Author's Note: Sorry it took me long to write this chapter. I've been busy
with my X-Men story and Legend of Zelda story. Here's the last chapter to
this story.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Rinoa sat beside Squall's hospital bed looking at his lifeless face.
After he was stabbed and after she discovered she was wearing the fifth crystal, she immediately told everyone else what had happened and they all helped Squall onto the Ragnarok. It had been a very stressful flight. Squall had not woke up, his face was pale, and he looked dead.
Rinoa took Squall's hand and sighed.
"Please wake up, Squall," she whispered. "I don't wanna lose you again."
"He still hasn't woke up?"
Rinoa looked behind her and saw Squall's father, Laguna.
"No," she sighed.
"He will," Laguna said and sat next to Rinoa. "His love for you will bring him back."
"Thank you," she said.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Seifer stood up after waiting a couple hours in the waiting room with Zell, Irvine, and Selphie.
"I'm going to get something to eat," he said.
"Okay," Zell said.
Seifer walked to the cafeteria and saw Quistis sitting at a table poking at her salad with her fork.
"Hey, Quistis,"
She looked up and gave him a fake smile.
"Hey," she said.
"Can I sit with you?" he asked.
"Sure," she answered.
He looked at her as she continued to poke at her salad.
"You're worried about Squall aren't you?" he asked.
"Yes," she said.
"Me too," he sighed.
"You are?" she asked.
"Yeah, sure," he answered.
"You've changed a lot, Seifer," she commented.
"Is that a good thing?" he asked leaning in towards her.
"Yes," she whispered.
"Quistis...I---"
"I know," she cut him off. "I'm in love with you too."
He smiled and kissed her.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Odine's lab,
"I gave Squall ze medicine and it has knocked out each and every Jenova cell," Odine reported.
"That's a relief," Ellone said.
"And," Odine continued. "Zere's enough for Vincent and Cloud."
Ellone looked at Vincent.
"You..can cure me?" he asked.
"Yes," Odine answered.
"And me?" Cloud asked.
Odine nodded.
"Do it!" Cloud and Vincent said in unison.
Odine handed Cloud and Vincent a small bottle of blue liquid.
"Drink up," Odine said.
Cloud drank his first.
After he swallowed it, he felt a strange sensation in his body, but then it went away. He did not feel much different, but he was.
"Your turn, Vincent," Odine said. "But be warned, yours may be painful since you have a demon inside you."
Vincent nodded and drank his.
Odine was not joking when he said there would pain.
Vincent winced in pain and fell to his knees.
Ellone put her hands on his shoulders.
"Vincent?" she asked.
He put his hands on his head and tried his best not to scream from agony.
"Odine, is he alright?" Ellone asked with panic.
"Yes," Odine answered as if he knew this would happen.
Ellone's eyes widened when she saw his left hand turn normal. A smile came across her face.
Finally all the pain was gone.
Vincent looked up and opened his eyes.
Ellone gasped and then smiled.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Your eyes..." she said.
"What about them?" he asked.
She reached into her purse and pulled out a small mirror.
Vincent looked at himself in the mirror and saw his eyes were no longer red. They were now a beautiful emerald green.
He put the mirror down and looked at Ellone.
"I love you," he said. "And I want to stay here with you."
Tears of joy filled her eyes and he kissed her passionately.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Rinoa jumped when she suddenly felt Squall squeeze her hand.
"Squall?" she said.
Squall's eyes fluttered open and he looked at Rinoa.
"Rinoa....what happened?" he asked.
"You're alright now," she said. "It's over."
"And the others?"
"They're all fine," she said. "Odine removed the Jenova cells and you're back to your normal self."
"I'm so sorry, Rinoa," he said. "I could not control what I was doing."
"Don't worry about it," she whispered.
He put his hand on her cheek and tears fell down her cheeks.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
One week later,
"I really need to get back home," Cloud said.
"We'll miss you," Rinoa said.
"Yeah, I'll miss this place too," he said.
Everyone followed Cloud to the area where the portal was which was on the edge of Balamb north of Balamb Garden.
Odine knew how to open it and came too.
"Now if you ever want to return, use zis." He said and gave Cloud a small crystal-key.
"I'll keep that in mind," Cloud said. He then looked at Vincent and Ellone. "Sorry I can't stick around for the wedding, but Tifa is probably worried by now."
"Good luck in your future," Vincent said.
"You too," Cloud replied.
Everyone said good-bye and thanked Cloud for everything he did. Then he left.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Midgar,
Cloud walked through the streets of Midgar looking for Tifa's house.
When he found her house, he knocked on the door. But it was not Tifa who answered.
"Who are you?" Cloud asked the man who opened the door.
"I'm Kile," he answered. "Who are you?"
"Is Tifa home?" Cloud asked.
"Yes, I'll go get her,"
After a few seconds Tifa came to the door.
"Cloud?!" she gasped.
"Tifa, who was that man?" Cloud asked.
Tifa closed the door and stepped outside.
"Where have you been?" she asked. "You've been gone almost two years."
"Two years?" Cloud asked. "I was in Balamb for a couple weeks."
"Balamb?" she asked.
"It's a long story," he said.
"I want to hear it," she insisted.
He nodded and told her everything.
"I can't believe it," Tifa said. "I thought Hojo was dead....and then a man became Sephiroth..."
"Apparently a couple weeks there is a couple years here," he said.
"Cloud....that man," she began. "Is my husband."
"What?!" Cloud gasped.
"I thought you were never going to return," she said. "And I ended up falling in love with him. I'm sorry, but I didn't want to wait."
"I understand," he said.
"I've got to go," she said. "Will you stay here or go back to Balamb?"
"I'll probably go back to Balamb," he said. "You know since Vincent's there and I made some new friends."
"I see," she replied. "Good-bye, Cloud." With that, she walked back into her house and closed the door.
Cloud looked at the crystal-key in his hand and decided to use it. Now he was glad Odine gave it to him.
When Cloud was back in Balamb, he saw someone he thought he would never see ever again.
"Aeris?!"
Author's Note: The end! Or is it? Nope, there's gonna be a sequel that is if you all want one. So how is Aeris alive or is it Aeris? If you do want a sequel, it may be a little while because I'm working on two and a half stories now. When I say half I mean I'm co-writing an X-men/Harry Potter story. Plus I may start another X-Men fic soon so I'll be pretty busy. I'll most likely write the sequel after I'm finished with my Zelda story. But it will take a while because it's only at the beginning of the story. But there's always the possibility I'll get bored out of those stories and take a break for the sequel. Whew!
