Hi, heh, heh. Summary: Sin is dead, Tidus never faded, Auron was sent. Now 2 years later something worse than Sin appears on Spira. Can some of the group battle through a city full of monsters to unravel the mystery of what has happened and possibly who caused it in time? Can whatever has happened be stopped? It will be Aurikku in the future. Rated T. Most likely will be out of character. Should I run away now?

Chapter 1: The Beginning
It was a beautiful day on Spira, even here in Luca. The sun was shining, and the water surrounding the city looked awfully tempting to Yuna and her cousin Rikku. It looked like a good place to go swimming. But they weren't here to swim. The Aurochs were playing here tonight and it was a big game. To be exact it was the Blitzball world championship and Tidus was the Aurochs' star player. For weeks he had prepared for the game, he had practiced, and then he and some of the other guys on the island had began loading up on booze for an after-game party. It was going to be a wild night.

On the other hand Yuna was hoping more for just her and Tidus to be alone gazing out over the ocean with a candle lit dinner, maybe. They had been dating for two years now, since the defeat of Sin and he had not proposed to her yet, in fact he hadn't even mentioned marriage and that was worrying her. Of course Rikku was with her trying to keep her mind from wondering about when Tidus would propose to her, and that helped a lot.

Even after they had beaten Sin and exposed Yevon's true face, Yevon was still the main religion well it was the main religion in Bevelle that is, here in Luca the only religion anybody cared for was blitzball and blitzball isn't a religion. Luca had grown quite a bit since the defeat of Sin, several more bars had appeared, a couple hotels, a school, a gambling parlor, a tattoo shop, some teen clubs, an arcade, a sphere movie studio, a couple banks like the International Bank of Spira Lucan branch, a police department, and the first and only karaoke bar in Spira. Well with all the new businesses people had began to move here from the smaller cities and villages. Now Luca was the city that never sleeps. It would be sleeping less tonight than it usually did.

Yuna and Rikku were standing on a dock looking at the cool blue ocean, in silence. After a few minutes Rikku turned and looked at Yuna. "So…Yunie what do you want to do now?"

"Anything you want." the ex-summoner says.

"Wanna go see how practice is going for the boys?"

"Sure."

"Let's go!" Rikku says sounding a little more excited than she had intended. What girl wouldn't be excited about watching a bunch of guys swimming around shirtless playing blitzball? Sometimes even some of the newer players would lose their swimming trunks while playing.

As they began walking towards the blitzball stadium, they heard a strange sound, something was flying over. Rikku looked up and noticed it was one of those new crop dusting airships, probably the AT-40 model. "Hey, you're going the wrong way!" Rikku yelled as the airship continued over head. "You need to go that way! We don't need dusting!" After it made it almost halfway over Luca it began to release the crop dusting stuff it was carrying. "Hey, I said we don't need dusting!" Rikku yelled as loud as she could pumping her fist into the air.

"Rikku, we need to find somewhere and get inside." Yuna says, "I read in some magazine that, that stuff could be poisonous to us if we inhaled too much of it."

"Well no dah Yunie. We Al-Bhed built those airships so we know about the dusting stuff." Then they begin to run. The cloud of chemicals that the airship dropped begins to fall faster. The girls run as fast as they can trying to get inside before the chemicals make it to the ground. Suddenly as they run the cloud of chemicals seem to dissipate in the air.

"Ya think we are safe now?" Yuna asks

"We may be, but its probably best if we go inside anyway." Rikku says. The girls slow their pace down to a walk. "That was weird."

"Yeah, probably some new pilot got lost." Yuna says smiling.

"Yeah." Rikku says, "So Yunie if you believed in Yevon any longer what would you pray for?"

"I would probably pray for Tidus to propose to me." she says, "If you believed in Yevon what would you pray for?"

"Well I used to would have prayed for the Al-Bhed to be accepted. After we were accepted I think I would have prayed that Yevon send me a man. Now though…" before she can finish something big lands on top of her and knocks the breath out of her.

