The night went normal. Well as normal as it could get I suppose. Riku fell asleep after Mileena made some grumbling noise. She attached herself to me keeping any hank panky chances from happening. I enjoyed it honestly. Keeping Mileena happy made me feel good. The chance to talk with Riku most of the night was pleasant as well. We left and moved to the closest temple to get her the next Summons. Riku didnt try to dissuade her at all. She more or less gave her support more than anything. She explained before falling asleep last night.
The best thing to do was follow along with the regular events. However, we would do what we could to make her stronger. Riku knew a few things to make her cousin more powerful now. A lot more powerful.
I was in the back with Mileena. I couldn't stop staring at her. When I didnt look at her my eyes went to Riku. Then to Hotshot. It was driving me bananas. I could feel the sword talking to me. He wasn't telling me anything to crazy. Just what I could do to please them and myself. He felt how wary I was of him, so he didnt tempt me with any of the excess exploitation. I just couldn't trust I wouldn't get screwed over by him. I left it as a joke from the previous day. No way that was in my sword. Especially in this world.
"You know my Khan.. we can dip off and have a go at it. We could then catch up right after." Mileena said as she moved in front of me and started walking backward. She didnt need to tempt me. Just her regular cat-like movements were doing it for me.
"That.. really sounds good. But it wouldn't work at all. I wouldn't be able to stop with a quick one." Staring at her up and down I shuddered in anticipation. "I couldn't do so little with you." Mileena smiled and ran to catch up with Hotshot and had a talk with her.
Galtea: The side effects of your time waiting in Zanarkand are showing. Your willpower is becoming stronger.
'I figured. Why did you think it was ok for me to watch all of that for all those years?' I wanted to be angry but felt calmer in a way. I felt my Pyscho/Soul power was more intuned with me. 'Wait was that the reason why? For my powers to relax.'
Galtea: For that power to relax yes. A few other things as well. Send your power to the sword.
'Alright.' I did just that with no problem. I felt the presence inside.
'Greetings my Master.' A twisted male/female voice came out. I felt goosebumps for only a second before my power buffed it. In an instant, it was tamed once again.
'Holyshit! You are.. nah..nah this cant be. I thought that was a joke.'
'No my Master not a joke. I am the remnants of an Eldar God. The one you and your ilk refer to as Slannesh now. My original name has long been lost to me and my people.'
'Explain. One of you. I dont care who!' I was weirded out beyond belief. You know that feeling you get once you live through something and later it feels fake. That is how I felt right now.
'Long ago before the Great Fall! I and my brethren fought in the war of heaven. Injured, I retreated. My followers gave into despair and turned to excess and various forms of indulgence. Eventually becoming a pleasure cult. Before I could gather enough strength to stop them the various Choas powers had struck. They twisted my weaken people changing and warping their minds. So far away from me spiritually there was nothing I could do. Then it happened. They performed a ritual so strong it pulled reality apart. Giving birth to the one now known as Slannesh. Well me anyway. In my anger at what they had done, I destroyed multiple Craftworlds as compensation to the Galaxy. That was a mistake.'

'I cant.. even.. ugh... I feel like my day just got ruined.' Feeling sick to my stomach I tried to breathe. "I'm kool. I'm kool." I then started to freak out. "I am not kool. Not kool!"
Galtea: You won't like what is about to happen next.

"Arrrghh you have got to be kidding me!" In my anger, I fired a concussive shot into the air frustrated.
"Boooom!" It exploded in the air dispersing the clouds above.
Mileena came to me a little worried about me. "Are you ok my Khan?"
"I.. yeah no. No, I am not. Just found out something terrible." Looking into her eyes I relaxed instantly. She was generally concerned about me. "Dont worry I will get through this."
"We will get through this," Mileena said stroking my shoulder. I could feel several parts of my psyche approve of this. "I will tell Riku it was just a slight spell you were working on."
"Yeah, your right." I shook away my current thoughts. "Ah dont tell her that. I rather you, do not lie for me." Thinking to myself I couldn't help but wonder if I could summon a giant sea creature for us to travel on. I dismissed that immediately. Talking to Slannesh and Galtea we came up with a solution for some things.
'Ok so Slannesh you feed off my pleasurable thoughts and in turn, you pass on physic teachings for me to use. Take it or leave it.' I thought to him. 'I hate drugs so you are lost on that as well. Nor do Indulge in much of anything. Unless you count fantasizing and reading books.'
Galtea: It would help him grow I suppose. I cant discard the idea of you gaining a strong physic teacher. Who better than Slannesh for you? Well, there is Tzeentch but.. you would most likely go crazy from dealing with him/her.

'I have no qualms about this, my Master. Just never stop growing your physic power and you will continue to grow in strength.' Slannesh was quite pleased with the arrangement from his/her tone. 'As per the agreement with the High Eldar God I will assist you.'
We traveled for a few more hours. Just conversing. My day started to get better.
