1. Prologue

Disclaimer/Info

I do not own Final Fantasy Ten or its characters I do however own four aeons and the blind summoner that gains Tidus, Rikku, Auron, and a very unique guardian which happens to be his first. My blind summoner befriends Yuna and the two summoners decide to pilgrimage together once the blind summoner receives Valefor from Besaid. The four new aeons that are of my own thoughts are based on four beloved animals I used to spend time with before their owner died and they had to be sold. These four aeons are based on three horses and a dog. The three horses are like the Magus Sisters aeon meaning they are summoned at one time and the three use team work to defeat what the summoner needs help with. The dog aeon is unique for she controls the element of darkness and cannot be dismissed forcefully by an enemy which is why my blind summoner summons her the most often. Unlike the other aeons my dog of darkness Fayth is not a human she is a female Ronso that was wounded a thousand years after Sin's creation and she willingly became a Fayth to help those in need of her abilities due to an illness from her wound. I will give a small back story of this Ronso sometime in the story. Except for the first two paragraphs in the prologue the story starts out like the game in the dream Zanarkand with Tidus playing Blitzball and Auron making his way to the stadium with Sin rising up from the sea. However after Tidus gets to Spira the story is nothing like the game meaning Tidus does not fall for Yuna and her guardians are not complete buffoons when it comes to Machina; also Wakka does not hate all Al Bhed just ones who think they are invincible. Since I mentioned my blind summoner getting an unlikely guardian I will give you a small hint on who or what it might be: think fur and no it is not a Ronso. The person who guesses it correctly gets a cake of their choice naturally a virtual one cause I can't make a cake worth a damn last one I tried to bake I had to trash 'cause it burnt to a crisp. Anyways one final detail on my tale is that the main couple is Tidus and my blind summoner aka guy on guy action so those who don't like get lost because your flames will be used for something productive like barbecuing my cousin for his constant irritations.

{blah} = Al Bhed

"blah" = spoken

'blah' = summoner speaking to aeon

~blah~ = dragon directly to mind

Prologue

Zanarkand

Tidus leaps from his bed breathing deeply from a nightmare about his father Jeckt. 'Damn it another one about my old man.' He thinks as he looks over at his clock. Upon seeing the time he squawks and hurriedly gets dressed and gathers his blitzball gear as he rushes out of his bedroom. Just before exiting his home he takes a moment to look at the photo of him and his parents before his dad disappeared and his mom died of heart break. A distant bong knocks Tidus from his short thoughts on his mother and he rushes out the door. Outside his home he takes a few short moments to hand out autographs and promises to teach some of his fans to blitz tomorrow since a voice behind him tells him 'you can't tonight.'

Half way to the stadium he runs past a billboard showing a hologram of his father which he scoffs at as he goes by. Once he reaches the stadium he dodges around more fans only getting delayed twice before he enters the building and heads to the Abes locker room. 'Sheesh being popular is tough work.' Tidus complains to himself but throws on a blinding smile as he walks into the locker room calling out greetings to his fellow teammates. "Hey Tidus want to go out for a victory drink after the game?" One of his teammates calls to him as he opens his locker. Tidus laughs and replies, "We have to win the game first dude." The team has a laugh while Tidus gets his blitz gear on and leaves the locker room to wait out on the sphere for the game to start like he always does.

Auron pauses at the edge of a small rock formation and lifts up his gourd letting small balls of light out to fly into the air. As he watches the lights a massive beast slowly raises out of the water just out of reach of the harbor lights. Auron looks over at the beast then turns to make his way to the blitzball stadium knowing the one he is to retrieve is there. As he walks towards his destination the beast slowly forms its body into a sphere and draws the water up as it forms creating a slow tidal wave that spreads outwards to submerge the city.

Tidus tackles an opponent sending him out into the crowd of spectators causing many to cheer. Tidus smirks and surges up, passing two of his teammates slapping hands, out of the sphere so he can do one of his signature kicks however just as he flips he sees a sight that has him losing focus. A massive ball in the distance shoots out rays of energy which destroys many buildings. As the destruction continues Tidus catches hold of the edge of the sphere holder but his hands slip due to still being wet from the blitz sphere. As he falls he cries out and hits the ruined floor of a stadium locker room. His fall renders him temporarily unconscious for a few moments.

