(OOC: Just gonna clear the last few posts up; sort of a recap...)

Vivian awoke. The odd man was standing above her. The man, dressed in red and black helped her up.

"Ugh..." she groaned, rubbing her head. "Wha-What happened..." she looked around and grasped where she was. "H-hey! Who are you!?! What's going on!?!?" The man just told her to be quiet. While he was preoccupied with her, a Bomb came up behind him.

"Look out!" she shouted, pointing towards the large flaming ball, with a sick grin upon its face. The man turned around, swiftly, and shot the Bomb to the ground. The fire surrounding the Bomb fizzled out. Then, he turned around and yelled run. Two more Bombs had appeared from the hole.

Suddenly, Kira ran out of the door down the hall, weapons drawn. She destroyed the two Bombs, cutting them in half with her daggers. The room was in shambles. Some Al Bhed soldiers were running about. Fires had sprung up all over the room. The door to the bridge had been smashed. Gigantic holes had been created in the walls. Vivian could see Bahamut, flying next to the Airship.

"Kira!" Vivian cried, with a sigh of relief. "You're okay!" Kira nodded. She then turned to the other man.

"Who is that?" she asked. Vivian shook her head.

"I don't know..." she replied, but the man just shook his head.

"Now is not the time for introductions...if you want to live, come with me!" he shouted, running towards the giant hole in the ship. Kira and Vivian both had looks of shock on their faces. The man jumped out, his long cloak billowing in the wind.

After a moment's hesitation, Kira followed.

"C'mon! He's right! We can't stay here! The ship's gonna blow!" she shouted, and then she jumped out. Vivian hestiated for a moment, but then decided it was for the best. She ran towards the hole and jumped out, just as Bahamut slammed his claw into the Airship, again, this time, critically damaging the engine. The ship was starting to fall out of the sky, flaming.

Vivian could see the other two, falling ahead of her. The wind was cold against her bare skin, her hair flying in her face. Pieces of the ship were falling along with them, towards the sea. After a five minute fall, they hit the waters. Vivian landed in the water, with a splash. The water was warm; the area tropical, like most of Spira's water. Vivian was almost paralyzed for a moment, under the water, before she regained feeling and swam to the surface, with a gasp of air.

Meanwhile...

Ajax walked down the broken path, bodies of human and fiend alike, littering the ground. Up in the black sky, an Airship, engulfed in flames, shot towards the earth, like a rocket. Ajax noticed it and looked up and the terrible sight.

"What the...?" Ajax muttered, looking up at the ship, heading towards the sea outside of Bevelle. Bahamut was hovering in the sky, along with some airborne fiends, where the ship had been, a trail of smoke billowing behind the ship.

"Bahamut?" Ajax whispered. Bahamut had done it again! Ajax ran down the path, faster, to get a better view.

Aerif · 01-10-2006, 01:05 AM

Aeif stared after the winged man, whoever he was he seemed to be in a hurry. Then an awful thought hit her 'he wasn't scared of me, was he?' She didn't know what to do now. Rose Temple was destroyed and her big chance to do some good was over...

She thought of her pilgramage again and her becomming of Fayth. She suddenly remembered Yuna. She knew that she would be quie far from here. She stared up into the sky. And was amazed on what she saw...

Brother's Airship the Celcius was falling to the sea. But so was many other figures. She watched as Yuna, Lulu, Auron, Kimahri, Vivian, Kira and Nathan hit the water and came towards the shore. Bevelle was quite far from here but somehow she arrived there within seconds. She would help them, she had too. She was Yuna's gaurdian...

(OOC-The next few posts (until my one at the bottom of the page) should be ignored (excluding Magi's)

Ulteka Mako · 01-10-2006, 11:19 AM

Nathan was falling pretty fast from the airship, and he then hit the water. The two girls, behind him, and a few more people. He then swims over to the two girls.. *Are yall alright?* *By the way, way are your names again?* The girls told them that there names were Kira, and Vivian. *I am Nathan.D.Lance... Just call me Nathan* He then seen the airship, hit the water with flames coming from it. It slowly sunk to the buttom of the sea. *Well... we got to swim...* Nathan then seen a girl coming toward them, like she was flying are something. Nathan then rubbed his head, to make sure there wasn't any damage. He then turn, around and seen Bahamut flying away from were the airship had been.

