Chapter3

In Bevelle

Yuna, Rikku and Paine stepped off the airship and glanced around the city. "Where'd everybody go?" asked Paine looking around the Deserted Bevelle.

Bevelle was in tatters, the temple was on fire and the priest's lifeless corpses lay on the hard stone steps. Half the bridge had collapsed and huge crevasses bore into the ground surrounding it.

"Aeon?" asked Rikku

"Yes, I believe this is Rinomo's work"

Brother stepped off the airship, followed by Buddy and Shinra. "Whoh...what the hell happened here?" asked Buddy

The Gullwings made their way around the holes to a large indent in the temple wall. It looked as though something had been thrown against it.

"Whatever made this was around........8 feet tall" said Shinra taking out a commsphere from his pocket and planting it on the ground near the temple entrance, "Now we can see if anything returns whilst where on the airship"

"Aaaaghh" They turned. Barkeep was lying face down in the blackened soil, he had fallen off the airship. "Barkeep? What are you doing? Why have you come down here? You could get hurt!" shouted Yuna.

"I only wanted to shee for myseeelf mish Yuuuuna" replied Barkeep, somewhat shaken by his fall.

"You'd better get back on the ship before...." "BANG" a hole was blown in the side of the temple, smoke and ash engulfed them. "cough, what is this?" Rikku shouted through the thick curtain of smog "Yuniiiiiie? What is it? Where are you?....Hey! that tickles,Shinra, since when did you have fur?

The smoke cleared.....

Half a dozen fiends had surrounded them, Rikku had been stroking a Coeurl, a coyote had managed to corner brother, a battle snake was next to Yuna, an aquila was fighting Paine,a killer hound was barking at Buddy and Shinra was trying to fight an irongiant!

Barkeep meanwhile had climbed a tree.... "Mish Yuuuuna...." He managed to whisper before he fell to the ground, he had fainted.

The coyote turned at the sudden thud and began to lumber towards barkeep.

"Right you.....i can take you on...... I have a new THIEF dress sphere!" Rikku shouted at the coeurl. The coeurl's fur bristled. "Errm...Rikku...somehow, I don't think shouting at it is gonna work!" Yuna sighed at Rikku, she changed into her new gunner dress sphere and Rikku changed into her's.

The battle music starts......

The coeurl pounced at Rikku, she countered by stealing 10 gil. Paine stabbed at the aquila, it snapped and shrieked, it pecked her angrily. Paine fought on until she had killed it. She then ran to help barkeep, who was slumped by the bottom of the tree. She charged into the coyote knocking it into the tree where it hit its head and died.

Yuna meanwhile, was busy shooting the battle snake..."Gee Rikku, this dress sphere was a good idea....watch!"

Yuna performed Trigger Happy on the battle snake, it blew up, throwing it's head from side to side until it slouched on the ground and disappeared.

Rikku attacked the couerl, it raised it's forepaws and slashed her scarf...

"Ohhhh...YOUR GONNA PAY FOR THAT YOU OVERGROWN CAT!"

she drew her weapons and leapt onto the back of the couerl, lashing at it furiously. The couerl bucked her off. She fell to the floor and groaned. Yuna watched in dismay, the moment Rikku had fallen, she sprang to her aid. She used Trigger Happy and the couerl perished under the might of the severe metal.

The gullwings turned to the killer hound, it turned and fled after seeing what had happened to the couerl.

Now only the iron giant was left.

The Gullwings surrounded it and began to advance, drawing their weapons.

"I'll handle THIS Yuna" Brother said glancing at Yuna "Don't want you to hurt yourself now!"

Brother ran to the giant, he punched at it. In one swift move, the iron giant had struck him, Brother fell to the floor in agony, clutching his stomach.

Paine advanced, followed by Yuna and Buddy. The trio fought until the dull thud of dirt meeting metal as the giant fell to the floor.

Immediately Yuna ran to Rikku, who was still lying on the ground. "Rikku...Rikku....are you ok?"

"My.....My.....scarf.....it......wrecked.....my.....scarf!" Rikku clutched the yellow scarf lovingly to her chest. "Rikku...I meant are YOU ok...not your scarf!

Barkeep lay forgotten by the tree

"OMG! I forgot about barkeep!"Yuna shouted. She ran to the hypello. "OMG...OMG....BARKEEP....BARKEEP....are you....dead?"

"Miii.....mii....mish yuuuna?" Bareep slowly opened his eyes and sat up "Mish Yuna.....what haaaappened miiiiish yuuuuna?"

"I think you fainted" she replied, relieved at what she was seeing. "I.....I did miiiish Yuuuuna? I will have to retuuuurn to the caaaaaabin now miiish yuuuna, I have to check to see if things are broooooken......thankyoooou miiiish yuuuna" the hypello trudged to the airship and slowly climbed the steps.

"Brother....GET UP!" Rikku shouted at Brother who was sobbing on the smouldering floor, "I didn't save Yuna.....shes.....shes....dead!"

"Whatdyamean? I'm right here!" said Yuna running towards him "HA!" Rikku said "Y-Y-Yuna?" Suddenly brother sprang up and hugged Yuna "whoh!" "YUNA...YUNA...I THOUGHT YOU HAD GONE....OH YUNA IM SOOOO SORRY!"

"um....Brother...are you ok?"

Brother abruptly realized what he was doing, he released his grip and blushed. "Um....back to the airship!"
