A/N: Thank you to all who reviewed. I'm so glad that everyone likes it. If any one knows a site where I can get a really good picture of gippal please tell me in a review. It's so hard to find a good picture of him. Well any way here's the next chapter.

Chap5

(Rikku's pov)

It was taking a while for Gippal to come back. I was starting to get worried. All of a sudden I heard an explosion, and the inn shook.

'Oh no Gippal, father!' I thought to my self.

I had to get out of here; I had to see what happened. I slowly got out of bed and using the wall for support I made it out into the hallway. I had to stop and take a breath. The pain in my side was increasing. I slowly made my way to the entrance of the inn. The inn keeper was missing. I opened the door. When I did all I saw was dust and dirt every ware. I coughed. I couldn't see anything. After a few minutes the dust cleared and I could see. I started walking outside very carefully.

"Gippal!" I cried. "Gippal where are you!" I yelled getting scared.

I saw a figure coming out of the dirt and dust that still lingered in the air.

"Gippal!" I cried out again.

"Rikku!" I heard him cry out as he started running towards me.

I tried to run to meet him, but the pain in my side me stop. He met with me and held me close to him.

"Rikku, your alright, Oh thank Yevon, even though I don't believe in him, I'm glad that your alright."

I laughed at his comment about Yevon and said "Me too Gippal, I'm glad your alright. What happened?"

"I don't know. I was seeing your father off; yes he's ok, when I heard an explosion. I came running to see if you were alright when I saw this." he said handing me a piece of paper.

It said…

'Full blood Al Bhed beware, I will find you and kill you all.'

"Gippal do you think this person is the reason for their being so many powerful fiends on Mushroom Rock Road? To attack and kill al the Al Bhed that come this way?" I asked.

"Could be, but we can't stay and find out. We have to get you to safety. Maybe we can ask your cousin if she can hide you until you get better." He told me.

"You're coming with me. I'm not leaving you behind. I love you Gippal and I don't want anything to happen to you." I said with the saddest and most pathetic look I knew.

"Alright I'll stay with you until you get better." He said falling for the face. "We'll call the airship." He said picking me up and carrying me (oh by the way every time he picks her up it's bridal style) to the blue sphere by the inn. He was about to call the airship when we heard it hovering above us. It landed and opened the landing so we could board. My father was the first to meet us at the landing.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Cid we have a problem. Someone is out to kill all of the Al Bhed." Gippal said handing him the letter.

"What are we going to do?" He asked.

"Rikku and I are going to Besaid until Rikku gets better. You Cid are going to raise the alarm to all the full blood Al Bhed and set up a secret safe house for them until we can figure out who wants us dead." Gippal said.

"But why do I have to?" Cid asked.

"Because you lead us before when we needed some one to help us. Now we need some one to help us again. That is why you must step up and be our leader again. Everyone one will trust you." Gippal said.

"Alright, fine I will. Brother, Buddy full speed ahead to Besaid." Cid ordered.

"Yes father." Brother said rather reluctantly.

"I'm taking Rikku to the cabin to get some rest." Gippal said.

He walked to the elevator with me still in his arms. When we got to the cabin he carried up the stairs and laid me down on one of the beds.

"Hoe do you feel?" He asked sitting next to me on the bed and moving some hair away from my face.

"Alright. Just tired and sore." I said.

"I can imagine. Well just get some sleep. Ok." He told me.

"Sure." I said through a yawn.

"I'm going to talk to your father about what's going on." He said as he kissed me on the forehead and left the room.

(Gippal's pov)

'I had to help Cid figure out what was going on. If I couldn't help fight until Rikku got better then I would help figure out who was behind all of this.' I thought to my self as I rode the elevator back down to the bridge.

"So Cid any idea who could've done this yet?" I asked.

"No not yet. But I'm thinking it's someone who is half Al Bhed." He said.

"Why do you say that?" I asked.

"Well the note said 'full blooded Al Bhed beware.' So it would make sense. The person probably got mistreated when they were a child, and wants revenge."

"But it's not our fault that he's half Al bhed or that they got treated unfairly." I replied.

"True. But look at it in their perspective. If the Al Bhed followed Yevon's teachings he probably wouldn't have been tortured."

"Well how do we find out who's responsible for this then? There can't be too many half Al Bhed out there. Or is there?" I asked.

"I don't know. We'll have to try to figure a way to get all of the half Al Bhed together and pretend to be taking a survey to see how much they like or dislike being half Al Bhed. That way we can narrow the search. By the way do you know what caused the explosion at Djose? It didn't destroy the temple, just the machina and probably all of the people inside." Cid asked.

"Yea I do. It was a new type of weapon we were creating. It hasn't been tested yet though. It was called a Machina Blaster Bomb. It was meant to only destroy machina, not to destroy people or buildings, like it did. But the reason why it killed everyone was probably due to the fact that most definitely our stock of the Machina Blaster Bombs has been set off when the first one was. The explosion was probably too much for any one to survive." I explained.

"Why were you making that in the first place?"

"Because Rin asked us to in case the machina went haywire again. Also just for the satisfaction of knowing that we could make it." I answered.

"Hmmm I guess that's a good idea. Well any way don't you contact Yuna to let her know your coming?" Cid suggested.

"Sure" so I walked over to where the comm sphere and connected to Besaid. When the image connected I saw a baby with red hair crawling around the village. Then the sound connected and I heard Wakka calling hi son's name. Suddenly I saw Wakka chasing the baby around Besaid village. Lulu walked out of the tent next to comm sphere laughing slightly at the sight before her.

"Hi Lulu" I said.

She looked down at the sphere. "Oh Gippal right? How are you?" She asked kindly.

"I'm fine. But I uh see Wakka's not" I said trying to contain my laughter.

She laughed. "Yes ever since he started crawling Wakka's been chasing him around he house and the village. So what ca I do for you?"

"Is Yuna around? I need to ask her a question."

"Sure. Hold on a minute and I'll go get her." A few minutes later she came back with Yuna right behind.

"Hello Gippal. You said you had a question for me." She said.

"Yea, to make a long story short, Rikku and I are back together and she's hurt. We kinda need somewhere to hide for little while. Can we stay with you at the village?"

"Yes of course" She said.

"Thanks Yuan we'll be there shortly." I said. I disconnected the comm sphere just as we got there."

"I'm going to get Rikku now. Thanks for the lift." I said as I left to go get Rikku. I found her there still asleep in the cabin.

"Rikku." I said waking her up. "Where here."
