This is my very first Final Fantasy Fanfiction! I've always enjoyed playing the games, my favorite being FF8, only because unlike 7, it had a happy ending, and the CGI characters were amazing. I haven't played FF10 because as of yet I do not own a PS2. I'm working on it though, and that will be the first game I buy.
Anyhow, as I said, FF8 is my favorite out of the games so far. However, this is not a FF8 fanfic. Instead it is based on the movie that was created, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.
I loved the story, the characters, and yes, evil the villain. But I hated the ending. It was so unfair. And although I have a strict policy when I write not to change a story, it took everything I had not to do so in this story. I like to add on to what happens, even if I have to go off on what I like to call, the what-if tangent.
An example being the DBZ fics in which I keep the same story line in some cases, but just add on to the story. For example, The Return of Mirai Trunks. In the final saga, "Back To the Future" everyone in Mirai's time has been restored to life thanks to the Blackstar dragonballs. And in it, I have Gohan return to learn that he had a daughter he had never known about because he had died the day after he and Videl had slept together right before his battle with the Andriods. Who's to say he didn't have a girlfriend? If could have happened.
But this is not about DBZ, it's about Final Fantasy. The story takes place right after the battle with the Phantoms in the crater. The Gaia has been saved, but Dr. Sid and Aki are the only ones still alive. But all that's about to change when Gaia returns those that shouldn't have been taken so early, including Gray and the other Deep Eyes members.
I sincerely hope you enjoy it and as of yet I can't be sure if it will be a one-parter or multichapter story. Only time will tell. And one last thing, I do not own the characters of Final Fantasy, none what-so-ever from ANY of the games or the movie. I am thinking of cloning Neil and Gray though. Moving on..enjoy the story.
And one last thing, is it just me, or does Gray look like a CGI Ben Affleck?

Final Fantasy: A New Beginning The Eighth Spirit and the Reunion of Deep Eyes
"Dr. Sid. How is it possible? We saw them die." Aki said as Dr. Sid set the coordinates for New York.
"I haven't the faintest idea, Aki. But I assure you, we will find out somehow. Hmm..but I wonder.." Dr. Sid said, looking towards the cockpit door.
"What? What is it?" Aki asked.
"Gray's body. We have it with us." Dr. Sid began as Aki nodded.
"Yes I know. I brought it with me because I want him to have a hero's burial. It's the least he deserves." Aki said.
"True, if he's dead." Dr. Sid said as Aki stared at him confused.
"Why would he be..Dr. Sid.you don't think..?" Aki began, daring not to hope.
"Why not? The rest of Deep Eyes are, aren't they?" Dr. Sid said as he and Aki stared at the door to the cockpit in shock. Suddenly Aki floated up to the door and opened it. There, further down the hallway, just coming out of the medial room doorway, was Gray, alive and well.
"Gray!" Aki cried as she raced down the hallway and tackled Gray, causing them both to fall to the ground.
"Easy Aki. I'm here." Gray said with a smile as he held Aki close to him. She smiled through her tears as she buried her head in his chest.
"Oh Gray! You're alive! You're really alive! Promise me you'll never leave me again. Promise me." Aki cried looking into his eyes. Gray smiled as he nodded.
"I promise Aki." Gray said as he lightly brushed her lips.
"I'm, ah.sorry to interrupt..but..we've got to get going." Dr. Sid said.
"Yes. They're alive Gray. Neil, Ryan, Jane. They've contacted us." Aki said as Gray stared at her in shock.
"They're alive? But how? How am I alive? I saw it Aki. I saw Gaia. It was so beautiful. Everything was so beautiful. How is it that we're back?" Gray asked as Aki shrugged her shoulders.
"Does it matter? The important thing is you're here.now.with me." Aki said as she hugged him again.
"Aki, there's something I never got a chance to ask you. About the eighth spirit. How did you find it?" Gray asked as he helped Aki to her feet.
"Like I told you before, it found me. I had it inside me all along." Aki began as Dr. Sid smiled from behind the two.
"Inside you? But I thought you said the membrane that Dr. Sid created to hold the phantom inside you was the first spirit. How could it be that there would be two spirits inside you?" Gray asked as Aki shook her head.
"I wasn't born *with* the eighth spirit inside me Gray, it was created." Aki explained as Gray stared at her in confusion.
"Aki what are you-" Gray began as Aki smiled at him.
"The eighth spirit.I'm carrying it. I'm pregnant." Aki said as Gray stared at her in shock.
"You mean..I'm..?" Gray began unable to speak. Aki nodded.
"Yes. You are." Aki said.
"Aki..I..I..." Gray said as he struggled to speak. Dr. Sid smiled from behind the two.
"Apparently he's speechless." Dr. Sid with a warm smile. Aki smiled at Dr. Sid, and then turned to look at Gray.
"Wow." Gray finally managed to say.
"And he speaks." Aki said with a smile.
"Hey, I just returned from the dead to learn that I'm gonna be a father, Aki. Give me a break." Gray said with a smile.
"Come on. Your crew is waiting Captain." Aki said, turning to head back to the cockpit. Gray grabbed her arm gently and pulled her towards him.
"Aki..I love you." Gray said as Aki smiled at him.
"I know. I love you too." Aki said.
"Marry me." Gray said as Aki stared at him in shock.
"Wha-what?" Aki asked as Gray nodded.
"You heard me Aki. I want you to marry me." Gray said.
"Gray." Aki began as Gray frowned at her.
"Don't tell me you don't want to Aki, because I know you do. You love me, I love you. Just tell me you don't want to." Gray said.
"I do, Gray. Yes, of course, of course I'll marry you." Aki cried. With a laugh Gray lifted Aki into the air and spun her around once before setting her down.
"Tomorrow." Gray said as Aki stared at him in disbelief.
"What? Tomorrow? Isn't that a little sudden?" Aki asked.
"Why not? We should live each day like it's our last. You should know that by now." Gray said.
"But the Phantoms are gone." Aki said as Gray nodded his head.
"Yes, but you know what I mean. You never know when you're time will come...again." Gray said with a chuckle.
"Alright. Tomorrow then." Aki said. Gray took her hand in his and the two headed towards the cockpit.
"It's about time." Neil said as Dr. Sid, Aki and Gray walked out of the Black Boa. Gray smiled at his crew infront of them.
"Man, you made it out alive Captain? Way to go." Neil said as soon as his eyes landed on Gray.
"Actually, I didn't Corporal." Gray said.
"Right. Same as us then?" Jane asked as Gray nodded.
"Where's Ryan?" Aki asked.
"In the same place he was before. In the same position to." Neil said as he and Jane led the way to the car and to Ryan.
"Hey buddy, how are you holding up?" Gray asked as Ryan frowned at him.
"I died once already Captain. I have no plans to make it twice in one day." Ryan said.
"Relax, we'll get you out. We brought the equipment with us." Aki said as she and Dr. Sid started to work to free Ryan from the car piece piercing his stomach.
Finally, twenty minutes later, Ryan was finally free.
"Come on, we've got to get him to the med lab to stop the bleeding, or he really *won't* make it." Aki said as Gray and Neil helped Ryan into the Black Boa.
