Tifa fights alone against the manikins that obstruct the way to her friends.
She has not lost hope as she heads into a land of falling snow...

Introduction

Chapter seven, titled Ally, is the eighth level available on Story Mode in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy. This chapter features Tifa.

Story[]

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Tifa fights through the horde of manikins alone, worrying about the state of her comrades. During her travels she finds Ultimecia, who taunts her with the knowledge several of her allies have fallen, and questions Tifa's resolve. The two battle, and as Tifa prepares to deliver the final blow, Ultimecia transforms into a manikin, revealing herself as a decoy. The true Ultimecia appears behind Tifa to strike her, when Kain intervenes to save her. Though Tifa thanks him, Ultimecia informs her of Kain's treachery, pointing out Zidane's collapsed body nearby. Kain grabs Zidane's body and leaps away before Tifa can approach either of them, leaving her to follow his trail.

Tifa follows Kain back the way she came over the snowfields, catching up to him in a gateway. Kain lifts his spear to her as she approaches, but falls to his knees, still suffering wounds. Telling Tifa to forget about him as a traitor and return to Cosmos, Tifa uses a Potion on Kain to heal him, telling him she trusts him and doesn't believe he would betray them. She asks what has happened and why he moved to attack her, but Kain refuses to answer. Tifa decides to follow him further, questioning him on his loyalties and if he truly intends to pretend he's a traitor. Eventually Kain admits he didn't want to burden his comrades with grim news, and tells Tifa what he has learned about the manikins, and his plan to put his allies to sleep for the next cycle. Though Tifa is saddened by the idea they won't be able to change things, Kain tells her in the next cycle she won't remember this and she can take comfort in that. With Kain's secret revealed, Tifa tells him she'll continue to accompany him, as even though she doesn't agree with what he's doing, he's doing what he believes is right and doesn't want to see anyone else hurt.
