The summoner's eyes widened in fear as she saw the change wash over the blonde. She reached outward, as though somehow she could have have pulled them both out of this living nightmare... But Shiva waved another arm, more divine ice coming down, the drop in temperature making all the changes over the Al Bhed's body happen all the quicker -- and more harsh.
Yuna fell to her knees at the gruesome sight, embracing herself with her injured and good arms, squeezing into her own flesh. There was something else at work here too, a dizzying fever, a cold sweat... had she been poisoned without realizing? "D-... don't come out!" she screamed, rocking forward as the tears fell freely from her eyes, her mouth agape in an ugly cry. She couldn't do it, she couldn't kill Rikku even if it wasn't Rikku! Hadn't Bahamut died because of her only days ago? And now here she was, killing the little family she had left?!
Shiva looked down towards the girl giving the commands, and if you looked close enough -- something akin to pity shone in the aeon's eyes, as she too disappeared.
It was just too cruel. Yuna's head bowed low as her shoulders shook with the sobs. As the fire lit all around her, the blackened flames licked at her legs, but she didn't move. She could barely even breathe. The summoner leaned her head back, eyes to the sky, her good arm reaching to touch the crystal that had been returned to her. "I'm sorry..." her voice strained, even though the words they spoke were all to familiar. I'm sorry, Rikku. I just couldn't do it. Not to you...
The fire swallowed her up, her robes burning, the embers racing up, devouring the white and turning it black and burnt, until the girl's form finally fell over. But out from her, the flames began to change. Red and orange began to shine through brightening the room, the black subsiding and burning brightly to life again, Yuna's Last Breath activating.
Spinning from the centre of it all, Ifrit returned to the battlefield with a deafening roar. He'd warned you foul creature, hadn't he? But now was beyond the time of warnings. His summoner lay dead, and revenge was the only way to satiate the beast it had awoken. The flames burned hotter than ever, a white hot rage building up and exploding around the two of them as Ifrit leapt forward with his claws, Hellfire blazing all around them.
