Chapter 3: The Figure
Eriks leadignlady- Yeah, thanks, didn't realize I made soooooo many errors; I'm usually good with not doing stuff like that, probly cuz I type slowly, so I didn't proof read and don't worry I checked this one as I typed so I hope I didn't miss any errors. I'm really glad you like it!
Yuna and Rikku were discussing what they had witnessed on the sphere and compared it to what they knew from three years ago. Paine sat off in a dark corner blocking out all of the talk between the two cousins. Shinra typed away at his computer thinking and formulating new inventions. Buddy sat at his chair scanning Spira for any signs of sphere waves or anything out of the ordinary. Brother was asleep at the helm, snoring noisily.
Yuna and Rikku were immersed in conversation through the wonderful sunset. "Yunalesca was a hero before she defeated Sin. She even saved Zanarkand from Bevelle. So dose this mean she wasn't a bad person till she sacrificed herself to defeat sin?" Rikku's hyper voice echoed throughout the bridge.
"I guess so." Yuna's low voice rang through Rikku's ears. "I think anyone would go mad if they had to sacrifice their loved one for the final Aeon and then get killed by it and have Sin come back after the calm."
"You're right Yunie, anyone would!"
"I'm sorry to interrupt you two but we are receiving a distress call from Tromell. He says that some fiends have been coming out of the farplane. He calls for our aid in his time of need as the leader of the Guado and as a friend. Will we go?" Buddy gazed back at Yuna and Rikku.
"Shall we go?" Paine queried.
Rikku nodded to Yuna. "Let's go!" Yuna shouted throughout the bridge waking Brother from his sweet slumber.
"Right, on it." The Celsius took off towards Guadosalam to Tromell's aid.
The Gullwings arrived at Guadosalam in about a half hour. They walked into the town to find that some of the homes and shops had been attacked. No Guado could be seen on the few streets of the Guado homeland. So Yuna and the others strolled over to what had been Seymour's palace three years ago and then the HQ of the Leblanc syndicate a year ago. Now it had a new master, Tromell, the leader of the Guado, after reassuring from Yuna, Rikku and Paine about a year ago.
The Gullwings waltzed up to Tromell's home and knocked on the large red door. A voice came from behind the door. "Who is it?" It queried.
"It's the Surging Flapping Neighboring Gullwings!" Brother struck a queer pose, as he dose often. Buddy struck Brother in the back of the head knocking him to the doorstep.
"Its us!" Rikku bounced on her heels smiling.
The large red door opened slowly revealing an old Guado with green hair and the traditional huge hands. "Lady Yuna, what a delight to see you again." Tromell said slowly as he always dose.
Rikku pawed at the air. "Don't forget about us!"
Tromell turned to face the frenzied Rikku. "Forgive me. A pleasure seeing you again Miss Rikku and Miss Paine." He nodded to both. "Excuse my poor manners come in, come in." The Gullwings entered the strange home of Tromell into the hall of Guado leaders past. A harmonious melody floated through the empty home of Tromell.
The fuzzy portraits of the past leaders of the Guado rested upon the wall. Rikku gazed around and stopped on one of the portraits. Her swirled green narrowed and she stuck her tongue out for a moment. It was none other than Seymour's portrait with his trademark sinister grin painted upon his snickering visage.
Tromell noted Rikku's reaction to his former lord's portrait. "Please Miss Rikku do not show any disrespect to a former leader in my home. Although he was evil at heart he still brought peace to us Guado the short time he was a Maester of Yevon." Tromell continued onwards and showed his quests to the gathering hall where they would speak.
When they entered the hall with the two long tables on the flanks of the room and the huge circular one in the middle with the mass of plants on it. 'The same plants still here' Rikku thought as she gazed upon the middle table. 'What do they never die?'
Tromell pivoted on heels to face his guests. "You are already aware of why you are here. It's because there have been some strange events taking place with the farplane. Fiends have been spouting out of the farplane and yet we cannot figure out how or why this is happening. That is why I informed you of our situation because I know you are used to dealing with these types of situations." He turned away from his guests and let out a long sigh.
