Last Chapter Summary. We find that Cloud and Tidus are the other companions of Light. Cloud finds Tifa and figures out that the walls that keeps worlds intact begin to callapse. Yuna doesn't remember Leo and Lightning, making it less likely to them that she is a companion.

In this chapter, Leo, Lightning, Cloud, and Tidus, meet the fifth companion, and also find friends that fell through the walls of World B.

*Leo and Lightning appear in the Elven Snowlands.*

That was quite a fight. The Manikins get stronger by the second. But that doesn't make sense. If our world is collapsing, the Manikins' memory dependency should make them weaker? What's even more strange… Yuna.

Leo: Yuna. Don't you remember us?

Lightning: Yes! Yuna, we fought together. We have met here before.

Tidus: Yuna isn't supposed to be here.

Lightning: What? Then how…?

Yuna: Tidus?

What is Tidus trying to say?

Tidus: I know very well that we're suppose to know each other. See, Shinryu spoke to me, too. So I remember you guys. Yuna didn't come here the same way.

Yuna: What are you talking about Tidus?

Tidus: Lightning. Warrior…

Leo: Actually, it's Leo now.

Tidus: Oh… Really? Well… Leo. I'm pretty sure the three of us came here the same. We woke up on the floor. We didn't know what happened apart from knowledge of our own world. And then Shinryu came, opened our minds, and then we remembered everything. Yuna arrived a different way. She fell through the walls of our world into this world.

Yuna: Tidus, so I should know, um, Lightning? And… Leo?

Tidus: That's right. Don't worry, there is nothing to…

*Fire hits*

Tidus: What the…

Terra: Why are you here?

Leo: Terra?

Yuna: Tidus? Who's that?

Tidus: Terra Branford. She was also one of us, but something isn't right here.

Terra: I said why are you here! Who the hell are you!

*Terra charges some magick*

Squall: Terra! Don't!

*Squall shoots at the charging energy, negating its power*

Lightning: Squall! When did you…?

Squall: No time!

*Creatues appear all around: Odin, Leviathan, Bahamut, Phoenix, and Alexander. Terra turns into an esper. Terra's anger cannot be calmed*

Squall: Get ready guys! Wait… someone else is…

*From the Teleportation Stone emerged Cloud and Tifa*

Cloud: Woah. Tifa, I'm afraid my explanation is gonna have to wait.

Leo: Cloud! Tifa!

Cloud: Warrior!

Leo: Okay everyone listen! Tifa and Yuna go for Terra but don't hurt her unless ABSOLUTELY necessary! The rest target an esper!

*Tifa looks at Cloud puzzled. Yuna looks to Tidus for an explanation. Both Tidus and Cloud say*

"It's going to be alright."

*Battle ensues*

Leo leaps straight at Alexander, tossing fireballs. Cloud jumps straight for Bahamut, preparing to take a strike, as Tidus jumps on Leviathan, grabbing its tail.

Squall quickly dispatches of Phoenix with numerous shots, a strong shot of energy straight to the head, and then a slash that pierced its heart. Phoenix falls screaming in agony and eventually disappears. Squall gets hold of a Phoenix Feather before it disintegrates completely.

Tidus jumps at Leviathan's head and starts cutting in spirals. Leviathan then douses Tidus, launching him high in the air.

Lightning runs towards Odin, but instead of directly hitting him, she somersaults over him and dodges all of his attacks. As she watches Odin's movement, she is able to move at the right time, countering all of Odin's attacks.

Tifa and Yuna exchange looks before running toward Terra. Terra conjures meteors to fire on Tifa and Yuna. Tifa quickly dodges them, but she sees Yuna is almost at a meteorite's impact. A crash is heard as Ifrit emerges from in front Yuna and destroys the meteor.

As Tidus flies in the air, Squall catches him and uses the flat of his blade to propel Tidus towards Leviathan. As Tidus races towards the Esper, he throws his sword straight at the forehead of Leviathan. And then he lands on the sword's hilt, thrusting it deeper in the head, and then somersaulting and kicking the sword through, killing Leviathan.

