Ebon Dome -> Ending ===================================== *The group heads out across the ruins of Zanarkand* Wakka: I wonder what the Farplane looks like... Auron: Then look no further. *Continuing forward, they arrive at the Ebon Dome* Man: You have journeyed far to come here. State your name. Yuna: I am Yuna, a Summoner. I have come from Beside. Man: It is clear from your face that this has been an arduous quest. Man: Very well. Man: This place is not what it used to be... Man: But Lady Yunalesca shall come greet you personally. Man: Your many Guards may visit her too if they like. Yuna: Alright... *The group heads inside the Dome* Woman: I'll gladly give my life for the good of Spira. Woman: But tis such a great sacrifice to ask of my Guard. Woman: Lady Yonkun... Please help me to defeat Sin! Rikku: Whaaa? What iiis this? Auron: Past visitors to this Dome. Lulu: But that couldn't have been Lady Yonkun... Lulu: A Guard to the Great Summoner!? Auron: This dome is a huge sphere filled with Moonflow bugs. Auron: Here they revive distant memories... for all time... *The group winds its way through the wrecked dome. Past the save sphere...* Boy: No! You can't, mother! You'll become a Prayer Child! Woman: It can't be helped. Woman: You must summon me, and defeat Sin. Woman: If you do that, everyone will accept you. Boy: I don't care about everyone else! Boy: Nothing else matters if you're not here! Woman: I am sorry... I have no time left. Wakka: Hey, that was... Rikku: Seymour?! *A little further* Jecto: You know, Braska... Jecto: We don't have to do this. Braska: Please, just try to understand. Jecto: ...'lright. I won't say it again. Auron: Maybe not, but I've said it hundreds of times! Auron: Let's go home, Lord Braska! We... we can't let you die... Braska: Are you having second thoughts as well? Auron: What are we supposed to think about that moment...? Braska: Your mourning for me will be a glad time... Braska: For I will drive away sadness. Braska: By defeating Sin, I will drive away the misery covering Spira. Braska: Try to understand, Auron. *The group enters a building* Jecto: Think there's a trial past here? Braska: Possibly. Jecto: Then heck, let's find out... not like we'll be back here again. Jecto: Or were ya waiting for some big fireworks to point the way in? Braska: Once I've defeated Sin, fireworks wouldn't be a bad idea at all. *Yet another complex Hall of Trials greets the party. It takes some trial and error to figure out what works, but eventually all the pieces should go together* *After inserting the last sphere, a boss appears* Trigger Command: Move *Once the battle has ended* Auron: Yuna... we have arrived. Yuna: For the Ultimate Summon... right? Auron: Go. Yuna: Okay. Jecto: Whaa? Not the Ultimate Summon?? Yuna: Auron! Yuna: Come here, everybody! *The group descends and enters the next room* Yuna: This isn't a Prayer Child, only a statue. Man: The key to the Prayer Child is just beyond here. Man: In the beginning, it was Lord Zeion that first became the Prayer Child for the Ultimate Summon. Man: However, he never became a statue. Man: Now... Lord Zeion has passed onwards. Wakka: He passed away!? Rikku: So that means... we can't get the Ultimate Summon!? Man: Fear not. Man: You can beseech Lady Yunalesca to grant a new Ultimate Summon. Man: Uniting as one with the Summoner, a great power is born... Man: Indeed you should go inside... back, to Lady Yunalesca. Tidus: Wait a sec. Tidus: Auron, did you know about this from the beginning? Auron: I did. Rikku: Then whyyy didn't you tell us!? Auron: So you could see the truth for yourselves. Kimahri: Yuna. Yuna: I'm not going back yet. Kimahri: All right. Kimahri: Kimahri will go ahead, to fight before her. *They proceed inside, where a new figure emerges* Rikku: Something's coming! Yuna: Lady Yunalesca... Yunalesca: Welcome to Zanarkand. Yunalesca: Your journey has been long, but you have finally arrived. Yunalesca: Allow me to grant you my highest blessing. Yunalesca: The Ultimate Summon... my ultimate power. Yunalesca: So... choose. Yunalesca: You must choose a single brave soul, to be changed by my power. Yunalesca: Changed... into the Prayer Child for your Ultimate Summon. Yunalesca: The power of the heart, the power of a strong bond, these are what make up