Trapped in Final Fantasy 10, Chapter 10
The End of the World
We continued to march through Gagazet, solving puzzles and fighting fiends while we were there. I still had Yuna on my back and we were just about to reach the end when she woke up and wanted to walk on her own again. She thanked me with a warm smile and went up ahead.
"How was that?" Rikku said surprising me from behind.
"Wasn't bad, she's lighter than you'd think." I answered.
"When will we make it out of here?" Wakka asked.
"Soon, but she's expecting us, sending fiends." Auron mused.
"She who?" Yuna asked walking over to him.
"Yunalesca."
"Lady Yunalesca? She's still alive?"
"As alive as Mika and Seymour."
Great more dead people to deal with. Spira isn't a very lively place to be in.
"Why don't they stay dead? I don't get it." I said walking with my arm behind my head.
"Come we worry about it later." Auron said pressing onwards.
"What's the matter? You look sad." I asked Rikku.
"We're almost there. Yuna will die if we don't think of something." She told me.
"We'll think of something. Every story has to have a happy ending." I said.
"Yea, I guess your right." She said walking close to me. She wasn't touching me but was just very close.
We came to this large opening in the cave that leads to daylight. We made it out! But, then an image flashed in my head.
It was this large dragon and everyone was there except me, and for some reason all these numbers were written in the corner of the screen and would be changing whenever someone was struck. Then the image faded. They noticed as I stopped to feel my forehead.
"What's wrong with you?" Tidus asked.
"I don't know. I just had this vision of a dragon outside and everyone was there." I said. "But it's probably nothing. Maybe all this cave travel is taking its toll."
We continued outside and it seemed fine so I thought we were all safe. Until we heard a large roar.
"It comes!" Auron shouted getting himself ready to fight it. We all followed suit and faced the giant beast.
I scanned it and tried to find its data.
"Sanctuary Keeper, weak point; head and wings, can cause Curse status; disabling Overdrive." I relayed to everyone.
Taking aim I fired at its face, and became annoyed by this and began to roar violently. Then it spread its wings into the sky and fired these large beams down upon all of us. We took on this dark color.
"What the heck?" I asked.
"Curse! We can't Overdrive now." Lulu informed me.
Didn't stop me much, I could still attack and that was good enough, however I didn't notice my lack of vitality from that attack. Yuna was busy healing everyone as best she could between attacks.
After multiple spells from Lulu the creature placed this green barrier around itself.
"It's a Reflective barrier. Our magic will bounce off and hit us." Rikku said using all the items she had to keep us alive.
Yuna then placed a Reflect barrier around Tidus and Lulu bounced a spell off him and it hit the dragon.
"I guess spells can't be reflected twice." I said to myself.
Then the dragon broke the barrier around Tidus.
"I guess that's no good." Yuna pouted avoiding a swipe from its claws.
"Yuna try it again!" I told her. She did so and placed Reflect around me. Again Lulu bounced a spell off of it and hit the dragon and as I expected it would break my barrier.
"It'll just keep breaking it." Yuna told me.
"I know. Keep using it!"
"But why?"
"If it spends all its time breaking our barriers over and over it won't have time to attack us." I said to her. She grinned as a sign of understanding my plan. And sure enough the plan worked flawlessly, the dragon kept destroying our barriers and never once thought of attacking us. We eventually killed it as it disintegrated into nothing but white light.
"That was tiring." I said wiping my brow.
"We're almost there, we can rest later." Auron said taking point.
Well I'm up for a rest soon. We had no other encounters up until that point. We looked over the cliff we were on and saw what I was told was Zanarkand. It was all in shambles. Broken buildings were everywhere and there was water everywhere.
We walked down to solid land and laid our weapons down and sat around a campfire and rested. Rikku sat next to me while I was next to Kimarhi.
We all sat silent, not saying a word.
Eventually Rikku said she felt sleepy and rested on my shoulder. It didn't bother me in the least. I was rather indifferent about it.
