Rinoa looked off in the distance as she saw Yuffie pin Tidus to the tree. She sure didn't want to get on her bad side, she thought as Yuffie went on her way cartwheeling again. She smiled to her se;f as she tought about the carefree way that Selphie used to act at times then walked closer to Tidus.

"Are you okay," she asked him.

"Yeah I think I'll be fine," he started, "but my prides something else."

She giggled a little as she continued to look at the slighty dazed look on his face.

" I guess you've never had a person of that nature[refering to females] do that to you have you."

"Well no I haven't, although Lulu was the type of person who would try it. But she would mostly just speak harshly."

"Well you'd better get used to it. Yuffie won't let you forget her."

"And how about you," he said looking at her curiously.

"Well I think I'm a little more reserved than Yuffie," she replied.

She looked around as she saw Yuffie and Sephiroth head back to the sea.

"Um, where are Zell and the others."

"Oh, they're off in the woods. Wanna come, I'm headed back that way right now. We're investigating the warp hole."

"Warp hole, didn't I overhear Auron-"

"Shhhhh, yeah but still," He paused for a moment. " You wanna come take a look at it."

Knowing that she probably suffer Aurons wrath as sell she decided to go along with it. She followed Tidus into the woods and headed towards her freinds. [/COLOR]

OoC: Is James posting anymore? I need to know...:twitch:
~~~~~~:
Auron shifted and noticed Sephiroth and Yuffie wandering back down the beach. He wasn't put at ease at all; Tidus and the rest were still missing. And the Crimson Warrior knew [i]exactly[/i] where they'd be. [i]Stupid kids...[/i] He started to stride toward the woods, making a mental note to speak to Sephiroth and Yuffie on his way.

"Tada! Warp hole!"
"Ooooo...can I touch it?"
"Vivi! What kind of question is that?!"
"A smart one. Where does it lead, Tidus?"
Tidus scratched the back of his head. "Y'know, I don't know. I..." He paused. Did he dare admit not looking at it earlier? "I didn't want to go without showing it to [i]some[/i]one!"
"Pfft, that was a weak save," Zidane laughed, buffing his nails on his vest.
"Hey, shut up!"
"Guys, guys!" Rinoa shouted. "OK, thing is--do we want to go through?"
"Can we sorta hold someone as they look through and then pull them back?" Vivi asked quietly.
The others stared at him.
"Wow, you're smart for a little guy," Tidus grinned.
Vivi adjusted his hat nervously and his eyes crinkled in happiness. "I can go, if you want!"
"Naw, better let me," Tidus replied. "If it's another part of Spira, I'll be able to recognize it right off."
With that, the foursome worked together, Tidus getting on his hands and knees, crawling forward slowly.

On the other side of the warp, the snow blew thickly. Tidus' spikey head stuck out of a rock and he looked around, surprised. His breath was taken away for a moment by the frigid tempature, replaced by foggy clouds of steam.
"Mt. Gagazet...whoa." Tidus began to signal to the others at the warmer end to pull him back, but before he could--
"Fiend!" a large violet Ronso roared. It charged at Tidus, who yelped in dismay.
"No, wait--! Pull me back, pull me back, pull me---WHOOOAAA!"
The three second tug of war ended quickly when the Ronso put Tidus in a headlock and yanked him from the rock. Rinoa, Zidane, and Vivi were quick to follow, and they fell on the Ronso in a heap. He snarled at them, clearly unhappy.
"A heh heh...hi?"
The Ronso bellowed, Vivi's voice just barely audible. "Guys, guys! The warp hole!"
With a quiet blip, it disappeared.

[Hinata]

OOC: ginnyLyn if this is what you werent lookig for let me know so that I may edit things!!

[COLOR=blue]

As Rinoa stood on the mountain her thoughts went to a beach scene hoping that it would make her all warm again but the thoughts failed.

"Were are we," Vivi cried as he looked around seeing the large lion like humaniod look at him.

"What are you," Zell creied as he his behind Tidus.

"Kilmahri, is that you?" Tidus exclaimed.

"Yes, but who are these people with you, where are Yuna and the others," he said solomnly.

"Oh Yuna and Rikku are off journeying all of Spira for now Auron-" he thought for a moment and slapped his forehead, then returned to his previous statement. "Auron is going to kill me when he finds out what happened."

Kilmarhi stared at him for a moment and then looked at the rest of the group. All of them shivering in the cold air surrounding there bodies. As he studied them he turned around.

"Follow me, there is a place you can warm up and rest near by."

The group needed no other words, they all followed the Ronso quickly. As they continued to walk away Rinoa turned back to the spot where the warp hole lay hoping that by some miracle it would return.[/COLOR]

[GinnyLyn]

OoC: Kimahri is actually blue, but I'll go with it. ^_~
~~~~~~~~
"Brrr....cold." Tidus ran his hands up and down his arms quickly, and Kimahri peered at him.
"Why does Tidus come if Tidus not prepared to come?"
"Well, see, we sorta found this warp hole at Kilika and--"
"Auron tell you not to use warp?"
"Well, more like he told us to stay away from it, and--"
"Tidus not listen. Hah. Kimahri take all but Tidus to warm place, let Tidus freeze little till get respect for elders."
"Auron's about as elderly as you get--OW!" Zidane had been whispering to a nervous Vivi, but Rinoa smacked the back of Zidane's head with the palm of her hand.
"Aw, c'mon, Kimahri, don't leave me here!"
The Ronso was ushering the others down toward the caves of the mountain, and turned back, a rare smile on his face. "Kimahri think about it."
"Kimahri! ARGH!" Tidus chased after them.

