{Final Fantasy XIII: Defiers of Fate}

The earth rumbled in the inner sanctum. Shockwaves were sent across the battlefield scattering many players. A roar was heard from the Taurus King, Asterius. The boss had only one HP bar left and was going on an all-out rampage, swinging his mace in every direction, leaving no openings.

Of course, Lumino; Tsukino and Kizuna were part of the fight. Kizuna stayed back helping other mages attack the boss and occasionally sending out healing cards.

Lumino and Tsukino both attacking the boss at close range, or at least they were. Tsukino kept shooting the boss looking for a weak point. And at times, Lumino would parry the boss giving time to dodge. Other bow users and gun users would help Tsukino.

One of the bullets hit the boss' crown causing it to stumble. It took about three crown hit to notice it. "Kizuna! The crown!" Lumino yelled. Kizuna nodded as cards circled him charging an attack. The boss slammed it's mace down causing another quake.

The small rocks that flew up were then thrown towards the players like bullets as the boss swung his mace creating a cyclone. All the mages raised up wall except for one who was healing the others. Kizuna saw this, stopping his attack, running to the mage, and casting a wall. "You okay?" he asked.

"Y-yes, thank you," the female replied. Kizuna decided to charge up the attack. He felt a bit lighter but decided to ignore it. Four cards appeared above him with a crimson glow to each one. "GO!" Kizuna called as each card flew to the Taurus using [Giga Burst].

The attack caused a huge amount of damage while also casting an [Aerora] in each one. Asterius was brought to his knees at the attack. Each of the players attacked the boss at once until he finally shattered.

[Congratulations]

Everyone cheered at their feat. They were one step closer to their freedom. "Alright! Let's go to the new floor!" Lumino said running ahead.

"Wait up!" Tsukino yelled running to follow him. Kizuna just sighed as he chased his party members.

Lumino inhaled deeply and exhaled the air of the nature covered floor. Literally the entire floor was covered in trees. This floor was an area of wonders and danger alike. "Alright then, let's go open that gate," Lumino said.

"It kind of feels like a job," Tsukino commented. The three began their trek through the woods. Something came across Lumino's head that made him turn to the card user and ask, "Kizuna, how did you do that earlier?"
