"E-Eien..." Diyem snarled, smashing his hammer into the ground as he rose up. "I... I won't let you..." He winced, trying to feel for something, but his hand was trembling too much. That single attack... had taken so much out of him. Even worse, he felt as if he could barely fight back anymore...

That horrible smile was still etched in the thing's face even as it crashed into the ground. Shadowy wisps slammed against his body as he was destroyed, until nothing but that gaze remained, lingering in that hazy air, before that, too, was gone. But that feeling didn't leave Dave. The Shadows...

"You will, huh..." Raven sighed weakly. Her core was falling apart, but she nodded. "That... that sounds like it might be okay. Maybe it'll turn out alright. If I just..." She trailed off. "Mellow... I... I'm tired." Her feathers compressed and her eyes closed. "I think I'm going to sleep for a...

"A great lot of platitudes, but all meaningless in the end!" Father smirked, a horrible grin followed, as he pulled. He finally got a hold of his Soul Blade and pulled back. The gesture heaved against Icetales' own grip, narrowly taking it out. Had Icetales not focused enough on the blade? Or...

Ivy stared, wide-eyed, at the sky at first, making what might have been a gasp. When she did, her core expanded, then contracted, like lungs, and she winced. "Ivy is okay..." She wasn't; she looked badly hurt. But she smiled anyway, even as the villagers loomed over them. "Ivy... wants you all...

Raven was shaking again. Her core was starting to unravel, and at first, she looked fearful, holding her chest. But when Raven said that it was hatching... she gasped, then held her core a little firmer, as well as she could. She nodded. "That... that must be it," she said. The red lights were...

It seemed like the path was getting clearer. Now that the fires of the false village were behind them, and the howling winds of the storm were in a calm patch where they stood, a new sound was clearer. It sounded like... a howl. A rallying cry. Far ahead, on a large rock that oversaw an open...

The pair walked quietly through the remains of the fading ritual circle, inert and powerless. Nothing but memories remained in this brief stronghold of Eterna. There was a stronger, yet severable bond between Bahamut and the reborn Ultra Shade. They could now stand independently of one another...

The Shining Sunbeams cut through the shadows, removing the binds that kept Saltriv on the ground. Burhalla winced and took a step back when they did, a tinge of darkness falling away from his form. "And what are you going to do... once I'm left behind?" Burhalla said. "I'll be just fine on my...

"You... are calling me weak?" Umbra stepped closer to Nip, up to the point where they were only a step apart. "I know there's the phrase of... taking one to know one. But I don't think that applies here. I know weakness when I see it. And you..." Her larger jaws turned toward him, opening to...

Bullets whipped past Dave's ears and over his head; one shot him in the back of his leg, but Mia only briefly stopped to tell him to keep running. The churchgoers weren't chasing them. "We're leaving," Mia said, pointing at the road. They'd made it to the sidewalk, a trail of blood marking a...

Raven gasped and tired to fly away, but instead toppled over the ground next to Mellow and groaned. "What... are you doing?! I'm--I'm not with you! I'll nevert be with you, I'm with the village, I'm--I was about to be accepted! Why can't you get that? I'm... I need this home. You're... going to...

Puddle held its fist in the air, trembling. That attack could have blown several of the training dummies away all in one blow, but he only held it, doing what it could to maintain that focus. Slowly, it turned its head. "Then... then what is my name? What... am I? Or am I just... going to...

"I won't let you defeat me so easily, Eien," Diyem said, spreading his wings. "Snap out of it! I know you're still there! WAKE UP! Stop this pointless storm!" The creature roared back and Diyem couldn't even recognize her sound. A few more heads fired at him... Diyem winced, spotting the...

"I know as much as you do," Burhalla said. "I came from your memories. Don't you remember?" But Burhalla didn't do anything just yet. He watched Saltriv closely, red flame gently shrinking in size. "Well?" Burhalla said. "What are you going to do? Sit there and wait? You know this village...

Mia agreed and ran past the humans and out of the main chamber room. The humans looked like they were about to fire, but then Dave's snarls--his attack on the human--made everyone suddenly pause and shudder. "Wh-what the fuck is wrong with these... abominations?!" The one that Dave attacked...

"You DARE... defy me? Your Father!?" He tugged on the Soul Blade again, but the chains were strong, and he couldn't pull out of it. He also couldn't let go. "FALL!"

The villagers readied their attacks; a horrible voice was still shouting for Cynthian to strike, to do anything, and while it felt like this presence was powerful, like it was trying to force her into attacking against her will, it couldn't get a single foothold. There were no longer any Shadows...

The ball of light did not respond, not immediately. But it felt as if the chains that bound them together loosened. They did not sever--would it ever be possible to remove such bonds?--but they loosened. Just enough that they were no longer a firm binding, but something only there, adrift but...

"Yeah... y'know... I..." Luz tried to say something more. It was obvious what she would say. But the words didn't come. She smiled. The red lights were fading. The core's electricity was almost completely gone. But she wasn't afraid anymore. Because even if Brisa would leave... everyone had to...
