Me: I think this is third to final chapter of this fanfic.
Firion: Really? Already at the end? All bummer.
Me: And everyone is going to kill me when they hit the end of this chapter.
Firion: Why? Wait, it has something to do with me, isn't it? DX
Me: You'll see...
A/N: This is the third to final chapter of the story. The last chapter will be like a epilogue of the story and a bit of a showing of the next fanfic, the squeal. I did look at cross overs, it's going to be a crossover between Dissidia and Kid Icarus (since the couple is OCs and they are based off those two games even though the OCs are based of some many others).
Characters (c) Square-Enix
Plot (c) Disney
Cosmos look up to see a heavy armor male with blue eyes similar to hers in between the two after falling off the wall at blinding speed. Growling, the man attacked the king and used his shield to block.
"Mother!" The man shouted, which got her looking at the sliver hair under the helmet. "Get out of there, quickly!"
"Light?" The man nodded on her question before knocking the king to the ground. "Your alive."
"I'm here, mother." Light cried before he ordered his men to attack the guards.
Cecil, removing his dark armor, attacked his best friend with his holy blade. Tidus used his foot to let the guard release him and punch him across the face. Bartz and Zidane lowered the gates to let Firion enter and Cosmos running away. Grabbing his bow with Maria, both shoot down arrows from the archers hanging around the walls at blinding speed. Guy and Bartz, knowing their communication to animals, ordered the birds to peck off the ropes that is holding the dragon. Kain spotted it and grabbed on to the harness, still under Garland's control. Soon Golbez came out from the castle and used his magic to remove all the dark energy out of the dragoon and destroyed it. The dragoon saw the dragon looking at him before removing his hands off the harness.
"Kain!" Cecil said, which got the dragoon to look at him. "The prince has return. But I have-"
"Garland!" Light screamed with his blade and shield ready. "I have return for my throne! Even if I have to kill you for it, I will!"
"Oh Light." Garland smiled under his mask. "I'm very surprise your...alive." He then glared down at Sephiroth and Mateus.
"I've came back for the throne! Haven't you heard that, Uncle?!"
"Of course I've heard yea, brat. I have to say...I wish this won't end in violence. Because what happened to the last king..."
"I've put the past behind me! Your little word tricks aren't going to work anymore!"
"Of course you did, but have your friends did?"
"Light what is he talking about?" Firion ask right beside Maria.
"Go on, Light. Tell them who's responsible for Cid's death!"
Light looked around to see everyone looking at him. Removing his helmet, he kneed down and sigh in dishonor.
"I am..." Light's guilt got a hold of him.
Firion, Bartz, Tidus and Zidane were shocked to hear that. Light is a good man, not a traitor like Garland. Soon the tyrant grabbed his weapon and point it to Light's heart. Looking up in disbelief, Light saw his uncle...hoping to end his life. He look at Firion, the one person he cares for and help him realize emotions, with a single tear running down his face. The tyrant saw the two lovers looking at one another before he smirked.
"See! He amides it, murder!"
"Light!" Firion shouted, which got him held down by the guards. "He's lying! I know you'll never hurt a fly!"
"Hmp, don't listen to him Light." Garland removed his weapon and petted the silver blue hair. "I know you were young back then. Now you'll face punishment for murder."
Light fells chains around his body thanks to the guards. He tried to wiggle his way out but feels so disappointed to his party. At the main square in the village, he was chained up with his armor still on. Everyone looked to see his wrists and ankles bind by two iron poles. Cosmos, disguised as a old woman with Firion hiding has her son, were among the crowd gathering to see the prince's punishment. Garland walked closer to his nephew and sees the blue eyes red due to him crying. Pulling his weapon out again, Garland point it to the heart so Light could look at him.
"Before you die, Light. I have a secret." Leaning to Light's ear, he whispered, "I kill Cid."
Soon the death of his father came back. How Garland and his father were fighting. Cid and Scott's deaths. Garland ordering him to run and never return. With his rage boiled again, Light pulled his iron chains hard enough so he was free once more. Garland tried to guard his nephew's punches, but was knocked over due to the stairs behind him.
"Murder!" Light shouted with his sword ready and the free hand around his uncle's neck. "Tell them the truth!"
"Light...remember that I'm family as we-" He felt the free hand squeezing his neck. "Alright...I did it."
"Louder so everyone can hear you!"
"I killed Cid!"
