This is not season two, since there wasn't really much of a plot to the first part. Off to the story!

Chapter 9 – Returning to Reality

Zell continued on his journey with Cloud, Barret, and Tifa to find his way back home.

Zell: So what are we doing here in this reactor?

Tifa: We have to blow it up, that's what.

Zell: Oh. Anyway, sorry about earlier Cloud.

Cloud: (...)

Reaching the reactor, they walk across many flights of stairways.

Tifa: So much mako. Shinra just keeps absorbing all the energy of the planet. The planet's energy has unimaginable effects.

Cloud: Zell, be sure not to step in.

Zell punches Cloud.

Zell: Watch your step.

Cloud: What the hell? You punched me.

Barret: We're here.

Zell: Wow that was quick.

Tifa: Plant the bomb.

Zell: Ok. This goes here. That goes there. Ok. Setting the timer for...20 minutes.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep-beep-beep-be-be-be-be.

Cloud: Zell, you idiot, you set it for 20 seconds!

Zell: Wait, I know how to defuse it.

Zell goes up and cuts the red wire. In that moment, the bomb exploded. KABOOM! However, the force was so strong that it knocked Zell into the mako water before he died.

Voice: Wake up Zell. Wake up!

Zell found himself in some ruins with Squall.

Squall: Thank goodness we found you. Where have you been?

Zell: Long story. What happened while I was gone?

Squall: Well, Rinoa's eyes turned red so she became evil and started to cast a spell that would destroy the world. The garden is destroyed and we're still recovering the students.

Zell: Where are the others?

Squall: Quistis is checking the students for injuries. Stephie is having everyone who's healed rebuild the garden.

Zell: And Irvine?

Squall: (...) He's dead.

To be continued.

Cloud: We're dead thanks to that idiot. Or at least floating in white space.

Tifa: We're destined for a life of desolation. Floating in the white abyss.

Cloud: Or we could just reset the game.

Barret: Good idea. Now how do we reset the game?

Everyone: (...)
