Thank you for your patience. Just getting out of bed on my holidays and decided to cause you at least minimal pain, and actually edit some of the script I have laid down here. I will get updating… as soon as I think this stuff is at least readable. Oh and for another note. If you would like to share any hints tips and other things you have wrong with me story, there is the review button down there… Lemme hear it okay. Another thing, if you want to join in… wanna be one of the characters? Lemme hear it. I'll do it.
Right on to the story!
(Mahalo plenty to Lionhart! You are the bomb!)
Any one up for a swim?
"Are you ready?"
I turned and looked at Rikku.
"What?"
"Yeah, ready for what? What? What are we going to do?" Tidus was a bit nervous.
"My brothers found something down there. Some sort of treasure. He wants us to go check it out."
"Us as in Me and Tidus?" I folded my arms and made a mockery of her decision.
"Nope, because I'm coming too. I want to see it for myself. Not all the al bhed are useless you know?"
I shrugged.
"What ever." Sighing and looking at all the al bhed swimming in the water. They truly are water babies huh? Tidus bunny hopped over me and bombed in the water. While under he waved for me to follow. Back to the nearly 'dying' drowning syndrome. "Show off!" I poked my tongue and dived in. Then joining us, once again was Rikku. We all surfaced for Rikku to give us the low down on what and where.
"Okay. The treasure we are looking for is down there. It's inside these sunken buildings. Any questions?"
"Yeah, just one."
She nodded.
"When and what we find. What do you want us to do when we encounter such a thing. If there is any of coarse.'
"Well we have to find it first, we don't even know if it is down there"
"Cool. So here come the treasure hunters"
Tidus dived under. Then Rikku, and I sighed thought ** why me? ** And dived under too. It was chilly, but the heat we gave off fighting mutated piranha and other jellyfish from some sort of bio lab, that remains the last thing on your mind. We followed the chain of the ship, connected to the anchor, all the way down. I just followed the map on the upper right of the screen. I'm surprised that I could see it. Even when I'm in the game. Lower and deeper in to the blue, the darker it went, the more nervous I got. Made me swim a lot faster at times. Made me wonder what you could do when you are scared.
We came to a building. A sunken city. Swimming in to one of the damaged walls of a room, we let our search begin. It's all about the way we came across things in this section. Well I figured that I would know all and see all, right? However that may be, I thought I knew all, didn't see all this that was coming.
Upon entering this upside down castle of a wasteland, we saw a lot. But that's not to say that we seen it. Down there it was pitch black. And nasty as hell cold, colder than what it was when I got landed in this jam. I didn't like this, not one bit.
But where I am now? In macalania. Camping out. It's nothing compared to this.
Swimming towards a hollow with the flooring convexed in all different angles and sizes making it impossible to swim at times, we swam to a point where there was a stone carving and a switchboard that was still glowing.
We left to Tidus; he just thought it was his job to all the physical things, what is it with their perceptions for women? We are strong enough to beat things. I guess we are more precious to them than what we really give our selves credit for huh?
After Tidus tempered with the machina, we followed around some really lucrative consoles and audio equipment that looked like it came from the Stone Age. This stuff was surprisingly enough, gathering dust, among dust under water. Under water for Pete sakes, you've got to hand it to spira, and their find handy work. They are good at being naturally UN common.
At that thought,
I shook my head. I mean what did you expect, even though going through this game, Final Fantasy X, with a fine toothcomb. You'd think that seeing believes. MATE! You should try being there. It's a total different ball game.
Now,
Speaking of which. When Tidus came at us I thought he was psycho. With good reason….Does Giant squid ring any bells? Oh yeah. It passed my "Holy … Sh*t!" syndrome.
Tidus pulled out his sword. Regained his fighting strength, his position as on the game. Rikku was helpful and jumped in too. Although she didn't seem to be too powerful once with the giving hand. When we were on the receiving hand. She was a lot worse. I must say, I'm a little let down by this. I was soo looking for a show down. Then there was me. Lahtinah. Baring all bare fists full of bane and tyrant. Alls well, well, let me tell you. This squid thing here. It wasn't too tricky but that power of his. Kinda got me really agitated. Too agitated.
As we were mounting all the damage we could muster this thing was just like that giant fish that I we backed into a few hours ago. This thing seemed invincible. But even though we packed much heat, we were taking a lot as well. It was embarrassing to say, that at least nearly every fourth hit, we had to heal ourselves. No labled potions any one? We drank at least seven potions. That left us with about three. As time when on, we swapped different positions. For all those who know this game well, you would remember that Tidus and Rikku were fighting this fiend in a cylindrical sort of tube thingy, it had a column in the middle and it was underwater. What was unfair about this bout. Is that the fact that the squid kept moving out of sight so that is was unreachable…for a period of time.
