Here is the next chapter! I am still updating and rewriting existing chapters, go back and read chapter 1 though. I added a lot more to it! and some of it has got to do with the plot as well! :)

Also Rufus Shinra won for the crossover! So the Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 13 crossover will star him :)


"When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end, the goddess descends from the sky. Wings of light and dark spread afar, she guides us to bliss her gift everlasting." Genesis softly said walking up to Yuna as Lulu told her that she should not cry next time. Tidus looked over to him whenever he began to quote from Loveless to the young woman, the blue oversized cat just stood there in a stoic fashion letting the woman mourn for the dead.

Yuna looked over to Genesis when he began to say those beautiful words, she wondered what they meant hearing him quote from the book he kept with him. She never saw him without the book and he refused to let anyone touch it so she knew it was something precious to him, but why would an old worn book be so important? Maybe it belonged to one of his parents? She would ask about it later she decided, but she didn't understand what the words meant," What does it mean?"

A goddess? That was strange, no one mentions anything but Yevon. As far as she knew there were no other deities but Yevon, Genesis kept the worn book opened to the beginning looking up from the elegant writing to say to her," There are many ways to comprehend the story, you may comprehend it one way but I may comprehend it another. I have learned that much over the years, whatever soothes your soul is what it means. So what do you want it to mean?"

Genesis looked at the pyreflies that were continuing to go towards the sky leaving the cruel world they once inhabited in life, the sun set casting their shadows over the broken remains of the houses and the red, orange, and pink colors reflected off of the ocean. He comprehended it in a way that made him think that his two friends and he were the three in the story, but he wondered for a bit what Yuna would think the story was about.

He didn't have to wonder about it for long before the woman said looking up to the sky with tears in her greed and blue eyes,"Then..the ones we lost today are experiencing eternal bliss. They neither worry nor feel pain anymore, if your goddess really exists then..Then she has guided them to their happiness..She took them when the beast in the story killed them…So they are living in et..eternal..eternal bliss.."

Yuna was having a hard time saying it through the tears that started to fall once more, so many innocent people were lost today and there were so many children who didn't and would never see adulthood. She was a strong believer in the teachings of Yevon, but the words to that poem were soothing to the ones who heard it and she won't ruin it by praying to Yevon in front of the man for the souls of the dearly departed. Yevon must have wanted this to happen, this happened for a reason and that reason must have been to make sure that she is resolved to kill Sin. Yevon was testing everyone and their faith by this, she refused to believe that they died for nothing.

Genesis did not say anything to her after that instead he started to walk up to Tidus, the image of Yuna gracefully dancing atop the water a feat that not even the nimblest of dances in Midgar could ever hope to accomplish. It had been a beautiful but sorrow filled sight, she was not dancing for amusement or for the enjoyment of others, she had been sending the spirits back to their planet. He believed that it worked like that, how else could it work?

What was this young man's part in all of this? He has been trying to find out if he had been a victim of chance or if the young man was intentionally there, he was not one to believe in chance anymore not after what he went through. He started to believe that perhaps fate was playing a big part in all of their lives, he shook his head a bit thinking that perhaps he really was overthinking everything.

"Horrifying..Isn't it?" Tidus spoke up when Genesis walked towards the man, he was surprised that Tidus would call a dance such as that horrifying or maybe it was due to the reason of the dance?

Genesis shook his head at the words before he spoke up," It's rather beautiful actually..The way the water seemed to bend to her will. Are you sure it was sending that scared you? Maybe it was what the summoning means that got to you. People die all the time though and I have a feeling you will be seeing more death in the future, take a good look right now and let the image be seared into your mind. This is what happens when monsters are allowed to run around."

Tidus looked from the caskets in the water over to Genesis when he said that, he could tell by looking at the younger man that he found what Genesis said to be as disturbing if not more than the sending itself. Genesis kept his gaze locked with Tidus's until he said to Genesis," You..You are used to this aren't you?"

"Death..Yes, I am used to seeing people die. Strangers who I have never seen before, people that I have passed by on the street, store owners that I would talk to on occasions, and even people that were near and dear to me. All dead. The summoning was something I have never witnessed before, it was new and enlightening in a way. Death is a natural part of life, when we die we will return to the planet." Genesis walked away from Tidus thinking to himself about what he was going to do next, was there anything he could even do? Right now, he knew that he had to stick beside Yuna and gain her favor. He had to stay on her good side and make sure that he has ensured his place within her little group, that is until he figures out whether or not she is the one he needed to protect. If she wasn't the one then he would have to ditch them to find who it really is even though by now he was pretty sure that she was the one, but he couldn't be sure still.

He couldn't believe that Genesis would say something like that, he said to himself watching the sun continue to set," What a creepy way of seeing things..Wait, return to the planet? I don't know what he means by that..I will ask him later."

