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?

"How are you feeling today, Ryan? Any better than yesterday?" Aki asked as she walked into the room. Ryan smiled weekly at her as he nodded.
"Don't worry about me, Doc. I'm a survivor." Ryan said with a smile. Aki nodded at him, before heading to the side of the room to open the window to let the cool air inside.
"It sure feels weird being back on Earth, doesn't it?" Ryan asked as Aki nodded.
"Yeah. With the Phantoms everywhere, the only truly safe place was Outer Space, safely aboard the 'Black Boa'. But with them gone, the Earth can be lived upon safely once again. It never ceases to amaze me. The Earth is just so beautiful. You miss it from space." Aki said.
"Lots of work to do though, if the population is to survive." Ryan began. Aki nodded.
"True. By my estimate last month, there were fewer than 61, 000 people still alive, that I knew of. I just hope it'll be enough to keep the population growing." Aki said as Ryan smirked at her.
"Seems like you and Gray are doing just fine with that." Ryan remarked as Aki whirled around in surprise.
"What? He.he told you?" Aki asked, a blush across her cheeks. Ryan smiled as he nodded.
"You could say that. In his defense though, I was the one who asked. I was curious as to how you found the eighth spirit." Ryan said as Aki slowly nodded.
"Yes. Well, as I told Gray, it found me." Aki said with a smile as she tenderly placed a hand over her stomach.
"Dr. Ross, I want you to know as the Captain's best friend you can rely on me for anything, ok? I never had any kids of my own what with the Phantoms and all, but I love the little tykes." Ryan said as Aki smiled.
"We'll keep that in mind when we need a sitter, Uncle Ryan." Aki teased as Ryan smiled at her.
"Uncle Ryan..I like the sound of that. I can't for the little rugrat to be born. When he gets older I'll teach him how to fish, and how to hunt, and how to fire a machine gun." Ryan began.
"My child is doomed." Gray muttered with a smile as he walked into the room. Aki leaned in towards him to whisper in his ear softly.
"We're not really gonna let him teach the baby how to use a gun are we? I don't want my child to learn that until he's at least eighteen. Then again, if it's a girl, not at all. I mean it Gray." Aki said as she looked into Gray's eyes.
"Alright, alright. I won't let Ryan teach our kid how to fire a gun." Gray promised as he kissed Aki's forehead. Ryan frowned playfully from his bed as he watched the two. Gray smirked as he looked first from his best friend, then back down at her.
"I'll do it." Gray added.
"Gray! That's not funny!" Aki cried as Gray and Ryan chuckled.
"Relax Aki, sweetheart. I was only kidding." Gray said with a warm smile. Slowly the frown disappeared from Aki's face. She sighed as she turned back around and looked out the window.
"Where do you think we'll raise him..or her?" Aki asked.
"You mean like what city we'll live in? Hard to say, Aki. The future has yet to be written." Gray said.
"True. At least no matter where we'll live, our child will be safe..and happy." Aki said with a smile as Gray walked up behind her and wrapped an arm around her waist, holding her infront of him as the two watched the world outside.
"Hmm. So that's the full report, is it then? Seems was have a lot of work before us. Hein was a fool. We'll finish in what he failed in." A tall man said as he stood in the shadows of the corner office, looking at the major in front of him.
"That will be all, Major Keilse. You may leave now." The man said, turning his back on the major. With a final nod at his superior officer, a bow and a salute, the major departed.
The man stepped away from the corner, and made his way over to the leather chair behind the desk next to him. He sat down, his identity still hidden by the darkness of the room. He turned the seat around until he was facing the window.
General Nirak was a cold hearted man, more so that even the late General Hein. He might have even been considered a handsome man had it he not been so cruel. He had piercing blue eyes and blonde hair that he kept in the military crew cut. He wore a dark green leather jacket with his collection of metals and awards neatly sown into the right lapel.
Where Hein held a strong sense of shoot first, ask questions later, Nirak didn't bother wasting time with questions. And with the destruction of the Zeus Cannon, it seemed that Hein had perished in space, and if that were true, it would be up to Nirak to finish the work his comrade once started.
"That woman.Dr. Ross.Hein believed she was a traitor, and wanted her kept in custody. Perhaps that wasn't the best course of action. If she is a traitor, she needs to be eliminated.permanently." General Nirak said to himself as his looked out his window.
