Hi folks! Welcome to another "Gullwings plus a Tonberry." Anyway, from were we picked off from the last chapter, we saw the history of the Tonberry, Tom. I knew you guys thought what does that have anything to do with the Gullwings, eh? Well, here's the part where you hoped the ladies come in. Oh, and if anyone sends flames to this fanfic I'll ask Tom to T.P your house, stab everyone you care for, and do lots of horrible stuff to you. Anyway, back to the story…

Yuna was walking down from Mushroom Rock Road after talking to Lucil about what's happening to the Youth League with Nooj gone. She thought of how Spira was slowly falling apart from the lack of the leaders both sides from. What haunted her from coming out of the Temple in Bevelle was that she had to destroy one of the aeons she knew. Why did Bahamut attack her? She was so confused. Now, with fiends pouring out of the temples, she had to help Spira out, even if it means destroying her past summons. Also, she thought of Tidus. How was she going to get him back? What if she could never find him? What if she had to move on with her life? Her world was slowly starting to scramble in front of her eyes. Rikku was following her as well. What would Yuna do without her; after all it was Rikku who invited Yuna into the Gullwings. Paine was also coming along. She was her dark, mysterious self like always. It seemed like nothing could go wrong for the three.

Suddenly, Rikku tripped over a rock while walking behind Yuna and fell down into a hole in the ground. Paine and Yuna then followed via a convenient rock formation that was similar to a staircase. When they reached to the bottom, they saw Rikku stuck head first in the ground. After pulling Rikku out, they see a cave in front of them. This cave was in the formation of a battle, as if something blasted the wall to make a large cave. Rikku then complained, "Hey! This wasn't in the guidebook or Final Fantasy X!" After she said that, Dan Birlew, author of the Final Fantasy X-2 guidebook, and a manager from Squaresoft both complained, "Tell us about it…" as they took out a book, Dan his guidebook and the Squaresoft guy his script, and tore out some pages and rewrote some stuff inside and left. The gang then received a transmission back from the Celsius, which was from Buddy. He told the three that there was some sphere waves inside the cave from a sphere that was abnormally large. The three then decided to enter the cave and see what was there to offer. As they entered, they encountered dozens of high leveled fiends to fight. It took hours, but the Gullwings eventually killed off all the fiends that were getting in the way until they reached a Save Sphere. After saving, the three progressed into the last chamber of the cave, which revealed a blue platform with a sphere in the center. The sphere was easily recognized to be three times bigger than a normal sphere and obviously carried three times the amount of data.

When they took one step toward the sphere, a dark figure stepped out of the shadows and next to the sphere. The dark figure had a brown cloak all around it and was half the size of Yuna. It had a large, golden knife stored on it's side and had glowing yellow eyes, which was covered by it's cloak. When the figure took out it's lamp, which was filled with pyreflies, to see who were the intruders, it was easily recognized as a Tonberry. The tonberry then told our heroes, "Please leave this cave and forget you saw this sphere." The Gullwings were confused on how a tonberry could be smart enough to talk to them, but Rikku told him, "No way! We came all the way down here or that sphere and we're not leaving without it!" The tonberry took out its knife, stained with blood, defending the sphere as it warned, "I shall not allow you to take what is mine." The gang then knew that they had to fight it to get the sphere, so they took out their weapons and broke into battle. The screen then scattered like glass being shot by a gun. When the glass fell to the ground, the battlegrounds then revealed.

Paine was the first to attack the fiend. She thought, 'this is going to be fast. I might as well charge straight at it. After all, it worked on the other tonberries we've fought in the past.' And rushed into the opponent. The tonberry reacted quickly to Paine's action and drew out his knife. He then used it as a shield and knocked Paine toward his side while she was still rushing at him with her sword still in her hand. The tonberry then drew his arm up and slammed his elbow into her back, causing 1100 damage to her. Paine fell to the ground, crippled from the experience. The tonberry then put his knife back into his cloak and charged into Paine. Because he was so fast, Paine couldn't defend herself against this countermeasure. The tonberry then rapidly punched Paine, sending 500 damage with each punch. Eventually, Paine fell to the ground beaten, not physically, but with numbers, as her HP dwindled to 0.