the Ultimate Summon. Yunalesca: But only one bound closely to the Summoner can become the Prayer Child. Yunalesca: It is their mutual feelings that become the light to defeat Sin. Yunalesca: I chose my husband, Zeion, 1000 years ago. Yunalesca: He became a Prayer Child, and I received my Ultimate Summon. Yunalesca: But it cannot attack. Yunalesca: You must release all of your sorrow. Yunalesca: For when you bring forth the Ultimate Summon, you also end your life. Yunalesca: And as your life ends, so, too, ends sorrow. Yunalesca: Your father, Braska, chose this same path as well. Auron: I still think we should go back! Braska: If I leave, who will defeat Sin? Braska: Do we wait for another Summoner and Guard to face the same dilemna? Auron: No, but... there must be another way! Jecto: But not right now there's not. Jecto: It's decided. Jecto: I'll become the Praying Child. Jecto: I've thought lots about it, but... Jecto: I just wanna be back in Zanarkand. Jecto: Make my boy into a first-class player... Jecto: So he can look down at all his fans from on high. Jecto: But... doesn't look like I'll be going back to Zanarkand after all. Jecto: I won't be seein' him again, so I guess that's it for my dream. Jecto: So let's see about changing me into the Prayer Child. Jecto: Braska and I'll fight it out with Sin... Jecto: And see if we can't give some meaning to this life of mine. Auron: Don't be crazy! Auron: If you stay alive... Auron: If you'd just stay alive, there'd be infinite possibilities awaiting you! Jecto: It's not crazy! I've thought it through. Jecto: Besides, Auron. Jecto: I don't know that there really are infinite possibilities left for me anymore. Braska: Jecto. Jecto: What? We can't stop now. Braska: I'm sorry... No, thank you. Jecto: You've been waiting for the day to defeat Sin. Jecto: This is my part in protecting you. Jecto: So let's go! Auron: Lord Braska! Jecto! Jecto: What is it now!? Auron: How many times will Sin be revived!? Auron: It'll just be reborn after just a short time of peace! Auron: You'll just die in vain if you can't change it! Braska: Then perhaps this time, it won't be reborn. Braska: At least, I hope not. Jecto: Auron has a point, though. Jecto: So I'll make it through somehow. Auron: What kind of plan is that? Braska: Jecto? Jecto: Well, let's hope for one of those infinite possibilities, eh? Auron: I told you... it didn't change a thing. Tidus: We'll change things. Wakka: But how! Wakka: Isn't any kind of plan useless? Lulu: If we need someone to become a Prayer Child... Lulu: I would do it. Wakka: So would I, Yuna! Tidus: But that's just what our fathers did! It got a little bit of peace... but that's it! Tidus: Then it'll just be reborn! Wakka: So you're saying... Wakka: We defeat Sin, and keep Yuna from dying. Wakka: Then we keep Sin from reviving too? Wakka: That would be more than we could hope for! Lulu: We could try for too much... and lose it all. Tidus: No, I wanna do it all. Wakka: Don't talk like a child! Tidus: What difference does it make! Tidus: Maybe I could just say it like an adult. Tidus: It doesn't matter at all how I say it! Tidus: Doing it like that won't change anything! Tidus: I don't want to just let it end like this... Tidus: No, I don't know how to do it. Tidus: But I think there must be a way... Tidus: Just like Auron said ten years ago... Rikku: Infinite possibilities...? Tidus: I'll do it. Tidus: I'll go speak to Yunalesca. Rikku: You think just asking her will do the trick? Tidus: Of course not... I don't know... Tidus: But if this is my story... Tidus: If this is my good-for-nothing story then I'll put an end to it right here! Yuna: Wait. Yuna: This... this is my story, not yours. Yuna: Don't wave it around like that. Yuna: Take things slowly, don't rush off with them. Yuna: Or we'll regret the outcome nomatter what happens. Yuna: So... please don't. Yuna: I will decide... I will decide all on my own! *The group heads up the stairs and out to Yunalesca* Yunalesca: Have you decided who shall become the Prayer Child? Yunalesca: Who have you chosen? Yuna: Before that, tell me something. Yuna: Will Sin always be revived after it is defeated with the Ultimate Summon? Yunalesca: Sin is immortal. Yunalesca: The Summoned Beast that defeats Sin then, itself, becomes a new