"Hi there!" - talking

*Ugh, why?* - thinking

"Dude, what the hell?" - speaking Al Bhed

My POV:

Once we reached the entrance to the Macalania temple, we got off of the machina. A guard stopped us. "Halt! The likes of her are not welcomed in this hallowed place."

"She is a guardian." Auron and I both said. I narrowed my eyes at the guard. *Racist….* I thought.

"An Al Bhed, a guardian? Preposterous!"

"I've decided to be Yuna's guardian now, and that's all I want." Rikku explained with sadness in her eyes. I just went up to her and put my hand on her shoulder.

"And that's all one needs to be a guardian." I stated, looking straight at the guard's eyes.

"Very well…." He said. When we entered the temple, Shelinda ran up to us. I scoffed and rolled my eyes at her.

"Don't like her much?" Christian asked me. I shook my head.

"She's annoying…."

"Ah! There you are! So Lady Yuna is getting married. You shouldn't kid around about these things." Shelinda said.

"Yeah, I guess so." Tidus replied.

"You're not happy?" Shelinda asked.

"Nah, it's complicated. Say…do you know where Yuna is?" he asked.

"He really loves her, huh?" Christian whispered to me. I just nodded.

"I believe...she's gone to the Cloister of Trials with Maester Seymour." was the reply. Just then, a girl ran out.

"Lord Jyscal! A sphere, in Lady Yuna's belongings…" she exclaimed. I glared at her, what right did she have to go through someone else's belongings? We ran into the room and I looked away.

"This may well answer a few questions." Auron said as he turned on the sphere. Everyone watched, but I didn't. I had already seen it, and I didn't want to see it again. Once the sphere was done, Auron said, "Wonderful."

"Will Yuna be alright?" Rikku asked. I started to leave the room and everyone followed.

"Without us, nope." I replied with my arms crossed.

"Where you goin?" Wakka asked.

"You saw, didn't you? Seymour's bad news!" Christian and Tidus exclaimed in unison.

"But he's a maester!" Wakka exclaimed. I glared at him.

"Fine! Stay here if you want. We're leaving now with or without you!" I exclaimed as I started to walk. Wakka decided to come with us and we hurried inside. We ran to the next room and saw Seymour. He has a Guado guard on both sides of him. "Seymour!" Tidus and I shouted at the same time.

"Please be silent. Lady Yuna prays to the fayth." Seymour said.

"Make us." Christian said. Seymour turned around and walked down the steps. He smirked at Tidus and me. Yuna walked out of the chamber doors.

"Yuna!" Tidus exclaimed.

"But why…..?" Yuna asked.

"We saw Jyscal's sphere." Tidus said.

"You killed him." Auron said to Seymour.

"What of it? Lady Yuna, certainly you knew of these things, did you not? Well then, why have you come here?" Seymour asked.

"I came…I came to stop you!" Yuna exclaimed as she stood beside us.

"I see..you came to punish me then." Seymour replied. He extended her hand towards her, but she backed away. He turned to me and did the same thing to me, but Christian and Tidus both pulled me behind them. "What a pity." We then surrounded Yuna. "Ah, of course. Protect the summoner even at the cost of one's life. The Code of the Guardian. How admirable. Well, if you're offering your lives, I will have to take them."

Yuna told Seymour, "Maester Seymour. I trust my guardians with my life. But they are also my friends. I will not stand by and watch them be hurt. I will fight you, too!"

"Alright!" Tidus and I screamed out.

"So be it." Seymour simply said. Rikku and I both looked at each other and nodded. We stole the potions from his two guards and attacked them head on. We defeated them soon enough. Seymour looked at me, "Carmina. It is not too late to change your mind. Come. Become my daughter and we will rule Spira!" I shook my head and spat at him.

"You digust me!" I exclaimed as I casted Holy on him. I casted more elemental spells on him. "Watch out you guys! He has a pattern on elementals." I muttered to them, especially to Lulu and Yuna. Once his HP dropped to half I'm guessing, he summoned Anima.

"Feel my pain. Come, Anima!" he exclaimed. Yuna summoned her new aeon, Shiva. Anima killed Shiva though. Ixion and Ifrit also died. She decided to stop, so we took over. As Christian slashed Anima, I remembered her overdrive. She was probably going to go for Christian. She started up her overdrive.

"NO! CHRISTIAN!" I exclaimed as I pushed him out of the way. The overdrive hit me instead. I was in darkness and I only saw Anima. It attacked me with its overdrive. Once it was over, I fell to the ground.

"Carmina!" everyone exclaimed. My mouth was bleeding and blood was dripping from my head. I just shook my head. My sides were hurting like fuck.

"N-no…Don't worry about me…Defeat him…NOW!" I exclaimed. I struggled to get up. Christian went over to me and helped me. His bangs were covering his hair.

"You didn't have to do that." he whispered. I managed a small smirk.

"It's -cough fine. H-hey….wanna -cough- deliver the -cough- f-f-final blow together?" I asked. He looked at me with a smirk and nodded. We helped me stand up and he held my hand. Together, we ran to Seymour and killed him. He fell to his knees.

"Yuna….you would pity me now?" he asked. Yuna closed his eyes as he died. The door to the room opened. I just groaned, great, they're here.

"Lord Seymour! What happened here?" Tromell asked.

"What…..what have I done?" Wakka questioned.

"Wait a minute! It's not our fault at all! Seymour struck first! He's the bad guy!" Tidus started to explain. He saw me leaning against Christian and walked over to me. He took me in his arms. "His aeon even did this to Carmina!" Christian took off my backpack and carried it. I guessed Tidus was going to carry me. Tromell stood up.

"You did this?"

"Yuna. Send him." Auron commanded.

"No! Stop! Stay away from him traitors!" They left the room with Seymour's body.

"Traitors?" Yuna asked as she dropped to her knees. After all the talking, we exited the room, only to find the Cloister of Trials undone.

"Wait!" I exclaimed, only to end up coughing. "Tidus, help me ok? Christian, you know what to do." I said. They both nodded. In no time, we finished it. I looked up at Tidus and told him, "Let Kimahri carry me. It'll be faster." He nodded and gave me to Kimahri.

"Do not worry. Kimahri make sure Carmina safe." Kimahri said. I smiled up at him.

"Thank you." I said. When we escaped from them, we saw the Wendigo and two Guado guards. "Let me down Kimahri. I can handle the pain now." He let me down as I asked and I grabbed my backpack from Christian. I stole from the two Guado and threw grenades at them. Ugh, I had a major headache. *Shit…my side…* I thought.

"Hey! Are you sure you can handle it by yourself?" Tidus asked. Christian looked over at me with worry and so did everyone else.

"Everyone. Leave this to me. Yuna, you need to rest." I stated. I attacked the Wendigo, with the help of Auron and Wakka. Before it died, the Wendigo pounded on the ice. The ice broke and I held onto Christian's hand while we fell. All I remember was everything turning white.

-GASP- Oh no...Carmina took the blow, but she looks like she handled it well! Heh ^^
