Chapter 22
Jay Looked aorund at Junon as they entered the slums of the city. Boca shivered slightly. Jay gave her a reassuring pet on the neck. "Its been awhile since i was here." Zack Said.
"I imagine its only been a slong for you, as its been for us." Jay said. Emria laughed slightly. it had taken them three days to get form mythril mines, to Junon. Sare rode up Beside Jay. As they approached the elavator, they were halted by a WRO guard. "Sorry. no chocobos allowed on the elevator." He said.
"Is their another way we can have them transported up there?" Emria asked.
"Well yes. we have a very specific lift for vheicles, and chocobos over there. You can meet up with them at the top." the Guard said.
"Thanks." Jay said. Jay and the others led their chocobos onto the chocobo and vheicle lift. boca warked slightly in protest, but Jay gave her a pet on the beak. "It'll be Ok." Jay said soothingly. boca Seemed reassured, and got on the Lift. though it was clear she didnt like it. Then, the group got on the Elevator, and went up.
As the Elevator grinded to a halt, Jay suddnely heard an explosion, and a roar. Jay Rushed out and saw another portal! and from it, A behemoth was emerging! WRO troops were now opening fire on it. It roared and sent a freball from its mouth, and into a large group of soldiers! Sare took a step back. "We cant fight that!" He said, obviously terrified. Jay looked down at her side, and drew the masamune. Emria looked at Jay.
"you rnot fighting that thing!" Emria said.
"Not up close anyways..." Sephiroth hinted.
you thinknig what im thinking? Jay thought.
"Do it." Sephiroth said. Jay braced herself, and swung the masamune! A drawslash flying form it. the behmeoth turned, and suddenly collapsed as the Slash cut through it! The portal was still shimmering, and open. the WRO commander looked to the group. "Did you kill that thing?" he asked.
"yes." Zack said.
"I Dont have enough men alive to investigate that thing. Do you think you could go in there and investigate sir?" He asked.
"Sure. but im taking my students with me." Zack said, signaling to Sare and Jay. Sare was about to protest, when he understood hat zack meant. Emria looked at the portal with worry. then at Jay. Jay leaned up, and whispered: "Dont worry, If i killed that thing in one hit, i bet i ccan survive whatevers in there." jay followed zack as he entered the portal.
there was what felt like a massive gust of wind, before Jay faded through the portal. What she saw, Stunned her. A MASSIVE city... In ruins. loating energies danced aorund in a slow, aimless flight. "what happened here?" Sare asked as he came through.
"beats me." Zack said, crossing his arms. Jay looked around. as she looked, She saw someone walking through the ruins. A women, in a white top, with a blue skirt which went down to her ankles, and brown hair. "Hey, look." She said, pointing. Zack looked. "huh?" He looked to the women as she approached them. "hello. Who are you?" the women asked.
"the names Zack! these are, jay, and Sare. My students." Zack said. Jay looked at him with a slight irritated look.
"Must be pretty new. How'd you get here?" she asked. Zack looekd behind him. "Im no expert on the matter, but i think we came from over there." He pointed into the portal.
"Oh... theirs been allot of those showing up around here lately." the women said.
"Whats your name?" Sare asked.
"OH! where are my manners. I'm Yuna." Yuna replied. She looked at the city.
"what hapened to this place?" Zack asked.
"it was destroyed by Sin. Long ago. this place also happened to be the home of a very Close friend of mine..." She trailed off.
"What is it?" Zack asked.
"Hes gone now..." yuna said sadly. there was a moment of silence.
"Im sorry..." Jay said. "but, What is sin?" She asked.
yuna stared at them confused. "Well..." Before yuna could speak, the potal began fluxuating! Zack looked at it. "Well, Its been nice chatting, But we gotta run!" He grabbed jay and sare and dashed for the portal, and went through, just as it closed.
