Chapter 3: Final battle
This chapter has some major spoilers, so if you haven’t beat the game, you shouldn’t read. Your not missing any Yaoi, so don’t worry about it.

“We’ll take the legs, you focus on the tail!” The words of Le Blanc calling down from a platform above in front of the machine‘s legs along with Uno and Sano. Gippal and Nooj took the torso, and it seemed everyone was holding their own. That left Paine, Yuna and Rikku to the tail, no problem.
Yuna lifted the silver guns with out stretched arms, aiming at the tip of the black tail laying on the floating island. She pulled the trigger rapidly, firing a spray of bullets at the Machine’s ligament. The dormant tail drew back, sweeping across the ground and slamming into the three, sending them sliding backwards from impact. “You guys alright?” Yuna asked, regaining herself.
“Fine.” Paine responded in her usual tone.
Rikku knelt down and picked up her twin knives that had been knocked out of her hands. “I’m ok.”
Paine switched dress spheres, coming out of her warrior attire and in to the one of the dark knight, lifting up her Auron inherited dark blade. With a loud grunt she jumped into the air, coming down with her sword thrust down in front of him. On contacted with the ground it sent a shockwave of dark power across the ground and over Veganagun's up lifted tail. It countered with a ray from the very tip of the tail. First blasting Yuna directly in the chest with a scorching and electrifying pain, then sweeping over the other two.
Shaking her head to stop the ringing in her head, Rikku charged at the giant Machine, slashing it with one blade, then delivering a powerful uppercut with the other. It tried to take advantage of her close proximity, slamming down toward the ground in an attempt to smash her. But Yuna stopped it in it’s tracks, hitting it with a hail of gun fire that knocked it back. Paine followed with an attack, lifting it above her head and bringing it down with a hard slash, cutting open the steel skin. “There! An opening! Rikku go!” Paine pointed out the open metal she had created.
“Alright!”
Rikku rushed the short distance at the tail for a second attack, but was halted by a sudden rush of energy that sent her tumbling backwards across the ground. The tail fired it’s ray, sweeping it across Paine and Yuna next though not with as much effect. “Aw! That hurt.” Rikku rubbed her head and sat up.
Yuna rushed over to help her to her feet then pull her back to a safer distance “Are you alright Rikku?”
“I could be better.” Rikku dropped her knives to the ground, jumping in to the air with a board flip, and with a bright light she changed outfit from the thin thief wear to the heavily armored amethyst. With all that armor she landed a little bit more heavily then she would have before.
“Alright, let’s go to work.” Rikku smirked devilishly with an anxiousness to fight, aiming the large dual handled blast gun at Veganagun's tail. “Boom!” With that exclamation she fired a large, energy covered round in to the open wound, making the tail drop lifelessly to the ground and combust, throwing flames and metal scraps everywhere.
“We should see about the others.” Yuna let out a relieved sigh, watching over the burning tail.
“Yeah, I wonder how there doing.” Rikku looked wonderingly up in their direction, unable to see anything since her vision didn‘t extend through solid rock. Their only way up was a long assent up a mountain of floating islands. The three glanced at each other, then tackled the course in front of them. Yuna lead the way, jumping up the first one, and continuing through the spiral stairway of platforms.
Le Blanc growled in frustration “Come on! Get in gear!” she shouted at Uno and Sano, both were tired and weak, the didn’t stand a chance.
“I ….can’t” Uno almost collapsed, trying to get the words out in-between pants.
“Heyyy!!!” Rikku was the first to reach their level, coming out of the chain of smaller rocks. “ You guys alright?”
“No.” Sano stared a the black leg embedded with green, red, and blue orbs.
Yuna shook her head with another sigh “We’ll... take over from here.” She volunteered, it didn‘t take long for them to accept the offer.
Le Blanc looked back at the enemy they had been facing, then thought carefully about her suggestion...for about 4 seconds “Well aright, I’m going up to be with my Noojie-woojie. Take care.” Le Blanc nodded and walked hastily toward the spiral of platforms, leaving Uno and Sano behind, the two quickly ran to catch up.
“*Sigh* They never stood a chance.” Rikku moaned with a shake of her head, holding up her blast gun.
The first thing you had to admit about Veganagun ,it was fighting three (two now that he tail was gone) Different battles at the same time. Even though it seemed unstoppable, as Yuna, Nooj, and everyone else agreed on. Machines were built by man, and every machine had it’s flaw because men themselves had flaws. It wasn’t that good at taking on so many different fights at one time. So even though it was strong, it was built to take out one enemy, Sin, and it didn’t have the programming to fight with different body parts on different enemies. To make things worse all of it’s weapon systems were active ,and it made mistakes, a lot of them, sometimes fatal ones.
