A/n: Yeah, so I'm back with this fanfic. I haven't seen anyone at the moment have something to do with this... okay that didn't make sense but then again whatever don't mind me for that. I would just like to say that I thank all the other people who have read my others fics and the one who might be reading this one right now. I just don't know how people can write that good... oh well, I have a feeling that this is going to be a good one! Yeah, and if you want the fluff, you gotta wait awhile.
Summary:
As time passes things may be different and things may stay the same. When the sun rises and shines upon the world, it is a new day but some things stay behind. Zanarkand is known for it's machina and the city who carries the name that it never sleeps. This city, sometimes it is deadly and at other times it is not. At some parts of this city, when the sun sets, things are deadly and when it rises all is normal. People take good use of the machina but until one day things change while the others are left behind.
Chapter 1 The Core
Yuna POV
I loathed that man, the leader of the ZAMS (which is the Zanarkand Armed Machina Security). I loathed him for a reason, why would I not? This reason, it had always stayed within me which made me not forget what was my goal in life. Things are so harsh sometimes but I still go on yet... there are things in my head that I never let go and it stays whenever there is a new day. That is because of him. I despised that man. He is why I never moved on at some times. I never understood him and why he did his doings that were nothing to him. He ended so many lives and mine was nearly included in the count.
My parents were perished by the machina that he carried. I didn't know how it happened but they all went haywire and destroyed whatever they could. People, cities, lands, you name it. But the man, he didn't do anything about it and I nearly died at his commands. My parents were going to break into his facility since the both of them were agents of the Tight Fusions. Unfortunately, they didn't make it and I was passed to my guardian, Auron. He saved me, too, but in the process his life had come to and end. That was when I was passed to my cousin. It was fortunate that I still had her but her family, there was also nothing left of it. I was only seven that time and with his machina in existence, a war was at place. It is still going... until now. And now, I am nineteen. I am old enough to break into his facility and break down the ZAMS. But I couldn't do that alone.
Not being able to do that alone, I replenished and made something out of the Tight Fusions. Once again, this agency is put back to use and I am one of the agents. Let's just say that I am the leader. There isn't much of us, only my cousin, a friend of ours and I. I asked a manufacture in Zanarkand to make the suits that we wear. It is similar to the ones that my mother used to be wearing when she was still alive. Each of us, that is the three of us had suits that were similar yet different in the abilities that it gave us.
Mine is called the Prima Guardian in the colours of light blues, blacks and white. Rikku, my cousin, her suit, the Prima Blazer is in the colours of, gold, white, and some yellows. Our third companion, Paine, her suit the Prima Fusion is made up of whites, blacks, and grays. Our suits gives us abilities that my mother once had. Each time if we are to defeat hunks of machina, it is getting harder each time as we go on. And that leads us to upgrading them. We buy our upgrade chips in Zanarkand where our suits were manufactured. And now, we've put our suits to the use.
To take down the facility of the ZAMS then we would have to be brave enough to get into to the database without having any thoughts to be running away. This is why I never wanted to fall to a man. That was not also the only reason but it is because what happened to me some time ago. I didn't want to think about it at this moment because we were almost to the core in the first stage in the ZAMS. All we needed to do was to find the heart of the database and that would be it. Kill it and move on.
The three of us split up and moved out to cover more ground. The room that we were walking down through had a metallic corridor that lead to three separate rooms at the end. I took the middle, Paine the right and Rikku the left. We were almost there and I didn't want anything unfortunate to happen at this time during our first mission.
We entered the rooms that each one of us that we have taken and that, I was on my own. I held out my right hand where I was used to using my palm shot. There was never a time when I should put down my guard and let myself be vulnerable. Walking to the middle of the room, I saw this lady that was standing there as if she was waiting for someone. I didn't dare move forward but I also didn't want to hurt her but if I would have to with no choice at my side then I would. She spoke with a voice that was sure that she had found the right person. "I have been waiting for you," she whispered. "I know why you are here but I am to stop you. I know that you want to take down the ZAMS because of what happened to your parents." I studied her. She had a suit like us, the Tight Fusions.