Nathan then shouted to everyone, that was in the water.. *People... There is some girl flying this way... I don't know who it is yet... Just stay calm..* As the girl came closer, Yuna yelled.. *That is just one of my gaurdians.. Her name is Aerif.* Then the girl Aerif came closer, and she was right in front of Nathan. * Aerif: Are you guys alright?* Nathan then layed in his back in the water with relife that it wasn't another enemy. Nathan then look back at Kira, and Vivian.. *Do you two know her?*

Aerif · 01-10-2006, 11:46 AM

Nathan outstreched a hand with a gold ring on it. Aerif walked past him and went to hug Yuna.

"I see you've ditched the old outfit then, too bad I can't say the same" she said, "I tried to see you on your birthday but you didn't seem to be at your house. You were obviously celebrating in the Celcius, with your other friends..."

Yuna's face fell, she had neglected seeing Aerif for quite a while. Before she could say anything, however, Aerif turned to talk to Vivian.

"Vivian! We met, that day at Besaid, how are you? And Kira, Hiromi! It's great to see you two and Rikku, we've never met but I heard a lot about you and..."

Suddenly she let out a great gasp... a boy was coming towards them, a Defender of the Al Bhed. Y Tavahtan uv dra Al Bhed

Ulteka Mako · 01-10-2006, 02:06 PM

Nathan saw the Al Bhed coming toward them. Nathan then got out of the water, and onto land. Nathan grapsed he two guns, and aim them at the Al Bhed. Then Rikku told Nathan to stand down. Nathan had forgoten that Rikku was an Al Bhed. She started to talk back at the Al Bhed, and he started to talk to her. Nathan looked at Kira. *I wonder what they are saying to one another?

Magi of Worlds · 01-10-2006, 02:08 PM

Arkon awoke from a horrible nightmare in the Al Bhed tent. He was panting and sweat was pouring all over him. He had dreamed about the dark aeon...it was wripping him to peices because he had led some pf the Al Bhed into it's cave. Was that real or just a nightmare? Arkon thought to himself. He got up and walked over to the flaps of the tent. He opened one and peered out. Pitch-black darkness met his eyes. Hm, so no one is up then he thought to himself. He quickly and quietly walked out of the tent and up the trail leading back to Guadosalaum. He got a little ways down the trail when he was ambushed by two Iron Armor's. Where the hell did they come from? Arkon thought before one plunged it's sword at him. Arkon ducked and the sword came so close to his head he could feel the wind off the blade. Oh my god that was close! he stated to his mind. He whiped around charging a thundaga spell. The thing was taller than normal. It was fourty feet tall! Arkon knew he was going to die if he stayed long. He fired the thundaga spell at it and ran hoping it hit the brute and killed it. He kept running until he was only a foot away from the gates back into Guadosalaum from the Plains. He took one look behind him to see if he was followed and ran straight through the gate. He ran all the way to the Farplane and sat down by the entrance. He fell asleep not to long after that.

cetra_aeris · 01-10-2006, 05:30 PM

Kira smiled when she saw Aerif. She was still in oain from the fall but it was forgotten when she heard footsteps behind her. She spun around to get a better look. It was an Al Bhed man. It looked like he had been in a fight and she looked at the others trying to decide if she should trust him.Why shouldn't I trust him?He seems like an okay guy... Rikku started walking twords him "Rikku, tu oui ghuf res?" Kira asked. Rikku nodded and began chatting with him. Kira relaxed a bit and began to watch them. She couldn't hear what they were saying but she noticed that they talked with ease. Suddenly Hiromie jumped out of her pouch and ran twords the man and started to purr. Kira stared in astonishment." Hiromie!Get back here!" She said walking over to get the kitten.

Ulteka Mako · 01-10-2006, 06:50 PM

Nathan puts his gun back into his holster, and then wait to see what Rikku has to say. Rikku cam back, and said that the Al Bhed had been in a fight with an Aeon. He did not know what Aeon it was. He said that is not to far from, and that we should get off this island as fast as possible. *I am not leaving... I am going to fight.. Who his coming with me?*

Nathan pulled out both of his sword, and stabed them into the soft sand. He then grabed his guns from there hosters, and reloded them with 40 bullets each.

