Copyright (c)2009 Andrew Kwey ============================================================================= ==================== Introduction ======================== ============================================================================= This guide was written for those who wish to enjoy the story of Dissidia: Final Fantasy but don't know how to read or understand Japanese. It was also written because I was sick and tired of seeing God-awful translation attempts in the forums and people saying there is no character development or the Dissidia's story is shallow even though no one understood it. Geez, people, how about actually finding out what it is before criticizing it? Anyways, this is my first FAQ so my format is ugly and I'm not a hundred percent sure what should be included. If you have any suggestions on what I should translate, spot any errors, or have any tips as to how to improve the FAQ, e-mail me in the address found above. Make sure to include "Dissidia" in the subject or I'll delete it. (No, I will not translate game mechanics like accessory rise conditions or summon properties. Story and flavor text only.) Reasons to send me an e-mail: *You've spotted a translation error, grammatical error, or typo. *You have constructive criticism or a suggestion for a change in the FAQ. *You want to contribute to the FAQ. *You want permission to put this FAQ up somewhere other than GameFaqs or wish to use these translations in their subs. *You want to give me praise! =D ============================================================================= ==================== Version History ====================== ============================================================================= v1.00: Added Destiny Odyssey 1-111 V1.01: Added Shade Impulse 1-97 + Ending, Story Mode section, and Table of Contents. Fixed various spelling and grammatical errors. V1.10 Added all unspoken dialogue, Cosmos Reports, Chaos Reports, and Secret Ending.Officially finished all main story-related translations. Started Battle Quotes section. V1.15: Added both Distant Glories and completed the Battle Quotes section. ============================================================================= ==================== Future Additions ====================== ============================================================================= In future updates, I plan to add character profiles and summon dialogues. ============================================================================= ==================== Notes ====================== ============================================================================= *I opted to keep character names in their given romanization in Dissidia. *Entire lines surrounded by quotes are thoughts, just like in-game. *Text in parenthesis represents text that isn't subtitled. Usually laughs or small side dialogue (Cefca has a lot of these). *The following characters have accents and speech patterns that should be taken note of: Cloud: Uses idioms. A ton of them. Tidus: Talks like a surfer (Dude!). He also has these monologues like he did in his own game, so whenever you see a long chain of "thought" dialogue, note that it's supposed to be reminiscent of his game. The Emperor: Extremely formal. It's to the point where he calls his enemies "gentlemen" and "sirs". Cloud of Darkness: Talks like an old woman/witch. Exdeath: Uses the kanji for "nothing" a lot. Thus he says words like "meaningless" and "futile" and "useless" a lot. You know, because of his whole obsession with the Void. Cefca: Talks like a crazy man. Sephiroth: Talks in a very sophisticated manner, like a know-it-all bookworm, Kuja: Uses a lot of theatre and music metaphors. Jecht: Talks like a gangster/biker. I included English equivalent idioms for Cloud and tried to convey the subtle differences in speech patterns that each character possesses, but whether or not I've been successful is up to you. *I have made the following abbreviations in the script: Warrior of Light --> WoL Onion Knight --> OK Cloud of Darkness --> CoD ============================================================================= ==================== Story Mode ====================== ============================================================================= |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY I - Warrior of Light's Story | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Destiny Odyesse 005 Destiny Odyesse 008 Destiny Odyssey 025 Destiny Odyssey 028 Destiny Odyssey 031 Destiny Odyssey 033 Destiny Odyssey 051 Destiny Odyssey 070 Destiny Odyssey 073 Destiny Odyssey 103 Destiny Odyssey 104 Destiny Odyssey 108 Destiny Odyssey 109 |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY II - Frioniel's Story | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Destiny Odyssey 066 Destiny Odyssey 081 Destiny Odyssey 083 Destiny Odyssey 093 Destiny Odyssey 095 Destiny Odyssey 099 Destiny Odyssey 100 Destiny Odyssey 101 Destiny Odyssey 102 Destiny Odyssey 105 |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY III - Onion Knight's Story | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Destiny Odyssey 006 Destiny Odyssey 010 Destiny Odyssey 013 Destiny Odyssey 016 Destiny Odyssey 018 Destiny Odyssey 020 Destiny Odyssey 022 Destiny Odyssey 023 Destiny Odyssey 026 |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY IV - Cecil's Story | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Destiny Odyssey 043 Destiny Odyssey 047 Destiny Odyssey 052 Destiny Odyssey 054 Destiny Odyssey 056 Destiny Odyssey 063 Destiny Odyssey 074 Destiny Odyssey 075 Destiny Odyssey 078 |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY V - Butz's Story | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Destiny Odyssey 040 Destiny Odyssey 050 Destiny Odyssey 065 Destiny Odyssey 067 Destiny Odyssey 069 Destiny Odyssey 077 Destiny Odyssey 086 Destiny Odyssey 087 Destiny Odyssey 090 |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY VI - Tina's Story | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Destiny Odyssey 044 Destiny Odyssey 046 Destiny Odyssey 055 Destiny Odyssey 062 Destiny Odyssey 064 Destiny Odyssey 068 Destiny Odyssey 071 Destiny Odyssey 072 Destiny Odyssey 076 |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY VII - Cloud's Story | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Destiny Odyssey 007 Destiny Odyssey 009 Destiny Odyssey 012 Destiny Odyssey 014 Destiny Odyssey 017 Destiny Odyssey 030 Destiny Odyssey 035 Destiny Odyssey 036 Destiny Odyssey 038 |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY VIII - Squall's Story | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Destiny Odyssey 011 Destiny Odyssey 019 Destiny Odyssey 021 Destiny Odyssey 024 Destiny Odyssey 039 Destiny Odyssey 041 Destiny Odyssey 053 Destiny Odyssey 057 Destiny Odyssey 058 Destiny Odyssey 060 |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY IX - Zidane's Story | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Destiny Odyssey 015 Destiny Odyssey 027 Destiny Odyssey 029 Destiny Odyssey 059 Destiny Odyssey 061 Destiny Odyssey 079 Destiny Odyssey 085 Destiny Odyssey 088 Destiny Odyssey 089 Destiny Odyssey 091 |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY X - Tidus' Story | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Destiny Odyssey 034 Destiny Odyssey 048 Destiny Odyssey 080 Destiny Odyssey 082 Destiny Odyssey 084 Destiny Odyssey 092 Destiny Odyssey 096 Destiny Odyssey 097 Destiny Odyssey 098 ============================================================================= ==================== Destiny Odyssey ====================== ============================================================================= |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 001 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on a border between Cosmos' world and Chaos' world, where both armies are standing off.* Cid: The Goddess of Harmony, Cosmos, and the God of Discord, Chaos. Cid: These two gods reigned in a far-off dimension and summoned warriors from many different worlds and commanded them to fight a fierce battle. Cid: Cosmos and Chaos were equal in power. Cid: Their conflict was supposed to continue for all eternity. However... *The forces of Cosmos and the forces of Chaos clash in an epic battle. The scene ends with WoL alone and unconscious on the floor.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 002 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on WoL as he regains consciousness and gets up off the floor. He then hears Cosmos' voice.* Cosmos: I have been defeated. WoL: Cosmos! Cosmos: I... couldn't protect this world. *WoL sees a pillar of light in the distance and begins walking towards it.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |PROLOGUE | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on WoL after regaining consciousness.* WoL: Cosmos... Cosmos? Cosmos: I'm glad... You're all right. WoL: Cosmos, where exactly is this place? This world... Cosmos: I... was defeated by the overwhelming power of discord earlier. Cosmos: This is what the world where all of you were has become. Everything has been crushed by despair. Cosmos: At this rate, it is only a matter of time before the world and I sink into the darkness... WoL: Ugh... Is there no way to save you... or this world? Cosmos: ...There is one way. Cosmos: Can you see the black mark in front of you? That is the God of Discord, Chaos' [Stigma of Discord]. Cosmos: If you shatter that stigma... the path forward will reveal itself. WoL: The path forward? Cosmos, what exactly is that...? Cosmos: First, destroy that stigma... That is the first step in driving back this despair. Cosmos: If you do not fear what the future holds and break that stigma, a new world will open up before you. Cosmos: On your path, you will probably encounter despair. Nevertheless, you must continue... WoL: You don't need to worry, Cosmos. WoL: Even if I am injured or defeated, I will never lose the light within me...! *WoL destroys the Stigma of Discord. Scene changes.* Cosmos: When the stage begins, you're given a set number of movement points (DP) located at the top left of your screen: [Destiny Points] These are a product of the power of harmony that protect you from the discord... WoL: I feel a warm light. Could this be...? Cosmos: Yes, this is the last of my power remaining in this world... Please use this power to carve your fate. Cosmos: If you destroy that mark, the remaining power will help you by becoming another power that will take on a different shape. WoL: Another power...? Cosmos: You will understand in due time. For now, please concentrate on continuing forward. Cosmos: Shatter that stigma and expand the world... and save the world from this despair... *WoL encounters and defeats an Imitation.* WoL: He looked exactly like me. What exactly was my enemy just now...? Cosmos: An Imitation... They are imitation life forms that accompany Chaos' soldiers. Cosmos: You will face a countless number of Imitations. But do not be afraid. WoL: Yeah, I am prepared to cross swords. These low-level imitations... are not my enemy. *WoL proceeds to destroy another Stigma of Discord.* WoL: There are two enemies... Cosmos: Be careful... If you challenge an enemy, all other enemies nearby will sense your presence and ambush you. WoL: A succession of battles...? I should proceed with caution then. Cosmos: It is all right in this instance. Because you have captured this space, a chance has appeared. WoL: Yeah, I can fight without expending a Destiny Point. *WoL proceeds to destroy another Stigma of Discord. Scene changes.* Cosmos: If you defeat this Imitation, my power will be able to return to these untamed lands a little. Cosmos: From now on, you must continue on your own with what you have learned. Cosmos: You are a Warrior of Light. Never forget that... No matter what kind of hardships lie ahead... There will always be a way... Cosmos: And there is always your own brilliance... If you do not give up... A way will definitely... WoL: Cosmos... Cosmos...!? WoL: Ugh... If I don't hurry... |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 003 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on WoL who sees a faint glow and a figure in the distance, and he runs towards it, arriving at Cosmos' throne.* WoL: Cosmos! Cosmos: I... have been defeated by Chaos. Cosmos: The God of Discord, Chaos. Cosmos: In his rage, he tore apart all harmony... Cosmos: And the world has lost its original shape. *Cosmos projects holograms to the other heroes, who were scattered by the battle. Scene switches to Zidane and Butz.* Cosmos: Everything is sinking into a vortex of discord. Cosmos: The ten of you are this world's last hope. Cosmos: So please obtain them. *Scene switches to Frioniel, Cecil, Cloud, and Tidus.* Cosmos: Even though the world is broken, they haven't lost the brilliance of their light... Cosmos: The crystals. *Scene switches to Tina and OK.* Cosmos: The crystals have the power to oppose the despair. Cosmos: If the ten crystals can be collected, then there is still hope to save this world. Cosmos: The path to the crystals is a difficult one... Cosmos: Everyone's struggles will differ. *Scene switches to Squall.* Cosmos: Believe in your own path, and continue down it, no matter what. Cosmos: Even if your destination is unclear... Squall: No problem. Squall: I already follow my own path. *Scene switches to Zidane and Butz.* Zidane: If the treasure was easy to find, it wouldn't be a treasure hunt. Butz: This isn't a game, so don't have such a carefree attitude... Butz: You have to enjoy yourself seriously. *Scene switches to Tina and OK.* OK: Cheer up. I'm with you. OK: If you're scared, you can believe in me. Tina: Then I'll be depending on you. *Scene switches to Frioniel, Cecil, Cloud, and Tidus.* Cecil: Perhaps each of our paths to the crystals is different. Cecil: But we have comrades. Frioniel: If we combine our strengths, we have nothing to fear. Cloud: Hmph. How naive. Cloud: Chaos is in command. The soldiers of discord... They'll be coming after us. Cloud: You must keep your guard up. Tidus: The enemy is strong, but I'm totally getting fired up! Cosmos: Thank you... *Scene changes to WoL, who is kneeling in front of the real Cosmos.* Cosmos: There is little left of this world. The rest has sunk into discord. Cosmos: Until everyone finds the crystals, I cannot support you... Cosmos: I'm sorry. I want to be with you... Cosmos: But I need to rest a little... WoL: Cosmos. WoL: Your light is always with us. *Cosmos vanishes and you see each respective group of heroes set off on their new mission.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 004 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on the villains' headquarters.* Ultimecia: When the time comes, everything will fall into place. Ultimecia: The final struggle... The Emperor: And then the perfect ending. The Emperor: If we seize the crystals... The Emperor: Will it all go according to the goddess' plan? |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. I (PART 1) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Chaos and Garland have a discussion.* Chaos: I am the God of Discord... Supreme ruler of all beings in this world... Correct? Garland: Yes. To defeat Cosmos and have discord overtake this world... That is the duty given to us. Chaos: Once I regain my lost power, this battle shall be over. Victory is only a matter of time. Chaos: However... there is something... that's bothering me... Garland, what you said... Do you really believe it will come to pass? Garland: ...Of course, Chaos. *Scene switches to WoL on his journey.* WoL: I sense the presence of evil... Do they plan to impede my path? *WoL destroys the Stigma of Discord.* WoL: Now, I must hurry ahead. At this rate, Cosmos will... |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 005 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on the WoL traveling as he remembers Cosmos' words." Cosmos: "Please obtain them." Cosmos: "Even though the world is broken, they haven't lost the brilliance of their light. The crystals." WoL: Cosmos... WoL: As per your wish, we will definitely WoL: obtain the crystals. The hope of the world... *Garland approaches from off-screen,* Garland: And where do you think you're off to? WoL: Garland! Garland: Do you intend to retreat from the battle? WoL: I don't intend on retreating from anything. Garland: Then let us begin it. Garland: The moment of fate is nigh... Garland: Why don't we just enjoy ourselves for now? *WoL and Garland begin their fight.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 006 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Tina and OK traveling.* OK: The crystals... They have the power to break through the despair, huh? OK: I wonder what they are exactly. Tina: I wonder how we're supposed to look for them. Tina: Even if we find them, if the world can't be saved... OK: The goddess spoke very highly of them, didn't she? OK: Even though there is no assurance that Cosmos' words are true, we have no way of knowing that they are false. OK: In any case, we can do nothing but believe in them for now, right? OK: Let's just try doing what we can first. Tina: Yeah, you're right. OK: If we just stand around, we won't find an answer. The first thing we need to do is keep moving. OK: Don't worry. OK: I'll definitely find the right answer. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. III (PART 1) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on OK and Tina traveling.* Tina: Look... Our path is obscured. Are there enemies lying in wait for us? Or... OK: It could be enemies or it could be treasure. We have no idea what's there, so let's proceed cautiously. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. III (PART 2) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on CoD conversing with Cefca.* CoD: ...Do you really think we can use that girl? Cefca: Of course! Her power is The. Real. Thing! CoD: ...If you hold her in such high regard, I shall believe you. Let me see how useful she can truly be. Cefca: Please do! Shall I demonstrate her power again like last time? CoD: ...Last time? Cefca: No, no, no, no! I TOTALLY said THIS time. Anyways, Here. We. Go! *Scene switches to OK and Tina traveling.* Tina: I sense the presence of many enemies here, as well. Will it be all right...? OK: I'll observe the enemy before each fight. What kind of person he is and what equipment he is utilizing. OK: If he is weak with a sword, I'll fight him with a sword. If he is weak with magic, I'll fight him with magic. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. VII (PART 1) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cefca conversing with The Emperor.* The Emperor: ...What does he know? What is he after...? Cefca: Don't worry about it. That guy is just a sadist who looks down on others. The Emperor: Sephiroth... He took his own life. At the end of the last war, right before my eyes... Cefca: Seriously? What's the point of that? The Emperor: He was probably testing something. If we do not move carefully... *Scene switches to Cloud traveling.* Cloud: Why...? I feel like something is calling me. Is it my crystal...? No, it's something far more sinister... *Cloud continues forward.* Cloud: Are there enemies everywhere...? Am I fated to continue fighting forever...? |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 007 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cloud, who is alone. Cecil, Frioniel, and Tidus come running towards him.* Cecil: Well? Any sign of the crystals? Cloud: No. None. Tidus: So the crystals are the hope that can save this world, right? Tidus: How are we supposed to, like, find them? Frioniel: Don't we just keep on fighting? Frioniel: If we defeat every enemy... Cloud: We don't know anything beyond that. It's dangerous to fight so recklessly. Cloud: No one can win every fight. Tidus: So we should take a break from the fighting every once in awhile? Frioniel: That definitely sounds good. Cecil: Cloud sure is a big help. We could all learn from your calm assessment of the situation. Tidus: We could all learn from Cecil, too! Frioniel: Speak for yourself! *Everyone except Cloud laughs.* Frioniel: We aren't so bad ourselves. *Cecil, Frioniel, and Tidus head off first.* Cloud: "Calm?" Cloud: "No, that's not it." Cloud: "I'm definitely not..." |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. VII (PART 2) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cloud, Cecil, Tidus, and Frioniel traveling.* Cecil: The enemy seems to be multiplying. We must conserve our strength... Cloud: Study the enemy's movements carefully. They will definitely leave openings after they attack. These Imitations are not very strong. Don't get carried away in the heat of battle. Tidus: Got that, Frioniel? Frioniel: Yeah... I'm envious of Cloud's composure. Cloud: "...It's not composure. I'm... actually afraid right now." *Cloud, Cecil, Tidus, and Frioniel continue forward.* Tidus: Nice, Cloud... All right, wanna have a match? Cloud: ...Please show some restraint. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 008 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on WoL and Garland after their battle. Garland is kneeling on the floor.* Garland: You scoundrel, do you truly plan on saving this world? WoL: That is our mission. WoL: All hope has not yet been lost. *Garland lets out a sinister laugh.* Garland: How foolish. Garland: The hope that you desire is an illusion. Garland: To pursue that is to run away from the truth. Even if you reach it, there is no way to seize it. WoL: What? Garland: You'll learn the truth of this battle eventually. *Garland begins fading.* Garland: This world will betray you. *Garland disappears with a sinister laugh.* WoL: No matter what this world really is... WoL: The light is with me. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 009 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Frioniel, Cecil, Cloud, and Tidus resting.* Tidus: So, like, what are the "crystals"? Cecil: Can you defeat Chaos by just having the crystals? Frioniel: If it is Cosmos' wish, we need only fulfill it. Cloud: What are we fighting for? Frioniel: "What" you ask...? To defeat Chaos. Frioniel: To restore peace to this world, right? Cloud: The only thing Cosmos told us is to gather the crystals. Cloud: If we defeat Chaos, there is no guarantee that peace will return. Cloud: No one knows what will happen to this world. Tidus: At any rate, we should have faith in her, dude! Frioniel: Even if we don't know, either way, we have to fight for now, don't we? Cloud: I... want to agree. Cloud: But what are we fighting for? Right now, I don't see an answer either. And I don't want to just brush it off. Frioniel: Cloud... Cloud: What about you guys? Cloud: Even in our current situation, I want to know your reason to fight, if you have one. Cecil: A reason to fight... I haven't exactly thought about that before. Tidus: I want to settle things with my old man! Frioniel: Isn't that a bit self-centered? Cloud: Tidus, that's a good reason. Frioniel: Let me think about it a little bit, won't you? Frioniel: I want to find an answer that you'll accept. Cloud: Sure. *Frioniel, Cecil, and Tidus head off first.* Cloud: An answer...? |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 010 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Tina and OK traveling.* Tina: Wait a second. OK: What? Tina: I'm getting a strange sensation... Tina There's a strong feeling coming from that direction. OK: Could it be... a crystal? Tina: I don't know. All I know is it has a strong presence. OK: Let's go check it out. *OK begins to run until he notices that Tina isn't moving.* OK: What's wrong? Tina: My heart is unsettled for some reason... Tina: I have a feeling we shouldn't approach it. OK: Tina, we should probably look for any clue to the whereabouts of the crystals. OK: It'll be okay. If it's an enemy, I'll handle it. Tina: But... OK: Chaos' underlings are strong. However, those guys only know how to break things. OK: On the other hand, I... *OK points to his head.* OK: have this. OK: Now, let's keep going. *OK takes off before Tina, who hesitates before following.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. III (PART 3) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on OK and Tina traveling.* Tina: Are we... really going to continue this way? The enemies also appear to be stronger in this area, too... OK: No need to worry, Tina. It would only be reckless if we just ran in, but if we carefully study our enemies, we'll be able to find openings. OK: Imitations are very simple. If you fight intelligently, there's nothing to be afraid of. Tina: ...You're so strong. I'm envious of your strength. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 011 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens up on Zidane and Butz running towards Squall.* Zidane: You saved us! Thanks! Butz: Hmm? Are you alone? Squall: Yeah... Butz: Then join us in our travels. We'll search for the crystals together! *Zidane and Butz run ahead.* Squall: "How did it become like this...?" Squall: Sorry, you guys... Squall: But it'll be easier if I'm on my own. *Zidane and Butz stop in their tracks and exchange a glance.* Zidane: Isn't being alone... lonely? Butz: Well, I guess it's also fine to split up and search... Butz: Then we'll go that way. Zidane: We'll meet up again when we obtain the crystals! *Zidane and Butz run off again. A minute later, Butz comes running back to Squall.* Butz: Ah, that's right... Squall: What now? Butz: Since we finally met up again. *Butz produces a yellow feather and hands it to Squall.* Butz: Take this with you! Squall: What's with this filthy feather...? Butz: "Filthy"...? That's a bit harsh. Butz: This is my good luck charm. Butz: This guy got me out of a lot of tight spots. Squall: ...This is a battlefield. Do you really think such a trivial thing will decide people's fates? Butz: I'm just worried about you. Butz: I'll be fine because I'm with Zidane. Butz: So just return it to me when we meet again! *Butz puts the feather in Squall's hand.* Butz: Promise! *Butz then chases after Zidane again.* Squall: "How presumptuous... A promise..." |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. VIII (PART 1) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Squall traveling.* Squall: "This feather... is something important to him? If that's the case... Why did he give it to me...?" *Squall continues forward.* Squall: "Geez... These pests just keep coming one after another." *Squall continues forward.* Squall: "Hmph... Not bad." |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. VII (PART 3) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cloud, Cecil, Tidus, and Frioniel traveling.* Tidus: Oh! That's a lot of treasure, dude! Cloud: Yeah, the leftover strength of the gods. We should obtain them. Cecil: Let's not miss any treasure boxes. Cloud: No, that's not the best idea. It's smarter to keep our eyes on the prize than to have our enemies snatch victory away from us. Tidus: Right. Swinging that burdensome sword around more than you need to will only tire you out, dude. Cloud: ...It's not a burden. It's a memento. *Cloud, Cecil, Tidus, and Frioniel continue forward.* Cloud: "If this war is supposed to drain our 'strength'... Then I already... have nothing more to lose." Cecil: ...Are you hurt, Cloud? Do you want to rest for a bit? Cloud: No, I'm fine... I was just thinking about something. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 012 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens up with Cloud staring off into the distance and Frioniel approaching him.* Frioniel: A reason to fight. I've been thinking about it for a while. Frioniel: But putting it into words is pretty difficult. Cloud: Is that so? Frioniel: If I had one wish... Frioniel: Then it would be this. *Frioniel produces a wild rose in his hand.* Cloud: What's that? Frioniel: A "wild rose". Frioniel: It's a sight I've always wanted to see. Frioniel: For that, I want to end this fight. Frioniel: Well, for now, we can only talk about our dreams. Cloud: Dreams? Frioniel: Yeah, we can't give up on our dreams. Frioniel: Because of that, we can keep fighting. Cloud: Frioniel... Cloud: Will you fight me? Frioniel: Huh? Cloud: I want to know. Cloud: Can you continue fighting just because of that? Cloud: Show me the strength of someone who believes in dreams so strongly. Frioniel: But... Frioniel: All right, I understand. I accept your challenge. *Cloud and Frioniel begin their fight.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 013 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Tina and OK.* OK: Tina, the presence? Tina: It was here just a second ago... *Tina looks around and then spots a portal opening near them.* Tina: Get back! *Exdeath emerges from the portal and takes a good look at Tina and OK.* Exdeath: Cosmos' subordinates? OK: "What's with this guy's presence...?" OK: "Unfathomable power... I can't even compare!" Exdeath: I leave to quench my boredom and I run into a girl and a child... OK: "I have no chance of winning if I face him head on." OK: "Tina is also here. For now..." OK: W-Would you please let us go? Exdeath: What? OK: The two of us couldn't possibly compare to your power. Even if you fought us, we wouldn't even help you alleviate any of your boredom. OK: So, if you seek out other stronger opponents, you should be satisfied. OK: If you were to pick on the helpless, you would be a coward. OK: That's all I have to say. Exdeath: Would not letting powerless people go be just as meaningless? *Exdeath laughs in amusement.* Exdeath: All right. I'll overlook you two. *OK is visibly relieved.* Exdeath: But, youngster, *OK tenses up again.* Exdeath: I'll only say this once: Exdeath: A person who lacks courage is incapable of obtaining the crystals. *Exdeath teleports away and OK lets out a sigh of relief.* OK: Piece of cake. OK: Even when you get stuck with someone like him, you have to find any way you can to escape. OK: That's my policy for not fighting opponents I can't win against. Tina: But, is it really all right? OK: Is what "all right"? Tina: It seemed like he let us go on purpose. Tina: It seemed like he wanted to give you that piece of advice more than he wanted to fight. OK: What he said about "a person who lacks courage"? OK: Fighting a losing battle isn't courage. It's just reckless and futile. Tina. I'm sorry. But... OK: If it's like that, I'll obtain the crystal as proof. OK: I'm not "a person who lacks courage". OK: Let's go. Do you still sense that presence? Tina: It's further up ahead. OK: All right. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 014 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cloud and Frioniel after their fight. Frioniel is kneeling on the floor.* Frioniel: It's... not over yet! *Frioniel throws a dagger at Clouds face and stops it just before it strikes Cloud. Several of his other weapons are also floating near Cloud, ready to strike. Frioniel then lets them fall to the floor. Frioniel hangs his head in defeat, but Cloud walks over and offers him a hand.* Cloud: It really is impressive. Frioniel: Like I said. I won't give up... Frioniel: On my dream... *Frioniel accepts Cloud's hand.* Cloud: Yeah. But... Cloud: I'm not like you. Frioniel: Why? Cloud: Even though I've searched, I can't find one. Cloud: I'm always wondering what I should do without a dream. Cloud: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to burden you with my problems. *Cloud walks off.* Cloud: "The answer I seek..." Cloud: "Probably doesn't exist." |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O.

