Ai, Yu, Lisa, Kaze and Makenshi are being held in Chaos's chamber. Most are held by Herba's Hug-hug creature's vines, except for Yu, who stands with a shattered mind near the Earl.
The opening teaser shows the lost travelers, all imprisoned in the palace of [[Gaudium]]. [[Ai Hayakawa|Ai]] opens her eyes and realizes that [[Yu Hayakawa|Yu]] is alive. [[Lisa Pacifist|Lisa]] awakes as well. "Hi," greets [[Earl Tyrant]]. "You stupid Earl!" shouts Ai. "You'd better untie us right now!" The earl says he didn't have to save her, calling her something else. She then spots her parents and gasp. They look over at her, but don't seem to respond. "It's [[Joe Hayakawa|Mom]] and [[Marie Hayakawa|Dad]]! What's wrong with them?" "It's who?" asks Lisa. The two are shown and their eyes have the form of bright lights, as if they've been zombified. Joe calls it a weird day, odd that they suddenly "acquired these two kids out of the blue." Marie calls it very strange and Ai wonders just what they're talking about. "Professor Hayakawa!" shouts Lisa. Ai is distraught that they don't even recognize her and Lisa urges her to calm down. She can tell that there's something wrong and the two are being controlled. She asks what's happened to [[Knave]] and the [[Comodeen]], but [[Oscha]] just laughs and lies that "the [[Cid (Final Fantasy: Unlimited)#Jane|submarine]] and everyone in it met their fate at sea." Ai, broken up by this idea, can only sob. It is then shown that [[Makenshi]] has been tied up with the others as well and so has [[Kaze]], the two [[Unlimited (Final Fantasy: Unlimited)|Unlimited]]s together. After several moments of silence, the opening introduction is skipped and the final title card is shown. "Kaze: The Glory of Life."
 
===The Ingredients for Dessert===
 
[[Image:FFU Episode 25 - The Earl, Seemingly Triumphant.jpg|left|200px|thumb|The face of evil.]]
 
{{Q|Just watch.|[[Earl Tyrant]]}}
 
Events return with the earl in full-frame, giggling meanly. He says that he hasn't killed them because he's going to have them help him out. "Except for the really cute one," comments [[Herba]], referring to Lisa. "She was brought because I thought I might [[Hughug|hughug]] her later for fun." Oscha tells the Hayakawas that they're counting on them and they respond with a "yes, sir." They say they'll use them as ingredients and make the best tasting dessert ever. Oscha says that it's been a great deal of work raising Chaos, but the time is finally right, thanks to Makenshi. Joe switches on the "main switch" and it reveals a structure, with [[Clear (Final Fantasy: Unlimited)|Clear]] entrapped in a bubble. Ai recognizes her [[Ai: Meeting with Clear|old friend]] and the earl explains that Clear is actually [[Omega (Final Fantasy: Unlimited)|Omega]]'s heart. Herba explains that even Omega is powerless if it's closed in by the [[Elenium|Flying Water]]. The Hayakawa parents explain this as being fully supported by the physics of [[Wonderland]]. Oscha continues that once the pieces of Omega are reunited, he can plague the outside world with Chaos. That's what they had planned, but the earl's new plan is to merge with Clear himself. Yu asks what he means. "Just watch," responds the Earl. They begin the process and Clear is zapped with energy. Ai yells for them to stop, but the process continues and Clear is transformed into an Omega crystal.

Ai spots her parents nearby, and calls out to them. Lisa theorizes Joe and Mary's unresponsive behavior means they have been hypnotized. Oscha claims the Commodeen drowned after ''Jane'' sunk.

