A/n: Okay sorry I haven't updated in a while. I been really busy for the past few days and plus working on another story on this site. But unfortunately I have deleted the story because of lack of interest. Also on my other story SoratoL.O.C. Fan decided to be a jerk and tell me off because I didn't do what he wanted me to...I took consideration of the person request and was going to do it later on in the story because the point I was at I couldn't just do what the man offered until later. Now to tell you the truth I am typing this story the way I see things...I will how ever take in considerations of certain things, just like the rikku and auron love pair. I am still considering that and will put hints in the story but I don't know if I am going to see that they will become a pair. Now certain things like more detail and what there thinking was added right away because that would improve the story. I am telling this to you now because I want you guys to know that I am considering what you guys would like me to do.... I am sorry if I offended any body but the person who told me off on my story really didn't need to do that because I didn't do what he wanted me to do right away.... Its crap and I am not putting up with it...anyways now on with the story.
Disclaimer Note: This is last time I am putting this for this story, I don't own Final Fantasy X...the credit goes to the Square Enix.

Tidus was shocked and really upset to what Auron has just said to him.
"No way this can't be..," Tidus thought to himself.
"No I won't go back. I am not leaving Yuna," Tidus said at Auron. Auron looked at him then responded.
"Look I know you don't want to leave her but Yunalesca said it you or Yuna would go instead," Auron said rather disappointed. Tidus looked at him and then down to the floor. He didn't want to leave Yuna but if he didn't go Yuna would be going in his place so either way they where being separated.
"Okay, I will go," Tidus said with the sound of defeat in his voice.
"We can't tell the others especially Yuna. She might do something to keep you here," Auron said as he and Tidus started to walk out and follow the others.
"Yeah okay," Tidus said still looking down towards the ground.
"Try to look as if nothing is bothering you, or Yuna will suspect something. And I might be able to get Braska to help you get back," Auron said trying to cheer Tidus up. Tidus looked at him putting a smile on and nodded.
-----------------------------------------------
Meanwhile in Bevelle, Seymour just got the news of Lady Yuna and her companions escaping in the Thunder Plains.
"They just disappeared from in front the villagers. But they found this Al Bhed smoke bomb lying on the ground," the scared man said as he stood in front of the Maester.
"Hmmm so they where saved by those Al Bhed snakes. Well thanks for informing me now you can go.... for good," Seymour said and killed the man with one blow to the forehead. Seymour looked down at the dead man.
"Idiot," he said and walked out the doors.
"I am going to the Thunder Plains now fetch my chariot," he said to the guard outside. The guard did as he was told and went to get his chariot. A chariot with four chocobos at the front pulling the chariot stopped in front of Seymour.
"To the Thunder Plains and make it quick," he said to the driver and the chariot took off.
----------------------------------------------
Back in the Al Bheds hidden underground the gang where in the medical area where they are visiting the still unconscious Cid. His whole right side was bandaged up from head to toe.
"What happened to him," Yuna said as she looked at the man.
"Half his body was burned from the blast," Auron said as he looked at the man with pity. Tidus couldn't believe how bad he was and he walked up to Yuna.
"Sorry," he said and Yuna turned to him. Tidus saw the tears in her eyes and only hugged her.
"Did they find Seymour," Wakka asked now thinking that Seymour could be dead.
"No traces of him, just chard bodies of fiends and trees," Rikku said holding Cids left hand. She felt hurt the most because Cid was her father and her life wouldn't be the same without him.
"We must go, now. We have a battle to prepare for," Auron said as he left the medical area. Everyone looked at him with a shocked look. The most respected warrior just left and was planning a war after they all have just found Cid who might die right their in that bed. Tidus was furious and took off after him.
"Auron, how can you be so selfish. We have just seen a man that we respected a lot lying there trying to survive and all you can think about is killing Seymour," Tidus yelled. The Al Bhed around started to stare. Auron looked at him as Yuna, Wakka, Lulu and Rikku came walking out of medical area.
"You will understand once you get to my position," Auron said and started to walk away. Tidus reached up and grabbed Aurons arm and turning Auron towards himself.
"I don't know why you are like you are but that man is critical to those people," Tidus started to say but was then leveled to the wall by Auron who grabbed him by the neck and held him there.
"You don't ever do that again. I feel the same pain you do but if we don't stop Seymour more people will end up like him," Auron said in anger. Tidus tried to struggle to get free but a voice caught both of their attentions.
"Stop it now. Neither of you are helping matters," Yuna yelled as both Tidus and Auron turned to see the teared face girl standing there.
