Chapter 2: The Ruins of Deserta[]
Zidane confronts Kuja about the torsions, and is shocked to see Vivi.
Lost Chapter: Balamb Whiplash[]
Zidane encounters a disoriented Quistis shortly after she arrives in the World of Light as he scouts a lava field near the Capta Est Tower on sortie with Laguna, Cecil, and Y’shtola. When it becomes clear that Quistis recognizes Laguna, they prompt him for an introduction, but Laguna – who was taken into the World of Light from a time before his meeting with Quistis in Esthar – does not remember meeting her. Nevertheless, the group deems Quistis as an ally as a behemoth arrives to challenge them in battle. Quistis then decides to join the warriors in their journey shortly thereafter.
Lost Chapter: Inheriting the Past[]
When Aerith joins the warriors of light, she leads them to close a torsion near the location where they first met her. She becomes separated from the group while wandering through a nearby forest and runs into Kuja, who wants to learn more about her motivations. Kefka ambushes the two, but Zidane and the other warriors arrive to her defense and he is forced to retreat.
Zidane demands to know why Kuja did not fight alongside Kefka. Aerith explains that he had defended her, but Kuja departs without explaining his intentions. With the battle over, the warriors admonish Aerith for going off on her own. Zidane notices that she was too far away from the main group to have simply gotten lost as she claims, and asks her to have a little more faith in them, and in the notion that they might be able to help her work through her struggles.
