Chapter 138 - Final Fantasy X End Part 2

Azul faced Gui by himself. the others went further ahead to deal with things. Their was no discussion about it. They hightailed as quick as possible once receiving word from Sapphire about trouble with a summoner getting dragged away by forces of Guado.

Sinspawn Gui is made up of four parts: the body, the head, and two arms. The body and the head moved unnaturally. To Azul it looked like a very weird Scorpion. Just a... demented one. It would fit in well in the World of Devil May cry. The pincers looked really powerful as well.

Nurgle: It looks so cuddly.

'Yeah.. the hell it does. Such strange taste. Hmm, a good pet for you. Well to make stronger anyway. I think we will leave hear to act as a Guardian.' Azul shot forward with Flame Fist activated. He felt Nurgle give him some power. The flames received a green tint. 'Greedy for what is infecting them huh, very well.'

"Grrruuu most.. stop you." Gui voice came out strained. The mandibles twitched a little. "Danger.. to.. the World.." It used the spell Thunder. Both strikes his the ground missing Azul.

'True Rising Dragon Fist!' Azul kicked from underneath and went up in a burst of power. A trail of green flames all around his body. He made contact against both the stomach carrying higher up into the face tail. "Yah!" Afrer the contact, he held in place before the head kicked back to far and struck out.

"Whaaam!" Gui's head whipped back from the additional force. Flames spreading across its body.

"Bzzzzt!" A blast of electricity left from the pincers. Azul danced between the two. Both spun around him and reconnected to create a bigger blast. It was green and much stronger, but unstable.

'Biotic Shielding.' Azul triggered with a simple thought. Wrapped in the biotic protection, the fire disrupted the attack with ease. A shine passed around. Redirected into a platform to apply a good foot hold for Azul.

Gui rebounded trying to bite Azul. It's pincers casting Thunder again.

'Foolish," Azul pushed of destroying the platform from the force. 'Hurricane Scythe Kick!' As he spun, the flames bombarded Gui's downbelow from his pointing down leg. He was casting from his foes.

Inferna, the True Flame Rune glowed brightly as she added more power to it. A devasting Firaga hit against the bottom half of Gui as Azul kept kicking it. Seeing it's health plummet was nice to see. He moved back and sent another attack forward.

'Concussive Shot!' The flames gathered and powered the move up as he fired at the bottom area. "Hah!" It shot out like a cannonball causing slight pain in Azul's palm. "Well, damn. Nice upgrade all around."

"Fwoosh!" The fire burn bright before making contact. Gui was engulfed in green light as it started to become stronger. But that was eliminated by a burst of pain from behind it's back. Azul teleported over and placed his hands forward using Mental Cleansing to erode the taint away.

"Nooo.. mustt.. protect.." Gui went mad but it couldn't beat but attacks back in it's current state. From the center of it's body, A control nodule was forced out. But it didn't get far as the World locked down on it, keeping it in place.

"Booom!" The device self-destructed instead of falling in enemy hands. Gui's body started to condense to a humanoid one. A World Shard flew out to Azul. Anima grabbed it and pulled it inside him for safe keeping.

System: Gui has turned into a Supporting Pillar. Rewards in inventory.

"I will do you proud my Summoner." Gui was a very strange young man. Dressed in scorpion based armor. But it was funny, his eye look liked that of an Al Bhed. "By your leave." He nodded and vanished.

'Hmm, I wonder what he knew. Good look when searching through the World Shard.' Azul was about to Teleport to the others, but stopped with her next words. 'Come again?!'

'A group of Users are heading to the Al Bhed encampment. They are rolling in deep. If you do not help, it will be the end of all that was built there. That is only a little bit of what I discovered.' Anima was still going through the World Shard as she spoke. 'I think we can intercept them before then.'

"Haaa, the others should be fine till I get to them. Hmmm, Ariel, Inferna go assit them." Both left Azul and shot off. 'Teleport!' Azul amped up his magic and was gone. It was a far trip to take.

.

A few weeks later-

.

