Hi Everybody! I'm in a really good mood today so this chapter might go up pretty soon. Thank you all for the reviews! This chapter is probably going to be the most dramatic from my last two so it should get interesting. So On With The Drama!
Chapter Three- Sin's Attack And A New Comer
Semi Chapter- The Summoner Guado
It was Friday afternoon and many were gone from the Island to attend the start of the Blitzball season in Luca. Among the many Tidus, Jecht, Wakka, Lulu, Rikku, and Paine. School was let out early and Yuna wandered to Besaid's Pier. She sat there on the docks with her legs dangling in the cool water. She was bored out of her mind. And apparently so was Baralai and Gippal because they too made there way to the pier.
"What's up boys?" Yuna said with a smile as she looked up at them, "Nothing." They both said in unison as they sat beside her Baralai sat to her left and Gippal sat to her right. "I knew I should've went to that damn Blitzball tournament!" Gippal said as he dipped his feet into the water. "You hate Blitzball, Gippal." Baralai said as he looked at the sea. Yuna sighed as she slumped back. "My father said something about a new guy that was coming from Guadosalam. Apparently his father is one of the seven Maester's of Yevon." "A Guado. Hm... this should get interesting." Gippal said as he scratched his chin. "I've heard of him. My father said the same thing." Baralai said as he leaned back and looked up at the sky. "I feel like the odd ball here. Two children of the seven Maester's of Yevon and the Al Bhed "playboy"" Yuna laughed along with Baralai. "That expression I wish you didn't use it. Your no different from us, Gippal." Baralai smiled and put his hand out in front of Yuna. "All for one." Yuna put her hand on top of Baralai's "And..." Gippal put his hand on top of Yuna's "One for all!" They all threw their hands up in the air and started to laugh.
As they finished laughing footsteps could be heard coming from behind. The footsteps seemed to closing in on them. Yuna turned around and saw her father, Braska, Baralai's father, Dagger, and a kid that looked about their age only he looked like a human and a Guado.
Yuna tapped both Baralai and Gippal in the back as she stood up to face them. They did as well. "Yuna, Baralai, Gippal. I'd like for you to meet Maester Jyscal's son." Braska said gently. "Hello, my name is Seymour Guado. I'm seventeen and I'm a full-fledged Summoner. I hear you are training to become a Summoner." Seymour said gently. "I am. When did you become a Summoner?" Braska signaled for Gippal and Baralai to leave them. They said their goodbyes and walked off with Dagger and Braska.
"I became a Summoner two years ago, in Gaudosalam. It took me about six or seven months of training." Seymour said as he sat down on the docks. He was taller than Tidus and had short blue hair; blue designs marked his face and his eyes were a light blue. His nails weren't as long as normal Guado. "Six or seven months? Wow that was fast." Yuna sat by him looking at the open sea. "Vigorous training from my father can make anyone become a Summoner quickly." Yuna laughed. "So...will you be staying in Besaid Island?" "Yeah, for a couple of years. Nothing is really certain anymore." "Being a Maester's child is rough, huh? I know the feeling... So your friends must really miss you back at Guadosalam." ": Shakes his head: No on the account that I have none." Yuna looked at him. "How come?" "I don't play well with others." "Well, things will change here. I promise." Seymour looked at her and nodded, their eyes meeting for the first time. "I believe I'm going to be attending Besaid Leadership Academy, you attend it as well, correct?" "I do. My friends and I all attend it. It's pretty good but then again... it better be with all the money we spend on the tuition." Seymour laughed along with Yuna. "Yes, that is a good point raised." "Yuna! It's time for dinner!" Yunalesca's voice rang through the docks. "Who's that calling your name?" "My father's girl friend, Yunalesca." "Oh, I see. Well then, I guess it's time for you to go home then, right?" "Yeah, it's been nice talking to you. I'll see you around?" "Most likely, I could probably help you train." "That's cool. Well see you later." Yuna got up and walked away. "Farewell..." Seymour said gently as he turned back to the sea.
Semi Chapter- The Announcement
Yuna's House That Evening...