Nathan then put his guns back in their holsters, and then picked up his swords. He clean the blood from Bahamuts arm off his swords.

*Is anybody going to go with me... Huh... Lets me guess... You are all going to run? That figures... That is all you are good for. You need to quit running from the problem, and dill with the problem.

I am going to handle my problem.* Nathan then starts to run off into the direction the Aeon is at. He gets their, and sees nothing. *This is weird...* There are homes destroyed, and bodies all over the place. *I guess I am to late.* Then out of nowere 15 duel horns come out behind the dabree. *O shit.... I am in trouble now.*

One of the best comes charging at him, and he jumps up in the air, and comes down with his sword, making them go through the Duel Horns head. *One down.... 14 to go.*

Nathan then charge at three of them. He is shooting Ultima at them. He kills the three, and one of them rams him from the side, knocking him into a bolder. Then all the rest of them corner him.

*I'm in some big trouble now..*

Magi of Worlds · 01-10-2006, 06:59 PM

Arkon woke up suddenly remembering where he was. In Guadosalaum...He got up and stared around. Thinking to buy some X-Potions he walked over to their store. When he opened the door he came face-to-face with an Iguine. It was eating a Guado's body. Arkon unsheathed his sword and crept up on the Iguine quielty. He got an inch away from it and before it could do anything about it he cut it's head clear off. He looked around the shop and saw that it had killed two other Guado. Damn you rogue feinds! Arkon almsot shouted but he only thought it. He decided that maybe the feinds had killed everyone so he decided to loot the shop. Might as well, they don't need these items Arkon thought to himself as he found a rather good sized leather bag. He looked at the shelves and found fifteen X-Potions and twelve Elixers. This should hold me he thought as he came out of the Item Shop with the leather bag on his shoulder. Guess I better get back through the Thunder Plains, that woman might still be on the Southwharf waiting... the sudden thought came to his mind.
Arkon walked back through the gates that led to the Thunder Plains. Wait a second, the three dead Guado were the only ones I saw in there he suddenly thought to himself feeling a little worried. He started running at top speed back to the Al Bhed encampment incase there was something horrible still lurking in Guadosalaum. When Arkon arrived at the camp...he found that there was a bloody mess everywhere and everyone was dead...

Aerif · 01-11-2006, 08:07 AM

(OOC- Nathan, Bevelle is not an island. And it looks like Rikku isn't here... We'll just ignore the last posts then. Ok? Back to The Al bhed appearing...
The Al Bhed looked flustered, as if he had just been running.
"Fryd'c fnuhk?" Aerif asked him.
"Yh Aeon yd dra Thunder Plains, dygehk bufan vnus amaldneledo, fa sicd rinno!"
"He says there's an Aeon at the Thunder Plains! My geuss would be that it's Ixion, but i'm not sure..." she told the group.
"Ixion. Ed tet muug mega Ixion pid E's hud cina!" The Al Bhed said
"Famm, E's cina ajanoputo ihtancdyhtc DRYD. Aqlabd syopa Sn. Tohysel-Naclia ujan drana... Fru ryc bnupypmo hajan cbugah y fnut eh Al Bhed" Aerif told the group.
"Well, should we go?"
(OOC- I think that should clear it up...)

Magi of Worlds · 01-11-2006, 01:54 PM

Arkon was looking at all of the bodies and wondering a single question. Who killed his new friends? He didn't have an answer to that question yet. The least he could do was not let their sacrifice go to waste so he began burying them. This took him four hours because there had been two hundred Al Bhed here and their bodies were scattered. Arkon hadn't found the man who could speak english though. He couldn't remember his name either. Mantid... Yes that was his name. Arkon looked around the whole encampment a second time searching for Mantid's body, but he couldn't find it. Maybe he lived Arkon thought many times in the hours it took to search for Mantid's body. But, in the end, he found his body against one of the towers a mile away from the camp. Damn it Mantid, could you atleast have survived? Arkon thought as he saw the man. He walked up to the man's body and buried him. It was getting dark now...Arkon walked over to the camp of the dead Al Bhed and sat down on a box. He began to cry for the loss of all two hundred and one Al Bhed...