Sin... Yunalesca: Thus must occur the rebirth. Tidus: So that's how my father is Sin... Yunalesca: Sin is Spira's unfortunate fate, its forever inevitable destiny. Wakka: Forever...?! Wakka: But wait! Can't Sin's rebirth be stopped when people atone for their sins? Wakka: Isn't there some way it can be done!? Yunalesca: By man's ceasing to sin at all, perhaps? Lulu: That's not an answer! Lulu: Ebon teaches that when all sin disappears, Sin will disappear as well! Lulu: Those teachings... they were Spira's only hope! Yunalesca: Hope... is a pacifier. Yunalesca: You should forget such sorry teachings and accept the truth. Tidus: Quit lyin' to us! Auron: Stop lying to us! Auron: It's not the only something to rely on! Auron: Braska sacrificed his life because he believed the teachings! Auron: Jecto sacrificed himself because he believed in Braska! Yunalesca: And they died for what they believed. Yunalesca: The Ebon teachings and the Ultimate Summon are the light of hope that shine on Spira. Yunalesca: If there was no hope, life would be naught but sorrow. Yunalesca: So choose. Who will be your Prayer Child? Yunalesca: To be sacrificed for the sake of hope... Yuna: ...no one. Yuna: I thought it was alright that I would die. Yuna: I'm not afraid to die... to give my life for my cause. Yuna: But... the Ultimate Summon... Yuna: It's just a fake that never changes anything. Yunalesca: No, it is the light of hope. Yunalesca: You're father... he sacrificed himself for the sake of hope as well. Yunalesca: To forget sorrow. Yuna: No... Yuna: My father... he wanted... Yuna: He wanted to put an end to sorrows. Yuna: Not just a trick to forget them... Yunalesca: What is the point of fighting sorrows that cannot be stopped? Yuna: That's... exactly what my father wanted to do! Yuna: So... Yuna: I want to complete the task my father couldn't. Yuna: Life... without sorrow. Yuna: I live, and fight, for that day! Yuna: Maybe it's destiny that it can't be changed now, but someday... it will change! Yuna: But not just from some false hope...! Yunalesca: How awful... Yunalesca: You're even opposed to hope. Yunalesca: In that case... Yunalesca: The least I can do is help you, before you sink into total despair. Yunalesca: A death bathed in the light of hope, rather than life in the black of sorrow. Yunalesca: You shall forget all your sorrows. Auron: Well, now what! Auron: Now we must decide. Auron: Relent, and die? Or fight sorrow and live! Auron: Listen to your heart and write your own story! Kimahri: If Kimahri dies, who would protect Yuna? Rikku: I'd do it for you! Wakka: Fight against Lady Yunalesca? You gotta be kiddin' me... Lulu: So we should run? Wakka: Pft! Wakka: If I ran now... I'd never forgive myself. Wakka: Even if it kills me! Lulu: My thoughts exactly... Tidus: Yuna! Tidus: We'll continue both of our stories, together! *The party engages Yunalesca. After the battle...* Yunalesca: If I die... the Ultimate Summon dies with me. Yunalesca: You have destroyed Spira's only hope... Tidus: Then we'll find another way to defeat it! Yunalesca: Foolish boy... there is no other way. Yunalesca: Even if you did... if you somehow defeated Sin... Yunalesca: It would just be born anew from the everlasting Ebon Curse. Tidus: Ebon Curse!? Yunalesca: Yes... forgive me, Zeion. Yunalesca: When the light of hope is gone, Spira shall descend into a spiral of sorrow... Yuna: No way... can that happen... Tidus: No way is it gonna happen! Rikku: What should we do, then? Tidus: We defeat Sin. Tidus: We do it without the Ultimate Summon, and we don't let it come back, either. Tidus: Now we just gotta figure out how. *The group begins to head back through the dome* Auron: One moment. Tidus: What? Auron: I figured it become clear soon enough. Tidus: I know... you're already... Auron: Yes, I'm already dead. Auron: That doesn't surprise you? Tidus: I had a feeling that's what happened... after what Yunalesca did. Auron: It was after Braska went to fight Sin that it happened. Auron: I wasn't able to persuade them. Auron: So I came back one more time, to fight the real enemy... Auron: Before the enemy got them... Auron: Afterwards I descended from Gagazett... Auron: But I was still weak when I reached Bevelle. There I found Kimahri. Auron: Yuna tried her best... but I