As Feral Chaos Vivi launched his destructive and almighty spell towards the chest, Dimentio thought quickly to react and gets himself and the chest out of harm's way. Using his powerfully crafted dimensional magic and pulling all the energy he could from within himself, he successfully teleports him and the chest right over to Cloud! Goldtail follows him continuing the ever valiant protector role of his new master and stays alert as Cloud now had full access to open the chest. The blast completely misses the mark not hitting Dimentio or Cloud and blows yet another chunk of the ground beneath the team away. There was literally only a small round piece of land left to stand on! As he saw his chest get taken from him he screams out. "NO! MY CHEST! ALL MY POWER! GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT BACK TO ME!" He starts to prepare another chaos driven, destructive spell. But it was too late!
Cloud reaches within himself for the materia of his and puts it up to the lock, it clicks and opens the chest effortlessly. A blinding light flashes out of it revealing exactly what was said to be inside prior; The Anti-Essence, and The Crude Essence along with Vivi's Materia! Cloud then takes action the moment it opens, grabs Vivi's Materia and tosses it his way! The Good Vivi sees this, and like a tractor beam, the materia connects with Vivi's energy from afar and his aura shoots out a ray of light going right for the materia! It then whizzes towards him. Feral Chaos Vivi etches out a claw trying to catch it but he could not! He growls as it heads the Good Vivi's way and clings to his bosom dissipating into his body and gets fully absorbed.
Feral Chaos Vivi lets out another scream; "RAAAAHHHH!!!! IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!! WHAT HAVE YOU ALL DONE!?!" As the materia fully dissolves into Good Vivi, a blinding light engulfs him and flashes throughout the entire cavern. After a few seconds of this fantastic glimmer, Good Vivi is shown taking on a new pure form!
The robes on him turn to glistening white armor, the hat on his head turns into a golden helmet, his staff turns into a sword of holy energy, and wings grow from beyond his back! The Chronos Cramia spell he had summoned now grows several sizes bigger taking up the entire roof space of the cavern and floats freely above his head without any hands touching it! It is held there by pure mental energy while his hands remain free. He addresses his evil brother. "It's over, brother....thanks to my friends, I have attained my Altruism form. It's time for you to rest now..." The Evil Vivi refutes this claim and responds in manic and rage. "I WILL NEVER SUCCUMB TO YOU! You're weak! You're obsolete!" He then takes the next destructive spell he had mustered and flings it to Altruistic Vivi, but it is deflected by the target's sword and sent back to Feral Chaos Vivi in an instant with twice the power, causing him to fall to the ground in a heap nearly crippled being swatted like a fly.
He turns to his team thanking them. "Thank you for helping me realize what being good really means, in every sense of the word...because of your kind and heroic acts, I was able to utilize the full force of my materia to best my brother. No more cowardly motions....now is the time for me to finish this. To act." He slowly floats the Chronos Cramia orb over to him and his evil brother's location drawing it closer and closer to his person. However, his evil brother reacts with a last ditch effort of destruction. "No...not like this....I'm going to take myself out of this equation before you can, and take all of you with me!" He then shoves a claw into his chest and crushes one of his organs. Likely his heart. Instantly, he is filled with a burning orange light and his body starts to escalate in size. "Forbidden Blood Magic....Self Destruction..." He was going to certainly bring everyone down with him.
However, Altruistic Vivi sees this coming, and expands the Chronos Cramia spell to engulf and surround them both with a brilliant light. A part of him figured it would come to this sad fate. He looks to his team once more to say his final farewell. "This is the way it must be, friends. In my parting words I speak to you all, and especially you, Cloud..." He shoots a focused and sharpened gaze at Cloud. "Let the good inside of you flourish....it will always defeat the darkness. Go. Leave here. Live. And save what's left of this world. Defeat the Starvia...and most importantly..." He hesitates a moment. "To stop...what's to come..." He says this knowing of something to come in the future that could prove another dire threat, which the group has yet to understand, and waves his sword in a swift motion. "CHRONOS...CRAMIA!" After saying his goodbyes, this motion caused the Chronos Cramia bubble to implode in on both Vivis leaving a trail of screaming from the Evil Vivi behind.
What once was sounds of chaos and violence, now turned to silence and peace. The chest was left wide open besides Cloud, with the ever coveted Anti-Essence and Crude Essence just sitting there rife for the taking to be utilized to help end the Starvia plague and fight against it. Was this a sign of getting closer to a light at the end of the tunnel? A final cure-all for the disease plaguing the world? Could it help the team and the Life Sphere obtain more answers to how the world came to be, and what they could call home?
There was much left still to ponder, but at last, the mission was complete. As the two Vivis vanished into another dimension keeping this timeline from complete destruction leaving behind that chest, there was still an interesting lingering creature left over keeping Dimentio company; the Hydra known as Goldtail. Sadly, though, it too, was vanishing out of existence. Bits of it began to deteriorate and fly away into particles that eventually turned to vapor as it reached the cavern's roof. Because it was made of its old master's magic, and he was no longer, so must the Hydra also be no longer.
As it vanished it licked Dimentio's face once more fighting tears until it became nothing but empty air. But, wait, it left behind something as a parting gift!?! AN EGG!
Though Goldtail is no more on a sad final note of its life, it did leave a parting and thank you gift for the bond you both shared. It's a Dark Hydra Egg! After completing 3 missions with it in Dimentio's inventory, please DM on Discord or PM an Admin to hatch it into a companion with stats! P.S., you must link the Dimentio missions you have completed to get credit.
The egg laid beside Dimentio's cold purple wavy creepy body to do with what he pleases. Take it with him to hatch it, pawn it, eat it, or who knows, it was his. Or just leave it there. The few moments of farewells and peaceful goodbyes were suddenly interrupted by the cavern shaking once again in violent and auditory vibrations of the strongest calibre. The ground below them was giving out again and the lava quickly began to rise and soar up to the team's levels. The whole cave was finally coming down! Now would be a great time to activate your time devices bringing whatever you need with you (including the chest) to head back to your own timeline and the Life Sphere! The mission has been a success thanks to the group's efforts, meeting all objectives and now earning a nice rest.
CONGRATULATIONS!