While Tidus is out of it for a few moments Auron finally makes it to the blitzball stadium and calmly leans against a ruined wall to wait for his friend's son. As he waits he looks up into the sky and watches as the beast continues to destroy Zanarkand. After what seems like hours the one he is here for stumbles out of the doors nearly getting trampled over by a few people still running from the stadium. Auron straightens and walks forward gaining the boy's attention. "Auron?" He just grunts and looks back up to the beast drawing Tidus' gaze as well. "What is that?" The youth exclaims taking a step back. "We called it Sin." Auron says watching as Sinspawn are set loose over the city. Auron starts towards Sin saying to Tidus, "Come." The youth follows after but stops suddenly due to seeing a boy in the middle of the bridge. Tidus looks around as he notices everything around him is frozen. He looks back at the boy to see him gone and everything moves again. Tidus shakes his head and continues after Auron only to stop when Auron does. Tidus looks before them and sees a lot of things come falling onto the bridge. A few of the things split open revealing creepy looking plant things. "Fiends." Auron states pulling out a broad sword tossing it to Tidus saying, "A gift from Jeckt." Tidus looks at Auron in shock commenting, "My old man?"

A few hours later Auron and Tidus stop before another bridge that gets completely covered by fiends and the two fight a few of them before Auron calls out, "The truck! Attack the connector so it will blow the building!" Tidus focuses on the truck connector while Auron takes out the fiends that get near them or tries to attack Tidus. After a while the connector is destroyed and the tanker falls towards the ground exploding halfway causing the nearby building to fall over crushing the bridge. Auron and Tidus rush over the falling ruin. Just at the edge on the other side Tidus jumps but doesn't quite make it to solid ground and catches himself on a beam of metal sticking out of the bridge calling out for Auron to help him. Auron looks up at Sin and sees the portal and asks, "You are sure?" Getting his answer Auron reaches down and pulls Tidus up saying, "Now is your time. This is your Story." Once those words are stated Auron allows himself to be sucked up into the portal. Tidus follows screaming the whole time.

Baaj Temple Ruins

A few hours pass before Tidus regains consciousness and he jerks up. A sound has him looking around and he sees ruins with a few birds flying around. "Where am I?" The blonde looks around again to try and see if anything can tell him. As he looks at a flat, long piece of the ruins across from him something draws his attention to the center. He dives into the water and swims over to the ruin and climbs on. He makes his way over to the thing that caught his eye only to gasp and rush over. "Hey are you alright?" He asks as he kneels by the person. He watches the person move a bit until Tidus sees that the person is a male close to his age possibly younger. Before Tidus can do anything else a growl makes him look up and he comes face to face with vicious looking feline type fiend. "Um… nice kitty?" Tidus softly says slowly backing away from the other boy. Once at a distance the fiend deems worthy Tidus stops backing away and watches as the boy opens his eyes and coughs up some water. The fiend is instantly next to the boy helping him sit up. Tidus watches the boy clutch at the fiend as though it was a pet. "Kyota?" The fiend purrs a bit and Tidus sees that it calms the boy a bit. Tidus takes a cautious step towards the boy which has the fiend instantly watching him and he throws his arms up in surrender and stops moving. "Kyota, stop being mean. I'm sure the person won't hurt me." The boy says to the fiend. Tidus clears his throat and responds, "I won't hurt you. Though you do realize that you're clutching a fiend right?" The boy laughs softly and tries to stand only to fall back onto his butt. The fiend whines causing the boy to smile and hold out a hand for it. "I know Kyota is a coeurl but she's been tamed and since I needed her and my dad asked someone to find me a pet but no one could find a normal pet for me so a passing Crusader let me have her." Tidus blinks and asks, "Why would you need her?" The boy looks over at Tidus and the blonde sees jagged scars over both of his lavender eyes. "Oh, you're blind." Tidus says with a little sorrow. The boy smiles gently, "No need to be sad for my sake though I am grateful you are thinking about my feelings. I've been blind since I was four so I've gotten used to it." Tidus cautiously makes his way closer to the boy and introduces himself, "My name is Tidus." The boy nods and motions to the coeurl, "She's Kyota my guardian…" The boy pauses and reaches out towards Tidus causing the blonde to gently take his hand. "I'm Jaidon."

