Chapter 19

Yuna took a step forward, her boots scuffing against the marbled floor. The others followed closely behind.

"I still hate this place!" Rikku wined to the side of her cousin. Gippal rolled his good eye.

"You're not the only one ya know." Rikku just pouted and walked to the other side of Yuna. Gazing at her cousin she noticed how she just stood there, staring at their surroundings. She didn't bother to look up at her hyper-active cousin. Rikku touched her shoulder gently.

"Yunie...are you alright." Her head snapped up.

Are you alright?

She was sick and tired of hearing that question. Shaking it off she breathed in deeply.

"Yes...why wouldn't I be?" she asked through gritted teeth. Rikku took a step back, Yuna's tone had startled her. Yuna realized how she had spoken to her cousin and quickly apologized.

"Rikku...I'm sorry, I guess everything is just too stressful right now." Her cousin smiled cheerfully, enveloping Yuna in one of her famous bone crushing hugs.

"No worries Yunie."

No worries

How many times had she heard those simple words in her lifetime, although everything has been something to worry about. Sin, Vegnagun, and now the return of Yevon, all her life she had something that made her want to bite her nails. Her father leaving, training to become a summoner, becoming a summoner, preparing to die, finding her true love, losing him, fighting a humongous machina, finding him again, and now this. She smiled at her cousin and walked forward.

"He must have gone this way..." she trailed and she pointed to the direction of where Vegnagun had once stood. She ran ahead, stepping over machina pieces. The others followed her not saying a word; they were content on finding Yevon...and Baralai.

Stepping off one of the many platforms around them she prepared to go into what she called 'Vegnagun's lair'. She placed her hand on her sphere grid and fingered her Summoner Dressphere, praying that she wouldn't have to use it.

"If we destroy Yevon...then I'm destroying this." Tidus stepped forward.

"You mean when we destroy Yevon." Yuna smiled despite the situation. Tidus could always make her smile, even at the worst of times. Nodding shakily Yuna put up her hand.

"Y'

"R"

"P"

"Come on guys lets do this!" the boys just shook there heads as the girls giggled. Yuna stopped laughing and walked up the long semi-intact road. The others did the same, readying their weapons for whatever was in-store for them. They walked in simultaneously; looking around themselves slowly.

"Nothing" Gippal whispered scratching the back of his head.

"Exactly..." the group turned around to the entrance. Everyone's eyes widened as a man in praetor robes walked into the center of the room.

"What do you want here?" Yuna asked dangerously. The man looked straight forward.

"Where is it? Where is Vegnagun?" Paine walked over to Yuna, she placed her sword up ready to strike if the time came.

"We defeated it months ago." Paine spat harshly. Rikku joined their side.

"What do you want with it?" Rikku questioned her twin-daggers up in position.

"I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yet." Yuna and her friends raised their eyebrows.

"Figured out what?"

"Why I'm here..." Yuna took a step forward. The two men joined the small group. Tidus walked to Yuna's side.

"You want it, you want Vegnagun." Yuna looked at Tidus strangely. Gippal crossed his arms behind them.

"Tell us something we don't know." Tidus shook his head.

"You wanted to control Vegnagun just like you controlled Sin. You wanted to use its impressive power to do the job you couldn't do with Sin." It slowly began to make sense to Yuna.

"You couldn't destroy the world with Sin because it kept dying due to the final summoning, but with Vegnagun and its power, you could do now what you couldn't do then." The man laughed.

"Well-it's more than that." Yuna looked at the man strangely.

"What do you mean?" The man turned around.

"That sphere of yours, I have it to thank...how else could I have gotten out of that dreadful Farplane." Yuna stiffened.

"The sphere brought you back here..." Tidus looked at him.

"And then it can take you back..." Paine shifted on her foot.

"So...you cant get what you were looking for, so just give us back Baralai." Yevon glanced at the group.

"Why? I've become quite attached to the guy." Gippal shook his head.

"If you don't give him back...we'll take him back." Yevon just smiled and wave his hand slightly over his head.

"Be-My-Guest" he spoke daringly. Yuna waved Gippal off.

"What do you want in exchange for Baralai?" The others gasped.

"The sphere." Yuna took a step back.

"Why?"

"-Because if I came back through that sphere...then Vegnagun can to." Yuna once again touched her sphere grid, fingering her sphere.

"So if I give you this sphere you can bring back Vegnagun and destroy Spira, but if I keep it I have the power to kill you."

"And your little friend." Yuna smiled.

"I think I'll take you up on your offer."

"offer?" Yuna slammed her fist onto her sphere grid.

"To be your guest."

Yuna broke the pieces of rock that she was encased in and steadied herself in a swift motion. There she stood, once again in her Summoner garments. The others behind her moved to her side, Gippal with his guns, Rikku with her daggers, Paine with her sword, and Tidus with his.

Rikku smiled.

"No matter what you think...the good guys always win." Yuna gathered energy.

"I'll give you one more chance to give up." Yevon's smile diminished.

"You would kill your own friend...just to save yourself, how noble." Tidus smiled.

"He has no clue on what's going to happen to him does he?" Yuna instantly, after hearing Tidus's remark saw Yevon tense up. The energy forming in her hands got brighter, until it was the size of a Blitzball.

Flicking it up into the air Yevon's eyes danced along with it. Losing his nerve Yevon disbanded from Baralai body. Gippal and Tidus ran forward dragging the unconscious Baralai with them back to where the others stood. Yevon flew to the opening trying to escape. Yuna threw the ball of energy it slamming into the back of the beetle like creature. There it floated, paralyzed from the ex-summoners attack. Yuna quickly summoned an Aeon.

There it stood after so many years of its non-existence. Yuna's eyes clouded over with tears as she gazed upon Ixion. She quickly wiped her eyes and called out to it.

"Ixion...It's been a long time since our last fight together, but I have faith. Please help us." The others watched in wonder as Yuna and Ixion fought tirelessly together, each moving together in perfect pace. Yevon was hit and thrown so quickly it was only able to heal itself once. Only minutes after the start of the battle Ixion was down, calm do to its exhaustion, it hit the floor but instead of returning to the sphere it enveloped into a million pyreflies.

The group stared at the pyreflies stupidly.

What the hell was going on?

AN: I know a bad place to end this chapter but I didn't want to get too in depth about everything. I tried to clear some things up in this chappy and I hope I was able to do that. Thank you guys for the reviews.

Also: I will be gone for 3 weeks starting 10/24 due to my upcoming sweet 16 (YAY ME!) so I will not be able to upload any new chapters for a while. As soon as I get back I will give you all another awesome chappy! I've already got some great ideas for this. Thanks ppl!
