Love Has No Boundaries
(From Chapter 9)
"I know, Tidus. Even if you didn't say it to me… I know… And I'll always love you…" Yuna cried.
Celine suddenly clapped her hands and walked towards them.
"How touching Tidus… But there's nothing you can do… We're still getting married…" Celine laughed…
Chapter 10: Fight For Love
They all looked at Celine… They all wondered why or how Celine would convince Tidus to marry her. Celine just raised her left eyebrow and curled her red lips.
"Whatcha gonna do about it?! Tidus's back and he love Yunie!" Rikku asked.
"Oh… Really? There are a lot of ways to convince a person…" Celine laughed.
She raised her right hand again and the black ring turned red… Suddenly an old woman was on fire. The old woman ran in different directions as the other people went away her. She screamed in pain and fell down to the ground. Eventually, she became ashes. Celine laughed at this horrible event as if she was enjoying it.
"What a nice view… Even the helpless couldn't get away with me… Now… Tidus, if you won't marry me… I'll be forced to kill them all, including your friends, without hesitation…" Celine threatened.
"You… You BIG MEANIE!" Rikku shouted.
"Oh… You're wrong girl… I'm not mean… I'M EVIL… Even the devil fears me… Now, Tidus… It's your decision… Your hand? Or their useless lives?" Celine laughed.
Tidus was blackmailed… He walked back at Celine and held her right hand to his. They went back to the Maester and pushed through with the wedding.
"I'm sorry, Yuna… But I have to do this… If not, everyone's gonna die…" Tidus frowned.
"There's still a way… Moogle…" Yuna whispered…
She ordered Moogle to prepare another shot that would hit Celine. However, Celine, as If she could see at the back if her neck, banished the Aeon away like what Seymour did in battle. The Aeon went down and turned translucent and dissolved into thin air. The Aeon dropped an arrow, which Yuna took and hid it inside her huge ribbon at the back of her dress.
"If you love a person, you should set him free to where his happiness is…" Yuna shouted softly at Celine.
Celine looked back again…
"Who said I love him? I gave up on Love years ago…" Celine asked coolly.
"… Then why do you want him to be wed with you?" Yuna asked.
"You really want to know the truth, do you? Okay… Nothing will be lost anyway… I know Tidus is a dream and is now living in the Farplane, but somehow… For some reason, I wonder why he was able to make it out of there and be alive again… I want to discover this, and maybe I could use him to unite the Farplane with Spira, and let Farplane dominate Spira." Celine explained.
"This is… This is ABSURD! Spira cannot be united with the Farplane… Chaos will happen…" The Maester said.
"… That's what I want to happen…" Celine laughed
"How did you know Tidus was just a dream…?" Lulu asked.
"Oh that one… Very simple… I can converse with the pyrflies and they give me very useful information about what's happening all over Spira and that's how I discovered Tidus, the dream who was resurrected… I saw him in the shores of Bevelle and got him… Fortunately, he couldn't remember anything, which gave me the opportunity to manipulate his mind." Celine explained.
Celine suddenly became translucent, and pyreflies surrounded her… They knew she was unsent…
"You're… You're an…!" Yuna exclaimed.
"Yes, Yuna… I'm already dead…" Celine said.
"Send her lady Yuna… We cannot let her alter Spira's status…" Lulu ordered.
Yuna nodded and she danced again… She waved her rod swiftly over the air as she turns like a ballerina. She twisted her rod professionally and went toward Celine. However, it did not affect her.
"You are just wasting your time Yuna… You cannot just send me like that…" Celine laughed.
"Impossible, ya! Even Seymour can't resist the sending…" Wakka exclaimed.
"Seymour, that wimp… How dare you compare me to him!? I am sent already, but I managed to escape… No matter what they do, there is still a strong bond between Spira and I. I spent years in the Farpane training intensely, mastering every skill that is there to be learned… Then one day, I just had the opportunity to escape that sorrowful place… I didn't come back to Spira, unprepared… So I suggest you stop this nonsense…" Celine smiled.
They could not do anything, but to watch as Tidus was getting married with Celine. They just could not beat her for people's lives were at stake… They were there in a corner discussing what they should do…
"What're we gonna do now, ya? She's worse than Seymour…" Wakka asked.
"We gotta think of a plan…" Rikku whispered.
"Any ideas?" Yuna asked.
"Ummm… No…" Rikku answered softly.
"Kimahri thinks it's that black ring… If Kimahri take it from her, her powers might weaken…" Kimahri explained
"How are we suppose to get that from her, ya?" Wakka asked.
"Maybe… I could snatch it from her. I'm a good thief!" Rikku giggled.
"I think we should create a distraction first… I'll do it." Lulu suggested.