[Domon]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]The beach just seemed welcoming, or it just could have been any other reason to go down to it but in any case the silver-haired warrior was going towards it but stopped a ways off from the waters edge and sat down watching the waves ebbing on and off of the soft sand. Yuffie came up and plopped next down to him and propped her head against his shoulder.[/i]

"Penny for your thoughts." [i]She said in a content tone as Sephiroth seemed to space out watching the ocean and the sun starting to set against the horizion casting a beautiful array of pinks and lavanders, it really was a paradise here.[/i]

"I'm just thinking about how beautiful this planet is compared to our own. I mean these people don't tear their planet up looking for Mako or power hungry they have good peaceful lives here and I honestly hope I can live here. If not then maybe I'll find a nice cottage or something when we get back." [i]The warrior said as he then thought "How on earth are we going to get back?" he had no idea how they got here and no idea as to get back, all he knew was that he was with her and he was away from all the bad memories of the past.[/i][/COLOR]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Before she coud blink, he had put his arm around her. She smiled slightly and snuggled against his touch. Contrary to what she had always thought, he was gentle, at least when they weren't fighting or trying to kill eachother. He looked down at her. Dark hair, with a band of green and white through it. She looked up at him, eyes half closing, smiling sweetly.

He smiled back, then looked out at the rolling waves. It was so peaceful. She was just resting her head against him, not even trying to be forward. Yet he felt more content than he had in years. Her presence was calming, quite unlike a few hours ago.

Yuffie looked up at him once more, a slight tear forming in the corner of her eye. He brushed it away soothingly, and she looked down.[/i]

"What is it?"

"I was thinking about my father. How he's doing in Wutai."

"He's probably fine."

"...yes."[/COLOR]

[Domon]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]They sat staring out at the ocean which seemed to be glowing a brilliant orange, almost as if the sun itself were taking a bath in the ocean, she snuggled against his coat and he embraced her.[/i]

"You know Yuffie this has to be one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen." [i]He looked down at her, the girl had fallen asleep, he lowered his face and kissed her cheek lightly and stared back out at the ocean.

Unfortunately the romance didn't last long seeing as how Auron came storming back towards the clearing where they had all met.[/i]

"Dammit, Tidus and the others went through that warphole and I have no idea as to where they went but I know it was very cold so it had to be one of two places so I think we should head off for Luca." [i]Sephiroth looked up at the crimson warrior.[/i]

"Luca? Another island?"

"No, its part of the main land this island of Kilika is an island. There is still a boat in dock so let's get out of here. I'll know which places to go for the group." [i]With that the silver-haired warrior gently picked up Yuffie and carried her to the town making sure she wouldn't wake up; she looked so inoccent asleep, a few strands of her raven hair fell down over her face making her appear even more angelic.

