Looks like i needed the cavalry after all. Maybe going solo was a bad idea.
You knew you had no chance of winning. Why did you even try?
Fang and Vanille, i guess. I knew it was stupid. But the pillar is gettin'
eaten away, bit by bit. I can't just stand by and watch. Not when
those two are in danger. You couldn't just sit still and wait for help,
could you? Typical!
Hey, i do what i do, all right? You're the worst of them all. I hate your
kind! You think you're everyone's protector - everyone's
hero - but who do you save, really? Do you even realize how useless you are!?
Do you realize what you do to the people you're supposed to protect!?
Now you wait just a damn minute. You've been looking after Serah.
And back in your own time, you protected your village, and your friends. Am i wrong?
Seems to me, you and i are pretty much the same.
No! You...you don't get it. You don't know anything. You're wrong, we're not the same.
I couldn't protect anyone. Noel... You know what, forget it. Maybe you're
right. But you've gotta survive. Because if you don't,
then neither will anyone you love. Listen, i'm sorry i charged in on my own.
Snow. I guess what i'm sayin' is, you keep looking
after Serah for me, okay? Snow? What's happening!?
My time is up. No, wait! But we resolved the paradox!
Maybe that's the reason. The timeline is correcting itself. Things
that don't belong in this era are disappearing. Snow is a contradiction. He comes from a past
that no longer exists. No! Stop it! I won't let you go!
Sorry, Serah. I can't be with you here. No! please don't leave me! I can't lose you
over and over. It'll be okay. Heroes never die.
A L'Cie brand... But how? See ya.
Snow! This, this is what it means to change time.
Why did he have the brand? Who made Snow a L'Cie? Why?
He might not have been forced. Maybe it was something he asked for.
Not in a million years! Who would be insane and stupid enough to do that?
What if you needed to protect someone? And you could only do that with the power of the
L'Cie? But, everyone knows what happens to L'Cie!
Succeed or fail, they're doomed. Snow only cares about the people he's trying
to protect. Damn the consequences, damn himself. If it means helping my friends, i'll gladly
become a L'Cie. Sound like something he'd say?
And you...you hate him for that? Yes, i hate him. But...i understand him, too.
That's it. I've decided. Snow is always putting himself
in danger trying to save others. So, i'm going to save him.
When i became a L'Cie, he did everything he could to help me. Now, it's my turn.
I swear, i won't stop until i find him again. Okay. And i'll make sure you do. He asked
me to look after you, remember? When two people part and go their separate
ways, their memories split as well. Some people wish they could go back and be
together like before. Others look forward to the day they can meet again.
Serah, the future is yours. Follow you path. Don't stop now.
Okay. Shall we?
Let's. Yeul. Will you allow this?
It is not for me to decide. Another detour?
Aw. It's easy to get lost when you leap across time, kupo.
We can go back through the gate anytime. Let's take a breather.
Thanks. Say, Serah. You remember when you told me
that you saw Lightning and me in your dream? Are you still having them?
No. The last time i saw Lightning was the night before we met.
Although, i've had lots of dreams about what happened the next day.
Okay. Why do you ask?
I was just curious. All right, my turn. I want to know about Yeul.
I don't know anything about either of the Yeuls you met.
What do you mean? She could be a time traveler, right? Just
like you and me and Snow? I don't think so. She's like a reincarnation,
a new Yeul born over and over. In each generation of the Farseers, a girl
with the same face, the same power is born. That girl is always called Yeul.
So you're saying, every age we travel to, there's a different Yeul waiting?
A Yeul from Oerba, and a Yeul from Yaschas Massif...
But they're all different - and neither are the Yeul i knew.
Although, it took me a long time to actually start believing it.
Noel, i've been thinking. If we keep traveling through time, and resolving paradoxes and
changing history... Doesn't that mean the future you come from
will change along with everything else? Perhaps it'll become a future where i never
existed. Is that possible?
Sure it is. But it's okay if it does. There's too much sadness in my world, your
future. It'd be better ifit never happened at all.
Well, come on, let's go. We've got a date with Lightning, remember?
Yeah. Okay.
The power to influence the future... The power to alter destiny...
Such an ability may, if one was not careful, change a person's fate for the worse.
Such power was never meant for mortal man. There are none who possess the wisdom to wield
it. Serah, you must seek out your own answers
as you waver at the edge of despair. Wow. How do you build something like this?
A little bit at a time, i guess. It probably took a lot of people working together
over decades, maybe even centuries, to make this city what it is now.
They had a vision for the future, and it grew from there, huh?
You know what, Serah? I used to think the only way to make a better
future was to change something right, in the here and now.
But creating something for people to build on, that's not a bad idea.
Right? Even if it can't be completed in one lifetime, it's still worth starting.
If you believe that someone in the next generation will take up the same ideal, then the dream
lives on. That sounds like Hope's way.
I wish she could've seen it. Yeul, you mean?
She's very special to you, isn't she? She was. But i couldn't protect her.
Noel! Threat level 'Sigma.' All sections of Academia
on high alert. What threat? I hope they're not talking about
us. The bots must see us as intruders.
That can't be good. We should look for a way to slip through.
This terminal's on. Shall we do some snooping? Snoop away. We can't fight back if we don't
know what we're facing. Uh...not this way.
Or this. Noel, i think we're trapped.
Think you're right! All right, all right. We give up. We won't
fight anymore. So why don't you show yourself? Caius...
Pretend to capitulate and buy yourself time. It's not a bad strategy.
You've got no reason to fight me, Caius. Wrong. You are the enemy. You are contradictions
in the timeline. I have every reason to eliminate you.
Two hundred years ago, you learned the forbidden history, and were entombed in that tower as
a consequence. But now you stand before me, alive and well
once again. What can that be, if not a paradox? Towers and forbidden histories? What's he
talking about? Could it be something from the future?
Could be. Maybe at some point we travel two hundred years before this time, and encounter
Caius there. But i don't plan on letting him kill us.
There is no mistake. You are one and the same. A distortion. A contradiction.
Caius, this isn't like you. If we're in your way, why not just stop us yourself?
A fitting sacrifice was required for you to comprehend your transgression. To that end,
i enlisted some...assistance. Right.
