Desperado

Vincent's body had reverted to its human form after Lavos's powerful counterattack. Judging by the blood covering the ground, he had barely survived. It seemed he had managed to drastically weaken the dark god, but now Zophar had eaten Lavos, and had become even stronger.

It's all over. We won't be able to beat them...

Suddenly, Vincent felt a very peculiar feeling, but it was somehow very familiar, as well. He slowly lost conciousness...

----

VINCENT!

Impossible...Chaos?

THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE WITH ME, LITTLE MAN? HARDLY...

No...you're gone...you...

DON'T BE AFRAID OF ME, VINCENT. I'VE NO WISH TO DO ANY HARM. I AM STILL VERY MUCH A PART OF YOU, BUT NOT IN THE WAY I ONCE WAS. THE SPIRIT WOLF IS A PART, TOO, AS ARE YOUR OTHER ALTER-EGOS...

I...I don't understand...

THINK, VINCENT! YOU WERE SO SURE, DURING THE LAST TOURNAMENT, THAT I WAS YOUR ENEMY. YOU ALLOWED YOUR EMOTIONS TO BLIND YOU FROM THE TRUTH.

What...what truth?

I BECAME A PART OF YOU BECAUSE YOU NEEDED ME. YOU NEEDED THE POWER TO FIGHT SEPHIROTH AND JENOVA. YOUR PREVIOUS TRANSFORMATIONS WEREN'T STRONG ENOUGH.

But...no. I thought....you said before...my emotions...

YOU DON'T THINK VERY HIGHLY OF YOURSELF, DO YOU, VINCENT? COME NOW, DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE ALL OF THE ANGER AND HATRED IN YOU WAS EVIL? YOU WERE CERTAINLY LED TO BELIEVE THAT DURING THE LAST TOURNAMENT, WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE, CONSIDERING HOW SUCH EMOTIONS SEEMED TO CONTROL INDIVIDUALS LIKE KARSH, BUT YOU COULDN'T HAVE BEEN FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.

YES, THERE WERE TIMES WHEN YOU LOST CONTROL. TIMES WHEN YOUR MOST HATED ENEMY, CHAOS, SEEMED TO TAKE OVER. YOU WERE RULED BY YOUR EMOTIONS, BUT YOU'VE LEARNED TO SUPPRESS THEM, WHICH HASN'T REALLY HELPED YOU. YOU'VE NOT LOST CONTROL, BUT YOUR POWER IS NOT AS IT ONCE WAS. NOW, THOUGH, YOUR NEGATIVE EMOTIONS ARE BEGINNING TO RETURN TO YOU, BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE FAILED.

JUST AS BEFORE, VINCENT, YOUR HATRED, YOUR FEAR, YOUR PAIN, THEY ARE NOT EVIL. IT TAKES A PERSON TO CHOOSE TO USE THEIR EMOTIONS FOR EVIL DEEDS, WHICH WAS SOMETHING YOU NEVER DID. YOU MUST LEARN NOT TO FIGHT YOUR NEGATIVE EMOTIONS, BUT TO CONTROL THEM. YOU SEEM TO HAVE DONE FAIRLY WELL WITH THE WOLF, BUT IT'S NOT YET POWERFUL ENOUGH...


Then...there's still hope?

WHY ELSE WOULD I BE HERE? LET ME PUT IT TO YOU THIS WAY, VINCENT. YOUR FRIENDS ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES AGAINST HORRIBLE DEMONS. YOU'RE LYING HERE, DOING NOTHING TO HELP THEM.

What...how can I...?

YOU'RE PISSED. YOU CAN USE THAT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. NOW GET UP AND KICK SOME ASS.

----

Vincent stood up and smiled. Suddenly, the dark gunslinger was gone, and in his place was the combination of his other transformations. The Galian Beast, Death Gigas, Hellmasker, and the Spirit Wolf, as well as the dark Chaos, all were a part of him now, and he finally accepted it. And he was neither creature, nor demon, this time. He was Vincent Valentine.

Vincent studied his new form briefly, then grinned. He was furious, and he knew it wouldn't hurt anyone but the dark god he had set his sights on.

Vincent flew toward the mighty demon Zophar and unleashed a devastating attack of his own.

*****

Okay, everyone, give me a 'Hell yeah!'

I figured now would be a good time for character development.

