Authors Note: Happy New Year! Yes, I know it's late and I've been very busy! So many story ideas are coming in my head and I've written it down. Been reading books to help with my writing so I can find better ways to describe things. And college started and I have 4 online classes and 2 face to face classes so I've been busy and haven't got a chance to finish up Part 36. ALSO I must warn you guys that yes I can be cliche (because I'm a hopeless romantic by heart and I love drama lmfao) so I hope you guys are okay with cliche's here and there. Thank you yunabesaid, bebepantheon, Funsized-killjoy, Ereneviana, and brouhahas. If I missed anyone I am terribly sorry.
IMPORTANT! I must also thank whoever added this story in their community or told someone to read my story and add it. Apparently this story is in two communities one being Final Fantasy X/X-2: The Best of the Bestand all time favourites(That is exactly how it's spelled). I'm not sure if people can add it or the founder but if it's the founder than thank you natsnomnom123 and bebepantheon who are the founders of the community. I truly feel honored that you think my story is worthy. And it's all thanks to my readers as well for the support. Now bare with me and let's get to the end together!
Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy X. Only people I own are my OC's Kenta, Jin and our favorite kick ass girl Lady Yue. (and the story line that's not apart of FFX. Enjoy. (again forgive the grammar errors and what not, I will fix them all when I look it back over.)
"Rikku, aqlammahd!" (Rikku, excellent!) Brother called back as we entered the airship which made Rikku jump for joy.
Yuna walked to the side, something still weighing heavy in her mind.
"It's going to come back, isn't it?" Yuna said sadly.
"I know." Tidus said walking around Yuna toward Cid.
I walked over to Yuna and placed my arm over her shoulder and rested my head against hers, to reassure her that everything will be fine.
"What? You're kidding me!" Cid yelled out in shock, looking to each of us.
"Sin...always comes back." I said sadly remembering the sacrifice my family had to make.
"No! We have to beat the guy inside Sin." Tidus said reminding every one of Yu Yevon.
"The Crusaders would be out of a job if it was this easy ya?" Wakka stated.
"But it has weakened. I'm sure of it." Lulu said determined.
"It was weaker than the last couple times I fought it..." I said backing up Lulu.
"Yeah! We're winning!" Rikku said running past Tidus and back to the controls she was watching over the first time.
"All right, I'll do what I can with the main gun!" Cid said walking out to inspect the gun while Yuna also disappeared leaving everyone else to their own thoughts.
I took a big sigh as I went to go sit down by Rikku who had taken her place by the controls on the right side of the ship.
"How are things looking?" I asked Rikku giving her shoulder a tap.
"I say, we're looking A okay!" She says without turning to look at me...but judging from how she responded I could feel the smiles playing on her lips.
I smiled at her as I looked out the window, staring out to the clouds passing by and my smile disappeared and I shook my head.
"So why are you here with me?" Rikku asked turning her head around to look at me.
"What do you mean?" I asked a little shocked, looking back to her.
"What I mean is..." she turned around with an eyebrow raised. "why are you here when you could be standing next to your personal guardian?" Rikku wiggled her eyebrows with a grin playing on her features.
"It's..." I sighed sadly, shaking my head. "it's complicated..."
"What happened?" Rikku asked sadly turning around in her seat to face me.
I shook my head, stood up and made for the door...not wanting to talk about it. But what I didn't see was the look of concern not only on Rikku's face but on Lulu's as well. As I the doors slide open I didn't bother looking up, for I knew who was standing on the side of the wall...he was always there. And as I passed by him there were no words exchanged between us, no glance, no eye contact, just tension lingering as I left.
I was upset, I was sad, I was broken, but most of all...I was angry as the door closed behind me. I lingered on the side for a while...counting the seconds that passed by and with each second that passed I grew more and more frustrated.
~Rikku's P.O.V~
"Hey Lulu?" I asked tentivaly approaching the dark mage. "Do you know what's wrong with Yue?"
"I saw walk out...I'm not sure what happened but it can't be good." Lulu said shaking her head.