Yuna walked into the dinning room and found her father and Yunalesca talking in a low tone. She sat in her normal seat, which was the center chair. "Yuna we have something to tell you. It's something very important." Yuna sat there nervously afraid of the news her father was about to tell her. "What is it?" She said gently. Yunalesca looked at Braska as he nodded at her. "We're getting married!" Yunalesca exclaimed. Yuna was relieved that the news wasn't devastating or at least that's what she told herself. Yuna faked a smile so well that her father walked over to her and hugged her. "I'm so glad you're not mad. Thank you for understanding." "Me...too dad." Does this mean I have to call her "mom" now? I hope she doesn't expect me to. Yuna thought to herself. Yunalesca just smiled as Braska pulled away from his daughter and sat by his future wife. Yuna just sat there as she forced herself to eat. She made small talk but mainly kept quiet. This was too much... even for herself.
After dinner Yuna went straight to her room and just laid on her bed in silence. My dad getting married, it's too much too fast. Yevon...guide me...Yuna thought to herself. Moments later her phone rang. She was a bit startled by it but she picked it up. "Hello?" "Hey Yuna. Have I called to late?" Baralai's voice said gently "No not at all. Actually you've called just in time. I don't know what to do..." "What is the matter?" "My father and Yunalesca announced to me today that they are going to get married-" "That's great!" "No it's not great. What if your father went off and got married? Another woman to take place of your mother." "I see... that is true. Mines and yours died together in that car accident. I understand now. Well did you tell them how you felt?" "No I haven't. I mean what can I say? My father must've thought since they've been dating so long and we get along great that it would work out. It wouldn't be must've a difference anyway. She practically lives here already the only thing that's going to change is her rank is this house. Surprisingly it'll be higher than mines." "There's a simple response you can use when she's trying to control you, you know?" "Oh really? And that would be?" "'Your not my mother-you can't tell me what to do.' She married your father not you. As far as she's concerned she only has a closer relationship with your father." "I see, thanks Baralai." "Your welcome. Well I've got to go. See you tomorrow." "Tomorrow then." "Later" "Farewell" Yuna and Baralai hung up the phone at the same time. Yuna lay there on her bed, not knowing what to think or say. But I guess there's nothing to say, is there? Yuna thought to herself as she drifted into sleep.
Semi Chapter- Some How, Some WayThe following morning neither Yuna's father or Yunalesca were awake. They were both sound asleep in the master bedroom. Yuna took a bath and got dressed. A Saturday morning never seemed so dull. The others weren't going to be back at Besaid until Sunday so that meant another boring day for her.
Yuna left a note on the kitchen counter that said she was going out and crept out of the house. Unlike any of the other days of the week Besaid seemed to be peaceful and calm during the morning hours. She walked along the mellow streets not sure where she was heading. It was nine o'clock and Point Zero wasn't open yet so she just wandered the streets. She didn't bother to go to Gippal or Baralai's house because she knew they slept in on Saturday's. She found herself on Besaid beach and surprisingly she also found Seymour sitting on the beaches sands possibly in deep meditation. But some how, some way he knew she was there.
"Good morning Yuna." He said as he turned his head to see her. She walked up to him slowly and sat next to him. "Good morning. If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing?" "Meditating." "Ah, I see. Do you always do this?" "Yes, you should try it. It helps you get in tune with yourself and with Yevon." "Really?" "Yeah, it helped me become a Summoner." "Then let's meditate!" He nodded and showed her how to. They mainly just sat there in silence with their eyes closed. Not speaking or moving. And some how, some way she too felt connected with Yevon. It was a strange yet riveting feeling for her.
Semi Chapter- The Summoner's PowersThey sat there in deep concentration for hours. That was until they were disturbed by Gippal's voice. "Hey! Yuna!" Yuna's eyes quickly opened and looked around. She turned her head to see who called her and saw Gippal standing there with Baralai. "Hiya!" Yuna shouted back.
Yuna got up slowly and walked over to them, Seymour on the other hand stayed seated. "What were you doing?" Gippal asked in a low tone, "Meditating. So what's up?" "Your father was looking for you. He's probably on his way over here right now." "Is he mad? Do you know Gippal?" "He didn't seem it, but parents are something different." Gippal said as he scratched his head. "I see." Yuna said gently as she turned her back to him.
