Yuna shook with anger now. "Stop this!" she screamed, "You want to kill me? Than kill me!"
"Don't you dare!" Wakka yelled.
"Wakka?" Yuna yelped in surprise.
"Yuna!" her three friends chorused.
She watched as Tidus came running toward the door. "Yuna, are you ok?"
"I'm fine," she said, "How's Rikku?"
"Sleeping." Tidus said, "Lulu put her to sleep after she came too so she could again tend her wounds. She's scared out of her mind, Yuna."
"He didn't get mad?" Yuna asked.
"I…guess not," Tidus said, "I don't think…Lulu! Wake Rikku up now!"
Yuna looked at Lulu's surprised face. Instantly Lulu bent to rouse the sleeping child.
"She…won't wake up?" Lulu said in surprise.
"Try harder!" Tidus demanded as he ran over.
It took all three of them to wake her up.
"Antidote!" Tidus shouted. Quickly they searched around, but there was none in sight. In desperation, Tidus forced his fingers down her throat.
"What are you doing?" Yuna asked.
"Getting rid of the poison." Tidus said as Rikku threw up green bile. Again and again Tidus shoved, and Rikku spewed. They watched as color returned to the girl's face. "What…happened?" Rikku asked groggily.
"You mean you don't remember?" Lulu asked.
"All I remember is a door opening and Wakka Pushing me in- you big meanie!- then I hit the water, and the fiend! It was so big! I tried to run, but I couldn't get out of the pool. That's all I remember."
"A poisonous fish, maybe?" Yuna asked.
"Yunie?" Rikku cried.
"Yes, I'm here." Yuna said.
"How'd you know it was poison?" Lulu asked.
"I've seen enough poisoned people to recognize the signs." Tidus replied, "At first I thought Rikku was scared, but when He didn't do anything when Lulu put Rikku to sleep, I just knew."
"Very good," the voice said, "I'm impressed. Have you all had a nice chat?"
"Let her go!" Tidus snarled.
"But I thought you wanted to know why I brought you here.
Yuna watched in horror as the screen disappeared.
"Why?" Tidus heard Yuna ask. He helped the wobbly Rikku to her feet.
"Yes, why?" he asked.
"Because," He said in a cold tone, "A year and a half ago you all took someone very dear to me away."
"Who?" Rikku asked.
"As if you don't know!" He snarled. "He was a maester, and the only bridge between man and Guado."
"Seymour!?" Yuna gasped.
"That's Maester Seymour!" He cried, "And yes, I am Guido. Maester seymour's brother."
"I never knew he had a brother," Wakka whispered.
"Our parents never mentioned me, "Guido said, "They saw what happened to my older brother. Since I looked human enough to pass, they placed me in the care of the monks at Luca temple and told everyone that I had been kidnapped and murdered! When my brother was grown, he found me and took care of me himself. He fought to bridge the gap between scum like you humans and us guado.
"When they told me he was dead, I was crushed. I searched high and low for his murderers, and finally fate brought me to you. You will pay for what you've done!"
"Seymour was bad news, ya?" Wakka said.
"He tried to kill us!" Rikku added.
"Silence!" Guido shouted. "Yuna should have been honored to marry my brother, and willing to die with him! It's time for my grande finale! Oh, and Rikku, maybe next time you'll keep better tabs on your phone!"
He was gone before they could respond.
"All units head straight for Zanerken." A voice squawked over an intercom. I'm coming guys, Luzzu thought as he helped navigate the airship. The sky looked as if a bunch of mechanical birds were headed south for winter.
"Zanerken dead ahead." Another voice squawked. Luzzu looked down at the ruined city under him.
"Copy that." He said into his radio. He just hoped they'd got there in time.