“Ready?” Yuna shouted.
“Ready!” Rikku and Paine called back, looking up to the mammoth enemy. Yuna wasted no time, dropping her weapons and changing in to the Gun mage Dressphere with a display of bright lights. “Let’s see how tough you are...” Using her scan ability she found that it was easier just to take out the leg than to fight the spheres first, once the leg was gone, it would take the spheres with it. “Alright Gullwings! Go for the leg, forget about the other parts.”
A bolt of lighting streaked down from the sky in a flash and struck Rikku, knocking her to the ground. “I don’t think that will be easy!” She said, dusting herself off.
“I got you coved.” Paine told her, changing from dark knight to white mange. Holding the staff erect between outstretched arms she cast Reflect on everyone.
“Thank you.” Rikku gave a small, grateful wave, changing from the Amethyst to the Thief Dressphere.
Rikku dived forward, stabbing the red knives into the broad ankle of the large enemy, using her pilfer Hp ability to drain some heath from it before strifing backwards. Yuna followed up with her blue bullet ability using Mega Tonberry’s Cry in the night. Hitting every enemy with an explosion of opaque dark magic.
Paine changed from white mage back to dark knight with her task done, lifting the large dark metal blade over her head, charging forward and bring it down hard on Veganagun's leg.
The spheres countered with a round of magic 3 attacks (one for each of them.) each, first casting Thundaga on all three of them and electrocuting them, then Firaga, scorching them with flames, then Wateraga, a rather creative spell that attacked them with water pressure. One by one all 9 of the attacks were reflected back to on to the spheres and the leg with double strength. And Rikku had to admit that it was pretty fun to watch. “See ya!” Rikku smiled teasingly as she charged forward, clinching the knives in her hands, she stood just short of it and slashed across the skin with one hand, delivering a jumping uppercut for the final blow.
After a small pause to make sure, Paine walked confidently over to the deactivating leg “That was easy.”
Moving on to the next part of the of spiraling path, They spotted Uno and Sano resting on a platform leading up to the body and where Le blanc had gone ahead. They hurried to reach them.
Uno seemed relieved when he saw them, “Take care of boss for me.” Uno said, rubbing his injured arm.
Yuna wondered for a moment what Le Blanc was thinking? “Yeah, we‘ll do that.”
“I don’t know about her some times.” Sano sighed, rubbing his head in an attempt to ease a thoroughly pounding headache.
! - ! - !
The spiral path leaded them up to the next large island. Gippal along with Nooj and Le Blanc stood against the machine, they could see Baralai from this distance, still under the control of Shuyin, manipulating Veganagun.
Seeing that they were to injured to continue fighting, Yuna, Rikku, and Paine took over this fight also.
The body stood along with the head, tusks and 2 pairs of arms. Gippal and Nooj had taken took all of them on at once, and managed to weaken it a lot, but in the end it ended up being to much for two already weakened people. Yuna, Rikku and Paine, on Nooj’s advice, decided to take of the body and arms first, them moved to the head.
“Don’t worry about the arms, the core is your target!” Nooj called out to them from a feet away near the edge of the platform, He and Gippal had made that mistake, if they wanted to stand a chance they couldn‘t.
“Alright girls, you heard him!” Particularly high in moral, Yuna encouraged her two team mates.” Go for the core.” Yuna repeated, changing back to the Gunner Dressphere. With out hesitation she pumped the triggers, sending a barrage of gunfire at the glowing core under Veganagun's neck.
Rikku changed in to the dark knight armor, with a plain in mind she jumping in the air and forcing her sword to the ground with a darkness attack. A wave of dark energy swept over both arms and the core.
“We can take care of this, just keep attacking!” Yuna shouted, she didn’t see the core’s glow grow brighter. That was until it shot out a enormous blue ray that engulfed all three of them at once, it even hit Nooj and Gippal who were farther off, it felt like they ran in to a brick wall going 100 miles an hours.
Still unwavering and in evident pain, they continued to attack relentlessly, Yuna kept firing with trigger happy, using her guns in combination with Rikku’s and Paine’s Dark Knight swords using the powerful Darkness attack. With there next round they cracked the hard casing covering the core. “We’re almost there, don’t give up!” Yuna paused from her attacking to retrieve a out a mega potion and used it on the group. But they were blind sided by another ray that swept them off their feet right afterwords.
They continued to fight, regaining themselves despite growing injuries. “Ready?” Yuna asked, aiming her weapons.
