Well, before I forget what happened let's get back to the story.
On Earth as it is in Spira: Chapter 6: New Mission, New Member
"What is it?" asked Silly going over to where Brother was standing, next to Buddy.
"Recent outbreak of fiends," said Buddy. "Right here."
"But, that's Kingston, Jamaica, where our new contact is."
"Yep. That's where their at. We're guessing their about the strength of those on Besaid. Not the strongest, but we can send down a few to take them out."
"So it shouldn't be too big of a problem."
"No, that is, if we can get people down their now, before they get too out of hand."
"Is that where we're headed?"
"Been flying that direction for about 10 minutes there, we should be there… real soon."
"Good flight time Buddy. I'll round up a few people. And I'll see if Rikku can get in touch with the person we've had contact with for a while. We've been talking of a good time to meet. I wonder if this would be a good time. Rather sudden, but… let's try it. Would we be ready for it Buddy?"
"I sure think so. We've been prepared since the beginning. Get a hold of Rikku, and see if you can get his attention."
"Awesome." Silly came and looked at me. I was about to protest, but then she said, "Help me round up a few people will ya."
"Uh… sure," I said. She and I both turned back toward the elevator only to meet everyone that was on the ship.
"Oh, that's right; everyone said they were coming here. Well, let me tell ya the situation then," said Silly. "We got some fiends down in Jamaica, around Kingston, the capital. Their pretty simple, nothin' to hard, but we need to get them outta there quick before they spread. Also, that is where our contact lives. Rikku, you'll need to get a hold of him A.S.A.P. so we can see if he'd be willing to meet us somewhere close by. Anyway, for the fiends, I'm going to send down those who can get the job done quickly, and are strong." This was a complete and total relief to me, because I wasn't that strong. Heck I head just learned four spells, and it was no guarantee that they were going to work again. "So, here's who I'm going to send." She looked around at everyone. "Paine, you go in your warrior dress sphere."
"Alright," she said nodding.
"And, Yuna, you go as a summoner" Yuna said nothing, but just simply nodded.
"Tidus, Yuffie, I want you two down their too."
They nodded in unison, and said, "Okay."
"Tidus, Paine and Yuffie stay together. Cloud you go down with Yuna."
"No problem," he said.
"And, Lulu, I'm gonna send you too, with Cloud and Yuna."
"Oka…-WHAT?" I said. I didn't want to go down. "No, no, no, you don't want me down there. I just figured out how magic works!"
"You'll be fine!" Silly said. "Besides, if anything goes wrong Yuna will be there as a summoner, she'll bail you out."
"And if she won't," said Max, "I will."
"See?" said Silly. "Now, Buddy's going to put us close to Kingston Jamaica, that's where the fiends showed up. There's some area around there that's thick with trees, so that's where he'll set us down."
"Where he'll set you down!" I said.
"Give it up Connie;" said Max, "you're going. End of story." I rolled my eyes. It was no use, and I was toast.
Everyone else was ready, but Yuna just had to change into her summoner outfit, since she was in her gunner outfit more often than not, so she went down to change quickly. Close behind her was Rikku, who was going to hastily speak with their contact… whatever that meant.
"Max, may I have a word with you?" said pulling him over to the side. "Okay, maybe you slept though that magic session back there, but I can hardly do a simple spell let alone anything beyond that!" I whispered to him.
"Connie, what are you worried about? You like magic a lot, and you used Lulu more often than anyone else in that game. Will you calm down?"
"No I will not calm down!"
"Then fine, stay here, sob, cry, and be pitiful. We have work to do."
I looked at him, and he looked at me, waiting for a reply. "Alright!" I said, "You win. I'll go, but I wont' like it."
"Fine by me."
"Okay, Silly, I'll go."
"Good! How long Buddy?"
"I'd say, about 2 minutes." It was then that Yuna came back, and Rikku.
"Good report!" Rikku said. "I spoke with the guy, and he said he'd be glad to meet me just outside the city. Will that work?"
"It should," replied Silly.
"Good, that's where he'll be. He'd been pretty confused if no one had been there!"
"So, we're ready then?" asked Yuna.
"Just about," said Silly, "but we should be there very soon."
"Okay," said Max. "Yuna, come here. Connie, you too. Now, these fiends are pretty simple, so we shouldn't have too much to worry about. But, Connie… uh, Lulu, is a little worried her magic isn't going to hold up."
"So I should keep Valfore handy?"
"Uh… yeah," I replied. "That'd be great."
"No problem."
"Alright!" yelled Buddy. "Say your 'see ya later's' I'm going to set us down.
Yuna quickly hugged Tidus and said, "See you soon."
"Same to you," he replied.
Max walked over to Aeris. "Promise not to worry too much?"
"Only a little," she replied. He nodded, and turned away from her. Aeris threw her arms around Max. "See you soon," she said. Max smiled, and let her hug him. She soon released her grip, and Max walked away from her.
"We'll be back soon Brother!" Rikku called running towards the door with tremendous energy. 'How can she be so… happy all the time?' I thought to myself.
"Don't cause too much of a scene," Buddy said.
"We'll see you seven later, yes," said Brother.
We all got to the door of the ship, and it opened for us. We were on our way in fighting mission one in Jamaica, and finding a new member.
