Garo Makai Dream
ESKK: Hey it's me how's everyone doing. Anyway I am getting very few reviews for this story and I was hoping to get more reviews for it and so far all I have is one review and some likes and favorites it makes me wonder if you guys are even reading this. Anyway leave a review pretty please.
(Start Chapter 4)
Leon found himself at the beach again bit it was deserted as Leon looked and found Zaruba gone. "Zaruba?" Leon asked as he looked around. He knew that this wasn't the time of Full Moon when he gave his life to Zaruba so it's possible this was just a dream.
Leon walked for a bit before he arrived at the docks and looked at the ocean. As he looked a new voice spoke up and it was very familiar to Leon. "Oi Leon what's this I hear about you meeting two girls!" The voice called as Leon looked and saw none other the Germain Luis looking at him as Leon glared.
"Shitty dad what are you doing here?" Leon asked as Germain smirked.
"You didn't answer my question are you trying to build your own harem I'm so proud." Germain said as Leon glared.
"Come on Leon don't let him talk to you like that!" Rikku called appearing next to Germain on the beach.
"He may be your father but you have grown up a lot!" Yuna called also appearing as Leon glared at Germain.
"Shitty dad! I'm not like you, you perverted old man!" Leon yelled as Yuna and Rikku cheered for Leon.
But before Germain could retort Leon came flying with a double kick to Germains face sending him flying to the sky and the only thing left was a twinkle of a star showing he was out of here. Yuna and Rikku cheered for Leon as Leon smirked. Though he respected his father he did not want to be like him in personality.
(Waking world Nighttime)
Leon woke up while shooting up as he looked up but heard Lulu's voice among the snoring of people. "He's dead, okay? Dead!" Lulu's voice said as Leon looked outside to see what was going on.
(Outside)
"He does look a bit like him change the eyes and hair and its will be like looking at a spitting image of Chappu. I was surprised, too, the first time I saw him." Lulu said as Leon looked to see Wakka and Lulu talking. "But no matter what he looks like he isn't Chappu." Lulu said as Leon looked. "You shouldn't have brought him here in the first place." She scolded as Leon saw Lulu was pissed.
"Yeah but… he needed our help." Wakka countered as Leon was glad Wakka had a good heart.
"Excuses again?" Lulu demanded as she wasn't pleased.
"Yeah but…" Wakka tried to defend himself but Lulu beat him to the punch.
"That's it. No more. Enough Wakka!" Lulu said before storming off as Wakka wanted to give chase but he knew he lost to which Wakka sighed.
"Seems like she is producing Inga and by the looks of it, it revolves around this Chappu person." Zaruba said as Leon looked.
"I know seems Chappu is a touchy subject for Lulu." Leon said as he looked at his Madou Ring.
"Yes anyway Wakka is coming this way act natural." Zaruba said as Leon but his hand down to look at Wakka.
Wakka walked in and yelped as he was surprised to see Leon up. "You ok Wakka she seemed pretty upset." Leon asked as Wakka began to walk past him. "So mind me asking who Chappu is?" Leon asked as Wakka looked to Leon.
"My little brother, Chappu. He looked like you minus the hair and eyes." Wakka said as Leon looked.
"He's dead?" Leon asked as he knew where he was going with this.
The two walked into the hut and sat down across from each other before Wakka talked. "He was with the Crusaders when they fought Sin last year. He didn't make it." Wakka said as Leon looked.
"So that's why you didn't win last year." Leon said as Wakka nodded.
"Yeah I first heard on the day of the tournament and well the rest is history." Wakka said as Leon looked. "I became a guardian to fight Sin, ya?" Wakka said as Leon looked.
"You shouldn't focus on revenge it will destroy you and take away everything you love." Leon said having personal experience with revenge.
"That was the idea but I'm more worried about a stupid game now than avenging my brother." Wakka said as Leon looked. "Well after the next tournament I'll be a guardian full time." Wakka said as he looked at Leon. "I know it kind of looks like I'm using you, but I'm not." Wakka said as Leon looked at his friend.
"Don't worry I owe you a dept. of gratitude after all." Leon said as he looked at Wakka. "You helped me so I have to help you in return." Leon said as he had another thought. 'And hopefully remove the flames of vengeance in your heart.' Leon thought before standing up. "So thank you Wakka." Leon said as he put his hand out to shake and help Wakka up.
Wakka laughed a bit before speaking. "Stop, your embarrassing me." Wakka said scratching the back of his head.