Ultimecia: No, unfortunately, it is the truth. You are the only one who uses lies to manipulate people... Kuja: ...Do not look down on me! Kuja: ...Just you wait and see. I will execute a plan better than anyone else's. Kuja: I will prove it to you... I am superior to you all! Ultimecia: ...Pitiful child.

You wanna have a little competition? Butz: A competition? Zidane: Yeah. How about "whoever finds the crystal first, wins"? Butz: A treasure hunt, eh? I'll definitely win! Zidane: Oh, really? I'm a professional thief, you know. Butz: Then as a professional mime, I'll steal the victory right from under you! Zidane: The treasure is... this way! *Zidane runs off.* Butz: Then I'll... also go this way! *Butz also runs off in the same direction.* Butz: Here I go!

Your plan has failed, Cefca. Cefca: Failed, you say? Have you forgotten the tremendous power that the girl showed in the last war!? Exdeath: ...In the last war, she was indeed a great tool. However, this time, it is different. Even you can see the clear purpose she possesses this time, can you not? Cefca: ...So what? Exdeath: Give it up. That girl is no longer a piece of Chaos. She is now an established piece of Cosmos... Cefca: ...Give it up? I will draw out that girl's power... And by doing so, I will annihilate all of my enemies! This is my decree! *Scene switches to OK and Tina traveling.* Tina: Where did that man from earlier go...? I wonder if everyone else is all right. OK: Everyone is continuing down their respective paths. Those who like to use their swords should do so. I prefer to continue with my brains. OK: I'll find my crystal soon enough. Tina: But... What's this unpleasant premonition I'm feeling...? *OK and Tina continue forward.* OK: Where's the presence? It's close, right? Tina: ...Yeah. OK: All right...

OK notices and turns around.* OK: Tina? *Tina begins to glow and spark as the debris around her begins levitating.* Tina: No! A voice in my head...! Tina: The power...! OK: Tina!? OK: What's wrong, Tina!? *Tina's facial expression suddenly changes and she glares at OK, firing a a volley of spells at him which he dodges.* OK: Tina! Stop it! Don't you recognize me!? *OK draws his sword.* OK: In this case, my only choice is to restrain her by force...! *Tina and OK begin their fight.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O.

Have you retained your memories of the time before you awoke? Garland: ...What are you trying to say? Sephiroth: My memories were being kept from me. Watching him has suddenly brought these memories back to me. It is as if memories of my life and everything I have learned from birth were purposely being sealed away. Garland: ... Sephiroth: I... have something I want to ask you. Sephiroth: When I awoke in this world, I saw the image of a dragon that shined with the brilliance of the gods... Sephiroth: What was that? Garland: ...What makes you think I would know the answer? |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 017 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cloud staring off into the distance and Cecil approaching him.* Cecil: Cloud. Cecil: Were you able to get an answer from Frioniel? Cloud: Yeah... Cloud: It seems he has a dream. Cloud: In order to fulfill it, he'll continue fighting. Cecil: That's just like Frioniel. Cloud: He told you? Cecil: He's a shy person, so it wasn't easy getting it out of him. Cecil: He said, "If the wild rose can bloom forever, everyone will want to make the world a peaceful place." Cloud: What a childish thing, a dream... Cecil: Even so, you sure are blunt about it. Cloud: Maybe I'm just chasing the wind. Cloud: How about you, Cecil? Cecil: It doesn't seem like I would be able to give you a satisfying answer either. Cecil: But there may be someone, somewhere, who has an answer for you. Cecil: Why don't you try looking for him? Cloud: But... *Frioniel and Tidus come running to join their companions.* Frioniel: Go on, Cloud. Tidus: We'll be cheering you on, dude! Cloud: Is it really all right? *Frioniel nods.* Frioniel: Under one condition... Frioniel: When you find the answer, make sure you tell us what it is. Cloud: Got it. I promise you. *Cloud takes off on his own as the others watch and nod in approval.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O.

CoD then comes onto screen.* CoD: Do not interfere. We're in the process of waking her true power. OK: What did you do with Tina? CoD: So you're the legendary Onion Knight? CoD: Even if the legend was greatly exaggerated, you're just a child. CoD: Who is responsible for all of this? Do you not know? CoD: Who is the one who swung his sword at the girl to save her from her pain? CoD: The insolent person who forced the poor girl to continue forward... Who on earth could it be? OK: T-That was... CoD: The girl realized it. She couldn't take it any longer! CoD: All of your false wisdom was only for your own sake! CoD: With your despicable ignorance and weakness, CoD: You have no chance to save that girl! *CoD teleports away.* OK: Tina... |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 019 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Squall, who takes out Butz's feather and examines it.* Squall: "A good luck charm..." *Cosmos (Ultimecia) teleports on screen behind him.* Cosmos (Ultimecia): A gift from a friend? Squall: It's just a useless thing that was forced upon me. Cosmos (Ultimecia): It's showing on your face, Squall. Cosmos (Ultimecia): You regret not going with your friends, don't you? Squall: I don't regret it at all. Squall: However... Those guys are worried about me. Squall: Their compassion is such a troublesome burden. Squall: But I will become a useful rear guard and end up helping them. Squall: Declining their invitation... might have been a bad idea. Cosmos (Ultimecia): Not at all. Your decision was correct. Cosmos (Ultimecia): The way to obtain the crystals is hidden in each of your hearts. You have to fight your true enemy. Cosmos (Ultimecia): You must stand against your true enemy alone. Squall: My true enemy... Her!? Cosmos (Ultimecia): That's right... The time-manipulating sorceress, Ultimecia. Cosmos (Ultimecia): If you defeat her, you will obtain your crystal. Cosmos (Ultimecia): For that, you must take the harsh path of solitude... Cosmos (Ultimecia): Will you be able to follow through with your own resolution? Squall: I can't answer that yet. Do you want me to swear an oath? *Squall walks off.* Cosmos (Ultimecia): Yes... That would be great. *The faint image of Ultimecia appears over Cosmos, suggesting that it was Ultimecia disguised as Cosmos all along.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. VIII (PART 2) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Ultimecia conversing with Garland.* Garland: ...If we take Cosmos' life, the rest of them will also be erased. There is no need to risk any danger to ourselves. Ultimecia: Do we have any guarantee that it will all go as The Emperor has planned? Is it really possible to bestow a "perfect death" upon Cosmos? Garland: ...In other words, you have your own plan? Ultimecia: Are you not the same? I know... You are well connected with Chaos. Garland: Hmph... Ultimecia: It is extremely important to survive until Shinryuu begins to move. And I am willing to do anything I can to make sure I do. Ultimecia: ...Will you join forces with me? *Scene switches to Squall traveling.* Squall: "The resolution of isolation, huh...? Not a problem. Squall: But if I'm going to be traveling alone, I need to continue cautiously. Squall: The enemy is definitely bound to the laws of this war. Once I confirm what those laws are, I will attack. *Squall continues forward.* Squall: ...This is getting a little annoying. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 020 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on OK who is in deep thought, when Cosmos teleports in.* Cosmos: I was able to hear Tina's prayer for help. Cosmos: She's being manipulated by the Cloud of Darkness' witchcraft. She's in pain. OK: It's all my fault. Cosmos: It is. Cosmos: You overestimated your own ability. OK: Do you know a way to save Tina!? Cosmos: Defeating the Cloud of Darkness is the only way. OK: Her? OK: But my policy of not fighting opponents I can't win against... OK: Ah, that's right! The crystals! OK: If I obtain my crystal, then I can save Tina... OK: They have the power to save the world. I won't have to fight her! OK: Hey, tell me where the crystals you think so highly of are! Cosmos: Avoiding a fight is also one way. Cosmos: No one can deny you your decision. Cosmos: But, is that your true desire? OK: My true desire...? Cosmos: The crystal is the brilliance of your resolution. Cosmos: If you follow your heart's truest desire, you will obtain it. Cosmos: That's all I have to say. *Cosmos teleports away. Golbeza walks on screen.* Golbeza: How pathetic. OK: Chaos' underling...! Golbeza: That girl Tina. Golbeza: Due to an unbreakable spell, she is continuing the fight as the Cloud of Darkness' servant. Golbeza: Using all of her strength, that girl will surely lose her life on the battlefield. *OK looks troubled.* Golbeza: You cannot defeat the Cloud of Darkness with your power. Golbeza: Avoiding a fight is a wise decision. *OK looks even more troubled.* Golbeza: What's wrong? Golbeza: Isn't that your reasoning? OK: I... Golbeza: You should look within yourself and decide. *Golbeza teleports away.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O.

