Kail walks over to Squall "hhhhmmm he been shot several times and it looks bad real bad he might die here" then turns to everyone "buy me some time here" he said then activeates his Moon rune and starts chaneling energy as his hands glow with a white light and slowly takes out each bullet after he does that he starts healing and closeing some of Squall wounds.

All this time, Balthier had been charging something...something that he had not known to rely on in a very long time. This he knew would cause something severe to happen to him as a black ring of magic appears underneath him.
"You bloody bastard, you can't get away with this" Balthier says as he continues to charge.

Zack put a force field around himself. Thus deflecting every attack these people were throwing at him. However, at the sound of Areith's name, something happened.
 : Arieth....Argh.....ARHH!!!Zack grabbed his head as he began dissapearing. For some reason, Arieth's name had triggered some kind of reaction. Maybe Zack hadnt lost his former self just yet. He was gone now, leaving most of them;especially Squall, wounded.

Reno gritted his teeth as he saw his attempts to hurt that guy claiming he was Zack get easily deflected. 'We'll get back at you!' he thought bitterly. How much damage he sustained! Not as much as some here though. Others actually had their blood drawn from injuries such as bullet wounds.
Speaking of bullet wounds, Squall got quite a bit of them there. Reno then waited for a second as he braced himself to move again. Sitting up, he pushed himself off the ground. His teeth gritted as sharp inches of pain surged through him. Not relenting as he used a good amount of energy to get up. He refused to let it tire him out as he went over to where the others were.
Hoping that the others were alright. God, he hoped Squall was alright. The guy was only sixteen years old and had received grave looking injuries. He finally reached the others before dropping to his knees and grimacing more from the pain that was caused by that beating he received.
"You...You guys...al-alright?" he managed to say through wincing.

As soon as his commander disappeared, Kyon slowly levitated all the way down until he was on the floor. His arms were crossed and his eyes were observant and sharp. The second-in-command grinned smugly at the party. "Okay. Those two guys..." Pointing at Balthier and Kail, "Are the least weakened. I guess I have to finish the job." Suddenly a whole bunch of cards swirled around Kyon as it came out of his sleeves. Then a blade pierced through the sleeves as soon as the cards were all out, it appears he had two katars were strapped to his wrist.
"Heh..think you could beat me." With that said, Kyon dashes towards Balthier first. Cards were then spread apart throughout the area to lower the vision of everybody. As Kyon was merely inches away from Balthier, his right arm raised to pierce the mage with the katar, a swirl of cards blocked Balthier's view of him. When the cards dispersed, the card master was gone. He appeared again behind Balthier and then thrust his katar into the opponent's back.

An incredible force however erupts around Balthier as the spell finishes charging. A black shockwave sends Kyon flying back as the seal around him glows and expands. A massive energy can be sensed as a portal is opened. A being begins to manifest...it appeared to be a dragon's head attached to many magic seals and machinery. The dragon released a mighty roar as it blasted Kyon with a heavy blast of dark energy from it's mouth like fire. Balthier was visibly drained from the spell.
"Zodiark...the God of Oblivion...thank you for coming." Balthier says paying respect to the creature. The creature moves slightly in response as it charges for Kyon

Squall slowly gained consciousness. This was his fine hour. He didnt know he was going to survive. Kyon seemed to have a different agenda than Releguel, and he wanted to kill them all. Squall slowly got up and drew his gunblade. His eyes full of resolve, he joined Balthier into making his attack.
Squall ran up to Kyon and slashed him with his gunblade. However, his attack was easily deflected. He knew how this was going to end.
"...I'm..not going to sit around and die. I'm going to die fighting you!" Squall said as he dropped his gunblade due to the pain of his wounds.

Kyon easily blocked the energy with his cards, "It appears you're strength was not enough to make Zodiark his most powerful." He mused, but he knew that he was unable to block another attack like that. The card master needed to find an answer to defeat the powerful foe. And his answer came with Squall. With relative ease, he blocked the gunblade with both his katars. However, Kyon failed to properly fixed the weapon so Squall's strength broked the two blades.
"Meet your end Squall...as well as you Zodiark." Kyon jumped back and waved his arm. Then all the cards suddenly swarmed all over Squall as it pushed him towards the dragon. Then Kyon covered the dragon's eyes with the card-covered Squall. Kyon's face remained apathetic as he raised his right hand, then a click was heard. Kyon had snapped at his fingers. A split-second later....all the cards exploded. It was an incredible explosion as everyone was nearly was blown away by it. Kyon however remained standing where he was with his arms crossed. Zodiark roared an anguish of pain, deeply wounded by the attack and quickly drew away back to it's plain of existence.
Squall's charred body then dropped to the floor, smoke rising from him his burned features. He wasn't breathing, he wasn't moving. He was dead. Kyon panted for breath but quickly caught his breath. He started walking away from the group but turned his head to say something, "I finished what I needed to do..." The second-in-command's voice was cold and emotionless. He then made a dark portal and started to leave through it when he stopped. Kyon created another portal behind the group, "You should leave." With that said, he walked through his portal.

