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.

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.
