Chapter 5: The Two New Dragoons

Lulu continued to pill the woman until Tidus was a small black dot. She slowed down and let go of the woman's hand.

"I'm sorry," Lulu said quietly. "But we had no choice. Sin would've eradicated you had we not shown up."

The woman frowned. "I was doing fine." She said with a hint of anger in her voice.

Lulu shook her head. "Whatever. I'm still sorry. Oh, and by the way, my name is Lulu, what might yours be?"

"My name is Tifa." She responded dully.

"Well Tifa, I think you should show more respect to Tidus over there." She said pointing over to him. She then looked around and then sat on a rock. Lulu set her doll down and sighed, placing her chin in her hands.

The violet stone in the doll's hands started to glow. It slowly lifted out of its hands and into Tifa's. Tifa stared long and hard at the stone. It was like nothing she had ever seen before. It almost looked like materia to her.

Tifa stared at it more. "What are these for?"

"I'm not sure." Lulu replied.

Just then, an army of men and women marched by them. They all held staffs. The woman who appeared to be in charge walked up to Tifa and Lulu.

"Citizens of Zanarkand," Her voice was strong and loud. "Please evacuate the area. We will fight that monster."

Tifa turned to walk away, but Lulu picked up her doll and walked in front of the army. "I am going to help. This is my fight, as well as my friend's. This'll be fun."

"No!" The woman shouted. "We will handle this! Now move out of our way before we get violent."

Lulu burst out in laughter. "Let's see your violent side!"

The entire army charge Lulu. "You asked for this!" The head woman yelled.

Tifa jumped in the way and did a roundhouse kick. In a flash of violet light, she was in a two-piece set of armor. Like Tidus, she had wings mounted on the top part of her armor.

Tifa kicked the entire army away. She gazed at the sight of all the people falling over. She laughed and shook her head. This was all amusing to her. She could control the armor as if she had had it for a long time.

"Why don't we even the odds? Lulu, concentrate and use the armor. I can control it easily. You should be able to as well." She said as she flew next to Lulu.

Lulu nodded and closed her eyes. She envisioned the armor, the wings, and the power. There was a flash of purple light and Lulu was in a two-piece sat of armor. She had wings like the other two. She spread her wings wide and smiled. Her doll was engulfed in purple and black flames. Its sword grew bigger.

The head Summoner gestured for action to cease. "One moment…you two…you are the ones mentioned in the prophecy!" She seemed amazed at their dragon armor. "It is said that a creature of the sea will rise one day only to be vanquished by dragonic beings."

Lulu closed her eyes for a moment and gave a sigh. "We aren't here to fulfill a prophecy, just to destroy Sin."

Tifa shook her head at Lulu. "No, I am here to find Sephiroth."

Lulu frowned. "But for the time being, you will help us fight Sin."

"But I need to find Sephiroth."

"Forget Sephiroth, Sin is here now!"

"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"

Lulu slapped her across the face. "You will help fight Sin."

Tifa touched her cheek. It was red with a faint handprint. She whimpered softly and a tear ran down her other cheek. She smiled and slowly nodded.

Lulu looked down. "Sorry, I guess I didn't need to hit you."

Tifa shook her head. "No, it is my fault. I should help with Sin."

Lulu lifted off the ground and turned to face Sin. "Coming Tifa?"

Tifa gave one good nod and flew up next to her. "Lets go get him!"
