There was no time to prepare for an onslaught like this. Never enough time to prepare for another one of Gaia's challenges. Marquis Ondore had hoped that the Enkidu would be combat ready before Lufene strikes, but it seems that luck has turned against the weary marquis yet again. Quite agitated with this current state of affairs, Marquis Ondore had to wonder why on earth Lindblum has failed to act in unison with the alliance. Alexandria has lent their aid to Troia, causing their forces dwindle significantly during the onslaught. There was no way that Alexandria could lend their aid to Wutai, therefore the Marquis had to intervene directly.

Roughly sending about three thousand troops to assist Wutai's forces along with his aerial fleet of two thousand or less ships, Ondore couldn't help but wonder if this was a losing battle. He arrived in Wutai on edge, watching as the country began to crumble beneath the behemoth's feet. Jenova loomed within the distance while numerous fiends lined the streets. Attempting to find Princess Kisaragi during this chaos, Marquis Ondore moved carefully with his trusted bodyguards by his side.