After walking through the forest some more they spotted the first of many huts and torch lights going, they had arrived in Kilika.[/i][/COLOR]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]When she woke, her lashes parted to see the world moving across her vision. She blinked and sat up. A boat. Oh Da-Chao and Leviathin...no. She put her head between her knees and thought happy thoughts.

Sephiroth came over and patted her back. She grimaced and looked up.[/i]

Yuffie: ...damnit. I hate boats.

Sephiroth: Just don't loose the horizon.

[i]Her eyes strained to see beyond the edge of the boat, but she gave up and looked down again.[/i]

Yuffie: Please knock me out.[/COLOR]

[Hinata]

[COLOR=blue]
Rinoa warmed herself by a small fire while Zell, Vivi and Zidane followed suit. SHe noticed Kilmahri hold Tidus back, keeping him away from disobeying Auron. The Ronso was quiet, but still his presence was comanding. She noted that from his vigilant stnace keeping the engertic teen at bay.

"C'mon Kilmahri you have kept me here long enough. Im really cold. Please let me get by the fire," Tidus saided almost sounding like a little kid pleading for candy.

The Ronso shook his head. And looked down at the teen. "This is punishment...Auron would do the same."

"Well he's not here so let me through."

Tidus tried to push his way throguh Kilmahri but the gentle giant[well at least compared to Rinoa] Hed his arm out holding Tidus at bay. "This isn't fair." He still wrestled trying to break free but Kilmahri stayed his ground.

As everyone looked at the scene played before them they all burst out into laughter. Vivi most of all seemd very tickled by the whole thing. Vivi jumped up quickly and walked over to Kilmahri tapping his leg.

" Excuse me, Mr Kil-mar-ee." He pronounced unsure of himself." Could you please let him come by the fire now. I think he's learned his lesson and besides I think we'll all be getting an earful from Mr. Auron when he comes."

The Ronso towered over vivi and looked down on him looking in to is bright yellow eyes. Although no face there to show his expressions, Vivi's eyes seemd to channal a strong sense of humbleness and yet strength in one look. Kilmahri let his arm down and Tidus ran quickly to the fire. He hoped to warm his body quickly but shivers ran down his body as everyone else looked over at him and laughed.

Kilmahri though stood still and watched as Vivi returned to his seat. He was next to Tidus when he saw the Ronso looking on at them. As Rinoa looked over to vivi she glanced over in Kilmahri's direction.

"Please Kilmahri, come join us sir." Rino spoke breaking the silence between both the Ronso and the mage.

She noticed how both of them seemed so much alike despite the obvious outward appearance. Both so quiet, so gentle, and kind and yet a kind or strenght resinated from them both. The Ronso sat hear Vivi as he began to speak about himself and yet in turn ask the quiet Ronso many questions. Everyone soon joined in and they all spent a warmed filled night on the cold peaks of Mt. Gagazet enjoying each others company.

[Domon]

[COLOR=darkblue][i][SIZE=1]He looked at her and sat next to her and looked at her and stood her up.[/i]

"Close your eyes and give me your hand." [i]She did reluctantly and she slid her hand into his.[/i]

"That's it, keep your eyes closed and let me guide you down below." [i]With her eyes closed they walked towards the steps that led down below to the quarters. After walking down the stairs they came to her quarters and he opened the door and guided her into it.[/i]

"Here we are. Your quarters, I hope you don't mind it." [i]As he turned to leave she ran up behind him and wrapped her arms around him.[/i]

"Don't go yet! At least stay till I fall asleep." [i]He grinned and truned and nodded and they climbed onto her bed and he sat there with his back propped against the wall and she snuggled up against him again and after a while she drifted off into a deep sleep, the silver-haired warrior had thoughts about leaving to his own quarters but he stayed and fell asleep as well with his arms embracing her and her arms embracing him.[/i][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Auron walked below, looking for Sephiroth, when he found the door to Yuffie's sleeping quarters open. He walked in silently, assessed the situation, and swiftly backpedaled for the door. As soon as it closed behind him, Sephiroth opened one eye. He grinned and closed it again, calm and composed. Not that sleeping next to Yuffie was not enjoyable.

Just unerving. At least she didn't snore or get seasick in her sleep.

"....admit it Yuffie, you love him."

