Okay, thank you so much for the reviews. You have no idea how much they mean to me. Seriously. :)

Dedication to all my reviewers, totally... awesome!!

"Yuna, go and heal Kimahri, he's struggling!"

The call of his boyfriend was heeded before a blitzball was launched into the person behind him.

This wasn't Wakka's day, at all.

"Yes."

Yuna rushed to his large ronso friend, a commonly feared blue gazelle appearance-like animal that had more fur than words he would speak in a lifetime.

Kimahri remained kneeling on the ground, fighting to keep his mistress high summoner safe, but he gave a sigh when the same person came behind him, tapping her Nirvana rod on his shoulder, using both pale hands to heal some of his wounds. Even with an effort, it was only enough energy to attack all those in close range.

"There's too many." Lulu muttered angrily, holding both hands above her head before slamming them in front of her, making a scorching fire wall to blow through all that dared to enter her fury. The longer she fought, the more she realised her son was unsafe in the arms of his mother. "We need to fend them off."

It was true, many Shinra soldiers dressed in Red and Blue were comming in by the loads upon the Mushroom Rock water shores, no one knew where they were coming from.

"Move!!"

Tidus instantly spun around. He could recognise that voice from anywhere.

"Rikku, where the hell have you been?"

The small petite girl ran in. She wore a spaghetti strapped yellow shirt high cut with grey shorts. Her hair was the same, as well as high cut light blue chuck tailors. With her hands in her mixing belt, she placed different things in her empty capsule, getting past the dark busty mage, she looked out in the horizon, seeing Tidus, Wakka and Kimahri on the front line. "Sorry! Tell ya' later, but get down!!"

"Get down?" Wakka jumped in the air to reclaim his unorthodox weapon. "What the-... whoa!"

The instant his feet landed impact on the ground, he trembled back on his backside to see a massive series of tidal waves crashing through around the Shinra soldiers, one by one.

It was at that point the main units started to retreat, all but the higher rank ones. Rikku gave a growl. "What does it take to get rid of you?!"

"This."

As if things weren't weird, everything felt like slow motion.

People stuttered, falling motionless. Everyone looked around, the eerie silence was enough to confuse the strong, even Kimahri felt the need to pull his strong guard down for the brief second. A muffled voice like that was enough to startle the confident, to silence the loud.

That's just how the Legendary Guardian made his entrance. Deathly, stoically and somewhat simple.

Without word, a massive tribal-like sword came flying down at lightspeed, piercing the Earth upon impact. On the instant, a jet black radiant blast came out of the cracked Earth like wildfire, crawling and burning upon the enemy as their piercing screams filled the air.

A lot of corpses laid on the ground, debris floating upon the Mushroom Rock beach.

And he grabbed his sword.

"Sir Auron!"

Yuna was first to respond, grabbing possession of her Nirvana Wand, she walked over to her Father's friend with a small smile. Tidus rolled his eyes. It was natural, Auron was always the one who stole his thunder away from Yuna. Sir Auron? What's so great about him anyway?

"My apologies for the lateness." Auron claimed his sword, placing it on his hip in his sheath.

"Where were you two?" Wakka was first to imply, "We were out here getting our butts kicked ya? Then you two show up like superman!" Lulu just looked at her husband with that evil glare. Sometimes, there was just no point in restraining someone so emotional.

"I had an excuse!" Rikku huffed, giving a big smile. Tidus rolled his eyes, "Theft?"

Rikku glared at the Star Blitzballer.

"It doesn't matter, they're here now." Lulu warned Tidus and Wakka. "Thank you Lulu!" Rikku gave a smile, but Auron restrained Rikku on the irony, she always had such a smart mouth. "Rikku."

Taking one final look around, there were many bodies scattered upon the beach. Many of the villagers came out of hiding, their beautiful vibrant beach had once again fell victim to the result of war. Numerous took heavy damage, while some laid upon the ground looking at the beach, lifeless. The bloodshed had started once again.

But this type of threat to Besaid was much bigger than Sin and Vegnagun.

Much bigger.

"Aeris, are you sure?"

The girl gave a simple nod. Such beautiful emerald green eyes could not lie.

"Yes. I'm sorry that I couldn't be of much help Vincent."

Zack brushed her light cinnamin brown hair back, assisting her as she parted it into a braid. She was wearing her fetched dress her boyfriend insisted on grabbing. She already had a shower after helping tidy up the surprise attack, (even though her boyfriend once again insisted she didn't help) but she felt like part of it was her fault. Zack kissed her forehead, "You did fine, Aeris."

Aeris had always been such a caring and nurturing person,

That's why Zack had loved her so much.

Vincent shut the curtain to the infirmary, leaving Zack and Aeris to comfort each other in their time of need. Bowing his head, he felt like there was a part of himself missing in his distant soul.

