Rinoa Heartilly feels everything drop away as Ultimecia is completely gone.

Squall Leonhart is VERY confused.

Seifer Almasy cocks his head and squawks, as everything turns strange.

Zell Dincht holds Irvine tighter.

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[Squall, what's going on?]"

Seifer Almasy says, "Articuno! Articuno!"

Seifer Almasy flutters through the darkness.

Zell Dincht says, "Irvine?"

Irvine Kinneas moans a bit.

Zell Dincht says, "Are, you ok?"

Zell Dincht looks around at the strangeness.

Irvine Kinneas is now asleep so doesn't really hear Zell, though does snuggle into his arms some more. He was healed by Ultimecia's energy though after she died.

Zell Dincht closes his eyes and thinks about where he wants to be.

The sphere pulse again and releases another flash, when it is gone so are Zell and Irvine.

Squall Leonhart finds himself thinking of his time with Seifer... when they were both lying in each other's arms as humans... and sighs.

Seifer Almasy caws as he tries to think of a place.

The sphere flashes yet again and Squall disappears through time, reliving that moment through the power Ultimecia had gathered.

Seifer Almasy is holding him in that moment, as a human.

Squall Leonhart . o O ( this isnt where I belong... its gone... its over... I'll never have that again.. where do I belong? )

the scene fades a bit as Squall thinks this.

Rinoa Heartilly calls out as she arrives in a field [Squall!!]

the call echoes through time because of Rinoa's Sorceress powers and reaches Squall's ears.

Seifer Almasy finds himself in his home in the north.

Squall Leonhart says, "[Rinoa.... do I belong with you.....?]"

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[Squall! Where are you!]"

Squall Leonhart thinks about Rinoa.

Seifer Almasy is all alone out there and wishes he wasn't... but can't be with his love.

the scene fades completely as a field fades in.

Squall Leonhart says, "[rin?]"

Zell Dincht arrives in his room with Irvine.

Seifer Almasy says, "[love.... why can't I.. remember...]"

Irvine Kinneas is still in Zell's arms and shifts slightly as he moans, his eyes moving a bit.

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[Squall!]"

Squall Leonhart lies down in the flowers... still confused and very sad from seeing what he lost with Seifer.

Rinoa Heartilly moves over to Squall's side.

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[Squall...]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[rin.... what’s it worth living if I know my kids are gonna bring that into the world?]"

Rinoa Heartilly nuzzles him.

Seifer Almasy looks around at his empty space.

Seifer Almasy says, "[alone... my love isn't here... and I can't remember...]"

Squall Leonhart puts a paw over his eyes.

Rinoa Heartilly nuzzles him gently.

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[time will happen... it has happened... we must live with it.]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[I don’t want it to happen... I’m not having children.]"

Rinoa Heartilly shakes him slightly.

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[then.. go find the one you truly love... be with him... then maybe you won't...]"

Brent Kramer looks up at the castle as some of it begins to crumble, the powers that held it together now gone as he gets up, finished with burying Flynn.

Squall Leonhart says, "[how can I?]"

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[be with Seifer?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[yes...]"

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[I'm a sorceress... I can do things with my power...]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[If I became a bird... I would loose most of what makes myself...... me...]"

Rinoa Heartilly hugs Squall to her.

Squall Leonhart says, "[when I could transform I tried being a bird.... its cramped...]"

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[but, you would never have to worry about having children... and you'd be with your true love...]"

Brent Kramer walks to the castle, making his way to the throne room ignoring both the bits of floor that fall away and the tears streaming down his face.

Squall Leonhart says, "[you'd be alone...]"

Rinoa Heartilly pats him.

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[I would always have my Pokémon to keep me company... and you'd have your true love back...]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[if you could make me a bird then you could make me a human too?]"

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[I don't know...]"

Rinoa Heartilly kisses Squall softly.

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[Squall, what would you do as a human?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[it's always been my dream... I am at a dead end here.... I do not want to be this form if I can not change it... as before.]"

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[but what would you do?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[stay with you... and ... be happy I suppose... I don’t see how I could stay with you stuck as this... mews beget mews.]"

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[either way you stay with me it's sure Ultimecia will be born...]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[I have to stay with you or there will be no future. If you could make me human... could you... make Seifer human?]"

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[does he want to be human?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[or is he too far gone already... from being stuck in a little tiny brain...]"

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[I wouldn't know.]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[I want to ... be with him again but not like that... its not the same.]"

Rinoa Heartilly nods.

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[I know... why don't we try to find him and see?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[he lives in the north...]"

