CHAPTER 11
REVELATIONS
-~-
Cid was going down the spiral staircase, four at a time, to the cellar. Once downstairs, he took a look around: nobody was here. Then he briefly watched Tri Point's corpse. "Rest in peace, you $%*@#ยง!", he thought.
He headed to the desk. The "Blue Magic Spells" book was still on it, and still open at the Shockwave Pulsar page. Cid quickly leafed through the book, and came to a page explaining about the White Wind. He skimmed through the page and reached this sentence at the end of the page: "Caution: White Wind cannot save a petrified person."
"Exactly what I was thinking... Dammit!", Cid said.
But the spearman didn't lose hope. He took a deep breath and browsed through all the spells described in the book, one by one.
"Dragon Force... Death Force... Beta... Tryne... Magic Breath... Yeah I remember now, just after poor Aeris died... It was in Gaia cliffs, where this filthy Stilva was nesting!" he thought as he turned pages. "I remember how it was looking at me as he realized I could attack with its own weapon! It was terrific..."
He kept on leafing through the book, then eventually found a spell that caught his eye. The page was titled "Live Stone". Cid read it with attention:
"This spell came from Hyne's descendants. It takes effect upon any living being, human or not, caster included, and allows to save the target from a petrifying attack, and also prevents it to be petrified by any attack. Be careful though: only a Dispel may override this protection."
"I'll pay attention then...", Cid thought before going on reading.
"To learn this spell, the caster will have to bring the remains of a creature able to petrify its opponents, such as Cockatrices."
"The Stone Golem! This filthy thing didn't dissolve completely... I'm gonna get those damn remains now!", he suddenly said, before running upstairs to the hangar.
~~
Cloud was staring at the bottom of the hole. "The heart of the Planet.", he was thinking. "Sephiroth... he was down there... until this time compression started... how come we succeeded in making all that way to our starting point alive?"
"Seriously, Cloud...", Squall declared in his icy voice. "I wonder what we're doing here!"
"I already told you, it isn't my fault if we're back in my world.", Cloud said.
"This is not the only reason.", Squall went on. "Not only we're stuck in this hole without knowing how to get back to our time, but also your four other mates seem totally useless to us."
"And then what? You really think it's a good idea to put four more lives at risk?", Cloud countered.
Though his mind was storming, Squall didn't answer.
"In my opinion...", Cloud continued as he went closer to Yuffie, Vincent, Cait Sith and Red XIII, "we should better leave them here. It's already a stroke of luck to have them still alive, isn't it?"
"I agree with Cloud.", Rinoa added. "They would only slow us down, in such a state."
"All right... if you say so, Cloud...", Squall sighed. "But first of all I'd like to get out of here!"
At this time, the SeeD felt uneasy...
"Ouch! My head!", he shouted.
Squall's mind scrambled. No... how could this be...! Not Ellone again... not the exploits of Laguna again!... However, what he expected didn't happen. He didn't fall asleep, and Laguna and his two long-time friends Kiros and Ward didn't come to his mind. It was different... A very familiar voice was echoing in his head.
"Go around the hole clockwise, Squall...", it said.
"Eden...", Squall thought.
Rinoa rushed to Squall. At this very time, his headache stopped, but he was still a bit dizzy.
"What happened?", she questioned.
"Was... Eden...". Squall could hardly speak. "We must... go around this... clockwise."
"Let's do it then.", Tifa said.
After Squall recovered from his confusion, the four people did so, but as they were about to make half a clockwise turn, they disappeared!
~~
Cid went back down the cellar as fast as he could, holding the Stone Golem remains in his left hand, then he resumed his reading.
"After this, the caster will have to call for Guardian Forces in order to transform the item and extract the magic allowing him or her to cast the spell."
"Transforming the item?", Cid thought. He turned to the alchemy desk. "I guess I have to attempt this little experience again..."
He removed the bottle, still containing fragments of Moon Stones, from the stove. After taking another unused bottle, he helped himself with a hammer and a burin he took in the hangar to break the granite block into pieces, so that it could enter into the bottle. Satisfied with this, Cid set the bottle on the stove and a clean bowl on the other side of the network of pipes.
"Here goes nothing...", he said, as he cracked a match to light the stove.