{{Q|You can forget about calling any summons.|Earl Tyrant}}
 
  +
Oscha orders Joe and Mary to create a dish, using the captives as ingredients. As they follow their orders and turn on their machine, Ai spots Clear being held in the machine and being used to power it. Clear is Omega's soul, thus why did not form a mindless monster like his brothers.
A glint appears in Makenshi's eye and he is able to summon his Maken weapon. The earl, however, reaches out with a tentacle and grabs it away, impressed that he still had enough strength to do something like that. He says he leaves him no choice and he hurtles the Maken at him, stabbing him through the gut. Makenshi moans and the earl tells him to be quiet. "Say goodnight," comments Herba. Kaze awakens. "White... Cloud..." he gasps. Yu runs over to the earl and pleads that it's enough. The earl, the sadist that he is, is simply thrilled with Yu's upset. "He has complete disregard for the well-being of others," realizes Lisa. Ai pleads with Kaze to "do something. Take him out with your [[Magun]]." Oscha orders [[Crux]] to come along and feed Chaos. Crux seems to hesitate. "Do it!" orders Oscha, and Crux instead empties a bag containing numerous Soil bullets and containers of [[Mist (Term)#Final Fantasy: Unlimited|Mist]] into the swirling orb of Chaos. "You can forget about calling any [[List of Summons|summons]]," teases the earl. Lisa asks just what all this is about. Oscha explains that they're going to destroy the [[Outer World|outside world]] to obtain its energy for Chaos. "You don't mean our world, do you?" asks Ai and Oscha clarifies that she's exactly right. Ai pleads with [[PoshePocket]] to give her anything that will aid in destroying the monsters, but PoshePocket is unable to do anything because his mouth has been taped shut. Then, one of the hughug flowers eats PoshePocket. Herba says that it found it disgusting. Ai screams and sobs. "If only I could use my [[Kigen Arts]]," muses Lisa. Yu again pleads with the earl to stop and the earl seems to realize something, something that Oscha has known all along. The earl says that he and Yu are going to unite, together with Yu's sister. "I think that's an excellent plan, don't you?" Oscha states that Ai and Yu are excellent ingredients for feeding Chaos. Ingredients that will force Wonderland to evolve. "Why us?" asks Yu.
 
===Origin===
 
[[Image:FFU Episode 25 - You Are Totally Different Beings.jpg|left|200px|thumb|"You are totally different beings."]]
 
{{Q|You two were found in Wonderland and taken to the outside world.|Oscha}}
 
.Oscha says they've been awaiting the day when they would be old enough. It turns out it's all been part of their evil plot. They lured in Ai and Yu with the [[Interdimensional Train|Subway]] and tracked them using the [[Cid (Final Fantasy: Unlimited)#Izabel|transmission device]] attached to [[Chobi]]. "We tracked you like a farmer does to his grazing cattle." They controlled their journey to Gaudium through various predicaments, making them excellent ingredients. Yu asks just why they did it-- he thinks it's a lie. "We're just regular kids!" shouts Ai. "No, you're not," explains Oscha. "No, don't," shouts Lisa, but Oscha continues anyway. Ai and Yu were originally found in Wonderland and taken to the outside world, where they were adopted by Joe and Marie Hayakawa. "You are totally different beings." Ai asks what he's saying-- that they're not even [[Human|human]]? Ai wonders if that means they're not even really the Hayakawa children. "That's not true!" shouts Lisa. Ai and Yu sob and the earl says that Lisa shouldn't waste her time. As Chaos reacts, [[Lou Lupus]] and [[Moogle#Final Fantasy: Unlimited)|Moogle]] fly towards Gaudium. Moogle asks Lou's sure her snout knows which way to go and Lou agrees that she's sure. She can tell through her bond of love with Kaze that they're headed in the right direction. "Hold on tight, Mr. Kaze. I'll be sure to save you."

Earl Tyrant's grand plan is to merge with Clear and obtain Omega's powers of destruction, allowing him to spread absolute chaos. The machine continues to perform its task, until Clear is compressed into his crystal state. Makenshi summons his sword to attack the machine, but Earl catches it, partly transforming into his chaos form.
===The Bond of Love===
 
[[Image:FFU Episode 25 - This Feels Great.jpg|left|200px|thumb|"This feels great! This feels good! Eee!"]]
 
{{Q|Professor Hayakawa, my name is Lisa Pacifist! I'm an agent that was dispatched to search for you!|Lisa}}
 