died. Auron: Since then I have had to fight to avoid the Farplane. Tidus: Auron... Auron: Don't give me that, I can still tell you a thing or two. Auron: You can return to your Zanarkand by going back into Sin. Tidus: You knew this... but you waited til now to tell me? Tidus: Why...? Tidus: Why'd you wait all this time to tell me?! Auron: It's not something so easily explained. Auron: But enough, I'll show you. Auron: This is my memory. *Begin flashback* Jecto: Now that it's almost over... do me a favor? Jecto: Well... Jecto: Then again, maybe I shouldn't. Auron: Just tell me! Jecto: Yeah, well, no harm in askin'. Jecto: Watch out for my son. Jecto: He's in Zanarkand, and he's kindof a crybaby... but watch him. Jecto: I'd never quit worrying unless somebody did. Jecto: So take care of him... please. Auron: But... what can I do if I go to Zanarkand... Jecto: What the heck d'ya mean! Jecto: You'd get by somehow, what with your infinite possibilities and all, right? Auron: You're right...! No harm in trying! Auron: I'll do it. Auron: I'll protect your son. I'll protect him... whether I'm dead or alive. Jecto: Thanks, Auron. Jecto: You know, for a stick in the mud, ya ain't half bad. *End flashback* Auron: So it was... *The group heads out of the dome* (Tidus) "Father... No Ultimate Summon anymore... But we'll do it somehow. Just... give us a little more time." *The airship arrives, and the group boards* *Brother: What's our heading? Cid: Well ain't you a solemn bunch... *Brother: Where to!? Rikku: Quite askin' where to! Rikku: Give us a sec to think, okay!? Auron: Well? Auron: Hoping for inspiration? Tidus: We'll think about it together. Auron: I suppose... Auron: Sin is Jecto. Auron: So surely the two of you are communicating. Auron: That could pose a security risk. Tidus: What're you saying? Auron: This may be problematic... Tidus: You can say that again... *Tidus can now move about the airship. Note that the save spheres are now Level 3, with the second option being to to go the airship* *Eventually Tidus finds his way to Yuna* Yuna: I've failed. Tidus: Why do you say that? Yuna: I always thought about how I would defeat Sin. Yuna: But... Yuna: Now, without the Ebon teachings to guide me, I... I don't know. Yuna: Sorry... Kimahri: Don't apologize, Yuna. Yuna: Huh? Kimahri: It makes it sound like you are running away. Kimahri: Such is not like you. Yuna: You're right... Yuna: Thank you, Kimahri. Tidus: So does that mean you have an idea, then? Kimahri: The Ebon teachings. Yuna: But the teachings won't defeat Sin. Kimahri: The answer is not within the teachings, but outside them. Kimahri: When you understand both sides of the teachings, the answer will be found. Yuna: Hmm, the teachings... Kimahri: Kimahri would say to ask Maika, to make him tell you. Tidus: That's it! Good idea, Kimahri! Kimahri: Hmph. *Back on the bridge* Wakka: Hey! I had this great idea! Rikku: I thought of it! So I get to tell him! Wakka: Aaanyway... Rikku: No anyway! Lulu: It's all in the song. Wakka & Rikku: Aaah!! Tidus: The song? Lulu: Jecto likes the song of prayer... isn't that right? Tidus: Yeah. Rikku: Because we heard it at the bottom of the sea in Macalania, right? Lulu: So maybe hearing the song would keep Sin from being so aggressive... Wakka: But, hey... I'm sorry we're talkin' about your dad like this. Tidus: No, it's alright. Tidus: It can't be helped. Lulu: As I was saying. Lulu: We won't stand a chance if we face Sin head-on. Lulu: But, if he hears the song of prayer, it might lose its edge. Wakka: And then maybe we'd stand a chance, whaddya think!? Wakka: Well, it's not really playing fair, but I guess that's not the point... Wakka: Right? Rikku: Pretty nice plan, doncha think? Tidus: I'd say it's worth a try! "Speak to Cid to open the [Navimap]. Once you have selected your destination, you'll be taken directly there." *Tidus speaks to Cid Cid: So, figured out where yer headed? Cid: Wherever it is, it won't take long! *The group heads to the Great Bridge, located in the Holy Bevelle Shrine* Guard: Yuna, the traitor! Wakka: Gah, what a pain this is gonna be! Guard: You dare show your face here! We'll stop you, in the name of Ebon! Tidus: Well, what to do... Rikku: If they want a fight, they got it! Guard: Prepare to fight! Shelinda: Waaaait! Guard: