Chapter 104: Tense Struggle in the Dusk! The true Light of the Dark Knight!

Last time in tales of the Cosmic Wars Ezan was not in the best moods. After going to where he felt the source of the power calling him, the grand mausoleum of Sacrarium, the burial ground for many important figures from the world of Vana'diel, and used primary by the powerful Uchiha group. Ezan cared little that the fact that the place was suppose to be closed off, and dispatched who ever got in his way, regardless if it was a Zaku droid, The Gate Guarding machines, or even Ultima Weapon!

Before long the sliver haired warrior made it to the depths of the catacombs, and found at last the answers he has long been searching for, in the form of his mothers diary! Ben's rival at last had a direct link to his past, and it was not what he was expecting to say the least!

To his horror not only was he forced to admit that his true father really was Ansem Zeon, but that Grama had nearly forced his mother to marry him. But that was nothing to him finding out that he literally was destined to be a super elite solder, he was infused, enhanced ,and genetically altered to be the ultimate solder before he was even born, a situation not too far from Sephiroth!

And to top it off, he heard right from his mother's own words that it seems very likely that Garma poisoned her to remove her influence from him on Ezan! All of this was too much to bear, and as the pain about his true origins overwhelmed him, the spirit of Sephiroth was all to eared to take advantage of this to once and for all try and assert his dominance! But he was not the only one, knowing Ezan was at his weakest hour, the Zeon commander Nag'molda urged Ezan to the edge of the room to break the giant Mother crystal.

However while Ezan thought breaking the seal would give him the power to surpass Ben Auro and the Masters, but in reality it would be to break the chains of Promathia, a corrupt celestial one rumored to have been captured by Chaos Zannacross Necron himself in the ancient great celestial war and then sealed in this planet's core! Meanwhile, Ben Cloud, Squall, Zidane, Aeris and the others were able to track down Ezan thanks to their genius alleys and with the help of the local eccentric taritaru mage Shantotto were able to fallow the trail of their comrade before Ezan fully went down the path of no return.

However, they were stopped by the most unwanted of interlopers, five of the elite members of Organization XIII! Vexen, Saix, Xaldin, Zexion, and Marluxia all appeared to insure Ezan continues on the path of darkness, with plans to make sure that path leads to being there pawn! Ben and the others are in a very dire situation, and they can't afford to mess up now.

Because failure here will lead to a multiple of disastrous situations to form! Can Ezan be reached and turned back from the dark path so many are pushing him in to? Let's us find out, so let the 100th chapter of this story begin! And a toast to internal ambition! Lol, all right, for are 100th issue we have quite a chaotic battle so lets get ready to rumble!

---

We dive right in to the action today so the chapter begins right were the last one left of, with Ben and co staring down the five powerful black wearing foes! Vexen sees the hero's looking serious and he chuckles and says," Oh my, I forgot my manners. How careless of me to be ready to kill you all without a proper introduction! I am Vexen, number three in the Organization and one of its eldest members. More than worthy to kill you!"

Ben then responds with a deadpanned," Oh great, now I feel so much better."

Xaldin then gets annoyed and growls out,"Quit you worthless brat! Since you failed to be able to be much of anything you will no longer plague are progress and die now!"

Ben then has his energy flare up and says,"It's about time I show you all that I am not as much of a failure as you think!"

Saix is as emotionless as ever and just flatly responds with," We have observed your growth for some time Ben Auro. And while your powers and skills with the Star Sword have improved, it's still nothing noteworthy."

This annoys Ben and he lashes back with a sharp," Oh really? Let's see how little you think of me after this, Bankai!"

With that Ben's power explodes and the ground shakes as he is enshrouded in a golden light before once more he and his celestial blade are at their most powerful state! However Marluxia just chuckles as he sees this and says," Oh please, that trick may be too much for someone like Demyx or Larxene to handle. But it's still nothing to the true elite of are ranks."

Ben then points his sword at Marluxia as he says,"Careful, I have come a long way since we fought. And after all, you're the one who ran away!"

Maraluxia laughs again and retorts with a snide," Oh you may have improved a bit Enji. However,"

Before he can even finish he is gone, and no one can track him until Hiryuumon growls and says," Boss behind you!"

With that Ben looks behind him and sees the foe is right behind him as he says," It's still not enough for you to win fool!"

With that in a flash he is ready to bring his scythe down on are hero, and Ben is just able to get out of the way as his foe's weapon slashes deep in to the ground and unleashes a shock wave of magical energy! An instant later Marluxia slashes again and again and Ben can barely block, much less have time to strike back!

Doug clutches his fists and says," Hang on buddy, no way we are letting that creep get a shot at lobbing your head off! Let's go guys! Huh, whoa!"

He is about to charge to aid Ben when all of a sudden he hears something, and sees a massive blue energy blast head his way! He jumps up as it blasts through the walls of the catacombs and unleashes a monstrous explosion, and turns to see it was Saix who fired it! The scar faced man just has energy surround him as he says,"

You Enji Knights are so foolish. You think you can save your friend? How do you expect to do that when you do not have the power to save your self's? You are powerless to change Ezan Zeon from his fate. Just as you are powerless to change the fate of this cosmos. All you can do is die along with all that oppose the new era from being born!"

James points his energy bow at Saix and says,"You know, despite you calling the Enji Knights fools all the time it's your Organization that comes off as the most arrogant, snobbish, and foolish bunch. You're not nearly as all powerful and as all knowing as you all think you are."

Hiryuumon then says," So how about we shut you guys up for good? Hiryuumon, double Digivole to,"With that the Digimon unleashes a surge of power, before a sphere of energy surrounds him, and he soon grows much larger and exists the sphere in his ultimate state before he roars and says,"Geno-Wyrmmon! Now, where were we again?"

Doug grins and powers up before saying,"How about putting this guy in his place? Fury Aura!"

With that Doug's gauntlets and grieves explode with power and he says,"All right, I'll get a expression out of you yet chuckles!"

Saix just raises his Claymore and says,"The best you can hope to get from me is me smiling at seeing all you scum emit your last breath. "

James then powers up his bow and says," I'd prefer another one, Ultima Volley!"

James then shows of some of the results of his own training as he uses his magical Quincy powers to fire a new round of energy arrows, each empowered with the high class Ultima magic spell! However Saix just winds back his large weapon, and unleashes a massive swing to create a strong enough gust to redirect the arrows in to the sky! As they all explode like fireworks Saix looks at James and says," Impressive, but that's still not enough to bother me. "

Doug then charges right in front of Saix and puts all his power in to his fist as he says," How about this? Shitenshuu ! "

At the same time Saix notices that Geno Wyrmmon got behind him when he was defecting James's attack and the large metal ultimate level digmon says," Time you shut up, Striking Crusher Claw!"

With that both Doug and Geno-Wyrmmon slam in to their blue haired foe with everything they have! However they are displeased to see that Saix just casually blocks both attacks at the same time with his Claymore! As the impact shakes the ground his eyes narrow as he says," You truly wish to die seeing my power!? So be it! "

A instant later James flash steps right in front of the bad guy's face and powers up to unleash his Ginrei Kojkyaku power and aims a arrow at him at point blank range as he says,"We are not going to die here, you soulless excuse for Enji imposters will never win! Steele Schider!"

With that James fires of his most powerful attack and it hits Saix dead on! His teammates jump back just as the arrow hits its mark, and causes another explosion! James takes a big sigh of relief and says," Nice work guys, even if that did not do him it, that should cause him to change his evaluation on us just a little. Huh, what the, guh!"

It seems James's attack did even less damage to his foe then he thought, because a instant later he finds himself dealing with the sudden pain of Saix smashing his fist in to James's stomach! Saix just glares at James and says,"How pathetic, I doubt that could even destroy one of my nobody minions. The skills of the Quincy are as outdated as the ideologies of your worthless order!"

With that he round house kicks James through a wall! A furious Geno-Wyrmmon says," You jerk, you're going to pay for that! Trinity Fury Cannon!"

With that Ben's Digimon partner fires of a powerful triple energy blast, only for Saix to bat it back and says," Enough, time I stop wasting my time with you lowlifes and go on to complete the mission!"

With that in a flash he is to the side of Geno Wyrmmon and slams his Claymore right in to the Digimon 's side, giving him a massive hit! Doug then charges at him again only for Saix to block Doug's punch before elbowing him in the shin! As he then kicks him to the ground he says," It's useless, there is no way that bugs like you can hope to do more than annoy me. And all that will get down is make your death even more painful."

Doug coughs up some more blood before wiping some of his face and grinning at Saix before saying," Who cares how strong you are? No way we can let you maniacs succeeded. It's as simple as that!"

Seeing both James and Geno-Wyrmmon slowly get ready to fight again Saix just sighs and says," You Enji are persistent. It's because of that that you have survived for so long. But that persistent will not save you, none of you will leave here alive!"

With that Saix is about to ready himself for another brutal attack, but his opponents are ready for whatever he can dish out! Now, if you're wondering why none of the others have come to the aid of the members of Squad 7, it's because they all have their hands full surviving the attacks of the other deadly members!

---

We now turn to Cloud and Squall's fight. At about the same time that Saix got in the way of Doug, James, and Geno Wyrmmon, the two Enji captains were also about to help Ben when all of a sudden they nearly got impaled by lances! Sure enough Xaldin was the one to stand in their way. Despite the great skills of both warriors, Xaldin is proving that his own skills are not one you can afford to mess up on!

