I let the machina run for a moment, as I checked all the status of all the parts of the beast. Then, I turned it off and happily climbed back down.

"Well, the future for Besaid seems bright." I said, still grinning. I didn't even realize that I had said Besaid.

"Besaid?" Yuna whispered, tensing.

"What do you mean Besaid?" She exclaimed, "What's happening to Besaid?"

Both Rikku and Paine looked at Yuna then back at me.

"Well..uh.." I said quietly, "Kael said that if I don't beat him and his machina, he'll destroy Besaid.."

My grin was gone, along with all the happiness I previously had. I hoped they wouldn't go crazy on me for not telling them right away..

"Idiot." I heard Paine mutter.

"What?" Rikku exclaimed, "Why Besaid? Why Yunie's home?"

I shrugged. "I dunno, maybe because I lived there for a while.." I said.

Yuna hurried over to me.

"you have to win!" she exclaimed loudly, "You can't let them destroy Besaid!"

"Yeah Wakka and Lulu have a family there!" Rikku said.

"I'm not going to let him win, that's why I have to use this machina, no matter how much you guys hate it." I said.

Yuna nodded furiously. "Yes use it if you have to! You just have to save Besaid…" her voice then trailed off.

Rikku looked uneasy but nodded, agreeing with Yuna.

I gave a small nod. "Alright, we need to come back here in three days then, since that's when Kael's gonna try to attack Besaid." I said, "But for now, lets go back to the airship."

"well where should we go?" Rikku asked, 'we haven't really gotten any calls yet…"

"Should we warn the people of Besaid?" I asked, "Or do you think they would panic too much..or think that I am really behind all this, cause they seemed to still hate me when I left.."

"With Yunie there, I think they would believe you." Rikku said.

Yuna nodded. "We do need to warn them." She said.

"Alright, let's go." I said, before heading up the ladder and back into the scorching sunlight of the desert.
