Chapter 3: Miss smarty britches
"Now let's see you give your overdrive a try, Tidy-kins." I said teasingly.
Tidus shot me a dirty look then unleashed Spiral Cut. One of the appendages dissolved into pyreflies.
"Beat that." He said smirking at me.
"Fine. I will." I snapped back.
I ran up to the Sinspawn and roundhouse kicked it in the face Chuck Norris style…or something like it. Another tentacle dissolved.
"Not bad for a girl." He mumbled.
"What? I didn't hear you?" I said, laughing. I could tell right then, I was going to get on his nerves a lot while I was going to be traveling with him.
Without warning, Auron ran forward quickly and cut away two more of the tentacle's tentacles, using his overdrive: Dragon Fang. Wait can tentacles have tentacles? It all sounds pretty gross to me, but what can you do? Blame Square and their failure to create a monster that doesn't have like a bazillion tentacles.
Auron looked back at us, "That's how it's done." He said. Oh yeah he can mock you and you can't do a thing about it. Unless you want him to throw his sword on your face. And to be honest…that would be bad, very, very bad. "Tidus, you cut through the front." Auron shouted.
"Okay." Tidus said. He leapt into the air and brought his sword down on the front of the tentacle.
"Now you, Siry." he ordered, pointing to the jiggling mass.
"You got it Boss Man." I said saluting him, then running up to the monster and sending my fist through its form.
The Sinspawn became perfectly still before it melted all over the street…and my arm. "Oh, nasty." I said, trying to fling the crudfrom my arm.
"Good luck trying to get that out of your clotheslater." Tidus said, running past me.
"Good luck trying to get my foot out of your…" Before I could finish Auron cut me off with his commanding voice.
"Let's go this way. And make sure you save at the Save Sphere." He said pointing to the glowy blue sphere of pretty colors.
I ran over to it and touched the top to activate it. I felt all warm and fuzzy inside. Ya know Save Spheres feel nice when you touch them. After I had finished saving, I ran after my party. That's when I noticed Tidus looking up at the billboard with Jecht's picture as we ran by. "What are you laughing at?' I heard him say.
Weirdo, talking to billboards. You might need to call Dr. Phil me friend. By the time we had caught up with Auron. He had already drawn his weapon to fight the Sinscales littering the streets. "Man these things are everywhere." I said sighing in disgust, "I'm tired of fighting!"
Tidus grinned, "Awww is the wittle girl weady to go home to mommy now?"
"I'll smack you!" I said.
"How about you fight them, instead of each other." Auron said nodding toward the Sinscales.
"If you can't hang with the big dogs, then stay on the porch." Tidus said to me, swinging his sword and cutting through a scale.
"This could be bad…" Auron said. Then spying a tanker on the street, he ordered, "Knock that down. Now." He ordered. Man he's good at that. Tidus hacked away at it with his sword, while I kicked the crud out of it. Auron was busy owning the Sinscales. Finally, the tanker fell. The explosion took the part of the street and the sinscales with it.
"Way to go, Auron. Up top." I held out my hand for a high five. But he stared at me like I was a complete and utter idiot.
"Way to go? We just destroyed half of the road." Tidus said, looking at the mess in horror.
"Don't worry, Tidy-Kins. They can fix it." I said, looking over at him
Auron sighed, walking passed me and I could've sworn I heard him mumble, "I knew I should've just gone to the Farplane."
We ran after him as Sin began sucking everything into his mouth, including the road we were on. Auron had reached the rising part before we did. Tidus leapt into the air like fifteen feet and grabbed hold of the road.
"Whoa, you expect me to do that? That defies the laws of gravity."
Auron peered over the road, "You'll jump if you plan on sticking with us." He said.
"Fine." I grumbled. I took three steps back then ran and leapt into the air. I was sure I was going to fall into some deep bottomless pit, but instead, I grabbed hold to Tidus's foot and held on for dear life.
"Auron!" Tidus yelled, as he tried hoisting himself up. I knew I wasn't making it any easier because in my current position I was nothing more than dead weight.
Auron looked back at Sin, "You're sure?" he asked.
Weirdo…talking to monsters trying to kill us...oh wait that's Jecht right? Never mind. He grabbed Tidus by the collar and looked him in the eyes, "It begins here. This is your story…well really it's her story too." He said pointing to me. I was still clinging to Tidus's leg with my eyes clamped shut. Then I heard Tidus scream. I knew we were being engulfed into…whatever Sin takes things he eats or absorbs. After awhile, I opened my eyes and found myself floating in the middle of the blitzball stadium. Tidus was floating beside me. He appeared to be in a daze. I swam in a circle for a moment, before this part of the game returned to my memory. "I think we're supposed to swim over to the flaming j." I said looking over at him. Flaming J. That sounds like a mini mart name. Tidus swam down toward the platform and I followed suit. Jecht was standing there then the image became mini Tidus. A bright light washed over us and all of sudden, I felt like I could just fall over and go to sleep. When we woke up, Tidus laying on a rock and I was floating face up in the water.
"Hey, Siry. Wake up." Tidus said shaking my arm.
I nearly drowned as I jumped suddenly. "What the crud man, are you trying to kill me?" I said, coughing and sputtering.
Tidus shook his head, "Auron!"
"He's not here." I said wringing the water from my clothes.
"How do you know? You were out cold the whole time." He replied.
"Trust me. He's not here." I snapped.
"Fine Miss smarty britches. Why don't you tell me where we are?"
