No one went back to bed that night. Snow took Yeul's body to a cave nearby so no monsters would attack her. Vanille kept crying as Hope tried to comfort her. Fang collected flowers to surround her body with, it only seemed right. Sazh kept poking at the fire, wondering how life could be so cruel to a little girl. Noel went off, he didn't want to talk to anyone, even Lightning. She stayed at camp near the fire as well, wondering what would happen now. Yeul had her vision, which meant that they changed the future. Today, they would go home.
Wouldn't they?
She couldn't sit still anymore. She got up and started to hit a nearby tree with her gunblade. Everything sucked at this moment, and she hated it.
By early morning, everyone was as ready as they could be. Noel had come back to the group but didn't speak. Lightning felt a tight feeling in her chest whenever she saw him. She wanted to comfort him, but how? It was just too difficult to even try. She just started to walk west and looked back,
"We have to get going now…"
And so, they started the trek towards the final battle.

Walking in silence, the group of heroes started to truly realize the fight they were about to get into. Maybe they all wouldn't survive, maybe they would all live. So many possibilities but no real definite future. Lightning lead the group with her head up, but her spirits down. What was she supposed to say to all of them? "Sorry guys a little girl just died seeing your future, but hey: you get to walk out of here today hopefully!" That was just not going to work for this. Snow growled and screamed,
"Oh dammit this is enough!"
Everyone looked at him, wondering what on earth he was going to say now.
"Look, we can't be like this. We have to be ready. We have to win this battle for Yeul! We have to make it out of here for her! If we don't she will have died for nothing!"
Sazh spoke up,
"Trench Coat is right. If we lose this battle, then the vision Yeul saw would have been a waste. We gotta do this for her!"
Everyone smiled. The two elder men actually made sense. Should they lose this battle, they will have changed history again and Yeul would have died for no reason. They cheered and started to run to their destination, in hopes of keeping Yeul's vision a reality. Everyone except Light and Noel. Light put her hand in Noel's,
"Come on, you too. We can do this together."
Noel's face turned pink and Light turned crimson red. She started to run with him. He dragged on behind her and started to think to himself. This is what Yeul wanted. A family that cared for one another and never left another behind. He would follow this family, and be a part of it, just like Yeul wanted.

Hope kept running and saw the temple in sight. He shouted,
"Get ready! We're almost there!"
Just like that, everyone kept running and pulled out their weapons. Sazh grabbed his guns and kissed them both for good luck. Fang grabbed her spear and twirled it around while Vanille took out her binding rod and grappled a tree branch close by. She swung over everyone in front of her and landed next to Hope, who grabbed his Airwing from behind him. Snow adjusted his gloved and bumped his fists one more time. Lightning let go of Noel's hand and grabbed her gunblade. Noel reached and got his dual blades and nodded at her. The heroes continued their charged, guns blazing, no turning back. Gorgamog would be waiting for them, and they would be ready to fight until the bitter end.
