Well here's the next Chapter. There's no Al Bhed in this one so don't worry about having to go to the bottom and see what it is.

Meanwhile in the hidden chamber of fayth Paine and her so called dream sport was battling her way to the top prize. This new sport was created by New Yevon because they wanted to do something with all their fighters just like what the Youth League did with their tournaments, except it became so popular that it is a full-fledged sport. The competitors compete to see who can go through a fiend ridden dungeon in the least amount of time to get prizes, the perfect sport for Paine.

As Paine beheaded the last monster in her way she sprinted for the finish line but when she got there she was greeted by Baralai.

"How the hell did you get here before me," Paine demanded breathless.

"I guess I am just the better sportsmen, unless you would like me to use the term fighter." Baralai answered wanting to tick Paine off.

"Ya know, if this was a fight between you and me you'd so be on your ass right now." Paine said bitterly

"I highly doubt that" Baralai challenged Paine and gave her a "bring it on" hand motion. Paine didn't bother with words she just had one thing on her mind, to teach Baralai the true meaning of pain. She charged after him, fist raised. She struck with all her might but all she hit was thin air. "You'll have to be faster than that to hit me." Baralai teased. Paine looked all around confused, where had he gone, she then had an idea and struck all around her. Not surprised, Paine hit something hard and heard a cry of pain. She saw the dirt next to hear kick up as if something hit it and she brought her foot down. Paine's foot stopped about a foot above the ground and heard another cry. She heard something click and Baralai slowly appeared out of thin air. He lay there whimpering with Paine's foot slowly crushing his head.

"Who's the better fighter now huh...?" Paine said digging her foot into Baralai's head more, "That's what I thought" Paine took her foot off and Baralai jumped up like a pogo-stick. Just so that Paine didn't really get mad him he said he unintentionally cheated and Paine should get first to the referee.

Paine looked over at Baralai and smiled a little bit, now that she thought about it she actually did like him. Even though he got on her nerves a lot she was still able to smile at him in the end. Of course she never would smile in front of anyone else only him. Then in the blink of an eye where Paine saw Baralai standing a cloaked figure took his place. Paine looked around and saw she wasn't in the chamber anymore in fact she had no idea where the hell she was. There was nothing, just nothing, everything was white. Except for the cloaked being who was just standing there, motionless.

"Soooo, what do we have here a hopeless human being" Paine heard the voice but it sounded like it came from her head. Paine tried to say something but when she moved her mouth nothing came out, as if her voice was stolen. The voice then continued "Won't work, you see this place is not normal." The voice went on "Not just in appearance but in atmosphere, I control all of it, the air your breathing is mine and if I want I can take it." Paine tried to breath but there was nothing to take in. She collapsed to the floor turning many shades of blue. "You see, as long as you are here I control how you live, and while you're soul is here I control your body." Paine was able to breathe again and took in the air even though she was sickened by knowing it wasn't real." If you truly want you can watch what is happening to your beloved Baralai right now." In front of Paine a hole opened up and when she got up and bent over to look into it she saw a close up view of Baralai's face. Someone's gloved hand was on his neck and his eyes were closed and his face was white. He was then flung to the side and the hole went black. Paine thought what the hell did you do to him?

"It's not what I did to him it's what you did" the voice somehow had heard her thoughts and answered back. Paine fell to the ground on her knees and started to cry. She knew what the person had told her was not true but a part of her knew better. While she was stuck here her body had killed Baralai. Blinded with rage and fury Paine lashed out swiping for the cloaked woman, at least she thought it was a woman because of the voice. Paine's hands grabbed onto the cloak and threw it off. She only caught a glimpse because when the cloak left the body she disappeared. But that face had been scarred into her mind, that skinny, long blue haired and pale white face. Paine would never forget that woman. Then she thought about Baralai she hoped he wasn't really dead and thought of him made her fall down on her hands and knees and cry again.

Well I hoped you liked it. The next chapter should be up in the next few days.

If anyone would like to guess who this cloaked figure is then write it in your review. I do accept criticism only if you can tell me what I did wrong and maybe how fix it.

I thank the following people who gave me reviews the first couple of days.
