Chapter 25

Sorry this is late I was so busy last night...like I had piano and then I had to go cheer at a basketball game (I'm a cheerleader) and then from there i had to come home and go straight to bed because I had to take the HSPT (High School Placement Test) today. Man I am sooo tired right now but I love you guys so much that I'm updating...Enjoy!

Lulu and Wakka ran down soundless corridor after soundless corridor in a frantic hunt for their hyper Al Bhed friend-Rikku.

"Lulu!" a voice called to them from a distance, "Wakka!"

Lulu and Wakka spun around on their heels to face the sprinting figures. As the figures came closer Lulu and Wakka could make out their faces; it was Tidus with Yuna in his arms, out like a light, Kimahri and Paine.

"Oh my Yevon! What happened!" Lulu interrogated when she caught a glimpse Yuna's wounded and twitching (A.N: hehe…twitching…that is such a weird word…ok well read on!) body in Tidus' arms.

"We don't know, we just found her like this," Tidus replied with a concerned expression on hid face.

As the group whispered among themselves, faint footsteps were echoing through the halls, and approaching the party swiftly. The group went silent as the footsteps got closer. The faint footsteps came around the corner.

"Rikku, are you ok?" Lulu interrogated Rikku while hugging her at the same time.

"I'm fine, but we have to get out of here!" Rikku exclaimed, "The ship is just down there, come on!"

The group galloped down the corridors until they reached the Celsius. Once everyone boarded the ship Brother took off. Tidus brought Yuna up into the cabin area. There he watched over her intently, watching her every move. Lulu and Wakka were on the bridge along with Kimahri, Rikku and Paine.

Yuna slowly opened her bi-colored eyes. She moaned and looked over at Tidus. Tidus was in a chair snoring softly, mumbling about blitzball or something. Yuna sat up, yawned and stretched out her arms. She pulled the covers off her, wincing every inch she moved. She slowly swung her legs over so she was sitting on the edge of her bed. Yuna slowly stood up and limped over to where Tidus was sleeping, she gently tapped Tidus on the shoulder.

"Mmm…five more minutes," Tidus groaned.

Yuna couldn't help but giggle so she painfully bent down and kissed hid warm pink lips. Tidus snapped his eyes open but quickly closed them when he realized that he was being kissed. When Yuna broke away Tidus put his hand behind Yuna's head and pulled her back in for another passionate kiss. The Celsius suddenly shook violently, making Tidus and Yuna break away, looking around in bewilderment.

"Fa ryja paah red!" (We have been hit!) Brother yelled into the intercom, "Ajanouha nabund du dra pentka!" (Everyone report to the bridge!)

Tidus grabbed Yuna's hand and dragged Yuna down to the lower level of the cabin and went down to the bridge. In the bridge tears were biting at the corner of Yuna's eyes from being dragged all the way to the bridge.

"What do you mean we've been hi-" Rikku began when the Celsius shook violently again.

"The cabin has been hit," Buddy informed.

"Oh no!" Yuna exclaimed, "Barkeep!"

Barkeep was vaporized. The Celsius started into a nose dive, heading straight for the Thunder Plains. The windows shields of the bridge started to crack. Everyone turned there attention to them praying to Yevon that they wouldn't break. As the thought passed through their minds the windows broke sending glass every where. A fragment of glass was heading in Rikku's direction. Rikku jumped up in the air twirled around and kicked it over towards Tidus. Yuna saw what was happening and dove in front of the fragment of glass protecting Tidus. The fragment pierced Yuna's arm like a dagger. Yuna fell to the ground gripping her arm. Tidus knelt down and examined Yuna's arm. It was a really deep gash; you couldn't even see the fragment in her arm any where. Tidus ripped off a strip of his clothing and tightly wrapped it around Yuna's arm. Rikku glared at them and the stormed over to Lulu and Wakka.

The Celsius crashed in the Thunder Plains taking down a few lightning towers. Everyone safely got out of the beat up Celsius. Brother, Buddy and Shinra walked around the Celsius inspecting and recording the damage that was inflicted upon it. There was one enormous clap of thunder. Rikku jumped up and screamed. Everyone just stared at her.

"Rikku didn't you say that you weren't afraid of thunder?" Paine suspiciously interrogated.

"Umm…yeah," Rikku hesitantly answered.

Tidus looked at her, "Something tells me that's not our Rikku."

"Shuyin you won't get away with this!" Rikku yelled.

"Oh, but I already have," Shuyin replied, "Zap her!"

Two goons pulled the lever sending electrical waves through her body.

"Where is everyone? Are…are they dead?" Rikku thought, as her vision blurred, her breath got heavy, and then-black.
