Magic-2

Prologue

Oh, Goddess Etro, shed me your light. Allow me to be your sword and shield. To end the chaos once and for all

Jack exitted the temple of Etro, and with a focused stare on his face. Wearing Etro's celestial armor, which is a feathered steel guard on his chest and legs. The blade he wields, LionHeart. The hilt as as a shield. The other part a gunblade. Leaving Noel behind, in the temple, he left.

Jack looked across New Cocoon, as the towns were being ripped apart. Feral creatures, the failed science. Organized soldiers, the trained military. Everything was falling apart, with flying colors. Jack was here to do one thing. Destroy the bringer of destruction, Caius. "Noel!" Jack called. The friend and ally appeared, his hair shining in the sky. "What?" he asked. "Go to the historia crux. Find Skye. Have her end this." Jack told him. "Historia!? The time control between universes?", Noel quizzed him. "Yes." Jack told him. Noel looked at the ground as Jack grabbed him by the shoulders, and looked him in the eyes. "Go in there, save the world. Build the new world." Jack ordered, and with that, Noel jumped in, to retrieve Skye.

Jack turned to face the chaos once more. Creatures screeching, colors flying. Lots of the bahamut's, and other eidolons. Jack grabbed near his chest, where his mark was, as a purple, crystal rose formed in his hand. He threw it in the air and jumped off the roof. The threw his sword at the stone. "ODIN!" He called. The thunderous hooves of Odin filled the city, as jack jumped on his back.

He was charging near the coast of Bodhum, the seaside city. Wielding his blade he threw it into gun form. He was shooting a Bahamut, one charged from science. After he took that down, he jumped from the back of Odin, into the sea.

"Well, well. He prevails, the warrior of light." Caius says, looking into Jack's eyes. "Same for you, Caius." Jack told him. Jack looked around and saw the destroyer himself. "Listen, we can not fight and just let this happen, or we could end this." Caius told him. With those words, he drew his sword and lifted it. Jack retrieved the lightweight blade from the sheathe it was in and held it against Caius. Caius charged forward, as did Jack, the blades clashed against each other, causing sparks. Jack lunged forward, throwing Caius back. Caius on his back jumped up into the air and clouds. Jack went after him, and slashed a couple more times, each deflected. Caius fell to the ground as Jack charged for him, from the sky. The blades almost touched, milliseconds away.
