The giant Aeon-- Braska's Finally Summoning-- transformed back into
Jecht. He stood in the center of the arena, wavering. He was dying.
Auron watched as his old friend died before him. "....." He had nothing to say. He bowed his head; then as if he knew what was coming, he stepped aside as Tidus ran past him.
Tidus ran toward his father, Jecht, catching him right before he fell. For a moment, they embraced in a hug. Tidus situated Jecht in a laying position. Tidus held his upper half, crying.
"....Heh.. you're gonna cry.... you always cry.... see, you're cryin'." He chuckled wearily. Tidus cried. He didn't care anymore. His tears streaked down his cheeks and into his mouth.
"...I hate you, Dad." he sobbed. "But you know.... for the first time I'm glad........ to have you as my.... father."
Jecht smiled weakly. Yuna stepped forward from behind Lulu, Wakka, and Rikku. "Sir Jecht.... I--"
He interrupted her. "Yuna, there's no time! The Aeons!" The purple hooded boy fayth appeared. "We Aeons!" Jecht spoke again. "Call them!" "Call us!" repeated the fayth.
"Yes," replied Yuna. She took out her Summoner's staff. Yu Yevon flew in circles around them, getting a bit close. "YOU STAY AWAY!" Yelled Tidus, while swiping his hand through the air. Jecht's body had begun breaking apart and turning into pyreflies. He held his hand out, as if longing to be with his son, but it was too late. Jecht's body was now dead and in the form of pyreflies. His soul was now at the Farplane.
The ground shook, causing everyone to fall. Tidus slowly lifted his head to find Yuna standing with her staff out. He stood up. "Yuna!" he yelled. Yuna nodded and summoned her Aeons.
*Auron, Yuna, and Tidus fight and kill Valefor, Ifrit, Ixion, Shiva, and Bahamut, then Yu Yevon himself..... moments later...*
Yuna danced and twirled her staff, sending her poor Aeons to the Farplane. She caught sight of Shiva and Valefor as they shattered into blue dust. Sin's fin, too, broke apart. The airship gently flew out from Sin, just in time to see it spread across the Calm Lands. Yuna finished her dance only to see that Auron, too, was being sent.
He had a small smile on his face. "...Don't stop." Yuna stopped nontheless. "But, I.." he interrupted her. "...It's been...... long enough." He walked past everyone, pausing at Kimahri to pat him on the chest. He took out his sword and swung it over his shoulder. He proceeded to walk to the center of the arena; pyreflies flew everywhere. He turned, just before his sending was finished. He looked at Tidus. "This is your world now!" .....he was gone.
They were back on the airship, flying toward the sun rising. Everyone was happy; Tidus, too, despite the fact his father was now dead. He felt something wrong and looked at his hands. They changed green and black and transparent for a moment. He looked up to find Yuna standing in front of him.
She shook her head. He tucked his hands in his back pockets. "...Yuna, I have to go." She shook her head again. He took his hands out. "I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand.... Goodbye!" he jogged toward the center of the airship.
Rikku piped up, "You'll be coming back...?!" Tidus stopped to look at the sunset once more. He turned around as soon as he heard Kimahri yell, "Yuna!" She was running toward him, crying, arms extended.
He extended his arms to catch her. She reached him, closing her arms as soon as she was near him. She gasped and stumbled, falling through Tidus. He stood, sadly, staring at his semi-transparent hands and closed his eyes as pyreflies flew around him.
Yuna lay on her stomach near the edge of the airship as one of Tidus' pyreflies flew near her face. She slowly got to her knees, then stood up. She stared at the sunset, then closed her eyes, softly murmuring, "I love you." Tidus turned around, shocked. He then realized that he truly loved her too. He slowly walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her chest/neck area. He couldn't feel her at all, but being with her was what mattered to him. He rested the side of his face against the side of her head. He closed his eyes, then opened them while he walked through Yuna. He inhaled deeply and ran, jumping off the airship when he got to the edge. He glided past Braska, Auron, then Jecht. When he reached Jecht, he gave him a high-five then felt peace and calm sweep over him. He was dead.
Yuna stood on the docks of Besaid Village, whistling with all her might. "Tidus.... please answer.." she thought. She whistled again, but stopped when she heard Lulu.
"...Yuna, it's time." She turned and headed toward the S.S. Liki. Yuna sighed and stared into the water, eventually turning and following Lulu.
Yuna approached the podium at Luca Stadium, feeling a bit nervous. She cleared her throat, "...Everyone... Everyone has lost something precious. Friends.... family.... and dreams. Now, Sin is finally dead, never to return!" The people of Luca cheered loudly. "Now we can build new dreams, new homes, and families! It may take a while, but we have time." She turned and saw Kimahri, Lulu, Rikku, and Wakka smiling at her. Wakka motioned to her that she did a good job.
She turned to face the crowd once more. "...One more thing. For the friends and family we have lost........ and the dreams that have faded.... Never forget them." The crowd gave one final cheer.
Meanwhile, activity slowly arose in the water of Besaid Village. pyreflies flew around a bundled up body; one passed through it.
Tidus lifted his head, awakening. He extended his arms and legs, stretching. He felt immense happiness rush over him as he swam toward the surface. Sunlight shown on his face as his head peeked out from the water....................
