A/N: Shade has the power to teleport Jack but has a huge toll to him and a sacrifice needed because of this Jack is stuck in the FF Multiverse for now before he can get out to other universe.
FF10
After garland was sealed the world moved on with the orb being forgotten.
Many empire rised and fall until one of the empire's king gotten the symptom like the kings of old called Madness disease, a illness that eats the host mentality giving power to negative thoughts that push them into insanity.
With it all of them were destroyed leaving only ruins and death that day was named star fall as many of them were advance empires, along with this the hidden darkness continued to gain strength with it the Memeior world begun to change to accommodate the despair and memories of the living and the dead making rise to the now called Zanarkand empire or what it was before.
'Woah, pretty' girl said after finding the orb from the dead remnant of roots, taking it to his village after.
Inside the orb
Garland POV
I was floating in unknown space then a familiar voice answered.
'Boy what a run huh Jack, i was awakened when this happened Hmm, anyway Congratulations in getting some of your powers back, do you still remember all that happened?' Shade said with me nodding.
'Then i will give you some Informations that may or may not happen so just make it a guideline, btw it will be painful for you as it is a big one, good luck!' Shade's voice said while it fades.
Then a unbelievable pain assaulted me along with a shock that made me grit and persevere.
'Oh almost forgot its late but welcome home, your lucky as this is your multiverse but from a distance future after your battle with the warrior of light but you already know that do you?, anyway ill be with you every step of the way in guiding you when you make decision that can change the outline of the story, ill explain while your conscious, the universe your in is the main timeline if you change something here it will make a branch timeline or a what if scenario that is what happened to you, because you change some of the outcome before you were rejected on the branch you were(ff8) then you didn't do much from the previous one(ff9) so it was similar to the original so it continued until this one so if you want to make or jump to another you know what to do, ill be your guide, oh the information i have was from him so you may hate or be confused on why those need to happen so really good luck there, i'm rooting for you!, ill rest for a while as I'm still weak from our jump' Shade.
Outside
While the children were playing they didn't see that the orb was shining like a beacon then after it stopped it begun to fade into motes of light.
'Hmm, his integration is still progressing, now where to put him is it near or far?' Shade said then he took a gil and toss it into the air.
'Heads near tails far' Shade landing in tails.
'Boy, you luck must be used in the previous one, no matter you need to re experience some battles to be proficient here so off you go' shade said tossing a shining orb into the unknown with him fading after.
Ruins
After the orb dropped it glowed with a blinding
Light then garland appeared outcold.
'Hghhgggh' garland said opening his eyes.
Searching for clues he encountered many new enemies and drops along with writings that he memorize as it maybe a clue along with some of his skills and class he have(stranger paradise) unusable, exiting he found endless desert making him walk for many days.
After restoring some of his power the food and sleep was not much needed.
While i walk shade informed me of the background of this timeline with the memories as a guide of events with him here making me not lonely on the journey.
We got out the desert into a forest making the scene acceptable as we are bored in seeing only sand, after entering we got an encounter with monsters and sin that i don't know why i can absorb but shade knowing but now saying something.
'Oh, almost forgot you need to regain the guardians power and summon them so that you can fight the boss sin else you will be stuck in fighting him endlessly' Shade said making me question how many he is not telling me.
After a day of walking we found a village and live there for a while as i wait for when the gang made it here while doing mercenary jobs and gathering some information not covered by the what i have, along with shade showing me how to get some old class and skills forgotten by time adding it to my arsenal(secondary class of old FF game series).
Being bored in waiting i made my way to Luca as i felt that the fate lines are now pointing to it.
Flashback
I awakened to a unique scene of strings floating in the air i grasp one then was hit by a vision or see something from someone's point of view.
'Oh, so you unlocked it huh, so explanation in place , Hmm lets start with how you unlock it remember absorbing a part the crystal before?, well that crystal is the essence of the world, it is what decide the fate of the living or records inside, anyway with your unique ability, the skill was made so you need to be careful as using it doesn't only take something on you but also on those who you tried to change' Shade said with a warning.
With his warning i experimented on it in battle and small things outside it so that i can get a glimpse of effect then called it Fate Reading.
Flashback end
Making my way there some fiends made a run out Fighting my way there, i cross path with two of the main characters of the story making me walk to them then trying to join them in their journey as a mercenary in exchange for information.
'So you pick the hard path huh very like you, did they felt like what you were before or some of the events are similar to your own?' Shade
'Their story just, never mind lets go' I said.
The walk from south end of the high road was long with many monsters with me observing their skills and tactics so that i can see some that i can integrate to my fighting style then rest in a shop there.
