Final Fantasy Dimensions
Chapter 6: Unity
by ArchFaith (formerly known as the ArchPrincess of Saturn)

Irvine opened his eyes. He was hovering in a world of endless violet. As far as the eye could see, nothing but shades of violet, swirling and shifting. He felt something on his back. Shapely angel wings had sprouted. Startled, he looked around. The rest of AVALeeD hovered next to him, still unconsious.

"Wake up, everyone!" he cried, floating over and shaking some of them.

"Huh? What...Irvine? Where are we?" Tifa asked, coming out of her trance.

"Is Jenovecia here?" Sephiroth questioned, his eyes flashing.

"Is everyone okay?" Selphie worried.

Soon AVALeeD had awakened. They were all very surprised to find they had wings. And surprised that they had been transported. "So it worked," Aeris said softly.

"Are we in the Lifestream?" Vincent asked.

"No...the Lifestream's color was green, the color of life, the color of our Planet," Aeris answered. "This color is purple, the color of the unconscious. This is Jenovecia's realm."

"THERE YOU ARE," the familiar voice mused. Jenovecia materialized before them, as ugly as hell. "THIS IS MY DIMENSION, THAT I CREATED ESPECIALLY FOR MYSELF. THOUGH I WOULD'VE LIKED TO TAKE OVER ONE OF YOURS."

"Let's end this right now," Rinoa said calmly. "Stop running, sorceress. You should have enough dignity to admit your defeat."

Jenovecia scowled. She had showed her weak side to her enemies. "YOU ARE RIGHT, SCUM," she admitted. "FINE, WE END IT HERE. BUT I WILL WIN OVER YOU! TO DEMONSTRATE THIS, I WILL NOT CAST A DOWNSIZE SPELL ON YOU."

The groups formed. The formation was the same as ever. The first row held Cloud, Tifa, Irvine, Squall, Rinoa, and Vincent; the second row contained Sephiroth, Aeris, Zell, Seifer, Selphie, and Red XIII; the third row had Barret, Cait Sith, Quistis, Yuffie, Laguna and Cid.

Selphie cast Aura on everyone. "Give it all you've got!" she encouraged.

Cloud determinedly glanced at Jenovecia. He clutched his Ultima Weapon tightly, closed his eyes, exhaled, and attacked. "Onmislash!" The attack hit eighteen times, causing 9999 damage for each hit.

Tifa, new hope formed in her heart, stepped up. "Final Heaven!" she cried, pummeling the sorceress with a nuclear thrust. 9999.

"Hyper Shot!" Irvine commanded. He hit Jenovecia four times, causing 9999 damage each bullet.

"Renzokuken Lionheart!" Squall said. The Lionheart hit 18 times, 9999 damage each.

"Angelo Wishing Star!" Rinoa summoned. The dog appeared and helped Rinoa knock Jenovecia 19 times.

"Chaos Stan Slam!" Vincent cried, transforming into the winged demon.

Jenovecia did not react. She stood without moving. AVALeeD was partially confused. "What's she doing?" Sephiroth wondered.

"Don't worry about it!" Cloud yelled. "Attack with all you've got."

Sephiroth nodded and stepped forward. "Super Nova!" he commanded, disappearing. Sephiroth's special summon hurtled through all the planets, finally pummeling Jenovecia.

"Great Gospel!" Aeris said, raising her staff. Angels descended, flittering among the party, recovering the party's HP and making them invincible.

"Duel My Final Heaven!" Zell cried, going into a rage. He raced around Jenovecia with the force of a nuclear blast, giving her a beating.

"Fire Cross No Mercy!" Seifer shouted, casting a Firaga spell, then hit her with a stream of energy.

"Slot The End!" Selphie screamed. Everything faded to a field of flowers, then back again.

"Cosmo Memory!" Red XIII howled, calling a huge ball of fire. It engulfed Jenovecia in an explosion of hot plasma.

Each attack did 9999 damage, yet Jenovecia still did nothing. She stood there, not budging.

"Go ahead and fight!" Aeris commanded.

Barret's face grew determined. "Catastrophe!" he cried. He rose into the air and scalded the enemy with a ray of magma.

"Slots Toy Soldier!" Cait Sith commanded. Six toy soldiers appeared and attacked the sorceress.

"Blue Magic Shockwave Pulsar!" Quistis said. A blue light emanted from behind her and knocked into Jenovecia.

"All Creation!" Yuffie yelled. A beam of light formed on the tips of her fingers and engulfed the enemy.

"Desperado Plus!" Laguna cried. Laguna leaped into a vine, swung on it, and continously shot the sorceress.

"Highwind!" Cid commanded. The Highwind emerged from the void and pummeled Jenovecia with missiles.

Millions of damage had been caused to the sorceress. She finally began to move. "AVALEED...YOU HAVE CAUSED ME MORE TROUBLE THAN I COULD HAVE EVER EXPECTED. I WILL END IT HERE AND NOW..."

