[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Scene fades in with Skise, with platinum hair, is on the very top of a hill but suddenly three huge ships appears in the sky coming from behind. The scene blackens with hundreds of other ships flying and then fades in with Skise inside Highwind with Cid and the others.

Cid: We meet again.

Skise: Likewise.

Tifa: Who is he?

Barret: Is he part of the empire.

Cid: Don’t worry he is not a bad guy, and he is going to help us to defeat the Shadow Empire.

Skise: Was this the reinforcements you were talking about?

Cid: Yep, brought the whole crew with me and several fleets from the three worlds joined our cause to help save the planet.

Skise: So this huge fleet is going to the empire to wage an epic war against it.

Cid: We sure are.

Skise: You guys seem confident but it might work.

Tifa: Do you have any news about Cloud?

Skise: The last time I saw him he was heading toward the empire fortress and seem to be doing just fine.

Tifa: Oh, okay.

Skise: But it would be better if he saw you guys.

Tifa: Really.

Skise: He has finally learned the true meaning of friendship and teamwork.

Cid: Are you sure, he isn’t the type of a guy that would change like that.

Skise: He has been through a lot and met interesting people that got his back no matter what. It will make him happier if you guys were there right beside him fighting against the empire.

Tifa: Alright, let’s go help the Cloud and the others defeat the empire.

Xu walks into the conference room of the Highwind with two special SeeD bodyguards.

Cid: Welcome aboard my ship.

Xu: Thank you for letting us on. [To Skise] Glad to see you again Skise, are the others alright.

Skise: They seem fine when I left them.

Xu: That’s good to hear and Cid… The Balamb, Galbadia, and the new Trabia Garden also Edea’s ship is here under your command. Sir Laguna also build up a fleet of ships and is under your guidance also with the aid of the garden.

Cid: Why me?

Xu: You seem like a reasonable person to be the leader in the absence of our leaders.

Cid: You could count on me to be a great leader and live up to yours.

Xu: Thank you Cid.

Skise: That seems encouraging.

Cid: Don’t worry we have our own fleet to add to theirs and some newly made ships from Spira that Gippal finished building.

Skise: So this is it.

Cid: We will show him the true might of all three worlds combine into one for the same cause.

Scene blackens and fade in inside the empire with the fourteen on the ground from the electrical shock that Crysir gave them. Urbine then suddenly appears out of the shadows and see the fourteen knock out cold.

Urbine: I guess Crysir was little bit too much for them after all. Even though it’s their first one the next one that they will fight will be a lot stronger.

Cloud: Ugh…

Urbine: This one seems quite a nuisance to the empire.

Cloud: [Gets up] Ugh… my whole body seems to ache so badly.

Urbine: (Let’s test this one…)

Cloud: Ugh… huh… it’s you.

Urbine: You want a piece of me.

Cloud charges Urbine and attacks him with almost everything he got which puts Urbine on quick thinking evasion tactics.

Urbine: (Most impressive, his skills are improving by every fight that he encounters. I wouldn’t be surprise if these kids really do defeat the Shadow Empire. The only thing that concerns me is the gateway to the fifth world.)

The scene shows Urbine punch Cloud once and knocks him several feet back which Cloud is struggling to get back to his feet. Once he gets on his feet the thirteen slowly wakes up seeing Urbine.

Rikku: It’s him again.

Zell: It’s the same guy that put us in that void.

Urbine: You guys finally waken up.

Selphie: What happen to that Crysir dude?

Urbine: You’re three heroes defeated them.

Cloud: Enough talking Urbine, tell us why you are here if you aren’t going to fight us.

Urbine: Are you always to the point.

Cloud: Only when I’m piss off.

Urbine: Expected answer from you.

Rikku: He’s doing it again.

Auron: Why you are here?

Urbine: It has been eight hours since you have been here and the bad news that you have two hours until the four worlds are connected.

Vincent: Why are you telling us?