"Rikku are you alright?" Yuna says as she whirls around to see something big, wearing a red coat, and shaped like a human beginning to get up off of Rikku. "Sir Auron?"

"Yes." he says coldly.

"What happened?" she asks as she kneels beside of Rikku and begins trying to wake her up.

"One of the Fayth shoved me over the edge of the Farplane." he says with a scowl. Yuna begins to giggle.

"How'd you land all the way here in Luca, isn't the Farplane in Quadosalem?"

"The Farplane is everywhere." he states calmly still scowling.

"What happened Yunie?" Rikku asks as she begins to sit up. Then she notices Auron. "Auron?"

"Yes." he says coldly once again.

"Auron did you fall out of the sky on my head?"

"Yes Rikku, I did." he says still cold. Yuna begins laughing even harder than before. Suddenly the sound of the crop dusting airship is heard again. Rikku looks up and sees its flying closer to the ground this time.

"Uh guys we gotta go." she says as she and Yuna both jump up grabbing Auron by the coat and begin running trying to pull him along.

"Auron we have to get inside the stuff falling from the airship is poisonous." Yuna says and finally Auron begins to run along behind them. They make it inside just as the chemicals reach the street. After a couple of hours of worried Lucans, being in a cramped space, and Rikku asking Auron questions about the Farplane they leave the small ice cream shop.

The rest of the day passes pretty quickly with Yuna telling Auron about her and Tidus being a couple, Rikku asking him more questions about the Farplane, and Auron threatening to kill a Fayth. At eight that evening Yuna and Rikku arrive at the blitzball stadium without Auron and Auron has made a stop at one of the bars. At nine o'clock the game begins.

Sitting in a Lucan bar, off to himself, Auron thinks about the conversation he and the Fayth had before the Fayth shoved him out of the Farplane.

"Sir Auron would you like to return to Spira?" the small boy asked him giving him a pleading look.

"No."

"Don't you have any regrets?"

"Many." he says

"Sir Auron what if I told you Spira needs you?"

"I've helped defeat Sin twice."

"Its not Sin this time Sir Auron." the boy says beginning to show aggravation.

"No, let them handle whatever it is. Its their world now, have faith in them, they can handle it. It is time for them to write their own stories."

"You may be right Sir, but please listen to me. This is important, this is twice as dangerous as Sin. Sir I tell you, you are needed."

"The dead don't even get peace on Spira." Auron says as he shakes his head at the boy.

"Listen Sir Auron, you are going back to Spira whether you like it or not!" the Fayth says as he grabs Auron with the strength of ten men and shoves Auron over the edge. Many colors flew by, faster and faster as Auron tried to see where he had fallen from. He vaguely sees the shape of the Fayth waving at him. "Have a nice life." the Fayth says before disappearing into a cloud of Pyreflies, probably to go play Ice Hockey with Shiva. He wonders for an instant if the phrase, "Have a nice life." meant he was alive, again. Then he sees blue skies, above him and he's falling, faster and faster until he landed hard on something soft.

Auron thinks about it for a moment before turning his attention to the sphere that's broadcasting the game. He'd always disliked blitzball, but the boy had always liked it. Tidus was just like Jecht in some ways. He watched as Tidus pulled off one of Jecht's shots, and the crowd went crazy. The sphere focused on the cheering fans long enough for him to get a glimpse of Yuna and Rikku holding something and cheering. Did they have pom-poms? He remembered pom-poms from Zanarkand. He watched as Yuna noticed the sphere was pointed at them, grabbed Rikku and they waved at the sphere. Yuna was a lot like Braska, an altruist, calm, and usually smiling whether it was a forced smile or not. Rikku on the other hand was a little like her father, Cid, cheerful, bouncy, sarcastic, full of life, usually outgoing, sometimes selfish, and sometimes a little annoying. Today though he had noticed that Yuna now seemed happier than she did on the pilgrimage. Of course she would now she didn't have to worry about what would happen once they arrived at Zanarkand, and she didn't have to worry about Sin attacking anywhere. Rikku hadn't changed much, she now could be quite for a full ten minutes, but that was about it. He thought about Kimarhi and wondered how he was doing, and he thought about Wakka and Lulu and wondered how they were doing, last he had heard about them was that they were to be married.

