Final Fantasy 10 Part 5

I waited ahead on Mushroom Rock road. We tend to split up in our travels mostly. Just a little room between my people and them. They gey more training in, I do what I do. I have been trying to get the Ronso tribe to move they didnt want to. Hotshot had come back to the group after another faol attempt to do so. They would pay for their stupidity.

No point in traveling with them all the time. I rather they catch up and we go from there. Besides It gave me alone time with Mileena. It definitely improved things. She was happy to wait around with me. We would wipe out the monsters in the area and then clean up and wait. Not much talking though. She didnt want to talk. Just wanted for me to hold her. She was brooding a lot lately. I had no idea why. She also had been changing.

Riku had moved up to us a few hours later. She was determined right now to kill Seymour. I didnt mind in the least. Moving away we went to ambush him and his party.

"There he is." Riku said pointing. A few of the other Guado guardians standing not to far away. "I want to fight him on on one."

"Tch, are you serious!?" I said a little ticked off. "Let me fight him you and Mileena kill the guards."

"No! I have to do it." Riku said a bit of lightning flashed in her eyes. They were a weird green as they flickered. "My fight!"

"Ughh, fine then. Not with out buffs." I activated every one I could use on her without triggering problems from the world itself. "Once you get close activate the Auxilary field and I will cast the other buffs to help."

"No, they wont be needed. I have trained to kill this bastard for a very long time." Riku was stubborn more than I had ever seen her. "Years worth!"

Then I thought about it. The blasted Saiyan DNA influenced her. "Mental Cleansing." I casted and she regain a little bit of clarity. Only a little. She would still do her best to kill him though.

"Thanks," Standing up and moving silent thanks to her Lin Kuei and magic, she was gone. Out of the wind she appeared next to Seymour and cut at his throat. "Bing," a magical shield reflected her away.

"Fwoosh " Me and Mileena got there quickly to take care of the guards. They were stronger than we thought. Then I felt the change, the world was already protecting them.

I brought Ostia down with the strength of a rampaging bull. The guardian put up a magical barrier to block me. "Bang," as if I hit a metal going, my hands vibrated. I looked at the guardian who smiled with a smug expression. It didnt stay long, as his face twisted in pain.

"Kuff," he spat up some blood and doubled over. "What strength your a monster!" Grasping at his sides as he bent over.

"Aww shucks, your such a sweet talker." I looked at his neck that he offered up to me and chopped it off. "I just cant pass up this opportunity."

"Schlick" it slid right off. "Whack," I didnt let it land as I kicked the head at another guardian.

"My Khan there are so many of them," Mileena said cheerfully. She started dancing between the bodies as she moved about with a hit and run fighting style. I pushed in swinging with a little force. Enough as before disrupting their barriers.

"Yeah," I yelled as I kicked up the axe hilt. "Ping," the guado guardian blocked it with his sword.

"Grr," he pushed back against me growling. "Why are you doing this?!" He put his hand up and fired a blast of ice. "Blizzara!"

'Biotic Shielding!' I cast to my front. I wanted to try something. The shield started to freeze instantly. I didnt try to stop it. 'Adrenaline Rush!' With that boost, I charged at them like a wrecking ball. Swinging the giant ice ball at them. It was surprisingly fun. Looking I saw Mileena floating up high.

"Tornado!" She moved the winds and wrapped it around the guado guardians. "Suffocate for me." I saw the glint in her eyes. She enjoyed killing them. Not as much as killing the monsters we hunted. But the people were fighters. That made the difference to her.

The winds lifted the Guado soldiers into the air. As they spun little small cuts appeared on their bodies. The deep cuts were on the wrist and legs. Mileena pulled them up to her, then cut the wind the bodies fell helplessly.

"Misty Fist!" I grabbed the water in the air and made spikes for them all to land on. As for my iceball, I let it float around me. Just in case. "Rggh," I grunted pouring some extra magic into the spikes. Hooks formed catching different parts of the raining guado guardians.

"Ahhh," I heard Riku yell as she stabbed at Seymour's heart. With a wave of magic, she was knocked away.

"Thump, thump," she bounced on the ground twice before fixing her self. I could feel her magic from where I stood.

"Thundaga," was all she said as a blast of lighting left her entire body and went towards Seymour. It didnt stop there as she raised her hand up gathering more magic. That is when I felt it in full force. The world was trying to protect Seymour. It was weird considering it was a pillar versus another pillar.

"Oh no, you dont." I stepped forward and sent my magic against it. "Dont get in her way! Come forth Echuilles!"

"Splash," water made of magic appeared. Echuilles was standing on little blankets of water. She had a gown made of water that was almost translucent. Long black hair that flowed like waves. Crystal clear eyes that held the world in apathy. Reaching her hand out a bow formed of water.

'Well, damn.. you need thicker clothes. That is way to distracting. I need you to fend off the magic of the world.' I said giving her the first task she ever received since I acquired her. She nodded and pulled at her bow. All the magical energy that started to head towards Seymour went to her instead.

"Anima!" Seymour yelled. The anchor came from out of the sky getting ready to pull Anima out. Riku was waiting for it.

"Thunderstorm," she smirked. The lightning traveled down the anchor. blasting Anima. "Your Mommie cant protect you boy!" Riku said damn near foaming at the mouth.

"Arrrgg," It bellowed as the electricity burst threw its body. I felt its pain and anguish hit me. I didnt like it at all. Focusing on it I cast Mental Cleansing. I understood the pain even clearer now. "Ooooh," it coed.

