"No this isn't right!" Tidus backed away denying the reality in front of him. "No way my old man did this. No way he cared!" The place rattled a little. The piece of Sin that was there started to rage in anger. It pulled back into the darkness. Taking with it, our shot at weakening the current Sin.
"Foosh!" In a flash I was on Tidus. "You stupid idiot!" I had Tidus by the scruff of the neck pushed against the wall. I wanted to kill the idiot. The only reason I didnt, was because of Yuna screaming and the negative mission rewards. "I was so close to getting it under control. We could have saved them!"
"Let him go Azul," Auron said trying to calm me down. He was behind me with his hand on my shoulder. "It might me better this way. Dealing with that thing might have been more trouble than it was worth."
"Tch," I clicked my teeth and dropped him to the ground. "Now we have to fix this. Its now gonna be even harder to stop it."
"It will be fine." Riku said from the side. Her words didnt match her feelings. "I know we can do it."
"I will do it," Tidus said standing up straight. "I will deliver the final blow. I can.."
"Are you that stupid?" I turned and looked at him snarling. "The whole point of this was to make sure Sin was stopped for good. The Sin spawn would be wiped away as well. Not to mention not to make Yuna a widow!"
"Then what are we going to do?" Tidus asked defeated. Yuna came up holding his hand. "Sorry, I should have been able to confront my old man better than that. It just what happened with my mom yah know." He looked at me. I gave him a nod and started walking around.
I knew what we were gonna do. I just didnt want to admit it.
Mileena gave me a look and nodded her head. Next was Hotshot. Despite her wounds, she stood awake. She was healed as best she could with magic and potions. But that last hit was a little to much.
"We are going to take him down." I turned to walk towards the path. I contacted Hotshot and Mileena usuing telepathy. 'I will do the final blow myself. Doing so will expel me from this world making it for I cant come back unless some conditions are met. I would be taking Sin with me as the Final Aeon. It does not belong here as it is. A User caused this and a User will have to end it.'
Galtea: There is no way for you to do so. I have checked. When the last blow is delivered you will have time to say goodbye. That is the best I can do. Tidus will remain here as well as his mother.
'What about Riku?' Hotshot asked.
'Most likely will remain here. This is what she has been fighting for all this time. A happy ending for her cousin and her people safe. I just wished we could have saved more of them. To many background problems happening.'
'I will miss her.' said Mileena. 'Mia will as well. This Yunalesca woman is a lot like Yuna. Very caring, but she has a great hate for Sin despite it being her father's fault it exists. Well, the people of Beville anyway.'
'I know. I will too. Maybe I can pull something out of my ass to solve this. As for her, I wouldn't worry about it. You are stronger than her Mileena. If anything happens let me know.' Mileena gave a nod before looking out. HotShot was in no condition to fight really. "Hotshot stay in the rear providing support. I dont think we will have it easy there."
I felt the Timeshift. Coming to I was in front of Jecht with everyone else. He had Reaper tech in him. He was a giant of a creature. Scales covering his body entirely from head to toe. Long hair like that of a Lion. White from age or magic I couldnt really tell. Weird tentacles from his back that looked like probes of some kind. His eyes had symboly in them. Reaper configuration. They moved about scanning us intently.

This was some bullshit and a half. I was really starting to think I was gyped on my Pather Power. A bunch of System messages came up that I did not understand. Even communication with Galtea was messed with a little.
"So, me, Riku, and Mileena take on Jecht's main body. Kimihari, Wakka, and Hotshot will deal with anything that pops up in the rear. Everyone else will deal with whatever comes out around Jecht." I cast my buffs and got ready. Had Slannesh in my hand and was raring to end this. A few of the sould already powered him up as we moved up.
"Is there any way I can fight him?" Tidus asked me.
"Yeah.. no." I said not paying him any mind. "This stopped being your fight when you screwed it up a bit ago." I felt Riku glare at me. "What is it now?"
"Let him fight with you. In fact Auron as well. Me and Mileena will assist Yuna. Just in case anything happens." Riku said. "I think things will get really weird."
"Alright." She knew more about this than me. My memories were vague for the battle. Plus with the changes, it might not even matter.
"Arrrrro!" Jecht roared. It was one of pain as he looked at Tidus. He swung his clawed hand reached out to strike at Tidus. Or maybe to grab him. "Thud!" It was to smack. He hand hit the ground missing Tidus who jumped away.
I didnt mind as I used Teleport to get behind him in the air. The World was so distorted I didnt need to hide any abilities to fight now. "Your daddy was trying to give you a spanking it seemed." I smiled at Tidus as ran around on Jecht. I was laying a magical sigil on him. "Keep it up. Better he tries to spank you then pay attention to me."
"Oh, whatever!" Tidus yelled back at me. He raised his hand and cast Hastega on himself. Charging up he struck at Jecht's arm. "I am just gonna have to give you a little payback old man!"
"Ching," his sword scratched against the scaled hand. It cut through but didnt leave any blood or anything. He needed more strength to get through that armored hide. A gold light went around him. I looked to see Yuna smiling as she cast some spells on him. Lulu cast a few next on Auron giving him a little more speed.
"Rooo," Jecht swung his other arm at Auron as he ran up. "Bing," Auron placed his sword in front blocking the attack easily. He slid back a little. Before the hand reeled back he swung his sword cutting the fingers off. I watched as the fingers flew in the air and turned into pyreflies. They were purplish-blue in nature. An indingo color. I did not like that. The fingers grew back instantly just mechanical. Reaper tech at its finest there.
System: &%^$%
'Oh, yeah that helps me so freaking much.' Ignoring the stupid thing I couldnt read I continued my work. I slid down his left arm stabbing my sword inside. It cut through easily. I would have done the right, but it was mechanical. I rather not waste time while dealing with his first form still. "Ok this is nuts." When I landed a pagoda arrived. The blasted thing started spinning. "Tch," I jumped away as soon as it fired. It hit Jecht and bounced off into the air.
"Jecht.. you have to stop this. Braska would not want this." Auron said. Jecht turned to him and brought his hand down again. "You idiot fight it!" With a sideswipe the hand was knocked away. Auron flew to the side from the recoil. "You were better than that before. Got weaker in your old age?" Auron taunted Jecht stabbing at the man's pride. I felt Jecht rise to the surface more at that. He was pushing his dominance over the influence of Sin.
"Yeah old man. Letting some stupid creature take you over. How stupid!" Tidus yelled. He swung his sword at the pagoda that came spinning towards him. "Mom would be so disappointed in you!"
"Arrrr!" Jecht grabbed at his head shaking. His legs hitting against the platform from the side. I took the time to teleport in front of him. "Fwoosh!" I put my hand to his chest and sent out my magic to disrupt him. Adding my Pather Power mixed with my Soul Power to push clarity with the help of Mental Cleansing.
"Hah!" I grunted at the abrupt power usage added by Slaneesh and the sigils I placed on him. I connected with something in the inside and reached pulling it out. I was not ready for what came out. It was a woman. I knew her. "What the hell is your mom doing in there?!" I threw her behind me into the air. Somebody would catch her. "Well, why was she in there?" I felt a lot more inside and had to convince Slaneesh not to eat them. I felt a power radiate inside me. It was what the old man gave me working.
"Mom!" Tidus yelled leaving the front lines. I watched as he ran back. Good news Lulu stepped forward taking his place. She started to doublecast waiting for an opportunity.
Jecht pulled away from me. He gave me a very menacing look as he took in a deep breath. "Wooooshh." On instinct I stabbed my sword down keeping in place. Auron lifted into the air as did Lulu.
