A Final Fight
Yuna and Tidus walked close together. Despite her confident stance, Tidus still had the instinctive urge to protect her. She was a capable girl, she was a sweet girl, she was also a sexy girl and he didn't want to let himself get distracted by her short gunner shorts.
He heard footsteps ahead, immediately holding his hand up to have Yuna stop, rounding the corner came Paine and Baralai.
Paine tilted her head. "We found nothing"
Tidus nodded. "Next Cloister then?"
Baralai nodded, "We are on the 80th cloister, we should use this opportunity to take the teleport topside, we can heal up and return here, This may, very well be our last chance before finding Sorin."
"Kimahri agrees." Came the ronso's booming voice.
"Alright, lets go." Tidus said as they all stepped one by one onto the glowing blue platform.
Each person placed their hand onto the warm glow of the save sphere, it felt like a warm bath washing through them restoring their HP and MP, removing all their status aliments. When Yuna opened her eyes she saw a swirl of blue around the base. "Stand back!" She said letting her feet quickly step backward.
Appearing next to the Sphere, Gippal and Rikku stood, both armed and ready for a fight. Rikku's thief outfit showed her smooth, unscarred stomach. Yuna smiled immediately and dove toward her cousin, hugging her tightly. "Your alright" She whispered holding her close.
Rikku smiled and hugged her back, happy to feel her friends safe in her arms again. "Yeah…although if you don't lighten up a bit I might turn blue."
Paine smiled. "You ready to help us kill the bastard then?"
"You bet" She smiled twirling her blades in her hands. "Let's kick booty!"
Wakka just smiled, choosing to be as silent as his blue search partner. It was very good to see her alright. Yet sad to throw her right back into a fight.
It wasn't long after starting the search again that Baralai saw something. "Stop…" he said softly, causing Paine, Wakka and Kimarhi to turn and look at him. He was staring at the wall, his face a little struggling, he could see something but he didn't know what it was, like trying to figure out a magic eye puzzle. He stepped toward the wall and touched it. "Paine, you should go get Yuna…I think I found what we are looking for…" He whispered softly.
Paine followed the sound of giggling down the hall and around the corner.
Rikku and Yuna giggled as they walked ahead of the boys, both of them distracted by the girls energy and cute wiggling rears. Rikku had an evil smile before peeking back at Tidus. "You know you are lucky, your girl here has great breasts!"
Tidus' face went beat red and so did Yuna's. They all looked up at the sound of Paine's voice. "Well Gippal's pretty lucky to have such a hot tight little cutie now isn't he." Rikku's mouth fell to the floor at Paine's sudden appearance and reference to a very embarrassing incident. "Stop dilly dallying, Baralai thinks he's got something."
The platinum haired man touched the wall slowly, exploring the surface until finally his fingers sunk in to a panel and the wall began to glow, long shoots of honey colored string jutted from the flat surface and ran down the wall, they went underneath the mans feel and the floor suddenly opened up, sending Baralai down, down, down with a gasp and short cry.
Paine jumped into the hole immediately, without a thought or a word. Yuna looked at Tidus and he just shrugged. They jumped in, one after another.
When they hit the ground it was soft, and then became hard slowly. Yuna looked around and saw Baralai, walking slowly toward a door. She scrambled to her feet, hearing Rikku right beside her and the other's looking at their surroundings. "Baralai?" Rikku asked, an innocent concern in her voice.
He turned and looked at her. "I'm sorry" Baralai lowered his head. He lifted his hand that shook a little bit. "In there. He's in there."
"How do you know?" Paine asked, her voice softer then usual.
"I remember it, that's where he died." Baralai leaned against the wall. He closed his eyes and held his hands to his head.
Paine frowned deeply and touched his soft hair. "Do you know how to get out? You don't have to fight your own father."
He shook his head. "It…it's memories." He looked up at her and took her hand gently. "That isn't my father, it's alright."
Tidus took two steps forward and walked toward the door. "You don't have to do this Baralai, we can handle this if that is what you need." Tidus understood him, Tidus knew what it was like to fight his father, to have to look at his enemy and say to himself. 'That isn't my father anymore.' He knew it wasn't easy to do or to accept.
Baralai frowned and pushed away from the wall. He'd been on the wrong side of the last battle, he wasn't going to do nothing in this one.
They all went through the large doorway together.
Sorin wasn't even guarded, just stood there, with his bow and arrow, looking straight at them and ready for whatever they had to offer. "Hello son, have you brought your friends home to play?"
Yuna frowned deeply and lifted up her guns. "The witty, yet scripted remarks are getting quite old, wouldn't you say?"
Sorin nodded. "Then let's finish this." He charged. He was much faster the before, whirling his bow around and using the outer edge as a weapon. He slashed at Yuna and she felt her arm slice, she was close enough to see the edge housed a sharpened blade.