Rikku went up in front of Tromell. "Don't worry Tromell, the Gullwings are on the case!" Her spunky attitude affected Tromell, somehow.
"Oh, thank you Miss Rikku and you all." Tromell exclaimed in his most happy voice any of them had ever heard, and yet it was still low and peaceful as always.
"No problem." Buddy affirmed.
Yuna faced Paine she nodded. "Right! Let's do it!"
Brother started up another pose. "Sur..." Buddy struck him over the head again; almost sending him threw the middle table.
The Gullwings were escorted out By Tromell into the forsaken streets of Guadosalam. Tromell called to Yuna, as they were heading up the road to the farplane entrance. "Lady Yuna." She stopped and strode back to the old Guado. "Here take this." He handed her a small orange orb. "I found this a while back, about three months ago near the door to the farplane after the fiends began to come out."
Yuna looked upon the orange orb, it faintly glowed. "Oh…thank you Tromell." She gazed back to the old Guado.
"My pleasure ma Lady." He smiled as Yuna slid the orange orb into one of her pouches. She turned and ran off to the rest of her group at the entrance to the farplane.
Rikku meet her cousin. "What ya get?"
Yuna pulled out the orange orb that Tromell just gave her. "This sphere." She slipped it back into her pouch.
"Another score for the Gullwings." Buddy remarked.
Yuna walked past her four friends and up to the entrance to the farplane. "Let's go!" Her friends followed her hastily.
Brother and Buddy pushed open the doors like the good gentlemen they are. Yuna, Rikku, and Paine walked past the two doormen. "Thanks guys." Yuna thanked them. "Yeah." Rikku stated. Brother looked down, although he was pleasing the one he longed for. Buddy nodded and let the door slid shut after them.
Rikku broke the still silence on their way up the two flights of stairs. "Wonder how the fiends are getting through? Maybe it's like two years ago. What do you think Yunie?" She turned to her cousin.
"Maybe…"
The silence continued on after than as they continued to ascend the flights of stairs. The barrier between the farplane and the mortal realm was up in its bluish glory. The Gullwings walked through the bubbly barrier into the vast farplane. The platform that hovered in the center stood there with its brownish stalagmites etched around the edge of the platform. Below, vast fields of multicolored flowers mixed with pyreflies waved in the soothing breeze. A massive waterfall splashed down upon the brown boulders at its base. A bright yellow orange sun sat high in the sky casting a shadow on the objects at the base of the colossal waterfall. Pyreflies danced harmoniously as far as the eye could see.
Even though Yuna was here three years ago she still let out a gasp at the marvelous sight. Rikku, being her first time in the farplane because she refused to go in three years ago, gazed around in wonder at the many spectacles. Brother and Buddy followed Rikku's reaction.
Pyreflies began to swirl around the Gullwings. They all gazed at the pyreflies as they entwined around each member. Then the pyreflies rushed away and began to change their movements from harmonious to sporadic. Forms began to manifest in front of the dazzled Gullwings. The shades dispersed revealing fiends encircling the companions.
Buddy and Brother whom came unarmed, for some reason, backed up away from the manifesting fiends. Their backs brushed up against something rigid, sharp and chill. They leapt around away from the object. It was a short fiend that looked like a blue ball with ice sickles jutting out from its back. The fiend unwrapped its fat arms from around its rock hard body. It ran at Brother and Buddy as they fled towards Yuna, Rikku and Paine.
Paine faced the tough shelled ice fiend with a cold, dark stare. She rushed up to it dragging her skull sword along the dusty ground. Her sword sliced through the fiend's rough hide and flew into the air, splattering a bit of purple colored blood before bursting into pyreflies. With already being in the farplane the pyreflies stayed around the Gullwings, taunting them with every dip and dive in their harmonious flight.
