Operation: Pay Back

When a girl from Besaid is the one prophesized to defeat Zanarkand and bring peace to a warring nation. When the war is brought to your home and you loose everything and everyone you love. When a totalitarian leader comes to power making your life a living hell. When you're bent on avenging your loved ones and will stop at nothing to bring order back to Spira, The only thing on your mind is PAY BACK.

"Hey! Wait up!" A young girl about the age of 17, with short raven colored hair yelled as she ran after a tan skinned boy with blonde hair. She had tan skin; dark azure colored eyes and stood about 5'4". She was currently wearing long black capri's with a white tank top that said 'Bevelle Brutes' across the chest. They ran several minutes before stopping at the edge of a cliff. Below them was a watery cove. "You've gotten faster," the girl commented.

The boy smiled and said, "Nah, you've just gotten slower." The boy stood about 5'7" and had light cerulean eyes. He was wearing long black shorts that had the emblem for the Bevelle Brutes on them and a red cup neck T-shirt. He had a strong build and looked about the same age as the girl. Circa 17.

"Yea, well…" The girl started before she dove into the cove below them. When she surfaced she called back up to him. "I'll race ya back to the village!"

"You're on!" the boy shouted back as he took a running dive into the water.

The girl laughed and took off in the direction of the village. By the time they had reached land, the boy caught up to her.

As she went to start back, the boy grabbed her wrist and said, "Hey, before we go back to the village can I talk to you?"

She turned to face him. "Yea, what's up?"

He ran his hand through his hair and tried to think of how to say what he needed to say. Finally, he cupped his hands in front of him and started. "Well, you know with the war going on between Bevelle and Zanarkand, I had the chance of being drafted into the war to fight for Bevelle?"

The girl lowered her head and started wringing out her hair when she replied, "Yea, I know…"

The boy turned around so he wasn't facing her and he said, "Well, I got a letter last week, recruiting me…"

The girl kept her eyes on her shoes and shifted uneasily from one foot to the other before responding. She closed her eyes and said, "When do you leave?"

The boy looked up at the sky, then back at the floor. "Tomorrow."

She picked up her head and looked at his back. "What, but why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you." He turned back so he was facing her again. Only this time her head was down and she wasn't looking at him. "I wanted our last few days together to be lots of fun."

She didn't look up. She kept her gaze on her shoes that were soaking wet since she had jumped into the cove. "Yea…"

He reached into his pocket and took out a box. He brushed it off and handed it to her. She took the box giving him a suspicious look as she opened it. What she found inside was a beautiful ring. It had two linking hearts with diamonds outlining them. She looked up from the box at him and said, "What is this for?"

He took the ring out of the box and placed it on her left ring finger. "Listen, when I come back, I want to get married. So this is a promise slash engagement ring."

She tried with all her might to blink back her tears. She then managed to choke out, "Well, are you least going to ask me if I want to marry you."

He smiled at her and pushed her dark hair out of her face. He took her hands in his and asked, "Brooke Rassi, will you marry me?"

"Tidus Manzi, I most definitely will," was her answer. She then pulled him into a tight embrace. He wrapped his arms around her waist and returned the gesture. When they pulled apart his cerulean eyes locked with her azure eyes and he said, "I love you, Brooke."

She smiled at him and said, "I love you too." With that he leaned in and gave her a passionate kiss.

After they kissed, he took her hand and said, "Ok, Rassi, lets head back. It'll be getting dark soon."

"Wait. Before we go." She took her hand from him and reached around her neck. She unclasped her locket and handed it to him. "I want you to have this."

He looked down at the locket. It was a small heart that when opened revealed a picture of her and him. He looked back at her and said, "I can't take this. Your grandmother gave it to you."

She closed his hand over the locket and reassured him, "And now I am giving it to you…"

"Brooke…"

She put her finger to his mouth and said, "Fine. Don't think of it as me giving it to you. Think of it as me lending it to you. You can give it back to me when you come back from the war."