Ai and Yu are imprisoned within the contraption that transformed Clear into an Omega crystal. In another of the orbs sits the earl. Lisa pleads to stop the madness. Oscha orders Joe to transfer Omega's power to the earl. Lisa urges Joe to listen, to remember what happened twelve years before. When they lost their children, they adopted Ai and Yu and found a bond to support them. "Do it!" orders Oscha and Joe throws the switch. The energy begins crackling and Ai and Yu scream and twist about, but the earl surges with the flow of the energy. Lisa identifies herself as an agent that was dispatched to search for Joe and Marie. It's the reason she's been traveling with Ai and Yu, who believed their parents were performing research on the physics of Wonderland for the happiness of the people of their world. "They risked their little lives coming to Wonderland to search for you and you're going to kill them?!" Lisa's words seem to penetrate. Joe places his hands over his head and shouts, while Marie rushes over and throws the switch, shutting down the machine. "What are you doing?!" demands the earl. The Hayakawas, now fully out of their trances, now express dismay at the thought of what they were doing. A strange, worm-like creature comes out of Joe's ear, falls to the ground, and evaporates. Herba wonders how her "manipulative baby" could have stopped working. "That's what I call true love," responds Moogle. Ai and Yu are delighted at Moogle's return. "We'll show you the power of love!" declares Moogle. Lou Lupus transforms into her werewolf form and howls, sending forth a burst of energy that partially destroys the contraption, though several of the orbs light up pink. Ai and Yu are free and reunited with their adoptive parents. They hug and express their love for each other. Moogle frees Lisa and Lou, still in her werewolf form, frees Kaze. She asks Kaze if he's all right. Herba, mad, sends one of her hughug flowers after the group. Before it can do anything, however, it wilts and from its mouth emerges PoshePocket, which then snaps out the flower. The nine-note victory fanfare plays. "Meanie!" cries Herba. "You're the one who's mean around here!" answers Lou. She howls again and blasts Herba with energy, sending her falling into the depths of Chaos. "That'll teach a sister. I can get pretty mad!"
 
   
  +
Earl Tyrant impales Makenshi upon his own sword, awakening Kaze. When Ai calls for Kaze to use the Magun and destroy the Earl, Oscha calls Crux out, who appears carrying a large sack, which he orders her to feed to Chaos.
===The Earl's Revenge===

  +
Though she pauses and seems sad when she sees Makenshi's limp body, she complies when Oscha urges her on. Flying over Chaos, she dumps the contents of the sack below her: Makenshi's mist bottles and Kaze's Soil bullets. When Ai calls for Poshepoke to help them, their last defense is stripped when Hug-hug devours it.
{{Q|Kaze, kill him!<br>"Do it for Lou!|Yu and Ai}}
 
A tentacle snakes forward and hits Lou, causing her to transform back into her girl form. Lisa, Ai and Yu run over and she weakly says that she's glad that they finally found their mom and dad. Kaze comes forward and Lou asks if she's "in his eyes." She promises him that he'll always be in his, forever, and Lisa, Ai and Yu sob emotionally. She closes her own eyes and a tear falls. The others all mourn her loss. The Earl's voice, distorted and amplified, chides them all for really being bad. Another tentacle appears and suddenly a whole mess of tentacles bursts forth. The earl has transformed into a massive dragon and promises to eat them himself, but Ai and Yu can only continue to sob over Lou's fate. "It's useless!" shouts the earl and a massive surge of wind and energy appears, trying to consume the party. Moogle says that he is losing his energy. Kaze, however, is still standing. "Kaze, kill him!" shouts Yu. "Do it for Lou!" continues Ai.
 
===The Final Soil Charge===
 
[[Image:FFU Episode 25 - Essence of Lou.jpg|left|200px|thumb|"Use my Soil."]]
 