(Scene Break the next morning)
*Insert Final Fantasy X HD Remastered OST Yuna theme
Leon woke up as he did a stretch to prepare for the day ahead of him. He had to travel with Yuna to Luca and meet with the Watchdog as well as protect her from Horrors in hopes of curing her of the Horrors blood sense he needed to ask the Watchdog where he can find the fruit that can cure it. Leon picked up the Garoken and placed it under his coat as he looked at Zaruba.
"Ikuze Zaruba." Leon said as Zaruba looked.
"Yeah I've been bored waiting for stuff to happen." Zaruba said before Leon headed out.
Leon ran outside and saw Wakka and Lulu talking as Leon decided to greet them. But Leon also noticed Wakka holding a blue sword with a hook like design, a yellow hilt, and a red band on the butt of it. "Hey sleepy head." Wakka greeted as Leon was before Wakka. "Something I want to give ya." Wakka said as Leon looked.
"The sword?" Leon asked as Wakka showed it and Leon took notice to its hilt which looked well designed.
"Yeah use it well." Wakka said as Leon took it.
'That sword will come in handy I sense elemental magic in it, as well as hidden secrets for enchantments it will come in handy." Zaruba said through the mental link as Leon looked at it. Leon did a few test swings before putting it on his back where it stuck on.
"That's the sword you gave Chappu." Lulu said as Leon looked.
"Well he never used it." Wakka said as he looked at Leon. "Besides that small sword of his under his coat can't do much damage." Wakka said unaware of what the Garoken can do. "Where's Yuna?" Wakka asked as he looked to the side for Yuna.
"We're taking the same boat are we not, perhaps she is just saying her final goodbyes." Leon said as he was also curios as to where Yuna was.
"Yuna came to this village ten years ago, when the last Calm started," Wakka began.
"The Calm?" Leon asked
Wakka just nodded as if that was explanation enough. "Since then, she's been like a little sister to me and Lulu." The Blitzer looked at the woman beside him with a smile, and Leon figured this must be her. "But she had the talent... She became an apprentice. Now, today, she leaves as a Summoner."
Lulu's expression had softened as Wakka spoke. "This is our journey..." She trailed off before continuing. "We should leave together."
There was a crashing sound, and everyone looked over to the temple to see Yuna picking up a large trunk that had fallen down the temple steps. She heaved the trunk up and stood it beside her, sheepishly looking down the small hill at her guardians.
"You really don't need all that luggage," Lulu called across the square.
Yuna shrugged. "They're not really my things," she called back. "They're gifts for the temples we're to visit."
Before Lulu or Wakka could speak Leon interrupted her. "This your pilgrimage not a vacation you should only pack what you need, after all your presence should be gift enough for the temples considering you are going to gain Aeons from them." Leon said as he walked to Yuna as she blushed a little before she spoke.
"I suppose." Yuna said before she left the luggage trunk and began heading to the village exit.
But before they left Yuna looked to the temple as this would be the last time she saw it. Leon stood next to her before he bowed respectively to it as if to thank it for housing him for as long as it did before they left. Yuna did a prayer to the temple before she left and followed Leon.

(Outside the Village)
The group walked out of the village but it wasn't even five minutes before they were attacked by fiends.
*Insert Final Fantasy HD Remastered OST Normal Battle Theme
Leon drew the Garoken and the Sword Brotherhood. "Here comes some fiends!" Wakka called as they were a dog like creature, a flying bird like creature, and a blue blob. "Why not try out that new sword I gave you?" Wakka asked before Leon charged with both swords drawn. He jumped into the air and threw the Garoken at the Fiend stabbing through its back and restraining it before Leon slashed down on it with the Brotherhood killing it. "Not bad, you kept up with him well maybe you should be a guardian." Wakka said as Leon grabbed the Garoken and then a bird like creature appeared. "A Flyer my kind of customer leave it to me." Wakka said before he threw his Blitz ball at the Fiend killing it.
Leon and Wakka looked at the blog before Wakka spoke. "That one is trouble." Wakka said to which Leon spoke.
"Leave it to me." Leon said before he slashed it with Brotherhood which was being held in his left arm but he saw it didn't affect it. Leon then tried the Garoken but once again no damage.
"Told you only magic can affect that thing." Wakka said before Zaruba spoke.
'I could have told you that.' Zaruba said through the mental link as Leon ignored the Madou Ring.
