Chaos Factor Chapter 15: Of Speed demons, and an Ancient Prophecy
After thw gullwings split again, Gridion, Garik, and Paine rode to the show of Djose. However, just a minute before Paine got off her Ski-doo, the nitro engine knocked out. She tried to start it up, but to no avail. Gridion then went back to get her.
Gridion: Damn. My favourite Ski-doo, has broken down. Oh well. Paine, I'll get you and it back safely.
Paine went onto Gridion's Ski-doo, while Gridion attached a harpoon to it, to bring it back. Gippal, the machina faction leader, was on shore.
Gippal: Good to see you guys are safe.
He hugged Gridion. Paine didn't understand that. Garik simply smirked.
Gippal: Talk to me Grid. How's my nephew doing?
Paine: Nephew?
Gridion: Yeah. I guess you guys were bound to find out. I'm half Al Bhed.
Gridion then removed his contacts. One of his eyes was actually pure red, and had some dragon scales around it. The other eye, was an green Al Bhed eye.
Gippal: Much better. Though there are more scales around your eye. Further in evolution?
Gridion: Yeah. We have a problem. One of the Ski'doos I own. The nitro engine just died.
Gippal: Which one?
Gridion: The one we built.
Gippal: Damn. Well I'm assuming you've started your pilgrimage, which is why you're here. Don't worry. I'll fix it up no problem. Don't want it to lose it's speed now, do ya?
Gridion: Nope.
Gippal: Before you get Mithos, I have done some research in this temple. I found some interesting things on the black sphere.
Gippal led them to the temple. In his own private office built in the temple, one floor below the fayth. Gridion read some notes. It was translated.
Gridion: I know most of this stuff. But there is an interesting little fact i didn't know. It's a piece of a puzzle, that will ring back the one who created Spira. Yu Yevon had it, but he didn't become the god. So that's why he created Sin.
Gippal: Yep. Well, Who knows. You might be the god it's talking about. Thought I shouldn't-
Garik: It's okay. Gridion told us about his true heritage.
Gippal: Oh. Well, you have survived many things which could kill a normal person.
Gridion: I don't know. Oh well. I've held it in my hands before, but nothing happened.
Gippal: Probably because you don't know how to use it.
Gridion read a few more pages.
Gridion: Mind if I keep a copy of this.
Gippal: Please. It's yours. Now go and get the aeon.
Garik then stood up.
Garik: Gippal...sir. Garik has a question.
Gippal: Okay. Ask.
Garik: Would it be to much if Gippal taught Garik how to fly an airship?
Gippal: Hmmmm. Very good question. Well I have a simulator just for such an occasion.
Gippal and Garik left.
Paine: Hmmmm. Didn't see that one coming
Gridion: I know. I'll be back.
5 minutes later... Paine saw the door open. Next thing she knew, Gridion was right in front of her. His hair was a bit shaggy. Also, the colour of it was now white, and not black.
Paine: Wow. You look...different.
Gridion: Yeah. I'm not stronger, but much faster. Unfortunately...you may just have to deal with a Rikku for a couple of days.
Paine: Great. Just what we needed.
Gridion: Hey hey, don't be such a meanie.
Paine (thoughts): Oh crap. I'm never going to relax now.
Gridion: Sorrrrry. I know you don't like the hyper types. But It will last only a couple of days, or before I'm out of gas. Really, it will.
Paine: Then run out of gas.
Gridion just stepped back a bit. Later...
Gippal: Sorry, but it will take a few days to repair it.
Gridion. That's okay. The north moonflow isn't to far from here. Paine and Garik got on theirs.
Paine: You coming?
Gridion: Yeah. See Uncle Gippal.
Gippal: Later kid.
Gridion ran out a bit, then back. He was testing a theory. He was so fast now, that he could run on water.
Garik: Garik is amazed by that.
Gridion: Let's go.
The three of them took off to the north Moonflow. It only took about a couple of hours. The two ski-doos were now in rental space.
Gridion: I sense something in Guadosalam. I'm going on ahead. And if I see any Guados killed without my permission, I'll kick your assk Garik.
Garik: Garik would like to see you-
Gridion answered with a quick, but very powerful kick to Garik's gut.
Garik: Under...stood.
Paine: We'll be fine. We'll meet you in the thunder plains.
Gridion: Ooooooo. I wanted you guys to come with. But it is probably for the best. But first. One kiss.
Paine: Okay
The two quickly kissed, before Gridion sped off.
Garik: Good...idea.
Garik got up. He regained his composure.
Garik: Gridion has grown very strong. Perhaps strongest being ever seen. Stronger then high summoner Yuna.
Paine: It's possible. But Yuna is still very strong.
Garik: Good thing to. Garik says we need all the power we can get. Chaos will be very tough.
Paine: Indeed. I wonder if we can revive Sin, as an aeon.
Garik: Garik wouldn't even think about is. Sin is evil. Sin deserves to remain dead. Sin is far worse then any guado.
