Chapter Eighteen: Savior and Sacrifice
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~

He
tiptoed silently through the echoing halls of Bevelle�s underground. He�d
heard from guards upstairs that all POW prisoners were kept under Bevelle and that
was where he was headed. Shuyin was unarmed which was a risk he�d decided
to take. He didn�t want to antagonize the enemy and run the risk of
having Lenne harmed.

Taking
a quick turn into a room on the far end of the narrow hall he was in, Shuyin
found himself exactly where he needed to be. The room held several
cage-like prisons and inside the far one was his beloved Lenne. She was
curled on the floor of the cage asleep and Shuyin reached out tenderly to wake
her up. She was startled and jumped away from his touch but upon seeing
it was him her face formed a smile, �Shuyin, what are you doing here?� she
asked.

�I
couldn�t bear the thought of you in here.� He replied as he dug into his pocket
and pulled out a pin and began to pick the lock, �I�m here to save you.�

Lenne
kissed him through the bars and quietly urged him to move quicker, �The guards
are going to be doing their rounds any minute now.� She whispered. The
lock snapped open quickly and Shuyin helped Lenne from her cage. The duo
snuck back into the hallway and around a corner before making a dash toward the
elevator that led back to the Bevelle Temple.

It
was a breath of fresh air Lenne never thought she�d have again as she and
Shuyin dashed out of the temple and made a run for Macalania forest and their
long walk home. She was so grateful for Shuyin�s help in rescuing her but
at the same time she wanted to berate him for risking his life for her like
that. She decided to say nothing and instead followed him as they began
the long walk back home.

---------------

It
was about 20 minutes later when the guards first noticed that Lenne was
missing. Nobody wanted to say anything to anybody for fear of what
Benedict Cyton would do to them. It was a losing battle, though, because
in less than 10 minutes Benedict was there to check on Lenne himself.

�Where
is the summoner?� he boomed at the guards under his watch. He ripped the
surveillance sphere from the hand of the guard that offered it to him and
watched with a sour look on his face as Shuyin Bacohl snuck in and stole Lenne
Fetmar right out from under everyone�s noses. With an angry swing,
Benedict dismissed his officers and shouted curses after their retreating
backsides. He shoved the sphere into his pocket and returned to his
office with a somber look. His meeting with Allyn wasn�t going to go
well. It wasn�t that he was afraid of her. Benedict wasn�t afraid
of anyone. It was the simple fact that Allyn kept offering him things and
then taking them away just as quickly. She was grating on his nerves with
her promise of giving her body to him and yet always coming up with a reason to
change her mind. He�d done everything in his power to make her forget
Shuyin for years and only recently had decided that the only way to get her was
to help her gain the blonde blitzer.

Sitting
down behind his desk, Benedict looked at his watch. Allyn was always on
time so he could expect her in 5�4�3�2�1�

The
door swung open and slammed shut behind the form of Allyn Ackmard. Allyn
walked toward Benedict with a grin on her face, �I heard we took a POW last
night��

�That�s
true, Miss. Ackmard.�

Allyn
grinned and sat down on the edge of Benedict�s desk, �So she�s safetly stored
downstairs?�

Benedict
pulled the sphere from his pocket and handed it to her, �You might want to take
a look at this,� he said to her, �Things didn�t go exactly as planned.�

Allyn
played the sphere and her face took on a sour and angry look. The woman
stared at the screen the small sphere formed and when the video finished she
looked at Benedict with fire flashing in her eyes, �What are you, some kind of
an idiot?!� she shrieked, �I give you and your men one simple task and
you screw it up! How difficult is it to make sure she stays as a
POW?!�

�Allyn,
I don�t have to explain myself to you. You aren�t my boss. I did
you a favor.�

�Yeah!�
Allyn shouted, �And you fucked it up! You�re a total moron. I�m
going to have Daddy relieve you of your position!�

Benedict
grabbed her arm and pulled her roughly toward him, �Oh no you won�t or else
I�ll call up Shuyin and tell him what you�ve been doing.� He hissed softly in
her ear, �You�re on dangerous ground, Allyn. Tread carefully.�

-----------------

Yu
Yevon looked out of his office window toward the destruction that once was
Nagi. His eyes wandered toward the pile of rubble that once was the
blitzball stadium and then he cursed to himself. The war needed to end
and of that he was sure.

But
did he want to use�Sin?

He
looked over his shoulder at the summoning book that was laying open on his desk
and then looked back out toward the destruction that lay just below his window
and silently made up his mind.

Walking
back to his desk, he lifted the large book in his hands and felt them tremble
under the weight. He had to do this. This was his only choice.

--------------

�I�m
going back to the frontlines tomorrow, Shu.� Lenne announced, �and you can�t
stop me!�

�I�ll
just end up going after you again!�

Shuyin
and Lenne had been arguing from the moment they stepped back into his
house. She was determined to see her duty through and no amount of
coercion from Shuyin was going to change her mind. Shuyin was desperate
to convince her otherwise but so far it wasn�t working.

Lenne
let out an exasperated groan and turned her back to him, �You just don�t
understand.�

�You�re
right,� he agreed, �I don�t understand! I don�t understand why you�ll put
your life at risk again!�

Lenne
didn�t know how she�d make him understand that it was her job to defend her
country. It was her job to give her life if necessary to defend
Zanarkand�s people. She sighed and began walking back toward the bedroom
to throw some more clothes into a knapsack. She could hear his footsteps
behind her and she said, �I�m leaving in the morning. Nothing you can say
or do is going to stop me.� She paused and reached into a nearby drawer,
grabbing a golden necklace. She handed it to him, �I bought this for you
a few weeks ago. It�s the Zanarkand Abes symbol but it�s also a
locket. I put a picture of us inside. That way you�ll have me with
you even when I�m far away.�

Shuyin
fingered the small picture inside. Lenne sitting with a smile on her face
while his arm was over her shoulder protectively. Shuyin didn�t want
those times to end, �Lenne�I could activate the Machina that Bevelle has and��

�Stop
it!� she shrieked suddenly as she spun around and put an angry hand over his
mouth to silence him, �I don�t want to hear it anymore, Shuyin! I
understand that you don�t want me to go, but the fact is I am
going! Get used to it!� She slammed the door in his face and he heard the
lock click in place. She didn�t want to deal with him and had locked him
out of his own bedroom.