"Yuna," both Tidus and Auron said at the same time. Yuna looked at both with a hurt expression. She turned and took off past the group. Tidus and Auron looked at each other and then realized what they done. Auron turned and walked away as Tidus sat down on the ground and leaned against the wall. Rikku and Lulu went after Yuna as Wakka walked up to Tidus.
"You okay, Bruddha," Wakka asked who was checking his wounds which fully healed. Tidus sat there for a minute before answering.
"Yeah I guess so," Tidus said but his running through his head was the hurtful expression she had on her face and in those mixed match eyes of hers.
"What should we do now, ya," Wakka said trying to get him to cheer up.
"I don't know but Auron is right in one point but he is wrong in another," Tidus said.
"Well I don't know about you but you can bicker with Sir Auron or you can set aside your problems and join forces," Wakka said.
"Yeah but I think I should go apologize to Yuna first," Tidus said as he got up and went the way Yuna went.
-------------------
Rikku and Lulu found Yuna crying in a small area that wasn't to well lit.
"Yunie," Rikku asked a little hesitant. She stopped for a bit, wiped her face and turned towards Rikku and Lulu.
"I am going to be fine," Yuna said as Rikku sat down beside her. Lulu stood away to let them have their time.
"I know what you're feeling but I think Sir Auron has a point," Rikku said even though she hated to admit Auron was right.
"I know but they both were going to kill each other for what, who had a better point," Yuna said a little angry.
"Yeah but we can't dwell on my dad or any problem. He would want us to fight and save Spira from the mad guado, even if he was hurt," Rikku said. Yuna looked at Rikku and smiled.
"Your right," Yuna said a moment later. Lulu looked in to find her smiling and entered the room.
"Now both Auron and Tidus had good points but I think they knew that they where both wrong when they attacked each other," Lulu said.
"Their expression on their faces said it all," Rikku said. Just then Tidus walked in. All three girls looked at him.
"Um can I talk to Yuna alone, please," Tidus said. Rikku and Lulu got up and walked past him.
"You do anything to hurt her and you will be burned, frozen, watered and fried at the same time," Lulu said giving Tidus a warning.
"Yeah," Tidus said as he slowly walked away from Lulu. Once they left Tidus started to apologize.
--------------------------------
Meanwhile up in Rin's Inn on the Thunder Plains, Seymour and fellow guard where ransacking the place to find anything that could be used to find them.
"Sir I think we found something," a soldier said calling for Seymour. Seymour walked over to the soldier and looked at the empty handed man.
"You have nothing in your hands but you say you found something," Seymour said a little annoyed.
"Um no sir not that I found any information but we did find this," the guard said as he pulled the carpet from the floor to reveal a trap door. Seymour smiled an evil smile.
"Open it," he said. The guard reached down and pulled the door opened but there was a trap and blew the man apart. Seymour frowned to see the man scattered all over the floor.
"Perfect now they know we are coming," Seymour said as the other soldiers came around.
"Get out of here they have the place booby trapped," Seymour said and the soldiers dispersed. Before leaving Seymour turned around and summoned three possessed soldiers and three Mi'hen Fangs. He looked at each and decided they needed a different look. He lifted his hands and the dark pyreflies came from his body and wrapped around both the soldiers and the Fangs. When the pyreflies where done they went back to Seymour as he looked at his creation. Two soldiers where dressed in Yevonite armor with swords and shields as their weapons. The third soldier was dressed in Yevonite armor also but had a crossbow as a weapon with an unlimited amount of bolts. The Fangs where dressed in armor also with saddles on their backs.
"Ride down into there and kill all, Hell Riders," Seymour said as he pointed at the stairwell that led down from the building. The Hell Riders responded by getting on their personalized Fangs and headed down in and Seymour turned and left the building where the soldiers where outside waiting.
"We leave now and find a different way in," Seymour said as everyone saddled up and left.
-------------------------------------------
Back in the Al Bhed underground, Kimahri and his group just got back from their mission of getting supplies that where much needed.
"Good job, Kimahri," Auron said as he greeted the ronso.
"Kimahri and friends went to old Al Bhed home. Found little," Kimahri said with a disappointed look.
"That is all right. We shall keep searching for a way," Auron said and one of the Al Bhed comes running to Auron.
"Sir Auron, one of the alarm bombs in Rin's Inn on the Thunder Plains went off," he said.
"Someone has found us. We must evacuate now," Auron yelled and then he heard bombs going off and screams of the Al Bhed people who took the responsibility of guard.
"Lets go," Auron said as he and the others started to gather things and run for the escape routes. Auron ran into Wakka who had a look of confusion.
"What is going on, Sir Auron?," Wakka asked.
