Dissidia: Final Fantasy

"Zidane: Today's not a good day for a date."

"Zidane:(Guys? I don't---What should I do?)"

"Zidane: Guys..."

"Kuja:I'll be looking forwards to your solo performance."

"Zidane: Shut up!"

"Kuja: Your friends will get hurt, and there is nothing you can do."

"Zidane: Grr..."

"Kuja: As one who shares your fate, I simply had to see how your heart would break upon realizing how powerless you truely are. Like a bird trapped in cage, you can only listen as they scream in terror..."

"Zidane: What?"

"Kuja: Don't like being alone? What would you do if you were to lose that which you were trying to protect?"

"Zidane: Just answer"

"Kuja: You're still worried about others in this situation? Such recklessness."

"Zidane: So it's all your fault, huh...What did you do to my friends?"

"Kuja: You have such a considerate friend. He didn't even think twice before delivering you to my trap."

"Zidane: Kuja!"

"Kuja: We finally meet again."

"Cid of the Lufaine: Zidane, the roving thief, is in search of his crystal. After parting ways with Squall, he continues on his exciting adventure with his partner, Bartz. But the strong bond between the two travelers is about to be threatened by deadly music. Will he find his true treasure beyond the trails that await him?"

"Ultimecia: "Everything is fated to disappear...I." (dies)"

"Cid of the Lufaine: Fighting for his friends--even from a distance, even if alone. It was his resolve to fight alone that brought him the crystal. It's brilliance shines the way to his friend in distress. They hurry under the light. To save their comrade's precious life"

"Ultimecia: You too shall soon realize...Time, it will not wait. No matter how hard you hold on...it escapes you..."

"Squall: Your ability to mess with time--is coming to an end!"

"Ultimecia: So you would rather die hard?"

"[Squall fights off the arrows]"

"Ultimecia: Shall fade."

"[She ends the Compression]"

"Ultimecia (Walking past Squall as she conjures energy arrows to surround him): Foolish boy. Everything is an illusion. Your hopes, your friends--Your life itself--"

"[Time freezes with only Ultimecia mobile within her Time Compression.]"

"Ultimecia: Time!"

"[Ready his attack when...]"

"Squall: How's this?"

"[Ultimecia dodges]"

"Squall: I've only came to fulfill a promise. It's because of them that I can't allow myself to stop. I know that I'm not alone. That's why I can fight by myself!"

"Ultimecia: So you have come--having abandoning your comrades onto to satisfy your own desires."

"Squall: It's not as simple as you might think."

"[She leaves.]"

"Ultimecia: Has fear taken hold of you?--I understand. I'll neither run nor hide. I shall waiting until the time comes."

"[Squall refuses to fight.]"

"Ultimecia: You're doing well. Such is life on the battlefield. Now, let me see---the strength of your pride!"

"Squall: (Think nothing of them?)"

"Ultimecia: Deep inside your heart, you trust no one. That is why you act alone, is it not? By now, Kuja should be having his way with Zidane and Bartz. And you did not even try to go save them. Does that not prove you think nothing of them?"

"Squall: I have abandoned my friends!?"

"Ultimecia: Yes, the determination to stubbornly follow your own path. The merciless heart that abandons friends! That is what will lead you to your crystal."

"Squall: Ruthless?"

"Ultimecia: I have been waiting for you...to obtain that level of ruthless determination."

"Squall: Ultimecia!"

"["Cosmos" reveals herself to be...]"

""Cosmos":Take out your sword, Squall. Are you finally strong enough to fight me?"

""Cosmos":(Revealed as a guise): No, you are doing fine."

"Squall: That goes without saying. Or do you want me to swear it on this charm?"

""Cosmos": Yes...Ultimecia, the witch who controls time. Defeat her, and the crystal shall be yours. It is a long and lonely road. Will you be able to maintain your lofty dedication to solitude?"
