Vincent saw Belphegor's glowing orb, and knew his question was answered. And not a moment too soon. I think Rude has finally gone to Strawberry Fields.
He evaded the beam as he landed some ten feet from the fallen lieutenant and charged into an Chaos-augmented attack as Rude distracted it, aiming an earth-shattering blow at that orb with every iota of power in his body, fully intending to obliterate that intolerable thing on contact.
His voice came out distorted. He couldn't even remember if he had spoken in Chaos form before.
"Time to die now."

Amnesty heard Lutz's words... faces flashed through her mind as she strained to pull herself back to her feet, faces of all those that she loved...
She limped slightly as her leg stung, shrieking the news of its injury... Aw, shut up and stop your whining, Ami insisted, glancing at her wound. It's barely more than a scratch.
Use the power of love...
"Love exists," she hissed. "But fairly soon... you won't."
She thought back... on all those Silken she had claimed as her family... on her brothers, linked to her by blood... on her allies, bound to her by duty and loyalty... on Squall, to whom her body and soul belonged... She shoved down the ache of the pain trying to erupt from her and charged, supercharged by the reminder of how much they were depending on her... and how much she needed them to survive... and the knowledge that none of them would if she failed...

The Dragon screeched in pain as his eye ball was ripped and slashed to goo, the Dragon tryed slashing its claws at Kadaj to get him off. The dead shamans kept trying to rebirth themselves into Golms but Loz kept smashing the golms to rubble before they could emerage. More Dark Sarsha troops advanced overwhelming the Silken, very few Silken were remaining now and some mystic Kilka was no dead.
*****************************
Belphegor had given up on trying to burn Rudes sould.
Belphegor: "......a shield....."
He then noticed Vincent but he was in to much pain to react fast enough, Vincent attack the orb from within Belphegor, the orb was his life force, for he had no soul he wasn't even living for the most part. Belphegor was more of a puppet then a real living being. when Vincent made impact with the orb the body of Belphegor burned to ashes but bursted into the black flames and exploded, the explosion bursted all over Vincent attack his soul. Belphegor was dead.....but his last attack left Vincents soul burned forever, the curse would not ever kill him but at times Vincent would now feel a few second of pain to always remind him of the battle he had with the mighty Belphegor......
****************************
Amnesty's attack were more powerful then ever, Lucifer blocked the attacks but with each attack hes was getting weaker and weaker.
Lucifer: "This is maddness!"
one of Amnesty attack hit him finally and broke the skin of Lucifer, he looked at the cut on his arm, his blood burned. His eyes glew purple and two massive Skeleton arms bursted out of the ground ready to attack Amnesty.
Lucifer: "Snap her like a twig!"
Lutz was taking care of the Demon Knights the leader of the Sins had summoned, The demon knights wielded massive axes and the swung them with great power. but Lutz was to quick for them, they were to slow where Lutz was gifted with natural speed, he dashed behind them all like a assassin creating a flaming dagger in hand cutting there throats with a burning slash.

Seifer watched intently, studying their attacks. Becoming bored of this, he took out a bottle of water and drank from it. Raijin was at this time, holding off the knights with his combinations, but was in no state to win the battle. Akira got up again and dodged an aero blast headed for him and struck Fujin to the temple with a well aimed kick. Seifer Raised his gunblade and took a shot into the air, summoning gilgamesh, which ripped through the knights with ease. Raijin grinned and went to help Fujin, using his club to send Akira spiraling through a wall, and outside.