She raised her arms. "Jenovecia ArchBeing!" she commanded. She began to change. She grew bigger and uglier. Her wings and tentacles multiplied. She was now enormous, and the most terrifying thing ever seen. She was Sorceress Jenovecia, the ArchBeing.

"ARCHBEING WINGSPEED!" she thundered, her final attack. "GOODBYE, AVALEED. MAY YOUR SOULS BE TORMENTED IN THE ETERNAL FIRE."

She raised her wings and gave a single flap. AVALeeD looked on, unable to do anything. The gust blew away all the rows. They were sent into darkness.

-

Everyone, one voice penetrated the darkness they had been thrown into. Stand tall. Jenovecia may be strong. But the power you hold in yourselves is stronger. Think of your teamates. Follow your heart. The ones you know and love will bring you through.

AVALeeD opened their eyes at the same time. "We must work together," they said in unison. "None of us can do it alone."

The ArchBeing watched, unafraid. "TRY ALL YOU CAN, AVALEED!" she yelled. "NOTHING WILL STAND IN MY WAY!"

Slowly, AVALeeD formed a circle. They held hands.

"Jenovecia," Squall whispered.

"We have-" Cloud continued.

"Tolerated your-" Rinoa added.

"Evil long-" Tifa said.

"Enough," Seifer ended.

"We hold-" Sephiroth whispered.

"Great power-" Quistis continued.

"Within ourselves," Aeris concluded.

"All this time-" Zell began.

"We were-" Vincent continued.

"Unaware of-" Selphie added.

"Our abilities," Yuffie ended.

"But we-" Laguna started.

"Have awakened," Barret said.

"And you," Irvine whispered.

"Are going-" Red XIII replied.

"To die," Cait Sith stated.

"Great Jenovecia," Cid concluded.

They all raised their hands and said together, "We..."

"NO! THIS CAN'T BE! I WON'T LET IT HAPPEN!"

"Summon..."

"I WAS PROPHESIZED TO RULE THE DIMENSIONS!"

"The true power of..."

"I WILL LIVE ON!"

"AVALeeD!" A great light decsended upon AVALeeD. Their angelic wings turned into blades of light, and spinning halos formed above their hands. All seemed to be in a trance. They faced Jenovecia.

"AVALeeD Wingspeed!" they commanded. Their lightwings detached themselves and hurtled toward the Archbeing. She screamed as they struck her.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

She began to fall apart. Her tentacles fell off. Her wings crumbled. She seemed to melt into the floor. There was a tremendous explosion. A white light nearly blinded AVALeeD. When the light faded, there, in Jenovecia's place, was...

A girl.

She had long, black hair, and lonely violet eyes. She wore a pink dress, made of light material, which fluttered along with her green butterfly-like wings. She looked no older than perhaps seven or eight.

"Welcome AVALeeD. I've been expecting you," she greeted, echoing her first words to them.

"Who...who are you?" Squall asked calmly.

"I am Hyneria. Jenovecia's true form."

AVALeeD's eyes grew wide. "Her true form? What do you mean?" Zell questioned.

Hyneria sighed. "When the two sorceresses, Jenova and Ultimecia, were defeated, the power from their deaths resulted in a rip of dimensions. Their souls met and fused. Two forms were created: the evil form, Jenovecia, and the good form, Hyneria. Jenovecia's form was stronger than my form, and so she locked me up inside of her. She then set out to conquer the dimensions. I tried to escape, but could not. She was too powerful. Then I saw you for the first time, AVALeeD. My hope was renewed. It was I who called out to you in the darkness. And you have fulfilled your role as the heroes of the dimensions."

AVLeeD floated there, astonished. It was Cloud who finally spoke up. "Hyneria...what will become of our worlds?"

"AVALANCHE's world and SeeD's world," Hyneria replied, using the group's old names. "They are fine. Both of them are fine. The Turks have issued their declaration of peace and are sending help to troubled areas. Ellone has called back her declaration of war and is awaiting your return. Many have died or been hurt, but right now there is peace."

"Will there always be this peace?" Yuffie asked.

"I do not know," Hyneria replied. She looked around. "You must go, AVALeeD. If you stay any longer, you might get trapped. I will form a portal leading back to Esthar."

She raised one arm and a swirling portal opened.

"What about you, Hyneria?" Cid asked.

"What will you do here?" Cait Sith added.

"Come with us!" Seifer suggested.

"You could do so much good in both our worlds," Tifa mused.

Hyneria shook her head. "I may turn into Jenovecia again. Besides, I don't think you need another sorceress running around."

AVALeeD sheepishly nodded.

"The evil is gone. In its place is AVALeeD. Remember, no matter if you get split up, if you die, if you go back to your different worlds, you will always be...the eternal AVALeeD."

Hyneria's last wish to the team as they flew through the portal. The group looked back at her as they went. She smiled softly before the portal closed.

TBC

I hope you liked what I did with Jenovecia. I didn't just want to kill her off, so I made her become Hyneria. You could think of Hyneria as an 'Emeraude from Magic Knight Rayearth' type sorceress, I guess.
