Andrew: Andrew figured that it'd be good to have a small story on me since I an Andris's older brother.

Johnny: That and you wouldn't stop begging for me to write one…

Andrew: Well c'mon! You know that once they finish my brother and his g/f's story they're going to want to know where I started out at.

Paine: You just want to show off your abilities and-

Andrew: ANYWAYS Eh heh heh heh heh…here's the disclaimer; Johnny doesn't own Final Fantasy at all. He's not cool enough to own it. He-

Johnny: Do you want a story or not?

Andrew: I praise your awesome writing skills everyday. You truly are a talented writer.

Paine: ………………………whatever…on with the story

Final Fantasy X-2

The Silver Sniper

(A spin-off from Final Fantasy X-2 The Chronicles of Andris and Lesca)

Ch. 1: First Encounter

In Kilika, Y.R.P. has just landed with the intention of finding a sphere. As they enter the forest, unknown to them, a young mysterious sniper about 19 yrs old is watching and following them.

Rikku: I hope we find lots of treasure! Gil…rare spheres…wonder what else we'll find!

Paine: Maybe something that'll get you quiet…

Rikku: Hey! That's not nice!

Yuna: laughs lightly

Paine: Hmm…? turns around abruptly in the archer's direction to find no one

Yuna: What's wrong?

Paine: It's nothing…let's keep going…

Sniper: from up a tree out or sight ……That was close…

(Y.R.P. continues on as the sniper, now on the ground, continues following them. After a while, he turns a corner only to lose sight of them.)

Sniper: OO Where'd they go? They couldn't have gotten that far ahead of me…looks around and walks forward a few steps

Rikku: Hiyaa!

Sniper: OO Ahh!

(The sniper blocks both her attacks with his bow and then jumps away to avoid the swing of Paine's sword. Just as he lands against the tree and gets an arrow into his bow, Yuna has a gun pointed right at his head and he instantly freezes.)

Sniper: sweatdrops

Yuna: Who are you?

Sniper: Eh heh heh…the name's Andrew…

Paine: Why were you following us!

Andrew: I was just curious…that's all…really…

Rikku: I bet you want the treasure we're after!

Yuna: That's probably it. Isn't it?

Andrew: Look…we can stand here all evening…but if you're going to shoot me…shoot me…

Yuna: …

(Later that night, Y.R.P. are sitting around a fire eating while Andrew is tied to a tree close to them.)

Andrew: This…is a fate worse than death…it's bad enough that you tied me up…but do you have to eat in front of me! C'mon, I said I was sorry for following you…can't you just let me go?

Rikku: No way! You'll just run ahead and steal the treasure!

Andrew: I told you I'm not interested in the treasure!

Rikku: We have no proof of that! eyes him You could be lying!

Paine: It's your own fault for getting caught…

Yuna: We'll untie you AFTER we get what we came for…

Andrew: stomach growls causing him to sigh and close his eyes I may die from hunger by then…

(After a few moments Paine holds a drumstick to his mouth.)

Paine: Here…I don't want your death on my conscience…

Even though Andrew was a little confused as why she would care if he was hungry or now, he decided not to question it and in seconds all the meat was gone off the bone.

Rikku: Ya know that could've been poisoned…hee hee…

Andrew: I think I'll take my chances…besides…if you were going to kill me you would've done it by now…

Yuna: yawns Well I'm going to get some sleep…night…

Rikku: Night! falls asleep

Paine: Night…turns to Andrew …don't try anything while we're asleep…

Andrew: Hard to do anything tied up to a tree…

Paine: Good…keep it that way…falls asleep

Andrew: sighs…nods off to sleep

(That night, just as Andrew started dreaming, a silver glow emitted from his pocket as if it was projecting visions into his mind.)

Woman: Andrew…

Andrew: Who…are you? I feel as if…I know you from somewhere…

Woman: You should…hugs him…my name's Sylvetta…I'm your mother my son…

Andrew: My…mother? But…I don't understand…

Sylvetta: Things will become clear in time my son…this is no mere dream you are having…if you believe what I am telling you my son…then you must find your way to Zanarkand…I will be there waiting…farewell for now…begins to fade away

Andrew: No wait! Please! Mother! Andrew wakes up with a shocked look on his face, breathing hard and slightly sweating. He then looks around to find Y.R.P. gone. Morning already…? Well…since they're not here then I guess I'll go ahead and get out of this rope…Unties himself with ease. Then gets up and puts his bow on.

Suddenly he hears running footsteps so he hides behind a tree. A group of treasure hunters runs into the direction Y.R.P. went.

Flunkie: Boss! What if someone's already getting their hands on it when we get there?