AzuI tried to return to the others after wiping out the User force. But he couldn't get a bearing on them. And worse, someone was blocking transmissions to the others. A few of them resist the control as best they could but to many of their Companions were under the control as well. Fighting against their own forces kept them in check. Pulled punches.

Freeing the Companions with a burst of power from Azul amplified by Tzeentch. Mental Cleansing burned through their bodies as well as Indoctrination. Azul forced them to rip the control devices off. Not caring what happened to them really. They survived, and made it possible for their Users to break free as well.

The argument between them Azul ended when he broke one of the Users arms and told them to leave. They caused enough problems when they failed to protect themselves. They should be happy he didn't kill them or take their companions for himself. The Chaos Gods would have loved to have all of them.

They left upset but grateful to be free from the Control Devices. The broken arm User stating he hadn't heard the last of Azul. Which was true enough, since one of the Man's Companions had a Rune from Suikoden on him. Azul focused the Indoctrination spell at that location to keep it hidden.

Catching up with the others was not easy. They were captured by the Guado. Inferna and Ariel hid away inside Lulu and Riku.

The Guado ripped apart Beville. The people resist but could not win in the end. Stealing its technologies that Riku developed to help heal the people. Riku sent Auron, and a few others to go and help the Ronso when Sapphire told them of things getting worse. Her sisters did what they could, but they had to keep an eye on the Ronso people who started to show weird signs of control.

The Ronso ancestral homeland was decimated by the time Auron arrived. But minimal life lost. Only those that did listen to the Thessia sisters' warning that returned before it was checked out and lost their lives. Auron's group ran into trouble by the name of Belgemine. A weird Summoner that didnt really want to fight them but did anyway.

Auron killed her and sealed her summons for wasting their time. The control noduled dissolved the moment they tried to contain it. they were picked up by the Guado after falling into an ambush.

Azul killed a lot of people while heading to them. Took in a lot of Sin Spawn and Aeons. They were all locked away. The him sent to the future caught up with him. They fused and shared information quickly enough. As for the Aeons..

..He couldn't use them. So.. bullocks to that. The Administration lock from before kept him from using their power. Lluvia went to take care of that. Traitors were always able to do a lot of damage. Whether it was forced on them, or by them siding completely.

A problem arrived of eight lights. That do not exist until. Final Fantasy X-2.5. Something that did not belong in this games time period. But hey a lot of shit didn't currently belong. They were not on the Traitor Users side, which was fine, but they stalled Azul a little, which was bad.

Kush, goddess of food and shelter; Velm, god of safety; Slone, god of quenching regret; Arb, god of knowledge; Luchel; god of war, Kanaela; goddess of protection from darkness; Meiyou, goddess of light; and Guarudo, god of rest.

Azul absorbed all of them and locked them in a section of his Nether World. Letting Zelda and Hilda along with the other Gods talk to them. He did not have the patience after they started blabbing about purpose. They were worst than Yu Yevon. Which was funny since they were the religion before Yevon's took over. But after his death and whatnot.

.

-Back in the cell-

.

"I say we just kill them all and be done with it." Lulu said. She was not liking this plan at all. Inferna's anger was feeding into her. Trapped in a blasted cage, while the rest were somewhere else fighting. 'Hope Speedy is ok.'

Speedy went to set a magic array up before they were captured. Only reason they were captured was because of Wakka and Chappu. The bastards told them where they were during the meet up in Bevelle. Now they were in a Guadosalam prison.

"I finished!" Speedy said. He appeared in the cell A device in his hand. "The boss is here!" The device lit up and made a magical seal on the ground. Azul appeared from out of it. "Later, I am going to sleep. I am tired." He disappeared into motes of light.

"Yeah time to go." AzuI looked to Lulu and Riku. "You two will go and save Yuna and the others from whatever bullshit they are most likely dealing with." They nodded. "I will go and deal with taking down the Guado delegates so crap like this won't happen again."

"Ohhh sounds fun," Lulu said excited. "Sounds better than what I will be doing." Inferna left from her entering back into Azul's hand. "Oh, so much better. She is quite a handful." Despite her words, she looked a little disappointed it was over. She enjoyed the fire Aeon company. 'Maybe I will take that deal she offered me. But then, I will have to have a long talk with someone named Lettie.'

