--- Year 900 BG – A terrible price for a dream
As soon as the fayth realized what Yu Yevon / Sin were doing every 10 years, the fayth regretted their decision to join Yu Yevon's grandiose plan dearly. Preserving Zanarkand's memories wasn't worth submitting their fellow Spirans to 100 years of cruelty, death and mayhem. It wasn't worth turning Spira into a planet full of widows and orphans, where parents didn't get to see their kids grow up and parentless kids had to grow up in orphanages or band together in a mock family. A place where husbands and wives had just a few years together, brothers had to be surrogate parents and where few lived long enough to get old. A place where most young adults were already like their distant heir in the future, Yuna from FFX which had already been trough the grief of losing her mother, her father, her beloved Tidus and several friends to Sin while being only 19 years old.
The fayth were horrified by Sin's constant killing and the cruel Spiral of Death that Sin and an unconscious Yu Yevon have been inflicting on Spira for so long. They were also mortified that all this carnage had been done to protect them and their dream of keeping Zanarkand alive. Even if it was an accident, the fact that every 10 years a mass murder was committed in their name was something that made them feel sick to their stomach, if they still had one, but what could they do ? They were also under Yu Yevon's powerful spell. They just couldn't stop Sin by themselves alone. But they could help the High Summoner candidates train and they could help in the High Summoners last battle against Sin, even if it only gave Spirans a brief respite. And they could keep on dreaming, to keep their mind off all the sorrow they had inadvertently inflicted to Spira. So most of the Zanarkand fayth kept on dreaming, while a few went to the Yevon temples to provide Aeons for the High Summoner candidates. And that is how they have lived for almost 900 years.
--- Year 10 BG – Jecht arrives in Spira, The Zanarkand Dream starts to crumble
Almost 1,000 years have passed after Yu Yevon has summoned the city of Zanarkand to preserve it and protect it from Bevelle. The fayth on the huge fayth stone at the base of Mt Gagazet were tired of dreaming and tired of seeing Spirans die at the hands of Sin, but they had no way to stop any of it. If only they had listened to Lord Kyouyu! Alas, there was nothing they could do but dream… Some had even forgot that there was anything to do but dream, giving up their hope of one day waking up and not seeing Spira's Death Spiral turning right in front of their eyes
On the Zanarkand of their dream, life had progressed peacefully for 1,000 years. Dream people were born, lived their lives and faded away, just like real Spirans but with a much easier life. No war had touched dream Zanarkand, and although they had only limited magic the Dream Zanarkand citizens had machines to provide them with the amenities of a modern city life. Instead of the Zanarkand Dome, the Dream City had a giant stadium, where the city's residents could watch concerts, blitzball games and other shows. The city nightlife was very active, Dream Zanarkand never slept, always having a bar or dance place open. Kids in Dream Zanarkand got to see their parents often and parents were able to see their kids grow up, blossoming into young adults that made them proud.
But not all was idyllic in Dream Zanarkand. The fayth wanted their city to feel real so a person's life in Dream Zanarkand was still fraught with the pains and sorrows that afflict us all: Jobs were lost, people got divorced, friends fought, parents and kids got estranged from each other. There were saints and sinners, good cops and bad cops, and someone's life could got through all the ups and downs one can go through in one of our own sky scraper ridden cities. Some had drinking problems, some were thieves and there were pickpockets, con artists and all the riff raff that usually prey on a big city. Dream Zanarkand's life wouldn't feel too strange for a New Yorker.
One day, roughly 10 years ago, Jecht, a famous blitzball player from Dream Zanarkand was swimming outside the Zanarkand shore to practice some moves. Jecht was getting older and his career had been going downhill, so he had been drinking heavily and fighting a lot with his wife and 7 year old son. On that day he swam too far from shore and inadvertently got in contact with Sin.
After Jecht was touched by Sin he woke up in Spira, on the shores near Bevelle. This was the beginning of the end for Dream Zanarkand, as Jecht started a series of events that brought Tidus to Spira and allowed the fayth to finally get some help in stopping Yu Yevon, not the Summoner but the unconscious "thing" who lived only for Sin and summoning that was all that remained from the once great Zanarkand mage.
