Yunalesca struck first casting Darkness on Tidus. Immediately the blonde's eyes turned white. He was blind. The guardians charged at Yunalesca while Lulu attended to Tidus. She put some special Eye Drops in his eyes and waited for the magickal solution to work. Yunalesca blasted everyone away from her with an energy wave. Pyreflies started to swirl around her and she started to evolve. A weird, thick column of what looked like cables sprung from Yunalesca's back and held the woman at least eight feet in the air. Orange and purple tentacles sprouted from the ground at the column's base. The tentacles engulfed Rin, trying to suffocate the Al Bhed. Auron and Kimahri hacked away at the tentacles while Wakka and Rikku used various attacks on Yunalesca. The woman cast Darkness on Rikku and the girl stumbled back.

"I've got you!" Lulu exclaimed, grabbing Rikku's arm and leading her to a safe distance.

Tidus blinked. The drops were working. His vision was coming back. Lulu put some drops into Rikku's eyes then shot an Ultima spell at Yunalesca. The former summoner returned fire with a Silence spell. The mage let out a growl of frustration as her magick levels dried up. The summoner slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes. Auron and Kimahri finally wounded the tentacles enough that they dropped Rin. The blonde gasped for air. Auron scooped Rin up and carried him over to Lulu and Rikku.

"Here." The swordsman handed an Ether to Lulu. "Drink that. It'll boost your magick up again."

The mage nodded her thanks and drank the Ether. She shuddered. It tasted like medicinal grape. Yunalesca whapped Wakka with one of her tentacles. It stung more than normal and the redhead fell over. Kimahri crouched beside the man. His skin had turned a sickly green color.

"Zombie..." Kimahri growled and cast White Wind to negate the Zombie spell.

"Thanks Kimahri." Wakka smiled.

Tidus' vision had finally come back. He stood and ran at Yunalesca, sword ready. The woman shot some needle-like projectiles at the blonde. One grazed his cheek and another grazed his arm. The blonde ignored the pain and kept running.

Rin could finally breathe and Rikku could finally see. Lulu, Rikku, Rin, and Auron joined in the fight once again. The tentacles charged at the group. Tidus used Energy Rain on a bunch of them. Lulu cast Firaga and Rikku mixed up a Blaster Mine. Wakka used his Overdrive and Kimahri cast Aqua Breath. One tentacle sprung right for Rin.

"Look out!" Auron shouted, pushing the man aside.

The tentacle wrapped around Auron's ankle and proceeded to toss the man around like a rag doll.

"No stop!" Tidus cried, rushing the tentacle.

The limb slammed Auron into the ground with a gut-wrenching crack! Rin's anger level boiled over and he used his Overdrive, striking the tentacle repeatedly with his Nunchaku. Rikku was hit with a Zombie spell before she could try and help. Wakka attended to her. Lulu cast a Firaga spell on the tentacle and it finally dropped Auron.

"Auron!" The summoner exclaimed, running to the man's side.

"Uhh..." Was all Auron could manage.

Lulu used a Fury Ultima spell on Yunalesca and Kimahri kept the tentacles away from Tidus and Auron. Rin used another Overdrive on a bunch of tentacles. Tidus used several Curaga spells on Auron. Wakka helped Rikku to her feet now that the Zombie had been irradiated. The group all watched as the tentacles receded and vanished back into the ground. Pyreflies started to swirl around Yunalesca. She was changing again. The ground started to shake and double the tentacles sprang up from the ground. The pyreflies suddenly vanished to reveal the true face of Yunalesca. The giant head was at least fifteen feet tall and looked like it was made out of shiny, dark blue metal. More tentacles sprouted from it like hair. Yunalesca opened her eyes, which were green and cat like now. A purplish-blue pointed tongue poked from between her lips and she smiled. Tidus, Rin, and Auron used their Overdrives at the same time. Wakka tossed his blitzball at the head's eyes and Rikku mixed up a Big Guard to cast on the group. Kimahri cast Haste on everyone. Adrenaline surged through their bodies, their heartbeats started racing. Lulu fired off three Ultima spells in a row without interruption. Yunalesca screamed and lashed at everyone with her tentacles. They all retaliated, pouring everything they had into their attacks. Everyone was starting to burn out. Their bodies ached from exertion but they kept fighting. Even when Yunalesca knocked them all away with an energy wave they'd get right back up and continue to fight. Suddenly, without planning, everyone used their Overdrives at once. The head screamed in fury. Light flashed and the ground trembled. The head started to melt into hundreds of pyreflies. They flew off to reveal Yunalesca. She was on her knees, one arm holding her stomach. Pyreflies were slowly leaving her body.