At the moment Cloud is trying to slash at the head of the long black haired villain with his First Sword as Squall tries to slash Xaldin near his legs with his Lion-Heart Gun Blade. However Xaldin chuckles as he blocks both slashes with two of his lances and says," This is the extent of the talents of two of the most well know Enji Captains? Bah, how boring. "

Cloud looks annoyed and presses down harder as he says," Sorry to not be enough entertainment for you. I'll make sure to try real hard to get your attention, when we defeat you!"

Xaldin 's eyes narrow as he says," That will be your final fantasy Enji! "

With that he uses his powers to create a surge of wind to launch both warriors of light in to the nearest wall! Squall and Cloud quickly rebound and the brown haired hero gives of an annoyed short grunt before he says," With his mastery of wind it's like he has a barrier protecting him. Tsc, these guys are full of tricks. "

Cloud nods and says," All it means is that we have to try harder. After all, we dealt through worse opponents then this."

Xaldin then looks annoyed and says," Your all a stubborn lot, but ill punch a hole or twenty through that resolve you have, and move on to a worthy opponent!"

With that he warps to right above the two and has all six of his lances aim to kill the duo! However Cloud has his sword split in to two before he blocks the three lances, before Squall dodges the ones coming his way and powers up his energy as he says,"

I had enough of your mouth, time to shut you up so we can drag Ezan out of the mess you idiots lured him in to! Rough Divide!"

With that Squall jumps in to the air before he unleashes a powerful energy wave at his opponent, only for it to be deflected by Xaldin's wind barrier! Xaldin smirks at Squall and says,"Fool, the wind can defend me from all your little attacks. "

Cloud then jumps high in to the air and says," Let's see how long you can say they are so little, Finishing Touch!"

With that Cloud has his blue magic aura explode as he performs one of his various Limit Break attacks to unleash a charged up slash on his opponent's barrier right where Squall hit it before. And it pierces the Dark Enji's barrier, before hitting a surprised Xaldin in his right shoulder! Cloud's blade is able to cut deep in to his foe, but Xaldin quickly dashes back and gets very mad as he spits out a snide," A lucky shot scum, that will be your last! Now just for that I'll show you the true extent of my powers!"

Cloud just rolls his eyes and says,"Whatever you say. But you're nothing special; no matter how many times you try you will not win. We will stop you all and your plans to warp Ezan in to your twisted puppet as well. "

Xaldin laughs loudly before his magic energy begins to grow and he says," Know nothing fools! Ezan's fate was always to be one of us! But its clear words are useless at this point. The only thing left is for us to end this struggle, with you wearing the faces of despair! Now deal with this, Cyclone of Agony!"

With that Xaldin has all of his lances glow, before they combine together to resemble the head of a dragon, and fire of a massive energy blast!

Cloud and Squall have to use all of their magic energy to make them fast enough to get out of the way, just as the blast tears apart where they were and blasts through the shrine before unleashing a big explosion!

Squall has a serious face on as usual as he says,"Let's finish this soon Cloud. I am sensing what I hope is still Ezan 's magical energy surging, and what is worse is all the other energies I feel gathering around him!"

Cloud nods and says," I know, we are running out of time. What is worse, I can almost feel something like, no, I can't get distracted now. Let's just finish this so we can complete what we set out to do. I hope Aeris, Tifa, Ben, and all the others can overcome these other guys as well. "

As he and Squall continue to dodge the many rapid lunges from Xaldin, and as they do little does he know his friends are in even tighter spots!

---

We now turns are view again to another group of Enji, who are facing off with the mysterious Zexion! At the same time Cloud and Doug's groups got intercepted, Zidane, Garnet, Steiner, Vivi two, Freya, Amarant and Vincent all found themselves in the sights of this grey haired foe! We now rewind a bit to just as the Dark Enji is looking at them and says,"My, what a interesting group of fighters. Still, if Maraluxia insists on wanting to take Ben Auro's life I can settle for you all. I am sure killing all of you can still be a work of art."

Zidane gets annoyed at this and retorts with a dry," Don't think you got the winning draw smiley, we are going to take you out!"

Zexion chuckles and says," Ah yes, Zidane Tribal, I am aware of your talents. Rest assured, I have what it takes to handle you and your friends."

Amarant looks annoyed and readies his claw gauntlet as he says,"Really? Because if you think all you need to take us out is some book then you're in for a world of hurt punk. "

Zexion chuckles as his magic energy grows and he says,"Your ignorance will cost you my red afro friend. Have you not heard the expression knowledge is power? Allow me to demonstrate why in its most fatal form!"

Vincent clicks his Cerberus gun and says,"Careful, I can bet he has a lot more than a book up his sleeves. This guy is the type who most likely leads us on for some sort of traps. Be ready for anything."

Zidane nods and adds",Don't worry, I dealt with these kinds of weirdoes before. Won't be my first time dealing with crazy books. Still, the only way to find out what he has up his sleeves his to force him to roll them up! Cover me guys!"

With that Vivi fires of a powerful meteor magic attack as his queen girlfriend Garnet casts a holy spell at their opponent. Vincent reluctantly fires of some bullets as well, but Zexion just snaps his fingers and his magic energy becomes a whirlwind of darkness that defects all the attacks! He then floats up in to the air and says," Sorry, but such attacks are useless against me. Oh? "

He is caught off guard when he sees Zidane running at such speed that he is running on the wall as he then sees the former thieves' sword glow with magic energy before he jumps right for Zexion and says,"Maybe that was, but let's see how you like this! Unlike you, we all can't afford to lose so we will keep coming at you till we win!"

Zexion just closes his eyes and says," You seem to think your special, but in reality you're nothing special in the grand scope of the universal design. I'll show you how easy you are to predict! "

With that Zexion shocks the hero by having his book glow, before it turns in to a dark mirror version of Zidane weapon! He at once blocks the Enji 's slash and says," See you misguided fool? All of your talents are low class and easy to replicate. Let me show you what a true work of art is!"

With that he fires a dark energy blast from his free hand to send the blond haired man flying! At once he sees Steiner charging at him with his Excalibur II sword glowing with power, as Freya coming at him from the left with her Dragon's Hair lance and Amarant lunging at him with his Rune Claws!

However Zexion just shrugs before his eyes glow, and before the trio can hit him his body fades in to dark mist! Before anyone can track where he went when all of a sudden a massive energy flare comes down from the ceiling and hits them all hard! Zexion soon appears again above them and says,"Have we learned our lesson yet? You have no chance of rescuing Ezan, he belongs to us now. Don't worry; we will take good care of him."

This angers Zidane and says," No way are we letting you use him as your creepy groups pawn!"

Zexion chuckles and says," Fool, it's what Ezan wants. He wanted to find the truth about himself, and thanks to Vexen 's admittedly well done plan he found the truth he sought! And now he knows what he is best suited for!"

Zidane then charges at Zexion while saying,"Shut up and stop acting like you know everything about Ezan! I admit he acts like a cold closed off jerk a lot of the time. But we all count on him, he is are friend! And friends don't give up on each other!"

Zexion looks annoyed and has his magical book take its true form again as he says," I see your still driven by hope. I suppose ill have to overwhelm you with despair to drive home the point! "With that he opens his book, and a dark light shines before it suddenly fires a red beam at Zidane!

Garnet sees this and is the closest one to him as she says;"Look out Zidane!"

With that she pushes him out of the beams path, and is hit herself! Zidane and the others are horrified to see her all of a sudden get transformed in to a book with her picture stuck on the pages! Her loyal knight Steiner is outraged as he says,"You fiend! What did you do to her!"

Zexion looks annoyed and responds with a drab," Well, I was planning on transforming your tailed friend in to a book, to make it easier to put it out of print so to say. Looks like I did not hit my intended target though. Still, it changes nothing since ill get you all soon enough."

Steiner then looks at Zidane and says," Look at what your reckless actions caused you scoundrel!"

Zidane gets annoyed and lashes back with,"Don't worry rusty, we will free her soon enough once I beat this guy up till he frees her! No way am I letting you hit me with that!"

Zexion laughs and says,"Well, I admit that version of it is rather straight forward. Good thing I have a more advanced version prepared for restless types like you!"

With that he suddenly fires a larger version of the previous attack in to the ground, and before anyone can prepare many blasts fire out of the ground beneath are hero's, and hit them all! Before he knows it Zidane finds himself in a large vast area of darkness, that has no features and seems to have nothingness go on for miles! Zidane spots Garnet, and the rest of his friends plus Vincent and runs over to the Queen of Alexandra before putting his arms on her shoulders and saying,"Hey, are you ok? "

Garnet sees Zidane and smiles while saying,"Don't worry, I don't feel any major pain. Still, where are we?"

Vincent is all ready on his feet and says," It would seem the Dark Enji used his magic to transport us some ware. But, where? "

They all hear another round of laughter before Zexion forms out of the ground beneath them and fly's in to the air and says," Your all in my world now. If you thought things were rough before, well now they are lethal! There is no hope left for you fools."

Vincent then aims his tri barrel gun at his enemy again and says,"Enough games. Its obvious your using your magic to create numerous illusions. And it will take more than that to stop us."

Zexion looks at the former member of the Turk's and snickers while saying," Ah, you really are a good detective to figure out one of my primary strengths Vincent Valentine. Still, you're wrong. I have more powers then mere illusions. My art is not just for show, its so breathtaking that it literately blasts the breath out of you!"

With that he extends his book again and rips out a few pages, before they take the form of many vultures with the Organization's insignia on them! They all cry out before beginning to dive bomb at are heroes and an annoyed Zidane says,"Oh come on! You think just by changing the backdrop to are fight and having some ugly looking pets back you up you can make us lose hope? You have another thing coming! Tidal Flame!"