"Seriously making a summons out the pain of your mother's death.. how jacked up are you?" Seymour stared at me. He was shocked from what I could tell. "Sorry about this Anmia." It was the distraction Riku needed as her spell kicked up again tearing into him. A bolt of lighting twice as big as before came down.

"Woosh," a blitz ball came from the side that none of us was ready for. It hit the center of Riku's spell dissipating it. "Woosh," the speed it picked from the lighting causing a weird electrical disturbance before it stopped.

"What in the world are you all doing!?" Wakka yelled. "Do you know who that is?"

"Taking care of a problem." I dashed at him ready to cut him down. "Who gives a shit about who he is. Are you that far gone as an idiot zealot to protect him? If you really want to be a devout Yevonite, talk to Auron. He can tell you personally on what that gets you."

"Azul stop!" Riku yelled. It caused me to freeze right in my tracks. I had Ostia right above Wakka's face as I stared at him. "Wakka may hate us Al Bhed, but dont kill him."

"Tch, you got lucky. You were almost on your way to see Chapu." I frowned and moved away. Reaching my hands out I sent the Guado people on there way. "What a drag, Seymour got away. Tsk, close to killing that monster."

"Fwoosh," Mileena appeared next to me. "There is always next time my Khan. It will be monster v.s. monster then. Provided Riku shares this time."

"Mhm, your right." I stared in the air and looked at the Aeon. "Come down Echuilles. You did great." As she decended I wrapped my magic around her and gave her actual clothing. It was just a thicker toga to hide the most important parts.

"Good enough to be set free?" She asked hopeful.

"Sure," I said to her. I then looked to see Mileena and Riku talking. Mileena had her sai pointed at Wakka.

"Really?" She couldnt believe it.

"Yeah. Break the link if you want to right now." I said not caring at this point. I wasnt angry or frustrated. Just didnt care right now if she wanted to leave. Heck, everyone leaves at some time. "Ughh, Mental Cleansing." I cast on myself. I had taken in Seymour and Animas biotic strands on accident.

"No. I dont want to. I just want to.." Echuilles said surprised. Her eyes flashed with magic as if she was talking to someone. "I will stay." She then disappeared.

"Come on Azul," Tidus said. "Riku said there is something called Operation Mi'ihen going on."

"Tch fine." I started to walk with him. Mileena jumped on my back. "Hope your comfy." She nodded. She fell asleep just like that. Spent to much magic to fast. "Sigh, you really like Riku if you did all that for her."

"Is she gonna be ok?" Tidus asked. "I mean, she fights all the time. Or she runs around everywhere. If she isn't doing that, she is reading and talking with you."

"Being ok.. relative. She fights because she enjoys it. She runs around because she was chained down once before. Unable to do anything but what someone else wanted. She reads because I want her to. Reading is nice. It takes us away from problems. As for talking with me... well have you met me? I am a regular old chatterbox." I said as plainly as I could. Using my left hand, I moved it on Mileena's back healing her small bruises as well as supplying her some magic.

"Right," Tidus said sort of getting it. "You would have killed Wakka if she didnt stop you. Wouldnt you?"

"Yup."

"What wouldn't you do for her. For Riku that is?"

"I won't kill Mileena. I wouldn't kill you or the others unless provoked." I thought about it a little more as we walked. "I would burn the rest of the world for her if she asked me to."

"That is intense. It is also bat shit crazy!" Tidus said knowing I was serious. "Is it that important to make her happy?"

"Yes. If it wasnt for her, I wouldn't be here. Unlike you, that is my purpose. Its not like she is gonna ask me to go to a town and kill everyone or something. Mostly people who deserve it."

"Right. She knows they deserve it how?" Tidus asked looking ar Riku with Yuna and Lulu. "I mean she looks the same as a regular teen. Same as me and you. Well same as them. You or abnormal. Even when we were young you acted differently."

"Hmm, I suppose." I just gave him a once over. He was fine just feeling nostaglic I guess. 'Ah, cant tell you are going to die. Heck cant tell you what will happen if Riku doesn't push forward like this.' Seeing Wakka come over I got ready for the stupidity.

"I understand you And Riku arent Yevonites. That doesn't give you the right to murder him. He is the highest summoner. The one most likely to defeat sin.

"Thats nice Wakka." I didnt stop walking. "The highest summoner means shit. Just ask his dear old dad about it. If he can defeat sin, why hasnt he? Why is Yuna and the other Summoners doing this pilgrimage?"

"You forgot about yourself," Wakka said getting in front of me. "Your a summoner as well. You technically are supposed to listen to him!" He balled his fists. "You should obey the High Summoner! With your strength, why dont you become his guardian and help defeat Sin?"

"Overlord's Wrath." I wrapped the magic around him before he knew what was going on. "I.. obey.. no. one." My powers felt out of control. Scenes with fighting with Chari pouring in. "Get out of way boy." I flung him behind me. Not hurting him, but leaving marks that won't heal on his body. "Mental Cleansing," on my self to clear my head.

"Wakka!" Lulu yelled. She and Yuna walked over to help him. "Hah, he's fine. He isn't even hurt. In fact, the poison from the other day is gone."

"You healed him," Yuna said. "Thank you."

"Meh," I shrugged. Me and Tidus continued our talk till we made it to next area. He walked away and went to talk with Yuna. Riku came up beside me and started to remind what was coming next.

"Sinspawn Gui." I muttered. That is what we were up against next. This piece of shit thing got on my ever-loving nerves. "Well time to get a new Aeon."
