A.N. WOO! FINAL CHAPTER! THIS ONE WILL WRAP UP EVERYTHING! You guys can practically guess what's the situations with the certain texts.

Light's P.O.V.

I looked at the large crystal that had just broken, and was amazed at the sight. Dark, who had just fulfilled his Focus, was alive and well, and appeared to be ready to kill. "Dark!" I yelled, amazed at his survival.

"Light. Don't you remember what you told me? I come back after the ultimate attack, and kick his ass!" He said, smashing the front of the crystal, enabling him to walk out, completely engrossed in a blinding Light. He put his hand to the cloth that now hung loosely from below his ear, and ripped the cloth away from his face, enabling us to see the thin lips, standard nose, and rounded chin. "Now, let's get to the end for this Final conflict." He said, summoning his Gunblade, with a glowing green edge on the blade. I jumped to beside him, and faced Caius. Dark created a glowing, yellow chain from what seemed to be nothing, and threw it at Caius, piercing his body and latching into it. Dark then started to pull on the chain, as if trying to get something out, when he yelled to us, "Don't just stand there, HELP!" I nodded, then grabbed some of the chain behind him, pulling as well. Squall fell in behind me, followed by Terra, Balthier, Fran, and Cloud on the end. We all pulled, and eventually, a purplish substance fell out of him, and started coming towards us. Dark got his Gunblade out, and made a single slash, cutting it in half, and it being absorbed into his sword. Caius looked at us with horror in his eyes, and he screamed.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?" He yelled.

"Simple. Montezuma's Revenge. It's an attack that I can use that can remove people's Souls, or their Immortality." He said, raising his Gunblade. Caius turned his face into one of anger, and then charged at us. Dark and I quickly moved our Gunblades in front of us, and they immediately stabbed him, running completely through his body. Caius gasped for air, but quickly found that he couldn't. Caius looked at Dark, then at me, and back at Dark.

"W...Who are you?..." He choked out, blood coming out from his mouth.

"Darkanimir. I'm the last God." Dark said, enticing a gasp from everyone.

"N..No..." Caius said with his last breath, his eyes rolling into the back of his head, and fell slack on our swords, dead. We pulled our swords out from his carcass, Dark's blade glowing and getting all of the blood off instantly. He sent his Gunblade away, and looked at all of us.

"Thank you. You have all done well. For your efforts, I shall grant each of you one wish. Fran, Balthier?" Dark asked them.

They looked at each other, and they nodded, and said, "The initial price that we agreed on."

"What, you don't want the additional millions?" He asked them.

"On the contrary. This has been most fun. Fran and I couldn't possibly go and take the rest of the money." Balthier explained. Dark nodded, walked over to his large Crystal sculpture, and broke off two large chunks from the top. He then turned and handed them to the two.

"A fortune, one not of value, but of sentiment. You can use these to remember of all of the excitement that this journey gave you." Dark explained.

"Thank you." Fran said to him, and stepped back, followed by Balthier. Terra then walked up to him, and held her hands together, and her head down.

"I want a Moogle of my own, one that doesn't mind having his Pompom ruffled." She asked of him. Dark put his hand into one of his sleeves, and pulled out one Moogle, with a large Pompom. He handed the little guy to Terra, who started to mess with the Pompom. The Moogle gave off a little purr, and Terra exclaimed, "Thanks, Dark!" Squall watched her skip back next to Balthier and Fran, then walked up to Dark.

"I want to make sure that all of the orphans have good homes." Squall asked.

"Done. I shall see to it myself." Dark said. Squall walked over to the line that was forming, and Cloud came up.

"I want proof that Sephiroth is removed from the Lifestream." Cloud asked. Dark waved his hand, and a large window appeared. It showed a section of a green stream, what had to be the Lifestream that Cloud was talking about. The green streams of light then started shifting around, until they glowed gold, then moved back to its green color.

"There. Sephiroth is nothing more than a bad memory now." Dark said. Cloud smiled, a first for him, and walked over to the line. Dark turned to me, and asked, "So, Claire, what would you like?"

"Oh, um...I..don't really know..." I said, scratching the back of my head. "I guess...I want Serah and Hope to stay safe, for the rest of their lives."

