A/N Yay! People are reviewing! Which means that I will try to write longer
chappies. By the way, most of these turn out to be 3 pages long on word,
but not when I put them up. I do try! Honest! :p
Yuna ran in to Djose Temple. "Where is she? Where is she?!" "Yuna! She's in her room. You've got to help her! She won't speak!" Yuna ran to Rikku and grabbed her hand. "Oh Rikku, what happened to you?" she was sobbing. Rikku tried to speak, but because she couldn't, tears of frustration rolled down her cheeks. "What did you do to her? Why can't she talk?" "Me! I didn't do anything! I was in Bikanel desert!" Rikku was confused. Didn't Elma say he was down there? Elma? Elma! Rikku struggled to get out of bed and ran up to a piece of paper. She started searching for a pen. "Rikku! You have to rest!" "She's trying to write something you idiot! I knew letting her work for you would be a mistake!" "I didn't do this to her! Elma says she found her in the cave!" while Yuna and Gippal fought about it, Rikku wrote, 'Elma! Talk to Elma!' She couldn't write lots because her head was fuzzy, and it was hard to focus. She picked up the paper and shoved it into Yuna's hand. Yuna read it. "Elma did this to you?" Rikku shook her head. She started making different gestures, but no one could understand them. Getting angry, Rikku walked outside and pointed to the cave. Then she pointed to where she wrote Elma. "Elma, cave?" Rikku waved her arms wildly. "Elma, went to the cave?" she shook her head. She grabbed the piece of paper and tried writing again. It wasn't as fuzzy this time.
Yuna stood in the cave. Tidus and Paine stood beside her. "So, what are we looking for?" Yuna looked at what Rikku had written again. "Rikku said, well not really but you now what I mean, that Elma told her to go down here, and that she ran into...I cant read it!" Tidus took the paper and squinted at it. "A geiojks? Can Rikku even write?" Paine took the sheet and looked at it. "A monster. You couldn't work that out?" Yuna and Tidus blushed. Paine read on. "Its face bled. Great, so we're looking for a monster with very bad spots. Fun." "Well, we've had worse." "That's it, Rikku is coming back to the Celsius with us! My cousin is not being near some weirdo monster thingy!" Tidus and Paine smiled.
Rikku sulked. She wanted to go with them to beat up that monster, but they didn't let her. She wanted to be like when she was with the Gullwings. Maybe she should take a break from machina, and go for a bit of sphere hunting. It did sound tempting. Back on the Celsius with Yunie and Paine. And Tidus of course! It would be fun. The new and improved Gullwings! The more she thought of it, the better it sounded! She would come back to the Machine Faction. She would just take a break. Yeah! Rikku smiled. She looked at the mirror beside her bed. She walked up to it and opened her mouth. No sound came out. She tried again. Still nothing. She tried for ages. It didn't feel like she would ever talk again. She tried again, for the last time she decided, really hard, and she squeaked! She grinned and tried again. She squeaked again, louder this time. She stood there squeaking, and then tried with a word. "Rikku!" she squeaked. Except it came out, "Rikkkkkkkkk" well, it was a start. Maybe something without a K. "Yuna!" it came out, a bit higher than normal but it still came out. "Paine! Tidus! Gippal! The Gullwings!"
"Well, there's a lot of fiends, but no spotty monsters!" Tidus looked around, waiting for it to appear. "I said no spotty monsters!" he shouted this time. It was no good. They couldn't find it. Yuna sighed. "We might as well go back. We're not going to find anything." Paine nodded. Yuna led the way back out. Paine stopped. "Do you two hear something?" Tidus stopped and frowned. "Yeah, it sounds like footsteps." "And groaning" Yuna added. "Hello!" she called out. She turned round. "Maybe we're imagining it?" "Yuna behind you!" Yuna turned round. She gasped. She was looking in to the face of...Maechen! (In zanarkand he says he's an unsent.) His face was covered in blood. His fingernails were now claws. "Maechen! What are you doing!" he didn't speak, just reached his hand out. "Don't let him touch you!" Paine pulled out her sword and Tidus pulled out Brotherhood. He swiped it at his hand. It went right through. "How are we supposed to beat him? We can't attack him!" "Maybe magic's the answer!" "Its worth a try!" Yuna pulled out her Flora Fallal dressphere. She began casting all her spells at him, randomly. "Use Holy!" all three cast Holy on him. "Yes! It's working!" Maechen collapsed. Yuna changed to normal again. "Phew! That took up all my MP!" "It's not over yet." Maechen stood up and unleashed Ultima. Then he was surrounded by pyreflies. All three fell to the floor. They were near death, but they had won.
Rikku was getting tired of waiting. What was taking so long? They could be in trouble! She picked up her Dark Knight dressphere, and put her head out the door. Good, no sign of Gippal. He would just try to stop her. Rikku started to walk out, but then went back in and grabbed the white mage dressphere. "They could be hurt. I might need it." She ran to the entrance and jumped in. Now that she had her voice back, for the most part, she was saying all kinds of words, to make sure it didn't go away. "Gullwings! Machina! Dresspheres! Oil! Chocobo! Yellow! YUNIE!!!!!" she ran to where the three of them lay. She pulled out the white mage dressphere and cast Full-life on the party. Yuna's eyes opened. "Rikku?" "Yunie! You're ok!" "You can talk!" Rikku turned to Paine. "I got my voice back. You can't expect me to stay silent for the rest of my life! What happened?" "Maechen." "Gramps? What about him?" "He was the monster. Didn't you recognise him?" Rikku thought about the monster. "I was too scared." She admitted.
Rikku looked over Shinra's shoulder. That little wunderkid never stops working! Yunie had forced Rikku to come back to the Gullwings, and Rikku wasn't gonna disagree! She smiled. It was good to be home! But she did miss Gippal.
Gippal sat on the bridge near Djose. He missed Rikku. He couldn't stop thinking about her. He's had loads of girlfriends, but he never felt about them the way he felt about Rikku. She was special. He didn't know for sure, but he thought he might be in love. He would have to tell her. If this was love, he couldn't lose her.
A/N ok, now that Maechen is gone, Djose is safe! But has he really gone? And will Gippal reveal his feelings to Rikku? What will the Gullwings find while sphere hunting? Find out in the next chappie! :p
