Chapter 6: Escape from Luca Part 2
"Auron, do you think Yunie and Tidus are alright?"
"Yes." he says.
"What makes you so sure?"
"Rikku, Yuna is one of the strongest people I've ever known and Tidus can take care of himself. They'll be fine."
"Auron can we wait for them?"
"Yes."
"Okay. I hope they are alright." she says, "Auron, its only thirty minutes before Luca is destroyed. I hope they make it in time."
30 Minutes until sanitization
About ten minutes after Auron and Rikku stopped at the entrance to the Highroad, Tidus and Yuna had finally made it in one piece. Rikku broke out into a run towards her older cousin and Tidus as soon as they came into sight.
"Yunie! Tidus! You made it!"
"Rikku, its good to see you too." Yuna says, hugging her cousin.
"Of course we made it Rikku. Did you think we would let something like this stop us?"
"I was beginning to worry. You all hadn't showed, and I couldn't get up with you on the link sphere. What happened?"
"We had a run in with some of those things and if it hadn't of been for that link sphere one of those things would have taken a hunk out of Tidus' butt."
"Shouldn't we be trying to get up with Cid?"
"Oh, yeah." Rikku pipes in as she runs over to the Comm Sphere. "Machina Man, Brother Wolf, Otacon… this is Machina Princess come in."
"Machina Man?"
"Machina Princess?"
"Shut up guys!" Rikku says as she tries again with the Comm Sphere. After a few minutes she sighs. "Pops, Brother this is Rikku come in?" Still no answer. "Pops, Brother this is Rikku. We are at the entrance to the Highroad. I guess we will be heading on up the Highroad, over."
"Machina Man?" Tidus asks.
"That's Pops' handle."
"Brother Wolf?"
"That's Brothers' handle."
"Otacon?"
"That's the guy who usually handles the communications stuff on the ship."
"Okay Machina Princess, let's go." Auron says as he begins walking, Rikku, Yuna, and Tidus follow. About ten minutes later Tidus and Yuna are beginning to hold hands and every time they think Rikku's not looking they steal a little kiss. Finally Rikku gets tired of watching the love birds and runs up to Auron.
"Auron?"
"Yes."
"Can I walk beside of you?"
"Yes, Rikku you can."
"Auron?"
"What is it Rikku?"
"Do you ever get tired of watching other people who have found their special someone? Do you ever get tired of watching them together… knowing that there could be someone for you like that, just you haven't found that person yet… or you have found that person just that person has never looked at you like that… or that person doesn't think it would work?"
"Rikku, I guess I have felt that way… but it was a long time ago." He says looking at her.
"Auron?"
"Yes Rikku."
"You don't have to feel that way now."
"Rikku, I…
"AHHHHHHHH!" A man yells as he runs past them.
"Hey, I wouldn't go to… Tidus starts, but then spots more people followed by a huge creature coming their way. The first wave of people run past them, then the creature leaps into the air and hits into the last line of the second wave of people knocking them down. It lands and grabs one of the people in its huge mouth then it swallows the person.
"Oh shit!" Tidus says as he grabs his weapon and begins firing upon the creature. Yuna, Rikku and Auron all follow suit. Several minutes later they are close enough to the monster to see that it resembles a Dual Horn, a giant Dual Horn, with an extremely long tongue. It slaps its tongue at them, barely missing. They continue advancing on the monster giving it everything they have got. Finally the monster leaps over their heads and runs off.
"What the hell was that?"
"I don't know."
"I have no idea."
"It looked like a giant Dual Horn." Yuna says.
"Whatever it was, I hope I never see it again." Rikku says.
"We better move. If that thing comes back and we are not prepared…
"I know." Yuna says and begins walking. Seconds later something in the sky flies past them. Everyone looks up and sees a Bevellian Airship flying overhead. It heads towards Luca, drops something several miles away, turns and begins flying back. The group watch as the missile the airship dropped heads towards Luca. Then a loud explosion can be heard, followed by a bright flash of light.
"I wish there was more we could have done."
"Yeah, if we had of had more time we might could have found something."
"Whatever caused it in Luca may have spread any where else by now. If it has, we can do something, but in order to do something we have to be alive."
"Yeah. Lets go see what we can do!" Tidus yells.
"Okay." Rikku says, "If pops heard us on the Comm Sphere he should be on his way."
"Let's go." Yuna says, "We can try and call the airship again from the agency, if Cid's not there by now."
"Yeah." Tidus says. The group begins walking towards the agency in silence. After a while they are in sight of the agency. Smoke is coming from the inside of the agency. Some people are on the outside, shuffling slowly along, and a few screams can be heard from the inside. As the group get closer to the agency the few people on the outside begin walking towards them.
"Uh oh guys."
"What?"
"Notice how they are walking?"
"Yes."
"I don't think those people are human." Tidus says. As the small group gets closer the ex-summoner party begins firing at the zombies. Soon the zombies are all down. Auron and Tidus walk towards the agency slowly, with weapons raised. They make it to the door, but its locked. Inside moans, and screams can be heard.
"Its made it here too." Tidus says as he starts to kick the door.
"Tidus stop! We don't know how many of those things are in there."
"You're right. What do we do?"
"Maybe we could try and look inside through one of the windows, if we don't see to many we could go on in. If there is too many, the next Comm Sphere isn't too far away." Yuna says. Auron and Tidus walk around the building to a window and look inside. Inside is several zombies. Auron backs away from the window and watches them.
"Do you think it would be safe to go in?"
"Maybe." Auron says as he looks again. Suddenly a zombie begins pounding on the window and Auron jumps back.
"Those things aren't very smart."
"I know."
"How do they find us so easily?"
"I don't know, maybe by sight, maybe by smell, maybe they hear us."
"Or maybe somehow they can sense life." Tidus says shrugging his shoulders. Then they hear gunfire coming from the front of the building, followed by several screams. They run back to the front of the building to see Yuna on the ground. Tidus runs up to her and helps her stand.
"What happened?" Auron asks.
"Something, I couldn't get a good look at it, came flying down. I started shooting at it, but it came at me and knocked me down. By the time I got up it was gone."
"Where's Rikku?" Auron asks looking around.
"She was right there." Yuna says. Auron walks over to where Yuna pointed and bends over picking up Rikku's pack.
"She lost her pack."
"RIKKU!" Yuna yells.
"Rikku come on out!" Tidus says.
"Rikku this isn't funny."
"Tidus, Yuna, I don't think Rikku will hear you."
"Why?" Tidus asks.
"Blood." Auron says as he points to a puddle on the ground.
"I guess that thing must have grabbed her."
