Yuna ' s Quest 012 : In Such A Place . Yuna and Lightning are travelling together when they receive a call from Cosmos to return to Order ' s Sanctuary . Lightning is irritated by being called back so soon after being sent out , but Yuna tells her that this means it must be important . The two set out and encounter Golbez , who tells them he has seen others returning as well . Yuna and Lightning ask why he didn ' t fight them , and Golbez explains it would be foolish to fight the enemy at their camp – out here , though , is another matter . Yuna battles Golbez , and he departs , musing aloud that Cosmos has begun her plan and the warriors who are to carry it out must be strong . Vaan arrives and the three continue on , meeting with Laguna , Tifa and Kain at the Interdimensional Rift . Kain points out that Laguna was leading Tifa in the wrong direction , and when Vaan points out he ' s holding his map upside - down , Laguna turns it around and leads the group in the " proper " direction . Vaan ' s Quest 012 : A Voice to Call Back . Vaan receives a call from Cosmos to return to Order ' s Sanctuary , and on his way back finds Tidus . Vaan asks if Tidus wants a fight and Tidus reluctantly challenges him , but first asks how much Vaan has remembered . The two fight , and afterwards Tidus recovers some of his memories , asking if Vaan knows someone called Jecht , but Tidus leaves before Vaan can explain more . Vaan continues on and meets with Yuna and Lightning , where he asks Yuna if she knows a boy his age who might be asking about Jecht . Yuna asks Vaan whether the boy was upbeat and cheerful , but his reply that his opponent was sad confuses Yuna , who decides to ask Jecht who it could be later . Kain ' s Quest 012 : A Dragoon ' s Betrayal . After striking down Bartz , Kain reflects that his plan to target Lightning next has to be postponed with Exdeath pursuing him . Worried about the Warriors of Chaos finding the place he is keeping his fallen comrades , Kain finds Ultimecia , who asks what he was speaking to Golbez about earlier , and says that Kain now slays friend and foe alike . Kain refuses to answer , and the two battle . Squall arrives and tells Kain that the horde of manikins is growing larger . Kain battles Squall , and strikes him down . Tidus enters and asks if Kain is revealing killing his own allies , and whether his father , Jecht , is a target . Kain refuses to confirm this , but tells Tidus that he should hurry if he wishes to fight Jecht before Kain does . Kain continues on to Ultimecia ' s Castle , where he senses another warrior nearby , and thinks he must get to as many as he can before the manikins overwhelm them . Tidus ' Quest 012 : A Dream in Chaos . A new addition to the cycle , Tidus cannot remember anything except a deep hatred for an unknown figure in his past . Having remembered the name " Jecht " after his fight with Vaan , Tidus speaks to Cloud as he tries to make his way to see Chaos , telling Cloud the memory is still blurred but that he remembers Jecht is his father . Cloud reflects that memory can give Tidus a reason to fight , but lacking a memory has its benefits as well . The Emperor speaks to Tidus , who tells him that he knows his father Jecht is fighting for Cosmos , but cannot remember anything else . To help him recover more memories , the Emperor invites Tidus to fight him , secretly wondering if this development could lead him to further power . After the battle Tidus remembers clearly that he hates Jecht and wants to defeat him , and the Emperor sends him to find Jecht so he can fulfill his desire . Cloud ' s Quest 012 : You Should Have Disappeared . Having been summoned to serve Chaos alongside Sephiroth , Cloud participated in the cycle faithfully until he saw Tifa fighting for Cosmos . Sephiroth speaks to Kefka about his desire to recover his lost memories , and though Kefka doesn ' t see the point of old memories , he tells Sephiroth that fighting someone from his own world will make him see things differently . Sephiroth doesn ' t understand his meaning and tracks down Cloud , intending to fight him . Before they can begin , Garland arrives , telling the two fighting between allies will not be tolerated as the loser will vanish . Sephiroth departs but Cloud challenges Garland , wishing to confirm the truth of his words . They battle but Garland holds back , frustrating Cloud . Garland tells them that either of them killing the other would be pointless , and that Cloud ' s actions – not killing enemies , fighting his allies – have not gone unnoticed . Cecil ' s Quest 012 : A Re - encounter With a Close Friend . Having been summoned just this cycle , Cecil has only a few faint memories of his home . When Vaan mentions airships , Cecil ' s memory is sparked , and he goes to see Kain . Cecil tells Kain that they lead the Dragoons and Red Wings of Baron , and