Kefka and Sephiroth both stepped into the arena, staring each other down. Sephiroth's expression was one of grim malice, whereas Kefka's was insane bloodlust.

"BEGIN!"

"Why don't we just cut to the chase?" Kefka asked.

"Indeed," Sephiroth said.

Both of their bodies seemed to distort as Kefka sprouted wings and Sephiroth morphed into his many-legged form.

Rising up into the air, Kefka raised his hand.

"METEOR!" he yelled, unleashing a shower of meteors at Sephiroth.

"SHADOW FLARE!" Sephiroth yelled, destroying the meteors with dark energy.

Kefka circled Sephiroth as Sephiroth's eyes darkened and his hands glowed with energy.

"HAVOC WING!" they both yelled at the same time, rushing towards each other and clashing with a massive release of energy.

Both combatants were blasted backwards, away from each other.

Kefka beat his wings and easily stabalized, as did Sephiroth.

"ULTIMA!"

"SUPERNOVA!"

Destructive magical energies burst from Kefka and Sephiroth as they expanded outward, obliterating everything in their path. Both attacks met head on and began pressing against each other, neither gaining any ground as both struggled vainly to obliterate their target.

This lasted for several tense moments, before the attacks finally dissipated, their energies spent.

"FALLEN ONE!" Kefka yelled, almost before the magic was extinguished.

Dark angels appeared under Sephiroth and began clawing at him and dragging him downward, draining his energy.

Screaming in rage, Sephiroth raised his arms once more, energy building within him.

"SUPERNOVA!" he yelled again, unleashing a burst of massive flame that completely obliterated the angels who were attacking him.

As the fires grew around him, Kefka flew up and around it, keeping just out of its reach.

As the Nova expanded outward even further, it began to bulge until finally it exploded in a wave of powerful magic.

Kefka raised his hand to shield his face and rushed in, magic gathering in his hand. Ignoring the residual magic from the attack, he rushed right up to Sephiroth and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Goner!" he yelled, releasing the magical energy in an attack that blasted Sephiroth downward into the destroyed ground below.

Raising his other hand, Kefka charged a spell and rushed towards Sephiroth while he was recovering.

"Thundaga!" he yelled, releasing a blast of powerful lightning that took Sephiroth in the back as he turned to face his foe.

His other hand glowing, Kefka ran up to Sephiroth and punched him in the stomache with great force.

Sephiroth spat blood from the force of the blow as he grabbed Kefka's hand with a triumphant grin on his face.

"I HAVE YOU!" he yelled.

"FIRAGA!" Kefka yelled in reply, engulfing Sephiroth in flames.

The blast distracted Sephiroth, allowing Kefka to rip his hand free and bring both of them together as he flew just above Sephiroth, magic arcing through his fingers.

"ULTIMA!"

The magical energy burst outward, slamming into Sephiroth and driving him into the ground.

Sephiroth growled and struggled against the spell, gathering energy about him in an attempt to counter with his own Super Nova.

With a grunt, Sephiroth slammed into the ground, the magic of Ultima crushing him further and further into the earth.

A burst of magical energy erupted from Sephiroth, but the Ultima wrapped around him, engulfing him as his own magic expanded outward, only to be met with resistance by the Ultima's magic.

A huge explosion wracked the battlefield as the Ultima exploded.

In its wake Supernova burst outward, expanding several meters before also exploding.

Without waiting to see if his opponent still survived, Kefka raised his hand and dropped several meteors onto the spot where Sephiroth had been blasted.

The meteors slammed into the earth, further crushing it.

Without pause Kefka unleashed a blast of ice that froze the area utterly, before one more meteor storm that shattered and crushed the area.

As the smoke cleared, Kefka spotted Sephiroth's broken body lying on the ground.

"HAVOC WING!"

Rushing in, Kefka blasted the body with an energized charge, vaporizing it in an instant.
