Spira's Guardians

Chapter 1: New Beginnings

"Listen to my story"

"This is our last chance"

"The last hope of all rests on you"

These words echoed in my mind as slowly I began to wake up. Noticing that I was laying on something hard and not my normally soft mattress I opened my eyes. After looking around to get my bearings I realized that I had fallen asleep in front of my playstation playing Final Fantasy X, again.

"Damn, last time I stay up past midnight getting through Gagazet," I mutter as I look at my clock in the glow of my TV which read 7:30 AM. "Oh crap, I'm going to be late for school again" I say out loud as I begin to run around frantic trying to gather everything that I would need for the day. Okay let's see here Clothes check, Backpack check, homework check, lets go I think as I'm rushing downstairs past the Kitchen and thru the door.

Outside as I was rushed down the street on my way I noticed a moving truck had pulled into the house on the corner. "Well I guess that old house finally got sold after all." As I was looking a woman stepped out from the back of the truck, a woman wearing green khaki shorts and orange tee even though it was so cold outside.

"Hey kid, shouldn't you be running off to school or something right now," she yells at me with a wink as she grabs a box from the truck and heads inside.

Realizing I had been unintentionally staring at her due to her odd choice of clothing, and the fact that she was on the pretty side, I looked at my watch and noticed that I now only had eight minutes to go. "Oh crap, well I really hope the teacher is late in taking attendance today," I mutter as I rush the remaining way to the school.

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

"Finally school is over for the day, bout damn time too." I mutter while finally exiting the school and walking the short distance toward home. "Anyways I wonder what was with that chick this morning, seriously who wears shorts in this kind of weather."

"She cant help it she is to use to wearing shorts, anything else is just too uncomfortable," a boy states that I was just coming up on. A boy that seemed almost to have a fetish with purple, I mean come on purple sweatshirt, purple jogging pants, even purple shoes. "Besides she has been in much colder conditions in similar clothing choices." The kid continues unfazed by the fact that I had just kept walking and he had to almost jog to keep up.

"Let me ask you one question kid, just who the hell are you and why in hell are you telling me this?"

"Just follow me and all will be revealed, for it has at last begun again," the kid spoke as for a moment he seemed to get an odd almost malicious glint in his eye.

"If I follow you will you leave me alone after that?" I inquire gesturing for him to lead the way, which seemed to be in the same way I was heading anyways.

"No but I know you will follow me anyways, It is your destiny," he states as we come to the house that had the moving truck earlier. Once we get up to the front porch he just walked right thru the front door that was evidently unlocked.

"Hey Draco that you," I hear the voice of the woman from before call from another room.

"Yes its me and I brought him with me"

"Bout time I almost had everything unpacked and everyone else has gone exploring" the woman says as she steps into the room. "Oh by the way the names Rikku, so you are Silver thought I recognized you earlier."

"Um nice to meet you Rikku but the name is Marcus not Silver."

"Oh poopie, I forgot you change your name later," she states much to my confusion in this entire ordeal.

"Ok just hold a minute and just tell me what the hell is going on," I ask hoping to clear up things before they get any weirder.

"Alright we are characters from the game final fantasy 10 after the fact and discovered that there was a portal here that sent you there from here cuz you were actually there but aren't in the game cuz the makers are big poopie heads and forgot to put you in got it?" she states in a rather hurried but practiced way.

"Huh," was just about the only response I could come up with seeing as how I only caught about half the words and it was said in one breath.

"I told you I should have handled instructing him," Draco said in an amused tone. "Anyways let us try this again; you are to be sent back to Spira to save it because you were there the first time got it this time?"

"But it's just a game," I say more for the sake of argument then for a purpose.

"Then how are we here brudda, ya?" came a voice from behind me. Upon turning around a certain person with a familiar hairstyle came into my view. The weird thing was though his hair was brown not the familiar eye watering orange.

"Um okay are anymore of you going to just pop up," I ask hoping that the answer would be no.

"No ya, they are all too amazed at some place called Wal-Mart to be home anytime soon ya." Wakka informed me much to my amusement. I could just imagine the rest of the crew, especially Kimahri, walking the aisles of Wal-Mart. "Guess it is about time for you to be going though ya." He states as a blue swirling vortex appears in the middle of the room.

"This is it this is where your story begins," I hear Draco says as he pushes me into the vortex and into darkness amidst the goodbyes of the other two.

After he had disappeared Rikku gave one look at the two swords that had been hanging right behind him.

"Come back this time you big knucklehead," she whispers as the tears begin to trickle down her cheeks.