--- Year 0 AG – FFX Game starts - Sin is back, Jecht is in it. Jecht begs Auron to free him
At the Zanarkand dome 10 years ago Jecht had volunteered to be Braska's Final Aeon. The last thing Jecht was able to ask Auron before the transformation was to have Auron find a way to travel to his Zanarkand and take care of Tidus, his 7 year old son. When Yu Yevon possessed Jecht's Final Aeon their minds merged and Jecht was able to find the truth about his and Tidus Zanarkand: It was just a summon from Yu Yevon and the Zanarkand fayth. After meeting a dying Auron in his last throes at the outskirts of Bevelle, Jecht chose not to tell Auron about his Zanarkand being a dream of the fayth, opting for absorbing Auron's unsent form into the summons of Dream Zanarkand instead. Dream or not Tidus was his kid, the boy would need a father or at least a mentor. After Jecht's help Auron arrived at Dream Zanarkand and immediately started looking for Jecht's family, to keep his promise The last thing Jecht was able to do before being completely subjugated by Yu Yevon's need to rebuild Sin was to tell Auron that he would come back in 10-20 years to get Tidus and Auron and take them to the Spira where Zanarkand was just ruins.
Jecht woke up on and off during the next nine years, but his first vivid memory was from the day Sin was about to massacre some crusaders gathered at Djose beach. He saw all the carnage and his heart ached at the people dying senselessly but he could not control the beast and was limited to watch in horror as Sin killed and killed, hundreds of men, young adults and even women and children. He did not know then, but one of the dead was Wakka's brother Chappu. Jecht fought Sin / Yu Yevon with all his strength and was finally able to turn the beast around to sea, after the beast lust for violence had been satiated by hundreds of deaths. It was almost too late, but Jecht's action managed to spare a few dozen of wounded and dazed soldiers. Jecht wanted to scream, to cry. He was nauseated at all that he had seen. But the tears never came. , the nausea never ended. While he was awake ,there was no relief for his guilt and repulse at what he had just done. Only oblivion, only by letting his self go and letting Sin / Yu Yevon dominate all his thoughts he could get some reprieve. He was part of the monster now.
Jecht knew he would continue killing as Sin just until a High Summoner stopped him, but when would that happen ? Would he still be himself after seeing that kind of carnage for 1 month ? For 1 year ? He had to do something. And it had to be soon before Sin's violence consumed him and he got as insane and oblivious to killing as the "thing" that called itself Yu Yevon. Jecht shuddered at the thought of it. A fate worse than death, for the dead were allowed rest from Spira's sorrow.
Jecht managed to contact Auron in Dream Zanarkand and told him that it was time. He wanted him and Tidus back to Spira of Sin and Summoners. Jecht explained to Auron his despair at becoming a mass murdering monster and his fear of loosing his soul to that violence. He begged Auron to find a way to free him, and to find a way for him and Tidus to talk one last time. And that is when Jecht and Auron planned the mission that Auron and Tidus would try in Spira: Have Tidus and Auron aid a High Summoner kill Sin before Jecht was too far gone. This way Jecht would be able to talk with his son one last time. They decided to bring Tidus to Besaid, where Auron knew Yuna, Lord Braska's daughter, was. Lord Braska was the High Summoner they had journeyed with, their mutual friend who had lead the pilgrimage and had given his life to provide Spira's latest calm was. Auron had promised Braska that he would take care of Yuna and he wanted to keep his word.
--- They call me Sin… (From my short story about Jecht)
Those battles are getting harder and harder.. I finally managed to get where I want but I am exhausted, unable to think straight any longer… But I can't afford to loose my control. Not now. I battled too much to get here. Somehow I thought it would be easier this time.