How did she know these things about me? I wanted to finish my mission but she was in the way. "Who are you, and how do you know those things about me?" I knew that I was wasting time this had to end. "You cannot stop me, I am here to bring down the core in the database. I am sorry but you're going have to go." She put out her right hand and was going to fire me with a palmshot of her own, I right-stepped dodged it with a flexible twirl and palm-shot her with my right hand. She fell to the ground but she wasn't at an end just yet. She was going to stand up and consult to the abilities to her suit, her Energy Drive. I think that it's the Griffin, since her suit was like mine but how did she get it? I didn't have to know, all I had to do is to stop her. Before she could act her doing, I did the Energy Drive, Griffin. I was sorry but her life was ended. I looked away at the crushed body and saw that this was the room before the Core Room. I went out of this room and went to get the others.
They were already standing in front of the doors when I had arrived to tell them that I had the room where we were supposed to be headed. "We're supposed to be going in this room," I pointed out, they nodded. "Right, you both remember the plans that we've made already. To go in, kill whatever machina and then deal with the core. No running back out here, okay?" We all nodded and then resumed through the room.
I walked passed the body on the floor and the other two seemed to decide that they would ask me later why it was there in existence. For some reason, I felt guilty ending her life but it was needed. I shook my head and resumed with our task that we had to carry on. We leaned against the wall that was fixed before the core room. My cousin spoke up, "Okay, so we head out in there and then take out the machina that went haywire?" I didn't choose to talk, only nod. She licked her lips and then put out her hand, ready to attack.
"Yeah, so running away, Rik," Paine muttered. She too had her hand held out. "Ready?" she asked.
"Ready," Rikku and I responded. That was supposed to be my line but then I let it slip this time. There was a bigger situation this time. We all nodded and walked beyond the doors. There was a corridor that ended shortly that opened up to the room that held the core room. There was no time to stop and do nothing. We searched out the area beyond us and saw that there were two machinas set at each side of the core. These were the ones that could take us out in one shot so we had to duck, wait for it to finish firing, then head out and kill it. We all knew what to do and so we did it.
We couldn't shoot the core right at this moment, there was a barrier and we had to wait until it would have a gap within it at a time. That also made it a challenge but I wasn't going to back out of it. Walking up to the core, the machina spotted us and began to collect the energy for the beam that they were going to shoot at us. We swiftly back-flipped to the corridor and we could see the approaching beam, we were safe but we had to come out the right time and shoot the core with our palm shots. There, the gap. I first ran forward when all was clear and hurried to shoot the core, Rikku and Paine acted to destroy the machina doing their Energy Drives.
Rikku did her Harrier with golden glows of power at her hand, her suit was in complete use. Bending back, her leg was in the air, straight with her arms held out. Then she released the beams and they bounced off the walls, obliterating the piece of machina. She smiled and then looked at Paine. Paine nodded and acted. With her right leg stepped out and bent in front of her, the other one was straight and her arms were out at her sides. Her suit was fully in use now and the part that was directly connected to her spinal cord was in use. The blue transparent balls of light were at her hands. She crossed her arms with her hands pointing at each other with the back of her palms. Reversing of what she just done, she uncrossed them and released the beams. The machina that she was taking care of was demolished.
As for me, I was done with the core and it broke down. The wires were cut and it fell unsupported with no source. Finally, we were done with the first core. All we had to do is take down the other ten cores. The problem was, the three of us didn't know where they were. That was to be fixed later. Turning around, the machina gave out explosions behind the three of us. Our shadowed silhouettes were standing out with the light behind us. Now I thought about the woman that I had encountered some time before. Who was she? I didn't want to do what I did to her but it made me closer to bringing the leader of the ZAMS.
A/n: So what do you guys think? Tell me if you want me to continue and I thank you for reading it.