Rinoa Heartilly nods.

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[then we have to go there...]"

Rinoa Heartilly closes her eyes and thinks about Seifer in the north.

Squall Leonhart sees Rinoa disappear... and panics a little... thinking about Seifer... and ends up in the same place as she.

Seifer Almasy is asleep in a small ice cave, folded in his wings.

Squall Leonhart shivers.

Squall Leonhart says, "[cold.]"

Rinoa Heartilly shivers and turns into a Flareon to keep him warm.

Squall Leonhart says, "[I hate cold...]"

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[I'll get you warm.]"

Seifer Almasy stirs and caws happily when he sees Squall.

Brent Kramer walks forward and looks at the globe sitting on the throne, know what happened as the tears continue to stream.

Squall Leonhart says, "[Hello... Seifer... do you remember anything? Or are you like poor Raijin?]"

Seifer Almasy moves over and rubs his head against him.

Seifer Almasy says, "[I... I don't know...]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[what’s freedom like for you.... do you like it here?]"

Brent Kramer says, "I'll get revenge... I swear it..."

Seifer Almasy says, "[nice.. but.. I'm lonely...]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[Its my fault.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[fault?]"

Seifer Almasy cocks his head to the side.

Squall Leonhart says, "[I told you to ... pokefie and be this way... lonely and stupid.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[I'm not stupid...]"

Seifer Almasy preens his feathers.

Squall Leonhart says, "[you have a tiny brain...]"

Seifer Almasy snorts.

Seifer Almasy says, "[what does that have to do with anything?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[my mind doesn’t fit into one as small as yours... how could I expect Seifer’s to have... although... he was never very bright.]"

Seifer Almasy caws in annoyance.

Seifer Almasy says, "[that's not a nice thing to say.]"

Seifer Almasy flutters his wings.

Squall Leonhart is trying to see if any of seifer is left by insulting him

Squall Leonhart says, "[Seifer... was always a fool.. rushing off into battle without thinking... ]"

Seifer Almasy's eyes seem to narrow as much as they can at Squall.

Squall Leonhart says, "[Seifer was as dumb as a brick when it came to anything other than brute strength....]"

Seifer Almasy caws again and flies up into the air, obviously angry.

Squall Leonhart says, "[why are you upset? You aren’t Seifer.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[you said I was...]"

Brent Kramer slowly reaches out and touches the globe, which flashes and disappears under his touch.

Squall Leonhart says, "[yes... you WERE... why should you be concerned if I insult something you aren’t?]"

Seifer Almasy waves his tail at Squall in anger as he flies out of the cave, landing just above.

Squall Leonhart says, "[rin... I think he's still in there... or at least his arrogance is, but I’m sure.. that he has to want to come back...]"

Rinoa Heartilly says, "[go see him... he seemed lonely...]"

Squall Leonhart follows after Seifer... limping slightly.

Seifer Almasy watches the sunset with a sigh, feeling alone still.

Squall Leonhart climbs up beside the bird.

Seifer Almasy looks down at Squall, then back at the sunset.

Squall Leonhart says, "[missing something in your life...?]"

Seifer Almasy nods slowly.

Squall Leonhart says, "[what do you think it is?]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[love...]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[haven’t found any others of your kind?]"

Seifer Almasy shakes his head.

Seifer Almasy says, "[I'm all alone here...]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[want me to sacrifice myself.... lose myself so that you can have a companion...]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[sacrifice yourself?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[that’s what it would be like... I doubt there would be much of the real me left when I get crammed into a bird brain.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[what would you be like?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[probably little more than an automaton...]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[what's that mean?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[I'd eat and sleep and do birdie stuff... but that’s about it.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[not watch the sunset?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[I’m sure I’d see it but not sure if I'd understand.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[to see the sunset from here is beautiful... but I would give anything to have someone to share it with me...]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[I'll give you that if Rinoa'll let me... but I cant promise anything great.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[to share it.. would need to understand...]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[I’ve tried being a bird before... its very cramped... to stay too long as one would mean irreplaceable losses...]"

Squall Leonhart sighs.

Squall Leonhart says, "[how much have you lost?]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[lost?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[you were a human once... my friend.]"

Seifer Almasy cocks his head, looking at Squall with one eye.

Seifer Almasy says, "[and?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[you were my lover.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[what happened?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[I foolishly sent you away... thinking you would be happy... but are you?]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[sometimes... but I get lonely.]"

Squall Leonhart shivers.

Seifer Almasy pulls a wing around him.

