Morph Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 As soon as I heard Seymour's name, I felt like I was going to pass out. The voices were still there, they wouldn't stop. "I...I need some air" I got up and went outside. The voices. I felt so dizzy. I couldn't take it anymore. I fell to the ground...unconscious. What was happening?...
Ms.Croft Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Posted January 23, 2007 "I think Seymour may have returned." I looked back down to my plate and continued eating. "That's cool! He was great two years ago! I knew it musta been someone good!" I looked up and smiled at the others. Half of them were looking at me dubfounded, the others were staring at Auron dunbfounded, "What?" I said with a mouth full of fish. Lulu stood up and walked towards me. She sat on the table and stared at my eyes. "Seymour was not the man everyone thinks he was....Tetsuna." Her voice carried a chill with every word. "He tricked Yuna into marriage, attempted to kill us, reformed as a monster to kill us again, and again and again...he's the biggest threat we faced! He eventually got inside Sin, where we could finally defeat him at last." Lulu's eyes widened suddenly. She turned to Auron, "You don't think..." I knew what she was thinking...was he trying to revive Sin? Destroy the Eternal Calm? Suddenly, Yuna got up and rushed outside. "YUNA!" The group shouted simultaneously. Lulu went to move, but her baby began crying. She looked at her baby, then to the door. "Lulu," I stared at her in the eyes, carrying a chill with my voice, "I'll check it out." With that, I rushed outside to Yuna's aid. I looked around and spotted her lifeless body on the ground. "YUNA!" I rushed to her aid and kneeled by her side. "Yuna! Wake up!" I cursed myself and then remembered the dress sphere. I touched the node and transformed into a White Mage. With that, I pointed my stick over her head and prayed for her safety. My stick glew in the sunlight and then a healing calm washed over her head. I prayed to Shiva that she would be alright.
Morph Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 I felt magic washing over me, but still, I did not wake. Did I die? Or was I just dreaming? I was in the Farplane. "What's going on?" I yelled in frustration. "Evil has arisen Yuna" Came a voice from behind me. I turned quickly "Bahamut?" "Come to us Yuna. Aid us again" Bahamut said. "Who has come back?" "Seymour" "Why, what does he want" I never got my answer. Everything around me began to fade into dark. The next thing I knew, I was laying in my bed. Worried faces were all around me.
Blade Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 I stood by Yuna's bed. Lulu, Wakka, Tetsuna and Rikku also were present when she finally woke up. Yuna looked around and said "What happened?" I was about to answer, but Lulu cut in "You ran out of the house after dinner and we found you unconscious outside. Tetsuna did a healing spell on you. Wakka carried you in here to your bed." Wakka then said "Praise be to Yevon you are alright." Yuna then said "I had the strangest dream. I was in the Farplane and Bahamut was there also. He said to me to come aid them again and that Seymour had returned. I asked him why, but I didn't get an answer." I then said "Maybe you will have to go back to being high summoner, Yuna. If we're to have any chance when we face Seymour again, we need the Aeons with us."
Morph Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 I thought about Auron's words before I replied "I need to...rest" I sighed "Sir Auron, Rikku, you're both welcome to stay here if you like. I have the couch and an extra fold out. Could you please make sure Tetsuna gets home safely for me first?" I asked standing up following everyone to the door "Goodbye Wakka, Lulu" I said giving them a hug "You too Vidina" I said and gave him a little peck on the cheek "Goodnight you guys" I said as they started home. Auron and Rikku were taking Tetsuna home "Thanks for coming Tetsuna. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight" I would've smiled but I just didn't have it in me. After they left, I quickly put some blankets on the couch and rolled out the other bed, where I put more blankets. I finished just in time as Auron and Rikku walked back in. "Goodnight" I simply said and went my room where I closed the door. I layed on my bed, and, for some reason, I cried. For the first time in a while, I just layed there and cried. I hoped Auron and Rikku couldn't hear me. Eventually I fell asleep.
