Prologue: The Meeting of the Our Heroes
A crowd of people were waiting in line for a blitzball tournament. It was only a few minutes for the game to start. Suddenly, an adolescent teenage boy with blond hair and rather obscene clothes ran to the stadium. "Coming through, sorry!" the boy said in a hurry. A bunch of female fans surrounded him. "Hey!" he said. "Let go of me!" As he escaped the fans, he ran to the stadium and into the playing field. His name was Tidus, and he was the Star Player of the Zanarkand Abes, a blitzball team.
In another universe, there was an empty city with almost no people in sight. The people in the city had all gone for hiding in the civilian shelter. For a big black monster at least 50 stories high was attacking the city. Many rockets and missiles were fired at it, but the monster seemed to suffer no damage. Only a machine equal in size could combat it. In the city, there was another teenage boy with blackish hair and a white button down T-shirt waiting on a telephone.
"We're sorry," the phone answered, "but all normal lines are down to a special state of emergency." "It's no good," the boy said, "I knew I shouldn't have come here." He held up a picture of a young woman with long, black hair and looked as if she were in her twenties. "Looks like she didn't come...," he said. The boy's name was Shinji Ikari has he was the destined pilot for EVA-01, which he, himself didn't know.
Yes, both of these young people seemed to have a big future in front of them, Tidus being a famous sports idol and Shinji being the destined pilot of a giant purple death machine, but that's not what their stories are about.
It's about how they got switched.
In the blitzball stadium, water began to fill a circular dome. The game had begun and a blue ball had been flung into the spherical water structure. Tidus, fought for the ball and in a fast display of dives and kicks, helped get the upper hand on the team. An older man with a long red overcoat and glasses watched the game on the rooftops and from a distance. Tidus's team had the ball now, and as an enemy player tried to steal it, he managed to kick the player out of the dome. Other people who weren't watching the game were running away from a giant containment of water that was about to hit them. Tidus had the ball now, and as he leapt out of the water to kick the ball, he saw something in the distance. It looked like a giant watery demon figure with giant scales on it. He saw those scales detach from the monster's body and go attack the city. The giant water monster attacked the blitzball stadium with balls of energy and Tidus fell to the ground and hit the floor of the ruined Blitzball stadium.
As Tidus fled the broken stadium, he saw a familiar figure in a long red overcoat. "Auron!" Tidus shouted, "What are you doing here?" "I was waiting for you," the man said. "What are you talking about?" Tidus asked. Auron just casually walked away with the hundreds of other screaming people running away from the giant abomination.
Tidus began to follow him, but suddenly time stopped. All the civilians had stopped moving, everything was frozen in time, except for a little boy with a purple coat. Tidus looks around to see if anyone else was seeing this. "It begins." the little boy said. Suddenly, time came back again as well as all the fleeing people and the water demon.
It took a while for Tidus to catch up with Auron. "Hey, not this way!" The blonde teenage boy said to the older man. "Look!" Auron said to the confused Tidus. Tidus looked where Auron was looking and saw the demon in full view. "We called it 'Sin'," Auron said. The monster sent out a spawn of itself that Tidus saw earlier. It attached to a building and sent out miniature versions of itself from its body. The scales came down to attack Tidus and Auron. Tidus approached the Sinscales and tried to attack them but failed to looking like a complete loon in the process. Auron seeing the boy's failed attempt to attack the Sinscales gave Tidus a longsword. "Here," Auron said, "Take it." The boy held the sword and was clearly struggling to hold it up. "It was a gift from your father," Auron said. "My old man?" the inexperienced swords man said. "I hope you know how to use it," Auron said to Tidus.
Tidus and Auron faced the Sinscales, cutting and slicing their way through the weaker ones, Auron clearly being the more powerful one, and eventually making their way to the main source of the enemies. The Sinspawn attacked many times with the Devi spell and summoned a bunch of Sinscales, but Auron's new Bushido Overdrive abilities quickly got rid of the Sinspawn, defeating it causing many sparks to fly out of it.
The two went on ahead as hundreds more Sinscales came down to fight them. As the two cut sliced through a lot of the Sinscales, a power generator exploded causing the streets of Zanarkand to crumble apart. "Go," Auron said. Tidus and Auron got through many of the crumbling streets to eventually have Tidus cling onto a piece of derbis about to fly into Sin. "This is it," Auron said. "Tidus, this your story." Auron helped Tidus up the derbis. "It all begins here." "What are you talking about?" a doubtful Tidus said. But, before he could finish his sentence he was sucked into a portal inside of Sin. Auron noticed that Tidus had dropped his sword while going inside the portal, making it fall to the earth below. "Oh boy," Auron thought to himself, "I don't think this kid was the right choice."
