Chapter 7: The Power of Sin
I had a hard time sleeping that night. I tried to remember what happened and what to do, every last bit. I regrettably remembered Seymor, Beville's lies, and who we would meet. I also remembered that Sin would attack tomorrow, and I stopped to rest in preparation.
I woke up along with Lin and Tidus. Mike was still asleep, which I kicked him off to wake him up. Or I would have, but the boat violently rocked and threw Mike off before I could. We heard a man yell up on deck "SIN!". That's our cue. We charged on deck to see Sin attacking us. I didn't bother waiting for Lulu to yell out how to beat them as I quickly yelled out "Hey! If your able to, Hit the fin with everything you have got!" The two people went up to the harpoon guns. I quickly casted Stop on one, which I wasn't quite sure why at the time, and took aim at the fin with my rod. Sin was surprisingly close to Kilika already, I didn't want to let him also kill us along with it. I wondered if I even had enough power to cast this, but I took that risk. "Flare!" A perfect hit, but not enough to kill him off. I realized something then, Why was it always 3 scales? Shouldn't there be like a rain of… Scales then fell all over the ship, hatching quickly …monsters… ah damn it. From this, I readied my gun, and with me and my friends destroyed the other scales. By the time we finished, Sin was free of the harpoon, and bound for Kilika while were were left with a major quaking on the boat. Tidus fell off with Wakka, and surprisingly, Lin fell off with Tidus…
Lin's POV
What just happened… I was fighting that thing, and then… oh my god… I froze at the sight of Tidus and Wakka, who were facing the Sin Spawn. I just watched in fear… I wondered if it would hit me, or one of it's fish. I couldn't move, I prayed that they finished quickly, as I couldn't hold my breath much longer. I felt… alone, hopeless, weak, there was too many emotions that I felt. One word described it all though, the thing I wanted most.
Help…
I just watched the fight, still holding my breath. Suddenly, a the Sin Spawn jolted in pain, then started to burst into colorful lights.
Jack's POV
"THUNDAGA!" I yelled, with my rod stuck down to the iron chain. The thunder rocketed through the rope and hit the Sin Spawn, Which easily killed it. Moments later Wakka and Tidus came back to the surface, with Lin gasping for air in Tidus's arms. We got them back on the boat…just in time to see Sin destroy Kilika…
"Is… that's… the strength of that thing…." Lin asked.
"Yes. The strength of Sin." Lulu said.
"My god… just look at this…"
Kilika was in ruins. No one from the boat really could say anything. There was many people mourning, many coffins floating in the water, and pyreflies all around.
"Lady Yuna! Thank goodness you're here, as we thought that our loved ones would become fiends!" a woman that ran up to us said. "If there is no other summoner here, then I will send them." Yuna said. We walked over to the remains of what might have been a dock, then Yuna walked onto the water.
"Send?" Mike asked "What the heck is that?"
"You truly are clueless, are you four sure that Sin's toxin is the only thing wrong with you?" Lulu asked. "The sending takes the pyreflies to the farplane."
"Farplane? Some ship?"
"No Lin, the farplane is a place where all the souls, or pyreflies go when someone dies and is sent. If they aren't sent, then they have a chance at becoming a fiend overtime."
"Um, how does that happen"
"I believe that your friend has explained enough. The dead admire the living. But this admiration becomes wanting, that becomes disliking, even hate, which then makes fiends from the pyreflies."
This sadness, I forgot it then, but this jogged my memory. It felt weird, to be the only one not fearing this, and it probably looked weird too. I had to admit though, Tidus's description of it was quite remarkably close. It made me never want to see this again, and to never relive this pain again. I can't believe I would be doing one of these later.
Lin's POV
That night… It was so hard to sleep. That sending, being in this world, helpless, afraid, and not knowing what was to come… It was so horrible… I can't believe that we made it this far. But still, that scene… the death… that is one of the most horrifying things that I have seen throughout this…
We woke up relatively early that morning. Tidus saved a kids life on our way there, she was crying because she lost her mom and dad. I wondered if I would ever see them again. I wondered if we would even make it back home ever again, and if we did, what would happen to us... and them.
Me and Mike were a little later than everyone else, which we regretted because we missed a somewhat large talk.
"I… would like to have them as my guardians."
"Woah, hang on there. The only one who actually is sure fire guardian material is that hat kid (He's talking about the huge black mage hat FYI). I mean Tidus n Lin may be blitzball whiz kids, n Mike might be lucky with that sword of his, but those guys are newbies when it comes to fighting!"