"Do not kill all of them. Remember, that is not what we are about here." Riku added stepping forward. She gave Azul a once over. "Right?"

"Yeah, the others dont have the discipline for what I am going to do. I will not kill a single one.. ok maybe a few. Accidents happened." Going to the cell door Azul bashed it open now that it was substantially weakened from Speedy disabling several glyps all over. Just physical strength no magic.

'You really like you want to kill the Guado.' Inferna was not to happy with sparing them.

'Oh yeah. Damn near wanting to genocide again. Gonna be difficult to stop em with out killing. But we have prepared.' Feeling a little peckish, Azul had a quick meal.

He bit the bars and ate them. He was still a Primarch, this shit is nothing really. Especially with the D.G. cells able to break it down even further. Just enough to get things going from not sleeping several days in a row. A really bad idea. Hoking up some acid from the belcher's gland, he watched as the bars started to melt.

'You did say not to do like last time.' Anima reminded. 'But some times, one has to break their word. The Guado are disgusting.'

'Yup. I gave my word. I also dont like how they operate so no hang-ups from me.' It didnt take them long to restrain several of the personnel in the prison area. Freed a few summoners while they were at it. 'Not to bad, they can keep their Aeons.'

A few of the Aeons whispered to Azul what happened. They were very fond of their Summoners. Wanting to stay with them despite the call Azul naturally released.

A few of them were happy to help opposed to the ones who were to injured mentally to move on. Azul gave them a few devices to planted. A few magical bombs to make sure every part of the structure was under effect.

They met up with a few of the others after a while. The place was slightly different than last time. Larger and more guarded.

"There is somewhere we should go to while here." Auron said as he moved to the left. Down a stairway, he went. They followed behind after him. Down below were a bunch of disposed of Machina. As well as Al Bhed tied up. Weird tubing in their bodies. "Do you know what this?"

"Yeah.. it shouldn't be here. It's Collector technology... and Necron Technology... as well as Umbrella and Tau." AzuI walked over and made sure none of it worked. It took only a bit to find out there were no active parts. "They all have to be wiped out.." Azul tried to take control of it but couldn't. 'What a powerful combination. More than a match for my D.G. cells and forms of Indoctrination. Almost like a complete counter agent to it.' Observe Kicked in.

Observe: Forbidden Tech ????

Status: Collector, Necron, Umbrella, Tau, Imperium, Dark Eldar, ???, ....

Dark Gundam: If Valiant and Bass were here, we would be able to take control of it maybe. But they are helping elsewhere that is important. We need to, upgrade more. Imperial, Eldar, Alliance, Cerebus, Leviathon/Reaper, Magic The Gathering, Taisen, Zanarkand, Shadow Realm, is not enough. This is several degrees higher. Much older as well.

'I can't tell the others. This is a way higher control than I have. But, only once people give in and are low enough level. A strong will can resist. Which.. makes sense.' Azul grimaced a little. 'No, they have a big network than I. At least my places are still standing. And the few Users I know are doing well.'

Zelda: Only the city is infected. All other traces have been contained and removed. However, the turned forces here cannot be saved. Wipe everything out or.. take it for yourself. Maybe in time we can do something with it. I think the Nether World might be able to contain it.

"Fwish!" Azul burned is with Asuryan flames and Mental Cleansing. He couldn't risk containing or control it abd failing. Know way would he start taking stupid chances like that. To many Horror movies and games should what happened to the person that tried those options.

System: Paragon awarded. Moving away from the Path of the Dark User ???? Pather power increased towards purification. Biotic powers increased.

Ripples of power circled the room. Feeling the Light Side, several of them blinked at Azul. Lulu found it pleasant. Yuna looked at Azul like he was a puppy to hug. He looked fluffy and soft. They were the only two that stood back with him as the others searched for Guado Seymour.

20 minutes later they came across Guado Seymour. The thing was, he was already fighting the others. Why oh why did they choose to fight him by themselves, AzuI would never know. He was way stronger than what he was last time. A control nodule in his chest and a Gauss Rifle on his arm.