"Done." He said, raising two doll versions of my sister and the younger boy, and having them surrounded by a blinding light. "I also gave them their own immortality. However, this one is specific. They won't die from any injury or disease, but they will from age." He added.

"T..Thank you." I said to him. He nodded, then sent the dolls away.

"Guys, could I ask you all for some time alone with Lightning?" He asked them. They all nodded, then proceeded to walk out of the door to this room. After it was shut, Dark turned to me.

Dark's P.O.V.

"Claire, I'm sorry that I was this mysterious. I couldn't let you know that I was a God. If people saw a God as a l'Cie, then I would never be able to live it down. And that they would be without hope, since Gods could also become cursed, like they would." I explained to her.

"I..It's okay. I can completely understand. Now, what are you the God of? I heard somewhere that the Gods control some certain thing. So, what is yours? War, the Sun? What?" She asked.

"Believe it or not, I'm the God of Agriculture. That's why my crystal was of wheat. I trained myself to use the Gunblade." I explained. I walked closer to her, and held her thin, slender hand in mine, and then said, "I do have a wish of my own."

"What do you wish for?" She asked me.

"Well, since I am the last God, I am now the King. Would...Would you like...to be...my Queen?" I asked her, my cheeks becoming hotter with every second. Lightning's hands formed half-balls in mine, as if she were trying to figure out whether or not this was a dream.

"Oh, well, what...exactly...do I get if I say yes?" She asked me.

"Well, you would become a God, which means that you are immortal, without any catches. You also have the complete control over whatever you want. But, like I said, the choice is completely yours. And I'm only offering you this because...well..." I started to say until Lightning collided her lips with mine, causing me to stop talking and simply accept the passion of the kiss. We stayed connected by our lips for a few minutes, but that felt like a millenia to us. After a while, we did have to break off for air.

"I love you, Dark." She said to me.

"I love you too, Claire." I responded, cupping the back of her head, which enabled the both of us to make out better.

"Alright!" I heard from the doorway as soon as we started making out. Lightning and I parted our lips in time to watch the rest of the party fall out from the door, which I could guess was opened enough to watch us.

"Guys, really?" I asked them, crossing my arms as I watched them pick themselves up. They all started to scratch their necks, feeling awkward in this situation. "Alright, let's get back to the airship." I said to them, wrapping my arm around Lightning, pulling her along with me.

When we got back to the Airship, Lightning and I escaped to my room. We immediately laid out on the hammock, wrapped in each other's arms. Lightning had her head rested on my chest, and kept her hand right under it, where my brand once was. I had both of my arms around Lightning, keeping her beside me during this entire time. She had wrapped her legs around mine, entwining us into one, massive human braid.

"So, if I become a God, then can I still appear human?" She asked me.

"Claire, all of the Gods appear human. We can simply shift our size on command. How else do you think that I can actually stay in this plane of existence if I couldn't?" I asked her.

"Oh." She said, snuggling back up with me. I kept her close, but I also undid her belt that held her Gunblade on her. I took the thing away from her, and set it down beside where she kicked off her boots, and I had removed my grieves. I looked down at her feet, which were now completely bare.

"What, you don't like socks?" I jokingly asked her. She laughed, then started to make her feet dance along the exteriors of mine.

A.N. WARNING! LEMON UP AHEAD. IF YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT YOU ARE INNOCENT, OR YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT A LEMON IS, THEN PLEASE, SKIP THIS SECTION. IF YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT WARNINGS, THEN JUST GO AHEAD. I'M A WARNING, NOT A COP!

"Well, I can do more when I'm not wearing them." She said. I chuckled, then pulled her body up so that our heads were within distance of each other. We both leaned in slowly, and our lips touched instantly, becoming a kiss. Our lips parted, and I could feel a strange force on the front of my teeth. I opened my mouth, and our tongues started to dance inside. It was a massive fight for dominance, with her tongue making fast, quick strikes at mine, while mine used cunning tactics, and hit where she was getting a weak spot. Eventually, my tactics won, and she accepted playing the follow role in this battle. While we were making out, I slid my hands out of my gauntlets, and started making a journey up her vest, stopping just south of her breasts.

