Off the west coast of the Forgotten Continent, the airship soared, with nothing in sight but the endless blue ocean. On and on the water stretched, with no sign of land, not even the tiniest island with a single palm tree. Yet onward they flew until at last there was a rock. A sharp, jagged spike of dark rock jutting up from the ocean floor, surrounded by a swirling whirlpool of water. At the base of the rock was a cave opening, just tall enough for an average man to walk through.

This was the site. "We're here!" One of the knights called to the valiant heroes about to face off the Guardian of the Water Seal. "Give 'em hell, eh? Ah, my apologies, Lady Eiko." He'd clean forgotten the child was present with this party. The airship descended, touching down on the only bare and dry patch of land available. Not much bigger than a postage stamp in the pilot's opinion.

From here, the party exited the ship with well wishes from the knights who took the airship back into the skies to wait. What lay before was the damp aperture of the cave. The approach was mossy and stony, and yet tendrils of ivy curled at the edges, and delicate bursts of colors from flowers. A wall of water swirled around the site, and could easily submerge the cavern entirely, should the gravity pull of the whirlpool ever stop.

Edge couldn't believe this creature had knocked him over. As he stood he watched Tidus freeze in place. That may have been enough to spur him on to further drive but seeing Rydia knocked him over really ticked him off. He called out to as he felt the anger well up from within himself. Channeling his anger, he launched his Blitz attack lightning filling the creature.

"Don't you ever touch my girlfriend!"

Awww.

Eiko's Curaga helped a great deal and she was able to nod to Eiko without feeling as though her answer was a lie. "I'll manage. Thanks." There was no time for more talking, as Tidus was Freezed before her eyes and then...Edge went berserk.

Well. It was nice to see the ninja's protectiveness being channeled to productive ends. Rydia watched Edge's very effective Blitz attack take place with some pride, but Tidus needed help and she couldn't ignore that. Quickly, she cast a low-level Fire spell at him, hoping that would snap him out of it.

Thankfully Rydia was the smarter of the two of them. The Fire spell worked like a charm; Tidus remained frozen one moment more, then the ice cracked and shattered around him, dissolving instantly and freeing him from his prison. Momentarily disoriented, Tidus stumbled, shook his head quickly, then picked himself up and charged straight at the thing.

"Let's finish it!" he yelled, jumping to kick off the balustrade of the shrine's walkway and plow straight into the Kraken with all the force of his body behind his sword.

Edge couldn't agree with Tidus more following closely behind plunging both his katanas in as well. "He can't have that much fight left within him."

A quick glance towards the summoners was all the attention Edge could spare them before readying himself for any possible retaliation from Kraken.