They call me Sin. But I'm still fighting. Today more than ever. I have to fight my murdering urges. Just a bit longer. My son Tidus is down there. I gave up too much to loose him now, but I can barely keep myself from killing him and all around him, oblivious to what I destroy. I need Auron to get my son out of there before I can't hold myself any longer. I fear the worst. Auron, where are you ?
Patience. If I loose my temper all is lost. I will be engulfed in a murderous rage and all the last 10 years would have been in vain. Patience, ha! I never had it, now it is even more impossible… Damn it, Auron where are you ? I can't hold out much longer.
Finally! What took you so long ? Of course I'm sure about it! Give me my son! Now!
Relief. Anger. Oblivion. Horror. Guilt, so much guilt! The familiar kaleidoscope of emotions after I killed so many starts dancing around my head… But I mostly feel a great sense of relief. I got it. I got Tidus into my life again. He is here in the ruins of Zanarkand, unconscious. And I can at least feel a little bit like myself again..
Where's Auron ? He could be here, guiding my son. That lousy stiff! Sorry Auron, I know I can trust you, I just wish you were down there now. Yes, I know you took care of him for the past 10 years but would it kill you to hold on a little longer ? Tidus is such a crybaby. He is crying again, see ? A softie like his mom… Does he really play blitz well? He seems a little small… Are you sure you made him eat well ?
So tired! I need to sleep. I wasn't able to get my son to his final destination. It will have to wait, I have no energy left to fight… He will be safe in this sunken city. The Zanarkand that I just destroyed, but 1,000 years later… Damn it Auron, did you have to leave so soon ?
Darkness and oblivion engulf me and I welcome them. They release me form from my guilt and my worries
The lone boat in the ocean looks like a toy ship from where I am. Tidus is there, I can sense it. I can sense some other people around him. People that helped him, fed him and are being his friends for the past two days. People that I need to kill now. I will try to leave him some of his friends. But I'm too exhausted Zanarkand, from the battle to keep Tidus alive, from traveling through time, from wanting to do this for so long and finally doing it.
The enormous relief is the closest thing to happiness I have felt in 10 years. I feel like crying. One day I hope I will be able to tell you Tidus, to tell you that I never cared if you were a cry baby, I loved you just the same. I just worried, you know ? Life is not easy on the people who feel deeply like you and your mom. I had to be tough. I had to be the one who protected you. The one who would make you strong.
There you are, sleeping like a baby in my arms. You were always such a tiny little runt! I was always nervous I would let you fall, so I usually gave you back to your mom immediately. But I loved to see you sleeping peacefully, I loved to sing you a lullaby. Do you remember the lullaby I used to sing for you ? I still sing it even though you can't hear me anymore…
I ev yu i
No bo me no
Re n mi ri
Yo ju yo gov
Ha sa te ka na e
Ku ta ma e
I can't stop crying son, but the tears won't come out. I scream with remorse but my screams are lodged in my throat. I wasn't always a murderer, son. I never wanted to be one. But one day, ten years ago, I fell through the sands of time from your Zanarkand to this pale shadow we have here, one thousand years later. And 10 moths later I woke up a mass murderer. They call me Sin now. It is not who I want to be. It is not - not yet - who I am. But I'm losing this battle. I need you to rescue me from myself, son.
Oh, what's the use! You are sleeping and you can't hear me. But I will keep talking to you. I will keep singing you to sleep. It is my last shred of humanity. My last shred of the Jecht I was. . It is what kept me alive all this years. If you can call this living… There. Go! Wake up to write "your story" as Auron says. And Tidus ? Hate me as much as you want but kill me soon. I can't live like that for much longer.
I did it Auron! I left him in Besaid's beach. I will try to leave you and him alone for a while. But you better get him ready fast. I'm loosing control Auron. I can't hold out for much longer. In a few months I will be Sin. They call me Sin now and I will be Sin soon. You have to help me. You have to protect Tidus and Yuna from me. You have to keep both of them safe from all the other evils that await them. Do you promise me Auron ? On your life ?
Ha! Got you there you old stiff! Just get them ready will you ? Trust me, I have a plan… Jecht out.