With that Zidane uses his magic energy and Dyane powers to fire of a flaming energy circle at the nearest vulture. Vincent and Vivi also back him up and they blast the lead vulture in to the others, and are heroes are shocked to see them all give of a large explosion!

Vincent then mutters a dire," It seems, that instead of a monster it was more like a guided missile. "

Zexion laughs and reacts with a wry," Ah lucky break, you found out the easy way. As they say, art is a blast, and my art will blast all you weak hearted Enji in to nothingness! I have you trapped in my power; there is no escape for you!"

He then begins to create more odd explosive creatures out of his magical book and Vivi looks at Zidane and says," Um Zidane, you have a plan right? Because if we don't figure out a way out of this guy's tricks soon I think we are in deep trouble."

Zidane looks serious and says,"No kidding. But no matter what this guy is not going to beat us. We have been fighting this war so that everyone in the universe can have a shot at their dreams. And we will save Ezan, and survive!"

Zexion looks annoyed and mutters a ," It seems hope is ingrained in to your minds and that only death can rid you of it. Find, I want to see how Ezan is progressing anyway so prepare to die!"

With that the group of Enji soon find them self's surrounded and Vincent says,"His powers, they seem to resemble the Deep ground member Nero. In that case, all we need to do is force him to break us out of this."

Zexion then says, "You can try, but you will fail. No matter what powers you have, they cannot stand in the way of our ultimate goal!"

With that the group goes all out to give Zexion hell. And while they are giving the powerful villain some heat, some of the other hero's are feeling the chill from another member of the very exclusive group!

---

We now turn to yet another group of Enji, Aeris Tifa and Shantotto, who have been dealing with one of the dark order's most senior members! At the start of the conflict with the three ladies Vexen eyes them and says," Ah, it's always a shame to squeeze the life out of such fascinating specimen. Still, if you can't come to your senses I could always analyses your corpses."

Aeris feels a cold chill down her spine and says,"You, you have that same look in your eyes like Hojo. I won't let you get the chance to do any more evil deeds. If you feel nothing for what you done then I won't forgive you!"

Tifa readies herself to fight and says,"Don't worry Aeris, we will make sure you never have to go through that again! Now time to smash apart that annoying smile of yours! "

With that in a flash Tifa charges at Vexen and he quickly blocks with his large icy shield! He back steps and says,"My, you pack quite a punch young lady. Still, such simple tactics are of no use to you."

Tifa just looks annoyed at her enemies snide remark and she then prepares to try and punch Vexen again, but the long blond haired foe punches the ground, to cause the floor around Tifa to become solid ice! Caught of guard she trips and falls, and Vexen is all ready taking advantage of it by having his eyes glow, before a series of ice stalagmites start to erupt near Tifa! As he awaits her impalement he says,"If only you were not so loyal to your comrade, then perhaps you could have lived a little longer! Oh well, so long Enji filth! What?"

His excitement turns to annoyance when he sees a surge of holy energy shatter all of his ice before an instant later Aeris is in front of Tifa! The flower girl does not look amused and Tifa says,"Thanks Aeris, sorry that I was careless."

Aeris gives of a gentile smile before saying," Don't worry, you have my back so I have yours. "

Vexen gives of a mad laugh ," How amusing, your display of friendship would almost amuse me, if I ever had feelings for such worthless rubbish!"

Aeris then looks defiant and says,"You may dismiss such emotions as worthless, but I'll show you just what power such emotions can bring out! What does your Organization desire so greatly anyway? Is it truly worth causing all of this pain? "

Vexen snaps his fingers as he says,"Foolish girl, those afraid of sacrifices will never be able to make progress! Are leader will guide all of us to the new era. And when we are able to at last obtain all the parts we require, are powers will be that of gods! You will not be able to stop us , no one can stop us from evolving in to supreme beings. But you really think your power of friendship can overcome are supreme power? Oh I am so afraid! Right, but this should be an interesting experiment."

With that energy brakes out of him, and surrounds the two girls before they turn in to various Nobody monsters! Despite the grunt dusk nobodies, there are also the larger lance welding Dragoon Nobody's, and the large and powerful Claymore welding Berserker nobody's! As they all begin to encircle two of the most important people to Cloud Vexen says," I hope you're not too frail, because I would hate not to have a sample to study afterwords!"

Aeris just has holy energy surge around her, before a massive explosion of light at once shatters all of the foes minions at once! She then looks at Vexen and says,

I am not as frail as you think."Vexen snickers and says," I can see, how fascinating. But, you do know this only means I will just make your ends even more painful right? "

Vexen then uses his powers to create a mini blizzard and in responds Aeris then states a firm,"In that case, I will have to use all I have to end this madness. Now, Celestial Prism power!"

With that Aeris has holy energy surround her, before her body is covered with holy armor and a powerful lance and shield! Now with the full powers given to her by the celestial being Minerva brought out her energy has grown massively and Vexen steps back as he says,"Ah that is right, the reports did say the Cetra girl was reborn with tremendous power. And even Xehamaru could not deal with that power. Bah, it matters not! The powers you have pail in comparison to are soon to be pawn of darkness! Yes, once Ezan fully embraces his destiny and unleashes the power his body can truly bring out, then none of you Enji will be able to match him! And that event is only moments from unfolding!"

Aeris then says," No matter what Ezan was born to do, it's still his choice to decide what path he truly wishes to fallow. And form what I seen, he has a warm heart under his "Shell", a heart that will refuse to become a servant of evil! Now, it's time your group stops trying to mess with the hearts of others. Photon Feather! "

With this Aeris fires a barrage of holy blasts from her shield, and Vexen fly's up to avoid them only to see them change direction to fallow him! He quickly defends with his shield, but the impact blasts him in to the wall! Growling in anger he looks at Aeris and says,"Damn women, her powers will be even more annoying than I expected to counter. But she can't stop me, nothing can! The experiment is too far in motion to be stopped now! You all think you know Ezan, but I knew his true purpose before he was even born! I know more than anyone that it's his destiny to serve us. Just as its are fate to crush you all! Hahahaha, GAH!"

With that he feels a large burning sensation on his back, and sees that he was hit in the back with a powerful fire magic attack! At once using his power to cause ice to surround him and put out the flames, he quickly turns to the direction of the energy he felt, and sees it was Shantotto who attacked him! The tiny mage is laughing madly and says," You annoying crusty man, you really think you're a genius? Hahahah, your nothing but a armature compared to me! Ill melt all of your ego and have you beg for mercy when I am done with you! Flare!"

She then fires of a powerful magic blast but Vexen has a wall of ice appear before him to intercept it before he says,"Worthless miserable Tarutaru! You dare to think your powers are any where close to mine!? Ill shatter you in to, huh? Damn you!"

He sees while he was yelling that Aeris appeared behind him and tried to impale him with his lance! He backs away just in time, but loses a few strands of hair, and then sees Tifa and Shantotto ready to attack again and says," Enough, I don't have time for theses uninterested details, I must make sure Ezan becomes ours! I'll leave Saix and the others to wrap things up here. Better enjoy your last moments alive Enji!"

Tifa then gets mad and says," I won't let you just run away now! Final Heaven!"

With that Tifa puts all of her energy in to her fist and prepares to smash Vexen with her most powerful limit break, but before she can reach him he opens a portal of darkness and quickly disappear in to it, causing her to just smash down a wall and leave a large creator on the ground! As the ground shakes and she sees he is gone Tifa sighs and says," Man, I am not having a good day."

Aeris lands besides her and giggles through her helmet and says,"Don't worry, I think he just wanted an excuse to leave before he lost. At least we now have one less thing to worry about. Still, I hope we are not too late. The darkness surrounding Ezan is growing, and what is worse is that I am sure I can feel Sephiroth or at least something that feels close in the mix."

Tifa is alarmed and says," Your sure? "

Aeris nods and responds with a tense," I did not tell Cloud because I knew that would make him upset and lose focus. Still, we have to get through theses dark Enji soon to get to Ezan in time. I don't want, this day to end in a tragedy. Ezan, don't lose sight of yourself. "

---

As she and the others then see who needs help the most, we now turn to the man who all of this fighting is about, Ezan! Were we last saw him it seems he did not have much left in terms of self will after the shocker of his true origins. And as we return to him he is still in the process of preparing to unseal the Mother Crystal using his Sharingan eyes! The powers of his eyes are causing the four reactor towers to reverse the direction of the energy in the crystal, and as Ezan sees the crystal begin to crack he smiles and begins to mutter a erratic," Yes, all of this waiting, and all of this pain, will soon mean something. At last, the power I need to take my rightful place will be mine! I see now, that it was meaningless to try and act as a mere Enji Knight, when I was destined for so much more! I, who was built to be without peer, will no longer be outclassed by a mere mortal like Ben Auro! The Chosen one, does not know defeat! But, will this power erase the emptiness I feel? Ah!"

He stops to hold his head in pain, and says," If I at last become invincible, and I fulfill my purpose, what next? AH!"

He then feels a large pain as Sephiroth tries to assert command again and says," What is wrong Ezan? You desire power, so size it! Power, overrides all other weaker emotions. Obtain this power, and your suffering will cease to bother you. Stop delaying this with your pointless second guesses and do what must be done!"

Ezan then shouts back a bitter," I don't take suggestions from you! I will take this power, and use it to rid myself of you! I am doing this for me, no one else! I am not anyone pawn."

With that his eyes glow and he puts more power to crack the seal. As he does little does he know he is being observed by Nag'molda from the room above him vie monitor!