"If you can't beat 'em down, you gotta use magic of an element they don't like." Wakka said as Leon looked Leon was familiar with magic and had seen Elemental Makai Spells when he worked with Makai Alchemists. "Let's have our Black Mage show you how it's down." Wakka said as he turned. "Lu your up." Wakka said as Lulu walked torts the group carrying her doll like it was a weapon.
Clueless, aren't you?" She asked with a chuckled. "Good think I'm here." Lulu said as Leon looked.
"Lulu use a lightning Spell!" Leon called as Lulu was shocked Leon could tell.
"It seems you are less clueless then I thought." Lulu said before she prepared a lightning spell. "Thunder!" She invoked which said spell defeated the fiend. "It seems you know how elements work." Lulu said as Leon looked.
"It's not over yet we have big company coming in." Leon said a large flying creature much larger than the one Wakka defeated appeared as Wakka looked.
"We're going to need an Aeon for this." Wakka said as Leon looked to Yuna.
"Yuna we need the Aeon." Leon called as Yuna nodded.
Yuna then began to do her stance as magic formed around her. "Come forth Valefor!" Yuna invoked as Valefor appeared and began flying and getting into a dog fight with the Fiend.
It was then Zaruba spoke through the mental link as it seemed serious. 'Leon the Horror Blood infection when she summoned the Aeon Valefor I smelled it got stronger a little I'm not sure but I think performing Summoning accelerates the infection and takes time off of how much she has left.' Zaruba said as Leon was shocked.
'Are you sure Zaruba?' Leon asked through the mental link as Zaruba then replied.
'I'm not sure but we should have her use summoning's sparingly.'
Yuna was commanding Valefor who then charged energy in its mouth and fired a beam of energy from it at the ground and when it was done the ground blew up doing damage to the Fiend. The Battle

*Insert Final Fantasy X HD Remastered OST Besaid Island
Leon looked to Yuna knowing that her powers might kill her with the help of the Horrors Blood. He couldn't tell her while there with their friends so he'll tell her on the boat when there alone. As they walked they soon arrived on the ledge to which Yuna and Lulu were looking down upon the village before Lulu Spoke.
"Take your time." She said causing Yuna to look to Lulu before looking back to Besaid Village.
Leon yes was in a rush but he knew he had to wait after all this was Yuna's home for ten years no doubt she will miss it. Yuna walked to Leon and Wakka before Yuna spoke. "Read to go?" Wakka asked as Yuna nodded before she passed the two and Leon and Wakka followed with Lulu not too far behind. Leon saw Lulu not to Wakka before they continue their trek as they soon arrived at the statue from before.
Wakka was praying to it as Leon walked next to him. "It's an ancient custom. People leaving the Island pray here for a safe trip. Chappu didn't pray that day said he'd miss his boat. Leon turned round and saw Lulu and Yuna praying to the statue as well as Leon shrugged and ben to pray to it as well in the way the people of Yevon does it. Wakka stood up ready to go before speaking. "That should do it." And with that the group began walking down the mountain.
*End OST
Leon was up ahead a bit as he walked and soon arrived at the pass with a waterfall but then Zaruba spoke. "Leon we have company and it's not a Fiend or Horror." Zaruba said as from the pillars of the Machina age Kimahri jumped down and landed before Leon. He looked angry as his claws dug into the ground. Kimahri then punched the ground with both fists and stood up which was followed by a roar. Leon drew Brotherhood and switched it to his right hand before taking a battle stance. Kimahri pulled out his spear as Leon didn't know how a being like Kimahri would fight.
Kimahri jumped into the air and Leon did as well before the two engaged in combat. After a couple of seconds of evading and dodging each other's attacks; they landed on the ground.
Leon took his battle stance as he slashed at Kimahri downward which the Ronso dodged the attack as the power behind Leon's slash made a crater in the ground as Kimahri slashed down at Leon from the ground to which Leon dodged the attack. Kimahri then used his spear to propel himself into the air and strike at Leon who back flipped and did a kick to the Ronso which hit as the ground Kimahri hit burst with energy.
As they were now facing each other on opposite sides Wakka and Lulu appeared as Wakka spoke. "That's enough." Wakka said as Kimahri dropped his battle stance and nodded as there was a bruise from where Leon kicked during the fight. Kimahri then walked away as he was silent as Leon had one thought.
"Why did he attack me?" Leon asked as Lulu turned to them and spoke after Kimahri was gone.
"Kimahri Ronso, of the Ronso Tribe. He's learned the Fiends' way of fighting." Lulu said as Leon was skeptical.
"That was not what I asked." Leon said before Wakka spoke up.
