-1"Hmm.." Kael said, looking down at himself, "I really expected more of you. I figured you'd hate someone important, like a Yevon official or something…"

"You don't understand Kael." I said, anger apparent in my voice. Even Tidus's image was enough to anger me.

Kael shrugged. "Maybe I don't, but it seems to make you angry, so it'll do fine.." He said.

I gripped the hilt of my sword tightly, so tight that my knuckled were white and sweat slid down onto the blade. I didn't want to attack, but the rage was beginning to take control of my body, and I slashed at Kael, hard.

Kael knew how to play me. He wanted a good fight, so he knew to get me angry, and now I was doing exactly what he wanted.

We fought like this for a bit, till I managed to do something Kael didn't expect.

I hit him.

The large gash on his arm began bleeding and he fell back, changing to his normal form too.

"Damn you!" He hissed, and I smirked.

"What? Have you never been hit before?" I asked.

Kael glared at me, before snapping his fingers. Both our mother and father appeared next to him, and it was easy to tell who they were. Kael and I are both spitting images of our father, except I have one thing different. My eyes were the same as my mother's.

My father pulled a sword, and my mother a spear. Both attacked me at once, but it did no good. I threw my mom against the cliff face and grabbed the spear the she had dropped, throwing it at her. It went through her stomach and into the cliff, anchoring her there.

I then turned quickly, as my father raised his sword, and slashed across his chest. It took a moment, but a gash appeared and the top half of his body slid a bit from the bottom, before he crumpled.

Kael's eyes were widened in shock as I turned to him and slightly moved my blood, to get the blood off it.

"You were a fool to mess with me like that." I said.

My brother managed to get a hold of himself and glare at me. "You know nothing of love." He growled quietly.

"Oh, I don't?" I asked, "I know what 'I love you' means."

"Yeah, and what would that me?" Kael asked.

"It's doing the right thing, no matter what the consequence." I replied, and Kael snorted slightly.

"Like you understand that." he said.

"I do. Need an example?" I asked.

"I don't need one, just tell me so I can see if you understand your own words." Kael said.

"I love Yuna, and I promised her I'd protect her home." I said, "And I'm going to keep that promise, because it's the right thing to do, even if it costs me my life."

"And it will brother!" Kael hissed, "But not today it wont..I'm too tired to keep this going." I snorted, but said nothing.

"Until next time." Kael said, before disappearing, along with his machina. I let out a breath, and then fell to my knees.

I hadn't shown it a second ago, but I was totally drained, both emotionally and physically.

Shinra's controls came back online, and Seig's image disappeared.

I slowly turned till I was on my back, staring at the blue sky with a small smile.

/I won../ I thought/just like I promised…/