Squall resigned to his fate picked up his gunblade once again. However, he was to late to realize he was being pushed aside by the cards and into Balthier's dragon. Squall now knew what was going to happen. His eyes widened, and many thoughts ran through his head. From Rinoa, to his friend at the garden, and his new friends he had made while traveling these last few days.
And before he knew it, he was engulfed in a huge explosion. It was then when everything blacked out. His body dropped to the floor. Montionless, breathless, he was dead.
"..........."

Between that few moments that Zack had left and for Kyon to act, Vincent had wrapped up his leg with a bit of his tattered crimson cloak. A flimsy solution to the wound, but from the look of things, it didn't seem to bother him that much. Either that, or he had a pretty good way of hiding the pain.
He had in fact, tried to stop Kyon from making a move, by once again shooting in his direction. It proved worthless, yet again, though, as the bullets were merely deflected by the cards. This was one of those rare times that Vincent actually wished he had the power to use the beast inside of him, Chaos. At least it would prevent him from feeling so significant, or maybe at least save Squall.
Alas, he lacked the power now to conjure it, and as Kyon disappeared, Vincent struggled to stand on one leg and he slowly made his way to where Squall as laying. His face remained indescribable, the the trace amount of sadness still were revealed on his pallid visage. He looked down at Squall with a look of distress. His gun hanging beside him, useless.
"....."

Reno gave Kyon the dirtiest glare imaginable at the moment. He couldn't get up on his own two feet for very long. What did this jerk have in mind for them all? The red head didn't like the looks of it. Then, the thing he dreaded started to happen. Squall had awoken from unconsciousness. Reno glanced from him, to Balthier whom just summoned a dragon, and then to the enemy. It was then that he got an extremely bad vibe. Reno could almost tell what was going to happen. He made to get up again but the pain just brought him back down to his knees again. The red headed Turk gritted his teeth angrily as he helplessly watched the turn of events. Squall was injured badly as it already was and had just slashed at the dude that had hung around 'Zack'. This man summoned up odd looking cards and before long, Squall was completely engulfed in them and sent flying towards Balthier's dragon. Blue eyes widened as Reno shouted out "NOOOO!" An explosion erupted and Reno watched, along with the other's, Squall's lifeless figure drop to the ground. 'No! Not Squall!' thought Reno as anger surged in him towards That man. Reno got to his feet in rage but sadly, the pain only caused him to fall over. Try as he might to get back to his feet, he only kept falling back to his knees time and time again. "YOU (*sprow swiftly presses the censorship button because Reno's swearing has become too frequent AND numerous  !*)!!!" he swore loudly right when the man disappeared. The enemy now gone, Reno stopped all attempts of getting back onto his feet again. It appeared as though everyone else around here was swept with grief as one of their number and friend died. Reno looked from Kail, to Vincent, to Balthier, and then to Squall. What a saddening sight this all was. Looking at Squall's lifeless face for a few seconds, Reno then got angry once again. Gripping his metallic rod as he glared right at it as though it were 'Zack' and that other man, Reno angrily tossed his metallic rod as far and hard as he could. Swearing loudly before anger become replaced with sadness for he loss of a friend. Granted Squall and Reno never really got along that well, but Reno still thought of him as a friend. Reno went silent as he then proceeded to stare down at the ground. Not saying anything nor moving. His expression was grieved like those around them. "Those......" his voice sounded saddened as well "Those....Bastards!" It was tough to be a Turk. In the past, Reno had been ordered to make the Plate above Sector Seven fall onto a number of innocent people. He hated having to have done it but he had to do his job. Where he lived, it was hard to get around without doing his current job. Reno kept glaring down into the dirt as though the foul dirt were those scumbags. In one last anger tantrum, Reno futilely punched the hard ground before then lowering his head. Grief taking over now. |

Balthier coughs up blood as he turns away to hide the effects summoning Zodiark had on him. It had been far too long, several years since Balthier used such a powerful ability. The mana burning his skin and the inside of his body, he sighs. Balthier realizes that summoning even the God of Oblivion in his current state would do him little good. He turns to the others.
"...It's not over yet. We can revive him with the Goddess Magicite..." Balthier says to the group.

Vincent looks at Squall with a hint of skepticism, his eyebrows raised slightly. He looked down at Squall's charred body and frowned. Was this Magicite really that pwerful? To bring back the dead?
Perhaps he shouldn't be disagreeing though, he had been brought back to life, but with a terrible cost. Was there something to be offered for such a miracle?
