ITEMS TO GET: None

   The party confronts Garland again. He summons Kujya's bird-like dragon to fight you. This is only the first of three battles, so don't waste all your strong attacks now (though you can always use Ethers to restore your MP.) While the dragon will use Twister on you, it's also weak against wind, which means you can do a lot of damage to it by having Quina cast Twister back. You can also steal a Kaiser Knuckle, Dragon Mail, and an Elixir from the dragon.

I, Garland, will knock you all down!

   The dragon yields 13 AP when killed (it's got about x HP), but the fighting is far from over. Garland himself attacks you next, and he's got substantially more HP. Use Holy attacks against him (e.g. Maduin and the actual Holy spell). Garland will cast Stop on your characters; if you equipped Time Guard, this will be no problem. (You can also use Remedies to cure the condition; note that Esuna will not work.) As the battle wears on, Garland will start using an energy beam attack that can do up to 1700 points of damage to one character.

   After you do x damage to Garland, the battle ends. You won't receive any experience or AP. Kujya then takes over the Invincible, and an FMV sequence follows. It's time for the third and final battle, against Kujya.

   You can steal a very powerful robe from Kujya, but it may take some effort. In the mean time, break out the same set of attacks you used against Garland; Kujya is also weak against Holy damage. When you do about x damage to Kujya, it will go into Trance Mode and blast your whole party with a spell, ending the battle. Kujya then goes on a rampage and begins to destroy Terra.

Ewww.

   You take control of Zidane and Garnet somewhere in Pandemonium. Head down the stairs in the background and go right until you reach a weird eyeball statue. Garnet walks up to investigate it; follow her up and you'll be warped back to Bran Bal. Meanwhile, the other team (the one you left behind at the elevator controls) commandeers the Invincible. Zidane and Garnet evacuate Bran Bal, and everyone escapes back to Gaia in the nick of time.
