Chapter CLXXXVIII:The Unexpected Performance, The Stealthy Iron Wings And The Golden Seals
Return To The Radiant Gardens Final Part

"HHHAAA!"

Racing forwards in the air, her keyblade fully drawn. Nozomi had her sights aimed upon the monstrous demon that towered above herself. Bebuzzu.

His monstrous jaws wide open, revealing his jagged and razor white teeth and rapid swirling tongue. It was clear he was still hellbent upon devouring her and her friends as he reached his long darkened claws straight towards her!

"MINE! MINE!"

"Not today crocky!" With that declaration made, Cait sith turned to his left and as he did so he told his keyblade wielding partner, "Let it rip lass!"

"Gladly!" Nozomi cried out and with that, she aimed keyblade. Then instantly came the attack, "Firaga!"

KABOOM!

Instantly the fire spell was unleashed and was sent hurtling straight towards the monstrous demon's giant eye. Cait sith glad to see this then cried out, "Nice one lass!" However-!

SLASH!

Immediately using his giant claws, Bebuzzu smashed the ferocious fire spell extinguishing it in moment's! Seeing this, quickly Nozomi and Cait sith knew this was bad as they looked on with terror as-!

"YOU ARE MINE!"

With that he moved his claws towards them and quickly-!

"AGH!"

The female keyblader and cat were grabbed and held within it's terrible clutches and-!

"RRROOOAAARRGGHH!"

They were quickly being dragged straight towards his wide opened mouth! They was going to be swallowed whole by the horrible monster and-!

"Nozomi!"

Quickly rushing in from above with his spear in hand-!

SLASH!

Timbre came flying and he sliced into Bebuzzu's sharp digits and in seconds-!

"Whoa!"

"GGRRAAGGHH!"

The monster released Nozomi and Cait sith from it's hold in moments. Feeling this happen, immediately the female keyblader rolled in the air and her wings carried her up again. Flying again, she turned and quickly cried out, "Timbre thanks I-!"
"Don't thank me yet!" The pink haired Sphynx then cried out, for looking behind himself he replied, "For I think this thing's-!"

BLAST!

"Agh!" "Whoa!" "Hey!"

Immediately Bebuzzu was unleashing his barrage of lilac lasers at the heroes! All of them were quickly trying to avoid the deadly lines that were heading their way.

"Oh geez! Whoa!?" Timbre cried out, for he was doing his best to avoid these terrible blasts of power! However even with all his amazing agility even he was finding it difficult!

"Agh!" Ducking as one of the lasers brushed over her head burning a few strands of her hair away, Nozomi then cried out in distress, "Why does he suddenly have to-!"

"RRROOOAAARRGGHH!"

Turning in fright as this enormous roar was bellowed out, the female keyblader then saw that Bebuzzu was building up one huge burst of power and in another second-!

KABOOM!

He unleashed it! In horror Nozomi along with Cait sith and Timbre saw there was no time for any of them to escape! The large laser was clearly going to bathe them in an agonising burning sea of lilac, they were going to-!

SHINE!

Suddenly though rushing in, shining brightly like a ray of sunshine came a powerful being that was their ally. Shielding them all with her own protective powers of light, it was none other than-!
"Raiyana!" Nozomi cried out happily.

The radiant shining female Nobody with her double sided scythe was spinning it rapidly, dispersing the powerful lilac rays and as she did so in fierce concentration, she asked gritting her teeth, "Nozomi, Cait sith, Timbre are you all alright!?"

"Just about!" Came the male Sphynx's reply as he was doing his best to shield his eyes from the powerful light from the blast of power that was still trying to come their way.

Cait sith though decided to say as a great flood of relief flowed through him, "Boy lass, it's a good thing ya came flying when ya did! Otherwise if ya didn't we would have-!"

"Tch!"

Nozomi hearing Raiyana twitch in pain, quickly realises something was wrong! As she did so, she then saw her weaken in her stance and as she did so-!

"Raiyana!"

Immediately Nozomi rushed to the side of her friend and as she did so-!

BLAST!

"AAAGGGHHH!"

The heroes were all struck by the overwhelming blast of Bebuzzu's power! The terrible power flowing all over them was agonising and in seconds... it paralysed them as it drained away finally. Leaving none of them able to move.

Groaning as she felt this horrible pain, Nozomi could barely feel anything anymore and it was clear none of the others could either...

Raiyana seeing what her weakening had done, struggled as she breathlessly said, "Every...one, I, I'm sorry... I didn't get rid... enough of his power, I-!"

"At last...!"

In alarm, hearing this monstrous voice speak the heroes turned. There they saw again Bebuzzu reaching out and with his claws open he then informed the shivering and petrified heroes. As the shadow of his horrible touch lingered over them, they then all heard him say,

"Now I have you all!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Oh! I feel I can fly!
Won't you see me try!
High up way in the sky!"

Doing their best in concentration to keep their melody up, as the songstresses in this fight. It was clear that even they were struggling, for with their power mixed with that of Cait sith's protective force. It had strengthened the shields and fully stopped the time freezing from effecting all of them including those who were currently actively fighting.

However, this powerful magic was taking a strain on them and as Serah and Oralee held onto each other, standing back to back. The two of them would not be able to last much longer. But there was nothing else that they could do!

"Why don't we make your heart feel so light?
For now it is just so right!
Cause we know you're-!

"Oh quit that lame song already!"

BLAST!

"Agh!"

Alarmed, immediately both of the girl's were stilled from their song in moments! As they were, quickly they turned and saw who had distracted them, it was none other than their red haired and annoyed enemy, Irma.

The red eyed sorceress, blowing away a whiff of smoke that was emnating from one of her black painted nails then uttered with distaste in her eyes, "Hoesntly I was getting tired of that same dumb track!"

With this said to her, it was clear that neither Serah or Oralee were impressed at Irma as she had become her arrogant and pompous self again.

Irma herself clearly didn't care about their thoughts either as she waved her hand away and-!

"Hey!"

Annoyed, Irma looked in the direction this voice had sounded from and as she did so. She saw that the one who had called out, it was none other than the leader of the 'ARCS,' Snow. The blonde haired and black capped leader looking to the sorceress then told her mad, "Don't go around setting off firecracker magic like that! We don't need-!"

BLAST!

Spooked, everyone turned as this large blast of laser surged forth! As it did so, quickly the shield they were all within sustained and withstood the attack that rained forth. Feeling this happen, everyone was quiet and full of relief, but in another second-!

"AAAGGGHHH!"

Immediately everyone hear the screams of pain from the female keyblader and others. As they all did so, Riku becoming high alert with concern and worry cried out, "Nozomi!?" With that, he looked through the gap in the brickwork that was nestling them. As he did so, he saw what was happening and was horrified!

