Chapter 6 :: The End?

Everyone was on the Bridge, just chillin` and talking to each other. I took this time to get to know everybody. We were on our way to Bevelle. To drop off Baralai! No! I didn't want him to leave. Nonetheless, I had to let him go...

"So, how are you enjoying Spira?" asked Nooj bitterly.

"Well, I haven't really seen much yet except black voids and yellow sands." I replied just as bitterly.

"Well you seem to know SO much about us through that game you have."

I never thought I sounded like a know-it-all...Nooj was such a meanie!!!

"NOOJ! YOU'RE A MEANIE!" I cried.

Everyone looked at me funny. Not that they never did since I got here. Everyone got quiet for a moment...Why did it always have to happen? Then everyone started talking in whispers. I stood in a corner, dying for someone to come talk to my lazy ass. I was deep in meditation when...

"Hey want to see some spheres?" Shinra asked.

I didn't answer. I just walked over there. I was too bored and tired to answer. Shinra showed me spheres from hidden cameras in Brother's room of him talking funny and dancing stupid dances. I laughed so hard. Then I got to see a sphere of an after party when Vegnagun was destroyed. They all had to sing karaoke, and yet again Brother was doing funny poses. That's when I overheard Yuna and Rikku talking...

"She really reminds me of a summoner I used to know when I was young." Yuna said.

"Really? Lady Who?" Rikku asked.

"All I remember is that she died on her pilgrimage...and wasn't that famous either. But I remember that she took care of me before Kimarhi came and took me to Besaid."

Tidus didn't sound like he was paying attention. He sounded pretty content tickling and playing with Yuna...

"I went - haha! - to see - hehe - her on the - Tidus! Stop! haha - farplane but - "

BEEP! BEEP! Buddy's computer console was ringing throughout the ship.

"Reports from Mt. Gagazet. Said there's a man and a fiend attacking the Ronso."

"GULLWIIIIIIINGS! TIME TO PAAAARRRRRTAY!" said Brother with utmost enthusiam.

Everyone's faces lit up. The only one I really noticed was Baralai, because I liked looking at him. The only problem (well maybe not problem) was that he never looked back. It broke my heart sometimes. But I had to take it. "He" was the same way.

*~

When we arrived at Mt. Gagazet, the Ronso were to busy fighting off the fiend to notice that we were there. I saw "Him" again, riding and controlling the fiend as he did before. Yet again, something was a little too off about him. I was too blind to see what it was...

Everyone came out in different dress-spheres, all so damn cool looking! Yuna and Paine were Beserkers, Rikku was a white mage, and Gippal, Nooj, Tidus, and Baralai all had the same usual outfit. I wanted to fight too. I didn't want to watch like the last time. This girl wanted some fight! I think Paine sensed that will, so she came over to me.

"So I bet you want to fight."

"Yesss indeed! Ya'll deserve some help!"

She tossed me a Meggido garment grid. She said,

"It has a Black Mage dress-sphere that I just mastered. Here, take this too!"

She tossed me a Key to Success and Regal Crown Accessory to boost stats I didn't have. It made me feel kind of poweless, but at least I got to help!

"Thanks a LOT Paine!" I said hastily.

I then joined in the battle. I cast many Flare's. I was afraid to use Ultima, though. It felt so damn GOOD to have this kind of power. I couldn't have this kind of power at home!

It was a tough battle. Everyone was having such a hard time. The Ronso were very weiry. They were having the most trouble. Rikku was doing her best to help cure everybody. I didn't think that it was helping everyone. I was worried about everyone hurting him, but I had to live with it. If he was going to kill, then he had to go. There was no point in keeping him there.

Many, many minutes passed and still the monster was not dead. It seemed to get more and more power. I got sick and tired of it, so I cast a bunch of Ultimas...

"EVERYONE STAND BACK! ITS TIME FOR AN ULTIMA!"

I cast an Ultima with all the MP I had left. I couldn't stand anymore. I was tired, dead tired. This was only my first battle. I didn't even think I would last that long. I thought I was done for.

"This is the end..."

Baralai then tossed me an Elixir, and set it off with a wink. I could just faint in happiness right then and there, but I didn't. I had to help.

"Thank you Baralai..." I mouthed.

He winked again.

"Why did he keep doing that?" I asked myself.

Nonetheless, it was a good thing. Verrrry good. It made me feel better about being here. As I swam in the thoughts of a lovesick sap, the monster cast a fiecesome spell. It knocked out most of the Ronso except for Kimahri. He was one brave soldier. Then he talked to me for the very first time.

"Girl help Kimahri?"

Yes I nodded. I threw him a hi-potion that Paine left in the dress-sphere. He then pounced back into action. He was so brave, trying to protect his people.

"HEY! Look out!" Yuna screamed.

When I turned around I saw the fiend heading right towards me. So were the pyreflies. They were crying and moaning... I felt like I was back in Bikanel when the meteor was coming at me. Except for the pyrefly part.

"KADE! STOP!" I yelled blindly. It was as if someone had just taken over me. Everyone was staring...they all had worried eyes...especially Baralai. I could see so much fear in those clear amber eyes..I didn't want him or anyone to worry like this...The person continued.

"Don't you remember me? It's Mina! Your friend! And you are my guardian, remember??"

I felt 'Mina's' full strength. I felt her love to 'Kade' and his love back. Her emotions canceled out all mine, and all I could feel was her's. She began to speak again.

"If you love me...you'll stop..." she whispered coarsely.

"Ahh! So that's who she was!" Yuna exclaimed. "Hey Lady Mina you remember me? It's Yuna!"

'Mina' didn't seem to answer. She was deep in thought.

Despite Yuna's newfound excitement, I could feel my mind fading...again. She was taking me over. I didn't want her too...but I felt that I had to let go. I had to look at 'him' for one last time, knowing that he wasn't really who I was looking for. He and the fiend stopped dead in their tracks. I took one last look at Baralai's bright eyes. His intense brown eyes were filled with anxiety, wondering what was happening to me.

I worried. I couldn't feel my legs! I had to tell Baralai what I felt. I had this weird, distant love for him. It was a longing like no other. I developed feelings for him in only a few short days...I needed him, but I knew it would never happen. I had to prepare for my end. Could it possibly be though? I didn't want it to happen...Mina was taking over. She was killing me and she didn't even know it! I had so many questions left. I used whatever strength I had left and looked at thie worried expressions...They were so worried when I didn't want them to be. It tore me apart.

"I'm sorry..."
