Journey to Final Fantasy X-2
A/N: I'm doing yet another one of those trapped in a video game things. I enjoy writing them and some people enjoy reading them. This time the target is X-2. I've only beaten it with the Good Ending so I have yet to see the Perfect one but this fic begins at the start of the game.
Disclaimer: I don't own FFX-2 or FFX or anything else that is owned by someone else here. I only own the character that gets trapped here.
Chapter 1, The Journey's Start
"How did I get myself into this mess?" I asked myself thinking over my current situation. Just a few hours ago I was in my living room playing Final Fantasy X-2 and now I'm face to face staring down the barrel of a gun.
How did this start? Well let me tell you before I bite the bullet so to speak.
It was winter break where I live so I had the week off from school. Believe me I didn't like my senior year very much, the work was so hard and so constant. My parents were both out of the house for a few hours so I hooked up my Playstation 2 and decided to try out my new game Final Fantasy X-2.
The intro movie started easy enough but then the screen froze, though the music kept playing. I seemed to find myself getting kinda dizzy so I just shut the system down quickly and laid down for a little while. I was then having a dream that I was stuck in Final Fantasy X fighting Sin by myself and then I woke up.
Still in my living room. Though my PS2 was turned on. The screen then started to make this low humming noise. Foolishly I brought my ear right up against the screen and then the next thing that happened was I was on the ground. My TV was dead and it seemed my PS2 was facing the same fate. I cursed my rotten luck and decided to go for a little walk around the city. I had nothing else to do now that my game is fried. Getting my red backpack, gray and blue sneakers, and my CD player and some music I went out to go catch a bus to the museum. It was better than nothing.
The bus ride was painful. My head hurt from the electric shock I got and my vision was starting to get all blurry. I felt I should ask the driver to take me to a hospital or something. I wish I had. I stumbled off the bus and then in a blink I felt myself hit the ground. But instead of hitting concrete I hit a small bed of grass. Where did I go? You don't go from roads and sidewalks to this kind of place.
My head pounded and I felt like I was just beaten. I was still wearing my dark green cargo jeans, sneakers, and gray t-shirt. I looked around at the people around me and they looked so different compared to me. There was this giant moogle person handing out balloons to people. Somehow this all seemed familiar.
I paid no attention to the moogle person and began to walk into the heart of all the commotion. Overhearing some people it sounded like a big concert was being held. Now I know this looks familiar.
"Don't tell me........." I said to myself. I knew I was standing in Luca from the looks of everything. All the bridges and structures looked exactly like they did in the games. This concert must be for Yuna then. Or at least her imposter.
I continued down towards one of the docks and this is where my luck turned rotten. Nobody was around me and then suddenly I turned around and this large man stood in front of me. He wore this blue and purple set of robes with this strange hat thing, maybe it was a hood. His eyes were very slanted and they seemed to fit with his long face. In each hand however he carried two pistols. They were revolvers with long barrels and they looked powerful. He aimed the one in his right hand at my face.
"I suggest you leave. Lest you run into trouble little boy." He told me in a very intelligent voice. He sounded rather smart. Of course I wasn't too smart to act or anything right away.
"Don't you speak English? Leave." He told me raising his voice a little bit. Then I had this one idea. It was risky and I was sure I'd probably die but I decided to take it. I quickly reached to his left hand and took his other pistol from him and soon we were both pointing guns at one another.
"Hmmm. I suppose you are not as feeble as you look little boy." The man told me smirking slightly.
"You let your guard down on your left side. Just for future reference stay sharp no matter what." I told him.
"Thanks for the tip, but I don't need advice from you." He replied.
We must have stood there for around ten minutes or so just pointing our weapons at one another ready to pull the trigger. Then a voice sounded in the tall mans ear.
"Boys! They're coming, get into position!" a female voice rang. She sounded kinda bossy and mean but there was this certain something to her voice that made me a little attracted.
"I'm sorry but I must be going. I'll tell you what, if you give me my other gun back I'll let you live this time." He offered.
"Fine by me. I can't explain it but I have this certain respect for you now." I told him. I have no idea why but it's how I felt.
"As well you should little boy." He said as I turned the pistol around so the handle faced him. He took the firearm into his free hand and began to run down the way I was originally heading.
I waited a few minutes so he could get a head start and followed him. I heard what sounded liked fighting going on behind me. I caught a slight glimpse of this girl in black with this big sword cutting up these guys in green.
I kept running and eventually made it to the end of the dock. There was this large man standing like he was waiting for something. He was small but very large and had a purple outfit on that seemed to resemble to one that tall man wore. On this mans back was a large black shield. Unlike the tall man this short guy didn't seem to pay much attention to me.
Then he turned and went down the way I had come. I sat on the edge of the dock and stared into the ocean. Was I really in Spira? I couldn't believe some kind of electrical shock caused this to happen. Why couldn't I have been playing something like Final Fantasy 7 or some other kind of game?
I was quickly snapped out of my thought by the familiar sound of a woman yelling.
"Ugh! You two need lessons on how to fight! Those stupid Dullwings made a fool out of us!" she snapped.
I only saw her back. She wore this very loud purple dress and carried a fan in one hand. She had very short blonde hair and her body was nicely shaped.
"I'm sorry Boss. I'm losing my touch. First some kid gets the better of me and now three little girls do the same to Ormi and I." The tall man from before said kneeling to this woman. The large man was doing the same next to him.
"Some kid you say? Well maybe I should hire him instead of you two goons!" she screamed. Now I recognized her voice, she was the one talking to that tall man from before.
"Well he's standing right behind you Boss. Ask him yourself." The tall man told her. I felt scared now. I didn't want this lady to be yelling at me now.
She turned and saw me. I felt relief once I saw her expression change from an angry one to a gentle one.
"Hello there kid. Did you really do all Logos said you did?" she asked me in a kind of seductive voice.
"If that tall person is Logos than yes it is true." I was still nervous and kinda shaking a little too. She could tell and then she placed a hand on my shoulder which made me feel a little better.
"Hmm. Do you have anywhere you have to be?" she asked me.
"No. Why, I don't even know why I'm here in the first place." I told her looking at the ground as she placed on arm around me.
"Well how's about you come back to my chateau with me and we discuss something. I'm sure it will be worth your time." She offered.
I figured it would be a good idea. I had nowhere else to go in Spira so why not go with this woman. Better than wandering around.
"Oh how rude of me. That "tall man" is Logos and that small stupid looking guy is Ormi, and I'm the mighty LeBlanc! The leader of the LeBlanc Syndicate. Who are you?" she asked.
I didn't want to give her my real name for some reason. I was new in this world so I could basically start a new life for right now. I gave her a fake name, but let her know.
"I don't want to give out my real name so you can refer to me as Aeon." I told her.
"Aeon it is then!" she said as we headed to a boat.
Well that's the first chapter. I hope its pleasing to some of you. I'm trying a new idea out and hopefully the end product will be great. Review away people! You know you want to!