Mickey seeing this too by his comrade's side was just as terribly alarmed! However before he could say a word-!

"Hmph! This proves my firecracker of a spell is the least of you losers problems!"

Turning hearing this voice, Mickey saw again that Irma was speaking. As he did so, the female sorceress with her arms now folded then proceeded on to say, "Now, I say it's about time you all pull out the big guns!" Then raising her right hand-!

FLASH!

In seconds Irma's axe fell into her grasp. As it did so, she narrowed her eyes and informed the heroes, "Because my former darling Bebuzzu isn't going to wilt to meagre powers... not now since he's absorbed so much magical and light from that container boy."

Puzzled to hear this, Hana who had been silent all that time cradling and consoling her frightened friend Ruby. Then voiced her curiosity repeating, "Container boy?"

Irma didn't answer this, instead-!

"Though I hate to admit it... the lass is right."

With that walking forwards, the one who had now spoken was revealed to be none other than the now fully human powerful wizard, Merlin. The blue robed and long white bearded wizard then stood beside Irma and as he did so, he added, "We can't afford to wait any longer, if we do so that demon will consume the entire town along with ourselves."

Then seeing his business partner walk over to Irma, Scrooge then decided to add with his his white feathery hands on his cane, "Exactly and me funds as well as all the life of this place will be gone with it... which will really be heartbreaking!"

No one agreed clearly with Scrooge's funds being a tragedy a loss... it was true all the life and the town itself being gone forever would be. So stepping forward Riku said with agitation, "Well let's not wait anymore then!" Saying those words, he quickly also pointed behind himself and as he did so, he added, "Nozomi, all of them need us!"

"Exactly!"

It was then chiming in, it was none other than Zidane who added not wanting to wait anymore either, "We gotta save 'em now! Let's just blast that thing apart and-!"

"You can't do that with just your powers alone!"

Turning as this familiar voice sounded, everyone turned and as they did so. There they saw it was none other than Irma speaking again. Seeing she had all their eyes upon her again, the red haired sorceress proceeded on to say, "Just plain old muscle and these petty magic tricks of yours, they're not gonna cut the deal."

"Oh, really?" Alania was clearly not impressed by those words and so responded not hiding her dislike, "Then how do you propose we do this?"
Smirking as she heard this, Irma smiled and as she did so. She proceeded on to say, "Simple!" With that she swung her axe and in another moment-!

FLASH!

Surprising everyone, they saw something they never expected Irma to hold. As she took the item into her sharpened nails, she moved her other hand and-!

SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!

Three more items appeared in the hands of Volg, Greeble and Peekaboo who became just as surprised! The black coloured chocobo looking at his item, then decided to ask his mistress, "Lady Irma? Are you asking us to-?"

"That I am!" The sorceress replied with a grin, then looking to her temporary allies she informed them all, "I intend to get this show on the road!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Terrified Nozomi, Cait sith, Timbre and Raiyana were being pulled closer and closer towards Bebuzzu's mouth! As he opened his massive jaws he leaned down to devour the group! The female keyblader squeezed and her comrades squeezed their eyes tightly shut, as they did so Nozomi couldn't help but think to herself, 'This is it!' However-!

"Now! Now! Now then!"

"Hmmm...?"

Surprised, at the sound of this voice as well as feeling Bebuzzu stop in his movements. Nozomi opened her eyes as the others did, Timbre who was perplexed couldn't help but ask, "Hey? Was that-?"

"You've been a bad, bad boy... my Bebuzzu!"

The monstrosity, hearing these words looking on then saw who it was that was talking to him. It was his former tool, Irma. Looking on at the red haired and now human looking sorceress, he didn't utter a word as he continued to hold onto his prey within his deadly grasp.

Seeing that her monster wasn't going to respond to her words, Irma then decided to continue to speak on anyway into the device that was now in her hands,

"Using me to only eat me... and these fools, you truly do have bad taste I've learned!"

Nozomi, Cait sith, Timbre along with Raiyana couldn't believe the way that Irma was behaving. For their lives were on the line and hear she was, showing off!?

"You have known nothing... since the beginning, Irma."

The sorceress hearing these monstrous words said nothing herself. However soon, she heard more along with all the others,

"You performed well, gaining and using my own power to gain me the most delicious of all delicacies..."

With those words, he lifted his prey up and reaching his long tongue forwards he licked along the heads of all his prey. The all shivered horribly and Cait sith feeling it, thought to himself madly along with all the others, 'Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross!'

Riku, Mickey along with all the others seeing their friends squirm underneath Bebuzzu's disgusting touch were all mortified and enraged, they wanted to beat him down right there and then! Irma though continued to remain silent and motionless...

"The original radiant essences of the true light..."

Confused to hear this, Nozomi turned and asked, "Original light?" However she didn't get time to say another word for-!

"And now it is time to devour them!"

With that the group of terrified heroes were being lifted up and held aloft over Bebuzzu's opened jaws and as they were, all of them felt the claws holding them begin to loosen as gravity was starting to take it's toll!

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

As this laughter rang forth everyone was on edge and dumbfounded for-!

"Enjoy your meal Bebuzzu!"

SHINE!

Then suddenly out of nowhere, a spotlight shone down upon Irma and as this occurred-!

"Because it's the last you'll ever have!"

SNAP!

With that snapping her fingers, Volg, Peekaboo and Greeble appeared and as they did so-!

"STAGE UP!"

Those words said, all the heroes were lifted up onto a shining lit up red and flashing lit stage platform and in another moment-!

"MUSIC ON!"

Suddenly the sounds of guitars and drums could be heard and as they were-!

"NOW LET'S DANCE!"

Annoyed by all these preposterous announcements and arrangements, Cait sith then couldn't help but cry out, "Just what the heck is that barmy hag think she's-!?"

But it was too late to speak for then Bebuzzu released the paralysed heroes and they all at once began to fall towards the hell of jaws that was beneath them all!

"AAAGGGHHH!"

"Hanahime now!"

With those words cried out, in seconds-!

GLOW!

SWISH!

In seconds, a netting of vines and flowers grew across the entire abyss of darkness. As it did so-!

"Nozomi!"

"Raiyana!"

Timbre!"

"Fella's!"

In seconds the group of heroes were caught and saved from the jaws of Bebuzzu as all of them were caught by strong arms and in another second-!

"BLIZZAGA!"

With that the monster's mouth was frozen by a sheet of ice and as it was, a series of sounds of footsteps could be heard.

Mickey who had fired the spell then declared mad, "That's what you get for tryin' to chow on my pals!" Then quickly knowing he needed to retreat, he followed after the retreating heroes!