---

The eye patch man is growing impatient and mutters a tense,"Ezan, his doubts worry me. But, even if after all this he is still having second thoughts it matters not. All I need him to do is unseal Promathia .Once I have that power I won't need to be stuck with such a position. AT last I will have the power to take what is mine! Huh? Who is there?"

He hears a noise and turns around to see Vexen appear out of a column of darkness! He looks amused and says,"What is that Nag'molda? I hope you're not having any foolish ideas old friend. I would hate to have to erase another fool who reached to far from his reach. "

The blond Zeon commander looks anxious and says,"Vexen, of course I would not dare stand in you and your groups way. I was merely talking about giving Weil the end he deserves. What are you doing here? Are the Enji dead?"

Vexen sighs and says," Not yet, but they soon will be. I came to make sure things were going are way. I see that Ezan is playing right in to our hands."

His comrade nods and says," Yes, but he keeps stopping to talk to himself. I am worried, what if he decides that after all of this he still wants to remain with the Enji?"

Vexen chuckles and responds with a dismissive," All the Enji justice rubbish that was flooded in to his head may be causing him some slight hesitation. However, in the end his hatred and sadness will override such sediments, like his father. And we will all get what we want. And, if he continues to hesitate, I will just have to give the final, push.

Still, we can't be hasty. If he sees us urging him on his defiance to become are pawn could lead things to get messy. And I would like to present him to lord Xemnas with his heart and mind unaltered, at first at least. Ha, come on Ezan, don't you want to be what you were meant to be? Just give in, show your so called friends what you truly were designed for!

Ben Auro, since you rejected the darkness its time you observe what someone who is in tune with the dark side can master true power! And now it's time you are erased like the nuisance you are!"

---

As he watches Ezan go unleash more power in to the reactors, we now return to his rival fighting to stop him! We return to his dual with Marluxia, which has been an intense fight to say the least!

While Ben was all to eager to get back at the scythe welding foe for helping Larxene escape, he is finding out that despite his improvements Marluxia is still one of the most powerful members of the order! Ben is getting use to the pink haired foe's attacks and is starting to dodge better, but he is still having trouble landing a real hit on the Graceful Assassin! At the moment Ben dodges another slash before firing a barrage of golden energy blasts at his foe. However the " Graceful Assassin" just chuckles and spins his scythe rapidly and shatters then all! He then mutters a enigmatic," Hopeless clown, can't you figure out by now, that your heart will never be able to obtain happiness? Your struggle to obtain redemption for your sins can only end in failure. "

Ben has his power flare up again as he says," Maybe, but I will never stop trying! To make up for giving in to my darkness and becoming Darth Idious, the least I can do is bring a end to this war, and finish of all who are causing this to drag on! And, I won't let you drag Ezan down with you either!"

Marluxia laughs and says,"Such resolve, very impressive. You really are trying so hard to be a good hero eh Ben Auro? But, it puzzles me. Why do you care so much for Ezan? From what Larxene said, he looked down on you all, and thought you were beneath him."

Ben grins and says," I never said Ezan and I were best buddies. But, still, I know he and I have come to an understanding of each other. And, we might just be friends to some degree. But what is more is that we are rivals. And we still have to settle things, and we will do it are own way without interference! Besides, he is a much better rival then Brad. "

Marluxia just laughs madly and says," Hahahaha! I see when it comes down to it, it's just nonsense logic that gives you justification, just like all you other Enji!"

Ben has his Star Sword glow and says,"If a crazy man calls something crazy dose that make it so? I don't think so. Enough, time to end this."

Maraluxia looks down, and his energy swirls around him before it turns in to countless rose petals as he responds with a venomous," Fine, I grow tired hearing you speak anyway. Die feeling true power!"

With that his pedals all surround him, and as Ben braces himself one of the pedals cuts his leg, and he sees that they are all more like razor blades thanks to his opponents power! He at once dashes back before the countless other razor petals have a shot at slicing him up, and jumps high in to the air. He then attacks with a powerful golden crescent energy sword wave attack to destroy some of the pedals. His foe sees this and smirks while saying," It's no use, you will never destroy them all. As soon as you falter you will be sliced apart in to ribbons!"

Ben then glares at his foe and says," Then I guess I'll just have to defeat you before that happens! "

He then unleashes a burst of energy to charge right for his foe and puts all of his power in to his sword as he says," Enough, its time you pay for what you done! Let's see you laugh off this!"

Marluxia just has his power quickly grow as he channels it to his weapon and quips out a snarly," Oh this is a riot, die hero!"

With that he attacks faster than Ben expected with a massive energy wave, which seems to hit Ben dead on! His foe laughs madly as he sees Ben fall in to pieces and says," Well, looks like all your determination made you rather reckless. Oh well, a painful end to a painfully annoying clown. Huh, what the?"

Before he can finish his gloating he sees the parts of Ben, transform in to a pillar, showing that Ben used a substitute spell! He then quickly looks around and says,"

Impossible, how could he have faked himself out without me sensing it? Where did he go? Think you can sneak up on me? Huh? "

He then sees the pillar shatter to his right and Ben is charging at him full speed as he responds with a sly," More or less yes. Now, Divine Flare Edge!"

With that Ben slashes at his foe with all of his power, and Marluxia just manages to block it! As Ben struggles to overpower him he says,"Well, looks like you joined the long list of opponents who underestimated me. And now it's time you pay the price!"

With that he kicks his foe hard in the chest to rocket him in to the air, and prepares to unleash all of his power as he says," You caused me enough pain Marluxia, now it's time you get what you deserve. Block this one, Burning Celestial Shinryukenha!"

With that Ben swiftly fires of his most powerful energy beam at Marluxia while his opponent is still recovering from the last blow! However, just as the pink haired man's widen with dread, out of no ware a new blue energy blast hits Ben's attack in the middle, and sends both of them off course! Just as Ben wonders who did that he gets his answer when a cold voice says,"

You're getting careless Marluxia. It's clear he has improved his skills, and being careless will lead to your demise. "

Ben turns to the left and sees that Saix is glaring right at him! Marluxia regains his composure and says,"Ah Saix, so you just now decide you want dibs on his head? Sigh, you're a no fun as ever. No wonder Ravxen decided not to tag along."

Saix glances back and throws out a casual," I would have joined the fray sooner, but it seems some garbage was being stubborn and I had to insure they were put in their place."

Ben looks over, and sees behind him that Doug, James, and Geno-Wyrmmon all have various injuries and are barely conscious!

Ben gets mad and glares at Saix and says,"Damn you! Saix is it? If you messed with my friends, then you're going to pay!"

Saix slowly walks forward and says," They were able to last longer than I expected, but in the end trash is trash. Now, time to eliminate one of our most major obstacles to our plan before retrieving Ezan."

Ben then has his energy flare up once more before he says,"

I see you have a one track mind, but ill force you to see that my friends are not garbage!"

Ben then throws his Star Sword like a boomerang at Saix before charging at him! However Saix bats it back with ease before lunging at Ben with his Claymore , but Ben is able to dodge, summon his Star Sword back in to his hand with magic energy, and deliver a powerful forward slash! Saix catches the sword with his free hand, and Ben struggles to slash through as Saix says," Your power is great, but you are forever handicapped by your emotions. As long as you waste time on such things, your heart will forever be limited to wasting times on others."

Ben gets mad and says," Fighting for others is not a waste of time! Even if it's painful, having friends is what makes fighting worthwhile! I fight for those that believe in me, and all others that cry out of justice!

He then quickly forms a energy blast in his free hand to the shock of his opponent and says,"And that is why Saix, we will not lose here! "With that before Saix can react Ben slashes Saix across the chest before slashing in to his foe's hand with the Star Sword!

As Saix falls back Ben powers up more and says," I can attack fast and swift when I choose to! And now you're finished!"

Not giving Saix anytime to recover he lunges for his foe's heart to finish him off. However Marluxia quickly reminds Ben he is still around by flash stepping in front of Ben and saying,"

Oh, so quick to forget your priorities? A very costly mistake! Blossom, of the Reaper!"

He then tries to slice in to Ben but Ben is able to change course in time. However Marluxia then attacks once more but slamming his scythe in to the ground, and with his magical power causes a black and pink circle of energy to form below Ben, and are hero barely gets out of the way as it causes a massive geyser of energy to blast out! As Ben sees the energy geyser go in to the sky he looks back at his foe as he laughs again and says,"

Sorry, but there is no mercy. If one on one is to easy, how about a two on one showdown to the death?"

Ben sighs and says,"Well, you guys just love to stack the odds huh? It does not matter; I won't let you win no matter how you come at me! Enough, Senkai!"

With that Ben has his sword glow before it touches the ground, and moments later many blades of energy form out around to surround his two foes! They see all the blades encircling them as Marluxia reacts with a sarcastic,"Well, this is quite the attack."

Ben then looks serious and says," I am the one chosen by the celestial ones to save this universe from the ultimate evil. And that means I still have many things to do. So get lost! Divine Millennium Slash!"

With that he strikes the ground , and all the blades launch at the two black wearing villains! Saix sees the blades coming for him and darkly declares," When will he admit his despair? Is he, guh!"

With that all the swords strike at once, before they explode and cause a massive explosion!

---

This explosion is enough to get all the other fighters attention, and we now turn once more to Cloud Squall and Xaldin, who have been in a stalemate in their battle! They had been going at each other with such speed that they are like three blurs. But when Ben's newest attack goes off they all pause momentarily and Cloud says," That was, one of Ben's attacks. "

Squall nods and says," He must be giving them hell."

Xaldin looks annoyed and says," Bah, I sense both Saix and Maraluxia are there. Surely both of them can handle that buffoon!"