If you wanna catch him for sure, you need bait first. Kuja: ...Bait? Cefca: You said that monkey is always risking his own life to save his friends, right? Then why don't we capture one of them? Kuja: But all of them are traveling in groups. A plan to capture one for bait is... Cefca: That's not true! There's a lonely guy traveling all alone! Cefca: You can't stomach that Ultimecia witch, right? Then get in her way! Two birds with one stone, right? *Scene switches to Squall traveling.* Squall: Guarding a good luck charm is stupid... But I guess I can hang onto it... It's not so bad. *Squall continues forward.* Squall: Geez... It seems like there's an endless amount of Imitation troops. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 021 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Squall traveling.

Kuja: And a guy who recklessly travels alone seems perfect for the role. Squall: Sorry, but I think I'll pass. Kuja: What did you say? *Squall draws his sword.* Squall: I'll also make sure Zidane doesn't even run into a worthless guy like you. Kuja: You roar well for now.

CoD: Has he come to challenge me a second time? *OK arrives.* OK: My policy is to not fight an opponent I can't win against. OK: I will do whatever you say. OK: So please, just let Tina go. CoD: Did I knock some sense into you? CoD: A wise decision. CoD: All right. Become my servant. CoD: Show me you're more useful than that girl was. *CoD approaches OK.* OK: You're surprisingly gullible. *OK draws his sword at strikes at CoD.* OK: Who the hell would want to be an ally of Chaos!? CoD: Cunning! How foolish of you to oppose me! OK: I know. OK: But only using my head while ignoring my heart is even more foolish! OK: I will protect Tina with my own power. OK: That is my truest desire. OK: My policy of "not fighting opponents I can't win against" hasn't changed. *Cod draws his sword again.* OK: But, I have decided to fight you. OK: Because I will definitely win! CoD: Hmph!

CoD: When you open your eyes, there is only... *CoD charges a massive spell.* CoD: Despair! *CoD fires her spell at OK. The dust clears away and it appears OK stood his ground and endured it.* OK: I found something that no one can take away from me...

Kuja: But I've thought of a much better way to catch Zidane. Squall: Shut up! *Squall lunges at Kuja, but Kuja takes off into the air before Squall can reach him.* Kuja: I have no more use for you. Kuja: It's time for me to call on my second mark. *Kuja teleports away.* Squall: "Am I worried that I won't be able to save them?" Squall: "...No, that's not it."

We'll go with you! WoL: No, leave this to me. You two must continue your search for the crystals. Cecil: But... WoL: Cecil, listen to me. Your brother knows something about this world. I want you to discern what that is. That is your assignment right now. Tidus: Cecil, didn't that thief injure you just now? It'd be unreasonable to chase after him, bro! Cecil: ...I understand. I'll leave Frioniel to you. You... take care of yourself! *WoL chases after Frioniel.* WoL: To plunge into enemy lines like that... That must have been quite an important thing. *WoL destroys the Stigma of Discord.* WoL: The enemy is different... Are there more types now? Well, it will be fine as long as I hurry ahead...

WoL: I'm well aware of that. Sephiroth: Then why do you stand against me? WoL: You hurt my friend. Sephiroth: "I can't forgive you..." Is that what you're trying to say? Sephiroth: Challenging me because of a momentary emotion... *WoL draws his sword.* WoL: Let us begin.

Golbeza: That girl possesses tremendous power. So much that she herself fears it. Golbeza: You must support her and protect her. OK: T-That goes without saying! Golbeza: That's right, huh? You've already decided to do so. Golbeza: And the crystal lies in the brilliance of that determination. *A crystal appears in the air in front of OK. OK grabs the crystal.* OK: This is... my crystal. *Golbeza teleports away. Tina wakes up.* Tina: Where am I? OK: Tina. OK: Everything's all right now. I'll be watching over you, so get some rest.

The lone lion is wlaking into our trap. Garland: ...Am I to be a prisoner of these stupid plans again...? *Scene switches to Zidane and Butz traveling.* Zidane: Butz, if we aren't careful, we'll run right into a trap! If you only focus on the enemy in front of you, who knows how far you'll get. Butz: It's good to be a little hesitant, but aimless journeys are my specialty! As long as I keep cutting down anyone whoever gets in my way, I'll be fine! Zidane: ...Is that guy gonna be all right? *Zidane and Butz continue forward.* Zidane: Phew...

WoL: To obtain the crystals and end the fighting. Sephiroth: Fighting to stop the fighting...? Sephiroth: How poetic. Sephiroth: How long must the fighting pile up before we reach such a conclusion? WoL: Though it is certainly far away, I will definitely reach it. Sephiroth: No, you're wrong. Sephiroth: There is no hope for the fighting to end.

Could it be that... Ultimecia: You're still searching for the crystals? WoL: The crystals are our hope. WoL: We have no intentions of stopping until we find them. Ultimecia: How sad... Ultimecia: Throwing your life away for Cosmos' fabrications. Ultimecia: To sacrifice yourself for a thing like that is beyond stupid. WoL: Are you done talking? Ultimecia: What?

Sephiroth: If you stray too close to the light, you're going to get burned. *Sephiroth continues to walk off.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 033 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on WoL standing alone. Ultimecia teleports next to him.* Ultimecia: Do you think everything will be over if you win...? Ultimecia: There's nothing you can do. Ultimecia: Even if you fight until you drop, there is no hope for this world. WoL: If you're trying to shake my resolve, it's no use. WoL: There are others who share my resolve, as well. Ultimecia: You don't know a thing, do you? WoL: What? Ultimecia: The others are suffering right now... Ultimecia: They are losing sight of what they are fighting for. Can you really believe in such helpless companions? Ultimecia: In realizing your own limits... Ultimecia: There is only profoundly dark despair. Ultimecia: Where neither hope nor future can be found! *Ultimecia teleports away.* WoL: "Right now, the path to the crystals is definitely unclear." WoL: "The path to the future, as well..." WoL: However, there is still a future. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. I (PART 3-2) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *WoL destroys the Stigma of Discord.* WoL: Hmm, that is... *WoL approaches Squall.* WoL: ...Squall, are you alone? Squall: If I'm not completely alone, I cannot face my true enemy, and then I can't obtain my crystal. Cosmos said so. WoL: ...Cosmos did? *Scene switches to Golbeza talking to Cosmos.* Golbeza: In other words... you are aware of it? Cosmos: Yes. I am also aware of the consequences... But as long as the Crystals have light, they will not disappear. Golbeza: But this is such a dangerous gamble. No, rather... Is this the way a goddess should behave? Cosmos: ... Golbeza: When the God of Discord or the Goddess of Harmony is defeated, the dragon will descend and restart everything. Golbeza: The defeated god will revive, the soldiers will return, and... the war will begin anew. And the cycle... Golbeza: What you plan to do is only a temporary solution. If your last hope were to fail... Without the light, they would meet their true demise. Cosmos: Their true demise... Are you saying they would be doomed to a fate of eternal discord? Golbeza: Yes... They would drown in an eternity of despair. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 034 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Frioniel, Cecil, and Tidus after a fight. Tidus sheathes his sword.* Tidus: All right! Another one down! Frioniel: We sure straightened them out. Tidus: Piece of cake, dude! Tidus: I'll kick all of Chaos' goons' asses! Cecil: You guys sure are reliable. Tidus: Ah! Tidus: Golbeza is different. I won't finish him off, bro. Cecil: (Heh.) ...My brother is strong. Frioniel: Tidus, you also have family among the enemy, right? Cecil: "Jecht"... Right? Tidus: I have NO connection with my old man. Cecil: Huh? Tidus: I want to smash that guy's face in the most! Even if he begs and cries, I'll never forgive him! Cecil: But aren't you guys related by blood? That's a bit... Tidus: I didn't ask for us to be related! *Tidus runs ahead.* Tidus: "They're so annoying..." Tidus: "The day I can meet my old man again..." Tidus: "I can't stop thinking about it." |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. X (PART 1) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Tidus, Cecil, and Frioniel traveling.* Tidus: All right, full speed ahead, dudes! Frioniel: Calm down, Tidus. We're trying to figure out which way to go... What do you think, Cecil? Cecil: We need decide how to ration out our DP to collect treasures. Tidus: Let's not worry about that stuff! C'mon, let's go, dudes! *Tidus, Cecil, and Frioniel continue forward.* Tidus: All right! Next! Frioniel: Geez... You have way too much energy. Cecil: But... That's the most important thing. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. VII (PART 5) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cloud traveling.* Cloud: "Ugh... Have I lost sight of who I am again...?" Cloud: Which one...? If I defeat that enemy, I would be doing it because of Sephiroth's influence... *Cloud continues forward.* Cloud: Ugh... Get out of my head! |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 035 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Sephiroth staring into the distance. Cloud walks on screen.* Sephiroth: You came after all. Sephiroth: I told you to follow, and you followed obediently. Cloud: What? Sephiroth: You're just drifting along, acting like you're searching for a reason to fight for... Sephiroth: The reason you need to pursue a purpose is that you don't have one of your own. Sephiroth: That's why you'll jump at any purpose people give you. Cloud: What are you trying to say? Sephiroth: The others possess a volition to keep searching for the crystals no matter what happens to them. Sephiroth: But what about you? Sephiroth: You have no resolve of your own. You're just a puppet whose only purpose is to be strung along. Cloud: You're wrong. I'm... Sephiroth: Even now, you need me to give you a purpose. Sephiroth: That is what you truly wish for. Cloud: Shut up! Cloud: I don't need a reason that's given to me anymore. Cloud: From here on, I will fight for my own sake! *Sephiroth draws his sword.* Sephiroth: You who rely on memories to establish who you are... What are you saying? *Cloud draws his sword.* Cloud: Who's the one doing the relying!? |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 036 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cloud and Sephiroth crossing swords in mid-air.* Cloud: Sephiroth! *Cloud knocks Sephiroth downwards.* Cloud: You should just... *Cloud chases after Sephiroth.* Cloud: Lie here forever! *Sephiroth lands neatly on his feet and deflects Cloud's advance with a barrage of sword strikes.* Sephiroth: Accept it! *Cloud struggles to brace himself against the barrage.* Sephiroth: The one who controls your fate... *Sephiroth slides into an attack stance.* Sephiroth: Is me! *Sephiroth unleashes a vacuum through the air with his sword. Cloud crashes into the ground.* Sephiroth: If you desire despair... Sephiroth: Shall I give it to you, Cloud? Cloud: My desire... *Cloud arises and strikes a fighting stance.* Cloud: Is something I will find for myself. *Sephiroth strikes a fighting stance.* Sephiroth: You're just a puppet. *Cloud and Sephiroth stand off before beginning their battle.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 037 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on WoL and Squall standing off.* Squall: I only have one goal.

A crystal appears in the air in front of him.* Cloud: This is... my crystal. *Sephiroth teleports in.* Sephiroth: You found it. Even through the despair. Sephiroth: If you take it, you'll be even more entrenched in the fighting now. Cloud: If that is my fate... Cloud: Then I... will fulfill my own destiny. *Cloud grabs the crystal.* Sephiroth: (Heh.) Good. Sephiroth: Remember this brilliance. Sephiroth: You found your crystal through my guidance. Sephiroth: And I will guide you forever more. Cloud: I have decided on my path. Cloud: "Even if there is hesitation..." Cloud: "I will fulfill my promise to the others and find an answer for them. Until then...' Cloud: "I shall continue to fight." |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. VII (END) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Garland: ...He did not lose his memories. Rather, he got closer to the truth. Sephiroth... That man's existence has become a threat to your plan... The Emperor: ...No existence in this world is real. No, actually, that is not quite correct. I should say that we here are capable of becoming real. Garland: Emperor... Do you plan on rewriting the gods' tale of the cycle? The Emperor: Yeah... But I intend to create my own myth. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. VIII (PART 4) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Squall traveling.* Squall: I... am not fighting alone. At any rate, I need to obtain my crystal as soon as possible. If that is my mission, then I... *Squall continues forward.* Squall: Now... Who's next? *Squall continues forward.* Squall: "...I sense the presence of light. Is someone close?" |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 039 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Squall looking into the distance. WoL walks on screen.* Squall: "What an amazing guy... What presence..." WoL: Are you alone? Squall: "What business is it of his?" Squall: If I'm not completely alone, I cannot face my true enemy, and then I can't obtain my crystal. Squall: Cosmos said so. WoL: ...Cosmos did? Squall: Isn't that why you're traveling alone, too? Squall: I want to obtain my crystal as soon as possible. WoL: However, there is more than one enemy. They conspire and target us together. WoL: You're not supposed to expose weaknesses for your enemies to take advantage of, right? Squall: "He's pushing his own ideals onto me." Squall: "Stop interfering with my path." *Squall draws his sword.* Squall: I only have one goal. I couldn't care less about anything else. Squall: "If I'm not at least this determined, I can't continue down my path. *WoL draws his sword.* WoL: Why are you so determined to fight on your own...? WoL: Do you really think you can succeed on your own? *Squall and WoL begin their fight.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 040 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on an unconscious Butz who regains consciousness and stands up.* Butz: Where am I...? *Upon hearing something, Butz runs off and hides. Cefca and Kuja walk on screen.* Kuja: So, where's the quarry you've captured? Cefca: What's this? Isn't this strange? He should definitely be around here... Kuja: The only one I'm really concerned with is Zidane. Kuja: How are we supposed to keep a lookout for Zidane like this? Not only did you not help at all, but you made things worse... Cefca: But it seemed so fun, and only one tiny little thing went wrong! Kuja: Well, after we went through all that trouble to catch our mouse, we couldn't even put him to use... Butz: "I see. So that trap was meant for Zidane." Butz: "I'm glad Zidane wasn't caught," Butz: "But isn't calling me a 'mouse' a little too cruel!?" Butz: "More importantly, what are those two talking about?" Cefca: How fun! Maybe he'll prove to be a worthy opponent! Butz: I guess I'll take a look around. If things go well, I could probably find my crystal. *Butz brandishes several of his teammates' swords.* Butz: Everyone, lend me your strength! |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. V (PART 1) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Butz traveling.* Butz: All right, I've decided. If I can't get out of this trap, then... Oh, wait... If I break that stigma, I'll be able to leave! *Butz continues forward.* Butz: All right, good job! Now, off we go! *Scene switches to Kuja conversing with Exdeath.* Kuja: So... You allowed the girl and the child to escape, right? That wasn't very destroyer-like of you. Exdeath: Nothing will survive once I return everything to the void. I just thought that I would grant them glimpse of my image beforehand. Kuja: I don't understand you... But it's fine. Since you have nothing else to do, why don't we put on a play? Something along the lines of... "The Tale of the Coincidental Journey of the Wind"? Exdeath: ...I'm listening. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 041 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Squall and WoL after their battle. WoL rises to his feet.* WoL: ...You're strong. WoL: And you have no intention of using that strength to protect your comrades? Squall: Fighting together is not the only way. *Squall produces Butz's feather.* Squall: Even if we are separated, we can still support each other. Squall: Whether I want it or not, they are supporting me. Squall: And if that's the case, I will support them in my own way, as well. Squall: In order to change the tide of this war, we can each only succeed in our own paths. WoL: It seems I've misjudged you. WoL: I had thought that you chose to fight alone because you doubted your comrades' strength. WoL: It's fine if you continue down your path of isolation. WoL: Even if you continue down that path alone, we are all with you. WoL: Don't forget: we are never alone. *WoL walks off.* Squall: "Never alone...?" |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 042 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cefca and CoD watching over Tina and OK.