Vincent felt the fire burning into him and writhed in pain, nearly doubling over... but he kept himself upright, groaning as he forced himself to stand upright again.
The Sloth is dead... but this battle isn't over yet.
Reinforcements were still coming... the broken bodies of the Silken lay scattered everywhere...
He spotted one with a red marking on its face, lying dead. He recognized him from the meetings at the camp... he'd been among the first tribes to arrive. And he had brought his family... a wife, a child, an unhatched egg.
The Chaos-deformed eyes went from burning rage to hard, cold anger, a bitter determination to make these freaks suffer for their part in this massacre.
His head snapped towards the fortress as he heard a panicked scream...
****
The enormous, bony arms were swiping towards Amnesty like swatters at a fly. She shrieked in terror as she leapt and dodged the huge attackers...
She was quick, and managed to evade the monstrosities for at least a good five minutes, swiping back at them with her gauntlets. But the blades barely made a scratch in the tough bone surfaces, and soon she began to tire...
Then she misjudged something. She dodged right instead of left, leapt up instead of ducking down, and the cruel fingers had her... were pulling at the opposite ends of her, trying to tear her apart... she struggled and screamed bloody murder, trying to get herself loose...
She closed her eyes for a moment. Please... remember that I tried.
I never wanted to leave you...
Suddenly there was a terrific explosion, the boom of detonation, and shards of bone flying everywhere. She was falling, too shocked to scream...
Something slammed into her with an earth-shaking thud, sending her rocketing through midair, interrupting her fall as wind whistled in her ears... she was stunned for a moment, but then felt arms hanging onto her... her vision cleared...
"Vincent!" He'd left the battle behind to rescue her, destroying the bone hands with Chaos blasts from the Cerberus.
They landed, and he set her down. Ami still felt stunned beyond reason. "What about Belphegor?"
"You're welcome," he replied, deadpan.
She paused for a moment. "Th- thank you," she sputtered out. His voice sounds like it's coming through a wobble filter... Ami thought randomly.
He nodded in return.
Amnesty found herself examining him... Why did you leave the others to help ME? And that business back at the prison... ever since the Seventh Heaven you've been acting strange around me...
She opened her mouth to say something to that effect, but thought better of it when spotted Lucifer behind him. "Vincent, why don't we conclude this conversation at a more opportune time?"
My thoughts precisely. Again, he nodded agreement.
The pair turned on the demon, charging in tandem... her gauntlets drawn back to deliver a deadly strike at the creature's ribcage, Vincent's claws aimed to crush the monster's head...
Amnesty noticed Vincent was traveling with less steam than before, that he was not comitting as fully as he had been, although his forward momentum was still furiously supercharged... her fragmented psychic powers were picking up on massive radiations of pain, emanating from him... The battle with Belphegor must have really taken something out of him... guess I have to bring in enough power to make up for both of us.
But that was easier said than done... this battle had been a long one and no positive end seemed to be in sight... not with all these extra forces pouring into the arena...

Kadaj saw the feebly swiping dragon claws coming from miles away. He barely even had to move to dodge them, leaving the sword in the dragon's eye... the beast's life was ebbing.
He smirked. Almost too easy... ALMOST.
The claws safely past, he scrambled back up to the monster's head before they could make another pass at him... He returned to the sword and plunged it in, elbow deep, piercing the dragon's brain... he was getting dragon eye slime all over him, but he didn't care. Battles were never designed for the squeamish.
He thrust the sword around a bit to make pate of the animal's gray matter. Whether a dragon's brain really is or isn't gray is an inconsequential side issue.
He pulled the double katana out of the leaking socket and was gratified to find a pasty gray substance clinging to it... I got him that time.
But all other issues aside... this really IS d**ned disgusting.

Yazoo kept picking off Sarsha troops as Loz finished off the Golms... the Silken were sorely outnumbered, but hopefully, after Kadaj stopped playing around with that dragon pest, they would be able to even the odds a bit... more Shadowcreepers sprang up to replace the others lost, and all tore into the Dark Sarsha, easier prey than the Shamans, ripping flesh from bone...
****
Rude found himself without backup and surrounded by hostiles. He didn't think the shield wouldn't do a lot of good if they got in too close, and he wasn't willing to test the theory under these conditions in any case... He turned the Sacrifice to Electronic Ram mode and began plowing through the Sarsha ranks with it... "Eat this, punks," he muttered to himself, adjusting his shades.
The sheild faded slightly and he cursed... Well, duh, genius... without the Lifestream to fuel my powers from Aztar, it won't hold out too long.
****
Reno observed Belphegor's fall and whooped it up. "Score one more for the good guys, yo! Six down, one to go!"
A little bit silly with triumph, he decided to lend the lizard dudes a hand, and moved in, swinging erratically at the Sarsha, generating a wave of random destruction before him... he punched out one of the guys near the center of the formation and he fell forward, toppling his comrades like dominoes... Reno almost died laughing at the absurdity of the spectacle...

Lucifer quickly casted another skeleton hand from the ground to punch Vincent, Then he turned to his attention to Amnesty.
Lucifer: "I have come to far to lose!"
He began to cast his most deadly spell the touch of death. his hands were charging with green lighting.
Lucifer: "Touch of death!"
Lutz quickly looked over at Lucifer as he spoke those words
That is a instant death attack! oh no Amnesty!
Lutz dash over with great speed and did a flaming kick knocking Lucifer out of focus and launched the attack in the wrong direction missing Amnesty completely. The magic attack had draining much of Lucifer's power, but Lutz continued by jumping on him and repeatly slashing his claws across Lucifer's chest. The demon king lefted his hoove foot and kicked Lutz off of him, He looked over at Amnesty and pointed at her.
Lucifer spoke quietly...
"You shall die...."
Lutz rose up.
"Now Amnesty! give it your all hes to weak now!"