"Ngh..Wait." Lightning said, parting lips with me and sitting up. She went to the front of her vest, and started to undo the buttons. After they were all undone, she took off the garment, tossing it to the other side of the room. She then went to the back of her bra, and quickly undid that, holding the cups defensively over her breasts, teasing me. I chuckled, then sat up to meet her, and we continued making out. While we were lip locked, I raised my hands to her arms, gently prying the cloth that they were holding onto away. After this, I could feel her hands move to close to my neck, where she quickly grabbed the end of the zipper, and slowly pulled it down, causing my chest to be revealed to the entire room. My hands went to her breasts, where they started kneading them, like dough. Through our connection from the lips, I could feel the ecstasy that I was giving her through the moans she was giving off.

"Mmh...Dark?" She asked, parting lips from me again.

"Yes?" I asked her.

"Don't ever leave me like that again." She said, pulling the coat and sash off of my torso, making us both bare chested in this room.

"As you wish." I said to her, kissing her again, where we again fought in a battle for dominance, where I prevailed yet again. I moved my hands to the front of her skinny jeans, where I slowly undid the button holding them together. After this, I slowly and stealthily pulled down the zipper on that, causing her to wiggle her hips, as if she were trying to get out of them. I happily complied, shifting positions so that she was resting on top of me, and using my hands to start the journey off of their wearer. As soon as they got past her ass, she started to shake her legs, the force of the motions causing the jeans to quickly pool around her feet, allowing her to literally kick them off of her body. After this, I let her attack the front of the sashes that made a belt for me. After that was thrown across the room, she went to the front of my pants, which had came to me with Auron's coat. She quickly undid the buckle that held the two sides together, and then practically tore them off of me. After that, I was in only my underwear, and she was in her panties.

"Oh, Gods, we...We're really about to do this, aren't we?" She asked me, looking down at both of our bodies, taking in all of the sights.

"Yes. Yes we are. If you would like to." I said to her, taking her hands in mine.

"I would love to." She replied.

"As you wish." I said to her. I went to her panties, and slowly slid them off of her frame, while she quickly made my boxers head straight to my knees. As soon as I was exposed to the cool air of the ship, my minor god extended, brushing up against Lightning. She and I entered another lip lock, where after I started fighting back, I moved so that I was on top of her. She parted from me and laid on the hammock, her blue eyes looking directly into my grays. She nodded, which I replied with another nod, and looked down to better line up with her. With a single thrust, I plowed directly into her, causing her to nearly scream in pleasure.

"Oh my Gods, I...I can't believe I haven't done this before..." She said, gripping my shoulder blades, trying to keep the recoil from the pain down to a minimum.

"Do you want me to back out now?" I asked her.

"No, I want you to love me, Dark. Now and forever." She said, kissing me again.

"As you wish." I said. I then started on our final leg for this race. I leaned down to kiss her, where I let her gain dominance in this round. She moved her arms from on my shoulder blades to around my neck, keeping her closer to me. I continually thrust my minor god into her, limiting the overwhelming strength that I have to a bare minimum, in order to keep her pelvis in one piece after we were done. I kept up the pace, with three thrusts every fifteen seconds, and I could feel her squirming in ecstasy under me. We shifted in our movements, with each push, we both pushed together. With each pull, we just barely parted, only barely entered. Lightning thrashed upon every muscle twitch. She dug her nails into my arms, trying to keep a bare grip on reality. I held my eyes open, barely able to function normally, and saw my vision getting black around the edges.

"D...Dark! I'm...gon...na..." Lightning managed to choke out, in between her moans. After three more thrusts, I could feel her juices splash against me almost instantaneously.

"Ka...me...ha...me...HA!" I yelled as I released my load deep into her. After we both started to flow back into reality, I flipped her back onto me, and we both collapsed in the hammock. I stretched out an arm and levitated a large sash over to us, using it to wrap around us like a blanket. Lightning pulled me closer to her, and I wrapped an arm around her, keeping her as close to me as possible.

"Don't let go." She told me.

"As you wish." I replied.

Light's P.O.V.

I laid there, next to Dark, my head resting on his chest, immediately after we fooled around. I was clamped around his midsection, almost like a leech on him. I was relaxed by the sound of his heart, which was beating with a massive beat. I closed my eyes, and I could actually feel the slow creeping of his seed inside me. *Let's just hope that nothing forms immediately.* I thought. I listened to his heartbeat again, and found that my eyes were starting to shut with each of the beats. I eventually complied, and quickly fell asleep, threading my legs in between his.