He smiled. "Alright then." He took her hand once again and together they headed back to the village. When they reached the statue where the villagers prayed for a safe journey anytime they left the island, a billow of smoke coming from the town welcomed them.

"The village!" Brooke shouted as she started sprinting down the path to the town. Tidus ran right behind her. Just before they entered the village they encountered a wounded man with red hair. "Luzzu! What's going on?" the girl called to him.

The man propped himself up on his elbows and explained to them what was happening. "Zanarkand. They've invaded the Island. They said they were searching for the one prophesized to stop them."

Tidus knelt down beside him. He took out a potion from his pack and handed it to him. "Luzzu, what are you talking about?"

After drinking the potion, he wiped his mouth and continued. "They came here demanding we forfeit our 'secret weapon.' They say there is a person here who holds the key for defeating Zanarkand. This person is prophesized to have come from the Isle of Besaid. They say he has 'the mark.' Then when no one confessed, they attacked the town."

Suddenly a scream was heard from within the village. "We have to go," Brooke stated.

As she went to leave Luzzu called for her. "Brooke, wait."

She turned around and knelt down next to him. "What is it Luzzu?"

He took her hand and said, "I know there is nothing I can say to make you turn around right now and hide in the forest until they go, so please, Brooke, Tidus. Please, be careful."

"Will do." Brooke got up from the floor and looked at Tidus. He nodded at her and they were off. As they were running into town, Brooke took her daggers off her belt and held them tightly in her hands and Tidus had drawn his sword. Upon entering the town, the two came upon a massive battle between the Besaidians and Zanarkandians.

"Brooke!"

She turned to the direction of which her name was being called. It was her father, who was currently fighting two soldiers at once. She took off running in the direction of her father. She ran up behind one of the soldier and stabbed him in the neck with her dagger and her father took care of the other guard.

When the two soldiers were taken care of he turned to her. "Brooke! Get your mother and sister and take them out of here!"

"But, Dad…"

"No! Go Now!" He screamed at her. She started to run in the direction of her home, when he called to her again. "And Brooke." She turned to him. "I love you."

"I love you too, Dad," she called back as she ran towards her home. When she got there she found it was ablaze. Shit. She ran into the house. "Mom? Ree-Ree? Are you in here?" She walked further into the house. "Mom?" She heard something coming from her mother's bedroom. She ran down the hall only to find that the door was locked. Damn it. She then took a step back and kicked the door as hard as she could. Since the house was on fire the heat had weakened the metal on the door, making it easy for her to break open the door. When she entered the room she found her mom lying on the bed… sleeping?

She screamed to her mother, "Mom, get up. We have to go, NOW!" But her mother didn't move. "What the hell?" she said to herself. She walked over to the bed to wake her. She grabbed her mother's shoulder and turned her over. "Mo…" When she turned her mom over she found the reason she didn't respond. She wasn't alive; she had been shot in the head. Oh my Yevon. No!

By now the fire had spread and the smoke was making it very difficult to breath. I have to get out of here. She crouched down and exited the house as quickly as she could. Luckily, she escaped it with only minor cuts and bruises. When she exited the house, she collapsed to the ground gasping for air.

"You killed my family!"

Brooke looked up to see Tidus screaming at some person, whom she assumed was from Zanarkand. She wasn't able to decide if it was a male of female, whoever it was had really short silver hair. But she made the decision it must be a female, because only the upper part of her torso was covered and her pants were low. She clad fully on black leather, with bits of red every now and then and she was sporting a long sword.

Brooke stood up ready to run to help Tidus, but her attention was diverted elsewhere. "Brookie! Help me! Please!" Brooke spun to her left. She saw her little sister being held by the hair by some man. This man looked about the age of 23 and his hair was one giant orange flip. She started running towards her sister. "Ree-Ree!"

"I wouldn't come any closer." The man took out a gun and placed it on the younger girls head. Brooke stopped running.

