Another explosion of light disturbed the usual calm of sanctuary. Through the debris and destruction ran a group of six. The group consisted of Kain, Yuna, Laguna, Lightning, Tifa, and Vaan. Each one just as surprised by the turn of events as the next. They had awakened at sanctuary and before them stood the goddess they had fought for herself. Shortly after they awoke the ten warriors that defeated Chaos began arriving. The first to speak was the Warrior of Light. "Cosmos we have defeated Chaos why have we yet to return home and who are they?" Lightning and the other five could feel their spirits go down at the thought of the friend they had fought to protect and keep safe not knowing who they were. Suddenly Cloud stepped forward "Tifa" he looked surprised "what are you doing here?" "Yuna you too what is going on?" At this question everyone looked to Cosmos for an answer. "My warriors it is time for you to know true peace as a reward for your tiring battles." With the words Cosmos held up a hand to her warriors. That's when it happened the burning pain started searing throughout their bodies. Cosmos's six former warriors couldn't believe their eyes their first thought was to charge Cosmos when suddenly her voice broke through their thoughts. "If you interrupt the process your friends will die." That was enough to get them to stand still. From their distance Lightning could just make out a sort of energy flowing from her friends that's when she recognized it. It was the power Cosmos had given them in the twelfth cycle what was she doing with it? Suddenly a stunning flash broke through her thoughts. Looking at the warriors she was in awe Cosmos had forced the crystals out of their bodies. "Cosmos why?" came a low pain filled groan from the Warrior of Light. "Hush my warrior it will all be over soon." and with a wave of her hand and the crystals were crushed. Just like that the warriors on the ground stopped complaining they stopped moving entirely. Slowly and somewhat stiffly they got off the ground and began to kneel in front of Cosmos. "What have you done to them?" yelled Tifa. "I have given them true peace. They know longer have to worry about pain, life, happiness, and sadness they are utterly at peace. For you see the crystals cleanse a person's mind of everything family, friends, and heartache. It leaves their minds completely blank." "But why would you want to do that?" "I am the goddess of harmony am i not i have done them a kindness. Alas i cannot do the same for you. You died before you could receive the crystal's eternal gift. That only leaves one option...My friends kill them. With Shinryu gone there is no more resurrection so in a way i am also giving you the gift of eternal peace.