"Claire?" I heard from the realm of the awake.

"What? I wanna sleep..." I said, shutting my eyes even harder.

"Come on, Claire. We need to get up. We're about to go and let Squall and Terra off." Dark said to me, shaking my body. I reluctantly opened my eyes, and looked up to see Dark's smiling face staring at me, confirming that what had happened wasn't a dream. I smiled, and started to get off of him, his arm sliding away from me as mine slid out from him. I held the sash that he had gotten over my body, and gotten off of the hammock, wrapping the cloth around me. I walked over to the corner, and looked at the large pile of clothes that we had created after our skirmish. I quickly found my panties, which were on the top of the pile, and slid them on, the light blue fabric turning into a darker shade of blue as it reached the home position. I went over to the skinny jeans that were lying, crumpled, over one of my boots, and started to slide in them. Once they hit my ass, however, they decided to try and not cooperate. I decided to try and use force to get into the stupid things, and started to jump up and down repeatedly. I did this for a few seconds, until I felt another set of hands fall over mine, and they aided me in bringing them up to my waist. I went to button and zip the pants, and the hands kept where they were, by my waist.

"You're too kind, Dark." I said to him.

"Thank you." He replied. I walked over to the rest of my clothes, putting on my vest first, forgetting that I also had a bra to wear. *Fuck it.* I thought to myself, stuffing the garment into my back pocket. I walked over to the wall where my holster was, and put that on. Dark helped me put on my boots, him already in his pants and various sashes. As soon as I was ready, I told Dark that I would be going into the main cabin. He and I gave each other a quick peck, and I left, and went into the cabin. I took my seat behind Fran, who had Balamb in her sights.

"You and Dark had a lot of fun?" She asked me.

"Uh, you could say that." I said, noticing that Balthier was not in his usual seat, in the copilot chair.

"So, how was it?" She asked me.

"I'm sorry, what?" I replied, not understanding her.

"How was the sex?" She asked me, after hitting a key and turning her chair away from the controls.

"Uh...Why would you..." I started to say, my eyes wide open.

"Never try to have quiet sex near a Viera. There's a reason as to why we have these large ears." Fran said, motioning to her head. *Damn. I've got to remember that next time." I thought.

"Uh.. Shouldn't you be driving the ship?" I asked her, trying to turn the conversation.

"It's on Autopilot. So, how was it?" Fran asked again. I sighed, knowing that I would not be able to get out of this one.

"Yes, we did have sex. And it was wonderful. Now, can we get off this topic?" I asked her.

"Sure. By the way, you may want to take your bra out of your back pocket. Balthier's coming back, and I highly doubt that he won't notice your breasts hanging." Fran said, turning her chair again. I looked at her ears again, amazed at what they could do, when I remembered what she had told me. I quickly slid the undergarment out of my pocket, and put it on through the side of the vest. I had just gotten done straightening the straps not to show when Balthier came back in.

"Ah, it's good to see at least one other person up here. Squall, Terra and Cloud haven't come out of their rooms yet." Balthier said as he walked in. He sat down in his normal spot, and asked Fran, "So, did you girls have a nice chat while I was gone?"

"Yes. But it was strictly girl to girl. You can't get the information out of me." Fran said to him.

"I wasn't trying to find out." Balthier said to her, starting to flip some of the additional switches. Dark walked in after a few minutes and sat down behind Balthier. "Ah, good, now both of the lovebirds are here. So, how was the sex?" He asked Dark.

"WHAT?!" Dark and I yelled at him.

"Balthier!" Fran said, slapping the man behind his head, "One mustn't ask someone about their love life. Now shut up and keep helping me pilot."

"Alright... By the way, next time, try to be at least somewhat quiet. People in Kazham heard you two." Balthier said to us. Dark looked up at the ceiling, embarrassed, and I felt my cheeks growing hot, all of the blood rushing to them. I looked at Fran, who had turned her head towards me, and she nodded. Fran looked at Balthier, and smacked him straight across the face.

"Ow. What was that for?" Balthier asked her.

"Just because. You deserved it." Fran said, heading for the airport.