Cloud laughs and reacts with a cagy," I see you guys are just starting to realize that Ben is far from a clown. He may have made his mistakes. But like a true warrior, he did not let that stop him. We all make mistakes, but that is why we are all here to help each other stand up again. The likes of you can't understand, and that is why you're not going to win. Well, one of the reasons."

This angers Xaldin once more and he has his magic energy go wild as the rubble around them gets blown away and he says," Enough of this nonsense! The light can never shine through the darkness of true despair! You Enji are upon your final hour, accept it and embrace death!"

With that all of his lances glow with power and he charges to impale the two, however they both dodge it and Squall says,"You're getting careless. What is wrong, can't accept losing? Get over it, because it's going to happen."

Xaldin then snaps and roars out,"Shut up! My powers are far superior to yours; I won't lose to the likes of those held back by their hearts!"

With that he throws two lances in to the air and has them all close in on Squall from several directions! However Cloud fires a energy sword beam to knock some of the lances of course before charging at Xaldin and saying," You seem to think you know it all, then the pain you are about to feel you all ready know! Cross Slash!"

With that Cloud charges right at Xaldin, and before he can summon his lances or wind he his hit by a powerful combo that slashes him right across the chest! He grasps his chest and says,"Damn you Cloud Strife! But it will take a lot more than that to do me in!"

Squall just sighs and has his magic energy form as he says," That's it, this is getting old. Time to force this battle to its conclusion. Stand back Cloud, I got this. I now summon the Guarding Force Eden!"

With that the green red orbs that most summonses' use to summon circle around the scar faced man, and they forma massive light forms before it heads in to the sky, and turn in to a even larger creature! The light soon forms in to a giant, blue, thing. "Seriously, even now I still don't know just what the hell Eden is though its suppose to be a Garden of sorts".

Anyway, Xaldin stares down the massive creature and says," What the bloody hell is that thing? A summon creature? That's not fair! "

Squall says," You guessed it. Like you guys play fair. Now, let's see if your wind can protect him from this! Eternal Breath!"

With that the massive station like thing fires a red beam that all of a sudden immobilizes him! However, Xaldin quickly sees that this was just to make sure he did not get away, from the even more massive beam being fired from its large yellow like eye in the center! As this massive blast engulfs him Xaldin has his eyes widen as he says," Is this the end? NO, I refuse to let it end like this! Ill crush you damn little, RAH!"

With that Xaldin is shut up as the massive purple energy beam blasts him downward, and apparently drives him deep in to the planet before Cloud and Squall hear a massive rumbling beneath them!

As Cloud sees Eden slowly vanish he turns to Squall and says,"Think that got him?"

Squall shrugs and answers with a gruff," Even if it did not he won't be getting up for a while."

Cloud shrugs back and quips back a indifferent," Whatever. Let's see if Ben and Aeris needs help taking care of their obstacles."

Squall nods before looking around and states," And Zidane's group is still fighting that Dark Enji with the book to. But, where did they go? All of a sudden there magic energy just vanished. "

Cloud then says," I can't sense the man they are fighting either. But, if Vincent is over there then together they should figure a way out. Come on, we have to hurry."

---

The two then move it to help clear a path so they can finally be able to get to Ezan. Meanwhile, while Squall and Cloud can't sense where there teammates went, they are still there, but in a very explosive situation! We now turn to Vincent and Zidane's group once more, who are still stuck in Zexion 's explosive domain!

Zexion has made sure to keep the Enji on their toes, and keeps putting on the pressure with his explosive creations and illusions! At the moment we turn to Amarant throwing a large shrunken to set off a explosive spider before growling and saying,"Zidane, we can't keep this up. Sooner or later he is going to sneak one past are guard."

Zidane then says," I know I know! But, if we don't stop them we are going to feel some major pain. But, as long as we are kept on are toes we can't get near him to shut him down! Damn it, we are playing his game!"

Vincent finishes fringing on a few more guided missile vultures before turning to Zidane and saying,"Leave that to me, I'll take the fight to him. "

With that Vincent uses his power to flash step several times, and try and close the gap between him and his foe! However Zexion sees this and reacts with a intense," Ah, your quite fast, yes, those kind of attacks will never hit you. I'll just have to shift gears to take you out!" With that his energy grows, before he points his hand at Vincent and fires a massive blast of dark energy at him!

However the caped man easily dodges this, but Zexion expected that and rips two pages out of his book, as them glow with darkness and throw them in to the air, before they form a giant nobody Griffin! As it roars and fly's at Vincent the gun welding Enji just says," Your pretty creative with your numerous attacks. However, they still are useless if you can't figure out how to use them effectively!"

With that Vincent fires a powerful ice magic spell form his golden claw, and it freezes the entire explosive creature solid! Zexion then looks annoyed and says,"

Of course I do Enji, that is why you will soon be dead!"

Vincent just aims his gun before he then fires of a few rounds to cause the Griffin bomb to explode, and its explosion is so large it rocks it covers the sky! Not wanting his foe to have a shot at escaping he dashes forward and channels his power while saying," Your knowledge is not as superior as you think, and now it's time you pay for using the knowlge you know to cause suffering to so many! So long you, what the? What is this? No, it can't be!"

Vincent is shocked as he hears from the smoke a female voice laughing before saying," Oh I don't know Vincent, I think I know you well enough!"

With that Vincent sees a women with brown long hair with a yellow braid in a lab coat emerge from the smoke. She is Lucrecia Crescent Vincent's long lost love! What appears to be Lucrecia smiles and says,"Hello Vincent, long time no see. What is wrong, you not happy to see me? "

Vincent just walks back and says," No, this has to be a trick, a illusion. Your body merged with Aeris to form her new body when she was revived. There is no way, you can be still alive. "

His responds is with her walking up to him and muttering a somber," I thought you would be more happy to see me. But I guess I was wrong."

Vincent aims his gun at her and as he sees his aim falter he curses before yelling out a vicious,"Enough Zexion! I know this is your magic!"

Lucrecia then walks right up to him, and puts her hands on his gun while saying," Vincent, don't you love me? "

Vincent clicks the trigger and says," I will always love you, but I won't let the past haunt me anymore. That is why, AH!"

Before he can finish he feels a large pain on his leg, and looks down to see two creatures like snakes similar to Zexion 's other creations bite him on the leg! They both begin to strangle Vincent and Lucecia laughs before saying,"Well, looks like I can't fool you Vincent Valentine! Still, looks like you can't bring yourself to even throw away a memory!"

With that darkness covers her, before she turns in to Zexion! It seems he used his illusion powers to quickly disguise him as her amiss his creations explosion and he looks confident as he says," I must admit you must have a strong will to deduct right away that I was a fake. However, even though you knew it was a illusion you could not throw away your feelings. And that will be your final error! As long as you cling on to your feelings you Enji will never gain true power or prosper. Oh well, you can muse about it forever in hell for all I care. Die!"

With that his eyes glow, and his snake bombs explode right on Vincent! Zidane and the others see this to and Zidane says," Oh no, Vincent! "As they all wonder about the fate of there friend Zexion looks amused and says,"Ah, I call that the one the shattered agony of the bloody valentine! Another work of art. So, who wants to die next? Huh, what the? Why is his power rising instead of fading? No, can it be?"

Zexion soon sees his fears are rectified as the smoke is blown away, and a new figure is were Vincent once stood! Now where Vincent was stands a man with wings, and a much bigger gun! It seems Vincent endured his foe's sneak attack by transforming in to his Chaos form! Zexion narrows his eyes at Vincent and snaps out a dry," Ah yes, you were the one who had such a power. How careless of me. Still, even the soul wrought of terra corrupt can't match my power.

Ill make sure the next blow is the last one!"

Vincent just glares at Zexion and says," You will never get the chance, this ends now!"

With that in a flash Vincent is right in front of his foe's face, and smashes the Dark Enji with his fist and sends him flying! As he is launched in the other direction he glares at Vincent and says,"You, no matter how much you increase your power it won't get you out of this!"

He then fires another barrage of energy blasts, only for Vincent to outmaneuver them all! He then hears another voice say," Hey bookworm, forget you have other guests to? "

He then sees Zidane charging at him from behind, and says,"

Zidane, you can't compare to us, just expect that Ezan is lost!"

With that he fires of another black energy tornado, however Zidane jumps back to get out of its path! Then from the side Steiner charges at him, and Vivi fires of a flare magic spell right at the large armored knights blade to cause a magic sword combo and as Steiner takes a big leap he says," We will not abounded a comrade in arms! Learn well you madmen that a attack on one is a attack on us all! "

He then tries to slash Zexion, but the bad guy back steps out of the way and Steiner just damages a large chunk of the ground. His intended target then says," Such simple minded nonsense will never let you be the victors of this war!"

He then sees Amarant jump up to slash at him with his claws as he says," The only dependable thing about the future is uncertainty. You guys are so sure of your self's that your blind to the truth!"

With that the large former bounty hunter slashes at Zexion, only for him to blast Amarant back!

He then says," Enough, I won't be stopped, are plans are to far in motion to be stopped here! "

He then sees Zidane charge at him with all his power as he says,"Well to bad because we think your plans suck so we are going to bring them crashing down! "

With that Zexion sees Zidane strikes at him and he quickly has his book turn in to a shadow doppelganger of his attackers before blocking and saying,"

I had enough of you! Huh, what is this? "He then sees Zidane unleash all of his power, and turn in to his Trance Mode! He then has his blades glow, before they slash through there imposters! Zidane then gives his shocked foe a hard kick in the chest to send him flying before powering up his own energy and saying,"Maybe now you will learn that you can't copy peoples hearts! Grand Lethal! "

With that Zidane fires a barrage of pink energy blasts at his foe, and at the same time he is aided by his friends as Vive fires of his doomsday black magic, Garnet fires of her holy attack, and Freya fires of her Dragons Breath attack from her spear! All the attacks blast in to Zexion at once, but the crafty Dark Enji has his book turn in to a large shield and he says," No, we will, never be stopped! WE have come to far for all the work to come to this! Huh, no, Vincent!"

