"So you say you want a revolution?"
Break:
The holding room was dark and smelled of rat crap. Tidus was fully aware of this, as he had been shackled to its wall for the past two hours. Now, he scanned the room for the umpteenth time to see if he could discover a way out, but once again there was no such luck. His shackles were titanium and he had expended all his energy in the previous battles, to make matters worse, he knew what they were going to do to him.
No! I won't let them, he cried in his head, but still he could not shake the feeling of doom, please Yuna, show them the disc.
The door beeped and slid open.
Seymour walked in and smiled evilly," Hello Tidus. Welcome to hell."
Break:
Yuna surveyed the fighters who had answered her call for a meeting. Rikku, Auron, Lulu, Wakka, and Kimahri had obviously shown up, but they had also brought Remi and Donna.
Yuna was silently glad that Donna had come; she didn't want to be the only summoner in the thick of battle. Still, the snotty summoner was still getting on her nerves," What am I doing here? I was told only strong fighters were invited, but I only see crappy ones!"
Her smug smile faded fast, however, as Rikku's claw appeared not a half inch from her jugular," I don't think any one of us is in the mood for your bitching. There is something going on here that could get us killed so shut up and listen up!"
Yuna thanked Rikku silently and began to speak," Five of our fellow competitors and dear friends have been wrongfully arrested. Truthfully, I don't know why, but what miss Remi here has shown me may clear things up."
Yuna nodded and Remi pulled a sphere from her pocket," This is footage that was recovered from the wreckage of my family's house after it was burned. It survived inside one of our security cameras."
She clicked "play" and everybody gathered around to watch the video. On the screen were three people," The two on the far couch are my mom and dad, the one on the other couch is Seymour."
"I came here to discuss the superhuman project," said Seymour carefully.
Remi's father furrowed his brow," I thought we discussed this Seymour. I will not allow it to go to actual testing until I am sure it is safe."
Seymour slammed his fist down on his knee," Come now Marcos be reasonable! Deeming it safe will take years and by then we could lose the grant! There just isn't enough time!"
Marcos stared at him calmly," I'm sorry Seymour, and I know that it will be longer. But I cannot let a technology this unstable go into use at this present moment. That's final!"
Seymour sighed and stood from his seat," I didn't want it to come to this."
He snapped his long fingers and the four cloaked figures entered the room with their guns drawn and pointed a t the middle aged man and his wife.
Marcos' eyes bulged as he said," Seymour, what are you doing?"
"You aren't co-operating Marcos. It is with great sorrow that we have to let go of you now," said Seymour softly as he drew his own gun and pointed it at his partner.
"SEYMOURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR," yelled Marcos as the gun safeties were taken off and he hugged on to his crying wife.
Remi quickly pressed the stop button and let out a loud gasp," I'm sorry…I can't watch anymore."
Auron whispered solemnly," Neither do we."
Rikku put her arm around the latino girl's shoulders and comforted her while Yuna began to speak again," You will notice that this murder was all over something called "The Superhuman Project". Now, Kimahri's organization kept watch over Seymours company during this projects commencement. Kimahri?"
Kimahri cleared his throat and spoke gruffly," Me monitor Seymour and other scientists like Remi's dad. Superhuman Project about administering fiend's blood to dead subject to see if they come back to life. Fiend blood have properties of advanced white magic, but Seymour miscalculate power of dark magic in it. Subjects were revived, but became fiends as well. Their power as a human was multiplied tenfold, but they have the intelligence a human does. Exterminating them was difficult as they used strategy and battle techniques never before used by fiends. Seymour was charged with endangerment of public and developing biochemical weapons, but both charges were dropped."
Auron nodded," I heard of this while traveling. It caused quiet a commotion from what I gather."
Kimahri nodded," We personally saw to it that all research and records of the project were destroyed, but we could not get what was still in Seymour's head."
Yuna put her hand on Kimahri's shoulder," Thank you. Now that you have heard this, I have but one more piece of information to add."
Swiftly, she pulled a small disc out of her cleavage," Tidus slipped this into my mouth when he kissed me earlier today. I don't know how he got it, but it does reveal some certain mysteries that have aroused lately."
Remi handed her the sphere player and Yuna slipped the disk into a slit. The little machine hummed and pictures appeared on it's screen. First, a picture of Riku laying unconscious on the operating table. Second, a shot of Kitar, Orri, and Zulu floating in tanks filled with green liquid, tubes coming from all of their orifices. Third, the three aforementioned fighters except coming towards the camera and looking devoid of all emotion, their eyes as blank as fog. Lulu shivered and pulled herself close to Wakka who muttered," Those are fiend eyes."
