OOC: the
FFVII Crisis Core battle theme for this scene.
"This has gone on long enough..." The Grand Master muttered, regaining her balance in mid-air as the group cornered her on a flat expanse of ground higher up the spire. "Enough games. Now you shall witness the very power that built your homeworld used against you." She said as the crack fic energy crackled and surged around her as she gathered crack fic energy into her lower torso which twisted and crawled downwards, forming the shape of a pair of legs.
"I'm sad to say that your friend's sacrifice was for naught." She said, as her legs touched the ground once more.
"LL..." Zeni grasped the bag containing his ashes tightly in one hand. "A true Mazoku needs no words." She said, as a spiral of crack fic energy spiralled out of the ground before her. "For his actions speak for him." She finished, upending the bag and pouring the ashes into the growing spiral of crack fic energy.
"Z-Zeni! I can't ressurect him without those ashes!" Xaosite shouted in shock.
"Who says he needs resurrecting?" Zeni asked, watching as the spiral of crack fic energy absorbed the ashes before turning a deep black, not an absence of colour, but, rather, an absence of light, as it exploded upwards into a full-blown tornado...
....before vanishing...
"Well, can we get back to the custard?" David asked, looking from Zeni to Xaosite.
"I shall show you all the meaning of despair..." The Grand Master said, pulling a huge silver and gold claymore out of mid-air.
"Bring it!" Zeni shouted, leaping forwards, spinning her double-ended blade around, building up momentum as she charged towards the Grand Master. She pulled her blade out of the centrifuge and brought it down hard on the Grand Master who raised her own blade to counter. Sparks exploded in the gloom as the cold steel clashed upon cold steel.
The two crossed swords, dancing back and forth, steel whirling and clashing in clouds of sparks, before, with an almighty swing, the Grand Master sent Zeni flying backwards across the platform.
Zeni flipped in mid-air and skid to a halt, kneeling. Eterna leapt over her, both katanas blazing, not giving the Grand Master any time to recover as she began a second barrage of attacks.
"Awake..." Zeni whispered, whipping one arm through the air. "FATE!" She shouted, a tri-barrelled gun materializing out of thin air in her hand as she completed the arch. "CERBERUS!" She shouted once more, swinging her other hand through the air as a second tri-barrelled gun materialized in it.
With yet another almighty slash, the Grand Master sent Eterna flying up into the sky, just as David leapt out from behind his cover and unloaded yet another magazine's worth of bullets from his BAR.
"Eterna, catch!" Zeni shouted as she leapt forwards while tossing Fate into the air. The Grand Master, meanwhile, was deflecting David's bullets while pacing slowly towards him.
"Thanks!" Eterna shouted back, spinning in mid-air and catching the gun neatly before kicking off the tower wall and launching herself towards the Grand Master.
"Crimson Moon, guide my bullet..." Zeni whispered to herself as she raised her gun towards the Grand Master. "Strike true, CERBERUS!" Zeni shouted as she pulled the trigger.
"Rain death, FATE!" Eterna shouted as she sailed above. Together, they showered the Grand Master with a barrage of magical bullets.
The Grand Master's eyes flashed a pale yellow as she pulled a second claymore out of thin air and started to deflect the bullets with great accuracy.
Eterna landed neatly, a short distance away from the Grand Master, just as Zeni rounded around so that she stood opposite Eterna with the Grand Master in between them.
"You think your peashooters will have a chance against me?!" The Grand Master laughed as she swung her twin claymores into a fighting stance.
"There's a reason why Crimson Moon Executioners come in pairs." Zeni said, charging manna into her gun.
"Yeah, and there's a reason why they're made as twins." Eterna added, doing the same.
"CHRONO TRIGGER!" The twins shouted together as they dissappeared into thin air.
OOC: Sorry, I can't pass that name up
Suddenly, the air was ablaze with magic bullets coming in from all directions as the sound of 6 identical gun barrels roaring almost continuously filled the air. The Grand Master merely smirked as she let go of her claymores, charged more crack fic energy into her hands, before her hands started moving at an incredibly insane speed.
As the Claymores clattered to the ground, the Grand Master's arms stopped moving as she opened up her fists, letting hundreds of bullets fall. Her eyes flashed once more as they gained enough speed to see the twins spin around her.
"Eh...?" The twins gaped, before the Grand Master's hands found their throats. "Ulp...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" They screamed as the Grand Master spun them round and round before throwing them into opposite walls.
"HEAD'S UP!" A voice shouted from above. The Grand Master spun around and looked up just in time to see David's smiling face atop the dragon just before it dissappeared behind the dragon's open snout.
The Grand Master raised a palm towards the dragon and sent out a shockwave so powerful that it stopped the dragon completely in mid-air. The Dragon roared with fury as it unleashed a stream of fiery hot flames straight towards the GMF....who merely sent out another shockwave which dissipated the flames.
"I'm happy we see eye to eye here..." David's smile was the only thing visible as his silhoutte in the flames sailed over the Grand Master. The GMF couldn't help blink as she looked up into the half-insane eyes of the time agent as he aimed his BAR straight into her face. "Let's see you catch these." He smirked, before he unloaded at least two dozen or so bullets in the GMF's face.