Ms.Croft Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Posted January 23, 2007 I walked into my home and looked around the place that was shrouded in darkness. I sighed taking off my Father's robe and placing it on the coat rack. My Mother was sound asleep in the room next to mine saying things about my Father. What had happened tonight? To Yuna? To the Farplane? It was all going wrong, was Auron right, could Seymour actually be back? The room was dark, "Fire...." I muttered weakly holding my finger out. It lit up, illuminating my path towards my bedroom. Slowly, I discharged the spell and lay on the bed. "Yuna..." I managed to utter before my eyes collapsed...was she going again?
Blade Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 After what had transpired this evening I wasn't able to sleep just yet. I went outside and walked down to the beach behind Yuna's place. I stood near the waters edge and the water raced up hitting my sandals. I looked out to the horizon and a full moon shined in the sky and I thought "I hoped the Calm would last longer, but Seymour doesn't want us to have a peaceful life. Spira and its people don't need to suffer anymore. I hope this time when we face him, it will be the last time." I turned around and headed back to Yuna's place. When I got back I stood at the door as if I were guarding.
Morph Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 I woke up to the sounds of birds. It was still early in the morning. "Yuna..." "Alright. I'm coming" I whispered. I got up and quickly pressed a node on my Garment Grid. I was now wearing my Thief Dressphere. I quickly went through the house. Sneaking past the still sleeping Rikku and...Auron? Auron wasn't there! I quickly looked out the window. He wasn't there. So, I quickly went out and ran up the stairs of the temple and into the Cloister of Trials. I finished the puzzle and made my way to the Chamber of the Fayth. The door closed behind me. The statue of the Fayth was back, and it was glowing again. It meant they were back. I went and did what I did 2 years ago. I prayed.
Blade Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 I came around the corner of Yuna's place and saw someone dressed as a Thief running into the temple, was that someone going in to steal something. I had to go in and investigate. When I got in the temple, the door leading to the trial was still open. I went on in and found the trial had been completed, which meant this person was in the Fayth. I went on and stood outside the door to the Fayth and waited on the person to come out.
Morph Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 The Fayth stood before me "Thankyou Yuna" she said as she gave me her power. The force knocked me, and I landed on my back. "Ouch" I said getting up, I was drenched in sweat. I made my way to the door as it began to open. I walked out completely exhausted. I remember feeling the same way two years. I just hoped I didn't fall this time. I noticed someone else in here with me. "Sir Auron!" I gasped "I didn't think anyone followed me here" I smiled. "They are back" I said shortly after, making my way down the steps.
Blade Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 I saw Yuna come out and said that the Aeons were back. I was puzzled as I saw her outfit and she said "Oh this outfit, I had to change into it to get in here quickly. I didn't want to alarm anyone. You must've seen me running in and thought it was someone else. Sorry about that." I replied "No need to apologize. So I guess the pilgrimage is about to start over again." Yuna walked up next to me "Yes, it does appear that way. We need to get everyone together and tell them about this." I nodded "If your done here, we should be getting back outside." I walked with Yuna back up the steps from the Fayth.
