Chapter 2
Hiya folks, sorry 'bout the wait, school got out last Friday and so last week was hectic with graduation and finals. Now I get 2 weeks off till summer school and I can hopefully get this story going. Thanks for the reviews you rock!
After running for what seemed to be hours, the girls came to a halt. Rikku looked behind her making sure that the three women weren't being followed. Sighing in exhaustion Rikku turned to Yuna.
"Geese that was a close one back there." Rikku said pointing to where the three girls had came from.
"You're telling me, I haven't seen anything that strong since the pilgrimage...what do you think it was?" Rikku shook her head.
"I don't know...what'd you think it is Dr. P?" Yuna and Rikku's eyes turned to Paine.
"I'd say it was a Fiend..." Paine remarked sarcastically. Yuna smiled halfheartedly and began to walk ahead of the other two.
"Whatever it was, lets just hope that was the only one." Yuna signaled for the other two girls to hurry up and after a small groan from Rikku the women treked on. Yuna noticed how quiet everything was around her, the eeriness of the darkened atmosphere made her wish she hadn't agreed to sphere hunt in such a menacing area. The walls of the ruins were slimy and the odor that ran through the damp, rocky halls would make any man choke.
"Brother here, how is Yuna?" the strained voice of Rikku's brother rang throughout the silent halls, his all to familiar accent shrilled into the ears of the three warriors. Rikku groaned once again and mumbled incoherently.
"Hey bird brain what about us?" Rikku spat angrily. Brother moaned dangerously.
"Rikku! You do not talk to your leader that way!" Rikku folded her arms over her chest.
"Well a leader is supposed to care for all of their team mates not just one!" Brother screamed angrily at his sister making everyone within hearing distance cringe. Yuna sighed and look to Paine who seemed to be enjoying the little tiff Rikku and Brother were having at that moment. Buddy forcefully grabbed the transmitter away from an extremely pissed off Brother. Smiling to himself Buddy spoke.
"You guys find anything yet?" Yuna reached for her transmitter.
"Nothing but fiends...we had to run from one, I guess we're a little bit rusty." Brother's voice once again sounded through the transmitter.
"Stay where you are Yuna...I am on my way!" the three girls could hear someone walking away, opening the elevator and pushing someone out of the way.
"You need us down there?" Buddy asked in a worried tone. Before Yuna could answer Rikku grabbed the transmitter.
"Well there was that big fiend that attacked us earlier...do you think you could clear it out for us?" Yuna grabbed the transmitter from Rikku.
"Don't mind Rikku, we're fine just be here to pick us up when we're ready." Rikku pouted.
"All right but I'm afraid Brother already jumped ship." Yuna's eyes grew wide.
"Oh no! That fiend is too powerful for Brother to go up against alone!" she knew that brother wasn't strong enough to withstand an attack from the fiend and she became worried. Buddy grinned from the other side of the transmitter.
"I'll send Gippal, Baralai, Tidus and Nooj on this one." Buddy stifled a laugh and Paine chuckled slightly.
"When Brother thinks something has happened to Yuna its gonna take an army to stop him." Yuna sighed.
"Make sure everyone is ok then..." Yuna felt doubtful that the fiend would overthrow the four men but she couldn't help but want them to stay safe, especially Tidus.
"They'll be fine just get that sphere" Rikku squealed.
"Lets go! Its dark in here!" Paine and Yuna nodded and the three women continued to walk.
Buddy put down the transmitter and reached for the commsphere. He quickly talked to Baralai, Nooj, and Gippal about the situation and all three agreed to come.
Tidus worked tirelessly in the engine room. After Brother had found out about the romance between Yuna and him Tidus had been forced to work in the small and hot room even to Yuna's protests. Buddy walked casually into the room to make sure he kept Tidus calm.
"Brother went looking for Yuna after he heard that she was fighting a fiend, I need you to go check it out with Gippal and them." Tidus looked skeptical and chuckled amusingly.
"Alright I'm on my way."
Buddy wasn't lying when he said 'Brother had already jumped ship' the poor Al Bhed laid sprawled out on the cold, hard, and damp floor. As he slowly came to consciousness thoughts of Yuna being in trouble forced him to stand and look for the woman that held his heart.
Slowly the form of an unknown creature emerged from behind him causing him to scream in fear. The Fiend charged toward him, and so cowardly he ran like there was no tomorrow.
The fiend chased him around until he was panting for air. He was jolted to a stop when the fiend easily trapped him in a corner. Brother automatically covered his head in his hands waiting for the final blow that was to be his end. The menacing cries of the fiend made the man open his eyes, before him stood the four men who were slaughtering the fiend carelessly. Brother stood quickly and made his way to the other men. Soon the fiends body erupted in Pyreflies and the men breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn that thing was strong" Gippal breathed, placing his hands on his knees in exasperation. Nooj nodded and looked towards the way out.
"Should we stay or should we go?" he asked. Tidus looked at the man and then to brother.
"If there's any other fiends like that around then Yuna, Rikku and Paine are gonna need some back up. One of them is enough but what if there are more?" Nooj nodded and Gippal walked to Brother.
"Yeah those girls are strong but who knows they might be running out of supplies...you know how Rikku goes through supplies." Baralai laughed.
"You worried 'bout Rikku?" he asked watching the man turn crimson. Gippal's eyes grew wide.
"Rikku...no way! I just think Tidy-boy here is worried 'bout his girl." Tidus chuckled.
"Naw I'm not the least bit worried...they can take care of their selves." Baralai grinned and opened his mouth to speak.
"So should we leave them or should we help them?" Gippal panned.
"I say we help"
"I say we go..." Tidus replied.
"I could care less" Nooj muttered. Baralai looked towards the exit.
"I think we should also help."
Gippal smiled.
"Its Unanimous we go help the girls." Tidus shook his head, Yuna was not going to be happy with this.
