Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

Maximus was stuck in the holds of the boat while the attack raged, fighting off Fiends in the halls, keeping them away from innocent people. His blade was fast and precise as it cut through the smaller fiends that leap at him trying to get to the people behind him. Finally after a bit he managed to clear the fiends, but now the water was rising. Moving behind the people who went to the upper levels below deck he heard fighting on deck, he decided it was best to go out there now.

Running up the steps he saw utter chaos, the massive squid was destroying the ship with each blow of their attacks against it. He saw the group together as they were trying to get some sort of plan. But Saina wasn't there. He looked around and saw her overboard, suddenly pulled under along with another. With out hesitation he sprinted passed the group and dove over the railing.

Hitting the cold water he looked around, the salt water burned at his eyes but he managed to see Saina being dragged further down, using the momentum of the dive he went deeper as well, There was no way he would be able to catch up with her as he raised a single finger just infront of his face, then whipping his hand towards Saina and the tentacle, Ice would form just next to Saina, encasing part of the tentacle and shattering. Hopefully causing enough pain for it to release her. He was not going to lose her again!

That I can see, I'll just pick up after the attack because it will take me too long to read up details and edit them into my post,

Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

I'm so sorry everyone for my absences. Aer I seem to always do this to you but not anymore. I will try and make up a post today. Things have slowed down a bit for me.

Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

Saina turned to Maximus when pressed for her name, cocked her head to the side in curiosity before shrugging indifferently.

"My name is Saina Cross. No more, no less."

Maximus's mouth dropped open when he heard her name. Saina... This was Saina? There was no way there was another Saina in the world that held the exact laugh and smile that she did. He was in shock as she turned around away from him. Not even a bit interested why their names were the same. Why she didn't recognize him. He felt hurt, all these years and he (Possibly) found her...or what was left of her...if this was her at all. He couldn't even bring it up sa she continued with another conversation.

As they saw that most public transport ships were brought down in crashes, and speaking between themselves for what they could do he only took a few steps back and leaned against the wall for support. He watched the scene unfold as the Tall redhead walked in and handed a box of potions, Saina apparently not liking the woman, still... another man that he had saw earlier fighting walking up to Urick and introducing himself kinda weirdly.

But he didn't care. He found his sister. Thankful she was still alive, yet in pain that she didn't even know him. They were close as children growing up. Looking up to their uncle Auron... He would have done anything for his little sister. and now she was here and seemed not to remember a thing. Well perhaps she did and he was jumping to conclusions. He couldn't bring it up now, only when they were alone...perhaps on the boat.

He then added in. "I think we should be on the first boat out of here...if we can. We may even get stuck here if we wait a day."

Maximus looked at the woman who he suspected and when he said his name she stared at him. There was something. She even shook her head to as if ignore the name. But...if it was her why didn't she recognize him?? She simply welcomed him to the group and turned around to walk beside Urick. Did she totally forget about him? Was he just stretching for straws?

He bowed even deeper to Eva as she accepted him "The Honor is mine Lady Eva." He stood up and began to walk behind the group, the woman asking Urick which was the best place to receive potions. Though he was sure the potions would be sold out already. As he looked at everyone moving about, and the makeshift medical tent up. For those who had more serious wounds that a potion couldn't cure.

But at the moment he couldn't care. It sounded horrible but he could not think of anything else but the woman walking in front of him. The woman had the same laugh, smile, eyes as his missing sister. Yet she only looked at him as a stranger. Of course he was older, but his appearance had not changed much over the years. Save for new battle scars...Thankfully he had no grey hair...yet.

He glanced at the man beside him known as Sifen. Who was talking about his own list that needed to be fulfilled. He looked at the man and his clothes, he wondered if the man was going to be paying for it. or was asking for some handout. He wondered why the Lady Eva agreed to have this man, he seemed only useful for tinkering with Machina. Not that they had any besides the one he destroyed.

He looked back to the woman, slightly nervous about asking. What if it wasn't her, and she just happened to know another Cross and happened to look a lot like his missing sister. Taking a breath he walked a little faster to the woman and asked. "I never did catch you name....what is it? "

Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

A lot of things happened, all the while Maximus stood in the corner and watched, everyone's reactions, everyone's little motions. A simple glare would tell more than someone explaining the entire story. Quickly he was introduced to Alex, the tall redhead who was caring for the fragile woman named Naisha. He nodded in hello but remained silent while Gippal explained his plans on leaving soon with Eva, the summoner. He found out the Ice user was apart of their group and the serious one, explaining that it was up to Eva to see if Maximus will join them. He nodded, it was only proper for the summoner to do so. She then nodded to him in acknowledgement, and he did the same to her.

Naisha moaned in her sleep and as they looked to her Suddenly the woman was woken up by a man who was clumsy, knocking her bed so hard she bounced against the man. Maximus shut his eyes hard and mentally groaned. Shaking his head at the site. This caused Gippal and Urick to rush around, Urick picking up the man and Gippal rushing to Naisha's side, Apparently this young woman was deeply cared for by three others in this room who seemed to go way back. A man who would rush to a womans aid that quickly was surely to have feelings for her. He smirked as the giant Urick held the man up by the scruff his his shirt and Eva, now awake, scolding him like a child. At which he dropped him in a chair and smacked the back of his head. His smile grew a millimeter but quickly fell when he heard laughter.

He stood up from his leaning position against the wall and looked to every female face in the room, his eyes resting on the woman who used Ice. His eyes wide. He knew that laugh from anywhere. It couldn't be. He looked the woman up and down and thought it could have been her like ten to fifteen years ago... But he watched her smile, the way her shoulders bounced as she laughed. It had to be her, it was exactly how she used to laugh. Even the look in her eyes.

Maximus looked away thinking on how this could be, Yes he looked younger than he was but not that young. She was only two years younger than he, but this woman...she looked like early twenties. Impossible.

Apparently he missed alot of what happened as Urick Eva and the woman walked out, he quietly followed, His eyes on the back of the woman's head.
They stopped and the woman spoke of getting supplies and checking on her bird. No matter what he was going to stay with this group. He turned to Eva and bowed, "M'lady Eva, my name is Maximus Cross." He glanced at Saina to see if she would react at his name, "We haven't met but I used to Be a Warrior Monk of Yevon. I would wish to offer my blade to you on your..."It wasn't to fight sin, but he knew they were going after Thane, "...Journey. Please allow me to be your Guardian. I simply must stop the raving's of that madman."