Milady commander...? Shelinda: What on earth are you doing to Lady Yuna?! Shelinda: It was just a rumor started by the Al Bhed, that she was a traitor. Rikku: What did you say! Shelinda: This comes direct from Lord Maika. Guard: But, what should we do now? Rikku: Get outta here! Shelinda: If you please. Rikku: What did you mean by an Al Bhed rumor?! Shelinda: I have no idea really. Shelinda: The temples are in such a state of disarray... Shelinda: Just yesterday they called me here and appointed me commander of the gates. Auron: Seems like a personnel shortage. Shelinda: Yes, that's exactly it. It's been total chaos. Shelinda: Just terrible! Shelinda: The monks are trying to take care of everyone at once. Shelinda: Oh, what will become of the people of Ebon... Shelinda: But! Shelinda: There's not much I can do if everyone else is confused too! Shelinda: Best of luck to you, though. I shouldn't be complaining to you about it. Tidus: It's no problem, but is there a way for us to speak to the High Priest Maika? Shelinda: Sure! I think it'd be okay. Shelinda: Just go wait in the courtroom! Rikku: Wait! What about that Al Bhed rumor...! Auron: Don't worry about it. Auron: Maika is counting on Yuna as much as anyone. Rikku: Ohh... I get it. Lulu: It's like we're insects to him. Tidus: Well, let's go see him. Yuna: Right, let's go. *The group meets with Maika* Maika: You should know what you must now do. You must defeat Sin as quickly as you can. Maika: Meet with Yunalesca, and obtain the Ultimate Summon. Tidus: But we've already seen Yunalesca. Yuna: We defeated her. Maika: What!? Auron: No longer will Summoners and their Guards sacrifice themselves for the Ultimate Summon. Maika: You mean to say you have halted a tradition that has gone on a thousand years? Maika: Such a thing to do! What have you done? Do you even know? Maika: That was the only way to overcome Sin... Tidus: But it's not the only way to do it! We've thought of another. Maika: Wha... Maika: There is no other way! Auron: Perhaps you should turn tail and run to the Farplane? Maika: That was Spira's salvation. Now, there is no escape from destruction. Maika: The spiral of death is broken, and the Ebon Curse is complete. Maika: I'd like not to witness Spira's final moments... Yuna: That won't happen! Tidus: About the Ebon Curse... Lulu: Lady Yunalesca spoke of it as well. Rikku: Come on, gramps! What's the Ebon Curse? Maika: The compounded souls of the dead, come together and clad in armor. Maika: That armor is none other than Sin itself. Maika: Sin is the armor that protects the Ebon Curse. Maika: And you have destroyed the Ultimate Summon, the one thing able to pierce that armor! Maika: None can defeat it now. Wakka: Son of a bitch! He says whatever he wants, then runs away! Shelinda: Where is High Priest Maika? Yuna: Well, I... Auron: He's not here yet. We've just been waiting. Shelinda: That's strange... I will go look for him. Tidus: It's you... Child: Come to my room. Yuna: Okay... Wakka: Who were you talking to? Tidus: Oh, nobody. Yuna: I need to go see the Prayer Child. Auron: I see...... *Inside the Prayer Child's room* Prayer Child: Good. Yuna: We are ever in your debt. Tidus: You wanted to see us? Prayer Child: Have you found a way to keep Sin from being reborn? Tidus: Well, actually... * - We have an idea. - We haven't yet. Prayer Child: What will you do? * - The song of prayer! - We'll defeat the Ebon Curse! - We're not really sure. Tidus: If Sin hears the song of prayer, it might not fight back so much. Prayer Child: Perhaps... Yuna: Won't it work...? Prayer Child: It might not be so simple now that your father is Sin. Prayer Child: He might not be able to hear the song anymore. Tidus: That's a possibility... Tidus: But if there's even a chance, we've gotta try it. Prayer Child: I see... Prayer Child: You've truly done a great job... Prayer Child: Despite what you are. Tidus: I... I don't think I'm just a dream. Yuna: A dream? Tidus: Err... I'll explain later. Prayer Child: So what will you do? The song alone won't defeat it. Tidus: Well, actually... Prayer Child: What will you do? - The song of prayer! * - We'll defeat the Ebon Curse! - We're not really sure. Tidus: We'll defeat the Ebon Curse. Prayer Child: Right. Prayer Child: If you defeat the Ebon