She did release her spells though. "Double Flare!" Two blasts of intense white magic blasted Jecht on the sides of his chest. He stooped sucking them in. "Ahhh!" Lulu screamed as she fell. I teleported grabbing her in the air. Yuna had summoned Ifrit to help the others fight against the sinspawn. She was letting it fight on its own as she helped us.
"Swoosh," holding onto her I looked for a spot to put her. Next to Mileena was the best bet. "Get ready to be on your feet to cast again." I looked at her. I passed that everything was going to be ok to her with my Pather Power. She nodded. "Swoosh," I placed her down and turned to Jecht.
Auron landed on his feet thinks to Mileena and Riku casting a wind spell to help him land. "Tap," as soon as his feet touched the ground he moved to swing at Jecht's torso. "Creen!" He cut deep on that hit. His sword glowed blue for a moment as he used Armor Break. The area that he landed turned back into flesh. No Reaper upgrades anymore.
"Woom woom," a pagoda appeared near him. I ran to get at it but was stooped by a trace of nausea. I had to focus and push against to stay in the fight. "Mental cleansing!" My spell hit everyone making them think a little clearer. I stabbed against Jecht and felt a stronger connection with my Sigil's I placed. They were spreading with more of the magic I pushed out.
"Dammit, Tidus get back in the fight!" I yelled behind seeing him still fuss over his mom. "Boi! If you dont I will come over there and kill her damn it!" He reacted to that. So did Jecht. I felt his soul grow stronger as he fought for control. However, he was also angry now.
"Ugh," Auron groaned as the other pagoda spun and fired at him. He was instantly turned to stone.
"Auron!" Yuna yelled. She started to cast another spell but Riku beat her to it.
"I got it. Do not waste your magic." Riku threw a bag with powder at Auron. It burst opened and he was free instantly. "I will things like that. Keep everyone healed." Riku then threw a grenade at the Pagoda. A sticky substance trapping the Pagoda. She then turned to the other one.
"Got it!" Yuna said with a cheer. Energy washed over all of us instantly. I felt calmer for one. She changed what spell she was casting and waited. Mileena charged at the stuck pagoda. She stabbed her sai's inside and kicked off it towards the other one. With the help of her wind magic she sailed through the air. Just in time as Riku had finally gotten it stuck. Mileena's dagger's had a weird glow to them. With a thought, I remember what it was from. They absorbed magic and casted silence on a target for a bit. They also healed the wielder.
"We have incoming!" Hotshot yelled. A few more sin spawn had entered the area. They had a fight on their hands back there now. "Send someone else to help back here!"
"Screw it! Anima get to work!" I felt the Aeon come down instantly. I didnt put a lot of magic into it. She appeared way different than her full form. A woman with ghastly pale face close to a specter. She was dressed in black with chains hanging behind her. She charged over killing the sin spawn with the intensity of a rabid dog. "Yeah... that is gonna have to do for now."
Jecht came at me with a raised slap. I felt the magic gathered around as the claws seated up. Strange currents of electrical magic appeared around his backside. It then travelled up his hand and down to his raised arm.
"Bzzt, bzzt," I watched as the magic tore through the world's reality.
"Oh crap.." I redirected and used Biotic Shielding. Just in time as I felt my self become frozen. The hand came down and smashed through my shield sending me through the platform.
"Boom!" I jumped out of the hole as fast as I could. Yuna used Curaga on me restoring my health. Something inside me broke loose from that hit.
"Arrooo!" I howled loud enough to disrupt the entire battlefield. It shattered both Pagodas and Anima unsummoned along with Ifrit. "Grrr," I was in my laguz form as a full wolf transformation. My magic was bursting as Slaneesh did not like the hit I received earlier and overfed me. I charged at Jecht and bit his arm.
"That is a really big wolf," I heard Kimihari say.
"Wham!" He struck my side as I bit deeper into him. I was sending my magic directly into his flesh as I did so. "Swoosh," He swung his arm in the air throwing me off. His pagodas started to reform as he did so. As I was in the air I just teleported to get behind him. I land right on his back as I bit into his neck.
"Schlik," I ripped out part of his flesh. Along with a mechanical attachment. I felt whatever the old man gave me working on getting rid of the Reaper tech. It disintegrated instantly when I removed it. Jecht rolled us back as we fell from the side of the building. "Scrrhh," he slid down on his side. I jumped off and ran down the side of the building. Whenever I would slip I used teleport to get right back where I needed to be.
"Concussive Shot!" Hoping the fired blast from my mouth would send him away from the building. "Boom!" I watched a part of his tendrils disappear as they went back inside to heal him. "Teleport!" I appeared above him as I pulled the water from the area. "Posiden Destroyer!" The powered sphere gathered instantly as I felt the world actually help me fight him. The others could see the attack from where they were. Thats how big I made it. I turned back to my human form to continue.
Launching it at him, I watched as he was blasted into the water. He was getting pushed further down as the attack fed on the water. I could feel the power of the world leaving me. The Reaper tech was getting burned up from inside him. The world was stabilizing again. Running over I reached in and activated the sigils I placed on his back and pulled out Jecht from the front. That is when everything decided to work again.
System: Free the souls of those trapped inside. Rewards: ???
Galtea: Be careful the world is correcting at an alarming rate.
I saw the pagodas gathering around Jecht. They were trying to take him back. "Mental Cleansing!" Soon as it hit him, the pagodas stopped spinning and switched rotation. Light gathered around JEcht and gained some clothes. I had to teleport to get back with the last of the World's strength.
"Fwoosh," As I arrived I looked at the others. Tidus was with his mom who stood unsteady. He was as useless as could be in this fight now. Riku must have felt my anger as she came over to me. She looked at Jecht for a second and shrugged.
"Easy now. I take it .. Sin is still alive?" She reached out and touched my face in worry. I gave her a nod.
"Yup and he is coming back with his full strength most likely so get ready," I said to her. Her face was not happy. I looked over to Mileena. Who was over supporting Hotshot now. "Great, to much to ask for a heal Yuna?"
"Ah, right." Yuna cast regen on me. Then she used it on the rest of the party. "Ha.. this is about the last of it. I still have a few Aeons I can summon though."
"Good, we are going to need them soon." I turned to see Jecht coming to. He looked at his wife and son then to me and nodded. Standing up, pyrflies gathered and he had his sword at the ready. A hulking piece of metal close to Auron's but somewhat shaped like an anchor.
Sin was back and had wings made from scales. "Damn it, man, just give up already!" I fired a Concussive Shot at it. Blasting a part of the arm off. Reaching over with my biotics I pulled the energy in. "Ugh, so much." The creature had the biotic strands of some people wrapped into one at the forefront. It was nauseating. "It is going to be to hard separating that shit!"
System: Athletics Check 31 Pass
"Get ready!" I yelled. Me Jecht and Auron were at the forefront. The pressure from its wings pushed everyone else away. As soon as it lands against the platform, I activated Adrenaline Rush and Mist Fist as well. I felt the water surround me instantly. Something else was helping me now. Then I realized it was my Aeons inside me.
Auron went left. Using his SpeedBreak on his sword. THe green energy was way intenser than I could remember. Jecht went to the right as his sword glowed white. I had no idea what he was using.
System: Athletics Check 33 Pass
Sin had a deformed version of Jecht's sword. It was made of scales and building rubble. It swung the blade sideways in a sweep at us. Auron slid underneath scratching the sword and Sin's arm with his own. I jumped on top and ran along the blade's length. When the sweep came to Jecht he just turned and brought that sword of his down.
