When Fantasies Collide
Chapter 1
Old Friends, Old Foes, and One Confused Yuna
A man dressed in an all black robe with black sun glasses and a black sword. He stood fairly tall with one arm bulky and the other not so due to an injury from the past. He was the guardian of Yuna and her father Braska. The problem with the situation here....is that Auron is already dead. He died avenging Braska but came back to protect Yuna. Then he finally left this world.
"Auron! What are you doing here?!" Yuna said hugging him. "What's with the new look she said wiping a tear from her eye."
"Black suits me better then Red. I'm here for many reason's. Shall we take a walk Lady Yuna? You need to come as well Tidus." Auron said walking out the hut. Auron wiped the sweat off of his forehead, wearing black on a tropical island on a sunny day, what was I thinking he thought to himself.
"So it's hot even for a dead guy huh?" Tidus said laughing. Auron just looked at him. "Eh heh...so what's up Auron? Why the sudden appearance?" Tidus said hopping in front of him. Auron just kept walking.
"Yes why did you come back? Is there something wrong that you need to take care of?" She questioned hoping it wasn't the case.
"I didn't come on my own accord. The faith summoned me. They seem to think I'm very useful. I didn't cooperate at first but after they made me a deal I just couldn't say no.
"A deal?" Tidus questioned. "You mean you talked to the faith? You can do that when you die?" Tidus said walking backwards in front of Auron and tripping over a log. "Ouch...."
"Yes, as you know pyreflies are what our souls are made of. When someone dies if they are not sent to the farplane they turn into a fiend and must be killed. Well either way, when you reach the farplane you meet millions of other souls. It's like an other world. The faith rule over this world as God's." Auron said again wiping the sweat from his brow. "You were an exception though, Tidus. You were to disappear when the faith were done summoning you since you never existed to begin with. They let you stay because of Yuna. Be thankful."
"Trust me I've thanked her many ti--"
"I'd rather not here about that today Tidus." Auron said recieving a laugh from Yuna who was already laughing at Tidus from when he tripped over the log.
"So, they have obviously brought you back for something important no?" She said looking at Auron now trying to stop laughing. They all continued walking away from the village. The day seemed to get hotter by the minute.
"It seems that we have many troubles to deal with all at once Lady Yuna. Frankly, I don't know which ones to deal with." Auron said bowing his head.
"So even Sir Auron get's stump--"
"Quiet Tidus! This is serious!" Yuna yelled at him. "Auron, what kind of troubles do you mean?" She then said in a very serious tone. They all stopped under a large tree to keep out of the direct sun light.
"For one, there seems to be some type of new organization building itself up on the islands west of Bikanel, the desert Isle. Nobody has ever explored those areas so we don't know much about them." Auron stopped so that he could grab his secret liqour bottle and take a quick swig.
"So we need to find out what these guys are up to on an out of the way island chain?" Yuna said confidently.
"Number two" Auron continued. "Sin." That one word was all Auron had to say to send chills down Yuna and Tidus's spines.
"SIN IS BACK! SINCE WHEN?!" Tidus screamed in outrage. "We killed him for good! All of us did!" Tidus said beginning to pace back and forth.
"Somehow, he has been summoned once again. If an energy source can be found that is strong enough to summon him along with the right seals." Auron looked at both of them. He knew this was not something they wanted to hear.
"So, where is Sin Auron?" Yuna said trying to remain calm throughout all of this.
"Circling those Islands, surely protecting the organization." He quickly spit out. "Number Three" He said getting even more dreadful looks from Yuna and Tidus this time then the two times before. "Tidus. I don't know how to say this....but you're about to get body slammed by your father."
"Wha?" Tidus shouted as he was suddenly picked up and slammed onto the back of his head.
A few minutes later after Tidus and his father had there emotional long time no see and started wrestling around.
"So the deal you made was for Jecht to come along?" Yuna questioned laughing at the position Jecht had Tidus in. He had Tidus's feet nearly touch the back of his head. Loud screams could be heard from Tidus at this point.
"Yes. The faith saw this as a major crisis and wanted all of their so called big guns on the job I told them if Jech t doesn't come neither do I." He then got up and began walking back toward the village. "It's getting late Lady Yuna. We need to rest. Tomorrow we will need to contact everyone that can help us." He said staring at sky.
"What will we do tomorrow?" She asked him.
"We will find out who is controlling Sin and what this new organization's plans are." He said bluntly.
"Well then I guess we should a get a good nights sleep.
