I'm always playing Final fantasy X even though I've beaten it like a hundred times so I got to thinking to myself what if I got sucked into the world of Spira while playing the game on one fateful night. I have what you call an over active imagination so I just came up with this fan fiction for fun. Disclaimer: I don't own any of the FFX characters or any part of SquareEnix okay! LINKIN PARK ROCKS REMEMBER THAT IN 08
My mom tells me time and time again that I shouldn't put my feet on the TV stand if only I had of listened I wouldn't be in the trouble I am now. I wouldn't be stuck in this unusual place and my real body wouldn't be dead on the floor right now. Hold on let me start from the beginning.
I sat patiently on the couch as my mom introduced me to my punishment. My mom had gotten mad at me after I had gotten a C on my report card. My Raven black hair was framing my sixteen-year-old face I usually wore it in a bun but today I had it down. "Damn it, it was only a freaking C it's not like I got a D" I said to myself just loud enough for my mother to hear she glared at me.
"Staci Danielle did I just hear you curse" she said sternly as I tried to cover my slipup
"Oh no I said Dang mother, and I told you I hate my name why can't you just call me K-Chan like everyone else?"
"Because K-Chan is not what your grandfather named you," she said even more irritated. I let out a long low moan. The black skirt covered my knees keeping them warm while the rest of my legs shivered. I wore a white button up shirt like the ones you wear under a uniform or a suit, and a black pinstriped tie. My mother had wanted me to wear high heels but I protested that till the end so I worn a pair of black leather boots instead.
When she was done lecturing me I retired to my room I wanted nothing more than to play video games and to seclude myself from the world once again in the land of Spira. We had a spare room that my friend had been staying in but I was surprised my mother had even let her stay because of my report card.
It began to storm as I plugged in my controller thunder rattled my room there was a soft knock at my door I took off my headphones and approached the door I cracked it slowly seeing who had disturbed my seclusion. If your guessing it was my friend you are correct. I looked at her concern was etched onto her small pale face she knew when I was angry because it just radiated through out the air. She was already in her pajamas her hair tied in a pigtails and goggles on her forehead
"K-Chan are you goanna be alright."
"Yeah I'll manage. Remind me never to hide my report card again" I said with a smirk "you want to play video games with me?" I asked as nicely as possible she nodded and I opened the door enough for her to get into the room. I continued on with what I was doing carefully opening the case to a game that I had cherished with all my heart Final fantasy X. I inserted it into the slot making sure not to scratch the disk. My heart raced as I started a new game it hammered loudly as I defeated the first boss, Tidus had mild damage and Auron had none. I placed my feet on the TV stand rocking it slightly.
"Maybe you shouldn't put your feet on the TV screen." My friend known as Alex commented to me I stuck my tongue out at her and continued with what I was doing.
I watched the cut- scene commence where Sin had been just about to transport Tidus. I screamed in horror as I lost my balance in my chair my feet were very much still planted on the TV stand. The TV rocked back and forth threatening to topple over. I rubbed my ass that had just suffered a painful blow from the hard wood floor. I looked up just in time to see the TV come tumbling my way; the boom of the thunder blocked my shrill scream out. Alex tried to pull me out of the way but it was too late the TV came crashing down on both our heads. Everything went black 'am I dead was I in heaven or hell I thought grimly.'
"Hey! Hey!" I heard someone swallow hard then a familiar voice began speaking again. "Are you… dead?" it said weakly.
"Nooo… I'm not dead, ow my head is killing me" I replied grumpily and held my head in my hands.
"Do you know where we are?" he asked. My eyes shot open at those words
"What do you mean where are we aren't I in my room?" I replied almost hysterically. I looked around panicking "where am I?" I asked my self then I looked to my companion my mouth dropped in disbelief it was Tidus from Final fantasy.
"Well apparently we're not in your room" he replied for comic relief.
"Oh this is not even happening, I must be dead or something or maybe in a coma like in .Hack"
".Hack?"