Shuyin
was furious and went back into the living room and sat on the carpet.
There had to be a way to stop this war and save Lenne. He let himself
fall backward onto the sofa and, in spite of how hard he tried, Shuyin�s eyes
became heavy and he fell asleep in the fetal position upon his carpet.
The rug dug into his cheek making indentations but Shuyin didn�t notice.
His dreams were dark. They weren�t the vibrant colors that his dreams
usually were. They were in black and white and they were sad and
scary. In his dreams he saw the colossus.

�Vegnagun. It�s has enough firepower to wipe Zanarkand off
of the planet. I think that�s the reason nobody wants to use it.
Vegnagun is infinitely hard to control. Daddy acts like it has a mind of
its own.�

Sitting
like a mountain in the Bevelle Underground, Vegnagun was capable of stopping
the war. If Shuyin could get to it. If Shuyin could control it�

�See that keyboard? You play the notes listed in the correct
order and Vegnagun springs to life. They made it so that only people with
piano skills could use it.�

Shuyin�s
eyes shot open. Vegnagun was the answer. He�d sneak into Bevelle
and use Vegnagun to stop the war. It was perfect. It was
foolproof. To hell with Yu�s secret plan, Vegnagun was going to help
him.

Shuyin
scrambled to his feet and dug in his drawer for his recording spheres.
He�d leave Lenne a short note on where he was going and why so that she
wouldn�t worry. Then he�d head back to Bevelle and end this madness once
and for all.

It
was perfect�.

-------------

�Shuyin?�
Lenne called a few hours later. After falling asleep and having a fitful
nap, the young summoner decided to apologize for her outburst. She had
been out of line to lock Shuyin out of his own bedroom. Her feet padded
along the carpeted hallway and out to the living room which was empty, save for
a sphere sitting on the table.

Lenne
pressed the play button and gasped as the blank screen formed the handsome
visage of Shuyin Bacohl.

�Lennie, I know you won�t understand why I�m doing this but I just
have to try. I�ve gone to Bevelle to activate Vegnagun and end this
war. Please don�t be angry with me. I want you to wait for me,
Lennie. I�ll write you letters if I get arrested. I�ll be back as
soon as I can. I love you��

�Damnit
Shuyin!� Lenne shouted as she dropped the sphere on the floor and ran for the
door. She had to stop Shuyin from making a huge mistake before something
terrible happened. Grabbing Shuyin�s keys, she turned on the ignition to
his car and peeled wheels.

The
drive to Bevelle was faster than Lenne had expected and she made it there
shortly before dawn and ducked into the temple without the guards noticing
her. She had heard talk of Vegnagun while she was held captive and knew
that it was stored in the deepest underbelly of Bevelle and that was precisely
where she was headed. Creeping along silent as a snake, Lenne ducked
behind a darkened corner when she heard a voice.

�You
know, you�re all I can count on to save Lenne.�

Shuyin!

Lenne
looked furtively around to make sure there were no guards before dashing into
the room. Shuyin was still a few yards away and she didn�t want to shout
as he climbed onto Vegnagun and began to play the notes to activate it.
She ran as quietly as possible toward him before stopping and shouting, �You
must stop! That�s enough!�

His
blue eyes fixed on her as he spun to the sound of her voice, �What are you
doing here?� he hissed as he angrily jumped down from the colossus an approached
her, �I told you to stay at home!�

�This
is crazy!� she cried, �Let�s just�.�

Footsteps
echoed behind her and Shuyin�s gasp caused her to spin around. A barrage
of Bevelle soldiers with machina guns were approaching them. Shuyin felt
panic take over and he grabbed her arm and began pulling her toward a side
exit. The soldiers followed suit.

Shuyin
and Lenne ran and ran, turning this way and that in a futile attempt to lose
the soldiers in their own base. Before they knew it, the couple was back where
they started. They were standing in front of Vegnagun�s eye � a piercing
blood red eye that almost foretold certain doom.

The
soldiers cocked their rifles and aimed them at the young couple. Lenne
looked at him with an unfortellable look in her eyes before she gave him a weak
smile. All Shuyin could think about what how he�d failed her. He�d
failed her�

The
sound of the guns firing seemed to come from far away. Her fingers
tightened around his arms and he increased his grip on her but it was all for
naught. As the bullets pierced their skin, the force broke them
apart. Shuyin felt himself flying and he flipped in midair to land on his
chest. His beautiful Lenne was laying on her back with her head twisted
to look toward him. He reached for her as the pain caused tears to form
in his eyes. His hand moved to touch her outstretched fingers but she
didn�t move to return his grasp. He could hear footsteps nearing them as
he tried more desperately to touch her delicate fingers, �I�love�you.� He
gasped.

The
last thing Shuyin remembered was a Bevelle boot slamming into his face and then
everything went black.
Author�s Notes: Okay everybody. I�m sure that you know what�s going to
happen in this chapter just by the title. Sin appears! This chapter�s
main focus is Yunalesca and Zaon. Also, the shows that Yunalesca flips
through are based off of shows that are on now (Jerry Springer, The Simpsons,
Will & Grace, & American Idol). I don�t own those shows.