Tina and OK look around startled.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 043 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cecil in deep thought.* Cecil: "I thought that if I continued to search, I would obtain it." Cecil: "But now, I'm even more lost than ever." Cecil: "How exactly am I supposed to obtain my crystal?" Cecil: "If things continue like this, this world will..." *Golbeza walks on screen.* Golbeza: You seem troubled, Cecil. Cecil: Brother! Golbeza: Hold your thoughts. Have you hit a wall in your progress? Golbeza: The path to your crystal will not open up like this. Golbeza: You must put an end to your dreams. Cecil: I waver because of my dreams...? Golbeza: Hahaha! What eaxactly do all of you think the crystals are? Golbeza: The brilliance of the crystals. I see no such thing reflected in your eyes. Golbeza: If you only search by the light of determination, you won't discover it. Cecil: What do you mean by that...? *Frioniel's voice is heard off-screen.* Frioniel: Cecil, where are you? What are you doing? Golbeza: The secret of the crystals... If you wish to know it, you should follow me into the shadows. *Golbeza teleports away. Frioniel runs on screen.* Frioniel: Are you all right? Frioniel: Was that guy... Golbeza from Chaos' side? Cecil: He's also my brother... Frioniel: Even though you two are brothers, you're enemies now. What did he tell you? Cecil: That he knows the secret of the crystals. Cecil: And that if I wish to know it, I should follow him... Frioniel: Cecil, this is hard to say, but... Frioniel: If you don't watch your back, you're going to regret it. This is probably an enemy trap. Cecil: No...! *Tidus' voice is heard off-screen.* Tidus: Hey, what are you dudes doing? Frioniel: Let's go. Tidus is waiting for us. Frioniel: You should just forget about his invitation. Frioniel: I do not wish to see my friend in danger. *Frioniel runs off.* Cecil: I... |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O.

OK approaches her.* OK: Having worries? Tina: The wind has stopped. Tina: The enemies' movements and our allies presences... Tina: I can't feel them at all. Tina: This is the first time anything like this has ever happened. Tina: But I'm all right, because I am... OK: Protected. Tina: Huh? OK: I will protect you. I promise. OK: Was I too forward? Tina: Not at all. Tina: Since when were you so cavalier? Tina: Not too long ago, you were a bit more cheeky. OK: You... really don't remember? Tina: Huh? OK: Nothing. That's fine then. OK: Now, let's hurry on. *OK walks off.* Tina: "Why is he like this after I woke up...?" Tina: "It feels like I've forgotten something important." Tina: "But... What was it?" Tina: "And why can't I remember it?" Tina: "What exactly happened while I was asleep?" *OK's voice is heard off-screen.* OK: Tina, come along now. Tina: Ah... Okay. Tina: "It should come back to me eventually." Tina: "And when it does, I'll surely find my way to my crystal..." |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O.

Kuja: Those who don't know a thing shouldn't squawk. *Kuja readies a spell. Garland draws his sword in defense. Jecht walks on screen.* Jecht: Looks fun! Jecht: I want in. *Jecht joins the stand-off with his weapon drawn, as well. Kuja hesitates and dispels his spell. Kuja: I've lost interest. *Kuja flies off.* Garland: It seems we have enemies in our ranks, as well. *Garland walks off.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. IV (PART 2) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on The Emperor conversing with Golbeza.* The Emperor: Splendid work, Golbeza.

I'm looking forward to your performance... *Scene switches to Cecil, Frioniel, and Tidus traveling.* Cecil: ...The secret of the crystals, huh? Tidus: What's wrong? You don't look so good, dude. Cecil: No... It's nothing. Let's hurry. The crystals are probably nearby. Cecil: ...Should I believe in my brother? *Cecil, Frioniel, and Tidus continue forward.* Frioniel: Geez, there are a lot of enemies. How are you holding up, Cecil? Cecil: I'm all right. Cecil: ...Thank you, Frioniel. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. VI (PART 2-1) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Garland conversing with The Emperor.* The Emperor: Chaso and Comos' pieces are not set in stone... That girl is a perfect example of this. Garland: If we bring out her inner power... She will probably once again be a piece of Chaos'. The Emperor: Don't make me laugh... She will become our tool again through his schemes...? Garland: His "schemes" are the same as your "plans"... The Emperor: ...Hmph, they are not the same at all. They are on completely different levels. My plans are full-proof... My plans for a new future. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 046 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Tina and OK traveling.* Tina: Thank you for earlier. OK: Huh? Tina: For encouraging me. Tina: To tell you the truth, I was a little scared. Tina: While everyone's doing their best, I'm the only one incapable of doing anything. Tina: To be frank, I would be helpless on my own. It's so frustrating. Tina: I wonder if I'll change if I can obtain my crystal. OK: That's wrong. *OK produces his crystal.* OK: You obtain your crystal when you change. OK: A certain someone taught me that. OK: He told me that "the crystal lies in the brilliance of your determination." OK: That's why, as long as you follow your greatest desire, you'll be all right. Tina: My greatest desire? Tina: I don't know what that is yet. *OK puts away his crystal.* OK: Tina... Tina: But I'll definitely try. Tina: Just like you. Tina: Even if I lose all hope, I will definitely continue on. OK: You will definitely find it. OK: And I bet it'll be a great one. Tina: I'll be depending on you. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O.

Jecht: And when that happens, will we really be able to return to our homeworlds? The Emperor: We will be able to do anything we want... Jecht: Can... my son come with me, as well? The Emperor: Yes... I promise you. *Scene switches to Tidus, Cecil, and Frioniel traveling.* Tidus: The enemy has appeared again! Guess we're going full speed again, dudes! Cecil: Tidus... You're pretty strong. You don't hesitate at all. Tidus: Huh? Cecil: About my brother... Cecil: ...No, it's nothing. Let's hurry on ahead. *Cecil walks ahead.* Tidus: ...If that's how you feel, you should go meet him. *Tidus, Cecil, and Frioniel continue forward.* Tidus: Actually, Cecil... *Scene fades as Tidus talks to Cecil. Scene returns.* Cecil: ...! Is it really all right? Tidus: Yeah, listen to your friends. Cecil: Thank you... |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 047 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cecil in deep thought.

Cecil: I'm still trying to figure out what he was trying to tell me... Tidus: That's why you should go find him, dude! Cecil: Huh? Tidus: You really regret not going, don't you? Cecil: Yeah, my brother put himself in a lot of danger to come to me. I don't want it all to be in vain... Tidus: Stop trying to act so cool! If you want to go after him, then that's all you need, bro! Cecil: But, Frioniel will worry about me...! Tidus: This has NOTHING to do with Frioniel! Tidus: If you come right back after taking care of your business, then there will be NO problem! Tidus: I'll cover for you, so just go! Cecil: You'd do that for me? Really? Tidus: Listen to your friends! Cecil: Thank you. I'll definitely be back soon. I promise! *Cecil runs off.* Tidus: Family, huh...? Tidus: Now, I wonder how I'm going to explain this to Frioniel... *Frioniel is seen approaching Tidus from behind.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 048 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Tidus watching Cecil run off.

Err... *Various scenes where Tidus is show talking to Frioniel play during Tidus' inner monologue.* Tidus: "I was surprised. I've never seen him so mad before." Tidus: "I was the one who advised Cecil to go off on his own, after all." Tidus: "I tried every excuse. I even tried laughing it off..." Tidus: "Stuff like this is my specialty." Frioniel: So in other words, he went after Golbeza. Tidus: ...Pretty much. Tidus: That Cecil couldn't stop thinking about Golbeza. Tidus: He kept it to himself and it ate away at him... Tidus: He thought if he went to talk with his brother, he'd be able to get a definite answer. Tidus: Did I... Bomb this one? Frioniel: Well, it can't be helped, can it? Frioniel: Are you all right? Frioniel: Don't you also have a similar situation with the enemy? Tidus. Not. At. All! Frioniel: Why? Isn't he your father? Tidus: Because I hate him. Tidus: He's always been so full of himself, and he treats me like a brat... Tidus: I've always wanted to beat him down. Tidus: That's totally the only thing I want! Frioniel: I see. Then... Tidus: Let's get a move on! |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 049 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cecil and Golbeza standing off against Exdeath.

Where am I going? *Butz spots The Emperor, Ultimecia, and Sephiroth talking in the distance.* Butz: "Well, well. Wonder what they're talking about." *Butz runs to a closer hiding spot.* The Emperor: If you're wondering about the utopia, it's not far off. The problem comes afterwards. The Emperor: Won't you lend us a hand, Sephiroth? The Emperor: Aren't you fed up with the others that only cause needless and inefficient destruction, as well? Sephiroth: I'm not interested. Ultimecia: It doesn't seem like you understand your own position. Sephiroth: If that's the case, then what are you going to do about it? Butz: "What's this, what's this? Is the girl picking a fight?" *The Emperor, Ultimecia, and Sephiroth turn towards Butz's direction.* The Emperor: You, insect... What are you doing? *Butz jumps out from his hiding place.* Butz: W-Who are you calling an insect!? *Butz realizes the situation.* Butz: I-I'll remember this! *Butz runs off.* Ultimecia: Should we chase after him? The Emperor: No... There's a "light" of greater interest at hand. The Emperor: Perfect. The Emperor: Instead of getting a crystal from him, that insect will lead us to that needless destroyer. Ultimecia: Needless destroyer... You mean Exdeath, right? *The Emperor laughs.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O.

Chaos? No, it's something else..." *Cosmos teleports in.* Cosmos: Wait. WoL: Cosmos...! Cosmos: It's becoming too dangerous. The dark forces are convening. WoL: All of our enemies gathering is a convenience. We'll be able to gather all the crystals in one fell swoop. Cosmos: Recklessness is not the same thing as courage. WoL: Cowardice is not the same thing as prudence. WoL: Even if there is only hopelessness ahead, a path will definitely open up. You are the one who told me that. WoL: In this shattered world, you have shown us the light. WoL: If there is a will, there is a way... For those of us who are left, that is our greatest belief. WoL: I swore an oath: I will obtain the crystals and save the world. WoL: That determination is my only support. Cosmos: Your words have touched me.

Cecil approaches him.* Golbeza: You came, Cecil. Cecil: Why are you telling me the secret of the crystals? Golbeza: On the same note, why did you come? Golbeza: Hmhm, we really are alike. Though I am not the brother you deserve. Golbeza: Cecil, did you know that there are prerequisites for obtaining the crystals? Golbeza: I came to make sure you did. Cecil: Prerequisites? Golbeza: Yes, I... *Exdeath teleports in.* Exdeath: A family of two who were lost in the darkness. Such heartwarming brotherly love. Exdeath: You couldn't have crossed over to the enemy side, right, Golbeza? Exdeath: You weakling who still misses the light! Golbeza: This has nothing to do with you. Exdeath: No, it does. Exdeath: Because I deal with all traitors! *Cecil draws his spear.* Cecil: I won't let you lay a finger on my brother! Golbeza: Cecil...! Cecil: I don't know a thing about these prerequisites. But... Cecil: I want to show you my strength! Exdeath: You're protecting a traitor? Exdeath: Even though you know nothing, you're still acting so brotherly... Exdeath: That kind of worthless sibling togetherness sickens me! *Exdeath takes a battle stance. Cecil and Exdeath begin their fight.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 053 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Squall traveling.

Ultimecia: I've been waiting... Ultimecia: For you to obtain such splendid determination. Squall: Determination...? Ultimecia: Yes, the determination to continue down your path alone! Ultimecia: To heartlessly abandon your allies! Ultimecia: That is how I've been leading you to your crystal. Squall: I'm not abandoning anyone! Ultimecia: From the bottom of your heart, you don't believe in anyone. Ultimecia: That's why you travel alone... Right? Ultimecia: Right about now, Kuja should be taking care of Zidane and Butz. Ultimecia: It's too late to go back and save your allies now. Ultimecia: The fact that your true heart is thinking "whatever" is proof of this, isn't it? Squall: "...'Whatever', you say?" Ultimecia: That's fine. Those thoughts are natural on a battlefield. Ultimecia: Now, show me that sublime power! *Squall makes no indication of moving.* Ultimecia: ...Are you afraid? Well, that's fine. Ultimecia: I won't run or hide. Ultimecia: I'll be waiting until the time comes. *Ultimecia teleports away.* Squall: ...I'm not that easy to figure out. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 054 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cecil, Golbeza, and Exdeath after their battle. Exdeath roars and begins to fade.* Cecil: My brother... isn't anything like the rest of you! Exdeath: This doesn't change a thing. Light and darkness both stem from the same root. Exdeath: Harmony and discord will once again... *Exdeath disappears.* Golbeza: Why hasn't the crystal appeared? Cecil: Is something wrong? Golbeza: I didn't lend you a hand and you defeated Exdeath on your own. Golbeza: You have the strength to do everything on your own... Golbeza: The crystals' brilliance lies in the strong determination that people hold. Golbeza: That is the secret of the crystals. Golbeza: But the current you should be able to obtain the crystals... Cecil: Brother, I only fought to protect you... Cecil: Hey, why don't we travel together? Golbeza: What did you say...? Cecil: I want to tell my friends what I've just learned. Everyone else is searching for their crystal, too. Cecil: If we gather the crystals, the fighting will be over. And if that happens, you... Golbeza: That's enough! Golbeza: I am your shadow. Once you are tainted by darkness, you can never return to the light. Cecil: Huh...? Golbeza: You'll only be disappointed, Cecil. Golbeza: Unlike you, I am not eternally bathed in the light. *Golbeza teleports away.* Cecil: Brother...? Cecil: Why? |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O.

OK: Huh? Tina: It feels like someone... who has been responsible for all our hardships... |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 055 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Tina and OK traveling. Cefca walks on screen.* Cefca: That was quite a show you put on! Cefca: As expected of my buddy. What magnificent destruction! Tina: Cefca...! What are you scheming? Cefca: I came to ascertain your strength. Cefca: As I thought, you're more suited to serve under Chaos, aren't you? Tina: What do you mean? Cefca: What's this? You don't remember a thing! Cefca: All right, then I'll tell you. With that amazing power you possess, you hurt your precious... OK: Stop it! Cefca: Huh? What does the victim want to say? OK: (Tch!) Cefca: Such beautiful friendship... Please stop. Cefca: It's making me want to vomit! Tina: What is the meaning of all of this? It can't be... Cefca: Ding ding! It can be! Cefca: You really tore into your little friend over there. Cefca: You looked like you were having so much fun, too! And you went and forgot it all! Cefca: What a dangerous being you are! Cefca: Fighting for the sake of fighting, unable to control your power. Cefca: Running wild with your heart awakened by your power, the very epitome of destruction! Tina: You're lying... Cefca: "Lying" my ass! Look, you did something like this. *Cefca fires a tiny ball of magic that then unexpectedly creates a massive explosion right in front of Tina and OK.* Cefca: How was that? I'll show you more of the power of destruction! Cefca: Your enemies, your allies, the world. Let's destroy, no, massacre EVERYTHING together! Tina: I... *OK charges at Cefca, swinging his sword. Cefca dodges.* Cefca: What the? OK: I'll be your opponent! OK: Tina, get out of here! Tina: But...! Cefca: If you want to die so bad, then allow me...! *Cefca launches more magical explosions. After the explosions clear up, Cefca and OK are nowhere to be seen.* Tina: Where did they go? Tina: I have to go find them, but... |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 056 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cecil in deep thought.* Cecil: I should return to the others, but... *Golbeza teleports in.* Cecil: Brother, you came! Golbeza: To put you on the right path. Cecil: Huh? Golbeza: Do you think someone who clings to his friends possesses a strong determination? Golbeza: True brilliance will not come to someone who relies on other people. Golbeza: Without worrying about others, you should accomplish your goals by yourself, for yourself. Cecil: But I can't just ignore my friends if they're in trouble. Cecil: I just want to search for the crystals with everyone! Golbeza: I see. Then... *Golbeza fires off magic that strikes Cecil.* Cecil: What are you...? Golbeza: I understand now. I will rid you of your childish fantasies of bonds with other people. Golbeza: If I shatter them, you'll realize they don't have the worth you think they do. *Golbeza teleports away.* Cecil: Brother... |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. IV (PART 4-2) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Golbeza conversing with Jecht.* Jecht: ...Geez, don't you feel bad for doing that? Guiding a person isn't as easy as that, you know. Golbeza: Jecht... Did I not tell you before? Jecht: Yeah, something stupid like "enemies are enemies"... Golbeza: I am... Cecil's enemy. That is why I will not fail a second time. Jecht: But we have to fail... Do you think this is what they call "unsavable"? Golbeza: Most likely... And what do you plan to fail at? |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. VIII (PART 5) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Squall traveling.* Squall: I made up my mind long ago.

