Chapter 1

It's almost midnight. The streets of Luca are packed with people of all ages. It's cold and the rain has barley stopped but that doesn't seem to put a damper on party-goers and warriors from all over Spira who came to celebrate the arrival of the legendary warrior, Rena. YRP's celebrations had to be cut short thanks to a mysterious warrior.

Yuna, Rikku and Paine were all dressed up in their songstress dress spheres. Brother and the boys were setting up the airship for their "boys-only food fight".

Rikku was already on her way out.

"As much as I would love to stick around and watch you boys embarrass yourselves," Rikku spun on on her heel, "we have a show to rock out."

"Hey! Aren't you gonna stay for our sphere powered Ochu burger firing guns?" Brother whined.

"I'll pass." Paine said monotonously. "Yuna are you coming?"

Yuna scampered to the door.

"Have fun boys!"

*o*o*o*

Yuna, Rikku and Paine went down to the bar, laughing and skipping. As soon as they walked in, the place seemed to liven up. A waiter led them backstage.

"No time for warm-ups girls!" Rikku giggled. "Ready?"

Paine grinned. "Stay on guard."

"Ooooh why? Everyone is just trying to have some fun!"

Paine shook her head. "There's a lot of people with weapons around here because of the celebrations. Don't underestimate them."

Rikku stuck her tongue out. "Okay mum!"

"Minus 5 points Rikku!" Paine yelled.

"Hey!" Yuna giggled, "Knock it off you two! It's time!"

They sang Real Emotion and later, a dance remix of 1000 Words.

After the show they ordered some food and danced to every song that played.

*o*o*o*

Everything seemed to be going well until Yuna noticed something on the floor.

"I wonder where Rikku is." Yuna said to herself. Walking over to the table where they were sitting, she noticed something shiny under an open window. She instantly froze.

"Paine! Paine!" Yuna yelled frantically.

Paine immediately rushed to the table and examined the object.

"A garment grid. Rikku's garment grid." Paine sighed. " And the warrior dress sphere is missing."

They bolted out the door. Paine and Yuna ran aimlessly through the streets searching every place they could get to that wasn't completely crowded.

It was almost midnight. The streets of Luca were packed with people of all ages. It was cold and the rain had barley stopped but that didn't seem to put a damper on party-goers and warriors from all over Spira who came to celebrate the arrival of the legendary warrior, Rena.

Meanwhile, Yuna and Paine were on the verge of encountering a kidnapper.

"What if we don't find her in time, Paine?"

"Yuna!" Paine stopped. "Over there!"

The two girls dashed into an empty pathway where a tiny body lay perfectly still on the cold, wet concrete.

They immediately changed dress spheres. Paine drew her sword. Yuna fired rapidly into the darkness. A dark figure moved swiftly above their heads. Paine back flipped. Her sword barley touched the dark figure as it disappeared out of sight.

"Rikku!" Yuna cried. She dropped her pistols and sunk to her knees beside the young girl.

Paine knelt beside Yuna.

"She wasn't beaten or injured in anyway. She's poisoned. Her HP is dangerously low" Paine said. "We need to get to the airship right now. Whoever did this could still be around."

Yuna nodded. She switched to her White Mage dress sphere and begun casting Esuna.

"Yunie? Paine? Is that you?" Rikku sobbed.

"Hold still." Yuna whispered. She then casted Curaga.

Rikku stood up slowly.

"I was sitting at the table, drinking a smoothie," Rikku started, "then a warrior with a hoodie came over. We talked for a bit and then I noticed that they'd been trying to reach for my garment grid! So I switched to my Thief dress sphere and then we started fighting!" Rikku gestured with a fist.

"So how did you end up here?" Paine questioned.

"Who ever they are, tried to take my garment grid and then jumped out the window!" Rikku folded her arms. "So I chased 'em all the way here and that's when they knocked me out."

"We found your garment grid but..." Yuna paused.

"But?"

"Your warrior dress sphere is missing." Paine said.

"Oh poopie!" Rikku whined. "I wanna go home. I've had enough of these crappy celebrations."

Yuna and Paine nodded.

The three girls begun to walk back to the airship when a young monk approached them.

"Greetings Lady Yuna, Lady Rikku and Lady Paine."

"Hiya!" Rikku winked.

"I am Dai, personal gurdian and friend to legendary warrior Rena."

Yuna's eyes grew wide in amazement.

"The Lady Rena requests to meet with you upon her arrival. Her ship will arrive here at Luca at midnight."

"Alright then. Let's go." Yuna replied.

*o*o*o*

The docks were full of people all dressed in armour. Dai led the way. Being the highly respected guardian that he was, people quietly stepped aside to make way. Dai went to the front of the ship to aid Rena's grand entrance.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Brave warriors of Sprira. Bow before the Legendary Warrior, Lady Rena!"

The musicians began to play a harmony, the fireworks were set and a carpet of gold was rolled out as Rena strut into the moonlight revealing her long luxurious red hair that touched the ground.

Paine was a little surprised but did her best to hide her reaction. Rena looked directly into Paine's crimson eyes. No one else saw this or even knew what was going through either of their minds.
