Chapter XVII: Back to the Future

" Listen and listen well you two are never to step inside this chamber is that clear?" Dr.Odine shouted in the faces of Tidus and Zell.

" Crystal dude" Zell replied.

"Yea whatever" Tidus said crossing his arms to his chest.

" Don't call me dude" Dr.Odine said walking off.

Tidus and Zell had been given a mission to watch over Dr.Odine's lab while he was on vacation from thieves or other scientists. There were lots of gadgets and scientific crap in his lab it was all too irresistible to touch. Tidus and Zell like little kids went around playing with stuff and knocking over crap until they came to the pod that Dr.Odine told them not to touch.

" I wonder what the capsule is for" Tidus asked.

" I dunno" Zell said. " Wanna find out"

" Totally" Tidus said stepping inside with Zell behind him.

" Ow kinda cramped in here" Zell said getting pushed against the wall. Sudden the door closed behind them sealing them inside. " Whoa uh dude"

"What man?" Tidus replied trying to get comfy.

" We're locked in!" Zell said bamming on the door. " No no no no no! We're gonna die!"

" WHAT!" Tidus said kicking around.

Suddenly the capsule began to vibrate with them inside and move. Tidus and Zell moved around and fell about when the ride finally stopped the door opened up. Zell and Tidus immediately dove out of the capsule before it closed again. They were still in Dr. Odine's lab…

" You two messed with my experiment didn't you!" Dr.Odine's voice rang in their ears.

" Sorry Doc couldn't resist" Tidus looked up to see Dr.Odine's brain floating in a machine.

" AAAAHHHHHH! YUCK A BRAIN I MEAN COOL A BRAIN!" Zell said standing up and walking over. " Doctor Odine is that you?" Zell asked tapping on the glass.

" Yes you bafoon!" The brain said. " Listen you two have bounced 10years into the future!"

" WHAT REALLY!" Tidus asked. "Cool"

" Yea totally" Zell said.

" How is that cool! Your in the future!" Dr.Odine said.

" Yea I know you told us already" Zell said.

" Get back in the pod so I can send you two back to your appropriate time" Dr.Odine said.

" Nah we wanna stay here awhile before we go back" Tidus said.

" Yea to see how all of our friends look I wonder if Squall's still a stuck up jerk" Zell said.

" Oh no…well go and do that but hurry back you bafoons!" Dr.Odine said.

" come on Zell" Tidus said running off.

:At Balamb Garden 10 years into the future:

Standing outside of the Garden was Tidus and Zell they were looking up at the Garden. The Garden hadn't changed abit it was still the same way it looked when they left it same size and no sign of aging or corroding.

" Man this place hasn't changed abit" Tidus said rubbing his head.

" I know" Zell said. The both of them started to walk inside they started past the door flashing their ID's amazingly they still worked. They walked into the hallways just before the elevator and looked around there was no students here.

" Tidus, Zell is that you!" A womanly voice said. Tidus and Zell turned to see a woman with long brown hair with one green eye and one blue eye walk over to them. She wore a blue blouse with long black pants she was slightly taller than they were.

" Uh Yuna?" Tidus said tilting his head to the side.

" Tidus Zell it is YOU! AND YOU GUYS HAVEN'T AGED A DAY!" Yuna said circling around them.

" Wow Yuna is HOT!" Zell whispered to Tidus.

" Yea can you say hentai star?" Tidus whispered back.

" Let's talk!" Yuna said pulling them along.

: In the Cafeteria:

" So you guys went into a time capsule and went into the future?" Yuna said rubbing her chin. " Wow"

" Yea" Zell said eating hotdogs.

" What's been happening around here in our absence" Tidus said.

" We thought you guys were dead, you disappeared off the face of the world we all went looking for you guys for three years straight then we just gave up went on with our lives" Yuna said drinking some tea.

" I see" Tidus said.

" So how's everybody?" Zell asked with his mouth full of hotdogs.

" We've all split up but most of us are SeeD instructors here" Yuna smiled.

