-IH-9 is violently jarred and thrown off to the side, crunching a wall as it settles onto the ground-

-The outer structure is completely crumpled and generally in a shitty state-

-One of its legs is busted-

-But a quick glow of blood-red light sets the leg right-

-IH-9 stands up slowly, its hydraulics being pushed to the limit because of all the abuse-

-It doesn't care that there's been a catastrophic collision-

-It lifts its sword and lumbers towards Kefka-

-It's single-minded and out for blood-

-It lunges at him, totally willing to go for a cheap shot-

-Sora jumps back from the thrown party-

Wait- Is that everyone else?? No way you're— Well, not really in time but—

Death

-Gil-

-The clown laughs all the harder at you, and uses its mind to throw that robot you've never met before back across the room-

Look up, you numbskulls!

-There is a new sun in the sky-

Rebirth

-Lightning is wreathed around this new entity-

-Space is bending, stretching like hot taffy-

-It burns so brightly that the light of this world seems like shadows-

-Colours inverting-

-A boundary is formed, at the edge of the city-

-And everything outside of this boundary-

-All those people and countries, stars and planets and nebulae-

-Everything there is-

-Simply ceases to be-

-Because in the end, after all the fighting, this is how the world ends-

-Not with a bang, but a whimper-

Vortex

-The edges of the city curl up around you-

-No-

-Around the new sun, in the centre of the universe-

-An egg is formed-

-The cosmic egg from which the new world will be born-

-You can feel your friends around you-

-As souls are dissociated from their bodies-

-All souls-

-Kath will feel the cackling of a dark spirit in the city, as loosed from its prison, it swoops to find another-

Questions

-There is a vast light before you-

-You can see no-one else-

-You are alone with the sun-

-It speaks to you-

What is in your Heart?

What is in your ideal world?

What is your Reason?

-IH-9 ceases to be, and it fades along with everything else-

-Leaving only Dot-

-Or rather, Juillegar Kyrisael-

-Half-god and half-mortal-

-Her soul is violently turning in on itself, wracked by the emotions of a thousand different dead gods-

-The anger of war, the promise of technology, the solace of death-

-And the soothing light of the older three, the three she venerates still-

-Unity-

-Justice-

-Fortitude-

-Juillegar's soul is tearing itself apart, with the disparate pieces vying for control in this void-

-Eventually, the red-hot anger of war dissipates, leaving Juillegar's soul a pure, cool white color-

-And she is at peace with herself-

-Even though she went off the deep end and succumbed to a primeval rage, she did what she had to-

-She fought valiantly and she upheld the virtues she held the most dear-

-Juillegar fought to protect the innocent, to shield the weak, to uplift the suffering-

-She toiled to mend broken people and broken alliances-

-Unity-

-That's what she fought for-

-And it's what she's gotten now-

-In the middle of it all, she can't help but think of home, of Kejlras, of Yrala, and of the person she cherished and admired most-

-If she were to speak, she would swear that she could feel Tallis smiling at her-

What is in your Heart?

My Heart... it is...

I...

Love is in my heart, but... there is.... evil in it. So it is in all hearts, right?

My heart is filled with the same thing that every heart is.

What is in your ideal world?

... It is a world of... miracles. Where it is possible to live well, for us all to live well.

I want... Utopia? No...

I want something real, that will last.

I want the world we were meant for, and that was meant for us.

What is your Reason?

My Reason...

No-

I want to create a true miracle.

I want to save everyone.

What is in your heart?

What is this question? I am mankind's hero. Thus, in my heart I bear love for all mankind.

Is this answer not sufficient? Perhaps I was too flippant? Very well, I shall restate it. I respect those who have strength and fight for what they believe in.

I... I don't know. I don't want to hurt anyone. Is that what you wanted to hear? I'm here for my friends, my family... they're all gone, aren't they? So I'm only here for myself. Selfishness, that's what's in my heart. -she says quietly, almost bitterly-

What is in your ideal world?

You ask what is the ideal world of Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes?

A return to form, certainly.

An untamed world - a world where those who are worthy will thrive, where those who have the will to conquer may do so unimpeded. A world such as my own was, when it was still young, still yet unforged by time's relentless hammering upon it.

I desire... a world of strength.

I... I don't want to die. I guess that's the world I want.

When I was younger, my parents... they died. In an accident. And — I don't know. It stuck with me, my whole life. Is that normal? To — to be affected by it to the point where it never goes away?

I'm afraid of cars. I always walk when I can...

...I... I guess what I want is a world where nobody has to die. A world where nobody has to feel the hurt and the grief and the loss that comes up inside of you when someone close to you... they pass away.

What is your Reason?