Tidus shakes Jaidon's hand and then helps the boy to stand with the coeurl keeping a close eye on him for any falseness to his promise. Once Tidus is sure Jaidon can stand without help he takes a step away and looks around again. "Hey Jaidon if I describe where we're at do you think you will know the place?" The blind boy cocks his head, much like a puppy would, creating a very cute display as he thinks aloud, "It's possible I might know this place." With that said Tidus follows through with his idea and describes the surroundings. Once finished Tidus looks at Jaidon as the boy uses the fiend to walk to the edge of the ruins they stand on. "If memory is correct I believe this was once a great temple called Baaj before it was destroyed in the Machina Wars that took place a thousand years ago. Of course I am not entirely certain if that is how this temple was destroyed as Sin could have done in sometime after that war." Tidus blinks and looks around again seeing a domed building in the distance. "Well, we'll catch a cold if we stay out here any longer. I think we should try to find an intact place to try and get warm and perhaps some sleep." Jaidon looks towards Tidus' voice and fidgets a bit before admitting, "I don't know how to swim." At his soft words Tidus looks over at Jaidon before looking at the coeurl. "Well if Kyota allows it I can carry you on my back while I swim." Jaidon closes his eyes for a long moment before he opens them and replies, "I think you're right we should find a dryer place to sleep for a bit." Kyota hearing her friend agreeing to the request whines in worry and nuzzles his hip causing Jaidon to smile down at his guardian. "I'm not sick Kyota just cold and wet." The coeurl looks at Tidus for a moment and then nudges Jaidon towards the blonde. Jaidon smiles a bit wider saying, "That would be her way saying you can carry me." Tidus just shakes his head and turns to the water and dives in resurfacing a moment later. "Just one question before I do that." Jaidon makes a continue sound and Tidus asks, "Can Kyota swim or is she like an actual cat and hates water?" Jaidon opens his mouth to answer but a splash causes him to laugh instead as Tidus squawks at getting a mouth full of water due to Kyota jumping into the water near him. The blonde sighs, "Never mind she just answered my question herself."

It took a few moments to get to the ruins Tidus had seen earlier but in the end the three were on solid ground again for a moment. Tidus looks around and groans before saying, "It looks like the only way to get in is through an opening in the wall under the water." Jaidon starts to respond when Kyota starts growling causing the boy to place a hand on her head. As he does so his touch shows him her focus is somewhere in front of them and this tells him that there are fiends up ahead. Jaidon reaches out his other hand as he feels Tidus is close by and grabs his shirt from the side causing said blonde to look over at his companion. "Jaidon?" The blind boy shivers a bit as a breeze hits them and says, "Kyota smells fiends up a head." Tidus tenses and pulls out his sword saying, "Don't worry if any try to harm you Kyota and I will protect you." Jaidon looks towards Tidus questioningly and the blonde places his hand on the hilt of his sword. "I have experience killing some fiends but not a lot, though that won't stop me from protecting you." The blind boy smiles gently and nods his understanding and requests, "Become my guardian? A summoner needs guardians when they pilgrimage to defeat Sin." Tidus blinks in shock and looks down at Kyota to see her reaction. The fiend just nods to confirm her that summoner is correct. "Okay I'll become your guardian but I must inform you I have no experience in being one." Jaidon just smiles and says, "Then you can learn as we travel Spira. That is if we are ever rescued from these ruins." Before Tidus can reply Kyota nudges Jaidon forwards giving the blind boy the all clear for now. As the trio walks the aerial walkway with Tidus in the lead Jaidon lets his thoughts wander inward to speak with his aeon. 'Sao, do you think I did the right thing asking this strange boy to be my guardian?' The aeon sends out a wave of comfort before her gentle voice responds, 'I believe he will be a very good guardian for you to have. By the way Anima is in this temple you have been abandoned at. She is in a lot of pain over her child's thirst for power.' Jaidon paused in his steps at this, 'Will she be okay?' Jaidon feels more comfort and Saorta's reply, 'She will be fine though she asks that a summoner come to use her strength later on in the future but for now she can wait.' Jaidon smiles sadly and replies, 'If I did not already have a darkness-based Aeon I would request her myself.' Saorta's soft chuckling comforts Jaidon a bit more but before he can get her reply a loud crack followed by a splash wrenches his attention back to the present. "Tidus, are you hurt?"