Nozomi feeling the warmth of strong hands around her shoulders, looked up and there she saw to her astonishment it was none other than, "Riku?"

The white haired young man, hearing the voice of their female comrade looked down to her. As he did so, he smiled to her showing his relief and as he did so, he then told her, "Looks like it's my turn to get you out of a bind, huh?"

With those words said, Nozomi was quiet. However she smiled herself proving she was just as happy to see him as she replied, "Yeah it is... thanks!"

Cait sith seeing this happen wasn't so pleased to see the usual naïve sweetness occur between the two heroes, but he was glad to be rescued. But before he could comment about anything-!

"Bloom, bloom, bloom, bloom forth!"

Suddenly a singing voice rang out and as it did so, he looked in the direction it was coming from and there he saw in the distance creating this song, it was none other than, Irma!

Then even more surprised he saw that following the singing sorceress in her song, making the music to accompany it. It was none other than Volg, Greeble and Peekaboo who were each playing an instrument, a couple of guitars and a set of drums.

"Sing and dance as petals cross

and the crimson sky

unfolds!"

With that as the words were sung and the music flowed forth-!

SHINE!

Suddenly the heroes all with their own time encapsulated bubbles all shone and began to glow with red light. As they did so, immediately feeling this radiance Juan flexing out his hand couldn't help but say, "Wow! This power's really something! I feel stronger than a toro!"

Feeling this radiance too, Alania couldn't help but say impressed as well, "Yeah! I don't know what you said Juan, but I real pumped too!" Then as she spoke those words-!

"RRROOOAAARRGGHH!"

CRASH!

Immediately all of them saw that Bebuzzu had smashed apart the ice that had fixed his jaws shut and with this done, it was clear the monstrous demon was ready to attack them all!

Hearing this roar herself, Raiyana who was being carried in Noel's arms looked behind him as he continued to run. As she did so, she then decided to say, "He... Bebuzzu he's going to-!"

"Yeah I know, don't worry Raiyana!" For as Noel said those words, he saw that they were close to their destination.

"Darn...it!" Timbre spoke, for he hated this weak state that he was frozen in. For he wanted to do something!

"Don't worry Timbre bro, I know how you feel!" The one who'd spoken those words, was none other than Zidane. The monkey tailed boy, having his pal carried over his shoulders told his paralysed friend, "We're gonna get you fixed up in no time!" For up ahead, he could see along with Noel and Riku, that the healing party was waiting for them.

The group of people that the healing party consisted of, it was none other than Shirma along with Yeul and Aerith. It was clear that the three girls were prepping themselves as they stood amongst each other, the pink haired white mage though decided to voice her thoughts as she said, "Alright, we have to act immediately when they make it over!"

"Yeah," nodding Yeul made her own small reply.

Then Aerith hearing them decided to say, "We just have to do our best as the others will, for we-!"

BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!

Suddenly from beyond, again Bebuzzu began to unleash his barrage of lilac coloured lasers. As he did so, the girls all shivered in fright but-!

"Tonight I'll show you what I'm made of!

Together we'll make you fold!"

SHINE!

Immediately the deadly barrage was stopped by a shining red glowing shield and as it came forth, the shock faded with it and the group of healers looking behind saw that it was none other than Irma who had come to their rescue!

Surprised at this none of the girls said a word, however Irma herself grinning then decided to say, "Oh don't gawk at me for too long ladies, you'll make me blush!"

This sentence didn't impress a single one of the girl's and Aerith herself couldn't help but speak her thoughts, "Talk about a big ego!" But before she could utter more-!

"Guys!"

Turning she saw along with Shirma and Yeul, that Riku Noel and Zidane had made it over with their urgent patients. Seeing them come over, the healers quickly went to attend to their hurt friends.

Riku lowering Nozomi to floor who was aching terribly, then told Shirma who made it over to them, "Please, hurry!"
Nodding, Shirma nodded and replied, "I will!" With that she proceeded with her work to heal Nozomi as the others went to heal Timbre and Raiyana.

"Urgh..." Annoyed as he moaned from his own pain, Cait sith couldn't help but say, "Darn this, me tail feels like it's gonna crack off like a-!"

"Don't worry there Cait sith!" Surprising the crowned cat, he turned over and there he saw coming to his side immediately it was none other than Mickey. As he made his way over to his small pal, he then told him, "I'll have ya fixed up in a jiffy!"

Quiet for a moment hearing this, Cait sith then couldn't help but reveal a smile as he replied, "Glad... to hear it, lad!"

Seeing that the rescue and healing phase of the plan was underway, it was then that Irma decided to announnce, "Okay!" Then-!

SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!

Quickly with her summoning magical click of fingers, Serah and Oralee were placed on a smaller round platform before her. Startled at this sudden movement they turned and as they did so, they heard the red haired witch tell them both, "Now it's time for you both to get going and give me a chorus!"

As this was said, Serah was not impressed by this bossy demeanour and so informed her, "Can't you even ask us nicely to do it?"

To which cocking her head to the side, Irma then replied coyly, "Does it look like we have time for that?"

With that put to her, Serah was about to answer her back when-!

"RRROOOAAARRGGHH!"

Again the terrible roars of Bebuzzu howled into the air again. As it did so, everyone was chilled and knowing that they truly didn't have anytime to spare at all, Oralee then gently and urgently told her friend, "Serah, I know she didn't say that in the most kind way to us... but she's right! There really is no time! We need to act now!"

As this was said to her, the pink haired girl was quiet. However with a sigh, she relinquished her anger and so replied, "Okay since you asked me," then looking to Oralee, she held her hands out to her and said, "Let's do this, together then!"

"Right!" Oralee replied, then as she did so. She clasped onto Serah's hands, entwining their fingers together. They allowed their powers to flow and meld together...

GLOW!

In seconds, the two girls began to shine with pink light together and as they did so. It grew brighter and brighter, becoming a shining star in the darkness, symbolising the hope that all the heroes had and their will, as the girls started to sing gently...

"Feeling, feeling the wind around us all,

We can communicate to the heart as one!"

As these lyrics echoed into the air, immediately the protective bubbles that the heroes were encased within all began to shine, not just with Irma's red energy but with that of the two other songstresses. As they did so, everyone was amazed but quickly Lightning feeling the energy of her younger sister and her friend fuelling her, she realised one thing, "It's time to move!" With that looking behind herself, she called out, "Everyone let's go!" With that the powerful female soldier ran forwards to attack the gigantic enemy that was ahead of them!
Seeing his instructor go, leaving him behind Hope cried out to her, "Light wait!" With that, he raced after her.