Seymour stood up but he still didn't open his eyes. It seemed like the water was some how...rising. "Hey! What's happening?" Baralai said aloud. "Huh?" Gippal said not knowing what he was talking about, "The water... it's rising!" Baralai said as he pointed in the direction of the water. Braska was walking up to them when the water reached its full form. Seymour opened his eyes and saw the water at it fullest. Something was in it. It was huge, black, and had a strange aura to it. Braska knew what it was and he didn't wait very long to scream it's name.
"Gippal! Baralai! Get away! Yuna! Stay back! You're not a Summoner yet!" Braska said as he pulled them back and ran forward toward the best in the sea. It was Sin. They all knew it even though it was there first time seeing it. Yuna stood there in awe of the creature. It was huge! Nothing like anything she'd ever seen before in her life. It was incredible yet frightening. Baralai stood there watching it at a reasonable distance along with Gippal and Yuna.
They were amazed and confused at the sight of Seymour he didn't budge nor move. He just stood there, waiting for sin to make his move. Dagger made his way to the beach as well and when he saw Sin he too ran towards it. "Seymour, do you think you can Summon?" Braska asked as he took out his staff, "Of course I can." "He's just a kid." Dagger said as he took out double-edged blade. "Watch me." Seymour said without looking at Dagger "Just don't get yourself killed." Dagger said, as he got ready. Sin shot four blast of energy into the closes building in range and completely destroyed them. Unfortunately they still had many people in them.
A certain ring on Seymour's finger started to glow as he moved his hands in certain symbols. Soon the ground underneath him started to glow and form glyphs as four glowing balls spiraled around him and into the air. A chain with a hook on it appeared out of nowhere and dug into the ground. In seconds it started to pull up an enormous beast that was chained and showed only one bleeding eye. It seemed sad and scary with it's huge fang like teeth that showed out of its mouth. It shrieked a great cry as Seymour spoke. "Anima! Let me share your pain!" It screamed once more as Seymour commanded it. "PAIN!" After Seymour spoke balls of clear energy shot out of its one seeing eye and shot Sin's hardened skin.
Dagger's blade started to glow as he too moved it in a certain pattern. The ground he stood on started to glow with glyphs as well as four balls spiraled around him and into the air. Three seeds fell out of the sky and quickly grew into flowers. Once the flowers grew they opened up and three insect like aeons appeared (one for each flower). "Cindy do Camisade! Sandy do Razzia! Little Mindy do Passado!" Cindy shot blades of fire at Sin as Sandy launched herself at Sin, then Little Mindy rapidely shot 15 stingers at Sin.
Braska moved his staff in a certain pattern as the ground below him started to glow in glyphs as four balls spiraled around him and into the air. The moon showed and clouds shrouded it as well. The clouds seemed to form an aeon, a big one at that. It seemed to form an over grown man with a Japanese styled hat and kimono with a samurai sword in it's holster. By his side was a small dog. "Show them what you're made of! Yojimbo Zanmato!" Yojimbo took his samurai sword from the holster and sliced Sin with a strong attack and as he sliced him rose petals floated in the air.
Sin retreated after all of the aeons hit one last time, together. Then it retreated into the open sea. Seymour, Dagger, and Braska all dismissed their aeons after they were sure Sin was gone. Yuna automatically ran up to Seymour amazed at his aeon as well as himself. Gippal and Baralai ran up to Dagger and Braska. News crews were on the scene and had caught the battle on sphere. They also had feed on the damage Besaid took from Sin.
They were all interviewed yet only spoke little. There wasn't much to say. After all, soon all of Spira will be seeing the amazing battle on their TV's.
Yuna wanted to speak with Seymour some more about his aeon but her father insisted that she come home immediately.
Semi Chapter- All Is Fair In Love And War...That night Yuna had a discussion with her father about what had happened. Apparently he too was amazed at Seymour's immense strength. After there discussion Yuna went up to her room and surprisingly as soon as she walked in her phone rang.