Urbine: I have my own goals and I don’t need the Shadow Empire around.

Cloud: Who are you?

Urbine: When the time comes you will find out.

Squall: Why don’t you tell us now?

Urbine: You have other things to worry about that takes more priority then learning my true intention.

Quisits: He is talking nonsense he is just wasting time.

Rikku: I can’t take this anymore, let’s get him.

Cloud: No, we have to go now.

Rikku: You no fun.

Squall: Cloud is right. We need to hurry to the fortress.

Everyone runs toward the bridge passing Urbine but suddenly everyone except Cloud, Squall, and Tidus stops in their tracks and fall back.

Tidus: Huh? [The three turns around]

Squall: What happen?

Cloud: Explain Urbine!

Urbine: Like I was about to tell you impatient kids, is that only you three are allow to the fortress unharmed.

Cloud: What does that suppose to mean.

Squall: It means that we are on our own from now on.

Urbine: Exactly…

Tidus: If that’s the case then we have to go and pray that they will be safe.

Urbine: You three won’t make it to the fortress in two hours if you run your fastest.

Cloud: What are you trying to get at?

Urbine: As an award for coming this far…

Urbine swings his hands as something in front of the three is coming up from the ground. Two high tech motorcycles and car appears as they walk up to them amazed.

Urbine: …use these, it might come in handy.

Cloud: One of the bikes is mine.

Squall: I take the car.

Tidus: So the motorcycle is mine.

Cloud and Tidus gets on the motorcycles while Squall gets inside the car and they all start the engines. Cloud suddenly speeds off with an after image of his tail lights following behind. Tidus grins as he takes off similar to Cloud trying to catch up to him. Squall tires screech with smoking coming out as he burns out and quickly accelerates to the two.

Zell: Those vehicles were so cool I can’t believe that we have to stay here.

Urbine: …

Yuna: What’s the matter?

Urbine: The Empire’s northern wall spotted a fleet of several hundred ships.

Zell: A fleet?

Urbine: Yes…

Irvine: It must be the reinforcement.

Rinoa: I have an incoming message.

Selphie: What’s does it say?

Rinoa: The four gardens, the Highwind, Laguna’s Fleet, and the Machine Fraction Fleet are coming to wage war on the empire.

Urbine: …interesting.

Selphie: Yea Laguna’s fleet is coming but I thought there were only three gardens.

Rinoa: They rebuilt Trabia.

Selphie: That’s good to hear.

Rikku: Did you say that there is a Machine Fraction Fleet?

Rinoa: Yes. I have information that Gippal has finished building a fleet of ships and sent them to help us to defeat the empire.

Rikku: Did you hear that, Spira is sending its own fleet.

Yuna: Gippal has outdone himself again.

Paine: These sounds interesting.

Scene blackens and fade in on the Highwind with Skise and the others in the conference room.

Cid: I see… so there is a defense ring around the empire that destroys anything that is in range that the radar doesn’t recognize.

Skise: Correct, we must find a way to destabilize the defense system and if we do this now then their will be less causality and less ammo use.

Cid: Xu, did you already contact the others.

Xu: Yes sir, I contacted Rinoa which had a radio on her that I gave her when they left from Teego.

Cid: Good, good.

Barret: So what happens after when we destabilize the defense system?

Skise: Once we pass the defense ring then we enter the first outer ring of the empire. The empire is consisting of four ring sections. The first ring is where mostly the defense is at, if the defense ring failed and hopefully that goes down when the defense ring goes down. The second ring is where the habitants lived at with skyscrapers and important buildings like the prison and the labs. The third ring is just a big open area between the industrial and residential area from the main fortress which is the forth and center ring. With the current speed we could reach the border line of the forth ring in less then two hours.

Xu: That’s a good overlay of the empire but are we going to counter a resistance or a counter strike if we do destabilize the defense system.

