Chapter 6 The battle is fought, The dream
As the aeons clashed at each other, a loud boom shook the place. The two aeons fell to the ground of the chamber, when the three that were circling over them were charging for a group attack. Bahamut got back up and used cura on him. Shiva casted Blizarra on herself, restoring her energy.
"Bahamut, use 'Impulse'" after emsa said that, Bahamut flew behind her, put out his hands, and used his impulse attack. It hit the seahorse, knocking it down.
Shiva sent a barrage of heavenly strikes at the girl, but it barely did anything. Finally, Deyogen directed Shiva to use 'Diamond Dust.' Shiva attacked the seahorse, delivering the last blow to it. It was the weakest one of the three aeons, so Shiva and Bahamut focused on it more than they did the other two. Now the scores were even, two on two. Since the seahorse was gone, they couldn't deliver the combined overdrive.
"Bahamut, use megaflare!" Bahamut used the attack on the guy, not fazing him one bit. He attacked back with waterga. A mass of water came out of the blue hole and slammed into Bahamut when he burst into pyrflies.
"Emsa! What do we do?!" Deyogen was running towards Emsa when the girl sent a large aura blast towards him. Shiva ran to him and took the blast, causing her to burst into pyrflies. "Now we have no aeons. I have three aeons left. I'll summon Valefore, she wont be as strong, but she will buy us some time until we find a plan.
Deyogen raised his staff in the air over his head when Valefore's emblem appeared over him. A white swirl of energy rushed into the emblem when it exploded, revealing a large glowing form. It span around and threw the energy at the two aeons.
The aeons flinched and backed away.
"That actually hurt them...Valefore is supposed to be the weakest of the aeons." Emsa stood back and got into a fighting stance. "Here, I will help. I will cast magic on them."
She raised her hands in an X form when a yellow ball formed. "THUNDER BOOM!" The ball shot at the girl and trapped her in a cage of lightning. A barrage of lightning bolts began to shock her when the cage exploded. The girl fell to the ground and started to run towards her.
"Emsa look out!" Deyogen casted thundara at her feet, causing her to trip. Valefore had the guy occupied enough to let the two summoners attack the one aeon. Valefore released Energy rain on the guy, and he burst into pyrflies. "EMSA! VALEFORE TOOK OUT THE GUY!"
Emsa didn't her him because she was being attacked by the girl. Emsa, in a last attempt, released her overdrive. Summoner's Soul.
Emsa swung her staff in front of her. At the tip of it, Bahamut's emblem glowed brightly, giving off a vibe of power. The sign of Yevon appeared when the attributes of the faith were circling around it. Bahamut's sign glowed in front of the Yevon sign. The whole mass was swirling in front of the staff like it was a massive gun. Then it flickered when at once a white titanic blast shot out of the center. It hit the girl and no doubt it made her burst into pyrflies.
"There, pant...pant... where is the guy?"
"Valefore took care of him...I told you that."
"When did he do it?"
"Before you made all Hell brake loose."
"Oh. So. Lets get these aeons...after fighting them, it made me want them more."
The two walked to the statue with the faith hovering over them, and did the prayer once more.
"Summoners. You have proven yourself worthy of our power. We shall bestow you with our might." The three floated over them when they soared into Emsa's chest, then Deyogen's. The two fell on the statue and rested there for a while.
dream
'Deyogen, run! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! My aeon is going to attack!!! Deyogen ran out of the path of the aeon's attack when it blasted Sin. Sin was not amused by it. 'He was not fazed by it. Do you think that we should do it?'
'Fine. Shiva, I evol'...............
end dream
-two hours later-
Emsa began to wake up when she saw that Deyogen was gone. She heard five voices, then Deyogen's. "Emsa, don't come out!" "Deyogen?" She grabbed hers and Deyogen's staffs and walked out of the chamber when she was met by a clicking noise. She looked around when she saw guards holding guns to Deyogen's, Morornda's, and Thayen's necks.
"Don't move or I will shoot." The man that was holding the gun to her said. "Who are you and why are you here?"
