Your Magic Final Fantasy Adventure

Chapter 20- Avanti, Salvatori!

(Highwind's ship)

"Are we lost?" asked Yuffie.

"No, we ain't lost, girlie," Cid Highwind checked the navigation panel. "Hold yer horses."

Yuffie was aboard the first airship with Cloud, Zack, and the members of NORA, and Cid Highwind of course. She was displeased that Logan put her on a ship with mostly strangers, and weird strangers at that.

"Yuffie!" Yuj called to her from the other side of the room. "Do you wanna help me? I'm about to exchange intel with the other ships!"

"Yeah!" Out of everyone on the ship, Yuffie hung out with Yuj the most. He had a friendly, laid-back personality, a welcome contrast to Yuffie's energy. She pulled up a chair and glanced at all the knobs and switches. "Whoa, how do you work this thing?"

"Maqui showed me. I should just have to press this button, and flip a few of these switches here..."

The screen switched on, and although no one appeared yet, noises could be heard, indicating that the communicator was connected. Grabbing the microphone, Yuj began the official address. "Good evening. The current hour is 19:23, on Day Three of this voyage. This is Yuj Yamamoto and Yuffie Kisaragi from Ship 1, checking in. We currently find ourselves flying over Lake Bresha, off the coast of the country of Cocoon. Signs of our destination are not present."

There was a crackling sound before a voice came through the speaker, "This is Noel Kreiss and Serah Farron checking in from Ship 2. We're flying over Midgar as we speak, and there are no signs of our destination."

"Why isn't the picture showing up?" asked Yuffie.

"We usually only use the radio for talking. The screen is for the map, if one of us needs to show everyone else a particular place."

There was more crackling then, meaning that another ship was checking in. "This is Selphie Tilmitt and Mishaela Pagliardi from Ship 3. We just cleared the airspace of Sydney, Australia, and there's nothing there."

Almost instantly the last transmission came in. "This is Rinoa Heartilly and Brecken Islington from Ship 4. Currently, we're flying over Bevelle, with no sight of our destination."

(On the Al Bhed ship)

"Still nothing?" Rikku said to Yuna and Paine as she heard Noel and Serah give the address. She let out an impatient huff of air.

"Rikku, it's only Monday. We still have the whole week," Yuna put her arm around her cousin to comfort her.

"Don't remind me," Rikku pouted. "I was hoping we could go to the beach and everything! But it doesn't seem like we'll be able to at this rate."

"It's only 67 degrees outside," Serah said as she joined the girls. "That's not really beach weather."

Rikku, Yuna, Paine, Noel, and Serah were on Ship 2 along with Gavin and Squall. It was a lively ship for the most part. Rikku playfully referred to it as the "ship of searching lovers," because most of the crew had a special someone that had been taken, except for herself, Paine, Squall, and...

"Gavin, why did Logan separate you and Mishaela?" Rikku asked. She could guess that he didn't even know Squall and Rinoa were a thing, due to the former's aloof personality, but he was obviously well-acquainted with Gavin.

"Yeah, that's a good question," added Serah. "You'd ought to be there to comfort her about her sister."

Gavin sat on a nearby chair. "We're not a couple anymore."

Rikku's eyes widened. "What?! No! You guys were so cute together! I demand an explanation!"

As the younger kids talked, Paine and Noel sat together, drinking water. "How do you think everyone's doing?" Paine asked.
