Tidus woke up surrounded by darkness. The last thing he remembered was being swallowed whole by Sin, by his old man.

"Hello." He called out into the abyss.

One by one everyone else yelled out that they were there. Suddenly light filled the room. They were inside the temple, more specifically the Chamber of the Fayth, but they weren't alone. In front of them stood a man about Auron's age. He wore no shirt and had multiple scars over his body.

"You're late Auron." the man told the guardian.

"I know."

"Dad?" Tidus queried, "Is it really you?"

"It's me." Jecht responded, "Good to see you, kid."

"You too."

"You've grown so much."

"Yeah. But you're still bigger."

"How's your mother been?"

"She died shortly after you disappeared." Tidus was in tears now, "She died waiting for you. How could you do that to us! If it wasn't for you mom would still be alive! I hate you!"

"You have no idea how much I wanted to come back." Jecht told his son, "But I didn't have any choice in the matter."

"I…. Never thought of it that way."

"I hate to break up this little reunion." Wiggy interrupted, "But are we going to have a climactic fight to the death that will affect the very balance of good and evil? Or are we going to listen to this sob story all day?"

The girls looked completely shocked at how rude Wiggy was being, while the guys all just shrugged in agreement.

"You're right." Jecht responded, "When the battle starts, I won't be myself anymore. I will be controlled by Yu-Yevon. Remember that and don't hold back."

At that moment a patch of darkness seemed to fill Jecht. His body began to bulge abnormally. His flesh turned odd shades of red and blue. Towering in front of them was something that more closely resembled a behemoth than Tidus' father. He was no longer Jecht, he was Yu-Yevon.

"Sara, can you purify him?" Wakka asked quickly.

"I don't know. I have no idea how I cast the purity beam in the first place."

"So we have to do this the old fashioned way?"

"I guess so."

"Ok then." Jess started, "Griff what's the plan?"

Griff pondered this for a moment. "Tidus, didn't you once tell me about a double-team blitzball move you and Wiggy perfected?"

"Yeah, put Keepa out of action for months, what about it?"

"Perfect! Yuna, summon Valefor. Tidus and Wiggy will use him for a launching pad to make sure they get high enough to hit that thing square between the eyes. Wakka, you're in charge of getting your blitzball up to them in time with the attack."

"What about the rest of us?" Jess asked.

"Sara will just concentrate on powering up her purity beam. Remember that even if we do beat Jecht, he only represents the spirit of Sin, we will still be inside the beast. Kimahri, Paul, Shawn and Jess can start fighting for now. Lulu, Cam, and Rikku can help me out with plan B."

Shawn, Jess, Paul, and Kimahri began to attack their foe. They had a definite speed advantage over their large adversary, but their weapons didn't seem to affect him at all.

"It's no use." Shawn yelled back after narrowly avoiding a clumsy swing by the monster, "We need backup!"

"We need just a little bit more time." Griff yelled back, "How are the other's doing?"

Before Shawn could answer, a large eagle flew over them with Tidus and Wiggy riding on top. Plan A was ready.

"I- I don't know if I can throw that high." Wakka admitted.

"Don't worry about it!" Shawn yelled back to him, "It'll make it."

Inspired by these words, Wakka gathered up all the courage, the strength inside of him and threw the ball with all his might. The ball climbed steadily towards Wiggy and Tidus. It climbed closer and closer. It continued like this until it was approximately four feet below it's intended target. It then lost all of it's upward energy and began to descend.

"Paul! Kimahri!" Shawn yelled, "Give me a boost!"

Both Paul and Kimahri swung their spears baseball style simultaneously and, in a feat that most members of the party would have deemed a physical impossibility if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Shawn jumped and landed on the shafts of both spears in mid-swing, effectively catapulting him into the air. Shawn's path crossed with the descending blitz ball's. This allowed him to grab it and throw it back up to Wiggy and Tidus.

The two of them executed their double-team move. The ball hit Yu-Yevon right on the bridge of the nose at a speed of mach-2. The beast's head lurched back from the impact. It wasn't down, but it was definitely dazed from the shot.

"What do we do now?" Jess cried, "Nothing else affects it."

"That's where plan B comes in." Griff smirked ever so arrogantly. He moved aside to show Cam holding what at first glance appeared to be Griff's ultimate swallowtail. But upon closer look it became apparent that he had gotten Lulu to weld Rikku's wrist blades to the ends of Cam's nunchucku and then weld the chain of the weapon into a solid bar, effectively creating a second swallowtail.

"Ok then Macgyver, how is that supposed to help?" Wiggy asked after landing back on the ground.

"Observe."