We arrived at the port a little before sunset. We were going to wait for a boat to ferry us where we needed to go. This place looked familiar. A beautiful sand beach that leads to a vast ocean. Bungalow's all along the stretch of land that I could see. It remined me of the Carribean in a way. It wasn't till I saw Riku worried face that I remembered. This place would be destroyed by a giant wave caused by Sin.
Walking over I decided we could help the folks out. After convincing Riku to help me. We got started with Hotshot. Throughout the beach area, we placed Water Runes on the ground. It took a while but we got it done right before the boat was ready to depart.
Galtea: I hope this works. I am happy you are helping the locals. Considering what happened earlier today I didnt think you would care.
'Meh, dont mind helping if I am nearby or paying attention for that matter.' Shrugging mentally at her I look at our handiwork. It was quick and would have to do. 'Besides, consider it a whim most times.
Soon as we were aboard, the attack by sin spawn started. But that was something Tidus group could handle no problem. I had bigger things to worry about. Activating Misty Fist, I place it around my feet. With my biotic shielding activated as well. I jumped overboard.
System: Willpower Check Succesful 23
I felt like the Bubble Boy running across the water. Well more like wheeling across. As I went about doing this I was casting a spell. Bigger than anything I ever practiced before.
Behind me, the fight was getting more intense.
"Roaar," the Sin creature screamed in pain. It pulled itself back underwater. Creating little ripples in the ocean.
The ship then pulled further out. I heard Rikku scream.
"Look out!" She pointed to the side. A wave way bigger than the one I have seen in the game was coming towards me.
"That is way bigger than I remembered," I said to know one in particular. "Here goes nothing." I raised my hands and snapped my fingers triggering the rune seals. A barrier of water formed. Throughout several parts of the barrier, there were whirlpools. The purpose of those was to help pull the water apart into a current if it got passed me. In the inside of the barrier, several funnels of water would pull togethor to create a waterspout. Draining from the other side of the ocean. "I really wish Jaina was here for this." That was the plan anyway. Magic is supposed to make miracles so here's to that.
The wave hit against the barrier causing it to fluctuate. Standing on the opposite side, I drew on my magic reserves and imagined my self pushing the water back. It wasn't enough. My magic was lacking in sheer power. Now that I thought about it Bi-Han said that to me before.
I drew in my physic energy and mixed it in with the magic. The wave started to pull back. The small respite gave me hope. Then I saw it. The Sin creature mixed within the wave.
"Oh, Bullock's to this!" I yelled at it. Shaping the barrier, waterspout, and all the magic energy in the air. I turned it into a pair of giant hands. Sending into the wave I had it pull the Sin creature out. It's name floated in my sight.
(Sin: Echuilles Lv 20)
'Well damn!' I stared at the sheer size of the blasted thing. Then my observe kicked in even more.
(Echuilles, deceased Summoner from 600 years ago.)
It lashed back sending the hand back and to the side. I felt that with my real hands. The physic backlash hitting against me immediately. Striking out with my other hand I turned it into a piercing strike. I parted the water to allow for maximum penetration.
"Schhlk!" My hand went right through the frontal part of the creature. Digging my hand in, I started to pry it open. Swinging its giant head towards me, I grabbed it with my other hand. Pulling it by the mouth I could barely keep a grip as it kept wresting itself from my hold.
"Keep still as I kill you. Damn useless summoner!" I felt my anger boiling over. I was sick of things not working out. My lack of training ticked me off once again. I started to aggressively punch at it again. For every time it smacked against my hand I would claw at its chest and punch it in the face.
System: Constitution Check Successful 29
Feeling my actual fist turn raw, I looked at them. My skin and muscles had peeled off from my attack. I looked over to the side seeing the ship was far away. That was good they were safe. Yuna wouldn't get plagued by the death of this village.
Echuilles sent a few sin scales at me. Summoning my wolf side I let it take care of them. I focused on the biggun. "Bam," I backhanded the creature. I felt the biotic strands as it turned to look back at me. The look in its eye was incredulous. It felt offended that I backhanded it.
"You can yield. Fight against Sin or die. Your choice, you failure of a summoner." I didnt care for its feelings anymore. "You should have stopped clinging to life and let your self die and this wouldn't have happened." It was cruel but who cared.
"Roaaar!" It bellowed at me.
Sending my open hand inside of its maw, I shaped spikes to pierce outward. It reeled back in pain gurgling up something.
Pulling on its pain and suffering I transferred it to physic energy. Something in me boiled over as my chest started to burn hot. I could feel my Nether World reacting.
System: Overlord's Fury unlocked.
"Good of time as any." Focusing on the chest wound I gave it, everything was going there. "Overlord's Fury!" My body tensed up and I felt power come from within me. I felt my Summons leave.
A giant aquatic claw appeared above me. I watched as it moved on its own striking Echuilles. Out of the head, a spike appeared. Out of the center, two more spikes shot out. At the bottom another spike. I thought it was over than more spike appeared coming out of each direction. Soon all that was left was a sphere of water. It shrunk and then nothing. A flash of light appeared. A bunch of pyreflies and spirits floated in front of me.
