Summary of Session 43:

The hour of the final battle of Arc 3 is upon us.

As the battle raged on against the furious might of Vaan in his ill-gotten Dragon form, the party was quick to act on their plans of defeating him. When the battle began, Joshua sprung into action and got the non-combatants of the field out of harms way and then dealt with Vaan's personal detail team as they were attacking innocent civilians. At the sky arena, everyone was working together to deal with the threat before them as Henry created countless illusions to bolster their numbers, while Dreyva did everything she could as she slung spell after spell to hasten the battle. 

Osiris did her part as well as she, uncharacteristically, leapt into harms way before anyone else did and she wasn't hiding how angry she was over the current predicament. Eventually, Joshua returned to the battlefield and he wasted no time in reducing Vaan's defenses as much as possible and in due time, he began to make real progress.

Unfortunately, Vaan was in possession of rejuvenation magicks and was able to reverse the defense reductions done to him and was able to become completely immune to certain elements should he be struck by them enough times in consecutive order. This quickly proved to be a problem as the party became locked out of certain high damage spells until Henry had the brilliant idea to use his new weapon to force Vaan into explaining what his weakness was.

When that information was discovered, everyone formed new battle plans and worked together to exploit that weakness. However, as that was taking place, Vaan became aware of Osiris's true identity and infected her with a never before seen Curse that quickly began affecting her body and her soul with an extremely ominous countdown above her head. She ordered everyone present to ignore her and continue pushing on as the threat before them was much more important.

Eventually, the party pushed Vaan into a corner and as he grew desperate he began preparing an attack that would wipe out not just the party, but the entire city if he had been allowed to perform it. Sensing just how dire the situation was, Osiris managed to reclaim her Phoenix transformation and began preparing an attack of her own and she asked for everyone's help to inflict as much damage as possible. The party shifted into their Burst forms, Joshua summoned Ifreeta, Dreyva summoned Garland, Henry fused with Diabolos and made a solemn prayer to the crystal that contained Odin and his call was finally heard as Odin and his steed Sleipnir entered the fray.

The combined efforts of those present were enough to fell the dragon as Odin granted the party the power to inflict the final blows to him and Vaan crumbled into dust. Not returning to the Aether as his ashes scattered upon the wind. Unfortunately, the curse overtook Osiris as she began to crumble and fade away herself and through her dying words, she stated that the one and only regret in her life at this moment is that she wouldn't be able to witness the next evolution of life.

Dreyva cried and begged for her not to die, Henry was asking Diabolos if there was anything he could do to stop this from happening and Joshua prepared to use a Save Crystal on her but he couldn't because he knew the very strict properties of how they worked. Osiris shed a single tear of flame that crystallized into a crystal before she completely faded away in Dreyva's arms.