"Why would I love him? He's Sephiroth."

"At least you've grown quite fond of him. More than usual."

"....and if it's true Leviathin? What then?"

"I only want you to think about what you're doing. He could hurt you."

"I know."[/i][/COLOR]

[Domon]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Sephiroth looked at the ninja now curled up in a ball with one hand resting along the length of her upper leg and her other supporting her head. He slipped out of the room and up to the main deck. The stars were out and shining brightly, but they weren't the stars he was used to, the warrior looked around and saw Sano sitting on a box with his arms crossed and nodding off and Auron, well Auron was nowhere to be seen.[/i]

"So, you couldn't sleep?" [i]Auron's familiarly gruffy voice said from behind Sephiroth.[/i]

"I was asleep, but you woke me up, I have good hearing. Anyways, what's in Luca?" [i]He asked with curiousity. Auron chuckled at this while he walked over to a mast and propped himself against it.[/i]

"Well, there's the Blitzball Stadium."

"Blitzball?" [i]The silver-haired warrior asked puzzled, Auron chuckled at his sudden outburst.[/i]

"You'll see what it is when we get in Luca. Also Luca is the main way to get to where we need to be, so just be patient." [i]As he said this a thin wisp of light started to peep out from the water. Both warriors looked at this and grinned, the sun was coming out and today would be a great day to see Luca.[/i][/COLOR]

[Hinata]

[COLOR=blue]
Rinoa woke up a few hours befor the sunset and noticed the fire still burning brightly beside her. She looked around her to see everyone still sleeping. All except Kilmahri, she looked around to find him but he was nowhere in the warm cave.
She got up and took the thick blanket covering her along with her and went outside. It seemed she caught the calmness of My Gagazet cause just the crips cold air grapped her senses snapping her back to reality. She looked around and saw how beautiful the snow looked at night and stood in awe looking at the clear night sky. She saw bright start that twinkled and imagined they each and evryone of them could be picked off a dack canvas and placed in her pocket.


"Beautiful, is it not." Rinoa turned to see the quiet Ronso looking down at her. "This Kilmahri fav'rite time. No wind, no clouds, just the white mountain and the sky."

Rinoa listened to the Ronso talked. She enjoyed hearing his voice. Although his appearance was scary his nature seemed to soothe her as she listened to him talk about the great Mountain. She heard how his people were massacred leaving only a few Ronso's left within all of Spira. How he now vowed to protect his hoemland the best he could. She could hear his determination.

"You seem like so much has happened to you and yet you prefer to be alone," she relpied looking up at the Ronso.

"Kilmarhi not alone. My people are with me, with Mt. gagazet, they never leave. I feel them in my heart and hear thier memories within these mountain peaks. Kilmahri never alone."

Rinoa shed a single tear for the Ronso and felt it freeze upon her cheek. As she looked up one more time to the sky she saw clouds again starting to move in and the wind began to pick up.

" Come Rinoa, let us return." Kilmahri jumped from the rock in front of Rinoa and walked behind her as she entered the cave.
"You know, Rinoa remind Kilmahri of Ms. Yuna. Both have same spirit, same ways. Are you a Summoner?"

"No Kilmahri I'm not, I used to be possessed by a sorceress and her powers may still lie within me but I'm no summoner."

" You have their spirit. Would you give life to protect others around you?"

"Yes, without a doubt."

"To me you still a summoner, in spirit. You have good heart, please be carfuel on your journey."

"Thank you Kilmahri, thank you alot." She went back over to the fire leaveing the Ronso alone to himself once again. She lay there looking into the flames hoping that thier dance would put her back to sleep hoping her dreams would reveal to her where her lost love was at.

