Ch. 3
YRPR
They were no longer the YRP. They were the YRPR.
After getting over the shock that Paine was Riyu's sister, Riyu and Paine grew to know each other more and more. The world of sphere-hunting was quiet; the last sphere they had found was at Bevelle, and even then, it wasn't very exciting. That was two weeks ago; one week before Riyu joined the team. They found it very hard to believe they were going to find another sphere soon. All they could do was wait.
But then, one day, the familiar alarm rang through the ship. All of the Gullwing members went to their stations; crowding around Buddy. Buddy leaned back in his chair, grinning as he did so,
"Another hot spot, in Thunder Plains. You better toughen up, guys; Thunder Plains isn't the place to be week in."
Brother called out as they heated up the engine,
"Viva la Thunder Plains!"
And they went off.
The Thunder plains were as stormy as usual, great white bolts of lightning streaking across the sky. The sphere was said to be at the northern parts of the plains, less dangerous than the other parts. Riyu was carrying a large pack with all the tent supplies, food, and other things that were needed to survive for a few days here. Riyu had never been here, nor did she have a fear of lightning. Quite the opposite, actually.
"OOOOO!"
Seemed like Riyu's first remark when they appeared there. They walked on a bit before they decided to pitch a tent; it was already near nighttime, but with the clouds always obscuring the sun, it was hard to tell here.
Yuna lit a fire, boiling some food over it, humming to herself quietly. Rikku and Riyu were exploring the plains, and Paine was just watching the clouds move in the sky. Life was peaceful.
Suddenly, a shout came from somewhere. Riyu ran forward, carrying Rikku in her arms. Rikku had a large, deep gash on her arm, bleeding lots. Yuna leapt up, dropped the pot of food on the ground, and ran forward to them as Riyu placed Rikku on the ground. Rikku was groaning in agony as Yuna and Paine wrapped a bandage around the wound, applying pressure on it so it would stop bleeding. Even in there futile attempts, the bandage was soon drenched a crimson red, so they added another layer of bandages on it.
Yuna tuned into the radio,
"Brother! Rikku's hurt! By a fiend, I think it was. I just hope it wasn't poisonous…"
She added, frowning at the thought. Rikku couldn't die. She couldn't. Yuna couldn't survive without her. Yuna cried silent tears.
"I will be right there!"
Brother shouted through the earphone. In a few minutes, a floating bed came rolling up to them.
"Buddy wouldn't let me go down, so here's a bed!"
Brother added. Yuna, Paine and Riyu lifted up Rikku and put her up on the bed. The bed floated up to the airship in the sky…