He rolled out of his landing and started running sideways, reloading his gun as he trained his sights back on the GMF who was holding one shaking hand up to her smoking face. "H-HOW DARE YOU?!" She shrieked, raising a cracke-energy charged palm straight at David. "DIE!"
"Next time, make sure we're dead first before you look elsewhere!" A voice shouted as the ground underneath the GMF glowed as a magical circle materialized just before it exploded into a giant crystal icicle. Eterna clicked a finger, causing the crystal to shatter and explode.
"Sure, I'll do that." The GMF chuckled, brushing off the bits of diamond dust of her dress as Eterna ran straight for her, katanas raised.
"Janus! I'm going to need your help on this one!" Zeni shouted, driving her blade into the ground and clapping her hands together, forming a glowing ball of manna in both palms. "Keep her busy for me!"
"We are the blood of the Crimson Moon...." Zeni began to chant.
"Darkness is our path, and death is our virtue..." Eterna continued, as she crossed blades with the GMF.
"Forth Azurewrath!" The seven Januses attacked from all directions, just as Eterna got blown away by a powerful crack-energy shockwave from the Grand Master. The Grand Master gritted her teeth as she clashed blades with all 7 Januses simultaneously.
She spun around, slashing away one Janus, before blasting away another Janus with a well-aimed crack blast. She turned around just in time to counter an overhead slash from another Janus who came in sailing through the air from behind. She recoiled slightly under the strength of the blow, before she leapt off into the air and threw Janus backwards, further up into the sky. There they crossed swords once more as three more Januses flew up to join the fray.
The Grand Master charged up a whirlwind of crack energy and whirled around, throwing the Januses around backwards. However, she didn't notice one Janus who was hovering above her, Azurewrath aimed downwards at her. "PATH OF THE TRUE LIGHT! SMITE THE DARKNESS!" He shouted, as a ray of light lanced down and crashed straight into the Grand Master, sending her crashing into the ground.
"This one's yours, Eterna!" Zeni shouted, holding out one manna charged hand to Eterna who was flying backwards towards her. "We have fought over a thousand battles." She continued chanting.
"Thanks, Sis." Eterna shouted back, grabbing the hand and accepting the ball of manna as Zeni swung her around and back at the Grand Master. "Unknown to hatred, nor known to love." Eterna continued Zeni's chant.
"Many times have we withstood pain to blaze through darkness." Zeni raised the other manna charged palm up into the rain before balling it into a fist and slamming it into the ground. Bluish white glowing pattern-like cracks split through the ground straight for the Grand Master, right under Eterna who was flying towards her.
"Huh, is that the best you can..." The Grand Master began as she got to her feet. Her sentence trailed off as she noticed Eterna flying towards her, with Zeni charging up a spell right behind her. She raised up her blade in defense in preparation for the attack.
"And yet, those hands that have braved so much will never hold anything" Eterna continued on chanting.
"SO AS WE PRAY..." The twins raised their voice together.
"UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS DUO....FIRST DANCE!" Zeni shouted, as hundreds of blades of all sizes and shapes burst out of the cracks in the ground, straight at the Grand Master, all glowing a pale white glow before they exploded upon blasting into her blade, driving her backwards, before her defense faltered and the blades exploded in her face.
"UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS DUO...SECOND DANCE!" Eterna shouted, doing a barrel role in midair, forming a bluish white halo with her ball of manna. The halo crystalized and shattered, giving away into a hundred more blades that flew in a circle formation around her. She flew right up to the Grand Master, pulled two blades out of the halo of blades, and slashed straight through her. The blades immediately disintegrated into plasma-like light, but left deep burning gashes in the Grand Master's Body. Eterna pulled more blades out, repeated, pulled even more blades out, repeated, all the time picking up speed with her slashes.
"Xaosite, David, don't give her time to recover! It's your turn next!" Zeni shouted as she leapt up into the air, a golden glow now enveloping her.
"Alley-ooop!" Eterna shouted, pulling the last blade out of her halo and slashing upwards, blasting the now limp Grand Master up into the air, straight into Zeni's flight path.
"UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS DUO...THIRD DANCE - OMNISLASH!" Zeni and Eterna both shout as Eterna flew up towards the now airborne Grand Master just as Zeni arrives. The air around them shimmered and cracked, giving away to an alternate dimension, filled with giant clockwork gears, steam, and dust. All around them, thousands upon thousands of blades hovered in the air, waiting to be used.
Zeni grabbed a pair of blades as she flew towards the Grand Master, her golden glow growing brighter as she slashed through the Grand Master and flew straight through her. Eterna did the same as she flew upwards and slashed upwards through the Grand Master. Zeni spun around, grabbed another pair of blades, and repeated her attack run, alternating attack runs with Eterna. This went on for what seemed like at least 10 minutes.
As the last of the thousands upon thousands of blades slashed through the Grand Master's body, the alternated dimension cracked and shattered, giving way to the dark stormy tower once more.
Zeni and Eterna landed in a kneeling position as their respective blades fell and drove themselves into the ground beside them, before the Grand Master crashed into the ground behind them.
"Xaosite, David, your turn!" Zeni and Eterna shouted almost simultaneously.
