Chapter 6
Prophecies
On the Shoopuf, Yuna was feeling worse. What had come over her? She had only just got Tidus back and now she was trying to distance herself from him just for the sake of Spira? Was it Daisuke's power?
Yuna screwed up her face and thought hard. Whenever she wasn't around Tidus, the visions came. Whenever he was there, she felt better. All of a sudden as she thought this, a new kind of vision poured into her mind, but it wasn't a bad one.
The Shoopuf blurred infront of her and in the blink of an eyelid she was standing in a large crystal room, and infront of her was a woman. The woman was enlarged infront of her and looked something of a godess. She had long, flowing golden hair and wore the clothes of a royal princess. They were pink, and lined with silver beads around her wrists, neck, ankles and hips. She wore a necklace with a tiny silver book attached to it, and as she spoke, Yuna felt the kindess and love of her message.
"Two who meet by an accident,
shall join hearts to conquer the evil that lies in wait,
Conquer it they shall, but a sacrifice is paid.
One of two shall be lost as bait,
and slowly, slowly, fade
The Two shall meet once more,
when evil is slayed for a second time.
But can they unlock the door
to their hidden power in time?
The Two, united will stand,
but if divided they will fall.
Can they offer a helping hand,
when an evil threatens with its call.
The power lies within them,
together they unlock it.
together they become a shining gem
more powerful than they can admit.
The woman smiled at Yuna, and immdiately Yuna understood the message in the riddle. But before she had time to think on it, she was back on the shoopuf, wishing she was back on the other side of the Moonflow with Tidus...where she could be safe.
-
Back across the Moonflow, Tidus was growing more desperate by the minute.
"Argh! You could have stopped it! It's important" Tidus yelled at the Hypello.
"No, I don't think sho, it's bad idea yesh" The hypell said.
"It's not like we have a Chocobo" Tidus shouted, remembering how the Hypello wouldn't let Lucil across with a Chocobo.
"Imposhibbible" The Hypello said, waving his hands in a "no" gesture.
"Give it up." Paine said. "We'll just have to wait for it to come back."
Tidus kicked the people-carrier that carried people up the shoopuf in anger and ran a hand through his hair. He was feeling slightly sick, and wondered if Yuna still wanted to be with him. If she didn't, what was the point of him being here?
Rikku seemed to notice by the expression on his face. "Don't worry, Tidus. I'm sure Yunie will be back, okay"
TIdus nodded and then gasped. "It's coming back"
The Shoopuf was slowly making it's way back down the Moonflow, its large trunk searching the water for a possible snack. When it finally reached them, the three friends barged passed the Hypello onto the people-carrier and yelled at him to hurry it up.
The Hypello looked slightly taken aback, and shook his head in disbeleif. Then he pushed the red button and they were lifted onto the Shoopuf. Tidus stared out across the Moonflow and squinted. He couldn't make out the other side clearly yet, so he sat down and ran a hand through his hair again.
As he hit the chair, however, he felt suddenly dizzy and he knew a vision was heading his way.
The vision came, and Tidus watched carefully as a dull office came into view. Daisuke was sitting at his desk, wearing a black suit and talking to what looked like a soldier and a bandit.
""...and we heard that she has been in contact with the Lady Yuna already." The soldier was saying.
"But...how? She doesn't have MY power...she can't possibly send out messages through the mind" Daisuke ranted.
"We may be sending bad messages and horrible images to Tidus and Yuna...but she is sending them snippets of what we say and do. She has probably told one of them about the prophecy already, meaning we have lost our advantage." The bandit said.
Daisuke swore. "That rotten daughter of a...alright, listen. What we gotta do is catch those two. Split 'em up, see? That way, they lost their guard. They need to be TOGETHER for the prophecy to work, so we gotta split em, see? Apparently they are as far as Moonflow. Send some POWERFUL monsters, lads. They aint no picnic, see? And...tell you what, use the ones I have entrusted with my power, see? The ones that were once as rotten as those two brats."
The bandit and soldier nodded. "Sir"
The vision began to fade, and Tidus was on his knees instead of on the seat he had been sitting on before. He blinked.
"Are you alright" Rikku wailed in concern. "Another vision"
"Yeah...but not that much of a bad one...listen..." Tidus exlpained about the vision, and when he finished Paine and Rikku were looking horrified.
"So, Yunie must have had a good vision from whoever "she" is, huh" Rikku asked.
"Maybe." Tidus said, his hand on his chin in thought. "We'll have to get over there and see."
Rikku nodded, her blonde braids swinging to the side as she did so.
It seemed to take forever to get to the opposite side of the Moonflow. Tidus was so anxious he started to pace, and often found himself so deep in thought that he didn't hear whenever Rikku or Paine spoke. Rikku was sitting on the chair with her legs crossed, and she was absent mindedly drumming her fingers against the wood of the chair. Paine was standing, staring out across the Moonflow with her red eyes looking almost worried. It was strange, as Tidus had seen her as the insensitive type. Apparently he was wrong.
Eventually, after what seemed like an age, the Shoopuf drew to a halt. Tidus, Rikku and Paine dashed off the Shoopuf, almost knocking the Hypello off his feet as the said"Thank yoo.."
As Tidus arrived at the shop he was feeling desperate...until he spotted her, and what he saw almost made his heart stop.
-
When Yuna reached her destination, she hopped off the Shoopuf and paced up and down outside of the shop. She wished with all her heart that she had stayed with Tidus and the others, because now she knew...whenever she wasn't close to Tidus she would be most vulnerable to Daisuke's power...and so would Tidus. With Tidus not even knowing that yet, he didn't even have any advantage or time to gather himself if something happened.
