To answer the question about who Yuna and Shinn saw it was Perry. They
happened to get there before The Bandits ended. Go back and read some of
Lost Within FF7 and you'll recognize where it happened. I thought it would
be cool to throw that in there. Well on with the story.
Trapped in Final Fantasy 10, Chapter 13
Anima
Rikku and I walked to the bridge and everyone was still discussing how to defeat Sin. We had really no idea what to do about it. But we may have something.
"Who was that Yu Yevon that Mika mentioned?" Tidus asked nobody in particular.
"Not too sure myself. While you guys were in talking to that blowhard some of the crew raided their library." Cid told us.
I noticed one of the books on a desktop and picked it up. It was titled The Battle of Machina and it told about a great war many years ago, two thousand to be exact, where Bevelle and Zanarkand were locked in combat. It was very interesting.
Eventually I reached one section in particular that caught my attention.
"Interesting." I said aloud. Everyone looked over to me.
"What did you read?" Lulu asked me.
I began to read out loud what I learned.
"The war was already in full throttle, and the summoners of Zanarkand were no match for Bevelle's advanced machina weapons. Summoners calling forth monster of greater and greater power in hopes of overturning the tide of battle. The machina won in the end however, and it seemed Zanarkand was going to give into the loss."
I turned the page.
"However the summoners had one final option. They called forth the power of their greatest and most trusted summoner, Yu Yevon. He was instructed to summon a creature of limitless strength and might to thwart Bevelle and hopefully earn victory. Taking the very souls and fayth from fellow summoners Yu Yevon managed to create a beast that struck fear into all the hearts of both Bevelle and Zanarkand."
Everyone was very attentive now. This was quite useful information.
"This monster was immediately under attack from the machina weapons and it seemed as though Yu Yevon had failed. However his monster still remained and in one breath every soldier and machine was evaporated into thin air. Such immense power had surely earned Zanarkand the victory. The creature had other plans, or rather Yu Yevon did. The creature just as easily turned around and slaughtered the remaining people around it. Pyreflies flying around the creature's body and Aeons were being absorbed into the very flesh of the beast. What was left of Zanarkand died that day, both human and city. That beasts name..."
I cleared my throat as I turned the page.
"Is Sin."
Everyone was in shock. This Yu Yevon was a summoner from Zanarkand and he was the one that summoned Sin in the first place. My guess is he kept him around to keep killing. But then how is Tidus's father Sin if Yu Yevon is Sin? One question seemed to lead to another.
"So that's how Sin came to be." I said closing the book.
"Yevon seems to know how to keep its secrets locked away." Auron muttered.
"Here everyone thinks Sin is just a punishment for using machina." Tidus said to himself.
"Well this doesn't help us too much. I mean, just because we know that this Yu Yevon made Sin doesn't mean we know how to kill it." I told everyone.
"If we beat Yu Yevon then Sin will be gone." Tidus said back.
"Just how do we find this Yu Yevon and how do we know he's not stronger than Sin himself?" I argued back to him.
"Calm down, ya?" Wakka said to us both.
"I have a suggestion. We have another weapon onboard this airship that we might be able to use to harm Sin. Remember that Operation Mi'hen?" Cid asked us.
I had no clue what that was obviously even though I was there.
"Well that big lightning gun as I call it could sever its arms. Without those it may not be able to move around anywhere." Cid told us.
"Well it's the best we got." Tidus said.
"I'm willing to try." Rikku said.
"Wait. I have an idea." Yuna said to us all of a sudden.
"What's up?" I asked her.
"Remember Maester Seymour's Aeon? Perhaps if we found the temple where Anima's fayth is located we could perhaps obtain it." She said sounding nervous we wouldn't let her.
"Well we could use all the help we can get. Anima is pretty strong so I say we go find it." Tidus said.
"But we don't know where to find it." I told him. I was kinda against the idea. The last time I saw Anima it tried to kill us and that was when we became exiled.
"Baaj!" Rikku burst out all of a sudden.
"Bless you." I joked.
"No! Baaj is probably where Anima is. We've been looking there for a long time but most of the people that went there ended up turned to stone by a large creature." She exclaimed.
"Did this creature happen to be a large fish with a caged stomach?" Tidus asked.
"Yes, why?"
"That thing tried to eat me last time I was there!"
"Oh yeah. We did find you in Baaj."
"We can fly you all to Baaj in a jiffy. Just be sure to have swimmers ready. That place is mostly underwater." Cid told us all signaling to Brother to head over there.
After a relatively short ride over to this dead place we were on this stone platform.
"I've been through here before. The fiend was down there. We all should go down." Tidus said to us.