A small, nimble lizard like fiend crept up on Rikku as she was fighting with another fiend. It leapt upon her back, latching onto her with its barbed legs. She let out a small cry of pain as she franticly shook the fiend off. Her orange and yellow daggers flashed through the disturbed air into the fiend's supple stomach. It also burst into pyreflies as the fiend that Paine slew did.
Yuna was being assailed by a multitude of flying fiends. They plunged upon her as her pistols blazed firing her deadly bullets into their lean wings. The light bird fiends fell to the hard brownish ground and bounced about a foot or so off the ground before steadying upon it. She ran over to the aid of Buddy and Brother who were being assaulted by a pack of wolf like fiends.
Paine was dealing with a large komodo dragon like fiend. All of her blows were being deflected aside cutting through the air. She brought her skull blade down from the right diagonally leaving a slight gash in the fiend's protective scales. The fiend charged at her and smacked her with the full brunt of a tackle. It sent her sliding on her heels a few feet backwards before she regained her balance. She charged the fiend as it attempted to ram her again. It missed and she dug her blade into the minute gash she had left in its side. The fiend let out a terrible cry of pain as Paine's jagged blade sunk into its soft flesh beneath its rough hide. The fiend fell to the ground and burst into pyreflies whiling around the platform.
Rikku was fighting off hordes of slender and agile lizard fiends near the edge of the platform. She sent many of them off the edge of the craggy platform into the endless fields of numerous colored flowers. One fiend latched itself onto Rikku and knocked her on her back. She flailed around on the ground trying to shake off the light weighted fiend but it was in vain. The fiend pricked her with a poisonous tooth before she sent it soaring over the rim. She quickly reached into one of her few pouches and drew out a small test tube corked with a green stopper. She hastily drank down the nasty tasting fluid releasing her from toxin.
More and more fiends gather onto the small platform over looking the endless fields of flowers and the majestic waterfall. The Gullwings were ensnared in different spots of it in pockets of fiends. They had no way of helping out each other and soon fell prey to their various weaknesses. Buddy and Brother managed to escape the hordes of fiends but they couldn't just leave so they rushed to the weapon shop outside of the farplane in Guadosalam and bought a few weapons. Brother grabbed a slender yet sturdy spear and rushed back to help out the others. Buddy picked a sword with lighting etched into the blade and hastily ran back to support his friends.
When Brother and Buddy passed through the barrier separating the mortal realm from that of the farplane five fiends jumped them. They quickly fought them off and began to trudge through the crowds of fiends towards the fighting forms of their three friends. A fiend was about to impale Yuna in the back when Brother got to her. He jammed his spear tip into its flesh and stopped its blow. He tossed the fiend aside as it burst into pyreflies in mid toss. Yuna thanked him with a friendly nod as another fiend jumped upon her. She wrestled with it till she got a clear shot at its neck and fired a succession of heated bullets. The fiend lay limp upon her for a moment before dematerializing into the harmonious pyreflies.
Buddy approached Rikku as he wadded through the masses of fiends cutting them aside with ease. She was in a duel with a rather large fiend that looked like a yeti with four arms and purple fur. The yeti fiend swung its destructive arms at the agile Rikku missing her and pummeling the rigid platform. Buddy approached it from behind after it lashed out at Rikku and crawled onto it back grasping its purple fur. They fiend twirled around and attempted to grab and throw its attacker off. Before it grasped Buddy and hurled him through the sea of fiends he struck the in the head as a small lighting bolt shocked it. He landed against a stalagmite snapping off the tip and fell almost impaling him.
Paine was alone in her efforts to defend herself from the overwhelming odds. She only suffered minor wounds throughout her battles fighting her way to Rikku. A medium sized bird fiend swooped down upon her and grasped her shoulders in its massive talons. She swung her blade at the fiend's legs in an attempt to loosen its grip on her. She cut its leg up with a few slashes but nothing to critical. The fiend's talons released her sending her plummeting towards the sea of fiends. As she fell she noted that there was a stalagmite in her path of falling. She stretched out her arms with her sword in her two hands and waited. The blade caught the tip of the rock and she pushed herself to the side. She tumbled as she hit the ground, but that's a lot better than getting impaled.