Tidus got up and walked up to a high point and stared. I have no idea why but it was his business and not mine.
After a number of hours night came and we began to head out to the large Dome in the distance.
"This...looks like the Farplane, ya?" Wakka said in his usual tone looking ahead.
"It's not much different." Auron said marching forward again. He seemed more the leader than Yuna, and she was the important one in all this.
We made it to the Dome relatively unharmed and an old man that looked dead greeted us.
"Summoner, show me your eyes." He demanded from Yuna. "Ah, you have traveled far and wide I see. Where are you from?"
"I am Summoner Yuna from the island of Besaid." She answered in her chipper tone.
"Come inside. Lady Yunalesca will be most pleased to hear of your arrival. Come." He said vanishing.
"Yuna, I don't like this. It looks way too dangerous and besides it'll all end the same way." I pleaded.
"The same way?" she asked.
"All road lead to your death as hard as it is to say. I mean my job as your guardian is to keep you alive and leading you here to get this Final Aeon only to die is stupid! Either fiends kill you or that Aeon does. I know it's selfish of me to just think about your life over the hundreds and thousands that Sin could easily destroy!" I was now in front of her and she starred at me looking the same she always was.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." I said bowing my head down in shame.
"Look we know how you feel, ya? But we got more important things to worry about now." Wakka told me.
"Shinn, thank you for caring about my safety. You are a pleasure to have as a guardian and a larger pleasure to have as a friend." She told me. I wrapped my arms around her and held her tightly to my body. She was caught off guard by it and was hesitant to wrap her arms around me.
"I know I am Yu. You're almost like my sister, as silly as that sounds. I would have said that earlier but giving you that idea would have made Wakka shiver knowing one of your brothers is Al Bhed." We all got a laugh out of that one, including Wakka.
I finally let go of her and we began to walk inside. This Dome was the worst place yet. Pyreflies as I was told flew around here everywhere and images of dead people were walking around everywhere. Most of these people were Summoners and Guardians that have been here before us.
"This place is like one giant graveyard." I noted aloud.
"This place has the spirits of the past kept here to remind us of them. They remain her forever." Auron muttered.
"This place is reallllly creepy now." Rikku said huddling her arms close to her chest. Onward we went until we came to a hallway where we saw another image.
"This is my father." Yuna said. It was this man in a large blue and white robe with Auron, a much younger version, and Tidus's father I'm told. They discussed turning back.
"Looks like all guardians go through this phase." I noted.
"I guess one more trial to go." Tidus said walking inside.
"This is it I guess. Time to face it." I said walking in last but Rikku still was outside.
"It's not that scary I hope." I said to her.
"No I'm just nervous for Yunie. We had all this time and we didn't think of one lousy thing to help her. Even the three of us." She said looking very depressed and defeated.
"We still have time Rikku. I'm sure that something is going to happen in there and Yuna is gonna walk out of this godforsaken place alive. Who knows, maybe this Final Aeon doesn't even exist. Yevon lied about machina and stuff like that, maybe they lied about this too." I said. It seemed to cheer her up a little bit.
"Shinn you know just how to please me don't you. I'm still worried but not that much. Thanks." She said walking up to me.
"You're welc..." she cut me off mid-sentence by wrapping her arms around me and planting her lips upon my own. I soon gave into the passionate kiss and we were soon standing in this dark, death filled corridor, kissing one another. It seemed to make the room a little brighter too. I guess seeing something so happy has made the spirits happy themselves rather than the darkness they are used to.
We parted lips but held tightly, our middles touching. Wakka's voice brought us out of our romantic daze.
"Hey you two! What's the hold up?"
"Be right there!" Rikku shouted back smiling at me and letting go. She walked in first giving a smile before completely turning around.
Then I felt this odd sensation, one I've never felt before and I felt my face hit dirt. I couldn't open my eyes yet either but I somehow knew I wasn't here in the Dome anymore.
Well I hope you liked this chapter. I'm rather pleased with it myself but I'd take more pleasure in knowing how the reader's think of it.