"Jump!" Jecht yelled at me. I did so and went right towards Sin's face. "Raggh!" I heard him yell as his sword came down breaking Sin's sword to pieces. "Heh. Stupid imitation." He turned and was already coming back towards Sin.
I landed on Sin's chest and drove my Slaneesh inside. As the blade went deeper into Sin I already knew we couldnt beat it in a fight. It was stronger than us, and we were injured and low on magic. I called the Aeon that was fromed between me and Riku for help. I had no idea what it could do, but it did something. It went to work depowering Sin as best it could. Pushing my Mental cleansing onto Sin, I tried to help. The others fought the new Sin spawn that kept appearing. Auron and Jecht kept the arms busy as I just held on for dear life.
'Dammit, its not enough. Galtea I need more power.' I called out to her.
Galtea: If you use anymore you won't survive.
'Will it be enough to end this?'
Galtea: Yes but the penalty..
'Screw the penalty. I need them to live. We put to much work into this. Do it now.' As soon as I said that my magic kicked up a notch. Up above me a summon appeared. I couldnt make it out as chains went out grabbing at SIn. It started keeping him in place as Yuna summoned Valefor. It came in providing air support.
The magic the old man placed in me came out. It immediately went on the offensive attacking again and again with everything it had. In a matter of moments, it was over. Each blast of magic pulled Sin apart. The broken pieces went into me. Sin was nothing but a weird blob of misery when it was done. I saw the old man inside it. Gripped in pain and anguish. I felt the power move around and work with my Pather power. I gave it full access of my power before it was to late.
A giant chasm of light formed. I dont know why, but on instinct, I reached my hand out and pulled something free. A renegade option appeared over it. Not even paying attention to it, I crushed it in my hand.
Apparently that was the right move to do. Out walked a bunch of people. I mean a lot of people. Sin poured into me. The turned pyreflies became a part of me. As my Psycho/Soul Power devoured it along with Slaanesh. My Overlord Power was keeping my sense of self there. I could have lost my self in all the emotions it carried over the centuries.
System: You have freed the souls of those killed by Sin.
Rewards: Calculating...
Cerebus Node: You have done a great service to humanity.. calculating rewards..
Galtea: I cant believe you just did that. What you crushed could have given you an overwhelming amount of power in this world.
'Yeah well... it felt wrong in my hands.' I said tiredly. I could already feel myself breaking apart. I looked to the left and saw Hotshot disappear in light. The strangest thing happened. The light left and the Ronso was still there. It smiled at me but I could tell it was only a portion of her inside.
I looked to Mileena next. She was engulfed in light and nothing remained left. Next was Auron who disappeared completely as well.
Riku then yelled at me. "What the hell is going on?"
"Sorry but this was the best option." I smiled sadly at her. She ran up to me and gave me a hug.

"No no no. Stop stay. I wanna show you so many places. You havent toured the Al Bhed capital yet! We have to rebuild it! You can help with that!" Riku felt so sad it would have threatened to overload my senses if I was completely here. "Stop! Do whatever you have to stay!"
Nothing I could do so I just gave her a kiss. Transferring my feelings for her the light engulfed me completely. I saw it touch Tidus but all it did was change his clothes. We shared a look as he mouthed a thank you to me. I flipped Wakka off just for shits and giggles. Jecht looked pained by my leaving. He wanted to say something but there was no time.
Arriving back in my Nether World. I was on the porch again. Galtea had my head in her lap staring at me. She wanted to say something but didnt in the end. She had been crying for some reason. I felt somewhat empty. Something terrible was coming. Something I wouldn't be able to beat. I remained like that for god knows how long. I then fell asleep after checking that everyone made it. Well everyone except Riku. When I awoke next I was in my quarters on my ship.
"Ughh. I dont even want to see the penalties..." As I looked over I saw Mileena sleeping holding onto my arm. I saw a body behind her. Sitting up straight immediately I saw that it was Hotshot. Paying attention to them both, I realized they had their clothes still on. Touching myself I was dressed in boxers and I didn't feel like I just had sex. "What is going on?"
"Mmhm, be quiet. Trying to sleep." A voice grumbled next to me. I turned over, seeing Riku.
"Riku what are you doing here?!" I yelled forgetting that people were sleeping. "Not that I am complaining." I corrected myself not wanting to be that dick.
Stretching like she was a cat, she stared at me. "What do you mean what am I doing here? I am here to stay you, idiot. Now be quiet for I can go to sleep." Just like that she turned over and went back to sleep.
'Galtea.. what is going on here?'
Galtea: Riku has bonded to you. The item you crushed was the World orb. It sent the world on a path to a new future. With Riku staying there I was able to communicate with her. After informing her of what was going to happen she made a decision to come back here. Using only a few points a copy of her remained behind while the primary returned with you. The other her has the power. She is the owner of that World now. Right now it is inaccessible The System is protecting it. As the owner is allowed to change some things. With her being a companion she can earn points with yourself to make her place better.
I looked down at Riku who was out like a light. Then I felt her tail wrap around my leg. She smiled as she slept.
'Ok, so what is HotShot doing in my bed?'
Galtea: When Riku arrived she ran straight to your room to check on you. Seeing you still asleep she and Mileena started talking. When she informed Hotshot Riku was back she arrived. The trio talked all night till they were tired. Using a small amount of points I changed the clothes and cleaned them up.
'Well, thanks.' I tried getting up but Riku's tail pulled me back harder. So I just laid back and relaxed. 'So Galtea tell me everything that is now happening.'
Galtea: It is time for you to do that last bit with Vermine and the Reaper's. How are you feeling?
'My memory is still messy. Time is not as bad here as it was there. Care to tell me whats going on?'
Galtea: I rather not. You are safer that way. I think you will hate me for it. I am doing everything I can to stop it. I am not running away from him anymore. Also the last pull you manged was put in the Nether World prison. He arrived confused during the tampering from the enemy. We placed him inside for his safety. Right now he is going through a clean up so to speak.
'That is just great.' I leaned back to go back to sleep. What the old man told me still ringing in my head. It was not over between me and the User who could mess with time.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"No this isn't right!" Tidus backed away denying the reality in front of him. "No way my old man did this. No way he cared!" The place rattled a little. The piece of Sin that was there started to rage in anger. It pulled back into the darkness. Taking with it, our shot at weakening the current Sin.
"Foosh!" In a flash I was on Tidus. "You stupid idiot!" I had Tidus by the scruff of the neck pushed against the wall. I wanted to kill the idiot. The only reason I didnt, was because of Yuna screaming and the negative mission rewards. "I was so close to getting it under control. We could have saved them!"
"Let him go Azul," Auron said trying to calm me down. He was behind me with his hand on my shoulder. "It might me better this way. Dealing with that thing might have been more trouble than it was worth."
"Tch," I clicked my teeth and dropped him to the ground. "Now we have to fix this. Its now gonna be even harder to stop it."
"It will be fine." Riku said from the side. Her words didnt match her feelings. "I know we can do it."
"I will do it," Tidus said standing up straight. "I will deliver the final blow. I can.."
"Are you that stupid?" I turned and looked at him snarling. "The whole point of this was to make sure Sin was stopped for good. The Sin spawn would be wiped away as well. Not to mention not to make Yuna a widow!"
"Then what are we going to do?" Tidus asked defeated. Yuna came up holding his hand. "Sorry, I should have been able to confront my old man better than that. It just what happened with my mom yah know." He looked at me. I gave him a nod and started walking around.
I knew what we were gonna do. I just didnt want to admit it.
