Garland decided to put his plan into action. The dark day for both Light and his kingdom is now. Garland was appointed from Cid to take his son for training. He got the perfect place. An old temple to the south of the castle grounds. Golbez never trusted the banished brother and followed the two to the shrine.

The ruined tiles were enough to make someone fall to the spiked flooring under them. Pillars broken like shattered glass and the throne was busted down. To the people of harmony, this temple is their version of the Chaos Shrine. Garland was just blocking his nephew's sword attacks with one half of his weapon. The other was behind his back so he doesn't use it.

"Nice one, Light." Garland smiled under the mask. "Your becoming soft aren't you? Having some girl troubles?"

"I'm not in love, Uncle."

"Sure you are. I can tell because your not putting enough power to your swings. Let go of your emotions and give me a good swing!"

Light sigh and pretended to have no emotions at all. Gripping his weapon with two hands, he swung the blade hard enough that it broke a piece of his uncle's mask so one eye was looking at him. Garland placed his weapon down a bit and sat on the throne.

"I've heard of your little trip at the Land of Discord."

Light swallowed. "You've heard it as well?"

"Everyone heard it. I've got to admit...without your little friend, you've could have died back there."

"Yea, but I was brave like any king."

Garland laughed before spotting Sephiroth and Mateus were around the corner. Light felt something odd in the area and started to search the area. The knight spotted the two at the light source and return to Light.

"Light," said Garland spoke up silently so the two wouldn't be spotted. "Being brave isn't one key element of being king. Didn't your father said it's based on the people?"

"No...I barely listened to him now all of a sudden. I don't know why..."

"Love troubles I bet."

"For the last time, Uncle...I'm not in love!"

"Cecil told me you did cry about Firion."

"Cursed that knight...but at least that's the only thing I felt. Nothing else hasn't came to me yet."

"That's good..."

Sephiroth decided to break the light without waiting for his master's orders. Light had a backup light because of his scale necklace. Garland could feel his dark energy growing inside of him. Having all of his powers returning to him, he decided to kill his nephew in his own hands. His blade started to glow bright red with dark magic. Garland swing his weapon to Light but it became stuck to the wall. With his weapon in hand, the prince did a mighty swing near his uncle's uncovered eye, creating a noticeable scar around the right eye. Sephiroth entered the scene and attacked the prince.

Outside the shrine, Golbez noticed some of the wall blasted with a huge blade. Then he realized it's Garland trying to kill the prince! He teleported away and spotted the king near the watering hole when he's filling up his canteen for the day.

"MY LEIGE!" Golbez shouted before being stopped by Kain. "Great..."

"Why are you here again?" Kain asked before he was dunked into the water thanks to Golbez.

"What's going on, Golbez?" Cid asked to see the man glaring down. "What's wrong?"

"Garland is going to kill your son if your not there! You have to go to the shrine and protect him!"

Cid ran off to see Scott running with him. Cecil decided to follow the two from behind. Once the three people arrived at the shrine, they spotted Mateus and Sephiroth talking about something.

"Once Cid comes and tries to save his little brat, we'll stall him and weaken him. Sounds like a plan?"

"Yes, but our powers is really strong in the dark. It's the reason why we're wearing cloaks in the first place, General." Mateus said before seeing Scott and Cid. "They're here~"

"Stop being creepy, mage."

Cid and Scott were ambushed by the small army Garland brought to the land of harmony. The king felt his friend being burden by the battle. Holy and Flare spells started to fly between Cid and Mateus. Scott got up and swing his weapon at Sephiroth, but became broken due to the long blade. The silver haired teen grinned and slashed the leader over five feet distance with his blade. Cid catch Scott's bloody body with most of the man's chest cut wide opened. Sephiroth smiled and drive his blade to Cid's chest, causing the king to scream to alert Garland.

"Good, Sephiroth." Garland grinned with the scar bleeding from Light's blade. "I'll be right there."