"Never mind" I replied satisfied with my resolve.
"So who are you?" he finally asked.
"Since this is only a dream there's no harm in telling you … my name is Staci but you can call me K-Chan."
"Alright K-Chan I'm Tidus" my friend was left forgotten about
"Yeah I know star of the Zanarkand abes."
"Huh! Are you from Zanarkand?" he asked enthusiastically
"In a way I am but in a way I'm not" he looked at me puzzled.
"Well great in anyway that means I'm not alone in this strange place care to join me." He offered his hand to me reluctantly I took it "oh no I thought to my self this is real I would have woken up by now!" I let out a small yelp he smiled at me it was a cocky smile I grimaced at it.
"Hey do you think you could pinch me?"
"Yes but why?" he replied.
"Just do it" I pleaded. He did and I let out yet another small whimper "Oh my god this isn't a dream I'm really here." I became silent
"Where else would you be?" I didn't answer but continued walking with him, I was too frightened to remember that we were about to land ourselves in a heap of trouble. "So do you play Blitzball?" he made small conversation with me.
"No but I would love to learn."
"I can teach you if you want." I nodded but then was startled as the ground underneath us began to shake and crumble away, we began to run forward but the more we'd run the weaker the ground got until it totally collapsed. We found ourselves in a small pool of water. I smacked my forehead why didn't I remember that this was to come.
"You okay?"
"Yeah I'm just remembering where this place is it's called the Baaj temple and we are… about to be attacked."
"How do you know?" he replied in a quizzical voice.
"I JUST DO!" the panic was setting in my voice
"So do you know how to swim?"
"You've got to be kidding me! I knew I should have paid attention to the gym teacher when she was teaching us how to swim… I regret to say I can't swim all that good."
"I can help you in that department, how about fight?"
"Now that's something I can do, I think it paid off learning all of Xioayu's moves in real life, I've beaten up lots of people so when it comes to fighting then I can help you there, but I don't really have a weapon besides my arms and legs."
"Good enough."
"Oh yeah almost forgot first these three little fishy things called Sahuagin are going to attack us then a big fish Geosgaeno, the Sahuagin are easy to defeat but Geosgaeno is goanna try to eat us."
"How do you know all of this?"
"I've played this game many a time." I spurted out but then quickly covered my mouth.
"What do you mean game?" He cocked his head to the side; I couldn't help but to think how cute he was when he was clueless.
"Uh…. oh nothing I think I just got hit on the head too hard." I lied rather badly and he could tell and decided to say something but was cut off when a Sahuagin jumped out of the water and headed directly towards us. I was actually quite thankful that it did because I didn't exactly feel like being asked a whole bunch of questions right now. I took a large breath as we both dove under, I struggled to keep up with Tidus having a phobia of water wasn't helping me too much either. Tidus struck the First Sahuagin then I beckoned for him to toss me his sword he did so and I finished off the first one. Before I could even return to my previous spot I felt my self being struck and a sense of pain came over my entire body, if this was how it was to be struck in a random battle I definitely did not want to be in a boss battle. I tossed Tidus his sword back to him and the pain was now subsiding but not completely we continued tossing the sword back and forth until there was only one left. I pulled on his arm beckoning to get him to follow me before Geosgaeno attacked but he did not yield to my request until it was too late. It only took two hits from the usual three for it to decide to eat us. I swam for dear life I had lived too long to be eaten by some video game monster. I knew exactly where I was going but it was somewhat hard to concentrate when you have something behind you that thinks your soft flesh would be lovely to eat. My glasses pealed off my face I reached for them but the Geosgaeno creature sucked them in, I tried desperately to swim after them but I felt my arm being pulled into the entrance. He pulled me up onto the stairs into his arms I laid on top of him my head on his chest panting wildly.
"What…. do you…think you were doing back there? Were you trying to get eaten?" He managed to get out.
"My glasses I can't see without my glasses." I flushed a slight red as I saw that I was on top of him and that his arms were firmly rapped around me.
