((Was listening to Indestructible when I wrote this one.  Take a guess lol.))<br/><br/><strong>1400 Hours Current Location;  Spira, during the Everlasting Calm.  Besaid Island.  Third Contestant's name;  Yuna, High Summoner Braska's Daughter....</strong><br/><br/>Lady Yuna, Yuna the singer, and Yuna the Sphere Hunter.  These names and more she knew of and accepted stoically as she looked out the window of the airship Celsius which was being driven by Brother, Rikku's brother to be precise.  Rikku was a cousin since her father, High Summoner Braska, had married an Al Bhed woman and Yuna had been the result of that union between a summoner of Yevon and an 'unclean' member of the Al Bhed, machina tinkerers who used the forbidden tech to do tasks otherwise impossible, such as lifting up an ancient airship from the ocean to use later during the war against Sin.  If it hadn't have been for that and so many other things along her journey as a summoner with her dear friends and Guardians, the peace Spira knew now would not have existed....nor would she have met him, a 'dream' created by the Fayths who had been constantly asleep thanks to Yu Yevon's influence and using their power to make Sin again and again when it was destroyed by the Final Aeon.  The cycle had been broken, the 'spiral of death' ended thanks to the actions of Yuna and her companions during such a tumultuous time, and now things were settling down yet again after the destruction of Vegnagun, an ancient machina of terrible power that had been as powerful if not more so than Sin itself.<br/><br/>That had been one adventure too many, but again if not for herself, Rikku, and Paine, they wouldn't be there now, going to a festival held once a year to commemorate the fall of Sin once and for all, and she was the guest of honor.  However, they weren't going to make the party on time.  Something big flashed across the window to her room, and Yuna knew what it was from rumors heard about a giant red wyvern that had taken to flying around Besaid island at irregular intervals.  Dragons were no strange occurrence, but this one was strange to Spira since it didn't follow any known behaviors of the species.  Normally they nested, ate wild fiends weaker than they, and bred more if their eggs weren't smashed or eaten by predators.  This one didn't have a mate and just seemed content to cause havoc with airships like the Celsius, bringing them down from the sky to watch them burn.  Before Brother's voice echoed over the speakers, Yuna had already grabbed her equipment and was already heading to the roof of the ship to deal with the threat.  "Yuna!  We have a problem!"<br/><br/>"I know Brother.  I'm heading up top to take it down.  Just keep us on a steady course!"  She shouted back, heading up the elevator and holding on for dear life when Brother had to make a sharp turn to the right to avoid a fireball from the beast.  It had an uncanny awareness for a wyvern as well, but that didn't bother the former summoner as she drew out her twin pistols as her Gunner Dresssphere took form around her body.  Switching Dress Spheres was quite weird at first, especially for those that watched it happen as one outfit faded and another formed right behind the old one, but for Yuna it was second nature, if that since she'd been doing it for so long.  The doors opened and the girl jumped forward as another fire ball flew right into the elevator shaft she had just left, barely avoiding getting singed in the process as she landed on her feet, guns blazing with a hail of well aimed bullets.  This was something new for the wyvern as it gave a startled roar and flew off to avoid getting shredded, but it still felt pain as Yuna landed more than a dozen hits in that short time.  It appeared again on the right side of the ship, clouds passing by at a fast pace as it tried to slam down on the roof, but Yuna was having none of that as she pulled the triggers to her guns in another wild burst, keeping it at bay and off the Celsius.  If it had landed, the entire ship would have gone down because of the thing's size and obvious weight as it opened its wings wide to fly off again, only giving the Gunner a bigger target to hit.<br/><br/>Again its wings were torn into, making flying difficult thanks to the many holes punched through its leathery hide, and it was losing a fair amount of blood in the process thanks to the girl's pinpoint accuracy.  The chest was heavily armored, but Yuna knew the head and stomach were also weaknesses to the beast before her from past encounters with its kind, and it was proven true here as it flew in again only to get turned back as it was rained down upon by Yuna's weapons of choice.  It might have been considered machina weaponry once upon a time, and thus forbidden, but she was grateful for their power now as the dragon was turned back again and again.  It tried to dive bomb her next, spitting balls of fire one right after another as it strafed the ship, but it didn't get the chance as Yuna jumped onto its back as it passed, narrowly avoiding getting toasted in the process.  Gving another startled scream, the dragon turned its serpentine neck about and was just in time to receive ten more slugs down its opened mouth and into its brain.  That was the end of it as the ship passed underneath the fading beast, many points of multicolored lights forming as it died, which were called Pyreflies.  Better known as spirits of the dead that had collected and formed into the dying beast, Yuna landed on her hands and knees back on the Celsius, a little out of breath from that intense aerial fight, but otherwise alright beyond smelling like smoke and ash.  "You're ALIVE!  HAHA!  I knew you could do it Yuna!"<br/><br/>She could only shake her head in amusement at Brother's enthusiasm but was interrupted in her own reverie as a bladed weapon slammed home at her feet, displaying words in the yellow center.  "What's this thing?"  She wandered aloud as she holstered her guns and picked the thing up, seeing the same thing that Giselle had earlier.  A map similar to what the others had seen appeared in a holographic projection from the center of the ninja like star she held in her hand, and then a face of her heart's true love appeared, and Yuna nearly dropped it.  "Brother, we have to go somewhere else.  Set a course for Mushroom Rock Road."<br/><br/>"What why?  We're nearly to Besaid Island!"  Yuna went down to the cockpit and Brother looked into her mix matched eyes and knew he'd just better shut up and do as she said.  Something was up, and if he had to guess, it was to do with Tidus and why he had gone missing without a trace.  He would have been right as well.....
