Hey, I'm going to say thanks for reading this so far.
Uh, in this the BV708 is a Bevellian made assault rifle, it weighs about 15 pounds with the magazine and the BV30 telescopic sight attached. It's the lightest Bevellian made weapon of its class. It can fire up to 750 rounds per minute and the magazine can hold up to 45 rounds.
Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy X, and I never will... Although if anyone has any good ideas for kidnapping Auron... Oh and The Bevellian Biohazard Countermeasures Service members are inspired by Umbrella's Biohazard Countermeasures Service in the Resident Evil games. I do not own the Resident Evil movies or games.
Chapter 4: A Special Appearance
"I hope Yunie and Tidus are alright."
"So do I."
"We can make it out of here. Our summoner party defeated Sin. If we can do that, which we did, we can definitely do this." she says. Auron looks behind them and suddenly begins to run faster. "What is it?"
"Look." he says glancing back again. Rikku looks back and her eyes widen.
"Oh shit, when did they learn to run?"
10 Hours until sanitization:
Auron and Rikku had been running for about 30 minutes without making any progress on getting away from the zombies. The zombies were still behind them, and the more they ran the closer they were getting to them. Rikku being low on mana energy wasn't helping matters much either. It was beginning to look hopeless for the dynamic duo.
Suddenly the link sphere Rikku was carrying began to go off. "Anyone come in! Come in anyone! This is Aircraft 918! Anyone come in!"
"Yeah." Rikku says into the link sphere.
"We are dropping several supply caches throughout Luca under direct orders from the BBCS. Can you read me?"
"Yes, loud and clear 918."
"What's your location miss?"
"We are about a mile from Sonny's Bar."
"Sonny's Bar… good. Can you make it there?"
"Yeah." Rikku says
"We'll drop a cache on the roof of the bar."
"Thanks."
"Its good to hear that someone is alive down there miss. Over."
"Thanks again 918. Over." Rikku says. "Hey Yuna come in!"
"What is it Rikku?"
"Did you just hear all of that?"
"Yes, Rikku we did."
"Well where are you?"
"We are about two miles away from the stadium. We couldn't get in."
"Oh, you can't make it to Sonny's Bar then?"
"No, we are having some problems getting away from these things."
"Yeah same here, you all are okay right?"
"Yes."
"Yuna come in!"
"Yuna here."
"This is Aircraft 918 can you make it the LPD building?"
"Yes I believe we can."
"Good, we'll drop you some supplies as we pass it."
"Thanks."
"Over."
"Over."
"Yuna you still there?"
"Yes."
"Where are we meeting at?"
"Lets meet at the comm sphere at the entrance to the Highroad."
"Okay."
"Rikku, take care."
"We will. You too."
"Punk this is Yuna come in! Punk come in."
"Yuna this is Tom, Punk is… well he's dead. Both Harry and Dick are gone as well. Yuna I, I think I know how this disease has been spreading."
"How's that Tom?"
"Punk he, he was bitten minutes after we separated. Then about ten minutes ago he turned into one of those things, it was the same way with Harry as well, Dick was bitten too and he has died but he hasn't turned into one of those things yet. Yuna I have six shots left, there is about a hundred of those things standing outside of the Mayor's Palace, and I have injured my leg. Yuna if you make it out of here, will you stop this, stop whatever has caused this? Will you bring whoever has caused this to justice?"
"Tom this is Rikku. No more talking like that okay? You're about a mile from where we are heading. Once we get those supplies we will come and get you out of there okay?"
"Rikku, you don't understand. I was bitten also."
"You don't know for sure that being bitten is what spreads the disease, do you?"
"No, but I've seen it happen twice so far."
"Tom just hang in there okay?" Rikku says, "Tom, are you there!"
"Dick no!"
"Tom what's wrong?" Yuna asks, "Tom?"
"Tom?" Rikku asks. A scream can be heard, followed by silence.
"Rikku, hurry!" Auron yells. The zombies have gotten closer to them.
"Okay." she says as she speeds up. A minute or so later she screams.
"Rikku, what's wrong?" he asks as he looks around. Then he sees her laying on the sidewalk. He turns around and runs back to her.
"Auron go!" she says tiredly.
"Yuna would kill me if I left you here." he says softly as he scoops her up. He runs and carries her until they reach Sonny's Bar. "Think you can walk now?"
"Yeah." she says. He sits her down and they run inside. He takes care of the few zombies in the way with his sword, until they make it to the back of the bar. "Auron can you pull that down?"
"Yes." he says reaching up to the thing she was pointing too and giving it a pull. A trapdoor opens and a rope ladder falls down. They climb it and Rikku pulls the ladder up out of the zombies reach. "We should be safe for a while up here."
