The group walked silently down famililar lands. Vincent had noticed though, that at some points the land seemed strange. As if it didnt fit in. Kyle answered the silent question as if he could read Vincents mind, " Even though Alkantra split the world, there are still some gaps in which the worlds co-exist." It seemed like years before they reached a giant castle.
" woah......" Jam mumbled. They found they could get in very easily.
" That was too easy." Tifa said looking around.
" yeah way to easy." Zell added in.
Relm quickly swirled around. " What was that?" She said sounding slightly worried.
" Ok, I say we split into two groups, one stands guard here, the other continues up," Locke said sitting in the corner.
" Good idea Kupo!" Mog replied also sitting down.
" Well I guess Locke, Relm, Mog , Gogo, Zell and Selphie stay here. Me, Cait Sith, Tifa, Echo and Kyle head upstairs," Vincent said opening a large metal door.
" what about me?" Jam asked. Vincent looked at him and beckoned for him to follow.
" huh?!?!" Kyle said looking around. The stood in the middle of what seemed to be space. Stars and planets in the distance, and blackness all around. Vincent turned but the stairs were gone.
" Shit!" Vincent said. A laugh came echoing from all around.
" hahahaha, Alkantra's plan work. Now Gragle will kill. A familiar voice gurgled.
" Who was that. Where are......." Cait Sith started, but was cut off by an axe slicing through his chest. " aaaacckkkk......." Cait Sith fell and tumbled through space downwards.
" Die!!" Gragle screeched swinging at Vincent. Kyle grabbed at the axe, but fell backwards, as if a pair of hands pushed him back. Jam and Tifa both punched at the same time, but something caused them to swerve hitting each other. " hahaha Gragle is protected! You arnet fast enough to get past Alkantra!.
" Well then, lets see her save you from this!" Vincent yelled. He pulled his gun out firing twice. The first bullet was thrown away, but the second one hit the beast straight through the head.
" Gragle...fail?... Bu...but how?." The creature melted into a puddle of goo, soaking into the floor. The room turned into a blur, and became a kind of machine room. In one corner, the puddle of goo, in another... Cait Sith.
" Welcome" Alkantra said.
" You will pay for Cait Sith!" Vincent yelled as he and Kyle ran at Alkantra.
" Odrasil" Alkantra said. Both Vincent and Kyle froze in place. " You bore me" Alkantra said as Tifa and Echo froze.
" NOOOOO!!" Jam screamed as he rushed straight for her. Alkantra simply said " Gravolt!" A strange bolt of electricity crashed down from above. Its energy freed the others from the freeze spell, but its second bolt came straight down on Jam. Jam stood there for a second, his face frozen in disbelief, then he collapsed to the ground dead.
" DIE!" Kyle yelled throwing himself into the alter sending the crystal flying.
Vincent was about to shoot it when Alkantra yelled " stop!" Kyle looked at Alkantra then at Vincent.
" So I guess you don't want me to shoot this......" Vincent reloaded his gun.
" Damn you warriors, this isnt over yet! Kablan!" Alkantra screamed and disapperaed in a burst of light along with the crystal.
Echo stood up, her eyes red from crying, she looked down at Jam's body and said " Well that went well......."