--- Year 0 AG – FFX Game ends - Sin is dead, Jecht is free
Helped by Auron and Tidus, Yuna and her Spira friends, her guardians were able to reach Zanarkand's ruins. At the fayth spring near Zanarkand Tidus learns he is part of the fayth's dream. At the dome they meet Yunalesca who tells Yuna she has to choose one of her friends to be turned into a fayth, just like Zaeon had done long ago. Yuna asks Yunalesca if there is any hope of killing Sin this time and Yunalesca tells her the truth: Sin will come back regardless of any atonement by Spirans or Yuna's skill as a Summoner , because Yu Yevon will take the fayth created by Yunalesca from one of Yuna's friends and use it to rebuild Sin.
Yuna is horrified and refuses to let one of her friends die for a lie. Yunalesca tells her the lie is needed to preserve Spira's hope, but Yuna refuses to accept this. Yuna and her guardians decide to battle Yunalesca, by now angry at Yuna and trying to send Yuna and her guardians to "rest" on the Farplane. After all those years Yunalesca's commitment to her promise to Zaeon has crystallized into a fanatic need to create a Final Aeon every 10 years and she will go as far as killing Yuna and her entire team to avoid any disruptions on Spira's cycle of death / calm. By now Yunalesca is as much a prisoner of Spira's Spiral of Death as her father is.
Yuna's team kills Yunalesca. After 1,000 years Yunalesca finally goes to the Farplane where she joins Zaeon and his spirit starts to heal her wounded spirit, trapped for so long in Spira's spiral of death. After the battle with Yunalesca they go to Bevelle where Yuna and Tidus talk with Bahamut's fayth and learn more about the thing Yu Yevon has become. Bahamut's fayth promises to help Yuna and her team but he cautions Tidus about the consequences of stopping the fayth's dreaming: Tidus will most likely fade away together with Dream Zanarkand. Inspired by Yuna's commitment to sacrificing herself for Spira Tidus can do no less. Tidus accepts his imminent death and tells Bahamut's fayth he is grateful for the life he has had to date. Tidus lies to a puzzled Yuna, trying to hide the need for his sacrifice from her.
Talking to the other fayth at Spira's temples Tidus gets a faint hope that he may yet return to Spira but he understands that he must disappear now. After having accepted Yuna's willingness to die just to give just 10 years without Sin, could he do any different?
Aided by Tidus and the fayth, Yuna and her team finally kill Sin and the thing that Yu Yevon had become. The fayth could finally stop dreaming and Spira's Death Spiral had been stopped. But that meant that Tidus could no longer exist, as he was a product of the fayth's dreams. But he accepted it, after Yuna taught him the value of self sacrifice, he was ready to sacrifice himself to obtain what she was willing to give her own life to get...
--- 0 AG – FFX Game ends - Tidus disappears - Game scene. Defeat Jecht, Nemesis and Penance if needed (1)
Tidus' group's final battle is against Yu Yevon. Finally, after defeating Yu Yevon, Yu Yevon is gone… Yuna performs her sending. Auron's is disappearing.
Auron: Don't stop.
Yuna: But I...
Auron: It's all right. It's been long enough. This is your world now.
Auron steps on the center circle and he disappears . ..Yuna performs her sendings on the Aeons and Sin.. Then, we see the Caverns of Darkness where the water stopped forming a whirlwind. One of the water bubbles shows Tidus in it… in the airship, Tidus is starting to disappear from Spira.
Tidus: Yuna, I have to go.
Yuna nods "no".
Tidus: I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand. Goodbye!
Tidus is about to jump off the airship.
Wakka: Hey!
Rikku: We're gonna see you again...?
Yuna runs after Tidus.
Kimahri: Yuna!
Yuna tried to hold on to Tidus, but she went through and fell down.
Tidus is disappearing. Yuna gets up.
Yuna: I love you.
Tidus gave Yuna a hug although she can't feel him. Then Tidus is about to jump and the group started waving goodbye. Tidus jumps off the airship, and we see Jecht, Auron, and Braska. Jecht reunites with Tidus.
