1 Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
Author's Note: A new ending starting from where Neil died. (He doesn't in this version because that pissed me off.) Very Jane + Neil oriented.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Final Fantasy characters, the creative assholes at Square do.
Tremble and Spin..
Jane's eyes widened in horror as the phantom tentacles writhed grotesquely in the center of Neil's chest.
"No!" She ran around and opened up on the tentacles until they were severed. Neil fell to his knees, clutching his torso. Jane dropped her rifle and rushed to his side. "Neil!" She wrapped her arms around his shoulders to keep him from collapsing. He began to shake violently. She held him tighter. "Neil?" He slowly lifted a trembling hand to his mouth and when he pulled it away there was blood on his fingers.
"Jane." His shaking voice couldn't hide his pain and fear.
"Hold on, Neil." She pulled him to his feet and wrapped his arm around her neck, and then they started for the lift. "Captain!" Grey came over the comm. clearly.
"Jane! How's Neil?"
"He's alive, but in bad shape. We need Dr. Sid."
"I'll send him down."
Jane steadied Neil as the lift started up. "Hang on, Neil. Please hang on." She whispered. When the lift jerked to a stop there was Dr. Sid. His experienced eye quickly assessed Neil's condition.
"Follow me." Jane silently followed the doctor back towards the Black Boa.
Jane carefully laid Neil's still form on the table. "He's been infected. I don't have the laser to cut it out, so I'll use part of the spirit wave to trap it in him."
"But won't that weaken the wave?" Dr. Sid shook his head.
"It will hardly effect it, now sit here." Jane stared at the chair he offered; confused. "We're losing him fast. You need to be his spiritual support." Jane sat beside Neil. "Keep him with us." She looked up at Dr. Sid and nodded, understanding what she had to do. Dr. Sid moved to put her under. Jane took Neil's hand in hers, and her last thought was how cold his hand was getting.
R & R please!