{{Q|Use me.|Lou Lupus}}
 
The Magun gives. Moogle shouts that it's been fixed and Lisa explains that this is Ai and Yu's power, the power to control the movements of the Magun. "It has moved," realizes Kaze. "'''Soil''' is my power! The Magun has thawed." The earl is simply amused, wondering just what he's going to do without any bullets. "I didn't have any the first time either," replies Kaze. "Yet, I reached Chaos nevertheless and then..." Makenshi awakens. "Kukuruyu" comes the sound of Crux, bringing a bottle of Mist to Makenshi. Makenshi removes the veil from his face and thanks Crux. The earl shouts that Kaze is finished and Ai and Yu plead with him to help them. "Black Wind!" shouts Makenshi. Holding up the bottle, he says that it is the Mist of his very soul. "I must play it! '''Symphony of the White Cloud!'''" Using it, he summons forth the [[Mist Dragon#Final Fantasy: Unlimited|Mist Dragon]], rocketing towards the Earl-dragon and hitting him with a massive burst of energy. "What is this?" asks Oscha, who is trying to climb back onto the scene. "He's become just like Chaos from before." The earl shouts that they'll all perish and Makenshi, as the Mist Dragon, shouts for Kaze to do his thing quickly, while he seals Chaos. Suddenly, Kaze hears Lou's voice. "Use me," urges Lou. Kaze recalls how he once used [[Aura (Final Fantasy: Unlimited)|Aura]]'s Soil. "My sister," remembers Kaze. Rainbow light appears and a rainbow pillar bursts forth. From it emerges a Soil bullet shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow. "I don't care how much blood must be shed," states Kaze, "as long as it's used to destroy Chaos!" "Now! The light that fills up your eyes: '''<font color="red">T</font><font color="orange">e</font><font color="#F5EB18">a</font><font color="green">r</font><font color="#84EFFB">s</font> <font color="#9B95EA">o</font><font color="violet">f</font> <font color="red">t</font><font color="orange">h</font><font color="#F5EB18">e</font> <font color="green">R</font><font color="#84EFFB">a</font><font color="#9B95EA">i</font><font color="violet">n</font><font color="red">b</font><font color="orange">o</font><font color="#F5EB18">w</font>'''." Moogle then tells Kaze to use his Soil. He steps forward and is transformed into... "The ultimate spirit: '''<font color="#868686">Soul Gun Metal</font>'''!" Lisa realizes that the Soil is crystallized lives. "And finally..." states Kaze, stepping forth himself. "The Soil Charge Triad to use on you has been decided!" He transforms into energy as Ai and Yu stare in disbelief at what Kaze is about to do. "Do it," Kaze tells Lisa. "Fire me. The helix of my life-- '''Endless White'''!" Lisa then uses her Kigen Arts to transform herself into spiritual energy. She fires the Magun, shouting "Omega! Don't destroy... life!" The energies burst forth, summoning the ultimate summon, the [[Bahamut#Final Fantasy: Unlimited|Gun Dragon, Bahamut]]. The two dragons aim massive energy at each other, leaving the party caught in the crossfire. "Black Wind, Kaze," whispers Makenshi. "White Cloud, Makenshi," whispers Kaze. "Unlimited!" shouts the shattered Oscha as he falls into the abyss.

The Earl declares that Ai and Yu will also merge with him, as they were once part of Chaos. They had lured the children into Wonderland, installed a tracking device on Chobi's watch, and attacked them time and again to force them to grow and mature. The children were found when Joe and Mary visited Wonderland and were taken back with them and raised as their children.
Fabula: "And what do you suppose happened to our intrepid travelers? Perhaps, someday, I will tell you, when we meet once again." Chobi flies forward, transformed into the [[Legendary Ciel]]. Scenes of the Comodeen are shown, as well as Ai, Yu, Lisa, Joe and Marie, coming to on an outcropping of rocks and PoshePocket chomping an Omega crystal. A teardrop falls from Lisa's eye and Fabula nods, bidding us goodbye. The final line? "Kukuruyu," from Crux.
 
   
  +
Outside, Lou and Moogle have survived Chaos's attack on ''Jane'', and are tracking Kaze through Lou's nose. Inside, Ai and Yu are loaded into the machine, and Oscha orders Joe and Mary to begin extracting their power for the Earl. Lisa calls out to Joe, explaining that the blast from the Black Tower killed their unborn children, and that Ai and Yu took their place when they found them. They still activate the machine when Oscha orders them to.
''Fly to the Neverland<br />

Lisa tries to force the professors to remember, explaining she was sent by an organization to find them by following Ai and Yu. Mary switches the machine off, and she and Joe remember their past with their children.
   
  +
As the pair shakes off the last of Herba's control, via small worm-like plants, Moogle appears with Lou, who transforms into her wolf form and destroys the machine. Free of Herba's control, Mary and Joe embrace their children as Moogle and Lou free Lisa and Kaze from Hug-hug.
   
 
===The Confrontation===
The anime ''Final Fantasy: Unlimited'' has ended, but the story [[Final Fantasy: Unlimited#Continuation of Final Fantasy: Unlimited|continues]]. '''Final Fantasy: Unlimited After''' featured a continuation of the story in both manga and script form, while '''After Spiral''' portrayed the continuing adventures in a series of web comics. '''Final Fantasy: Unlimited After 2''' was a radio drama, as was the backstory '''Final Fantasy: Unlimited Before.'''