The sunset was beautiful making me reminiscent with the two in the background after that they sleep, with me alone outside thinking while watching the moon.
Next day they fight a monster named chocobo eater making me see for the first time the changes of the summoner class defeating it after that we started our journey to djose again.
We arrive in the one called Road of Mushroom rock and it is full of dead end but with many treasures so we made some adventures while in there as we make our way to the command center by order of Maester Seymour's.
Getting entangled in a sin raid because of master Seymour ,with them fighting the sin spawn and me fighting with the moobs when the big boss appeared taking out Huge part of our troops with only me standing as my attribute is the same as them from what shade said so making me search for survivors with tidus the only one i found alive as it retreated after we journey on to djose temple.
Temple of Djose
They entered the temple leaving me outside but with my power i sense what is going inside(fate reading).
While i watched them one of the light glowed brightly then Ramuh appeared.
'Hello old friend time didn't change you much, so what are you doing now?' Ramuh said with a happy tone.
Just helping doing an errand how is the other guardians, i was seal for sometime so i didn't change much just got release a few days ago.
'Some of them retire a long time ago as the their power was exhausted making other of their race take the mantle, what do you need from them may i ask?' Ramuh answered.
'I need some of their powers for what i will do for the sin problem of this time, while i was sealed i studied how it happened making me learn how to do it' i answered back.
'I see with you as the maker maybe the cycle may end this time, i approve but its good to get help from the summoners as they have some power over the them also we are now called aeons as our calendar set into a new cycle' Ramuh said.
'Then wish me luck' i said as he vanished.
After they return we rest for a day then start the journey to the next one the walk into the south bank road of Moonflow was full of encounter so i watch their skills progress and made it into a station where you need to ride a shoopuf to crossover to the other side with a machina battle along with a new party member named rikku along the way and she played a lead role in our journey as he steals items from enemies along with dealing huge damage from his mix skill that combines two items to deal damage to the enemies.
Guadosalam
We made it into the next destination making us rest for the day, i ask Rikku to teach me some of his skills making him happy as he needed someone to be similar to her as sometimes its to hard for her doing it alone, with it i learn customization and mix while i teach her synthesizing from my previous journey making him jump in joy, then the event that welcome(seymour banquet)us is something i need to think for a while if i want to change some events or not so we Rest for that day as we need to go to the farplane where dead soul go to find yuna's father for questions.
As i enter the Farplane i was send into another area with them not knowing, one i was familiar with along with other characters i didn't know.
'So you made it to the secret area' Shade said
'What is this place' I said
'This is where the past heroes gather(FF series MC) and give their blessings in the time of need for someone like them, they will train their successors on their skills, techniques and arts(limitbreak)' Shade.
'Why me though, i am not a hero maybe a little bit of villain but i'm not both' I ask confused.
'Hmm idk but they might know, but your question may not be answered so just enjoy the training it will help you in the long run' Shade said.
I did what he suggested as it will help me on my journey forward, the time here was not the same from the far plane outside as i can train like there is no Tomorrow.
Then the time for parting started as i sense that they are now ready to go back so i said my thanks and joined back with the party with a event happening(yuna sending the late lord back).
Our journey to the thunder plains was fruitful as the party got stronger with the high encounter rate there with monsters with me studying how the phenomenon happens we made it into an inn shop where we rest for a while because of rikku's expression.
The second part of our journey was exciting as it was a treasure hunt while dodging lightning strikes with only Rikku panicking and being scared as he run around making me smile.
Yuna announced his willingness to marry maester Seymour after his pilgrimage with some of the members confused but just silently accepted making our journey silent and awkward.
Macalania temple
After a fight we made it to the temple where followed Yuna and Seymour as they gone inside, not before finding out the event that Seymour might be an enemy.
The fight was close call but they defeated him, as the Guado took the body i followed them as i sense that anima can be used by me from shades information, done with what needed to be done i made my way back to the party with the scene of Guado breaking the sphere and branding them a traitor.
So i made a decision of staying back to hold them off but some still gotten past me but i know they can take care of it.
They were fast i give them that but their attack was useless to me, so i defeated them all with the elder running away while i fought them with nothing more to do i made my way to the party.
I saw them fall below the ice after their battle, planning my way down an event unfold infront of me as the sin tried to separate them so i quickly protect Yuna as she cannot fight with only herself as she was far because of that we were send away into another area.
Sanubia desert
Both of us wake up in a desert, so doing what a group do we tried to find our missing members, with some battle along the way finding no or or any clue so we just wander and were seen by some Al bhed who was the brother of Rikku so he help us go inside their city to wait for the others as they will be going here with Rikku.
