The Final Strike
By: Gohan
9/19/03
Final Fantasy VII
He stands tall knowing his mission was complete
His most brutal enemy defeated by him and his friends
He lets a sigh of relief knowing it’s over
Yet something doesn’t feel right, something doesn’t feel completed
Out of nowhere the liquid below engulfs him
His childhood friend extends her hand but he fails to grab
And falls in the void of darkness
Kept in the dark he can’t open his eyes but he can see all the lights and colors
Falling continuously it seems he falls forever
Finally he opens his eyes and they widen for they see the killer his enemy
The man with no warmth in his heart of any kind in his heart
He lands softly in front of his enemy with his anger rising
Both men know that one will fall and one will stand as they both stare
The air is dead between them his anger is raising higher and higher
Suddenly the enemy strikes and knocks him down
Believing hes won his enemy turns and begins to leave
But he stands and calls him back not willing to give up
His enemy turns only to meet his blade slashing and slashing
For every single person hes hurt he strikes
For every friend hes injured he strikes
He then leaps in the air and in that moment time seemed to stop
Then he sees her, the one his opponent killed the one he loved
He looks down knowing this last strike was for her
As he brings his blade down to finish his enemy he sees her one last time.
Time slowly regains as the blade slices through his opponent
His enemy backs up cradling a wound and is lifted in the air
He stares at not knowing what will happen then he sees him brake up
Dissolve in to tiny lights and dissipate till there is nothing left
He stands alone there in that void of darkness kneels and whispers
“Finally it’s over…”