Mileena gave me a look and nodded her head. Next was Hotshot. Despite her wounds, she stood awake. She was healed as best she could with magic and potions. But that last hit was a little to much.
"We are going to take him down." I turned to walk towards the path. I contacted Hotshot and Mileena usuing telepathy. 'I will do the final blow myself. Doing so will expel me from this world making it for I cant come back unless some conditions are met. I would be taking Sin with me as the Final Aeon. It does not belong here as it is. A User caused this and a User will have to end it.'
Galtea: There is no way for you to do so. I have checked. When the last blow is delivered you will have time to say goodbye. That is the best I can do. Tidus will remain here as well as his mother.
'What about Riku?' Hotshot asked.
'Most likely will remain here. This is what she has been fighting for all this time. A happy ending for her cousin and her people safe. I just wished we could have saved more of them. To many background problems happening.'
'I will miss her.' said Mileena. 'Mia will as well. This Yunalesca woman is a lot like Yuna. Very caring, but she has a great hate for Sin despite it being her father's fault it exists. Well, the people of Beville anyway.'
'I know. I will too. Maybe I can pull something out of my ass to solve this. As for her, I wouldn't worry about it. You are stronger than her Mileena. If anything happens let me know.' Mileena gave a nod before looking out. HotShot was in no condition to fight really. "Hotshot stay in the rear providing support. I dont think we will have it easy there."
I felt the Timeshift. Coming to I was in front of Jecht with everyone else. He had Reaper tech in him. He was a giant of a creature. Scales covering his body entirely from head to toe. Long hair like that of a Lion. White from age or magic I couldnt really tell. Weird tentacles from his back that looked like probes of some kind. His eyes had symboly in them. Reaper configuration. They moved about scanning us intently.

This was some bullshit and a half. I was really starting to think I was gyped on my Pather Power. A bunch of System messages came up that I did not understand. Even communication with Galtea was messed with a little.
"So, me, Riku, and Mileena take on Jecht's main body. Kimihari, Wakka, and Hotshot will deal with anything that pops up in the rear. Everyone else will deal with whatever comes out around Jecht." I cast my buffs and got ready. Had Slannesh in my hand and was raring to end this. A few of the sould already powered him up as we moved up.
"Is there any way I can fight him?" Tidus asked me.
"Yeah.. no." I said not paying him any mind. "This stopped being your fight when you screwed it up a bit ago." I felt Riku glare at me. "What is it now?"
"Let him fight with you. In fact Auron as well. Me and Mileena will assist Yuna. Just in case anything happens." Riku said. "I think things will get really weird."
"Alright." She knew more about this than me. My memories were vague for the battle. Plus with the changes, it might not even matter.
"Arrrrro!" Jecht roared. It was one of pain as he looked at Tidus. He swung his clawed hand reached out to strike at Tidus. Or maybe to grab him. "Thud!" It was to smack. He hand hit the ground missing Tidus who jumped away.
I didnt mind as I used Teleport to get behind him in the air. The World was so distorted I didnt need to hide any abilities to fight now. "Your daddy was trying to give you a spanking it seemed." I smiled at Tidus as ran around on Jecht. I was laying a magical sigil on him. "Keep it up. Better he tries to spank you then pay attention to me."
"Oh, whatever!" Tidus yelled back at me. He raised his hand and cast Hastega on himself. Charging up he struck at Jecht's arm. "I am just gonna have to give you a little payback old man!"
"Ching," his sword scratched against the scaled hand. It cut through but didnt leave any blood or anything. He needed more strength to get through that armored hide. A gold light went around him. I looked to see Yuna smiling as she cast some spells on him. Lulu cast a few next on Auron giving him a little more speed.
"Rooo," Jecht swung his other arm at Auron as he ran up. "Bing," Auron placed his sword in front blocking the attack easily. He slid back a little. Before the hand reeled back he swung his sword cutting the fingers off. I watched as the fingers flew in the air and turned into pyreflies. They were purplish-blue in nature. An indingo color. I did not like that. The fingers grew back instantly just mechanical. Reaper tech at its finest there.

'Oh, yeah that helps me so freaking much.' Ignoring the stupid thing I couldnt read I continued my work. I slid down his left arm stabbing my sword inside. It cut through easily. I would have done the right, but it was mechanical. I rather not waste time while dealing with his first form still. "Ok this is nuts." When I landed a pagoda arrived. The blasted thing started spinning. "Tch," I jumped away as soon as it fired. It hit Jecht and bounced off into the air.
"Jecht.. you have to stop this. Braska would not want this." Auron said. Jecht turned to him and brought his hand down again. "You idiot fight it!" With a sideswipe the hand was knocked away. Auron flew to the side from the recoil. "You were better than that before. Got weaker in your old age?" Auron taunted Jecht stabbing at the man's pride. I felt Jecht rise to the surface more at that. He was pushing his dominance over the influence of Sin.
"Yeah old man. Letting some stupid creature take you over. How stupid!" Tidus yelled. He swung his sword at the pagoda that came spinning towards him. "Mom would be so disappointed in you!"
"Arrrr!" Jecht grabbed at his head shaking. His legs hitting against the platform from the side. I took the time to teleport in front of him. "Fwoosh!" I put my hand to his chest and sent out my magic to disrupt him. Adding my Pather Power mixed with my Soul Power to push clarity with the help of Mental Cleansing.
"Hah!" I grunted at the abrupt power usage added by Slaneesh and the sigils I placed on him. I connected with something in the inside and reached pulling it out. I was not ready for what came out. It was a woman. I knew her. "What the hell is your mom doing in there?!" I threw her behind me into the air. Somebody would catch her. "Well, why was she in there?" I felt a lot more inside and had to convince Slaneesh not to eat them. I felt a power radiate inside me. It was what the old man gave me working.
"Mom!" Tidus yelled leaving the front lines. I watched as he ran back. Good news Lulu stepped forward taking his place. She started to doublecast waiting for an opportunity.
Jecht pulled away from me. He gave me a very menacing look as he took in a deep breath. "Wooooshh." On instinct I stabbed my sword down keeping in place. Auron lifted into the air as did Lulu.
She did release her spells though. "Double Flare!" Two blasts of intense white magic blasted Jecht on the sides of his chest. He stooped sucking them in. "Ahhh!" Lulu screamed as she fell. I teleported grabbing her in the air. Yuna had summoned Ifrit to help the others fight against the sinspawn. She was letting it fight on its own as she helped us.
"Swoosh," holding onto her I looked for a spot to put her. Next to Mileena was the best bet. "Get ready to be on your feet to cast again." I looked at her. I passed that everything was going to be ok to her with my Pather Power. She nodded. "Swoosh," I placed her down and turned to Jecht.
Auron landed on his feet thinks to Mileena and Riku casting a wind spell to help him land. "Tap," as soon as his feet touched the ground he moved to swing at Jecht's torso. "Creen!" He cut deep on that hit. His sword glowed blue for a moment as he used Armor Break. The area that he landed turned back into flesh. No Reaper upgrades anymore.
"Woom woom," a pagoda appeared near him. I ran to get at it but was stooped by a trace of nausea. I had to focus and push against to stay in the fight. "Mental cleansing!" My spell hit everyone making them think a little clearer. I stabbed against Jecht and felt a stronger connection with my Sigil's I placed. They were spreading with more of the magic I pushed out.
"Dammit, Tidus get back in the fight!" I yelled behind seeing him still fuss over his mom. "Boi! If you dont I will come over there and kill her damn it!" He reacted to that. So did Jecht. I felt his soul grow stronger as he fought for control. However, he was also angry now.
