The swirling magical field enshrouded the area as Beatrix stepped forward and readied Save the Queen as she prepared to take on Ozma. The massive floating orb was more or less immobile, but the battle would not end until one or the other was defeated.

"BEGIN!"

"Climhazzard!" Beatrix yelled, bursting forward and slashing at Ozma with a mighty stroke of her sword.

A wide gash opened in Ozma, but it was quickly filled as the sphere shifted its mass forward to cover the wound.

Flashing, a massive meteor burst from the sky and hurled itself at Beatrix.

Beatrix raised her sword, mystic energy flowing through her body.

"HOLY!" she yelled, a burst of powerful white magic erupting from her blade.

The white magic slammed into the meteor, both spells fighting hard against each other and neither giving ground.

Finally, the meteor blew apart and the light of Holy dissipated.

Beatrix was already pushing forward again, her blade extended.

"Shock!" she yelled, unleashing a burst of power upon Ozma.

Ozma seemed to shake in the air momentarily before it retaliated with a flare spell. The magic burst forward, slamming into Beatrix and blasting her backwards. There was a flash of steel as Beatrix threw her blade forward to protect herself, but even that was not enough to stem the full force of the attack.

Grunting, Beatrix rose to her feet, breathing heavily and clutching her side. While she had survived the attack, it had certainly taken its toll. As her hand began to glow and her wounds began to knit, Ozma unleashed another attack, this time a death spell.

A reaper emerged from the globe and streaked towards Beatrix, scythe clenched in its bony fists.

"Full Life!" Beatrix cried, knowing that she had no chance of dodging the attack in her still-wounded state.

A pillar of light descended from the heavens and enshrouded her just as the reaper's scythe struck her, causing her to fall to the ground with a shriek, her face pale.

No sooner had the reaper dissipated than a smiling cherub wafted from the sky and touched her cold forehead. Color quickly returned to her cheeks as Beatrix rose, bringing her sword to bear.

Seeing her back on her feet, Ozma seemed to expand for a moment and a huge red burst of flame emerged from it, hurling itself at Beatrix with great speed.

Quickly rising to her feet, Beatrix began running to the right, her hand glowing with white magic.

The spell whirled past her but the stream of flames it dragged with it did not miss. As it cleared, Beatrix stood, slightly shaky, her arms crossed across her chest and glowing with white light.

Without missing a beat Ozma cast its next spell, a black and unsavory-looking mist surrounding Beatrix.

"Esuna!" Beatrix cried as the mist engulfed her.

The mist seemed to waver for a moment before the varicolored light of Beatrix's spell cleansed it.

Ozma unleashed yet another attack, this time a stream of energy that hit Beatrix and drew her mystic energy out of her. Gritting her teeth, she raised her sword and charged, pulling a small vial from beneath her clothing out with her other hand.

Ozma unleashed a meteor just as Beatrix quaffed the potion and hurled the vial at Ozma. The vial shattered without any ill effect, and she dodged to the side as the meteor slammed into the ground.

Ozma hung in midair for a moment, unsure if Beatrix still stood. As the dust from the meteor cleared Beatrix jumped forward and thrust her sword into Ozma.

"HOLY!"

Her sword, already embedded in Ozma, began to glow, and Ozma's body seemed to distort for a moment as the spell was unleashed inside of it.

"SHOCK!"

Again, Ozma's body bulged, this time the bulges growing even higher as Beatrix's power was unleashed. It began quivering and shaking wildly in an attempt to dislodge her, but Beatrix held on with a tenacity and determination that could not be matched.

"DIE!" she screamed. "HOLY THUNDER SLASH!"

Her sword glowed and Ozma bulged as the Holy magic was cast directly into its body. As it began to expand further, Beatrix dragged her blade through the strange creature, the lightning around it cutting open a hole.

The pressure was too much for Ozma. The massive globe exploded, throwing Beatrix to the ground and almost throwing her off of the plains.

Panting heavily, Beatrix sheathed her sword and pulled out another potion, quaffing it to stop the pain.