When I was summoned into the Holy Grail War, I saw the modern world. -chuckles- The 'modern world.' They had built marvelous creations and inventions — from the mansion of the magus that had summoned me, I could see towers that touched the sky itself.

And for what? The world itself had become degenerate. Corrupt. Rotten to the core. What is the point of these modern creations if man has nothing left but to indulge in his modernity? In his success?

There is nothing for it. The slate has to be wiped clean. That is my reason.

...That's just me justifying it to someone else, isn't it?

Okay. No bullshit time, okay? The truth is, I'm just... I'm afraid. I'm afraid of dying, because... there's nothing after it, is there? Not really, I mean. There's nothing after death. And that— that terrifies me, that just scares the hell out of me. I— I like existing, I like living. I've never — I've never not done that, and the thought that one day, before I know it, everything's just gonna end...

...Scares the hell out of me.

That's it. That's my reason. It's fear.

...Ever since Cloud mentioned it, I've been thinking about this, and now here it is.

What's in my Heart?

I'm not sure, there's love, there's hate...a desire, I want companionship but I also want conquest. I think I'm a conflicted being.

My Ideal world... Its one where no matter what, as long as someone works hard they could achieve anything. People say the world is like that already, but that's only true for the really lucky. I want everyone to have that.

My Reason?

To find my own happiness. That's my reason.

What is in your Heart

I...I want to help people. I became a Jedi to help people...but I'm afraid. Of myself.

What is in your Ideal World?

Its...I want a world...where people can be at peace with each other, and themselves.

What is your Reason?

...To find peace.

-they take a brief second to calm down-

-well, as brief as brief can be for them anyway-


-HEART-

I — fear. I have fear in my heart — sadness — a-and pain. I've lived through a lot and suffered more. I'm — I live nowhere. And when I had a home, my family was never around. Mother left when I was young. Father was — foolish. Weak. He only had the guts to prey on me once he failed. He made me leave. Said he couldn't handle the economic stress. But he led Team Rocket. He made me leave, the fucking liar... and Mother... I don't know if I'll even have the chance to find her again. No one told me about her. I barely remember what she looks like. I ask Father, he'd say that it was none of my business. Where my fucking mother was was none of my business. To this day, I still don't know what happened to her or where she is. Why should I even have hope of finding out?

-he pauses, then laughs dryly, although the way his face is contorted, despite the small grin on it, makes it look like he'd much rather cry-

It's amazing, isn't it? How selfish I sound? It... it isn't just how I sound. It's me. It's who I was, and who I am. I can't just forget that. Not after what I've been through. At least I'm aware of myself enough to know that.

-WORLD-

...Where I can live. Where I can live without fear. Where I'm educated. Where I am my own person, and where I can live well. Where I — where I can't push anyone away.

And I want... love. I want to be loved. I want approval. I want something that tells me I'm wanted, that I exist here. I haven't gotten any of that for years. I don't even know how many, I was gone for so fucking long. I don't even know my age. I just — I just want peace. Silence. Shelter away from noise, where I only have myself and my thoughts — perhaps one friend who can be quiet if I want them to be. I've lived in noise for a long time. You learn to tune it out, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. It lingers; you still get that dull cacaphony in your ear. It gets... frustrating. You can't ever run away from it. For the world to shut up, just for one day, it... it would be a welcome change of pace.

-REASON-

...Survival. Living. Trying to find peace. So that no one can live through what I've lived through. So that no one could have a father like mine. So everyone who can can live a normal life. No one deserves otherwise. Not — not Blue. Not that boy.

Not even me.


-HEART-

I — uh, huh... Hope? Dreams? Good ol' willpower? Those I guess... they've been in my lifetime, at least. Sports, Pokemon, shit like that, all fueled by those things... without those, folks can't be much.

-WORLD-

Unity... fairness... no such thing as a social status... without those, the world's just a big old shitshow, isn't? Entire conflicts and wars could be prevented if people just understood that. I was born rich. I have all the money I could dream of needing, but... it's too much. Why can't others get a slice of the pie? I'm full to bursting of it. I've already got my fair share.

-REASON-

To be the best I can be. To help. That's my reason.

damn, I would have liked to at least had the satisfaction of ramming arondight down the coward's throat before...

-lance just sighs as the sun asked its questions-

What is in your heart

Regret, lots of regret and sorrow, does it make you happy to hear that you monster!?! Another world I failed to save, and this time it was even bigger than Camelot!

How else am I supposed to feel after everything we've gone through as a group!?!

this was all for nothing!

-lance just started screaming at the thing that had ended the universe around him-

What is in your ideal world?

I want a world where stuff like this can never happen again, where when mad men and cowards threaten to destroy the lives of the innocent then the righteous are able to beat them, where the gods and devils do not cruelly treat humanity like a play thing.