Ms.Croft Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Posted January 23, 2007 My eyes adjusted to the light, as the blurry vision of my room came into view. Outside the small archway, Mom was in the kitchen, preparing some breakfast for me and her. I got up, and out of the bed stretching. "A new dawn..a new day!" I said to myself as I walked to the kitchen. "Hey Mama, what's cooking!" "Some potatoes, fish and peas for lunch" She replied still focusing on her dinner. "Cool, sounds nice, I can't wait to sample some!" I said closing my eyes and smiling at her. "Oh, this is only for me Tetsuna." My mind suddenly raced with thoughts. Was Mom dis-owning me? "Yours," She started facing me with a smile and a tear. "Is there," She pointed to a bag on the floor. It was black and fitted snugly over my shoulder to my waste. Stitched on the front was a moogle, just like mine. "Moog!" Mom said to the bag. My Moogle appeared holding up some lunch for me, and it looked like one big lunch. I looked back to my mother, "What's this for?" "I saw her this morning, High Summoner Yuna. She was headed for the temple, for the cloister of trials. That means she was heading to the Fayth Tetsuna, for they have awakened again. Something's happened and I noticed..." Her voice trailed off as she looked at my staff on the floor. "That they don't have a suitable black mage anymore...that's why you're going with her." With that she handed me a new staff. It was beautiful. The staff was gradiently shaded, blue, red, green and yellow to reflect the 4 elements I controlled. On the top of the staff, those 4 elements were designed with a pentagon, to focus power. "Mom...that's.." Was all I could manage to say as she handed it to me. I picked up my other stave and handed it to her. "You keep this as a memorial to you, but this isn't goodbye. I have to go see Yuna." With that I grabbed the shoulder bag, and my newly aquired stave and ran out into the square. Quite a crowd were gathering outside the temple gates. Eventually, two figures appeared. Yuna seemed exhausted, but happy to be there, but that was about to change. I walked towards the temple gates, stopping just short of the circular design on the ground. As soon as Yuna reached the other side, I banged my stick to the ground...it seemed to catch her attention. "Yuna!" I said pointing to her, "You're gonna need a mage for this adventure, and I'm here to prove to you what I can do. A friendly match between us. If I lose, I will not join your team, If I win, I will...got it? Now," I said, preparing a pose, "Change into your summoner outfit and bring forth your Aeon, I don't want you holding back!" My elemental jewels in my stave began to shine. "It's show time."
Gabbi Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 Rikku awoke with a jerk and rose to a sitting position. She stretched and went into the kitchen. "Okay wakey wakey you sleepyheads! I am going to make waffles!" Rikku didn't hear anything. "Gosh, why is everyone so not getting up?" Rikku asked as she taped her foot. She opened Yuna's door and poked a head in with a big smile. No one in sight. Her smile became a confused frown. She lifted an eyebrow and then exited. Rikku grabbed her chakrams and dashed outside in search of everyone. Rikku suddenly noticed a crowd of people. "Huh?" She asked herself as she rushed over. She then saw Tetsuna try a battle with Yuna. "Oh no this isn't good," Rikku said scurrying through the crowd.
Morph Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) I smiled at Tetsuna and nodded. Not only did I have my Aeon, her and I still had atleast half of the strength we had two years ago. My Summoner outfit was now a node on the Garment Grid, I pressed it the swirls of light ending with flower petals appeared again, but something felt strange. My Summoner robes, weren't exactly robes anymore, they were...different... I didn't mind though, I liked it. I held my arm up and the weapon I had aquired two years ago appeared in my hand. Nirvana. I began trirwling the staff before holding it back and pointing it to the ground. The symbols of Yevon laid out in a circle around me, calling the Aeon. Valefor landed next to me. I greeted her as I did everytime I summoned her two years ago. She flew up, into her possition, and I walked and stood behind her. "Begin" was all I said. People around the village stood shocked as they saw the Aeon. (I'm going to draw a picture of Yuna's new Summoner outfit. I like drawing, lol, I don't know when it'll be done though.) Edited January 24, 2007 by Morpheanne
Blade Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 I stood up on the steps of the temple behind the circle where Tetsuna and Yuna were about to begin their battle. I wasn't here 2 years ago when Yuna started her pilgrimage and seeing the Aeon, Valefor, up close was really impressive. But I could see across the circle and someone was trying to get through the crowd. I couldn't see who it was until they got through. It was Rikku and she must've saw what was going on, with her showing up it could prove to be a distraction. I had to get over there quick, but that wasn't my best attribute. With the crowd being moved about that caused Yuna to lose her focus for only a moment, but that was enough for Tetsuna to take her shot "Thunder" she said and a bolt of lightning struck the Aeon. Valefor reared back from the hit and countered with its sonic wing attack, sending a blast of wind at Tetsuna that knocked her backwards. I got through the crowd and I stopped Rikku from saying anything. I had to tell her "Yuna needs to concentrate on this battle. You know they'll be ok after its over."
