Chapter II
Braska, Auron and Jecth went through the entrance to the Thunder Plains. Jecth sighed. "Here we go.." He walked straight forward.
Auron shook his head and looked at Braska. "Lord Braska.. I.." He frowned and continued, "It's nothing.. Let us continue on.."
"Auron.." Braska uttered his guardian's name before following Jecth.
The first few minutes of their journey in the Thunder Plains was seemingly, not to mention uncomfortably quiet. No one spoke and no one really did anything except for trying to dodge the stray lightning bolts that came by their way. A few fiends attacked them and no conversation was exchanged.
Auron scowled. 'Hell, isn't this what you wanted? Peace and quiet? Well, why aren't you satisfied, then?' He asked himself. He looked at Braska carrying his staff with him, casting a cure on Jecth for a Thundara, which came from a Larva, hit him.
Jecth broke the silence with, "You needn't do that, Braska. I can manage enough even after being hit by that damn fiend." He smiled his proud smile and patted Braska on the shoulder. "As a matter of fact, you should be healing yourself, Braska. Not us. That iron giant gave you a sharp blow, you know."
Braska smiled, appreciating the care his bare-footed guardian gave him. "I am fine, Jecth. Thanks for your concern."
"Okay, so what are we waiting for? Lightning to strike us? Let's get moving before we get hit!!" Jecth motioned his other two companions. The Travel Agency was very far from them, not to mention that the exit was farther. Jecth kept his optimistic character on their journey and that made Braska feel a little less worried about the conflict his two guardians had.
After a very quiet moment, Jecth's face lightened up with curiosity. He ran towards a tablet with a qactuar crafted into it. "Hey, Braska, what are these things?" He asked Braska.
"Those are qactuar stones, Jecth. There are many of them scattered all around the Thunder Plains. Why don't you activate it?"
"Hmm.." Temptation due to curiosity beat his self-control. He activated the qactuar stone and it lit up. "Err, umm.. let's get going then.."
The storm was getting more severe as time passed by. It was difficult to cross at this kind of time so the trio agreed that once they reached the inn, they would rest until the storm has subdued a little.
Rain was pouring in, really hard and lightning struck more often. They stayed in the safe refuge of a lightning tower. Having nothing to do, Jecth sang the Hymn of the Fayth really loudly.
Auron frowned and scolded him. "Not so loud, Jecth!!"
"Hey, like your voice is any softer." Jecth told Auron and continued singing.
Braska looked at the two guardians, starting a fight.. again. He tried to stop them. "Auron, Auron.. he's just singing the Hymn.. nothing's wrong with that." He put out a sheepish smile.
But the lightning was loud, Auron didn't hear the plead of the amicable summoner. "Are you saying that I have a temper?" He said as Jecth told him he better not slash him with his damn sword.
"Hn.. What if I am? What will you do then, huh?" Jecth continued to taunt the younger guardian.
Their argument was soon stopped when a rather large Iron Giant ambushed the party. It seems that it heard their loud argument and attacked them. It used its massive sword to get Auron out of the way.
Auron winced and got hit out of the shelter of the lightning tower. He stayed down, while Jecth and Braska fought the Iron Giant.
"Damn.." Jecth cursed as he swung his sword at the fiend. It moved back a little. But his sword didn't pierce through the armor and didn't do much damage. They needed Auron in this battle but he was out there at the middle of the Plains barely conscious. The fiend got its ground back and attacked Jecth. He fell back but he stood up, weakening.
"Jecth!" Braska said worriedly. He fumbled his robes for a hi-potion and apparently got one left. His magic has abandoned him, unfortunately and he could no longer cast curative spells. He tossed it towards Jecth and he recovered some of his strength.
"Braska! Summon your aeon!! I can't get through this fiend's fucking armor!!" He ordered.
Braska nodded and summoned his trusty Bahamut. The aeon used its Impulse against the Iron Giant and it supposedly fell.
Braska smiled and looked at Jecth. Jecth gave him a thumbs up. Then, realization hit the two men like lightning striking them. They both looked at their youngest companion trying solely to get up.