As Herba sets Hug-hug on them to devour them, Poshepoke emerges from its mouth and devours the plant. A single shot from Lou sends Herba plummeting into Chaos. One of Chaos's tendrils appears and pierces Lou through her midsection.
  +
  +
Chaos's physical body rises into the air to confront the group, and merges with them by consuming them. Chaos begins draining everyone's strength, but Kaze seems unaffected. When Ai and Yu call out to him, the Magun activates, but Kaze has no soil to use.
  +
  +
Makenshi, laying on the walkway nearby, is weak, but alive. Crux appears and hands him a bottle of mist. Using his own body and soul, Makenshi attacks Chaos with his dragon, but rather than destroying Chaos, Makenshi merges with it. The two struggle for control over the body, with neither side able to gain the upperhand for long.
 
[[File:FFU Episode 25 - Essence of Lou.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Lou gives her soul for Kaze]]

Oscha, hanging to the edge of the walkway, comments that this is the same thing that happened last time. Makenshi tells Kaze to destroy Chaos while he is suppressing him, giving him a clear shot. As Lou's life fades, she asks Kaze to use her soil, just as Aura did. This forms a bullet, which Kaze loads. Moogle follows suit, giving his soil to form the second bullet, which Kaze loads as well. Kaze uses his own life to form the third bullet for the triad, entrusting Lisa to fire the Magun.

Oscha orders Joe and Mary to create a dish, using the captives as ingredients. As they follow their orders and turn on their machine, Ai spots Clear being held in the machine and being used to power it. Clear is Omega's soul, thus why did not form a mindless monster like his brothers.

Earl Tyrant's grand plan is to merge with Clear and obtain Omega's powers of destruction, allowing him to spread absolute chaos.

FFU Episode 25 - You Are Totally Different Beings

The Unearthly Children

The Earl declares that Ai and Yu will also merge with him, as they were once part of Chaos. They had lured the children into Wonderland, installed a tracking device on Chobi's watch, and attacked them time and again to force them to grow and mature. The children were found when Joe and Mary visited Wonderland and were taken back with them and raised as their children.

Outside, Lou and Moogle have survived Chaos's attack on Jane, and are tracking Kaze through Lou's nose. Inside, Ai and Yu are loaded into the machine, and Oscha orders Joe and Mary to begin extracting their power for the Earl. Lisa calls out to Joe, explaining that the blast from the Black Tower killed their unborn children, and that Ai and Yu took their place when they found them. They still activate the machine when Oscha orders them to.

FFU Episode 25 - This Feels Great

The Earl absorbing the children's power

Lisa tries to force the professors to remember, explaining she was sent by an organization to find them by following Ai and Yu. Mary switches the machine off, and she and Joe remember their past with their children.

As the pair shakes off the last of Herba's control, via small worm-like plants, Moogle appears with Lou, who transforms into her wolf form and destroys the machine. Free of Herba's control, Mary and Joe embrace their children as Moogle and Lou free Lisa and Kaze from Hug-hug.

The Confrontation

FFU Episode 25 - Earl Dragon

The Earl's wrath is unleashed

As Herba sets Hug-hug on them to devour them, Poshepoke emerges from its mouth and devours the plant. A single shot from Lou sends Herba plummeting into Chaos. One of Chaos's tendrils appears and pierces Lou through her midsection.

Chaos's physical body rises into the air to confront the group, and merges with them by consuming them. Chaos begins draining everyone's strength, but Kaze seems unaffected. When Ai and Yu call out to him, the Magun activates, but Kaze has no soil to use.

Makenshi, laying on the walkway nearby, is weak, but alive. Crux appears and hands him a bottle of mist. Using his own body and soul, Makenshi attacks Chaos with his dragon, but rather than destroying Chaos, Makenshi merges with it. The two struggle for control over the body, with neither side able to gain the upperhand for long.

FFU Episode 25 - Essence of Lou

Lou gives her soul for Kaze

Oscha, hanging to the edge of the walkway, comments that this is the same thing that happened last time. Makenshi tells Kaze to destroy Chaos while he is suppressing him, giving him a clear shot. As Lou's life fades, she asks Kaze to use her soil, just as Aura did. This forms a bullet, which Kaze loads. Moogle follows suit, giving his soil to form the second bullet, which Kaze loads as well. Kaze uses his own life to form the third bullet for the triad, entrusting Lisa to fire the Magun.

The gun responds to Lisa, and she summons the Gun Dragon. The two dragons fight briefly, destroying both Gaudium and each other.

Epilogue

FFU Episode 25 - Epilogue
