Everyone stood in silence on the top of the tower for a moment until Relm cried out in joy.

"WE WON!!!"

"Maybe now we can-" Edgar was cut off as the tower suddenly began to rumble.

"What's happening?!" Sabin asked.

"The tower's collapsing!" Locke shouted.

"There's no time to lose!" Edgar shouted.

"Come on! The airship is just up ahead!" Setzer shouted.

"Come on, everybody! We can make it if we work together!" Celes shouted.

Jaune and Terra were still in their esper forms and as they were about to run for the door, the two then collapsed to the floor. Celes ran up to the two half espers.

"Terra! Jaune! What's wrong?" she asked.

Suddenly, three magicite shot up into the air out of Celes, Edgar, and Locke's pockets and in a puff of green smoke vanished into thin air.

"The magicite..." Cyan said.

"The magic in this world is disappearing," Strago said.

"If the espers are fading from this world now..." Edgar trailed off.

"What'll happen to Jaune and Terra...?" Celes asked in a worried tone.

Terra and Jaune slowly got up from the ground and looked at everyone.

"Come with us!" Jaune said.

"We can use the last of our powers to guide you out!" Terra said.

The two half espers started to race down into the tower as the others followed. As they all ran through the halls, the magicite shot out of everyone's pockets one by one and disappeared. Suddenly, a voice spoke out, catching everyone's attention, making them stop.

"Terra..."

A magicite flew out of Terra's chest and floated above everyone.

"Father..." Terra said.

"Terra... we must part now. We espers wll disappear from this world. You and your friend may fade as well..." her father spoke. "But, perhaps if the human part of you two feels something strong enough, then maybe... just maybe you and Jaune will be able to remain here as humans."

The magicite then disappeared into a puff of green smoke. Terra and Jaune let the esper's words sink in before they all continued down the halls with the rest of the Returners following them. Eventually everyone made it to the Falcon and quickly boarded inside the airship. Setzer quickly takes the wheel as Jaune and Terra run up to the front of the bow of the airship.

"Follow us!" Terra exclaimed.

Jaune and Terra jumped up from the airship and started to fly as the Falcon took off and followed the two half espers. A magicite shot out of Edgar's pocket and disappeared.

"The last piece of magicite!" Edgar exclaimed.

"Terra! Jaune! You've done enough! Your powers's getting weaker!" Celes shouted.

Jaune and Terra ignored Celes's cries and continued to lead the Falcon into the sky as Kefka's tower collapsed to the ground behind them. As they all flew over the clouds, Celes noticed the glow on Jaune and Terra was starting to dim away.

"They're not going to be able to hold out much longer!" Celes exclaimed in worry.

Jaune looked at Terra and noticed she was starting to lose consciousness and started to descend downward.
