Alex Fernandez: Maester Seymour Guado

Quotes 

• Maester Seymour Guado : [as Yuna's guardian's step forth]  Ah, of course. "Protect the summoner, even at the cost of one's life." The Code of the Guardian. How admirable. Well, if you are offering your lives, I will have to take them.

  Yuna : Maester Seymour. I trust my guardians with my life, but they are also my friends. I will not stand by and watch them be hurt.

  [She brings out her staff] 

  Yuna : I will fight you, too!

  Tidus : All right!

  Wakka : M-Maester Seymour!

  Maester Seymour Guado : So be it!

• Maester Seymour Guado : [appearing in front of Tidus and Rikku]  Ah, the son of Jecht.

  Tidus : Rikku, run ahead and tell Auron!

  Rikku : You are not fighting him alone!

  Tidus : Just go! *Go!*

  Maester Seymour Guado : Now is your time to die. Prepare yourself, son of Jecht.

  Tidus : Not if I can help it!

  Kimahri Ronso : [approaching with the others]  Save some for Kimahri!

  Maester Seymour Guado : [noticing Yuna]  Ah, Lady Yuna. It is a pleasure.

  Lulu : Yuna!

  [Yuna gets ready to send Seymour to the Farplane] 

  Maester Seymour Guado : A sending? So soon? Let me say something to the last Ronso before I leave. Your's was... truly a galant race. They threw themselves at me to bar my path. One... after another...

  [Seymour laughs] 

  Kimahri Ronso : [realizing what Seymour is saying]  No...

  Yuna : Kimahri...

  Maester Seymour Guado : You could end the suffering of this poor Ronso.

  Yuna : I don't understand you!

  Maester Seymour Guado : Allow Kimahri to die and release him from his suffering. Spira, is consumed by the spiral of death. To destroy - to *heal* Spira - I will become Sin with your help Lady Yuna. Come, Lady Yuna.

  Auron : Don't listen to him!

  Maester Seymour Guado : [to Tidus]  Once I become Sin, your father will be free again.

  Tidus : [frusturated]  Ah, what do *you* know?

  [takes his sword and rushes towards Seymour] 

  Maester Seymour Guado : Pitiful mortal...

  [the unsent Seymour begins transforming into Seymour Flux] 

  Maester Seymour Guado : Your hope ends here! And your meaningless existence with it!

  [after defeating Seymour Flux] 

  Tidus : [exhausted]  And *stay* up there!

• Maester Seymour Guado : [versus Seymour Omnis; when Yuna summons Anima]  You would dare oppose me as well? So be it!

• Auron : [Maester Seymour finds the group, surrounded by bodyguards, one of them carrying Maester Kinoc's corpse] 

  [shocked] 

  Auron : Kinoc!

  Tidus : [to Seymour]  Why, you - !

  Maester Seymour Guado : I have saved him. He was a man who craved power. And great power he had, but he feared losing it. Trembling at unseen enemies, he spent his days scheming petty schemes, chased by his fears, never knowing rest. You see... now he has no worries, he has been granted sleep eternal. Death is a sweet slumber, all the pain of life is gently swept away. Ah, yes.

  [Seymour turns to Yuna] 

  Maester Seymour Guado : So you see... if all life were to end in Spira, all suffering would end, don't you see? Do you not agree? That, Yuna, is why I need you. Come, Lady Yuna. Come with me to Zanarkand, the lost city of the dead. With death on our side, we will save Spira, and for this... I will take away from you your strength, Yuna, your life, and become the next Sin. I will *destroy* Spira! I will *save* it!

  Tidus : You're totally *nuts!*

• Tidus : [discovering Seymour inside Sin]  Don't you *ever* give up?

  Maester Seymour Guado : Sin has chosen me. I am part of Sin. I am one with Sin forever. Immortal!

  Tidus : Sin just absorbed you.

  Maester Seymour Guado : I will learn to control it from within. I have all the time in the world. Since you were gracious enough to dispose of Yunalesca, the only means of destroying Sin is forever gone! Now, nothing can stop us!

  Tidus : Well, *we* can.

  Maester Seymour Guado : [Seymour has assimilated with the Mortiphasms to become Seymour Omnis]  By all means, try! You should thank me! Your death means your father's life!

• Maester Seymour Guado : [Seymour, defeated, falls to his knees. Yuna walks forward]  Yuna... you would pity me now?

  [He falls on his back, dead. Yuna rushes to the dead body and closes his eyes. Tromell and two Guado escorts suddenly enter] 

  Tromell Guado : Maester Seymour! What has happened here?

  Wakka : [stunned]  What... What have I done...?

  Tidus : [as the Guado check Seymour's body]  Wait a minute! It's not our fault at all! Seymour struck first; he's the bad guy!

  Tromell Guado : Y-You did this?

  Auron : Yuna. Send him.

  Tromell Guado : [angered]  No, stop! Stay away from him, traitors!

  [the Guado carry Seymour's body out of the chamber. Yuna falls to her knees] 

  Yuna : [in disbelief]  Traitors...?

  Wakka : We're finished.

  Tidus : Now, hold on! Seymour's the bad guy, right? We'll just tell everyone what happened!

  Auron : It won't be that easy - let's get out of here.

• Maester Kelk Ronso : The high court of Yevon is now in session. Summoner Yuna, you took an oath to protect the people of Yevon, no?

  Yuna : Yes.

  Maester Kelk Ronso : Then consider: you have inflicted dire injury upon Maester Seymour Guado, conspired with the Al Bhed and joined in their insurection. These are traitorous crimes that disturb the order of Yevon. Tell this court what possessed you to come to such violence.

  Yuna : Your Grace. The real traitor... is Maester Seymour! He killed his father Jyscal with his own hands!

  Maester Kelk Ronso : What is this?

  Maester Seymour Guado : Hm? Hadn't you heard?

  Yuna : Not only that - Maester Seymour... is already dead!

• Wakka : [about Operation Mi'ihen]  But, using machina - that's bad, isn't it?

  Maester Seymour Guado : Pretend you didn't see them.

  Wakka : [Everyone - except for Tidus and Auron - gasps]  Beg your pardon, but *that's* not something a Maester should say!

  Maester Seymour Guado : Then pretend I didn't say it.

  Wakka : [disbelieving]  You're kidding!