“Yeah.” Rikku lifted her sword, running towards the core of Veganagun “Let’s do it.” After her, Paine followed with her sword low at her side, almost dragging it across the ground. Yuna covered them with more rapid firing just as Rikku and Paine attacked, both of them thrust their swords forward and smashing through the casing sounding the core.
Rikku stumbled backwards quickly “Yuna! Now!”
Yuna took her que, pulling the pin on the grenade shaped cluster bomb and throwing it with all the aim being a gunner brought. Just as she hoped it sailed into the open core followed by a shattering explosion and a rush of outward flames. “Yes!”
...
Even though it might have seemed that way, that wasn’t the end of the battle. Veganagun started to move again. Swiftly Dropping down a level so that they were standing face to face with the head by Shuyin’s command. Now that Shuyin, well Baralai, was in eye sight level, they could tell something was off.
“He’s panicking, you’ve almost won!“ Nooj yelled to the girls being the first to notice what it really was, Shuyin was panicking, you can see it in his eyes, everything was so close to the edge, and he didn’t know how to stop it from going over.
The head was no problem, they could finished this right here and now and be done with this mess. “Alright, this is it, let’s do it!” Yuna tried her best to cheer everyone on, to encourage them a little but they were tired and hurt, moral was in short supply.
Rikku had to resist the urge to fall to the ground and pass out. “I need a nap.” She complained.
“Maybe later.” Paine lifted her sword again, also just as ready for this to be over with as Rikku.
“This should help.” Yuna used her last mega-elixir on the group, not that she had many to start with. It helped a lot, or as well as to be expected.
With renewed strength though not renewed stamina, Rikku jumped in to the air with the large sword drawn up, using Darkness, one sweep was enough to clear off the Tusks, making less of a problem to deal with. Yuna also changed, this time in to the white mage and cast reflect on everyone. Veganagun cast Mighty Guard on it’s self, making it quicker and with better defense, a typical starting round.
Paine changed Dressphere in to the Berserker, using her Crackdown ability, she charged at Veganagun giving a powerful uppercut with long claws that broke through the machines defenses.
Rikku used darkness again, sending another wave of dark energy at Veganagun. Taking the attack in stride the machine countered with a meteor spell, sending sudden a rain of burning meteor rocks on them. Just barley surviving, Yuna changed back to the gun mage, using a mega potion on the group in an attempt to help reverse that meteor spell. Rikku continued using Darkness, sending another black wave across Veganagun.
Next, Paine cast Berserk on her self, enveloping her body in an uprising of red energy. She lost her self, but in turn gained strength and speed, causing her to charge blindly at the machine and slash it across the metal face.
! - ! - !
Eventually their attacks were enough to bring down Veganagun.
With nothing but failure, Shuyin released Baralai having no more use for him. Changing in to the singer Dressphere, Yuna tried her plan to tell him Lenne’s feelings, and it almost worked, almost. Shuyin seemed to be in some kind of daze and saw Lenne instead of Yuna, not that it wasn’t an easy mistake to make but he saw through it. Needless to say he was angry, all of his feelings burst in to rage.
This was it, the final battle against Shuyin.
“Shuyin! Stop!” Yuna pleaded with him, but he refused, charging enraged at Yuna and slashing her with his hooked sword. He continued, pushing past her roughly enough to knock her to the ground and slashing Rikku in his way to Paine, then pivoting agilely and slashing her again when he drew back to hit Rikku, Finally he hit Yuna again on his final pass before he jumped back to avoid attack.
It seemed that all of his moves were the same as Tidus’s overdrives.
Rikku countered with an attack from her own sword, lifting the large dark blade above her head and slamming it down on Shying while Yuna started firing at him rapidly. After taking a few bullets he was able to get on to his feet and lift his sword in defense to easily block the rest of her attack that ceased when her clip ran out.
“You will Pay!!!” He yelled a blind furry, going specifically for Yuna. He slid to a stop just short of her, causing her to flinch in surprise as he jumped in to a back flip that delivered a powerful kick to her stomach. She was sent her flying in to the air by his strength. Shuyin jumped after her, clinching his sword with a ready attack when suddenly he was knocked painfully out of the air.
Even though his body was weak and near clasping, Baralai had used a drill shot with his own gun, and thankfully his aim was on point. “Yuna! Now!!”
Watching Shuyin fall to the ground, Yuna took her chance and started firing while he couldn‘t avoid, striking with a barrage of bullets in a few well placed areas was enough to slow him down.
In the end, Yuna’s plan worked, Lenne’s sprit had arisen from her Dressphere and calmed Shuyin enough for him to give up and pass on through to the Farplane after a thousand years.
But the Farplane wasn’t where he ended up, he found himself alone in the darkness... and with out Lenne...