Rikku,
In the light of the game, motioned for me to follow it when it decided the next time it was it's turn to piss off and leave us in the open. So in hearing the orders, I did. It cleared off, and about five seconds in front of me. I still managed to gap it after it. I was a bit slow but still constant. As I did, Rikku and T formed ranks on the other side of it, blocking it's "get-away" path. We all smiled in unison, the wrath was about to come out in whoop ass style. I guess T was the first to open the can. And let me tell you did I ever open up a can or what? Dude, I practically stormed the b'jesus outta that thing. I left that thing for dead. Not only was I more pissed then ever. But ladies and gentlemen boys and girls … children of all ages, I just pulled out my ass my first OVERDRIVE. Now never have I ever been soo pissed in all my 22 years of my life. Never.
As we were tail gating this pathetic piece of junk. We all took turns whacking and inflicting any damage that we can to the fiend. Then I just happened to get hit, 24/7. I just couldn't understand it. I the only one, was soaking up all the potions alone. I felt really sink because I thought I was the one that was letting every one down. Then it happened. Rikku pulled a mighty critical hit that inflicted 349 to it's HP, and then it came to me. I was soo angus I was drinking the water every time I moved. Which wasn't a good thing. I had a very good choice, either, heal my self or do the unthinkable and pull some heavy-duty damage out of my ass and call it my over drive. And you know what…. I went for the overdrive. And boy did I.
I swam up to the fiend while vindictively snatching T's sword from his hand and rammed it in to the fiend, twisting it to my pleasure. Then pulling it out I slashed it 12 times. Now even though it looked really real, it didn't pull off that much damage, during to the fact that we are pretty much level one's and twos here. But I managed to pull off 1999 carnage to it's HP. Which was pretty sweet. I was also surprised to say that I over killed it. Which went to my already big blown up head.
In aspiration and awe T and Rikku came to me and silently congratulated me for a job well done. I also gave T's Sword back. With the destruction of the Fiend, the ugly squid, it blew up and landed to the side of the column in the centre of where we stood. Luckily I didn't get hurt, but the impact punctured a whole in to one of the security fields and every thing started gleaming red. But where the hole was, showed what we were looking for.
"There it is"
Rikku mouth and pointed to the ship. We nodded and T pointed up, because the sensors where blinding us, with the water, it magnified it by half. So we were getting pretty scorched eyesight.
Sword in hand, gloved fist and fighting stance, we swam for the ship and docked. Remembering what we have learnt in the process.
Time got on. Rikku was talking to her boy scouts from outta nowhere; T and I were debating on which underwater version of our overdrives where better. I personally thought T's were. He thought the opposite. Naturally.
Consulting each other's techniques and moves, Rikku came to spoil us with the final move…
"Hey you guys?"
Rikku came to us with an opinion of the outside world, depicting on us and how we got here. Apparently we are still on their number one hit list, in the line of questioning.
T looked abit confused for a minuet. He couldn't figure out where he was either. It's amazing how, he just runs with everything. The biggest heart in the world, also the biggest to fool. Then he looked confused at me.
"Lahtinah?" T looked anxious at me.
"Huh?"
"Where are you from?"
"Oh I'm –"
Just then the alarm went off, lights sounding off and joining the craziness, the one named 'brother' came screaming in albhed. "Siiiiiiiin".
Hoo boy could you imagine the look on T's face, the thought on encountering 'it' again. We all raced to the side railing and peeked over board. Even thought that's what when wanted to do, it was no easy task doing it. The sea was choppy and changy and the rails were bumping into us as we tried to hold on to them. Forced with out power to reach on, with the slippery sea deck T was failing miserably to keep a hold of Rikku and the side railing. I managed to hold Rikku, just enough to let T have a chance at regaining his composure. But all else had to fail and mr. 'accident-prone' decided he wanted to slip. But I couldn't blame him; I fell and tripped more than plenty. He just had to take the cake, as sin was approaching the ship half capsized and everyone fell towards it, caving into where the gravity was pulling us… sin. In hopeful attempts I let go of the railing and tried to help out Rikku who was helping T, who was helping brother… who was too stubborn to let him, still commanding all the rest of the 'idiot pack' as ignorant as ever. I'm gonna seriously have to do something about it.
It was a success…
But I ended up being the victim.
Grabbing T's arm and holding Rikku back the very best I could. (Believe you and me, it looked more retarded than Steve urkell) But I couldn't hold my self. I fell into the water. T tried to swim up to me but sin was too fast…
Hell as fast….
Never thought I would see the day. When I would get to tend to the wishes of sin. Then again, I never would have thought I would be head to head with spira and it's thresh hold of troubles…
You win some you loose some! (Gotta be more than this right?)
I have the best of the gab though. Because this is where I introduce to you, one of the best hopefuls fan fiction has ever seen. One of the best writers I have ever encountered in a long while yet. He came in to my game, which is MY game. Now, I have two idiots to contend with.
Oh is there any end to this…..?
