Light to All/Chapter 9

''After giving Squall his good-luck charm, Bartz was traveling together with Zidane. But he is caught in an enemy trap and transported deep inside their lair. What is happening to Bartz is a tale woven by a feather of fortune...''

Chapter one, titled A Treasure Hunt (9章：お宝探し) is a retelling of Destiny Odyssey V in the Story Mode of Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy. This chapter features Bartz.

Story
Bartz wakes up after falling into a trap set up for him by Kefka and hides as Kefka arrives with Kuja. Kuja berates Kefka to failing to capture Zidane, who their trap was meant for, and Bartz decides to look around the Land of Discord as Kefka and Kuja leave to concoct a new plan. Bartz eventually runs across The Emperor and Ultimecia speaking to Sephiroth, offering him an alliance. Sephiroth refuses, and the Emperor notices Bartz spying on them. Bartz flees, and the Emperor and Ultimecia decide to send Exdeath after him.

Bartz escapes and continues to search. Finding what appears to be his Crystal guarded by Exdeath, Bartz evades him and steals it, fleeing afterwards. Confident he has won the race with Zidane to retrieve his Crystal first, Bartz looks for a way back to him. Running across Golbez, he warns Bartz that he cannot find the Crystal simply by looking and attacks him. Bartz is victorious and flees as an earthquake occurs, not understanding Golbez's advice.

Bartz finds Zidane and Squall, and shows Zidane his Crystal. An annoyed Zidane reaches for it and vanishes with the Crystal. Exdeath appears and laughs that the Crystal Bartz found was a fake intended to transport Zidane to Kuja, and Bartz delivered it to him as Kuja predicted. Exdeath calls the manikins to attack and Squall and Bartz flee. Stopping to rest ahead, Squall returns Bartz's Chocobo feather good-luck charm and thanks him for it. Exdeath catches up to them and Bartz volunteers to fight him, tired of running. Bartz defeats Exdeath and his Crystal manifests from his Chocobo feather. Zidane then reappears following his own victory against Kuja running up to them, and Bartz runs forward to meet him.
