((I'm sorry for the delay guys and gals.  I'll explain in my next OOC post, but thank you Rev for kicking my ass into gear.))<br/><br/>Zidane chuckled as he twirled his double bladed sword about in his hands, Ultima Weapon and its blue glass like blade whistling as it cut through the air before him.  He had been the nicest person to the Cetran, and he would continue to protect her if he could.  The Monkey Boy comment reminded him of the Captain of the Knights of Pluto back home since upon their first days traveling together he hadn't liked the Genome one bit.  Considering he had 'kidnapped' the princess, (more accurately she'd been asked to be taken away at the same time they were supposed to do so oddly enough,) Zidane couldn't blame him save for the blind loyalty part which bordered on stupidity.  Still, he learned, as did Beatrix, and all the rest that they had come into contact with or helped in some form or another.  Kuja....his brother however, had been beyond redemption.  Pushing that unhappy thought aside though, he gave her a thumbs up as he chased after her until she stopped.  He knew what she was doing and stood guard until she was done, but there was a lull in the fighting around that time so he needn't have bothered.  "I can get you there."  Riku said as he soon stood before the two, opening a door to darkness for them both, having heard enough to know what they needed.  "Be careful, that new enemy is far stronger than that first presence."  He warned, and Zidane nodded solemnly.  "Let's go Aphie, we can handle whatever they got."  Riku put a hand on Aphie's shoulder however and forced her to look at him for a second.  "Have no fear and the darkness can't harm you.  I should know."  With those words he disappeared, landing on top of the ball of corpses before he would start to do whatever he could to destroy it.<br/><br/>Ultimecia meanwhile said nothing to Sephiroth, knowing his words, no matter how much she hated to admit it, held merit.  Legion had seemed like a good idea at the time because of what she had read, but now that she saw what it was capable of and how slow it was, among other things, but she would stand by her decision this day.  "Keep your advice to yourself, One Winged Angel, Sephiroth."  Ultimecia replied, feeling better until she saw they had company.  She chuckled wickedly but let Sephiroth try his hand here.  "Indeed, this last bastion of hope will be forever lost.  ALL things will be lost when this place is destroyed.  Lose all hope when that happens because every world shall fall after this."
