Chapter 3: News

Disclaimer: Ugh. Fine yes whatever. I do not own any characters from Square Soft or Square Enix. Is there a difference? Well I did own Nelaphias and I will own a semi evil, semi nice character too! *hint hint* Oh yeah. In addition, the evil ones too it's just Sin that I do not own. The girl that I will be talking later on in the story is just someone I needed to introduce the eviiiillll people so I guess she doesn't mean much.

Author's note: Since a reviewer would want to know the evil villains, I guess it's time for me to show a little information about them.

"Say, have you guys seen Lenne, Yuna, Tidus and Rikku?" Shuin wiped his face with a towel nearby.

"Well I asked Yuna to get a soft drink and she brought Tidus with her. I think I over heard Lenne and Rikku talking. I think I heard Rikku ask if Lenne used to fight and if she had a weapon." Wakka answered.

"Do you think they went off to go see new weapons?" Shuin took a glance at a path as Yuna came back with Tidus and a Pepsi looking slightly worried, "Hey what's the matter?"

"Umm." Yuna turned to Wakka, gave him the bottle and asked, "I know there are monsters here in Besaid but have you ever seen an Imp here before?"

"No. Why?"

"First off, one appeared, then it attacked us."

"Looks serious. I'm not much of a problem solver. Why don't you go ask Lulu?" Yuna nodded and walked off to where Lulu was.

"What do you think happens if I press all three buttons at once?" Lenne and Rikku were walking back to the house.

"Hmm.. I don't know. Try!" However, before Lenne could press any buttons, a piercing scream warned them someone was in trouble.

"That came from this way!! And this way is..." Rikku paused, "I haven't been here for a while."

"Let's just follow it!" Lenne grabbed Rikku's wrist and followed the path Rikku pointed. The dusty road soon changed to sand.

"Oh yeah! That's the beach."

"Right." As they ran the scream became louder and louder but when they got there, it stopped.

"Where's the person?"

"I don't know.. Look!" Lenne pointed at two people in dark cloaks carrying a little girl out of sight. They both ran after them.

"Stop right there!" Rikku called out but they wouldn't stop. They even ran faster and one of them even threw a fireball.

"Well I guess it's time for me to try my new weapon." Lenne pressed the blue button and two blue blades sprang out.

(Author's note: Just to tell you, the double sword that comes out of each end is like a staff, just that you can only hold the middle and the rest are blades. Really long blades. It also has the length of a normal staff.)

"I have an idea!" But before Rikku could say 'Wah?!' Lenne ran even faster and went on a higher path right beside Rikku.

"What are you doing?" Rikku suddenly stopped, "Oh I see. Go Lenne!!" As Rikku cheered, Lenne ran even faster and past a DEAD END sign. She gave a small smile as the dead end grew nearer and once she got there she jumped and landed right on the one way path where the kidnappers were suppose to come to.

"Stop right there!" The kidnappers gasped as they came into view.

"Stand back lady." One of them drew out guns, "We've outnumbered you."

"Not anymore!" Rikku drew out her weapons to.

"Hmmph. Stand back! Or else we'll have to exterminate you."

"Who ever said you guys were stronger than us?" Lenne questioned.

"ME!!" One of the guys in cloaks threw a huge fireball at Lenne. It was easy to put it out by one water blade block.

"You can do better than that right?" Rikku kicked the guy in the stomach, which made him fall and drop the girl. Lenne caught her right on time. Rikku punched the other guy and Lenne stomped on the ones that tried to lift themselves up.

"What shall we do with them?" Lenne asked.

"Well first I think we should bring back the girl to her parents then kick the guys back home."

"What's your name?"

"T-Tanya.."

"Good. We're bringing you back," Lenne gave a reassuring smile.

"Did Lenne and Rikku come back yet?" said Shuin while glaring at Tidus from across the table.

"No," Wakka looked at them seeing it was tense.

"Ahem, So do you want to train?" said Tidus still glaring back at him. Shuin finally looked away and took out his sword.

"Well you coming?" Tidus chuckled and followed him beside the house to a field of clean, dry grass.