We let off Squall and Terra here, watching as they went back to where the Orphanage was, Terra's Moogle in her arms. The leaving was awkward, and Terra kept staring at us, as if we were some new, foreign object.

"I...I'm sorry, Terra. Why are you staring at us?" I had asked her.

"Oh!...Nothing...Nothing at all..." She said, her face starting to turn red. I could almost guess why she was staring at us at that moment, which caused me to blush yet again. Terra waved by to us, and Squall just nodded, and followed her. After we saw that they had went inside the building, we left, deciding to go to Edge again. Cloud went back into his cabin, while Dark and I went to the overlook place on the ship, where we saw entire forests and oceans pass us by as we were headed to the city. Dark and I were holding onto the bar that kept people from falling off of the ground and into the glass, and our hands were nearly touching. I looked at him, and he smiled, inching closer to me. I followed this, inching closer to him as well. After a few minutes, we were right on top of each other, with his arms on the outside of my arms, and then he moved his arms towards me. They soon encompassed me in a large hug, where I placed my left hand on his hands, where they laced themselves together on my stomach, and I moved my right hand to his face, pushing his face away from my head, myself laughing in the process.

"Hey! What was that for?" He said, laughter in the middle of this. I let out a giggle, and turned to face him.

"Because I fucking felt like it." I said, tapping him on the nose. He chuckled, and then moved his gauntlet-less fingers along my side, enticing a few laughs being squeezed out of me.

"Oh, I didn't know you are ticklish." He said with an evil grin on his face.

"Oh shit." I said, and was immediately bombarded with him tickling my sides. I couldn't stop laughing, which was causing my sides to hurt. I could barely even breathe, and yet, I kind of liked it. Knowing that I would pass out soon, I kicked Dark in his leg, and he finally let up.

"Okay, Three minute breathing break." He said, moving his arms from my sides.

"Alright, but you get no such pleasantries." I said, jumping on him and bombarding him with my own version of tickling. He started laughing almost immediately, and he was laughing hard. I could feel his legs flail around helpless under me, unable to move with the crazy vibrations I was sending him. After a while, he did manage to choke out a few words.

"Okay! I gotta pee!" He said through laughs. I stopped tickling him, and sat back down on the cold metal. He sat up, and said, "That...Was fun..."

"Yeah. I have an idea for more fun..." I said, a grin forming on my face, my eyes making me look mischievous.

"What's your idea?" He asked me.

"Why don't I show you..." I said to him, going over to him on all fours.

Dark's P.O.V.

Lightning was crawling over me, and went up to my face first, giving me a quick peck. She then moved her head down on me, hovering it over my pants, where she was messing with the buckle. As soon as she got that done, she attacked my zipper and button.

"Are you.." I started to ask her.

"Shut up." She said to me, pulling my fly open, exposing my boxers to the air. Seeing her hover over me like that nearly immediately made my minor god extend yet again, poking out through the flap in my boxers. "Perfect." She said. She then craned her neck down, and kissed the tip of it. Sensing a thousand tingles coming from that certain spot, I squeezed my fist, trying to control my strength.

"Alright, guys. No more hankey pankey in the ship." We heard Fran's voice rain from the intercom.

"Dammit." Lightning said.

"I heard that." Fran boomed.

"You know, sometimes I hate how good Viera can hear." I said, putting my minor god back into my pants.

"I heard that too." Fran said.

After dropping Cloud off in Edge, I wished Balthier and Fran a good rest of their lives.

"Aren't you staying with us and going back to Rabanastre?" Balthier asked us.

"No, Sorry. I have a feeling that we are going to be needed elsewhere." I said, waving to them. As we watched them fly away, Lightning and I held each other in an embrace. As soon as the ship left, I held Lightning in my arms, the same way a man would carry his new bride. Focusing on one area in particular, I teleported us to the house of Serah and Snow Villiers. I specifically teleported us to the outside of the house, as to not spark a panic. I stepped onto their porch, setting Lightning down, and let her ring the doorbell, taking charge of the situation.

"I'll be there in a second!" I heard Serah say from far away. I could hear a shuffling, and running to the door with bare feet. When the door opened, Serah said, "Yes, who is...?"

"Hey Serah." Lightning said to her, and I could tell that a smile was on her face.

