Destiny Odyssey IX, subtitled Melodies of Life, is a storyline in Dissidia Final Fantasy which follows the journey of Zidane on his quest for his crystal. Chronologically, it is tied with Bartz’s chapter as the sixth storyline to take place. This chapter has a difficulty rating of 3 stars.

Story
The story begins with the decision between Zidane and Bartz to have a race to find their respective crystals. After Bartz is whisked away in a trap set by Kefka for Zidane, Zidane must continue his journey alone. Squall soon joins the adventure after Zidane saves him from a tight spot. They soon reunite with Bartz, who has obtained his own crystal, thus winning the race. The reunion is short-lived, however, as the crystal contains another trap for Zidane which transports him area, all alone. Zidane, feeling down about leaving his friends behind receives a moral boost from Cosmos, helping him realize that while his friends believe in him, Zidane should believe in them as well to fend for themselves. He eventually encounters Kuja for battle before obtaining his crystal and finding his friends again.