"Yeah." Rikku says as she sits down beside of the ledge. Auron eases down beside of her and takes off his glasses. "I don't think I have been this tired since the pilgrimage."
"Really?"
"Yeah." she says. "Would you mind if I used you as a pillow?"
"Go ahead, but don't get too comfortable."
"I won't." she says leaning her head against his arm. "Don't you ever get tired?"
"Yes, I get tired."
"Anytime you need to use me as a pillow, here I am."
"I know." he says. She pulls herself onto his lap and begins using his shoulder as a pillow.
"I don't know whether I have said this yet or not, but I am glad you are back."
"Thanks." he says. "In a way, I am happy to be back."
"If I had of asked you to stay before Yuna was performed her sending, would have you stayed?"
"I don't know." he says, "It would have been tempting, but the dead aren't supposed to interact with the living."
"I know that's what Yevon says, but Yevon says a lot of things that shouldn't be taken seriously."
"True." he says.
"Auron, can you stay this time?"
"I don't know Rikku."
"Will you stay this time?"
"I'll try, Rikku. I'll try. You realize I'm only a man."
"To me you're superman." she says smiling at him.
"Rikku… Before he can finish an airship arrives above them. Rikku grabs the link sphere.
"918 come in!"
"This is 918, is this eh, Rikku?"
"Yes."
"Is that you below us Rikku?"
"Yes."
"Good to see you made it. We'll drop the supplies and then head out to our next rendezvous point."
"Thanks 918."
"You're welcome Rikku. Can your link sphere receive documents?"
"I think so. The BBCS member Tom gave us this one."
"Okay good. I'll send you a map of Luca with all the rendezvous points outlined. They will be outlined with letters okay?"
"Alright, thanks 918." Rikku says. The link sphere beeps a couple times and Rikku looks at it. "What does A-3 and T-3 mean 918?"
"Both are rendezvous points Rikku, A-3 means Alpha-Three and T-3 means Tango-Three."
"Okay thanks 918."
"You're welcome Rikku. Over."
"Over." the Rikku says. Then a large box appears out of the bottom of the airship suspended by a long rope, with some kind of mechanical hook. The box begins to fall slowly. Once it is down all the way the hook releases the box and the rope begins retracting into the airship.
"Rikku come in."
"I'm here 918."
"Good luck with getting the hell out of here. Over."
"Thanks 918. Over." Rikku says as the airship begins to move again. Rikku waves at it as it flies away. She runs over to the large box and begins trying to get the lid opened. Auron walks over and uses his sword to pry the lid open. Rikku reaches in and finds a couple of fully packed side packs. She opens one and finds Elixers, ammunition, grenades, and some food, mostly non-perishables. She downs an Elixer and hands one to Auron before moving all the packs out of the box. Beneath the side packs lie weapons. Rikku bounces a bit before grabbing one of the handguns, then she sees another gun, the BV708. She picks it up. "Look Auron."
"I see." he says watching her. She grabs the scope in the box and puts it on the gun. Then she walks over to the ledge of the building and begins trying to aim at one of the zombies. She can't seem to get the scope to be still enough to get a good shot on the zombie she was aiming at.
"I don't like this gun."
"Why not?" Auron asks
"I can't hold it still enough to shoot that zombie."
"That zombie is not bothering you right now, why do you want to shoot it so much?"
"Because as soon as we get down, its going to try and eat me. You don't want it to eat me do you Auron?" she asks looking at him. He sighs.
"Here." he says taking the rifle. "Which zombie is it?"
"The one wearing the green shirt." she says. Auron kneels and looks through the scope, then he shoots it in the head. It falls to the ground.
"Okay." he says
"What about the one wearing the blue shirt?" she asks. He takes aim at it and shoots it also. "What about the one wearing the yellow shirt?" He shoots it as well. About 20 minutes, 90 zombies, and 1 magazine later Rikku stretches and walks away from the ledge, bored. She picks up the another BV708 and looks down through the trapdoor. "Auron how are we supposed to get down past these?"
He walks over to the trapdoor and looks down. "We will have to clear them out." he says laying down with the rifle. "Rikku you are not just watching this time. Get the other scope."
"Okay." she says as she attaches the scope to the rifle. "I'm good to go!"
"Good." he says as he kneels near the door. She follows suit and begins trying to aim, but she can't seem to get it to hold still. She tries again with the same result. Finally she figures it out and they begin shooting zombies.
About 45 minutes later Rikku sits down the gun and stands up. She reaches in her side pack and pulls out a grenade.
"What are you doing?"
"This is going to take forever. Why don't we try something a little quicker?" she says as she looks at her wristwatch. "Its noon."