"Maybe something happened between her and Auron?" I asked taking a hold of her sleeve.
"I'm not sure Rikku..." Lulu said closing her eyes.
"I'm worried..." I said sadly looking to the door where Yue had left.
~Original P.O.V~
I let out a huge sigh as to release the fustration as I turned back around to face the door that had already closed behind me.
I went back inside and planted myself right in front of Auron.
I saw his eyes drift up in my direction and then his eyes went back to staring at the ground.
"Auron." I took a hold of his sleeve and tugged him hard, dragging him out the door. "We need to talk, you will listen, and you will talk to me. No one-sided conversation and we're both going to talk."
I felt him stumble a little and regain his composure as I continued to tug forcefully on his sleeve toward one of a deserted storage room.
I released his sleeve and swiftly turned to face the man who found something interesting on the far left side of the wall.
"Auron, did anything I say register at all?" I asked, crossing my arms across my chest. "I don't enjoy that we haven't talked and I'm frustrated that I can't even tell how you're feeling."
His gaze shifted from the wall and his piercing eyes settled down on my form.
"I heard you." He stated letting out a sad sigh.
"If you heard me you could have at least made some sort of noise so I know what I'm saying is getting through to you..." I said sadly.
"What can I say." Auron sighed staying his stoic and calm self. "We can't go back to how we were...I am about to fulfill my promise to both Braska and Jecht and my story is coming to an end." He turned around and was about to exit the door but I took a hold of his sleeve once more, preventing him from moving any further.
"I don't like the idea that you hate me." I glared at the back of his head.
"You misread this situation Yue..." He turned back around and wrapped his arms around my waist, leaning his forehead against mine. "I could never hate you."
He quickly let me go and walked toward the door. "But I'm afraid the time is almost up." And with that the door closed leaving me in the room alone with the boxes.
I let out a big sigh as I exited the room and headed toward the upper level to stand next to the windows that over looked the entire sky.
'Well, at least he doesn't hate me.' I thought sadly pressing my hands firmly to my sides.
"Are you alright?" A voice questioned as a transparent figure walked up beside me.
'Yeah, just Auron. But I can understand I guess...his time is almost up.' I thought taking a quick glance at my personal guardian.
"You need to have a clear head for what's to come Yue." Yojimbo let out placing his hand upon my shoulder. "You can't go into battles with a clouded mind or you will die. You still need to hold up your end, if you die we can't hold up ours..." Yojimbo said sadly shaking his head as he took his hand off my shoulder and placed it across his chest. "Which I am still very much against by the way."
I smiled and shook my head and just when I was about to answer him, I heard the sound of running footsteps coming from the top-level. I turned around to see Tidus and Yuna run right pass me.
I quickly snapped out of my daze and ran to catch up with them.
"What's going on?" I questioned Tidus as we ran in the direction of the control room.
"Sin has perched himself on top the Tower of Light." He yelled as we walked into the control room.
"Jecht...He's waiting for you." I heard Auron's voice the second we entered.
I looked up and saw his figure with his back turned to us as Cid turned around to discuss with Auron as I went to stand next to Kenta and Jin.
"Well, son, the main gun is still busted! We can't give you any cover fire!" Cid mumbled out apologetically.
"Hey, just take us in. We'll do the rest." Tidus intervened earning Cid's attention as Tidus looked around and made eye contact with each of us, all smiling back. When his gaze turned toward Kenta, Jin and I, I felt arms wrap around each side of my waist as the twins gave him the widest smile they could muster as I nodded to him..
"All right." Cid said walking around the middle control and to the front of the deck. "Take us up, flush to the mouth! No mistakes, or I'm gonna tear out that mop you call hair!" Cid threatened addressing Brother.
"Trust...me. Me...take you there. No problem...ya?" Brother replied back with difficulty looking to us.
"Let's get ready to blitz!" Tidus yelled out excitedly.
"We've got you covered." I smiled to Tidus as Rikku walked over smiling.
We all exited the control up and up toward the upper deck and as I passed by Rin my wrist was held in place, preventing me from moving forward.
"Lady Yue...I am terribly sorry." Rin apologized sadly.