"On my count. Ready, set, GO" Tidus gave an unexpected attack but Shuin successfully blocked it then kicked him in the stomach.

"Work on your reflexes!" Tidus got up and used magic.

"Blizzard!" Shuin nearly dodge it but still got his arm frozen.

"Aww man! I've been frozen long enough!" Shuin got up and punch Tidus wich sent him flying, "hmmm not bad."

"Well your pretty good!" Tidus got up once again, "Bring it on!" It was a rough fight but they fought without mercy. Finally, Shuin was thrown off by a magic gust of wind and layed on the grass not moving an inch, "Hey get up!" Tidus walked towards him nudging his ribs with his foot, "Wake up! Lenne will kill me if she sees you like that." However, Shuin wouldn't move.

"We're back!" said a distant voice.

"Oh no! C'MON SHUIN WAKE UP!!!" Tidus yelled hoping Lenne didn't hear. Suddenly Shuin pulled Tidus's leg wich made him fall. Shuin quickly got up to his feet and pointed his sword in his face.

"I win. You should also work on being merciless."

"But that's not fair!! You're the one that tripped me."

"Temper, temper!" Tidus growled.

"Shuin! Tidus! Over here!" Rikku called out, "We have visitors we caught!"

"Are you really supposed to catch visitors?"

"No." Shuin helped Tidus get up and they went where an unexpected surprise awaited them. Two guys in cloaks were attached together struggling to escape.

"Wow who are those people?"

"They attacked a girl and we just happened to save her." Lenne smiled. Just then, Yuna came out with Lulu and walked towards the group.

"I have news.. What's going on?!" Yuna gasped.

"Well it's a bit hard to explain. Tell us the news first then we'll tell you."

"Umm.. ok. Well today when Tidus and me were going to go get something, well, a monster appeared and we never saw them on Besaid Island before. Lulu said they might have just been flying here but they come from far. The other theory is that someone brought them here."

"Logical," Rikku kicked the guys telling them to stop struggling, "These guys here attacked an innocent girl. We stopped them and brought the girl back home. I don't know why they attacked her at first."

"Ask them."

Lenne nodded and said, "Why have you attacked the girl?"

"It wasn't attack! It was kidnapped for your information. Well first of all, we kidnapped her because she saw what we were doing. And we were releasing monsters on the island."

The guy behind him kicked him, "You IDIOT!" Rikku giggled.

"Hmm. And who ordered you to do this?"

"Well boss did. He said he would pay us a fair price if we made it alive. Boss has another boss too! And I think his name was Sino or something like that."

The guy behind him kicked him again, "YOU IDIOT! SHUT UP! DON'T ANSWER ANYTHING!"

"Well they did ask us," He winced.

Yuna looked at them in disbelief and said, "Sin? No. He can't be back. We destroyed him."

"Destroyed?" The guy that keeps on calling the other an idiot snorted, "Hmph. He is alive if you believe it! In a tank with green liquid wich would preserve his soul. Our boss is trying to get him back in this world. Even more powerful than you would imagine. A body of pure steel."

"Our boss has a son and he has a heart. He tried to fix my cut once."

"Shut up you idiot. They have a secret hideout but they're in Luca right now collecting items. They are leaving soon."

"That's enough information thank you," Yuna looked at Tidus, "What should we do with them?"

"Umm.. Punching bags?" Tidus grinned.

"Don't worry! I'll guard them and you guys go ahead and plan anything you like." Wakka gave an evil grin towards the guys in cloaks. Everybody nodded and went in the house.

The sky grew dark and the sun was setting, Yuna was lying in her bed still thinking about the information the guys had given them. It was hard to think when the party was going but now that everything was quiet, it was much easier.

'Tidus said that he was going to go to a tournament in Luca with his group and Shuin, so if I went with them and the others can come too, I bet we can find more information and maybe I can perform a little song. Maybe with Lenne. I wouldn't have the courage to go myself. Anyways, last time Lenne was in me so I went with her.' Yuna smiled and went to sleep.