The next day they all met up on the Celsius. The Gullwings were there as usual. Buddy was a fairly toned guy but he was not a fighter by a long shot. He was mainly a navigator. Shinra was a weird looking little kid with a yellow full body jump suit on and goggles covering his face. He was a technological god though so he was very good to have on your side. Brother....well he's still in love with Yuna that's for sure. He has kind of seen the light in that Tidus has won her heart though. Tidus is clueless about Buddy and his intentions.
Baralai, Gippal, and Nooj had all begun working together. They have a three leader system as they practically control the world now. It makes decision making much easier on all of them. The three of them are preparing to defend against attack as Yuna and everyone else prepare to investigate. Gippal is having artillery set up all along the shores of all the major coastal cities. Baralai has sent New Yevon soldiers to protect the insides of the cities and guard major buildings. Nooj has hidden ambush parties along all of the different paths and roads leading to the cities in case they come on foot.
Spira looks to be in good shape for now.
Wakka and Lulu were there but with their newborn child enjoying the scenery as they were flying thousands of feet above the ocean. Yuna couldn't see them joining in on the fighting just yet. Rikku was playing with the baby and was baby talking in Al Bhed. It was weird.
A large creature with Blue fur then walked into the room. Standing ten feet tall with a broken horn and his arms crossed he smiled upon seeing Yuna for the first time in months.
"Kimahri! You came!" She said leaving Tidus for second to greet him. Kimahri was very special to her as he had protected her since she was a very small child.
"Whoa! Haven't seen you for a while Kimahri!" Tidus said. He hadn't seen Kimahri since they defeated Sin and he (Tidus) disappeared. "I hear you're the elder now! Congrats man err Ronso!" He said laughing.
"Yes. Kimahri must protect mountain as Ronso Elder." He pasued for a second to gather his surroundings. All eyes were on him now. He was used to that by now being the leader of an entire race. The Ronso live on Mt. Gagazet and pray to the mountain. It's sort of their god if you will. "If there no world for great Mt. Gagazet....Kimahri cannot protect mountain. Kimahri will protect world for mountains sake." He said smiling even more.
"That's great to hear Kimahri. Let's go over....uh oh." Yuna said. She had just noticed what was about to happen. Why she didn't think of this before hand she couldn't figure out.
Auron was sitting in a dark corner of the room as usual looking as though he weren't paying attention to a thing that had happened but in relaity the man was so aware of his surroundings it was scary. The thing he was pretending not to notice the most was that he was being watched. Finally he looked up to see who it was. It was a girl he had never seen before. She was dressed in all black with gray hair spiked up while the bangs fell covering parts of her face.
"Gotta problem?" She asked in her usual cocky yet mellow attitude. Auron took a step forward and grabbed a hold of his sword. She also grasped her's in anticipation.
"I was about to ask you the same thing. I see you use a sword....let's see your skills!" Auron said as he ran at her swinging down onto her only to be blocked by her sword. She kicked Auron in the stomach sending him backwards and sent herself into a barrel roll until she flinged up in front of him and began to slash down onto him. What she hit though was nothing but the ground as Auron dodged while sliding behind her holding his blade to her neck.
"Who are you?!" She asked as the blade suddenly was pressed against her throat even harder.
"I'm Sir Auron. You have very good skills with the sword. That hit would have split me in half had you not given away the fact that you were going to slash down onto me. Had you slashed acrossed I would not have escaped and surely would be lying in two pieces right now. What is your name?" He said removing his sword from her neck. She step backward from him in disgust.
"Paine." After a few seconds she began to laugh. "So you're the Sir Auron Yuna always talked about. I never imagined you'd be this good. Now I have something to work for again." She said as she walked away smiling.
"Yuna, you have a knack for surrounding yourself with good fighters. You never cease to amaze me." Auron said as he went back to his corner. Yuna smiled as always. Everyone had been watching the fight as the two greatest swordsman's that the world had ever known had just went at each other. Tidus was a swordsman as well.....but not a traditional one. You could hand him any weapon and he'd be good with it becuase he's probably the greatest raw athlete the world has ever known.
Clapping could be heard above all the talking. It was Jecht. "Good Auron! Very Good! HAHA! maybe you and I should go at it sometime!" He said.
"Shut up Jecht" Auron shouted as he stepped back out of his corner. "Now, is everyone here?"
"Yes everyone that was supposed to be here has shown up." Yuna said.
"What did you call us all here for? And why the hell are you alive?!" Wakka said. Wakka and a lot of the others hadn't noticed Auron's presence until the fight had begun.
The long explaination thus took place.
