Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction / Fan Fiction ❯ Final Fantasy Endgame: Script ❯ The 3 Rivals ( Chapter 8 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

The scene fades in with the thirteen running toward the fortress.

Rikku: How long is this going to take?

Cloud: The time we get is the time we have

Rikku: [Stops] Huh?

Cloud: [Stops] Did I said something to hard for you to understand.

Rikku: Yeah but something is on my mind. I was just wondering, I have Tidus, Yuna, Paine and Wakka.

Cloud: Yeah… and?

Rikku: Squall has Rinoa, Quistis, Selphie, Zell and Irvine but you only have Vincent.

Cloud: I don’t like hanging with people I know.

Vincent: Or is it because you still don’t trust yourself with other people because you think you might turn on them like with Aeris.

Cloud eyes shadowed quickly and turn around grabbing Vincent by the collar and slam him into the wall. The others immediately turn around as Vincent sees a tear coming down Cloud’s shadowed eyes. Cloud lets go of Vincent as he then back ups and runs off by himself, disappearing.

Rikku: What’s was that all about?

Vincent: It’s a long story that I should brought it up in the first place.

Tidus: Are we just going to let him go off like that?

Squall: He already proven himself that he can take care of himself so let’s just continue on.

Scene blackens to Cloud running until he stops and falls down to his knees with tears coming down. He appears in the center of something that looks like a stadium with bleachers all around, then somebody in black clothing and silver hair appears walking toward Cloud with two long swords. Cloud looks up seeing Sephiroth as the lightning is continuously lighting the area up every other second.

Cloud: Alright clone, you are not the real one so I am able to defeat you.

Sephiroth: The Shadow Legion almost completely fused with the original body and he sent me here to test it out on you.

Cloud: Clones can never beat me.

Sephiroth: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha you already lost twice against me and you still think that you can beat me alone!

Cloud: Just because I lost twice against you, doesn’t mean I can never try again. As long I am still alive, I will try and try to get stronger and finally beat you.

Sephiroth: Touching speech but you never said you can beat me. The only thing I want to do is to finish this and finally kill you once and for all.

Cloud: Go ahead and try.

Sephiroth thrust his two swords in the ground and begins fighting Cloud with hand to hand combat. After several attacks Sephiroth breaks through Cloud guards and knock him back across the stadium.

Sephiroth: You did well this time, fighting at Teego, the Shadow Demon with Jenova DNA, and here at the empire increased your experience more then you ever had in the past.

Cloud: You’re wrong, everything I did or happened in the past helped me today.

Sephiroth: How did the death of Aeris help you then?

Sephiroth fires an energy blast to Cloud knocking him on his back as Cloud suddenly has flashes with Aeris up until the part he almost killed and then let her die in front of him. Tears’ falls down to the ground at this point the clouds above him open up with sunlight beaming down on him. Cloud begins to be lift up in the air and then taken into an alternate world.

Scene blackens and fade in with Cloud suddenly appears on top of the water above the place Aeris is resting deep underwater. He looks around suspiciously and tries to walk to shore but it seems he can’t go anywhere. Lights instantly shoots out from below Cloud blinding him who then stops and uses his right forearm to shield his eyes. The light slowly fades away as he then looks up seeing Aeris in a beautiful white gown with a necklace that has the small white materia attach to it.

Cloud: Aeris…

Aeris: It’s good to see you too.

Cloud: …

Aeris: … Cloud, I brought you here because you must let go of the past and move forward with your future. My time was done and that’s why I died but your time isn’t done yet and you must continue until you fulfill your destiny. I’m sorry Cloud but this is the only time I can use to speak to you one last time. I really love you but you have to let it all go, so before I leave you, remember this. You are never alone in this world no more, you will always have friends even though you don’t want them and I will always be in your heart no matter what.