are childhood friends . Kain is pleased that Cecil has begun to remember , and the two have a sparring match in honor of Cecil ' s recovered memories . Afterwards , Cecil is frustrated by his other memories still being hazy , but Kain assures him that in time they will return as well . Lightning ' s Quest 012 : One Can Fight Together . Having found Firion ' s wild rose , but unaware of whose it is , Lightning carries it for a time , often going off alone to take it out and look at it in private . Feeling the rose has some connection to a forgotten memory , Lightning is found by Yuna , who worries that Lightning is spending too much time alone . On another such occasion , Exdeath finds her , and mocks Lightning ' s dependence on a flower for memory . The two fight , and as Exdeath leaves , Lightning tells Yuna she has recovered more of her memories of her own world , and that her mission in this world – to fight for the gods as decreed by fate – is similar to something she was tasked with in her world . Yuna tells Lightning she can rely on her allies in this world to support her , and can think of them as friends . Lightning thanks Yuna for her help and tells her to refer to her as " Light " . Bartz ' s Quest 012 : Mimicry And a Promise . Bartz travels with Laguna and Jecht looking for treasure , but when they fail to make progress they take a break . Laguna offers to go ahead and look around , but Bartz firsts asks Laguna to fight him , so he can learn to mimic Laguna ' s attacks . The two fight , Laguna only using his Ragnarok Blade HP attack so Bartz can learn to copy it . Bartz asks Jecht to fight him so he can try out what he ' s learned and also learn to mimic Jecht , but Jecht tells Bartz he ' ll teach him later since his skills are harder to copy . The two find a treasure chest , and satisfied , return to their friends . Squall ' s Quest 012 : The Shadow I Know I Saw . With Vaan and Laguna missing , Squall and the Onion Knight are left behind to search for them . The two discuss that Vaan and Laguna share the problem of talking too much , and when the Onion Knight asks if Squall knows Laguna he denies this , saying it doesn ' t matter to Laguna who he ' s speaking to . They split up to search , and Squall comes across Cloud . Cloud asks if Squall remembers him from their previous battle , and when Squall says they ' ve never met Cloud alludes to the cycle of defeat erasing his memories . The two battle , and Cloud departs . Afterwards Squall sees Laguna and calls out to him , but Laguna replies from behind him . Squall turns to look at where he thought he saw Laguna , but the figure is gone . Squall brushes off the encounter as him seeing a shadow , but the ending narration reveals that it was a manikin , and the first sign of their impending attack . Firion ' s Quest 012 : A Small Flower . Having found a flower with Laguna and Squall that Laguna called a " wild rose " , Firion feels the words have some significance to him , but cannot remember . Turning back to find out why the other warriors are not following them , Firion comes across the Onion Knight , who sees Terra approaching . Under Kefka ' s mind control , Terra attacks them , and flees when defeated . Firion discusses the wild rose ' s connection to his memories with the Onion Knight , and the two head back to Laguna and Squall . However , once they arrive , Firion realizes that he has lost the rose , and upon looking for it discovers that Lightning has picked it up . Sephiroth ' s Quest 012 : The Hero ' s Memory . Having recovered much of his memory from his fights with Cloud and Tifa , Sephiroth now recalls that his " Mother " intended to destroy the planet , and remembers the Lifestream , which circles the spirit energy of the dead around the planet to be reborn in a new vessel . Sephiroth thinks the purification of warriors in this war is the same , and thus there may have been thousands of fallen warriors waiting to have their spirits reborn into the cycle . Sephiroth wonders whether , if he took his own life , his energy would join theirs as a fallen warrior , or if he would be reborn again without memories as has happened this cycle already . When Exdeath tells Sephiroth that the manikins are mindless vessels found in the Rift , Sephiroth wonders if this is the fate of those fallen warriors . Sephiroth commits suicide , represented in - game by him fighting another Sephiroth , and wonders what fate awaits his spirit and body in the next cycle before he perishes . The Emperor witnesses this and tells Garland , and the two are reminded of Gabranth ' s fate – when he tried to take his own life in a past cycle he was cast into the Rift . However , this did not happen to Sephiroth , and they wonder if the arrival of the manikins and the opening of a passage to the Rift to call them is the reason , their presence disrupting the cycle ' s established order . Cloud of Darkness ' Quest 013 : The Power of Destruction . The Cloud of Darkness kidnaps Terra as Kefka planned , but questions the point when they have the manikins to fight for them . Kefka claims that the manikins ' numbers are dwindling , and any source of power the Warriors of Chaos can use once Cosmos dies will be valuable . Kefka leaves , and Terra awakens , unable to control her power . The Cloud of Darkness fights her to see how strong she is , and Terra collapses . The Cloud of Darkness ponders if Terra is driven to fight for the gods or by her own desires , and senses the Onion Knight approach , wondering if his heart is stronger now and if it can manifest his Crystal for him . Sephiroth ' s Quest 013 : Shape of the World . Sephiroth awakens in the 13th cycle , and though he was purified after taking his own life in the previous cycle , his memories of it remain , albeit fuzzy . Investigating whether Cloud is still a warrior for Chaos , Sephiroth is told by the Emperor that Cloud now fights for Cosmos , and that his memories will return if he fights Cloud and allows Cloud to obtain his Crystal . Sephiroth tracks down Firion , Cecil and Tidus , and while he has no desire to fight them since they aren ' t from his world , he battles Firion to claim his wild rose . Remembering that in the previous cycle Cloud was hesitant to fight , Sephiroth steals Firion ' s rose , intending to use it to goad Cloud into fighting him . Firion pursues him alone to reclaim it . Cecil ' s Quest 013 : Even I Don ' t Remember It . After defeating Golbez and claiming his Crystal , Cecil reunites with Tidus , Cloud , Onion Knight and Terra . They all have their Crystals , and Cecil thanks Tidus for his advice to confront Golbez that allowed him to obtain it . The group also reflects that it wasn ' t until they realized their personal reasons for fighting , aside from the bidding of the gods , that the Crystals appeared , and collecting them put their previously troubled minds at ease . Kuja appears and tells the group that Firion is walking into the Emperor ' s trap , as he hates the Emperor and wishes to see his plans ruined . Cloud and Tidus go to help Firion while Terra battles Kuja , but is defeated . Cecil steps forward and asks if Kuja has anything in the world , friends or hopes , to hold onto like they do , but Kuja says he has no need for them as they ' re just ambiguities conjured by faded memories . The two battle , and Kuja is defeated . Terra admits Kuja ' s words shook her faith , but Cecil assures her that the bonds they ' ve forged are real , as they ' ve been forged fighting together in this world , not from their memories . Gilgamesh ' s Quest 000 : End of a Hero ' s Delusion . Gilgamesh finds his way back out of the Rift and returns to where he fought Bartz . Instead , he finds Exdeath , and struggles to remember him . Exdeath tells Gilgamesh his name , but Gilgamesh mistakes him for Enkidu and challenges him , rejoicing in being " reunited " with his lost friend and cheering about their past battles . The two battle several times , Gilgamesh recovering his memories as he fights until realizes who Exdeath really is , causing the warlock to mock him . After a third battle Gilgamesh is consumed by a portal to the Rift , Exdeath noting that his fate to wander it forever suits him . The ending narration saying that it is unknown how Gilgamesh came into the cycle , by Exdeath or Chaos , and it is unknown when or if he will make his way back again . Gilgamesh ' s Quest 000 : From the Interdimensional Rift . Finding his way back into World B again , Gilgamesh finds himself aboard the Prima Vista , where he encounters Prishe . A case of mistaken identity leads to Gilgamesh declaring himself a " Chaos warrior " , and when he speaks of finding his archenemy , Prishe assumes that he means her , as one of Cosmos ' s best warriors . The two battle , but when Prishe is unsatisfied , she challenges him again . Before Gilgamesh can accept , however , a portal to the Rift consumes him , Prishe surprised by its appearance . She reports what she saw to Shantotto , who notes she should keep the Rift ' s existence in mind . The ending narration wonders when Gilgamesh will appear in the cycles of war again , something even Chaos and Cosmos cannot be certain of . Shantotto ' s Quest 000 : The Seeker ' s Destination . Having spent some time in World B fighting for Cosmos , Shantotto has discovered the purification of fallen warriors . When Prishe reports seeing Gilgamesh drawn into the Rift , Shantotto leaves Cosmos , the loss of her memories hindering her research on magic . Seeking to enter the Rift to escape the cycle , Shantotto destroys a Gateway entirely rather than just releasing it . Garland confronts her , surprised by her actions , and Shantotto explains that the Gateways are unstable