"CLAIRE!" Serah yelled, wrapping her arms around her sister in a massive hug, which Lightning returned. Serah looked at me, and asked, "Who are you?"

"I can better explain who I am in a more private setting. Either way, we would also prefer if we spoke to Hope Esthiem as well. Might as well explain this to everyone once, instead of repeating it multiple times." I said. Serah nodded, then invited us in. As we walked in, I immediately noticed how much larger it looked then from the outside. She walked off in another direction, telling us to wait while she called Hope over the phone. Lightning and I sat down on a couch, nearby the door, and waited for Serah, Snow, and Hope to come to us. After a few minutes, Serah came back to us, and sat down in a chair near us.

"Snow is coming home soon, and Hope will be here around that time. So, how long have you been around?" She asked Lightning.

"A couple of weeks, now. I've been working a lot." Claire responded.

"What have you been doing then? I missed you..." Serah said, bringing her legs up in her chair.

"Well, I've been busy...Killing Caius..." Claire told her sister.

"WHAT!" Serah yelled out.

"Relax. I wasn't alone. This guy led us." Claire said, shaking my shoulder.

"Oh, well then, who is this guy?" Serah asked. Lightning looked at me, and I shook my head.

"He wants to tell you himself, but when everyone's here." Lightning said.

"Oh, okay..." Serah said. We sat in ungodly silence for three minutes, before I went and got a drink. After I came back to my seat, the front door opened, and a man with a beanie who I instantly recognized as Snow Villiers walked in, followed by a boy who was at about half height. I instantly recognized him as Hope, and now remembered that I had given the girl and this younger boy Immortality, but not this man. *Lightning must not like this guy.* I thought.

"So, who's the guy?" Snow asked, rather rudely. I motioned for both of them to have a seat, enabling them both to have full view of me.

"Please, it would be much easier to explain everything if the both of you were reclined." I said. Hope went to the floor and sat, while Snow walked to behind where Serah was sitting, and leaned his body against it, using his arms to keep himself from falling.

"Well? We're waiting." Snow said, again rudely. I took another, long sip from my glass, and intentionally made them wait while I ran the taste through my brain.

"Some know me as the man to pray to if their crops won't grow. Some know me as a man who cares for the environment. Some even think that I am the cause for their scourge. However, these are not who I truly am. I am merely an etipath of their knowledge." I said, standing up and walking over to a dying rose that was in the corner, neglected from the sun.

"Who...are you?" Serah asked me.

"I'm Darkanimir, the God of Agriculture." I said to them. I picked up the plant, placing my glass in its place, and raised it to my face. As soon as I was close to the withered bulb, I said, "Crescunt, rosula, crescunt! Obedire domini vestri meminerit." After I had finished speaking, color came back into the rose, its petals turning a solid red yet again, and the leaves grew from being withered. I turned from its corner, and placed it in a windowsill, where it moved towards the direction of the sun.

"Woah..." Said Hope, amazed at what I had done.

"No kidding..." Snow said, this time not being rude.

"That flower, it looks so..." Serah started off, "...pretty..."

"Thank you. Now, this is not the cause as to why Claire and I are visiting. You see, she recently asked me of a wish, which I have granted. As of now, One Hope Esthiem and One Serah Villiers are Immortal, to a sense." I explained.

"What? What about me?" Snow asked, back to being rude, and moved to stare at me dead in the eye. I scoffed, then laughed at his attempt to intimidate me.

"It seems that someone was looking out for who they truly care for, not for immature brats that they just so happen to be related to. So, I'm sorry, Mr. Villiers, but you don't get their Immortality. Besides, I've already said that their Immortality was to a sense. So, Would You Kindly shut the fuck up, and Would You Kindly sit down so that I can finish?" I asked him, putting a forced command into those last two requests. Snow immediately closed his mouth and sat down, enabling me to continue. "As I was saying, Serah and Hope's Immortality is differed. They will die eventually, however, they cannot be killed from unnatural or out of place events. To better explain this, if they get sick, then no matter what it is, they will get better. If they are bitten by a snake, then they won't die of poison. If they are stuck anywhere without food, water, or shelter, then they shall remain in the world of the living. The only way for them to die, is because of age. They will die at the maximum age that they live to. This is to ensure a peaceful death. Also, something that was not a part of the wish, but I'm adding it anyway, even if you two are sinful for the rest of your lives, then you will still be able to live in Heaven in the Afterlife." I explained.