Aeris slowly walks to Cloud gliding through the watery surface. She uses her left hand to touch and then grabs Cloud right hand and then went to his arms. Cloud slowly put his other arm around her as she press her body against his and leans her head on this shoulder. Cloud closes his eyes wanting it to last a lifetime but once he opens his eyes he is back in the stadium.

Cloud takes out the green master materia and holds one piece in each hand. He then tightens the grip as the light from above beam down on Cloud once again. His body lifts in the air with both arms at his side at an angle. The white materia mysteriously falls through the light and once it reaches Cloud, his body begins to glow.

The light fades and Cloud is standing still as he breathes heavily holding two swords. Cloud opens his eyes as he swings the two swords around and then connects the two swords and his Neo Buster Sword.

Sephiroth: You got a new sword, this should be more interesting.

Cloud and Sephiroth begins sword fighting but Sephiroth easily defeats him again knocking Cloud to the bleachers. As the smoke rises up from the crash with Sephiroth getting his swords back and walks toward the Bleachers. Cloud suddenly jumps out of the smoke and lands behind Sephiroth as he picks up both new buster swords. He stands in the center of the stadium with lights below him lighting him up with some sort of energy floating around him.

Cloud: Neo OmniSlash.

Cloud releases his fifth level limit breaker to Sephiroth, which Sephiroth is unable to demand. After doing the attack Sephiroth returns back in the ground while Cloud put his swords together and over his shoulder and locking it in place. He then runs out of the stadium to catch up with the twelve.

Aeris: You have grown stronger Cloud… I wish you luck.

Scene blackens with Aeris fading away and scene fades in with Tidus and everyone else walking through a tunnel that leads to the empire fortress. Tidus is falling behind as suddenly the roof collapse between him and the group separating them.

Seymour: Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Tidus: Who’s there…show yourself?

Seymour: You don’t remember my voice…allow me to reintroduce myself, I am Seymour Gruado. [Enters]


Tidus: I thought Yuna sent you to the Farplane.

Seymour: Indeed she did but somebody much powerful gotten me out and in return of full loyalty to the Shadow Empire.

Tidus: How are the shadows reviving people from the dead?

Seymour: You should ask yourself how do you come to be and how you came back. To find out the reason of my return you must found out why are you still here even though you’d live a thousand years ago.

Tidus: It doesn’t matter how I came back…as long I’m here with Yuna.

Seymour: Then it doesn’t matter how’d I came back either…as long I’m here standing before you and there is no need for further questions about it.

Tidus: I agree with you on that, but as long you are here then I must put you back to the Farplane from all the evil deeds you done to Spira and to Yuna.

Seymour: Poor Yuna…she should been mine but you have to interfere but it’s not a problem since the shadows can change her mind.

Tidus: Why you! You would force her to love you be making an agreement with the Shadow Empire by reverting her to be one of them.

Seymour: Its better that then nothing.

Tidus: You make me sick.

Seymour: Enough talking and lets see if your skills can beat my magic.

Tidus: I will defeat you and defeat the Shadow Empire.

Tidus and Seymour begins fighting but since Tidus can’t get close to Seymour by his magic he is on the verge of being defeated but somebody in a red coat appears and slice apart Seymour staff.


Tidus: Auron!

Auron: You’re slacking.

Tidus: Its good to see you again too.

Auron: Seymour! Go back to the Farplane where you belong!

Seymour: You too belong in the Farplane, Sir Auron.

Auron: The Farplane is in chaos since you escaped from it.

Seymour: I see you are able to get out also.

Auron: Yes, because of you I was able to break out easily then the others, to find you.

Seymour: I expect nothing less then you.

Tidus: Auron, so you’re the one who gave me that sword in Luca.

Seymour: I will get my revenge and you two can’t possibly stop me.

Auron: Enough, its end now!

Auron and Tidus fought Seymour but they are defenseless against his magic but somebody unexpected appears.

?Seymour: Get up!

Tidus: No way, not you too

?Seymour: Can’t let you die here.

Auron: You took your time.

?Seymour: As long I am here, don’t worry how long it took.

