Sacred Mount Gagazet. Home of the Ronso people, gaurdian of Zanarkand, City of the dead.
They approached Mount Gagazet, the tallest, coldest mountain in all of Spira, that was also home to the Ronso; the blue humanoid lion people who always talked in third person.
Everyone gasped in awe.
"Hey the rocks are floating!!" Yuna exclaimed. The rocks WERE floating!
"Don't tell me we have to climb up that thing?!" Rikku said nervously.
"No worries, were taking you to the top." Buddy said and with that, they got higher, and Yuna, Rikku and Paine all jumped out and landed on an old tall ruin, about 8 metres off the ground. Yuna looked down, and felt faint. She then began to fall backwards.
"Yuna!" Rikku and Paine exclaimed, and clasped her hands.
Rikku's communications device began.
"So, how is everything going?" Brother asked over the device.
"Disasterrific!" Rikku shouted.
"Disasterrific is not a word...Say Disastrous, like the rest of Spira!" He went on.
"Not listening!" Rikku replied.
"Want me to hurt him?" Paine asked.
"That would be great!"
One final heave, ho and they lifted Yuna.
"Thanks, that was a little close..." Yuna said.
"A little?" Paine asked.
"Come in!" Brother shouted over the device.
"We're here, everything's fine now." Yuna reassured him.
"Yuna, keep a close eye on Rikku." Brother said.
"You got it."
Shortly afterwards they were jumping up and down ruins until they climbed down some old stairs and came across a wall.
"Oh...just great..." Rikku said unhappily.
"A dead end..." Paine said.
Yuna noticed the blue machine on the wall, that was the size of one's own palm. She looked at it.
"Think this Machina works at all?" She asked.
"Give it a try." Paine answered and Yuna did.
The floor beneath them suddenly began to lower itself. Slowly, slowly.
"I wonder how safe this actually is...?" Yuna wondered.
Suddenly, the elevator jolted and was hurling to the ground beneath them, all three screaming.
Bang!
"Owwiee..." Rikku moaned.
Thier communication devices buzzed.
"What happened?! Is Yuna OK?!" Brother shouted.
"Things are..Ow...disaterrific..." Yuna answered slowly.
"Disasterrific?!" Im on my way!" Brother shouted.
The 3 stood up and went on with thier search of a sphere. After all, it was the whole reason why they were here.
"What about me?" Rikku said shaking her arms. He was her brother after all.
They climbed up some more ruins and stepped onto a pink pavement with purple outlining and began to hurry off.
"Oh!"
Yuna turned around.
"Who's there?"
Then Paine and Rikku stood alongside Yuna when Leblanc jumped the ruins from before and stood there smugly.
"Err, Leblanc, remember that name well, loves!" Leblanc said. She had never really introduced herself. Some greeting.
"Ah, The Thief." Yuna said.
"Whatever do you mean? Urgh, thats what I HATE about ametuars... They have NO concept of what it takes to be a TRUE sphere hunter!"
Rikku leaned to Yuna.
"Maybe she'l go away if we ignore her..." She said quietly.
"YOU! I heard that!" Leblanc said, pointing a finger at Rikku. "As I was saying; AMETUARS!"
"Ametuars? Wern't you the one following us?" Paine said.
"Following?! Hmph, a mere coincedence." Leblanc answered.
"You was rights boss, as always!" Ormi said, as he jumped up the ruins. Sweat appeared on Leblanc's pretty face.
"Yes, FOLLOWING them HAS payed off splendidly." Logos said as he stood next to Leblanc. Yuna and Rikku giggled. The "Unmatched" sphere hunting syndicate's secret was out in the open!
"Laugh while you can," Leblanc said, and reached for her steel fan.
There they were, 6 people in another fight. As Yuna's ammo from her guns failed to penetrate Ormi's shield, Leblanc did a swift spin, and a gush of sonic speed wind sent YRP back a few feet. Paine caught herself with her sword and charged at logos, as he fired repetatively. Yuna shot a hard bullet and it penetrated Logo's arm. He holered in pain and sat down. Ormi charged at Rikku, about to throw his shield at her, which is when she decided to immitate Yuna from earlier, and bounced off his shield- and had stolen his wallet in the process.
Ormi stood there, shocked, until Rikku kicked him really hard in the bum. It stung so much he cried.
Leblanc stood there, fan ready.
"Stop your slacking this instant, and get your act together!" She shouted, and kissed Ormi on the cheek. Suddenly, he was fit as a fiddle, and he threw his shield at Yuna at a fast pace. Paine jumped in front and used her sword to knock it back. It did, and smacked Leblanc to the ground. Rikku cut Ormi's hands with her daggers and Ormi finally cried louder then ever. Leblanc struggled to stand.
"Hmph...and this is the thanks I get for going easy on you!" She said; almost like she was never fighting, when she was clearly tired. She dropped a smoke bomb and blinded everyone for a moment, and smoke chocking them for a second or two.
"Hey!" Yuna shouted.
"Who does she think she is?!" Rikku asked, through coughs.
"SHE is getting hurt..." Paine replied.