" Really who's all still here at the Garden?" Tidus asked.

" Okay there's Kiako, Kuro, Avalon, Squall, Rinoa, Millie, Aerith, Paine, Rikku, Vivi, Genis and Presea everyone else is just gone" Yuna said sipping more tea.

" Hey honey" A man walked into the cafeteria with blonde hair tied back into alittle ponytail he had an eye patch over his right eye. He walked up to her and kissed Yuna on the cheek while holding her from behind.

" Oh hi dear" Yuna said.

" Dear? HONEY!" Tidus and Zell said at the same time.

" Oh Yuna and I are married uh…who are…wait no way!" Gippal said.

" Yes this is Tidus and Zell" Yuna said to him.

" No f$$$king way! We thought you two were dead!" Gippal said walking up to them.

" Um Gippal sweetie can you show Tidus and Zell around I have a summoning class to instruct" Yuna said looking at her watch. She waved to Tidus and Zell. " Sorry I couldn't stay longer bye you guys"

" Bye Yuna" The two of them waved.

"Well you guys let's go it's time I showed you what's really changed around here" Gippal said with his deep tone of voice. They all began to walk the halls…

"So you and Yuna huh?" Tidus said some what agitated.

" Yea when Yuna lost you she went into denial and I was there to scoop her up on the rebound" Gippal said. " I'm sorry Tidus"

" No it's okay as long as she's happy man" Tidus said. Suddenly running past them was a woman with long fire orange hair and five blue bangs going down past her chin, she had glasses and wore a sleeveless Kimono over an orange t shirt and some blue jeans.

" Oh no I'm late to teach my first class!" She said running with her long tail fluttering in the wind.

" Who was that?" Zell asked.

" That was Kiako Ornitier" Gippal replied.

"WOW KIAKO'S A BABE!" Tidus said watching her run up to the elevator. " REMIND ME TO BE NICE TO HER IN THE PAST"

" She's grown up to be one of the most loved girls at school" Gippal said. " Come on let's move on"

" What does Kiako teach?" Zell asked.

" 2D art, like drawing and painting" Gippal said. " And for her secondary it's garment grids, she's the first teacher to actually instruct a class on garment grids which is why she's so liked her teaching is very unusual but she gets the point across to the students"

They walked up to a class that had the word's ADVANCED SPELL CASTING in bold on the front door. All three of them looked through the front door window to see a woman pacing around the classroom with a book in hand as each student took turns reading. The woman was about 6'5 with long brown hair and red eyes, she wore a black mage garment with a cape.

" Who is that hot mama" Tidus said as his eyes turned into hearts anime style.

"Kuro Suzaku" Gippal said.

"WHAT!" Zell and Tidus said looking at Gippal.

"There is no way in all hell that's Kuro" Zell said pointing at Kuro through the glass. Suddenly the door automatically opened and the three of them fell in on their faces. They looked up to see Kuro staring down at them.

" What are you doing at my door?" Kuro said politely with a smile.

" Uhhh K-Kuro t-t-t-t-this is uuhj uhmmm what are your names!" Gippal said sweating bullets.

" Tidus" Tidus said.

" Zell" Zell said.

" Hmm your those two idiots we were looking for?" Kuro said with a smile knocking the both of them over their heads. She then closed the door without another word and went back to teaching her class.

" Ow" Zell said rubbing his head with a big lump on it.

" What's with her?" Tidus asked.

" Damn I almost pissed my pants" Gippal said. " Kuro is a mess in the future, she's more evil than ever, she had took some sort of therapy to deal with the stress she feels or something like that…All I know is that she smiles while she kicks your ass this time! And she kicks your ass twice as hard too!"

" Whoa…" Tidus and Zell said. "Let's get moving before she comes back"

They began to walk afew rows down and peaked into another window. This class was completely different form Kuro's class the students were throwing paper at the teacher as she cowered behind a desk. The woman hiding behind the desk was a girl with short brown hair and green eyes. She wore a white button up shirt with a black skirt with some marble black shoes.

