"I find this rain quite pleasant. It feels as though raindrops are blessing
our victory..." |
| |
"How was Burmecia?" (auctioneer)
"Not bad... Better if I didn't have to see those vermin and the ugly elephant-lady. They
offend my senses."
"You must be tired." (auctioneer)
"It's not over yet. The rest of the vermin must be done away with. ... By the way, did
you see a pretty lady in the crowd today?"
"A pretty lady? Shall I arrange a meeting?" (auctioneer)
"There's no need. The canary I've been after... She flew into my cage of her own free will.
Never would I have imagined running into you in a place like this. It must be fate. But you cannot rest your
wings yet... Fly home to your mother, my little canary. I, too, will welcome you home with open arms." |

"Oh, how I've longed for this day... the day I might finally cast away
this mask to reveal my true self. Now it no longer matters if the Iifa Tree is liberated. It means nothing
to me! The tree is so beautiful. Its beauty becomes the great mother tree that lives among the stars!" |
| |
|
"The weak lose their freedom to the strong. Such is the way of the strong.
And it is the providence of nature that only the strong survive. That's why I needed strength. I learned of
powers that would daunt even him... over ten years ago. Such a long time... Now my forces are ready to strike!" |

"Was it really you who persuaded my mother to start the war - " (Garnet)
" - the war that threw the entire Mist Continent into chaos?"
"And you made everyone... the black mages into instruments of war!?" (Vivi)
"Oh, dear... The princess has such a little bloodthirsty little puppet. I don't have
the power to do such a thing. I just gave them a little recipe. Begin with broth of Mist, add fermented souls,
and boil... Then, pour genuine black magic into a mixing bowl and heat to - "
"Stop it!" (Vivi)
"I'm not done telling how to make soulless toys out of the dregs of souls!"
"Dregs of souls? You mean Mist!?" (Zidane)
"First, you don't want to listen, now you start asking questions? Oh, brother...
But you're not ready yet!"
"Why, you - don't feel anything? Taking the lives of so many..." (Garnet)
"Spare me the lecture. Lives come and go all the time. What's the big deal? Speaking of
warmongers, why... what about that mother of yours, Princess? She said she won't feel alive until she has
everything! It breaks my heart to see such greed! The war was my fault? No, no! Your mother wanted it! All I
did was give her a little push!"
"Liar! My mother was sweet and kind. You changed her!" (Garnet)
"Mwahaha... So the curtain rises! Perfect, my canary. Let me show you the truth about
your mother! First Act: The End of the Ugly Desire. It's showtime!"
"I-I can't believe it." (Garnet)
"Your mother isn't satisfied with just one continent! Her ugliness and stupidity are
truly impressive. Ahhh. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen."
|

|
"Blood? Ahahah! Bahamut... power, mobility... You are truly the best!
You even hurt me... a little. And you, Brahne, your tragic part comes to an end. I'm sure you'll enjoy the
second act from your soul's hellish prison, since the stage will be your former home! The final act will take
us away from Gaia, and I will kill my nemesis... with my own hand!" |
| |
"Peace is but a shadow of death,
Desesperate to forget its painful past...
Though we hope for promising years.
After shedding a thousand tears,
Yesterday's sorrow constantly nears.
And while the moon still shines blue,
By dawn, it will turn to scarlet hue.
What an auspicious day for Alexandria.
Garnet's ascension to the throne brought hope and peace to this kingdom. The people are overjoyed; they believe
a wonderful future is ahead of them... But the celebration isn't over yet. It's time to really light things
up! Your former master is here, Bahamut. Play a requiem for her and all of Alexandria!" |
| |
|
"What can that old fool do to me!? He can't kill me! Nothing can! ...Besides,
he's too late. The wheels are already in motion. I won't let him interfere." |
| |
"Kuja, you're dead!" (Zidane)
"Oh dear, was it something I said?"
|
| |
|
"It really isn't my kind of place. You see, there's an anti-magic barrier
around the place. And I want to send you because you're too stupid to use magic." |
| |
"Spare me the emotional reunion please! Now go stand over there with
your friends."
"You'd better keep your promise, Kuja!" (Zidane)
"Of course. You needn't worry one bit." |
| |
|
"So how do you like the special suites I resserved for each of you? By the
way, Zidane is out running an errand for me in return for your safety. But I hate keeping promises... and I
so love deceit... So I thought I would give you a special death to remember me by. My palace is home to a
magnificent hourglass... As its sand falls, the floors of your rooms slowly opens. Well, isn't this a brilliant
idea? Your lives will be spared if the hourglass is reset. If Zidane comes back in time, that is. Oops, just ten
more minutes. Better start praying. Farewell, my sweet loveable morons." |