"If I die, so does the Final Aeon. And with it, Spira's only light of hope."

"Then we'll find Spira a new light!" Wakka declared.

"Fool! There is no other way! Even if there was...even if you did destroy Sin...Yu Yevon the immortal would only create Sin anew!"

"Your father, Yu Yevon?" Tidus asked softly.

"Ah...Zaon...forgive me. Spira has been robbed of the light of hope. All that remains is sorrow..."

The woman finally faded away. One lone pyrefly drifted over the group before flying out of sight. Tidus bowed his head slightly.

"I can't believe...what we just did..." He murmured.

"Let's do something more unbelievable." Wakka said.

"What?" Rikku asked.

"Destroy Sin without the Final Aeon. Destroy it so it won't come back. I don't know how just yet. But I'll find out, ya?"

Tidus said nothing, turned, and left the room. Kimahri and Rikku followed him.

"We'll think of something..." Lulu said softly, taking Wakka by the arm.

"You ok Auron?" Rin asked.

Auron nodded. "Yes. Let's go."

The group rode the platform back into the Palace and headed for the exit. It was morning. The sunrise could be seen through the palace windows and the various holes in the ceiling. They left the palace. Everyone froze. Sin was "standing" at the Zanarkand Shore. It's many eyes were staring at the group. The beast was making odd noises as well. Wakka walked up behind Tidus and wrapped his arms around the teen protectively. The blonde snuggled back against his guardian and stared up at Sin. The entity wasn't going to attack. If it was it would've done it already.

[I know. The Final Summoning's gone. But I'll think of something! Just, give me a little more time!] The summoner thought.

Sin made another noise and started heading back to the ocean. The air filled with the sound of an engine humming and the airship parted through the clouds. It slowly sailed right past Sin and towards the group. Once the ship was hovering low enough a door in the side of the airship opened and Aniki dropped a rope ladder down. The group climbed the ladder one by one and entered the ship. They followed Aniki to the bridge where Cid and Raylei were waiting.

"Frana du huf?" Cid asked. "Where to now?"

"Baaj Temple." Tidus replied. "Then we're going to set down somewhere and let everyone rest."

Cid nodded and motioned to Raylei. She flipped a few switches and the airship started flying towards Baaj.

"It'll be three or so hours before we reach Baaj." Cid said. "Aniki will take you below to have breakfast and rest a bit."

Tidus nodded and Aniki lead them down to the living quarters. They got some breakfast and sat with the other Al Bhed in the eating area.

"Starving..." Kimahri mumbled, eating his bacon with vigor.

Rikku giggled slightly and spooned some cereal into her mouth. Tidus watched his friends eat and talk amongst themselves as he sipped his coffee. He chuckled slightly when he noticed that Auron had to hold his collar down just to have a sip of his tea. Wakka saw that Tidus was sitting by himself and went to sit beside the blonde.

"How're you feeling?" The redhead asked.

"Ok. Kind of tired..."

The summoner bit into his toast and chewed slowly.

"You've been avoiding me, Tidus..." Wakka said softly.

"I'm sorry. I guess I'm just distracted."

"That's not it. There's definitely something bothering you. You can't even look right at me. Have I done something wrong?"

