Tasteless Revenge
Chapter 11
By Kefka (Dan Vincent (onewinged@yahoo.com))


 The group stared in horror as a transformation happened. Kefka was laughing now. Lights fired, and the land around the tower began to break up. Jets of gas began shooting from the ground, and the tower began to change. The top broke off, and mountains spurted from the ground.

 "I will create a monument to non-existence! I will destroy all! Like before! Mwha ha ha!!" Kefka was above the group, lightning bolts
coming from the clouds around him.

 "Come on, Nate! You can join me! (Yep, a bit stolen from Star Wars) I made you who you are!" Kefka beckoned to Nate.

 "Nate! Don't listen to him!" Ramza shouted, but to no apparent avail. Something or someone made Nate go with Kefka.

 "Nn...ooo...ooo!" Nate yelled. He attempted to withdraw, but to no apparent effect did he.

 "Yes, yes, YES!!!" Kefka hooted. "Now I can completely take over the world with my slave at my side! Slave! Incinerate that town!" The others could visibly see Nate resisting, but his index finger pointed and rose up under incredible stress.

 "NO!" Ramza shouted and jumped on Nate. "Stop it, Nate! I won't let you do this! Please!" Ramza was on the verge of tears.

 "Oh ho! Little girl wants her friend, eh? Then, I'll.. Mwha ha ha!" Kefka ran over to the Captain's chair and sat down. The newly installed moving and swiveling arm rose the chair over the group. Kefka pressed a few buttons, and a small canon rose from a compartment on the ground. The canon turned over, and shot at Nate and Ramza.

 "No!" Tifa shouted, and Ramza and Nate disappeared. She jumped and landed on the chair.

 "Ramza!!" Elena shouted. She began to get up to the chair, and took out her pistol. Tifa began punching Kefka, and Elena began
shooting him.

 "Arrgh! Get off of me!" Tifa and Elena kept doing their thing.

 "You... don't... give... us... our... kids... back... you... will... die..." They managed to say between breaths, punches, and
shots. The pure rage of the loss of their children drove them over the edge.


 "Ooh... where am I? Nate? Nate? Whoa! My voice!" Ramza got up immediately and found next to her...herself. "That's me! But if that's me, I must be..." She looked down, and saw not her trim figure, but a muscle bound man in a soldier uniform, and looking up resulted in seeing spikes of black hair.

 "...NATE!!!" Ramza went searching for the mirror she kept in her normal body's back pocket. She took the mirror and looked in it. In the reflection she saw Nate's face. Ramza turned and attempted to wake Nate up.

 "Nate! Nate!" Ramza moved Nate around and he began to stir.

 "What... is it? Whoa! My voice! Something is wrong here!" He looked and saw himself across from him. He looked down and up. "This is NOT right." Nate's eyes were as wide as dinner plates.

 "I'm you, and you're me. We'll just have to deal with it right now." Ramza told Nate. She turned around and began to survey the area. It had blue sky and green grass, and a large bubble window arbitrarily in the middle.

 "Hey, this scenery is fake!" Nate said, as he felt the grass and saw the cement wall around the bubble. He approached the bubble and looked out. "Look! It's mom and dad!" Tifa and Elena were kicking Kefka's ass so hard now it's not funny.


 "Huh?? WHERE ARE NATE AND RAMZA??" Tifa and Elena said. Kefka was bleeding more and more with each inflicted wound.

 "Ar..rr..gh!" Kefka screamed, and a flash of light threw everyone back.

 "Fools. Now you shall see... my TRUE POWER!" Kefka the Lucifer angel arose from the light.

 "No! We're still there! Break the glass!" Nate said. Ramza took her fist and slammed it through the window. The resulting vacuum pulled them from the room and back into the battlefield.

 "Huh? I thought I got rid of you!" Lucifer Kefka shouted. Being in Nate's body allowed Ramza use of his infused magic. She flew a
graviblast at Kefka, and kept shooting one after another. Nate utilized Ramza's strong physical strength (??) to beat him. Lucifer Kefka just took one hit after another, unable to do anything else. Ramza had exhausted her magic power, and Nate was extremely tired from all that hitting. Lucifer Kefka was on the ground, unable to move.

 "This... is... not... the... end..." he barely managed to say.

 "The end IS here." A mysterious voice said. A dagger flew through the air and sliced through Lucifer Kefka's chest.

 "N...gahhhh!!!" Lucifer Kefka began to explode. His very body blew into red and yellow fire. After a few minutes, Kefka ceased to
exist.

 "Who was that?" Nate asked. Shadow appeared. "Shadow!" Nate had forgotten that he was in Ramza's body and ran towards Shadow.

 "...And you are?"

 "It's me! Nate!"

 "You're not Nate."

 "Long story."

 "Ramza! Nate! You killed Kefka! You saved the world!" The group sans Nate, Ramza, and Shadow said.

 "Um... well... we still have a slight problem. We have to right what Kefka has wronged. I'm not Nate." Ramza said.

 "And I'm not Ramza."

 "When Kefka shot us with that beam, he switched us around." Ramza explained.

 "Oh man," Cloud said. The group stared at them incredulously.


Author's Notes

I wrote this at Chesterfield, so it may appear to be a little messed up. I toyed with several other side effects of Kefka's beam, but I
decided that switching bodies was the easiest one to do. G'night.