[GinnyLyn]

Auron breathed deep, the salty air filling his lungs, the noises of large excited crowds assailing his ears. He remembered the last time he had been here. Waiting for Tidus; he knew the Blitzball capitol of Spira would bring the blonde like a firefly to light. He had been right.
This time around... Auron tried not to grit his teeth. He was going to give that boy an earful and a half when he caught up to him. But what would be the point? It would go in one ear and out the other. Auron sighed and rubbed his good eye. He [i]earned[/i] his white hairs those past 1o years. And guys in their thirties weren't supposed to have white hairs, he thought with a rueful chuckle.
"You all right?" Sephiroth's voice cut in on his thoughts.
"Yeah. You?"
Sephiroth nodded. "Yuffie's coming."
"Oooorrggh....stupid ship. Damned sea. Blurrg..."
"You look rather green," Auron commented.
"Shaddup, Red," Yuffie grunted, clutching the rail that let her off the boat.
"I thought she was the Leviathan Summoner?"
Sephiroth shrugged, an unusually light hearted motion for a man of his nature. "I wouldn't take it up with her if I were you."
"And I'd rather not cross you about it either," Auron smirked.
"Smart man."
"Peh," Auron gruffly chuckled. "She'll be nicer and feel better after we walk around the stadium."

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]The poor ninja staggered around for a few moments, then recovered with the aid of a tranquilizer. Sephiroth grinned and took her arm gallantly. Auron grinned and led them down the street.

Yuffie looked around. No materia. Just lots of sky and land. And people. Making her .....urk. Push the thought away.

She refocused her gaze down the street and thought happy thoughts again.[/i]

Sephiroth: You doing okay?

Yuffie: I need air.

Sephiroth: Plenty out here.

Auron: True true...

Yuffie: Next time...I'm walking.[/COLOR]

[Domon]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Sephiroth guided Yuffie away from the dock into the main lobby of the stadium it was elegantly decortated with long curtains and there in the center were three women and a boy that had a head of bright orange hair but it looked too much like Zell's hair style. The girl with the light brown hair and blue dress with a large bow on the back of her dress turned and her eyes danced with glee.[/i]

"Sir Auron! Its so good to see...you..."[i]She paused at the last part of her sentence as she saw Sephiroth, Yuffie, and Sano standing there.[/i]

"Who are they? And where it Tidus?" [i]She said with a tinge of anxiety in her voice.[/i] "I was hoping to see him." [i]Auron looked at her sympathetically with his good eye.[/i]

"Well, I know he's somewhere here on Spira. Anyways, these three are Sano, Sephiroth, and Yuffie. They come from other worlds, although Sano seems to wear clothes from Spira." [i]Yuna nodded, she walked up to Sephiroth and bowed but before she did he caught a glimpse of her eyes, one was blue and the other was green.[/i]

"I'm pleased to meet you Sir Sephiroth." [i]The warrior blushed violently pink as he was addressed so properly.[/i]

"It's no deal, just call me Sephiroth. Anyways, can we see what Blitzball is?" [i]The red-haired looking Zell walked up, he looked like the people he'd encountered at Kilika. Tanned, dressed almost the same, but he had one of those determined looks on his face and he had what appeared to be the starting of a beard growing in.[/i]

"Hey, I'm Wakka, and I'm one of the Blitzball players you'll be seeing. Anyways, just go with Yuna, Lulu, and Rikku to watch the whole thing." [i]And with that he turned and headed into one of the doorways while the three girls led the way upstairs and into a personal skybox. As they went to take their seats Sephiroth sat next to Auron with Yuffie sitting next to him.[/i]

"Okay old man which one is Rikku and Lulu?" [i]Auron looked at him with a look that could break glass.[/i]

"First off don't call me old man and secondly the hyper short blonde, who is much like Yuffie is Rikku, the gloom and doom looking one is Lulu, just don't make her mad other wise you'll get an earful, she's also Wakka's wife and is expecting so definetly don't cross her." [i]Sephiroth cringed at the thought of Lulu going off at him, she looked like a powerful magic user. He turned his attention back to the center of the stadium as it started to fill with water in the shape of a sphere.[/i][/COLOR]

[GinnyLyn]

Auron squinted his eye against the sun. Figures they'd give him the seat with no shade.
"I actually never got into Blitzball myself...though I had a friend...a very close friend..." Auron's voice dropped off. He was thankful for his overly large collar; no one could see his throat throb with emotion. [i]Jecht...[/i]
"Sir Auron?"
Auron cleared his throat and settled back, adopting a silent tone.
"Well, that's ok," Rikku chirped, "I can explain it!"
Yuffie suddenly grinned. She could sense a kindred spirit in the green eyed girl. Maybe after the game they could go "borrow" some money...Yuffie chuckled at the thought.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Sephiroth and Auron exchanged a meaningful glance over the girls's heads and looked back at the game.