" Uh…" Tidus said started to laugh.

"Who is that?" Zell asked.

" That's Millie Chan remember?" Gippal asked.

" Oh that little girl that liked Fira, well she grew up to be hot atleast" Tidus said.

" Yea thank god for that but… She's been through real hell in her life, 4years ago when everybody started to take their Instuctors exams. Irvine found her diary and posted it everywhere around the garden, People hung her underwear up on the goal posts, put up pictures of her naked…she even attempted to kill herself" Gippal explained.

Tidus and Zell found themselves angry if they were around something like that wouldn't have went down.

" So… like who stopped her from killing herself?" Zell asked.

" Well Kiako of course" Gippal replied. " She was about to hang herself when Kiako happened to come over and ask for alittle help with her work then kitty girl just saved her"

Gippal kicked the door open and the three of them walked into the room. Immediately everyone stopped throwing paper and sat correctly.

" Thank you Gippal" Millie said fixing her hair.

" No problem Millie just call me any time and I'll be here for ya" Gippal said turning around with Tidus and Zell following the both of them gave Millie a glare then left with Gippal. They walked all the way down the hallway to get to a Sword weilding class. They looked through the window to see a man swinging around a gunblade he had long dirty blonde hair and a scar over his face.

" Wow Squall I presume?" Zell said.

" Yea and he hasn't changed from when you last knew him, he's still stuck up but he'll talk every so often" Gippal said. They all went downstairs and walked into the library at the table was a woman with long brown hair and glasses she wore a pink hoody jacket with a white t shirt and blue pants.

" Hey Aerith" Gippal waved walking in.

" That's Aerith? HOT! BUT SHE'S GAY DAMMIT!" Tidus whispered to Zell.Walking into the Library behind them was Paine, she had long platinum blonde hair pulled back into a pony tail and wore a leather jacket with leather pants and no undershirt or bra. She walked in and kissed Aerith.

" Hey baby your back from your morning ride" Aerith smiled.

" Yea" Paine replied sitting up on the desk. "Let's blow this pop stand and have hot sex until we both faint"

" Okay I'll lock up! Excuse me you three are gonna have to leave!" Aerith said happily.

" Still lesbo after all these years" Gippal said to the boys as they all left. They all walked into the cafeteria again and sat around the table the were previously at.

" Okay I got some questions whatever happened to Cloud and Tifa?" Tidus asked.

" They got married and now runs a bar called 7th Heaven in Midgar" Gippal replied.

" Okay just to get this out of the way whose all married?" Tidus asked.

" Irvine & Selphie, Squall & Rinoa, Genis and Presea are engaged, Vivi and Eiko are engaged, Utada & Sephiroth are married, Llyod &Colette are getting together next week, Quistis & Nooj, Zidane & Garnet and that's all I know" Gippal said.

" I see so what ever happened to Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi" Tidus asked.

" Kakashi's still here but Naruto and the gang left back to Konoha" Gippal replied.

" Hmm what ever happened to Hao and Sesshoumaru" Zell asked.

" I dunno what happened to those two to be honest four years ago they just up and left without a word to anyone they were just gone the next morning" Gippal said. "And we haven't seen them since."

" And Avalon?" Tidus asked.

" Avalon is still here I can't believe we haven't came across him yet" Gippal said looking around. " Well Avalon helps to run the disciplinary committee and he bought a real expensive ring for Kuro he's gonna propose sometime this eternity!"

" Hahahaha" Zell laughed.

" Seriously everytime he gets around to doing it he curls up like alittle punk" Gippal said.

" Okay so what happened to Fira yea him that keyblade guy" Tidus said.

Gippal looked down as his blonde bangs covered his eyes. " We don't mention him too much around here"

" Why not?" Zell asked.

" Because he's a back stabbing bastard!" Gippal said slamming his fist down on the table.

