No reviews? I have an idea! First 3 reviewers receive the next chapter 24 hours before publishing.

Soala had more power than humans could comprehend. He was no longer a mere human. He sat on the roof of the largest skyscraper in Luca and began to raze the city to the ground. [A/N: In the year since FFX-2, Spira has been speeding up its technology faster than ever. Luca will be described as containing skyscrapers. Automobiles will probably not make an appearance.] Meteors rained from the sky. Bolts of lighting would strike whole crowds of people. The waves themselves were pushing working their utter destruction. Soala was in total control.

Meanwhile, YRPT [A/N: Good ending basis, Tidus has been added in] were rescuing the few they could.
"Get these people out of here Brother!" Yuna yelled as Brother took a batch of refugees to Bevelle. "We'll be fine until you get back!" All Yuna wondered was, who did this? Luca had enough fire defenses that this was no accident. She saw the last remaining large building, and saw someone on top of it, his or her arms raised in magic. "What's going on? Is that person creating the fire, or casting white magic to keep themselves alive?"
Tidus had overheard Yuna. "But to create fire against Luca's defenses would be so hard that an accident would be more likely."
"Then let's assume that person is keeping themselves and the building standing via white magic." Paine stated. It was obvious really. If only YRPT knew, things may have gone differently that night.
"Right! Let's do it!" Rikku was, as always, enthusiastic. [A/N: -mission time music plays-]

A few minutes later Yuna, Rikku, and Paine were nearing the roof of the building. Tidus was lagging behind, checking all rooms, and seeing if the person's magic had kept any others alive. When YRP reached the top, they saw Soala, still casting his spells.
"You came here. That was not a good idea."
"Who, may I ask, are you? We need to get you out of here." Yuna was trying to be polite and puzzled at the same time. It wasn't working.
"I am Soala, the Omega Mage. The one who worked toward Spira's benefit for years. Yet I have been rejected. So no longer do I work for Spira's benefit. I work for the downfall of a society that has forgotten me. I work against the injustice I have suffered. I work to inflict the pain of my life onto those who have forsaken me."
"What the hell?" Paine was not usually the first to speak but the way this man talked was simply strange.
"My power is absolute. Sin itself possessed no power such as me. Only Yu Yevon has ever wielded power equal to half of what I can do in seconds. The progress and evolution of Spira that led to my suffering will be undone. The millennia of prosperity will be undone in mere weeks. Perhaps days if I wish it to happen. The destruction of the world's largest city? Simply the beginning. The cornerstone of destruction to come!"
"Or not. This ends here!" Yuna cried. She raised her Brotherhood sword (Tidus had allowed her to retain it, he used Caldabolg mostly) and attempted to attack Soala with an Excalibur attack. She jumped into the air and tried to hit Soala. She froze in midair as Soala simply continued his destruction. He slowly turned around, nodded his head, and Yuna flew backwards into a half-wall.
Rikku and Paine, as a Berserker and Gunner respectively, met the same fate. Soala's magic was impenetrable. There was no hope of victory.
"Futile attacks." Soala showed little emotion as he continued his magic. "It is nearly complete. I am an Omega mage no longer." He put his arms at his sides. All was peaceful. And then, Soala extended his arms. "Now, I am THE Ultima Mage!" The following explosion was so powerful that none could stand up, see, or hear.
"What... was... that...supposed to do? We're still here." Yuna was out of breath from the immense blast.
"Fools. Look around you." As YRP looked, they could see that the many buildings of Luca, once on fire, were now leveled and mere ashes [A/N: Think nuke, ok?]
"One thing left." Soala snickered. He snapped his fingers once. Paine fell down and her body turned to pyreflies before she hit the ground. He snapped again. Rikku met the same fate.
"But"- Yuna gasped as Soala snapped once more. She fell and also faded.
"Girls? What's going on?" Tidus said as he came up the stairs.
"Ah, the dream. A final farewell to those who have opposed me. Good bye." Soala waved his hand and Tidus faded. "One final thing to do." A great blue beam shot from the sky, hit the skyscraper, and as the building collapsed in a magnificent fashion, Luca was done. Soala got out of the rubble, and walked away.

"Where are we?" Yuna woke up with Paine and Rikku looking at her.
"It's the farplane, Yunie."
"How'd we get here?" Yuna said, knowing and fearing the answer.
"How do you think? We're dead Yuna." Paine said bluntly.

Don't worry, it'll all work out ;)