spaces that could perhaps open a portal to the Rift when destroyed . Garland is outraged by her arrogance , claiming there is no escape from the cycle , and the two fight . In the aftermath of the battle , a portal to the Rift opens . Garland warns Shantotto that she will be trapped forever if she enters the Rift , but Shantotto laughs that he said the same about escaping from the cycle , and enters the portal . The ending narration says Shantotto was never seen again , but rarely , fluctuations in space would appear to allow another to where she now exists , alluding to the Gateway in Confessions of the Creator that leads to Shantotto . Gabranth ' s Quest 000 : One Who Faces Hell . Having doubts over the war , Gabranth went to challenge Cosmos alone , and battled Shantotto to confront the goddess . Gabranth suddenly notes that he and Shantotto have fought before , and asks if Shantotto remembers him . Gabranth realizes that her memories have been erased so they will fight mindlessly , and tells Shantotto to ask Cosmos about the cycle and purification of fallen warriors . Deciding that there is no further point to hating an enemy or battling in a war such as this , Gabranth leaves and encounters Garland and the Emperor , who tell him that the endless war is the fate of a warrior and that they cannot defy the will of a god , even if they objected to his mission for them . Gabranth says he will kill anyone who insists on making him fight , and when Garland asks if he means Chaos as well , the two fight . Garland encourages Gabranth to use all his strength , so he will not be purified in the next cycle and may be freed from the war as he wishes . Gabranth declares he will destroy himself then , but is suddenly pulled into a portal to the Rift . Garland tells the Emperor this is the fate of one who tries to defy the gods - they are ejected from the cycle , and when they submit to the will of the gods again they will then be reborn into the cycle . Gabranth awakens in a hell dimension , wondering if he has truly escaped . The ending narration reveals that Gabranth remained in the hell dimension as an observer to the war , but when fluctuations in space allowed a few warriors to find him , he gave them trials to test their resolve before allowing them to return to the cycle . Vaan ' s Quest ? ? ? : The Strayed Sky Pirate . A recent recruit for Cosmos , Vaan is travelling when he finds an odd Gateway . He enters it , but cannot find the exit . Gabranth finds him and says he will show Vaan the way out if Vaan battles him . Vaan accepts , and Gabranth notes that Vaan has strength and asks what he did to be sent here . Vaan says he wasn ' t sent , he found this place by accident , and Gabranth explains the dimension they are in is disconnected from the cycles of battle until they fight their way back , and it is a pointless battle . Vaan rejects this and Gabranth surmises he is a new warrior who does not realize the true nature of the war yet . They fight again , and Gabranth tells Vaan how he fought with pride for the gods , but was cast aside when he tried to question his role . Vaan says that staying here is just as pointless as fighting , and they fight a third time . Gabranth then shows Vaan the exit as promised , but refuses to leave with him , choosing to remain behind to guard the dimension . Gabranth tells Vaan others often stray into the dimension and will need the same guidance that Vaan needed – and like him , Gabranth will make them fight to earn it . Prishe ' s Quest 000 : The Defeat of Cosmos . After several cycles in which Cosmos has lost and Shinryu has purified her warriors , Garland arrives at Order ' s Sanctuary . Cosmos asks if the warrior who enjoys eternal conflict is tired of the cycles , but Garland replies he merely wishes to see the truth of the cycles and the purification with his own eyes - specifically , if a God would be purified as well . Cosmos accepts Garland ' s choice of action , saying that if she perishes her summoned warriors will vanish from the world . Garland questions her acceptance of this , and Cosmos says that to be a Goddess of Harmony in this world is the same as a Goddess of Death . Meanwhile at the Empyreal Paradox , Gabranth challenges Prishe to a battle . Gabranth is defeated , but he laughs he was merely buying time , as by now Cosmos should have fallen and soon her warriors will vanish . The Warrior of Light and Prishe begin to fade away , Prishe vanishing first encouraging the Warrior to remember his name , even when he fades away . The Warrior races back to Order ' s Sanctuary , but is unable to make it before he too fades . The ending narration describes that the fates of those who vanished with Cosmos ' s death is something even the Great Will does not know , but one of them , the Warrior of Light , did not vanish like the rest and eventually reappeared .