"He's another of Yuna' guardians." Wakka said before Yuna's laughed entered.
"Sometimes we don't understand him either. Kimahri doesn't talk much anyway." Yuna said as she walked n and turned to Leon with a shrug. Yuna then walked torts Leon before speaking. "But he has protected me since I was a child." Yuna said before they began to walk to the boat again.
*Insert Final Fantasy X HD Remastered OST Besaid
As they walked Leon enjoyed the scenery as he had very rarely found such beauty in his world. This island was so full of life even if some of that life wants to kill people. It didn't take them long to arrive at the docks as they weren't attacked by many opponents as they saw people there waiting to bid them farewell.

Leon passed by the people as well as the temple Summoner and luckily they weren't glaring at him anymore as the group boarded the boat. As they were on the boat People waved at Yuna as Yuna waved back as Leon was leaning on the wall with his arms crossed. Some people were crying as Yuna had one thought on her mind.
"Goodbye." Yuna said as the boat soon set sailed.
(Scene Break on the boat)
*Insert Final Fantasy X HD Remastered OST Movements in Green
There first stop was Kilika Port as there was a temple on Kilika Island which was about a day's travel from Kilika. Leon was on the deck training as he was trying to get the hang off Brotherhood as so far he's able to do some basic duel wielding with the Garoken and Brotherhood. As Leon stopped to take a quick break his eyes drifted torts Yuna who was walking torts the bow of the ship and she noticed him to which she waved and Leon returned it before sheathing the Garoken and Brotherhood deciding he has trained enough today.
Leon then saw a large crowd of people gathering around Yuna as he wondered what it was all about. 'Seems that Yuna quite popular I wonder why though.' Zaruba said through the mental link as Leon listened in on the people talking.
"Word is that Summoner's got noble blood!" said a sailor.
"Heard she's Lord Braska's daughter!" his friend replied excitedly.
"Ya don't say?"
Leon frowned.
"Lord Braska's... daughter?" The sailor confirmed it with a grunt. The name rang familiar in Leon ears. Wasn't Lord Braska one of the statues in the Besaid temple? He looked around the deck, spotting his trusty Wakka standing by the cabin. He walked over, hoping that the Blitzer could shed some light on this new information.
Wakka had his own agenda, however. "Come to think of it, I haven't told you where we're going!"
'But your team has' Leon thought, however he didn't stop Wakka from telling him again.
"First to Kilika Island, then we change boats and head for Luca. "For that, though, Yuna's gotta pray at the temple. I'll be guarding," he added proudly. "We'll be praying for the Auroch's victory, too, so you come along, ya?"
Lulu sighed loudly, causing both Leon and Wakka to look at her. "Great plan," she said dryly, ignoring their gaze.
"Hey it's a great plan!" Wakka countered before turning to Leon.
"Wakka what can you tell me about Lord Braska?" Leon asked as Wakka looked.
"He was a High Summoner who defeated Sin ten years ago." Wakka said as that was just more information that Leon needed to figure out. "Yuna is the daughter of High Summoner Braska. You saw is statue at the temple." Wakka explained to Leon as he got more information on Yuna. "Yuna is the heir to a great legacy." Wakka said as Leon looked.
"Just like me." Leon said before turning back to Wakka who didn't get hear or get it.
"What do you mean like you Leon?" Lulu asked as Leon looked.
"It's nothing." Leon said before Wakka spoke again.
"Oh yeah did you talk to Yuna yet she had some questions for you." Wakka said as Leon nodded to that. Leon then turned and saw the crowd around Yuna leave before he saw his chance to tell what he and Zaruba learned as well as ask her about Braska. Leon knew he had to be gentle about it as well as quiet sense Kimahri seemed to always be watching.
*End OST
Leon walked torts Yuna as he stood before her catching her attention as she turned to face Leon who then stepped to the side to give Leon some room to stand next to her. Leon leaned on the railing before Yuna spoke. "The wind it's nice." Yuna said as Leon agreed. It wasn't long before the two began to laugh a bit as if the wind was tickling them. Yuna then turned to Leon before she finally spoke. "You're a Makai Knight from Valiante right?" Yuna asked as Leon looked.
"Where did you hear that part from?" Leon asked before Yuna nodded.
"Yes Wakka didn't believe you but I do." Yuna said as she stepped back a bit with Leon looking at her. "I heard that in Valiante it was saved by the Golden Knight Garo three times with the second and third time being the most recent times the Golden Knight Garo appeared." Yuna said as Leon got up and looked.