Red XIV · 01-11-2006, 02:51 PM

(OOC: Its a recap...before Ginny's recent post)

Vivian hit the water with a splash. After catching her breath, she looked around for the others. It appeared that everyone got out, except, Vivian couldn't see Brother. Vivian looked around for land. About a quarter of a mile away, she could see land...along with the ruins of Bevelle. Up ahead, Kimahri shouted and pointed towards the land.

"Land. Go." he grunted, and started to swim towards the shore. Vivian and the others followed. Vivian swam through the water as fast as she could. The water was warm and she loved the sea, but she felt something...bad, about the sea. She wanted to get to land quickly. She swam hard, through the calm seas.

After about a half hour of swimming, she reached land. Kira, Yuna, Kimahri, and the unknown man, were already there. Vivian got out of the water and walked, slowly, towards the group. She sat on the sandy ground and pulled off her other boot and shook her head, to dry her hair. Auron, Lulu, and some of the Al Bhed from the ship also reached the shore, at last. Auron counted the people left. 20 were missing, along with Brother.

"Is everyone okay?" Yuna asked, but just as she said that, a woman appeared out of nowhere. The woman turned to Yuna, a heavenly aura surrounding her.

"Yuna? How are you?" the woman asked. Yuna looked suprised and happy. Yuna hugged the woman, with a large smile on her face.

"Aerif!" Yuna cried, gleefully. "How have you been?" Aerif pulled away from Yuna.

"You know... How have you been? I see you've changed the outfit. I wanted to see you for you birthday, but..." the two women started to talk. After examining the woman, Vivian recognized her. Vivian had met her in Bevelle, one year ago. Kira recognized her, too.

"Hey, your Aerif!" Kira said, at length. Her cat, Hiromi, jumped out of nowhere towards Aerif. Aerif turned towards Vivian and Kira.

"Hey, you two? Do you remember me?" Aerif asked. The two nodded. Kira, Yuna, and Aerif started to talk to each other, while Vivian turned back to the seas. It had started to rain and Vivian was getting cold. The water dripped off her skin, her body shining. The man walked up to her.

"I'm Nathan D. Lance...just call me Nathan..." he introduced himself. Vivian turned away from the dark seas towards the man.

"...Thanks for the help back there..." Vivian said, outstretching a hand. Nathan shook her hand. "By the way, my name's Vivian Revan..."

Just as Nathan was about to reply, a man, an Al Bhed, came running towards the group, gravely wounded. A bloody gash was on his bare chest and the man was limping.

"What?!? What's wrong? What happened to you?" Yuna shouted, running up to the man. The Al Bhed shook his head and started to speak in Al Bhed. Vivian had forgotten most of her Al Bhed and couldn't understand what the man was saying. The woman, Aerif, started to translate, as Yuna and Lulu tried to fix his wounds.

"He's from the Thunder Plains!" Aerif translated. "He says that an Aeon attacked his group! From what I understand, it is Ixion..." Vivian looked up, hearing the words Ixion. She touched her belt buckle. An insignia of Ixion was on her buckle.

"Ixion...?" Vivian muttered, looking towards the sky. While she gazed into the dark skies, the man, Nathan, ran off towards Bevelle. Auron shouted at him.

"Where are you going?!?" he shouted. Nathan stopped and turned back towards them.

"I'm going to stop the Aeon. Anyone coming?" Nathan replied. Lulu looked bewildered.

"One man cannot take down an Aeon!" she explained. Nathan shurgged and continued on. Aerif looked around the group.

"We should help..." she said, with a look of urgency on her face. Yuna stood up, nodding.

"Yeah, we have to stop Ixion. Look what he did to the Al Bhed!" she pleaded. Vivian looked down at the Al Bhed. Yuna had covered his head with a cloth...he was dead.

"It is up to you, Yuna..." Auron said at length.

(OOC: Sorry about controlling characters, but I just tried to clear things up and I took Rikku out. I'll use Ajax soon.)
