The Mysterious Al-Bhed
Silver Dragon Youkai- Hey A-Chan, we still love you! Don't worry about us though,we'll keep in contact if we do move. Me and H-Chan still wear our rings.
Gyste4- Sorry I didn't update sooner, got inspiration for another story, had to update it, then I wrote like 6 other stories. So sorry for the late update.
Jeminikross- Yeah, it's about Gippal and the girl, but he's not first on the agenda, Baralai is. :) (But not how you may think)
D-Chan: D-Chan here. In the words of Green Day, I'm having trouble tryin' to sleep, I'm countin' sheep but runnin' out. Any way, so things are gonna be slow now that I've finally made up a system of updating down the list. It depends on reviews to which one gets updates though, so REVIEW!
H-Chan: -pumps fist in the air- YEAH! REVIEW!
Flame: I think D-Chan needs to stop mixing up me and Falcon's emotional status, I'm the happy one. -points at himself- And Falcon is the mean, sulky, sexy (I'm sexy too of course, D-Chan wouldn't design me any other way.) one. If you like those kinda people.
Falcon: -scowls at readers- D-Sama doesn't own Final Fantasy X or X-2. If she did, the story wouldn't be like it is, and it probably would of never made it to the U.S. Do to miner NC-17 rating, and Yuna and Rikku would die most gruesome deaths and Tidus and Jecht and Auron, and Braska would all be living cuz there all just damned sexy (In D-Sama's words, not mine). That's why the U.S. Sucks major Bush balls. In D-Sama's own words.
Gippal watches as her eye's slide shut once again, for the fifth time in a little over 2 minutes, slowly going in and out of consciousness. She had recently woke, after sleeping all night but had gone back under shortly after. He turns to McClasky, the main doctor on this experiment "Let me know when she wakes fully and is able to speak, don't ask her anything, she might clam up, just come and get me." Gippal leaves the room, walking down to the mess hall. He smiles at his fellow Al-Bhed and joins the line-up for the food.
Filling his tray, he walks over to a table that's half-full with laughing workers. He joins them. Rikku grins "Hey Gippal, heard the girl woke up, she talk yet?" Gippal shakes his head "Not yet, she's still gaining consciousness." Rikku pouts "Awww! I was hoping she was awake and talking, give me another girl to talk to around here." Gippal grins "Yeah, but she's a real beauty, she might be competition." Rikku's eye's narrow "Don't even play like that Gippal, it's not funny."
Gippal smiles apologetically "Sorry Rikku, I was just joking a little, didn't know you would react like that." Rikku just continues to pout "You shouldn't play like that, you have a reputation for doing stuff like that, don't talk like you still have that reputation."
(Gippal's P.O.V.)
I give her a small smile "Your the only woman for me Rikku." I let the lie slide off my tongue. Cid had arranged our marriage, saying that if neither of us found someone to love in one years time we were to wed. Rikku, had fallen for me, falling blissfully in love, unaware that I did not love her back, or nor would I ever, she was like a little sister, nothing more, if we did marry, we would never have children for I wouldn't touch her, lay a degrading finger on her.
I quickly finish my lunch, and stand adding the tray to the collection waiting to be washed. I make my way back to the observatory. I nod to the scientist whom I had put in charge and he nods back, walking from the room as I sit in the chair next to the hospitable like bed. I sigh letting my head fall back to rest on the back of the chair. I stretch my legs out and let my eye's fall shut, slowly drifting to sleep to make up for the lack of sleep I had gotten watching over her.
I awake to the shaking of my shoulder. I let my eye's slide open, only to see bright swirly green eye's starring right back. I blink and realize it's the girl who was on the bed. I sit straight immediately. She falls back onto the bed blinking at me. I blink back and decide to ask one of the questions that pop into my head "When did you wake up?" She blinks a bit more "About two minutes ago, where am I?" I stand "This is the hospitable wing in the Machine Faction Headquarters in the Sanubia Desert, home to the Al-Bhed race.
She blinks at me, then asks "What's an Al-Bhed?" I blink incredulously "You're one, and you don't know what an Al-Bhed is?" She shakes her head and asks "What's Sanubia Desert?" I stare "Oh Spira, she doesn't know anything." She looks curiously at me and I realize she doesn't know what Spira is either. I run a hand through my hair "Well you see..." I go about the art of telling her what happened and how we found her. She goes about the art of explaining her life story, all that she can remember up to the point of waking up.
I stare, "I hate to tell you, but Zanarkand was destroyed over 1000 years ago, It was destroyed in the war by, well we're not sure." She blinks and says "We were at war with a place called Bevelle, but that war ended, we are very much alive." I grin "At least you know what Bevelle is." She looks confused "You have a Bevelle here?" I nod "Once your up and about, I'll take you on my airship to go visit an old friend of mine, you'll love him, he's a cool guy."
