The Farplane Elixir
"What is that?" yelled Yuna.
" It's sucking us in!" screamed Lulu.
And she was right for as they spoke the vortex of darkness was pulling them in.
By now the rest of the crowd had evacuated the stadium.
" Kimarhi know what to do" spoke the Ronzo.
Using all of his strength, Kimarhi used a new Ronzo Rage that he had learned while fighting Sin.
" GRAVIJA," he yelled.
Using the forces of gravity, the party was pushed away from the vortex.
" Oh, no you don't" said a familiar girly voice in the vortex.
"DISPELL!"
Instantly, the gravity spell vanished, and the darkest depths of the black hole swallowed the party.

Meanwhile, on the Mihen Highroad, a boy walked south down the path silently.
He could have rented a chocabo but he had decided to walk instead.
He was a boy of his mid teens (About Rikku's age).
He had on long cargo pants and a sleeve-less shirt.
He wore a deep-blue robe over it all.
He was tall and thin.
On his right arm, he had a long gash, and on his other, he wore a tattoo that beared a mysterious symbol.
His face was almost entirely covered with a silk cloth wrapped around his neck and jaw covering his mouth and nose.
He also wore a fisherman's hat, which almost completely concealed his eyes that were hidden behind the reflected lenses of his dark sunglasses.
On his left hand, he wore a white ring with angel wings sprouting from the top.
He had trained many years for this day, and now, it had finally come.
The youth headed for Luca.
-
"Where are we?" cried Rikku.
The group had fallen for what seemed like hours through darkness and had finally landed on solid ground.
"Allow me to answer that for you," said the familiar voice again.
Suddenly, statues lining the walls of the black room lit up.
"Welcome to the Bajj Temple!"
"Who are you?" yelled Tidus. "Show yourself, coward!"
"Very well then," boomed the voice.
"SPIRITS OF DARKNESS, SHOW THEE THY PHYSICAL FORM!"
Slowly, out of the statues lining the walls, black insects flew in front of the room of the faith.
Yuna then realized they weren't insects, they were dark pyreflys!
The pyreflys flew together and in a flash, they were gone.
In their place stood a man that sent chills down their spines.
There, before them, stood the treacherous Lord Seymour Guado!
-
The boy walked through the Luca Square.
He kept to himself and ignored the street merchants calling out to him.
He just kept walking.
He had traveled far to get here, from worlds, regions, and cities. The boy was an orphan.
He shared many common traits from his parents, his father for the most part.
There was only one trait he had no inherited from his parents.
The youth was an Emrys.
-
"You!" yelled Wakka.
"Yes, I have returned," replied the former maester.
Tidus then whipped out Calabolg and ran up and swung at Seymour.
His sword only went through him.
"Looks like you cannot defeat me this time," said Seymour.
"How did you escape the Farplane," demanded Yuna?
"Simple," replied Seymour with a smirk.
"I escaped that otherworld prison with the power of the Farplane Elixir.
It is said that those that have a pure heart, those that have never committed disrespect to the teachings in their entire life, and die valiantly and sent to the Farplane are given a holy substance called the Farplane Elixir.
It gives them the power to return to Spira as a faith to live immortally a long as they choose.
I didn't receive the gift.
I didn't even know about it until an ally tipped me off.
I then stole the tonic from a spirit and I was allowed to return.
I have your old friend Sir Auron to thank for that, for it would have taken me even longer to find another soal to steal it from."
"How dare you take that from Auron," cried Tidus.
"Who's the bastard that tipped you off about the elixir?" he asked.
Seymour smiled as if he expected the question. "Why none other than Mi Yevon herself, but even daring to insult her only shows your stupidity."
"WHO," they all said together?
Seymour replied, " She is the sister of Yu Yevon, his alter-ego.
While her brother served and controlled the powers of evil, she controlled the powers of light.
Though she was stronger in power, she was weak in the mind. It was vis-versa with Yu Yevon.
After you defeated his physical form, his spiritual form possessed his sister.
Now Mi Yevon is indestructible and I serve her."
"You won't get away with this," cried Yuna.
"We will defeat you and Mi Yevon."
Seymour sneered, "Oh really, well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you'll have to do better than that.
While in the Farplane, I gathered several of the most powerful final aeons.
An Al Bhed aeon, a Ronzo, Yunalesca's final aeon, your good friend, Omega, and I myself have become an aeon of the Guado.
I also had them all brainwashed so that they may serve Mi Yevon without second thoughts."
The party was stunned.
Finally Tidus yelled, " Let's jump em!"
"Yuna, try the aeons!" yelled Wakka.
Wakka, Tidus, Kimarhi, and Rikku pelted him with physical attacks, Lulu casted Ultima over and over again, and Yuna summoned the Magus Sisters.
Seymour just smiled as the physical attacks sunk through him and he then casted reflect on himself and banished the aeons.
"Now, it's my turn," he said.
-
The boy now stood before the Luca Stadium.
He was now at his destination point.
"Don't go in there," said the ticket lady. "There is evil work happening in there."
The boy turned to her and in a deep muffled voice, he said, "Then I've come to the right place"
Author's note: Well there you go. I put more action than in the first chapter, like I promised. I also left you at a cliffhanger, which I love to do in my stories. I'll write the next part as soon as I can. Hope that you like the story. I promise you that it gets much better. -