Tidus: Father.

Seymour: Enough! It doesn’t matter how many there is, I can take you all out.

Jecht: You are all talk, but can you back it up.

Tidus: There is no way we can lose now.

Auron: Don’t get to cocky.

Jecht: lighten up, you need to relax.

Seymour: I am getting annoyed by your antics, time to show you my ultimate form.

Seymour transforms into a powerful new form that is powerful then all of his transformations combine.

Jecht: [To Tidus] Here, its not much but lets just say it’s a late wedding present.

Jecht gives Tidus two new sword called the Duel Blitz Blade which is consider one of the most powerful lost long swords.

Tidus: Thanks dad.

Jecht: Show this weakling how to use this sword.

Tidus: Yes sir.

Auron: You are finally giving him that sword to use.

Jecht: I don’t see him have a sword, do you?

The three begins fighting the new final form of Seymour which the three still having troubles trying to defeat him. Tidus body suddenly begins to glow as he obtains his fifth limit breaker.

Jecht: Show him your power son.

Tidus: Spira’s Legacy

Tidus runs to Seymour and begin to do a 50 slash combo using a hurricane sword spin technique. He throws one of his swords straight up in the air as he jumps off of Seymour going up in the sky and swings his sword toward Seymour unleashing a volley of energy blast. He then does a flip and kicks his second sword with his feet as it drive into Seymour forehead. Tidus lands on the ground as light is escaping around the blade in Seymour’s head. Soon Seymour vanishes from thin air and Jecht is somehow gone but Auron is still there.

Jecht: You did good, you did good son [Fades out]

Auron: Yeah, I agree.

Tidus: Even with all of that, he doesn’t even stay for a while.

Auron: He left you and your mother alone and regret ever doing that but if you could be this strong base off of memories then you don’t need him.

Tidus: So, what are we going to do with this rock blockage?

Auron: I can take care of that.

Auron walks toward the rock blockage and takes out his left arm from his sleeve and grabs his Masamane Sword. He then begins swinging his sword at the rocks very rapidly without touching them. Within moments, he puts his sword away and turns around suddenly the rocks begin to split apart and it collapses.

Auron: Come on, let’s go.

Tidus: They are only ahead of us by a few minutes; we can catch up to them.

Auron: We need to hurry and defeat this empire.

Tidus: No problem, it will be just like old times.

Scene blackens and fade in with Skise and Melicites at the lab’s lobby, circling each other.

Melicites and Skise begin sword fighting but Skise doesn’t attack just like when he fought Lakeyna for the first time.

Melicites: Fight back! There isn’t any fun in it if the person I want to kill doesn’t defend himself.

Skise: Do you even know your past?

Melicites: What does my past has to do with us fighting?

Skise suddenly gets hit by Melicites agile moves as the force knocks him into a wall and cracking on impact.

Melicites: Is that the best you can do?

Skise: (Damn, she is better then I thought.)

Melicites: Get up, so we can finish this.

Skise gets up but Melicites fires a fire blast which he takes the full effect and barely stay standing. He charges Melicites but something in him stops him from attacking her as she does several counters and knock Skise back to the wall again.

Melicites: Is this the great Mystic who was going to defeat the Shadow Empire.

Skise gets up and the two continues fighting but Skise is the one who is losing. Suddenly the gray hair person appears watching the two fight and see that Skise is losing. After a while, Skise is barely standing but doesn’t seem to be bruise.

Melicites: Come on and fight!

Skise: You know what? I always thought that you and Lakeyna act the same way. Every time you two fight somebody you always wanted to fight them at their best.

Melicites: What or who are you taking about?

Skise: So I was right you don’t even know who you really are.

Melicites: I am Melicites the best female assassin of the Shadow Empire.

Skise: For how long, tell me how long you have been the best assassin of the empire.

Melicites: I always have been the best.

Skise: Do you remember a city could Teego?

Melicites: Teego?