Brother was fighting off fiends as Yuna fired her dual pistols from behind his protection. They were forced up against the rim of the platform and were fighting gallantly. A small lizard fiend leapt at the two while they were distracted with the various other fiends assailing them. Brother noticed the fiend jumping at them and moved his spear to stick it but the fiend landed on the end of his spear and ran down it. The fiend latched onto his face with its barbed feet and stuck him in the forehead. Brother let out an intense cry of pain as Yuna shot the fiend off of her protector's face.
Yuna was helpless to aid Brother as he slid to the floor with toxins flowing through his blood. She gazed around franticly to find her friends for aid but they were immersed in battle. Buddy was laying upon the ground in pain as fiends began to creep up on him. Paine was caught up in the fight with Rikku against the purple yeti.
They were having difficulty slaying the massive fiend as it gave Paine a commanding blow in the side sending her soaring across the platform of rock. She slammed into a huge wasp looking fiend and pinned it to the ground as she fell through the air. Rikku flashed her two orange and yellow daggers in the fiend's flesh but to no avail. She evaded the massive blows of the amethyst fiend and ran up one of its four arms and perched herself upon its head. She franticly knifed the fiend's head in an attempt to stop its onslaught. The fiend bellowed and went berserk into the sea of fiends with its massive arms and fists smashing into the frail fiends splattering them on the spot dousing Rikku's tanned skin in a small film of blood.
Rikku rode the rampaging fiend through the endless tides of small fiends. She reached a point where she could see her cousin fighting off countless fiends with her two blazing pistols. Rikku's gaze met her Brother's who was upon the ground in pain. She threw an antidote to her incapacitated brother as the brutal fiend thundered past. He grasped the slender vial and popped the plug. He chugged down the antidote and then sprung to his feet to help the one he loved.
Ten fiends were overwhelming Yuna. She had suffered many cuts and scrapes along her smooth skin. Small droplets of crimson blood trickled down from the slender cuts along her thighs. A fiend was about to bite Yuna's right arm as a spear tip burst through its chest conveying a small amount of blood on Yuna's face. She brushed the blood onto her left arm and then onto her half dress.
Brother smiled at Yuna and she smiled back mouthing the words 'thank you'. A fiend tackled Brother in the legs knocking him to the ground in an instant. Yuna fired a few shots into the attacking fiend and it fell over, pyreflies leaking out of the holes made by the bullets. She ran over to Brother and outstretched a hand; he grabbed it and was yanked up. He spun around with his spear in hand sweeping along the ground. He tripped a few fiends as they came running over to the distracted duo. Then he impaled them, as they lay helpless on the ground.
Rikku held on with all her might as the purple furred yeti like fiend thrashed about. She continued to knife the fiend in the skull. The fiend would not go down it just kept rampaging around the platform wildly. The fiend eventually found its way over to the edge of the platform. Rikku stabbed it one last time before she flipped off and landed behind it as it walked off the cliff. Immediately after that fiend fell Rikku was assaulted by a pack of wolf like fiends. She easily cut them aside and ran off the find Yuna and the others.
Paine was still upon the floor, motionless, as fiends approached her. The fiends were about to feast on her flesh but they burst into pyreflies. They swirled around and went to the center of the platform and gathered. The rest of the fiends did the same thing bursting and floating into the center to form a giant ball of pyreflies. They entwined in each other and began to glow in a fait yellow gleam. The gleam spread throughout the farplane and blinded the Gullwings.
A figure emerged from the golden beam of light. The figure was clad in a blue shirt with red in the middle. Off white pants fluttered in the faint wind of the farplane. A bird mask was set upon the figure's visage. The figure just floated two feet off the ground for some time before a barking sound called through the silence. An orange and cream furred dog ran up beside the hovering figure. The figure came to rest upon the ground and stroked the orange dog on the head.