Squall walks in.* Ultimecia: You came. Ultimecia: Abandoning your friends, you came to fulfill your own desires by yourself. Squall: I came to fulfill a promise. Squall: For their sakes, as well, I cannot quit. *Squall draws his sword.* Squall: Because we believe in each other, we are able to continue down our own paths! Ultimecia: (Hmph.) Interesting. Ultimecia: Then try and continue. *Garland walks in behind Squall.* Garland: We will both be your opponents. Ultimecia: What will you do now? Are you still going to act tough? Squall: ...These conditions are fine. Squall: If I take care of the both of you here, the others will have an easier time finding their crystals. Squall: I'll show you. Squall: Even if you let me go, I'm still going to fight! *Garland's gaze leaves Squall and looks off-screen. Zidane tackles Garland.* Zidane: You're showing off too much, Squall! Squall: Zidane! Squall: Why...? Zidane: Do you need a reason to help others? Zidane: Leave the huge old man to me! Squall: "Can't you read the atmosphere...?" Squall: But... This is also fine. Squall: Sorry to keep you waiting. Now... Ultimecia: Shall we dance? |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 058 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Squall and Ultimecia. Squall is desperately trying to hit Ultimecia, but she keeps teleporting away everytime he reaches her. Frustrated, Squall changes tactics.* Squall: Fine! *Squall unleashes a large wave of energy from his sword.* Ultimecia: Time! *Ultimecia freezes time.* Ultimecia: Foolish child. *Ultimecia walks towards Squall.* Ultimecia: Everything is an illusion. Ultimecia: Hope... Friends... *Ultimecia creates magic missiles aimed at Squall.* Ultimecia: Even your life... *Ultimecia increases the number of magic missiles.* Ultimecia: All will fade like a dream. *Ultimecia unfreezes time. The magic missiles fly at Squall and he deftly deflects all of them.* Ultimecia: Such fragile things... Squall: Your power to manipulate time... Squall: I will sever it! *Squall and Ultimecia begin their fight.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. IX (PART 3) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Kuja conversing with Cefca.* Kuja: The plan is a failure thanks to you. What will you do now? Cefca: My, my... Getting quite bossy, aren't we? Newbies have no right to be so disrespectful. Kuja: ...Shut up. Do not make fun of me! Cefca: Relax... Where's your sense of humor? I'll help you out, so don't get angry. Kuja: ...Hmph, one must associate with their associates. I'm not done yet. In the end, I'll have them all bowing at my feet... *Scene switches to Zidane traveling.* Zidane: Shit... If I don't get a hold of myself... Zidane: ...No, I'll save my self-pity for later. Right now, I have to find Butz! *Zidane continues forward.* Zidane: Hey, Butz!

Zidane tackles Garland.* Zidane: You're showing off too much, Squall! Squall: Zidane! Squall: Why...? Zidane: Do you need a reason to help others? Zidane: Leave the huge old man to me! *Garland stands up.* Garldand: To choose me without any hesitation... Garland: You look down on me, boy. Zidane: It wouldn't feel right fighting a lady. *Zidane draws his blades. Garland responds in kind.* Zidane: Now, how about worrying about yourself? |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 060 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Squall and Ultimecia after their battle. Ultimecia begins to fade.* Ultimecia: You'll realize it sooner or later. Ultimecia: You cannot regain what is already lost. That is the truth of time...! *Ultimecia disappears. Zidane runs on screen.* Zidane: Squall! Squall: Zidane. I owe you one. Zidane: Don't worry about it... Zidane: Wait, this isn't the time to chat! There's big, big trouble! Squall: "You sure were relaxed when there's big trouble about..." Zidane: Butz was... Butz was...! Zidane: He was snatched away by a trap! We have to hurry and save him! Squall: Butz? I got it. Let's go. Zidane: Huh...? Really? *Squall produces Butz's feather.* Squall: I have something I have to return to him. Zidane: That's all? Squall: ...And because he's my friend. Zidane: (Heh.) Right! *A crystal appears above Squall and Zidane. Butz's feather floats out of Squall's hand and next to the crystal. The crystal then shoots a beam of light off into another direction.* Zidane: Wow... Is it pointing to where Butz is?

I owe you one. Zidane: Don't worry about it... Zidane: Wait, this isn't the time to chat! There's big, big trouble! Zidane: Butz was... Butz was...! *Scene changes. Squall and Zidane are now traveling through a different place, following the light from Squall's crystal.* Squall: So Butz fell into an enemy trap... Zidane: Sorry. It's because we were both too enthusiastic. Squall: Be careful. They're also targeting you. Zidane: If they're coming for me, I won't run away. I need to hurry and save Butz.

Cecil: He told me not to rely on others. Cecil: Am I really weak for doing so? Cecil: Am I really just holding onto childish fantasies...? Cosmos: Are you asking me for the answer? Cecil: (Yes.) Cosmos: The crystals will not shine for those who only rely on others. Cosmos: What your brother said is true. Cecil: I see... Cosmos: Don't make such a sad face. Cosmos: Don't worry. You are definitely getting closer to your crystal. Cosmos: You should realize it. Cosmos: Relying on the strength of others. Combining with the strength of others. Are these two the same thing to you? Cosmos: Because it's you, you will definitely reach the brilliance of the crystals. That is the prerequisite. Cecil: But Cosmos... Cosmos: The answer lies within you. *Cosmos fades away.* Cecil: I...

Tina: Why didn't you run away? Cloud: I couldn't just abandon you when you were suffering. Cloud: Having said that, I couldn't think of what to do. Tina: Could it be...? Tina: You fought me to calm me down from my power? Cloud: I'm sorry. I should have tried talking first. Cloud: But hindsight is twenty-twenty. Cloud: I probably should have left when you told me to. Tina: Thank you. Cloud: I don't deserve such words. There's no evidence that I did a good thing. Cloud: But really, anything would have been better than how I hesitated. Tina: But, you really did help me. Tina: The intent alone has gotten through. Cloud: Even though I hesitated, there was something I was able to do? Tina: Is something wrong? Cloud: No, it's just something I was thinking about before I came here... Cloud: Anyways, what are you going to do? Cloud: Weren't you traveling with anyone? Tina: Well... *Scene fades as Tina explains her situation to Cloud.* Cloud: I understand. I'll help you. Tina: Really? Cloud: It's to thank you for helping me realize something.

Tidus: Don't you have one? Like "becoming the world's greatest swordsman" or "defeating that guy no matter what". Tidus: Like Cloud and Cecil, who have a goal that they continue on for! Tidus: If you don't have one, it's going to be tough to continue. Frioniel: For now... I just want to end the fighting. I haven't thought about anything else. Tidus: Geez, you sure have a one-track mind, dude! Frioniel: Anything else is superfluous. Tidus: In times like these, it's best to do go forward with a bang, dude! |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. II (PART 1) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Frioniel and Tidus traveling.* Frioniel: However, even though I say I want to bring an end to this war, there is no shortage of enemies, and the goal seems so far away. Tidus: The amount of enemies means nothing! If you just focus on the goal, then you'll be all right! Frioniel: Is that right? Then let's continue down our path. *Frioniel and Tidus come across a treasure chest. Frioniel opens it and takes the contents within.* Tidus: ...Dude, is it all right to just take stuff like that? Frioniel: Why wouldn't it be!? That's all there is to it. Tidus: Geez, Frioniel. By the way... What's with the wild rose?

Golbeza: The crystals aren't something you just find by looking for them. Butz: What are you saying? You guys are just trying to make excuses! Golbeza: Believe in what you can see. If you get carried away by your heart... Golbeza: You'll only head towards your own destruction! *Golbeza fires a spell at Butz. Butz dodges.* Butz: Whoa!

Tina: Dream? *Cloud puts away Frioniel's wild rose.* Cloud: "A world where wild roses bloom". Cloud: That is his wish. Cloud: He told me... Cloud: "Because I have a dream, I will never stop fighting". Cloud: Sometimes I'm jealous of his resolve. Tina: It must be wonderful to be so certain. Tina: Cloud, what kind of dream do you have? Cloud: I don't have one. Tina: Huh? Cloud: How about you? Tina: I don't have one either. Tina: I can't think of any reason for me to preserve the future. Tina: And that's because I'm always scared. Tina: But now... Tina: Hey, how about if we share the same dream? Cloud: The same dream? Cloud: A world where wild roses bloom? Tina: Right. But not just wild roses. Tina: A world where all kinds of flowers bloom. Tina: The flowers that I like, and the flowers that the Onion Knight likes. Tina: After this talk about dreams, I've started to think about it. Tina: A future where I'm not just afraid... Tina: I want to witness such a world with everyone. Tina: If I think like that... Tina: Then even if I hesitate, my heart should not waver. Tina: The flowers that you like will also bloom... Cloud: A dream is not so easily realized. Cloud: But, that's not bad. Cloud: Then for that sake...

I'll grant this to you. WoL: ...I see. If it's like that... *WoL draws his sword and destroys the crystal.* The Emperor: My... So you would crush your own hope. The Emperor: Aren't the crystals what you gentlemen seek? WoL: I pledged to end this fight with my own hands. WoL: The crystal comes from that strength. WoL: Not from the mercy of my enemies.

Tina: No matter how much power I drink in, I will not be changed. Tina: I won't lose sight of anything ever again! Cefca: (Oh, she's done talking.) Hmph, if that's the case... *CoD teleports in.* CoD: Then we will simply destroy everything! *CoD fires a few spells at Cloud. Cloud deflects them with his sword.* Tina: Cloud! CoD: Now what will you do? CoD: Will the two of you drown in our power? Or... *OK runs on screen.* OK: Make that the three of us! Tina: You're all right! OK: I told you I would protect you. OK: Now, leave this stubborn woman to us! Tina: Right. I... Cefca: If you just give in to your power, you'll become a much better toy. Tina: What kind of person are you!? Cefca: But this is fine. Cefca: I love killing cowards who won't hurt a fly! |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 072 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cefca chasing Terra and launching spells at her.* Cefca: C'mon, let's play! *Cefca unleashes a new barrage of spells.* Cefca: Dance! Dance! *Cefca continues the chase, delivering his trademark laugh.* Cefca: Let the party begin! *All of the spells Cefca had fired converge on Tina. At the last minute, she teleports away.* Cefca: Was that it? Boooring! *Scene changes to another location where Tina reappears. She leans against a tube for support.* Tina: At this rate, everyone's hope will be... *Cefca pops up on the other side of the tube, his sinister face visible through the glass.* Cefca: Things like that are just trash! Cefca: I'll destroy EVERYTHING for you! *Cefca shatters the tube.* Tina: I won't forgive you no matter what! *Tina and Cefca begin their fight.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 073 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on WoL and The Emperor after their battle.

What a splendid motive. *The Emperor begins to fade.* The Emperor: But would you still say that if you knew the whole truth...? *The Emperor disappears.* WoL: Where did he go...? *Garland walks on screen.* Garland: Looks like it's my turn. WoL: You...! WoL: Garland...! Garland: What are you so surprised about? Garland: No matter how many times you strike me down, I will always return. Garland: It is as this world wishes. It is our destiny... WoL: What do you mean? Garland: If you wish to learn the truth behind this battle... Come. *Garland teleports away.* WoL: Wait!

Cecil walks on screen.* Golbeza: Your aura has changed... It looks like you've decided. Cecil: Yeah. I will stay with my friends. Golbeza: What did you say? Cecil: Brother... I don't travel with my friends because I rely on their strength. Cecil: Of course their strength becomes mine, as well. They encourage me and worry about me. Cecil: That's why I want to become their strength, as well! Cecil: There is strength in being together with everyone, as well... Cecil: I truly believe in that! Golbeza: It seems we disagree. Cecil: Brother...! Golbeza: You are a knight. If you want to uphold your beliefs... Golbeza: You must do so with your sword, my brother! *Golbeza and Cecil both strike fighting stances.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 075 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Cecil and Golbeza.

Golbeza dodges.* Golbeza: How naive, Cecil.

Cloud: We don't have time to rest. Cloud: The others should be on their own journeys right now. Tina: Right. From here on, the battle... Tina: Everyone, let's go! Tina: "Even trivial dreams are good." Tina: "With just that, people can become stronger." Tina: "That strength will definitely..." Tina: "...Lead towards new dreams." |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. V (PART 4) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Exdeath conversing with Golbeza.* Exdeath: So that is your plan this time...? You even included the Goddess of Harmony? Golbeza: Do you not think it coincides with The Emperor's plan? Is not following my plan the same thing? Exdeath: Yes... As far as the crystal bearers go. Golbeza: Do you know something that you are not telling me? If it is about your love of the void... Exdeath: Fafafa...! What I know does not change a thing. It is of little importance. The thing I really desire... is a true ending. *Scene switches to Butz traveling.* Butz: What was that armor guy trying to say? I wonder what he meant by "seek your brilliance elsewhere"...? Butz: ...Oh well. Anyways, what allowed me to escape earlier? The presence of light? I don't quite get it, but I'm grateful. *Butz continues forward.* Butz: Dammit... I wanna show Zidane my crystal as soon as possible! Butz: Ugh, I can't wait to see the look on his face! |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 077 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Butz. Zidane and Squall run on screen.* Zidane: Butz! We finally found you! Butz: Zidane! And Squall's here, too!? Squall: Looks like nothing happened. Butz: No, I ran into a ton of strong guys. Wait, check this out! *Butz takes out the crystal he snatched.* Butz: I snatched this away from them. I guess I win our competition! Zidane: What!? And I was really worried about you, too... Lemme see that! *Zidane grabs the crystal in Butz's hand.* Squall: Wait! That's...! *The moment Zidane grabs the crystal, a beam of light engulfs him and he suddenly vanishes.* Butz: Zidane!? *An ominous laugh is heard. Exdeath walks on screen.* Exdeath: Did you really think it was that easy to obtain a crystal? Exdeath: It was a fake that I produced from nothing. *Squall draws his sword.* Butz: What did you say? Exdeath: You all played along perfectly to Kuja's plan. Exdeath: Right about now, Zidane is being reduced to nothing at the hands of Kuja. Butz: You used me...? Squall: Do you think Zidane will be so easily defeated? Exdeath: Hmph! You're wasting your breath! You guys will soon follow after him! Exdeath: Attack them... Fake soldier Imitations! *Exdeath summons the imitations.* Squall: Are you ready? Squall: Butz! Butz: Ah... Yeah. Squall: We have to regroup at once.

Golbeza is kneeling on the floor.* Golbeza: Is this the strength of your beliefs...? *A crystal appears in front of Cecil.* Cecil: The crystal! Cecil: The brilliance that both of us have found... *Cecil grabs the crystal.* Golbeza: Nonsense. You found it on your own. Cecil: But... Golbeza: This is nothing more than a symbol. How far can you really maintain this brilliance? *Golbeza teleports away.* Cecil: Brother... Cecil: No matter what trials lie ahead, I will stand and face them together with everyone else. Cecil: "And some day, with you, as well, brother..." Cecil: "Because it is my bonds with others that guide me." Cecil: I will continue to believe. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. IV (END) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on The Emperor conversing with Exdeath.* The Emperor: ...I see. So Golbeza let him go free. Exdeath: Yes, that is what I saw. He truly is a traitor... The Emperor: It was only a matter of time before the light within him revealed itself. Good thing we took measures beforehand. We will have to take care of this before Shinryuu moves again. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 079 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Butz. Zidane and Squall run on screen.* Zidane: Butz! We finally found you! Butz: Zidane! And Squall's here, too!? Squall: You seem all right. Butz: No, I ran into a ton of strong guys.

Lemme see that! *Zidane grabs the crystal in Butz's hand.* Squall: Wait! That's...! *The moment Zidane grabs the crystal, a beam of light engulfs him and he suddenly vanishes.* Butz: Zidane!? *Scene changes. Zidane is now alone. Kuja teleports in.* Kuja: So we finally meet again. Zidane: Kuja! Kuja: Your friend was a splendid pawn... He delivered my trap to you without ever questioning it. Zidane: So this was all your doing, huh...? Where are my friends!? Kuja: You're worrying about others in your current situation? Zidane: ...I always do. Zidane: Answer me. Kuja: Aren't you the only one who's unsettled? Kuja: What would you do if everything that was precious to you should suddenly vanish? Zidane: What? Kuja: Since we are burdened with the same fate, I wanted to test something. Kuja: When you realize your own powerlessness, will your heart also be broken? Zidane: Grr... Kuja: Right now, even though your friends are being hurt, you can't do a thing about it. Kuja: Like an imprisoned bird in a cage, all you can do is listen to your friends' screams... Zidane: Shut up! Kuja: And I shall take my time viewing your solo performance. *Kuja teleports away.* Zidane: Everyone... |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O.

Tidus, let's split up. Tidus: Got it! All right, see you later! Frioniel: Yeah, we'll meet over there. Don't exhaust yourself being too energetic. *Tidus continues forward.* Tidus: Should I stop for another breather? I wonder if Frioniel has arrived at the meeting spot already. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 080 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Tidus after a battle.* Tidus: All right!

Tidus: Like hell I'm scared! *The Emperor teleports in.* The Emperor: ...Wait. The Emperor: Tch... You showed up, your majesty? The Emperor: Your son is only fighting out of hatred. The Emperor: That isn't part of our plan. Jecht: Geez, this is annoying. Tidus: What're you guys going on about!? Jecht: (Sigh) We'll have to postpone our match. We'll do it later. *Jecht walks off.* Tidus: Wait! Are you running away!? The Emperor: (Hmph.) You hate your own father? Tidus: Get out of my way! The Emperor: Then you should direct that hatred towards me. *Tidus and The Emperor begin their fight.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O.