As he went, Juan then becoming eager flipped out his pistols and as he did so, he announced, "Finally some action!" Then turning he announced to his fellow 'ARCS,' "Let's go Muchacho's!" With that he took off, using his incredible ostritch like speed!
Smirking as she heard this, Alania then announced, "Oh you're not getting the first hit in before me!" With that she reached into her right pocket and doing so, she brought out one of her summon gems. Throwing it into the air, she then cried out, "Let's light 'em up! Let's do it Bahamut!" With that using her pink wand she struck straight into the stone!

SHINE!

ROARGHHH!

With that in seconds, the familiar and huge shape of the king of dragons emerged! Pleased to see him, Alania jumped on up onto his back and as her shield then surrounded and protected him she added, "C'mon go!" With that the dragon was more than glad to obey as he flew to engage with the monstrous Bebuzzu!

"Hey! Wait for us Alania!" With that carrying his katana and holding his Grand Oar at the ready, Musashi too ran to join his teammates!

Looking on and seeing his gang leave without him again, Snow shook his head with a grin and said, "Those guys are too eager as usual!" However, pulling up his black gloved fist up he then said, "I'll just have to prove my worth as leader again!" With that he took off to fight too!
Seeing them all go, Sazh spoke, "Well looks like this party's getting' started!" Then turning to his son, he told him, "Dad's gotta go Dajh! I'll take care of that chump as fast as I can!"

Hearing his father say these words, Dajh nodded and as he did so he replied, "Okay dad! Come back soon!"

"Will do!" Sazh announced, then looking to Hana who was continuing to maintain the netting floor she had provided for them all, he told her, "Take care of thing's here for me will ya?"

As this was said to her, Hana then nodded and replied with a smile, "Of course! Just please be safe Sazh!"

The green coated gunner nodded to this wish. Then smiling, he took off and went to join the attack with Alania and Juan.

Leon seeing this occur, along with Yuffie and Vincent, he then said, "Looks like we should get going too!"

As this was said, Yuffie then replied with an enthusiastic nod, "Yeah!" Then looking to her right, she asked, "You ready to get running Vince?"

Hearing this question being put to him, the red coated man replied with a cool look in his eyes, "Does that need to be asked?"

Grinning, Yuffie then replied pleased, "Guess not!" Then looking ahead, she cried out, "Now c'mon let's go!" With that she raced on ahead to join the fray too!
Vincent said nothing, however he quickly followed Yuffie in pursuit too focusing a certain spell of his in activation... As he did so, Leon turned and then said, "Merlin, you better be ready soon with your own preparations!"

Turning as he heard his name, the aged wizard working away with Bonkers and Coco lending him a hand, then replied, "Don't worry lad I will be! You just concentrate on what you all need to do!"

"Exactly!" Scrooge added, for then he said some priceless words, "Time is money ya know!"

"Right!" Leon announced and with that he took off to help his committee members and the mysterious Vincent!

Seeing that their comrades had entered the fray of battle, Balthier who had been mainly silent up to that point, then said, "I suppose it's now we make our dramatic entrance isn't it?"

With this question asked, Fran then replied, "It is expected of the leading man, isn't it?"

"And his lady," Balthier said correcting her gently. With that he ran forwards and doing so, he added. "Now come! Let us create a performance worthy of on encore!"

Seeing her leader go, Fran was quiet for a moment. However she revealed a rare small smile and as she did so, she then said, "Indeed!" With that she went to join Balthier!

"Now we come together filling the air!

Can you feel the love?

It's burning, burning up!

As we bloom, bloom, bloom, bloom!"

With that Irma's words rang out and filled the air, as the battle proceeded with all the heroes attacking the malevolent demon book monster!

"Wow! This is intense!" Peekaboo cried out as he continued to bang his drums.

"As it should be!" Greeble added as he continued to string his guitar, then doing this he added, "With us adding beats to the temp it increases by-!"
"Do not speak!" Volg said interrupting the peppermint green chocobo. Then doing so, he said, "We must allow our lady to sing! Do not speak unless it is necessary!" This neither of his fellow feathery musicians could argue with and so they continued to play on quietly to aid the battle.

Hearing these and words while listening on to the song, Gandrake standing back was silent. Inside he found it ironic that the force that was at first aiding them, was now opposing them... but then what could be expected of a demon? With that thought on his mind, he decided to keep to the role that he'd been given. That of a Guardian and looking to the heroes that were being healed and those who were now fighting the monstrous Bebuzzu, he couldn't help but think to himself, "...We better get this over with quickly!" With that the battle proceeded on!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Looking on from the darkness at the unfolding fight with all the heroes, Hari was silent within the confines of her hiding space. It was intense!
The first to land her mark on the enormous demon was Lightning who struck Bebuzzu over in the face with her sword and distracting him from striking her, it was none other than Hope who hit him with his boomerang! Then as this occurred-!

"RRROOOAAARRGGHH!"

Bebuzzu became enraged! As he did so, he moved and opened his mouth to release more lilac coloured lasers! But in another moment-!

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

He was distracted by the strong shots that were fired quickly from Juan and Sazh as they teamed up together! Then as they continued to shoot on together, the Mariachi wearing gunner gained more and more in power before his guns joined together and-!

KABOOM!

With this attack done, Juan then cried out, "Boomya!"

Bebuzzu was left smouldering and angry! Becoming so, he growled in fierce agitation and went to reach for the group of heroes, but before he could touch them all-!

"MEGAFIRE!"

BLAST!

He was struck straight in the face by none other than Alania! Grinning smugly upon her steed Bahamut.

Once again, turning his swivelling eye and concentrating upon this pest. Bebuzzu went to attack her with his claws, but-!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

POW! POW! POW! POW!

Quickly two shapes rushed in and stopped this and in another moment-!

"GRAAAGGGHHH!"

His claws retracted back in pain as Musashi and Snow came straight in! Showing their own strength and power!
Hari was silent witnessing these feats of power, quickly though she then noticed-!

SHINE!

Bebuzzu was building up for his powerful paralysing spell! The heroes then all fought him with everything they had! For they couldn't let that spell wreak more havoc! However it seemed the monster didn't pay any heed to these blows for he was making it towards his peak! He was-!

SLASH!

"GRAAAGGGHHH!"

Suddenly though from out of nowhere rushed in another shape! However this was one shape that none of the heroes recognised at all! A monstrous red bat tattered winged person, who was covered in white bandage rags. His hands and feet were armoured in silver sharp plating, showing he was not a force to be trifled with! Upon his head there was also a jagged pointy like red crown and underneath it was a single glowing yellow eye peaking thrugh his messes of long dark hair. Gazing upon it's enemy, the monstrous being then said, "I will give you chaos!" With that moving back-!

BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!

A powerful barrage of blows was unleashed upon the monster! Making it flinch and flinch more and more against this terrible throws of power!