"Not all of us can swim too well." Lulu said to us.
"Well if the fayth is down there than how else will Yuna get down there?" he argued.
"I see his point. Perhaps the two of us could wear something that is more suited to water travel." Yuna said heading back in the direction of the airship.
"While they're down there the rest of us should take care of this big fiend." Wakka suggested.
Wakka, Tidus, Rikku, Kimarhi, and I dove into the water leaving Auron standing at the top. The way that geezer moves he'd be unable to attack anything under here.
I was getting nervous down here thinking this beast was behind me. Then all of a sudden the whole area began to shake violently and it really was behind me.
I fired my guns which, to my surprise, were able to hit him underwater. At least I can defend myself. Way to think ahead Shinn.
We swam around the monster and started to attack it from all sides to confuse it. Until he decided to punch Tidus into a wall and then he stared at me.
I felt kind of hypnotized when he did that to me. Then my body began to stiffen up and I couldn't move very well. I looked down and my skin was turning a grayish color. It was turning me to stone!
Eventually I became so stiff I couldn't move at all and just dropped to the bottom of the circular area.
The rest of them were fighting the creature off very well without me and eventually it died and burst into pyreflies.
Eventually I heard a splash as somebody else dove into the water. Then I felt my body begin to move again. Pretty soon my color returned and I could move well again. I looked up and it was Yuna who saved me. Of course she wasn't in her little kimono like dress thing she wore. She had on a wet suit that I've seen some of the Al Bhed on the airship wear sometimes. She kept the helmet off so I could see her face.
I swam up with the rest of them and we entered a small hole in the wall. We were inside the temple.
"Are you alright Shinn?" Wakka asked me. They must have known I was turned to stone but they couldn't do anything to help me.
"I'm still kinda stiff but I should be fine in awhile." I said moving my arms around.
"I'm glad I got there when I did." Yuna said smiling at me. She had that certain charm to her.
Once inside we saw the fayth of Anima. It was Seymour's own mother!
We learned about how Seymour only did these things to earn respect from the people and he was really only devastated because of losing his mother to Yevon. Then Yuna prayed to her and Anima was now on our side. Something so dark and deadly was a woman the whole time.
It was also at this time that I knew for sure the fayth in me was gone. I couldn't hear Anima's voice or speak with her at all. We all swam up and went back inside the airship.
"How'd it go?" Cid asked us all.
"We got it!" Tidus said proudly.
"Great. We've been tracking Sin and it's moving around close to Bevelle. We're about to go after it." He explained further.
We all got ready to battle with this thing. We all were curious as to what Yuna was doing so I volunteered to go find out.
I ran down towards the cabins. I found the one she was in and the door was partially open. I assumed she must have just been sleeping so I opened the door carefully and went in quietly. Man I was wrong about that sleeping part. Apparently she was changing back into her regular clothing but was only halfway. She had the skirt on but no top. Luckily her back was turned so I saw nothing. Becoming very embarrassed I turned my own back to her both to avoid seeing anything and to hide the extreme amount of red my face had taken.
"S-s-s-s-sorry Yuna. I thought you were...sleeping ya know? I should have...knocking before coming in. Sorry." I said choking on my own words.
"No I should have closed the door." She said. I could hear her fumbling with clothes behind me.
After a few minutes she put her hand on my shoulder and I almost fell dead from the surprise.
"I didn't mean to scare you." She said to me.
"No I'm sorry I burst in here." I said starting to leave her room. She grabbed my gloved hand and refused to let me leave so soon. "Hey, we have to stop Sin still."
"I know but please don't feel too bad about it Shinn." I knew she meant seeing her almost topless and not about Sin, but I would've rather she meant Sin this time. "I didn't mind too much, I mean you didn't see anything so no harm was done." She told me.
"Let's just forget this ever happened ok?" I said to her.
"Yes, you're right." She said leaving the room leaving me there myself. Her wetsuit was hanging on a hanger over in the corner still soaked.
"Way to be a Guardian Shinn, seeing your own summoner half naked." I said hitting myself both physically and mentally in the head. But a part of me liked it. Part of me liked Yuna and part of me didn't want to like Yuna. Summoners and Guardians aren't supposed to like each other like this. Not only did it make me feel bad it made it worse thinking about how much Rikku seemed to like me.
Rikku's attraction to me is strange. I mean I do like her as my friend and everything but I don't see myself as a lover to anyone. I just don't know enough about this subject to make any decision right now.
"Hey. Aren't you coming?" Yuna said poking her head into the door. I fake smiled back to her and followed her to the bridge so we could think of the way to attack Sin.
