FFX-2: What If-
Part 2

Shendow was firm on the matter "I can tell Vidina here how to get there but I can't face that thing again and it would be wise for you girls to stay away as well." From the look in his eyes Vidina could tell he meant what he was saying.

Nico give him a dirty look. "Do as you will but us girls can fight too. It's only Angel hurt that she miss her father," she said. Angel nodded. Demi watched Shendow.

Shendow seemed angry that they didn't want to listen to him but he knew that if they faced the monster that he faced it could be the end of them..all of them. "Fine then go I was just trying to help but if you think that you can win where Tidus and myself failed then just go I won't try to stop you."

"Thank you," Angel said she couldn't wait get home and see her mother and father. Nico and Demi agree. Angel looked at Naota. "Are you ok? Will you be caming still?" she asked him. Naota wasn't sure about any of it but he wasn't about to let the others go on without him "Yeah i'm going..." Shendow had a sad look about him as he turned to walk off the other way. "The path is just up ahead follow it north till you reach the pillers then travel northeast till you reach it's cave..." Vidina watch then turned "You heard the man now lets get going."

Angel nodded and pulled her guns out with Demi following with her weapon and Nico with her sword. "Time get home," she said while everyone head out to the cave. Vidina lead the group north and all the while was followed by Shendow against his better thoughts he knew he'd be needed later on so he taged along far behind. Angel saw the cave. "Hey Demi yopu think your grandfather Cid waiting for us," Angel said. Nico agree with her. "He should I mean he might be shock seeing Tidus right about now," she said.

Vidina saw the cave and inside the beast that somehow dispersed of Tidus. "OK I think everyone should rest up for a while before we fight this thing from what Shendow said it isn't going to be easy." Shendow watched the group muttering to himself, "Don't go in please don't go into the cave..."

Demi looked at him. "Shendow while our parents fight they had to do what to save Spira," she said while laying down to rest. Nico and Angel were asleep already. "Demi" Shendow said, "I understand why you fight but you aren't ready you just arn't..."Time past and while the others slept Shendow watched over the group never once taking his eyes off the cave and the evil that lay inside. Nico awaked to see Shendow still awake. "What's wrong?" she asked. Angel and Demi sleep on.

Shendow was startled then he looked over a Nico "I was watching over everyone I'm the only one that knows what this beast is capable of and I don't want to see any harm to come to you or your friends. Inside that cave is an evil force that is greater then anything you have ever seen it makes sin seem like a puppy and if we go in there there is a very small chance we come out alive."

Nico sighed. "But its the only way for us get him. I mean Angel never met her father until today but we were late," she said watching Angel sleep. Demi held on Vidina while sleeping and Angel held on Naota.

"I heard it," Nico said looking around. Angel stay besode Naota with Demi stay with Vidina. "I don't like those noise," Angel said. Demi nodded in agreement. Vidina turned and seemed to be trying to hear something "you guys stay here I'l be right back." and with that Vidina was off in just a few short minutes he returned with a young muscular man draging him by the back of his shirt. "This little punk has been following us for a while now anyone." Shendow was wide eyed almost wild in appearence,"let me go I can't help you now no one can just let me go!"

Angel giggled at her cousin. "You really have Uncle Wakka's bad mood, Vidina.," she said. Demi looked at Shendow. Nico gived him a dirty look. "Well we don't like be followed like that," she said. Shendow's eyes eased "I'm sorry I wanted to help you but...I don't know how i can help I mean I just don't know." Vidina didn't seem to happy with Shendow or with Naota for saying that he could help.

Angel and Demi tried to keep Vidina calm. "Better think of something before Vidina goes nuts again," Nico said. Shendow was somewhat fearful but did his best to calm his captive "I can help fend off anything that might attack but till I understand the situation you are in I can do little else." Vidina seemed to calm more because of the girls then anything "You can stay but just know I'll be keeping an eye on you."

Angel and Demi sighed even Nico sighed too. "So what happen?" Angel asked him. Demi wondered if Tidus is around she want find him soon for Angel's sake. Nico had her arms cross still. Shendow looked from face to face "I don't know what happened you see Tidus was fighting some crazy looking moster and then there was this flash he was gone but you guys showed up..." Shendow lowered his head "I wanted to help but the beast tossed me away like a toy there was nothing I could do."

"But my mother told me he return here after they beat Sin," Angel explained. She had a feeling she need to tell Shendow who's her parents are even herself. "I'm Angel also known as Jessica. Yuna and Tidus are my parents," she said. Demi and Nico watched to see what happen. Shendow didn't seem to notice what she said he just went on "He was here but now he's gone I...I couldn't help I just couldn't Help him..."

"Wha!" Angel said surprising looking at Naota. Than she look sad and start to cry. "Dad..." she whipsered. Demi hugged her coz tight. "What now?" Nico asked. Vidina didn't like what he was hearing but from the sounds of it Shendow was telling the truth. "We need to find this monster that Shendow spoke of. "Shendow where did you last see it?" Shendow spoke his voice shaky "After the blast it ran of to the north but I won't go there I...I can't go there..."

Nico looked at him. "Why not?" she asked. Angel kept crying. "I wanted seen my Dad so bad," she said in her sobs. Demi held her still.