Frioniel: I don't get it... When I came to, it was here. Cosmos, do you know how this happened? Cosmos: I also do not know... But I feel a mysterious power at work. Cosmos: I cannot quite discern what it is, but it feels like a power that I have been familiar with for a long time... Frioniel: ...Wild rose. What a sweet sound... *Scene switches to the present. Garland and Golbeza are conversing.* Garland: Do not let your personal feelings get in the way. Was that flower your doing? Garland: While we are on the topic of trickery, the others will not go back on their decision about time. Golbeza: It is unnecessary to have old times relapse. If we can reach new times, then... Garland: Even if it can be saved next time? Golbeza: Now... If that were to be the case... *Scene switches to Frioniel and Tidus traveling.* Frioniel: There sure are a lot of enemies... Tidus, let's split up. Tidus: Got it! All right, see you later! Frioniel: ...I wonder if I should be as carefree as he is. *Frioniel and Tidus split up. Frioniel battles his way forward.* Frioniel: Phew, that was dangerous... Maybe splitting into two groups was a bad idea? I hope Tidus is all right. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 081 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Frioniel after a battle.* Frioniel: (Phew.) I'm done over here. Frioniel: (Huh?) Tidus! Where are you!? *Jecht walks on screen.* Jecht: (Hmph.) That brat was always a handful. Frioniel: You're... Tidus' father, right? What did you do to him? Jecht: I didn't do a thing. If I were to fight him now, it wouldn't mean a thing. Frioniel: Tidus' sole desire is to fight you. Did you run away from him? Jecht: That's not very funny. Jecht: All these interferences have put me in a bad mood. Fight with me for a bit! *Frioniel and Jecht begin their fight.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 082 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Tidus and The Emperor after their fight.* The Emperor: If you fight only for hate, you will not obtain your crystal.

Tidus: "Did he run away...?" Tidus: "That's not the problem." Tidus: "The thing that I'm mad about the most..." Tidus: Is him telling me what to do... Just like my old man. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 083 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Frioniel and Jecht after their fight. Frioniel is kneeling on the floor.* Jecht: You aren't done yet? Good, let's keep going then! Frioniel: ...I won't fight you. Jecht: Huh? What did you say? Frioniel: I understand now. Frioniel: Your true opponent isn't me. It's Tidus! Frioniel: If you're fighting me as a replacement for him, why are you unable to face his determination!? Jecht: Boy, you have quite a mouth. Jecht: However, you hit home. Frioniel: Where are you going!? Jecht: I know what I must do now. It's all because of a certain someone's meddling. Jecht: As I thought, in troubled times like these, it's best to go forward with a bang! *Jecht walks off. Tidus runs on screen.* Tidus: Frioniel! Are you all right? Frioniel: ...I see. As expected of father and son. You two are just alike. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. X (PART 4-1) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Jecht conversing with Golbeza.* Golbeza: It seems you have something you want to cast off, Jecht... Jecht: ...I'm not sure what I should do. If we go through with this plan, will we really be able to return to our homeworlds? Golbeza: Return to our homeworlds... And you would really be satisfied with just that? Golbeza: Do you believe in that man's words so much so that you would betray your own feelings? Jecht: Tch... I... |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 084 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Frioniel staring after Jecht. Tidus runs towards him.* Tidus: Frioniel! Are you all right? Frioniel: ...I see. As expected of father and son. Frioniel: You two are just alike. Tidus: My old man? Tidus: Was he... here? Frioniel: Until just a second ago. Frioniel: We crossed swords and then he left. Frioniel: Defeating him is your duty, not mine. Frioniel: Now, let's go settle this! Tidus: ...Yeah. Frioniel: What's wrong? Tidus: Hey, you know that gold-gilded... Emperor? Tidus: He said something to me. Tidus: "If you fight only for hate, you will not obtain your crystal". Tidus: ...What do you think that means? Frioniel: The Emperor's words are only tools for tricking people. Frioniel: You should just follow your heart. Frioniel: You're determine to fight your father, right? Tidus: ...No doubt! Frioniel: See? You have no hesitation. Your father was the same! *Frioniel walks off.* Tidus: "I have no hesitation." Tidus: "But I feel like I'm cheating..." Tidus: "Something is off." Tidus: "I really wanted to scream." Tidus: Aaaaaaaaah! Tidus: "I'll finally be able to fight my old man..." Tidus: "So why do I feel so sad?" |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O.

Kuja: You again, Garland... Have you come to look down on me, as well? Garland: ...Not at all. I am just like you... In fact, I am not the only one. Everyone is. Garland: ...The Sorceress Ultimecia, as well. We are kindred souls who carry the same fate. They have just been taking advantage of you because you are new. Kuja: ...We are all the same, you say? Is that so...? Kuja: Hm... Hmhmhmhm... Kuja: Ahahahahahahahahaha!! Kuja: ...Nice try. I have nothing in common with you inferior beings! Kuja: Just you wait and see! The one who will stand in triumph in the end... is me! |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 085 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Zidane in deep thought.* Zidane: "Everyone... What should I do?" *Cosmos teleports in.* Zidane: If you're here for a date, now's not a good time. Cosmos: Zidane, don't be afraid. Zidane: But I... Zidane: I can't do anything for my friends. Cosmos: Even in this situation, there is something you can do. Cosmos: Isn't that right? Zidane: But I think it's too late now... Cosmos: Your friends believe in you. Cosmos: They don't think you have been defeated. Cosmos: You must believe in them, too. Zidane: Believe in everyone... Cosmos: Your friends are strong. Zidane: Yeah... You're right. Zidane: They won't be done in so easily. Zidane: Everyone will surely be all right. Zidane: That is something I can do right now! Zidane: Thank you, Cosmos. Zidane: I'm usually the one who cheers up the ladies. How uncool of me. Cosmos: Your kindness is your... (strength). *Cosmos fades away.* Zidane: Cosmos! Zidane: I... won't hesitate anymore. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O.

If I take more control over the situation... |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 086 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Butz and Squall traveling.* Squall: What's wrong? Butz: This is all my fault. I gave Zidane a trap, even though he came to save me. *Squall produces Butz's feather.* Squall: Right now, it looks like you need this more. *Squall hands Butz his feather back.* Butz: This is... Squall: This guy got me out of a lot of tight spots. It's my good luck charm. Squall: When you disappeared, Zidane searched desperately for you. Squall: What will you do? *An ominous laugh is heard. Exdeath teleports in.* Exdeath: It's useless no matter where you go! *Squall draws his sword.* Butz: I'll take it from here. Squall: Butz... Butz: I'll settle this. And I'll see it through with my own strength! Squall: When this is over, let's both go meet Zidane. Butz: Yeah, with massive smiles. *Squall walks off.* Exdeath: There's nowhere left for you to run.

Exdeath teleports in front of him.* Exdeath: Stop playing around! *Butz rushes Exdeath, but Exdeath uses magic to control his sword from afar. Butz clashes repeatedly with Exdeath's sword, staving off its attack. Exdeath then delivers a critical blow that knock Butz off his feet and disarms him.* Exdeath: You won't be able to beat me if you're just messing around. *Butz leaps back to his feet and draws a different sword.* Butz: From the very beginning... *Exdeath lets out an amused laugh. Butz draws a second sword.* Butz: I've been serious! *Butz charges at Exdeath.* Butz: Now, let's get to the main event! Butz: Let's go! *Butz's assault slowly forces Exdeath towards a ledge. As Exdeath is about to slip, he teleports away.* Exdeath: Fool. Exdeath: I can warp between dimensions. Butz: This will be fun! *Butz leaps down after Exdeath.

Zidane: I believe in them. Kuja: You believe? In other people? Are you saying you wanna go back to playing with your little buddies? Zidane: Having faith in one another isn't a game. Zidane: Do you have any friends? Kuja: Friends? Kuja: Don't confuse me with the likes of you! Zidane: But... *Kuja fires a few spells at Zidane, who promptly dodges.* Kuja: (Sigh) I'm disappointed. Kuja: And I had been looking forward to see you drown in hopeless despair... Kuja: How awful.

There seems to be a particularly large number of enemies ahead. Tidus: Don't worry, dude! If it's me... I'm always good to go! *Frioniel and Tidus continue forward.* Frioniel: Hey, Tidus, what's your goal in life? Tidus: ...Huh? Frioniel: You know, a reason to continue down your own path.

Jecht: After all is said and done, you either do it or you don't. *Jecht staggers off.* Frioniel: I guess you can't fight family after all. Tidus: That's not it. Tidus: My desire to crush him hasn't changed. Tidus: But if I beat my old man like this... It'll feel wrong. Tidus: If I'm going to win... Tidus: Frioniel. Tidus: I'm sorry, but I want to continue alone. Frioniel: What? Tidus: I want to see this to the end on my own. Frioniel: Everyone's going their own way... *Frioniel produces a potion in his hand.* Frioniel: Take this. Frioniel: It's a potion I was saving up. Use it wisely. Tidus: Thank you, Frioniel. Tidus: Sorry for being so selfish... Tidus: This is my story. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 093 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Frioniel and Tidus talking.* Tidus: I'm sorry, but I want to continue alone... Frioniel: Don't worry about it. You choose how your story unfolds. Tidus: I'm going to go settle things with my old man. Frioniel: Yeah, come back safe! *Tidus runs off.* Frioniel: We each have our own path, huh? *The Emperor teleports in.* The Emperor: So, your friends have abandoned you one by one, and now you're all alone, eh? Frioniel: Emperor...! Frioniel: Everyone just went to take care of the things they had to! The Emperor: (I see.) Then, what is it that you have to take care of? Frioniel: I've decided... That I will bring an end to this battle! The Emperor: Bring an end to this battle...? Don't proclaim such impossibilities. The Emperor: This man says he wants to bring an end to this battle. *Ultimecia teleports in.* Ultimecia: Then there's something we must tell you: wishing for an end is futile. *Frioniel and Ultimecia begin their fight.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 094 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Zidane, Butz, and Squall resting. All of them are examining their crystals.* Zidane: So... Zidane: How did everyone get their crystals? Squall: I got mine through the hope born from Cosmos' words. Zidane: (Hmm.) *Butz sees the reflection of Cosmos' face in his crystal. When he turns around to look, nothing is there. He turns back to his crystal and discovers that the reflection is gone, as well.* Zidane: (Huh?) What's wrong? Butz: Nothing... Butz: A mirage? |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 095 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Frioniel after his battle. Ultimecia teleports in front of him.* Ultimecia: Didn't I tell you it was futile? Frioniel: What!? Ultimecia: This endless cycle is a result of a battle between gods. Do you really think you have the power to affect it? *The Emperor walks on screen.* The Emperor: How pitiful. After all, the dream of the crystals is just a dream. The Emperor: In the end, all the effort of you and your friends will amount to nothing. Frioniel: I... won't let everyone's efforts go to waste! Frioniel: I will obtain my crystal, and then bring an end to this fight... The Emperor: Is that truly your intention? Frioniel: What are you saying...? The Emperor: That is why you're weak. The Emperor: Fighting for the words of others. You're merely a tool of Cosmos. *The Emperor and Ultimecia teleport away.* Frioniel: I'm... A tool of Cosmos...? |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O.

Tidus runs on screen.* Jecht: Yo... Have you decided to go through with this now? Tidus: I have. *Tidus pours the potion on Jecht. Jecht's injuries vanish.* Jecht: What the hell are you doing? Jecht: Are you pitying me!? Tidus: It didn't feel right. Tidus: Beating you when you were weak... Tidus: I could take a good-for-nothing bum like that any time! Tidus: But... Tidus: The guy who won't lose to anyone. The strongest in the world... Tidus: That's the you I want to beat! Jecht: ...It seems you're no longer a puny brat. Jecht: Do you have any regrets? Tidus: It's because I have no regrets that I'm fighting. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 097 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Tidus and Jecht facing off.* Jecht: Shall we get started!? Tidus: Of course! *Tidus flips towards Jecht and lands with a powerful strike. However, Jecht takes the attack and hardly flinches. Jecht backhands Tidus, but Tidus dodges. The force of Jecht's attack creates a vacuum that pushes Tidus far back. Tidus lands on his feet.* Jecht: Oh? Tidus: Is that all you got? Jecht: All right. Then... *Jecht rushes forward faster than the eye can see. In an instant, he's in Tidus' face. He throws a punch into Tidus' stomach that launches Tidus several meters away. Tidus loses consciousness. Jecht walks over to Tidus' unconscious form and takes a seat next to him.* Jecht: I don't go easy on people, ya know? Jecht: Well, there's no one who can beat the great Jecht. Jecht: You're just a brat... Jecht: You had guts challenging someone with limitless power like me, though. Jecht: You'll be able to stand again tomorrow. *Jecht stands up and begins to leave. Tidus regains consciousness and pulls himself to his feet.** Tidus: Don't run away. Tidus: It's not over. If I don't surpass you... Tidus: Tomorrow will never come! Jecht: Geez, you sure are stubborn, aren't you? *Jecht turns around to face Tidus.* Jecht: Just like your old man! Tidus: Let's end this! *Tidus charges at Jecht.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 098 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Tidus and Jecht after their battle. Jecht is kneeling on the floor.* Jecht: ...You beat me. Tidus: Old man! *Jecht begins to fade.* Tidus: What is this? Tidus: You're leaving again...? Jecht: Well... Tidus: ...I hate you. *Tidus' voice starts cracking up as he begins to sob between his words.* Tidus: I hate you... Tidus: I always thought it was good that you weren't there. Tidus: But the truth is... Tidus: I only became strong... Tidus: So you would... Tidus: Approve of me. Tidus: That's all I ever wanted to tell you... Jecht: Geez, do you always have to be such a brat? Tidus: ...I can't help it. Tidus: I'm your son, after all. Jecht: ...Well said. Jecht: Hey, you crybaby... Jecht: You've become strong. *Jecht disappears. A crystal appears in front of Tidus and he grabs it.* Tidus: Ah... Tidus: ...This is... Tidus: I got it. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 099 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Frioniel staring off into the distance. Cosmos teleports in.* Frioniel: Cosmos...! Cosmos: Cloud, Cecil, and Tidus have all obtained their crystals without incident. Frioniel: They did it! Cosmos: Yes, because they all continued down their own paths... Frioniel: Their own paths, huh? Cosmos: Have you lost sight of yours? Frioniel: I... don't have a father to surpass, a brother to fight together with, or a definite goal. Frioniel: I've just been fighting recklessly to try and bring an end to this battle. Frioniel: It's just as The Emperor said: I'm just a tool with no will of my own. Even though he told me, there's nothing I can do about it. Cosmos: No, you have a symbol, as well. You have a feeling that you've always been carrying within your breast. Frioniel: I don't have a splendid thing like that. Only a vague and childish dream. Cosmos: Tell me, what is the future your heart desires the most? Frioniel: Wild roses... Frioniel: A world where wild roses bloom. That is my dream. Frioniel: When the world is free of strife, it will be covered in flowers. Frioniel: A world where we can overcome the things we have lost, a world where the rain and the storm are the only destructive powers, that is the world I wish to create... Cosmos: What a wonderful dream. Cosmos: You live for your own beliefs. If you were a tool who only fights, you wouldn't possess such dreams. Frioniel: Cosmos... Frioniel: You're right. This is my own dream. And I will seize it. Cosmos: I want to see such a dream come true, too... *Cosmos fades away.* Frioniel: I'll show it to you. Definitely. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. II (PART 4) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Frioniel: "During the course of war, there are many who lose their lives. Perhaps to protect their friends. Perhaps for those in power. Frioniel: However, when they lose their lives... there will definitely be those who mourn their loss." Frioniel: If they see the wild roses bloom, then they will be able to smile naturally again. That is the kind of peaceful world I am going to make possible...! *Frioniel destroys the Stigma of Discord.* Frioniel: Now, here I go. For Cosmos' dream... and mine, as well! |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 100 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on The Emperor. Frioniel approaches him.* The Emperor: Here comes the tool of war without a purpose. What do you want? Frioniel: I'm not a tool. I am fighting for the sake of my dream! The Emperor: The wild rose? You're throwing your life away for such a foolish dream. The Emperor: You don't even have the strength to realize it. *The Emperor fires a few spells at Frioniel, bringing him to his knees.* The Emperor: What's wrong? Is your dream over already? *Cloud and Tidus walk on screen and shield Frioniel.* Cloud: It's not over yet! Cloud: You've been left alone for too long. Tidus: Our friends' dreams are our dreams... Tidus: We'll protect it together! *The Emperor fires a few more spells and Frioniel, Tidus, and Cloud deflect them.* The Emperor: Time is up. *The Emperor teleports away.* The Emperor: Come after me, Frioniel! Show me the extent of your determination! Cloud: Cecil and Tina should be arriving soon, but... Tidus: You want to go on your own, don't you? Frioniel: I will see this to the end. Frioniel: This is... Cloud: The symbol of your dream. Tidus: Everyone's awaiting your return. Frioniel: I'll be back! |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O. II (PART 5) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Garland and Sephiroth conversing.* Sephiroth: Every time, we cling to the same things... We aim for the same things... Like puppets with their strings being pulled. Garland: ...Thus is the nature of the cycle. Sephiroth: And the light has also come to save you again. Is it because he knows not the true nature of the cycle that he always wants to break it? Garland: ...Everything is futile... Nothing matters compared to the "Grand Purpose". *Scene changes to Frioniel traveling.* Frioniel: ...I have friends that support me. I will definitely succeed! *Frioniel nears The Emperor.* Frioniel: I've cut through. I will continue down this path we must walk...! |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 101 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Frioniel traveling. The Emperor walks on screen.* The Emperor: You came. Frioniel: I won't lose to someone like you who treats people like tools! The Emperor: To cling to such foolish dream... I'll erase these delusions for you. The Emperor: You're better off as a simple tool. Frioniel: Never. I have friends who share my dream. Frioniel: Because of them, this dream is indestructible. You cannot erase our hope for the future! The Emperor: Then... I will take away everything. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 102 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Frioniel and The Emperor fighting. Frioniel is caught in a magical trap.* Frioniel: What!? *The trap converges on Frioniel.* Frioniel: Damn! *Frioniel cries out in pain as he is struck, and The Emperor laughs. When the dust clears, Frioniel collapses to the floor. The Emperor readies more spells.* The Emperor: You should discard your delusions and accept my rule. *Frioniel's scattered weapons float off the floor and fly towards The Emperor. They also fly through The Emperor's readied spells and disperse them.* The Emperor: What!? *The Emperor finds himself surrounded by Frioniel's weapons. Frioniel rises to his feet.* Frioniel: Power that only hurts people is meaningless. *Frioniel charges at The Emperor.* Frioniel: I... *The weapons fly into Frioniel's hands.* Frioniel: Have a dream that I'm willing to give my life for! The Emperor: What can an insect like you do? Frioniel: My belief in the future... Frioniel: Is the only thing that keeps me going. *Frioniel and The Emperor begin their fight.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |D.O.