Rikku and Yuna were amazed that Paine fell to the hands of this Tonberry so quickly in one turn. The two then decided to change their strategy. Rikku dress sphere changed into a Black Mage and Yuna into a Gun Mage. Rikku started charging up her spell, Firaga, as Yuna scanned the Tonberry. Yuna gasped at the results she received from the Tonberry. Its HP was over 9999 and his level was over 99. He had infinite strength and speed and knew black and white magic. Yuna was about to warn Rikku about the results she gained, when the Tonberry cast onto himself Reflect. Rikku's Firaga attack then bounced off of him and went onto Rikku, burning her up and causing 2314 damage, which was the entire HP she had left. Yuna then switched back to a Gunner, which was the only way her offence could gain since she had no more Phoenix Downs.

Yuna then took out her two guns and started to use Trigger Happy, expecting the tonberry to be temporarily stunned and receiving damage. Unfortunately, the Tonberry also countered her measures. He leant backwards; his legs somehow glued to the ground, and moved fast enough to dodge all the bullets. He then rushed into Yuna, still reloading one of her guns, and kicked it into a rock, shattering it. He then grabbed the loaded one and aimed it at her head. Yuna thought it was the end for her. Memories then rose through her mind as she thought of the worse. She would never find a way to see Tidus, find out who is Lenne, or see why her former aeons betrayed her. She starred into the eyes of the tonberry, wondering how the fiend could've defeated them so easily. Even a normal tonberry wasn't that agile, strong, and intelligent. She then heard the fiend placing his finger onto the trigger and expected it to fire at her head. She closed her eyes, waiting for the moment she'd die as a gunfire sound exploded and blood sprayed onto her clothes.

After a few minutes, Yuna noticed she wasn't dead, since she could still feel herself breathing. She then opened her eyes to see that the tonberry aimed the shot, not at her, but at another target as the other target's blood sprayed onto her. She turned around to see that another tonberry, holding a knife, was about to stab her when the tonberry she was fighting saved her by firing the one behind her. She was confused at the moment, why didn't the tonberry kill her when he had the chance. The tonberry smiled at her, as if he was planning to become friends or something. Then, out of nowhere, a giant boulder came out from the ceiling of the cave and fell onto the tonberry. Yuna saw that the gunshot caused a sound wave that broke the top of the ceiling in the cave and it fell onto the tonberry. After finding a chest filled with Phoenix Downs she used to bring Rikku and Paine back to life, she told the two about how the Tonberry saved her instead of killing her. Paine and Rikku were as confused as she was about a friendly fiend, but they helped him out of the boulder anyhow. He was still alive, but was knocked unconscious. The three then took the sphere and were about to head out the door, when Yuna turned around to see how miserable the tonberry was. It wasn't planning to kill them; all it wanted to do was protect the sphere. She wondered why it went through the trouble of protecting a sphere to begin with. She then turned around, sphere in hand, and helped the tonberry up. Rikku and Paine both asked, "Wait. Why are you helping him out? He's a fiend!" Although it didn't make sense, Yuna told them that she needed to show that they were friends somehow, so the three dragged the tonberry back to the Celsius.

When the gang returned to the Celsius, they explained everything that happened to Brother, Buddy, and Shinra. Then guys, just as confused as the girls, helped the fiend onto a bed in the Cabin. After letting the creature rest, the gang showed the sphere to Shinra, who showed what was in the sphere.

In the first third, there was a battle between the tonberry and a summoner. In the battle, the summoner moved quickly, attacked strongly, used black and white magic, and summoned to defeat the tonberry. The summoner's finishing move was summoning a Chinese dragon that blew an energy beam at the tonberry and creating the cave. After tending to the tonberry's wounds and promising to train it to be stronger,

The second third showed a sample of the intense training the tonberry had to endure in order to get stronger, like running twenty times all over Spira (swimming over the water parts) and lifting ten shoopuf. After that, he had to read tons of scriptures on the ancient arts of black and white magic. Also, the tonberry had to practice English and Al Bhed, which he was more successful in English.

The final part showed the summoner about to leave the cave, which he told the tonberry, "Don't worry Tom, I'll come back after defeating Sin. After that, we continue our training, so don't slack off." Then the summoner left, disappearing in the bright sunlight compared to the dark cave. Then the tonberry turned off the sphere recorder and the recording stopped. The Gullwings then thought for a while on what the sphere had to tell about the Tonberry.

Guess you thought Tom was going to shot Yuna, hhmmm? Anyway, this is where the story of Tom the tonberry begins. This fanfic even might be YunaTom (You'll see). See ya in the later Chapters and keep reviewing…