"Ugh," Auron groaned as the other pagoda spun and fired at him. He was instantly turned to stone.
"Auron!" Yuna yelled. She started to cast another spell but Riku beat her to it.
"I got it. Do not waste your magic." Riku threw a bag with powder at Auron. It burst opened and he was free instantly. "I will things like that. Keep everyone healed." Riku then threw a grenade at the Pagoda. A sticky substance trapping the Pagoda. She then turned to the other one.
"Got it!" Yuna said with a cheer. Energy washed over all of us instantly. I felt calmer for one. She changed what spell she was casting and waited. Mileena charged at the stuck pagoda. She stabbed her sai's inside and kicked off it towards the other one. With the help of her wind magic she sailed through the air. Just in time as Riku had finally gotten it stuck. Mileena's dagger's had a weird glow to them. With a thought, I remember what it was from. They absorbed magic and casted silence on a target for a bit. They also healed the wielder.
"We have incoming!" Hotshot yelled. A few more sin spawn had entered the area. They had a fight on their hands back there now. "Send someone else to help back here!"
"Screw it! Anima get to work!" I felt the Aeon come down instantly. I didnt put a lot of magic into it. She appeared way different than her full form. A woman with ghastly pale face close to a specter. She was dressed in black with chains hanging behind her. She charged over killing the sin spawn with the intensity of a rabid dog. "Yeah... that is gonna have to do for now."
Jecht came at me with a raised slap. I felt the magic gathered around as the claws seated up. Strange currents of electrical magic appeared around his backside. It then travelled up his hand and down to his raised arm.
"Bzzt, bzzt," I watched as the magic tore through the world's reality.
"Oh crap.." I redirected and used Biotic Shielding. Just in time as I felt my self become frozen. The hand came down and smashed through my shield sending me through the platform.
"Boom!" I jumped out of the hole as fast as I could. Yuna used Curaga on me restoring my health. Something inside me broke loose from that hit.
"Arrooo!" I howled loud enough to disrupt the entire battlefield. It shattered both Pagodas and Anima unsummoned along with Ifrit. "Grrr," I was in my laguz form as a full wolf transformation. My magic was bursting as Slaneesh did not like the hit I received earlier and overfed me. I charged at Jecht and bit his arm.
"That is a really big wolf," I heard Kimihari say.
"Wham!" He struck my side as I bit deeper into him. I was sending my magic directly into his flesh as I did so. "Swoosh," He swung his arm in the air throwing me off. His pagodas started to reform as he did so. As I was in the air I just teleported to get behind him. I land right on his back as I bit into his neck.
"Schlik," I ripped out part of his flesh. Along with a mechanical attachment. I felt whatever the old man gave me working on getting rid of the Reaper tech. It disintegrated instantly when I removed it. Jecht rolled us back as we fell from the side of the building. "Scrrhh," he slid down on his side. I jumped off and ran down the side of the building. Whenever I would slip I used teleport to get right back where I needed to be.
"Concussive Shot!" Hoping the fired blast from my mouth would send him away from the building. "Boom!" I watched a part of his tendrils disappear as they went back inside to heal him. "Teleport!" I appeared above him as I pulled the water from the area. "Posiden Destroyer!" The powered sphere gathered instantly as I felt the world actually help me fight him. The others could see the attack from where they were. Thats how big I made it. I turned back to my human form to continue.
Launching it at him, I watched as he was blasted into the water. He was getting pushed further down as the attack fed on the water. I could feel the power of the world leaving me. The Reaper tech was getting burned up from inside him. The world was stabilizing again. Running over I reached in and activated the sigils I placed on his back and pulled out Jecht from the front. That is when everything decided to work again.
System: Free the souls of those trapped inside. Rewards: ???
Galtea: Be careful the world is correcting at an alarming rate.
I saw the pagodas gathering around Jecht. They were trying to take him back. "Mental Cleansing!" Soon as it hit him, the pagodas stopped spinning and switched rotation. Light gathered around JEcht and gained some clothes. I had to teleport to get back with the last of the World's strength.
"Fwoosh," As I arrived I looked at the others. Tidus was with his mom who stood unsteady. He was as useless as could be in this fight now. Riku must have felt my anger as she came over to me. She looked at Jecht for a second and shrugged.
"Easy now. I take it .. Sin is still alive?" She reached out and touched my face in worry. I gave her a nod.
"Yup and he is coming back with his full strength most likely so get ready," I said to her. Her face was not happy. I looked over to Mileena. Who was over supporting Hotshot now. "Great, to much to ask for a heal Yuna?"
"Ah, right." Yuna cast regen on me. Then she used it on the rest of the party. "Ha.. this is about the last of it. I still have a few Aeons I can summon though."
"Good, we are going to need them soon." I turned to see Jecht coming to. He looked at his wife and son then to me and nodded. Standing up, pyrflies gathered and he had his sword at the ready. A hulking piece of metal close to Auron's but somewhat shaped like an anchor.
Sin was back and had wings made from scales. "Damn it, man, just give up already!" I fired a Concussive Shot at it. Blasting a part of the arm off. Reaching over with my biotics I pulled the energy in. "Ugh, so much." The creature had the biotic strands of some people wrapped into one at the forefront. It was nauseating. "It is going to be to hard separating that shit!"
System: Athletics Check 31 Pass
"Get ready!" I yelled. Me Jecht and Auron were at the forefront. The pressure from its wings pushed everyone else away. As soon as it lands against the platform, I activated Adrenaline Rush and Mist Fist as well. I felt the water surround me instantly. Something else was helping me now. Then I realized it was my Aeons inside me.
Auron went left. Using his SpeedBreak on his sword. THe green energy was way intenser than I could remember. Jecht went to the right as his sword glowed white. I had no idea what he was using.
System: Athletics Check 33 Pass
Sin had a deformed version of Jecht's sword. It was made of scales and building rubble. It swung the blade sideways in a sweep at us. Auron slid underneath scratching the sword and Sin's arm with his own. I jumped on top and ran along the blade's length. When the sweep came to Jecht he just turned and brought that sword of his down.
"Jump!" Jecht yelled at me. I did so and went right towards Sin's face. "Raggh!" I heard him yell as his sword came down breaking Sin's sword to pieces. "Heh. Stupid imitation." He turned and was already coming back towards Sin.
I landed on Sin's chest and drove my Slaneesh inside. As the blade went deeper into Sin I already knew we couldnt beat it in a fight. It was stronger than us, and we were injured and low on magic. I called the Aeon that was fromed between me and Riku for help. I had no idea what it could do, but it did something. It went to work depowering Sin as best it could. Pushing my Mental cleansing onto Sin, I tried to help. The others fought the new Sin spawn that kept appearing. Auron and Jecht kept the arms busy as I just held on for dear life.
'Dammit, its not enough. Galtea I need more power.' I called out to her.
Galtea: If you use anymore you won't survive.
'Will it be enough to end this?'
Galtea: Yes but the penalty..
'Screw the penalty. I need them to live. We put to much work into this. Do it now.' As soon as I said that my magic kicked up a notch. Up above me a summon appeared. I couldnt make it out as chains went out grabbing at SIn. It started keeping him in place as Yuna summoned Valefor. It came in providing air support.
The magic the old man placed in me came out. It immediately went on the offensive attacking again and again with everything it had. In a matter of moments, it was over. Each blast of magic pulled Sin apart. The broken pieces went into me. Sin was nothing but a weird blob of misery when it was done. I saw the old man inside it. Gripped in pain and anguish. I felt the power move around and work with my Pather power. I gave it full access of my power before it was to late.