Rikku and Yuffie got along famously, helped by the fact that both were roughly the same age, and the news that Yuffie's birthday was like....today. Which of course, Rikku announced to the whole wide world.[/i]

Rikku: YUFFIE'S 17 TODAY!

Yuffie: About as subtle as an 18-wheeler....

Sephiroth: Really?

Rikku: Yep, ain't it great?

[i]The female ninja turned throughly red and sank down in her seat. Rikku laughed and patted her head.[/i][/COLOR]

[Domon]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Sephiroth watched as people actually started to play a kind of soccer like game. Of course it wasn't soccer but still, it looked waaay to much like it, Sephiroth looked back over at Auron.[/i]

"So Tidus is a blitzball player too?"

"The best one to date!!" [i]Piped up Rikku while standing there looking at Sephiroth and Auron. Just then Yuffie got a bad mental image and hurled herself onto Sephiroth and sat on his lap.[/i]

"Kiss me Sephy!" [i]She said as she tried to plant a kiss on his face and Rikku looked at the ninja in amazement and giggled.[/i]

"Awwww, you two are sooo cute!" [i]Rikku said as she clapped her hands together, Lulu just happened to be watching and snorted in disdainment. Yuffie then guessing it was okay slid off of Sephiroth and stood up next to Rikku.[/i]

"Wanna go wander around?" [i]The ninja asked and Rikku looked at her as if she had read her mind.[/i]

"I was just about to ask you that!! This is sooo cool! I swear you gotta be my twin or something."

"God I hope not, I don't think our world is ready for two of you." [i]Sephiroth said jokingly as both girls stuck their tounges out and pranced off. Auron snorted a chuckle.[/i]

"I was honestly hoping Rikku wouldn't be here. I don't think Yuffie and her should be alone." [i]Just then Lulu stood up.[/i]

"I'll go watch them, I need to move around anyways, just sitting here just doesn't sit right for me." [i]With that she turned and walked out, her black dress trailing behind her.[/i][/COLOR]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]The girls, chaperoned by a very pregnant Lulu, were surprisingly well behaved. They bought candy and walked around, looking at all the luverly sights. Lulu was able to keep up with them, as they paused every few seconds to point and chat about something.

The stoped in front of a vendor, selling....what was it? Fish?

Yuffie clapped a hand to her mouth and ducked under the counter. Rikku looked down.[/i]

Yuffie: I hate fish....no more ocean

Rikku: Seasickness?

Lulu: Amazing. She has a weakness...

Rikku: Awww.

Yuffie: Ugh...even if I'm Leviathin's summoner...I still can't anything water related. Please knock me out.[/COLOR]

[Patronus]

[size=1][color=000066][b]Squall ran as fast as he could down the cement hall. Sweat rolling down his face, the Ahriman
chased him. He thought he had been sent to a different dimension when he was seperated in the warp hole, and was no use fighting this monster he had never seen before.

"Someone has to be around here," he said to himself. The gunblade in his hand was sharp, but couldn't hit this aerial opponent.

"What are you going to name your baby?" he heard a girl say. It was that Yuffie girl!

"Yuffie!" he yelled, seeing she was with Rikku and some othe woman. Yuffie immediatly alerted, and ran to him.

"Squall, Squall! We thought you were with the others!" she yelled, holding his shoulders.

"No, no, I was sent to some forest. That's not the problem right now, [i]that[/i] is," he said, pointing at the Ahriman.

"Rikku," said Lulu, looking at her.

"I know, Lulu," said Rikku. She started digging in her pockets, then brought two items out. Her hand up in the air, she smashed them together to form a new item.

"Stand back you guys!" she yelled. She bit the top of the item off and threw it at the monster, resulting in an explosion. The monster dropped to the ground, but started to get up nonetheless.

"It isn't enough!" yelled Yuffie, running behind the two women with Squall.

"Thundara!" yelled Lulu, her voice bellowing. She rose her hand in the air, then brought it down, resulting in a thunderbold striking the monster. The monster shrugged it off, and flew into the air once more.