Black smokes went through the pipes and jars. Cid took back his spear and watched the undergoing experiment. A black and jelly-like matter was taking form in the bowl Cid had put. As the smokes ceased, he was about to touch the jelly matter with his left hand but he stopped dead. What if this experiment only worked for Quistis? Cid was nothing of an expert in Blue Magic as she was, though he was used to casting Enemy Skills stored in one of his materias. Finally, if this could save them both, Zell and Quistis, why not giving it a try?
Cid, touched the jelly matter in a resolute way. It disintegrated.
He stood there astonished. "Hey... I've done this for nothing?", he told himself.
He was wrong. A flash of blue and green magic light appeared at his feet and spiralled around his body. Once it reached the spearman's head, the light went dazzling for a short while and vanished. Cid look around him and noticed one of his materias attached to his spear was strongly glowing.
"The spell... My materia must have stored the spell!", he said.
He took the spiral staircase again, ran fast through the chandelier room and the courtyard. Once in the hangar, he stopped near Quistis and Zell, still petrified, took another deep breath, twirled his spear and shouted: "Live Stone !"
Once the spell was cast, the two stone bodies turned back to normal. Quistis, still dizzy because of the spell effects, asked Cid:
"What's going on here? Where's the Stone Golem?"
"I have finished it... with a Soft.", he said with a triumphant voice.
"You could have used it to save our lives...", Quistis continued.
"Yeah I know... but what about the riddle? Do you get it now?", Cid asked. "Your saviour will be my failure."
Zell had understood.
"Yeah! This is why you terminated this monster with your gizmo.", he said. "But how did you rescue us after?"
"With the magic book in the cave...", Cid proudly answered.
"Followed these instructions again, hunh?", Zell went on before laughing with Cid and Quistis.
~~
"Cloud? Cloud, you hear me?"
"I'm here, Squall..."
"Where, here?"
"I dunno! I can't see anything here."
"I can't either, you know... I can't even see my own body."
"Rinoa? Rinoa, is that you?"
"Yes, I'm here too..."
"Tifa?"
"Cloud? Where are you?"
"No idea, but all of us are here."
"Squall? Are you sure Eden told us to go here?"
"Whatever..."
"Whatever what?"
Neither Cloud, nor Squall, nor Tifa nor Rinoa could distinguish anything at all.
"I guess your big bird has spotted a space-time rift."
"If you say so, Tifa..."
"I wish there was some light here..."
It seemed someone heard Rinoa's wish. In a short while, many torches appeared, showing our friends the place they had reached. It wasn't Ultimecia's castle anymore, at least that couldn't be it. The stone walls were remarkably different, and the gloomy atmosphere characterizing the Sorceress' lair couldn't be felt in this new place...
They were in a library. Dozens of wooden bookshelves were set along the walls and divided the room in rows. A countless number of books was arranged. Many ladders were set along the bookshelves, that reached the ceiling of the fifteen feet high room. Moreover, the room itself was around fifty yards long and twenty five yards large.
Behind them was a window, surrounded with torches, overlooking the outside world. Squall and Cloud peeped through, and saw a great number of houses upon a rocky plain, around a kind-of weird building: it was a double tetrahedron, one vertex pointing to the ground, the other to the red sky.
"Centra!", Squall said. "We're in Centra, well before the Lunar Cry that destroyed it."
Cloud didn't understand.
"We're back in our place.", Rinoa said. "Hmmm... Not really in fact... we have landed at least a century before our time, because this place was supposed to be in ruins in the... 'present time'. What we call Lunar Cry is the time where the monsters living in the Moon gather in a big mass and go straight down to Earth."
"Monsters coming from the Moon?", Tifa said. "How could this be?"
"I ignore it...", Squall answered doubtfully. "It looks like this place is the 'source of knowledge' our Guardian Force has talked about. But Eden had told us it was impossible to help us, right?"
"Maybe Ultimecia's seal prevented our Guardian Forces to do so.", Rinoa explained. "Do you remember?"
"Yes... you're right.", Squall said.
"In my opinion, Midgar Zolom's fall allowed Eden to contact you anew, Squall. But I'd also say that Barrett, Cid and your comrades have done great, too. I hope they've got out of here alive.", Tifa went on with optimism.
"Yes, I hope it so.", Cloud continued. "We need all possible forces to defeat Ultimecia, once we have this information hidden in the library, if we find it, that is."
