When Lyla woke up she was in Leblanc's bedroom, she saw all of her friends staring at her. Lyla sat up feeling no more pain. "Uh oh" said Ryley.

"What is it Ryley Lyla's awake that's a good thing" said Anya.

"Um well Jian wanted to be here" said Ryley.

"Where is Jian?" asked Lyla.

"Fighting fiends in the Thunder Plains" said Vidina.

"Jian stayed here all last night, until he made sure that you were ok, then he went to fight fiends" said Anya.

"Anyone know where all those fiends came from?" asked Lyla.

"Well actually they were Bevelle Soldiers, your mum told me and Jian" said Ryley. Suddenly Leblanc came into the room.

"I see you're awake now" said Leblanc.

"Yes thank you" said Lyla. Leblanc nodded and went out of the room.

"So what did you guys find out?" asked Ryley.

"My dad wants revenge, he broke out of the Farplane to have more than one moment with my mum. The Fayth think that if he remembers me, that he will stop" said Lyla.

"Vidina go and get Jian" said Anya, Vidina nodded and left the room. Ryley's Comm link then gave a buzz.

"An if is not good enough, we need something better" said Gippal.

"Have you got an idea?" asked Ryley.

"Baraili may be able to help, he knows more about Pryaflies" said Gippal as the Comm Link buzzed off.

"We're heading towards Bevelle anyway" said Anya. Just then Jian came in with Vidina.

"Ok we'll just leave you two love birds alone" said Ryley as she skipped out of the room with Vidina and Anya following close behind.

"Hey how are you feeling?" asked Jian as he pulled down his hood and walked towards Lyla and sat down on the bed.

"Fine, I think the Fayth are more shook up though" said Lyla.

"What? You can hear them even though you're in a different time?" asked Jian.

"When I call them, yes" said Lyla. "They kept saying how sorry they were when each of the Aeons fell." Said Lyla. She looked down at the bed.

"I was so scared, will Bevelle ever leave me alone?" asked Lyla sadly.

"Hey" said Jian as he brought her face up to him. "I wont let anything hurt you, or no one, not even your dad when we fight him" said Jian as he gave her a kiss. Lyla smiled. "See and Xiang says I can't make people smile" joked Jian. Lyla giggled.

Later that day the Gullwings had reached the now dead Macalania Woods. Jian, while Lyla was recovering had already found the Comm Sphere in the Thunder Plains. The woods had finally died one year after Vegnagun, they were now black and rotting away, they had lost their crystals. Ryley happily skipped ahead, while Anya had her arms wrapped around herself. Lyla and Jian just looked around saddened that the woods were dead. Vidina spun a Blitzball.

"Lets just make this quick ok?" questioned Anya wearily.

"Are you ok?" asked Lyla as she lagged behind to walk with Anya. Anya shook her head.

"I just want to get out of here" said Anya. The group stopped in their tracks as Ryley came running back to them.

"It's gone!" exclaimed Ryley.

"Oh no, are you sure, you did look where Shinra told you to" said Anya. Ryley nodded.

"Think it's Leblanc?" asked Vidina.

"Nah, there's a rumour going round, that the dark warrior lives here, and that it's evil" said Ryley. She laughed, but then she looked at Anya who looked pale. "Hey you know that's not true, the dark warrior challenges us sometimes" said Ryley.

"Yes but it might be different here, it might actually kill people" said Anya.

"Someone's here" said Jian. Everyone was silent.

"Jian stop scaring Anya!" exclaimed Ryley as she walked up to Jian. Lyla ran up to both of them.

"Listen Ryley, Jian doesn't joke about stuff like this" said Lyla

"Hey look what I found!" exclaimed Vidina, as he used the world champion to cut down a few branches to reveal a small grassy area, where there were potions, food, drink and two Comm Spheres. The group walked into the area as Ryley looked at the Comm Sphere.

"Yep, these are them, but this one comes from where the lake used to be" said Ryley as she picked them both up. The group turned to go, but someone jumped down from the trees blocking their way. Dressed in a black cloak sealing the person's identity.

"Give them to me, or it's hurt time!" she exclaimed. Ryley shook her head and drew her daggers. Anya not feeling scared anymore drew her sword, while Jian drew his, and Lyla got out her staff.

"Look we don't want to fight, but" Anya began.

"It's for our parents" finished Ryley. The warrior lowered her sword.

"Well, well, now I've got you Dullwings" said Leblanc. The Warrior turned around and the Gullwings looked ahead of them to find Leblanc and her henchmen.

"Don't you ever give up!" exclaimed Ryley.

"But why? You helped me" said Lyla.

"Yes and now I'm taking back what's mine loves. Nothing personal" said Leblanc.

"I'm sure Nooj would like to hear how you're picking fights with Gippal's daughter" said the Warrior.

"Waa I know that voice from anywhere, Boss lets get out of here!" exclaimed Ormi.

"I'm going to count to five, if you're not gone by then. Then it's hurt time" said the warrior. Leblanc's eyes widen and she runs away with her henchmen.

"Whoo hoo and don't come back!" exclaimed Ryley. The warrior turned around to face the Gullwings.

"Were you the dark warrior that wanted to see us?" asked Anya.

"No I don't know anything about that" she said.

"Oh not the Al Behd again at the Calm Lands, they're always trying to get us to go there" said Ryley.

"You must have had a rough time" said Lyla suddenly figuring out who she was.

"Huh? Who are you?" asked the warrior.

"Oh sorry I'm Lyla and this is Jian, and I'm…" said Lyla but she was interrupted.

"Shuyin, and Lenne's daughter" she said.

"Um what is going on?" asked Ryley.

"Yeah I'm lost too" said Vidina. The Warrior then pulled her hood down. It was Paine, she took off her cloak, to reveal that she was wearing her Warrior Dress Sphere.

"Paine!" exclaimed, Vidina, Anya and Ryley in unison. For the first time in ages Paine smiled, she could see her friends in Anya and Ryley, and Vidina had grown too.