"I am the summoner Emsa from Bevelle. He is summoner Deyogen from Macalania. That is Moronda and Thayen, they are our guardians. Who are you and why are you holding these guns to us?"
"We had direct orders from the master to follow you. We saw you enter the forbidden building."
"What forbidden building?"
"This one."
"This is a temple of Yevon. It should be open to all to pray. Why is it forbidden?"
"We don't have to tell you why."
"Let her go." A man's voice came up behind the guard. He had fire red hair and was wearing a masters pendent. He was the new acclaimed master of Yevon. "Let them go."
"Right away sir." The men lowered their weapons and stepped back a few feet from the group.
"Yah that's right...didn't want to have to get all summoner on you." Deyogen said with a smart allic voice.
"Master. What are you doing here. And why is this temple forbidden?"
"We don't want to tell you that information. We have good reason why you are not to go here." The master rested his hands on her shoulders. "Emsa, stay away from here. Stay away from the other forbidden temples. Give us the book and forget the nonsense."
"How do you know me and how do you know about the book?"
"Your father sent out word to all the masters that the book has been found and that you have it into your possession. Now tell us where the book is and we will go get it."
"Why don't you let us go get it?"
"How do we know that you wont try to trick us like you did your father?"
"Emsa. Don't give him the book." Moronda was backing away from the group. "Lets go Emsa, Deyogen you too, same with you Thayen." Moronda raised her hands over her head when one of her hands started to glow. "Shield your eyes! SunRay!" A blinding flash dazed the people when they ran to the teleport pad that was at the entrance. They teleported to the surface when they were met by the ship. They ran to the bottom teleport pad when they were met by a few crew members.
"Ma'am, they came here and raided the place. They were looking for a book."
"Did they find it?"
"No. I have it here with me. I had it with me the entire time." Emsa pulled out the book from her side scarf that seemed to hid it well. "They will not get this book. Now lets get out of here."
The ship took off in the air when they finally relaxed.
"I am going to my room. Don't disturb me." Emsa walked up the grand stairs and through the doors.
"I thought they said that they raided the place, there is not a spec of mess around here."
"We cleaned up ma'am. What should you have for dinner?" A servant came out of a set of doors that led from the kitchen.
"I don't know. I guess I will have the usual."
"And you sir?"
"I guess I will have what she has."
"Very well." The servant took off into the doors.
"Shall we go see what Emsa is up to?" Deyogen was hinting that he wanted to go bother her.
"She said that she didn't want to be disturbed."
"So. And your point is?"
"Yah, your right." They ran full speed up the stairs when Deyogen burst through the doors. They reached Emsa's doors when they noticed that it was locked.
knock knock "Emsa, are you there?" Moronda was looking around at the lock hole to see if she was in there.
"Yes. What do you want?"
"What are you doi..." she couldn't finish her sentence when the door flew open and she was pulled in aggressively. Deyogen was forced in the same way, but he took down a table before he met the floor.
"What is the big deal?" Moronda was getting up. "Why were you so rough?"
"OUCH!" Deyogen was standing up, dusting off the remains of the plant that was on the table, along with some of the table. "Next time, warn me. I could have been hurt."
"Yevon forbid, we can't let that happen." Emsa mumbled.
"What?"
"Nothing. Now what I wanted to tell you two, is the next temple."
"Why are you so secretive about that?"
"I'm not, I just wanted some peace and quiet while I figure out where it is."
"And what is that supposed to mean? Are you trying to tell us that we are loud?"
"No...what ever gave you that idea...G...I wonder." Emsa pulled the book off of the couch and showed them. "The next temple is in Kilika Island."
"How do you know?" Moronda took the book from Deyogen.
"Look. You see here. It says that it is in a vast forest of fire. Where else is there with forest and fire?"
"You got a point there. But two temples in a row, one right next to each other? It doesn't make any sense." Moronda was scratching her head. "That would be too easy."
"Do you have to have Ifrit to get into this one." Deyogen said.
"I don't know. Maybe. We will find out tomorrow."
"So we are going to spend the rest of the day here?" Deyogen was kicking around the dirt on the floor.
"Yah. It would give us time to train with our aeons. You saw how weak they were in the temple."
