Note: This Chapter is based off of 'Arwen's Fate' and 'The Story Foreseen from Lorien' from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. I know, this is a wonderfully HUGE rip from it, but those scenes were very put together, and they can be arranged easily to fit the Final Fantasy's cast's feelings on all of this.
Chapter 9: Council of Fantasy
Aries, Cid, Leon, Cloud, and Yuffie sat in their cell in the dungeons of Hollow Bastion,
"I-I don't get it. Everyone was together, and everything was perfect. But then he came. It ended so swiftly." Aries sighed, and looked at her friends and Cloud, "The power of the Enemy is growing. Hollow Bastion has been unleashed. His eye is on Sora, the one person who stands in his way. He senses that the Keyblade is close.
"The strength of the Key Bearer is weakening. In his heart, he begins to understand…" Aries stopped darkly. Yuffie looked at her,
"Listen. There is still hope, you got to believe me." Aries sighed again,
"The quest will claim his life." Aries said slowly, but Yuffie shook her head,
"Please, everything will turn out ok." she said assumingly,
"Yuffie, if all you believe goes on planned, and Sora returns with his task completed, you still will never see him again, as he will go to his world forever." Yuffie took a small breath,
"Then-then I choose to be there with him, a normal life. There's still hope left." everyone took a deep breath, and Aries started up again,
"I have seen into the future. You know this, Cloud, Our time is over." Cloud nodded,
"I have seen this also, and I have the same worries. We have only one place to go, the White Sanctuary. We and our people will be safe there."
"That's acceptable," Leon said, "but- how can we get there from here? The harbor is all the way to the Rising Falls." Cloud nudged Cid,
"Cid. You still have that explosive gummi that you put in your mouth so we could escape if it got to dangerous, right?" Cid nodded,
"I can get us out of here. But it will be tricky," he turned the wall, and spit out his gummi block, and the wall gradually melted away, "Quickly lets go."

Yuffie walked with all of the prisoners to the harbor, and looked at it,
"I do not wish to leave this place." she said out loud, and turned, Cloud grabbed her,
"There is only death here," he said half dramatically,
"I choose death then." and with that, she ran back to Hollow Bastion,
"Cloud, it's time." Cid said as they walked into a secret entrance through the Rising Falls.

Yes, I know, I stole a little of the LoTr, and yeah, Yuffie has a crush on Sora.