"Okay." he says as he moves back away from the door. She pulls the pin and tosses the grenade down through the opening. The grenade explodes killing or at least injuring all
of the zombies close to the opening. The next two grenades make it farther into the
building before exploding and taking down several more zombies. After a few more
grenades the last zombie is dead for the second time.
Auron and Rikku climb down from the roof and leave the bar. Then they begin walking towards the entrance to the highroad. For about an hour they walk killing or avoiding the zombies that step into their path. With the guns and Auron's sword the zombies seem to go down pretty easily.
Suddenly something screams from behind them. Rikku is the first to whirl around to see what it is. A man wearing a red coat is standing twenty feet behind them, holding a woman in the air, and tearing out her throat. Both Auron and Rikku rush towards the man in the red coat. Once they get closer they see that he is identical to Auron. Upon sensing their presence the evil Auron tosses the woman's body aside. Then he draws his sword and begins walking towards them.
The good Auron draws his sword as well and gets in his fighting stance. The evil Auron draws near and begins laughing hysterically.
"Its pitiful isn't it? All of the hard work you put into defeating Sin, and now we're here, ravaging your worthless world? Actually its kind of ironic. Your life ended after Sin was dead, and now you are back fighting ME." the evil Auron says, his voice identical to Auron's.
"You're the one whose pitiful for thinking this is a worthless world. ITS NOT WORTHLESS! Spira is full of love, hope, and faith now that Sin is gone. You have no right calling Spira worthless!" Rikku yells as Auron begins to hold her back.
"You know nothing, child." the evil Auron says as he comes closer.
"I'm not a child, I am seventeen years old!"
"Rikku, stand back." Auron says
"So you're Rikku, Princess of the Al-Bhed. Should I bow and kiss your feet?" evil Auron says as he dashes towards them with lightening speed, striking Auron in the side with his sword, and grabbing Rikku. She fights against him as he pulls her away from Auron. "Such a pretty thing, I hate to kill you."
"Screw you!"
"You're a real handful you know that." the evil Auron says
"You haven't seen a handful." Rikku says kicking the evil Auron in the groin. It doesn't phase him. "Turn me loose you, you son of a bitch!"
"Temper, temper. Do try to calm down, this will be much easier if you're not angry."
"Bite me!"
"As you wish." the evil Auron says as he begins lowering his head towards Rikku's throat.
Suddenly Auron's voice can be heard from behind. "Rikku get down!" She does as told and Auron's blade bursts through evil Auron's stomach. Rikku backs away slowly as Auron removes the blade from evil Auron. To her surprise evil Auron doesn't fall, but instead he turns to face Auron.
"Naughty boy, that was not a wise idea." evil Auron says as he pulls his own sword. The fight begins. Both Auron and evil Auron begin slicing at each other, their swords clanking with each hit. Auron dodges a swing from evil Auron and counters with his own swing barely missing. With each swing the sound intensifies and soon each hit sounds like a small explosion. Evil Auron tries to Shooting Star Auron luckily it misses. Auron counters with Tornado hitting pay dirt. Each attack gets stronger until the nearest building collapses from the aftermath of the attack. Finally evil Auron drops his sword.
Suddenly a long blade comes out of evil Auron's arm and he begins to change. Auron and Rikku both stare in awe as evil Auron's regular arm grows into something that looks like a tentacle. Before Auron can move evil Auron lashes out with the tentacle striking Auron across the chest, the attack draws blood. Before Auron can recover from the attack evil Auron is on the move, faster than he was before, heading towards Auron.
Auron grimaces for the pain and readies his weapon for a counter attack when suddenly Rikku speaks, "Hey Auron."
"Huh?" both men says as they look at her.
"Bite this!" she says as she shoots three shots at evil Auron. The bullets hit their mark, but don't do nothing more than knock him back some. Auron thrusts the sword through evil Auron's chest, and then with as much strength as he can muster he performs a suplex. Evil Auron lands hard on his stomach driving Auron's sword the rest of the way through, doing some serious damage to his spine and some internal organs. Auron stands and removes his sword from evil Auron and walks back over to Rikku clutching his side.
Rikku gives Auron an Elixer and the wound heals within minutes. As they start to go on, they notice evil Auron's body is no longer where it was. Auron looks around nervously before taking Rikku by the hand.
"We better move." he says as he begins to run. Rikku clings to his hand and runs as fast as she can trying to keep up with his long strides. After a while of running a loud growl from behind gets their attention. Rikku glances back and sees evil Auron again. He's walking towards them slowly.
"He's behind us again, and he looks pretty pissed off."
"I know." Auron says as speeds up some.
"What do we do?"
"For now we run!"