Squall Leonhart says, "[I saw us again... holding each other... it makes my heart hurt that I cant be with you that way anymore.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[you hurt?]"

Seifer Almasy nuzzles his beak against him.

Squall Leonhart says, "[to know I cant have you in bed with me anymore... because you are gone.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[I'm right here.]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[you aren’t you.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[how am I not me?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[you aren’t Seifer anymore. I can’t stay with you like this.. its too cold for me here.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[then get warm.]"

Seifer Almasy lets out a sigh as he takes his wing away.

Squall Leonhart says, "[you want me to freeze to death to get my point across.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[no...]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[Rainbow island is warm... not a bitter waste... its jingly.]"

Seifer Almasy caws unhappily and hops away.

Squall Leonhart says, "[what do you want me to do?]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[go be warm...]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[I cant leave you alone though...]"

Squall Leonhart curls up in the snow.

Seifer Almasy hops back over and nudges him.

Seifer Almasy says, "[don't freeze cause of me...]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[why live... anymore.. I can’t have my dream.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[what dream?]"

Seifer Almasy caws sadly at him.

Squall Leonhart says, "[of being human.... and being with you... I shouldn’t have sent you away. I can’t even attain being human anymore.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[sent me away?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[send you away to what I believed would make you happy.]"

Rinoa Heartilly listens to Squall as she stays bellow, focusing on her powers and what she can do with them.

Seifer Almasy says, "[happy but.. alone... so unhappy as well.]"

Squall Leonhart curls up tighter.

Squall Leonhart says, "[I wanted what was best... but only messed things up.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[you can't have what you want?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[I can’t be human... I lost the power to transform.... and I can’t be with you.]"

Seifer Almasy nudges him.

Seifer Almasy says, "[you sure?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[pretty sure.]"

Seifer Almasy pulls his wings around Squall as he lies down.

Rinoa Heartilly changes back to mew form.

Squall Leonhart says, "[what do I do....]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[what do you want to do?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[I want things the way they used to be... but I cant have that.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[what can you have?]"

Squall Leonhart says, "[I don’t know.]"

Rinoa Heartilly whispers into Squall's mind "You can have what you want... just name it.. and there is no turning back.. it can't be reversed.]

Squall Leonhart says, "[what do I want... I cant leave Rinoa... alone... if I could have anything it would be for us to be together again.... but I cant do that to her...]"

Rinoa Heartilly whispers in his mind "I'll be fine... he's your true love.. it's hard to get those... he seems to need you more..."

Squall Leonhart says, "[how though...]"

Rinoa Heartilly whispers "did he promise to stay with you no matter what?"

Squall Leonhart says, "[yes...]"

Rinoa Heartilly whispers again "then he'll follow you anywhere."

Squall Leonhart says, "[but he wont be happy anywhere.... we cant be together the way I want as this.]"

Rinoa Heartilly whispers again "Are you sure?"

Seifer Almasy holds Squall in his wings, looking down at the little mew.

Squall Leonhart says, "[almost positive.]"

Rinoa Heartilly sighs as she thinks back "I think he's more happy to be with you then any where else..."

Squall Leonhart says, "[where do you propose we go... fishes can love birds... but then where would they live?]"

Rinoa Heartilly responds by whispering "remember, I can change you... you can be together..."

Squall Leonhart says, "[then do what you think is right for us.]"

Rinoa Heartilly nods and closes her eyes, glowing white.

Seifer Almasy holds Squall still as they start to glow white.

Rinoa Heartilly whispers in Squall's mind "I hope this makes you both happy.. you won't see me for a while.. this will take a lot of power.."

Squall Leonhart . o O ( Are you sure you'll be okay... I still want you around... if .. its possible? )

Rinoa Heartilly . o O ( I'll be fine... but you won't see me for a while cause this will drain a lot of power.. but you will see me again. )

Seifer Almasy holds Squall tighter as they seemingly break apart and vanish.

Squall Leonhart is greatly confused and disoriented... wondering what surprise Rinoa has in store for them.

Rinoa Heartilly gives Squall what he truly wants, knowing that Seifer will like it too, based on the vows Seifer made to Squall.

Squall Leonhart wakes up feeling rather odd.

Seifer Almasy is fast asleep now, holding Squall.

Squall Leonhart says, "Seifer?"

Squall Leonhart looks at his hands.

Squall Leonhart says, "Wake.. up."

Seifer Almasy curls up tighter, trying to shrug him off sleepily.

Squall Leonhart sighs and curls up with him... happy that Rinoa gave him this wonderful gift.