"Okay then...", Squall announced. "Let's split up. We're going to browse through this library row after row. Anybody who finds something interesting... no, Angelo... no, please, not now..."
Angelo was running around Squall, looking for a caress. Rinoa burst into laughter.
"Please, Squall, be nice!", she said in a smile.
"All right...". He gave a rapid caress to Angelo who shook his tail and yelped with affection. The dog returned to his mistress, satisfied. Squall went on:
"So I was saying, when one of you finds something interesting, call to make us know what it is."
"Okay.", Tifa confirmed.
"Got it.", Cloud said.
Tifa went along the bookshelf set on the wall, Cloud browsed though the next one, next to the two Squall and Rinoa, still followed by Angelo, had started to inspect. It was hard to do, the bookcases were considerably high. That made so many books to look for a single row... A quarter of an hour later, they all met at the opposite side of the room. .
"So?", Squall asked.
"Nothing of a single interest.", Tifa said. "They're mainly astronomy books, but there's nothing here about magic of about the history of this planet."
"We're wasting time here...", Cloud sighed.
"NO!", Squall categorically retorted. "If there's a single book to be useful to us, we must find it."
"Even if we have to look every nook and cranny?", Cloud replied.
Squall struck his forehead with his palm.
"Yeah yeah, whatever... as you say.", Cloud resumed. "After all, we must keep on searching, because our worlds are at stake, right?"
So they did. Nobody had noticed something odd that was turning up outside the library, at the window behind them...
Squall was relentlessly browsing through the books... when Eden's voice echoed in his mind again.
"Squall... It's Eden. Please don't say a word... "
The young SeeD remained silent, but asked himself where his Guardian Force could be.
"I'm here Squall, outside this library. You should see me now."
Squall could distinguish Eden's blue beak at the window.
"The passage I led you through made you travel two thousand years before your time, Squall, and Ultimecia's seal has been in greater part corrupted thanks to you and your fellows' efforts. Even if I cannot retrieve all of my powers right now, I may help you finding answers to your questions, and some answers are actually hidden here in this library. Come back to the beginning of the rows, face the door and go six rows further."
Squall obeyed. He went to the row the Guardian Force told him, and restarted to browse through the books. In a while, he saw a small book, with no title, lying on the ground. "Could it be this one?", he thought. He opened the book and saw, printed on the first page:
CHRONICLES OF HYNE
Hyne... wasn't it the one who had "created" this world, according to the legends? Was it the one who originated this art known as Sorcery? Rinoa had been named "Hyne's descendant" by the Estharians after he saved her in outer space and before her short captivity inside the Sorceress' Memorial... just because of her recently acquired Sorceress powers from Edea...
"Hyne would have written this book?", Squall kept on thinking. "How strange... many people think of Hyne as a God... but if he was one, how could he sign this book? Whatever..."
He leant to a bookcase and started to read...
"I, Hyne, Prime Sorcerer and World Protector, committed myself to store in the present book the history of this planet, trying to get as close as possible to the truth, allowing the next generations to know exactly all of the events which have marked our land. I am quite proud however, I must say, to know that my memory had 'survived' so many years after this Grand Cataclysm which could have annihilated us all if we hadn't taken some emergency measures on time. I think I must take profit of this opportunity to relate my memories right now, before my overripe age comes to blur all of these souvenirs and all of the knowledge I had acquired from the Ancients, or Cetras. So I will start my chronology by their time, and of course I will base my arguments upon my research works I undertook upon them.
Nobody knows exactly which civilization could have preceded the Cetras, I don't even know myself. On the other hand, their power remained known by all of the earth inhabitants for a very long time: these human beings had the ability to communicate with the Planet and create spiritual energy, used to create life. This energy of the planet, called a long time later 'Mako energy', could easily be seen at a raw state, like a halo of light, or crystallized into what people called 'Materia'..."
Squall froze when he came to the word 'Materia'. His astonishment made him drop the book, and his mind was boiling again... How could Hyne know about these "Materia"? Would this mean that a world existed before Hyne?
He got over his emotions and called:
"Cloud! Tifa! Rinoa! Come on, quickly!"
The three turned up in the alley.
"Tell me, Squall... We weren't supposed to be here, were we?", Cloud asked, doubtfully.
"No, you're right... but Eden helped me.", Squall confessed.