"Someone has found us. We must get out. Where is Tidus and Yuna?," Auron asked.
"Down this way, why," Rikku asked.
"No time to explain. Get your weapons and lets go," Auron said as he ran passed them. Not wasting a minute Rikku grabbed what she could and followed Lulu and Wakka who was following Auron.
Tidus just got done explaining and apologizing. Yuna saw how sincere he was and took the apology.
"So what do you want to talk about now," Tidus asked.
"I don't know. You think we should find Auron," Yuna said.
"Tidus.... Yuna...," Auron yelled as he rounded the corner and saw the two sitting there.
"No need, he found us," Tidus said as a joke but then got a serious look when he saw Aurons serious expression.
"What's up, Auron," Tidus said as stood up.
"Someone's found the underground. We must get out of here," Auron said.
"Who could of found us?," Yuna asked.
"I don't know but," Auron started to say but was interrupted by a strange wail.
"What was that?," Rikku asked as they caught up with Auron and the others.
"No clue, but I don't think we should stay, ya," Wakka said. One of the Al Bhed people comes running around the corner.
"Run their coming," he yelled in Al Bhed but then arrows washed over him pinning him to the wall.
"Help me," he screamed in Al Bhed. The gang looked up to see one of the Hell Riders come around the corner.
"What is that," Lulu said as she and the others watched the Fang start eating the pinned down Al Bhed.
"I don't know but we can take him," Tidus said as he unsheathed his Brotherhood sword from its scabbard. Wakka took a step and threw his blitz ball down the hallway and hit the rider on the fang in head before coming back. The rider looked up and saw the group of people standing down the hallway. He turned his head and recognized Yuna and then wailed to the others. The other Hell Riders heard the wail and came to the others aid.
"What in Spira is it doing," Tidus said as he covered his ears from the wail, which was worst, than a Bats Eye, a Coeurl and Chimera's wail of death put together. The others who also had their hands covering their ears started to move away from the beast. The rider pulled his loaded crossbow up and shot down the hall at Yuna. Tidus stood in the way and used his shield to block the bolt, which it did.
"Lets go," Auron said and the group started to run. Auron was leading followed by Tidus, Yuna, Kimarhi, Rikku, Lulu and Wakka who protected the rear. Wakka looked back and saw another Hell Rider join with him.
"Why are we running there is only two," Wakka yelled up to Auron.
"I have never seen any beasts like these and I don't want to face something that even I am scared of," Auron said leading the group.
"Auron scared, no way," Tidus thought to himself but realized that it was true on by the expression of fear on his face.
"Where are we going?," Yuna asked.
"There are escape routes that take us to safety," Auron started to say but was plowed from the side by one of the Hell Riders. The entire group stopped.
"Run," Auron said as he battled with the Fang on top of him. The rider jumped off and made his way to Yuna but Tidus stepped in his way. The rider looked at Tidus and swung his sword at him in which Tidus blocked.
"Kimahri get Yuna out of here," Tidus yelled to the Ronso who nodded and started for Yuna but a wave if bolts came flying at them. Kimarhi dodged, as Wakka used his arm brace to block the bolts. Tidus got hit in the right side and one in the right shoulder, which caused him to wince in pain and lose his balance. Rikku was nicked in the hand dodging the bolts. Lulu used the spell Blizzaga to make a wall of ice to seal off the area from the other two hell riders but also was hit in the right shoulder in the process. Yuna was hit by one of the bolts but it hit the shoulder of the blouse and not her body and pinned her against the wall.
"Yuna," Tidus yelled as the Rider ran at her with its sword held high. Yuna struggled against her blouse but it finally ripped causing her to fall forward and the riders sword hit the wall where she was. The rider turned to Yuna who had scared look in her eyes and stood over her. He twisted his sword so it was pointing down at her and went forward but a blitz ball hit the rider's hands causing him to miss Yuna and drives his sword in the ground. The rider let go of his sword and wrapped his hands around her neck and started to choke Yuna. Lulu was going to cast a spell but she was worried about hitting Yuna but everyone worries came to rest as Tidus kicked the rider hard knocking him away from Yuna. Tidus fell forward from the pain that the bolts inflicted on his body. The rider stood up but was then burned to a crisped by Lulu's firaga. They all turned to Auron who already slained the Fang while the gang was killing the rider.
"Wakka get Tidus and lets get going," Auron said.
"Okay," Wakka said as he carefully picked Tidus up without bumping the bolts still stuck in him.
"Shouldn't we take those out," Yuna asked Auron.
"Don't have time, those riders will be through that Ice wall in no time. We must keep moving," Auron said and started to limp away.
"Auron your hurt," Rikku said as she noticed the scratches from the fangs claws all over his body.
