Lamont stirred from his slumber, curled up happily between Judgement's legs... The pair of Chocobos they had taken up, lounging on for the night also followed suit...

As Lamont opened his eyes, he remembered he had left the fire going, and forgot to eat dinner...

"Aww... Feck..." he said with a fairly annoyed look on his face, pursing his lips to the side.

"What?" Judgement asked, powering up her artificial eye, but leaving her authentic one closed...

Lamont, still as bare as the day he was born crawled over to the burnt out fire and prodded the Valron meat, burnt to a cinder. "We forgot dinner..." he sadly looked back to her...

Judgement opened her real eye and sat up, while the pair of Chocobos began preening each other.

"No matter, the sun is rising; we will find something to eat at Nebelheim."

Lamont sighed "Alright..." he groaned, looking over to the decapitated Valron.

Judgement stood up, her naked form near invisible in the darkness of the cave... All but her glowing eyes were unseen... Suddenly she lost her balance, her lower stomach was slightly larger, almost unnoticeably so. "Oh my..." she said, holding on to the wall... "I feel..." she said, suddenly running out of the cave before heaving her guts out...

Lamont looked mortified, but thankfully it was out of view... He stood, finding his clothes and getting dressed hastily, in case he needed to help Judgement... Before he could finish however, Judgement drudged back in, wiping her mouth with her robotic hand. "Not hungry..." she said, her eye giving way to a rather depressed look.

"Are you right to travel?" Lamont queried whole heartedly.

"I'm fine. Just... not hungry" she said before bending down to grab her garb.

Lamont blushed as Judgement leaned down, getting a generous, unbridled view of the pinkening of her sex.

"Rrr... Right..." he stuttered out, slightly distracted.

"Don't act like you've not seen it before," Judgement spoke without looking at him as she stood up straight, beginning to re-robe herself.

"Yeah... Hah, sure..." he blushed, looking away and moving over to ready the birds for the short trip into town, then gently leading them outside for a quick graze before they left.

Judgement exited the depression in the mountain... Standing in the archway with her hat in her hand, the winds trickled through her hair... She closed her eye and took a deep breath...

Lamont looked up to her from where he was, giving a solemn grin as he noticed that she was practically glowing... an oxymoron considering she was a Black Mage, glowing even despite her morning sickness.

"You look amazing..." Lamont stated, rather smitten at the moment.

Judgement opened her eyes, giving a few oddly confused blinks before she returned with, "Thank you, you look..." she paused... wanting to return the favour, but taking it rather literal she said, "Furry."

Lamont flat browed, but didn't say anything because he knew she was genuinely trying with her prior comment.

"Thanks..." he stated before fluttering onto his mount.

"You're welcome..." she returned, walking over to the Chocobo, who was a little more warmer towards her today then he was when they first met. She quickly mounted the Chocobo and began riding toward the town, which was in relative view from where they were, however as they got closer, they noticed the town was in a shambles...

"Something's wrong..." Judgement stated as she picked up her pace...

"What...? Whoa!!" he cried, as his mount suddenly took off behind Judgement's.

A few seconds passed, and the pair finally walked through what was the entrance to the destroyed town.

Lamont and Judgement looked around; Judgements facial expression was that of anger, while Lamont's was of awe, estranged to the damage.

Finally Lamont noticed someone... "Oh hey...!" he said, fluttering off of his mount and onto the ground.

The person looked up, replacing bricks on the destroyed item shop. It was an arctic fox, with fairly large ears and a pair of horns Lamont had only noticed now. He wore a characteristic pink ribbon on his tail, and looked fairly girly and meek.

"Hel- Lamont?" he blurted out, turning to face him, it seemed the residents of Junon that Lamont and Judge had come to know were scattered around, and by what seemed too odd to be a coincidence.

"Therin!?" he queried oddly... "What are you doin' here?"

"We were flown in by Toshi yesterday, something attacked the town a few days ago, like, they marched through here and just ruined everything"

"What were they?" Lamont persisted, "And 'we'?"

"Lamont!?" another familiar voice purred out.

"Oh, Teshak... I shoulda guessed..." Lamont stated as the white bunnox came into view, dropping the wood that was to replace the broken water tower.

At this point, Judge was getting fairly annoyed; she just sort of grinned and beared the waste of time that the formalities caused... without grinning, however.

"Is that Loco Weed I smell on you?" Lamont said, grinning slightly as he tilted his head downward, looking up at Tesh.