"Rin..now's not the time." I growled a little yanking my wrist free.
"E ys cunno E ryt niehat drehkc padfaah oui yht Sir Auron, E tet hud ghuf..." (I am sorry I had ruined things between you and Sir Auron, I did not know...) Rin said looking down at his feet.
"Rin...drec ec dra mycd desa fa femm caa aylr udran...tuh'd pa cyt." (Rin...this is the last time we will se each other...don't be sad.) I said placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Tuh'd cyo dryd Lady Yue, drec ec hud dra mycd. Kuut milg." (Don't say that Lady Yue, this is not the last. Good luck.) Rin smiled sadly as I ran to catch up with the others.
I had caught up to them just in time, for they were about to take the lift up. I quickly jumped on the lift as I stood beside Auron and Kenta.
I felt a hand gently place itself on my shoulder as I looked up to see Auron peering down at me through his glasses.
"Don't die out there..." He mumbled placing his hand back at his side.
"You don't either." I countered looking forward as I heard him chuckle quietly.
"I'm already dead..." He mumbled quietly so only I could hear.
As the lift took us up to the top-level, the doors opened as we stepped foot on the top deck.
I spotted Sin right away as his head turned in our direction, with his massive wings spread out it lifted itself into the air and turned his eyes right on us, almost challenging us to make a move.
"Here we go!" Cid yelled out over the speakers.
"Yeah! I'm coming for you, Dad!" Tidus yelled as we all ran forward to face Sin.
"This is kind of scary..." Jin muttered out, taking a step back.
I looked at the party and cast Protect, Shell, Reflect and Regen on each member of our party as I watched a red clock appear around myself. I turned toward Tidus and smiled at him as I watched Sin draw closer to the airship.
"Don't be a scardy cat!" Kenta called out to his brother, casting Thundaga on Sin trying to prevent him from moving forward.
"I'm not afraid!" Jin yelled, angrily casting multiple black magic.
I quickly ducked as a Firaga spell whizzed pass my head toward Sin.
"Watch the friendly fire!" I called back, casting Firaga as well dealing a great amount of damage.
"He's drawing near!" Rikku yelled out in fear as Sin drew right up close to the front of the deck.
Auron drew back his sword and used Armour Break on Sin dealing a fair amount of damage but lowering its defense.
But slowly a black orb transpired in front of Sin's mouth and as it expanded out it petrified Kenta, Jin, and Tidus while confussing Wakka.
From Rikku's pouch I took two of the soft potions as Rikku threw one soft at Tidus and an Al Bhed potion toward Wakka.
I went to Kenta and Jin and once I opened the bottle that held the greenish liquid I poured it over the two and slowly they un-petrified and I quickly pulled them to the back.
"I should have left you two inside." I mumbled as I cast Curaga on both the boys.
"Even if you did..." Jin said getting up while rotating his shoulders.
"We wouldn't have listened." Kenta finished as he took his blade and went right back into combat.
I placed my hand on Jin's shoulder as he looked down to me.
"Watch each others back." I commanded swinging my sword back and running to strike Sin.
As my blade crashed down on Sin once more Sin pulled back a little and slowly his mouth opened up. It growled in agony as the wind picked up and the glow coming from Sin grew intense until is was just a vortex leading into Sin. The airship was pulled in by the gravity as we watched in awe, all of us concentrated on whats in front of us.
Inside, it was bright while there were swarms of pyreflies floating all around us and just as the bright light came it turned dark.A cackle was heard as Seymours face flashed before us and a fire like sensation passed through us, leaving everyone to wonder what had just happened.
"We are inside Sin..." I said amazed as the ship landed safely on the...watery ground?
All of us made our way down to where the bridge had opened letting us all off the airship.
"Dad! Where are you?" Tidus yelled out in anger.
"We must go to him." Auron stated plainly.
"Then we will! Let me take front!" Tidus commanded.
'He's angry...' I thought as I watch him run forward.
"Good luck." Yuna replied.
"Follow me!" Tidus said running forward with all of us following close behind.
