*Assumes Novella and Will are not canon and never happened.







— Takes place a few years after Tidus and Yuna reunite.







— With technology advancing the sunken Moon flow city is rebuilt and a 'New' Zanarkand is built (built elsewhere, the ruins still exist). Due to this, some are suspicious that there is a new hidden machina weapon like its predecessors Vegnagun and Penance (whether or not this is true is yet to be decided). This suspicion leads to secret, underground, experimentation to create an 'insurance policy' in case this machina weapon is real as it could be used to take control over the whole of Spira, leading to a potential Facist government.







— The experimentation is derived from the previous notion of Summoning. Instead of using humans, the experimenters attempt to use fiends to create a 'psuedo-fayth'. As Aeons embody the strongest emotion of the fayth, the team believes that the use of Fiends can create extremely powerful summonings suited perfectly to battle as fiends are consumed by rage in the first place. Through a lot of trial and error and combining different ideas they eventually succeed by capturing the pyreflies emitted when a fiend dies and fusing them with a dark power source discovered below the Zanarkand Ruins. Although they succeed, it isn't perfect, they soon realise that using fiends is unstable; the 'Aeon' actually just dying after a short time of being summoned and being unable to recover from any injuries sustained. They discover that the more powerful the 'Aeon' is the longer it lives but the harder it is to control, despite this risk they begin combining enormous amounts of fiends to hopefully extend its life indefinitely or for at least long enough for frequent use whilst still being able to control. Days pass and their huge creation starts to become irritated, following this its vital signs start to weaken, it's dying, they completely lose control over the Aeon and it rampages within its enclosure, luckily they are in the lab and are able to sedate it. The team decide to abandon this specific case, go home until the next day where they will begin to brainstorm new methods and ideas. Upset that this was initially looking so promising, one of the lead scientists, the husband of another lead scientist, stays behind to continue working for a little longer. He notices that the Aeon is moments before death, completely unable to move and whimpering, he decides to enter its enclosure. Feeling safe to do so, the scientist walks right up to the dying Aeon, apologises, casts a spell on it to mask its pain and then turns away to leave it die in peace. However, as he turns his back the containment malfunctions (*maybe it doesn't and instead someone else is on the outside causing this, yet to be decided) and fuses the man with the Aeon.



The next day when everyone arrives at work they are astonished that not only has their Aeon survived the night, it was now healthier than ever and has grown 5-fold; their months and months of work was a success. Whilst everyone surrounds the enclosure, the Aeon displays very aggressive behaviour towards everyone, except for the wife of the man who was absorbed. They run tests and discover signs of human life within the Aeon, mind-boggled, everyone tries to think of how this is possible until the wife realises her husband never returned home the previous night and was now missing. Distraught, she sprints to the enclosure and goes straight inside. Everyone is yelling and trying to stop her, thinking she'll be killed, however as soon as she enters, the Aeon turns to her and lets out a murmur as she falls to her knees with tears as she truly knows what has happened. Two workers enter the enclosure to escort her out but as they do, the Aeon instantly disintegrates them. Unable to accept reality she runs out of the enclosure and injecting herself with a substance, ending her own life. Alarms are sounding everywhere and they begin to cast spells to sedate the Aeon so they can seal him away, however nothing works as he is rampaging uncontrollably after witnessing his wife commit suicide. He breaks out of his enclosure and breaks free into the world of Spira above causing havoc, killing everyone he sees and then flying off into the atmosphere once it had started to calm down.







Although half the lab is destroyed and so is the city above, the third and final lead scientist, now mentally corrupt due to a combination of his extended paranoia about the potential machina weapon and the pride he has taken in this project's 'success' instantly begins creating more fiend Aeons; he plans to combine human lives with them. As it so happens, in the past he had already previously attempted to make Aeons from human lives but could not do it, failing numerous times, as he did not have the power that Yunalesca had. With the discovery that with the magic enclosures they can create 'human Aeons' if combined with the fiends, he and those on the team who had worked with him on his previous endeavours start to knock many of the team unconscious to then place them in the enclosures to use as sacrifices. Some of the experiments either fail or produce unusable Aeons and in the end only had enough lives and fiends in their lab to create 5 successful Aeons. Although this was more success, these Aeons, whilst still very powerful, are no where near the scale in size or power to the one that escaped (we'll say this is because of a rare mutation). Drunk with his new power, these Aeons are no longer an insurance policy, he now wants to continue experiments to become strong enough to take down the current Governing body and rule Spira himself, so they decide to relocate to their back-up lab below the Calm Lands. He and his team then scatter around Spira to kidnap people to use as sacrifices, one of those who eventually gets kidnapped is Lulu and Wakka's child.







Lulu and Wakka manage to catch up to the man who has kidnapped their child and began battling him, however he summons forth his Aeon, catching them by surprise and almost taking them out. Luckily Yuna and Tidus noticed them leave town so abruptly and followed them. They battle the man and his Aeon and managed to just barely win and save Vidina (their child for those who don't know). After this event, they discuss what has just happened and try to make sense of it; there aren't any Aeons anymore, so they can't figure out why this person was able to summon. Other villagers come over and say that they are worried because over the past 2 days people from Besaid have gone missing and not returned, this makes the group suspicious. The group then get a call from Rikku on the commsphere where she notifies them of a city being entirely wiped out. Thinking this could be related to that unusual and sickly looking Aeon, and the kidnappings Yuna asks Rikku to pick them up from Besaid in the Airship to take them to see the destroyed city. When they arrive they see bodies everywhere and complete destruction. They land and start to explore, with one of them eventually finding a huge hole, the one made by the escaping Aeon. They navigate their way down and discover the test facility. Final Fantasy X-3 Plot ideaNote: This is just to set up a narrative for the game to begin in the first place.