He then sees the demonic ally to Cloud and the Enji charging up his Death Penalty gun before saying,"You should know that your taste in art is rather twisted. I think we had enough of your sessions for ever!"

With that he fires of a powerful blast, and the combined assault overwhelms Zexion 's defenses and his barrier is broke! As all the blasts hit him he at once feels them and says,"No, how could I have let this happen!? AH!"

With that the blasts cause a massive explosion, and its so big that everyone sees a light blind the area! When it fades, are heroes notice that they are now outside the roof of the Sacrarium mausoleum, right above where they were fighting before with the others! Garnet looks around and says," How did we get back here? "

Vincent lands besides them and says," As I thought. He used his powerful illusions to make us think we were in a different dimension. But in reality, we were only transported above where we already were. He thought he could drown us in his power, but it was a simple matter of blasting are way out of his curtain. "

Zidane sighs and says," That was a show I don't ever plan on seeing again. So, now what? "

Garnet looks worried and says," Well, I hope Ben and the others were able to defeat this man's alleys so we can reach Ezan. "

Zidane looks amused and says,"Don't worry, with Ben, Squall Cloud and the others must be toast by now. Oh? "

They all see a explosion which happens to been Ben's Divine Millennium Slash attack at this point of time. Upon seeing this Zidane says," Er, maybe not. "

Vincent makes sure his gun is fully loaded and says,"Come on, we are running out of time. And I rather not have another calamity unfold on my watch. "

With that he fly's in to the new hole and Zidane shrugs and reacts with,"Sounds good to me. Ezan, don't lose yourself to your pain! Remember, your not alone! So, lets go back home, all of us. "

With that Zidane and his friends fallow Vincent to see how the other battles are going. And now lets find out are self's!

---

We now see just how well Ben's last attack went, and as the smoke clears he sees the ground in front of him torn apart, and a figure breathy heavy in the middle! Ben sees that he can all ready conform he got one of his intended targets, as he sees Saix bleeding all over!

Saix glares at Ben Auro and seethes out a vexed," This power, how can someone like you possess such power? "

Ben grins and responds with a composed," Looks like your just now finding out how real my power is. Still, what happened to Marluxia?"

He looks around, and only sees a bunch of shredded petals! He then hears a laugh that's all ready gotten old and sure enough the powerful bad guy emerges out of the ground! He then says,"My, I admit you caught me of guard with just how powerful your attacks can be. Good thing I was still to fast. Ah, it might have helped that Saix diverted some of those blades. Good thing your so durable eh Saix? "

Ben then glares at him and says," Good job, making your comrade take the force of the blow to bail you out makes you even lower then the rest! But it dose not matter, ill beat all of you regardless! Huh?"

He hears a growling and turns back to Saix, who's magic aura seems to be increasing! His eyes then glow as Ben finally see some anger in the normally emotionless man and he says," Ben Auro, you think this power can save the cosmos? Fool, its useless! Time for you to know your place, moon shine down!"

He holds up his hand, and Ben looks at the planet's red moon from one of the holes in the catacombs that the fight produced before saying,"The moon? What, you a werewolf or something?"

Marluxia laughs and responds with a gleeful," Oh you will see boy. You really have no luck for it to be a full moon tonight. Saix can unleash his true wrath when it's full! How lovely, you will die now in the most painful way possible!"

With that Ben sees Saix has his magic energy begin to explode, and large panels of the ground are flung up as his hair stands up and his eyes glow! He then roars as his energy creates a shockwave and he points his Claymore at Ben before saying,"Enough! A failure like you can never stop are fate! Ben Auro, Darth Idious, different name same fate! All who try and stop us will die. So MOVE ASIDE!"

With that in a flash he is right in front of Ben, and before Ben can move he finds himself hit hard in the chest by his opponents weapon, and the attack sends him flying! As he moves quickly to the nearest wall Ben says," Saix, all of a sudden his speed and power nearly doubled! I have to, huh? GAH!"

It seems Saix is even faster then Ben thought because an instant later Saix is behind Ben and slams him through a wall! As the rubble falls Saix says,"This is the difference between are powers Enji, expect your fate!"

From the rubble Ben retorts with a driven," I will never, lose to you Saix, no matter how bad the odds are I can't afford to lose!"

Saix just has his power explode again as he growls out," Nonsense. Ben Auro, those are the words said of someone who dose not understand true despair. So I will just have to install it on to you! All will be lost to you, Magna Storm!"

With this Saix fires a barrage of large blue energy blasts at Ben! Ben zigzags to avoid them all and he says," Damn him, he is like some sort of berserker now! I have to wait till a lag in his attack then hit him with everything I got! Huh?"

All of a sudden he sees Marluxia remind Ben he is still here by trying to slice Ben's head of! As he blocks it his foe says,"Oh, sorry but that's not going to happen hero. Saix in his berserker state will not stop until either he or his opponent is dead. And no one has ever survived fighting Saix at his full power besides the Superior! And, I don't feel like just being an observer, let's see how long you can last against both of us!"

Ben sees Saix swiftly closing in on him and closes his eyes as he responds with a dire,"Maybe, but this time your fighting the one who was chosen from the celestial ones. And I don't feel like losing either! Enough playing around, Kaio Ken!"

With that Ben's aura explodes in a fiery red color. And with his new power he is powerful enough to block both of his foe's attacks at once! This angers both the black wearing men and they unleash a furry of blows so fast the three look like blurs! Ben shows he has not been slacking in his training as he manages to avoid all of the attacks his way thanks to the added power of the Kaio Ken magic. And after a minute Ben decides to get the two off his back before in a flash unleashing a barrage of energy sword waves from his Star Sword, and is able to blast the two off of them!

Marluxia gets hit with one of the blasts in the leg, and his eyes narrow as he says,"So, your going all out now? I admit I did not think you have even more power up your sleeve. "

Saix growls and grinds his teeth before saying," It matters not how much power he has. His power, even the power of the star sword is nothing compare to are limitless potential! You can not escape your doom, nor will you save Ezan from his!"

Ben then forms a new energy blade in his free hand as he says,"You may think so, but all of use here refuse to let you twist Ezan in to your new toy. "

Saix then snarls and sends out a shockwave with his Claymore as he says," Enough, there is no exit for you from your fate!"

With that Ben blocks the shockwave, only for Saix to appear right above Ben's head with his Claymore ready to bat Ben's head off! He then says," Perish now you, RAH!"

Just as he is about to strike Ben all of a sudden he is blasted back by two energy attacks, and they were Cloud's Level two limit break Blade Beam attack, and Squall 's Fated Circle Renzokuken skill! As the two swordsmen land besides Ben Cloud says," The only ones who are going to die are you scum. You all right Ben?"

The member of Squad 7 grins and nods before saying," Been better, but feeling good enough to wrap up theses mooks."

Squall then points his Gun-blade at the two foes before saying," No matter how many tricks you guys have, it won't be enough to trip us up."

Marluxia frowns and mutters a gauzy,"Well, seems Xaldin got cocky if he let you guys go. Ah, and come to think of it I can't sense Vexen or Zexion around here either. "He then sees a holy light shine down, and sure enough Aeris still in her Celestial battle armor float down with Tifa and Shantotto before she says," Your friend Vexen decided he no longer desired to fight and went off. Maybe it would be wise for you two to leave as well so we could avoid more needless violence?"

Vincent then fly's down, still in his Chaos form and aims his Death Penalty gun at Saix before saying," Zexion had some crafty tricks up his sleeve, but he could not stop us either. Now, its time to wrap things up. "

A new voice then says," Not, yet, you can't stop us so easily Enji!"

With that a new dark portal appears before Zexion warps out of it! His arm looks damaged from the previous combined assault he got it with, and his left arm is bloody and his face bruised as Marluxia says,"My Zexion, looks like they did a number on you. "

Zexion looks annoyed and says," Bah, I misgauged that last attack nothing more. I still am far from finished!"

Ben then says," You guys are almost as stubborn as me. Still, I think this is getting old. Time to wrap things up, huh, what is this? "

Everyone feels a large tremor, before a massive purple light can be seen!

Aeris then says," This power, its growing even larger. Its like a force of evil that is ready to explode! I don't think we have much time left!"

Squall quickly adds a stressed," Damn it, we have to get to Ezan now! The only thing to do now is to split up as some of us hold theses guys of while the rest put a stop to things. Ben, you go. Your powers make you able to move fast enough to stop it in time." Ben then says," Are you sure you can handle theses guys on your own?"

Zidane runs past Ben still in trance mode and says," Come one, what are we chopped liver? We can handle these idiots just go!"

Cloud then says," Ill go to, just in case the others are laying a trap or something. "

Aeris then nods and says," Be careful Cloud, but don't worry about us. Vincent I and everyone else can finish this fight."

Tifa then grasps her fist before she adds ,"So get moving so we don't have another one on are hands!" Ben then nods and says,"

All right, I understand. Be careful. Well, before I go ill just leave a calling card. Multi Shadow clones!"

With that Ben uses his magic power to create a dozen copies of him self! Saix charges again and says,"You expect worthless projections to stand in my way! Ill shatter them in a instant!"

