The End
Chapter Two:

Yuna stared at the image of Tidus that had appeared beside her. Everything minor detail was exactly as she remembered him.

From his short blonde hair to his bronzed skin. His yellow and white jacket covered the top half of his body and his black dungarees, that had one leg longer then the other, covered his lower body. The brotherhood sword, which Wakka gave to him on his first night in Besaid was firmly being held in his hand.

Silence fell over the platform as Shuyin and the newcomer's eyes locked, each grasping their sword tighter.

"Who are you?" Shuyin demanded to know, taking an attack position.

"Who do you think I am?" Tidus responded, positioning himself in front of Yuna.

The others watched in shocked silence as Shuyin calmly approached the newcomer.

"I felt a.... presence when I first entered the fareplane." Shuyin said. "It is you, it has to be."

"Why are you doing this Shuyin? Will destroying Spira really change anything?" Tidus asked, lowering his sword slightly in a sign of peace.

"I do what must be done. Spira's despair and pain need to be cured."

"Is destroying Spira really the way to do that?"

"What do you know, or understand of my pain. You are nothing but a dream, a figment of a child's imagination."

"Compared to what you have let yourself become, being a dream isn't so bad." Tidus responded. "Do you think you are the only person to have lost someone you care about, or that you are the only person to put your own life on the line for someone you love."

"Don't pretend you understand, you know nothing!" Shuyin shouted, raising his sword he attacked Tidus, who blocked the attack with his own sword.

As Shuyin and Tidus fought in the centre of the platform, Yuna recovered from her shock and found her voice returning to her.

"Please Shuyin, you have to listen to me!" She shouted.

"Yuna, its no good. His mind is closed. He doesn't want to listen to you." Tidus called back as he caught a vicious downwards slash on the blade of the brotherhood sword.

Tidus counterattacked with an upward slash, forcing Shuyin towards the edge of the platform. "Rikku, keep Yuna safe." He called over his shoulder as he pressed his attack.

Shuyin jumped onto another platform, turning around he watched as Tidus followed him. As he landed, Shuyin rushed forwards to attack, hoping to catch his opponent of balance.

"Is that him?" Paine asked as she rushed to Yuna's side. Yuna only nodded in response.

Yuna heard the sounds of movement from behind her and turned her eyes away from the fight in time to see Gippal, jump onto the platform that held the remains of Vegnagun. He rushed over to the unconscious form of Baralai.

"Who is that?" Leblance asked no one in particular, as she joined Yuna and her companions.

"That is who Yuna, has been searching for." Rikku responded.

"He certainly looked a lot like Shuyin." Nooj said as he took became transfixed with their fight a short distance away.

Yuna watched as their fight took them onto another platform. The sounds of their swords clashing together filled the darkness as the two fought on.

Shuyin's sword clashed against the brotherhood sword of Tidus. Their swords danced back and fourth as each battled for the advantage. As Tidus moved back slightly, moving his sword into a defensive position. Shuyin launched into a frenzied series of attacks. Each one aimed at his mid section.

Tidus was able to block them all, however, the final attack threw him off balance. Seeing the opening, Shuyin kicked Tidus in the stomach. Sending him over the edge of the platform where they fought and crashing down onto the one a few feet below it.

Yuna gasped with fear as she watch Tidus land hard on his back, his sword skidding across the smooth surface of the platform. Coming to a halt just sort of the edge.

Tidus rolled to the side as Shuyin landed in the space that his chest had previously occupied. He dived towards his sword, as Shuyin's own slashed outwards at him.

Shuyin rushed towards where his opponent now crouched and swung his sword in a vicious downward slash, however, Tidus was able to lift his own blade up in time to prevent the attack.

Moving back a few paces, Shuyin watched his opponent get back to his feet and ready his weapon once again.

"We are evenly matched Shuyin, you can not win like this." Tidus said, as he took the chance to catch his breath.

"You are right.." Shuyin responded, just before he jumped onto the platform above them.

As Tidus jumped after him, Shuyin began to retrace the path they both travelled during their fight. Jumping from one platform to another, he made his way back to the central platform, where Yuna and the others were watching.