"I see...", Cloud said.
They read the book...
"Who's Hyne?", Cloud asked.
"The one who created our world, according to what people say.", Squall answered.
They went on reading. When they reached the word "materia", Cloud and Tifa had quite like an electroshock...
"So... he's from our world too?", Tifa noticed.
The four people stared wide-eyed at each other.
"Are we really from the same world then?", Rinoa asked.
"There's only one way to check it out...", Squall declared, before reading the book aloud so that the other three could know.
"... crystallized into what people called 'Materia', as for 'materialization of the energy'. These 'Materias' could be used for general purposes, and also allowed the usage of magic to those who could turn them to good account.
This planet also hosted a race of quadruped animals, half-canine, half-feline, well-known for their legendary rage during their fights, their remarkable intelligence and their longevity, surpassing by very far the human beings'. Nobody knew the real name of their species, but they took an important role in solving the planetary disasters."
"RED XIII!", Cloud shouted.
Squall looked back at him, surprised.
"This orange-furred animal from your team?", he said. "That's bizarre... I wanted to point that out: we also have orange-furred feline creatures. We call them Moombas. They speak like we do, though they can hardly do it..."
"Hmmm... Red XIII talks too. Do you think he could be linked to your creatures?", Tifa asked.
"I'm searching...", Squall asked. He leafed through the book and came to a sketch of a creature looking like Red XIII without tattoos, and next to it, a sketch of a Moomba. Further down was a picture of Eden.
"So this is a Moomba?", Cloud said. "Indeed... it makes me think about Red XIII..."
"How cute it is...", Tifa added.
"I'm starting to understand it all...", Cloud said.
"What?", Rinoa asked.
"Red XIII must have created an offspring after having survived the Meteor. This offspring might have evolved later into Moombas... Does that mean that Meteor is destroyed?"
"How could this be possible...", Tifa said, clinging to Cloud.
"It is... looks like in some way, we succeeded in our crusade against Sephiroth, but your sorceress Ultimecia interfered... this is evident, the Meteor is still here and Sephiroth still alive. I'd really appreciate if I could face her and tell her you-know-what-I-mean..."
Squall said nothing, but was determined, though he didn't know why, to help Cloud and sort Sephiroth out to prevent History from being modified.
"But considering the fat that Sephiroth controls this meteor, if we leave him alive, the Planet from the past... yours... will be destroyed and our Planet will disappear!", Squall exclaimed. "But Ultimecia... she's a sorceress from the future!"
"True...", Rinoa nodded. "She just can't leave Sephiroth destroy the Planet in the past, or your present, knowing that such a destruction would be a suicide for her!"
"I think", Cloud advised, "that we should ask her about it, don't you?"
"It's quite unexpected but sensible anyway...", Squall replied.
"By the way...", the young blonde man started.
There was dead silence for a while.
"I wanted to say this before but I couldn't... Well, the voice of your Guardian Force Eden reminded me of a girl we met some time ago, but got killed by Sephiroth before I could do anything to save her. In addition, she was the last Cetra to live on this planet... Now we are almost sure that Tifa, myself and the people of my world are your... ascendants, I'd like to know if Aeris (that was her name) was reincarnated in your time."
Cloud hadn't finished his sentence when Eden's voice sounded in the library.
"You are correct, Cloud... In the beginning, I couldn't believe Barrett, Cid, Tifa and yourself had survived time compression. I didn't expect to see my former comrades fighting by the side of my new possessors. Eden was only my alter ego. Now that Ultimecia's seal is corrupted thanks to all of you, I may revert to my former self."
A flash lighted the room. Eden's silhouette appeared as a huge phantom above their heads, then started shrinking, shortening, until the silhouette turned human. At this time, Cloud and Tifa, dumbfounded, saw a girl standing in front of them, with long dark hair, a long pink dress, a red vest and brown boots. She also had a yellow bracelet on each wrist, and her green eyes were watching Cloud and Tifa. She was smiling...
"No... is that you?", Tifa almost whispered.
Cloud couldn't hold his tears back anymore. He ran to Aeris, screaming her name, followed by Tifa, and the three hugged themselves so tightly that they nearly suffocated.
"How... how could you...?", Cloud stammered. "Se... Sephiroth..."