Curse... the cycle will stop. Prayer Child: But what do you know of the Ebon Curse? Tidus: It is the key to Sin's rebirth. Yuna: Sin exists as armor to shield it. Prayer Child: The Ebon Curse is the Summoners of old. Prayer Child: Now no longer Summoners. Prayer Child: They exist now only to continue their summoning. Prayer Child: Bearing neither malice nor ill intent, they wish only for their eternal dreaming. Prayer Child: Seems like eternity... is fleeting, isn't it? Tidus: Right, because we're going to end it. Prayer Child: Yes. Prayer Child: The Ultimate Summon would defeat Sin, but not the Ebon Curse. Prayer Child: The Ebon Curse would possess the Ultimate Summon's creature... Prayer Child: And it would become the new Sin. Yuna: The Ebon Curse possesses it... Prayer Child: Then the Ebon Curse can continue its summoning, protected by the new Sin. Tidus: For eternity......? Prayer Child: But eternity won't last... because you will bring an end to it. Tidus: Exactly. Prayer Child: The Ebon Curse is inside of Sin. Prayer Child: So, Yuna. Prayer Child: You must be willing to summon, when the time to fight the Ebon Curse comes... Prayer Child: We will do what we can to help you. Prayer Child: For I doubt your weapson and magic can defeat it. Prayer Child: So... call on us. Prayer Child: You must, without fail. Yuna: I will. Prayer Child: And you... Prayer Child: When the end comes... Prayer Child: We will no longer be dreaming. Prayer Child: Our dreams... will end. Tidus: I know. Tidus: You've been at it a long time. Prayer Child: I'm sorry... Tidus: Hey, I appreciate it! Yuna: What were you talking about? Tidus: Nothin'. Tidus: Really, it was nothing! Tidus: We gotta go defeat Sin! Then everything'll be okay! Yuna: You're hiding something. Tidus: No I'm not. Yuna: You sure? Yuna: You're bad liar... *Outside, they regroup, and Shelinda arrives* Shelinda: Well... I can't seem to find the High Priest anywhere. Tidus: Don't worry about it. Shelinda: Oh... are you sure about it? Rikku: We're sure! Rikku: Should we ask about the song? Tidus: Oh! That's right! Rikku: Um... could you help us get a message out to a bunch of people? Shelinda: Yes, what is it? Rikku: Have them watch for a ship high in the sky singing the song of prayer. Rikku: And to join in when they hear it. Wakka: People from all over Spira! Shelinda: I don't understand why, but... Rikku: That's fine, but can ya help us anyway?! Shelinda: Tell people to watch for a ship high in the sky singing the song of prayer. Shelinda: And have them join in when they hear it... right? Tidus: It might just allow us to defeat Sin. Shelinda: Really?! Yuna: Yes. Shelinda: Oh wow! Shelinda: Just leave it to me! I'll tell all of Spira! *Back on the bridge of the airsship, Tidus goes to the Navimap to head out* Wakka: I wanna try to set things straight. Wakka: I... I never really knew anything about the Al Bhed. Wakka: I never knew... because I never tried talking to any... Wakka: I was just prejudiced. Wakka: But, now, I... Wakka: I was wrong. I owe you the greatest of apologies! Cid: Hah, don't let yerself worry about it. Cid: I never cared much for the Ebon people either. Cid: But the world's got all kinds of people, both good and bad ones. Cid: That's all we gotta say about it. *Tidus speaks to Cid to open the Navimap* Cid: Ready to go when you are, for the big last stand against Sin! *The ship heads for the New Navimap location, Sin* Cid: We're gettin' close. Tidus: The Ebon Curse is inside Sin, and that's what we're gonna defeat. Cid: Pretty simplistic plannin' ya got there. Tidus: It's better not to get too complex with it. Cid: Very true. Rikku: Hey, hit that for me! Cid: This one? Cid: Like that? Rikku: Perfect! Lulu: A ship, high in the sky, singing...? Wakka: Now we just gotta see if everyone else sings too. *Brother: Sin! Tidus: Right, let's go! Wakka: You mean just head right inside it? Tidus: Isn't this the easiest way? Rikku: Yep. Lulu: Well, let's be off. Cid: Hey! Whaddya think you're gonna do!? Tidus: Maybe we can go in through the mouth, or just blow a hole in it, any way we can. Cid: What kinda shitty plan is that! *Brother: Let's help them out, father! Cid: Fine, we will! Tidus: You will?! Cid: Sure! Cid: You guys open him up, and we'll get you inside! Tidus: Got it! Cid: I