Yuna and Paine sat in the Celcius cabin, waiting for Rikku.
"Sorry *pant* I'm late. I was *pant pant* at Bikanel.
I caught a ride here (Besaid) with Gippal."
"So, what's up, Rikku?" Yuna said cheerfully.
"Not too much. How are things with you and Tidus?"
"Well, we've got a cozy home in Besaid. Our daughter's name is Valedine."
"That's nice." Rikku said smiling. "How 'bout you, Paine? What's up?"
"Nothing's changed." Paine said simply.
"Oooooooookay," Rikku said, half-smiling. "So, why'd you call me here?"
"Well," It looked like Yuna was trying to say something difficult.
"What's wrong?" Rikku asked, her face frowning.
Paine turned to her. "There's a bounty on our heads."
"WHAT?!?!?!?!" Rikku exclaimed.
Paine nodded. "E tuh'd ghuf fro un fru, pid
cusauha nabundat ic, taclnepehk ic yc 'sintanehk dreajac'."
"B-but, we haven't hurt anyone," Rikku whined. "Only the bad guys."
Just then, Shinra walked in. "What are you talking about?"
he asked Paine. She gave him a look of warning to clear the area in three seconds.
He began to back up. "Hey, I'm just a kid." Then ran down the stairs and back
into the ship.
"And the bounty's not just for us. It's for all the Gullwings." Yuna said sadly.
"Well," Rikku stood. "We've gotta go to whoever those people reported to and tell them
that we're not thieves!"
Yuna and Paine nodded.
"They looked like Al Bheds," Yuna said. "They were a group who called themselves
'Dra Dedyhc.' What's that mean?"
"It means 'The Titans.'" Paine stated.
"The Titans?" Rikku exclaimed. But they're like, the biggest pirates ever!"
"Exactly." Paine said.
Suddenly, a red light flashed through the cabin, then Brother's voice came over
the intercom, saying "Gullwings, report to the bridge, ASAP!" The girls got up and ran
inside the bridge quickly.
"What's up, Brother?" Yuna said, sounding worried.
"Unidentified object approaching," BUddy stated, his hands flying across the thin keyboard
of his computer map.
"Oh, crap!" Rikku yelped.
"What?" Yuna asked her.
"Look up." Rikku whimpered.
When she looked up, the sky was pitch black. Then a giant shadow flew over the ship.
Paine looked up. "Holy hell..."
"Brother," Rikku said panicing. "What are you waiting for?! Ku vycdan!"
Brother moved the speed notch all the way up. "Right! Full speed ahead!"
"You guys better go check out the deck." Buddy said, staring at his screened map. "Looks like
somethin' funky's goin' on."
"We're on it!" Yuna told him, and the three ran up to the deck.
The automatic door opened and a wave of high-speed wind hit them.
"Fiends!" Yuna yelled over the noise of the storm.
Dark clouds seemed to hang over all of Spira as cold, heavy rain poured down on the airship.
The more-giant-than-usual fiends approached them with haste.
"Let's have some fun." Paine said, grinning.
"Sorry *pant* I'm late. I was *pant pant* at Bikanel.