"I will be fine," Auron said as he kept limping down the hall. Kimarhi helped the injured Lulu down the hall way with the group.
--------------------------------
Later on when Seymour and his army of Yevonites came walking into the underground and searched for the traitors.
"Everyone is dead," reported one of the men.
"Are the traitors here," Seymour asked.
"No sign yet sir," the man said. Seymour looked at the man and raised his hand to smack him across the room but another soldier called for Seymour's attention.
"Sir we found which way they went," the soldier called and Seymour went to where the man found the Ice wall.
"Damn that black mage," Seymour said as he put his hand against the wall.
"Firaga," he said and the ice melted instantly. The soldiers all got wide eyed when they saw the rider and the Fang dead on the ground.
"What in Yevon is that" said one soldier. Seymour only smiled.
"We have a knew beast that the Al Bhed have created. It must have gotten loose and went on rampage," Seymour said lying through his teeth.
"Shall we follow them," asked one soldier.
"No there might be more of those beasts around here," Seymour said.
"Evacuate now," he yelled and everyone left. Seymour started to follow but turned around.
"Search for them my pets," he said as the other two Hell Riders appeared from the shadows and went on down the passageway.
-------------------------------------------------------
Near an entrance to cave in the woods of the North Shore of Moonflow, we find Yuna and the others sitting taking a rest.
"We help the injured and rest for a bit but we then got to keep moving. No telling when those riders will come," Auron said as he sat down inside the cave. Wakka set Tidus down as Kimarhi came over.
"Yuna, heal boy after Kimarhi yanks out bolts," Kimarhi said to Yuna. She nodded as Kimarhi reached down and pulled the bolt of out his shoulder. Tidus screamed loudly but it was muffled when Auron put his hand over his mouth.
"We can't let him scream like that," Auron said.
"They will find us in no time," he said after. Kimarhi nodded and proceeded to pull the other bolt out of his side. Tidus muffled screamed in agony as the bolt was torn out. Auron moved his hand from Tidus mouth. Yuna bandaged Tidus wounds and gave him a healing potion to drink. Kimarhi went on to the next victim, which was Lulu. Lulu gave one look at the ronso.
"You touch me and I'll cast all my black magic spells on you," she said and then reached up and pulled the bolt out herself. She was about to let out a scream of pain but Wakka quickly put his hand over her mouth.
"Relax, Lu," Wakka said letting go over her mouth after she was done screaming. Rikku wrapped her wound in a bandage and gave her a healing potion. Yuna then noticed Rikku's hand was injured and bandaged it up for her.
"Thanks," Rikku said with a smile and walked over to Auron. Auron looked at her.
"I'll be fine," he said.
"Awe quit being a sour chocobo and let me help you," Rikku said as she started to wrap Aurons claw wounds. Auron was about to protest but noticed something different about Rikku.
"That's something I never noticed before," Auron said to himself. Rikku looked up and smiled at him.
"Those eyes...," Auron said but felt pain to bring him out of his trance.
"Hey watch it," Auron said as Rikku tightened the bandage around his leg.
"Sorry," Rikku said with a sad look in her face. Auron couldn't bare it.
"Its okay, just not so tight next time and thanks," Auron said to her. Rikku quickly smiled and gave Auron a hug. Auron was surprised a bit by this but sort of embrace her with one arm but let go as soon as she did. Rikku went over to check on Yuna.
"Did you get hit, Yunie," Rikku asked looking at the tear in her blouse.
"No, thanks for asking," Yuna said as she watched Tidus slowly fall asleep.
"Sleep my darling," Yuna said softly as she lay down beside him. Rikku took the hint and walked away. She was going to walk over to Lulu and Wakka but Lulu was fast asleep against Wakka who was asleep against a wall. Kimarhi was standing guard out front of the cave and she really feared him. Auron was sitting guard in the cave where they came out of and thought to take her chances with him. She walked up and sat down beside him. Auron turned to see her beside him and then looked back down the cave. The next thing Auron knew was something leaned against him. He looked down to find Rikku against his side asleep.
"Well this is awkward," Auron said not knowing what to do.
"The hell with it," Auron said to himself and wrapped his arm around her to keep her warm. A smile came across Rikku's face as she felt Aurons arm come across her.
"Thank You," Rikku said softly in her sleep.
-------------------------------------------------
A/n: This is a little better and I remember saying something about an idea from one of earlier chapters with the situation of the horses and chocobos. Well I revealed the Hell Riders, possessed Yevonite soldiers that ride the wolves called Fangs. Anyways thanks for the feed backs from all you people and keep reviewing. Thank you again.