Light grabbed the rusted shield and decided to swing it like a boomerang to his uncle. The steel alloy helmet made a ding sound, but didn't affect the taller male. No real training in magic, he has to find a mage to heal his wounds. Soon he ran into his father, wounded like him as well. But Scott was behind help...

"Light!" Cid cried out to his child, who has only suffer some brushes and scratches. "Get out of here! Garland is about to-"

Soon the older brother grabbed his younger sibling by the throat and thrown to the near by cliff. Cid got up somehow and stood his ground. Light was secretly watching the match between the two brothers. Garland continues to swing his mighty weapon to the weak king. Cid blocks with all his might against his brother, but was losing due to his fatigue. Soon Garland smiled under the mask. With his scared eye looking down at his brother, Garland threw Cid off the cliff, only to see the man hanging for his dear life.

"Brother!" Cid screamed out of his lungs. "Please help me!"

Garland looked down before grabbing both hands with his clawed gloves. The dark colored fingertips driven into the king's skin, causing the hands to bleed. Removing the mask, well it broke off with his foot, Cid saw the deep blue eyes turning amber red, seeing that Chaos has finally got a hold on his older brother.

"Long live the king!" Garland shouted as he throw Cid to the gorge.

Light climbed down to see the blood of the king slowly falling off from the tan skin. Soon the storm clouds filled the sky with it's dark atmosphere. Rain started to pour down like as if the gods were crying. Light was at the bottom of the gorge to see his father continue to fall before someone he recognize comes falling down.

"Your highness!" A man screamed and echoed to the earth's wall.

"Scott?!"

Light looked to see it was Scott trying to rescue his king. Cid reached out from the leader's outstretched hand. With the two index fingers touching, both males hit the hard, cold earth. The prince closed his eyes and opened them to see the two men died. He pulled on his father's arm to see the man lifeless. It was official...Cid was murdered. He lifted the arm and laid down on the soft earth to sleep next to his dead parent. Garland looked down with his face fully exposed and scar now visible to the prince. Growling at the sight, he then thought of something...odd. Blame the poor prince on the king's death and let him be guilty free during his rule? He teleported down to the gorge to see the prince looking at him.

"What have you done, Light?" Garland asked with a dishonored tone in his voice.

"Uh well..." Light was startled to see the older brother looking at him. "You two were fighting..."

"But I didn't kill him. You were down here waiting for him. Do you want the crown so soon, Light?"

"No! I'm not even a knight yet...what should I do, Uncle?"

Garland smirked and spoke softly, "Run."

"What?"

"Run and never return. This is the only way your life is spared."

Garland spotted the child leaving him alone. With the rain pouring, darkness has spread fast. Sephiroth and Mateus came around the corner to see their master's face visible with the scar.

"So, any ideas about your nephew, master?" Sephiroth asked with his hood down.

"Kill him."

Garland's tone turned evil. Sephiroth and Mateus ran to Light's direction and started to create pillars of darkness to the prince. Mateus casted Flare to Light but was reflected off thanks to the scale. Sephiroth blade started to rip the air and started to create stream of blade slashes to the prince. A few hit and ripped off some if the black clothing off of Light. The prince spotted a dark route to hide. Mateus used a small fire to see the spiky covered road and saw bits of black clothing on the spikes.

"Well, go after him!" Mateus shouted to the silver haired teen.

"I'm not going in there! What if we tell Garland we killed him?"

"That's...good."

"If he returns, then we'll kill him!"

"You hear that, prince boy!" Mateus shouted over the distance. "If you return, we'll kill you!"

The two ran off back to the shrine to tell Garland that the prince was killed. Their only proof was the blood stain torn shirt of the prince. The army cheered for their victory. Back at the Wild Rose group, the news of Scott's death was hitting them hard. Firion looked at Hilda and then to Minwu. With the male leader, also his master, gone, he has no choice but to train himself in the art of Weaponmaster. He's secretly knows how to use a staff thanks to Cosmos. Now Garland has to think something to tell to the people.