A giant chasm of light formed. I dont know why, but on instinct, I reached my hand out and pulled something free. A renegade option appeared over it. Not even paying attention to it, I crushed it in my hand.
Apparently that was the right move to do. Out walked a bunch of people. I mean a lot of people. Sin poured into me. The turned pyreflies became a part of me. As my Psycho/Soul Power devoured it along with Slaanesh. My Overlord Power was keeping my sense of self there. I could have lost my self in all the emotions it carried over the centuries.
System: You have freed the souls of those killed by Sin.
Rewards: Calculating...
Cerebus Node: You have done a great service to humanity.. calculating rewards..
Galtea: I cant believe you just did that. What you crushed could have given you an overwhelming amount of power in this world.
'Yeah well... it felt wrong in my hands.' I said tiredly. I could already feel myself breaking apart. I looked to the left and saw Hotshot disappear in light. The strangest thing happened. The light left and the Ronso was still there. It smiled at me but I could tell it was only a portion of her inside.
I looked to Mileena next. She was engulfed in light and nothing remained left. Next was Auron who disappeared completely as well.
Riku then yelled at me. "What the hell is going on?"
"Sorry but this was the best option." I smiled sadly at her. She ran up to me and gave me a hug.

"No no no. Stop stay. I wanna show you so many places. You havent toured the Al Bhed capital yet! We have to rebuild it! You can help with that!" Riku felt so sad it would have threatened to overload my senses if I was completely here. "Stop! Do whatever you have to stay!"
Nothing I could do so I just gave her a kiss. Transferring my feelings for her the light engulfed me completely. I saw it touch Tidus but all it did was change his clothes. We shared a look as he mouthed a thank you to me. I flipped Wakka off just for shits and giggles. Jecht looked pained by my leaving. He wanted to say something but there was no time.
Arriving back in my Nether World. I was on the porch again. Galtea had my head in her lap staring at me. She wanted to say something but didnt in the end. She had been crying for some reason. I felt somewhat empty. Something terrible was coming. Something I wouldn't be able to beat. I remained like that for god knows how long. I then fell asleep after checking that everyone made it. Well everyone except Riku. When I awoke next I was in my quarters on my ship.
"Ughh. I dont even want to see the penalties..." As I looked over I saw Mileena sleeping holding onto my arm. I saw a body behind her. Sitting up straight immediately I saw that it was Hotshot. Paying attention to them both, I realized they had their clothes still on. Touching myself I was dressed in boxers and I didn't feel like I just had sex. "What is going on?"
"Mmhm, be quiet. Trying to sleep." A voice grumbled next to me. I turned over, seeing Riku.
"Riku what are you doing here?!" I yelled forgetting that people were sleeping. "Not that I am complaining." I corrected myself not wanting to be that dick.
Stretching like she was a cat, she stared at me. "What do you mean what am I doing here? I am here to stay you, idiot. Now be quiet for I can go to sleep." Just like that she turned over and went back to sleep.
'Galtea.. what is going on here?'
Galtea: Riku has bonded to you. The item you crushed was the World orb. It sent the world on a path to a new future. With Riku staying there I was able to communicate with her. After informing her of what was going to happen she made a decision to come back here. Using only a few points a copy of her remained behind while the primary returned with you. The other her has the power. She is the owner of that World now. Right now it is inaccessible The System is protecting it. As the owner is allowed to change some things. With her being a companion she can earn points with yourself to make her place better.
I looked down at Riku who was out like a light. Then I felt her tail wrap around my leg. She smiled as she slept.
'Ok, so what is HotShot doing in my bed?'
Galtea: When Riku arrived she ran straight to your room to check on you. Seeing you still asleep she and Mileena started talking. When she informed Hotshot Riku was back she arrived. The trio talked all night till they were tired. Using a small amount of points I changed the clothes and cleaned them up.
'Well, thanks.' I tried getting up but Riku's tail pulled me back harder. So I just laid back and relaxed. 'So Galtea tell me everything that is now happening.'
Galtea: It is time for you to do that last bit with Vermine and the Reaper's. How are you feeling?
'My memory is still messy. Time is not as bad here as it was there. Care to tell me whats going on?'
Galtea: I rather not. You are safer that way. I think you will hate me for it. I am doing everything I can to stop it. I am not running away from him anymore. Also the last pull you manged was put in the Nether World prison. He arrived confused during the tampering from the enemy. We placed him inside for his safety. Right now he is going through a clean up so to speak.
'That is just great.' I leaned back to go back to sleep. What the old man told me still ringing in my head. It was not over between me and the User who could mess with time.
"No this isn't right!" Tidus backed away denying the reality in front of him. "No way my old man did this. No way he cared!" The place rattled a little. The piece of Sin that was there started to rage in anger. It pulled back into the darkness. Taking with it, our shot at weakening the current Sin."Foosh!" In a flash I was on Tidus. "You stupid idiot!" I had Tidus by the scruff of the neck pushed against the wall. I wanted to kill the idiot. The only reason I didnt, was because of Yuna screaming and the negative mission rewards. "I was so close to getting it under control. We could have saved them!""Let him go Azul," Auron said trying to calm me down. He was behind me with his hand on my shoulder. "It might me better this way. Dealing with that thing might have been more trouble than it was worth.""Tch," I clicked my teeth and dropped him to the ground. "Now we have to fix this. Its now gonna be even harder to stop it.""It will be fine." Riku said from the side. Her words didnt match her feelings. "I know we can do it.""I will do it," Tidus said standing up straight. "I will deliver the final blow. I can..""Are you that stupid?" I turned and looked at him snarling. "The whole point of this was to make sure Sin was stopped for good. The Sin spawn would be wiped away as well. Not to mention not to make Yuna a widow!""Then what are we going to do?" Tidus asked defeated. Yuna came up holding his hand. "Sorry, I should have been able to confront my old man better than that. It just what happened with my mom yah know." He looked at me. I gave him a nod and started walking around.I knew what we were gonna do. I just didnt want to admit it.Mileena gave me a look and nodded her head. Next was Hotshot. Despite her wounds, she stood awake. She was healed as best she could with magic and potions. But that last hit was a little to much."We are going to take him down." I turned to walk towards the path. I contacted Hotshot and Mileena usuing telepathy. 'I will do the final blow myself. Doing so will expel me from this world making it for I cant come back unless some conditions are met. I would be taking Sin with me as the Final Aeon. It does not belong here as it is. A User caused this and a User will have to end it.'Galtea: There is no way for you to do so. I have checked. When the last blow is delivered you will have time to say goodbye. That is the best I can do. Tidus will remain here as well as his mother.'What about Riku?' Hotshot asked.'Most likely will remain here. This is what she has been fighting for all this time. A happy ending for her cousin and her people safe. I just wished we could have saved more of them. To many background problems happening.''I will miss her.' said Mileena. 