Later in Luca, Yuna tried the whistle blow with fingers, but it is no use, as we know Tidus is gone.
Lulu: Yuna, it's time.
Everyone in Luca are happy as they are about to listen to Yuna…
Yuna: Just, one more thing... The people and the friends that we have lost, or the dreams that have faded...
Yuna: Never forget them.
Then credits roll and the song Suteki Da Ne (Isn't It Wonderful?) plays. After that, we watch the final movie of Tidus waking up in the water and he swims all the way up. This ends our story and the game.

--- 2 AG – Game FFX2 Starts, 2 years after the events in FFX happened
Two years have passed since Yuna has destroyed Sin. Like almost everyone in Spira, the Besaid's blitzball team members - the Besaid Aurochs, - have decided to join one of the new teams pursuing the secrets of Spira's past. Keeping with the tradition of Besaidians Luzu and Gatta, the Aurochs decide to side with former Crusader Nooj and his Youth League. Yuna's hometown is understandably not very fond of New Yevon, after the old Yevon order caused Yuna so much grief two years ago.
Meanwhile Yuna joins Rikku on the hunt for clues of Spira's past, as a sphere hunter. Two years ago Rikku joined Yuna's pilgrimage as a guardian right before Yuna reached Guadosalam, on the hopes of protecting Yuna from certain death in the battle with Sin. Now, being the fiercely protective cousin she is, Rikku has dragged Yuna out of Besaid and her sheltered existence, trying to rescue Yuna from her sadness and to teach Yuna how to have fun. Together with Brother and his friends Buddy and ShinRa, plus a mysterious girl called Paine they form a team called the Gullwings. Yuna, Rikku and Paine form the YRP branch of the Gullwings, who does the hunting and the battling while Buddy, Brother and ShinRa provide support and fly the Airship Celsius around Spira to get the girls everywhere they need to be.
--- 2 AG – Game FFX2 chapter 2 - The Fayth Sings to Yuna ( from my Wedding Bells at Besaid Fan Fiction)
Lunch at Lulu's was delicious, much better than the usual barkeep's fare they had at the spaceship. Yuna and the girls told Wakka and Lulu their plan to sneak up on the thief guild's leader chateau as soon as they pilfered some syndicate uniforms. The nerve of that thief to swipe a sphere from the Celsius! Motherhood suited Lulu well: Smiling and jovial Lulu was a far cry from the short fused sermon granting guardian she had been in Yuna's pilgrimage. Wakka was his usual self: a warm hearted bear hugging befuddled loyal friend, obsessing about his latest challenge - imminent fatherhood - and moving cheerfully around.
Yuna closed her eyes and just listened to the excited voices around her. Besaid would always be her home. This is where she settled in after her father died fighting Sin when she was merely 7, this was the place he had chosen for her to grow up. Ever since Kimahri brought her to Besaid all those years ago she had had Lulu and Wakka beside her. Despite being born in Bevelle, and currently being traveling all around Spira on the Celsius, this is where her home was. In Besaid the dull ache that was Tidus absence didn't bother her as much. Unlike the rest of Spira, which they crossed together on her High Summoner's pilgrimage 2 years ago, here she had many other happy memories that didn't include Tidus. Still, the sight of a blitzball ball always made her heart race, regardless of where she was, and Wakka had his, and the Tournament Trophy he and Tidus conquered hanging on the wall behind her. Tidus and Wakka were so proud of that trophy!
The memories came rushing into Yuna's mind, of Tidus on the boat to Kilika practicing his Jecht shot, of the Luca Goers harassing Tidus and Wakka about the Aurochs endless losing streak, about her getting so mad at the Goers players she wanted to punch them… And there was that lump on her throat back, the longing that came with any memory of her time with Tidus, the urge to yell and laugh madly, like she and Tidus had done on the stairs of Luca and Kilika.
