Thats right the next chapter is the last one! And I'm thinkin about doin another sequal...but I'm not sure yet I'll tell you in the last chapter. Well R&R!

Gippal jumped in front of Rikku and the bullet went right into his stomach. Rikku's eyes widened and filled with tears of melancholy and anger. She tackled the guard and after she gracefully took him down to the ground she pulled out one of her blades and beheaded the guard. Rikku sprinted back over the Gippal.

"Why did you do that?" Rikku cried.

"I…promised…I w-wouldn't…let a-anything…h-happen to y-you," tears trickled down his cheek as the pain in his stomach increased.

"You didn't have to risk your life for me, you're such an idiot!"

"I l-love you," Gippal said just before he fell into unconsciousness.

Rikku picked Gippal up and started to run back to Macalania, Yuna turned around and shouted, "Where are you going!"

"I'm going to take Gippal back to get him some help!" Rikku shouted back, "You guys go on! We'll catch up with you later!"

"Alright, let's go," Nooj said taking off down the long path leading to Bevelle headquarters.

Everyone ran after Nooj trying to catch up but found it very difficult too. Once the group caught up with Nooj in the labyrinth, he led them to the huge door.

"This is it," Nooj announced.

"Yeah," Tidus chimed ion, "Vegnugun is in there too."

"I don't think I'm ready for this," Yuna said backing away.

"Don't worry Yuna, you got me and Lulu and Wakka and Kimahri and Baralai to protect you," Tidus said hugging Yuna tightly.

"Your right," Yuna said looking up into Tidus' light blue pools.

The group took in a deep breath before they opened the door to what could be their last battle. Tidus kicked the doors open. As the doors opened everyone ran in shouting like maniacs. When they noticed that there weren't any goons in the room they lowered their weapons and turned to face their biggest threat-Vegnugun. Sitting atop Vegnugun was the tormented soul of Shuyin. He looked upon them as if they were nothing but a pebble in his shoe. He leaped down and swooped into Baralai's body.

"B-Baralai?" Paine stuttered.

Baralai walked calmly by Paine and the rest of the group. He climbed up on to Vegnugun and started to play the music that sent chills down your spine. Everyone focused their attention on Vegnugun, who began to move as Shuyin played. Lulu pulled the group into a quick huddle.

"Ok Paine and Yuna; you guys take care of the tail, Wakka and Kimahri; you guys take care of the core, Nooj, Tidus and I will take care of the leg. After we defeat the tail, leg and core we will all go to the head," Lulu instructed.

Everyone nodded and rushed off to do their jobs. Paine and Yuna rushed off to the tail to find it waging in merriment. Paine took the first swing and made contact with it. Yuna pulled on the trigger of her pistols and fired several rounds. Vegnugun's tail lifted high into the air and swung at Paine. Vegnugun's tail hit Paine sending her into the wall behind her.

"Paine! Are you ok!"

"LOOKOUT!"

Vegnugun's tail swiped at Yuna sending her beside Paine.

"Yuna, you ok?" Paine asked spitting out blood.

"Yeah," Yuna said slowly getting to her feet.

Paine got to her feet and charged at Vegnugun's tail. With a few swipes of Paine's sword and many rounds of bullets Paine and Yuna finally defeated the tail…or so they thought. As Paine and Yuna walked away Vegnugun swiped at Yuna's head.

"YUNA!"

Yuna let out a howl of agony. Paine rushed over to Yuna. Paine gently shook Yuna but all she got was a painful groan. Paine spun around to face her opponent, by herself. Paine picked up her sword, sighed and attacked Vegnugun.

"I got to get this over with quickly," Paine thought as she leaped over Vegnugun's attack.

Paine backed up and hit something; she quickly spun around on her heel to see that Rikku was standing in front of her.

"Need some help?" Rikku casually asked pulling out her blades.

"Let's get this over with," Paine said turning back around and running up to Vegnugun's tail.

Paine jumped into the air and drove straight down into his mighty tail, leaving a deep puncture hole. Rikku swiped at the tail making several gashes.

"This isn't getting us any where," Paine spoke, breathing heavily.

"I could try to dismantle it," Rikku suggested.

"Go for it, I'll keep it busy," Paine said continuing with their fight.

Rikku climbed onto the tail and started to dismantle it. Paine was extremely exhausted and it was getting hard for her to dodge Vegnugun's attacks. Even though Paine was tired she kept on attacking.

"Are you almost done?" Paine questioned nearly dodging Vegnugun's attack.