"It's too dangerous Lulu…" Yuna said.
"But we have no choice… It's now or never…" Lulu convinced Yuna.
"… Be… Careful… Lulu…" Yuna whispered.
"Do not worry Lady Yuna… I will…" Lulu said.
Lulu split up with them, while Rikku and the others prepared for the main plan. Lulu walked towards Celine… She dropped her Moogle doll down the floor and cast Flare on Celine.
"Let's end this…"
She raised her hand as the doll followed her moves accurately. A burst of energy whirled around Celine and she fell down. She stood up again as if she was not hurt a bit. She was furious and was about to cast something at Lulu.
"A brave one, are you…? You leave me no choice, but to end your life… Such a waste of time…" Celine said.
"I am ready for what will happen, witch!" Lulu shouted.
Celine's black eyes flared. In rage, both her hands were on fire. She formed a sphere when a ball hit her at the back. She was distracted and stopped.
"Ooya! Take that ya!" Wakka screamed.
"Pests!" Celine shouted.
Her attention was now with either Wakka or Lulu. She was about the blast both of them with her magic when Rikku dashed towards Celine, grabbed her hand, and swiftly snatched her ring from her ring finger. Meanwhile, Yuna dragged Tidus away from Celine.
"Tidus… Here… I kept this for a long time… It's time to give it back…" Yuna handed Tidus a blue shiny sword, The Brotherhood.
"Yuna… Thanks." Tidus hugged her.
They surrounded Celine on the circular platform of the Highbridge.
"It's all over, Celine… You don't have your ring to protect you…" Yuna said.
"Your atrocity ends here." Lulu said coolly.
She looked around them and gave another laugh.
"Fools! Do you think that without that ring I will be defenseless?" She boasted.
She closed her eyes and as she opened it, it turned white. Suddenly, a huge twister surrounded the platform with Celine at the center making everyone fly away. Everyone was panicking and was running in different directions, but they were all caught by the strong wind. They were all flying far far away from the ground, which would lead them to their end. Yuna and her friends, including the Maester, were the only ones left on the Higbridge. They were holding on to something to stay on the ground. As her pony tailed black hair was rising because of the strong wind, she walked towards Yuna and pulled her hair and slapped her.
"Look who's gonna die now… Six against me, but I still win… I told you, you couldn't defeat me." She smiled.
"… You… Still won't have Tidus… You might have been married, but his heart… Belongs to someone else… Love has no boundaries, Celine… Whoever you are… Man or woman… Single or married… If you love a person, you love him and nothing will ever change it… Love doesn't pick its victim… We are the ones who goes to it…" Yuna said.
"What do you know about love…? Yuna? I loved once, and he said he loves me… But what happened…? He left me behind… That was the day that I gave up on love and gave up on living, which leaded me to my end… It's meaningless to love if it would only trick you in the end." Celine said as she pulled Yuna's hair harder and tighter.
For the first time, Yuna saw Celine's eyes full of sorrow instead of anger and a tear went out… Her lips curled as she tried to resist herself from crying…
"Stop staring at me… This is nothing…" Celine said wiping her eye.
"Celine…"
"Don't take pity on me… Yuna… Because it won't change anything… Blabber all you want about love, but it won't do you any good!" Celine shouted.
She let go of Yuna's hair, and went back to the center.
"Since you do not want any wedding… I'll give you that… But my objective won't change…" Celine shouted.
She pointed her hand on Tidus, which made him float towards her. Tidus was like tied into ropes… He could not move. Celine raised her hands again. The sky turned pale and the clouds started to turn as if a storm was coming. The clouds turned brown and a huge circle was formed. Thousands of Pyreflies came out from it…
"This is… This is…" The Maester was speechless upon seeing this.
"Impossible? Behold! The gate to the Farplane! I have now taken it from the Guados… I have finally summoned it to me… My plans are almost coming to a success… And you Tidus will finish it… You are the one who will unite the Farplane and Spira… Your little sacrifice will mean so much to me… But do not worry… Your love will follow soon." Celine shouted.
He grabbed and threw Tidus above the ground. Tidus, unable to move, was floating at the middle of the gate and the Highbridge. Celine suddenly chanted something in a different language.
"You will be the key… Tidus…"
Tidus glowed blue and a huge white beam came from the Farplane hitting the ground of Spira passing through Tidus. All was dark… It was starting… Farplane and Spira would be united soon…
"TIDUS!!!" Everyone shouted.
They all wanted to go to the center and stop Celine, but the strong winds that surrounded the area prevented them to go on…
"I won't let you go again, Tidus…" Yuna said.
