"Fire!"
The Machina guns propelled the bombs forward toward their targets. Zanarkand soldiers fired back with their own Machina.
"Die you Bevelle scum!"
Destruction filled the sky above the battle field. From behind the Zanarkand lines, a man walked silently towards the battle. His black hair waved gently in the wind.
"Carbuncle."
A small green cat-like creature appeared next to him. A small red jewel gleamed on her forehead.
"The war's begun. Let's hope we can stop what will happen. Come, we have a job to do."
The small creature looked up at her master. They walked toward the battle together.
Lenne woke up in her apartment. She brushed her teeth and brushed her long black hair back into a half-fast pony tail. Just as she was beginning to wake up, a knock came at the door. Before she could open, a voice came though the door.
"Get a move on Lenne. The show starts in eight hours we need to get you to make up and hair before noon. Let's go!"
"God! Kiryn let me at least get dressed." She said as she turned tail and got on her robe.
"Let's go sweetheart. We got a show to run. I can't be the one that sings." The man said as he walked in. Lenne pulled the ponytail out of her hair and threw it back in its place on the sink.
"Put on your slippers and let's go. You're getting into your costume there anyway."
"Kiryn, you are impossible."
"I'm your manager. It's my JOB to rush you. Now come on,"
He took her hands in a friendly gesture.
"Look at me, people love you. With this war starting, people need more then just Blitzball to keep them occupied. Come on, shall we?"
"The show must go on!"
"That's the spirit! Now slip on an outfit and met me down stairs in two minutes."
"Okay."
Kiryn ran out the door with a spring in his step. Lenne scrambled for some pants and a t-shirt. She was out the door in a minute thirty. As she ran down the hall, she didn't see the woman staring at her as she past.
The phone rang on the foot of a young man's bed. He tossed and turned and finally got the nerve to pick it up.
"Hello?"
"Shuyin?"
"Yeah?"
"It's J."
"J? Why are you calling me this early on a Saturday?"
"Dude, it's nearly 11. And I got some great news."
"What?"
"You know Lenne, the fine girl that's playing at the Blitzdome tonight?"
"Yeah what about her?"
"I GOT TICKETS! Front row! Dude, were taking within arms reach. Something that luscious just that far from me makes me wanna..."
"Shut up J! So why did you call me?"
"Dude, I'm inviting you to come with me. There are two tickets here and ones got your name on it."
"I don't know J; I really want to sleep today. I got worked like a slave yesterday. Besides, if I see that cousin of mine again, I'll kill him."
"Tidus? Are you guys still at each others necks?"
"That sissy bastard not going to have to worry about the other team, but about me."
"Dude, you guys have been at it since you were kids. Give it a rest already. So what if he's a better ball player? You tortured the poor guy."
"Watch it J. Or I'll hang you up too."
"Sorry dude. Please. Come to the concert. You don't have to watch the game."
"Okay, I'll go. But if I see him, it's on."
"Okay dude. See ya."
"Bye."
He got up and pulled a shirt over his head. He walked out of his downstairs apartment and down to street. Two eyes followed his form as he turned the corner and disappeared into the city.
Carbuncle walked home with her master. Her aqua-colored fur was singed in a few places and ruffled up like she had been petted the wrong way. Despite the damage, she was rather chipper as she walked beside his friend and companion. The older man opened his door and walked in. Carbuncle hopped into her favorite chair and curled up like a cat after a long day.
"I can see you're tired. What do you day about skipping dinner?"
The little ears of the creature perked up and it stared at him with a pleading look.
"Okay, okay. I'll make diner."
Carbuncle jumped from his chair and went to the door.
"What is it Carbuncle?"
There was a knock at the door. The summoner walked over and opened it. A man stood there. He wore a red cape with a high collar, he face barely visible. Dark glasses hid his eyes. The rest of his outfit screamed soldier, but the jig but his side and his gray hair screamed retired.
"Summoner Enzeru?"
"Yes?"
"I am Auron. I'm here in regards to the Esper Core."
"Please come in."
Auron walked into the house and Carbuncle lowered her ears when he sat in her chair. Enzeru sat down in a chair as well and beckoned Carbuncle onto his lap. The small creature jumped up and her master scratched her ear to calm her.
"So, what do you know about Z.C?" Enzeru asked his guest.
"Don't worry, I'm not a spy. I know about what you're planning and I know why you're planning it. I'm here to tell you the truth behind the warnings you've been sensing."
"So they really are warnings. My friends and I have only been assuming that fact. So, have you come to warn us our plan is futile?"
"No, I'm actually here to give you a proposition, but I first need to tell you about all the holes in the warning you and your friends were given."
"Can you tell me its name?"
"Sin."
The Machina guns propelled the bombs forward toward their targets. Zanarkand soldiers fired back with their own Machina.
