Final Fantasy IX/X-2: Melodies of the Gullwings

Steiner drawn out his sword. "Wait! I, Steiner, shall escort the princess back to the castle!" and he charged at at teh Black Waltz after it used it's superior speed to avoid the elemental attacks and fired off a Blizzard at Rikku before being cut by Steiner, damaged a little but then ice was cut by Yuri who somehow got in front of Rikku in time.

"Not while I'm around." he simply said as Zidane leapt at the Black waltz and tired to slash as him but the Black Waltz cast Thunder upon the him and Zidane was sent flying back.

 

Garnet cured him while Jecht did a Blizzard sword with Vivi.

 

the Black Waltz was hit by Jecht's Blizzard Sword as Yuri charged at the Black Waltz. "Shigure Souen Style 5: Samidare! (Early Summer Rain) as he slashed diagionlly but midway, he let go of his sword other for the sword to land in his other hand as the Black Waltz flew and fell to the floor.

"Wh-Why!?" he lay on the ground as his eyes closed as he died and Yuri breathed a bit as Steiner did notice the attack "You...switched hands midway through that attack..." He was a bit surprisred as he sleathed his sword as Yuri smiled. "Shigure Souen Style 5 Samidare, I slash digionlly and midway I switch my sword to the other hand as it also puts off the timing off my opponents."

Steiner was impressed to say the least but Zidane noticed Dagger was worried and Steiner looked at the princess. "No, it can't be! it was just another crinminal trying use you for some evil deed!" As Steiner looked at Zidane as the said man looked at everyone. "Shall we rest or get on?" he asked them.

 

"We'll last get some rest." Yuna headed for the inn to see her adopted child.

 

Zidane nodded at Yuna and walked to the inn with everyone as he noticed the innkeeper was still lying on his desk. "He's out cold..." he said to hismelf and poked him awake as the innkeeper stared at Vivi "I thought they captured it already." he thought to himself.

Zidane knew what the guy was thinking and had an idea. "Hey I know the girls are cute but it's rude to stare." as the man sweatdropped. "Oh, no, I wasn't staring at the young ladies..." he noticed Jecht and Braska's stares look and he gulped. "Th-the room is through the door..." "...Stay calm!"

Zidane nodded and walked through teh door as Yuri followed and Zidane chuckled. "That was priceless!"

 

Yuna hugged her child and sighed. She sat on the bed.

 

Yuri pulled out his leath with the sword still in as he sat on a chair as Steiner looked at them. "m-Maybe we should get some early sleep for teh trip to Lindblum tomorrow!" Steiner got into a chair and closed his eyes.

Zidane looked at him. "Well, Rusty's right, we didn't rest much ever since from the trip from Evil Forest to here and we fought a Black Waltz." Zidane lied on his bed, closing his eyes as Yuri didn't notice Rikku taking short looks at him as he moved around as little in teh chair and put his sleathed sword in his arm and soon drifted off to sleep.

 

Rikku fell asleep with her cousin and the other Gullwings in the corner of the room. Dagger took the other bed, Jecht sat next to Vivi's bed. Yuna thought she might find him in Lindblum or even in the village.

 

At some time during midnight, Yuri's eyes opened up slightly as he heard breathing all round and he stood up before sliently walking otu of the inn and strenched himself and sat down underneath the window of the inn as the cold breeze blew slightly.

 

A soft and beautiful melody by a pair of female voices could be heard.

 

Yuri's ears heard the melody and he listened to it. "Who is doing this?" He looked up at the window and looked through.

 

The melody continued for awhile than stopped.

 

Yuri wondered what that tune was as he couldn't see who sung it and he strenched. "Time to head back in I suppose" he crepped back in and settled himself back into the chair and soon, sleep fell upon his eyes once again.

 

Yuna woke up when the room was lit and stretched.

 

Zidane was awake as well as he got off his bed and brushed out the creases while Steiner was standing at the door, awake as well as he looked at the others. "Still asleep huh?" Zidane said to himself as Yuri moved slightly and opened his eyes.

 

Vivi and Jecht woke up and Braska escorted the princess to the door. Yuna carried her child on her back after changing to Warrior, Rikku changed to Thief and followed her. Paine followed as well.

 

Zidane and Yuri followed as did Steiner until they reached the airship. "Wait here while I go inside and ask the people to see if we can hitch a ride." but Steiner spoke up

"I-I shall go and ask them!" He said and Zidane was suspicious. "Oh, really. how come?" he asked him. "Th-This si not your benefit! I am onyl doign this for the princess!" And with that said, Steiner ran aboard the airship.

 

"Zidane, do you think this airship is really going to Lindblum?" Dagger asked.

 

Zidane heard Dagger's question. "No. It'll probably take us straight to Alexandria Castle."

 

"What? Why are we getting on a ship not heading for Lindblum?"