Skise: Good question, the point of destabilize is that it will cost less causality and less ammo to use. The main reason is that we also have to dealt with the massive fleet of the Shadow Empire so we can’t have aerial and ground forces attacking us at the same time.

Xu: I see now.

Skise: Our destination, if we make it though, is that wide open third ring section because it has enough room to land. Once we land I would then volunteer to lead the ground forces through the open area which most of the Shadow Soldiers, Elite Soldiers, and Machine Soldiers.

Barret: That sounds like a good idea. I always wanted to fight those bastards.

Skise: In time my good friend, in time.

Tifa: Would Cloud be there?

Skise: By my calculation, your friend Cloud is already in the forth ring and is heading straight to the central fortress.

Xu: So what’s the formation?

Skise: The whole empire is in a circle and if we focus our attacks on one point while trying to block the other side from coming then we cut right through.

Scene blackens and fades in with the group listening in on Rinoa’s radio.

Skise: Do you guys got all of that?

Zell: Yeah, we are supposed to destabilize the defense ring system but…

Skise: But what?

Rikku: What he is trying to say, is… that… where is it?

Skise: Good point, the only place I might figure out is actually quite near your position if you are by the entrance to the forth ring.

Paine: Yo, Urbine dude!

Urbine: …

Paine: Where is the defense system of the defense ring of the empire?

Urbine: Is your reinforcement trying to destabilize so they won’t have to worry about ground attacks and the aerial attacks?

Yuna: Yes, if you not with the empire can you please tell us where it might be at.

Urbine: Fine… the defense system control building is right there.

Urbine points to a building to the left and to the right of the bridge entrance that reaches above the empire.

Zell: Those are the defense system control buildings.

Urbine: You better hurry if you want your friends to live in the next several minutes.

Xu: Please do it guys so we can take the empire down.

Yuna: Alright, leave it to the Gullwings.

Rikku: About time we get some action

Selphie: Can I be part of the Gullwings.

Yuna: You, Quistis and Rinoa can join us.

Zell: What? What about me?

Selphie: What about you.

The Gullwings with the three other girls run to the left tower as Zell, Irvine, Wakka, Auron, and Vincent heads toward the right.

Zell: I’m leading

Scene blackens and slowly fades in where the labs use to be which is now in ruins with fire blazing. Not to far is another half collapse building with Melicites is unconscious stuck in one side of the walls. Within few moments, she finally opens her eyes seeing the destroyed labs and quickly remembered about Skise.

Melicites: Skise!

She immediately shut her eyes and grabs her chest from the unbelievable pain surging throughout her body. She collapse forward and land face down still in pain as she still crawls to the ruins.

Melicites: Why Skise…we finally meet but why do you have to go like that.

Melicites reaches the labs and spots a cord sparking electricity. She begins crawling towards it and reaches for it as she grabs it and closes her hand tightly. The electricity goes through her whole body making her scream at the top of her lungs. In several minutes her body and energy is fully restored to normal. She stands up with her clothes all torn up looking towards the fortress of the empire.

Melicites: I’m coming for you Skine.

Scene blackens with Melicites running and fades in with Cloud, Squall and Tidus speeding through the bridge with their vehicles.

Cloud: Hey…

Tidus: What do you want?

Cloud: Who is Urbine exactly and why is he helping us?

Squall: I think he is a Cirius spy.

Cloud: A spy huh.

Tidus: Or an undercover agent to gain intelligence on the empire for the resistance.

Within moments a beeping noise on Squall’s car computer system which the computer automatically analyze.

Squall: Hey guys, we have incoming six-o-clock.

Tidus: What are we going to do about it?

Cloud: Try to outrun them.

Tidus: What if they catch up?

Squall: Then we have to take care of them.

The three accelerate faster but several mechs appear with huge gun turrets and several missile pads. Squall looks in his rear-view mirror and sees the machines behind them as one of them fires a missile.