"Oh sorry." He said looking away and loosening his grasp on me so I could wriggle free. I thought to myself "since I'm stuck in this game I should have at least a little fun with it."
"So how did you know that Geosga-thingy was goanna attack us?"
"Um let's just say I know stuff about this world you might not believe me about."
"Try me and what did you mean this is all a game?"
"Well I think this is a dream because you can't be real you're from a game I know and love. Monsters like that aren't real they exists only in our imaginations although I may be feeling the pain it could all be part of my imagination." he looked at me as if I had just revealed that I was actually a man in women's clothing
"So you're saying I'm not a real living person I'm just some fantasy that was created to be put in a situation like this." He seemed to tune all the other things that I said out.
"Exactly!"
"That's not possible you couldn't be here if it was fake."
"I knew you wouldn't believe me if I tried to tell you the truth."
"I believe to some extent I must admit that I haven't given up on the whole game idea." He smiled at me
"God for an annoying little vilg he can be kind of cute." I whispered to myself.
"What was that?"
"N-nothing" I lied
"Well any way it's kind of cold I'm going to find something to kindle a fire with"
"Wait don't leave me alone I want to come too."
"I thought you said you couldn't see without your glasses?"
"Yeah but I don't want to be left alone in this scary place."
"Just stay here if there's anything out there I don't think I would be able to protect you its probably safer here." He said calmly "I'll go find it by myself" I'm guessing that was one of those I can do it without the help of a female moments. With that he set off to the other parts of Baaj temple. I sat there shivering cold wet and hungry.
"I wish I had a pair of glasses." I heard a faint clicking sound something had fallen to the ground I looked down and there right before me were a pair of new unscathed sunglasses like the ones Auron wore I wiped them off on my shirt and put them on they were perfect they were just right for my weak eyes. I ran off gaily to explore, my back was still in a horrendous amount of pain, but I tried to ignore it. I checked the rooms for some potions and Gil I found some and I found the flint. I heard someone calling me.
"K-Chan where are you?" I ran back to the room where we had previously been "Oh there you are where'd you go? I thought you couldn't see? Where'd you get those glasses?"
"Well to answer your first question I didn't want to be alone so I went to go find you, for your second question I found these glasses to wear and third I heard these fall to the floor so I picked them up, wiped them off and wore them so that pretty much answers all of your questions."
"Where did they come from?"
"I have no idea."
"Well any way I couldn't find anything to set this on fire with so I guess we're out of luck." He held out some dry out old flowers. I went digging through my pockets for a second then pulled out the flint that I had found. I handed it to him "there you go that should work." I said to him with a smile. I was kind of happy that I wasn't home right now because I'd rather be dreaming of someplace I knew would make me happy. I smiled at him; he noticed this and smiled back.
"You know I'm sorry if I've been mean and all, but waking up in this weird place is not exactly my idea of getting away from it all."
"Oh no I get what you mean and forgive me to I was a little sarcastic at times because we're in the same predicament." He smiled at me sweetly and nodded. "AH! There we go," he said as the flame finally lit. I huddled around the fire trying to dry off my poor wet torn clothes, there was a large bloodstain on my back and the blood continued to flow but I hardly noticed. Tidus looked at me with concerned I knitted my eyebrows wondering what he was staring at.
"You're bleeding all over the floor."
"Huh oh! Yeah." I said dumbly I hadn't even noticed
"Here." He took the cork off of a bottle that contained a green juice with his teeth. He handed it to me "Drink that it will make the bleeding stop." I drunk it, it was sweet at first but after a while it got kind of bitter, as the liquid flowed down my throat it stung like alcohol "You liked that?"
"Yeah it was rather good." I replied sarcastically
"Oh really"
"No that was horrible it tasted like crap."
"Yeah." He laughed; I noticed he was looking at me funny the way I had seen him looking at Yuna before it was weird very weird because it was rather loving. I smiled at him and looked to the fire.