"Materia Sense!" they heard Yuffie yell. A see-through screen appeared in front of them saying: Aerial and hard to hit. It has high magic defense and no elemental weaknesses. Its Gaze may cause confusion. It also has Ultrasonics, which strikes all characters.

"Magic won't hurt it!" yelled Squall.

"Rikku, have any more items?" asked Lulu

"No, I don't," pouted Rikku.

"What're we going to do?" asked Yuffie.

"It isn't too big," said Squall, "so there is only one thing to do." Squall stepped in front of the monster and spread his arms to his sides. A black tunnel-like entrance faded in front of him. The tunnel suddenly boomed with a noise, and then a bright light appeared within. Train tracks emerged as quickly as the Gaurdian Force, Doomtrain, boomed out of the tunnel. Tracks appear directly under the monster as the GF steadily gains speed. As it gets closer, the monster panics, but cannot move. Doomtrain suddenly hits it, overkilling it, and disappearing. Squall put his arms down and fell to the ground, exhausted.

[COLOR=blue]
As Rinoa woke up she could hear chatter all around her. Everyone including Kilmahri were sitting down just enjoy a few pleasantries.

"Well if Queen sleepy head isn't up," Zell laughed as everyone else followed suit.

"Aww bite me Zell," Rinoa said sticking her tongue out to him. " I had a good sleep and most of alll a very encouraging conversation."

Rinoa turned to Kilmahri who looked at her deeply and nodded his head at her. She got up and went to make a plate of food when Tidus started talking about hobbies.

"So there's this game called blitzball. Oh man you've all got to see and we all play in this giant sphere of water."

"Blitzball, an underwater sport. What so do you mean you all are able to like stay under water for more thatn a few minutes at a time," Zidane interjected.

"Yeah, isn't everybody."

"Um, no!" Everybody relpied in sync not a space between a response.

" So what do you guys do?" Tidus studied them closely, waiting for the first response.

"Well, I'm not sure about Vivi and Zidane," Zelll started, "but we (refering to himself and Rinoa) play a type of card game.But there are so many rules that can change the way its played, way too complicated to explain, but I'll try to show you sometime."

"Well we play a card game too. Wanna see some of the cards," Vivi pulled out three cards with different creatures on it and one with a city.

"Whoa, what place it that!"

"That's the city of Alexandria," Zidane answered quickly. "It doesn't really look like that anymore but hopefully its people will rebuild it to its former glory."

Everyone became silent for a moment before Tidus jumped up and yelled. Vivi scared jumped as well as everyone quickly turned there face to look at Tidus quickly.

"Man, what is your problem," Zell yelled.

"I'm here talking bout blitzball and I should be in Luca participating in the tournement their having right now. What great luck."

"Is there a way we can make it to Luca in time for you to play?"

Rinoa stood up quickly and walked over to him. "I'm sure there are some people who can help you out if yu can reach them."

"Well we could just walk to Luca. Who knows Auron and company may be there by now and might be traveling towards us. But there is no one to call. Cid and his airship are probably halfway around the world."

"Kilmahri think its best to travel. Walk to Luca."

"Yeah let do that. I would love to see all of Spira," Rinoa replied. Vivi and Zidane nodded as well agreeing with Rinoa.

"I'm cool with it. Will we get to fight is the real question though?"

"Yeah, there are a few wicked fiends along the way."

"Well its settled let's go."

Everyone chatted as they made plans on when to leave but Vivi turned to see Kilmahri not saying a word.

"Kilmahri will you not go with us."

"Kilmahri belong here. This no longer Kilmahri's journey, it yours."

"Oh, well it would have been great to have you along though."

Kilmahri nodded agreeing with Vivi.

"Oh well, so much for tearless goodbyes now huh," Tidus said. "But we must leave, we wanna have a good start before nightfall."

With that said everyone said thier goodbyes to Kilmahri and walked out of his cave. Although it was still cold outside, they were able to withstand it this time and hurried down the mountain slope.

