A/N: Hiya! W left off with Auron being in a hurry for something. What is it? Let's find out.

Chapter 4: Sinspawn Amnes

"God, Auron, why do you have to run so fast?" I ask him when Tidus and I catch up to him. "With all that equipment you have on, you should barely be able to move!" I joked. Tidus chuckled. Auron didn't even smile. "Okay... Uhh, why did you go so fast?" I asked Auron. He pointed up. "That's why," he said nonchalantly.

Tidus and I looked up to where he was pointing, and I was wondering how he could have said that without any fear. It was that big black monster from before. It looked a lot like a black giant squid, but there were blue orbs of light at the end of each tentacle. The only part of it that was moving was the large black tail at the top.

Tidus and I gaped at the large beast. Auron chuckled at our expressions. I tried to smile. "Sinspawn Amnes," I muttered. Tidus was screaming his head off. "How do you expect me to fight this!" he roars. Auron chuckles louder. "Just attack it," he says, as he executes his Dragon Fang. His sword dug into the ground and the Sinspawn exploded. It was still in one piece, but it was badly injured. It reacted by casting Demi. A black hole appeared above us. Suddenly, I felt very weak. "What's happening?" Tidus asked. "That was Demi," I replied. "The spell takes about a fourth of our health."

"Great," he says sarcastically. "What else does it do?"

I smile. "That's all it can do."

Tidus smiles too. "Let's destroy this fiend now!" He executed his Spiral Cut. He ran towards the Sinspawn, did some flips, and slashed the thing with tremendous force. Against Tidus's wish, it survived. Once again, it cast Demi.

"You're not going to defeat it with such weak strength!" I call to him.

Tidus cussed me out.

Auron just hammered at the thing. How does he keep that up? I thought. Amnes used Demi again. I felt very weak. I could barely stand on my feet, let alone on my knees. Any more of this Demi business and I could be inches from death. I decided to attack. I ran up to the fiend and slashed at it with my two blades. The creature shrieked in pain. These weird lights appeared out of nowhere. They were rainbow colored, and they looked very cool. "Pyreflies," Auron says, as if he read my mind. "I knew that," I shot back.

Tidus laughs. "Can we get going before fiends come again?" he asks and heads up the road. Auron laughs too. "Come on, Tetsu-roku. Let's go." He ran to catch up with Tidus. I nod my head. "Wait," I said. I catch up with Auron. "How do you know my name?"

Why was Tidus in such a hurry to keep running ahead? Would we learn of what was responsible for this attack? How does Auron know my name? Tune in next time!
