Chapter Nine
Unlocking the Key
Tidus grabbed Yuna's arm and he ran out the door. Yuna pulled back, a disapproving look on her face. "What are you doing?"
"Let's go find out what's up at the temple"
"No! I came on this trip to get away from all this"
"Look, if we don't do something, I can just imagine what would be happening next"
Yuna gave in, reluctantly and so they set off towards the temple.
When they arrived at the foot of it, there were giant blue flames everywhere. Some people approached them and said, "The temple is out of bounds until further notice"
"Yuna we are in super doo-doo" cried a voice on the temple steps, just above them. She approached and crouched down. It was a Comm-Sphere, a bright blue half sphere that allowed the Gullwings to communicate with people all over Spira. Brother's head floated about inside the sphere.
"Wassup?" she said
"All Spira's temple are surrounded in flames, threatening some places like...Besaid"
"BESAID?!"
"Yeah, it's a freakin' state of emergency"
"Tidus we need to go, now!"
"But it could take another days traveling to get back"
"We don't have that time!"
"I know we don't"
"I could get you there in a flash!"
Shinra's head suddenly hobbled around in the sphere.
"Just a sec......"
"Hurry up!" Yuna told him hurriedly
"There!"
Yuna and Tidus suddenly lurched forward into the Comm-Sphere, but before hitting in, their bodies depleted into hundreds of little tiny pieces.
Minutes later, back in Besaid, the little bits shot out of no where and formed Yuna and Tidus.
"The temple!" said Yuna gazing up at it.
"Oh glad you guys are back" Wakka approached them with a worried look on their face. "Lulu?"
"She's on the beach with Vidina"
"What can I do?"
"Nothing, just get out of here"
"I'm not gunna just walk away from this, not now"
"What about, the cave" said Tidus suddenly.
"What about it?" she snapped back
"The Fayth? Ring any bells"
"Oh yeah." She turned to Wakka quickly and nudged him, "I'll be back soon"
They hurried off towards the cave were the four ciphers once stood, "Come on, hurry up!"
"It's kinda hard to" replied Tidus breathing heavily
They reached the cave and Yuna entered the first four, the door rose and opened. She took a deep calm breath and walked in.
On approaching the second door, a large fiend shot out of the ground, blocking their way. It was a giant earth worm that was grey and had a few white stripes. "Not now!" groaned Yuna
"Show me what you got" said Tidus, stretching out his arm and begging it to come forward.
"Bring it on!"
The giant Earth Worm raised its head into the air and then shot out a spit ball at Yuna, it hit her but she didn't let it hurt. She swiped her guns out of her skirt and pointed it at the worm, "Bang, Bang" they went. The two bullets went straight to the worm and through its fat skin. Green goo oozed out and onto the ground.
Tidus raised his hand into the air and a visible yellow wind circled it. But it didn't stop there; the light went beyond his arm and into the air. The visible wind exploded above him, when the wind cleared he was holding his sword, The Caladbolg.
Tidus ran towards the worm as Yuna reloaded her gun, he stabbed the sword into the beast's stomach and Yuna shot out a burst bullet. The Earth worm started to deflate and it let out an agonized growl, and then fell onto the ground. Pyreflies erupted into the air and then it was gone.
Tidus collapsed onto the ground and was breathing very fast, Yuna was dripping in Earth Worm saliva, "Eeew, Yunie where have you been?"
The voice wasn't Tidus, she turned around, and it was, "Rikku!"
"Hey Rikku, Wassup?"
"Rikku, why are you down here?"
"I saw you running off down the banks so I followed. Anyway why are you down here, of all places?"
"It's kinda a long story"
"I got all day"
"Well we don't"
Yuna turned to Tidus who mustered all his strength and stood up, "Let's go"
They moved to the second door and entered the final code, but instead of the door rising and opening, a giant blue glyph appeared, it glowed red and then the ground beneath their feet glowed, the without warning...vanished.
They fell about 15 meters before coming to a thud on the ground. "Where are we?" asked Rikku.
"I dunno, but I have a bad feeling about this" answered Yuna, throwing caution to the wind.
Where they had landed was a giant cave, rocks sticking out of the ceiling. In the middle another rock was sticking out, but it had a flat top. This rock was surrounded in flames. "What do we do now?" asked Tidus.
"Only one way to find out" Yuna strode over to the flames and put her hand inside. The flames subsided and Yuna leant over the rock. Words were inscribed on it, "What is it?" asked Rikku.
One born from our mistakes,
One born from brutality,
But one will stand above all others...
Born from our fear, anger and power
That has lasted a thousand years...
Will rise at the coming dawn.
Our allies that have died beside us
Will come back once more
For the future of Spira will depend on it
The one with the only power to stop it
Was once branded a traitor,
The power of seven.