won't tell ya to be careful, just try your best! Tidus: Got it!! *Brother: Wait! Brother: Ta..take care... of Rikku. Tidus: I swear I will. *Tidus heads up the airship and out onto the deck* Rikku: I can hear it! Lulu: I can, too... Rikku: Everyone's singing! Tidus: All because we asked them to! Tidus: Yuna. Tidus: You drop this? Yuna: Wha!? Tidus: You don't need it anymore! Wakka: Whoah whoah whoah... something's happening! Tidus: Damn you, father... Cid: Hey! You see its fins light up like that? Cid: We can't let it do that again! *Brother: Uh oh! *Cid: What's goin' on! *Brother: We're closing in on it! Rikku: He says we're closing in on Sin! Cid: You all get back inside! *Brother: Too late! It's here!! *The battle with Sin commences* Trigger Commands: Close In, Pull Away *After defeating the first of Sin's arms* Cid: All you guys get back! We're gonna nail 'im one! Cid: Fire! Tidus: You did it! Cid: You guys did yer fair share too! Cid: Okay! Cid: Now we gotta hit him on the other side too! Rikku: Alright already! *After the battle* Rikku: We've broke off the main shell... Cid: Stop! Get back in here! You don't know what yer gonna do after you're inside! Tidus: Sorry, we're going in!! Tidus: No backing down as long as you've got the strength to fight! That's the first rule of Blitzball!! Yuna: Let's do it! Tidus: Hey wait! I'm the Ace around here! *The party jumps down and battles Sin once again. Afterwards...* *Brother: Father! I.. I... I can't believe it! *Cid: Well you'd better believe it, 'cause here they come! *Brother: You did it, Rikku! Yuna: Think it'll be reborn...? Tidus: Probably. Cid: What!? Why d'you say that! Tidus: We're not totally through until we go inside it. Wakka: Now that we've done this much, we should just leave it to the Suppression Corps. Lulu: But even if we've weakening Sin, how can we be so sure of ourselves? Rikku: Totally! We can't be sure! Cid: Fine, but first we gotta make some repairs. *Tidus finds Yuna up on the top deck* Yuna: It must be so hard... for Jecto. Tidus: We should end it quickly. Tidus: Even the Prayer Children will help us. Yuna: I've been thinking about that... Tidus: Hmm? Yuna: They've always fought by our side, but this time they made a point of saying it... Tidus: Oh... I see. Yuna: Oh! Yuna: The Ebon Curses possesses the Summoned Beast, and that's how Sin is reborn... Yuna: And when I summon, the Ebon Curse will possess it. Yuna: Just... like a miniature Sin, isn't it? Tidus: Oh! Tidus: So we maybe we can win even without the Ultimate Summon! Yuna: Maybe we can, but then the Ebon Curse will just possess something else. Tidus: Well, if it does than we'll defeat it again! Tidus: Eventually it'll have no place to run to! Tidus: So...... Yuna: But if I don't... then nothing will change. Tidus: I guess not... Tidus: I mean, even the Prayer Child said they were tired. Tidus: We could give them a rest instead. Yuna: Prayer Child also said they would stop dreaming. Yuna: And... that their dreams would go away. Yuna: What did she mean by that? Yuna: What could the Ebon Curse be summoning from inside of Sin? Tidus: The Prayer Child's dream... Yuna: You... you won't go away, will you? Rikku: Hey you guys! Where'd ya go!? Look at Sin! Auron: Seems Jecto is waiting for us... Cid: What should we be doing? Not like we can be of much help from out here. Tidus: There's nothing left to do. Just take us right in front of it. Cid: Right. Cid: Set a course right in front of its mouth! Cid: It might get a little rough, so hold onto yer hats! Brother: I can do it. I will get you there safe. Tidus: We'll just jump off the top deck again! Yuna: Let's do this... for the sake of both our fathers! *The group heads to the top deck* Cid: Go get 'em! Tidus: Got it! Tidus: Wait for me, father! *The battle with Sin commences* [In-battle text boxes] "Sin is approaching." Sin's final attack: Mega Graviton *After the battle is won...