The figure then turned to the Gullwings, who were all together now. "You cannot be here. Now leave." The figure's arrogant voice rang throughout the entire farplane. "Or I will force you to stay here for all eternity if you wish." Pyreflies leaked around him as he spoke.
Brother stepped forward with his spear out thrust towards the figure. Buddy followed Brother's action with his sword drawn at his side. Rikku leap into place behind them with her daggers crossed. Paine stepped next to Buddy in formation. Yuna stood there lost in contemplation. 'Why? How can this be? It's just like a year ago only why have they come back? Why are you doing this!'
"Yunie! Yunie!" Rikku called to her cousin. "Ready? C'mon we gotta fight him."
Yuna faced her cousin. "Doesn't he seem familiar to you?" She queried.
"Nope!"
Yuna put a hand up to her chin. 'That's right. Only he was there with me when I called upon the fayth for Yojimbo. She couldn't know'. "He's a fayth." Her voice was low and shattered.
"For which Aeon?" Paine questioned.
The figure was obviously pissed at his enemies' conversation and shouted, "I am Yojimbo the samurai phoenix!" He transformed into his Aeon state, his words becoming sinister.
Brother and Buddy gawked at the sight of the Aeon, for they never saw one before. Yuna, Rikku, and Paine stepped past the temporarily out of action Buddy and Brother. "Why have you come back?" Yuna shouted at Yojimbo.
He snickered. "I have my orders form my master." He replied.
Yojimbo drew his sword out or its black leather sheath and held it in front of his face. He waved his hand in a taunt before charging the five companions. His sword barreled down upon Rikku. She crossed her daggers and held them in the path of Yojimbo's katana. The katana rang off the daggers as they were ensnared between the two. Rikku twisted them to lock Yojimbo's sword in her daggers. She held on to them with all her might while Yojimbo yanked his sword up. His movement lifted Rikku into the soundless air with ease. He grinned and flicked his blade to his side sending Rikku flying through the air. She slid along the dusty ground to the edge of the platform then off. She gasped the edge and attempted to pull herself up she could not. She hung there waiting for one of her friends to come to her rescue.
Brother charged the phoenix with his spear. He successfully stuck its tip into Yojimbo's heart, or where it would be if he had one. He snickered an arrogant laugh as he dug around in his kimono. He produced three throwing daggers and flicked them in his fingers. He pulled back his arm and threw the three deadly objects at Brother. Brother attempted to dodge them but as they came down upon him a strange bluish shield sprung up and deflected them.
Yuna smiled. She had cast an item on Brother that set up mighty guard. "Got that from Shinra! You can thank him latter!" She yelled to the amazed Brother.
Yojimbo cast his arm into Brother pushing him back a few feet but not doing what he thought it would. Buddy ran up next to his friend and blocked an oncoming strike form Yojimbo's katana. A small surge of electricity conveyed up the katana and shocked the Aeon. He let out a command and his former little fluffy dog came charging up behind him and leapt at Buddy's right arm. The dog's fangs sunk into the flesh of Buddy's arm. Pain shot up into his brain causing him to go crazy and punch rapidity at the latched on dog. The dog let go and found its way to its master's side.
Yuna raised one of her pistols in a steady hand to Yojimbo's head. The trigger was pulled and a violent shot hurtled towards the phoenix samurai's head. He lifted his katana up to his face as the bullet came closer and closer. A ringing sound echoed form the blade near the finger guard. 'The bullet was deflected!' Yuna thought.
Yojimbo brought his sword down upon Brother. Paine stopped the blow right above Brother's quivering skull. She forced the blade up and to the side away from everyone. Brother took another stab at the phoenix, this time in the stomach. Pyreflies began to leak from the point of entry as Brother lifted his spear up through Yojimbo's entire body. From his stomach up Yojimbo began to split apart. Then pyreflies came from all around and began to shine in the wounds. The two halves of his body began to stitch themselves back together slowly.