I don't want a world of no conflict, but I want a world where by the end of that conflict, the men that are truly on the side of good are standing on top with the evil lying defeated at the bottom regardless of whether they are human, gods, or devils.

What is your reason

because I've seen too many good men die without having their death mean something. A world without conflict would be pointless, but I can no longer stand a world where I see evil like you win, where everything is wiped away and countless innocent are destroyed because of the whims of a few plotters and maniacs.

-Luffy spends the last remaining moments of reality in a boiling cocktail of awe, shock, and complete confusion-

-In this shock, he is unable to maintain his Gear Fourth, and the air he blew into his body rapidly leaves it through his mouth, as he plummets to the ground, exhausted-

-His confusion does not wane, as the world seems to peel itself upwards around him and everybody turns into ghosts.-

-During this time, something resonates in Luffy's head: memories of the others discussing the end of the world.-

-....Was this the end of the world?.....'Cause if it was, it was freaking weird.-

-Then there was nothing. Nothing but Luffy, the weird Sun, and his everlasting confusion, which was beginning to fade as it became clear to him that this was the End. Well, he might not have made it to the end of the Grand Line, but the life he had was better than he could have ever asked f- -

-And then the Sun started yelling at him, and all the confusion came back with a vengeance.-

Suzy looks up upon the sun.

"... My heart? I ..."

she's shuddering hard

but she fights back tears

"My heart, it... it wants them back. It wants them all back. Mom, Dad, John, Cloud, Fen, that canadian boy, Steph, all those people out in the city, all of them."

Her voice shifts from one filled with grief, to one filled with a righteous fury, one untapped for a long time.

"I want them to come back. Even if I have to die for it!"

"My reason..."

she takes a big swallow

"... is so that they can live the lives taken from them."


Samantha stared directly into the globe of light.

She didn't see this. She didn't see this at all.

Her eyes are already wetted as what happens hits her

"Y-you... what did you-?!"

She realizes that, there's no point in yelling at the being. What's done is done.

Her Heart

"... I couldn't see this coming. How couldn't I see this coming? I can see everything..."

her Ideal World

"..."

she gives off a swallow

"... I want everybody to... to stop. To stop fighting, to stop hating each other, all, all that shit. I want... I guess I want a fantasy world, where everyone's just... happy, and successful with whatever they want. Where there aren't any risks involved, where no one's gonna die because somebody didn't like them having more money, or less money, or because their skin was a different color, or because they looked funny..."

"I've seen so many people fucking suffer. So many murders, rapes, genocides, from the whole world. I hate it. Everybody hates it."

...

"... My reason is so no one has to get hurt."

...

(Assassin audibly sighs)

My heart has always followed my reason, and my reason has always striven for my ideal world.

And my ideal world... it does not exist. It cannot exist.

A world without suffering is simply a world without thought. A world without war is simply a world without life. A world where no one has to cry... is a world that will constantly eradicate those who do.

I know from experience that, if I want the world to commit to one ideal, the world will simply pervert that ideal. Nobody can ever live in their ideal world. And anyone that believes that they do is delusional.

And thus - that question has no meaning. There is no such thing as an ideal world. There is only the real one.

Then... In my Heart... In my Heart, I don't want anyone to get hurt anymore. Nobody should have to suffer...

-Places his hand over his heart-

A world where nobody has to hurt each other. A friendly world's what I want. That's my ideal world.

-Smiles, a bit painfully after all that's happened-

That's because my friends are my power. And everyone should be able to feel the same.

-Takes a deep breath and just-

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHH.

-Kosuke turns away from the sun, gripping his fists and just letting out his frustrations-

-Eventually, he comes around to considering the questions-

...Well... If we came so far... I guess I should at least think about the whole... remaking the world thing...

It's not even mine, I oughta make it better for whoever comes next...

-Scratches the back of his head-

...What's in my heart. What's in my heart... Hope? Nah, Haruto's thing is Hope... I guess it don't mean mine can't be either. I'm a Wizard, even if it's only with you Chimera.

-Grins and pats his driver-

And in my ideal world...

-Turns back to face the sun-

In my ideal world, I want one where everyone can hold onto hope. Where nobody'll fall victim to despair. Because I've seen it. What people look like and feel like when they give into it... And I don't wanna see it again.

-Confidently points out to the sun-

I want a hopeful world, you hear me! With extra mayonnaise lovers!

Gulldos: Determination and Perseverance.

What is in your Ideal World?

Winda: I want a world where everyone is caring and understanding of each other, perhaps?

Gulldos: I want Winda's world, but I want it to have smarter birds. Maybe birds that are just as smart as me, at least.