Skise: Yes Teego, a city on the northern coast of Ciriusein which you spent 18 years of your life living there.

Melicites: No, I always lived in the empire.

Skise: Do you even remember when we were young that you, I, Skine and Lakeyna go on adventures. You always pick on Lakeyna because she was always scared and us two always trying to outdo each other.

Melicites slowly walks back having multiply flashbacks that goes like a blur through her mind.

Melicites: You got the wrong person.

Skise: Then why are you having all of those flashes in your head.

Melicites: Stop it or I kill you!

Melicites begins attacking Skise once again and brings him down to low health but stops before she can finish him. Skise is sitting down on the floor as he leans on the wall behind while Melicites is gripping her head.

Skise: You were being used by the Shadow Empire the whole entire time. Skine knew who you were, so he made you into one of them and then made you fight me.

Melicites: It’s a lie! You are lying to me and trying to attack me in my head.

Skise: Remember Melicites, I beg you to remember. Remember who you are, remember where you came from and remember your friends.

Melicites: Who I am, where I’m from and my friends…

Skise: Remember the day when I was returning from training up in the mountains and the empire invaded Teego. Just think of what you were doing during that time, and think who you truly are.

Veon: (Foolish girl, I kill you if you don’t continue the fight.)

Melicites: Ahhhh! Why are you doing this to me? What are these memories coming from. I am Melicites the best female assassin of the Shadow Empire.

Melicites falls down to her knees with her hands holding onto the sides of her head.

Skise: Because I deeply care about you and I will do anything to bring you back to me.

Melicites: I… I… I remember

Veon: (You had just sealed your fate)

Melicites: On that day when you were supposed to return I was with Lakeyna decorating your house to celebrate your returned. We both agree that we will get something for you so Lakeyna went to her house and I left the city to our secret spot. While I was getting my most precise item for you I heard an explosion behind me and once I turned around… I saw that Teego was under an attack. I run back to the city but once I got there… everything was destroyed and I was helpless. Suddenly, I saw you running through the city looking for survivors to save but Skine suddenly appears in front of me and everything went black after that.

Skise: Skine….

Melicites: Now I know who I am

Skise: Since you know who you are then help me rescue Lakeyna.

Melicites stands up and then runs toward Skise and does a fire punch to his face and he get knocks back into the wall. Skise falls down to his knees coughing up blood as he looks puzzle at her.

Skise: Why?

Melicites: You couldn’t possibly understand.

Skise: You know who you are but you rather stay with the empire.

Melicites: The empire is my only home and without it… I have no place to go.

Skise: You choose the empire over friends.

Melicites: We hadn’t seen each other for fourteen years and I rather let Lakeyna join the empire since I’m the weak one who is already part of them.

Skise: You aren’t weak Melicites… they used you when you were most vulnerable. It doesn’t mean that you are weaker then us.

Melicites: I did a lot of bad things recently that I remember everything, things that I horribly regret doing them.

Skise: That is all in the past. You’re still young so you got a whole life to live out the way you want it to be.

Melicites: I couldn’t possibly live from what I did so I want you to help me to end it for me that I can die knowing that I admit to the things I did.

Skise: …

Melicites: Come at me with everything you got.

Skise: I don’t want to do it!

Melicites: One of us has to die…

Skise: I won’t allow it.

Melicites: You can’t escape this.

Melicites begins attacking Skise with almost everything she got with tears coming out of her eyes. She isn’t holding back as Skise health is drastically getting lower then before as the gray hair fighter stands watching.

Veon: (Does she know that I’m watching?)

Melicites does a special technique which left Skise barely conscious on the ground in the center of a crater. Skise gets up onto his feet coughing up blood and then gets into a stance.

Melicites: You know that I am going to kill you and you still decided to stand up, why?

Skise: Because I know that you can’t do this.

Melicites: Just stop! You’re making this harder for me and for yourself.

Skise: I can’t let you do this continue, if one of us has to die then it gotta be me.