* Tidus: Father! Where are you?! Auron: We should hold back for a moment. Tidus: We gotta keep going! I'll take the lead. Yuna: Lead the way. Tidus: Let's go. *The party progresses into the bowels of Sin, eventually climbing some stairs and encountering an old friend* Seymour: Heh heh heh... Tidus: It's you, again! Seymour: Sin has accepted me. Seymour: And now as part of Sin, I will share in its eternal life. Seymour: For all time. Tidus: You're completely gone, aren't you. Seymour: I can guide my plans from here, for indeed... time is meaningless now. Seymour: My thanks to you for removing the threat of Yunalesca... Seymour: For without the Ultimate Summon, the only way to defeat Sin is lost. Seymour: Now, no one can stop it. Tidus: We're gonna stop it. Seymour: Not if can protect Sin from you. Seymour: You should thank me. I am only protecting your father. *Battle with Seymour commences. Partway through combat...* Seymour: Nowhere in Spira shall you find the relief you desire! Seymour: Come, I will give you your eternal rest!! *Once the battle is won...* Seymour: You fools... Wakka: Quick! Send him to the Farplane! Yuna: Okay! Seymour: Still so determined to finish me off...? Seymour: If you stop me... Spira's sorrow will never end. Tidus: Now to take care of Sin. *After proceeding much further in, the party finds Jecto* Jecto: So here we are, Auron. Auron: I'm sorry... Jecto: Hey. Tidus: Hey. Jecto: Ha! Not such a little brat anymore, are ya! Jecto: Guess you took yer vitamins and all, huh? Jecto: You've grown. Tidus: Still not as big as you. Jecto: Hahahaha! Jecto: That's just 'cause I'm Sin, though! Tidus: Quit laughing. Jecto: Haha... Jecto: Well, so, anyway... Jecto: How 'ya doing? Tidus: Father. Jecto: Huh? Tidus: It doesn't matter... Jecto: Hahahaha... Jecto: It's okay. Jecto: I'm not sure what to do either. Tidus: Yeah... Jecto: I couldn't really hear the song, you know. Jecto: Much as I wanted to... I'm Sin through and through now. Jecto: But it's good to see you again. Jecto: And, well... Jecto: I haven't been myself... since it all began. Jecto: No way I coulda planned on this! Jecto: But I don't regret it. Tidus: It's alright! Tidus: There's no use talking anymore! Jecto: ...you're right. Jecto: Well, here we go again!! Tidus: We're gonna put a stop to this! Tidus: This very second! *The battle commences* Trigger Command: Speak [Speaking, with Tidus] Tidus: We're not gonna lose! [Speaking, with Tidus again] Tidus: No way I'm gonna lose to you! [Jecto is confused!] [Jecto's power lowered] [Speaking, with Tidus again] There is nothing else to say... *After the battle is won* Jecto: Cryin'... cryin'... always cryin'... Look, yer crying, Tidus: I... I hate you... Jecto: Haha... won't be long now. Tidus: Because... it's all going to end. Jecto: You understand. Just what you'd expect from the son of the Great Jecto. Tidus: Yes... that's right. Tidus: I'm glad... to have been your son. Jecto: Pft... Yuna: Jecto... Yuna: I... Jecto: No, Yuna! There's no time! Tidus: Get away from us! Jecto: Yuna, do you understand? Jecto: Your Summoned Beasts... Prayer Child: Us. Jecto: Call them forth! Prayer Child: Call us forth! Yuna: ...yes. Lulu: It's coming! Tidus: Yuna! *The group must now defeat each of Yuna's Summoned Beasts. Once chosen, it is possessed by the Ebon Curse, and can no longer be summoned.* *After defeating all the Summons* Tidus: Everyone! Tidus: This is the last time we're gonna fight together. Nice knowin' ya! Wakka: Wha? Tidus: How to say this... Tidus: When we've defeated the Ebon Curse... I will disappear! Lulu: What's that supposed to mean!? Tidus: I'm saying... goodbye! Rikku: Don't... Tidus: I'm sorry about it has to be this way! Tidus: But, this is my story! *The party battles the Ebon Curse. Afterwards...* Auron: Keep going. Yuna: But if I do... Auron: It's fine. Auron: I've waited ten years for this. Auron: Now, it is your time. Tidus: I've gotta get going. Tidus: Sorry... I won't get a chance to take you to Zanarkand. Tidus: See you around! Wakka: Hey, wait! Rikku: Hey! Will we ever see you again?! Kimahri: Yuna! Yuna: Thank you. Lulu: Yuna, it's time... Yuna: We have all made many... so, so many sacrifices. Yuna: We will never know just how much we have lost, it's been so much. Yuna: But now... Yuna: Sin is no more. Yuna: Never to be reborn again. Yuna: From here on... Yuna: Now... it is our time. Yuna: Still, things may not go exactly as we want them to, but give it time... Yuna: And it will be alright. Yuna: If we stick together, we'll pull through in the end. Yuna: One last thing. Yuna: Think fondly of those that could not be with us today... Yuna: And remember them. THE END