"How do you know all that?" Leon asked before Yuna looked.
"A woman named Anna Luis told. She was my father's Guardian." Yuna said before Zaruba spoke up.
"That's impossible Anna is in the Makai keeping an evil yet immortal man sealed away." Zaruba said as Yuna looked.
"That's what she was doing but something happened while she was in the Makai, she never really talked about it." Yuna said as Leon was shocked.
"Impossible." Leon said not believing what Yuna said as she looked.
"Is something the matter?" Yuna asked as Leon looked.
"Anna Luis was my mother's name." Leon said as Yuna gasped.
"Amazing." She said before doing the prayer and once done walked next to Leon. "Our meeting like this must be the will of Yevon." Yuna said as Leon looked to Yuna.
*Insert Garo Honoo no Kokuin OST Leon
"It can't be the same person my mother sealed herself into the Makai like Zaruba said." Leon said before Zaruba spoke up.
"Leon maybe you should take it into consideration it's not impossible to be true." Zaruba said as Leon looked.
"I'm sorry if I brought up painful memories." Yuna said as Leon looked. "But Anna said she came into Spira after being dragged into the city of Zanarkand after something took Mendoza's power and chased it to Zanarkand and eventually was dragged into Spira 10 years and 3 months ago." Yuna said as Leon looked.
"Then how would she even get here?" Leon asked as Yuna smiled a bit.
"You are here, are you not?" She said as Leon saw her smile as contagious.
Her soft expression seemed to radiate tranquility, and he could use some of that right now. Yuna giggled as he looked at her, cheeks flushing a delicate pink as she nodded at him. Finally, he realized what it was about her eyes that intrigued him so. They were different colors, one green and one blue, almost as if her body hadn't decided which shade of the ocean it wanted to replicate. Reluctantly, he smiled at her.
Just then, the deck jerked beneath their feet. Yuna cried out as she lost her balance, and Leon was too slow to save her from falling. The deck tipped up on one side and Leon braced himself as he grabbed her by the hand. She clasped her slender fingers around his wrist and held on tight as the port side of the boat continued to tip up. Leon looked up to see that the other passengers were clinging on to different parts of the ship, a shared look of terror on their faces.

*insert Final Fantasy X HD Remastered OST Boss Battle
Leon then felt that tingle in his left arm again as Zaruba then spoke clearly sensing it. "It's Sin!" Zaruba called as Leon held on to Yuna but the water that splashed made his grip slip as Yuna fell to a harpoon launcher.
Kimahri reacted and jumped before grabbing Yuna and holding her. It was then from behind that a fin rose from the water as a sailor had a similar thing to Zaruba.
"SIN!" The Sailor yelled as the boat was soon leveled as Sin was in front of them. It was then that Sailors maned the harpoons as they aimed at Sins fin.
"Are you insane?!" Leon asked before Wakka spoke.
"Stick a harpoon in him and we'll be dragged under."
A sailor turned to Wakka before speaking. "Sin is going for Kilika we got to distract it." The sailor said before the other spoke.
"Our families are in Kilika. Forgive us Lady Summoner." The second sailor said as Yuna looked before nodding.
"Wait!" Wakka called but it didn't stop them "Oh boy." Wakka said before the harpoons were fired and stabbed into Sin.
The Boat was now being dragged by Sin as Leon held on and drew his weapons. Sin then launched his small insect like spawns as Leon had a plan. "Yuna summon Valefor and have it attack Sin we'll handle the small fry." Leon ordered as Yuna nodded.
"Don't Leon it might accelerate the time." Zaruba said out loud as only Leon heard.
Yuna performed her summoning which brought forth Valefor. Once it was summoned the Guardians and one Knight took battle stances before Leon charged and stabbed at a Sin Spawn before cutting it in two.
Wakka threw his Blitz ball as Lulu performed elemental spells to defeat the Spawns. Kimahri was strong as Valefor attacked at Sins fin before Sin began leaning to the left as he was now far away and the waves weren't making it easy either. The Sin Spawns then came at Leon as he slashed at them as Leon saw he had no other choice. He threw Brotherhood at a Sin Spawn where it stabbed into it before he raised his sword Skyward and summoned his armor. One the circle opened Garo stood in Leon's place surprising the Guardians.
Garo slid the transformed Garoken against his wrist creating sparks before he charged at Brotherhood and cutting multiple Sin Spawns at once before grabbing Brotherhood and doing a spin attack cutting multiple at once.