The heroes all seeing this were amazed! But in another moment-!

"Hey Vince!"

Everyone was distracted as another face came and running forwards with her giant Ninja star at the ready, Yuffie then cried out, "Save some fun for us!" With that she threw her star and-!

FLASH!

SLASH!

It immediately struck straight into Bebuzzu! Then as he fell back-!

GLOW!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Quickly Leon dived straight in and started to attack Bebuzzu with his glowing gunblade! Concentrating on his neck! Feeling this irritating painful sensation, Bebuzzu was angered! Then reaching his dangerous claws he went to again peel away the thing that was causing him horrible pain but-!

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!

Suddenly more shots were fired! These all struck Bebuzzu's claws away and they stung like bee stings! Turning his swivelling eye in the direction these shots were fired in, the enormous monster then saw that it was Balthier and Fran who were attacking! These shots angered the monster and immediately-!

"RRROOOAAARRGGHH!"

He roared loudly again and went to attack all the heroes! Then in turn all of them attacked him! Hari watching this occur, could tell the monstrous demon was at a disadvantage, for all these numbers were too much to handle, he couldn't get them all at once and his time freezing magic wasn't working. This clearly looked like the end for him.

However Hari knew better, for looking to the monster's chest, she could see it was glowing vibrantly green with power again... she knew it was time soon, for the monster's ultimate attack and her opening! Clenching her own keyblade tightly, she prepared herself!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Urgh...!"

Still held within the horrible confines of Bebuzzu's body, Kagi was in agony! Shivering, he felt he was on the brink of death, but he wasn't allowed to die. Instead with the very essence of himself, being pulled and drained he was left only as a powerless and helpless doll.

As he shivered, he couldn't help but utter, "Please... please help me! Please La-!"

"MORE!"

"AGH!"

With that the tendrils that held Kagi dug deeper into him and as they did so, it hurt even more than before! As it did, the tendrils then wrapped around his essence even more tightly and as they did so-!

"AAAGGGHHH!"

"GIVE ME MORE POWER NOW!"

Those words spoken, the space Kagi was soaked in green power as it overflowed from within him and now... as it melded into the darkness he couldn't even call for help anymore!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Oh! Finally!"

Jumping up and flexing his arms up and down, Cait sith then couldn't help but contain his joy! For finally he had his normal senses restored and he could move again, which was the biggest relief of all!

Mickey looking to his pal, decided to say, "I'm glad yer feelin' better there Cait sith! It wouldn't be good to leave ya frozen forecer!"

Nodding, Cait sith then replied brightly, "You got that right lad! It'd be a shame to the whole darn world!"

It was clear the other restored heroes all had the same sentiment for themselves, for looking to the people who'd saved them from Bebuzzu and healed them, they were all finishing giving their own thanks.

"Man we would have been lost without you guys!" Nozomi standing up herself looking to Shirma and Riku along with Mickey, she then decided to add, "Thank you!" To which the white haired keyblader and pink haired white mage and mouse king all simply smiled.

Holding Noel's hand and Yeul's, Raiyana smiled happily in thanks while her cherished friends returned the sentiment.

"Mmmm..." Timbre in the meantime was snuggling into Aerith's middle and as he did so, he couldn't help but echo a purr in his voice as he said, "Being saved by a pretty girl is the best!" To which he wagged his cat like tail quickly in eagerness.

Aerith laughed awkwardly feeling embarrassed by this situation, while Zidane rolling his eyes couldn't help but say, "You're welcome!" Then walking over to his pal, he ruffled his pink hair and added, "Man you never change!"

Timbre grinned poking his tongue out, but before he could say anything-!

"Eureka!"

"We've finally done it!"

"Kweh!"

Spooking everyone, they all turned and as they did so, there they saw that quickly approaching all of them, it was none other than Merlin and Bonkers who was riding the back of his trusty pal, Coco.

Seeing them approach, all the heroes were curious. However quickly there came a brief answer at what they were excited about as Merlin proclaimed, "It's complete!"
Scrooge hearing this who'd been standing to one side and watching them, then said with relief and slight impatience, "Well it's about time!"

Still puzzled, Nozomi then decided to ask, "What is Mr Merlin, sir? What've you-?"

"The seal lass!" Merlin proclaimed waving the item he had in his hand.

Riku curious himself as the wizard said this, then asked, "The seal?"

"Exactly!" Bonkers responded, then quickly he explained holding out two more of the items that Merlin was holding. Looking on, it was shown the items in question were golden tickets that were painted on with various magical symbols which only a wizard could write. Bonkers then continued on and said, "These little babies are gonna shut up that devilish tome once and for all!"

Recognising the potential power of these items, Mickey then asked in amazement, "Really!? You're sure about that?"

With a single nod, Merlin then proclaimed, "Exactly! These seals will drain out all the power Bebuzzu has taken and save the town, that I can absolutely guarantee!"

Nozomi hearing this news, then said happily, "That's fantastic!" Then looking back eagerly as she saw her friends continued to fight on, she added, "I'll be glad to put that book demon out of business permanently!"

"Same here!" Bonkers chimed!
"Kweh!" Coco cried out in eager agreement, but before they could act-!

SHINE!

Suddenly shocking everyone, a sinister green light began to shine everywhere! As it did so, all the heroes turned back and as they did so-!

"RRROOOAAARRGGHH!"

Looking on, Gandrake was on guard and he realised, "It's happening!" With that he quickly he jumped into position and as he did so-!

"Now we've become one!

Let's sing it out louder and let the darkness fade out!"

With that Gandrake's body was soaked in Irma's power! As it became so, he felt himself become full to the brim with strength and in seconds the katana in his hands glowed brighter and brighter with red light! Seeing it light up in his eyes, he realised with proud delight, "Now this is a powerful sword with that he moved and-!

SLASH!

FLASH!

The entire the world was bathed in sea green and as it was-!

"AAAGGGHHH!"

Horrified hearing this scream, Nozomi and the heroes at first blinded by this green light, Their sight returned as the shield they were in made the light fade away. As it did so, they all quickly saw their friends in the distance fighting Bebuzzu were all being drowned in the throws of Bebuzzu's thunderous power! As they were it was terrible to gaze upon and in another moment-!

"NOW YOU'RE ALL MINE!"

With that lifting his terrible jaws forwards and up from within the terrible tome, a bright shining and swarming murky purple, green crystal was revealed and in another moment-!

WHOOSH!

"DADDY!" Dajh cried out worried.

"ALANIA!?" Shirma cried out in just as much distress.

For quickly their loved ones who were amongst the the paralysed heroes were all being pulled into the depths of the terrible tome's crystal! Her eyes wide seeing this, Nozomi ran forwards crying out, "NO! STOP IT!"

