Chapter 11: The Monster
As we walked a little farther into the Jungle we ran into a very long staircase.
"Please, do be careful on your journey." Some lady said "There are feinds everywhere in areas that sin attacked"
We only walked to the second level of the staircase
"These stone steps have a history, you know?" said Niko
I looked up and the stairs went on forever.
"Yep, Lord Ohalland trained here at his peek" Niko said
"Wanna race Tidus, Niko?" Asked Wakka
"Think you can beat me?" asked Tidus
Wakka, Niko and Tidus got in a line.
"Sandra, if you would" Niko said getting ready to race
I went beside the three of them and put my arm in the air "Ready?" I said I suddenly just took off running up the steps like I was cheating.
"Hey, Hey!" Said Niko following Sandra with wakka and Tidus running behind him.
"kids…." Said lulu Laughing
As soon as we got up to the very top of the stair base. There was another plant fiend but this one was much scarier.
"Everyone, quick! Sinspawn!" Yelled Niko
Lulu came running but she stood back with Niko
"Stand back!" yelled Alice and I to Niko and Lulu
Wakka ran in front of Alice and Tidus ran in front of me
"Let us handle this one" said Tidus Holding his long, sharp sword out.
Suddenly without warning the plant smacked Wakka right in the face and he flew backwards almost falling of the high steps. Alice ran to help him up
"Tidus, Watch out!" yelled wakka
Tidus then turned his head and the plant was throwing out his poison but he ducked in time.
I then cast fire on tidus's sword. The sword burst in flames
"Whoa!" he said "Thanks Sandra"
"Hurry, strike it" I yelled
Tidus ran and jumped at the fearless plant and struck it very hard. The plant completely split in half and green mist came out of its body. It slowly disappeared
Tidus put his hands on his knees I ran up to him and leaned against his side to see if he was ok.
"Yeesh!" He said
"Sorry about that!" said Niko
"It was nothing" Tidus replied "as long as the Black mage is okay"
I smiled sweetly
"Hey Great fighting there" said wakka limping
"Here let me heal you" said Alice
Wakka sat down and Alice put her hand wakkas knee and a bright light covered his leg and he was completely healed
"Being a guardian is tiring" said Wakka
"Yeah, harder then I expected" Tidus added
"You handle yourselves pretty well." Said Niko "You got talent"
"Nah" tidus said
"So what are these "sinspawn" anyways?" I asked
"Fiends, they fall from sins body and are left behind in its wake" Replied Lulu
"Leave 'em alone and sin comes back for 'em" said Niko "You gotta be quick"
I grabbed tidus's hands and we all walked to the temple.
"So, uh….they got fiends in Midgar, too?" Niko Asked
"Just a few, it's a big deal when one shows up though" I said
"Same here" said Alice "My city was called Alexandria. It's a huge place but it's so crowed and its pretty much a bug deal when someone sees a fiend"
"I have been thinking" Said Niko "It's weird how Sin just takes people into the future, you know? One thousand years into the future"
"Amazing, Simply amazing" Said Lulu as she put her hand on her forehead
Niko looked at Lulu as Lulu looked ay him
"You make up one theory after another, refusing to face the simple truth. It's pointless to think about it, and sad" Replied Lulu
Niko, Lulu. Something happened between them long time ago. I am sure of it. Well whatever it was it was none of my business, that's for sure of it. Best not to go there.
We finally were there, Kilika Temple. It was so big and beautiful. People were there talking and whispering people.
Suddenly the Temple door opened and three men in matching, purple, team, uniforms stepped right in front of Niko
"You here to pray for victory, too?" asked Niko
"Us? Pray? Who needs to pray? The Luca Goers always win!" The leader bragged
"Oh, yeah? Then why are you here?" Niko asked
"We've been praying for some competition this year!" The leader replied "So, what's your goal this time? You gonna to do your best? Ha! It's too bad your best isn't good enough! Why even bother showing up?"
"This time they play to win!" I yelled
"Ooh! Play to away!"
"Hey, don't talk to her like that!" yelled Tidus
"Yeah!' Alice said backing Tidus up
"Hey, just remember even kids can play boys!" said the leader
"See you in the finals" Niko said as they walked away
"We'll beat them, we have to!" Tidus said quietly
"And you will, don't worry" I said encouraging him
"Thanks Sandra" He said while he hugged me. "Come on lets go into the temple now"
he put his hand around my waist and we walked into the temple
Inside that temple was so fascinating there were statues of the old heroes. People were praying at the big statues hoping there wantings would come to them and help them with there problems.