Boss: Then we'll just take them out! That treasure's ours! they continue onward

Andrew: Oh no…I know those girls are tough but they can't take on that many! follows cautiously after them

(At the Kilika Temple)

Rikku: Wow! We hit the mother load! Good thing we didn't let that Andrew go or he would've gotten it all!

Yuna: Speaking of Andrew, we still have to untie him.

Paine: hears running footsteps Someone's coming!

Rikku: Uh oh! Sounds like a lot of someone's!

(The boss and 20 treasure hunters appear blocking their way out)

Boss: So someone DID get here first…

Rikku: Yeah! So finders keepers! Losers weepers!

Boss: You'll be the ones weeping when we take it all from you!

Andrew: 21 against 3? Those aren't very cool odds. They found the treasure first so let them be!

Paine: Andrew! How-!

Andrew: Just for the record I could've escaped out of those knots at any time…

Boss: Those girls just got some valuable loot…why should we just "let them be"!

Andrew: smirks Because…nothing they could've found could be worth more than this…holds up a silver glowing sphere

Boss: What in Spira…? Forget the girls! Get that sphere boys! Do whatever it takes!

Flunkies: Yes sir!

Andrew: You'll have to catch me first if you want it that badly! puts it in his pocket and runs off with the 20 hunters and the boss chasing him

Paine: Is he crazy?

Rikku: Maybe…but at least he cleared the way for us!

Paine: We…should go help him…

Yuna: I agree. Let's go!

(Y.R.P. begins to follow after them. Deep in the woods Andrew is running and jumping to dodge enemy gunfire and magical spells cast at him.)

Andrew: That's right…keep coming…

(After leading them down a path Andrew leaps forward and swings on a vine upwards. As the hunters stupidly keep running while looking upwards, half of them run straight off a low cliff screaming. Andrew pulls out 2 arrows and they start glowing just as he fires them at the other hunters. They explode with energy on impact and scatters the other hunters just as Y.R.P. show up)

Paine: OO…whoa…

(Andrew then sets another arrow into his bow and turns towards the leader with a smirk.)

Boss: If ya want somethin' done you ya gotta do it yerself!

(Andrew and the boss face off waiting for the other to make a move. As soon as the boss draws his Alchemist-like gun and points it to Andrew, Andrew fires an arrow into the barrel causing it to explode in his hand. Andrew then rushes him and starts fighting him close range at hand-to-hand combat.)

Paine: That Andrew's not a half-bad fighter…and here I thought all archers were wimpy once you got into close-range combat with them…

(After a while, Andrew gets knocked back. After skidding to a halt he fires an arrow into the sky and then blocks the boss's incoming attack. Andrew smoothly sweep kicks his feet causing him to fall flat on his back. He then jumps off the guy's chest straight into the air and catches the now slightly glowing arrow upside-down. While still floating in the air, he aims downward as his eyes slowly fade from blue-ish green to bright silver)

Yuna: I think we'd better move!

Paine: No kidding!

Rikku: Yikes! All three take cover

Andrew: Sharpshooter Overdrive: Twilight Arrow!

(A stream of sparkles follows the arrow upon firing. A massive explosion of silver energy upon contact dealing critical damage to the boss hunter. Andrew's shadowy figure can be seen from the light with silver glowing eyes.)

Paine: My word…

Flunkie1: What in Spira was that…?

Flunkie2: Wait a minute! Could he be…!

Flunkie3: Ahh! He is! He's the "Silver Sniper"!

Flunkie2: Let's get outta here! some of them go to help up their boss

Boss: You…haven't…seen…the last of me…"Silver Sniper"…the other hunters carry him away at a rather fast pace

Andrew: glaring in their direction No challenge at all…Eyes slowly fade back to a gentle blue-green.

Rikku: Neat-O attack!

Paine: You sure sent them back home to their moms…smirks "Silver Sniper"…

Andrew: Eh heh heh…just call me Andrew…smiles slightly

Yuna: Thanks for the help Andrew. We appreciate it.

Rikku: But don't think that means that you're getting a cut of our finds!

Andrew: laughs lightly Like I told those hunters…whatever you found can't be worth more than my own treasure…See you later…turns to walk away

Paine: Where are you going…?

Andrew: …wherever my dreams take me…Which at the moment happens to be Zanarkand…shoots an arrow up in a tree and catches it now with 3 fruits on it and then starts eating them while walking.

Paine: Um…don't get yourself killed…

Andrew: I won't…you all take care too…He keeps walking until he disappears into the mist.

Yuna: We'd better get back. Brother's probably going nuts right now…

Rikku: laughs Yeah!

(Y.R.P. return to the Celsius and leave Kilika. However, elsewhere…)

Boss: "Silver Sniper" huh…? With that kind of power he must be a Sylcadian. If that's the case…and he turns out to be who I've been searching for…Lord Andross will be pleased when I take him out…low evil laugh