What is your Reason?

Winda: My reason for living is that I give everyone else a reason for living. Sometimes, I wish I had spent more time with Marfise, with Saber, with Eiji, and with Sora. They were good people even if they seemed odd at times. Who knows where they are right now? (Winda's emotions causes the fused Windos body to shed a tear)

Gulldos: That's too hard for me to answer. My reason for living is to see what the next day brings, I think? To see if I get enough food for the day. Is that good enough?

Let me tell you something. It is a story, but it's not my story. Not entirely.

I have never lived my life for myself. I have not cared for myself much at all. When I was young, I scraped by doing small things for others and receiving their charity. I did not entirely deserve it. But it was what I got, and that is how I lived.

I was never destined to be much of anything. I came from a family with no fame or recognition or pride. By all rights, I should have died nameless, noble, and unknown. That would have been the lucky way out. I was not so unfortunate.

My people value self-sacrifice in service of the whole. We venerate selflessness and self-denial. We idolize the meek and those who offer their bodies up so that others may rise to heights they may not have reached.

That is what I have wanted my whole life. I wanted to let myself be a ladder for those more unlucky than I was. I was raised to love ideas like that. And you know, I... I got close.

Most people don't get close to their ideals. And that is fine, there is nothing wrong with that. True nobility and greatness comes not from achievement; it comes from effort and sincerity. Most people become noble and they become great.

But I... I was different. I was presented with the possibility of a lifetime. A girl younger than I was with no sense of anything. Alone and afraid and forgotten despite her riches and her status. She was left with nothing even when she was very young.

I was given a chance to help her. I gave up my chances and I gave them to her. I knelt down and I let her climb on top of me and up to greatness. And she did the same for me. Things worked.

But things didn't end quite that happily. My world died. Our people were slaughtered, and the two of us were among the only ones left. We were selfish, and we kept to ourselves. We could have tried to save others, but we did not. And that is a failing on both of our souls.

She was handpicked by a resplendent man, the God of War. She was chosen to be a god alongside him. She was to be humanity's champion with him at her side.

I was spurned by that War God. I was cast out, but he made her cast me out. And I bowed my head and I left. I abandoned the person I'd devoted myself to for fear of losing my own life.

You ask me what's in my heart. And I will tell you. My heart is full of shame and despair. I wanted nothing more than to be the vessel for my people's ideals. And when it counted most, I became selfish. I rejected the principles I revered.

I wanted to help the needy. I wanted to sacrifice myself for others. I wanted to uplift the weak and the suffering. I wanted to bring all of us together and put us towards a common goal. I wanted to be a piece of the grand tapestry of our people. That is what I wanted.

I was willing to die for it when I was young. I should have been willing to die for it later, but I blinked. And now, I try my best to keep my eyes open and never give in to my self interest. My life is for the service of others. I will never abandon that now. If I do, I would hope that I would die.

What then remains? What is left? My grand ideas have withered into dust. And that... hurts. But I do not let that discourage me. Do you know what I do instead of that? I look to the future.

In the distant, hazy years beyond now, I see hope. I see a time in which I did what I needed to do. I see a time where maybe I am dead. I see a time where maybe I am alive. Where I am does not matter. What does matter is that people have laid down their enmity and their suspicion. I see a world where people love each other deeply and truely. I see a world where people endure great suffering for their companions. I see a world where people work toward their common goals. Common goals of equality, love, sacrifice, honor, and unity.

I see a world where my mistakes of the past are undone. I see a world where I can reunite with those I wronged. I see a world where I can embrace them and work to fix my mistakes.

I see a world where they can do the same.

I see a world where fixing never ends. I see a world where greatness is what all aspire to with equal relish. I see a world where the perfect ideal of goodness is acknowledged to be impossible. I see a world where that fact is ignored. I see a world where practicality is not more important than love.

I know not why I think these things. It would be a cheap and incomplete answer to say that my people taught me these things. They did, partially. But not entirely. I believe that these ideas are universal. I believe that these are goals all should look up to and measure themselves. I believe that there is honor in imperfection.

The people I have wronged taught this to me. Through the suffering I wrought, I see the correct way forward. I do this and I think this because I want to live up to them. I want to live up to the moral giants I looked up to when I was young.

I want to ensure that all people can love without fear of suffering. That is the highest, purest thing I can aspire to. I could say that it's merely the right thing to do. That would be a half-truth.

It is, simply, what I am meant to do. I am an instrument for others. I will do what I can for them. I am unimportant.

I want to make certain that the gifts I received can be shared by all. I want to make certain that the gifts I did not receive can be shared by all.

I want a better world than the one I found. That is all.
