Fragment / Paradox Ending ' Okay . So ultimately , it was the Academy themselves who built Atlas ? ' Transcript : A Giant Mistake . ' Looks like it , ' replied Serah , scanning the data they had just recovered . ' It started when the forces who were trying to restore the old Cocoon reactivated the dormant fal ' Cie . ' ' Atlas was a weapon built to protect humans from the fal ' Cie ? ' ' Yeah . . . ' said Serah , before lapsing into silence . Noel followed her gaze skyward . If the Academy had not built Atlas , more and more of the fal ' Cie would have been awakened by the other side . But even so , was there no other way to counter the threat ? Long ago , in ancient times , Cocoon and Pulse fought a terrible war . Two women called Fang and Vanille released a monster and began to march on Cocoon . At that moment , the goddess unleashed a powerful spell and turned them into crystal statues . Their slumbering forms were placed in a temple in Oerba , which , in time , was lifted up into Cocoon itself . There they slept until , hundreds of years later , a young girl wandered into the temple and was made a l ' Cie . Transcript : Vanille ' s Truth . The girl ' s name was Serah . This was the moment that marked the beginning of the thirteen days of the Purge . It all began with a chance meeting with a single flan . Mog translated from the flan tongue to human speak , and back again . The flan had some incredible news . ' The true Royal Ripeness has been born , kupo ! ' ( Although , the flan didn ' t really say ' kupo . ' ) Transcript : Mog ' s Marvelous Flan Plan . ' Does that mean we failed ? We didn ' t change history after all ? ' asked Noel . Mog nodded in response . Noel and Serah looked grave . How could they defeat the greatest flan that ever lived ? It was even more powerful than the original Royal Ripeness ! The situation was bleak indeed . Unless . . . ' I have an idea , kupo ! Mog can save the day , kupo ! ' Noel and Serah had never seen Mog so confident . They looked at each other gloomily . They weren ' t looking forward to hearing Mog ' s idea . . . ' Let ' s go ! ' barks the officer . At his command , several soldiers pound into the elevator . This is Augusta Tower , central information processing facility . The men are members of the resistance . Transcript : Test Subjects . It is 400 AF . After the Cie ' th incident , the Proto fal ' Cie Adam now rules Academia . Adam is manufacturing an army of military fal ' Cie which it will use to control the human population . But humanity is fighting back . The soldiers have infiltrated the tower in an attempt to steal the machines ' crystal supply and put a halt to the fal ' Cie population . At the same time , something is changing inside the captive Noel and Serah . . . Snow was riding the highways of time when he came across a gate projecting strange , flickering images — images showing Serah . Transcript : The Future Is Hope . Snow saw her receiving an artefact from an unknown young woman , hesitant , unsure of the gift . Then as he watched , the scene changed , and changed again , and again , a tumbling kaleidoscope of visions , countless fragments of histories Snow had never known . ' Damn ! Someone is trying to rewrite history ! ' Snow realized he had to act fast . He leaped onto Shiva and headed for the gate . A new adventure was just beginning — the hunt for the thirteen crystals ! Yeul knows that this was the world she wanted . ' Noel is here . I ' m here . That ' s all I need . No Caius . Just us . We can start over again , and this time make it better . ' Transcript : Beneath a Timeless Sky . But Noel wants more . He wants a future . He wants everything . People , life , all of it , the bad as well as the good . Yeul lifts her head . ' If that ' s what Noel wants , then I want it , too . Look , Noel , a star is falling . A new door is open . Perhaps beyond it , the real future is waiting . . . ' Across Noel ' s mind flitted one of Caius ' s memories . A memory from a thousand years ago : Caius fighting a warrior and losing , pushed to the brink of defeat . Transcript : Heir to Chaos . But the gods refused to bless either of them , and the warrior was called to Valhalla before the duel reached its climax . Caius might have been saved from his curse of eternity . Instead , he had to wait . Wait for the birth of Noel . Noel ' s eyes snapped open . ' You make your own myths , Caius . But I ' m going to save everyone my way . Yeul , and Serah , and yes , you , too . ' So saying Noel ' s mouth curled into the old , familiar smile . ' Hey , can moogles talk ? ' Dajh has dropped by NORA House to play , and as usual he ' s peppering me with questions . Transcript : Fate and Freedom . ' Of course they can . They know lots of things , and love answering just about any question you might have . ' ' Hohoho . Since when did you become a moogle expert ? ' laughs Sazh as he strides into the house . He has a point . Why do I think I know about moogles ? I mean , they ' re just make - believe creatures from children ' s books . Yet . . . somewhere in the back of my mind , I ' m sure I ' ve met one . ' What ' s wrong ? ' Dajh looking up at me , wondering why I ' ve suddenly become so quiet . I tell him it ' s nothing . But it isn ' t nothing , and for the rest of the day , my head is full of thoughts of moogles . . .
