Last Story…

Sofia Ostrovsky was an ordinary seventeen year-old girl in our world, who lived on her own after escaping from foster care, which she had been in since her father's disappearance. While she lived in San Francisco, she was also the student of a martial arts and sword expert, Deiru Tamashi. Then, one day, an elemental calamity known as Sin attacked her home, and both Sofia and Deiru were drawn into Spira- a world of magic, fiends born of unsent souls and a diverse population, a grand deal of which wasn't even human. She met Tidus, a blitzball player who was also pulled into Spira, and the two of them were rescued by a tribe of Spirans known as Al Bhed.

There they met a girl named Rikku, who explained to Tidus that his home, Zanarkand, had been destroyed a thousand years ago. After learning this though, the group was separated by an attack from Sin, and Tidus and Sofia awoke in the waters near the isle of Besaid. Whilst there they met the captain of the local blitzball team, Wakka, and Tidus and Sofia greed to help the Aurochs win in an upcoming tournament. Before they left though, they met a young summoner named Yuna, whose duty was to defeat Sin. As the group traveled to Luca, the city where the tournament would take place, Tidus learned that his father had been in Spira as well.

Once at Luca they won the tournament, also meeting religious maesters Mika and Seymour. After the tournament, Sofia met Deiru again, who revealed that he, her father Alexander, Tidus's father, and Auron, a man who looked after Tidus, were all guardians of Yuna's father. And at the end of that pilgrimage, Jecht and Alexander had become Sin. Sofia and Tidus were horrified, but resolved to acknowledge their father's wishes to put an end to their suffering. Afterwards the four rejoined Yuna and the others, continuing the pilgrimage. As they traveled they met Rikku again, who was actually Yuna's cousin and also became a guardian, Yuna and Sofia grew together and became sisters, Tidus and Yuna fell in love, and after a long series of mishaps the group finally reached the home of the Zanarkand. There lied the Final Aeon, the only means of destroying Sin.

There they met Yunalesca, the first summoner, who revealed that Sin would never be truly killed with the Final Aeon, but it was done anyway to provide Spira hope. The group refused this and Yunalesca attacked them, failing and fading away in defeat. The group resolved to find a new way to defeat Sin, one that ensured that it would die forever. They eventually found it- they would have to go within Sin and fight the spirit of Yu Yevon, the person who first created Sin. They group made their way through Sin, and fought Jecht and Alexander at Dream's End, subsequently defeating Yu Yevon. When they won Sin died in a fiery explosion. With Sin gone Deiru and Auron, who had become unsent when they attacked Yunalesca ten years ago, were able to rest in peace and faded away.

Tidus soon followed, having actually been a dream of the fayth, and the fayth had been able to go to rest with Sin gone, their dream ending. Tidus bid them all farewell before fading, and Sofia was able to give Yuna comfort over his passing. At Luca Yuna announced that Sin was finally dead, and that Spira was theirs again to rebuild.

Two years pass…

A New Horizon

Ch.1 YRPS

At the stadium in Luca, an entire crowd was gathered, all cheering for the concert that would start in a few minutes. In the hallways leading to the stands one guard was knocked out, and a girl moved past him towards the stand. Another girl stood over the fallen guard and spoke into a receiver. "Y, R, P, S, in position. It's showtime, girls," she said. Within the middle of the stadium a platform rose into the air, and beneath a mechanical drummer began beating against the drums. On flying hoverboards around the center guitarists began playing. And in the center of the platform was the High Summoner, Yuna. She walked forward and spun around, changing from her garb as a Summoner to Songstress. Yuna began signing.

Far beyond the hazy borders of my heart
I can see a place
It's something like this
Every now and then I don't know what to do
Still I know that I
Can never go back

All the things I've seen
In those hazy dreams
Can't compare to what I see tonight
Everything's so different
That it brings me to my knees

And oh, I know, the world of Real Emotion
Has surrounded me
I won't give into it
Now I know, that world
It is the only way my heart can go
I hear your voice calling out to me
You'll never be alone

What can I do for you

As Yuna sang the girl who spoke into the receiver watched with binoculars. "Hey!" a guard said, grabbing her shoulder and turning her. She smiled at him, before suddenly kicking him in the side of head, knocking him out on the spot. She had long blond hair that was braided and possessed several beads, held back with a blue bandana. Hey eyes were a green swirl unique to all Al Bhed, and they gleamed with mischief. She wore a yellow bikini top and an olive mini skirt with ruffled sleeves, and two pouches at her waist. Rikku. The other girl slid down the rail of the stairs and jumped, landing next to her.

