Gippal swore under her breath as Eva revealed herself to Thane but he knew it was inevitable. She looked to Alex to see her trying to punch Nai's transformed body At which he yelled "NO DONT!" He understood why she would Nai would want the same thing. But he didn't there had to be away. The Aeon casted slow on Alex, With out thinking he quickly caste haste upon himself and sprinted towards them once again, as he did had to look away to leap over some debris and while he did that he missed that someone had placed Shell over Alex. 

He could take a hit. He knew with out a doubt Alex could as well. But she always had a weakness against magic, where he was somewhat stronger with his knowledge of it, from what he could remember she didn't know any. She would probably be pissed at him, but he couldn't just sit there and watch. As he reached the both of them as the aeon was about to cast Firaand wrapped his arms around the Aeon, Hunching down to cover Alex as much as he could He also reached up to grab the aeon's/Nai's arm which held the staff. He closed his eyes and prepared for the Fira to hit him.

Thane Watched as Gippal threw himself over his friend to protect her from the attack while still not attempting to fight his Aeon. He laughed at the sight. Knowing he won as Gippal wouldn't do anything to hurt his closest friends, the waiting game had payed off. He looked to his left to see a man in a red kimono, his his left arm free while his right hand held a Katana walk towards him and say  "You say you speak for Yevon? I highly doubt that. But I can make an arrangement for you to speak face to face with him in the Farplane's if you so desire." 

Thane smiled, "A warrior monk of Yevon? Don't see too many anymore. But by the looks of it you are no longer a follower...by the way you wear your haori. Why would one who is no longer a follower fight against one who is restoring the faith?" He mused. He looked away as if already disinterested in the man, as he heard singing. It was Eva, she was singing they hymn of the Fayth...while performing a Sending. 

"I should have known..." He chuckled with a smile on his face "She was always the smartest one." he said to himself. 

 Placing the book in his hand into his satchel he looked to Saina. "It would have seemed you have Experienced the world for yourself, yet after so many years are still a child in it. Perhaps for you to grow up some more...you might have to visit Macalania temple. I would say it would probably be an interesting experience to behold...now that the original Fayths have returned..." 

He pulled a small object from his pocket, "It would seem I should get to work my self. Take care of yourself my little flower." With that he clicked the object and his hologram disappeared. Leaving a small sphere behind that was the projector for it on the ground.

Urick continued to Knock away Fiends that got to close, slowly moving in a circle around Eva as she did her Sending. He did look up to see Gippal now covering Alex, planning to take the hit. Urick slammed an elbow into a Dingo sending over the edge, and looked up again. He noticed Thane disappear leaving Saina up their with another man. Where did Thane go? He had to be in the Stadium somewhere. He lifted his arms and moved closer to Eva, just in case.