Rikku used her sphere change and donned her Mascot Dress sphere. "You can laugh now, but I'll be laughing later" she said with a snicker. Paine and Yuna followed suit, their Hp getting much higher.
Tidus did Blitz Ace, again and again to pull down Sorin's HP, while Wakka helped with his reels, increasing his damage and constantly counter attacking. Kimahri began with mighty guard on the entire party while he continued with Bad Breath to weaken Sorin as well as using Nova.
Baralai and Gippal either attacked or used items to heal the party. Amazingly the single man attacked more rapidly then the party could keep up. The girls used their strongest attacks however it didn't seem to be doing much good. Gippal's aim was extremely good but it was still difficult for him to get a good lock on Sorin. Baralai was having a hard time hitting the quick man.
Kimahari struggled to get hits to land without using his overdrives, while Rikku, Yuna and Paine were lucky to survive the long wait times that their hits subjected them too.
Baralai, felt his stomach sink when he saw the fire red arrow come out of Sorin's quiver. He seemed to move in slow motion, the arrow knocked and left the bow before the boy could remember what that attack was.
He remembered standing behind his father, in that very room, when sin spawn were attacking, they were surrounded, his mother holding him. He was very little. He remembered his father pulling out that arrow and the entire room had exploded in a flurry of light. The charred black walls and the bodies on the floor, they were bloody for a moment. A long moment before the beasts surrounded with swirling colors turned into little pinpoints of light and fell away.
Baralai ran forward and grabbed the arrow from his fathers bow. He felt it slide forward as Sorin tried to release but he was much quicker. He felt his fingers close and swing the arrow around, He drove it into Sorin's shoulder, and kept pushing, down into his chest. When he looked into those deep and hateful eyes, he did not see his father's eyes, something in there was much colder then he had remembered. Baralai closed his eyes tightly, he didn't want to remember his father dieing, not while the mans hand struggled to push Baralai away.
Paine stepped forward about to jump into the same trouble as Baralai when she noticed that Sorin was glowing. The man's mouth opened and light flowed, his eyes burning balls of fire, ripples of energy emitted from the man's chest where the arrow was buried. Baralai stumbled back with the first wave, it traveled and knocked Paine off her feet, the others stumbled, a little farther away. Another wave visibly traveled through the thick air and Sorin grabbed at the arrow, trying to rip the implement out before it exploded, but he wasn't quick enough. His midsection exploded into pyerflies and the hundreds of pinpoints of light pulsed as they flew away. Dissipating finally. What was left was a fiendish looking monstrosity.
It still moved. Covered in slime a much it roared, a painful exclamation from the hole in it's belly. A long tail slinked out from underneath the creature as it pilled on top of itself and made it taller. The thing slithered and stumbled lashing a clawed hand down at Baralai, who lay with his eyes still closed on the floor. Paine let out a scream, it was meant to be the boy's name but it was unintelligible panic, something that got Baralai's attention much more efficiently.
His eyes snapped opened and looked up. He saw the creature and all his reservations melted away. His staff spun and lifted to block the claw, he was only slightly surprised however when Kimahri's Spirit Lance Impaled the beasts chest, Wakka's World champion spun and sliced at the attacking claw, and he could hear Gippal and Rikku firing off rounds without hesitation. He rolled out of the way and when he stood up he saw them all fighting. They never miss a beat now do they? He turned around and dug through his pockets for Mega Potions, noticing no one had bothered to heal before aiding him.
Yuna kept shooting, advancing with a predatory stance that was almost a competition with Gippal. The blonde man's longer legs seemed equal as the both stood face to face with the slimy thing. IT buckled to it's jointed limbs, sinking below and Yuna aimed one gun between it's slimy eyes, Gippal did the same. They stood very still, anger and revenge tangible.
The things wheezing gooey voice echoed out of it, "Mercy…?" It was a question, almost a demand, not begging.
Gippal's frown only drew deeper. "Did you even give Rikku a chance to ask for mercy?" came the deeply seated anger. Both guns fired at one, exploding and ripping apart the skull of the creature, pushing the fiend back onto the steely floor.
They stepped back slowly, not trusting the silence that filled the room. Why hadn't it disappeared. The two looked at one another and fired again, letting a steady stream of lead perforate the dieing mass.
As it finally died, the thing let out a little whimper and the ground began to shake Everyone knew in their gut that this wasn't good, they backed up, and watched as it burst into pyerflies, swirls of light, and another explosion rocked the room, fire and damage rocketing toward all of them.
Paine threw her arms over her face, falling back and felt her Hp deplete as the hot air filled her lungs.
Kimahri held his ground in defense, he felt his body weaken but held strong, but when the air calmed, the beast had dissipated he looked around. Yuna, Rikku, Paine, Gippal, Baralai all were unconscious. He looked at Wakka, down to 1 HP and Tidus barely conscience. The large Ronso sighed. "Kimahri cannot carry everyone…"
Tidus and Wakka just laughed as the hunched on the ground exhausted.