After he was back together Yojimbo let out a giant laugh. "Hahahaha! Pathetic mortals you cannot kill a phoenix with mere child's play!"
He swiped Brother, Paine and Buddy away from him and put left hand near his face, his fingers were partially bent. He bowed his head and sort of hovered his hand in front of his face. The ground in front of him opened up into a deep black portal. A massive sword came from the gap dressed in a purple sheath. He clutched it and tilted it on its side slowly wrapping his right hand fingers around the hilt. He then cast to sheath aside with a loud echoing sound.
"My ultimate weapon." He stated in his arrogant voice.
Yojimbo charged Brother with his newly acquired weapon. He brought the sword down upon the spear from an angle. The spear shaft split in twain and slid away. Brother was stunned and was paralyzed with fear. Yojimbo took up his katana and jabbed it at Brother's stomach. A blade with a skull near the hilt caught Yojimbo's blow and held it in position. He pulled is katana away and dragged his massive sword up along the ground on his right side. Paine leapt away from the blow while hurling Brother with her.
Rikku finally heaved herself up over the rim of the platform. She rushed up behind the distracted phoenix samurai with her daggers ready. Yojimbo spun around and brought is katana down upon Rikku. She evaded the blade but a sharp pain rushed up from her foot. She collapsed from the pain in a huddled ball gasping her bleeding foot. Yojimbo walked over to the helpless Rikku. He raised his massive sword over his head with one hand and dropped it on her.
A shot rang throughout the farplane that clanged into Yojimbo's colossal sword sending him off balance in mid swing. He regained balance by sticking the tip of his blade into the ground on his left side. He faced Yuna with an annoyed gaze. He rushed her with both swords drawn. Metal on metal sounded as Yuna opened her eyes to see Buddy standing there holding up the two swords of Yojimbo with his single sword. His body was quivering under the intense pressure of the blow. Another small bolt of lighting shot up through the two blades and caused the phoenix to relinquish his attack.
Brother was useless for fighting so he ran over to his sister and helped heal and comfort her. The gash on Rikku's foot wasn't deep but it was damaging enough to prevent her from walking. Brother lifted her up and hobbled her over near the barrier of the farplane. He set her down out of the range of attack and stood there like a sentinel. Rikku was glad that her brother still cared about her because he always wanted to help Yuna instead of her and tensions between the two raised over the years.
Paine ran in from Yojimbo's back and stabbed him through the head. Pyreflies began to come to reform the wound. He brushed Paine aside with a single swipe of his arm. She was knocked into a boulder and was knocked unconscious. Only Yuna and Buddy remained to fight the seemingly unstoppable samurai phoenix.
Buddy was the only one that seemed to have any effect on Yojimbo. He lashed out at the samurai with all his might. The phoenix sword master blocked blow after blow but the electricity still transmitted into his body. He shook of electric shock after electric shock a continued his superior blocking abilities. The lighting shocks didn't seam to do much to the invulnerable Aeon just made him annoyed. He finally retaliated with his katana and smashed it into Buddy's side. His wind was knocked clear out of him by the blow. His mind started to race and go into a panic as he gasped for air. His knees buckled and he dropped to the floor.
Yuna realized she was the only one left to fight the unstoppable force of Yojimbo. She fired bullets etched with lighting from her pistols into the Aeon's head. The bullets hurtled through his head and popped out the other side dropping to the ground. Yuna backed up from the samurai and soon found herself at the rim of the suspended platform. Yojimbo slowly strode over to the defenseless gunner striking fear in her.
Yojimbo stuck his two swords out to either side and held them for a minute. Then he brought them together on the vulnerable Yuna. At the last second the blades flipped to the flat side of the swords and struck her in both sides. She collapsed to her hands and knees gasping for air. Her vision clouded over and she couldn't see a thing except the outline of the one who had struck her. Her arms and legs shook with tremendous pain and finally gave way. As soon as she hit the floor she lost consciousness.