She took out the golden heart shaped arrow she got from the Aeon. She used her rod to support herself from flying away. She walked quickly, but cautiously. Celine was busy with the chant that she did not noticed Yuna coming nearer to her. She got to the center successfully and grabbed Celine by the neck. Celine struggled to escape from Yuna, but Yuna got the pointed arrow and stabbed her on the heart. Celine screamed as she felt the pain and fell to the ground… She could not move and it was peaceful again… The sky turned blue again and the strong wind stopped. They went to Celine that was now lying on the ground.
"How… How could this happen…? I was almost near… How could I feel pain if I'm already… Dead…?" Celine said softly.
"I didn't use any ordinary arrow… I used the Aeon's arrow, which is a weapon of love… Love that you do not have anymore…" Yuna explained.
She took it out from her heart and held it tightly as she stood up slowly…
"If you think it's all over Yuna… You're making… A mistake… Until my very last breath… I will… Make sure that you will lose something precious…" Celine said.
She held the arrow like a dart and threw it at random… It was her last move and she fell again…
"Say goodbye to one of your friends Yuna…" Celine laughed for the last time and she vanished into pyreflies.
The ring that Rikku snatched vanished with her too… Now, the arrow was going towards Lulu…
"Lu… Watch out, ya!" Wakka shouted
Lulu was just staring at it… She could not move as her heart started to pound fast. Wakka dashed to her and covered her from the arrow. It hit Wakka at the back of his body. Hugging Lulu tightly, they both fell to the ground with Wakka on top. Lulu took out the arrow, which made Wakka screamed in pain. She pushed Wakka slowly away from her and held him to her lap.
"Lu… Before I go… I want to say… I…" Wakka whispered.
"I love you, Wakka." Lulu cried.
"I… love… you too… Lu…" Wakka said softly.
"Now that I told you about how I really feel… Don't leave me now, Wakka… I don't want to lose you like Chappu…" Lulu said.
Wakka just closed his eyes and was now motionless… They all circled around Lulu and Wakka. They saw Lulu cried loud hugging Wakka tightly. The only word that was coming from her mouth was "Wakka"…
Three days have passed since the events happened. They were back in Besaid… Yuna and Tidus' marriage would start that very day. Lulu was now the one who was staring at the shores of Besaid as the cool breeze touched her face… Her mind was still covered with thoughts about Wakka.
"First Chappu… Then you Wakka… Why is it all the people I love… Goes away from me… Leaving me behind…?" Lulu asked to herself.
Suddenly someone tapped her shoulders. She turned back and looked who was it. Her eyes blinked and she wiped it…
"You're wrong Lu… I didn't leave you…" A voice said.
"Is that really you… Wakka?" Lulu
"Who else, ya? Is there someone else?" Wakka asked.
Out of the blue, She punched Wakka's chest a lot of times. Wakka just hugged her with his right hand, while the left was bondage with white cloth, as Lulu punches him.
"Don't you ever leave me again!" Lulu cried.
"Don't worry, ya! Don't cry 'nemore… Am here… Smile for once, will ya? It's been quite some time since I last saw you smile…" Wakka said.
"I thought so… When did I last smile?" Lulu recalled.
Without waiting for anymore reply, Lulu smiled and hugged Wakka tightly.
"Yeouch! Careful now, Lu… My wound's not yet healed ya…" Wakka said caressing his arm.
"Oh… I'm sorry… I completely forgot…" Lulu blushed.
"Know what, Lu? You look more beautiful when you smile…" Wakka said.
"You think so… It's just not me when I smile…" Lulu said.
"Then I'm gonna be the person who'll make you smile, ya!" Wakka exclaimed.
Lulu just gave another big smile as he heard Wakka's reply…
"Ya see? I'm makin' you smile already, ya!" Wakka laughed.
"Oh you… You really are Wakka… Let's go back to the village… Yuna's marriage will start soon." Lulu smiled.
They reached the wedding just in time for Yuna and Tidus to kiss. They both kissed passionately as the crowd watched them.
"Tidus… I hope this would never end…" Yuna whispered.
"As long as I'm here… This won't end." Tidus whispered back.
The wedding ended and Yuna threw the bouquet of flowers high above the air.
"Hey everyone! Catch!" Yuna shouted.
Everyone was pushing to get the flowers. Rikku was squeezing in among the crowd.
"Hey! 'cuse me! That bouquet's mine!" Rikku screamed.
Lulu was just standing there enjoying the view when the bouquet fell down on her hands.
"I caught it… I caught it!" Lulu laughed.
Her story of love ends here… Always remember… Fight for love before it is too late… You might regret that you did not take action when you had the opportunity.
"When a lovebird dies, the one left behind… Just gives up living so it can join its mate…" – Tidus