"When is it not?" he replied, shrugging.

"We came here after we received a distress call from Charlie," Therin cut in, shaking his head at Tesh before he had his hand grasped, and cheek licked by the bunnox, making him blush oddly.

"Charlie?" Lamont queried.

"Charlie!" Judgement dismounted her Chocobo, sounding fairly concerned.

"He's ... not looking too..." Tesh started as she looked to judgement

"Where!?" she growled out, cutting him off, however still sounding concerned...

Therin pointed off to a small tent outside the mansion, which was surprisingly intact and untouched compared to the rest of the buildings.

Judgement rushed over to the tent and moved inside, leaving Lamont to be formal with his friends.

She was unprepared to see the old man in such a state...

Missing his left arm, left eye, most of the left side of his torso, and his left leg...

He was wrapped up in bandages, most of them bloody, except his missing left ear, but looked like it had been torn off in a prior battle as it was already healed.

"Charlie..." she stated to the old orange fox... "What happened... to you..." she said, looking genuinely empathetic... she knelt down beside him, despite the damage he had undergone, he was alive, on a breathing apparatus connected to a stoma in his throat.

"Judgement..." he wheezed out, opening his eye and slowly looking up at the Mage... She removed her hat and placed it nearby...

"I tried Judgement... I tried my hardest... I came here in solitude to work on my droids for a few months... I never expected an attack, not on such a large scale... They came in droves, walked in line like humans going to war... But they weren't human... I've never seen these monsters before, Judgement." He coughed and spluttered at that moment... sighing and returning to his speech...

"In all my fifty years alive, I've never seen anything like what these things were... And I have travelled the world, seen some odd creatures... But these things... things you couldn't ever imagine... Things... you can't even see..." he paused as a gentle tear trickled down his face, he was truly mortified, recollecting the events...

"I fought like I never had before... All my droids, torn asunder... Their bullets, their blades... Did nothing to these things... I couldn't hold them off... The townsfolk escaped thankfully, or at least that's what I was told..."

He paused and looked at her, lifting his remaining arm slowly to pet at her cheek... "How is that eye I installed, my dear?"

"Functional," she stated simply...

"Good... good..." he wheezed out... "Before you go, could you be a dear and cast a sleep spell on me...? The pain is... Unbearable..."

Judgement didn't speak as she rose to her feet, simply glowing green and holding her hand out... And in a puff of what appeared to be steam, Charlie was out like a light.

She turned and left, finding Lamont, Therin and Teshak all laughing and carrying on as if they weren't standing in a ruined town...

She cared not. "Lamont, are you coming?" she asked nonchalantly...

"Huh!?" His ear's pricked up, turning to face Judgement. "Oh yeah sure... heh, see ya later guys... And tell Hildegarde that she's a bitch..."

Therin sweat-dropped at that, before Tesh said, "Will do," and gave him a thumbs up... Then Lamont ran off towards Judge, following her as she turned to walk passed the mansion and down the path toward the reactor.

The path was surprisingly, almost completely void of life... No local monsters, no foreign ones either... No footprints... nothing...

"Kinda spooky huh...?" Lamont stated as he looked around, a mild fog seeming to enclose the area..

"No..." Judgement stated without emotion.

Lamont flat browed as he looked up to her... then quickly returned his senses to the area, as not to be caught off guard.

A good fifteen minutes of walking was eaten up in silence, before Judgement took an unmarked turn down a clearing which didn't look like a path...

"Are you sure you know where you're going?" he asked, sounding fairly concerned... He fidgeted with his fingers shyly, Obviously quite put off by the surroundings...

"Yes... Cronus' tomb should be here..." she said, turning around another bend and entering a dark archway...

Closing her eyes and glowing green, she placed her hand on the wall... A line of light trickled in a depression in the wall inside some transparent tubing, the tubing carried her light spell down the cave, lighting it up for a while...

"Come..." she said to Lamont, who was quite awestruck by the display... "Cool..." he said as he smiled, suddenly not feeling so scared.

Down the end of the lit hallway was an eerily familiar Hexagonal room... In the middle stood a life-size statue of a Black mage, but something was different about it... something wasn't quite right about the statue... It was a black mage, but looked different from the others... facial features that looked all too human.

"Blackie!" the pair chimed out in unison.

"Oh I was so hoping you would get my message dear sister..." a demonic yet charming voice echoed from behind them...

