Chapter 11: Chaos Back at Home

I awoke and quickly tried to sit up. WHACK. "Ow," I yelled hitting my head on low hanging stone and rolling off the small stone platform I had been laying on into a thin mist. I groaned slowly getting to my feet. I looked around the place eventually realising that we had fallen through the lake. "I never could figure out if they landed on Sin or just near Sin," I said quietly to myself. Then I saw Rikku poke her head around a corner and quickly hide again. "Saw you," I said still staring off into nowhere. "Aww poopie," she said looking rather flustered as she came out from around the corner, "I wanted to scare you!" I chuckled, "Not gonna happen its hard to scare me," I said rather truthfully, since the only time people could scare me back home was when they didn't even mean to. I then noticed I could hear the hymn of the fayth, it was very relaxing. I then followed Rikku back to the others and had a conversation about how Auron was the troublemaker and apparently acording to Rikku I was a clutz. Now that I thought about it though I had had a lot of bad luck since I had arrived here in Spira.

I continued thinking about my bad luck while the others continued the conversation. Then I noticed something, "What happened to the hymn," I asked. "It stopped," Lulu said after a minute. Then we noticed something, "Sin," a few people yelled in unison. "Watch out for the toxin," Lulu said as I covered my face except for my eyes with my sleeve. They all passed out as I stood there, I tried to get over to Rikku but then I heard a noise from behind me. I turned only to be hit in the head with a large rock and get knocked out.

I awoke to find myself half buried in sand, and my head in terrible pain. I got up rubbing my head and trying to shake off most of the sand. I looked around. Back in Sanubia desert eh, I thought then I turned around and saw something horific. I was only a couple hundred feet from Home which was under relentless attack. I ran straight towards it without even thinking but then stopped when I heard, "Chris, where are you," I looked around for Rikku since I had instantly identified the voice as hers but when I didn't see her I remembered the armlet and looked down at my arm. "Rikku, can you hear me," I yelled into the armlet. There was no response, then I heard, "Chris hurry and find us we're going to take off in the airship soon," my eyes got wide. What, I thought extremely scared now since I knew that they were gonna blow up Home after take off. I ran around trying to think. Oh god, oh god oh god I'm gonna die, I thought running in circles and panicking. Then I heard something fall and hit the sand. I looked down and saw one of my daggers but it looked a little diffrent. I bent over to pick it up and noticed the small hole after the handle was slightly larger then my others.

I picked it up and the sides snapped out causing me to nearly drop it again. I grabbed the sides and pushed it back together again. I felt it snap as I pushed it all the way together. I looked around and noticed a rope not to far away, it was really long and looked like it would suit my plan. I ran over and grabbed it and began to string it through the hole on my dagger. It fit nicely and I managed to get enough through to tie a very sturdy knot. I then noticed the sand seemed to be falling. I realized quickly that it was the hatch that the airship was sitting in. I started running over.

"Chris hurry we're taking off," I could barely hear her over the roar of the battle and the engines of the airship. "I noticed," I yelled back hoping she would hear me. There was no reply. I reached the edge of the hole as the airship reached the top of the hole. "Only one shot," I yelled letting out some rope and swining it around to get momentum. I released the rope with one hand sending the dagger flying up towards the airship. It swung around a random bar and latched on. I pulled my end tight and jumped into the hole swinging down then back up. I managed to grab onto the bottom of the ship and get my dagger back. The ship took off causing me to almost loose my grip. The speed is a problem right now but if I do manage to hang on what's the altitude gonna do to me, but wait Tidus and them survived so I should be fine, I thought. Then I remembered that I was still in trouble. Ack, when they blow up Home they almost get swallowed by the explosion themselves, I thought looking back and seeing the explosion right behind the ship. "Go faster," I yelled even though I knew they couldn't hear me. I suddenly felt like I was very hot and I coverd my face and hung there till I felt cool again. I'm alive, I thought happily then I noticed my leg felt hot. I looked down and saw the leg of my kimono all around my ankle had caught on fire. I quickly used my dagger and cut it off. Then I realized that this would look weird so I cut the other leg and my sleeves as well. Now it appeard as thoughI was wearing a T-shirt and shorts.

I hung on for quite some time but I was beginning to grow tired and was wondering how much longer when I suddenly noticed Evrae the guardian wyrm of Bevelle. It came near and bumped the ship causing me to lose my grip. "I hate you," I thought out loud as I slashed Evrae as I fell by him. I continued falling though. This is not going to be fun I thought realizing that I should use something to break the surface tension ahead of me. I dropped my swords daggers and anything else that weighed a decent amount. I saw my stuff hit the water and prayed that it would work.

MUAHAHAHA. I feel like being evil so im leaving it at a cliffhanger and youll have to read to find out how well my plan worked. Also to anyone who reads this me and my friend have made a joint profile called DJ-sesshfan and we are planning to write a story from 2 perspectives mine one chapter his the next. btw if ur wondering about the surface tension thing I realised it while watching Mythbusters that if u have enough weight hit the water just before u, u can minimize the injury. So anyways pleez review and check out the joint profile if u can but it currently has no stories.