She picked up her phone, "Hello?" "Yuna! Thank Yevon you're alright!" It was Tidus' voice at the other end. "Shouldn't you be calling LeBlanc?" "Uh...you're going to find this strange but... When I heard the news about Sin's attack you were the first thing I thought about." ": Yuna blushed: I see. I'm sorry to have worried you but I'm fine. Thank you for asking." "I heard over fifty people died from the attack Sin did on the buildings." "Yeah, I was at the beach in front of Sin when it attacked. But my father and Baralai's father and Seymour were there to summon their aeons." "Seymour?" "He just moved here yesterday. He is part Guado and part human. His father is Maester Jyscal." "Oh, I see. Gippal and Baralai were with you right?" "Yeah, but I don't have word on LeBlanc, sorry. You should call her. She's probably going to be mad that you didn't call her first so-" "Don't worry about it. She won't get mad... at least I don't think she would..." "Ok, so I won't take up anymore of your time then. I'll see you tomorrow." "Yeah, See yah." Tidus hung up the phone, as did Yuna. She lay against her bed and sighed. He thought of me before his own girl friend... but even so it'll take a lot for them to break up. : Yawns: I can't wait to see Seymour tomorrow: Drifted into sleep:
In The Master Bedroom...
Braska paced across the room as Yunalesca sat on the bed. Her eyes followed him back and forth. "Braska... what is wrong?" Yunalesca's voice was low and gentle, very soothing and comforting for Braska. "Today Sin attacked our island for the first time in years, Lesca. And I've been thinking long and hard since my battle with it." "And?" "And I've come to the conclusion that after you and I wed... I'm afraid I'm going to retire from my position as Maester and I'm going to be a Summoner full time. I'm going to go on the pilgrimage-" "No you can't: gets off the bed and walks up to him: You can't, you hear me!?" "I have to. I am sorry." " But you can't go! What about me? What about your daughter?" "I thought about that, too. And this is what I have to say... Being with your loved ones is all good but... keeping Sin away from them is much better." "But you'll die..." Her eyes filled with tears. He put his arms around her and held her close to him, "I know, I know. And I am sorry. I am so deeply sorry..." "Please don't go. Don't go through with this..." "But I must... I must go. For our Yuna..." She started to weep in his arms. She knew that these moments with him would inevitably be their last ones together.
The day had gone quickly she spent of her day with Seymour. They laughed and talked about her Summoning talents as well as his. Yuna had seen her father making a few calls in the morning and Yunalesca looking rather sad for someone who was engaged. Though Yuna didn't say anything to either of them. She figured if they wanted her to know they would've of told her.
That AfternoonYuna waited at Besaid's docks for her friend's arrival along with Seymour, Gippal, Baralai, Braska, and LeBlanc. Yuna could see from the corner of her eyes that LeBlanc was giving her nasty looks but she didn't say anything to her. About twenty minutes into the waiting the ship arrived with her friends aboard it. Tidus, Rikku, Lulu, Wakka, and Paine towards them.
"Hey, from what I can see the damage wasn't great, huh?" Tidus said with a smile. "Last time I checked I wasn't LeBlanc." "Oh yeah. Sorry it happened again. You know... thinking about you first and all." Yuna blushed and smiled. "I see." "I'll talk to you later, ok?" "Ok" Tidus said as he walked over to LeBlanc. Paine was with Baralai as was Rikku with Gippal, Lulu and Wakka were talking with Seymour. Braska walked up to Jecht and spoke to him about his decision. He later asked Jecht if he would consider going with him on his pilgrimage. Jecht simply said he'd think about it.
That Evening At Tidus' House...
"LeBlanc- what's wrong?" Tidus said into the receiver of his phone, "You don't love me anymore and don't tell me you do because I know that you don't." "Don't say that!" "I can and I will. Who was the first person you called when you heard about Sin's attack? Yuna. Who was the first person you walked up to when you got off of the ship? Yuna! Just admit it Tidus, you don't love me anymore you... you over her now..." LeBlanc started to cry and he could hear her from the other side, "LeBlanc please don't cry... baby. Please don't cry..." ": Sniffed: Look Tidus... I can't make you love me so just get it over with." Tidus looked down knowing what she meant, "LeBlanc, I don't want to hurt you anymore so there for... it's over." "O-ok Tidus, but I'm not mad at you or her. I'll see you around." LeBlanc hung up and cried herself to sleep as Tidus just hung up.