Suddenly a commotion behind him caught his attention. He turned to see a man had collapsed on the floor and was gasping for breath. Quickly Auron glanced around looking for an attacker, there wasn't one. The man on the floor began to convulse before loosing consciousness. Some woman kneels beside of him and begins checking for a pulse.

"He's dead." the woman says as she slowly stands. "There is nothing I can do." She reaches to the man's chair for his jacket and begins to cover his limp form with it…Suddenly the man's hand grabs the woman's arm. She fights trying to get loose from his death grip, but before she can do anything the man has her arm pulled to his mouth, and he bites her. His teeth sink into the flesh of her arm and rips a hunk of skin out of her arm.

Auron responds almost immediately. He hasn't got a sword, but he grabs the first thing he sees that looks usable, a knife. He rushes towards the man who now has pulled the woman down beside of him and is trying to bite her again. He rushes towards the man who now has pulled the woman down beside of him and is trying to bite her again.

"Let her go." Auron says, his voice smooth, cold and demanding. The man doesn't respond to Auron. Auron rushes forward and roughly pulls the man off of the woman. The woman jumps up and runs out of the bar, being followed by half of the people inside. Auron slashes at the man, getting the man in the back. The man turns around slowly. His eyes appear glazed over, and his face is expressionless. The man begins taking slow unbalanced steps towards Auron, as if he could fall over at any minute. Auron slashes the man again, hitting his mark, the man's neck. Blood begins to ooze out of the wound, but other than that it doesn't phase the man. He continues to advance. Auron takes a step back before lunging and thrusting the knife deep inside of the man's chest. This doesn't phase the man either. Now knifeless Auron backs away from the man until he sees an empty bottle sitting on a table. Auron grabs the bottle and lunges forward breaking the bottle over the top of the mans head. Then he takes what's left of the bottle and thrusts it through the man's eye and into the man's brain. The man collapses onto the floor and stills.

Auron watches the man a few minutes before leaving the bar. "What the hell was that?" he says mostly to himself as he steps outside. People are running through the streets almost in a panic. Then he notices it on the sphere monitor outside. The blitzball game has became chaotic. People shoving, pushing and knocking other people down trying to get to an exit. People being trampled. Then he sees why, several people are attacking others in the same manner the man was attacking the woman in the bar. He thinks about Yuna, Rikku and Tidus in the stadium and begins pushing his way through the crowd of people towards the stadium.

Inside the stadium Yuna and Rikku are fighting their own battles. Several people are endlessly pursuing other people, although the Lucan police officers are trying to protect the ones who cannot defend themselves. After a while the line of police officers have decreased as more of these people begin attacking them and biting them. Finally the last of the police officers retreat backing away from the attackers. One of the cops stumbles in front of Rikku. She jumps and grabs his gun, before firing upon the attacker. After several shots to the chest, and one to the neck, the attacker collapses onto the cop, but its too late for him he's already dead. Rikku reaches down and picks up the clip the cop had dropped and puts it in her pocket. Then she notices Yuna is helping another cop, who has handed her his gun. Rikku runs towards them.

"Guys come on!" Tidus yells from the door. Yuna and Rikku turn recognizing his voice and begin trying to make their way to him. After a few minutes they arrive at the door.

"Thank god you are alright Tidus." Yuna says as she hugs him quickly. Then suddenly Auron arrives.

"Come on! We have to go now!" he yells as he pulls each one of them out of the building an into the streets.

"What's happening to this place?" Rikku asks

"I don't know." he answers roughly.

"What do we do?" Rikku asks

"We have to get out of this city!" he says, "We head for the docks."
