Chapter 8: Aeonic Front
Anton, Alexandria, Richard, and Yuni felt fully energized when they awoke the next morning. They got ready to leave. As they had to go to Sinci next. They were all pretty tense from the night before, still they felt calm. Villagers were talking about Sin as the few had seen it on the way to Sinci. This was the another reason why they were tense. Yuni became worried by the tales of the villagers. The others dismissed the stories saying that they were probably lies. Anton suggested that they go and rent Chocobos to ride there since it was a long journey. They rented three of them since Yuni did not want to ride one. She rode her Aeon, Valefor. The dealer had one special chocobo that he was training. He let Anton ride it free since he wanted to test it out.
"Hello my name is Cho." Said a mysterious voice in his head.
"Who is this?" Anton said.
"Think what you want to say, as I can read the speech that's in your mind."
"Who is this?" thought Anton.
"I am the chocobo that you are riding. My name is Cho. My owner's wife taught me how to speak to someone's mind. He takes the credit though."
"Oh. My name is Anton. We are going to Sinci. You know that that village is far away. Right?"
"Yes, it is the farthest that I've traveled so far."
"Ok. Lets go then."
They sped off on their chocobos with one destination, Sinci.

After traveling for what seemed like an hour they encountered something, that they would never had seen. About four people were fighting Sin down the trail with Aeons. Yuni flew ahead to join them. After Yuni sent out both of her Aeons there were 12 Aeons fighting Sin. The others decided to go and help. Richard stayed on his chocobo and fired his revolvers at it. Anton rode up to Sin and attacked it with his sword. Alexandria casted spells from a distance while dodging magic attacks sent at her from Sin. Sin used an attack called Giga-Graviton and destroyed most of the Aeons and severely damaged Anton. Cho ran up near Alexandria.
"Can you heal him?" Cho thought.
"What the..Umm. Yes I can. Who is this?" She thought back. "This is Cho, Anton's chocobo."
"I didn't know that chocobos could talk to you in your head."
"They can't. I was taught how by my owner's wife."
Alexandria healed Anton and told him not to go back that close again. He pulled out the AK-47 and opened fire. Valefor had fallen to Sin's massive attack, but Ifrit stood strong. Yuni was lying on the ground, unconscious.
"Yuni!" Anton yelled.
He pulled the reins on the chocobo and ran after her. Cho dodged magic attacks almost automatically while Anton focused on getting to Yuni. When Anton reached her, he bent down and scooped her up without slowing. Cho almost fell over because of the sudden weight shift. Anton put her in front of him and turned back. Ifrit had used an attack called meteor gauntlet and Sin had ran from the battle. Yuni was falling in and out of consciousness. One of the summoners had came over to see if Yuni was alive since the other three were dead. He had blonde hair with black highlights and a reddish tint. He was about Anton's height and build but looked slightly weaker and skinnier. He had eyes that were green with a black line swirled inside the color. He was an Al Bhed.
"Is she okay?" He asked.
"She should be." Anton said while ripping off a piece of his sleeve to wrap up a severe cut that Yuni had on her arm.
Alexandria had ran out of MP while fighting Sin and healing Anton, so he had to rely on conventional means of closing up and healing her injury.
"My name is Ecu. I think that I could heal her."
He extended his arm and a white light emerged out of his hand. IT went though the bandage that Anton had put on her wound and entered it. After the light disappeared Anton took off the bandage and the cut was closed.
"My name is Anton. This is Yuni," Anton said while motioning to Yuni, "That's Richard and Alexandria."
"Hello." Ecu said.
They both said hello and watched Yuni. She regained consciousness and opened her eyes. Yuni said a simple hello to Ecu after he introduced himself. All of them decided to camp out there for the evening and ate dinner. The next mourning, Yuni invited Ecu to join her in her pilgrimage. He accepted and they started to travel. Ecu rode on a Aeon that he called Bahamut. They made their way towards Sinci.
