NOTE: I'm very sorry that I haven't been posting lately. Mainly because I haven't been RPGing. But ever since I watched Advent Children, I got re-inspired to not only write this story, but play Final Fantasy. So enjoy this, because while you're reading this, I'm probably playing Final Fantasy Seven. Later Days!

Chapter Eleven: Citizen Tifa, Part One

Yuna was out on the deck of the Celsius, with her hair blowing in the wind. Her eyes were wide with wonder. For it WAS the first time that she had ever been outside of Spira. She was looking at the waters of Pandora as Lulu came out to see what was up.

LULU: My, my. What do we have here? What troubles you, Yuna?

YUNA: Nothing. Nothing at all. Who's flying the ship?

LULU: Rinoa is for now. Now what's wrong?

YUNA: I'm just thinking back to when I was little.

LULU: Your childhood.

YUNA: My father told me that one day, he'd love for me to see the world. Not just Spira, but lands far away from Spira. Around this time, we were hearing about Sephiroth's original reign of terror in Mako. I wondered then what I could do about it. That's a huge chunk of the reason why I became a summoner. To stop the Sephiroths of the world from carrying out their evil deeds. Now I get that chance. To not only see the world, but to stop Sephiroth in the process.

LULU: I never knew. Why didn't you tell me sooner?

YUNA: Because…you would have tried to stop me. I've always known that this was a foolish reason to become a summoner. More foolish than me wanting to follow in my father's footsteps. I had the belief that Sephiroth wouldn't make his way here to Spira. Yeah, stopping Seymour and Vegnagun were huge accomplishments, but ever since our fight with The Turks, I knew that the time had come to carry out my destiny.

LULU: I hear a new radiance in your voice, Yuna. You want this badly. Well, I say this. I remember watching Cloud Strife's fight with Sephiroth on TV. It was hard for him to maintain himself while fighting him.

YUNA: I know where you're taking this, Lulu. I don't have Jenova cells in me.

LULU: Exactly. That's why I think that you can beat him.

YUNA: Really?

LULU: Yes. But never forget that you are High Summoner Yuna. Not Cloud Strife. The Shin-Ra are highly dangerous. ARE YOU SURE that you want to do this, Yuna?

YUNA: There's no doubt. Sephiroth is harming Mana…and I want to be the one to stop him.

LULU: And we'll be there every step of the way to make sure that happens.

Yuna and Lulu smiled at each other, and looked up at the harvest moon. They knew that they had a long journey ahead of them, and any bit of laughter and serenity helps in times like these. Soon the party would be splitting up, and the beginning of the YRP flush out of Shin-Ra Corporation would soon begin.

At long last, The Celsius was flying overhead Pandora. Galbadia, to be exact. This was to be Yuna's stop. She had her things, ready to board off the airship.

RINOA: Yuna. You sure you know your objective?

YUNA: Meet up with Irvine Kinneas.

RINOA: Sweet.

YUNA: Only one question, Rinoa. Where do I meet up with him?

RINOA: All he told me was that he was going to be in the most obvious place in Deling City. Where that is, I have no idea. So just take it as he could be anywhere.

PAINE: Give 'em hell, Yuna.

RIKKU: Yeah! Kick some major Shin-Ra butt, Yunie!

YUNA (laughing): I will, I will!

Then, Lulu walks up to Yuna and puts her hand on her shoulder.

LULU: Yuna. Remember what we talked about.

YUNA: Yes. I know. Hey. Where's Serendipity?

SERENDIPITY (from the back): Take care, Yuna!

LULU: Serendipity must be busy with that map of Esthar Rinoa gave her.

RINOA: Ready to roll, High Summoner?

YUNA: Ready and able.

RINOA: Okay. Lulu…

LULU: I'm on it!

Lulu flips the lever to let down the Celsius' hatch. Yuna grabs her six-shooters and walks down the stairs. Rinoa, Rikku and Lulu wave goodbye to her as Paine gives a salute. While Yuna is walking towards Deling City, the Celsius takes off and heads for the next stop. Now Yuna is all alone in a city she knows very little about. As she walks deeper into the city she notices flyers all around. The talk she hears isn't about Sephiroth and the possible invasion of Pandora. It is of who will be the next president of Galbadia.

YUNA (to herself): This is crazy! I don't believe this! Don't they know that Sephiroth is out there, poised and ready to take over Pandora, and all they can think about is who will be their next president? Okay, Yuna. Get it together. No need to lose your mind right now. You have to find the most obvious spot in Deling City. There you will find Kinneas. That should be your only focus right now, Summoner Girl.

Yuna was now as far as the presidential palace. There, there were flyers circling around as the wind was blowing at a medium pace. She picked one up that landed at her feet.

YUNA: "Do what's good for Galbadia. Vote General Caraway for your president?" What in the…

TEEN: You a Caraway supporter?

