Author's Notes – Okay, let's continue with the story. Where were we? Oh
yes...Part Four now~! =) Okay, let's start now.
-------------------------------------------------------
A strange invisible force pushed me back as I attempted to touch Rikku. She did not respond but simply staggered on her way to the front.
"Auron!" a voice came from behind. Ellone held my katana in her hand. "Your sword!"
"Thanks," I replied as I took my katana from her grip. I continued my focus on Rikku. She was on her way to a certain room. Standing by the door for a few seconds, the automatic contraption instantly opened. She limped into the room. "No wait!" I cried out as I ran after her into the room.
I rushed to grab her. Another force threw me against the wall of the room. Rikku..what's happening to you? I looked at her helplessly as she fitted a strange white helmet onto her head. As she was preparing to collect a white suit, which probably complemented with the helmet, I snatched the crucial item.
"No," I shouted. "I can't let you." With a mysterious strength, Rikku slapped across my body, once again throwing me against the wall. She proceeded to fit the suit onto her body. NO!!! And continued to walk to something like a levitating platform. I ran to the bridge of the station to see what Rikku was doing. At the bridge, I was stunned at the sight.
***
"Yunalesca?!?" I gaped in shock at the sight before me. Enclosed in crystal was Yunalesca's body, with two supports supporting her body and crystallized surroundings.
"Sorceress Yunalesca to be exact," a man beside me corrected. "In the history of Esthar, she attempted to take power over a thousand years ago but her plans were thwarted by Doctor Oldine."
"Oldine?" I asked.
"Yeah," the man replied. "The man whom you saw at the main palace."
"He can live that long?"
"He's unsent," the man told. "It's just that the Farplane wants him to protect Esthar. Hey, what's that person going close to Yunalesca's body for?" He pointed to a person in a suit advancing near Yunalesca's body. Rikku! Why are you so close to Yunalesca?
I watched helplessly as Rikku got closer to Yunalesca's crystallized surroundings. She pushed a lock on the crystal. Suddenly, Yunalesca's eyes opened. A sinister smile formed on her face.
***
Yunalesca broke out of her crystal prison with her arms. At that instant, she threw Rikku back to the station. She looked at us.
"Well well," Yunalesca spoke. "Looks like we have company; be prepared to meet Sin!" She screeched as she pointed a finger at us. Her finger began to glow a bright white. All of a sudden, a beam of white light shot at us, causing a red alarm to go off.
"There's no choice," Ellone spoke. "We have to abandon it!" She raced towards the emergency exit. She paused to see me still standing at my same position. "Hurry! We have to evacuate!" she came back to me, encouraging me to go.
"Rikku..." I replied, turning to her. "...I must find Rikku!"
"There's no time~!" Ellone pointed a small exit. "Sorry we cou'ldn't save Rikku," she replied sadly. Refusing to here the truth, I kept silent.
We sat in our respective corners as our escape pod threw instead onto the surface of Spira. Rikku...where are you? I must find you... I proceeded to escape the pod.
"Auron!" the female voice called me back. "You're going out without anything?" I gave Ellone a heroic and cold stare before continuing outside the escape pod. I gave a jump as the pod sped off into the surface of Spira. In the distance I saw a white figure. Rikku! I thought as I began to push myself towards her.
***
A happy face from inside the suit met my eye. It was the same jovial and lively Rikku I had met on Yuna's pilgrimage. I gave a slight smile at Rikku as I began to move away with her. A strange craft began to float near us. I gave her a signal to enter.
As soon as we were inside, Rikku proceeded to remove her suit. Being back to her old self, she grabbed her hands around my neck.
"Oh Auron!" she exclaimed. "I'm so happy to see ya!" Being back to my stoic nature, I shook off her hands and turned around to conceal my smile. I felt two arms encircle my abdomen.
"Don't be like this; you know this isn't you!" the voice came from behind me. I turned again to see the Al Bhed girl's small frame.
"Sorry Rikku," I replied. "We're still on a pilgrimage." A tight slap fell across my cheek. I looked down to see a Rikku nearly full of tears.
"Fine!" she shouted back. "Let's go, Sir Auron!" She ran into the next room. Auron you big idiot! Why didn't you just confess your feelings for her? Thoughts of self-berating filled my mind. I ran after her.
"RIKKU!" I exclaimed as I held her in my hands once more. Auron, this is it! Your chance to tell! I took the chance to bend down and kiss her on her lips. At once her struggling died down as she started supporting my back, our lips locked together in a passionate kiss. However, I knew that this not far from over yet. And I guess Rikku thought so too.

I would have to admit that this is a little short. But please accept this episode for a while. Thank you.