Wakka and Chapu fighting on his side. Both with nodules sticking out of their chest and back.

"They took all the fun." Lulu purred behind Azul.

'I like her. I knew she wanted to carve him up herself.' Inferna said inside Azul. 'Let me giver her a little something to help.' She started casting a spell at her. It wrapped around giving Lulu a burning Halo. She had something in her hand as well. 'I am going to sleep. To much in the last few weeks.'

As Lulu focused her magic, Yuna joined her to take down Chappu. Riku moved around to make room for the others. They had taken a bit of a beating. Wind gathered around her hand as she fired at Wakka.

"Magic Missile Wind!" Riku fired a powerful blast of wind right through his nodule. A straight-through and through. Blasting it out of his body and dissolving the remaining pieces. She wasn't done however. "Explosive Wave!" Riku released her ki in a concentrated area. Smashing Wakka into a wall.

"Ahhhhhh!" Wakka, implanted into the wall, screamed before fainting. Tidus and Kimihari helping to heal his injuries.

Chappu was not fairing any better against, Lulu and Yuna. They gave their magic to Auron who charged up with a slash. Cutting into Chappu with a Mental Break and Power Break. He targeted the Nodule cutting deep into his flesh. A light shined as his flesh remained the same.

"Thump!" He dropped dazed but still aware of things. The others went to hold him down as Azul went after Guado Seymour. A Concussive Shot powered only by Mental Cleansing. A little soul magic to find out about something. He sent the Dark Andromeda chains out as well.

"Aghh!" Seymour cried out. He turned to look at the chains burrowing in his body. AzuI was just finishing his chant to steal the other Anima away. "You will pay for that!"

He raised the Gauss Rifle up to fire. But no dice. The chains bind it down on the slick. Pulling his arm down into the ground. The Gauss blasted into the ground blowing some debris around.

"Snatch and Bind." Anima left from Azul to make the process easier on the other. Her chains dug in fishing out the other. The magical chains wrapped around the Aeon as she was pulled away from his side. She resisted for a while. Due to the influence of the nodule. "Mental Cleansing." He hit her with a good bit of it. Blocking her from the nodule. That broke the connection long enough to end it.

System: New Aeon acquired Anima. Fusing with Anima. Fusion successful.

Anima returned tired but happy as can be. Setting back into the True Dark Rune. Sleeping. She muttered one thing for Azul to do. And that was to put an end to this Seymour.

"Give her back!" Seymour yelled. Azul yanked his head back after piercing his back and chest with a Flame Fist. "Kuuukk.. you.." Azul gaze locked onto his. He pulled him into a meld.

"Embrace Life.." Azul ran through his soul trying find any of the information on what was planned. Guado Seymour was shown the life his human counterpart lived with Anima and Azul. 'Tch, not enough time.'

"Mother.. was happy..." Seymour's body burned away. His soul was pulled into Azul's Millennium Eye. Obelisk wished to pass judgment on him. "I.." The Gauss rifle remained for just a moment before vanishing.

"You just.." Wakka mumbled coming to. He received a punch across the face and passed out.

"Just killed High Summoner Seymour." Chappu said depressed. "No way you get away with this peacefully."

The world spun for a second again. AzuI resited whatever it was but felt a little ill from it. His Pather power pulled in memories of the person who did it. Indigo was not completely safe from him when he was ready for him.

"What the hell is a Cloud Knight?" AzuI mumbled. Getting rid of that feeling, he seperated a piece of his mind to analyze everything. "Time to get out of here. The Guado will not cause us trouble. That I am sure of."

The group looked confused. Riku gave Azul a glare but left it alone. Tidus just looked on weirdly.

.

Outside the Guado Territory-

.

A few hours later they had cleaned everything up and were on there way before stopping at the outskirts. Speedy running in the distance having checked things over. He really was the fastest mouse in all of Spira.

"Time to go idiot's." AzuI yelled at those standing back waiting. The freed Summoners and their Guardians looked confused on why they couldn't rest more. "You ready for the end of them once and for all?"

