Seeing that his initial blast had at least done some heavy damage to the exterior of the unholy summoned monster, Leviathan reared up again and drew in a deep breath as he gathered the energy to perform a second attack directly to the monster's core. As his gaze came up almost to the horrible creation's level, in his peripheral, he saw the silhouette of a tall man standing atop the very peak of the castle for the smallest fraction of a second, before it disappeared and a black flash flew down his back and leaped from the edge of his body that was above the water. For a moment, it seemed like nothing happened, but then the enormous eidolon's pupils dilated and it drew in a hitched breath as a dozen massive gashes appeared its serpentine body, bleeding heavily to paint the nearby castle walls red.<br/><br/>"FATHER!" Rydia cried out from afar as she watched the summon sink forward against the highest tower, losing consciousness and entering his human form. Normally, he appeared like a powerful king dressed in purple, but now he was little more than a bloody, ruined mess of a man, lying atop the tower directly underneath Legion. Calling back her Sylphs from their scouting trip for some emergency healing, the green-haired summoner started rushing around the castle and going up every staircase she could find, trying to reach the eidolon who had raised her in time to save him, until finally using what little magical power she had left to call Bahamut to carry her to the top, regardless of what danger laid there.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Across the lake, a swordsman (http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/4/46/Sephiroth_Dissidia_Artwork.png) landed silently in the snow(?) a few feet to Ultimecia's side, a large black wing retreating under his coat in the blink of an eye. "You seem tired, Sorceress," the silver-haired man pointed out as he turned to face the castle once again, admiring the view one had from here of the vicious assault. "Next time, I'd suggest summoning something that can defend itself a bit better than that. Something like that is a pretty big target," he went on, referring to both Legion and Leviathan equally. The Weapons of his world probably would have been harder to handle if they weren't such easy targets for a cannon.