Veon: (This is getting interesting by the moment but both of their deaths are inevitable).

Melicites: You are the only hope for this planet and you would sacrifice your life just to save mine.

Skise: Yes, I would (I need to find way out of this. I still sense that second Neo Mystic in this room. Is that the reason why she still continues to fight me which means I have to act quickly to save both of us). If there is no other way then I will put my life in front of yours to show you how deeply I care for you no matter what.

Melicites: At least you could do something about your powers. Everyone who died in Teego is counting on your survival to finally destroy the empire. You are their only hope, you’re their hero so you have to destroy the empire for all of us.

Skise: Killing each other is not the answer there has to be another way.

Veon: (I can’t let this continue any further)

The gray hair fighter appears out of nowhere holding a javelin and thrust the blade toward Melicites. Skise gets up as he pushes her out of the way and the javelin blade barely misses him.

Melicites: Why?

Veon: I was ordered that if you don’t succeed in your mission then I am supposed to kill you both.

Melicites: But I never failed!

Veon: Begging to die is the same thing as failing.

Skise: Who are you?

Veon: My name is Veon.


Melicites: So Skine sent you!

Skise: Skine knew that I could make you remember so he sent Veon not as a backup but as the original assassin.

Veon: Very good Skise, but you are no match against me in your current situation.

Skise: Melicites attacks had no effect on me.

Melicites: Is that so.

Skise: I was trying to see if you were holding back but you weren’t so that when I had to talk sense into you.

Veon: She isn’t Lakeyna. She wasn’t used by her emotions to be so easily manipulated. She was turned by being an experiment of the Neo Mystic Project.

Melicites: I’ll get you for this Veon!

Skise: Melicites, No!

Melicites and Veon engage into a battle but since Melicites uses most of her powers on Skise she lost badly with several cuts and bruises.

Skise: Melicites!

Melicites: I gave him all I got; now finish it, for both of us [Pass out]

Skise: I will, just rest, everything will be fine.

Veon: How touching, you two deserves each other.

Skise: I will kill you.

Scene blackens with the two charging each other and then fades in with Skine, Lakeyna, Dieren and Urbine.

Dieren: He’s here.

Lakeyna: [Wakes up] Where am I and what are you going to do with me?

Skine: Silence. You had failed me the last time but don’t worry… once we get through with you, you will never fail me again.

Lakeyna: Go to hell asshole.

Skine: I’m sorry but if you hadn’t notice already that we are already in hell.

Urbine: Melicites have turned so Veon is dealing with Skise.

Skine: I was expecting that.

Urbine: And you were also expecting that Veon will lose like the others.

Skine: No, Veon knows better and besides we don’t want to delay Skise’s and Lakeyna’s second reunion.

Lakeyna: What do you mean? I thought you don’t want us to meet.

Dieren: The next time you two will meet… you two will be enemies.

Lakeyna: What are you talking about? Let me out of here!

Dieren: I’m afraid that we can’t do that.

[Enters] Yulin: The others are almost to the fortress.

Skine: Those two failed already! Why am I surrounded by failures? Do something about them! They are getting more annoying every second they are breathing.

Urbine: I go deal with it.

Dieren: [Looks surprise] That’s a first.

Urbine: Unlike you, I don’t fail [Exits]

Scene blackens with Urbine walking through a shadow and scene fades in with him walking out of the shadow in front of the fourteen.

Squall: Watch out! I’m getting bad vibes from him.

Quistis: Looks like he is part of the Neo Mystic Project.

Urbine: My name is Urbine and you are correct I am from the Neo Mystic Project.

Zell: Can we take him.

Urbine: Squall, your destiny a waits.

Squall: What are you talking about?

Urbine waves his right hand towards a shadow on a wall and somebody familiar walks out of it holding a custom gunblade.

Squall, Rinoa, Zell, Quistis, Selphie, and Irvine all look surprise and shock by the person.

Seifer: Long time no see.