Auron stumbled as he went towards Braska and Jecth.. 'Funny..' he told himself. 'I think I see double.'
Braska and Jecth came running towards the guardian but.. lightning struck down and hit the very unfortunate red-clad man.
Braska gasped and ran towards his fallen friend. Fortunately, Auron was still breathing but it was labored.
He looked ahead and saw the Travel Agency to be a few meters away. He looked down at Auron and saw him still conscious even after being struck by lightning.
"Lord.. Braska.." He said through pants. He held a seemingly large gash on his side.
Jecth ran towards them to help Auron. They helped the guardian stand up, supporting his whole weight with their bodies.
Auron found it hard to breath.. shock running through his whole body. His body trembled and shivered, which made the other two worried.
They reached the Agency with a nearly wilted Auron with them. They hurriedly took him into the room.
After his injuries were bandaged, Auron got enough strength to speak angrily. "This.. is all.. your fault, Jecth.."
"WHAT?!" Jecth said with indignity. "You saying it's my fault that that fiend got us? HAH!! If you hadn't yelled at me, there wouldn't be any argument!!!!"
"You were the one singing.. So damn loud." He wasn't yelling but anger was in his voice. Anger AND annoyance.
"STOP SAYING IT WAS MY FAULT, DAMMIT!!!" Jecth yelled. "It's always my fault isn't it, Mr. Perfect?? Isn't it??!!"
"Shut up.. Jecth or I'll.." Auron said weakly.
"Or you'll what?! What can you possibly do in THAT condition?! Huh?" Jecth cut him off.
"Hmph.. just shut up.. I don't need your pointless taunting, Jecth."
Braska apparently had had enough of their stupid arguments. "You two.." He stated coldly.
Auron and Jecth looked at him in surprise.
"I have had enough of your arguments. I am going to sleep now in this room and if I see or hear any argument in this room, you will not like it." Braska laid on another bed quietly and dozed off.
Auron stared at the door for a few moments. He had not seen his friend like that in his whole life. He had not seen him so angry. He certainly blew it now.
Jecth laid down on the bed. He kept quiet for a while, trying to compose himself for the anger he had for Auron. 'How come this guy always blames me for everything bad that happens?! Hmph.. Like he doesn't make any mistakes..' Thought he.
Auron was still lying down, and suddenly, the ceiling became very interesting. 'My Lord.. I was so stupid.. I am tired but I still blamed Jecth. Hmph.. why does he have to sing that Hymn anyway? Why do we always end up arguing?'
Jecth looked at Auron who was looking at him and turned away. 'Damn stubborn guy..'
Auron turned away also. 'Damn annoying drunkard..'
Jecth sat up and looked at Braska. 'Braska sure wasn't happy.. maybe if I apologize.. it'll be all better tomorrow morning.. I can't let my pride destroy our friendship..'
Auron was thinking of the same thing. He looked at Jecth and spoke, "Ject-"
"Auron.. I.. I'm sorry if I pissed you off a while ago in Guadosalam and at that tower. I guess I don't know.. I'm acting too childish sometimes.."
"Jecth.." He started. It must've taken a lot of guts to admit his mistake, being the proud man Jecth is. "I.. I must apologize too for having yelled at you and blaming you about the recent ambush.." He tried to sit up but the pain was intense and he fell back down.
"Hey, don't get up, you're still injured, man." Jecth said with concern getting off his bed and going towards Auron and pushing Auron back down onto the bed.
"Jecth.. I must admit.. you are not so bad after all.. I guess..we could get along well if we put our childish attitudes away." He gave him a kind smile.
"Yeah, guess so too, Auron.. We could be buddies after all!! We could be friends.."
"Friends.." Auron said his voice faltering.
"Yeah. Braska'll be happy, huh?"
"I guess so.." He said as he drifted into unconsciousness. Now that everything's okay, he could rest right, with no worries.
"Hey, sweet dreams." Jecth said as he too laid on his bed and slept so they can get ready for tomorrow.
Braska smiled.. he was awake the whole time and heard the two. Tomorrow might just be a wonderful day for them.
