Final Pokémon Fantasy IX
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN Squaresoft, Game Freak, or Nintendo. However, I do own Rob, Taz, Keeli, and um... that's about it for now. Ask nicely before you use my characters, OR ELSE. But if you DO ask nicely, I'll trust that you WILL give me original credit. Right? RIGHT??!! HELLOO!!!!!! Um, okay. Enough coffee. Let's get on with this.
Oh yeah, and I might add that I screwed up the ending to FF9 a bit, so you won't have to deal with spoilers, too many of them anyway, LUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!
Prologue
Zidane looked at the Alexandria Castle, mixed feelings swarming all over him like killer bees. So much had happened after he and his friends brought down Necron and Kuja. His memories swallowed him up like a gigantic fish, allowing him to see the past. Upon returning to the village, Vivi fell weak and ill. Remembering with sadness and for some reason joy on that occasion, Zidane remembered as Vivi said his last words to him.
"Zidane... I will... Always keep... you in my memory..." he had said. "Tell the others... I'll see them someday..."
"Vivi, why'd you have to leave now?" Dagger whined, tears in her eyes.
"I have... no control... over fate... But there is a chance... for black mages... to join humans..." he had taken a shiny black jewel from his chest and handed it over to Zidane. "Here... Take this to Hades... Make me my first... daughter..." Zidane looked in utter confusion at the black jewel. Vivi continued. "She will have a soul... like me... she will be the last synthesized black mage... she can make black mages... be born..." Vivi chuckles weakly as he said his final words. "Name her... after me..." at that Vivi stopped. He had passed away.
After shedding enough tears to flood a desert, our heroes held a funeral for Vivi. Each hero had paid his respects to Vivi; even Amarant had given flowers, though he cursed himself for not being able to do anything. After the funeral, Eiko looked at the jewel Zidane was holding. "What's that?" she asked. Zidane grinned as he remembered that no matter how dire the scene is, Eiko always had a super thick curiosity.
"Vivi gave me this... he said to 'Take this to Hades and make me my first daughter.' I can only imagine if he was right..." Zidane trailed off.
"Couldn't help to ask Hades, couldn't it?" Eiko piped.
"Yes, it could..." Amarant said through clenched teeth. "I don't think your memory's good. We had to kick his butt first, and you don't even remember how hard THAT was. And that could have been the ramblings of a dying boy. However," Amarant stood straight, looming over the other two. "About now, I'd do practically anything for the sake of the memory of Vivi."
Zidane examined the crystal. "Maybe... We'll just have to see. Vivi could have known a lot more than we thought," Zidane's mind swam deeper into the past in which Vivi had stayed behind and asked Hades a question. That definitely explained why he referred to him.
Things looked strangely uphill from there. The three of them and Quina traveled to the Iifa Tree where Hades now rested. After another long fight, Hades finally settled down, took one look at the crystal and showed just a touch of marvel. "So this is what Vivi was talking about..." he said, holding the black gem. "Heh, he wanted black mages to be born like humans. Who would want to be born like pathetic mortals anyway? It'd only extend their lives for 99 years. Pathetic if you ask me. But if it is/was his wish, so be it. Come back in two weeks. Good riddance," he said with a barely noticeable grin by way of leave-taking. Zidane and company grinned at each other as they were kicked out of his lair.
Zidane was snapped back forth into the present when he heard Quina. "Zidane!" the Qu cried. "Come! She awake!"

Hmph. Zidane... you have gained all the power Garland said you would... but you chose to save the planet rather than destroy it... And you destroyed me...
Garland was right when he said I would die soon after I went into Trance. However, it would be from you... not from wearing out.
Now, thanks to Necron sacrificing the last of his energy, I, Kuja, can claim revenge... Settle the score with you... Zidane... Heh, to prove my point I won't even kill anyone else except your friends... I will avenge and claim revenge...
Just you wait...
****
It quite sucks not knowing the first six years of your life, but does this truly matter to me? Not so, because I know I will find it someday. The full name's Robert Seirdane Benton, and don't even ask about the middle name (I actually like it). You can call me Rob for short.
My best friends Ash and Phillip (nicknamed Taz) have always jokingly suspected that I'm not even of this planet, because when they found me I was dressed weird and was holding a dagger-with expertise I might add-something six-year olds don't normally do. Heh, I can only wander if they were right...
After 8 years, my friend Taz and I grew to be Pokémon masters, thanks to Boot-Camp-like training from Ash. However, I pursued sword handling on my own time to better train myself, wanting to be just as fit as my own pokémon.
Now, the three of us are taking a vacation to chill out after defeating Team Rocket for a third time. Heh, we weren't even aware of the big adventure we were about to face...