Yuna looked up and saw a male in a black leather coat and khaki pants. He had a comb sticking out of his shoulder length hair. He looked at Yuna sternly again and asked his question again.

TEEN: I said…are…you…a…Caraway supporter?

YUNA: I have no earthly idea who this General Caraway is.

TEEN: Good. Then come with me.

YUNA: Huh?

GALBADIAN GUARD A: So Nara! You talking down on the next president again, are you?

NARA: I'd die before I give my vote to that rat, Caraway!

GALBADIAN CAPTAIN: You're just like that disrespectful sister of yours! You'll get your wish. 25,000,000 Gil to the person who shoots and kills Nara Heartilly!

YUNA (to herself): Did they just say his last name was Heartilly?

Nara starts running for his life, and Yuna is quick to chase after him. The captain of the Galbadian guards comes up and stops his troops from chasing after Nara a second to address them.

GALBADIAN CAPTAIN: Wait a minute.

GALBADIAN GUARD B: What are you talking about? We were about to kill Nara!

GALBADIAN CAPTAIN: That woman. She looks like…wait a second. That is!

GALBADIAN GUARD A: That's who?

GALBADIAN CAPTAIN: That's High Summoner Yuna from Spira!

GALBADIAN GUARDS: HIGH SUMMONER YUNA!

GALBADIAN CAPTAIN: Yes. And she's protecting that scumbag Nara. Bring me Nara's head on a platter. But bring me High Summoner Yuna alive. General Caraway will decide what we do with her.

GALBADIAN GUARDS: Yes sir!

The Galbadian Guards started running after Yuna and Nara. They knew that Yuna and Nara were outrunning them, so they snatched a couple of motorcycles from a couple of teenagers and continued to chase after Yuna and Nara. They started shooting without hesitation. Although they missed, Yuna pulled out her six-shooters and shot both guards off the motorcycles. The guards were now on foot again, but they were much closer to them that they once were. But what Yuna didn't realize was that one of the guards took out his gun and shot Nara right in the leg.

YUNA: NARA!

NARA: No! Go on without me! Go to the Galbadia Hotel and look for a woman dark brown hair and dressed in all white! Tell her that I've been captured! GO!

YUNA: No, Nara! I'm not leaving until I know you're fine!

The blood was dripping down Nara's leg and was coming out of his leg of his Khakis. Yuna tried to pick him up, but as soon as she got him upright, the Galbadian Guards had guns on both Yuna and Nara. They had an almost orgasmic look of pleasure on their faces as they were about to do in the High Summoner and the rebellious teenager.

GALBADIAN GUARD A: Ha, ha, ha! I have to commend both of you on your efforts to run from us!

GALBADIAN GUARD B: But the game is over now! I hope it was worth it, because now WE are your judge and jury!

YUNA: Why? Why are you doing this to us!

Then, the Galbadian Captain walked up to Yuna and slapped her face.

GALBADIAN CAPTAIN: It's because of worthless scum like you that people like Sephiroth run rampid through Mana! It's because of worthless people like Nara that children and teenager don't want to follow orders from their elders. I wish to make an example of High Summoner Yuna by televising her execution on the same day that the great General Caraway becomes the great Dictator Caraway!

NARA: You are truly some sick freaks!

The captain slapped Nara in his face.

GALBADIAN CAPTAIN: SHUT UP YOU INSOLENT CUR! The more you talk, the less time High Summoner Yuna has to live. You don't want her to die before her execution date, do you?

WOMAN: That's IF you two make it to that "execution!"

GALBADIAN SOLIDERS: HUH?

The Galbadian Soilders looked behind them and were shocked on what they saw. Yuna was also shocked, but a smile came to Nara's face. There stood a woman wearing a white sports bra, white suspenders and a white leather mini-skirt with white work boots. She then cracked her knuckles and started putting on her elbow pad, arm guards and maroon open fingered gloves. She then looked right at the guards.

WOMAN: Uh, is there a problem here?

GALBADIAN CAPTAIN: KILL HER!

Turned around, and pulled out their guns, but it was too late. The woman kicked them out of their hands. The guards proceeded to try and fight her by swinging wildly, but to no avail. As soon as she got an opening, she wasted no time in flooring the two guards. The captain was shaking in his boots so much that he turned around and started running towards Caraway's Mansion. Nara loved every second of this, but Yuna was still in awe on what she just saw. Then, she walked up to the High Summoner.

WOMAN: You must be High Summoner Yuna.

YUNA: How did you know my name?

WOMAN: Now how can I forget the face of the summoner who saved Spira from both Sin and Vegnagun? No, I'm not from Spira, but Irvine Kinneas did say that you would be coming here. Besides, I have a vested interest in seeing Sephiroth finally get his.

YUNA: You can't be….?

WOMAN: Tifa Lockheart, soon to be President of Galbadia.