"Yes, I know it, Cloud.", Aeris said in a soft and reassuring voice. "But Sephiroth didn't know that his action would let me join the Lifestream to control it. This is why I stayed at this sub-aquatic altar where you found me, I needed a response from the Planet... Sephiroth just came a bit too late."
"I should have done something before he could...", Cloud went on, as his eyes were still flooded with tears. "I could never forgive myself!..."
"No, Cloud. This isn't your fault. You couldn't predict I was about to leave this world. Know this: even if my body remained idle, my spirit is still here. I had learned that the Planet was about to help us."
"But... how did you know...", Tifa asked.
Aeris laughed.
"I was watching you at this time. I was with you, when you came to know that my White Materia was activated, when you got down the Northern Cave, until you battled against Sephiroth... I was waiting impatiently for you to come, because there was no room for him and myself in the core of the Planet. Unless Sephiroth is killed, the Planet won't be able to react against the Meteor."
"I understand...", Cloud said, as he dried his tears.
Squall and Rinoa were watching the scene with attention, when Aeris came to them.
"Thank you, Squall and Rinoa. I guess I couldn't have met my ancient friends again without you."
"Erm... Thanks for the information too, Eden... sorry... Aeris.", Squall answered, hesitating.
"It doesn't matter.", the girl continued.
"I'd like to ask you a question... How come this world you knew had become the world as Rinoa and I know it?", Squall asked.
"Now this is a long story... Hyne must have stored it in his Chronicles, surely... but it would take some time to read... About a thousand years after Sephiroth's menace, a new Meteor appeared. The peoples were in extreme panic but a group of researchers managed to find old Cetra writings prophesising the coming of this threat and a way to protect the Planet from it. These researchers finally deciphered the writings. Hyne was their leader."
"And then?", Rinoa asked.
"All the materias of the entire world had to be gathered. It was hard to do but Hyne succeeded. With this materia stock, all the living beings headed to Mideel, near this crater where Lifestream was spurting out. However, in order to make the Planet react, someone had to fall into the crater. Nobody wanted to do so, so Hyne sacrificed himself. I watched him falling down to the heart of the Planet, learning the knowledge and powers of the Cetra every second."
"So Hyne wanted to do what Sephiroth plans to do...", Tifa said. "Becoming one with the Planet."
"Yes, but I knew him and Sephiroth had very different intentions. He was a generous and honest man, he really wanted to save the world, and not destroying it. So I accepted to collaborate with him. Together, we gathered all of the spiritual energy of all the human and living beings and of all the materias in Mideel. I also remember seeing Red XIII's descendants coming at the last minute to give us help. Even Red XIII himself was here! He was almost a thousand years old but his mind was still strong... Then this new Meteor came closer to the Planet's surface. Hyne and I created a protective screen to block the Meteor, but this didn't suffice. So we tried to absorb some of the energy inside the Moon, and we did it. As a result of this, our satellite went closer to the Planet's surface. Moreover, a group of monsters that were lurking in the site got hurled by the energy field to the Moon's surface."
"This is the reason why the Moon is inhabited by monsters...", Squall added.
"Yes," Aeris went on, "but from this moment, and for millennia after, the Planet's surface had no life. All the gathered energy struck the Meteor and made it disintegrate as it touched the land. Nevertheless, the shock was so violent that all the lands started to shake, creating consequently a new world, this world you, Squall, Rinoa and all of your SeeD team live in. Moreover, the energy concentration was such that at the end of the Cataclysm, millennia later, the brave four-pawed fighters descending from Red XIII started to have strange mutations... Some of them even had taken an humanoid aspect."
"So the Moombas and Shumis existed from this moment on.", Rinoa deduced.
"As for Hyne and myself, we reappeared with all the other human beings in a continent we named 'Centra'. He took his human appearance, and I was reincarnated as a spirit that Hyne named Eden. The other spirits that were contained in Materias were freed by Hyne, thus turning into the Guardian Forces you know. Then at last, the other Materias scattered their energy throughout the new world..."
"Magic draw points...", Squall thought.
Aeris paused for a while, and went on:
"Well... I think you know it all now."
"If it's true," Squall said, "we must now return where and when we were in the Castle."
"I know it, Squall. But I have a 'nice present' to give you first, the dog may have some of it too. Give me your hands..."
