Legion would soon be summoned and the endless supply of zombie like figures would be more than enough to swarm the forces of light until they too wound up as more fuel for the orb of flesh.  Even if they managed to break through its outer shell, they'd have to tend with the core which was able to shoot concentrated energy beams at will from each of its tentacles, but for now, Ultimecia continued to chant and gesture on her cliff.  Soon, it'd be too late to stop her, and then the end, as she believed, would be written in stone with Chaos coming out as an early victor.  Meanwhile, Riku saw a few Ahrimen descend upon him as well, but he smirked as he seemed to disappear in a blur, popping up behind the group as he sliced them all in half on his way by, using the leader as a spring board to jump to the next group a moment later, finding his way to Lightning and Rydia as he continued to slice through one monster after another on his way up.  Landing nimbly beside the summoner, Riku put his back to hers and threw a Dark Firaga into another rather large group of Trick Sparrows.  The blue fire orb exploded violently in their midst, consuming them completely as he saw the black feathered beast going up the stairs to a gunblade wielding woman.  "Their leader is beyond my reach.  They are past the lake, that much I know for sure.  I'm guessing one of the mountains that face the castle from the front gate."  He replied to Rydia, having just heard her idea to send out scouts to see where all this was coming from before jumping on the wyvern's back as quickly as he had found his way upstairs before slicing its neck open from ear to ear, sliding down its crumbling body to stand before Lightning herself.  "Just passing through."  He said, and did just that as he dashed around and behind her a moment later, leaving a blurry after image that faded a second later as he moved onward to lend aid to anyone else that needed it.<br/><br/>Beatrix meanwhile had her hands full as the airborne threat started to drop in land bound reinforcements upon the soldiers of light.  Bandersnatches were an old hated enemy of hers, as were the Mistodons they brought with them, but they were easy to deal with thanks to her incredible fighting prowess.  Her every movement was a study in her skill and prowess with a blade as one after the other fell to her sword.  She took out several of the creatures at once as she invoked Stock Break, shattering their health to near death before finishing them off a moment later.  Looking out on the balcony when there was a lull in the fighting, their worst fears would be realized as Legion was brought fully into their world as the sound of an immense glass window being shattered could be heard all across the castle grounds.  The demonic orb of bodies slowly floated up to hover just above the castle before it began to drop its deadly payload of a never ending swarm of zombies upon them.  Unless it was dealt with soon, even their strongest efforts wouldn't be enough to deal with it all.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Trick Sparrow<br/>(http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/4/40/TrickSparrow-FFIX.jpg)<br/><br/>Mistodon<br/>(http://images.mmosite.com/news/2009/10/09/wowcompare/mistodonffix.png)<br/><br/>Bandersnatch<br/>(http://ff9.ffsky.cn/pic/villains/Bandersnatch.jpg)</div></div>