"DON'T BE STUPID HERE!"

Suddenly cutting off her terrified cry, Gandrake came running forwards blocking her path and as he did, he told her and the horrified heroes, "You guys race out there, you'll all be monster munch!" With that turning-!

SLASH!

FLASH!

Gandrake slashed away another wave of Bebuzzu's power from with the shield which had been weakened by the previous attack! As he did so, he then told them all, "You'll all be frozen in the traps of time if you head out there now!"

Realising this with helplessness, all that the heroes could do was watch on as their friends were drained away into the abyss that was Bebuzzu's core!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

FLASH!

"AAAGGGHHH!"

Feeling the radiant green light saturate the world around her along with hearing all the screams, Hari remained silent. However, seeing the shining crystal that was now taking in it's helpless victim's she realised one thing, "It is now time!"

WHOOSH!

With that feeling the pull of the wind, the cold green eyed girl opened up her steel wings and flew straight towards her intended target, doing so hearing the cries of Kagi within the depths of her mind. She whispered quietly to herself, "Soon... it will be soon!" With that she charged forwards and in another moment-!

GLOW...

The power died away and as it did so, all the people who were in the close vicinity of Bebuzzu including the steel winged girl herself, disappeared from sight.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

HROWMPH!

Looking on, the ones who had survived this terrible suction attack were all left horrified. Raiyana her hands covering her mouth, couldn't help but echo out, "Oh...no!" As she did this, Yeul hugged onto Noel tightly as he gripped his right fist tightly in anger.

Dajh himself hugged onto Shirma who held the shivering upset boy in her arms and as she did so, Hana beside her had been drawn into the same sorrow and terror they were all in as she gazed on.

"Captain!" Timbre cried out in fright and terror!
"Fran!" Zidane added, this was the worst outcome anyone could ask for!

Nozomi shivering from this attack that had been made, then couldn't help but cry out, "Guys!" Then she tried to step forwards but-!

"Don't!"

GRAB!

Suddenly stopped in her tracks, Nozomi turned and there she saw that it was none other than Riku holding her back. As he did so, he then informed her, "You can't just go out there recklessly!"

Outraged as she heard this, Nozomi then demanded out of him, "What do you mean recklessly!?" With that pointing to the monster who was now licking his sharpened claws clean, she went on to say, "That monster just swallowed up everyone! We gotta do something or-!"

"We will!"

Then interrupted, Nozomi turned and there she saw talking to her now it was none other than Mickey. As he did, he then added with a serious tone in his voice, "We are gonna save them Nozomi don't worry, but to do that we need a plan first!"

Surprised as she heard this, Nozomi repeated puzzled, "A plan?"

"Oh c'mon lass!"

With that suddenly jumping up onto her head, Nozomi felt a familiar warmth of fur and looking up. She saw that it was none other than Cait sith. As he grabbed a couple of tufts of her hair, the crowned cat then went on to say, "We do this in nearly every darn fight we've had! Ya gotta get that fiery side of yaself under control here!"

As this was said to her, Nozomi became quiet... then thinking of the fights they had been before. She realised this was no different. All of them had to work together, to stop Bebuzzu and rescue their friends, otherwise-!

"Well let's hurry up and think of one!'

Turning as her thoughts were interrupted, Nozomi saw that it was Timbre who had spoken up. As he did so, he then added, "We gotta get our crew out of there!"

"Exactly!" Zidane adde fiercely, then as he did so he decided to say, "Balthier and Fran are the only family that we have! We can't leave them to die in that thing!"

Hearing them say this, Hana then spoke herself, "Exactly, you have to save everyone! Because-!" Suddenly seeing her stop, worried Ruby in moments saw her wince and as he did, he asked her, "Hanahime are you-!?"

"I'm fine...don't worry Ruby," then looking at her friend with one closed eye, she had a small smile revealed as she went on to say, "I'm just finding it a little difficult to keep a net up that is this huge."

"Hana..." Ruby uttered worried, to which in turn the blonde haired girl nodded and as she did so, the red robin then told the heroes, "Please you guys hurry!"

With a nod to this, Nozomi was more than now determined. Then as she became so, Noel stepped forwards with Raiyana and Yeul. As he did so, he then said, "We're with you on this too! Let us help!"

"Exactly! We'll give you all the support we can give!" The female Nobody said too, for she wanted to save all the friends she made so far, within the Radiant Gardens.

"Us too!" Shirma said, then stepping forwards with Aerith besides her she then went on to say, "We gotta save everyone! In the committee and the 'ARCS!"

"That's great!" Mickey spoke, then looking at all the allies they had there and then, the mouse King proceeded on to say, "With all you fella's here, there's no way we'll lose, right?"

"Right!"

Everyone said in unison. As they did so, Mickey then turned and asked, "Alright, Merlin tell us how to use the seals to stop Bebuzzu!"

As this was asked of him, the master wizard then replied, "Right of course, your majesty!" With that he proceeded with his explanations.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

FLASH! FLASH1 FLASH!

Hearing this planning happening behind him, as he proceeded to keep the massive spell from affecting them with his sword, Gandrake couldn't help but think grudgingly, "Just hurry up you morons before I run out of energy!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Swimming within the depths of the abyss that was inside Bebuzzu, Hari manoeuvred herself silently and stealthily inside. Using her wings, she was careful to conceal her energy and not allow too much much of her inner radiance to leak forth. For she knew if she did, the monster would sense her in seconds and attempt to devour her!

However, she felt no nervousness, no anxiety... no fear at all! This was something she knew that she could do.

"Urgh..."

Continuing onwards, Hari then saw around her there were the various who'd been taken inside when she dove in. They were all unconscious and clearly still suffering from the effects of the paralysis time spell the monster had cast.

However looking at the faces of anguish and pain that were on the victims as dark tendrils began to wrap around each and every single one, drawing them closer into the darkness that was the monster. She didn't pay any heed to them, for they were of no consequence.

"AAAGGGHHH!"

For on ahead of herself, she saw someone who clearly was of consequence if this pointless battle continued. Swimming on forwards, more and more... finally, she came to her target.

There before her, still held down by countless dark tendrils as he was held in the air. Was Kagi, with the glowing green light still held from the outside of his chest... as it continued to shine on brightly, she could see the pain and agony he was in and as she did so... she tightened her grip upon her keyblade.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"YUM! YUM!"

Licking his claws tasting the wonderful flavours of the mortals he had devoured. It was now time, for another delicacy.

"NOW! FOR THE TASTE OF MY PRECIOUS SWEET LIGHTS!"