Yuna rushed outside before anyone noticed the tears welling up on her eyes, looking for a place to be alone with her sadness. She definitely didn't want to hear another pep talk from Rikku or another sermon telling her to "let go" from Lulu and Paine. Yuna wished that Kimahri was here. His calm silent presence always made her losses seem less daunting. He had been with her as her guardian ever since her father's death, but nowadays he was needed at Mt. Gagazet, to guide the Ronso trough their troubles. She walked alone towards the temple hill she had gone so many times before. She could swear she heard the hymn of the faith beckoning her there, as it had done all her life until the faith left 2 years ago taking Tidus with them…
Alone with her tears Yuna stood, looking at the sun reflected in the blue waters of the calm bay. There was no faith hymn anymore. It made the absence of her beloved Aeons and her friends Kimahri, Auron and Tidus even more obvious. Tidus absence was like an open chest wound by now, the pain spreading and making her body feel numb and cold. She was shivering under the high noon sun. Once more she thought of Kimahri and the memories of her father, her mother, Chappu, Luzu and all her other friends lost to Sin came rushing back.
Oddly enough, this made her feel a little bit better about Tidus. Their last battle and his loss ensured that no one else would lose friends or family to that monster. As her father once said, by defeating Sin they had put an end to sorrow itself. He was right. Her own pain was nothing compared to the grief and sorrow Sin and Yu Yevon submitted Spira on the past 1,000 years. Drying her tears in her skirt she slowly made her way back to Lulu's, bent on getting back to the Celsius and away from her memories as soon as she could.
--- 2 AG – Game FFX2 chapter 3 – Fiends coming out of the Temples, Dark Aeons, Yuna visits the Farplane (Source Final Fantasy Compendium – FF10 Story)
Fiends begin popping out of the temples. Apparently ..dark Aeons are behind it. First the Gullwings head to Besaid, where they find Beclem (a guy sent by the Youth League to whip the Aurochs into shape) and Wakka in a fight over how to deal with it. Beclem wants to burn down the temple, Wakka would rather not. In the end, the Gullwings beat dark Valefor and the fiends stop anyway. A big hole is there where the fayth used to be.
Nooj, Baralai, and Gippal all disappear; they head for the Farplane, where they aim to stop Shuyin. Shuyin's aura finally leaves Nooj and enters Baralai, who goes towards Vegnagun, pursued by the other two.
With the disappearance of their leaders, Spira begins to fall into chaos and bickering. (3)
--- 2 AG – Game FFX2 chapter 4 - Tensions rising in Spira ( Summary of game events from my Wedding Bells at Besaid Fan Fiction)
The tension and aggression between the two warring factions of New Yevon and the Youth League started escalating rapidly with both their leaders missing... Kilika was in the brink of war with the Yevonites under siege in the temple surrounded by the nervous Youth League warriors. Donna their resident Summoner was usually able to calm things down but she was having problems of her own with Bartello this time. Things were only slightly better at the other Spira villages. The girls started fearing the worst. With tempers running high, any little incident could spark a planet wide fight between Yevonites and Youth Leaguers. Even cool headed business tycoon Rin was on the edge, after being plagued by a slew of strange incidents involving his hovers and the machina he used to protect Mi'hen Highroad.
Yuna, Rikku and Paine wanted to do something and Brother deferred to Yuna's wishes as usual, blustering "let's kick some Vegnangun's arse" with bravado. But this time Yuna and her team were just too tired to fight the colossus, a machina / fiend almost as large as Sin, controlled by a very powerful hate filled unsent spirit like Shuyin. So what could they do to help calm Spira ?