They turned... and Lamont drew his shuriken... Both of them bared their teeth and put on a defensive pose, readying themselves for battle.

"What do you think of the town?" he queried, beginning to orbit the pair from a good 10 feet away.

"You're a monster," Judgement snarled out

"I'm not the monster here, you are..." he paused... "You and those filthy ascended mages, taking all the power and glory for yourselves..."

"Glory is given to the deserving and power to the responsible... You are neither and soon you will rot in a Mako reactor..."

"Is that so?" he laughed, placing his head in his hand as he found that idea rather comical. "And I suppose you're going to make me, then?... I find that incredibly amusing as you barely escaped with your lives fighting naught but a clone..."

"Enough!" Lamont shouted, hurling his shuriken toward Blackie... Who drew a dark sword and deflected the shot. It chimed a foul sound before the shuriken hurtled through the air and back to Lamont...

Catching it with a Cheshire grin, the Black mage replied, "You'll pay for your sin..."

And with that Blackie rushed the pair, only to be met with a shot of ice, launched from a quick hand of Judge's.

Blackie stamped the ground, a wall of stone rising from near his foot to catch the ice... only to be shot forward by an impressive kick laced with another jolt of earth magic.

Cascading ever quickly across the room, barrelling toward Judge, Lamont shot out of nowhere and leapt off of the girl, sending her out of harm's way and rolling on the floor.

Lamont barely missed getting hit himself, having to lay out horizontally in the air as it scraped the skin on his rump, he hissed out, annoyed, as he split his shuriken, throwing one and keeping the other in his left hand...

Blackie's eyes widened as he sidestepped, just missing being impaled as he grabbed the shuriken from the air.

Judgement had by now finished charging her Haste spell, releasing it on Lamont as she used the momentum from her roll to rise quickly to her feet.

Blackie launched the shuriken he had caught, once again at Judgement, Lamont was still busy returning to the floor as the spell engulfed his body... So he had no choice but to fire his last remaining shuriken to intercept the one fired by Blackie. Landing on the floor and bounding toward Blackie at an accelerated rate with a Kunai from his shirt, delving it under Blackie's ribcage and into his heart...

Lamont bounced off of him, tangent to both of the other occupants in the room... "Ha-ha!" Lamont stated, fist pumping..

Blackie looked down to the knife buried in his vitals "Ahh..." he coughed once, staggering forward.

Judgement blinked, keeping a defensive stance.

Suddenly Blackie burst out laughing, "I hope...Unf" he said as he pulled the blade from his chest, not even bleeding... "That's not all you've got..." he said, raising the blade toward Judgement, mouthing another spell as a Ring of Runes appeared circling him.

"Scathe..." Judgement whispered out... "LAMONT, GO!!"

"I'm not leaving you!" Lamont turned to Judgement.

"NOW!"

"NO!"

Blackie cut in with "It's too late, Judgement," before a powerful beam of light cascaded from his hand.

Lamont leapt in front of the beam to no avail, he was merely engulfed by it.

Judgement cried "NO!!" as she watched, mere seconds before she too was engulfed...

And then it was all quiet...

Lamont lay on the floor next to Judge, his clothes disintegrated as was most of his fur... covered in blood...

Judgement lay next to him, suffering the same fate...

Lamont stirred from his temporary loss of consciousness, Blackie's menacing footsteps slowly echoing louder and louder... inching meaningfully toward the fallen pair...

"My my... you two really are something, to have anything left after that is quite a feat in itself... I must applaud you..." he said, coming to a halt in front of the pair...

Lamont looked up to Judge, both of them beyond any real movement... he held out his hand to her...

Judge looked down to Lamont... at which she was met with a heartfelt smile...

"It's alright..." he groaned in pain... "We'll go together..."

Judgement nodded, a solemn tear trickled from her eye...

Their sight became dull and blurry as they looked back up to Blackie...

"How beautiful..." Blackie started, "reminds me of my parent's when they were sent back to the life stream... And your half breed children Judge... that I have been watching all this time... They shall be my most powerful soldiers..."

Lamont sneered, but could do nothing... he could barely see... Blackie raised his hand to them again, that familiar glow from the runes floating around Blackie returned...

However behind him, there appeared an angelic light, blue, and in the shape of their dear Luna with red wings, descended from the sky...

"When you get there... Say hello to them if they haven't been sucked up by Shinra yet..."

And then there was a deafening quiet, and a blinding light.