Yuna felt sick, dizzy and tired. She stopped pacing and noticed she was swaying, and her legs felt like jelly. Slowly, she crept around the side of the shop and hid herself behind a tree. A large sound echoed across her mind, almost making her scream. It sounded like when the Celcius got a distress call, but it carried on and was much longer and not repetitive.
Yuna slid down to the floor and clutched he head in her hands, groaning. Somehow...deep inside of herself, she sensed Daisuke's power was growing stronger. She felt something strange happening to her body, and gasped as she looked down at her hands. They were almost transparent, and a swirling fog was swimming about inside of them..it looked strange, like it should be in a dream and not reality. Yuna was afraid to touch anything, to move, to speak...afraid she might harm herself or...not be able to do anything. Instead she gazed, thunderstruck at her swirling hands and her eyes filled gradually with tears as she wondered what would happen to her.
Yuna felt light headed and sleepy. All she wanted was to curl up and sleep...sleep forever. But something at the back of her mind was whispering...and it sounded like the woman from the vision. "The power lies within them, together they unlock it...The Two, united they stand but divided they will fall...yuna...yuna...high summoner...fight it...hold on..."
The voice gave Yuna courage and somehow a new strength inside of her opened up like a book. She found she was able to control herself, ease the pain and pressure on her mind. Yuna thought hard, and remembered how Tidus had helped calm her after a bad vision, and how he had helped the visions to go away by sitting with her. She knew that she needed Tidus to get her out of this.
"Tidus..." Yuna's voice was something less than a whisper, it was like trying to speak when you were having a bad dream.
No sooner as she said it, Yuna heard something that made her heart leap. Tidus was calling her name. She tried to call back, but she couldn't find her voice. She heard footsteps running towards her...more than just one set, so she figured Rikku and Paine were running, too.
Yuna felt Tidus's prescence next to her and looked up, her face slightly wincing.
"Yuna..." Tidus muttered, clearly worried. He looked dumbfounded, he didn't know what to do.
Yuna had to tell him about the prophecy, about how he had to help, but the sound that had blasted her ears at the start of the vision returned and she let out an ear-piercing scream that echoed all around her. The swirling fog increased inside her, but then...both Yuna and Tidus heard a voice. The same voice Yuna had heard twice now.
"Tidus...you must help her..the power lies within you...together, you unlock it...fight it Yuna...think, Tidus...open your heart, soul and mind...unlock your inner strength...unlock it...find the key..."
Tidus's baby blue eyes sparkled for a moment as some kind of memory flashed across his mind for a fraction of a second...but then it was lost. He knew something...deep down, he knew something. He knew what he had to do. He reached out his hands and put his arms around Yuna who was still on her knees with her head in her hands.
"It's okay...I'm here...I've got you..." Tidus said quietly.
The swirling mist in Yuna seemed to decrease. She looked up at him, shaking, and found her voice. "It...it hurts.."
Tidus put his hand on her chin and turned her head so she was looking at him. "Listen to me, nothing is going to happen now. It's alright, I'm here."
Tidus pulled Yuna into a gentle embrace and she relaxed into his powerful arms. The swirling fog and gloom dissapeared and her body slowly became more visible.
Tidus broke away and helped her up, and found himself falling headlong into those beautiful eyes as she kissed him.
"Thank you." Yuna said quietly as she hugged him again.
"So, you gonna tell me what's going on" Tidus asked. "And we need to hurry, Daisuke knows something." Tidus explained in a rush about his vision on the Shoopuf.
Yuna gasped, and clasped a hand to her mouth in horror. "We have to hurry" She gasped, grabbing his hand and dragging him through the woods. Rikku and Paine followed.
"What's going on" Paine asked, raising an eyebrow.
As they hurried towards Guadosolam Yuna explained about her vision and how it tied in with Tidus's. When she had finished they all knew what it meant, and they were all very worried.
"Well then we gotta hurry" Rikku shrieked, dancing up the entrance to Guadosolam and making a few locals jump. "We HAVE to get as far as we can from Moonflow...and FAST"
Tidus yawned. "Can't we rest? We haven't had a good nights sleep in so long.."
"There isn't time" Yuna hissed, dragging him past the glowing Save Sphere that healed travellers and down the passageway to the Thunder Plains. As Yuna turned the corner she crashed into Logos and Ormi and was almost thrown to the floor.
"ARGH" Ormi shouted.
"What are you doing" Yuna said quickly.
"We were...uh...looking for the boss." Logos said.
"She's in Luca, with Gippal, Nooj and Baralai" Rikku chimed in.
Logos and Ormi sighed. "Figures..."
"Why, you guys outta the job" Rikku gasped.
"No" Ormi gasped, insulted. "We were wanting to see hows she is, thats all."
Paine rolled her eyes, but Yuna's eyes lit up.
"You could do something for us" She said, beaming at them and cupping her hands behind her back in an almost angelic way.
"Whattt" Ormi questioned.
"It's very important." Yuna said, and she explained in a rush about the situation, gave him a big description of Daisuke and Zak, and told them to warn passers by about Daisuke.
"Tell anyone who see's him to catch him and lock him away" Rikku giggled. "And then WE'LL deal with him"
Logos nodded. "It's agreed, good luck."
Yuna nodded and pulled Tidus down the passage with Rikku and Paine hurrying after in a rush.
