The 12th Battle
Unknown Partners
*Lightning's narration*
A world where the battle of gods unfolds.
Two deities ruling the balance and discord summoned those who lived in other worlds to fight for them. Those summoned, having lost their memories and ways to go back, had no other choice but to serve the god that summoned them. So did I, when I awoke beside the Goddess of Harmony. It was a world where we could only fight. If so, then the remaining possibilities are achieved by victory. Believing so, I decided to join the battle of gods.
Jecht: Hey, uh... Lightning, was it?
Light: What is it?
Jecht: Don't be so unfriendly. We're here not because we wanted to.
Light: So people should annoy strangers just because they're here not of their free will?
Jecht: Well, he may be not all that wrong.
Light: You're Jecht, right? So you're saying, that I am wrong?
Jecht: Hey, don't get angry. Right? Uh...
Kain: I'm Kain.
Jecht: Yeah. Say something. This kind of a start isn't good at all, right?
Kain: Lightning, in a way you're right. We still don't know each other's powers. No cooperation or trust will be born here this way. Then how about you act together with him and see his skills for yourself.
Light: Huh?
Jecht: Hey, that sure sounds fun and everything, but...
Kain: If something happens, we'll cut in. And this will create a chance to see who is superior in battle.
Jecht: "We"? You're counting me in too?
Light: Don't decide for others. I don't remember teaming up with you.
Kain: Does that mean you don't have confidence to be tested? Well, I just don't know whether you're strong enough to oppose. I want to see your strength.
WoL: Be on guard! The enemy is coming!
Garland: You're quite carefree, warriors of Cosmos. Forgot your missions right after awakening.
Light: So you're the warriors of Chaos?
Garland: Waiting until we make the first move... It seems there is a bunch of cowards on the Harmony side.
Emperor: That's the "chosen warriors" for you... Garland, you take care of these vermins. Feel free to summon me if you need help. I, the Emperor, will lend you a hand.
WoL: Lightning, the enemy is not alone. I'll take care of them, and you stay back...
Light: Sorry, but i'm not going to obey. You stay back, and I'll take care of this.
WoL: What...
Garland: Pitiful Cosmos warriors, can't even fight together... Whichever of you is ready, fight me!
*Battle ensues*
Garland: Ha! Was that all you've got? I wanted to enjoy the fight some more. But we will surely meet again, because the battle has just begun.
WoL: Disappeared... But there are still other enemies ahead. Let's go, Lightning.
Kefka: Hwa-ha-ha-ha! Found ya! My lovely newly-awakened warriors!
Light: Wha... Who is this guy!?
Kefka: Oh, lady Ultimecia, you don't have to get your hands dirty. I'll take care of them all by myself.
Ultimecia: You can do as you please, Kefka. It's a nice chance for me to get some rest. But do call me when you get to the pain-inflicting part. I'll gladly join in.
*Another battle*
Kefka: That huuuurt!
WoL: Lightning, are you alright?
Light: You'd better worry about yourself. The enemies still seem to be around.
WoL: This feeling...
Light: Another one is here, it seems.
Sephiroth: Oh, you've noticed me... Not bad at all.
Light: Who're you... looks like a stupid thing to ask. If you want to fight, I'll be your opponent.
CoD: You seem to be enjoying this, Sephiroth. Did you get ahold of some nice prey?
Sephiroth: You're Cloud of Darkness, right? Don't interfere. It was me who found them. But I have some interest in your power, so lend it to me for a bit.
*Battle yet again*
Sephiroth: That couldn't possibly be your best, right? Try to aim for my life seriously next time. Because otherwise there is no meaning for us to exist in this world.
WoL: I can still feel the enemy presence. Don't let your guard down, Lightning.
Light: You don't need to remind me.
Light: The enemy is near... Be careful. Hey, show yourself!
Cloud: You're being attacked, shouldn't you stay closer to the Sanctuary? If the Goddess of Harmony is defeated, your existence will be erased.
Light: I don't need concern from the enemy. Mind your own business.
Golbez: It's quite unusual to see you concerned, Cloud. Did some enemy pique your interest?
Cloud: It's none of your business. If you came to help, then shut up and fight, Golbez.
*Insert battle here*
Golbez: They've just awakened, no wonder they're like that. It was a nice warm-up. I'll take my leave now.
Cloud: You've fought other guys, haven't you? They haven't shown their true power yet as well. You'll get in trouble, if you underestimate them. And... your comrades...
Light: What's with our comrades?
Cloud: No, it's nothing. The real battle is still ahead. You better be ready.
WoL: Finally the Chaos presence disappeared. It seems we managed to drive them away.
WoL: You really helped me a lot. I'm grateful.
Light: No need. You would have defeated them even without my help.
WoL: I could fight so well because you were covering my back. But we can't always depend on each other. I want you to fight without letting your guard down. All of us have strong will. Battles will lead us to victory. Don't forget that. It seems enemies are still somewhere around. I will go check the surroundings. You wait for Kain and Jecht here.
Light: Don't just go deciding...
WoL: We may have to fight again soon, so you'd better to get some rest.
Jecht: Dunno if he's concerned or just fencing off. Guess, it's just the way he is.
Light: Jecht, Kain, are you alright?
Kain: Have you grasped anything?
Light: He's acting all heroic as always, but... His power is not all words.
Kain: So that means you've acknowledged him more or less.
Light: Heh, we'll see about that. I don't think we can get along well. But I got to see your strength. So for once you have my thanks for that suggestion.
Kain: I just wanted to know, how strong and skilled you guys are.
Jecht: I hope you're not disappointed?
Kain: If I was, I wouldn't be standing here.
*Cid's narration*
The endless cycle binding this world has slowly begun to come apart. The story, heading to demise, is faintly changing its form. Overcoming the will of those who control gods, the new opinion begins to weave itself into the world.