Cloud hurried to hold out his hand to Aeris. Tifa and Rinoa did so right after. Squall hesitated, but as he saw Angelo was about to put his paw, he decided to hold out his hand too. Aeris put her hands above them all and concentrated. A green aura wrapped the team for a few seconds before vanishing. The four fighters could feel a new force flowing into their bodies, an energy they didn't have before.
"Wow!", Cloud exclaimed.
"I'm feeling weird...", Squall remarked.
"I've never felt as good in my entire life...", Rinoa commented.
"What was your present, Aeris?", Tifa asked.
"I gifted you with a part of my powers that I acquired when I was wandering in the Lifestream." Aeris answered in a smile. "I'm sure this will help you, but since Ultimecia's seal isn't completely broken, you will have to defeat her last servant before being able to use your hidden powers."
"Just one minion to go?", Cloud questioned.
"Yes. Your friends really showed their best, and I know you'll make your way to Ultimecia and finally allow time to flow properly. Cloud, don't worry to give them my best wishes."
"I promise.", Cloud accepted.
"The corridor at the back of the library has a space-time breach that will bring you back to Ultimecia's tower, on the top of one of the towers. Get ready for a fight. Good luck to all of you.", Aeris told them.
As the others were leaving, Cloud remained still.
"What's wrong, Cloud?", Aeris asked, worried.
"It seems to me that... I'm about to lose you again.", the swordsman confessed.
"Come on, Cloud... Please, don't be worried about this. I will always be with you, never forget that. Never lose hope. You know, I prefer seeing you happy with Tifa than knowing you as a sad and lonely man."
Tifa stood there, gaping. She came closer to Cloud. Aeris hugged them both and finished:
"Goodbye now, and good luck..."
The girl's body turned transparent, then evaporated.
Tifa could hardly speak. Her eyes were full of tears...
"So...", she stammered, "she was... doing this... because she wanted us... to be happy together..."
"This is what I always believed, Tifa...", Cloud replied.
"How foolish I was...", she continued. "I was almost jealous of her... just because I saw you both together in the Slums!... But... as I realized you wanted to save me from Corneo... I didn't know what to think afterwards..."
"Tifa...", Cloud whispered before hugging her.
"Forget about this.", he went on. "We have more important things to do. Let's follow Squall and get out of here. If we make it alive, I'll take all the time you need to comfort you."
So the two left the room, with Squall, Rinoa and Angel, then brutally vanished in the corridor. Thy had just reached the space-time breach.
Author's note : we will never forget you, Aeris. You will always find a place in our heart...
Well... I have to confess that I found myself crying as I pictured Cloud, Tifa and Aeris meeting each other, and to add some more, I had Aeris' theme being played as I was about to type the reunion sequence... ::dries his tears::
Another piece of (sad?) news: next instalment will be the last. Last, but not least! The final showdown will soon arrive, so stay tuned for more! Oh, by the way, the saviour VS failure thing is taken from a Resident Evil quote, by Chris, taunting Wesker as he watches the Tyrant: "You think this failure is your saviour?".
Greetz time!
Veemongal a.k.a. Nips: Yeah, the big shoes were important for me to put in the FF7 character descriptions. Have you seen Barrett's? 'Jumbo' would be more suitable than 'big', don't you think? As for the word repetitions... keep in mind that I'm not English, and it's hard for me to write the whole thing in French first and translate it in English after without making too many mistakes. I must confess that since I focused too much on mistakes, I didn't take the repetitions into account. I hope this doesn't disturb you too much though... after all you seem to enjoy it, right? That's the most important...
Nefas-san: nice review! I checked other fanfics before writing mine. Some of them mention spell names and even weapon names. Even FF8 contains FMV's of Edea and SeeD students casting spells... so I thought it would be a good idea to put the attack moves and spells used in the battle descriptions. Of course I didn't make the unforgivable mistake to talk in HP's or MP's!
Lady Aliena, Rosa Heartlily, Steven, Chaos Syko a.k.a. Mauka IceFire: thank you very much for following and supporting, I really need this!
Ghouly Goul, Angelmae-CD: cool! New readers! Thanks for reading... Goul, you surprise me! Frankly, I never thought people could call my story as one of the BEST crossovers. Angelmae-CD, I'll email you when the last instalment is ready, I promise! ;-)
Have my best friendly feelings from me,