Edit: Couple typos. Hard to see in the dark...

Keeper of Clive's pants

Clive shivered in the cold and pulled his cloak closer to him. Granted, he had shot at Zophar a couple of times, but it seemed to have no effect; reluctantly, he stopped after a while and watched as the others continued the large scale battle.

He blinked as he spotted some familar faces. Sydney? But where were his teammates? Shrugging, he dashed over to them. "Sydney!" he called out, and halted in front on him. He frowned when the saw Tatsuya with him; he merely gave him a chilly look of a greeting. There was another person with them, including what seemed to be a... ball of fluff? Perhaps the chill was getting to him.

"Sydney... good to see you again."

Professional Goober

Okay, I just want to end this portion of the story, even thought this is going to be horribly out of sync with the current plot line. Let's just assume Zophar is toast, and Zeal is in ruin...
---------------------------------

It was over, and Zeal lay in ruin. The towers crushed, and city charred and black.

"My home...destroyed again."

"So this is what you feel inside. This is the feeling of seeing your home disappear before your eyes. I'm sorry Magus, I didn't realize this was the burden you've carried all these years..."

"I've lost it again, and I couldn't save it." The words of Vante rang out through his head.

"Pure Evil, Pure Good. You cannot simply attack, you must be complete."

"I might have an answer Alfador."

"You'll know when the time is right. You'll know, and then you'll be complete."

A shiver went up his spine when he looked at the fallen land of Zeal. He looked to Alfador and understood.

"Alfador, it's time I left the past behind me. I've only ever known the evil in life, the good I've always shut out. Today I saw more of the good in my life than I have ever seen before. I know my past, and I've come to terms with it. Schala is gone, I can't help that. My people are gone, I can't help that. My home is gone, I can't help that. But, the memories of all these things. These memories still exist...in you."

"Magus, for most of your life, you've shut me out. You couldn't bear to think of the good things in the world when there was so much evil and darkness around you. You felt guilty about this place, and so you vilified it. You called mother a weakling, the people fools for believing in her. All along, you believed in her too. I see why you shut me out, and I see what it is that corrupted you. Maybe now we can understand each other."

Magus embraced Alfador, his soul, the "good" in him. "You know, I loved this place. Now it shall remain with me no matter where I go..."

The two parts of a whole began to glow, each in their own elements. Alfadors white light was slightly tarnished by the blackness of Magus. His own light was cut at by the purity in the air. Together they had grown, and together they would stay. Alfador ceased to be in physical form, just as Magus ceased to be in a spiritual form.

Together they were one.

Magus floated high above Zeal, and looked down at the world he called home. He shed a tear, but forced it back as he shut his eyes, and reached deep inside to find the source of his memories. He saw the tower and waterfalls in his mind. He heard the birds singing and the bells ringing. He felt the soft breeze flowing over the hills. He saw it in his mind, and focused it into his power. He reached back, and shot out a beam of glorious gold over the land.

When Magus opened his eyes, the Magical Kingdom of Zeal stood tall in all its glory once more.

It was just how he remembered it.
-----------------

Well, that's it for me for tonight. Hope that didn't mess with anyone too much, just remember that should go after Zophar is taked out.

Cloud ran at the giant creature that Lucia had referred to as Zophar. "I shall not let you destroy any more worlds!!! I, The Weilder of the Legendary Mastermune...SHALL STOP YOU!!! Cloud yelled, as he ran at the evil monstrosoty (yea, I can't spell..so sue me) at full force, casting the most powerful spells he knew. "ULTIMA!!!" he screamed as he ran. "FLARE!!"

None of these spells seemed to affect the evil god. "Fine....EAT THIS!!! KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND!!!"

As Cloud said this, the sky darkened, and twelve shining knights decended from the sky........

Death of the Dark God

OOC:Good grief. You people have no respect for my writing. Anyways, as always, I'm keeping track of the votes, and I'm definitely a goner Oh well. I'm not going to spite everyone with a tragic end. It's not your fault, it's mine. Though I can't fathom why.

Lucia noticed some people still trying to attack the Dark God, and she let them beat on him for a while. Unfortunately for Lucia, she got a bit careless, and Zophar got a blast off, and hit a group of contestants. But then, Cloud's KoTR hit. Horrible wounds opened in Zophar's flesh. The Knights were formiddable indeed, but Zophar was far from dead.

