleash this seal, and your true power!"

Ezan slowly walks forward, and as he dose little dose he know that he is being watched, by none other then Nag'molad !


The eye patched man has been watching with glee as he sees Ezan slowly give in to the darkness and he says," Yes, that's it Ezan, use your power, the power you were destined to have, to unseal the gate! At last, I found someone who could break the seal on the power of the mother crystal! I will succeed where even the two powerful Zilart princes Kam'Lanaut And Eald'Narche failed! I will create paradise and take control of the Zeon Federation, with the power of the corrupted celestial one sealed in this planet's core, Promathia!

Yes, as legend foretold the chains of Promathia will at last be unsealed by one who possesses the eyes of the angels, the Sharingan eyes! This power will allow me to crush all the Enji who dare try and oppose me! Now, if Vexen and the others can just stop theses meddling warriors of light from stopping Ezan, all of my long research will at last allow me to take my proper place! Hahahaha, do it Ezan, give in to your hatred and become who you were always destined to be, The angel of darkness! Hahahah!"


With this, he awaits in anticipation as Ezan slowly walks to the center of the chamber, and the energy is being to swirl around both him and the crystal! His friends have just entered the shrine at the moment, and they feel this outburst of energy to! Having just entered the chamber with the four doors, Ben and co feel the ground shake, and seeing a large flash of energy in the distance Aeris says," That power, its so massive! And what is more, it feels, very familiar, to the life stream. "

This causes her comrades to look at her and Cloud says," What do you mean Aeris? "

Vincent then looks down, and says," I feel it to Cloud. This world, it must also have a life energy net work that resembles are own. In other words, this souls of this world's dead still linger, and I have a good feeling that this place is close to where they stay."

Ben is anxious at hearing this and says," Why would Ezan want to go to a place like this? Don't tell me he has gone so nuts he has become a vampire or something and wants that kind of energy!"

He then sees Shantotto look ecstatic as she runs forward and says,"Only way to find out is to stop talking and hurry up! If anyone causes me to be tardy for this rare occurrence it will be grounds for expulsion!"

Ben rolls his eyes and says," That's funny, I forgot the part when we were in class all of a sudden, or ever being your student. Any way "Professor", you out of everyone should know that we can't just be careless even if we are in a hurry. "

Squall sighs and says," That's right. Places like this just love to be filled with traps and hidden monsters.

The magical midget just laughs and says," Oh don't be such worry warts! From what we saw outside it seems your friend had his fun with the welcoming party so its all clear form here! Oh? "

Everyone then hears another tremor, and all of a sudden the rocks from the three closed paths are blasted away! All of a sudden are hero's see Sanga, Kazejin and Sujin fly out of the rubble! It seems while Ezan 's attack did damage them, he did not account that they had the technology to self repair, and now his fellow Enji have to clean up his mess! Everyone gets ready to fight as Zidane chuckles and says," Well, you know what they say, the bigger the prize, the bigger the lock! Still, we have no time for playing with distractions!"

Shantotto just has a fireball form in her hand before she juggles it in the air as she says," Ah, I did hear the Uchiha burial grounds had some pretty big security, and it was ramped up even more lately. Still, it will be fun to see what makes this ancient machinery tick when I blow it apart!

"The three machines all being to glow, before they begin to move oddly! It seems that they are smart enough to analyze that they are dealing with numerous threats, and then chains of energy form out of all three of them!

Soon Kazejin position it self on top of Sujin, and Sanga lands on top of the green machine. And with a surge of power the three combine to the powerful Gate Guardian! As the machine walks forward with a massive stomp Doug cracks his knuckles and says," They really think that gluing them together can stop us? Ill knock it down in a flash!"

James nods and charges up his energy bow as he says," I agree Doug, we have no time for sideshows so lets end this quick. "

With this James fires of a volley of energy arrows at the fused massive road block. However, Gate Guardian shows of its power as it fires of a strong wind current from its midsection as its top section fires of a powerful lighting bolt to merge together and form a barrier around it that neglects James's attacks! It then goes on the offensive as each segment glows with power, before it fires a powerful surging tidal wave of electrified water at the good guys!

Aeris and Garnet combined there powers to create a magical barrier strong enough to block the assault, and the Gate Guardian's attack goes through the left wall of the catacomb before it continues to rage forth in the distance!

Cloud narrows his eyes and says," This is more then just a mere monster, and its defenses seem to be top notch. We will have to be careful in order to, huh? Whoa!" He and the others are shocked to see various spells heading right for him and the spiky haired warrior has to duck not to get hit! He then sees Gate Guardian get hit with a powerful Firegia spell, before being hit by a Blizzaga spell and a Thundaga spell right after another! Everyone turns to Shantotto madly firing multicast magic at the monster while saying," What!? Your all the ones who are in the hurry! This thing is nothing but an ugly eyesore anyway!"

With that she barrages the Gate Guardian with a combo of, Flare, Flood, Burst, Quake, Tornado, and Freeze magic! This rapid combo of powerful magic is too much for the tri-machine's barrier to keep up, and it's overwhelmed before explosions break out of it! As dust fly's all over Shantotto laughs madly and says,"

I knew this would be fun. You kiddies should just leave the rest to me. "Ben gets annoyed and says," For someone who has no idea of the situation your quite cocky. "

Shantotto locks annoyed at Ben and says," Look kid, when your as old and as wonderful as me then you can talk like that! Oh?"

She and the others then see a stumbling and sparking Gate Guardian try and get back up, and an annoyed Ben charges up his power and says," Look "Miss Frizzle", we can more then handle are self's! Shinryukenha!"

