The Melodries of the Gullwings: Final Fantasy IX/X-2

Yuri heard the tram's wheels slowly coming to a halt as he noticed they were at the top station. "We're here huh?" He thought to himself and stood up. "Please disembark!" The tram driver said as Yuri had gotten off and looked around, it seemed the South Gate was still in repairs, the tram driver mentioned a resting area where the people can wait for the other tram to arrive as Yuri looked out the other side of the gate, it was the terrority of Alexandria.

"Princ-Miss Dagger" Steiner caught himself and continued. "We're back." He said to her.

 

The others got off, Dagger and Yuna stared at the distance. Shuyin just looked away and headed for the rest area with Terya.

 

Yuri turned to the rest area as well as Tidus was amzed. "Whoa..." he palced ahand above his eyes, it was at times like this, he wished he had binoculars btu he saw the others enter the rest area. "What are their problems with the view?" he asked a bit aloud.

 

Yuna shrugged her shoulders and went to the rest area as well.

 

Tidus followed suit as Yuri sat at a table a shis back was against the nearby wall until he heard something, a chime as the announcer spoke. "Tram heading for Linblum has left!" he called out, this meant they'd have to wait until the other one arrived now as Tidus poked Yuri. "What's up, you look like you got something on your mind Yuri." he said as he took a available seat nearby.

"Oh, just thinking about Burmecia, that's all." He said to him, it wasn't a full-out lie at least. "Home huh?" He asked him as Yuri had to give off a small laugh. "My house is no longer there, so I don't really have a place to call home anymore." He said as Tidus's eyes widened.

"But what about your father? I mean, when I was with you before I set off, you two got along." he said as Yuri's blue hair covered his eyes. "Alot's happened after you left, he's...not around anymore." He said solemnly as Tidus thought it and his eyes widened before he had a sad look. "Sorry man...I didn't know." He said, he knew what it was like without family.

"It's not your fault." Yuri said as he turned his head, not making eye contact with his friend.

 

"I hope Rikku and the others are alright." Yuna sat with them, her bag of supplies filled.

 

Tidus wondered about that. "Well, their group is bigger than ours right? So they can cover each other or switch out at any time." Tidus said thoughtfully as Yuri looked at him. "That depends on whose at Burmecia." He said as Tidus looked at him. "But, isn't strength in numbers a good thing?" he asked a bit confused.

"Numbers aren't everything Tidus, even one person can take down more people than equal terms, take yourself for example, you focus on speed and swift strikes, with your boundless energy, you could easily bring down more than one enemy yourself, provided you excel in what you do." Yuri explained as Tidus thought it. "I see, but what about the others?"

"Everyone's good in an area they specialize in and have their own tricks, take the girl's garment grids for instance, they have a advantage by switching between classes and tactics that can be endless, while Auron can only specialize in power and strength."

"Then what about you Yuri?" he asked as Yuri thought about it, "I'm...unpredictable with a sword style, of course, that does allow the enemy to counterattack when I move in a certain way, everyone's styles has a weakness and we work around that to get stronger." Yuri explained.

 

Yuna nodded when Dagger heard something familiar and went out to investigate.

 

"This is because you wanted to eat the Bundt Cake Cinna." Marcus voice spoke as Cinna groaned. "But it tastes so good Brother." He said

"Well, I won't tell Boss." Marcsu said as Cinna grinned. "Thanks, now let's ear another Bundt Cake!" He said a she ran back into the cafe as Marcus shrugged and followed him.

"Did you and Yuna try out that again?" Tidus asked as Yuri knew what he meant, he was talking about the DoubleGrid, Yuna and Yuri practiced against some creatures of teh Mist on their way to the South Gate and surprisely, they adapted to the new fighting style quickly as Yuri accidently discovered with the DoubleGrid belt, he could telepathically commuicate with Yuna and the same with herself, of course someone had to protect Yuri's uninhabited body for the duration of the battle.

"It's actually going well, we figured about a bit more about the strange system it revovles around, it has something similar to an ultimate attack called "Final Attack." with the corresponding spheres, however, we have to synchronize for it to fully use it's power."

"I wonder how it feels, not being in your body and having someone else's mind," he said thoughtfully. "It feels strange the first time but we got used to it, almost like partners." he said as Tidus looked at him "Your so lucky to have someone like Yuna be your partner, I think many guys would kill for that kind of relationship."

Yuri rubbed his blue hair. "Hey hey, I don't see that way Tidus, besides, she's got a man already and searching for him." he said as Tidus thought about it. "if he knew, he'd probably kill you for being inside her...spiritually." he laughed at that as Yuri chuckled nervously as he thought to himself, making sure Yuna had not heard his thoughts. "I wouldn't be surprised if you acted that way Tidus, boy, if he gets his memories back, me and her have alot of explaining to do." he thought to himself, he was actually dreading when that day came.

 

Dagger quietly followed them back to the rest area and Yuna noticed them.

 

Steiner bounced up and down. "What are you doing here?!" he aske,d pointing at Marcus and Cinna and Yuri heard the noise as well as Tidus, who couldn't with that armor clanking.

"hey...isn't he that guy...who..what's it called? Knights of...?" Cinna asked him as Marcus looked at him. "Dunno, all I remember was that he's a bad actor." He said in response. "Oh yeah, him!" Cinna remembered as Steiner was glaring.

 

Yuna sighed while Dagger placed her hips, "Steiner, please! Can I talk with my friends?"

 

"Fr-Friends?!" he said until he felt a bonk on his helmet, revealing it to eb Yuri with his sheathed weapon. "Control youself, Steiner, If she says they are friends then that's what they are, or are you suggesting she'd have no one to talk to and be that sheltered from the outside world?" He asked as Steiner was easily silenced. "F-fine, one problem though and I shall remedy the situation!" He said Yuri returned where his sheathed weaponw as suppsoed to be, underneath the cloak. "Whatever works best for you."

Cinna was impressed. "You got scolded by her and told by ally? You got owned there." Cinna said as Marcus looked at dagger. "Why are you here? Didn't Zidane take you to Lindblum?" he asked her.

 

"We got to Lindblum, but he kept treating me like a child. So......." Dagger sighed, Yuna smiled and sighed. Terya took out of her helmet and smiled at them.

 

"So you left him for good huh." Marcus said, a bit surprised. "Well, we have our reasons for returning to Alexandria." Yuri said, changing the subject. "But what about yourselves apart from escaping from Evil Forest."

"We made it out but Cinna was meant to head to the hideout in Lindblum and wait for our Boss while I head back to search of something we need." Marcus answered.

 

"Maybe we can travel together." Yuna suggested.

 

"That depends on what you guys are doing." Marcus said as they heard an annoucement that the other Tram had just arrived. "Better head off, I'll save out Bro." he said to Cinna as he walked to the station.

"...Must be Blank." Yuri thought, he remembered he was petrified within Evil Forest when he saved Zidane from being caught..

 

Yuna sighed and waited for the tram to Alexandria.

 

Yuri headed out as the ram already arrived as Marcus got on board as Cinna watched him. "Well, better tell the others." He said and he called them from the entrance as Yuri got on as did Tidus and the otehrs as Yuri sat upon one of the benches and Tidus did the same as Steiner saw Dagger approach Yuri and Steiner kept a eyeful watch on them.

"Is it about earlier?" He asked her in a very quiet voice.

 

Dagger nodded, "In truth, I thought Yuna was the only one who knew of my plan. I was quite surprised when you opened the bag."
