Chapter 7: Sin

Analyzing. Her scanners read, as she fiercely charged at the sea monster.  Species unknown. She didn’t know what it was, nor did she care. It was interfering with her primary objective and that was all that mattered. She flew past Yuna, Tidus, Wakka , and Kimhari and leapt off the deck, driving a blade into the beast. The beast winced and made ferocious waves, knocking the ship left and right. Scales the size of boulders flew from it’s back and hatched on the ships’ deck.

“Sin spawn!” Shouted Wakka in the background. The guardians made themselves busy protecting their summoner, and Yuna herself looked after their wellbeing with white magic spells. All the while, KOS-MOS was filling her database, and weakening the beast with her blades. She had already taken note to avoid her advanced weapons system, although she would use it if it interfered the likelihood of victory.

Her primary objective was to protect vector employees. Which meant there were two things she needed to prevent. Death by the sea monster, and the sea monster causing the sinking of the ship. Shion was with Jin, using her Jujitsu skills to fend off the sin-spawn. Jin himself was not listed as a priority in her database, however she was confident that Jin’s blade was sufficient protection for the time being. Allen, the other vector employee, was safe in the cabin, hiding from the pandemonium. Her mission was clear now: fend off the beast without sinking the ship.

A rope with a harpoon attachment flew over the android’s head.  “Lady Yuna, we’re sorry but our families are in Kilika!” a ship mate notified. Yuna nodded and continued to fight and attend to her guardians. More harpoons flew into the beast, and it merged to the right, causing the ship to be dragged with it.

KOS-MOS saw the danger in this, and leapt from sins back to the adjacent deck. No one was interfering with KOS-MOS’ objective. She sliced some of the rope attachments, causing the others to give under sins’ strain. The ship flung in the opposite direction, and Yuna almost fell into the sea. KOS-MOS executed her secondary objective, the safety of civilians- if possible.

“Thank you…” the summoner gasp under her breath, thankful for the androids swift actions and firm grip.

“I am happy to be of service.”  was the blue-haired machine’s reply as she gently released Yuna into safety. KOS-MOS continued her objective, firing at Sin with her laser pistols.

BANG, BANG, BANG, POW.

The noise that Jr.’s markarovs echoed at sea. He had fired 3 rounds all ready, he was already half way through his ammo supply. As soon as Jr. heard the word “Sin” shouted he ran to the upper deck to tend to MOMO. MOMO was playing her usual role of support and Ziggy obliterated the Sin-spawn as it came. Jr. alternated between firing directly at Sin, and shooting down sin-spawn. He had to be careful not to harm any civilians in the panic, shooting from such a high distance on a wobbly ship was risky business.

“LOOK!” shouted MOMO as she pointed outward to the lower deck. Yuna summoned her bird. Jr. didn’t know they could be used in combat. He previously thought they were symbolism or something to that effect. It was good to know it had a practical use.

Seeing that Valefore momentarily occupied Sin, he turned his attention to the sin-spawn and MOMO. MOMO was firing her arrows into a surrounding group of fiends, and Jr. finished them off. Ziggy cut through another group with his Jack-knife attachment. Together, through their divide and conquer strategy, they made a great team. Before long, it seemed Sin itself had given up on the top deck, focusing on the larger, more divided lower deck instead.

With that, the trio ran down the steps to aide their friends.