Garo landed on the wooden floor easily before Sin's fin threw more Sin Spawns onto the ship.
"Leon, try hitting the fin." Zaruba advised outload.
"Okay." Garo nodded.
Sins fin began the go back to the center to which Yuna called Valefor back to him. "You'll need him." Yuna said before Garo nodded and mounted Valefor. Sense Valefor's body was skinny Garo had to stand on its back.
When Garo got close to Sin's fin he slashed at it before Wakka threw his ball at the fin as it returned to Wakka thanks to an enchantment.
Lulu followed it up with elemental spells to which Garo hacked and slashed at Sins fin. Sin then swam to the left which Garo and Valefor gave chase and stabbed into Sin. When Garo pulled out the Garoken he roared and did an X slash with his two swords doing more damage to Sin.
Garo and Valefor returned to the ship as he then stabbed the Sin Spawns when Garo jumped off. Garo then decided to finish it before he lit the Garoken with his Madou lighter before crossing the two swords lighting both of them. Garo jumped back onto Valefor before slashing an X and it went flying at Sin before hitting it.
*End OST
Garo returned to the ship but then the Harpoons broke off just as Valefor was dismissed and Garo reverted to Leon. Sin escaped as the ship and its people were ok.
"Leon, I sense something underwater." Zaruba said seeing no point in staying quiet after Leon transformed.
Leon looked down from the ship to the water and he noticed something moving.
It was then that a tentacle shot up and grabbed Leon by the foot before dragging him underwater catching Leon by surprise.
As the water settled and Sin's tail splash Wakka noticed that Leon was missing. He as well as Lulu wanted to ask Leon about that Gold Armor of his and that voice from during the fight. Wakka then looked down into the water and saw that something was moving underwater before he realized Leon was in there. Wakka then dived into the water in hopes of helping Leon.
(Underwater)
Leon looked knocked out as Sins scales were attacking Leon. But before they could make another strike Wakka's Blitzball flew in and hit the Scales killing them as Wakka swam in and caught his ball before pulling Leon away. Wakka then took out a Phoenix Down and used it on Leon waking him up as he was wide eyed.
Wakka gave a thumbs up as Leon returned it just before Dolphins passed them trying to swim away from something. It was then the creature the Dolphins were running away from appeared as it was a Sin Spawn that shared a resemblance to a Jellyfish.
*Final Fantasy X HD Remastered: Boss Theme
Leon noticed some spines around the jellyfish Sin Spawn. Leon and Wakka nodded to each other before Leon swam at the Sin Spawn and began slashing at it. Leon hacked and slashed with his two swords but the Sin Spawn only got angry and whipped at Leon as he avoided the tentacle. 'Careful Leon that Tentacle drains your life force from you and give it to the Sin Spawn.' Zaruba said through the Mental Link as Leon nodded and was then attacked by the scaled.
Wakka sent Dark Shot at the Jellyfish blinding it as its accuracy was now decreased. Wakka then sent his ball at the Scales and one by one they fell with Leon's help but more kept showing up to take their place. Leon then stabbed into the Sin Spawn doing more Damage but it forced Leon off as when Wakka and Leon were floating next to each other he Sin Spawns lower body began to spin as it pointed its lower body at them before it began to do damage to the two as they were caught in the current.
Leon regained his bearing but was hit with the tentacles as it drained his energy as Wakka then took out a potion and used it on Leon causing him to regain some strength. Leon then swam at the Sin Spawn and then did an X slash at it before he kicked Brotherhood deeper into the Sin Spawn. Leon then used the Garoken and stabbed it into the Sin Spawns darkened eyes and stabbing it causing it pain before using both weapons to do an upward and downward slash strike.
Leon slashed the Sin Spawn five times before he slashed it one more time.
Wakka then sent his Blitzball at the Sin Spawn killing it as well as its allies as the battle was won but Sin had escaped as it will cost Kilika. The Sin Spawn blew up in a blaze of glory as it was now dead which Leon and Waka were thankful for.
That was when Leon grabbed his head in slight pain, he felt some foreign images enter his mind it was what looked like machines as a feminine hand worked them as this confused Leon before it ended.

(Kilika port)
The people of Kilika were enjoying their afternoon, children were playing Blitzball, and a woman was holding her child unaware of the danger that loomed. It was then that they noticed a large very large being in the ocean. As it rose the people began to scream for it was Sin and it was attacking. Homes and walkways were ripped off their foundations as people tried to escape. It was like a hurricane, no a force of nature was attacking the town.