With that Ben fires of his powerful energy wave attack right as the Gate Guardian is charging up for another attack, and the beam consumes it before it is totally vaporized! Seeing Ben's power the short statured mage looks at Ben and says," My, you Enji are much more trained then the last ones we saw here. "

Ben just wipes the dust off his shoes and says,"All right, now that we have that settled, how about we just hurry up to Ezan before he dose something stupid? Huh, uh oh."

Everyone then feels a large tremor, and a large purple light flashes brightly!

Squall then says," Damn, that was Ezan 's power! We have to hurry, before it's too late!"

They all move forward, but all of a sudden a wall of ice forms to stop them in there tracks! A new voice laughs and says,"

Oh so sorry Enji Knights, but its all ready to late for all of you! The experiment is a success, Ezan Zeon is now ours!"

With that Shantotto gets annoyed and says," Show your self rats! I can smell your stench for miles! "

With that five columns of darkness burst up in front of are hero's, and out step Vexen, Xaldin, Zexion, Marluxia, and Saix! Seeing five of the elite warriors of darkness causes Ben to get mad and he says,"

The Organization of Dark Enji? What the hell are you doing here? And you, your that Marluxia guy that helped Larxene get away! Prefect, time for some pay pack. "

The pink hair villain smirks and quips out a wry," My, your quite confident you stand a chance at winning. How amusing. This really has been a amusing show, but now its time for the true event to occur. Still, you have become quite the talk among the galaxy. After all, a bipolar hero that snaps and becomes the envoy of darkness, Darth Idious is not your every day news. It's a shame you refuse to listen to the true side of your heart. "

This get's Ben annoyed and his Star Sword shines with holy energy as he points it at the black loving foes and says," Enough with that! I know I messed up pretty bad, but ill make to fight guys like you forever if that is what it takes to be forgiven!"

Hiryuumon then growls and says," That's right! The boss is a good guy and will always be that way. Its you jerks that keep trying to twist his heart! But we won't let you!" Cloud then says," Ben's mistake dose not make him unable to find redemption, and if you persist we will show you what we just shown Ganondorf!"

Zexion looks amused and throws out a playful," No need to act that way Cloud Strife. You can keep Ben Auro. Are superior has decided it is no longer worth the time to convert someone who is so pathetically stubborn to his petty friends and the light to join are cause. We are here for someone who is more suitable for are new puppet."

Zidane gets annoyed and says," You mean Ezan? Forget it! He may be a jerk but I know deep down the last thing he would do is join the likes of you!"

Vexen chuckles and says," And what do you really know about your teammate monkey boy? It is Ezan's fate, to side with the dark side! We lured him hear, so he could learn his true origins at last, and expect his fate! It will be only moments before his path is no longer one that can be turned back on!"

Squall then adds," What ever you are trying to do it will fail. Ezan could not be turned by Kira and his father, so there is no chance he will be turned by you. Stop wasting time and get lost!"

As he raises his Lion-heart Gun-blade at them Xaldin chuckles, and has his dark aura shimmer as he says," You warriors of light are like always to presumptions about your self's! You have always fought on the path of foolish folly, and soon all of your kind will be reduced to nothingness when are moment of glory comes!"

Aeris then looks resolute as her holy power begins to form as she says,"People like you, can only understand the darkness of the heart. And because of that all you can ever hope to achieve is misery and ruin. We won't let you drag down Ezan in to the darkness with you!"

Saix then walks forward, and his power level explodes with such force that it blasts the rubble and parts of the other doors away as he causes his massive blue Claymore weapon Luna Divider to form in his hand as he harshly states," Cetra, we understand more then just the darkness. However, we know the truth, that the other side is weak . Enough, you will not interfere with are grand design. Today is the day you all die. By the time the moon is full you will all be nothing more then shattered corpses."

Ben gets annoyed and gets ready as he sees Vexen summon a shield of ice, Xaldin summon his six lances, Marluxia summon his scythe Graceful Dahila form a rose petal, and Zexion summons, a book. He then says,"Heh, you guys must be serious about this if so many of you are here at once. Still, we are serious to! I won't ever let you guys covert Ezan to one of you raincoat wearing lunatics. No matter what Ezan's true history is, he is one of us, a Enji Knight! I won't let you hurt anyone, so let's finish this!"

Marluxia forms a vile grin as he says," Heh, you turn from the truth because your heart's are weak. But if you insist, as you wish Enji! "

I am the true chosen one, and no one will ever deny me my true purpose ever again! Yes, all other feelings are meaningless, all that matters is power! Mother, can you hear me mother? With this power, we will get revenge on all of those that lied to us together!"

As his Sharingan eyes glow and the reactors begin to shine in responds, Nag'molda is looking at this from the outside monitor room with great anticipation!

He then says," Yes, do it, do it! It is through death that those of destiny will be reborn, and with your body I will never be denied again! Unleash the power that will let me rule over all!"

As he laughs madly, little dose he know another figure is awaiting this event even more! From inside Ezan Sephiroth is doing all he can to make sure Ezan dose not change his mind, and he says," Yes, yes! This energy will be enough to allow me to at last to take final control! Do it Ezan complete your role as my puppet at last! Do what must be gone for the good of all of the cosmos , my true return! "

Well, it seems like once more the Enji are racing against time! Not only dose Ben and co have to deal with five of the extremely powerful Dark Enji at once, but Ezan has at last found out the truth about his past, and is forced to face the truth that Garma Kaiba has been lying to him his whole life, and that Ansem Zeon is his true father!