In the water Tidus resurfaces and calls up, "I'm fine but the path just crumbled so you might want to have Kyota jump in to make sure you don't drown as I take out the few fiends I see swimming towards me." Jaidon pats Kyota's head and the coeurl leaps into the water with Jaidon slowly descending after her. Once in the water Jaidon wraps his arms around Kyota's neck and she swims them to the hole Tidus saw earlier. "Tidus, be careful their might be a Sinspawn near by." Jaidon calls out to the battling blonde. Just as Tidus kills the second fiend and Jaidon's words reach him a giant fiend swims out of a near by nook and bit the last fiend in half before turning towards Tidus. "Damn! Kyota swim faster!" The coeurl looks back long enough to see the fiend chasing Tidus and surges forward causing Jaidon to quickly take a breath before he is forced under the water and through the hole. Inside Kyota pulls Jaidon to a dry area before laying down on him to help him warm up again. "Tidus!" Jaidon calls out just as the blonde zooms into the hole causing the fiend behind him to hit the wall making it collapse covering the hole. Tidus surfaces and looks back at the entrance and sighs, "Well we won't be leaving that way the damn Sinspawn caused the wall to collapse covering the hole." At his voice Jaidon sighs with relief before he hears the blonde swimming towards him. "Kyota is he hurt anywhere?" Tidus asks the coeurl which prompts the fiend to act and check the blind boy for injuries causing the two boys to laugh a bit. After a thorough check Kyota sits down by Jaidon and looks at Tidus. "I'll take that as he's not hurt." Tidus says walking out of the water and over to the blind summoner. With Kyota's help Tidus gets Jaidon to his feet and the three walk farther into the ruins coming to a stop in a large domed area. "Well someone must have been here at one point there is some firewood in the center." Tidus comments as he helps Jaidon to a spot close to the firewood before walking away. "I'm going to see if I can find anything to start a fire with." Jaidon makes a sound of understanding and buries his face in Kyota's fur letting his mind turn inward again. 'I never want to be near or hear water Sinspawn again.' Saorta sends a wave of comfort and asks, 'Are you hurt?' Jaidon smiles softly and replies, 'I'm fine Tidus had Kyota give me a thorough check over for injuries.' Saorta's soft laugh reaches him comforting Jaidon more and he comments, 'I think I should have a joint pilgrimage with another Summoner. That way we have twice the chance to finish off Sin for good.' Saorta chuckles again replying, 'Perhaps you will make friends with one but finding one is what you need to have happen first.' Jaidon sighs, 'I know.'

Four hours pass and Tidus jerks awake at hearing Jaidon's frightened cry. The blonde leaps to his feet and looks for the reason and finds it when he feels Kyota crash into him. Tidus gives an elixir to the coeurl before the two guardians fight the fiend that is attacking them. Just as Tidus is about to attack an explosion makes them all pause and Tidus turns to see a group of people come into the ruined building. "We have company Jaidon." Tidus says to his summoner before one of the people comes over and gets into a fighting stance making Tidus remember the fiend he and Kyota are supposed to be fighting. "Kyota go keep Jaidon warm." Tidus says to the coeurl and she instantly leaps over the fiend and lies down near Jaidon who wraps his arms around her. Now that Tidus knows his summoner is safer he focuses back on the fiend and with the help of the girl takes it down. Just as Tidus puts his sword away he hears Jaidon cry out again, "No!" The blonde looks over and sees one of the men pointing a weapon at Kyota. "You kill her and you gain a summoner's wrath." Tidus says darkly as he puts himself in between the weapon and Kyota. "This fiend was trained to be his eyes." The girl motions for the men to back off as she walks over. "You say the boy is a Summoner and that he needs this coeurl for sight?" Tidus just moves to the side and lets the girl see Jaidon. At the sight of jagged scars over the boy's eyes she understands. She tells her friends in her native tongue that the boy is a blind summoner and the fiend is one of his guardians. The men lower their weapons and make sounds of apology to Jaidon who is now standing beside Tidus gripping his shirt in one hand and gripping Kyota's fur in the other. "You're Al Bhed?" Jaidon's gentle voice asks and the girl replies, "Yes we are." Jaidon pulls on Tidus' shirt and the blonde leans over to listen, "They have a ship they might be able to take us to the nearest civilization." Tidus makes a sound of understanding and looks up at the girl and says, "Jaidon is being a bit shy and asks if you could take us to the nearest civilization." The girl thinks it over and then discusses the request with her friends. The group decides and she looks back to the trio and says, "We can take you but you'll have to do your share of the work as payment." Tidus nods his understanding and follows the Al Bhed leading Jaidon to their ship.