Lucia, now not smiling anymore, proceeded to throw energy balls around those still hacking at Zophar, and push them to safety. The battlefield was clear now, for what Lucia was going to do to Zophar.

"Althena's Light, shine forth!"

Lucia didn't seem to have any trouble remaining focused this time. In fact, she seemed perfectly in control. Behind her, up in the sky, a shadow appeared of a young man with brown hair, a yellow cape, and a green tattoo under one eyes. He put his arms around her from behind, and Lucia smiled, as her love transcended the dimensions to help her control creation.

Zophar saw all of this.

"No! You can't do this! You'll destroy everyone! You'll be responsible for the death of innocents! You can't do this!"

The dragons were a bit worried too, until they saw the shadow behind Lucia. Then, they started to understand. But they still flew down to the contestants for damage control, just in case. But as it turned out, there was no need.

"Zophar, your time has come. There is no place for your evil in this dimension any longer.

And Althena's light compressed Zophar's massive form down to nothing more than a dot, which winked out of existence. The contestants all flinched, given what they'd heard about Lucia's power, and the Dragons looked downright petrified, and readied a shield for the blast they were sure would come.

But no blast came.

Zophar was simply gone, and the accompanying devastation that should have gone with it was nowhere to be found.

A great cheer went up, as the last of the Dark Gods was defeated. It was time to party. Ronfar mentioned what a pity it was that Zeal had been munched, as now there wasn't a bar anymore. So there was no place to party. But the sheer warmth flowing around from the holy light of Althena was enough to turn the blizzard off, and the sun shone once more. So people relaxed, and waited for the next teleport.

OOC: Voting time. Those caught in Zophar's final attack were:
Note:I have kept my word. Those I have made agreements with shall not be harmed.
Lenneth
Sydney
Jun
Leon
Randi
Laguna
Tatsuya

And, Rvote to Marle.

"Sydney......good to see you again......"

"Clive?" Sydney thought to himself again, "why would Clive be here anyways?" Sydney stand there for awhile looking kinda shock at the aquaintance. Then he saw Clive noticed Tatsuya and Clive gave Tatsuya a cold glare. To break the silent, he greeted Clive.

"Clive! Good to see you. What business do you have here?"

"I am here to help....eh...I mean, nothing." Clive wants to show the reason of him being there, but after he notice the existance of Tatsuya, he changed his mind.

"Do you want to fight with us?" Sydney ask with sincere as Tatsuya remained quiet.

"Yes..I mean..no."Clive changed his mind again.

"If you have nothing to do here. Then why bother! You are either here to help or to be killed. Which one do you want?" Sydney is angry at Clive.

"Well....I....."said Clive.

"Make up your mind." Tatsuya finally spoke up.

"I..." Clive paused, "I will help! I don't want to be killed by this..ugly freaky huge unknown monster!"

"Thank you," Sydney said thankfully.

And the three charge towards the enemy where Randi is currently fighting. With their prejudice aside, what will become of them?

OOC: this is a little bit late...oh well>_<

Whoohoo!

*****

Vincent landed next to Lucia and Cloud, both of whom were breathing heavily, and changed back to his human form. Tifa ran up and hugged Cloud from behind, and Vincent could see all of the others smiling.

"You did it," Vincent said softly to Lucia.

The girl shook her head and smiled. "We did it."

Vincent looked up at the ruins of Zeal just in time to see Magus floating above them. Vincent blinked, and suddenly, the entire Kingdom of Zeal had been restored.

"Incredible..." Vincent whispered.

"Hey, guys! Let's PARTY!"

*****

Nice ending for the round, Angel, Magus! That was a blast.

Cloud spun around and hugged Tifa. "TIF!!! You're alright!!!" he yelled. "I was so worried about you...or what I may do to you...." he told her, while holding her close to him.

"Cloud..." she said, crying. "Never worry me like that again Cloud...I...I love you....and I couldn't go on if something happened to you."

"Tif....I...I've still got some things to sort out...I...I still let Jenova hurt you...I...I've gotta sort it out....I'm sorry Tif...I can't be with you yet....and Vincent?" he asked, turning to his other friend

"Yes Cloud?" asked the blue eyed man

"Keep her safe...I will meet you all again.." Cloud said, walking into the wasteland, with his Mastermune Clanking against his back..