OoC: My bad! Where'd Zell go?!?
~~~~~~~~~~~
Auron got up to excuse himself when--
"Man, you kiddin'? It's just gettin' to da best part, ya?" Wakka indicated the large water sphere where the Luca Goers were taking on the Al Bhed Psyches.
"Aren't you the least bit concerned about your wife and those other two? They [i]are[/i] reputed thieves, after all," Auron snapped back.
"Eh..." Wakka looked lost and transferred his gaze from the game to the last exit he saw Lulu take. He then looked back to the game and whimpered slightly. Torn between the two greatest loves of his life.
"I'll go," Auron said. "I need some air."
"But Sir Auron," Yuna said politely, "there is plenty of air here in the open stadium."
"Forgive me, Lady Yuna, but there's not enough for me. Now if you will excuse me..." Auron hastily walked through the exit the trio of girls had taken earlier.

He didn't need the air. He just needed to get away from the influence. Torn between memories of his friend Jecht and anger at his surrogate son Tidus for running off. Both were star Blitzers, and watching the game only reminded him of that all the more.
His warrior sense picked up someone trailing him, and Auron turned, only to see Sephiroth following him.
"Yes?" he asked pointedly.
"Thought you might like the company."
"Any other time. Not now."
Sephiroth raised an eyebrow. "What's with you, old man?"
Auron's russet eye flashed. "I'm not in the mood, boy."
"Boy?" Sephiroth's own Mako eyes pulsed dangerously. "[i]Boy?"[/i]
"Going to leave me alone now?"
"No, I am definitely following you now."
Auron groaned internally. Didn't anyone listen to their elders anymore? He caught the irony and turned the groan to a chuckle.
"What's so funny?"
Auron shook his head. "Nothing. But you are [i]not[/i] following me."
Sephiroth narrowed his eyes. "Don't make me fight you..."
"...because you might lose," Auron finished.
"Are you [i]intentionally[/i] pissing me off or are you always this rude?"
"How about you just return to your seat already?!"
"No," the silver haired warrior glowered.
"Why the Farplane not?"
"Something's been bugging you since we got here. Out with it, Auron."
The Crimson Warrior gritted his teeth. "Just..." Heavy sigh; why was everyone so intent on prying into his past? "...just recalling old dreams."
"Must be something to upset you."
"Mmm. Now will you leave me alone?"
Before Sephiroth could answer, there was a loud shriek in the crowd, following by familiar giggling. Rikku dodged past, followed by Yuffie. There was no sign of Lulu.

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Sephiroth and Auron looked at each other and charged in the direction that the two girls came from, they arrived just as they saw the fiend die from a massive attack from a summon and a young boy falling down from exhaustion and Lulu slumping against a bench. Auron tended to Lulu and Sephiroth kneeled down next to the boy.[/i]

"You okay?" [i]He said curious at the kid's response. He looked up at the silver-haired warrior with a determined look and attempted to stand but his legs buckled from exhaustion, Sephiroth pulled him up and slung the kid's arm over his shoulders and helped him to the stadium with Auron coaxing Lulu too. Just as they arrived at the entrance Yuna was bolting towards them with a look of shock.[/i]

"Yuffie and Rikku told me what happened. Here let me help both of you." [i]With that she did a few hand gestures and a Cura spell was released upon the boy with a scar and Lulu, Sephiroth let go of his arm and the boy stood up normally and looked about confused.[/i][/COLOR]

[Patronus]

[size=1][color=000066][b]"Thank you," Squall said weakly. Cura can heal wounds, but not tiredness. He looked at Sepiroth and then to Auron, and back at Lulu.

"I'm sorry for getting you into all this Lulu," he said softly, surprised he could remember her name which was mentioned shortly. "and you too, Rikku and Yuffie. I--I got seperated when we went through the warp hole. And--and I was--"

"No need to explain," said Auron, putting his hand on his shoulder. [i]This kid is the exact opposite of Tidus..yet, I like him.[/i], he thought.

"It's quite alright," Sephiroth said, "atleast you didn't get anyone killed." Squall glared at Sephiroth. Somehow, he knew this guy was feared. Just like Edea and Seifer were. It's all the same..

"Squall! Squall!" he heard Rikku cheer.

"Uh, uh, yeah?" said Squall, coming out of his daydream.

"Are you able to fight off some other fiends? They're probably not as bad as that one we fought, but we might be able to use a GF or two.." replied Yuffie.

"Yeah, sure, I'm fine," lied Squall. He waited for everyone else to run off to start limpingly run...(is limpingly a word? oO)[/b][/color][/size]