You seem to be prepared to learn the truth. Garland: However, you are the only one on your team who has yet to obtain his crystal... Garland: Do you think you can defeat me even though you cannot even accomplish your mission!? WoL: I must believe in the light... No matter how many times I must cross swords with all of you, my heart will not waver! Garland: The time has come. As is our predestined fate... With my power that surpasses time... I shall carve your body. You will all die here while I continue to live on forever! *WoL advances towards Garland.* WoL: Let us end this, Garland... We shall settle our destined battle! |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 103 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Garland at his throne.

Garland: The endless cycle of death and rebirth in this eternal battle. WoL: Endless? Garland: That's right. Garland: Like the gods' cycle of death and rebirth, our battle shall continue forever! Garland: That is the truth of this world! That is our unalterable fate! Garland: You should abandon such foolish things as hope! Garland: Accept this endless cycle. At least fighting is fun, right? WoL: You're pitiful, Garland. Garland: ...What did you say? Garland: You are bound to this hopeless destiny of battle. WoL: Such pathetic words. WoL: We will definitely overcome this battle. WoL: I may seem trapped in this eternal battle. WoL: But now that I know the truth, I will overcome it. WoL: I fight only to end this eternal cycle! Garland: Even if you defeat me here, it will be nothing but another turn in the cycle! *WoL draws his sword.* WoL: No matter what the fate of the world is... I will never give up! WoL: I will settle this battle once and for all and save you from this cycle! Garland: Save me? Don't spout such nonsense! *Garland draws his sword.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DESTINY ODYSSEY 104 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on WoL and Garland fighting. Garland destroys the surrounding ruin to create an avalanche over WoL. WoL effortlessly slashes his way through the falling debris. WoL then summons beams of light.* WoL: Light! *The beams of light destroy the remaining debris.* Garland: This fight is eternal! *Garland slams the floor, causing the land to reform itself. WoL slashes his way towards Garland and strikes at him. Garland blocks WoL's attack.* Garland: Of course we cannot agree! It is our eternal destiny to fight! *WoL and Garland clash swords several times.* WoL: Destiny... Ends here.

Garland: The crystals have the power to sever the chains of time. WoL: Right. The power to end this battle. Garland: And the existence of the gods. WoL: What did you say? Garland: When all the crystals are gathered, what happens to the gods? Garland: When the eternal cycle is broken, what happens to this world? Garland: Even the gods cannot foresee it. A future steeped in discord has begun... Garland: Should we meet again, it won't be far off...! *Garland disappears amidst ominous laughter.* WoL: "The cycle isn't over."

They look up to find Chaos looming over them.* Cosmos: Chaos...! *Tidus charges at Chaos, but a single glance from Chaos brings Tidus and all the other heroes to their knees.* Chaos: So now you're all doomed to wander and struggle about purgatory as well... Chaos: How unsightly, Cosmos. Cosmos: You are not the one who decides our path. Cosmos: They must know true darkness... Chaos: As you wish...

Ultimecia: I am using this eternal war to gather sufficient power. After all, I only have one true goal... Ultimecia: ...However, something feels wrong this time.

But we have granted Cosmos a "perfect death". The Emperor: It is vastly different from the "artificial deaths" up until now. Cosmos' soldiers are now erased for good. And so are we... Jecht: ...What do you mean? The Emperor: We serve no more purpose. We will most likely be extinguished like they were. The war... will finally truly be over... Jecht: Hey, hey... I didn't agree to this. Jecht: Was annihilating everyone your plan all along? Is that what you asked all of us pieces of Chaos to do? The Emperor: It seems there has been a great misunderstanding.

And your body of darkness has a special aptitude. The Emperor: Just as I had planned, you became the opposition to your son's light. The Emperor: Now, until it is snatched away from me... You should tremble in awe... I have obtained power that surpasses the gods' expectations! Jecht: ...I see. So my gut feeling that this whole thing was wrong wasn't off. The Emperor: You... Where are you going? Jecht: I get it. I was your tool. So... Now I can fight with peace of mind. The Emperor: ...Hmph. You are a poor sport. There is no power that can stop the end of the world... In the end, it is I who had full control over everything! *Scene switches to the heroes traveling.* Squall: ...Is everyone all right to keep fighting? Frioniel: Yeah, we're fine. We aren't alone, right? *The heroes encounter Jecht.* Jecht: Oh, good job making it this far. Jecht: It seems that boy won't be my opponent... Jecht: ...Well, that's all right. Bring it on.

Exdeath: They are items embraced by the goddess and the origin of the power of harmony... Tidus: The power of harmony? Tidus: (Gasp!) You mean...? Exdeath: That's right. They are fragments of the goddess. You could say the power of Cosmos resides in them. Exdeath: Because all of you have obtained the crystals, Cosmos lost her powers and vanished. Exdeath: Her removal from this war was the doing of the crystals. Exdeath: But there is still a remainder of light, though fleeting. Exdeath: However, that power will soon be exhausted. Butz: If the light vanishes, then we will also... Exdeath: Return to the void from whence you came! *Exdeath roars with laughter.* WoL: Cosmos... Why? Exdeath: If you can't wait to be erased, then I can return you by my own hand. Exdeath: I will erase everything, and then myself, as well...

The Emperor: ...What did you say? Golbeza: This world is created by things torn from other dimensions by the god and the goddess... You could call it a collection of fragments. Golbeza: As long as Chaos continues his reign, the fragments will be trapped in this world and eventually sink into the darkness. Golbeza: However, if Chaos was to be destroyed, the fragments would split up, and... become liberated once more. Golbeza: I will ensure that this hope is possible. They... have the power to overthrow Chaos! The Emperor: You fool...! The Emperor: You cannot defeat the Chaos, the God of Destruction. There is nothing you can do to interfere with my plan.

You are aware of it this too, are you not? Garland: However... This is not the intent of the "Grand Purpose". I have not fulfilled my sworn duty.

Garland: ...Until that is accomplished, this eternal battle will never end... *Scene switches to the heroes traveling. The heroes encounter CoD.* CoD: You came after all...

Garland: The "Grand Purpose" is... the only thing that gives my life purpose. Garland: To watch over the world... That is the duty that Chaos and Cosmos fight over. Golbeza: Duty...? Garland: Everything that has passed has been for the sake of nurturing Chaos' innate power. And... creating the ultimate weapon. Golbeza: That is... your true desire? Garland: ...Do you have something you wish to say? Golbeza: The cycle in this world is no exception. The cycle... is foreshadowing the end. Golbeza: The tale has already begun to progress... Its course can no longer be altered. Golbeza: Since that is the case, wouldn't it be all that much better if hope was to be discovered in the future? Garland: ...My cycle cannot be ended, Golbeza. I... am just a puppet... Golbeza: ... Garland: However... Such an existence can still be fun. Even if the future holds no hope... At the very least we should enjoy ourselves.

Is the reason we haven't vanished yet... because of the crystals...? Frioniel: Hey... Will we be able to change anything? Frioniel: From the very beginning, we were fated to vanish... and Cosmos kept that from us. If she knew the whole time... Isn't that a bit too cruel? Cloud: ...Not at all. If we save this world... If we cand do that... Then all the other worlds in the other dimensions will be saved, too. Then... we'll be able to go home. Tidus: Then we return to our worlds without being erased...? If we can, our dreams and hopes... won't have been for nothing, right? Cloud: ... Cloud: ...I was making that up. Tidus: Making it up!? Squall: However... It's a pleasant thought.

I want to believe it. Squall: I still believe it... For quite awhile now. OK: ...Huh? Squall: I just remembered a promise I made. I... have someone waiting for me. OK: Will you... tell me your story?

The Emperor: Do you all truly think you obtained the crystals on your own? Cecil: What are you trying to say? The Emperor: I'm saying it was all according to our plan. The Emperor: Naturally, Cosmos intended to grant all of you her power. The Emperor: But think about it: who showed you gentlemen the way during the battle? Who guided you? The Emperor: Wasn't it "us"...? WoL: What? The Emperor: Though she was weakening, Cosmos was still a goddess. The Emperor: The only way to completely destroy her was to have her relinquish her power. The Emperor: It was the ultimate plan. The Emperor: So gentlemen, congratulations on overcoming your hardships and obtaining the crystals. Zidane: Grr... The Emperor: Well, we had people among our own ranks just do as they pleased. The Emperor: But thanks to them, it was easier. The Emperor: And, of course, you gentlemen, the goddess-killing dark forces. Cecil: Is that what you truly think? Don't make fun of us! Cecil: You don't understand a thing. *Cecil and Zidane draw their weapons.* Zidane: Don't you dare taint Cosmos' sacrifice! WoL: She entrusted us with her dying wish...

If one were to do that, would one become one with the spiritual energy of this world, right? Garland: ...What is your point? Sephiroth: I was just talking about a hunch. Pay it no heed. Garland: ... Garland: ...This world is comprised of many qualities torn from other dimensions. If Chaos were to be destroyed, they would all be liberated... Garland: A new world will most likely be created in another dimension. Sephiroth: So, what you are saying is... we are going to have to journey there? When this world ends, we will have to start all over on new world... Sephiroth: ...What is that you desire in the future? Garland: Desire...? Am I even capable of desiring anything anymore?

It is such a mysterious thing. The dream seemed so real. Everyone had such tender smiles on their faces... And I passed the days so happily alongside Cosmos... Chaos: I wish I could forget it all...

Chaos: I knew it... You started all of this. Garland: No... In the very beginning... I was you... Before I, as Chaos, was led to this dimension by the "Grand Purpose".

The place that I came from... I cannot even remember my own name. Butz: If it helps... we aren't sure about anything either. Like a cloud drifting on the winds, our futures are also uncertain...

Garland: With his divine strength, Chaos will bury this world and all of you with it! WoL: This world and all of us with it? For what reason...!? Garland: Discord. To destroy all shape and form of existence. Garland: Is negating existence not the ultimate form of discord? Garland: Even if this battle were to end, there would be no celebration, no glory, no salvation, and no future. Garland: The world that Chaos snatched from the late goddess Cosmos will be reduced to nothing. WoL: Nothing... Everything will be eradicated!? Garland: (Hmhmhm.) That is the god's will... WoL: And you are all right with this? Garland: Even if the world loses its shape, the cycle will still continue. *Garland begins to fade.* Garland: Beyond time, beyond dimension, the spirit of this battle will live on forever! Garland: Farewell, soldiers of Cosmos. Next time, we will be fighting in hell... *Garland disappears.* WoL: Chaos... The next battle will be the last. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Shade Impulse 73 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Same as Shadow Impulse 72, but with Frioniel. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Shade Impulse 74 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Same as Shadow Impulse 72, but with OK. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Shade Impulse 75 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Same as Shadow Impulse 72, but with Cecil. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Shade Impulse 76 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Same as Shadow Impulse 72, but with Butz. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Shade Impulse 77 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Same as Shadow Impulse 72, but with Tina. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Shade Impulse 78 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Same as Shadow Impulse 72, but with Cloud. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Shade Impulse 79 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Same as Shadow Impulse 72, but with Squall. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Shade Impulse 80 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Same as Shadow Impulse 72, but with Zidane. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Shade Impulse 81 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Same as Shadow Impulse 72, but with Tidus. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Shade Impulse 82 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on Tidus traveling.

Jecht: Well, you don't wanna leave our match the way it is, do you? Tidus: What do you mean...? Jecht: A true ace is able to scrape a victory at the last minute. Jecht: Now, c'mon, we're losing time!

I thought you would be crushed under the despair. Cecil: Brother? Why? Golbeza: In a world full of discord... I can fulfill my wish. Cecil: Your wish...? Golbeza: It's actually something that you have grasped. Golbeza: If you wish to know... *Golbeza takes a fighting stance.* Cecil: I understand.

Golbeza: If it's you guys, you will be able to overcome anything. Golbeza: I believe all of you will succeed when the time comes. *Golbeza turns and walks away.* Cecil: Where are you going? Golbeza: I am being summoned by Chaos. That means I still harbor weakness within my heart. Golbeza: You don't need me by your side. Cecil: Please wait. *Golbeza continues without stopping.* Cecil: Wait! *Golbeza stops.* Cecil: You're dishonest, brother. Cecil: You said you believe in us. If that's the case, then...

Cefca: I WON'T TELL YOU! Tina: Stop messing around! Cefca: (Sorry.)

Cefca: More! More destruction! Tina: Stop it already! Tina: Any more destruction is meaningless! Cefca: Meaningful destruction is boring! Cefca: Meaningless destruction is fun! Cefca: If people know everything will eventually be destroyed, why do they continue to build? If they know that they will eventually die, why do they continue to live? Cefca: Once you're dead, it all becomes meaningless! Tina: Because there are things we must protect. Tina: Isn't it enough to search for meaning during your life? Cefca: It's all futile. Cefca: The world and all of you will soon be eradicated. Cefca: Life... Cefca: Dreams... Cefca: Hopes.. Cefca: Where do they come from? Where do they go? Cefca: All of these things are empty and unsatisfying! Cefca: I'll destroy them all.... I'll spend my brilliant life destroying them all! *Cefca starts fading.* Cefca: Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Cefca: Destroy EVERYTHING! *Cefca disappears in a fit of sorrowful laughter.* Tina: A shattered heart... Tina: Was he destroying to fill a void within himself?

Cloud: I don't remember ever relying on you. Sephiroth: (Hmph.) You've become soft, Cloud... *Sephiroth turns to face Cloud.* Sephiroth: You've become infected with this disease called despair. Sephiroth: Your half-hearted desire is just another painful product of this bitter, harsh world. Cloud: Even so... It is a pain I must carry. Cloud: If I run away, I won't be able to move forward. Sephiroth: If that is your wish... *Sephiroth draws his sword.* Sephiroth: Drown in your pain. Sephiroth: Bow, and show me what you look like when you beg for forgiveness. *Cloud responds in kind.

Cloud: That is my own volition. *Cloud points sword at Sephiroth.* Cloud: I have no ties to you anymore! *Sephiroth gently lowers Cloud's sword.* Sephiroth: However, my shadow will forever remain in your heart. Sephiroth: We shall meet again, Cloud. Sephiroth: No matter how much you think you're in control, I will always be controlling you... *Sephiroth disappears.* Cloud: Mind your own business.

You should all worship me! Squall: ...I'll do this on my own. *Squall draws his sword.* Ultimecia: Why do you interfere? Ultimecia: I'm just creating a world I desire, just like you... Squall: Probably. Squall: But I have a promise I want to keep. Ultimecia: Then that will also become a part of my compressed world. Ultimecia: How sad. You have the worst luck, being a miserable child born of my world... Squall: If that's the case, then the one with the worst luck is you...

Everything is fated to disappear...! *Ultimecia tries to control time again, but Squall rushes in and finishes her off before she can succeed.

Kuja: Do you wish to continue even though you have lost everything? Zidane: A lady entrusted me with the future. If I were to run away now, I wouldn't be able to call myself a man. Kuja: (Heh.) It seems you haven't realized what I myself already have after all. Zidane: Yeah. Let's close the curtains on this. Kuja: In this era, only the exceptional survive.

OK: All of this is his fault, and he's just going to run away from it all!? *Butz takes out his crystal and stares at it.* Butz: Because Cosmos didn't run away, we were able to continue to hold hope. Butz: Her thoughts are all stored in these crystals. *Everyone else takes out their crystals.* Frioniel: We are not just pawns of fate... Frioniel: We're able to fight because we have things we want to protect and dreams we want to realize. Cloud: If any of us had quit their path, we would have all disappeared. Squall: We will follow our paths to the end. And... Squall: We will show that to Chaos. Zidane: Yeah. Life is finite... Zidane: But, there will definitely always be something left.