'Mia will as well. This Yunalesca woman is a lot like Yuna. Very caring, but she has a great hate for Sin despite it being her father's fault it exists. Well, the people of Beville anyway.''I know. I will too. Maybe I can pull something out of my ass to solve this. As for her, I wouldn't worry about it. You are stronger than her Mileena. If anything happens let me know.' Mileena gave a nod before looking out. HotShot was in no condition to fight really. "Hotshot stay in the rear providing support. I dont think we will have it easy there."I felt the Timeshift. Coming to I was in front of Jecht with everyone else. He had Reaper tech in him. He was a giant of a creature. Scales covering his body entirely from head to toe. Long hair like that of a Lion. White from age or magic I couldnt really tell. Weird tentacles from his back that looked like probes of some kind. His eyes had symboly in them. Reaper configuration. They moved about scanning us intently.https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Braska%27s_Final_Aeon_Final_Fantasy_X?file=Braska_Final_Aeon.jpgThis was some bullshit and a half. I was really starting to think I was gyped on my Pather Power. A bunch of System messages came up that I did not understand. Even communication with Galtea was messed with a little."So, me, Riku, and Mileena take on Jecht's main body. Kimihari, Wakka, and Hotshot will deal with anything that pops up in the rear. Everyone else will deal with whatever comes out around Jecht." I cast my buffs and got ready. Had Slannesh in my hand and was raring to end this. A few of the sould already powered him up as we moved up."Is there any way I can fight him?" Tidus asked me."Yeah.. no." I said not paying him any mind. "This stopped being your fight when you screwed it up a bit ago." I felt Riku glare at me. "What is it now?""Let him fight with you. In fact Auron as well. Me and Mileena will assist Yuna. Just in case anything happens." Riku said. "I think things will get really weird.""Alright." She knew more about this than me. My memories were vague for the battle. Plus with the changes, it might not even matter."Arrrrro!" Jecht roared. It was one of pain as he looked at Tidus. He swung his clawed hand reached out to strike at Tidus. Or maybe to grab him. "Thud!" It was to smack. He hand hit the ground missing Tidus who jumped away.I didnt mind as I used Teleport to get behind him in the air. The World was so distorted I didnt need to hide any abilities to fight now. "Your daddy was trying to give you a spanking it seemed." I smiled at Tidus as ran around on Jecht. I was laying a magical sigil on him. "Keep it up. Better he tries to spank you then pay attention to me.""Oh, whatever!" Tidus yelled back at me. He raised his hand and cast Hastega on himself. Charging up he struck at Jecht's arm. "I am just gonna have to give you a little payback old man!""Ching," his sword scratched against the scaled hand. It cut through but didnt leave any blood or anything. He needed more strength to get through that armored hide. A gold light went around him. I looked to see Yuna smiling as she cast some spells on him. Lulu cast a few next on Auron giving him a little more speed."Rooo," Jecht swung his other arm at Auron as he ran up. "Bing," Auron placed his sword in front blocking the attack easily. He slid back a little. Before the hand reeled back he swung his sword cutting the fingers off. I watched as the fingers flew in the air and turned into pyreflies. They were purplish-blue in nature. An indingo color. I did not like that. The fingers grew back instantly just mechanical. Reaper tech at its finest there.System: &%^$%'Oh, yeah that helps me so freaking much.' Ignoring the stupid thing I couldnt read I continued my work. I slid down his left arm stabbing my sword inside. It cut through easily. I would have done the right, but it was mechanical. I rather not waste time while dealing with his first form still. "Ok this is nuts." When I landed a pagoda arrived. The blasted thing started spinning. "Tch," I jumped away as soon as it fired. It hit Jecht and bounced off into the air."Jecht.. you have to stop this. Braska would not want this." Auron said. Jecht turned to him and brought his hand down again. "You idiot fight it!" With a sideswipe the hand was knocked away. Auron flew to the side from the recoil. "You were better than that before. Got weaker in your old age?" Auron taunted Jecht stabbing at the man's pride. I felt Jecht rise to the surface more at that. He was pushing his dominance over the influence of Sin."Yeah old man. Letting some stupid creature take you over. How stupid!" Tidus yelled. He swung his sword at the pagoda that came spinning towards him. "Mom would be so disappointed in you!""Arrrr!" Jecht grabbed at his head shaking. His legs hitting against the platform from the side. I took the time to teleport in front of him. "Fwoosh!" I put my hand to his chest and sent out my magic to disrupt him. Adding my Pather Power mixed with my Soul Power to push clarity with the help of Mental Cleansing."Hah!" I grunted at the abrupt power usage added by Slaneesh and the sigils I placed on him. I connected with something in the inside and reached pulling it out. I was not ready for what came out. It was a woman. I knew her. "What the hell is your mom doing in there?!" I threw her behind me into the air. Somebody would catch her. "Well, why was she in there?" I felt a lot more inside and had to convince Slaneesh not to eat them. I felt a power radiate inside me. It was what the old man gave me working."Mom!" Tidus yelled leaving the front lines. I watched as he ran back. Good news Lulu stepped forward taking his place. She started to doublecast waiting for an opportunity.Jecht pulled away from me. He gave me a very menacing look as he took in a deep breath. "Wooooshh."

Next to Mileena was the best bet. "Get ready to be on your feet to cast again." I looked at her. I passed that everything was going to be ok to her with my Pather Power. She nodded. "Swoosh," I placed her down and turned to Jecht.Auron landed on his feet thinks to Mileena and Riku casting a wind spell to help him land.

I had to focus and push against to stay in the fight. "Mental cleansing!" My spell hit everyone making them think a little clearer. I stabbed against Jecht and felt a stronger connection with my Sigil's I placed. They were spreading with more of the magic I pushed out."Dammit, Tidus get back in the fight!" I yelled behind seeing him still fuss over his mom. "Boi! If you dont I will come over there and kill her damn it!" He reacted to that. So did Jecht. I felt his soul grow stronger as he fought for control. However, he was also angry now."Ugh," Auron groaned as the other pagoda spun and fired at him. He was instantly turned to stone."Auron!" Yuna yelled. She started to cast another spell but Riku beat her to it."I got it. Do not waste your magic." Riku threw a bag with powder at Auron. It burst opened and he was free instantly. "I will things like that. Keep everyone healed." Riku then threw a grenade at the Pagoda. A sticky substance trapping the Pagoda. She then turned to the other one."Got it!" Yuna said with a cheer. Energy washed over all of us instantly. I felt calmer for one. She changed what spell she was casting and waited. Mileena charged at the stuck pagoda. She stabbed her sai's inside and kicked off it towards the other one. With the help of her wind magic she sailed through the air. Just in time as Riku had finally gotten it stuck. Mileena's dagger's had a weird glow to them. With a thought, I remember what it was from. They absorbed magic and casted silence on a target for a bit. They also healed the wielder."We have incoming!" Hotshot yelled. A few more sin spawn had entered the area. They had a fight on their hands back there now. "Send someone else to help back here!""Screw it! Anima get to work!" I felt the Aeon come down instantly. I didnt put a lot of magic into it. She appeared way different than her full form. A woman with ghastly pale face close to a specter. She was dressed in black with chains hanging behind her. She charged over killing the sin spawn with the intensity of a rabid dog. "Yeah... that is gonna have to do for now."Jecht came at me with a raised slap. I felt the magic gathered around as the claws seated up. Strange currents of electrical magic appeared around his backside. It then travelled up his hand and down to his raised arm."Bzzt, bzzt," I watched as the magic tore through the world's reality."Oh crap.." I redirected and used Biotic Shielding. Just in time as I felt my self become frozen. The hand came down and smashed through my shield sending me through the platform."Boom!" I jumped out of the hole as fast as I could.

His pagodas started to reform as he did so. As I was in the air I just teleported to get behind him. I land right on his back as I bit into his neck."Schlik," I ripped out part of his flesh.