"I need an eidolon stronger than Alexander. Strong enough to bury Garland.
His powers are so strong I don't even come close. I must destroy him before Terra's plan is activated, or my
soul will no longer be my own! Who cares if she lives? I need that eidolon!" |
| |
|
"Just you wait, Garland. And you too Zidane. I'll exact sweet revenge
upon you both for insulting me!" |
| |
"I must say... I truly love you all. You not only broke the seal to Terra, but
did me the favour of defeating Garland! Zidane, you truly are an extraordinary Genome, deserving of my love!"
"What are you doing here, Kuja?" (Zidane)
"That's not a very nice way to greet your brother."
"Shut up! You're no brother of mine!" (Zidane)
"Oh, such ferocity... Master Garland, he intends to fight Terra."
"Kuja, what are you scheming?" (Garland)
"Scheming? Me? Watch me as I defeat these enemies of Terra!" |
| |
"When it fought Bahamut at the Iifa Tree, the Invincible drew in a powerful
spirit... Can you guess to whom it belonged?"
"No..." (Garnet)
"That's right! It was your mother's soul. A wretched soul that clung to life to the bitter
end. The souls trapped inside the Invincible welcomed me with open arms. They were fed up with being your prisoners,
Garland. So, Master Garland. You are no longer needed. And after you've worked so hard... I shall rule Terra and
Gaia with my unconditional love from now on..."
"Your power is meaningless." (Garland)
"Now, it's your turn... Should I kill you quickly to show my appreciation for all you've
done? Or should I kill you slowly and painfully to show you my love... Oh, I've got a great idea! How's this?
I'll make you pillars for my castle! You'll all decorate my castle as a symbol of my eternal kingdom... How do
you like that?"
"You could never build an eternal kingdom... Do you think a defect like you could last
forever...? I built you only to last until the worthy Genome, Zidane, grew. It was too dangerous to let you
last longer than that. There's a limit on your life... You'll be dead soon... Even as you die, you'll have died
without ever leaving your mark on the world..." (Garland)
"H-ha haha... What an interesting lie. You're telling me that my life will end soon?
Ha ha ha... Nice try, Garland, but I won't fall for your silly tricks... Garland? Garland!? Answer me!"
"You were created to destroy. You are a mortal..." (Garland)
"A mortal!? ...I'm finished? I don't believe you! Why should I believe such a silly
story! You're telling me that I'll die soon, now that I'm more powerful than anyone? I'm gonna... die!? Lose
my soul...? Ha... hahahahahaha! What comedy! Zidane, isn't it hilarious!? I'll die just like the black mages I
so despise! I single-handedly brought chaos into Gaia, but in the end, I'm nothing but a worthless doll!"
"Kuja... Kuja?" (Zidane)
"...I won't let it happen. I won't... I won't let this world exist without me!" |
| |
|
"I'm gonna die anyway. I won't have to be afraid anymore. But I'm not
gonna die alone." |
| |
"You stand before the final dimension, and I am the darkness of eternity...
All life bears death from birth. Life fears death, but lives only to die. It starts with anxiety. Anxiety
becomes fear. Fear leads to anger... anger leads to hate... hate leads to suffering... The only cure for this
fear is total destruction. Kuja was a victim of his own fear. He concluded he could only save himself by
destroying the origin of all things - the crystal... Now, the theory is undeniable. Kuja's action proves it.
All things live to perish. At last, life has uncovered this truth. Now, it is time to end this world. I
exist for one purpose... To return everything back to the zero world, where there is no life and no crystal
to give life. In a world of nothing, fear does not exist. This is the world that all life desires." (Necron)
"Who the hell do you think you are!? You're not ending anything! Never, not as long as
we have the will to live!" (Zidane)
"Foolish creature, your fears have already deluded you. One day, you will choose destruction
over existence, as Kuja did. When he sought to destroy the crystal, the purpose of life ended. Now come... enter
the zero world that you desire." (Necron)
"No! We'll destroy you and prove you wrong! And through our memories, future generations
will see that we can overcome fear! ... We can't give up now! We have to fight together. Even if we lose,
it doesn't matter... Our memories will live on inside others. So, even if we are born to die, I'm not afraid.
I'm gonna live!" (Zidane)
"Why defy your fate? Is the will to live so powerful? This is not the end. I am eternal.
As long as there is life and death." (Necron) |

"Farewell, Zidane..." (Kuja's voice)
"... Kuja's still alive. I can't just leave him." (Zidane)
"This is ludicrous. Just because you two are from the same planet doesn't mean - " (Steiner)
"No, that's not the reason." (Zidane)
"Come on, Zidane! Why are you doing this?" (Eiko)
"Because... because I might've done the same thing if I were in his shoes. I probably
would've fought against you guys and wreaked havoc in Gaia like he did... I know it sounds crazy... but I know
deep inside, I have to do this... I can't just leave him. There's no way I could live with myself. I'm going." (Zidane)
"You're making a big mistake!" (Steiner)
"Maybe... But we all have to make big decisions in life sometimes. For me, now's that time.
I have to face up to it, just like Vivi did when he confronted his fears to find out about himself. You
definitely taught me to take life more seriously." (Zidane)
"Kuja, do you hear me? I'm coming to get you." (Zidane)
"You still have time... Forget about me and go."
"Just shut up and stay where you are!" (Zidane)
"... I don't understand you... What are you doing here? I thought I told you to go..."
"Wouldn't you do the same for me if you knew I was dying?" (Zidane)
"..."
"...Never mind." (Zidane)
"Your comrades were able to escape?"
"Yeah... I knew you had something to do with it." (Zidane)
"... I'm glad they made it."
"Well, it's our turn to get moving." (Zidane)
"...I don't deserve to live after all what I've done. I'm useless to this world."
"No one's useless... You helped us escape, remember?" Zidane
"After you guys beat me, I had nothing left... nothing more to lose. Then, I finally
realised what it meant to live... I guess I was too late."
"!!? Hey! Don't you go dying on me, alright!?" (Zidane) |
| |
|
"Kuja... what you did was wrong... But you gave us all one thing... hope...
we were all created for the wrong reason, but you alone defied your fate. We do not want to forget this. We
want your memory to live on forever... to remind
us that we were not created for the wrong reason... that our life has meaning." (Mikoto) |
