Umi lead Seymour to a place few had seen before they had been in the Farplane twenty-five years. It looked much like a beach, the water lapping at the sand softly.

"Memoria Bellus..." she said quietly. Seymour looked confused as she wiped her hand over the sand and smoothed out a space big enough to stand in. she gently pushed Seymour next to the area she had smoothed down and pulled him to kneeling, to place his hand just on the outside of it. She sat the same way and reached into her pocket and threw something dust-like across the surface. A moment later she mumbled something as the dust-like substance settled and revealed a series of memories to him.

Flashback

a young half-Guado child with hair as red as blood, stood shivering in front of a Maester and a Guado woman as a multitude of soldiers grabbed the Maester and the Guado and shoved them into a room, while one soldier grabbed the small half-Guado child and dragged her away from her home.

The image shimmered to show the next memory

a Teen aged half-Guado stared at the male summoner with vehemence as an elderly Guado man was smiling graciously, bowing to the summoner, "Lord Jimka! I would be honored to give you our young Umi here as your guardian and future wife!" The Half-Guado, now identified as Umi, grumbled her dislike.

"Not like I have a choice in the matter," was distinctly heard, despite the graciously bowing elder and the summoner's loud voices.

Then another shimmer. The showing of memories and shimmers between them went fairly quickly as she was only showing short snatches of them, until...

"Choose who is to be your final summoning Lord Jimka," Yunalesca said quietly.

"I choose Umi," Jimka replied as the other guardians blinked in confusion.

"Why the faithless one Lord Jimka?"

"She is the best guardian that I have. I want her to see the power of Yevon."

"Then come both you and Umi. We shall begin" Umi hung her head and stayed put.

"I don't want to be the final summoning," she said quietly and was grabbed roughly by Jimka and shoved towards where Yunalesca was waiting.

"You will go! I have chosen you!"

"No! Jimka! I don't want to be the final summoning!" Jimka dragged Umi into the chamber forcefully.

"Now child of Guado and man, the time has come to become your anger, your hate, your love, your fear."

"I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS!" the girl screamed from where she was being held by Jimka.

"YOU WILL!" Jimka yelled in the girl's face. Yunalesca then began chanting in a foreign language to them as Umi's body now was unable to move as it twisted and contorted in ways that no body ever could. Umi's cries could be heard as she grew, formed, twisted and contorted. Demonic wings sprouted from her back, her hair bled of all color and spiked up into what looked like a sharp set of white spines pony-tailing from her head, her hands formed into claws and her sword clanged to the ground as her clothing stretched and ripped, belts snapped, items fell and shattered or rolled away, her side pouch fell from her and the metallic ring of Gil and metal things echoed all around. Her nose and mouth elongated into a snout that looked wolf-like in proportions, fangs appeared in the place of teeth, eyes becoming wild in anger, hate, fear, resentment of Jimka, anything that resembled the nice Umi Guado gone as if the wind had pulled it away. An earsplitting howl rang from the chest as spikes and silvery fur sprouted. She stared down at Jimka who now, she noticed, was praying. A snarl escaped her before she became submissive. Moments later she was back to the form of before minus the red hair.

"I hate you Jimka," she panted out.

A final shimmer and the battle with Omega weapon appeared.

Umi stood with her eyes closed as the guardians and Jimka fought with Omega. The immense creature roared in pain as Shale pushed his spiked fist into its' hide. Umi opened her eyes and stared from beneath her white hair. Soon her summoners guardians began to fall out of sheer fatigue.

"Umi!" Jimka fell back and Umi brought her sword from behind her and began to engage the monster before her.

"What? Another pathetic one of your group summoner? I will take this one down like I did the last!" Umi just smirked. Then she slashed the creature and it roared.

"Do not ever underestimate your enemy. It will be your downfall." the battle then began afresh and with each hit Umi took she grew bigger, nastier looking, and more powerful, until one rake of a clawed hand drove the weapon into the ground.

End Flashback

Umi stood and spoke, "These are memories I shared with no one before you. It is imperative that you never tell anyone of what you saw here today." she then stood and walked off. Seymour pondered a moment before walking from the beachy area as well.