The disorientation came back again. Indigo attacked Azul's soul once again. He let it happen and the part of him went into the future again. But not before Azul sent a blast of his Pather power at him.

Sapphire and the her sisters arrived. Injured with a bunch of Ronso. Unlike her sisters, she was the Prime version of herself. She really like the place apparently.

"Do it!" Sapphire said crying. She had her head down in shame. "I want them to pay!" Her biotic strands entered Azul. "They tortured so many.. we couldn't save them all."

"Azul...." Riku spoke tentaively. "You said you wouldn't.."

Looking out, AzuI activated his seals releasing the magic. "Original Spell.. Judgment of the Fallen... Cleansing."

"Bwoom!" An arch of light appeared from the sky. It hit dead center of the place. AzuI watched as the buildings started disappearing in the light. Then another blast and so on and so forth hitting several corners. It burned away at the place with Holy/Psychic magic. A symbol close to the Millenium eye appeared for a moment.

Obelisk the Tormentor standing in the light as it spread. all across Spira, people could see as it went into the clouds. Slowly the whole place was engulfed. A few of the missed soldiers tried to escape but the barrier prevented it at the edges. The entire of Guadosalam was burning. Compliments of magic AzuI learned from Slannesh and Obelisk.

"This.. Azul you have to stop." Tidus said coming over to him. "This is not right."

"Yuna dont look!" Auron said. She ignored and kept looking out with a smile. "What has happened to .. you?"

"No, I dont. They wish to defeat Sin. I am helping them along with it. Duh. As well as getting payback for their hand in disgracing Zanarkand and several others. They also killed a lot of Ronso and Al bhed. And those little amphibian people.

"They did it under Guado Seymour's control. They can't be blamed for that." Wakka said. He looked away from Azul after saying it. 'I.. also helped. Providing intel.. I ..' Looking at Yuna and Lulu smiling, he felt sick. "This is not something to be happy about!"

"Wakka.. shut up." Azul said coldly. He turned and looked at him with a renewed anger. "You wanted people to help defeat "Sin" anyway. They will help greatly."

Dona looked at him with a missing arm. She lost it fighting against the Guado till she suffered from exhaustion. "You did nothing to help us! I bet you would have helped kill the other Guardians that stood against the Guado if you could!"

"You are just another dumb Yevonite! No wonder Sin has continued to kill with idiots like you around." Barthello, her Guardian said. "Several of our people are gone because of them!"

"Azul... killing them won't solve anyth.." Riku started to say softly but stopped when AzuI gave her a look. "You broke your word.. I hate you!"

"Ok." Azul reached his hands out as the spell ended. The light vanished as it came to him. It turned into a small Sphere that he placed in his pocket. "I will give this to someone else." Everything from the outside, very trace was removed from the place. "The.. innocent are the only ones moving about. The guilty were punished severely. And nightmares will plague them for years. They will be unable to end their own lives as they suffer."

It took a bit for them to let it sink in. They looked at Azul who was already taking care of the injured with his magic. The Guado were all indoctrinated, but he was not gonna tell them that. Only one who knew was Hilda. And it was going to stay that way.

"My arm.." Dona looked on in shock as it restored. Several other people the same way. Limbs regenerating from Azul's magic at work. And a little.. D.G. cells at work to help until they were not needed.

"You have that power..." Auron said. He walked over to Azul and gave a hard stare. "Are you saying you can judge souls fairly?"

"Yes. Why?" AzuI looked at him weirdly. 'What in the world could he be thinking? Granted it is Obelisk doing the judging and I give the punishment.'

"Nothing for now." Auron nodded and looked away. "What you took in just now.. it will be used to defeat Sin yes?"

"Yup," Lulu answered for Azul. "It was what we planned to do in the future when Wakka and Chappu acted weirded earlier."

"Why not just say so?" Riku ask Azul.

"I told you I wouldn't already. And you had enough on your plate with adding any more to it." Azul yawned as he felt a little tired from healing all the people. "I am still the one in utmost charge afterall. My job is to intervene and act when my people can not. Despite if they will hate me or not. I am the Leader after all. I am going to take a nap."