"Almost!" Rikku yelled.

"Hurry up!"

"Ok!"

Paine swung her sword and missed. She fell to one knee trying to quickly regain her strength. Vegnugun swooped its tail at Paine.

"DONE!" Rikku shouted victoriously.

Inches away from Paine's face Vegnugun's tail stopped and collapsed to the ground defeated. Paine slowly walked over to Yuna who was coming back to consciousness.

"Are you ok Yunie?" Rikku interrogated.

"Yeah, what about Vegnugun's tail?" Yuna asked standing up.

"We're done here, let's go," Paine said walking farther up Vegnugun's body.

When they reached the leg everyone was badly injured and couldn't continue. Lulu, Tidus and Nooj; told Yuna, Rikku and Paine to go on ahead and help the others. They rushed up to the core where Wakka and Kimahri lay unconscious. Before they kept going they prepared themselves to encounter Vegnugun's head and Shuyin. While Paine and Rikku were resting Yuna went ahead up to see Vegnugun's head.

"So…you finally came, I've been expecting you," Shuyin's voice said through Baralai.

"Yes."

"Let us begin!"

Yuna took her fighting position and started to attack Vegnugun's head with several rounds of bullets.

"Dr.P…"

"What?"

"Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"It sounded like gun shots."

Paine and Rikku looked at each other and immediately knew, "Yuna…"

"Yunie…"

Rikku and Paine darted up the rest of Vegnugun's body to help Yuna in the battle to save Spira. When they got there, Paine immediately charged at Vegnugun and swiped at it.

"Yunie, what were you thinking taking on Vegnugun and Shuyin by yourself?" Rikku interrogated pulling out her blades.

"I just wanted to see if I could do it, but I sure am glad you guys showed up," Yuna said giving Rikku a weak smile.

"Rikku, do you think you could dismantle this thing?" Paine questioned leaping backwards from Vegnugun's assault.

"Yeah, but it'll be harder," Rikku replied climbing atop Vegnugun's head.

"Yuna, we're going to have to distract Vegnugun so Rikku can get the job done faster," Paine told Yuna.

"Right, let's do it!" Yuna shouted firing at Vegnugun.

Paine stabbed Vegnugun and leaped back to where Yuna stood reloading her pistols. A melody flowed from Vegnugun's organ and the whole room began to shake like an earthquake. A gigantic gun shot out of Vegnugun's body, aiming right for Spira.

"Soon, Spira will feel my pain for the past1000 years!" Shuyin shouted through Baralai.

"Rikku hurry up!" Paine screamed.

"I'm going as fast as I can!" Rikku hollered.

Rikku's hands were going faster than ever before, trying to figure out the quickest way to stop Vegnugun before Shuyin could kill everyone in Spira. Yuna and Paine kept on attacking. They never stopped no matter how tired they were.

"DONE!" Rikku bellowed.

"NOOOOOO!" Shuyin shrieked coming out of Baralai's body and stopping feet away from Yuna.

"Shuyin, please listen to me," Yuna said.

"Lenne, I just wanted the people who caused us pain to suffer," Shuyin said getting closer to 'Lenne.'

"They don't need to suffer," Lenne spoke through Yuna, "They need forgiveness, just come with me so we can live together forever."

"Lenne, you know that," Shuyin stopped speaking and quickly backed away, "You're not Lenne!"

"Wait!" Rikku yelled.

"Shuyin, just listen to me, please!" Yuna begged.

"No!" Shuyin said getting ready to fight, "You must SUFFER!"

Shuyin tackled Yuna. Yuna punched Shuyin, whose lip was now bleeding. Paine and Rikku looked at one another amazed at Yuna's strength.

"I know what that feels like," Paine thought to herself.

Shuyin got off of Yuna and kicked her right in the stomach. Paine pulled out her sword and sliced Shuyin's back. Shuyin spun on his heel and side kicked Paine's head. Rikku whipped out her blades and went crazy. She sliced at Shuyin like she was chopping up food. Shuyin was now on his knees and Yuna aimed her pistol at him to end him for good. A glow of radiant light and some pyreflies surrounded Yuna. Then Lenne stepped out of Yuna.

"You must stop this, Shuyin," Lenne said caressing his golden locks.

"Lenne?" Shuyin questioned looking up at her.

"Come on Shuyin, let's go home," Lenne said taking Shuyin by the hand and walking into a bright light, "Thank you Lady Yuna and Gullwings for taking me back to Shuyin."

YRP just nodded and waved goodbye.