Yuna pushed the eject button," Exactly. Seymour has put the Superhuman Project back into action, except this time he's doing it illegally and with our fellow fighters. I don't think I need to tell you that he must be stopped."
They all nodded in unison," Good, tomorrow when we go out to fight here's what we'll do."
Break:
Yuna couldn't sleep, she paced the cabin alone and hoped that Rikku and Auron were having a good time at the boy's cabin as well as Lulu and Wakka having a fun camp out. She, however, felt empty without Tidus next to her. This was her second night without him and all she could do was worry. Yuna sat down on the bed and rocked back and forth, Please be safe.
Break:
Rikku snuggled close to Auron as he wrapped them both in his long, red coat. Slowly, she pushed herself up his ripped chest and met his lips gently, coaxingly. Auron kissed back and whispered," We should sleep, baby. We have to save our friends tomorrow."
Although Auron could tell Rikku didn't want to go to sleep by the passion burning in her eyes, she murmured," Okay."
She sank back down into his lap and lay her head gently on his stomach," Goodnight, love."
He wrapped his left arm around her stomach and his right arm under her butt," Sweet dreams princess."
Break:
Lulu was lost in Wakka's lips under the moonlit courtyard inside the arena grounds. The kiss was one that been coiled inside both of them like a spring through out the day and was finally released. Wakka broke the kiss and switched to her neck, trailing them down towards her breasts. Lulu moaned and pushed him onward with her hands, she had been waiting for this. As they proceeded to make love for the first time, lulu's moogle doll watched from the shadows and wondered just what humans went through all that trouble for.
Break:
Marin hugged herself in the corner of her cell, she could stand being enclosed in spaces for only some time before her claustrophobia got to her. Sweat drenched her face and a single tear trickled from her eyes, get me outta here!
She looked up suddenly as somebody opened the door and walked in. Cloud's mako infused eyes shone at her in the dark," How are you?"
Marin turned her face away, trying to conceal her tears," Why do you care?"
Cloud knew he deserved her hostility," Because, I can't forget you."
Marin sniffled," Shut up."
Cloud sighed and moved towards her shaking form," Because I can't keep my eyes off you."
Marin turned to face him and whispered," So?"
He bent down so that their faces were two inches apart," So what?"
Marin smiled and whispered," Me too."
Cloud leaned forward and took her lips smoothly," Trust me through all this."
Then he got up and left. Marin hugged herself close, warmth had inexplicably taken over her body and she liked it.
Break:
Tidus was lying on a medical table and pretending to be unconscious. They had given him a shot, but he had used a final reserve of magic to detox himself. Now he waited for the opportune moment to present itself. They had tortured him, tazers, flails, the works. The shot had made him feel better, but the pain was still there mentally, as well as a longing for a certain brunette that held his heart. He shook himself from those thoughts and concentrated, he sensed no life in the room, but he could feel two presences approaching the room. He relaxed his body to appear asleep when the doctors entered the room chuckling amongst themselves.
"Better get this over with," said the first doctor unenthused.
"Yeah," responded the second one," the quicker this goes, the faster we get paid!"
They put on their equipment and grabbed scalpels," Let's do this."
Suddenly, they both collapsed and fell to the floor in an unconscious heap. A k now risen Tidus stood over them and rubbed his fingers, knock out presses hurt them a little. He picked both scalpels and looked out the window of the room. Seeing that the coast was clear, he opened the door and stepped outside.
He snuck through the corridors, using all of his remaining strength to keep himself moving and breathing. Eventually, via the signs, he reached the prison cell hall. Quickly dispatching the guards with his scalpels, he took their keycards and opened all the cell doors and restraints, releasing their occupants. Feros rubbed his wrists and smiled," About time. Shit was starting to hurt."
Jayna nodded," I second that. They really don't know how to treat a lady here."
Katya smiled," We should go teach them a lesson."
Marin returned it with an evil smirk of her own," Testicle whamming?"
Tidus cringed," Okay ladies, cool it. We have to think clearly if we are going to get the hell out of here."
Feros took one of the scalpels from Tidus," Way ahead of you."
Break:
The crowd was roaring in a primal manner, like most crowds do when wanting to smell the scent of violence. Seymour was in a very good mood, which for him was extremely peculiar. He stood in front of the crowd and cried out with ecstasy," Do you want a fight?"
The crowd howled in a tone that meant only one thing, hell yes.
Seymour inhaled their energy and bellowed," Then let it begin!"
