She blinked, she half expected Ave to yell something out at her or even attack her... but this made her think Roxa was back. She looked at him, noticing that his eyes are back to being normal.
And then she felt terrible for punching him, "R-Roxa, A-um-you-"
She stuttered along, trying to find the words to apologize, finally she simply bent down and hugged him. She breathed a sigh of relief now that he was back, "I'm so glad you're back, Roxa."

Roxa didn't even have a clue what was going on right now, I mean, he knew that with Ave taking over something bad must have happened but what could he have done to really warrant what Roxa just received? "Um... It's... O-okay?" he suggested as he wrapped an arm around Alessia's shoulders "And I guess I'm glad to be back... I think!" he added on the end with a smile as he rubbed his forehead once more.

Yeligar looked over at Juno, then to Eli. "Right now, we just need information. Anything we can get to find a lead is good. If you don't want to, then I can, but she seem to like you more than I." He said to him, "We just need to get a lead of something or else things will end badly." He remembered the woman's word, as if she just said it right then and there.
'It doesn't matter who you protect today, because tomorrow there will be no Alloruiam left to protect.'
"So, what will it be Eli? If you don't want to, that is fine."

Yep, this was the good Roxa, she smiled and hummed happily. As far as she was concerned everything was okay now.
Of course in the back of her mind she was worried, worried how long until Ave took back control, and would he hold control longer next time?
She pushed those thoughts aside, she would have to worry about that some other time.

"Umm... Alessia?" Roxa asked as he released her from the hug and pulled himself upwards to his feet "I just have one question, where are we and what are we doing here?" he looked around at the others still confused "One second we're trapped in the cavern away from the Shade, the next Ave's taken over and we're here..."

"Oh, uh..." She blinked, recollecting her thoughts, "Oh! Right, well, long story short. It turned out Juno was working for a group who also seemed to be working with Shade, they seemed very mad that she was helping us and left her here. So now we're here deciding what we should do with her... which is of course being that we'll help her through this, right?"

Eli looked over at Juno at the camp and looked at for a moment, she was very not like her usual self, shoulders sagged and head hung over. He thought about it before turning to Yeligar.
"Alright...I'll talk to her."

Kouichi nodded. "Go and do that, Eli. You're the only one who can help her right now."
He turned to Yeligar. "Its true, we need the information she has to give us - but I believe that sometimes, a second chance is all you need. I mean, look at Roxa and Alessia; just over a year ago, they were in the same boat, right?"
He shrugged.
"ANd they're not the only ones who know what its like to have torn loyalties," he added, dropping his eyes to the ground, hands in his pockets.
Kouji sighed. "I still don't trust her."

Kurai stood on the edge of the group, seemingly not interested in the discussion going on nearby over the fate of the young Juno. It wasn't so much that he didn't care, more that it wasn't his job to. He was a Lunar Knight and that occupation had to come first and foremost in his mind. Still... He did feel bad for the girl...
Looking out over the horizon he wondered on what had become of Vash and Volkmar. He had known that his seal wouldn't hold back Volk's rage but still, he had hoped it would have contained him long enough for them to think of a permanent solution. But once more he could not allow himself the liberty of such thoughts, they needed to move on.
"We wait too long for such a frivolous decision" he said rather bluntly as he watched Eli hang his head.
"If you are going to talk to her, do it now so that we can move on. We need to get to Ketulunanox soon and stop the enemy before it is too late!"

Eli nodded and walked over to her, each step was filled with uncertainty...what should he say to her? Should he gruff and to the point, or ask her politely and hope she answers...? He wasn't sure how he felt about her being with the Ketulunains...I guess he would find out soon.
"Hey..." Eli said, getting Juno's attention.

Juno looked up and her head lowered again, she muttered back, "hey."
Eli sat down next to her and the two of them sat their in silence, neither of them unsure of what to do or say to each other. Until finally Eli was the one who burst out.
"Why didn't you tell us you were Ketulunian?"
Juno flinched, as if the question physically hurt her before answering. "Claire...the woman from earlier...told me the Alloruiams do not have good history with us and I should keep my nationality a secret. Also she said people simply known as "The Heroes" were against us, so secrecy was my advantage."
She paused and then turned to him. "Why didn't you tell me you were a Lunar Knight?"

"Huh?" Eli said, caught off guard by the odd question. "It um...well...it never really came up...why's it important anyway, it's not like I am the Sumata XIII it-"
"It's very important," Juno said. "Berserkers are monsters...or so I hear, they use their rage and slay anyone in their way...after today how can I be wrong?"
Volkmar... Eli thought, worried about the Black Moon warrior.
"But...there's more to it you know!" Eli said, thinking of things. "I mean...not all Lunar Knights are monsters um...uh...Kurai seems...decent..."
"I suppose..." Juno said, but still unconvinced.
"Um...well, Seth is- no bad choice..." he put his hand to his chin. "I..."
He paused and then he turned to her, tapping her shoulder to get her to look at him. "What about me?"

"You?" Juno blinked, Eli nodded.
"Yeah, me?" Eli said. "Am I a monster? I mean, I am a Lunar Knight...am I rage filled Berserker?"
Juno looked at him and his earnest blue eyes before shaking her head, "No...no you're not. You're very nice and sweet, I may not have known you very long but...you're different, I know that much about you."
Silence, before she spoke again, voice cracked and shuddering, "Do...do you hate me?"
Eli swallowed hard before answering, "No, I don't...Juno, the man who took your place though...the Shade...we have to stop him. If there's anything you can tell me, please tell me."

Juno was silent for awhile before she sighed, "There's not much for me to tell you don't already know...but we're looking for crystals, special crystals."
"What do they do?" Eli asked.
"They power up something, an old device our ancestors used to go to Allorum when we arrived: The Sky Hook." she explained.
"What does the Sky Hook do? Why do they want to use it?"
"That's the thing, I can't imagine what they could want it for," Juno said, "it was a transport platform, nothing more."
"Do they have an army they want to transport?"
"No," Juno shook her head, "No what you see is what you get...most of us died in a plague long ago, we're the last."
Eli frowned, this made less and less sense. "Is there anything else that was odd?"
"...There was one thing," Juno said, "Claire wanted us to get three crystals, it's odd...cause the Sky Hook only needs one to activate it. In fact using even two would..." she paused, her eyes widening, "overload it..."
"What will happen if the Sky Hook overloads?" Eli asked.
"It'll careen to the planet, uncontrollably," Juno said, "in fact once it'll impact the planet it'll send a shockwave of Lunar energy so deadly in strong it'll be a noxious poison to everyone on the planet...it'll wipe out anyone whose on the surface..."
"That's how she's going to do it," Juno summed it up, "she's gonna make the Sky Hook crash onto Allorum and kill everyone with the poison fallout!"
Eli's eyes widened, "I got to tell the others," he was about to move, but paused to hug Juno first. Once he was finished he ran to the others. "Guys! Guys! I know what they're going to do!"
He then proceeded to explain everything Juno told him.

Meanwhile, Yuna walked over to Tidus.
There was still discomfort between them, but in light of her recent promise to him about Volkmar, she felt like she had to say something.
"...Tidus?" she asked, wanting so badly to reach out and put a hand on his shoulder, but not knowing if she should.