Morph Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) "Not to much damage there" I thought to myself. My mind connected with Valefor's "Valefor, if you can get your overdrive up, that would win us this battle" "But, Yuna. The girl, she wants to come with you so badly. I can sense it" Valefor replied to me. "I know she does. Even if she loses I will let her come" "Why?" "Because I believe in her, Valefor." I replied. Valefor said nothing else. Another attack came. Fire. It hit Valefor and she shrieked a little. "Boost, Valefor" I told her "Keep boosting until your overdrive is ready" Another attack came. One after the other. Fire. Blizzard. Thunder. Water. They kept coming until Valefor had her Overdrive ready. "Prepare yourself, Tetsuna" I said as Valefor swooped into the air, spun her long hair around her head in the shape of a circle and a glyph appeared. Light began shining from her mouth as the glyph spun. Then she attacked. Her deadly 'Energy Ray' attack made contact with Tetsuna... Edited January 24, 2007 by Morpheanne
Ms.Croft Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Posted January 24, 2007 I screamed as the attack hit me, luckily, I had cast protect on myself before the battle had started. I was major weak after that attack hit, and protect had lost its effects. I kneeled down but kept on fighting. I was not going to lose this. I stood myself up and smacked my stick on the floor. The jewels glowed in the light, and as they did, I spun the stick around and the jewels immited light. The lights combined. I stopped my stick again and watched the lights combine into one big piece of energy. "Elements!" I screamed as the combined force of 4 elements careened at Valefor. I collapsed to the floor again, staring at Yuna. "Like my new attack?" I said smiling at her.
Morph Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 I smiled "I love it" I replied as Valefor went in for her final attack...
Ms.Croft Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Posted January 25, 2007 Valefor brought its wings back, and swung them at me. The wind blast knocked me to my feet. With the extra added time, Valefor performed the attack again, and again, and again. I flew through the air on the final attack and lost my stick in the process. It hit the ground the same time as me, I was beaten, and I wasn't going to be joining Yuna. I lay on the floor staring at my stick just out of reach of my hands. "No..." Was all I managed to say as I closed my eyes, relaxing, and composing my strength. "..Good job Yuna, it's nice to see that you're still as good as you used to be..." I muttered, unsure as to whether she could hear me.
Blade Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 I stood on the edge of the circle after that last attack from Valefor. I looked at Tetsuna, she was exhausted and laying down on the ground. I looked across at Yuna and she appeared to not be tired at all. I wondered what Yuna would do next after the battle, would she let Tetsuna come along or not?
Morph Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 I walked over to Tetsuna and held out my hand "You can come. You don't need to prove yourself to me. I know what you can do".
Blade Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Hearing that I said "Then it is settled." I looked around to the villagers that had been watching the battle "There's nothing more here to see. You all can return to your homes." the villagers dispersed, except for a few kids. These kids seemed really upset, and before I could say anything, Yuna had came over to console them. I walked around the kids and Yuna and went down to the beach behind the temple. I found a few trees growing down the near end and I sat down in the shade, facing the water. It was only a matter of time now, the pilgrimage would be starting again.
Morph Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 After talking to the kids, I called Rikku. "Rikku! Do you think you can fix the commsphere? We'll see if Brother and the others will come and get us".
Gabbi Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Rikku's ears pirked when her name was called. "Sure thing!"
Ms.Croft Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Posted January 27, 2007 Yuna lifted me up with her hand, and then went to aid some children. "Did she just say I could come with her on the pilgrimage again?" I stood there dumbfounded for a while. Eventually, a tiny smile began to find its way to my lips. I brought my arm down and leapt into the air, thrusting my arm towards the sky, "Yippee!!" I ran up to Yuna; she had just finished with the children. "Hey! I'm really excited about joining you...but I have a few questions. Will it really be neccesary to summon the final aeon to beat Seymour, I mean he's not Sin, we don't really need it..how strong can the Maester be?"
