This is it, Ramuh thought, their entire journey has led to this final push. Zidane, lead them to victory.

The Lightning Warlock watched on with the other Eidolons from their ethereal plane as the misfit band of heroes battled the eternal enemy of life, Necron. A long time ago, Necron was sealed away by the fabled Warriors of Light, doomed to dwell in it's own personal "Zero world". However, back then it was simply called Chaos. Throughout the millennium, Chaos reincarnated itself time and time again with a new name and image, sometimes even planting it's own twisted thoughts into the minds of others when reincarnation wasn't possible. It was a depressing thought for the Eidolons, knowing that this horrible hybrid of wrath and destruction would exist as long as life existed.

Chaos, or whatever it's new incarnation called itself, can never truly be defeated, only banished. Banished to the deepest, darkest part of the void where it would wait and feed off the evil emotions and sins of humans. Greed, Lust, Wrath, Envy, and everything else associated with them gave energy to Chaos, until it had enough to be reborn anew. Just like how the Eidolons will forever be linked to creation, Chaos will forever be linked to destruction.

Now as the fate of all life was once again being decided in battle, Ramuh and the others watched, hopeful that these unlikely heroes would come out victorious. Both sides looked to be close to their limits. Zidane and Vivi were the only two left that had any energy to stand though Vivi had to lean against his staff, while Necron seemed to be casting it's spells at a slower rate.

Zidane and Vivi looked back to their friends, seeing that Garnet, Quina, Freya, Steiner, Eiko, and Amarant were either knocked out or too exhausted to even move. Faced with a do or die situation, Zidane and Vivi looked at each other and gave a nod. With all the strength he could muster, Zidane threw the legendary Ultima Weapon like a javelin at the face of Necron. One half of the twinblade sunk into the pale face of the harbinger of destruction, but before it could reel back in pain, Vivi followed it up with the strongest Flare spell that he could possibly manage. But it wasn't directed at Necron, it was directed at the weapon, specifically at the blade that was inside the head. The result of the spell caused both the weapon and Necron's head to explode into tiny particles. Necron remained motionless for what felt like ages as Zidane and Vivi looked on, heaving each labored breath and ready to pass out at any moment.

Suddenly, and without sound, Necron exploded in a blinding white light, it's fragments quickly disappearing into the ether. The force of the blast launching the the two friends back several feet onto their backs and into darkness.

Ramuh smiled as the final blow was dealt. It would easily take thousands of years before Necron could be reincarnated again. Although the respite would only be temporary, it would still be welcomed. The Lightning Warlock did a quick scan of life to make sure that the Champions of Light were alright, he smile quickly shifted into a worried frown. There was only seven signs of life in his scan!

Giving each of them an individual scan, Ramuh realized that Vivi had no life left in his core, the poor little guy gave everything he had left to finish that fight.

"NO!" Ramuh boomed at seeing the shy, yet well-manned and unique golem lifeless.

"What's wrong old one?" Asked the chirpy voice Carbuncle, the magical protector of the Lifa Tree. Without a reply, Ramuh began muttering a spell of some kind under his breath that Carbuncle was unable to hear. The animal-like Eidolon stood next to Ramuh as Vivi's spirit essence was drawn from his body.

"WHAT DO YOU CALL YOURSELF DOING RAMUH?" Carbuncle screamed.

"I'm giving this young one a second chance at life," Ramuh replied back somewhat calmly, "He fought until the very end for a world that will never completely accept him. I'll accept whatever consequences that come but I will not allow this bright, innocent light to be snuffed out so soon."

As Ramuh finished speaking, the soul of Vivi vanished in an orange and white light. The Lightning Warlock breathed a sigh of relief before turning to Carbuncle.

"Follow him to wherever he goes, keep him company and try to make sure that he stays out of any extreme danger."

"Why did you do that, you know interference of life and death is forbidden." Carbuncle asked, stunned by Ramuh's action.

"Honestly, I really don't know. Maybe it was that he reminded me of a grandson that I had long ago," The Lightning Warlock replied with a smile, silence hung for a couple of seconds before he looked down to the light green creature, "Now please, follow him. Keep him safe in his new existence."

Carbuncle hesitated for a few seconds before giving a firm nod. A light began to build inside the ruby on Carbuncle's forehead before enveloping it in a red flash. When the light faded, Carbuncle was gone. Ramuh smiled fondly before looking back at the remainder of Vivi's group and seeing them being teleported by Kuja.

"Live on young one, may you find a new light to fight for."

"What am I feeling right now?" Vivi thought, His conscious mind trying to process any information from feeling and hearing since he was too tired to open his eyes. He knew that he lying down on something rather soft while propped up against something hard. By moving his foot just slightly, Vivi heard the recognizable sound of grass being shifted. The hard feeling on his back didn't quite have the same feeling of metal or stone. Also, based on the pressure of his back to said object, it felt circular. It was a tree, he was on the ground resting up against a tree.

"Am I in a forest?" Vivi thought to himself. Finally having the energy to open his eyes, Vivi proved himself right as he saw a blurry forest surrounding him. Blinking the sleep from his eyes, Vivi got a better look of the immediate landscape. Tall, thick trees that stretched upwards of about twenty feet and full of green leafs at the tops decorated each direction he looked. The grass was as green and lush as the tree tops. Beams of sunlight shot through the canopy giving plenty of visibility. It all looked beautiful, like whatever gods that made this really took their time in doing so.

To his right, Vivi noticed something that looked like it didn't belong in this forest. A few feet away, a long, white mace rested on the ground, with a simple and smooth body and four 'S'-like pieces pointing in each direction. Vivi recognized it as his Mace of Zeus, although to him is was more of a staff then a mace since it was almost as tall as he was.

Gathering his strength, the young wizard got to his feet and walked over to the powerful weapon. The top heavy weight of the mace allowed Vivi the option of melee attacks, even if he hurled his entire body into the attack. Now with his prized staff in hand, Vivi decided that the next best option would be to look for any signs of life. Since each direction he faced looked the same, Vivi chose a direction at random and began to walk. He took a total of nine steps before a red flash of light appeared a few feet in front of him. Vivi would have pondered what the light was if a smallish green creature didn't shoot out of the light at an alarming speed. The impact that followed knocked Vivi onto his back and knocked out.

"Ow, that really wasn't my best idea." Carbuncle said as it shook it's out of dizziness. It looked around the beautiful forest before noticing the young wizard out cold on the ground. "Oh dear," Carbuncle said, "this isn't a good start. Ramuh, I hope you made the right choice in sending me to keep watch."

Notice anything different? Hopefully this turns out to be even better then my last attempt at writing. If anyone has any thoughts or comments about the story, leave a review, I would like to talk a little bit to the people that read my stuff.

Oh, and if anyone plans to comment about the length of the chapter, I ask that you please don't. Another reason that I lost motivation last time is because I kept setting stupid word lengths for each to help prevent that, I'm just going to work on each chapter until I feel like it's done, regardless of word count.

Anyways, thanks for reading and have a good one everybody.