Squall: Seifer.

Seifer: I knew that you are going to make it this far, but it all ends here for you and the rest of your party.

Urbine: Seifer… this is your fight and responsibility. I am here only to observe.

Seifer: Stand back and watch how the professional does it.

Urbine: Remember what will happen if you lose.

Seifer: Don’t worry Mr. Mystic. I already won against Squall before. [To Squall] Do you remember that little beating that I gave you that one day?

Rinoa: [Turns to Squall] What are you talking about?

Squall: I remember…

Seifer: Last time I couldn’t kill you because it wasn’t the right time to do it but this time I can use my full strength. Hopefully you have gotten stronger since the last battle because if you didn’t then you have no chance against me this time around.

Rinoa: As long I am here right by Squall’s side there isn’t a chance in hell that you can beat him Seifer.

Urbine: I’m afraid that I can’t let you or anybody else interfere with this little fight of theirs.

Zell: And what are you going to do about it. [Raise a fist]

Urbine: This… [Aura going berserk]

Urbine waves his hand and suddenly everyone except Squall and Seifer sinks down in the ground and appear floating in dark space viewing Squall and Seifer upcoming battle from something that looks like a large movie screen.

Irvine: You had to ask [Hits Zell]

Zell: [Cover his head] Ow, how was I supposed to know he can do this…

Vincent: Now the only thing we can do is to float here and watch the fight.

Urbine: Don’t worry, this fight won’t take too long if aren’t patient to wait.

Rikku: I’m already bored

Urbine: That’s most expected from you

Rikku: Say that to my face and I show you something that people expects me to do when they make me mad.

Seifer: She more annoying then Selphie. How can you put up with that?

Squall: Lots of practice, patient, and the time of getting use to it.

Selphie: Once I get out of here, I’m going to pay you back for that.

Yuna: I wonder where is Tidus and Cloud?

Wakka: Don’t worry about Tidus. He got everything under control of where he is at, I hope.

Rikku: I hope Cloud is alright too.

Vincent: He’s fine.

Rikku: How can you be so cool about everything?

Paine: He doesn’t go complaining about everything.

Irvine: So ladies since we are floating in here why don’t we try to get along better. [Appears next to Rikku, Paine, and Yuna]

Selphie: [Appears behind Irvine with dark red eyes]

Zell: I’m going to feel sorry for him [Sighs as he appears next to Quistis]

Scene switches to Seifer and Squall with Selphie beating up Irvine in the mysterious void.

Seifer: Come on, let’s stop delaying the inevitable.

Squall: How can I fight when I don’t have a weapon?

Urbine: Allow me to give you one.

Urbine waves his hand toward a shadow and a unique custom made gunblade comes out floating toward Squall. Squall grabs the handle and begins swinging it around to get use to the feel.

Squall: What is this?

Urbine: Gunblade Griever, this weapon allows you to reach your fifth Renzokuken Limit Breaker called Lion’s Pride.

Seifer: You need all the help you can get if you ever want to stand against me.

Squall: Let’s do this and get this over with.

Squall and Seifer begins fighting each other with the others trap in another realm. The two seems to be equally match as they are causing major destruction to the area, with several blocks destroyed. Squall and Seifer is kneeling down apart as they are facing each other.

Seifer: Damn…its taking longer then I wanted it to be.

Squall: Surprise that I seem stronger then last time…

Seifer: You are full of surprises Squall.

Selphie: Beat him Squall!

Rikku: We’re rooting for you!

Seifer: They don’t know when to shut up, do they?

Squall: No, they don’t.

Vincent: They sound like they are more like best friends then bitter rivalry

Quistis: If you take their past in consideration since they know each other all their life, you can say they are more like brothers.

Seifer: Ha! Me and him brothers, that’s the last thing I wanted to hear for you guys.

Squall: I agree, being mistakenly be called best friends I can deal with but being called brothers is crossing the lines a bit.

Vincent: I can see what you mean Quisits, they differently act like brothers.