"Oh my Gods..." Hope said.

"Yes?" I said to him, jokingly.

"So, why did Lightning come to say this too? And what happens to her when she's dead and we're not?" Serah asked me.

"Lightning will not die before you. This is certain." I said.

"How?" Hope asked.

"I have asked Lightning to take a place, as Queen of the Gods, alongside me. She shall blossom into a Goddess." I explained. I then turned to Snow, who had been waiting for me to look at him, an expression of fear on his face, and I said, "Would You Kindly speak again?" Snow gasped, able to move his vocal cords again.

"What the fuck did you do to me?" He asked me.

"I simply used a thought, disguised by a request, to seal your vocal cords and keep you contained to that chair. It was for your own good. Now, Would You Kindly stand and be mobile again?" I explained, enabling him to move on his own again. He went to his wrists, and started rubbing them, as if I held shackles on him.

Four hundred and Thirty Seven Years Later

I rested alongside my shimmering Wife of many years. She and I ruled the Gods for years, after we recreated some and turned some mortals into new ones. Claire changed her name back to what it was, and used her former name for her element which she controlled. She and I fused our chairs in the Kingdom of the Gods together, enabling us to sit close to each other. We had sired two children, a Boy, with his mother's length in hair, but my Grey eyes, who was named Chaos. The other child was a Girl, who had a mixture of my black hair and Claire's pink hair, and Claire's eyes, so we decided to name her Cosmos. They both wielded Gunblades, which were passed down from their respective parents. I called the two into the main throne room, which they did, and immediately fell to one knee, in respect.

"Father. What is it that you desire?" Chaos asked.

"Yes, what is the dilemma, Mother?" Cosmos asked.

"Ah, yes children. You see, your mother and I have gotten very old throughout our years. We can't keep the other Gods and Goddesses in line. We need you to help us out, in one request." I asked them.

"What is the request, Father?" Chaos asked, my Gunblade dangling from his belt.

"Take control of our thrones, immediately following our passing. I wish to be with my sister, and my friends." Claire said to them. Chaos and Cosmos gasped at us, not believing what we had said.

"Mother, Father, surely you must be kidding." Cosmos asked us.

"We are not kidding. And don't call us Shirley." I said, chuckling a bit at the last part.

"But... Father... I don't believe that I'm ready to rule." Chaos said, coming closer to the throne.

"Of course you're ready, my children. You need only listen to your hearts. That is why we gave you them." I said to them, rustling Chaos's hair and tapping his chest.

"Mother!" Cosmos exclaimed, running to the throne, jumping on it, and giving Claire a large hug, which she returned.

"It's alright, Cosmos. We will always be with you. Just look into your hearts." Claire said to the girl, who had blossomed into what the Mortals would classify as a young woman.

"You...You'll still listen to us. After you pass on, right?" Chaos asked, tears trying to form in his eyes.

"As you wish." I said to them. They both nodded, then left the throne room. I looked at Claire, who nodded, and crawled on the throne, positioning myself on top of her. She kissed me, which I returned, enticing a make out war between our mouths. While we were kissing, Claire and I both willed ourselves away, and we started to feel the crystal forming at our feet. As we kissed, we moved our lower clothes so that we would always be connected, even in death. As soon as I stuck it in her, that part of us was covered in crystal. I went back to Kissing Claire, who wrapped her arms around my neck, while I wrapped my arms around her waist, now being sealed in Crystal. After a few minutes, only our necks and our heads were uncovered by Crystal, when we separated for a moment.

"I told you that I would never let go." I said to Claire.

"Thank you, Dark." She responded.

"You're welcome, Light." I answered back, reminding her of her old nickname. She looked at me, and we entered a final lip lock, as our heads were completely covered in the Crystal. Our Souls quickly escaped our bodies, and we floated a small distance away, watching as the final touches of the large Rose came into view, with the thorns looking more vicious in the shade of black they were in. Claire and I floated past the ceiling, and into Heaven itself, where we saw Snow, Serah, Hope, Balthier, Fran, Cloud, Terra, and Squall once again.
