"Watch out, Nabiki," Rikku shouted. Nabiki jumped away, when the wasp-like fiend swooped down at the place where she was standing seconds ago.
"Take this," she yelled and shot it with her gun. At this close range, the attack instantly destroyed the fiend.
Rikku was limping towards her friend. "Throw me another Antidote, will ya?"
Nabiki searched around her personal stash and pulled out a green flask, which she handed Rikku. "Here ya go!"
"Thanks!" Rikku gulped down the Antidote, and the poison effect of the fiend's stinger was cured instantly. "Really handy to not having to think about buying the right medicine all the time," she said.
"Let's go back to the Extractor," Nabiki suggested. "We still have a lot work to do before it works."
Rikku frowned. "It's not my fault the arm fell off, you know?" she muttered. "Shinra should have used more robust nuts'n bolts. That one was totally rusty."
"We already missed two summoners that were crossing the moonflow," Nabiki explained. "We HAVE to repair that thing if we are to continue your father's plan."
"Picky, picky," Rikku quarreled while they were walking through the trees. "Forgive me for forgetting the screws at Home. But, we really were lucky to stumble upon some fiends that were carrying machina parts. You could have helped me retrieve them, though..."
Nabiki smirked. "Well, you're the resident thief. I helped you by shooting and providing medicine. It's your job to steal from the fiends."
"Hey," Rikku angrily yelled. "I'm no thief. I prefer to call myself a TREASURE HUNTER."
They reached the place where the Extractor lay hidden, the spherical submarine Cid invented. With its help, they were planning to kidnap every summoner that was crossing the moonflow... a river that flowed between Guadosalam and the Temple of Djose.
On the top of the Extractor, there was a small force field generator. It produces a barrier in which a single person can be imprisoned for a short time - that's where they normally put an abducted summoner. The submarine also had several tentacle-like arms, four propellers on its underside, and two shooting weapons: The Aqua Shooter and the Depth Charges - which is used to drop several water mines on the enemy. But Rikku really didn't think that it would be necessary to use either of them... Mostly, they managed to grab one of the summoners, and then get away before their guardians realize what happened.
After all, which guardian was trained to fight under water?

Tidus and Wakka sneezed, as their pilgrimage group was travelling along the Djose Highroad.
"Bless you," Kasumi said smiling.
"Thank you," Wakka replied while pulling out a tissue.
