Hasira immediately turns into it, steps speeding up slightly.

Permalink

Cid follows dead on her heals.

Permalink

Another machina door bars their way, beams of light. Through them, flooded tunnels with only small walkways ringing them are visible.

Permalink

On one, a familiar and drenched face.

Permalink

"Rikku!" Cid calls.

Permalink

Is the lock of the door visible for Hasira to deal with?

Permalink

The lock is to the right of the light door, similar to the one she dealt with outside.

Permalink

Rikku stirs slightly. 

Permalink

It won't take her very long at all then.

Permalink

"[Come on, Rikku. Wake up! Time to get out of here!]"

Permalink

"[Yeesh, five more minutes, dad.]" Rikku mutters. She's clearly exhausted, from days of swimming.

Permalink

"[Five minutes and we'll have the few people Hasira's left alive to deal with!]"

Permalink

"[In my defense they were very uncooperative,]" Hasira says mildly.

Permalink

The door clicks open.

Permalink

"[Wait...dad? Hasira?]" Rikku says, shakily getting on all fours to look at the door. "[Dad! Hasira!]"

Permalink

Hasira darts forward, skidding to her knees to wrap Rikku in a hug.

Permalink

Cid follows after her. "[Yeah. We're here.]"

Permalink

Tears squeeze out of Rikku's eyes as she holds Hasira just as tightly. "[How are you here? How did you find me?]"

Her arms are shaking with exhaustion.

Permalink

"[...That is a good question, Hasira?]"

Permalink

"[Anri and I ran into Yuna. She told me you and...Wakka? Were down here. Thought you dead. I needed to be certain.]"

Permalink

"Wakka..? Wakka!" Rikku stumbles out of Hasira's arms and looks frantically back into the water. "[He was right behind me! He was-] Wakka!"

Permalink

"[Stay here,]" Hasira says. "[I'll go look.]"

And drops off the walkway into the water.

Permalink

Rikku goes to jump off after her.

Permalink

Cid wraps an arm around her waist, lifting her backwards. "[You're exhausted. Hasira can handle it.]"

Permalink

"[Wakka was- he was fighting to give me a chance to run! He was supposed to come after me! He was...he was supposed to be behind me...]"