Seifer: That’s it! Once I’m finish with Squall I’m taking out all of you now!

Squall: But taking me out is not going to be so easy like you plan

Seifer: Minor set back.

Squall: Enough interference…

Seifer: I give them credit for only delaying your death.

Seifer and Squall continues battling each other and after a while Cloud suddenly appears with his Neo Buster Sword behind his back. He stands on the edge of a skyscraper seeing Squall battling Seifer down below.

Cloud: It took me a while but I finally caught up with them. I see Squall fighting somebody but I don’t see anybody else.

Suddenly a building right next to the one that Cloud is on explodes and is collapsing towards him. Cloud jumps off the roof as he free falls down and lands on a piece of the building and rides it down. Right before it crashes to the ground he jump off and lands several feet ahead kneeling down.

Rikku: Look! It’s Cloud.

Zell: Is it just me or he got a new sword.

Cloud: Huh? I hear people talking but I don’t see them anywhere…

Vincent: We are trap in a different realm which we can only watch what’s going on.

Yuna: Did you bump into Tidus by any chance?

Cloud: Sorry, didn’t see anyone while coming here except a few shadow soldiers.

Seifer: Since when did you become so popular Squall? I thought you are the lone wolf type of person.

Squall: It doesn’t matter anymore.

Urbine: So you must be Cloud, how was the fight with Sephiroth?

Cloud: He wasn’t so strong like he believes himself to be since he is only a clone.

Urbine: I guess Tidus is fighting against Seymour.

Yuna, Rikku, and Wakka: Seymour!

Urbine: Don’t interfere with these two fighters battle.

Cloud: Wasn’t planning to anyways, I am continuing toward the fortress as plan. Don’t have the time to waste dealing with this right now.

Urbine: I see… do what you wish if you prepare for anything.

Cloud: I don’t have anytime to stick around here [Exits]

Urbine: He doesn’t waste time does he…

Rikku: Mr. Urbine, uh, can you let us out and go with Cloud?

Zell: Be quiet he might keep us in here for eternality.

Urbine: Beat it then. [Exits]

The nine suddenly appears out of nowhere while Urbine disappears in the shadow again.

Rinoa: I stay here with Squall. You guys follow Cloud to the center of the empire.

Quistis: You sure?

Rinoa: I will stay by his side whatever happens to him.

Quistis: You are a brave girl, good luck. We will see each other later on.

Rinoa: Goodbye for now…

Yuna: Be happy for him…

Rinoa: I am.

The eight exits following Cloud as Rinoa stays behind in the middle of Squall’s and Seifer fight. Suddenly Tidus appears running through with Auron and spots Rinoa standing around.

Tidus: Hey Rinoa!

Rinoa: Tidus, you’re safe. Yuna will be so happy.

Tidus: Of course I am safe. Why wouldn’t I be?

Rinoa: Who’s he?

Auron: My name is Auron.

Rinoa: Hello Mr. Auron.

Tidus: Why are you doing here alone?

Rinoa: Squall is fighting his arch rival… and the others continue ahead. I thought I might give Squall support because I love him very much and would do anything for him.

Auron: It looks like she can take care of herself lets regroup with the others.

Tidus: Alright, good luck.

Rinoa: You too.

Tidus and Auron exits the area while explosion is in the background with Squall and Seifer fighting to their limits. Suddenly Squall crashes into the ground making a crater with Seifer landing on the edge.

Seifer: You had finally reached your limit.

Rinoa: Squall, wake up!

Seifer: Shut up!

Rinoa: Squall! Don’t die!

Seifer: I said shut up.

Squall: Don’t you ever touch her.

Seifer: I see that you still have some fight in you.

Squall: [Stands up] As long that there is still some breath in me I will keep fighting.

Seifer: Then I must put out that last breath then.

Squall: [Body glows] No…

Seifer: Huh? What’s happening?

Squall: Renzokuken! Lion’s Pride!