He was as useless as could be in this fight now. Riku must have felt my anger as she came over to me. She looked at Jecht for a second and shrugged."Easy now. I take it .. Sin is still alive?" She reached out and touched my face in worry. I gave her a nod."Yup and he is coming back with his full strength most likely so get ready," I said to her. Her face was not happy. I looked over to Mileena. Who was over supporting Hotshot now. "Great, to much to ask for a heal Yuna?""Ah, right." Yuna cast regen on me. Then she used it on the rest of the party. "Ha.. this is about the last of it. I still have a few Aeons I can summon though.""Good, we are going to need them soon." I turned to see Jecht coming to. He looked at his wife and son then to me and nodded. Standing up, pyrflies gathered and he had his sword at the ready. A hulking piece of metal close to Auron's but somewhat shaped like an anchor.Sin was back and had wings made from scales. "Damn it, man, just give up already!" I fired a Concussive Shot at it. Blasting a part of the arm off. Reaching over with my biotics I pulled the energy in. "Ugh, so much." The creature had the biotic strands of some people wrapped into one at the forefront. It was nauseating. "It is going to be to hard separating that shit!"System: Athletics Check 31 Pass"Get ready!" I yelled. Me Jecht and Auron were at the forefront. The pressure from its wings pushed everyone else away. As soon as it lands against the platform, I activated Adrenaline Rush and Mist Fist as well. I felt the water surround me instantly. Something else was helping me now. Then I realized it was my Aeons inside me.Auron went left. Using his SpeedBreak on his sword. THe green energy was way intenser than I could remember. Jecht went to the right as his sword glowed white. I had no idea what he was using.System: Athletics Check 33 PassSin had a deformed version of Jecht's sword. It was made of scales and building rubble. It swung the blade sideways in a sweep at us. Auron slid underneath scratching the sword and Sin's arm with his own. I jumped on top and ran along the blade's length. When the sweep came to Jecht he just turned and brought that sword of his down."Jump!" Jecht yelled at me. I did so and went right towards Sin's face. "Raggh!" I heard him yell as his sword came down breaking Sin's sword to pieces. "Heh. Stupid imitation." He turned and was already coming back towards Sin.I landed on Sin's chest and drove my Slaneesh inside. As the blade went deeper into Sin I already knew we couldnt beat it in a fight. It was stronger than us, and we were injured and low on magic. I called the Aeon that was fromed between me and Riku for help. I had no idea what it could do, but it did something. It went to work depowering Sin as best it could. Pushing my Mental cleansing onto Sin, I tried to help. The others fought the new Sin spawn that kept appearing. Auron and Jecht kept the arms busy as I just held on for dear life.'Dammit, its not enough. Galtea I need more power.' I called out to her.Galtea: If you use anymore you won't survive.'Will it be enough to end this?'Galtea: Yes but the penalty..'Screw the penalty. I need them to live. We put to much work into this. Do it now.' As soon as I said that my magic kicked up a notch. Up above me a summon appeared. I couldnt make it out as chains went out grabbing at SIn. It started keeping him in place as Yuna summoned Valefor. It came in providing air support.The magic the old man placed in me came out. It immediately went on the offensive attacking again and again with everything it had. In a matter of moments, it was over. Each blast of magic pulled Sin apart. The broken pieces went into me. Sin was nothing but a weird blob of misery when it was done. I saw the old man inside it. Gripped in pain and anguish. I felt the power move around and work with my Pather power. I gave it full access of my power before it was to late.A giant chasm of light formed. I dont know why, but on instinct, I reached my hand out and pulled something free. A renegade option appeared over it. Not even paying attention to it, I crushed it in my hand.Apparently that was the right move to do. Out walked a bunch of people. I mean a lot of people. Sin poured into me. The turned pyreflies became a part of me. As my Psycho/Soul Power devoured it along with Slaanesh. My Overlord Power was keeping my sense of self there. I could have lost my self in all the emotions it carried over the centuries.System: You have freed the souls of those killed by Sin.Rewards: Calculating...Cerebus Node: You have done a great service to humanity.. calculating rewards..Galtea: I cant believe you just did that. What you crushed could have given you an overwhelming amount of power in this world.'Yeah well... it felt wrong in my hands.' I said tiredly. I could already feel myself breaking apart. I looked to the left and saw Hotshot disappear in light. The strangest thing happened. The light left and the Ronso was still there. It smiled at me but I could tell it was only a portion of her inside.I looked to Mileena next. She was engulfed in light and nothing remained left. Next was Auron who disappeared completely as well.Riku then yelled at me. "What the hell is going on?""Sorry but this was the best option." I smiled sadly at her. She ran up to me and gave me a hug.

You havent toured the Al Bhed capital yet! We have to rebuild it! You can help with that!" Riku felt so sad it would have threatened to overload my senses if I was completely here. "Stop! Do whatever you have to stay!"Nothing I could do so I just gave her a kiss. Transferring my feelings for her the light engulfed me completely. I saw it touch Tidus but all it did was change his clothes. We shared a look as he mouthed a thank you to me. I flipped Wakka off just for shits and giggles. Jecht looked pained by my leaving. He wanted to say something but there was no time.Arriving back in my Nether World. I was on the porch again. Galtea had my head in her lap staring at me. She wanted to say something but didnt in the end. She had been crying for some reason. I felt somewhat empty. Something terrible was coming. Something I wouldn't be able to beat. I remained like that for god knows how long. I then fell asleep after checking that everyone made it. Well everyone except Riku. When I awoke next I was in my quarters on my ship."Ughh. I dont even want to see the penalties..." As I looked over I saw Mileena sleeping holding onto my arm. I saw a body behind her. Sitting up straight immediately I saw that it was Hotshot. Paying attention to them both, I realized they had their clothes still on. Touching myself I was dressed in boxers and I didn't feel like I just had sex. "What is going on?""Mmhm, be quiet. Trying to sleep." A voice grumbled next to me. I turned over, seeing Riku."Riku what are you doing here?!" I yelled forgetting that people were sleeping. "Not that I am complaining." I corrected myself not wanting to be that dick.Stretching like she was a cat, she stared at me. "What do you mean what am I doing here? I am here to stay you, idiot. Now be quiet for I can go to sleep." Just like that she turned over and went back to sleep.'Galtea.. what is going on here?'Galtea: Riku has bonded to you. The item you crushed was the World orb. It sent the world on a path to a new future. With Riku staying there I was able to communicate with her. After informing her of what was going to happen she made a decision to come back here. Using only a few points a copy of her remained behind while the primary returned with you. The other her has the power. She is the owner of that World now. Right now it is inaccessible The System is protecting it. As the owner is allowed to change some things. With her being a companion she can earn points with yourself to make her place better.I looked down at Riku who was out like a light. Then I felt her tail wrap around my leg. She smiled as she slept.'Ok, so what is HotShot doing in my bed?'Galtea: When Riku arrived she ran straight to your room to check on you. Seeing you still asleep she and Mileena started talking. When she informed Hotshot Riku was back she arrived. The trio talked all night till they were tired. Using a small amount of points I changed the clothes and cleaned them up.'Well, thanks.' I tried getting up but Riku's tail pulled me back harder. So I just laid back and relaxed. 'So Galtea tell me everything that is now happening.'Galtea: It is time for you to do that last bit with Vermine and the Reaper's. How are you feeling?'My memory is still messy. Time is not as bad here as it was there. Care to tell me whats going on?'Galtea: I rather not. You are safer that way. I think you will hate me for it. I am doing everything I can to stop it. I am not running away from him anymore. Also the last pull you manged was put in the Nether World prison. He arrived confused during the tampering from the enemy. We placed him inside for his safety. Right now he is going through a clean up so to speak.'That is just great.' I leaned back to go back to sleep. What the old man told me still ringing in my head. It was not over between me and the User who could mess with time.
