Final Fantasy VII-2:

AVALANCHE of Gullwings!

Summary: -ignore the crappy title, please- Shortly after Dirge of Cerberus, The Planet has realized that it is in grave danger from a familiar enemy of the future--SIN, a WEAPON gone bad that seems to think it wise to attack Gaia before Summoners are there to stop it. The Planet's solution is simple: get a Summoner into the past to stop it. And that is how Yuna, Rikku, Paine, and a few select guests ended up in the Spira of the past. Post-DoC, Post-"Awesome Sphere!" hunt/mission

Pairings: Canon (including one-sided), I.E. CloudTifa, CloudAerith, ZackAerith, VincentLucrecia, HojoLucrecia, CidSherra, onesided YuffieVincent, onesided ElenaTseng, onesided TsengAerith, onesided RudeTifa AS WELL AS TidusYuna, WakkaLulu, BarthelloDona, onesided BrotherYuna, onesided SeymourYuna, AND MORE.

Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy X/X-2 or Final Fantasy VII. Trust me, if I owned VII, Gast would be evil instead of Hojo and Vincent would have been a paranormal detective like he was originally designed to be. And X-2 would've had more Dresspheres, and Baralai, Gippal, and Nooj would be playable characters at some point, too. Go away now while I mourn this horrible loss.

Disk One,
Prolog

"This is not possible," a voice that is neither male nore female says with obvious anger as the Lifestream pulses like a heartbeat, turbulent, yet somehow still stable. "My darling Weapon...defected! How is it that this happened?!"

"Mater Gaea, please calm down," a different voice, clearly male and quite upset, requests. The Lifestream flickers and a figure emerges from Its thickest part, cloaked in black with all of its features hidden from view. "Your Children above are feeling your anger in the form of disasters some are not equipted to handle."

After but a breath, the Lifestream seems to slow, becoming slightly more soothing as It moves to gently brush against the figure. "Yes." The unisex voice sounds calmer, mirroring the waves of the Lifestream. "Yes, of course you are right, Frater Ifrit. I am afraid I allowed the memories of Anger to take over for a breif moment."

"It is quite all right, as well as understandable, Mater." The voice sounds rather relieved. "Do not fret."

"Frater, many of my Children threaten to fall," the unisex voice says--and despite its echoing power, suddenly it sounds very childish and weak. "Is there nothing that can be done about our newest threat?"

"Nothing I can say for certain, Mater. However..."

The male voice suddenly stops, a thoughtful breath following.

"Yes?" the unisex voice asks, both intrigued and mildly excited. The Lifestream drifted even closer to the cloaked figure, carressing its body carefully with Its waves. "Do continue, my Frater of the Flames..."

"The future might hold an escape route," the male voice says, suddenly calm, but weary at the same time. The unisex voice hisses as if burnt and the Lifestream draws back somewhat from the form It had just been carressing, but the black-cloaked figure is unaffected. "Soror Shiva has recently shown Your Council an image of the future, of this threat being defeated by a distant descendent of Your closest Children, the Cetra--quite possibly the true Last Cetra. If You, Mater, would gather with Your Council and assist in bringing that Cetra to the past...we could have a way out. It may not be guarenteed, but it is definately a better option than just sitting back and hoping Soror Shiva's children and their companions will rouse in time to defeat a Weapon more powerful than all of the other ones combined."

Silence follows this, not so much as a breath breaking it. Finally, a sigh--from the unisex voice.

"It shall be done," decides the great voice wearily. The Lifestream gradually drifts closer to the cloaked figure. "Be gone now, Frater Ifrit. You and your siblings must rest if you are to be of any use during the upcoming war. After all..."

Even as the cloaked figure fades into the Lifestream, the unisex voice chuckles dryly.

"Something tells me we have more than three disks, a movie, an anime, and about three other video games to face for this story to come to fruition."

And with that, the figure is gone, leaving only the gently pulsing Lifestream in its wake.
