My POV:

As Ashe finished her statement, the rest of us smiled with relief. "Woo!" I shouted happily as I hugged Vaan.

"We can't celebrate yet Hikari." Sem told me as he turned to Ashe and Basch. "We need a Paling to protect the city from debris." I stared at him in silence, and so did Penelo, Vaan, Deo, and Jrew.

"How are we going to do that in time?" Basch asked a bit roughly.

"There's no proper place." Ashe told Sem worriedly.

"The highest place in this palace will do." Sem told her calmly.

Ashe counteracted, "We don't have the necessary materials for a Paling right now Sem."

"But we have to hurry before the people get hurt!" I exclaimed worriedly.

Deo turned to me, "Hikari. Calm down. We'll figure out a way."

"Well what if we can't figure out a way quick enough!" Penelo shouted.

"Stop!" Sem shouted. Everyone instantly shut up and Sem turned to Ashe. "I'll do it then." Sem told her. He held his staff tightly. "Gather all the mages you can find and send them to the highest place in the Palace, which is the…."

"Rooftop Courtyard." Ashe answered for him as she nodded and hurried off with Basch. Sem turned to Deo and Penelo.

"You two will come with me." he said. Then he turned to Vaan, Jrew, and me. "Hold them here. We have to make sure no enemies get in the Palace."

"Right!" Vaan, Jrew, and I shouted as we ran off to the entrance. Once we got there, we could see some of the guards struggling with some soldiers. I swiftly got my guns out and started shooting at the enemy soldiers, quickly bringing them down. Jrew and Vaan had gone to the other entrances of the palace to help.

"Hikari!" Vaan shouted as he flashed me a thumbs up and handed me two Hi-Potions. I caught them and quickly stuffed them in my pouch as I shot another soldier down. My adrenaline was getting to me as I quickly shot two more soldiers and roundhouse kicked one in the face. I kicked another soldier in the stomach and shot him on the side. Quickly putting my guns back, I conjured up a Blizzara spell and froze some of the soldiers running towards us. I heard a grunt from my right side and turned to find one of the soldiers hit with an arrow. I quickly tossed him a Potion and he caught it.

"Look out below Hikari!" I heard Penelo scream from above. I looked up and widened my eyes, seeing a piece of debris quickly falling towards me. I gasped and quickly shoved me and the rest of the soldiers away, the debris crushing the enemy soldiers. I coughed at the cloud of dust that formed from the debris. I tore my attention away from the enemies being crushed as I saw some more soldiers rushing towards the entrance in fury. I smirked as I got one of my guns out and shot. As the bullet fired, I quickly fired a Fira spell and combined it with the bullet to make….that's right…flaming bullets! Oh yeah! I jumped up happily as the fire-bullet exploded once it shot one of the soldiers, immediately making the surrounding soldiers injured from the explosion. I felt more energized after drinking a Hi-Potion and quickly shot the rest of the incoming soldiers.

"The Paling's up!" I heard some random guard exclaim. As the guards finished off the rest of the soldiers, I looked up with relief as I did see the Paling. I saw Larsa's ship and a fleet of other airships following right behind him. I kicked a soldier in the side that was coming towards me and blasted him with a Fira spell.

"Larsaaaaaa!" I exclaimed happily as I waved excitedly at the very first airship. I saw a small wave and knew that was Larsa. I turned to go in, but an arrow whizzed past my head. I let out a huff as I turned around to see an Archer pointing another arrow at me.

"Oh no you don't! You're not ruining my joy!" I shouted as I shot the guy from afar and ducked as the arrow barely missed me. Another soldier jumped on top of me and held a knife to my neck.

"Hahahaha time to die little girl. You've done eno-WHOA!" the soldier shouted as I head-butted him square in the nose.

"Go away!" I growled as I shot him in the face and threw him out the door. I quickly hurried inside before any stupid asses ruin the vicory, Jrew and Vaan meeting up with me as we went into the meeting room.

Jrew yelled, "I saw you throw that guy out the door. Was that really you?" I stuck my tongue out playfully and smiled.

"No one's getting in the way of my fun!" I shouted happily as I threw open the door of the meeting room. Ashe was in there, as well as a whole lot of other people. Vaan, Jrew, and I saw Basch, Penelo, and Deo holding an unconscious Sem. Sem's staff was floating in the center of the room as I stared at it in awe. I snapped out of it and turned to the group of other mages that looked exhausted, but otherwise ok.

Ashe explained, "Basch and I had to help get all of them down here to safety after the Paling was up. Let's heal the others while we wait for Sem to regain consciousness. Deo, please set him on the floor." I quickly went to some of the mages and handed them some Potions and cured some of their injuries.

"Thank you." one of the female mages told me. I smiled softly.

"You're welcome." was my reply as I proceeded to heal the others with Vaan and Jrew. Penelo and Deo had drank up some potions themselves and sat down for some rest. Balthier and Fran had also rushed in as well.

"Is everyone all right?" Fran asked. We nodded and she went over to me.

"I suppose you know Larsa has arrived. He and the other Archadian forces will stop this destruction at once." Fran told Ashe as she sat down next to me. I smiled and the others cheered happily. I looked down at my lap, my eyes downcast.

"Hikari. I apolo-" I cut Balthier off by holding a hand up.

I replied softly, "It's all right. Please don't say anything. I should have more trust in Oniichan, right? He'll be fine." I looked up with determination. Balthier kneeled in front of me and held my hand.

"You sure you are all right?" he asked me. I nodded and forced my hand out of his as I stood up. I grabbed my backpack and pulled out Oniichan's jacket as I replaced it with mine. *Oniichan….no matter who you're with now. You're always with me, and I'm always with you. Please be safe* I thought as I bit my lip worriedly. I paced around the room for a bit, trying to speed up the time.

My head turned towards Sem, who was still lying unconscious. I went over to him and kneeled down with Vaan. "Come on Sem. Wake up." I whispered as I closed my eyes. Vaan was holding my hand and I rested my head on his shoulder. All of a sudden, Sem started to stir and I sat upright. I helped him up and he sat on one of the chairs. Ashe decided for us to have a meeting, and the mages seemingly didn't want to leave, so we let them be.

Sem slowly stood up from the chair and looked around at all of us. He then said, "I have no magic." and walked out of the room. All of us stood there dumbfounded, even Ashe, Deo, Balthier, and Fran.

"W…..WHAAAATTTT!" Penelo, Deo, and I shrieked.