" What?" Tidus said. " Fira a backstabber don't be redicul…"

" He did he betrayed us!" Gippal said. " That's why Rikku and Yuffie isn't here!"

"Huh? What happened" Zell asked. Gippal relaxed then sat down to tell the story.

"It was around the second month of your disappearance, okay we went on a mission it was Fira, me, Yuna, Aerith, Paine, Utada, Sephiroth, Avalon, Kuro and Kiako, we were headed to Hollow Bastion to seal up a keyhole, along the way we met this witch named Maleficent, we fought after awhile we defeated her and became victorious. When we finally got to the keyhole something happened, Fira he changed… instead of sealing the keyhole he tossed his keyblade aside and leaped into the keyhole" Gippal said.

Zell and Tidus just watched Gippal while eating pop corn and drinking sodas.

" When he came out he was different, he attacked all of us and killed Rikku, that day was known as the day of reckoning, Fira almost destroyed the world he called forth an Army of Heartless and a new form of creatures called the Soulless. Using Vegnagun we were able to drive Fira and his army back…" Gippal said. " Kiako and Utada insisted that we captured Fira we thought there was something wrong with him"

"AND!" Zell and Tidus said.

"There was he was being controlled by Ansem" Gippal said.

" So there you have it," Tidus said. " Fira was possessed"

" I'm not through with the story" Gippal said. " We managed in exorcising and destroying Ansem but Fira was still evil that darkness still remained in his heart, he had a choice to throw it away or keep the darkness… Fira drove all of us away he was out of control, he destroyed everything, the gardens, cities"

" All by himself?" Zell shouted standing up.

" That power that darkness inside of him, that power was almost unlimited" Gippal said. "We tried to stop him but he was too strong"

:Flashback:

Walking through the streets was one 17 year old teenager dressed in a black leather jumpsuit with long black dreads and red pupils. He walked through the smoke to a squadron of soldiers.

" FIRE!" The commander ordered. They unloaded their machine guns on the teen. The bullets bounced off as if his body were made of steel or titanium. The teen all of a sudden shouted exploding with dark energy destroying all of the soldiers turning them into specs of dust before him. He walked through the carnage only to be stopped by two people.

" I'm gonna summon!" The cat girl said tipping up her glasses she bit her thumb and started up a circle but couldn't finish it when she was blown back by a dark blast. The black mage fired a Waterga spell at him, he flipped up jumping over the wave then grabbed the black mage Kuro by her face ramming her into the concrete. From nowhere a man in a large black cape came down ramming his millennium rod down on the crazied teen… Fira grabbed Avalon out of the air and punched him in the stomach sending him flying back. Utada flipped out of the mist and rushed Fira, Fira turned and dodged all of Utada's attacks, he kicked her down on the ground and placed his foot down on her body.

" Fira why are you doing this! STOP THIS PLEASE!" Utada screamed as tears rushed down her face. Fira held up his hand as a black energy generated in his hand he was about to kill Utada when a ninja Shuriken flew his way. Fira flipped backwards then fired the blast at Yuffie the blast flew right through her body and she died almost instantly. Sephiroth came flying at Fira with his one wing out, Fira grabbed the masamune then grabbed Sephiroth's left arm and ripped it out of it's socket.

"AHHHHHH!" Sephiroth screamed.

Cloud, Paine, Aerith, Squall, Auron, Vincent, Kakashi, Zabuza, Seifer, Gippal, Baralai, Zidane and Amarant rushed into the battle. Fira's body resonated with red energy this time with that he jumped up and unleashed a wave of energy blowing every back, he disappeared with a red aura reappearing behind Zidane he kicked Zidane in the back of the head and disappeared reappearing infront of Cloud double punching him down into the concrete. Fira disappeared and reappeared above everyone with a gun in his hand.

" EVERYBODY MOVE!" Kakashi ordered. Fira then unloaded shooting the M4 rifle off at everybody. As the automatic machine gun ran out of bullets he flew off disappearing into the mist of night.