"Yah, I was disappointed in Shiva. It is shocking that Valefore took the guy out."
"Guys, what are you talking about?" Moronda was convinced that they finally were done for. She knew that they had a few screws loose, but not the whole factory.
"Nothing." They both said.
"If you guys want to train, there is a training floor all the way at the bottom two floors. They are dedicated to training."
They went to the elevator when they reached the second to last floor in the airship.
"Geez! Do you think that this could get any bigger?!?" Deyogen was looking around at the gargantuan room when he saw many different fields. There was a snow place, grassy, forest, desert, fire, and a place that shot out lightning, you know, for the thunder plains.
"This is one of the most ultimate training places in Spira. There is everything to accommodate every type of place there is. You can also fight simulations of feinds from our selections. On the bottom half is what we think fighting Sin would be like. The bottom half is dedicated to Sin alone." Moronda walked over to the door that led to the bottom floor, "I think it is cool. There is no other place that can have that effect."
They began to train for hours when an announcement came over the intercom. "Are you guys going to train all night or are you going to give it a rest."
"What do you mean?" Emsa said into a golden box on the wall.
"You guys have been training for four hours. The cooks are done with your food and they are wondering if you guys are going to eat."
"Yah, tell them that we will be there in a few. Moronda, Deyogen, I thing that we need to give it a rest now."
They went up to the dining room when they were served with Moronda's favorite dish, which didn't look appetizing to Deyogen. Emsa had them fix her a plate of Bevellian food.
"What's wrong, Deyogen? Your not eating. Your not...disgusted...are you?" Moronda was having fun with him for choosing a food that was made out of the flesh of a Behemoth, the most foul and disgusting looking flesh in Spira. It was considered a delicacy in Home though. (AN: think about it...in some places, eating worms is gross, but in some places, it is famous.)
"No...nothing wrong." He picked up his fork with a large piece of meat on it when he shoved it in his mouth. He spat it out back on the plate and took a big swig of wine. "DISGUSTING! THAT IS THE MOST FOUL THING THAT I HAVE EVER TASTED...COOK...FIX ME ANYTHING THAT YOU KNOW THAT IS FROM ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HOME! Please." The cooks went into the kitchen and came our with a large turkey like thing that was roasted and cooked to perfection. "Moronda...you see this...this is real food here." He was waving a large piece of the thing in her way, having some of the meat smack her in the face.
"Well, I am off to bed." Emsa left the table and went in her room.
"I am going to." Moronda did the same.
mumble...mumble...Behemoth meat...mumble...mumble Deyogen finished the entire thing when he left the table.
Emsa's dream
'Deyogen, run! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! My aeon is going to attack!!! Deyogen ran out of the path of the aeon's attack when it blasted Sin. Sin was not amused by it. 'He was not fazed by it. Do you think that we should do it?'
'Fine with me. Shiva, I evolution summon you!' Deyogen's hand lit up with the sphere when Shiva's emblem appeared In front of him. He threw the sphere into the center of it when another emblem appeared in front of it...
end dream
Emsa woke up the next morning and went out into the hallway. Deyogen was coming out of the bathroom, he is a man after all, when she saw Moronda walk out of her room too. She told them about the dreams that she was having. They thought that she was going crazy, of course. This is Moronda and Deyogen. And it was Emsa after all that has been having these crazy dreams.
"Don't worry about it. It is just a dream. It is not like it is going to come true or anything." Moronda was trying her hardest to be open minded.
"What do you think these dreams mean, though?" Emsa asked.
"Nothing. Take it from me, These things never come true. I dream about having two girls all over me all the time, but look, it hasn't happened." Deyogen added.
"And probably never will" Moronda smarted off.
"And what is that exactly supposed to mean...?"
"Nothing... nothing at all."
"Better not." He mumbled.
"Hey, What happened to Thayen?"
"Oh. He told me that he wanted to go back to the 'Sacred Mountain'. He said he didn't want to go on..."Boom The whole airship shook knocking everyone doen.
"What was that?" Emsa asked.
Nasty cliff hangers, Got to love them. Yes. I actually got a review. Now I know that at least one person is reading. Thanx.