Ree-Ree started crying. "Brookie, I'm sorry I broke your CD player and I'm sorry I'm annoying. Please help me."

Brooke glared at the man. "What do you want? Why are you doing this!" she screamed at him.

He let out a side smile and answered, "I want 'the one.' He has the symbol of victory tattooed on his body. When not really tattooed because he's had it since birth, but it looks like a tattoo. Well… uh… wait never mind, ya? Anyway, it is a heart engulfed in flames."

Brooke put her hand to her lower right torso, above her right hip. She shook her head, stamped her foot on the ground, and yelled, "Why?"

The man rolled his eyes as if he was growing impatient with her. "He is the only one with enough strength to defeat Zanarkand."

Brooke looked over at her little sister, she wanted nothing more than to take her place. I still don't understand any of this. "Ok, but no one here knows what you are talking about. So, why are you doing this? Did you ever think maybe it was a false proclamation?"

The man scratched him head with the gun. "Well I uh.. I never thought of that…" He then put the gun back to Ree-Ree's head. "Well, if there is no one left from Besaid, no one can rise against us."

"So you would hurt a 9 year old?"

He laughed. "Hurt? No, never."

Brooke felt uneasy at the way her said that and her fear were made real with her next sentence.

"Kill. Now that is a different story…"

Brooke gasped. "But why? She is just a little girl. Don't do that, please. Take me instead!"

He looked up at her and said, "Don't worry, you'll get your turn too, just wait a little longer. Now say goodbye."

"No!" she screamed. She took her dagger and threw it at the man. It grazed his hand, causing him to miss her head, but he got her in the back. Shit! She ran to Ree-Ree who was falling forward. She caught her just before she hit the ground. She turned her over and looked into her emerald eyes. "Ree-Ree, I'm so sorry!"

The little girl coughed and said, "No, I'm sorry, Brookie. You were the greatest big sister. I love you…"

Brooke eyes were filling up with tear as she hugged her little sister and said, "I love you too… I love you too…"

The little girl's body became motionless. Brooke leaned her back and looked at her. She put her hands to the girl's eyes and closed them. She then ran her hands through the girl's fiery red hair. "Ree-Ree. No. Yevon, NO!" She laid her body down and stared at the little girl who was once so full of life, just lying there… dead.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her by the hair and her own dagger was being used against her. It was placed against her neck. "You like to throw sharp objects, ya? Let's go. I'm taking you to the commander."

Brooke attached her remaining dagger to her side and slowly got off the floor. He led her to the center of town. "We wait."

After a few moments a brunette girl wearing sunglasses walked out of one of the huts. "Is he the last one alive?"

"Him and this one," the man with orange hair said as he threw Brooke to the ground.

The brunette looked at the man, smiled and said, "Ah, Wakka, did you take care of that little runt?"

"Yes, ma'am. With much difficulty, I might add." He held up the dagger and his hand that had been sliced open.

"She wasn't a runt," Brooke hissed.

The brunette girl got into Brooke's face and took off her sunglasses. Brooke looked her over. She seemed to be around the same age as her. She had two different colored eyes. One was a deep sea blue while the other was a forest green. She had one these short denim shorts. She had one a white shirt with the front only being held together by the Zanarkand symbol with pink lace on the bottom. Her hair was short and flared out, except for this one really long piece of hair that was wrapped. On her waist was a belt that had a gun holster and was attached to half a long skirt. It covered one leg and was blue and white. She had on boots that came up to her knees and tied up the front.

"What did you say?"

Brooke looked away from her and said, "You heard me."

The girl grabbed her face and pulled it so she was looking at her. "No, I don't believe I did. Repeat it for me."

Brooke gave her a dirty look, said, "Repeat this," and spat in her face.

The brunette smacked her across the face. "Disgusting."

Brooke turned her head so she was facing the young girl again. Her face was in pain but she didn't let it show. "What do you want?"