With those words, spoken the giant monster then moved himself forwards and went in the direction making thunderous footsteps in his wake, he could sense the lights glowing. As he did, he started to reach his right hand claw and arm forwards. As he did so, he then bellowed out again,

"I WILL FEED ON YOU! THEN I WILL DEVOUR THIS ENTIRE TOWN...THEN ALL THE WORLDS!"

"I WON'T LET YOU DO THAT!"

With this angry cry given, Bebuzzu turned his swivelling eye in the direction the voice had sounded from. There floating up into the air, it was none other than the blue light of the ones who had gathered. It was none other than Nozomi.

The monster looking down at the female keyblader then swivelled it's head to the right in puzzlement. Nozomi though angered, turned her 'Starseeker' keyblade straight up to the big beast, As she did this act she then proceeded on to say, "We're gonna get you Bebuzzu! We'll beat you!" Then becoming even more determined, she added fiercely, "AND WE'LL TAKE BACK ALL THE FRIENDS YOU STOLE FROM US!"

As these words were said so fiercely, it was clear though that Bebuzzu didn't care for them. Instead thrusting his right claws in her direction, he bellowed out loudly and practically madly,

"LIGHT! LIGHT! MY DELICIOUS LIGHT!"

SLASH!

Quickly though, Nozomi slashed straight through Bebuzzu's claw and hand! Using her wings to fly into the air it was clear she was determined. Seeing her evade his grasp, instantly Bebuzzu turned and went to grab her reaching with his sharpened limbs.

However weaving in out quickly, Nozomi was elusive and it was clear the monster wouldn't be able to touch her agile form. This infuriating the enormous demon, Bebuzzu opened his mouth and-!

"MINE! MINE YOU ARE MINE!"

FLASH!

With that, Bebuzzu unleashed a blast of his powerful magic at the winged girl but in another moment-!

"Let our emotions shine!

For we are truly free!

To become what the world needs!"

In seconds, the melody that was being sung by Irma, Oralee and Serah came into effect and barred Bebuzzu's power as a shield! As it did so, feeling it fuel her inside with power too, Nozomi acted and focusing her keyblade upon the monster she cried out her own attack!

"Swift Star Rays!"

With that the comets of the light struck straight into Bebuzzu's eye! Then as this occurred, the monster was partially blinded for a moment! Seeing this, the female keyblader then turned again and cried out her attack spell,

"Thundaga!"

BLAST!

"GRAAAGGGHHH!"

Instantly the attack hit it's target and Bebuzzu had to grasp his eye with both his claws at this flush of power! Seeing she'd got him where she wanted him, Nozomi then looked back and cried out loudly, "Now guys! C'mon!"

Instantly hearing her, it was then her fellow keybladers, Noel, Raiyana, Timbre and Zidane acted! Riding Riku's shoulder as he flew with them all, Cait sith then cried out, "Now let's charge at 'em lads let's go!"

"Right!"

As the white haired keyblader and the mouse king cried this out in unison, they both led the attack! Pulling 'The Way To Dawn,' back Riku aiming then cried out, "Dark Break!" With that his power of darkness brimmed all over his body! As it did so, he then rushed forwards and stabbed into Bebuzzu's claws over and over again!

Instantly feeling this sting of power, Bebuzzu flinched and pulled his limbs back and away from his gigantic eye! Seeing this, Mickey then saw it was his chance to attack! Aiming quickly, he focused all his power and cried out his one powerful attack!

"Holy!"

SHINE!

This attack then struck Bebuzzu in the eye too! As it did so, it then blinded the creature tremendously and wounded him as he cried out loudly,

"GRAAAGGGHHH!"

Nozomi seeing this smiled, the plan was working! But then she heard, "Lass get to work!"

Turning as she heard this voice calling, Nozomi saw it was Cait sith. Then quickly she replied immediately with a nod, "Okay!" With that she took off to start the next stage of the plan!

Seeing her fly away, Riku then couldn't help but echo his thoughts, "I hope she can get it done fast!"

Hearing him, Mickey then responded, "Don't worry I'm sure Nozomi will! Cause out of our gang she's definitley the quickest!"
"You got that right Mickey mate!" Cait sith replied. Hearing him, Riku smiled but then-!

"RRROOOAAARRGGHH!"

Again they all saw that Bebuzzu was on the offensive again! Though blinded, it was clear the monstrous book wasn't ready to give up as-!

BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!

He unleashed a whole barrage of lilac lasers at everyone and everything that was in his path! Riku and Mickey quickly evaded! Though angered Cait sith cried out mad shaking his fist up and down, "Oi! Quit that!"

But Bebuzzu wouldn't! Instead he unleashed more-!

BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!

FLASH!

Though quickly stepping up into the path of the deadly barrage, Raiyana transforming again turned into her midnight persona! Doing this, she then informed the monstrous Bebuzzu, "That's enough of your light show!" Then aiming with her double sided scythe, she spun it and spun it and as she did so, she made the rains of lasers dart here and there making them harmless!

Then seeing her do this act, Noel quickly stepped in himself and prepping himself with his double swords, he reached his hand into his pocket and quickly drew out a series of his monster summon diamonds. Doing this act, in moments he called forth a battalion of Ahriman, Bombs and Bite Bugs. With this done, he then aimed his crystal forwards and instantly all the monsters and insects all headed straight towards Bebuzzu! The Ahriman's fired their own lasers upon it with their own eyes, the Bombs all exploded on impact and the Bit Bugs all bit into the surface of the demon's skin!

Seeing this attack done, Timbre grinned as the monstrous demon tried to throw off the pests and bat them away. So pleased, he couldn't help but say, "Nice!" Then looking to his pal, he decided to ask, "You ready, Zidane?"

With this asked, the blonde haired monkey boy replied, "Ready!" With that both the Sphynx and Monkey boy ran straight up and quickly using his powers of levitation, Timbre moved himself and his pal to the top of Bebuzzu's head. Doing this, they then began to stab into him with their weapons creating more and more damage upon the monster!

"The hope of life!

The dream of the future!"

Amazed by the sight and song that filled the air, Aerith Shirma and Yeul watching with Dajh hand couldn't believe it! Everyone was going on at full force against the monster, it looked for certain they were going to win!

However worried for them still remembering what had happened before to their other friends, Shirma couldn't help but hold her hands together and whisper, "Please, please be safe everyone!"

Merlin in the meantime standing with Bonkers could feel him shake with anticipation and as he did so, he then heard the small bobcat say, "Oh...I'm getting' tense here!" Then saying that, the small cop turned to his boss and asked him, "Merlin can we get out there now? We could at least-?"

Shaking his head, Merlin then told him, "No, not yet Bonkers." Then looking at the battle again, he then added, "Not just yet!"

Scrooge hearing this then decided to say, "Well ya better not way too long here, otherwise we'll be in more trouble! Which none of us will be able to handle anymore!"