Sephiroth attacked Light so the tyrant could run away. Firion spotted him and start running behind him. Bartz and Zidane started to fight against some of the guards, which means Tidus got guarding duty for Cosmos. Blades, axes and spears started to clash one another. A stray blow, from a guard to Tidus, was miss and created a spark near the oil barrels. One of the sparks hit the barrel and cause an explosion, spreading out the fire that started it. It spread around the castle grounds and the village. Firion lost Garland but was surrounded by guards and the fire around him. Grabbing his spear, he swings it and created a sweep swing to knock all the guards to the open flame, letting them burn and die in the holy vengeance.
Zidane and Bartz were with Cecil to try to settle down the villagers by letting them retreat on the dragon. Maria then spotted Mateus with her friend, duking it out with the mage casting Flare and Firion dodging the attacks. She tried to help, but Light blocked her path and so did Sephiroth. The general and prince continues to fight. Blows from the silver blades continue to echo in the air as Garland was now at the rooftops of the castle. Sephiroth used his dark magic to cast down a large meteor to kill the prince to his own hands. Light used his light to split the rock into two, one of the parts actually landing on the caster. Soon Sephiroth had enough of these games. Using the last ounce of strength, he created a powerful rip of time and space to destroy everything in range. With a smile across his face, Sephiroth draws his last breath and said, "I'll see you all in hell so Chaos can eat all of you."
Mateus and Firion saw the rift and was running from it. The mage became tricky and tripped the younger male so he could be closer. But his cunning plan failed when Firion roped his feet and pulled him closer. Light saw Firion and grabbed the man's arm, pulling the three closer. Bartz and Zidane whistled for the dragon to take the two royalties out from the rift's grasp. Firion saw his pet and grabbed the tail with Light holding on to his waist. Cosmos was on the back side pasted out. Firion looked down to see Mateus entered the rift, literally was being cut and sliced opened due to Sephiroth's power. If it can kill something in royal blood, then it could disappear. Then if Light could throw Garland to it, then it could not only kill the Tyrant, but it can also save his kingdom.
"Firion!" Light said, seeing Firion looking at him. "Take me to the rooftops! I got a sacrifice for the rift."
"Ok...but come back safe!"
Light hugged his love before jumping off and landed on the rooftops, seeing Garland looking at the destruction under them.
"Light..." Garland spoke up, almost sadden by this rather than glad. "Is this what we have become? Animals that are meant for destruction? But you seems to see this as a rebellion act to get your throne back? And the only way to get your throne back...is to kill me. The last member of your family beside your mother." Pulling out his sword, he gets into battle position with his mask broken. "Light...this is your final trial for you to become king! Let me be your opponent. Objective...kill me in your blade!"
Light pulled out his sword and shield to deliver the first strike. Blinding speeds from both men, Light casted light magic with his uncle countering attack with dark magic. Soon the prince got tactical and used the ashes around them to blind Garland for a split second. The dark king then saw Light deliver the final blow to his chest, creating a large open wound across his chest.
"Well play...Light." Garland then saw Firion landing next to the prince. "But you didn't count on this!"
Before falling off the rooftops, he grabbed Firion's cape so the man could fall with him. Light tried to follow the two, seeing his love near the rift. Bartz and Zidane tried to help, but was feared that the rift will take them. Once Light returned to the village, he couldn't believe what he saw. Garland's body blooded and was killed due to the wound and the rift. But the one thing why he was crying because of Firion. Wounds that were beyond help even for a powerful healing spell. Clothing was ripped off with the armor, leaving Firion only with his pants. Weapons scattered around him, mainly his sword still in his hands. Tidus, Bartz and Zidane lifted up the second prince to see the eyes closed and the blood dripping off his lips.
"Light...I think Firion is...dead." Bartz said, seeing the man crying his eyes out. "I think you need your alone time."
The three left the prince alone with Firion's body. Cosmos saw her son cradling the other one's body, vowing to never let go. She walked loser to her child, seeing Light's eyes red from crying.
"Firion changed you heavily, didn't he?" Cosmos asked before Light cleared his face. "He's your first love? Cid almost sacrificed his life for me as well. Hmm, but Firion's death..."
"Don't say he's dead...I'll find a way to bring him back to life." Light said, grabbing Firion's blood sword. "I promise."
"But I know how to revive him."
"Really? How?" Light was excited to hear that.
"Take his body to the shrine. I'll do it there."
With a smile across his face, Light picked up Firion's body and found a blanket. Covering up the body, he looked down to the face to see his lover looking like an angel sleeping. The dragon was crying in the grounds. Bartz and Zidane was crying, or mourning for Firion. Light his hopeful to his mother's words. If there's a way to revive his love, then he'll find a way.