Yojimbo walked over to the incapacitated gunner near the rim on the platform. He raised his sword above Yuna's body. Little splotches of pain shot along his back as he turned to see Brother beating upon him with his fists. The samurai grasped Brother around his neck with his cold strong fingers raising him into the air. Then he dropped him to the ground and kicked him with a muscular kick out of the barrier and down the two flights of stairs outside the farplane barrier.
A strange black hand etched in pyreflies came up over the edge and grasped onto a rock. Another of the mysterious hands shot up and grasped the same rock. It hurled it self up and revealed an entire human like figure standing near Yuna. A sword was held in a sturdy grasp in its right hand. It strolled over next to Yuna and picked up one of her pistols cast on the floor. The figure then continued to walk up behind the distracted Yojimbo.
The mysterious figure slashed with its hooked sword at the samurai's legs. Yojimbo let out a cry of pain and pivoted on his heels to face his new challenger. The pistol the figure held began to become black and shade like with pyreflies flying around it. He aimed the gun at Yojimbo's face and pulled the trigger emptying a blazing bullet into the phoenix's head. Yojimbo let out a horrific cry as the heated bullet embedded itself in his forehead.
The strange figure assaulted the wounded samurai phoenix with its shady sword. Yojimbo blocked every blow that the shady figure unleashed on him. The phoenix couldn't keep up with the figure after two minuets and began to suffer critical wounds. A slash to the torso sent Yojimbo into a frenzy as he lashed out with his katana and his massive sword. The figure evaded every stroke of the rampaging samurai with much ease. He leapt onto Yojimbo's massive sword and slid down the blade impaling Yojimbo in the eye.
Yojimbo exploded into cries of pain as the figure yanked his blade out of Yojimbo's eye and shot him in the chest. Yuna's eyes opened a bit to see the figure defeat Yojimbo in a hazy blur. 'Him?' she thought as her eyes became heavy and her head fell to the chilled ground.
Yuna awoke the next day in a slight daze and gazed around the room. A friendly face appeared out of the fog. It was Tromell. "I'm glad to see you have awoken Lady Yuna. I found you and your friends outside the entrance to the farplane huddled up together. And your friends are still unconscious." She leaned up on an elbow and glanced around the room to see her four friends upon other beds.
Yuna got up as her vision cleared and she walked around the chamber. The harmonious melody of the musicians from Macalania woods floated gently through the chamber. She went over to each of her friends and checked on them. "Don't worry Lady Yuna they will all be alright they just need sleep." Tromell's soft voice calmed Yuna down. "I suggest you should rest too. You seam like you need it." Yuna nodded and went back to her designated bed and fell asleep as her head hit the pillow.
Yuna awoke the next morning to Rikku and Brother hovering over her. Their eyes widened in surprise and joy as Yuna's eyes slowly opened. Yuna leaned up on a shoulder and smiled a lighthearted smile to her caring friends. Paine on looked from across the room in a corner. The voices of Buddy and Tromell drifted down the quite corridor. They were speaking about something Yuna couldn't decipher she could only hear words here and there from their conversation.
Rikku and Brother helped Yuna onto her feet, she was still in a slight daze. She collapsed to her knees when she stood but quickly recovered with the aid of her friends. They helped her to the door to the corridor to exit the building. By then she shook off her dazedness and could walk on her own. They meet up with Buddy who was deep in conversation with Tromell about something no other could understand. When his friends reached him he finished conversing with Tromell and walked with his friends. They past the hall of past Guado leaders and Rikku's eyes narrowed as she glimpsed Seymour's portrait. The five companions strode out of Tromell's house after bidding him goodbye. Buddy radioed Shinra to pick them up. He came with the lumbering Celsius and lowered the rope ladder to them. They climbed up it into the hold as the airship took off into the clear blue sky.