"Well…" She put her sunglasses on the top of her head. "It was prophesized that the one capable of stopping us is to come from this island. But if the people from the island are gone… well then so is the threat…"

Brooke glared at her. "You disgust me."

"Oh, I'm hurt." The girl motioned something to one of the soldiers, who in turn lifted Brooke to her feet. She looked into her azure eyes and said, "Your eyes hold so much hatred. Should I be sacred?" She laughed. "Yea, that's it. Oh well, I have no use for you."

"Argh! Let me go!" The brunette turned on her heels and looked in the direction of the scream. Another scream echoed throughout the town. "AHHHHH!"

"Wakka, stop." The girl walked to where Wakka was standing. He threw Brooke's dagger to the floor and stood at attention.

Brooke looked over at her dagger. It was filled with blood. The hell? She moved slightly to see whom her dagger had been used against. "Tidus." She gasped. He was sitting in a pool of blood.

The bicolor-eyed brunette looked at Brooke then back at Tidus, "Tidus, is it?"

He looked away from her. 'What's it to you?"

She leaned her wait on one foot and put her right hand on her hip. "I could spare your like, and you speak to me like that?"

Tidus looked up at her. "Who are you?"

"I'm am Yuna Valenti, leader and commander of the Zanarkand armed forces."

He looked down at his hands. "You and your stupid 'armed forces' killed my family and everyone I love. Why would I care if I live?"

"Well… not everyone." She snapped her fingers. Within seconds two guards grabbed Brooke and dragged her forward. "I didn't kill her."

"Brooke!" He went to run to her, but Yuna stepped in front of him. "Uh… no. I don't think so. Does she mean something to you?"

"Leave her alone," he growled through his teeth.

"I'll take that as a yes." She turned around looked Brooke over then turned back to Tidus. "Then you will do as I say." She looked towards Wakka and nodded.

Wakka lifted his gun and bashed him in the back of the head with the butt of the gun. Tidus collapsed to the floor. By this time the guards had loosened their grip on Brooke. Therefore, when Wakka went to touch Tidus' body, it was easy for her to shake loose from their grasp. She threw her remaining dagger at Wakka screaming, "Don't touch him!" After throwing the dagger, she back hand springed to her other dagger. After rearming herself she charged at Wakka. She lunged at him, but he grabbed her wrist before the dagger could make contact with his skin.

He laughed in her face. She grimaced and kneed him in the groin. "Laugh at that." He released her from his grip and crouched on the ground. She ran to her other dagger and stood in her fighting stance. "I may not have a chance, but I won't go without a fight."

Wakka got up from his crouched position. He took out his sword and readied for battle. They charged each other. When the metal from her daggers hit the metal from his sword it made a brash sound. In this battle, the only advantage Brooke had was her speed. Wakka was stronger and more experienced. When it looked like the fight was over and Wakka had won, Brooke flip kicked his hand, sending the sword flying. When she landed and went to strike again, she stopped dead in her tracks. He had a pistol pointed straight at her head. She dropped her hands to her sides.

"Drop 'em." He warned.

She sighed and dropped one dagger, but latched the other on her belt. He held up her hands to show him she was 'unarmed.'

"Move." He pushed her to where the 'master' was standing.

"You've caused us enough problems. Everyone else was easy, but you put up a fight. Much like that little brat over there." She pointed to Ree-Ree.

Brooke stared right into the girl's eyes and said, "She wasn't a brat, she's my sister."

The girl shrugged and said, "Yea and now, she's dead."

Brooke had heard enough. She grabbed her dagger and took a swipe at Yuna. The blade sliced across herleft shoulder. Yuna grabbed her shoulder and glared at her. "Kill her."

At this command, every soldier came at her. Being extremely outnumbered, Brooke fought with all she was worth, until she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head that caused her to collapse to the floor. The last image she remembered was Tidus' body lying motionless a few yards from her. "Tidus…" she called out before blacking out.
