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 Council
"Aki, good I was just looking for you. It's time we contacted the Council and informed them about what's happened thus far." Dr. Sid said as he walked into the room.
"Sergeant Wittaker, how are you feeling?" Dr. Sid asked, turning his attention to the man. Ryan managed a smile as he nodded at the doctor.
"As I told her, I'll live doc. Thanks to you two anyway." Ryan said. Dr. Sid nodded as he started to check Ryan over to see how much longer he'd be staying in the med room.
"Hmm. It would appear that your internal bleeding has stopped. If you'd like, I can bandage the rest of your injuries and we can have you up on your feet within the next twenty minutes. Unless of course, you're not feeling up to it." Dr. Sid began in concern as Ryan shook his head.
"Not a chance doc. If I'm good to go, I wanna go. Appreciate all you've done for me already, but you know us military types." Ryan said as Dr. Sid nodded.
"Sometimes all to well. Very well then. I'll get started on that right away. Aki, would you mind sending a message to the Council for me? We'll be landing in Pennsylvania in the next hour. We'll want to give them the full heads up." Dr. Sid said as Aki nodded before heading out of the room.
"Now, for you my friend." Dr. Sid said as he walked around the room gathering the bandages and the rest of the supplies he would need to securely wrap Ryan's injuries.
"An hour huh? Not a whole lot of time." Gray said as he looked out the window. Aki looked at him confused.
"Not a whole lot of time for what, Gray?" Aki asked. Gray turned back around to look at her and smiled.
"It's nothing, Aki, love. I just meant we're gonna have to explain to the Council what happened in the Phantom crater, then explain why all of New York as well as the Deep Eyes crew are alive and kicking again. I'm not complaining of course, but it's a lot to explain." Gray said as Aki nodded.
"Yes, I know. But it seems like explaining our situation to the Council is something I've been doing a lot of lately, ever since I was first infected by the Phantom. I still can hardly believe that it's finally over, you know? That I'm finally cured. And that I have you to thank for that too, Gray." Aki said with a smile in her eye as she looked at Gray. He smiled back at her.
"I just can't believe in less than eleven hours we'll be married." Gray said.
"Unless you want to wait a little while?" Aki asked as Gray smiled at her and shook his head.
"Not a chance, Aki." Gray said as Aki smiled lovingly at him.
"Well, what do you think we'll call her?" Aki asked as she placed a hand over her abdomen. Gray playfully frowned at her.
"You mean him." Gray teased as Aki shook her head at him.
"What am I going to do with you?" Aki asked.
"Well, you can't kill me, I keep coming back." Gray teased and Aki couldn't help but laugh.
"I don't think I've ever heard you laugh. I like it. It's really pretty." Gray said as Aki blushed.
"So..Dr. Sid knows and Ryan knows.when are we going to tell Neil and Jane?" Aki asked.
"Tell us what?" Neil asked as he walked into the room.
"Tell us what?" Neil asked again as Aki and Gray looked at each other for a moment then looked back at their friends.
"Well, there's no point in beating around the bush, so I'll just come out and say it-" Aki began.
"Aki's pregnant." Gray finished with a smile as Aki turned to look at him.
"Or Gray will come out and say it for me." Aki said with a smile. Jane and Neil stared at Gray in shock, before turning to look at Aki, who nodded to confirm it.
"No kidding? Captain, you lucky dog, you!" Neil said. Jane rolled her eyes, as Aki blushed and Gray glared at the Corporal. Neil coughed nervously.
"What I meant was..congratulations Captain, Dr. Ross..I'm, ah, happy for you both." Neil said. Jane smirked at Neil's uneasiness before looking at Aki, and nodding her head once as she smiled.
"You know, Janie, I was thinking." Neil began.
"Alert the presses." Jane teased as Neil frowned.
"No, I'm serious. I was just wondering how many you wanted. Two, three, four maybe?" Neil asked with a smirk. Jane frowned in confusion as she looked at Neil.
"Neil.what the hell are you talking about?" Jane asked.
"Kids. How many do you want to have?" Neil asked.
Jane stared at Neil, unable to blink as Gray and Aki burst out into laughter. Jane turned to glare at Aki and Gray respectively, before turning to look back at Neil.
"Not even in your dreams, Fleming." Jane said.
"Ah come on. Why must you put up this charade, Janie? Just tell me when you want to change your name to Fleming, cupcake." Neil teased.
Jane was speechless as she stared at Neil, her mouth agape. Gray smiled down at Aki, as he took her hand.
"We'll leave you two alone for a while." Gray said as he headed out of the room.
"Captain, you're leaving me alone..with him?!" Jane asked as Neil pretended to look hurt.
"Not even married yet and you want some time away from me. That hurts, Janie. At least promise me we'll still be there for the kids." Neil teased.
"Fleming!" Jane cried in frustration, but Aki and Gray caught the humor behind the tone in her voice. Gray nodded at Neil and after saluting their superior officer, Gray left the room, and he and Aki headed down the corridor to contact the Council.