You should be aware of it yourself that the calamity of this story has tremendous relevance to what lies ahead. The tale I am about to tell you is about a researcher, and also one of a mother and her child. However, this story may further the suffering of those who are struck by discord in an age drowning in despair. To keep the official recording of the story I'm about to tell you from getting out, I plan to seal them away. Someday, it will be discovered by those who will appreciate it, but by the time they read this... This story will have become a myth of the past. It is our duty to preserve it for those people. Because this story is proof that these people existed and these events occured. Now, please read it. Engrave this story into your memories... |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Cosmos Report 02 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| He was born an unthinkably small child, with his size belying his tremendous power. This power was supposed to be raised and watched over by our country, but we decided to take care of the child as if he were our own. Looking into the child's pure eyes, how could we even consider any alternative? It pained us to know that the child was really the country's and not ours. We knew that someday he would be snatched away from us. My husband was troubled with the duty presented to him. Until now, he had only invented floating stones and airships... Things that enriched people's everyday lives. This child was different. He was a tool of war. However, disaster soon appeared. Because of the neighboring countries, who used summon beasts and Omega to attack us, we had no choice. In order to protect our peace, my husband had to continue his research. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Cosmos Report 03 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| The child, who was just beginning to learn to speak, wanted to communicate with us and was eager to talk to us. He even called me "mama" and my husband "papa" out of affection and often embraced us. The child had brought many a smile to our faces. Though we were frightened of war, he brought us endless delight. However, it would all soon come to an end. War... had broken out. The child was taken back from us. The army, for the sake of ending the war as soon as possible, came to take the child. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Cosmos Report 04 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| The child continued to grow, and his unquestionable power seemed to suit his destined role as a soldier. The orders of the army were absolute. The messenger from the country that came had to restrain me as they took the child. "Your orders were only to be a foster parent..." is what the army thought, and to them, my mission was fulfilled. As a result, that child went on to massacre the neighboring countries. In a maelstrom of hellfire, that child eliminated the summon beasts and Omega... It was then the world began to plummit into the depths of hell. ...In that way, that child eliminated his own purpose. Because the country no longer needed him as a soldier, they planned to dispose of him. When I heard of this, in order to save that child, I enlisted in the army. Even though he had brought untold suffering on countless people, I still wanted to save my son. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Cosmos Report 05 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| After my second battle, I refused to continue. As a result, my husband and I were branded traitors and imprisoned deep underground. While I was lost in my own grief of taking away the lives of so many innocent people, I overheard rumors of a project that began at the start of the war while I was in the army. It was a project that seemed very familiar... In order to manipulate that child's thoughts, they created a clone of me. The country planned to repeat the tragedy again. That child's power had become a thing of tremendous value. But they did not understand. An artificially created me is still me. If the clone did not want to make that child unhappy, nothing could be done. If the clone did not want to repeat the destruction, nothing could be done... The project was scrapped due to insufficient time. I decided that there was only one thing to do now. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Cosmos Report 06 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| The prison I was held in was a cave crawling with demons. I studied the demons' habits, and used the knowledge to break out of the jail with my husband. We fled from the jail and rushed towards the laboratory where the child was supposedly being held. Once there, we found a research subject that greatly resembled the child. The child became so thin that we did not even recognize him anymore. In the profound depths of his hollow eyes, the color of hatred began to rise. I was unable to tell him all the things I had wanted to. We gave him a rudimentary explanation, and quickly escaped with him. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Cosmos Report 07 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| It happened while we were escaping with the child in our company. I was discovered by soldiers and shot. I could hear that child's cry of sorrow from far away. A bad premonition began to rise in my heart. It began to rise from the depths of that child's hollow eyes, the color of hatred... My premonition came true. In front of that child, a rift in space and time was born, and everything was consumed by it. The darkness began to swell out of control... It was then I lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes again, I saw only a destroyed laboratory. The child and my husband were nowhere to be found. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Cosmos Report 08 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| It is originally our tradition to pass down our memories to our family. With my husband's great intelligence and engineering ability, I had a means to do so. On the brink of escape, I used the transmitting device and decided to go back to my birthplace. I thought that this way, even if I die, I'll be able to pass on my memories to my family. After groping my way through the forest, I arrived in my birthplace: the town known as the Wings of the Hawk, where peace and tranquility endured. Suddenly, the world around me began to sink into darkness. My family used the floating stone my husband left behind and the town began to rise into the air. I would soon tell them all that had happened to me, and they would come to understand everything. Thus the tradition of passing down our memories began... |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Cosmos Report 09 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Are you finished inheriting all of my memories? Yes. I have not lost my ability to convey my memories. This is a superior way to books to preserve these memories for the generations to come. Right now, the world that has fallen into discord by the hands of the Four Fiends of Chaos and the world in the story I have told you are very similar, aren't they? I do not understand it either. However, I believe this story will be the key to some gravely important place someday. In your memories, there is a rift running through space and time. That, and the place where the the Four Fiends of Chaos dwell... In your memories, they are one and the same. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Cosmos Report 10 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| I see. Thank you very much. We shall inherit the recording of your story. Lukahn, in the end, could we perhaps as you a question? Your prediction... About the Warriors of Light... Will such people really appear, obtain the crystals, and save the world from the darkness? Even though it was I who made the prediction, it is originally told by a historian. History will see if this prediction comes true. I have a feeling it came from the world mentioned in the story. The Warriors of Light will definitely appear. Then the world will be saved... No, then the people the world will be freed from this cycle. ============================================================================= =============== Chaos Reports ================= ============================================================================= |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Chaos Report 01 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| All things have an origin. Even this world has an origin. It all began with my desire... There are two existences that are full of pure, unshakable power. Because these two forces oppose each other, this world is kept in perfect balance. Our power was limitless. I decided to evolve our power through our mutual dispute. But if we battled even once, the world might lose its balance. Before long, I discovered something of great interest. A knight who was chained to the prison of time by his hatred born of love, imprisoned by his karma. Whether the discord called to him, or he called to the discord, I do not know. However, one thing was certain: he was fated to fight forever. The endless conflict began here. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Chaos Report 02 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Harmony and discord are divided within this eternally conflicted piece. But from the power he has displayed, that fact is trivial. However, this piece is quite peculiar. Even if he dies in battle, he is resurrected again in the state he was in right before his death. But he does not seem to retain any of his memories before his death. However, there is one condition to his resurrection: The posession a strong "something" seems to fulfill this requirement. Whether it is faith, regret, or fear, it makes no difference. It does not matter whether he is piece on the side of harmony or discord. But this time, something went wrong. The piece resurrected with all of his memories intact. Was this unfluenced by the crystals that the goddess created? It was probably an omen. An omen of this war's unsettling conclusion... |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Chaos Report 03 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| We were relentlessly besieged by the destroyer. Amidst the final battle, I finally found it. And like that, the power of discord was born. I had discovered a great power created from absorbing the powers of all the residents of this world. However, this was not a destructive power. In order for the country that raised this power to manipulate the discord, they created a method for harmony to control the discord: infusing their memories into the discord. Now, I am the same as that country. In order to win this conflict, I must commit a heinous crime. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Chaos Report 04 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Once they are born, everyone wishes to leave something behind in the world. The Goddess of Harmony, Cosmos, left behind the crystals. It would not be incorrect to call the crystals creations of Cosmos that embody the power of the goddess and the understanding of people. The crystals originally were not tools. They became tools out of necessity. They bestowed power to those who possessed them, and thus became tools. If this world was also turned into a tool, the wielder would be able to do anything. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Chaos Report 05 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| I could not fulfill my wish for ultimate discord. I thought that if my wish were to be fulfilled, I could put an end to this world and the war. However, something new was being born. A new life, different from any that came before, began to beat. I thought that a strong, destructive power was my only path to salvation. However, I was mistaken. It all began with hatred. When I obtained the ultimate weapon, I desired revenge against those who desired power. But power does not guide people. They taught me that in an endless war, sometimes people guide power. This seemed to be an absolute truth of this world. I have no regrets. When the cycle begins anew, it will come under my guidance. Even though I do not know whether it is for revenge or salvation, I will set out on yet another journey with that person. As a god that governs this world, I will see this war to its end. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Chaos Report 06 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Who am I? My name holds no significance in this world. Everything I love has been snatched away and I no longer recognize the world around me. The world has been destroyed twelve times. This is the thirteenth time the world is being created. The next time, discord will probably win again, so I must use any and every means at my disposal. Perhaps I hate him because he is the reason I was torn from my wife. The next time will be the last... The only reason for this endless conflict to exist is so that the ultimate weapon can be created. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Chaos Report 07 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| I never thought anyone would willingly take their own life. Naturally, my memories have lost their meaning and he is the only proof of what is real anymore. Even if the flesh were to rot, my spirit shall not die. That theory is only partially correct. Originally, this world did not have a defined shape. Thinking that a world with no shape had no use, I took care of the rest with my own hand. But which is true? Can the spirit exist without flesh? Can the flesh exist without a spirit? Whether someone is "good" or "evil" is not determined before his/her birth. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Chaos Report 08 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| A direct interference in our war is unforgivable. I do not have the strength left to deal with such a thing. Thus I have signed a contract with a dragon that wanders through time and space. When the war of the gods is over, the defeated god will choose a new piece to take his place and the battle will begin anew. As compensation, I will lose my body. That is hardly a problem. The discord has absorbed far too many things. The only way left to save the world is to purify it by destroying it and recreating it. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Chaos Report 09 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| I have yet to discover the true potential of harmony and chaos in my many experiments. I will utilize the many wayward intentions of this world to to accomplish things that are thought to be impossible. After countless experiments, I finally succeeded. This success is the realization that in order to create such an amazing power, I must correct the mistakes in the world and seal the rifts in the dimensions. Only someone who is detached from the war will be able to do this. This person must be a person who fully comprehends their own existence. When one understands their own existence, nothing else can shake them. As for the piece from the beginning, if he establishes a purpose, he could be the one. Only the gods know everything that has passed and everything that will be. But the only thing I need is power. |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Chaos Report 10 | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Everyone, you will be reborn from your fallen tears. In the beginning, everything is equally balanced. And you will definitely understand your path. Like the piece that was mentioned, everyone has their own, unique path to continue down. What is it that determines who we truly are? The flesh, the soul, discord, harmony; which really matters in the end? This insecurity is what makes this war so interesting. When the new world is created, which path will it take? As a researcher, I have quite an interest in this. ============================================================================= ==================== Secret Ending ======================= ============================================================================= Cid: The long war has finally concluded... *Scene opens on Cosmos sitting on her throne.* Cid: Or should I say it regretfully concluded? *The narrator laughs.* Cid: It cannot end like this... Cosmos: The world has a new wish. Cid: As long as the world exists, there will always be seeds of conflict. Cid: Things like "harmony" and "discord" are born from the "thoughts" of man. Cosmos: Is there... nothing that can be done about it? Cid: Even with the power of the Lufaine, this problem cannot be solved. Cid: You know that truth well... Cosmos: The future... Cid: Then, let us go. Cid: As the chosen goddess... Restore the cycle again. Cid: Continue the journey of our story towards the final fantasy... ============================================================================= ================== Distant Glory - Shanototto ===================== ============================================================================= |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DG-S (Part 1) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on player entering Shantotto's domain.* Shantotto: Hello... and goodbye. Shantotto: This palace is a place where hard-working scholars can enjoy themselves to their heart's content... This is not a place where a commoner like you can come and go as you please. Shantotto: ...What was that? Even though I warned you, you won't turn back? Shantotto: Then you shall die a dog's death. If you continue forward, I will entertain you for a little while. *The player continues forward.* Shantotto: "It seems he/she is more trouble than I thought... I wonder if he/she might be useful." *The player clears the first stage.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DG-S (Part 2) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on the player reaching the second stage.* Shantotto: Good heavens! For a greenhorn like you to survive this far! Shantotto: However, the real fight begins now. Please show me that greenhorn spirit. *The player continues forward.* Shantotto: Hm... This one is an unexpected find. *The player clears the second stage.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DG-S (Part 3 ) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on the player reaching the third stage.* Shantotto: How pleasant! I have a job for you. *A box appears with the choices: <Accept the job.> <Do not accept the job.> A reference to accepting a quest in FFXI. You are forced to pick <Accept the job.>* Shantotto: Right, it is not like you had a choice in the first place. Now, about this job... Shantotto: You were also brought here to fight in the war, correct? Those mindless puppets are wreaking havoc all around us. Shantotto: So... please take care of them. Please do it as fast as possible. *The player clears the third stage.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DG-S (Part 4 ) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on the player reaching the fourth stage.* Shantotto: Well done. You took care of all of them. Shantotto: "You saved me all the trouble of getting my research ingredients myself... But I wonder who created such high-quality puppets. It was most likely not a mortal." Shantotto: ...Ha! What are you staring at? Come back after a little while. *The player continues forward.* Shantotto: Even if you do that... Ah, no... Do not mind me. *The player clears the fourth stage.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DG-S (Part 5 ) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on the player reaching the final stage.* Shantotto: You cleaned them all up. I have sealed away all the puppets you have taken care of in a dimensional pocket. Shantotto: ...It seems like this greenhorn has quite some tenacity. I have a slightly different opinion of you. Shantotto: Now, come to my side. I will offer you my gratitude when you arrive. *The player continues forward.* Shantotto: I wonder if you will be able to finish what you started. Now... All that is left... *The player reaches Shantotto.* Shantotto: Congratulations on arriving here. I award you a gold star. Shantotto: Now, as for my gratitude... I shall offer you a special lesson that I will personally teach! Shantotto: It is the most special of special awards. You should be crying tears of joy! Ohohohoho! *The player defeats Shantotto.* (If the player has yet to defeat Gabranth.) Shantotto: Not bad at all. You must be much more diligent. If you are, I will honor you as a fellow researcher. Shantotto: Now, I bid thee farewell. Shantotto: What about... Chaos? On the same note, what about Gab... ra... riel? You should request a blood duel with that ignorant armor-clad fool. Shantotto: It seems like this war is... going to become quite fun. Ohohohohoho! (If the player has already defeated Gabranth.) Shantotto: Oh, right, right. It seems like a recent oddity has appeared. You should be aware of it, as well. Shantotto: A strange person from an unknown land has flown in. Could it be that you just came from... Impossible, no? Shantotto: That puts me in a good mood. My studies have been avenged. ============================================================================= ================== Distant Glory - Gabranth ===================== ============================================================================= |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DG-G (Part 1 ) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on player entering Gabranth's domain.* Gabranth: Who's there...? Hmph... Have you lost your way, as well? Gabranth: Why don't we have some fun in this war of the gods? We should at least go out the way we choose. Gabranth: No matter which path we choose, our fate is the same... In this endless war... we will all die a dog's death. *The player continues forward.* Gabranth: ...So you aren't completely useless after all. *The player clears the first stage.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DG-G (Part 2 ) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on the player reaching the second stage.* Gabranth: What is it that you are looking for in this place? Gabranth: Hmph... Are you yet unaware of it? This is not a battlefield of the war of the gods. Gabranth: This is an abyss that is unconcerned with the fate of this world... A hell where the weary and defeated dogs who crave battle wander aimlessly. Gabranth: Only those who can overcome the trial can return to the battlfield of the gods once more... Gabranth: Does that fill you with despair? Gabranth: Even if you overcome this trial, you will only return to fighting in an endless war. Gabranth: We are doomed to fight forever more. It is best to just abandon yourself to an eternity of fighting. *The player continues forward.* Gabranth: Hmph, so you haven't given up yet... *The player clears the second stage.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DG-G (Part 3 ) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on the player reaching the third stage.* Gabranth: I... have lost everything. The comrades who fought besides me and the ones I sword to protect. Gabranth: You must be the same. Is the reason you wander this hell not to find something you have lost? Gabranth: Then why have you not lost sight of yourself!? What is it that you continue to seek!? *The player continues forward.* Gabranth: Do you wish to return to the battlefield of the gods? Do you wish to continue in this eternal war in vain? *The player clears the third stage.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DG-G (Part 4 ) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on the player reaching the fourth stage.* Gabranth: ...Let me tell you the fate of a "dog". Gabranth: A "dog" who fought mages with all his strength under the order of the gods. As the battle stretches on, the "dog" gradually loses his pride. Gabranth: His sole purpose in life is to fight this battle... That's what the "dog" feels. Gabranth: But the gods could care less about the "dog"'s pride. The gods merely use the power of discord to call on the dragon and wipe everything clean in one sweep. Gabranth: This "dog"... is none other than I, Judge Gabranth, who has fallen into the deepest pits of hell itself. Gabranth: This is what it means to join in the battle of the gods. If you still wish to return to such a battle, feel free to continue on. *The player continues forward.* Gabranth: ...You didn't hesitate after all. *The player clears the fourth stage.* |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |DG-G (Part 5 ) | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| *Scene opens on the player reaching the final stage.* Gabranth: So you have chosen to return once more to the battlefield of the gods... You must really want to return to your homeworld. *The player continues forward.* Gabranth: ...Hmph, I now understand how truly determined you are. *The player reaches Gabranth.* Gabranth: ...Greetings. I am the Judge Magister. I am the watchman who judges both the living and the dead. Gabranth: As the watchdog of hell... I shall be the one who determines whether or not you are fit to live! *The player defeats Gabranth.* Gabranth: Go. continue on to the exit... No... The entrance of the battlefield. Gabranth: ...Just go back. I have but one piece of advice for you: never lose sight of what you must protect. Gabranth: Someday, you will encounter times of despair when you feel all is lost. During those times, remember the "dog" who wanders hell. Gabranth: If you lose to despair, you will become like me. Never abandon your hope and see your life to the end. Gabranth: ...Don't become like me. ============================================================================= ==================== Battle Quotes ===================== ============================================================================= |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| |Warrior of Light | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Opening Battle Quotes: *Come at me.