This girl had short silver hair and red eyes, and wore a black leather ensemble complete with a folded top, high-heeled boots and elbow-length gloves. At the front of her belt was a skull, and around her neck she wore a silver pendant threaded with a barbed wire chain and a black collar. Paine. "Hey!" a third voice said. Rikku and Paine to see a third girl run up to them, but she was stopped by two guards. One of them tried grabbing her, but she grasped him arm and hit him with an uppercut to the stomach. The guard doubled over, and she threw him into his partner. They both stumbled near the edge, and she hit one the she had punched with hammer blow to the chest, knocking them both over the edge.

The last girl was me, and had long pitch-black hair that fell to my knees, and piercing amethyst eyes. My arms were corded with muscle, not a lot but enough for it to be apparent that I worked out. I wore a black sleeveless top and black army trousers, complete with black steel-toed boots. On my back was two swords sheaths crossed in an X, one silver and the other gold. My name is Sofia Ostrovsky. The three of us joined together and jumped onto a hoverboard, riding to the center platform and jumping down. "Hey! Give it back already!" Rikku said. The girl who looked like Yuna smiled in a rather arrogant way, and said in another voice "Oh, boys!" Two goons in green outfits with veils appeared.

"Want in on this number? Then show me your moves!" the girl said, backing away. Rikku drew two short red blades while Paine held a long black blade with a skull at the hilt, and I, rather than drawing my weapons, deciding to use just my hands and feet. "Think you can keep up?" Rikku asked. The two Goons charged and slashed with their knives, Rikku blocked one with her blades and kicked him in the stomach. The wind was knocked out of him, and Paine knocked him cold with a blow to the back of the head with the butt of her sword. I dodged the attack of the other Goon and gave him a chop to the neck, cutting off his air before I drove boot into between his legs, ending the sequence with a punch the face that crushed the goon's nose.

Both of them fell, and Paine said "I could have danced all night." The girl who looked like Yuna grunted and said "Sorry, no time for an encore!" She turned and ran, jumping off the platform and onto the edge of the stands, running out. "Oh no you don't!" I said, jumping off and running after her. Rikku and Paine did the same. "Hold still!" Rikku called, putting on an extra burst of speed. I was ahead of them because of my additional speed, and I could see the distance between myself and the imposter getting smaller. But then she put on an extra burst of speed as well, and rounded around a corner. "Hey, you run too fast!" Rikku complained.

Just then a tall man with a thin face, wearing a purple-blue robs and hat walked out in front of us. "You're too slow, little girl," he said, drawing a pair of pistols. From the other side a short but very bulky man wearing the same outfit, save for a large shield, joined him. "Show's over! Bwahaha!" he said. I grunted and prepared to draw my swords, before Paine said "This way!" I looked and saw her and Rikku moving around both the two men and a tower of crates. I followed them and the two men shouted, not having realized that we could do that. They chased after us and I smiled; the tall one might catch up, but definitely not the short one. Once we rounded the corner we caught sight of the imposter again, and I strained to catch up.

We were reaching the end of the docks, and I realized that we needed to catch up to the imposter if we had any chance of catching her. "You aren't getting away!" I yelled, and I caught sight of set of crates that were set like stairs. I ran towards them and ran up, leaping off of the top. The jump sent me high into the air, and I could see the imposter below. I smiled and pulled my arm back, calling "Take this! Demi!" A sphere of black energy flew forward from my hand, and it hit the ground and in front of the imposter, creating a blast of gravity-increasing energy. The imposter didn't stop in time and was caught, being hauled to the ground.

I smiled and flipped over, landing on the ground in front of the imposter. Her two henchmen saw this and were about to turn around, when a flurry of gunfire hit the ground in that direction. They stopped, and looked in time to see Yuna, the real Yuna, land in front of them. Her blue and green eyes were the same as before, but her hair was cut short in tomboy-ish style, save for a single braid that fell to her ankles. She was wearing a halter-top with a pink hood and a Zanarkand Abes symbol on her chest. Yellow armbands were on her biceps and she wore a black wristband on her left wrist. On her lower half were jean boyshorts, a pouch on her left hip, an ankle-length blue and white sash, and laced knee-high boots.

