She lay out on the Celsius, the clouds folding away as the red airship cut through them. It felt weird to be at peace now. Vegnagun had been destroyed and Shuyin defeated. But then so had Yuna, all this searching for this Tidus and all she got was his copy and more confusion.
Yuna planned to continue to search the world for something that would lead her to him, but the world had been changed once more, the three factions now leaderless but they'll something to take their places no doubt.
Paine ran a hand through her hair and wondered whether she should continue to help Yuna as she had become close to her and even Rikku in a way, but she had her own mission, someone whom she sought as Yuna sought Tidus.
She knew that her destiny on Spira was over now or at least at a region of peace therefore the Four High Ones will be able to intervene in her life once more and she didn't want to endanger her companions.
Anger contorted his body as he stormed up and down his own created cleft in dimensions. Injustice had been beaten again, his two Immortals crushed even while wielding ATMA Weapon, the sword of Evil. He had given up on Squall but now Paine was available and he could concentrate on her.
He crumpled down in the void his head resting in his hands, copper hair sticking through his fingers as he sought to clear his head, work out what schemes his brother Fate would have in store for Paine and what he should do now.
Everything he had tried to eliminate Squall had failed and not through the intervention of Immortals. Strangely Aeris had been incapacitated early in Rage and Sephiroth's attack, surely Fate would have had planned something to counter this eventuality? But then Squall and his friends had been able to take care of themselves.
Injustice wondered if he was going about this the wrong way and then suddenly inspiration struck. He now knew what he had to do, who he had to see. He had been wrong all along.
Paine was beginning to feel paranoia rise inside her, it had been too quiet these past few days. They had stayed in Besaid for a while, Yuna and Rikku happily anticipating their roles as Godmothers to Lulu and Wakka's future child.
She herself had anticipated a visit from Nuit, hopefully explaining what was going on with Squall. Her dreams had been devoid of him beyond the images her mind brought upon her. She could feel he was still alive as she hadn't felt the pain that had almost crippled her when that silver haired man had attacked Squall.
However she had caught a glimpse of a scrawny figure with a bald bulbous head and yellow eyes enswathed in a red cloak occasionally in the forests of Besaid. Especially when Yuna was around. She guessed she should mention it to the others but the poor creature seemed to be harmless and pining... if such a word could be used to describe his behaviour.
She sighed to herself and looked down from the cliff where Yuna and Rikku waited. Breathing deeply she moved to edge and dived into the deep pool below to join them.
He had finally caught up with them, he should've thought of this sooner, but then Spira had only been released from its embargo a few weeks ago and he would've thought Sever and Protes wouldn't be so foolish as to go there. Mort grinned happily. He'd be able to finish his mission at last.
'I think you're going to have to stop spying on her.' Protes told Tidus as he returned back to the cave where the renegade Immortals now hid.
'Why?' Tidus replied sitting on a protruding rock.
'You've been seen and no doubt others have been sent to seek us and eventually they'll realise we're here.' Protes told him sagely and bit into a large quartz crystal.
'You're just paranoid, I always take care to remain unseen.' Tidus retorted.
Protes laughed, fragments of quartz sputtering from his lips. 'Paine has seen you countless times, you're so entranced by Yuna you let yourself be seen momentarily.' He told him.
'And how do you know that?' Tidus said sarcastically.
'It's easier for me to get around I can blend into the rocky environment. I follow you in case you get into trouble, I admit though that Paine only notices you because she is constantly on the look out for something.' Protes replied matter-of-factly.
'Well you boys won't have to worry about being seen anymore.' A dry hoarse voice creaked from the mouth of the cave.
Pale light caught a blade making it shine blue as Mort stepped from out the shadows grinning gleefully.
'Mort!' Tidus growled jumping down from his rock.
'Did you really think you could get away forever? You turned your back on us and now you have to pay the price!' Mort told them raising his sword.
'And you think that what your masters do is right?' Protes asked calmly.
'Of course, what choice do they have? They're forever in antagonism to the Other.' Mort said dryly.
'And so you think that excuses what they did to us?' Tidus spat. 'Sometimes we individuals don't matter. Besides you were a mere figment, now you're a supreme being!' Mort said grandly.
'I'd rather be who I was.' Tidus said softly.
'Well that's exactly what you're going to get. You get to become nothing once more!' Mort said grinning darkly and lunged at Tidus.
A hand grabbed his wrist and Mort turned in surprise into emerald eyes and copper hair as his arm was bent back, his own sword impaling his chest. Mort fell to his knees as Injustice released his grip, the two renegades staring in mute shock.
'You should remember what you said about turning your back on us.' Injustice said softly as he pushed the limp form of Mort over, Mort's face paling more than usual as his mouth opened and shut silently with a final gasp.
'Well now isn't this cosy.' Injustice said jovially with a wide smile to Tidus and Protes.