Resting for a few hours an attack happened, unprepared some people became casualties, so I made my way into the Frontline while Yuna help the injured to get to safety.
After helping them i found her outside watching the stars then ask him what he is thinking with a serious face making her spill all his frustration, envy and sorrow hugging him after as he started to cry fainting after.
Awakened she thank me then get back inside to help any who is still injured that fled with us leaving me outside.
'So this is what they felt like when i was the only one to take the burden' i said reminiscing the past that will never come again, sighing i close my eyes and rest while standing as the wind blow was soothing.
Then a explosion happened where the city of Al bhed was making me and the other see it with some of them crying then sing the song that was familiar to Yuna making him sing also.
The song made my climbing rage go into control level that i will use in the final battle and walk back inside the ruins but as i walk inside some of them were on the floor.
Rushing in i saw the Guado taking Yuna to their ship getting away with it my rage continued to climb but was stopped by shade.
'Hold your horses pal if you continue this, the timeline will go into a chaotic state so control your anger as this event must happen but is changed slightly by us' shade.
Controlling my anger my power continued to rise as it was converted, after that i chase after them as i have linked with Yuna Fate String.
Yevon
I made it to the gate making me almost lose control as my power continued to climb making me slowly get out of my control, so i release some of it via destroying those in my way like the gate with it those ordinary citizen inside panicked and me walking to the palace.
Those ninja squad appeared again but i defeated them for good(kill) as they became annoying from their continuous wave that made me got closer with every wave.
Note: the event of the ship where the gang was still happened making the Guado have little powerful monster guards.
My stamina was depleting faster as i tried to control my rage while i fight, then the gang appeared with an airship crashing near the palace make me smile and sit for while as the burden on me slowly got lighter as they intercept them.
Getting back some of my stamina i made haste into the palace crashing the wedding and destroying Seymour's soul from the anger i felt.
With this they rescued Yuna and made way out as i stall for them because of the still remaining rage i have needed to be vent.
Sensing that they gotten back but below me i made my way there by jumping down making me get into the entrance of an underground hybrid facility that has many puzzle that was completed by the gang making me smile as there are no more obstacles.
Joining them as they get out we were ambushed by the enemies but i escape from their eyes using the ninja class i got.
They split Yuna with the group so i proceed to guard her while she was being trialed, sentencing him into the via purifico a dungeon with small chance of getting out making her glad that she is not alone.
We search for an exit encountering monster every split path, but with me tanking and her healing and support it was not hard, finding our first companion lulu.
With every search we found our other companions making us walk forward as their maybe an exit there somewhere making us go into the final trial that guard the exit.
It was a one on one fight of summoner and their eons making me see some of them in action along with knowing who to ask for help with Yuna winning we made our way up into a water way.
The three became our vanguard as they have experience with underwater battle, some of Tidus skill can be linked on mine so i study them adding some tweak and upgrades while they fight ahead.
We confronted a zombified eon that the trio defeated, when it scattered i touch a mote that made me read its memories with it one more person to kill in my list is added, saying my thanks it responded with giving me some of it's powers.
Getting out of the waterway the sunset greeted us, then while celebrating one of the maester appeared with his minions with a twist of Seymour fragment that appeared with him retelling his story of rebirth by parasitism the maester stealing his body.
With my anger almost blowing i made the party run while i destroy him for good by using half my power which might be overkill but if this can make him get send into oblivion then it will be worth it via using some skills and technique i learn from the far plane making the battle easy as he uses status effect that is nulled on me.
After getting out Yuna ask to be alone to think as his faith was crushed by what happened so i made my way there but was beaten by Tidus, so i listen to their conversation because i am near there already to watch the scene unfolds, then we rest for the night and started our journey to Zanarkand.
Calm land
We arrive into a new area and explore it to get more experience as the final battle slowly approaches making us rest in the shop in the middle as they overdid their selves.
Then we gotten two new information one is for Yuna that can strengthen his eons the other was from Yevon branding them traitors.
With Yuna feeling inadequate we made our way to the Hidden temple so that she can train, making it there Yuna started his training, with us cheering for her and training on their own too.
So i ask for something fun there to do with them answering two the monster arena and the chocobo race trying it after.
After a few days we made restarted our primary mission only to be stopped near the bridge by some troops of Yevon making us fight to get through.
Defeating them we are now in a crossroad with the bridge leading to our mission and the one going below, Yuna still not sure if their power is sufficient we made our way down into the resting place of lulu's first summoner getting a new eon in the process, done with our side adventure we made our way into the bridge to continue our journey.