"No. It's not you. It's me."

Wakka's stomach wrenched. He knew where this was going.

"I don't think we should be together anymore..."

Bingo. Tidus had his last sip of coffee and stood up. He announced that he was tired and walked off. He found the private sleeping quarters that Aniki had shown them earlier and chose a room. He hung his Besaid Aurochs necklace from the door handle so everyone would know the room was occupied. The blonde toed his boots off and pulled off his socks. He pulled his vest off and tossed it onto the bed.

After Tidus left Wakka went back to his sit with friends. He didn't say anything while he finished eating. No one noticed that the redhead had lapsed into silence. Lulu waited until Rikku was done eating then the two left to go rest. Kimahri wolfed down two plates of bacon before deciding he was full and leaving. Rin left soon after Kimahri. Auron finished his tea and looked over at Wakka.

"And here I thought you'd be mating with Tidus by now." The swordsman said.

Wakka laughed a bit, "And here I thought you and Rin would be snog partners by now."

"Touché."

Auron grunted slightly as he stood. His ribs still hurt slightly from the Yunalesca fight.

"Well I'm going to wander around. Want to come with me?"

Wakka shook his head, "I'm going to go see if Tidus wants to mate."

Auron laughed and walked away, shaking his head. The redhead forced a smile to stay on his lips until the other guardian left. Once Auron was gone so was Wakka's smile. The redhead stood and walked to the private sleeping quarters. He saw various things hanging from the door knobs. Hanging from the door closest to him was Tidus' necklace. The guardian sighed and turned the knob, going inside. Tidus was doing pushups in the middle of the room. He didn't even pause when Wakka entered. Sweat was running down his arms and back. The muscles in his arms and legs were quivering from the physical strain.

"Tidus..." Wakka said softly.

The redhead kicked off his boots and socks then went to crouch beside the blonde. He set one hand on the teen's back. Tidus stopped, holding himself up. Tidus' arms quaked from holding up his weight but he ignored his body's warning.

"What's wrong?"

The teen's arms gave out and he would've smashed face first into the floor if Wakka hadn't caught him. The redhead pulled Tidus up against him and refused to let go. The summoner struggled slightly before giving up and slumping back against his guardian.

"I love you...but I don't deserve you..."

"Why do you think that??"

"Seymour...he..."

"Did he touch you!?" Wakka growled.

"No. He did nothing beyond kissing...but that's my point! I tried to push him away but he wouldn't stop! I should've tried harder!!"

"Tidus..." The redhead kissed the summoner's cheek. "Is that why you broke up with me? You thought I wouldn't want you anymore because of Seymour?"

The blonde didn't say anything but nodded.

"Tidus. He forced himself on you. You didn't want it, did you?"

"No."

"You tried to push him away and get him to stop, ya?"

"Yes."

"You're no less desirable to me because of what some asshole did to you. Yes. I am angry, but angry at Seymour. Not you."

Tidus turned in Wakka's embrace. His eyes were shining with unfallen tears. "You still love me?"

"Yes. I love you..." The redhead smiled. "Silly twit."

The blonde laughed softly and pressed a kiss to Wakka's throat. "Will you forgive me for pulling away from you?"

"Already forgiven, love. Tidus?"

"Yes?"

"Be mine again?"

A small blush colored Tidus' cheeks. "Ok..."

Wakka smiled wolfishly. "So how many pushups did you do?"

"Fifty or so..."

"Rawr..."

Tidus laughed and wrapped his arms around Wakka's neck.

"Tidus?"

"Yes Wakka?"

"Wanna mate?"

The blonde giggled, "Where'd you get that term from??"

"Auron."

"That doesn't surprise me..."

"Well...?"

"The summoner chuckled again. "Sure. Mating sounds good."

"Mmm..." Wakka snuggled up against the blonde. "Love you..."

"Love you too." The summoner replied, still bright red.
