Chapter One
Zanarkand
I walk down a long street in Zanarkand, towards the blitz stadium where my brother, star player of the Zanarkand Abes will play against the Duggles, I get to sit in the best seat in the house since well, like I said, I'm their star players brother, in a year or two though, I won't be in the stands anymore, I'll be out on the field with my brother, Tidus. The only reason I'm not on the team is because I'm apparently a year to young, the age requirement is sixteen and I'm only fifteen, I'm not quite as good as Ti, he's been training me though and I'm pretty darn close to him.
Ti left to go to the stadium about a half hour ago, players gotta get there early and it's not like I need to get there early so I get a good seat. I glance around, despite the fact that I've lived here all my life, the tall buildings of the city still amaze me, each one is at the very least forty stories tall with most taller than that, they are lit up, glistening like stars at night somewhat making up for the lack of ability to see the actual stars unless your at the beach.
In mere minutes I am at the stadium, walking through a side door, unbeknownst to the rabid fans racing into the stadium, I see my brother and the rest of his team sitting in the blue and white locker room; they walk towards the blitz field but Ti waits up, eyeballing me.
"Sup Ti, ready for the game?" I ask the blonde blitzer. He merely smirks in response.
"Never been more ready Ezra, the Duggles are gonna eat my dust." The ocean eyed blitzer tosses his blitz ball in the air, catching it and then ruffling my goldish blond hair.
"Yeah well, go on out there, don't wanna keep the crowd waiting, I'll be cheering for you Ti!" Tidus nods and walks out to the stadium, where his team is waiting. I walk down to my seat, looking at the stadium filling with water, in a mere minute it's full and the game begins. The ball shoots up and a player who I am unfamiliar with on the Abes grabs the ball, he dashes forward and dodges a tackle from a Duggles player, only to have the ball stolen by another player, Tidus rams into them, knocking them out of the stadium and into the cushioned bottom three rows of the seats, Tidus grabs the floating ball and shoots it up in the air, jumping out of the sphere pool to pull off his trademark shot, the sphere shot. I see him going to kick the ball, the crowd cheering; Tidus' foot nearly hits the ball before several shots of energy whiz past him.
"Tidus!" I shout, standing from my seat and running to the rail of the row of seats, I watch in horror as a chunk of the stadium is ripped off, I gaze at Tidus, hanging from the top of the stadium. I run back to the locker room and out of the stadium, over to a ladder that from what I know, leads to the top of the stadium to where Tidus is, I begin to climb the atleast sixty foot tall ladder which for a reason I don't know the stupid construction workers that built this stadium didn't put freaking safety bars around the ladder, with that aside I get about twenty feet up, I glance over at Tidus, struggling to hold on, I hear one more explosion though, this one close to me, I feel the wind knocked out of me as the wall the ladder is on explodes, knocking me off, in the split second before I fall to the ground I see Tidus, also falling. I hit the floor hard, glancing around hazily, "T-Tidus…" is the only word I manage to get out before falling unconscious.
