The Twilight Zone
~RC

Imagine, if you will, a multiverse much different from this one. In this multiverse, all things are the same, ywt different.

* * *

Two women run past currents of boiling magma as they run down into the heart of Muspelheim. The air around them shimmers with the powers that are waging war as they hurry on.

"Hurry! Hrist is holding her back, but for how long? The Great Priest Lezard can barely keep her healed!"

"I'm going as fast as I can, Valkyrie. I'm only an Einherjar."

"There is no time to waste! Mystina went to the Forest of Elves with Arngrim to meet with Queen Hel. There is no time to waste to stop the traitoress, Celia. We are the last line of defence for Asgard, Midgard, Alfheim, and Nifleheim alike!"

They stop, and see Hrist holding Lezard, the Einherjar in her arms, her tears falling onto him. "Don't die. Please, don't die."

The Valkyrie looked on. There was no need for fear here. Her body was freed of all the problems of the past when Brahms had freed Hrist from the crystal chains of agony with that sluttish Lyseria. Their target was there, gloating over her imminent victory.

"Today your fould reign ends! I, Silmeria Valkyrie, shall destroy you for the sake of all that live upon this world! I will bring forth the powers that all the worlds have lent unto me!"

Celia yelled her own cry, brandishing her gunblade, as they ran on towards destiny. "For Jotunheim and Lord Surt!"

Silmeria narrowed her eyes. "This ends now, Frei."

* * *

"No! Fujin!"

Fujin turned and smiled. "Worry not. I will be in the hands of Sorceress Hyne as I fulfill my destiny." With that, the last of the SeeDs was engulfed by blazing light as she shielded the only other Sorceress left alive.

The last good sorceress was crying. She had been forced to watch so many peaceful sorceresses die in the name of power. Adel, the gentle earth guardian who had been known the world over as the most beautiful woman ever born. Edea, the firey-tempered monster-rancher who had shunned excess, and lived a single life alone with the monsters she helped herd across the world. Ultimecia, the teacher, who had taught generations that destruction is not the way to power, but rather giving was.

All were now dead. For her. All three had killed themselves so that she might have enough power to stop this final threat. The monster that had killed Rinoa. Yes, Rinoa, who had had enough potential to stop the sun in it's tracks. That darling, bubbling girl who had made everyone around her stop and smile, who had a keen mind, and was forever making witty remarks. That Rinoa that had been adored by the world as a pop idol.

The same Rinoa who's blood covered the other sorceress' hands.

"Are you ready to die?"

Julia Heartilly readied her greatsword. "Just as soon as you are, Xu."

* * *

"It's Holy!"

The cry rang through North Cave as they say the devastation begin. Aerith's mocking laughter seemed to ring through the caverns as if she knew that even in death, she had won.

Lucrezia jostled the woman's arm. "We can't just stand here! Sephiroth wouldn't..." she choked. Sephiroth's name brought back the sight of him at the Cetra capital, with Tifa crushing his head between her hands. Sephiroth, the one last chance the world had with these terrorists out to destroy it.

Or so they had thought. Ifalna had slain her own daughter with the spear that Jenova had given her. Poor Jenova, she thought. To want nothing more than to live in peace with her son, and they tortured her. The bastards.

She shook her head. Holy should have dissipated without Aerith feeding it. But, no, it was about the engulf the entire Planet. And suffocate it in that purifying power. There was no choice left. Sephiroth must still be trying to help them, but she was still there.

"That bitch." The Cetra let out a stream of curses that would make a Highwind blush. Such prudes they were. "Rotten no good motherfucking bitch!" Lucrezia arched an eyebrow at that.

Ifalna slipped into the Lifestream, and chased down her daughter. Jenova's spear amplified her cries, along with the cries of everyone else that wanted this Planet to live with them in pain, not without them in joy.

One Amplifission later, the block was gone.

Afterwards, when they were out of the harm, Lucrezia whispered the word as they watched from the Airship over Junon. Scarlet kept the ship under control even through the wonder. "Meteor."

* * *

Silmeria Valkyrie defeated Frei at Muspelheim to avert Ragnarok. Julia Heartilly stopped the Sorceress Xu from the Universal Expansion. Ifalna Gainsbourough helps Lucrezia summon Meteor so that Holy will not suffocate the Planet, and saturate it with the Lifestream.

But after these trials, they came to a place to duel. Who can win this? Silmeria and Celia have their PWSes, especially Silmeria's Midol Terror, as well as Celia's 98% damage reducing armour, but Julia has the power of all sorceresses, and she knows how to use it with her personal GF, Valvalis, her innate knowledge of Aura, and her Limit Dodecaholywarcast. And then there's Ifalna and Lucrezia. Lucrezia's Nuclear materia can help even the playing field with damage as well as status effects, and Lucrezia has her Lv. 2 Bequeath Limit to raise all of Lucrezia's stats, as well as the Lv. 4 Amplifission to OHKO any one character.

However, Silmeria and Celia's middling speed, Ifalna's bad HP, Lucrezia's terrible MDEF, and Julia's average everything may yet prevent them from a win. Still, who will win? In this alternate battle, which team will reign supreme?!

  • Silmeria and Celia PWS their way to victory
  • All Eyes are on Julia
  • Ifalna and Lucrezia fix those bitches good


RC
Whenever cast my spells
In the arena, on my own
Whenever said my Draw
Wishing they were Ultima
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy?
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little fight

My last match here with you
Same old spells, just once more
My last match here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed attacks on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you?

Ifalna, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're always hurt
As if you're never win
Shall I be the one for you
Who Limits you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no winner

So let me Draw from you
Close as I want to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I Aura
How I love your fainted eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you?

Silmeria, share with me
Your strength if you have enough
Nibelung if you're holding back
Or Guts if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that I am all junctioned

Losers, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're really hurt
As if you're out and down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then I will know
that you are no winner


Silmeria: 2
Julia: 4
Ifalna: 3