Volg hearing this himself knew this to be true, for he could feel his mistress and his cohorts had nearly come to the end of their musical performance and their powers were draining... they wouldn't be able to keep going for much longer!

Nozomi in the meantime feeling the pressure was finishing her side of the plan, feeling the buzz of one of Noel's monster pass over her, she looked down and there saw that everyone was doing fantastically, Bebuzzu was completely distracted. She knew this could work! So running fast, she went to finish the last of her preparations!

CRASH!

SLASH!

Dodging another attack, Riku moved and slicing into the monster Bebuzzu, he then told him, "Close but you're still no good!" For looking at everyone as they all proceeded onto attack, making their damage upon Bebuzzu he couldn't help but ask, "Surely? It must be time now to-!"

"RRROOOAAARRGGHH!"

Bebuzzu was enraged! Swinging his arms out, he bent his head backwards and as he did so. It was clear that he was building up his monstrous power and as he did so, in moments everyone knew he would unleash his horrible power again! They didn't have any time!

"Guys! Get away from him!"

Distracted Riku turned to look up and as he did so, he saw that Nozomi was flying on high above. As she did so, she then cried out further, "I'm ready now! You've all gotta move!"

To which, all the attacking heroes hearing this command went to obey her. As they all retreated, even Noel's monsters backed up to a certain distance!

Bebuzzu feeling and seeing the heroes do this whilst building up his power was confused. For why would they-!

"Shimmering Sewing!"

With that call suddenly all over the massive monster countless, countless numbers of shimmering spiderlike lines of thread covered his body! As they did so, immediately they all bound his arms together and held him in tightly in place, preventing him from moving!
Seeing that she had succeeded, Nozomi holding Bebuzzu in place with the threads reaching out from her fingers like a puppet master, then called out, "Gandrake! Merlin! Go now!"

"MER...LIN?"

Uttering this name, the stilled monstrous tome looked in the direction where Nozomi had called. There it saw the blue robed wizard. As he did so, he then saw something that glowed golden in the eerie green darkness, seeing it... the monster became outraged!

"NO...NO!"

Seeing him become unsettled by the sight of the golden seals, Gandrake could tell with one of the precious objects in his hands that there were the real deal! As he saw this, he then heard the monstrous book go on to say,

"I! I WILL NOT BE SEALED AWAY AGAIN!"

"But you will!" Merlin informed the monster and with that, he charged forwards with Gandrake beside him and Bonkers along with Coco following. As he did so, he brought out one of the golden seals and cried out, "UNUS!" With that-!

FLASH!

The seal flew straight to Bebuzzu's stomach and in another second-!

"GRAAAGGGHHH!"

GLOW!

Everyone was amazed as they saw the lower middle of Bebuzzu glow with golden light and as he did so, he seemed to have become frozen in place! He couldn't move! The seal was working!
Impressed, Timbre then cried out, "Nice we're gonna do it!"
"Yeah!" Zidane replied excitedly.

"NO!"

Bebuzzu feeling the horrible effects of the spell, looked down and seeing Merlin with the remaining seals, he cried out,

"I WIIL NOT BE LOCKED AWAY AGAIN!"

With those words, he charged his clenched claws forwards and went to attack the aged wizard!

Seeing this attack coming, immediately Gandrake then said, "Okay my turn!" With that he took one of the seals from Merlin's hand and in another second-!

"RRROOOAAARRGGHH!"

Quickly Bebuzzu ripped his arms free of the threads! Then moving his clenched claws he went to strike down the threats!

CRASH!

Everyone was shocked, but quickly-!

GLOW!

Merlin had come out unscratched from the attack! As he did so, Bonkers who was behind him cried out, "Go get 'em Gandrake! Nail that crook!"

"Kweh!" Came Coco's excited add on!

Hearing these words, Bebuzzu turned in the direction where he could hear footsteps. There he could see fast approaching upon the planted netting was the samurai he had once controlled with his powers! Seeing this he became outraged and-!

"RRROOOAAARRGGHH!"

BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!

He unleashed more of his lilac lasers against the assailant! But Gandrake proved to be too fast for his attacks for each one missed and in another moment-!

"DUO!"

GLOW!

Another of the seals was placed firmly upon Bebuzzu's body! As it was-!

"RRROOOAAARRGGHH!"

Quickly the middle of him turned golden as well! This extended to his arms and claws! Which left him with nothing to attack with! He was on his last legs!

Becoming excited, Dajh watching on with the healing girls and the singers couldn't help but cry out, "We did it! We're gonna win! We're gonna get dad and the others back!" No-one could disagree with this, they really were going to win!
However the monster wasn't going to allow this! Clenching his teeth, he reached into the deepest part of himself and-!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"AAAGGGHHH!"

He was still continuing to drain Kagi's power! He had to every last drop he could! He had to-!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Suddenly cutting away all the bindings that held Kagi imprisoned and in agony, Hari moved and in seconds the mysterious green essence that had been inside of Kagi's heart, began to descend back into his chest and as it did so, his breathing became more regular. Showing that the pain was slowly receding away.

Holding the weakened boy in her arms, Hari then looking into the darkness above said, "You will no longer feed upon this vessel," for then holding him a little closer to herself she added narrowing her eyes, "For he belongs to me!"

"NO! NO!"

Feeling his power source being taken from him, Bebuzzu immediately acted and whole sea of tendrils went to grab back what was supposed to be his, But-!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Hari destroyed each and every single one! Then swinging her blade, she unleashed her own red crimson power and cried out, "Diabolos's Guillotine!"

FLASH!

With that his innner gore glowed brightlt red drowing out his own dark power and the green that had been there! This attack desroyed every last ounce of power he had drained as it was all cut away...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"AAARRGGHH!"

This bellow of pain reaching all their ears, no-one could believe it!? What was going on!? But it was too late to ask anymore for-!

"Bebuzzu! Criminal demon of all demons!"

It was then everyone saw charging forwards with the final seal in his hands, upon his noble small steed. There coming running forwards across the vines, it was none other than Bonkers and Coco!

Revealing the seal he had in his hand, Bonkers then declared, ""YOU ARE BOOKED!"

Hearing and seeing this though, Bebuzzu didn't want to give in! Not even at the end and so cried out,

"NEVER!"

With that he went to strike Bonkers!

"Kweh!"

CRASH!

Quickly missing them though, Coco who was running forwards had dodged this monstrous blow! Then the small yellow bird launched itself up into the air flapping it's wings madly and as he did so-!

"TRES!"

GLOW!

Bonkers placed the final seal on Bebuzzu's head and with this act done... the body of the monster was turned completely golden and in turn the entire eerie space was flooded with golden light!

The final battle had come to an end...