The fighters took their places and Seymour rang the bell with an evil grin, feeling extremely satisfied. The feeling, however, was soon ripped from him as the fighters stood there and did nothing. The crowd began to look at each other in confusion, they had come here to sait their sadistic desires, and now nothing was happening. Seymour rang the bell again, and again, but the fighters stood as still as statues. Like any regular crowd, this was had been given enough time without action and began to get irritated. Irritated meant yelling, fighting, and the throwing of random objects. Seymour growled," No one will make a fool of me."
Break:
Yuna stood and put her chin on her staff. It had been fifteen minutes and the crowd had decided that it was going to leave and bitch about it at home. Now was the time to take action. She sensed Seymour and his guards approaching and nodded to Remi, Rikku, and Kimahri. They acknowledged her signal and got ready for a confrontation.
"What is the meaning of this?" Seyomour cried in rage," You are privileged with the opportunity to enter this tournament! How could you quit at the end you worthless shits!"
Yuna raised her head and spoke in a chilling tone," We can because we won't fight in a tournament in which the loser are made into zombies for your army!"
Seymour recoiled in surprise, but quickly regained himself," Heh, so your worthless boy toy told you about my plans. It makes no difference to me, your friends are all "superhumans" now."
Yuna kept her voice free of emotion even though doubt slashed at her concentration," I can still feel my love. You have not taken him yet. I will give you a chance to surrender. If you refuse, we will kill you."
Seymour chuckled," What delusion allows you to even slightly carry a shred of hope that you can defeat me? Guards, aid me in cleaning this scum!"
Seymour's guard drew their lances and charged at the quartet with a cry of war, but Yuna unleashed a call of her own in the form of a whistle. A blitzball ploughed into the gut of the first guard and brought him to his knees in pain, but the pain didn't last long as Kimahri knocked him out with the butt of his spear. Another guard tried to sneak up behind him, but the ronso stood still and smiled with satisfaction as thee attacker was fried by a bolt of lightening. Yuna was running towards Seymour and reading some energy, but was halted by one of the guards. She kept running and the guard smiled as he raised his spear, but fell into two pieces as Auron cleaved like a watermelon. Remi was surrounded by two guards, but that didn't seem to phase her a bit," White Fang!"
The guard to her left was pierced through the center by a shard of white energy and fell to the ground, but the second dodged it and sped forward with his spear outward. However, Remi had calculated this and let a pair of words roll of her tongue, expelling them like a kiss," Earthen Hammer!"
The guard was crushed by a hammer made of solid rock.
Rikku licked her claw and smiled at three guards," Come and get me boys!"
The guards split and charged her from three different directions in an attempt to confuse her, but Rikku had a secret accomplice. The head guard met a Firaga head on and Lulu materialized in front of his charred form," Would you like that deep fried or extra crispy?"
Rikku squealed in excitement and finished the other tow guards with a couple of claw-swipes.
Yuna stopped quickly and raised her staff," BAHAMUT!"
The dragon descended from the heavens and slammed down in front of Seymour's now petite form. Seymour, however, seem unphased," Oh look! A lizard! Well what'll we do? He could hurt someone. BANISH!"
Yuna watched in horror as Bahamut roared and faded into nothingness. Seymour chuckled," time for a true summon, ANIMA!"
The forever pained summon rose from the ground, bringing a small taste of hell with it," Now Anima! Show her the meaning of pain!"
The beast cried and shot a ball of dark energy at Yuna, but the young summoner had cast a protective shield around herself and deflected the attack. Got to think quickly!, Yuna hurried herself. She rolled out of the way as Anima's claws raked the ground where she had stood not a second ago, I need a single powerbomb!
Quickly, she drew Valefor's spirit into her hand and whispered," Sorry for this baby."
Channeling all her power into the aeon's spirit and dodged another one of Anima's advances. This gave her a brief shot at Seymour himself, who was concentrating too hard on keeping Anima functional.
She raised her hand and used the one technique she was told never to use," AEON CANNON!"
Valefor's spirit shot from her hand and sped towards Seymour with inhuman speed, but Anima drew back at just the right moment and took the blast at full force. Seymour cried out in pain as Anima exploded into nothingness," MOTHERRRRRR!"
Yuna heard his cry and gasped in surprise, oh dear!"
Seymour threw himself back into composure, she had just killed his mother, but he was too weak to take on the whole party," You're too late fuckers!"
He yelled this and then disappeared into thin air, Yuna cursed at his ability to teleport. Kimahri spoke the obvious," We must follow him."
Yuna nodded," I know."
Break:
Ten guards entered the cell ward cautiously, security had sensed the doors opening and they were checking it out. To their relief, the cells were all closed and there was no sound and they turned to leave. Then they heard the click of a button, and the sound of gates opening.
Break:
