Here's the next chapter I hope you all like it. There are a few things I wanted to tell you all. Be on the lookout for subtile refrences to other things that you'll see over the course of the story. Even take a closer look at some of the characters names. For example Vid's (not my creation) full name means Future in Al bhed, and in a similiar vein Canahedo's "Cana" name means Serenity in Al Bhed. Anyways I hope you all enjoy my story, please send any reviews, questions, suggestions, thoughts, ideas, etc. that you have.

Chapter 2: Trust Me

Vid, Cana and Rekks sat in a private cabin on the boat. Vid had Rekks on the floor and was sitting on his back as Rekks cried out for mercy.

"I can't believe you agreed to help this man without evening knowing what he was asking you to do!" shouted Cana

Mr. Kurosawa was out of the room for the moment looking over the small shop that the boat had to offer. Rekks groaned in pain as Vid continued to sit on his back.

"What's the big deal we can ask him when he gets back. The guy needed help who was I to refuse?" gasped Rekks

"Ya treading on thin ice." Retorted Vid as he stood up

"Come on guys be a little open minded. We can handle anything." Said Rekks

Both Vid and Cana frowned at Rekks. The door opened as Mr. Kurosawa came back in putting some packages he got from the store aside. Rekks jumped to his feet smiling as Cana and Vid sat down on a nearby couch.

"How you all doing?" asked a smiling Kurosawa

"We're fine." Replied Cana

"Doing great Mr. K! Say, why don't you fill us in on the details of our mission. My partners here are eager to learn more about what we'll be doing." Smiled Rekks as he took a seat of his own on the arm of the couch Vid and Cana were on

Kurosawa sighed and sat down on the couch across from the others.

"Well I'm the head of a special Archeological dig in the Bikanel desert. We are stationed in the middle of a small village built around the dig site known as Mifune village. Recently we discovered something amazing to say the least." Stated Kurosawa

"What was it?" asked Cana shifting in her seat

"Well we didn't get much time to analyze it because of what happened, but we found a large cavern filled with what I can only theorize as prototype fayth statues." Replied Kurosawa

"Prototypes?" asked Vid

"The marking, designs, structures the make of everything we found seems similar to the statues that were found in the temples all over Spira, but totally unlike anything I've ever seen. We're not totally sure what they are so I called in an expert on Spirain Religious historical artifacts who we'll meet up with at the village."

"So what happened?" asked Rekks

"What do mean?"

"You said something interrupted you before you could really get into your research." Replied Rekks

"Oh yes, well as soon as we uncovered the cavern…….the village was attacked."

"Attacked? By what?" asked Cana

"A large army of fiends we lost count after the first wave of hundred. But, shortly before the attack, I saw a man. He had sliver hair, wore a white cloak and played the flute. I believe he was behind it."

"One man controlin over a hundred fiends, dat sounds a little crazy." Retorted Vid

"I know how it sounds, but it's hard to explain. He came down to the village during the attacked and killed some of the soldiers who were stationed there. He even injured me. I believe he was after something in that cavern, all he did was keep walking toward it, focused. We barely managed to turn him back. Shortly after he left so did the fiends. Most of the soldiers stationed at the village died only about 30 are left, I tried going to Bevelle for help. But they send they wouldn't know when they'd be able to send help. So I went to Besaid in hopes of getting help from the legendary Tidus and Yuna."

"Well don't worry, cuz we're here to help." Replied Rekks

"Rekks a moment please." Stated Cana as she dragged her brother off to the side

"What?" he groaned

"What da hell did ya get us in ta?" whispered Vid as he walked over to them both

"Relax guys it's all under control."

"Under control he wants us take on some super powered freak and an army of fiends. This is officially beyond our control." Stated Cana

"Don't worry. Together we can cream this guy, we're powerful, we got the skills. Trust me we can do this."

"I don't know. Dis sounds crazy." Replied Vid

"How many times do I have to say this, trust me. It will all work out. We'll go to the village, kick ass, then come home and take it easy before you know it."

"All right fine, but when we get home I'm kicking your ass." Stated Cana

"Fine, what about you, bro?" asked Rekks to Vid

"I still don't know bout dis one, brudda. But, I'm wid ya." Replied Vid

Rekks smiled then patted them both on the back before he headed over to discuss more with Kurosawa. Vid and Cana looked at each other and sighed.

"Sometimes I find it hard ta believe you to are related, much less twins." Sighed Vid

"Tell me something I don't know." Retorted Cana

They both chuckled slightly then sat down on the couch again to wait for the boat to reach its destination.

One hour later the boat pulled into the harbor of Bikanel desert. The four of them disembarked from the boat. Kurosawa arranged for them to ride chocobos across the desert to reach the village. After loading up and preparing the birds they headed out of the harbor.

After an hour of traveling through the desert they finally crossed the last sand dune overlooking Mifune village. It was a fairly large village, but still nothing compared to some of the large towns on the mainlands. It was filled with shops, small buildings, fair sized homes, a few farms and in the back of the village a group of large metal structures.

"What are those big metal buildings over there?" asked Cana

" They're processing plants for the farms as well as store houses. The one on the way far left is a shelter. It came in handy during the last attack all the people who couldn't fight were immediately placed in there for safe keeping." Replied Mr. Kurosawa

Vid, Cana and Rekks looked over the village, it was still pretty much in ruins. A few of the villagers were busy rebuilding while others were trying to continue on with their lives. Rekks surveyed the village for the third and took a deep breathe. Rekks couldn't help but feel that maybe he had made a slight miscalculation.

The four of them headed into the village where they were greeted by a group of Mr. Kurosawa's assistance. They all took a step back as the heroes dismounted their Chocobos and stared them skeptically.

"Mr. Kurosawa, welcome back. Who are these people?" asked a brown haired male assistant with glasses

"Kambei, this is Rekks, Vid, and Cana. Rekks here is the son of the Legendary Tidus and Yuna. He's agreed to help us." Replied Kurosawa

"Are you sure he can?" asked a fairly short messy black haired assistant

"Chico please show some respect." Replied Kurosawa

"No worries, Mr. K. I assure you and all your assistant that we are here to kick ass. We're afraid of nothing and no one." Exclaimed Rekks

"He seems energized enough." Replied a red headed female assistant

"That he is Petra. Come, let's all head to the research facility to go over some things. Chico, Kambei get our bags." Stated Kurosawa

"Yes Sir!" they replied

"Mr. Kurosawa the expert from Bevelle is here, she's waiting in the main research tent." Said a slightly over weight assistant

"Good, Britt make sure our guests are set-up with suitable places to stay. Now you three, lets head to the tent and meet with the expert to see what she thinks." Stated Kurosawa

"Great another historical geezer." Chuckled Rekks quietly to Vid and Cana

Vid smirked slightly as Cana rolled her eyes. The three of them followed Kurosawa to the tent. As Rekks entered the tent his eyes widen as he saw the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She had long flowing silver hair, the most amazing hazel eyes and was wearing an elegant black and purple dress.

"Welcome, Miss……" stated Kurosawa unsure of her name

"Rose my name is Rose. I'm here from the Historical division." She replied

"Dude, I think I'm in love. I've never seen anyone like her." Whispered Rekks as he leaned over to Vid and Cana

"You have." Retorted Cana

"What are you talking about?" asked Rekks in disbelief

"She's the daughter of one of mom's old friends. You know, Paine, we meet her years ago at that one get together." Replied Cana

"Time to get reacquainted." Chuckled Rekks as he approached Rose

Rekks smiled at Rose then walked over to her. The two of them shook hands.

"Hello my name is……"

"Rekks, I know."

"No doubt you recognize me as an international Blitzball Star."

"No, we've met before. I'm Paine's daughter and your Tidus and Yuna's Kid. The question is what are you doing here?" retorted Rose

"We're here to defend the village." Smiled Rekks

"You got to be kidding." Smirked Rose

Rekks fumed slightly as Cana laughed.

"I really like her." Smiled Cana

"Hey, we're professional heroes." Replied Rekks

"Well anyways, I've had some time to analyze parts of the cavern." Stated Rose

"Really what did you find?" asked Kurosawa

"Although no records could be found, I believe that your original theory was correct. The design of the statues seems to predated the more well know Fayth statue." Replied Rose

"So what do you think this Yul guy wants with the cavern?" asked Rekks as he took a step closer to Rose

She rolled her eyes at him, then turned on a nearby console projected a map of the cavern.

"Although we haven't explored all of it yet, we used the equipment here at the dig site to figure out the general area of the cavern. It's fairly large so almost anything could be hidden in there, more statues, weapons, who knows?" replied Rose

"How would he even know anythin bout the cavern. Where da hell did he come from?" asked Vid

"We wish we knew." Sighed Kurosawa

"How long would it take analyze all of the cavern?" asked Cana

"It's hard to say. Some of the equipment needed was damaged in the first attack and it would take time before new equipment arrived. So waited to see what kind of help Mr. Kurosawa would bring before I ordered it." Replied Rose

"Dose anybody know when Yul, will return?" asked Rekks

"He didn't say. He only said he'd return and that it would be worse." Answered Kurosawa

"How long ago was the first attack?" asked Cana

"Just about a week ago." Replied Kurosawa

"Maybe he's dead?" said Vid

Just then Chico burst into the tent panicked.

"Mr. Kurosawa! He's back!" exclaimed Chico

Vid groaned as they all rushed out of the tent. They looked up at the top of the hill overlooking the village to see Yul standing there. Kurosawa looked at Yul shocked, he looked the same as when he first arrived, virtually unharmed. Rekks pulled out his guns and checked them one last time, before he ran off toward Yul.

"Wait!" shouted out Cana

Rekks didn't listen and continued on. Yul lifted his flute to his mouth and began playing his song. A large army of fiends appeared behind Yul he then commanded them to charge at the village head on. Vid gripped his Blitzball then headed off after Rekks. Cana pulled out a dress Sphere as Rose did the same thing. They smiled at each other and nodded.

"Great minds think alike." Smirked Rose

The two women powered up the spheres transforming into their warrior outfits. Cana wore the exact outfit her mother wore and gripped the Brotherhood sword. Rose wore an outfit similar to the one her mother used to wear only with a short black skirt instead. The two women followed after Vid and Rekks straight toward the oncoming fiends.

Kurosawa ordered that anyone who could fight be sent out immediately to guide all the non fighting civilians into the shelter. Rekks opened fire, immediately killing two fiends right away. He jumped out of the way as one came at him from the left. Vid threw his Blitzball taking down one of the fiends. Cana and Rose brought up the rear slicing down two more of the fiends as more and more kept coming.

Quickly the heroes became over whelmed by the number of fiends. Rekks ducked out of the way of another fiend as it charged forward and destroyed a nearby shop. Rekks growled angrily as he gunned down the fiend, but ways caught off guard by another who knocked him down. Rekks rolled over and pumped the last of his bullets in to it. Rekks quickly tried to reload as he dodged another incoming attack.

Vid used his ball as a focus and began casting various black magics to start thinning through the number of fiends. Vid cast an ultima spell destroying 12 fiends all at once. A flying fiend rushed straight at Vid forcing him to jump out of the way. Vid tossed his ball knocking out the fiend. Vid scrambled to find his ball, a fiend jumped in front of him. Vid jumped back then cast a fira spell burning the fiend alive. Vid grabbed his ball then used it to kill a fiend just as it leaped right at him.

Cana slashed away at the fiends when she saw a little girl fall down. Two fiends rushed over to the girl and cornered her. Cana ran over to the girl slashing the two fiends to pieces. One of the fighting villagers arrived to drag off the girl to the shelter.

Rose sliced down a fiend as she saw another one start knocking down a building . Rose rushed over to it and sliced it clean through. She turned around as more fiends rushed over to the buildings. Rose headed over to another small group of fiends and cut them down. A fiend came at her from the left side, Rose whipped around and swung her sword killing the creature.

Yul watched as the heroes began withering down his fiend army. He smirked slightly as Rekks gunned down two more of the fiends continuing his trek up the hill toward Yul. Yul put his mouth to his flute and played an even fiercer song than before. A group of flying fiends gathered together. Yul pointed his flute at them as they began to glow, suddenly the heroes heard a loud roar as a massive fiend, Evrae, appeared.

Rekks hit the ground as Evrae flew over his head. One of the fiends, a coeurl leaped out and bit down on Rekks' arm. Rose rushed over to him and sliced the fiend's head off. More fiends appeared Rekks opened fire killing as many fiends as he could before he headed back to the village. Rose followed him, they looked up to see Evrae use its tail to decimate a couple of the buildings as it moved closer to the shelter.

The heroes grouped together trying to catch their breathe as they fought off the hordes of fiends.

"You guys try to hold off these guys. Protect the village, leave the big guy to me." Rekks shouted as he ran off after Evrae

Rekks raced through the village in pursuit of the massive beast. Rekks leaped on a cart then used it to leap up to and grab the edge of the roof of a nearby building. He worked his way up to the building then continued running across the rooftops after the beast. Rekks pointed his gun, but he still wasn't close enough. He tried to jump up to another r building, nearly falling down, but he managed to scale it and continued his chase.

When he was close enough Rekks opened fire on the beast gaining his attention. Evrae turned around roaring at the hero as it rushed at him. Rekks cast Haste on himself, then jumped to a nearby building as Evrae's tail swept down knocking into the building destroying it. Rekks aimed carefully then opened fire on the beast's head. Evrae lunged at Rekks taking a large bite out of the building as Rekks leaped out of the way. Rekks shot Evrae in the eye causing the beast to scream in pain and smash his head into the building.

Rekks took this moment to leap on the creature's back grabbing a hold of one of it's horns. Evrae rose into the air and began thrashing about trying to throw Rekks off. Rekks aimed at the creature's head and fired with one hand while the other held on for dear life. Evrae screamed in pain as Rekks emptied bullets into it.

Evrae then dipped low heading for a tower near the outskirts of town. The creature hit the tower head on sending debris everywhere. A piece of metal came flying at Rekks knocking him off, Rekks let go of one of his guns. He tried to grab it as he fell but failed. At the last second Rekks grabbed a hold of Evrae's tail.

The creature began thrashing his tail around wildly. Rekks held on as tight as he could. Finally he let go and fell down hard onto a nearby roof. Evrae circled around making one last lunge at Rekks. Rekks aimed his gun at the creatures head as it crashed into the building. Rekks tumbled down to the ground dropping his other gun losing it. Rekks then hit the ground, he scrambled to his feet as Evrae broke free from the ruble roaring loudly.

Rekks looked at his hand to find no weapons. Cana ran in and slashed at the creature taking it off guard. She then handed Rekks the brotherhood as she transformed into her samurai dresssphere. Evrae lunged at the twins one last time as they both side stepped its attack and slashed at the monster finally bringing it down.

"Thanks." Rekks breathed out

"No time, we need to hurry there's more fiends. The other can't handle this many." Replied Cana

The twins rejoined the others helping them cut down another group of fiends. Rekks stared up at Yul playing the flute and ran straight for him. Yul guided fiends into Rekks' path, but Vid backed him up with a few black magic spells clearing the way.

Rekks jumped up at Yul, who side stepped his attack. Rekks kept swinging at Yul who kept dodging his swipes. Yul transformed his flute into a sword then swiped at Rekks. The attack was almost too fast for him to see. Rekks ducked under the attack then continued to swipe at Yul. Yul merely blocked the attacks then punched Rekks right in the gut.

Rekks fell to his knees in pain. Yul brought down his sword trying to slice Rekks in half, but he rolled out of the way just in time. Rekks leaped to his feet and swiped at Yul only for him to block the attack once. Again Yul powered up a red energy blast in his other hand then hit Rekks with it head on. Rekks cried out in pain as he fell back rolling down the hill. When he hit the bottom, Cana rushed over to him to see if he was ok.

Rekks smiled slightly, trying to make it to his feet, but he found himself injured. Yul fired three more energy blast at the heroes. Vid helped Cana move Rekks out of the way as they narrowly avoided the blasts. Yul then gripped his blade with both hands as he charge the sword with energy. Yul slashed downward as a wave of energy came barreling down toward the heroes.

Rekks shifted to his feet, he stood ready to block the attack. He looked up into Yul's eyes, then fell to his knees. Cana looked up as everyone prepare for the blast to hit. Suddenly her eyes turned glowing white as she rushed in front of her brother and became enveloped in a glowing white aura. She blocked the wave of red energy with her sword, defending everyone. The cavern began to glow as Pyreflies flew out. Yul glared at the glowing Cana as everyone watched her in shock. She flew up into the sky transforming into her Floral Fallal dress sphere with the pyreflies surrounding her.

Yul tired to back away, but Cana's eyes began to glow as the sand began to wrap forming massive stone pillars blocking Yul's path. Yul slice down the two of the pillars as more began to appear around him. He turned back to face Cana and angrily hurled a blast of energy at her. The Pyreflies circled around her forming a shield.

Cana held out her hands creating a powerful orb of white energy. The pyreflies surrounded it leading the orb their strength. Cana fired the blast directly at Yul. He tried to block with his sword but found himself becoming increasingly overwhelmed by the strange power. Yul cried out in pain as the blast hit him full on.

Yul fell to his knees fried as Cana reverted back to normal and fell from the sky. Vid managed to catch her before she hit the ground. He checked her over panicked as she showed no signs of movement. Rekks rushed over to his sister and desperately checked her for signs of life. He sighed with relief as he realized she was just unconscious. Rekks looked up at Yul.

"Cana, Cana, please be alright." Cried out Vid desperately

"I'm still not strong enough." Lamented Yul as he looked down at his hands

He stayed there on his knees, still in shock from Cana's attack. Rekks gripped the brotherhood tightly as he ran over to Yul. He angrily dug his sword into Yul's shoulder. Yul cried out in pain.

"You bastard!" exclaimed Rekks

Yul angrily punched Rekks in the gut knocking him down then removed the sword from his shoulder. He forced himself to his feet, grabbing his flute. He played a single note causing all the fiends to end their rampage and leave the village. Rekks coughed as he looked up at Yul.

"I'm still not strong enough. But I will be. Two months, two months from now I will return to this village, stronger and with more fiends. Be ready." Stated Yul

Yul turned his back to Rekks and walked away back into the vast desert. Rekks tried to make it back to his feet, but fell face first into the sand. He turned his head to see the village lay in smoking ruins.

He looked down as Vid clutched the unconscious Cana close to his body nearly crying. Rekks looked at Rose who turned away from him not daring to look him in the eyes. Rekks pounded his fist on the ground in anger.

The tears began streaming from his eyes as he soaked everything in. The plain simple fact was: He failed. Rekks pounded his fist in to the sand harder and harder as more tears streamed forth.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Were the only words that he could say