He then goes to smash through them, but two of them block the strike with there Star Swords! Ben, the real one has his magic energy surge as he says,"Heh, they won't just fall down as bowling pins. All right, good luck guys!"

With that Ben and Cloud dash at full speed to the source of the power they are sensing, knowing they can't afford to waste another second! And as they rash on little do they know they might have even less time then they thought, and we now return once more to the reason for all of theses battles!

---

It seems that Ezan is almost done with using his power to break the seal on the Mother Crystal. And at the moment we turn to Ben's rival, whose Sharingan eyes are directing the energy of the four reactors to overload. He feels the crystal cracking and grins saying,"

Yes, this is it; I can almost taste the power from with in! Soon, soon I can at last fulfill the purpose of all that I have endured. Just when I was beginning to wonder if all of the training was worthless, I see all the suffering was all for this day! Once, I reach my full potential, ill show Garma, how much I think of treating mother like that. At last, I will have the power to bring true justice to all who deserve it! We will get revenge for all who mistreated us! Now, come in to me! Huh, what is , this feeling? What is that? Why, do I still hesitate?"

He then remembers about reading his mothers words, and how she wished he could find happiness and not be a tool for war. However, he then shakes his head and says,"No, mother through this I will be able to be happy. I am not a tool of war, I want to punish though who commit evil. But, did I ever have a choice? All I knew from birth, was to fight. I,"

---

As Ezan continues his inner monologue the ones trying to push him to the path of everlasting darkness worry about him pausing and Nag'molada turns to Vexen and says," Damn it Vexen, why is he stopping now? You said he would not hesitate anymore!"

Vexen looks annoyed and responds with a wary," Not sure, by now he must realize this is his true destiny. Still, it perplexes me why he is still holding back. Hehe, I know. Perhaps, for the final push he just needs a reminder of what he was made for! Come with me, time to snap him out of his indecisive funk!"

He then grabs the eye patch wearing man by the hand as he says," Wait, what are you, whoa!"

With that Vexen uses his power to warp him and the Zeon military man out of the monitor room, into right behind Ezan in the reactor chamber!

Vexen then looks impatient and says," Do it Ezan, fulfill your destiny! Unleash the seal and you will not have anything to worry about! I know you were designed for this. You see I knew from the beginning you were fated to be one of us. After all, it was I who was one of the ones who worked on your creation! "

This snaps Ezan out of it, and he turns to the Dark Enji and says,"

What?"

Vexen chuckles and elaborates with," That is right. Way back then I was asked to work on the project by Garma Kaiba. Heh, and Nag'molada here was the one whose base we used for the research. You see Ezan? You exist to be the ultimate fighter! Join us, to fulfill are aims of perfection. Sever your ties with the Enji, who are merely holding you back, and join us to take your proper position!"

Ezan then looks at the crystal again and says,"I really was created, to be the supreme solder. I guess, it's useless to waste time on such other worthless thoughts. Huh? "

He then feels a burst of energy, and from the corridor lands Ben, with Cloud right behind him! Ben is breathing hard, but he takes a look around and says," Stop Ezan, he is wrong, you don't exist merely as a tool of war! "

Ezan looks annoyed and says," Ben Auro, what are you doing here? Think you can stop me? Or are you trying to deny me what is rightfully mine? Either way it's too late, no one can deny me my destiny, not even you! When I break this seal my power will once more eclipse yours, as it should be!"

Cloud then says," Stop it Ezan, your falling in to there trap! They will say what ever lies they can to try and get you to join them! Whoa!"

All of a sudden a shockwave of power blows them back as Ezan 's rage explodes and his Sharingan eyes glow as he says," No, this is not a lie. I at last finally found out the truth. The truth about my father, about my mother, about me, everything! Now I see clearly, one I was created to do!"

Cloud is shocked at hearing this and says," Created? Your kidding, your saying you were created to be a warrior, like those of SOLDIER? Like Sephiroth?"

Ezan has a sorrowful face as he says," That is right Captain Cloud. It seems the Kaiba family wanted to be the head of the creation of most powerful warrior in all space. And so Garma, went to great lengths to win over my mother, Naimine Uchiha. She fell in to his lies, and soon had no choice but to marry him! But Ansem Zeon, was my true father it would seem. But he did not care to try and make me aware of it. They all wanted me to fight, so I fought, battle after battle. But, I am tired of mindless battles! I will fulfill my true destiny!"

Ben takes a deep breath and reacts with a calm," Wow, that was a lot of information. Er, look, I have no idea how much of that is true or not. But, even if it's all true, there is still no reason for you to throw away all you believed in! What we are fighting for, is not worthless! It's to end this war, and make a lot of people happy! And it's also to make sure the supreme emperor of darkness, Chaos Zannacross Necron dose not have his way and get brought back so he can rip apart this whole dimension! Ezan, you talk all the time about a warriors pride and honor. Now your just going to be a sell out like Kira?"

Ezan just looks annoyed and says," Why, why are you so determined to stop me from this?"

Ben then sighs and snaps back with," Because I am your friend idiot! I mean, you're a pain to deal with sometimes but I know your someone I can count on. And friends don't let other friends do things as dumb as becoming pawns of a organization of messed up freaks! Zidane, Squall, Senel, and all of the Enji are your friends to! And that is why it's not your fate to serve evil, no matter what you were built for! Beside, how are we going to have are decisive rematch if you go nuts? You have a choice Ezan, so its time to decide what you truly believe in."

Ezan looks in a daze and responds with a conflicted," What I, truly believe in. Sometimes I don't think I believe in anything. For so long I just thought it was acceptable to complete what ever mission I was assigned. I was a warrior after all, the big decisions were for those giving orders. But, after what happened with Kira, I knew just fallowing orders blindly could lead to unacceptable outcomes. However, what purpose is one who was created to do nothing but erase? "

A very annoyed Vexen has his power form as the area around him begins to freeze and he says,"Enough of this nonsense! Your faulty logic can't change the facts. Ezan was created for this very purpose. So stop wondering why he is giving you the cold shoulder! I won't let you interfere with my grand experiment!"

With that Vexen fires a blast from his shield, and it hits the ceiling, before many very large icicles fall down in a attempt to impale Ben and Cloud! How ever in a flash they both slash the large sharp chunks of ice there way.

However Vexen continues his assault by having large chucks of sharp spiky ice and hurls it at the two! As Cloud splits his sword in to two and slashes the harmful objects heading his way he says," Come on Ezan, do you really want this to be your fate?"

Ezan then looks back at the Ansem reports in the corner of the room, and his mother's diary before saying," I just, don't, know. Mother, if only I could. "

At this Nag'molada walks forward and says,"Stop blabbing about that women! I knew your mother, she was too weak. It's no wonder Garma did what he did. Despite her power she was to foolish. Namine Uchiha, she was a fool. Prove you have your father's will, and embrace your fate!"

Ezan then says, Don't talk about my mother like that you scum. Namine Uchiha, was not a fool! Huh, what is this feeling?"

All of a sudden everyone sees a large flash of light emerge from the left part of the room, and all of a sudden, a small orb fly's out!

The orb floats up to right in front of Ezan before scanning his eyes and says," Voice track confirmed, Retinal scan conformed. Confirmation of Ezan Zeon, now displaying recording."

With that its top opens to reveal a kind of projector, before it begins to shoot out a light! Ben sees this and says," Now what? I am not sure I am ready for another surprise. "

Vexen then says," What is this? I never saw that device when I checked the room before! Could, it be made to only respond to Ezan? Then could it be, no, NO!"

By then the light from the orbital droid takes the form of a gorgeous blond haired women wearing a white dress. Ben and Cloud notice that she has the same eyes as Ezan. This at once gets Ben's rival's attention as he says," What is this, mother? "

What appears to be a hologram of Namine then smiles and says," My son, if you are seeing this message then it means that I am no longer among this world. However, I hope with all my heart that you were able to find my diary, and was able to discover the truth about your self if you have not learned it yet. Ezan, I am sorry I was not able to stop Garma form having his way from you. Please forgive me. I know I could have done more, if I had taken your true father, Ansem's, advice. I knew I should have went with my heart. But, I thought it was best for my family. And Garma did have his charm and seemed to care for me.

In any case, I do not want you to live a life predestined for you, a life as a tool of war. Neither light or darkness can concur you. So don't run from the light, and don't fear the darkness. Both will make you stronger. Please, my son. Please, be able to find your own happiness. Use your talents, to bring a better future to all worlds. Your power is yours alone. No matter what anyone says. So, don't fear your power. If you can truly come to understand your powers, and how to best use them, you will be able to escape the deepest darkness and see through the brightest light.

So please forgive me for not being able to live a little longer. I will, always watch over you, from one realm or another. So, with this final memento I had Ansem keep safe. I love you Ezan, now and forever. "

With that the image fades, and the small droid has a golden blue bracelet pop up before flying over to Ezan and saying,"End of message. If you would like to erase, please press square or press circle to delete."

With this Ezan slowly picks up his mothers memento, and for once Ben sees some emotion form as a single tear forms out of his rival's eye as he mutters a strained," Mother, you really did care for me. And father, even you cared for me as well. "

Vexen snaps at seeing this and says," Oh give me a break! Your telling me your going to stop when your so close just because your mommy left you a note? "

Behind him Nag'molada snickers and says " How sad, he truly is his fathers son, a nostalgic fool! Ansem Zeon died because he clung to tight to foolish dreams! Don't make the same mistake, fulfill your destiny, shatter the Chains of Promathia and unleash the power you desire to crush all who stand in are, er, your way!"

