I do not own Final Fantasy 7 or Final Fantasy 10

Okay folks I apparently have gained a few people who have no idea how Final Fantasy 10 played out. So from here on in, consider the story one BIG SPOILER.

Heh... it is not often I answer reviews but feels like I should.

ShinigamiChild...- I thank you for the fact that you at least understand. First time ever in the game genre this story is. But considering I played Final Fantasy 10 and 10-2 and got the perfect endings on both. (Trema is a royal pain in the A** by the way in Bevelle) And although it's been a long time since I played Final Fantasy 7 (copy went to hell *whimpers) I thought that I could do it.

Nxkris...- They will find out when they find out. No offense, but please don't suggest how I should write my story as you have been. I reallllyy don't like it, because it sounds like you are trying to tell me how to write it.

And I really hate that.

Chapter 17

Djose Temple 2

As Yuna rested, the others were thoughtful. Cloud and Vincent both were looking at one another thoughtfully. Their eyes skimming over the balls of pure power given to them by the Aeons, the two men sighed.

"One more and we will have another one out on the field won't we?" The older blonde said as he looked at what they had.

"I believe so...but I would do it though only when we need to. As it is right now having Yuna as the only one has kept things peaceful." Vincent said simply. The black haired man studying the materia that Cloud had kept over the years as well as those recently obtained from the Aeons.

"I agree." Cloud stated. "You've sensed our follower haven't you?"

"Hn.. It's one of those Guado's..."

"One of Seymour's more then likely, we will have to be extra careful then. You got a control on him?"

Nodding his head, Vincent became more thoughtful as he spoke. "Auron knows more then he lets on."

"I know."

"Why have you not asked him then?"

"Because I trust him... And somehow I don't think it has anything to do with you or me personally. But them..." The former SOLDIER replied as he gestured to the slumbering Yuna and the talkative Tidus. The latter chatting with Wakka, the two were apparently having a discussion on Blitzball much to the annoyance of Lulu beside them both.

"Yuna and Tidus."

"Yes. He made a promise to both of their fathers. Braska was the summoner before his daughter, and Jecht was apparently his guardian as Tidus is to Yuna."

Thoughtful and quiet, the black haired man took in this new information with calmness. Sifting through the information, he turns to Cloud as theories start to make a little sense. The question he had asked Auron concerning the Final Aeon and the answer that the said being was dead. Sin coming back constantly... "I believe I understand what he is doing now."

"You figured it out?"

"Hn...I believe so. But I need more proof, before I am sure." Vincent responded. "If what I am thinking is right, we will run into Tidus's father eventually. And we will have to fight him."

"How so?"

"Because Jecht is Sin." Auron responded simply. Known to disappear for a few hours every now and then to think and to contemplate their next move. The older looking man had arrived in time to hear their conversation.

And to smile as he knew that these men coming with then and helping him to guard his two charges was not a mistake. They may be perhaps his biggest supporters in protecting both Tidus and Yuna.

"I thought so." Vincent said quietly. "The question though is how."

The former monk chuckling, he looked at both men a few moments later with a quiet and yet solemn expression. Revealing his true status to them both, he spoke to them of what happened when he, Braska, and Jecht were in Zanarkand. About the events that led to his decision to remain and to finish what his two friends long ago had started.

Both men listening intently, that when the man was done, both were quiet as he waited for their response.

"So...everything truly depends on them." Cloud stated simply. "If what you are saying is true. Then it all comes down to Tidus and Yuna."

Nodding his head, Auron looked towards the Moonflow which was to be their next stop before Guadosalam. "Yes. Jecht stated before he went with Braska that he would have it figured out somehow. Braska as well. It wasn't so much the words, but more like he agreed with Jecht on what to do. On what needed to be done afterwards. It's why they made me promise what I did."

"To bring Tidus and Yuna together....and put a stop to all of it."

The man giving them a hint of a smile he nodded his head. "Jecht remained as strong as he could, against the full change. When he knew he was beginning to loose the battle, he knew it was time to bring Tidus here. Considering Yuna was already in Besaid growing up with Kimahri...it made sense."

"And considering she was training to be a summoner, to follow in her father's footsteps..." Cloud interrupted as he finished the comment. "He knew them well then...his son and Yuna."

"No...not really." Auron replied. "THe day he 'disappeared' and Braska died was when they were both quite young. And before then, Jecht despite loving Tidus with all his heart was well on his way to alienating him as well."

"Then why bring him here." Vincent asked simply.

"Because during our journey to Zanarkand, his, mine, and Braska's, Jecht started to change...."

Before anything else was said the three watched as with soft little mumbles. Yuna began to stir and awaken. "It will be time to go soon...next is the Moonflow and then Guadosalam, and you can be sure, Seymour will be waiting."