Amnesty had no idea what she was going to do when she got there... but she plowed at Lucifer heedlessly, well aware this could be her only chance to end this war here and now...
Vincent watched for a beat. You are different from her in one way.
You aren't afraid.
She pulled her gauntlets up to the left over her shoulder and at point-blank range unleashed a powerful slash down to the right, his medsection directly in the path of the deadly, until-now-pristine blades, still charging with the speed of a meteorite preparing to impact with a planet... and in that last instant, a series of memories passed before her eyes... everyone she had ever held in her arms...
I won't let go.
Suddenly Vincent was pelted by stones ripped out of the ground in the skeleton hand's wake, a hand that balled into a fist and swung wildly at him... Vincent barely managed to drop under the attack in time, blasting at the wrist with the Cerberus...

Amnesty's powerful emotional attack ripped right passed Lucifers defense and slashed him across the throat. Blood sprayed out of the wound as he grabbed it. Lucifer began to cough up blood as well. Lutz walked slowly over to Amnesty.
Lutz: "I is done now...Finish him Ami....He is to weak to attack now..."
More blood goozed from Lucifer's wounded neck
Lucifer: "Amnesty....Spare my life and I shall join you! grant you unlimited power! with me on your side nothing could stand in our way nothing! not even Sephiroth!"

"Evil v. evil," Ami said, pretending to mull it over. No way would she even consider giving this obscenity an inch...
But, didn't he use to be human once?
Could it be he really wanted another chance?
Could he...
No.
I don't want power.
I'm sick of power.
All I want is the people I love. I'm tired of power.
I want to go home.
I don't really have one... but that is a side issue I'll have to deal with later.
She made one more lightning-quick slash at his neck, cutting right through it.
The demon's head fell away and rolled to her feet. She stepped back in revulsion from the still-pleading, demonic eyes.
He said Sephiroth...
He's back, AGAIN?
It doesn't matter. I can handle him. One on one, if I have to.
Vincent, covered in shards of the bony hand he had destroyed, approached the girl, who was still frozen in the shock of battle's end.
"It's over."
The words didn't seem to snap her out of it.

Lucifer's head rolled passed Amnesty's feet. His body seemed to melt into nothing and the dark sky cleared so the sun could shine again. all The Dark Sarsha troops transformed back to their more human looking selves. The war was finally over...
Lutz walked over to Ami.
"Ya did good Ami! Aztar was right about you...you got the right strength in you to save worlds...even if Sephiroth is coming back...I know you can defeat him and hopefully for good this time hes getting on my nerves popping his ugly face again and again!"
Sephiroth.....Vacsh....what is the connection....
Lutz gave Amnesty a big hug and smiled, he looked around and noticed something has changed in Vincent, he acted as if Amnesty was is sister or daughter....
**********************
Abel slowly awoke from is battling slumber.
ouch...my head...Samson! where is he? I hope he made it out of the Pit Bull in time!
Abel rose up and started walking around, he noticed the battle was over and the sun shined bright.
Abel: "The war...is over....Beautiful....."

Amnesty felt Lutz hugging her and finally started returning to reality.
The Sins... they are all finally dead at last.
Anger and Vanity... My sins are gone.
She looked up at Lutz and smiled for him. So... have we finally some measure of peace?
She walked to edge of the fortress and looked down at the battlefield. A crowd of confused-looking humans stood at the mercy of the remaining Silken troops. Her brothers stood over the remains of a mutilated dragon, which was melting into the blue vapor of the defeated Summon. Rude's shield fizzled out... but he didn't need it any more.
She looked down on the masses... and they looked back.
She raised her gauntlets to the sky and shouted in triumph, and a roar of voices met her cry.
Vincent began reverting to human form as he looked on the girl.
I remember when someone else, a boy I used to know, was very much like you... The dead live again.

Seifer grinned as Lucifer was defeated, and left through the hole that Vincent had made. Fujin and Raijin chased after him, hurrying to get away from Amnesty and Vincent before either one of them spotted them. Akira secured his swords, and decided against going after them as he was thankful for Lucifers defeat.

Lutz transformed back into his Chaos form and gave Amnesty a ride back to the camp to greet everyone a victrous win for the Races of the realm known as Quicksand.
************************************
Abel walked over to Rude and grabbed him by the coat.
"Where is Samson!?"
That basterd still better be alive!
************************************
The remaining Silken and Kilka suvivors returned to the main camp and began to dance and cheer it was time to relax and time to rejoice!