:Back:

"And that's all I remember and that was all 10years ago" Gippal said. " Nobody knows what happened to Fira or where he is"

" Whoa Fira goes nuts in the future?" Zell said.

" I think that's enough dwelling in the future" Tidus said. "Let's get back, who knows it's probably because we disappeared that the timeline changed" Tidus said.

" Yea" Zell said.

" Hmm?" Gippal was alittle confused.

" Can we get a ride back to Esthar?"

" Sure"

: In Esthar:

" Doc we're ready to go back" Tidus said.

" Yea" Zell said.

" It's about time" Dr.Brain er… Odine said as they walked into the time chamber. The chamber started to vibrate and move around again. When the door opened the both of them flipped forward out of the chamber standing right there was Dr.Odine in his skin actually.

" Whoa we're back!" Zell said.

" Yea" Tidus said.

" I TOLD YOU TWO NOT TO TOUCH THIS CHAMBER!" Odine shouted.

They took off running out of Dr. Odine's lab! They took an airship back to Balamb Garden and ran through the front gates. They spotted Kiako in the hallway walking carrying her books to class. They grabbed her at the same time and kissed her on both cheeks.

"CALL ME IN ABOUT TEN YEARS!" Zell said giving her his number.

O.o "HUH!" Kiako said looking around blushing. The both of them took off running.

" Glad I did that ahead of time she's gonna be a babe!" Tidus said as they both ran. They spotted Avalon and Kuro sitting together at a lunch table eating lunch. They ran in and whispered to Avalon. " Don't be afraid…just do it okay? If she says yes GOOD FOR YOU! If she says no then your so screwed… because I'm gonna get her" they then looked at Kuro and said. "DON'T TAKE THERAPY YOU DON'T NEED" (O.o) They took off running again and spotted Sephiroth walking in the hallways alone. They ran up to him…

" Don't be the first to rush him okay, your arm will be missing if you do" Tidus said.

"What?" Sephiroth said rubbing his head. They spotted Yuffie and Rikku walking and talking together. They ran up and hugged them both.

" Your alive" Zell said.

" Thank god I can't imagine you two dead" Tidus said.

" oooo kaaaaayyyyy" Yuffie and Rikku said looking wide eyed.

They spotted Fira walking in the hallways yawning while rubbing his chest. Tidus ran over and jacked Fira up against a wall Fira turned chibi right at that instant.

"DON'T TURN EVIL!" Zell said.

" YOU TURN EVIL SO HELP ME GOD I'LL CHOP YOUR HEAD OFF AND THROW IT IN YOUR FACE!" Tidus said tossing Fira over the edge into a water fountain. Fira rose his head out of the water spitting out water like a fountain.

"Wonder what that was all about?" Fira said standing up and wagging the water off like a dog.

Their last stop was Millie's room the both of them bammed on the door.

"MILLIE" They said in unison. When the door slightly cracked open they pushed the door open to see Millie standing there in her swordsman gauntlet.

" You're here to borrow my homework again?" Millie sighed while looking down at the floor.

" No we just want to tell you" Zell started.

" That we'll always be your friends so you can come to us first about anything okay and" Tidus said as they hugged her at the same time. " Please don't find yourself giving up on life… you have so much to offer to the world"

O.O " Seriously?" Millie said as she got teary.

" Seriously" Zell said.

" Thank you both" Millie said returning their hug.

" Aww isn't that cute" Irvine said walking in.

" YOU!" Zell said.

" Let's kick his ass Zell for what he did to Millie…well for what he's gonna do!" Tidus said jumping on Irvine.

"What hey!" Irvine said as they both started to beat Irvine up.

:Later that night:

Tidus knocked on Yuna's door holding chocolates and flowers. Yuna opened the door and Tidus handed her the stuff.

"Tidus? You shouldn't have" Yuna blushed looking down.

" Yuna I want you to know that I will never leave you, I won't go anywhere I'll always be here for you" Tidus said pressing his lips against hers kissing her passionately.