Ezan then holds his head in pain as he says," No, I won't blindly fallow this path any longer! I am not a spawn of war, even if that was what I was built for! I am Ezan Zeon, the super elite Enji warrior of light. I have always battled for justice, and I will continue that path. I will never let anyone persuade me off that path again!" Vexen looks furious and says,"

You failure, you dare to defy your very nature? What do you hope to achieve? Try and walk the path of light, even while you are fated to be the prefect warrior of darkness?"

Ezan glares right at Vexen with his Sharingan eyes and says," Neither of those paths suit me so I will take the middle road."

Vexen then looks amused and says," Oh, you mean the twilit road to nightfall?"

Ezan then says," No, the road to dawn."

Ben looks relived and says," That's it Ezan, show them where you stand once and for all!"

Cloud smirks and says,"Glad to hear your real choice Ezan. "

Vexen is clutching his hand as he says," You fool! You're making a very grave mistake Ezan! You're just walking to your death!"

Ezan then says," No, this is my parent's will, MY will. I won't turn back! So, if you can't expect that allow me to, huh, no, not now! Stop it, Sephi, AH!"

With that Ezan screams out loud in pain as his head throbs and Ben says,"Ezan, now what? Whoa!"

He then sees a aura of darkness explode out of Ezan and nearly blow everyone off there feet! A single dark angel wing forms out of Ezan as his voice sounds possessed as he says,"

Oh, so you try and grow a backbone just at the last minute? It is futile, you have gone too far to stop now puppet, so its time for the true event to be unveiled! You can not deny me, from what I deserve! So let us end this struggle! "

Ezan then briefly struggles for control of his body as he says,"Never, I will never let you overtake me Sephiroth! "

Cloud's eyes widen as he says," No, it really was Sephiroth? So, his sprit did latch on to Ezan from Xehamaru's failed ritual? Ezan, he has been holding back his sprit from taking over like he did to Kadaj all this time, incredible. In any case, this ends now!"

With that Ezan turns to the spiky haired man and his eyes narrow as he says,"No one, will interfere!"

With that he has his eyes glow, and pillars of black fire erupt all over the room, and Ben and Cloud are nearly consumed with two of them! Ezan, or more like Sephiroth then turns back to the mother crystal and his aura of darkness blasts in to the crystal as he says," And now, at last, the return of the one and only true chosen one will be returned! Now, huh, what is this? No, it can't be? Stop delaying the inevitable fool! I had enough of this defiance, time you, Guh!"

All of a sudden the sliver haired man begins to have his hand shake, before he grasps his head again! Who ever is in charge of the body is screaming loud and Ben says," My, it seems like Ezan is giving him hell. Come on, show him who is boss!"

We now briefly turn to the depths of Ezan's mind, where the spirit of Sephiroth is trying to consume and overtake the young Enji 's soul entire! Sephiroth is pressing his blade down on Ezan as he says," Give it up. You can never win against me. You and I may have similar fates. However, I am the superior one. I am the one who is chosen to guide all planets to there proper destinies! I will never be stopped by the likes of you, who can't even realize there fate. "

Ezan looks determined, and says, I do know my true fate at last Sephiroth. It just happens to be one with out you in any way! Ill show you my real power, now get out, I will never be your puppet again!"

With that Ezan's Sharingan eyes fire a beam as Sephiroth, and he is consumed with holy energy! As the long haired man's sprit is being lifted forward he says,"

What is this power? He never had it before, could it be? No, this can't be, I will not be denied!"

With that a surge of light engulfs his sprit, and he seems to have been last exorcized from Ezan with the full power of Ezan's will, with a little boost from his mother's magical memento!

On the outside Ben and Cloud see the darkness around Ezan evaporate as the wing disappears as well, and the darkness forms in to a shadow before it leaves entirely!

Ben then inches closer, on guard as he says," Um, so, your still you Ezan? "

Ezan breaths hard, and looks up, and Ben sees his Sharingan eyes again, only they look different. Ezan is breathing hard, but seems to be himself since his magic energy is his normal color as he says," Of course I am, did you forget who you're talking to Ben Auro? "

Ben smirks and responds with a nonchalant," Heh, but of course."

Ezan nods and mutters a strained," Good, Urg. "

With that Ezan falls down, and seems to have been wiped out as Cloud says," Ezan, you really are committed to the light."

Vexen is speechless and says," Those eyes, his eyes, they evolved in to the Mangekyou Sharingan? That means, he has all ready mastered his powers to the same level as Ansem. No, NO! How could my experiment have gone so astray!?"

Ben points his Star Sword at Vexen and says," Maybe because all along, just like me you assumed too much about Ezan. So, now that you have seen that Ezan will never willingly join you. Why don't you get lost while you still have the chance? "

Vexen walks backwards as he says,"Damn you Ben Auro, you will all pay!"

Nag'molda leans back looking nervous as he says,"No, it can't end like this! Just when the powers, the knowledge and truth of creation were at my finger tips. Huh, what is this?"

The eye patched man looks up and sees a dark humanoid energy lunge to him. The Zeon commander freaks out and says," What the, what is this? Stay back!"

He then hears a voice boom out a murderous,"The return of Sephiroth, will not be, DENIED!"

With that all of a sudden Nag'molda finds the dark energy blast in to him! Moments later the man begins to spasm as he says," No, stay out of me! Ah, AH!"

All of a sudden be begins to twitch, before his entire body is covered in dark energy! As the man begins to rise from the ground Ben says,"What the hell is going on? Hasn't this day gone on long enough? "

All of a sudden, the consumed body shocks everyone, by diving right in to the mother crystal! Even Vexen is shocked as the four reactors encircling the Mother Crystal have all the energy they have blast at the body, and this reaction causes the crystal to at last explode!

Everyone in the room is blinded by a bright malevolent light, and this light reaches the area where the others are still fighting!

Aeris sees this and says," No, this can't be."

Tifa then looks at her friend and says," Aeris, what is it?"

Aeris just looks down and says," Something horrible has happened. I no longer sense Ezan being controlled by the darkness. But, now I sense that darkness, has turned to,"

---

We now interrupt her speech for an important event, the fading of the light back where Ben and Cloud are! As the light fades Ben says,"Is this another one of the Dark Enji's tricks?"

Cloud just says," No, I don't feel the same energy. It feels like, huh?"

The two look up, and see that the Mother Crystal has been shattered! Vexen sees this and as he sees the chamber as been set ablaze he says,"What the, where is the corrupt celestial begin Promathia!? Surely such a powerful body could not have just dissolved no matter how much time has past! What the, oh no!"

All of a sudden a massive tremor unfolds and everyone struggles to keep from falling over. The earthquake subsides as quickly as it arrived but suddenly everyone feels a surge of power as a new voice coldly interjects with a cold and calm,"Oh, the body of that celestial one was there. However, after such a long passage of time it seems its mind has faded away. But thanks to that, the many souls of this world stored here, and the body of that pawn, a wondrous event has occurred."

Cloud hears one word of the new voice and his eyes narrow as he looks up and mutters a horrified," No, it can't be!"

With this Cloud, and Ben sees Cloud looking more afraid then he has ever seen his Squad Captain look. And so as Ben looks up he sees a man landing on the ground in front of them, but its not just any man!

While the area is covered with flames the flames move away from this individual, as if it is a part of the man. It's a man with long sliver hair, a black uniform with shoulder pads, and green eyes, pricing eyes that seem to be staring right in to Ben's heart.

As he lands he has energy form in to a very, very long sword, a Masamune type custom sword. This man, is none other then the most hated man of Cloud, the one who killed Aeris, and nearly destroyed Cloud's world twice!

Its Sephiroth, alive once more!

Cloud then at once gets in to a fighting stance and says," Sephiroth! So, you found a way to come back from the dead again. Damn you!"

Ben sees the cold calculated grin of Cloud's archenemy before he mutters," So, at last, this is Sephiroth, the man who caused Cloud Sensei so much suffering. But, how did he come back? Ezan rejected you!"

Sephiroth looks delighted as he causes his magic energy to explode, and Ben Cloud, and even Vexen are blown back as the two Enji struggle not to be brought down to there knees as the revived monster of a man's energy seems to spread over the planet like a horrible storm of malice! The former First Class SOLDIER commander looks right at Cloud's face, and an evil grin forms as he responds to his one time subordinate with a icy," So nice to see you again, Cloud. Why do you act so surprised?

I thought I told you, I will NEVER become a memory. "

Well, it seems that at last Ezan has come to terms with who he is, and has rejected both the grasp of Vexen and the other Dark Enji and the spirit of Sephiroth. But in the process, the One Winged Angel has took advantage of his surroundings , and instead of the return of the corrupt celestial one Promathia, Cloud finds him self once again having to deal with the return of his tormentor, with more power then ever before! Can Cloud, Ben and the others return Sephiroth to where he belongs, hell? To find out don't dare miss the next chapter of Tales of the Cosmic Wars!

In are next chapter, Sephiroth is all to eared to explain to Cloud how he came back form the dead, and even more ready to at least unleash his revenge on Cloud! Vexen and the other Dark Enji at first try to get Sephiroth to join them, after the "son" of Jenova shows Xaldin what happens to people who misunderstand him, they all retreat, leaving the Enji to confront him! Aeris, Squall and the others join Ben and Cloud in this showdown, but after absorbing the energy of the dead collected by the reactors, along with the energy of the corrupt celestial one Promathia, his power has become far greater then ever before! Ezan soon wakes up, and is ready to give Sephiroth pay back for using his body as a nesting ground. Can the combined work of are hero's at last stop the wrath of this very stubborn villain? To find out don't dare miss Chapter 105: Rematch of the SOLDIERS! Sephiroth 's Revenge! Till next time!