- "It's not like we can get everyone to sing campfire songs" mused Paine aloud
- "That's it!" shouted Yuna and Rikku together
- "That's what ?" asked Brother
- "Yuna can throw a concert. That ought to help people calm down" said Rikku
- "That's perfect!" said Brother who was already having visions of a scantly clad Yuna singing and dancing in front of him and immediately getting kicked by Rikku who saw his leering eyes and read his intentions easily
--- 2 AG – Game FFX2 chapter 4 – Lenne's song ( Summary of game events from my Wedding Bells at Besaid Fan Fiction)
At the concert Lenne's spirit came loose from Yuna's dancer dressphere and overwhelmed Yuna and ShinRa's large stage spheres. All of a sudden concert goers were presented with a virtual replica of Zanarkand from 1,000 years ago and of Lenne's last moments on it: Her desperate escape from Bevelle with her lover Shuyin, the lovers being cornered against the colossus Vegnagun and the Yevonite guard mercilessly executing the couple. This all to the tune of a heartfelt song from Lenne describing the foolishness of war and the beauty of love, and the regret she had of never being able to tell Shuyin how much she loved him, until it was too late. There was not a dry eye left in the Thunder Plains and on the people watching the concert all across Spira via commsphere. And that's when the permanently overcast skies of the plains parted to let a ray of sunlight bathe Yuna / Lenne while the Summoner and the spirit sang of their hope for peace and love in Spira.
Yuna woke up from her trance merge with Lenne on their cabin on the Celsius, being attended by a very worried Rikku and Paine. Nevertheless, she felt perfectly fine. Now Yuna finally understood why Shuyin was so angry and hate filled and what was missing for him, what would make his spirit rest: Lenne's last words of love. Rikku and Paine told her the good news: All Spira had been moved by her song and the Yevonites and Leaguers had started peace talks right after the concert.
--- 2 AG – Game FFX2 chapter 5- Vegnagun destroyed, Shuyin and Lenne reunited
At the bridge Brother fretted and fussed around Yuna but she was relieved upon learning the reason behind Lenne's periodical hijacking of her body. Having loved Tidus just as much as the unfortunate lovers she could understand Lenne's urgency to contact Shuyin and had a good idea of his regrets. She had harbored similar thoughts about the loss of Tidus, Sir Auron and her Aeons for the last 2 years, until that day in Spira when she was finally able to make peace with her and Tidus sacrifice for Spira. Shuyin's spirit had been adrift in sorrow and regret for the last 1,000 years never able to make peace with his and Lenne's sacrifice, never able to understand that it wasn't his fault things turned out so dire, never hearing Lenne's absolution and her love for him regardless of the tragic fate he brought them both. That for 1,000 years! 100 would be enough to drive anyone insane. Only Lenne's love had a chance to heal Shuyin's tortured soul.
Yuna felt she could give Shuyin and Lenne the gift of closure and redemption. And as with Sin's destruction. Yuna was pretty sure no one else could do it but her. She just knew. Being who she was, the daughter of a man who gave his life for his fellow men without hesitation, Yuna could do no less. And just as before with Sin, Yuna was committed to give all of her strength and skills to bring relief to endless grief and sorrow. She would disarm Vegnagun and heal the lovers spirit or die trying.
After an event filled battle with Vegnagun the Gullwing girls were able to destroy it and reunite Lenne with Shuyin , Yuna is finally ready to go home to Besaid, a little less devastated at her loss of the love of her life Tidus, after seeing how Shuyin's regrets for loosing Lenne almost drove him utterly insane…

Fayth: Thanks. (Bahamut's Fayth thanks Yuna for rescuing them from Vegnagun)
Yuna: You're very welcome.
Fayth: You heard it, didn't you? (He is referring to Tidus whistling that Yuna had just heard twice)
Fayth: You want to see him?
Yuna: Him?
Fayth: Yes. You want to walk together again?
Yuna: Yes!
Fayth: I can't promise anything but we'll do what we can.
Fayth fades, Yuna walks into the distance
… (later at the Celsius deck)
Rikku: Did we really have to leave like that? Just think of the party we are missing!
Paine: I think we party enough, don't you?
Yuna: Brother, higher!
Brother: Roger!
….
Celsius flies some more and Yuna thinks to herself
Yuna: So much has happened.
Yuna: And I'm sure it's only the beginning.
Yuna: Through the smiles and tears, through the anger
Yuna: .. and the laughter that follows..
Yuna: That I'll keep changing.
Yuna: This is my story. It'll be a good one.
Yuna: It all began when I saw this sphere of you. (2)