As Cloud braves all of Bahamut's attacks, Leo runs his sword through Alexander's grooves. Leo then deepens his slashes and creates weak points in Alexander's body. With a somersault and a conjuring of burning swords straight into the Esper's body, Alexander disintegrates.

Tifa makes numerous bunches to Terra's body and face while Yuna summons Shiva to drop ice shards. Terra, unflinching, conjures whirlpools, launching Tifa, Yuna, and Shiva into the air.

Lightning continues dodging all of Odin's attacks when Odin raises his arm to get Gungnir. Lightning then takes this chance to slash upwards at Odin's arm. While Odin flinches, Lightning jumps of Odin's head and uses Odin's own sword attack against him. She slashes her blade around her and Odin is beheaded. She then slashes downward, bringing a bolt of lightning down on Odin and making him disappear.

Cloud proceeds to reach Bahamut when it flies high above the ground and starts charging his mouth with power of the sun's flare. Cloud lands staring straight at the ball of flame coming down on him. He will not give up, so he tries to jump up again, but this time with Lightning launching him up in the air. When Cloud reaches the top of his jump, Squall catches Cloud and launches him higher in the air. At a much higher altitude, Tidus then propels himself with the force of a blitzball and kicks Cloud higher in the air. As Cloud faces the flare, Leo jumps as high jump with the force of his fangs and launches Cloud with a beam of light. As he intersects the flare, memory of that flower girl in pink gave him strength. He prepares his sword, jumps on Bahamut's back, and runs his blade through to the tail, killing Bahamut.

When Cloud lands, all the Espers are beaten accept one, Terra herself. The 5 companions race to help Yuna and Tifa. Terra looks exhausted, but then, so do Yuna and Tifa. As they run toward the battle, Lighting and Squall shoot at Terra while Tidus runs ahead kicking a blitzball into Terra's face. Leo and Cloud exchange sword slashes onto Terra's midsection. Terra than retaliates by slashing all around her, launching green crescents toward the 7.

Leo: Cloud how do we handle this? Terra remembers us, but as enemies. She was never this violent, even in the Chaos side, remember?

Cloud: I remember. I don't get it myself…

Fireballs home on our companions.

Lightning: Wait! Leo, remember the Counterfeit Youth with Cloud of Darkenss' memories? Maybe this is what it is, except why would she think of wrong of us?

As our heroes continue fighting…

Tidus: Wait. She moves just like Terra, sounds just like Terra, but acts the complete opposite of Terra? Like… a dead person envying the living. The sending!

Yuna: Right! If I do the sending, Terra's mind may be set straight!

Cloud successfully lands a hit straight into Terra's stomach. Tifa subdues her, and then Yuna starts, sending all bad memories to the Farplane and restoring peace of mind to Terra. Terra falls into Tifa's arms and revert's to her human form

Terra: Tifa? Warrior? … What happened?

*The group exchange stories, why they're here, how they got here, and what's happening to the world*

Terra: So, wait, so I fell through the walls of my world, the world of balance, and landed here? And because of the faulty walls of this world, my memories got scramcled?

Leo: Right, which is why we need to get to the Upper Continent fast. If we don't, more of our comrades could fall here, in fact, some of them are already probably here.

Cloud: Wait, so you're Leo? And the 5 warriors Cid called and Shinryu brought are you, me, Lightning, Squall, and Tidus? Got it. When do we leave.

Leo: Now. Except, it might get to long by foot

Squall: Which is why Cid sent me with this crystal

*Squall takes out from his pocket a crystal the size of a knife*

Squall: This is just like any Teleportation Stone, except, as you can see, its quite small, and you control the destination.

Lightning: The catch?

Squall: It can be used once.

Leo: Let's not waste any time, every one, touch the stone.

*The stone glows and the 8 disappears*

And so the end of the beginning begins.

Next Chapter Summary. Shinryu is almost dead protecting this world when the 5 warriors of light and their 3 companions arrive. Are they too late? The battle is witnessed by a 3rd party trying to contemplate a very important decision of his life.
