-1The next two days went by rather quickly, since I was working on the small piece of machina out of my bag and getting ready for the fight. Soon, we were heading for Bikanel, so I could pick up the large machina I was going to use to fight.
I was dreadfully nervous, but wasn't showing it at all as I paced. I had to at least look calm, so no one freaked out more than they already were. I couldn't lose now, not when so much was on the line.
When we reached the ruins of Home, I turned to Yuna. "I'm going to go down and get the machina, then head straight to Besaid. I suggest you guys don't come near there, I'm not sure what he'll resort to.." I said, before giving her a brief hug and stepping off the ship.
Quickly, I hurried down into the depths of the hatch and started up the great machine, opening the mechanical top of the hatch and then switching it to fly mode. I sped off towards Besaid, where I found Kael waiting.
He gave me a grin as I landed on the soft sand of Besaid. Opening the top of the machina, I jumped out to formally start the fight. I couldn't see the sin copy yet, but I knew it was there.
Before we shook hands, Kael spoke. "Just to let you know, I made sure that everyone in Spira is going to be watching this fight, so they can see me crush you."
Suddenly, on the ship, Shinra's controls shut down, and the screen flipped to that of a camera on Besaid. Everything could be seen clearly, like they were there.
"Still think you're going to win, huh?" I said, and he snorted.
"Brother, I always win." He said, before we both shook hands. He walked to the water's edge, and I hurried back into the cockpit of the tiger. I made it let out a loud roar, only for it to be met by an even louder yell, one I knew all too well.
/God, it even sounds like Sin../ I thought, as the machina whale broke the surface about 1000 feet out from the shore.
Sin sent three giant blue blasts towards me, which I just let connect. Otherwise, they would've destroyed the village. /Damn cheater../ I thought, before quickly moving to avoid some more attacks.
Right now, all I could do was dodge, and my luck wouldn't last very long. Sin was nearly in range, but not quite. I held onto the armrests tightly as I was slammed by another attack.
My machina sprinted out towards Sin, who was finally close enough for me to attack in the water. The claws of the tiger began to glow, and when I got close to Sin, the machina jumped into the air and slashed Sin, deep too.
If this had been the real sin, this blow would've been merely a flesh wound, but since it was machina, the blow knocked it out of commission, at least until Kael would fix it.