What he didn't notice that his father was standing at the door his back leaning against the doorframe. Tidus quickly noticed him and was a bit startled at first. "Dad... I didn't know you were standing there. How long were you standing there?" "Long enough, my boy. So you two broke up, huh?" "Yeah, isn't that clear?" "I don't know... my words aren't slurring so I guess I'm not drunk." ": Sighs: Two years... two years of working on that relationship and we break up over her jealously and her suspicions." "Women... are like that, my boy. It takes years to figure them out and even then they're confusing. I'm no expert on them myself but all I have to say is this: Do what you can with whoever is willing and goes as far as your heart leads you. Your... mother told me that when we were in high school. Thought I'd pass the wisdom on." Jecht said as he turned and left.
Semi Chapter- A Daughter's Rage And An Old Friend
Yuna's House...Braska had asked Yuna to await him in the living room. He said there was something very important that he needed to tell her before the night was out. Yuna was still getting use to the fact that his dad proposed to Yunalesca; so far his little announcements have been nothing but bad news for Yuna. And this one would be no different.
At around 8:30 p.m. Braska walked down the stairs and into the living room. He stood before his daughter and for the first time in his life he actually felt scared. Braska lowered his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Yuna, yesterday Sin attacked Besaid for the first time in years and you were right in front of it when it appeared. I've made a few calls and made a few arrangements because of the resent attack. So which brings me to why I asked you to come down here. Yuna... I'm retiring from my position as Maester and I'm becoming a Summoner full-time. I'll be going on my pilgrimage in three months-" "Father no! Please don't go!" "I must go, Yuna. It's all for the greater good." "Is it? Really? You're going through all of this to die..." "But aren't you training to do the same thing?" "Yeah, but-" "But nothing... I know it hurts to know what will become of me but let's make use of these three moths ok?" Yuna looked down and tears started to roll down her cheeks. She couldn't hold it in anymore; she had to let her emotions go. "Please stop this! You can't leave me! You'll die!" Braska walked over to her and held her close to him. "I'm sorry." "No you're not! You've spoken to Yunalesca before hand didn't you? Her over your own daughter? That's why you decided to marry her! Let go of me!" Yuna shoved his arms off of him and ran out of the house, "Yuna!" Braska yelled after her. But Yuna was gone.
Yuna walked along the streets and decided to go to Tidus' house. She knocked on the door and in a few moments Tidus opened it. "Yuna, what are you doing here?" "I need someone to talk to. Have I disturbed you?" "No, actually me and LeBlanc broke up." "Oh, I'm sorry so this is a bad time to be bothering you." "No not at all, come inside." Yuna walked in as Tidus closed the door behind her. "So what did you want to talk about?" "My father is going on the pilgrimage in three months, after his wedding with Yunalesca. I don't know what to do... My father is going to die out there and I can only stand by and watch him. I think you were right back there in the temple... it isn't worth it..." Before he could say anything to defend her Summoning talents the doorbell rang. "Excuse me." Tidus walked up to the door and opened the door.
"Auron? What are you doing here? How've you been?" "Aren't you going to invite me in?" "Of course come in." Tidus stepped aside so he could enter. "Braska called me and asked him to join him on his pilgrimage. I wanted to come by and ask Jecht if he had decided yet. Is he home?" "Upstairs. Oh Auron this is Yuna-Braska daughter." "Ah, little Yuna. You've grown up so fast. How have you been?" "Not so good these past days... my father seems to be filled with awful surprises for me..." "I see." Tidus led him to his father's room and walked back into the living room, Yuna was sitting on the couch thinking deeply.
"Yuna, he's doing for the best. Though you might not see it now... he really does care about you." Tidus sat next to her as she nodded at his words. "When did you get all hyped up on Yevon?" "Since you spoke to me in the temple. Your words, Yuna really stuck to me. I just hope you can see the good in this situation like I do." Tidus rubbed Yuna's back and got up. "Thank you Tidus. I should be going though. My father must be worried." "Anytime, see you at school-ok?" "Ok" Yuna kissed him on the cheek as he blushed and walked out of the house and back to hers.
Tidus really got to her... and that didn't happen often.
Super long chapter, eh? Yeah I know well I hoped you all liked it. No Sneak Peak today though. Sorry. Please Review. Thank you.