"Cid and Tifa. It's possible they escaped." Cloud was never one to comfort another, especially someone so similar to himself like Vincent. Vincent just stood against the wall beside Cloud, Cloud knew Vincent was not one to sit around and mourn over something that could be fixed. "Aeris never lies. Her heart is too pure."

Cloud nodded his head, that was indeed true.

Cid is a wise person above his cursing and anger management abilities. He was smarter than he portrayed himself to be, his logic was something that Cloud and Vincent never tampered with, but his impatientness and rage led to his dismay and downfall. But he had Tifa to calm him down, or so Vincent says. Apparently, Tifa was a very calm person, hopefully she could use her admirable trait to assist Cid in their 'apparent' retreat.

Cloud and Vincent hoped that sexism wasn't also a trait that Cid carried for that sake of their lives.

"SeeD soldiers. So they propose war." Vincent folded his hands, bowing his head and shutting his eyes as much. Cloud stood against the window, looking at the territory walls that Cid built alongside his friend Barret, who also had a temper much like Cid. Sometimes it was a wonder how the two were friends and one point, then threatening to kill each other and burn their house down the next.

"Typically. They sent their top assassins. Even if one managed to escape." Replying in such a quiet and muffled tone, Cloud just stood there.

"How's Aeris?" Both distant fighters turned their head at the same time, focusing back on Zack, who brushed his porcupine hair back with a small sigh. "She's better now. Still a bit shaken."

Then they turned their heads back. Proposed in deep thinking.

"Teef's strong enough to beat SeeD Soldiers, she has Cid with her anways." Zack sat down beside his cousin less composed. Throwing his hands behind his head with his legs far apart, he looked at his cousin, then his best friend.

The matter at hand is whether they're okay. Cloud looked outside, he knew everything would be okay with a trusting person such as Cid. He was supposed to look after Tifa the second she arrived in AVALANCHE territory, and on the instant she stepped foot in the lands, she was assulted and possibly assassinated by one of the strongest forces, ever.

"Cid is smart, he can do-..." Zack was cut off. This cutting off this had been becoming a habit recently.

But big footsteps could be heard as they climbed the stone steps up to the infirmary.

Vincent hid behind with his gun ready to shoot, Cloud stood there angrily with his swords, ready to attack whereas Zack stood by the curtain his girlfriend slept behind.

"Hey! Where the fuck are you bloody dumb fucking nurses?! We fucking need help you useless fucking people, fucken hell!"

Only someone such as the Rocket Scientist would have the ability to use the F cuss word five times in such a simple sentence.

"Cid!"

Zack slammed opened the door on the sound of his voice, to reveal a dark tanned middle aged man, rugged appearance as always with his cigarette hidden behind his ear. His blonde hair that was normally spiked up slightly laid motionless flat on his scalp, his muscular arms held the body of a milky pale busty woman.

"Yer' damn right, what the fuck do I gotta do to get some fucking help around here?" Cid's temper was typically building up, but Vincent was the first to respond as he swooped the beautiful girl in his arms and rushed behind the curtain where the nurses were with Aeris. Cid sat down on the chair, where a nurse came and tended to the cut above his eye. His clothes had minor patches and smears of blood, but it took a lot more than an assassination crew to take down someone strong like Cid.

"Cid. Tell me what happened." Cloud sat down beside the Rocket Scientist after he finished being tended to. He even cared less as to have a cigarette right in front of the nurses that were rather outraged with the smoke.

"I went to Luca to get the lil' princess just like Vincent asked. We landed on the terminals, but then Teef said she heard footsteps." Cid breathed out his smoke, before putting it in his mouth. Vincent silently stood behind Zack as he patiently listedned.

"Then next thing I knew, bloody SeeD assholes came through the Second Floor doors. Thank fucking God she had Vincent's hearing." Cid praised as he sat there, inhaling his cigarette. "They put up on heckuva fight, but a fucking sharpshooter was on the rooftop about to shoot, but it was Teef that pushed me outta the way." Cid looked at Vincent, "That girl can fight, I can fucking tell you that Vincent. But she took the bullet for me."

Vincent nodded his head, but the nurses were able to take the bullet out of her thigh and stablize her before any serious actually over come her.

"Tell her I said thank you." Was all Cid said before he finished his cigarette.

"Thank you Cid. She is very grateful you saved her."

But Cid shrugged his shoulders, he didn't really like praise.

"So, now what do we do?" Cid asked, throwing the butt of the cigarette on the ground without a care. Cloud was too busy looking at the girl's silhouette through the curtain, she was beautiful indeed.

"Take revenge." Vincent proposed, folding his hands. Cloud knew what he was trying to say. "The SeeD's were expecting this to be a success, and it is unlikely the only survivor could make it back to Balamb." "Exactly."

Zack looked back at his girlfriend once more, then to his friends.

"War." And here I was thinking it was past me again.

Well, here's the update! I'll try again sometime soon okay?