Griff handed his own swallowtail to Rikku, who proceeded to interlock it with Cam's. Griff then began to concentrate on his overdrive, the one he used at Mushroom Rock Road. His swallowtail began to hover and spin rapidly, spinning the girls and the other swallowtail with it. Griff psychically sent the weapon forward, straight into the pelvis of the beast. The power of the four spinning blades, along with the added force of the two girls, cut a hole right through Yu-Yevon. The monster screamed in pain for what seemed like years before eventually toppling over. The battle was over.

"We won!" Yuna cheered, "Sin is defeated."

"Not yet it isn't" Paul pointed out, "Look at that."

They all turned to look at the corpse. The dark shadow that had before possessed Jecht now floated out of his body, returning Jecht to his normal form. It was looking for someone else to take control of. The shadow shot towards Lulu.

"Sara! Now!" Jess shouted.

White light shot out of Sara's body in all directions, engulfing everything in site. The spirit of Yu-Yevon, the temple, Jecht's body, Tidus, Wakka, Lulu, Yuna, Kimahri, Rikku, and Auron all disappeared. All that remained was the seven friends from the outside.

-----------------

"Congratulations" Jecht's voice greeted them, "You have completed the game."

"Where are we?" Shawn asked.

"You are in a rest stop between your world and Spira. Think of it as a digital nirvana."

"A digi-whooby-whatey?" Wiggy inquired.

"A separation between two dimensions." Griff answered, "Honestly, how did you become the one in charge of the group?"

"Can we just get on with this?" Sara asked, "I want to go home."

"Right." Jecht agreed, "It is my solemn duty to inform you that once you return to your world you will retain no memories of the events that transpired. The last thing you will remember is Griff running upstairs to find the game."

"So it will be like this never happened?" Griff asked.

"Yes."

As if a large burden had just been lifted off his chest, Griff smirked and looked at Cam standing beside him. In a move no one there truly expected, Griff swept his best friend off her feet, took a moment to stare longingly into her eyes, and placed upon her the most passionate kiss in the history of mankind. Their lips remained locked, until they and everyone else were engulfed in the bright white light.

-----------------

Griff walked back downstairs empty-handed. He couldn't find the game, but for some reason he couldn't explain he didn't care. In fact, he had never felt happier.

"About time" Sara joked, "If I had to sit here watching Wiggy and Jess make out much longer I'd go crazy"

"Hey, we weren't that bad" Jess scoffed.

"Yes you were", Paul cut in, "It was quite hot really"

"Shut up Paul" Everyone said in near unison.

"So Griff, where's the game?" Cam asked.

"No idea." Griff responded.

"Cam, your face is crimson." Shawn laughed, "What's going on?"

"I……… Nothing. Nothing is going on."

"Griff, what did you do?" Wiggy inquired.

"Nothing. We're just friends." Griff responded.

"Anyone want to watch a movie?" Sara asked quickly. She could see that the two of them were both too block headed to admit what was really going on between them.

"How about Advent Children?" Shawn suggested, "There's this great scene on there where this one guy with a spear swings it like a baseball bat to catapult another guy into the air."

"For some reason I think I've seen that one." Paul replied.

"How about some horror movie then?" Jess suggested, always looking for a reason to cuddle up to Wiggy.

They put on the movie Pet Sematary and all crowded onto the couch to watch. Although she wasn't sure, Sara thought she saw Cam lean her head on Griff's shoulder about ten minutes in.

"Those idiots." she thought to herself as she went back to watching the movie, "They're the only ones who don't see it."

The End

-----------------

Jecht: I promised myself I wouldn't cry.
Patrick: Is that why you're not crying?
Jecht: Yes. Yes it is.

Griff: Hey guys.
Jecht: Hey Griff...wait! When did you get here?
Griff: Just now.
Jecht: Oh, well, I'll be going now.
Patrick: See you around.
Griff: Now, first of all, I would like to thank all of my loyal readers and reviewers. I would especially like to thank The Third Demi-God and I. Rhodes, who both reviewed almost every chapter with great tips and feedback. Thank you.
Patrick: You say "first of all", does that mean there's something else.
Griff: As a matter of fact there is, thanks for asking.
Patrick: It's not like I have a choice, you ARE writing exactly what you want me to say.
Griff: Do you want the news or not?
Patrick: Ok!
Griff: Just because elements beyond my control ruined my will to write this story doesn't mean I've given up completely. So I just wanted to let my readers be the first to know that I will (hopefully) have several new projects coming up soon, including but not limited to my next major project, a sequel to Eternal Sins. This new story will feature new characters as well as returning favourites getting stuck in the world of FFVII. I should have the first chapter up by the end of the weekend at the latest.
Patrick: Do I get to host again?
Griff: No.
Patrick: Oh...bye to my legions of fans then.
Griff: See you on the other side.