The scene shows Squall barely dodging the explosions on the ground while Cloud and Tidus is in front. They takes out their weapon as they suddenly brake and Squall swiftly pass them as the mechs follow behind. As the two slows down with their swords out the mechs hastily speeds pass them running into the blades and easily getting slice apart.

Scene blackens and then fades in with a machine that covers the whole bridge accelerating the three. The scene then fades in with the driver sitting down in the cockpit with his face shadowed.

Tidus: We got a big one!

Cloud: Damn, it’s too big to get around it.

Scene shows the giant machine speeding up to the three and is ramming Squall’s car. Squall tries to get away but the giant machine is packing too much speed for him.

Squall: Can’t shake him.

Cloud suddenly brakes and turn sharply to the left as the speed and velocity flips him in the air sideways with Squall passing him underneath. Cloud jumps off the motorcycle as it impacts the giant machine causing a huge explosion. Cloud lands on Squall’s car and kneels down with the giant machine exploding behind him.

Cloud: Serves it right.

Tidus decelerate so that he is going the same speed as Squall with Cloud on top of the car.

Cloud: Hey Tidus, can you ride shotgun while I take the motorcycle.

Tidus: Sure, I’m not very use with riding motorcycles anyways.

Tidus goes around as he gets on Squall’s left side and the door opens. At the same time Tidus jumps in the car grabbing onto the roof of the car to slide in while Cloud jumps and accelerates before it lost balance from slowing down.

Cloud: Lets ride

Scene blackens and then fades in with the Gullwings and Zell’s crew reach the top floor where the defense controls are located.

Zell: That was too easy!

Irvine: So how do we suppose to disable the system?

Defense Ring Alarm System: Unauthorized entry! Code Alpha! Code Alpha! Lockdown!

Wakka: Huh?

Zell: What did we do?

Irvine: You probably trip the security alarm while you were goofing off.

Rinoa: Can you hear me on this?

Zell: I can hear you!

Rinoa: You don’t have to shout in it, we are almost next door so the reception is pretty good. I was asking did you also trip the alarm system because everything is going berserk and all the exits are close.

Zell: Same here.

Rinoa: Any ideas what to do?

Vincent: We need to hurry and turn off the defense system.

Zell: Let’s just destroy the place!

Skise: We can’t, the system will go berserk and fire at full power what ever in the sky. We can’t let that happen either even it does fire at both sides we can’t waste any time or damage from the ring.

Zell: Alright, alright but what should we do?

Skise: There might be a manual override button that will shut down the system.

Rikku: Is that it.

Defense Ring Alarm System: Unauthorized access! Code Delta! Code Delta! Sealed Area!

Zell: Huh?

Skise: I guess the buttons have to be press at the same time.

Selphie: The air is being sealed we are losing oxygen.

Wakka: Do something you guys

Skise: Press the buttons again at the same time.

Irvine & Selphie: One…

Wakka & Rikku: Two…

Zell & Rinoa: Three!

Zell and Rinoa press it at the same time.

Defense Ring Alarm System: Unauthorized shutdown! Code Omega! Code Omega! Terminate intruders!

Auron: …

Zell: Now what?

Rikku: Make the alarms stop!

Skise: Hmm…

The ceiling begins open as an aerial guard machine hovers down with huge amounts of firepower.

Zell: What?

Quisits: It’s a security robot we must defeat it to complete the shutdown.

Yuna: Gullwings! Go!

Zell: Guys… Go!

Scene splits in two with both groups fighting the aerial machine which at the end defeated it.

Scene blackens and fades in with the fleet of all worlds heading towards the Shadow Empire. Scene switch to the defense ring as the turrets turns on and aim at the fleet as it charges up. Right before it fires the defense ring lost power immediately. Scene switches to Melicites as everything powers down where she is at and she looks around.

Scene blackens and fade in inside the Highwind.

Tifa: They did it!

Cid: Of course…

Xu: We must proceed with the plan.

Skise: The only thing that is in our way is the Shadow Fleet.

