Chapter 6
They arrived at Bikanel that morning.
Nhadala: "Yuna, I'm so glad you came!" Her voice sounded worried. "The cactuar nation
is under attack & there's a sandstorm. Benzo's out there. We haven't been able to get
close!"
Yuna turned to Tidus, "Let's go!"
Tidus followed after the rushing Yuna, she always did have to help someone in trouble after all.
They rode a hover to the Cactuar Nation, luckily they were able to get through. They found a terrible sandstorm. After looking around, Fiends were also attacking from every direction. Dragons, Ultima Weapons, Malboros, These fiends aren't usually in this area. Yuna thought as she remembered something else. "Tidus, Here." She tossed him his sword.
T: MY Sword. Perhaps I am real after all. If Spira can still hold things that belong to ME, then I must be Real. He was trying to reason with himself. As he was lost deep in thought a dragon fiend showed up behind him.
It reached up from behind him and attacked his shoulder, a surprised Tidus fell to the ground grasping his bleeding shoulder. Yuna quickly pulled out her guns and shot the fiend until it was dead. There were more fiends coming and he was hurt. She ran over to him & started pulling him to the cave near the hover, shooting as many fiends as she could on the way.
Y: "Stay here."
Tidus was completely exhausted and after Yuna had done all the work. Wow, I've really gotten rusty. I'm never going to hear the end of this. I can just see Yuna & Rikku both teasing and giggling away.
This was his thought as everything went dark.
------------------------------------------------------------
Yuna: There are fiends everywhere and the sandstorm is making it hard to shoot.
"Let's see, something that won't miss, will attack more than one and do some serious damage. The darkness attack. I won't be able to use it for long, but if I can get a few fiends out of the way, maybe I can find Benzo and call for help." She changed to Dark Knight and cast the darkness spell all around her, every fiend that was near her fell.
More fiends were attacking and she cast darkness again. Clearing a large path around her.
Y: "Benzo, Can you hear me? Where are you?"
Just then a small machina came flying up.
Y: "Picket, Where's Benzo?"
Picket: "Near Marnela, Let's go sweetcakes!"
Y: What an annoying machina, I bet Gippal designed it, That wouldn't surprise me.
She found Marnela, only a small cactus now. All the remained of the grandmother and next to her the small Al Bhed boy was curled up as if he had been crying and scared.
Y: "Benzo?"
He rolled over and looked at her.
Yuna saw the mask and instantly knew . . . It was not Benzo. And she had a pretty good idea of what had happened to aggravate the fiends here.
"Yuna, I didn't mean for This to happen!"
Y: "Shinra, Where is the invention?"
S: "To the West, I tried to stop it, but I lost connections and then all of this happened.
Benzo is still with it. We were trying to shut it down, but then the sand storm came and then fiends, I was scared they would attack the cactus and it would be My fault!"
Y: "Shinra, you can tell me what happened later, right now, we need to shut it down. Picket, call for help just in case I can't shut it down on my own."
P: "Help is on the Way, sweetcakes." and picket sent out his distress call.
The fiends were starting to surround them again, "Your Pain is My Pain!" she called out in anger as she cast darkness again. I can't do this much longer, I'm already feeling weak and the fiends just keep coming.
Yuna followed Shinra to find the new invention; They found a large machina that was swirling out of control. What on earth could this be for? Yuna wondered.
Y: "Shinra, How do you turn it off?"
She looked down at the masked kid and in a muffled answer: "I'm just a kid."
Y: Of course, I should've known.
The fiends were gathering around them, and she cast another Darkness and was feeling the effects of the special attack. "I need help" and fell to her knees. If I can just change
to my white mage, or my mascot, but . . . I feel so tired, and if they attack while I'm
changing I'm done for.
A snake-like fiend was approaching fast.
Shinra: "Yuna! Oh no, it's all my fault!"
She was too tired to move of fight back, but . . . I will not defeated now, Will I?
She closed her eyes and waited for the attack. It was near now she could feel it just above her. The fiend raised it's arms and began to shake, Yuna felt a sting as the fiend attacked and then . . The loudest noise, as if one her very own bones were breaking, and pyreflies rose from the fiend as it faded away. She sighed. It wasn't a broken bone, she was tired, but not hurt. That had been a Gunshot. She sighed in relief.
There were more gunshots and then someone approached her. She could tell he was a male, for he quickly picked her up, She was so exhausted she wasn't sure who he was. Or exactly what was happening.
"Shinra, go get Benzo and run for that cave as quickly as you can. You don't have long."
Shinra ran around the machina and found his friend, "Benzo, let's go."
He watched the two Al bhed kids run for the cave, and pulled out a stick of dynamite.
"This will stop it. Hold onto me Yuna." She may have been exhausted, but she did what
he said.
He lit the stick and tossed it at the machina, and ran toward the cave with Yuna in his arms.
As they entered the cave Yuna could hear him counting.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1" -BOOM-, The cave trembled, she could feel extreme heat and there was fire and smoke, then it began to die out.
She was still in his arms when the smoke had cleared enough to see again. He carefully placed her onto the ground.
"Well, looks like someone should be hiring ME." He smirked.
They arrived at Bikanel that morning.