At the end of it all the remains were spinning over Sin as in the water a lone Blitzball floated as it was the Blitzball that the child had. The sun was setting at yet another town was a victim of Sin's wrath as Hope seemed far off. The screen faded to black as the image would be burned into the minds of the survivors.
When Sin appeared in my world that day I woke up in Spira I admit kept hoping that if I find Sin again it would work in reverse. But the more I stayed in Spira the more I realized that Spira needs me, no Spira needed Garo.
(Scene Break)
*insert Garo Honoo no Kokuin OST Leon
Yuna looked upon this destruction that Sin had caused with his power. Yuna was sad yes but she was determined to gain the Final Aeon and defeat Sin and pray it won't come back. "I will defeat Sin... I must defeat Sin." Yuna said looking upon the village.
Yes... Spira needs Garo, to shine the light of hope upon them, I knew I had to fight as one who protects and I will complete that mission and defeat Sin for good, that's was a promise I swore to keep.
Leon's head was on Yuna's lap as he looked at her with his piercing red eyes.
It was on the sea under the burning sun that I began to give up on returning to my world and focus on trying to defeat not only the Horrors but Sin as well.
The peopled looked at the destruction Sin caused as this was truth that Sin was powerful.
I may be in a foreign world but my light will shine hope onto it as Garo's name in Makai means... hope. I may be stuck in this new reality but I will not give up hope, I am a Makai Knight the one who has inherited the title of Garo.

The boat docked as Leon walked out. He was already assaulted by questions from Yuna's guardians, he promised he would tell them when they were alone so possibly on the way to the Kilika Temple. As Leon walked he saw the Aurochs helping with repair and recovery as he saw Yuna run out to the people.
"Greeting I am Summoner Yuna I come from the Temple is Besaid." Yuna said as she did a prayer.
"Milady Summoner." One said before Yuna put her hands together.
"If there are no other Summoner please allow me to do the sending." Yuna said as this got Leon curious.
'A sending?' Leon thought.
'Must be some kind of ritual for the dead.' Zaruba guessed through mental link.
"Thanks be to ye." The old man said as Leon stood in the ship to listen.
"Our loved ones we fear they may become Fiends." The old woman said as Leon and Zaruba were beginning to understand what Fiends were and where they came from if only a little.
"Please take me to them." Yuna said before the old couple nodded and motioned for Yuna to follow. Kimahri and Lulu followed before Leon finally got off the boat and lifted up Zaruba.
"We should look into this sending perhaps we might find more information on Fiends and maybe Sin." Leon said as Zaruba looked.
"Took the words straight out of my mouth." Zaruba said before following Yuna.
Soon, Yuna and Lulu were speaking quietly among the mourners. Leon made his way over to them, but Yuna turned and walked down onto a lower dock as he approached. Kimahri stood with her as she spoke with a little old man in a purple vest, holding her staff ready for her.
Leon looked at Lulu before speaking. "What is this Sending are we going somewhere?" Leon asked as Lulu then sighed before looking to Leon.
"You truly are clueless are you sure it's just your memory that's the problem?" She asked as it also sounded like teasing before turning to Yuna. "The dead need guidance." Lulu said as Leon listened. "Filled with grief over their own Death they refuse to face their fate. They yearn to live on and resent those still alive. You see they envy the living and in time that envy will become anger even hate. Should these souls remaining Spira they become Fiends that pray on the living." Lulu explained as she looked to Leon.
'That explains where those Fiends came from.' Zaruba said through the mental link as Leon looked.
"Sad isn't it?" Lulu asked before continuing. "The Sending takes them to the Farplane, where they my rest in peace." Lulu said as Leon looked.
"So Summoners do this." Leon said as Lulu nodded before they turned to Yuna. The two turned to Yuna who did a prayer as Leon watched.
Yuna took her staff as she was bare foot and began walking to the water. Yuna was soon walking on water as below her were many caskets. Once she was in the middle of those Caskets she stopped and began swinging her Staff around in a dance.

AS Yuna's danced continued the torches turned blue as those rainbow spheres appeared. Leon watched as this felt like a funeral of sorts, as he saw Yuna's dance. The Water soon began to rise below Yuna lifting her up as she was surrounded by those rainbow balls. The Sadness was overwhelming as a woman broke down. It was then that the Pyre flies vanished and the water lowered Yuna.
*End OST
The Dance that was the Sending was over as Leon looked a Yuna with sadness as he saw the small tears in her eyes. "It must be tough being a Summoner." Leon said before Lulu spoke.