Barret: Let’s defeat those bastards!

Cid: [On radio to all ships] I may not be your leader, king, or something like that but you can consider me as a loyal soldier or a temporary leader. We are going to an empire that shows no regrets or mercy and will kill anything that goes against them even if some of their own people got in the way. Most of you are fresh from training and I bid you well and good luck. This is war that we are waging is not about who is the best or the strongest but where we came from. We all come from different worlds but we have something in common… we share the same planet. If we don’t defeat this empire then the whole world is going to be destroyed and we can’t let that happen. This war is for survival of human beings everywhere and we should fight full of heart and determination to protect your loves one at home. Now who is with me to the very end!

There are loud applauses, whistles, claps, and cheers on the Highwind intercom that echoes throughout the whole ship.

Skise: You sure give out a motivation speech.

Cid: It was nothing.

Skise: Now, let’s do this.

Cid: [On radio to all ships] With that said and I hope it made all of your fear gone and gain courage to stay alive. Let me say this loud and proud, lets kick these bastards’ ass and go back home.

Skise: …

Tifa: Yeah!

Barret: This going to be one hell of a ride.

Scene blackens and fade in with the hundred ships fleet passing over the defense ring and seeing the thousand of electrical towers. Coming from the second ring is the Shadow Empire’s fleet rising to the skies and heading towards the intruders. Scene blacken and fade in outside from on top of the fortress seeing dots in the air. Skine, Dieren, Yulin, and Urbine appear with Lakeyna behind them.

Urbine: It’s about to start…

Dieren: Shut up you damn traitor!

Skine: You got it wrong Dieren… everything is going as plan according to the master.

Dieren: So the master planed that they will shut down the defense ring system?

Skine: Yes… Urbine is just following orders just like you, Yulin and Lakeyna.

Yulin: Look… the three is almost here…

Urbine: Took them long enough.

Dieren: I guess they defeated the Bridge Roller.

Skine: Of course… the master did pick them.

Dieren: I still don’t know why we are letting these weaklings in the empire and cause so much damage.

Skine: Because in several hours this planet will be destroyed and we will be safe in my escape ship.

Urbine: …it’s happening.

Scene moves toward the northern direction showing small explosions in the air as the Shadow Empire’s fleet and the 3 worlds fleet battling it out in the sky. Some ships got severe damage and crash land in the empire and the ones who survived begins fighting on the ground.

Scene switches to the Highwind which is swiftly passing the battle dodging fire and ships while trying to get to the open third ring. Several ships follow close behind attacking the empire’s ships to defend the Highwind.

Scene blackens and fade in inside the Highwind with Cid is piloting the ship himself with everyone else holding on.

Cid: Hold on! This ride is going to get rough!

Skise: Isn’t it already rough!

Cid: !

Scene blackens and hastily fades in showing several ships blocking the Highwind path as it fires several plasma missiles.

Cid: We going through!

Skise: !?

Tifa: !?

Barret: !?

Scene shows the Highwind open up several missiles launch bay and fire a volley of cruise missiles toward the ships. The missiles’ impacts the empire’s ships and they all explodes as Cid pilots the Highwind through the explosion.

Barret: Shit!

Skise: Now you just showing off.

Scene shows inside the Highwind with powerful turbulences as they exit the fiery death trap and heads toward the third ring of the empire. Scene blackens and fade inside the Highwind in the bridge with everyone holding onto something. Suddenly a familiar four-legged creature steps into the bridge from the entrance.

Skise: !

Barret: You finally awake, Nanakai.

Scene blackens and fade in with the Highwind finally reaching the third ring open space and lands near the entrance. Cid, Barret, Tifa, Nanaki, Skise and an army of crew members charging out of the ship as suddenly the whole area is filled with Shadow Soldiers.

Scene zooms out with more ships from the three worlds landing in the open area and also charging in the battlefield. With over several hundred thousand people fighting with so much chaos and death that it could last forever.