Yuna smirked and held up a pair of pistols. I cast Demi again, only for an extended period time, and made sure the imposter was stuck to the ground before I ran up, my swords drawn. "Nice to see you could make it, sis," I said. Yuna chuckled. "Like I'd miss this?" she said. "The time has come! Game's up!" the short goon said, drawing his shield and running forward. I jumped back and cast Libra, leaning that the short one's name was Ormi and the tall one was Logos. "Take this!" I said, and cast Bio. A puddle of green poison burst from the ground in front of Ormi, and he had to stop to avoid stepping in it. "Parting is such sweet sorrow," Logos quoted, before unleashing a Hail of Bullets.

Paine held up her sword to block and Rikku and Yuna hit the ground, while I leaped over the line of fire. Rikku stood and ran forward, slashing with her blades at Logos. She scored a hit on his arm and one on his chest, using sticking her hand in his pockets and swiping a Potion as she ran back. "Hey! That's stealing!" Ormi yelled, and he charged with his shield. Paine calmly stuck her foot out and tripped him, and he shouted as he face-planted against the ground. Yuna laughed and pointed her gun at him, saying "Don't move." Ormi paused for a second and looked up, before laughing and jumping up. Yuna fired but he held his massive shield n front of him, the bullets bouncing off.

Yuna frowned and called "Try this then!" before using Trigger Happy. In the span of five seconds she fired an entire clips of bullets, and each hit made Ormi slide a little further back. He didn't realize it, but with each push he was nearing the edge where a shove would send him into the water. Logos saw it though, and leveled his own pistol at Yuna and fired. She cried out in pain as the bullet hit her in the arm, but luckily it was just a flesh wound. All the same, I whipped my head and glared at him. "Okay, now you've pissed me off!" I yelled. "Yeah! No one hurts Yunie, or any of the rest of us!" Rikku added. "Let's get him," Paine said. We nodded and charged forward, all three of us attacking at once.

Logos was too overwhelmed by the triple assault to try dodging, and while Rikku slashed an X on his chest and Paine hit him on the head with the flat of her blade, I sheathed my sword placed my hands against the ground, swinging my feet and kicking Logos on the side of the kneecap. There was an audible crunch, and his eyes bulged wide before he fell to the ground, crying out and holding his dislocated kneecap. Ormi saw that his comrade was down and said "Hey!" before spinning around on one foot. As expected we all turned, and looked just in time to see Ormi's shield flying like a giant deadly Frisbee at us. I was still on the ground and stayed there, and Paine joined me.

Rikku wasn't fast enough though, and was hit in the stomach hard enough to double her over and send her flying. "Rikku!" Yuna called, having healed her bullet wound with a Potion. She knelt by her cousin, who was groaning and holding her stomach. But then she stood and uncorked the Potion she had stolen, quickly drinking it. The bruise on her stomach promptly vanished. I smiled and stood; now Ormi had no weapon, and Logos was down with that injury. But then we heard a voice that said "That's quite enough sniveling, boys," and the fake Yuna walked forward, having escaped my Demi spell. She retrieved Ormi's shield and handed it to him, also giving Logos a Hi-Potion.

"Persistent, aren't you?" the imposter asked, facing us. Yuna glared at her. "My grid," she said simply. "You give us back Yunie's Garment Grid right now!" Rikku yelled. "Didn't you girls ever learn to share?" the imposter asked. Yuna's eyebrows furrowed. "Give it back!" she demanded, growing angry. The imposter sighed. "Very well; it's yours," she said, taking out a sphere and tossing it. Once it left her hands though, the imposter flashed with light and and changed back too her true persona: our rival sphere hunter and enemy, Leblanc. She raised her fan and said "But it won't be yours for long, loves!"

Well, there's the first chapter of A New Horizon. I have a question though: do you all think I should increase the length of these chapters to three-thousand words? If I do the chapters will indeed be long, but it might take a extra day or so I finish writing each one. That being said, here's the first chapter itself, and next one will be the hunt on Gagazet, along with what has happened since the previous story!

Please review! If you flame me Liam Neeson will look for you, he will find you, and he will kill you. (I'm just kidding... or am I?)