Mt. Gagazet
We made it there with the leader forbidding us but with twist of faith surrender to Yuna's conviction making me question if i will change what will happen, as we made it to the top kimahri was challenged so that he can go over with us, winning we made our way up with higher encounter rate and stronger ones making it a good training field for the guardians and Yuna's training in eon summoning.
We found some sphere of other old summoners along with Yuna's father, when we are near the top Seymour appeared again powerful than before making me angry at how he still lives every encounter we made, so i made a seal that will activate after he is weakened.
As they battle him i got ready for the final blow(sealing), after that we continue forward into the top.
When Tidus touched the wall he blackout so i touch it to investigate then was zapped.
'You cannot intervene there as that is a fated event, so i will say to you some information' Shade said then give the information(event of Tidus finding out his origin).
With it my mission became hard for my plan so i need to quickly change some things resolving myself to change their fate.
Zanarkand
We arrive to our final destination with wisp of memories of the past floating making me reminiscence of similar event that happened in my time with many other memories resurfacing i tried to rest as tomorrow will be my final chance to change my plan.
As we go to near the middle of the ruined stadium memories of the past summoner appeared like warnings for the guardians with me knowing what will happen next.
Fighting monsters and fallen summoner with guardians with some past memory flashbacks from them along with mysteries that was uncovered making us move faster into the middle.
A puzzle awaited us before a battle and a tricky one before the final one making me sigh from headache.
Then the husk of the final eon awaited us with the guard telling the story after that we go to the vessel that can access the final eons power.
I volunteered to be the final eon and shared some of my plan with them making them accept as i said something to Tidus about all the information i know about his old man being sin.
Then Yunalesca becoming an enemy making us fight her that made the party break their limit
In body and soul as it have debuff, instant kill along three stages of transformation but was still defeated with the final hit of mine sealing her.
'Now you have two powerful people sealed what are you gonna do with them?' Shade
'Nothing for now, actually it's three but whose counting' i said
'Right that one ok ill observe for now and tell you what changes happened after this ta ta' Shade said with a wave vanishing after.
We got back to the ship to plan our next move by finding maester Mika to make him tell the story of both side and him saying only a piece of the information that was given by little bahamut to complete it as i listen when he told it.
Then we have completed part of the plan but with it the changes i need for my plan still no done.
'How about usurping the armor via your skills' Shade
'Yeah but i will twist it a little' i said with a smile
Now the final battle will now start by making a hole and getting inside but was stopped by it by blowing some parts of the lands, with it we destroy two of its fin making it land into the city of Yevon along with its transformation.
Defeating it then transformed it into a gate that we made inside to find our real enemy.
Getting in was a maze as the road was invisible with some dead ends and powerful monsters like the behemoth king but we pull it through with a stairs going upward.
We rest for a while then continued going up stairs with a seal greeting us then wait for someone or something to happen with a fragment of Seymour greeted us that combined with Sin.
The battle was hard for the party as his damage was huge for them, but with two healer with their buffs they made it with its defeat the scene changed into a city with a sad atmosphere.
City of dying dreams
We rest again as the feeling of the last battle next is our last, then i told my plan with them happy as their will be a backup plan and made our way into the city that turned out to be a maze.
Battle after battle we made it out then rest before the feeling was stronger at the top.
A big structure fall in front of us with Tidus touching the symbol that absorb him inside so we followed.
Inside we see some orbs and a light spear from the ground popping out randomly making my way to the orbs i gotten an item then yelled to them about the orbs with them picking it.
After picking all of it we were transported into another area with Sir Jecht, walking near him he said his final words and goodbyes transforming into the final eon that became the hardest fight they done till now, but for me it was my greatest fight for this timeline as every clash of our sword in his 2nd form my power continues to rise along with class i have(Sealed ones) being unlocked from its seal state Temporary and sealing him before he dies, defeating him we are now in front of Yu yevon the main enemy making them need to defeat their gained eons so that they can lock him up for good.
'Here is the crossroad you need to make decision of, Goodluck' Shade
Stopping them i made a decision of sealing all of them making Yuna faint as she lost some of the power boost she have, being attack by Tidus from his anger I sealed him too then using my skill Fate Reading i change his target to me making us merge but with me not being an eon overpowering him but the years of resentment eats a big toll in my mental health but my resolve empower me.
Saying my final good bye i use all my skills making a sphere that will shrink to seal me vanishing them outside, they cry for some time but move on for that was my last wish, but they didn't know that i made a message for the eons of the incoming after effects of this battle so they accepted it as they can help for that time then send them across the world
Note: this made Tidus and the Jetcht live for now but sealed but temporary and the eons becoming Materia summons making them all sleep for along time in the sphere as it refine energy outside while they are inside detaching them from where all eons sleeps.