"Not guardians...but I want them nearby."
"What do you mean?" Tidus asked.
"Well..." then Yuna got lucky.
"We're all going to the temple anyway. Can't this wait until later?" Lulu breaks in.
"Fine." "Sure." "Whatever." "Yes."
Then we just kept going (not very far mind you), until…
"Company, halt! The fiend before us is known a Lord Ochu! We had trouble with this one." Two people said in front of us.
"Lets try a different route, there is no point in us to go th- What are you doing?" For some reason, Jack just passed through them, stopped near the monster, aimed at it, and yelled out "FIRAGA!" In a quick two seconds, Jack had just obliterated a HUGE monster on his own.
Me and Mike were, to say the very least, AMAZED. And we weren't the only ones. ALL of us was speechless when he was walking back like nothing happened. "Anything else?" he asked, with a slight smirk on his face. The only thing that I heard someone say was Wakka saying something about Jack being a good guardian. And by just watching that, I would have to say that was a severe understatement.
One somewhat short travel through the forest (Jack said that we should take on whatever comes to us instead of him, so somewhat short) we got to the temple. Or a huge staircase at least. "Oh god… We have to climb THAT!" I couldn't help blurting out. Lulu started to the staircase "This is nothing compared to the length that we must travel." I couldn't help but flopping down and cussing a few times.
Jack's POV
I have to say, everyone did look at me weird when I obliterated the Ochu. Of course, they should have had the complete feeling of surprise from that. I killed a big opponent in a second or two at most. Anyway, we were climbing the stairs of hell, then I just remembered. That tutor guy. I quickly ran ahead over to Mike and Lin, leaving Tidus alone for story time. Mike asked me then "Jack. You know everything that happens here right" he asked silently, so only the three of us could hear. "So why haven't you tell us what everything that happens, then we would be prepared here?" "Yeah, I was wondering the same thing." "Well, you know that Sin toxin thing? It made me forget everything that was in this world, an I'm slowly remembering everything that happens." "Damn. Well, let us know if you remember something that we might need or want, 'kay?" "Sure Lin."
We just noticed that we were getting left behind, and Tidus started up around with us. He suggested a race, and I just remembered something "important". "On your marks! Get Set!" Then Me and Yuna took off, leaving the others behind.
We beat everyone to the top easily, because we cheated no doubt. I stopped at the end and looked back for Lin and Mike. They finished faster than Tidus n Wakka, so I was glad I could tell them this alone. "Hey guys, another Sin Spawn thing is ahead, so get ready for fighting." "Yeah. Oh and by the way, you and Yuna getting a head start is something I consider important." "Shut up Mike."
We made it to the part with the Aurochs running like cowards from the Sin Spawn, which only the three of us were really ready for. The three of us just shot and sliced at the first tentacle before it even had much of a chance. Tidus tried to attack the head, which after that I quckly told everyone that we had to take the other tentacle down first. The head actually was a total pushover, as it couldn't shift around, so we just hit the back side of it. Then it did started to twitch and hop around to face us, which I knew just wasn't good.
"Um, Jack, why is that thing shaking like tha-AH!" Lin said right before the head actually jumped out and started to swallow her. I couldn't hold it in, and I yelled "LET GO OF HER YOU SPAWN OF HELL! GIGAGRAVATRON" I was somewhat lost in rage, and I had no control over my actions. I think my sphere grid took over of my actions for this, because I just charged like crazy toward it, and jumped over onto the top of it's head, aimed down, and a bright purple flash bursted from my staff, a small sized one about my size, into the skull of the Sin Spawn. It wasn't completely ripped to shreds, but it still was dieing. In it's dieing moments, it choked on Lin, forcing it into coughing her up and suddenly bursted into pyreflies. I got sent flying from it, but I didn't feel anything. All I was wondering was how I did that. How I harnessed the power of Sin. I hit the ground and started to slip away from consciousness.
Well, chapter's complete. I actually was planning on making this longer, but meh. Anyway, It's onward to more plot explanations… ERM I mean, events in the story. Yeah, lets go with that! Now I will quickly run away before I give away that I have a illegal stack of nukes in th-DAMN!
BTW:I will be out of town for 4 days. But like I would update within 4 days from now XD
P.S. Still looking for some writing hints, please keep in mind that this is my first FanFic.
Subnote: My comp went lame again and crashed this. Twice.