System: Level up x1, Sin fragment obtained, Summoner Chronicle obtained.
Galtea: Are you ok. You stopped responding for a few minutes.
'The souls of these .. people disgut me. They ran from the fight against Sin. The summoner didnt try to fight till the end. She loved the attention but hate doing the work. These Guardians of hers enabled her and joined in on oppressing the people. No wonder the island was to be destroyed by Sin. These people are worthless.
Galtea: You passed through the village earlier. Did you feel that from them as well?
'No, you are right. They changed after this lot here died and fail. Well, I guess not fail. She did injure Sin well enough that someone else was able to kill it.
Galtea: What will you do with the sphere? It is concentrated magic.
'I rather just destroyed it completely and everything inside and feed it to the sword or my psyche.'
Galtea: That is your choice.
'I won't say no to this meal Master. The spirits here are tasty.' Slannesh said to me.
I thought about it again. Staring at the group of pyreflies, souls and decided. "You become my summons till I decide to free you and I let them go on there way to the farplane. If not.." I tapped my sword just to make sure she understood.
"You cant be serious. We did our best!" A guardian said. "What right do you have..." I cut his voice short with a flick of my sword. His body was cut in half then absorbed.
"I am not in the mood. I having trouble just looking at you all as it is." I rubbed my temples. I overestimated myself once again. I was paying for it the hard way. Mom always said I only knew how to understand after the pain.
"I will follow you.. my Summoner." She bowed her head to me and started to break down and enter me. I looked at the rest and grinned. "Off you all go now." Extending my left hand at them. My Soul Power went out and sent them to the farplane.
"Fwoosh, fwoosh," two gust of wind came up to me. It was Riku and Mileena. Floating on wind currents they just stared at me.
"What is it? Did something bad happen again?" I asked already finding this day to be one of my worst yet.
"No," Mileena said. Her eyes had a worried look.
"Come back to the ship. The island is safe and the ship is getting further away." Riku said as she grabbed me by the side. Mileena flanked my otherside.
"Fwoosh," we took off. With both of their winds intermixing pushing us along it didnt take long as all. In a matter of minutes, we made it to the ship. As soon as we did I felt the pain hit me finally.
"Ahh, damn it all." My knee hit the deck. Way harder than I wanted it to. "Thump. Creen!" I bent the metal exterior. "Why am I so heavy?"
I started to activate my biotics to heal the damage.
"Stop!" Riku yelled at me. She uncorked a potion and poured it over my arms. The burning sensation cleared the cobwebs in my mind. "Let us do it before you kill yourself!"
Looking down I finally noticed. My veins had ruptured as well as several blood vessels. My bones were broken and had trouble healing. Even with my upgrades, this body was a mess.
Mileena came over with Hotshot in tow. Immediately her eyes went wide. She didnt thinks it was that bad at first I figured. She reached her hand out and commanded the seawater over my body.
"Ahhhhhh," I groaned in pleasure as I leaned against the railing. "Thanks for that." I stared at Riku and watched as she continued to work on me. Mileena had darted off for some reason. "You ok Riku?"
"That was stupid of you." Her voice came out angry. I couldn't see her eyes at all. Or her mouth. "That was not the plan." She said. I couldn't even feel any biotic strands coming off her.
"I know it wasn't. But I had to change it up. The barrier would not have held long enough. It was more powerful than I imagined. Even factoring in the fact everything was made harder." I tried to move closer but Hotshot pinned me with the water healing. I looked at her, she was not happy as well with me. "You know I thought you two would be happy. Considering how much you love this place and all."
Then I felt it. A drop of water on my exposed thigh. It was not from the healing. Riku was crying. I reached up to grab her face but she darted off.
Hotshot walked over and sat down next to me. "We were worried about you. Especially Mileena and Riku." Hotshot spared me a sidelong glance. "Something is bugging you. I can tell. What is it?"
"I think I should say when it's the four of us. It was something I realized in Zanarkand." I said to her. She grunted. We sat in silence till Mileena came up with Yuna and Tidus.
"Heal him. You use your magic to make sure." Mileena said. She seemed flustered as her speech came out weird.
"I am patched up. But thanks Mileena." I smiled she still pointed at Yuna to continue. "If it will make you feel better go for it."
"It will. So shush!" Mileena said.
"Of course!" Yuna smiled and waved her wand over me. "It just a regen spell. Just help tide you over."
"Thank you," I said as she left. Tidus looked at me. "What?"
"You took on a tidal wave." Tidus started to say something more but was interrupted. "That was.."
"Stupid!" Riku said walking up. She had some clothes with her. She threw them at me. She glared at Tidus who in responsive walked away.
I noticed he went to follow Yuna. "At least that has not changed." Looking at the clothes notice it was a pair of pants and a shirt. "Thanks, Riku," I said as I started to undress and change.
"You dont care that you are in public?" Riku asked.
"No. Not really." Changing the close out I started to tell them. "Don't get mad or weird but.. well.. I died."