With it the future gotten some hope for the people and the party
A/N: garland will not do much here as he is getting lost in finding the party he sealed so changes may be little in part of X-2 game main story line.
Changes begun with Yuna leading it along with his companions that was the rise of the technology for spira.
Many years later
The seal I made was fading but along with it the assimilation was done long ago and I just want to rest before I begin to play the next episode.
As it disappear i was transported into the ruins of Zanarkand.
Searching for people was hard as I journey far away from the site but found someone in a tent shop, asking him of past informations and telling me all of it.
Structuring it and seeing the changes in the timeline made me sigh as some part was still there, so I tried to find info for the party but some of them retired, so I journey to them for the complete story.
While walking I seen many machina in every road and town that past by making me have a feeling of something bad will happen next so I search for the allies sealed for that battle.
The first I found was sir Jecht that was weakened to 25% of his power and made our way to find Tidus.
Using the skill Fate Reading made the search a little more easy but the annoying part is that it does not tell the specific location making us search in the sacred mountain Gagazet where we meet Kimahri who became a elder and made a banquet for us so we rest for that day before starting our search with me trying to copy the Ronso's skill lancet that is the same from Blue mage so that I can strengthen it.
We found his sphere where we fight the 2nd form of Seymour hidden in the ceiling rock, sensing he is still weak we made him stay inside until he can stay outside by his self.
finding the other eons near their actual site made it easy, being near the villages I say hi to some of our old companions as we are near them like Wakka and Lulu who will have a baby and other we fought along with.
Sensing that they are still weakened we plan on what to do for now shade gave us a suggestion.
'why don't you guys find Yuna as they are now hunting memory sphere' Wakka said but sir Jecht want to travel the world as he didn't get to enjoy it when they were in the pilgrim, accepting it, i shake his hands as for finding him by using my skill so we don't need any communication, waving to me while he get farther and farther.
Alone I made my way into where they were spotted and having to chase them as they are gone when I arrive in the area.
Using synthesis and customization skills I made great sword laser gun by combining some of the old items with the blueprint from shade via the memory he have that have many weapon blueprints courtesy of him so I tried to take it slow and become a mercenary again as they might got the information.
Doing my old job I got an information that the New Yevon are planning something bad from a youth league mouth so I made my way there.
We finally cross path, saying hello Yuna was happy to see an old face then we exchange stories while we go below the old shrine.
Making our way there we fought monsters and some of their soldiers as we go underground.
I forgot Bahamut was near the event area so we fought him before we get to the final enemy who was not there.
.
Making our way back to the ship they planned to become mercenary making me smile as I give them tips on what to do.
Knowing now why the eons were not back to their site because of fiends inside their temples Along with their counter parts the dark eons.
We go to every temple known to see if their are also fiends there that only get stronger along the way so I made a decision of getting a professional opinion from Shinra that give me informations I don't know that shade take note of(dress break classes, monster capture, etc) for our next adventure that I didn't know for now.
In one temple we go an accident which made Yuna more confused making me talk to him about it, giving advice after Paine told a part of his story.
They made a plan on how to calm down everyone in the world via the spheres with Yuna singing and dancing.
Practicing I think for what to change in my plans while I do some missions so that they can practice in peace.
The concert was a success calming the two side along with the wisp that showed the events of the past that touched the hearts of every one with the orbs resonating and absorbing more faster, that became my clue on how to charge them.
Splitting with them on the mission charge it using some of my powers that I regain when I fight making me weakened for a while but worth it if this will wake them up faster.
Being busy with missions we four didn't get sometime to plan things that will happen.
The time to confront the enemy came that we will split to the holes made from the fiends attack making our way to the Far plane that gotten big changes.
We fought all the darkened eons we defeated long ago with anima taking the top, but with it the power inside the orbs can now be activated except for Tidus.
Our journey taken us deep inside the Farplane into the now dimension where the enemy is.
The fight was the 2nd good that happened as my power continued to rise making me give some of it to the orbs that shined more brightly with Tidus catching up because of its transforming forms.
Escaping the body it used after defeat so I trap the Negative side as i know the feeling of that growing without knowing leaving only the good behind to absorb for later while Shade used a skill to copy the Venagun blueprint that was a cost for the items I gotten while we fought it.
After that I made my way out to unseal Tidus, yawning after waking up I told the events that happened so we made it back upward as Tidus want to find his father first before going back to Yuna, so I guide him making me split with them from then on.
Years later
Tidus was now ready to get back to Yuna with us cheering for him and waving good bye.
Memories flooded me from this timeline
That made me fond of it so I journey some more with sir Jecht.
FFX Series End