"Yuna chose her own path. She knew from the beginning what it meant." Lulu said as people were doing a prayer torts Yuna. "All we can do is protect her along the way." Lulu said as she looked. "Until the end." Lulu finally said as Leon looked.
"Until the end?" Leon asked as the way she said it meant something. "You mean until she defeats Sin right?" Leon asked as Lulu nodded to that and walked away torts Yuna.
"I hope... I hope I did ok." Yuna said as she ran up to Lulu and stood before her.
Lulu then hugged Yuna before speaking. "You did very well." Lulu said in the hug. "They reached the Farplane by now. But no tears next time hm?" Lulu said as Leon looked.
I wished there would never be a next time, no more people being killed by Sin. No more Sending's for Yuna. Everyone stood there watching her. It was strange and somehow horrifying. I never wanted to see it again.
(Scene break the next morning)

Leon walked down the stairs as it was morning, an old man was looking out the window, a woman was behind the front desk, and a boy was running around. Leon walked outside and when he did an Auroch ran up to him. "Hey! You awake? Cap'n Wakka's waiting for you." He said which Leon nodded knowing where Wakka was.
Leon walked to Kilika's dock where he found Wakka as the Aurochs were working. "There you are." Wakka said noticing Leon. Besaid Aurochs huddle!" Wakka called before the Besaid Aurochs jumped down. "On to the temple where we will pray for victory." Wakka said before the Auroch nodded as Wakka turned to Leon. "And once we get to the jungle you can explain to us about that Gold Armor and that ring." Leon said as Zaruba spoked.
"I'm not just a normal ring I'm a Madou Ring." Zaruba said as Wakka nodded still remembering Garo from the battle with Sin's fin.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you about the armor since we're all allies." Leon said.
Wakka ran on ahead as Leon followed taking his time. As he walked he soon saw a destroyed hut with a little girl in it crying. Leon reacted and grabbed her before getting out. "Are you ok?" Leon asked checking on the girl.
"Yes thank you Mr. Guardian." She said before running off. Leon understood Blitzball it helped the people forget pain and suffering it gives them hope. Leon then walked over to the forest and saw everyone waiting there for him.
Leon noticed that Kimahri was with Yuna as Lulu wasn't too far away. Leon and Wakka walked over to them before Lulu spoke. "Now that everyone is here explain to us what that armor was." Lulu said as Leon looked.
"It was Garo a Soul Metal Armor passed down for generations, from father to son, from grandfather to grandson and so forth, I inherited this armor from my mother leaving me the duty to battle and seal Horrors." Leon said as Lulu looked.
"Horrors?" She asked as Leon looked but Zaruba then spoke.
"Allow me, Horrors come from a realm called Makai where they enter into our world through items of Inga called Gates, once through they possess humans and devour there host using the body as a vessel to feed on other humans." Zaruba said as Lulu looked at the Madou Ring. "A Makai Knight kills Horrors even when the use human bodies as hosts as sad as it is there is no way to return a human once turned into a Horror."
"So what is Inga little ring?" Lulu asked as Zaruba looked.
"I am Madou Ring Zaruba, as for Inga it's human sin, karma if you will it and the Horrors have existed sense before Sin." Zaruba said as Lulu looked shocked.
"They sound like Fiends to me. But man… who knew that there were monster before Sin." Wakka remarked.
Zaruba looked as he knew Leon didn't want to tell them about the Horrors blood getting on Yuna and how her Summoning abilities were accelerating the spread. If he did no doubt Yuna would be in tears, and her friends would blame him. Zaruba usually would respect Leon's decision and he will for now but if Horrors start showing up to come after Yuna and Leon doesn't spill he will tell them himself.
"Anyway we should head to the temple and get that next Aeon." Leon said as before Lulu cleared her throat.
"Actually Yuna wants you with us." Lulu said as Wakka was shocked as Leon looked to Yuna.
"I want to ask you, to be my guardian like how your mother was my fathers." Yuna said surprising Wakka.
"Are you sure Yuna he has?" But before Wakka could finish Leon cut him off.
"I accept." Leon said as that shocked Wakka even more. "I failed to protect someone once I will protect you Yuna on my honor as a Makai Knight and the inheritor of the title of Garo." Leon said as this surprised Yuna.
Yuna also blushed a bit before getting her composure back. "Let's go." Leon said as Wakka was the last to follow after regaining his composure. This was going to be a long day he knew it.