Tidus couldn't imagine living his life seeing things like Genesis, sure death happens but why would someone make themselves used to it? Wouldn't that mean they expected more death and held no hope for the future and that things would become peaceful then. He looked over to Yuna who was walking up to everyone getting back from the water and he could no longer see Genesis," It must be tough to be a summoner.."

Lulu who had been beside them listening in to what was being said and her suspicions towards Genesis beginning to grow over his words spoken to Tidus, ignoring how he appeared to be startled over hearing her," Yuna chose her own path, she knew what it all meant from the beginning and the most we can do is protect her along the way. Until the end."

"The end?" Tidus asked confused over what she meant by that, he has heard the end being used in several ways and well he didn't like what some of those ways insinuated and wondered if perhaps the incident that occurred just an hour ago had made him paranoid. He didn't want to see anymore death, he didn't want to hear anymore anguished cries, and he didn't want to witness families being broken and anymore goodbyes.

He felt a bit embarrassed whenever everyone turned to him and he could tell that he was starting to annoy Lulu, she raised her hands walking off saying to him as she distanced herself from the blond haired man," Until she defeats sin."

They were talking about the spirits reaching the farplane and he didn't even know what the farplane was, Genesis said return to the planet and then Lulu said farplane. Which one was it? Tidus began to feel the spark of hope that had started to dim come back, maybe Genesis was not from Spira either. Maybe, just maybe they were in the same boat and that would mean maybe there was a way back to Zanarkand," This is all too difficult!"

Tidus sighed to himself going to the inn to check in and get some rest, yes everything was becoming too hard. He didn't understand why Sin was doing what it did, he remembered Wakka talking about Machina and Sin being a punishment but no one was using machine and so shouldn't Sin disappear? He went up to the room and laid down looking up at the ceiling, how could he sleep now? What Genesis said was going through his mind and the fact that he was in a foreign land with no clue how it worked didn't help either, so many things were bugging him and he was no closer to getting any answers. Sure he could just ask, but everyone was treating him like some sort of freak for asking what they saw as common knowledge. He could also ask Genesis since they appeared at the same time and he remembered Genesis even asked about the world, so his thoughts from earlier seemed to be confirmed and that Genesis was not from Spira. Wakka took it as being from the toxin and didn't appear to be thinking much of it, but Tidus was thinking about it and he felt like he made a major breakthrough. It wasn't much, but it was more than what he had to go with at first.

His eyes slid shut after a moment unable to stay awake any longer, the events of the day leaving him exhausted and he couldn't help but fall asleep.

Meanwhile Lulu was walking throughout the ruins of Kilika as Wakka continued to help the rest of the Aurochs fix the town, she didn't glance at Wakka when he waved at her trying to get her attention so that he could say how the rebuilding was going. He shrugged it off before continuing to rebuild the town, Lulu walked up to Kimahri softly saying to him trying to make sure that no one could overhear her," Kimahri, I want you to protect Yuna and stay by her side constantly. I do not trust Genesis, he treats death too callously and I do not want to take any chances leaving Yuna unattended."

Lulu crossed her arms over her chest looking up at the ronso, she waited for his answer and after a moment he nodded to her. Satisfied she walked away before turning back to him and saying," I don't want you telling Yuna about this either, this conversation never happened."

After that she walked off leaving Kimahri with what she had just said, she did not get the same feeling she got around Genesis when she was with Tidus. She felt she could trust Tidus, but with Genesis it was almost like she was playing with fire. That one wrong word or even move would mean she got burned, she was not the type to get easily disturbed or even feel threatened and there was no way that she would even show that she held such feelings either, but when she looked into Genesis's eyes…It was like looking into ice or the eyes of a killer, he has been pleasant so far but the eyes were the windows to the soul and now she questioned whether his soul was as good as Yuna thought.

Lulu glanced up feeling like she was being watched by someone and saw Genesis sitting on top of one of the huts with the book in his hand, it seemed like he was reading by the moonlight and he was staring right at her. She couldn't see his eyes, but his head was facing her direction and she could feel those glowing blue eyes searing into hers. She looked away continuing to walk off from the area glancing over her shoulder to see Genesis was looking down at the book and shivered a bit, whether it was from the cold air of the night or from the look she didn't know, Lulu whispered to herself going to the inn to get some rest,"Genesis..Just who are you?"


I hope that everyone enjoyed this chapter :) I am adding more conflicts for Genesis and keeping Tidus's parts the same overall xD I don't want Genesis to be the sole focus of the story and plan on every now and then changing the perspective so that you can see how other characters react to Genesis and that means the story will be longer as well xD

Review, Favorite, and Alert :)
