Ukyo seemed to have slowed down a little in her heavy armor, but her attack power surely had increased. Effortlessly, she cut her way through the hordes of fiends. Now and then, she would inflict them with poison or blindness. Shampoo, for her part, joined Nabiki in blasting fiends with her gun. When she faced an especially vicious Chimera, she charged up her gun and cried: "Blue Magic: Blaster!" and the deadly beam she learned from the Coeurls stopped the monster dead in its tracks.
Together with everyone else, they had a really easy time taking down the fiends in their way.
"Where is Yuna?" Tidus yelled while cutting down another Dingo.
"In the Summoner's Sanctum," Rikku shouted back while avoiding a horn thrust of a Dual Horn. "It's where the summoners are kept... they're safe there."
"You kidnapped them," Wakka sighed while taking out an Ahriman.
Rikku threw another grenade in the fiends' rows. "I know it's against the teachings and all..."
"I guess I get why you did it," Wakka grumbled, while blinding the Dual Horn, that kept attacking Rikku, with his ball.
"Where is this place, Rikku?" Ranma shouted while Griever was engaging another Chimera.
She pointed over to a door that lead to a stairway. "Over there... but there are too many fiends around."
"Got it," Ranma nodded. "Make place, everyone!"
Ukyo blasted some fiends with her Darkness ability. "Oh no, I think I know what he's going to do. Take cover, everyone!"
They all jumped aside when Ranma began running around in circles around a Bomb, the flying fireball looking at her in bewilderment.
'Soul of ice,' Ranma thought. 'Soul of ice, soul of ice...'
And finally, just before a Chimera was ready to use its Aqua Breath against her, she shouted: "HIRYU SHOTEN HA!!"
The whirlwind ripped around the room and blew away every fiend that was stupid enough to get too close. While Griever intensified the air currents and made sure that their friends wouldn't get caught.
When Ranma was finished, every fiend in the room was destroyed.
She pointed towards the open door. "Let's go," she smirked.
Tidus stared. "Can you teach me that move?"
----
The Alpha Fiend was running after the fleeing Al Bhed.
"Hahahaha!" he laughed. "Yes, flee, you silly humans! Flee or I'll rip you apart."
When suddenly, he entered a hallway in which he saw some VERY familiar faces.
"Hey!" Nabiki shouted. "That one over there looks just like Shampoo when she was possessed by that cat-fiend!"
"Um... glad you remember me," the Alpha Fiend replied, a little unsure of his position.
Shampoo grinned and stepped forward. "Now that Shampoo is free from you and your body... Shampoo is ready for some revenge!" She pulled out her gun. "Drill Shot!"
The Blue Bullet flew through the air towards its target.
'Uh-oh!' the fiend thought and jumped away just in time. 'Time for some retreating...' And it jumped back the way it came.
"Come back here, Shampoo not finished with you!" the Gun Mage Amazon shouted. But Ranma hold her back.
"Let him go for now! We have to find Yuna and Akane!"
"Grrr... when Shampoo see him again, make fur coat out of him."
----
They managed to get to the summoner's sanctum. Inside, two summoners were busy sending dead Al Bhed that fell while defending them. Kasumi and Buddy were there, too.
"Hello again," Dona said. "If you are looking for Yuna or her guardian, you are late. Some Guado came in here some time ago and took them away."
"Wait a little bit, we have to give the Al Bhed a proper sending," Isaaru explained. "They died protecting us... it's the least we can do for them.
In a corner of the room, they could see Isaaru's two brothers. "Where's your guardian?" Ukyo wondered.
"I lost him in Macalania Forest when the Al Bhed kidnapped me," Dona simply said. Then she got back to her work.
Ranma made a fist. "Akane... I swear, I'll find you and take you away from those Guado, I swear it!"
"And I'll help you," Tidus nodded. "Who knows what they'll do to Yuna."
"Look at them," Nabiki said to Ukyo. "Being in love really must be nice..." Ukyo just blushed and quickly looked away.
A door opened and Cid entered the room. "You all ready to go?" he asked the summoners. "We have to leave. We take the Airship, and when we're in the air, we'll just send some missiles at Home. This way, we can take all of those bastards down at once."
"And sacrifice your home?" Ranma asked. She shook her head. "I don't think so! That's one really stupid plan."
"Well, what do you know, girl?" Cid asked. "How are we gonna fight off these fiends? Us Al Bhed aren't that many, you know?"
"Don't worry," Ranma smiled. "We'll take care of them."
"Oh yes? And who are you, if I may ask?"
Ranma smirked. "I'm Ranma Saotome, heir to the Saotome school of martial arts, and chosen summoner of the Espers."
"I wouldn't care if you were Lady Yunalesca herself, girl," Cid snapped. "I won't let some kid like you tell me how to do my job."
Ranma sighed. "Kimahri..." The big Ronso stepped up and took a good hold on the Al Bhed leader.
Cid flailed around. "Hey, lemme go! You can't do this!"
Ranma smiled. "Hold him tight until we defeated all of the Guado, okay, Kimahri?"
Kimahri just nodded.
Cid glared at them. "You're crazy! You'll never make it! Those fiends will massacre you!"
"I guess that won't be a problem," Ranma simply said.
"Oh yeah? And why?"
"Listen carefully, that's her favorite part," Nabiki whispered to Isaaru.
"Because... Ranma Saotome doesn't lose!"