"So we're going there now?" Paine asked. "If so we should break off into groups. There's tons of islands over there and we need to sweep them all in as little time as possible. If they are scattered acrossed all the Islands this will be a hard mission."
"Correct!" Shinra interrupted. "But their main base is on the largest island as you can see on this sky recon robot I'm controlling." The video suddenly fizzled out. "Whoa! What happened!" Shinra screamed as he began rewinding back. He zoomed in on the island to show a sniper picking off the camera."
"Well they know we're coming now. It doesn't look like they'll be happily greeting us either." Yuna sighed. "So what are the groups going to be?"
"Lulu will guard the ship when we land since the child can't be left unattended or the ship for that matter" Auron started.
"Hey! We can handle the ship!" Brother shputed. Lulu then used some of her Black magic to set his foot on fire. "OW OW OW OW! Ok Ok...." He said holding waving his foot with his hand. Auron continued.
"Tidus, Rikku, and Wakka will be Island Hopping on all the smaller Islands since they can swim better than anyone else here."
"Sounds good!" Tidus agreed. Wakka and Rikku nodded as well.
"Kimahri, Paine, and Myself will storm the main base while Yuna covers us with gun fire." Auron paused for any comments which he knew were bound to happen any second.
"I agree. You guys are the best close range fighters here. It makes sense that you three be the ones to infiltrate them. Yuna can pick off any body trying to sneak up on you." Tidus said actually sounding smart for a second. "Plus that way she wont get hurt!" Yuna punched him in the stomach for that one. "Pain....lot's of Pain." He said holding his gut.
"Then it's settled. We should go as soon as possible." Auron finshed as he turned his back and began walking towards his beloved dark corner.
"Wait! What are we gonna do about Sin?!" Yuna questioned shocked that everyone had seemingly forgotten about him.
"Sin cannot guard all of the Islands at once. We will fly past it and land on the Islands. Sin is being controlled by those people. Do you really think they'd attack their own islands?" Lulu asked Yuna.
"Alright! Let's go!" Yuna shouted. So simple she is Lulu said to herself. That's why we all love her though. Her lack of wit is made up for with her undying determination.
The two groups were dropped off into their designated spots. Team Fishy as Rikku offcially dubbed them were dropped onto a very small island. It may have been thirty feet in diameter. They dove into the water heading for another island.
Auron led the infiltration team toward the enemy base. It seems that the base was built into the base of a mountain. It couldn't possibly be attacked from behind. Only above and from the front. The fort looked like an old castle. Auron didn't know that though since castles had never existed in Spira. None of them knew what it was. All they knew was that it was made of stone and had a giant wooden gate for an entrance.
As they apporached the gate it dropped in front of them. Yuna was a few hundred yards behind them watching to make sure there weren't any enemies coming from the sides. Suddenly three men hopped down from above surrounding them. They were dressed in all blue from head to toe. Each of them had a machine gun in their hands with a couple grenades on their belts.
"What purpose do you have here?" One of them said.
"We have come to investigate what a large base is doing on a remote island west of all known civilization." Auron fired right back. "Tell us what you're organization is doing or you will die." Auron said grasping his sword with his one arm.
"Yeah right! You guys are dead!" He said pulling the trigger firing massive amounts of bullets at Auron. Auron dodged every bullet except for one which he deflected with his handle and swung is sword down onto the man splitting his head in two.
The other two fired their guns at Auron in fear of meeting the same fate. Paine performed her forward roll and then hopped up swing her blade in a horizontal slash at one of the men's head cutting his head clean off from ear to ear. She didn't get all of the head though as you could see the bottom row of teeth topping off his body. The last one fled in terror but was no match in speed for Kimahri as he drove his spear into the man. Kimahri picked him up with the spear and swung the spear sending him crashing into the stone wall of the base.
Auron noticed four more descending upon them from above. He tried to warn the others but before he could all four of them slammed into the wall spraying blood everywhere. Yuna had picked all four of them off in no time at all. Two of them were stuck to the wall. The other two fell to the ground. All of them were dead. Yuna had some ridiculously powerful guns. What's even more ridiculous was the fact that they didn't even budge she fired them and the fact that she could be so precise and quick.
Auron, Lulu, and Kimahri walked into the base with Yuna following behind.
"Alright! They're in." Yuna called into the Celcius.
Author's Notes: Spira is the name of the planet they're on in case you didn't know and were confused. Yes this entire chapter was based on the FFX and X-2 world. Is this a pattern I will be following? Only for a little while. Just keep reading....please? Leave a review if you loved it or hated it. I just want feedback.