"You know I'm rather sleepy so I guess I'll take a nap or something."
"Yeah me too." He replied. Despite the fact that I knew we were about to be attacked I went to sleep rather easily I guess the lack of sleep and fighting could tire anyone out even me. You know what was really weird was the fact that I kept hearing voices in my head. It was say things to me that didn't make sense it was talking in riddles. It was a rather raspy voice but gentle too.
"Hey K-Chan I have willed you your wish to come here for a purpose. I will help you along your journey all you must do is keep an eye on my son for a while. You can do anything you want you have the power I'm not the one granting your wishes it is out of your own will that things come true for you. You must remain strong and keep things together. You have the power you can summon, this is his and your story the way you make decisions changes the outcome so make the right choices. This shall be your weapon use it wisely young Summoner." When I awoke a large long sharp sword laid beside me I grasped the hilt of it for some strange reason it reminded me of Sephiroth. "Use it wisely Summoner." Those words rung in my head. I looked over to the young blonde whom I had become acquainted with in a short amount of time he was frantically trying to revive the dying fire.
"Oh come on don't die on me just stay there I'll be right back."
"Hey wait…" I said getting up
"Huh what?"
"We're about to be attacked soon very soon I wouldn't recommend leaving me here to fend for myself."
"How do you know?"
"I just know these things trust me okay." He nodded and as soon as I predicted the fiend came scurrying across the walls with lightning speed. Tidus looked at me confusion etched into his boyish features but I just smiled at him as I mouthed the words 'trust me' to him he nodded to me and I took up my fighting stance one that looked just like Sephiroth's.
"Where did you get that sword?"
"I don't rightly know I was just wishing for a weapon and it appeared it's really weird you know." I said as I took turns striking the monster it wouldn't die its like every attack we did had no affect on it while it's attacks were damaging us quite badly. I had totally forgotten about the Albhed until I heard a large blast it was then I knew that they had made their entrance. The one who I knew to be Rikku approached us and began attacking the monster.
"You're on our side cool."
"T don't trust her"
"Why she seems harmless to me I mean anyone who would help us seems nice enough."
"Just trust me on this okay; I know a lot of things about this world although I don't come from here."
"Where do you come from?"
"Lets talk about that another time I'm kind of preoccupied at the moment" I said as I dodged one of the monster's attacks. It didn't take long before we extinguished the monster and it burst into multicolored pyreflies and disappeared into the musty air of Baaj temple. At that moment more Albhed came in Rikku's crew I supposed, they surrounded us poking us with their weapons deciding whether to kill us or not
What are they? Are they fiends?
No they look human
Fiends that look human what sort of Yevon trickery is this
Wait what if they are human? replied Rikku
Human Yevonite they're all the same, dogs.
I forbid you from doing this Rikku piped up
Please listen to what she's saying I said getting my word in we are not fiends we are human please we are not Yevonites we are merely victims of sin's attack on our homes
They looked at me with astonishment on their faces surely they would see that I was not lying no Yevonite would take the time to learn an Al bhed language.
"Tidus watch out!" it was too late before he could even do anything Rikku punched him in the stomach.
I heard E's cunno before there was a sharp pain in the back of my head and the edges of my vision began to go black. I felt the floor come crashing up towards my face. When I awoke I found myself on the Al bhed ship my head in extreme pain Tidus there with me already awake.
"I'm glad your awake I was starting to worry."
"Sorry about that they hit me in the head, hard."
"There are a lot of questions I want to ask you for instance…" I placed my hand to his lips to stopping him from going any further.
"Yeah I know there's a lot of things you want to know about me but lets take this slowly one question at a time okay?" he nodded and I removed my hand from his lips
"For starters where do you come from?"
"I certainly don't come from this world; my world is sort of like yours full of technology, it's advanced not backwater or anything."
"How do you know some much about this world then?"
"As I tried to explain before this is all just a game to me I mean come on what world would have monsters that roam about attacking people."
"You mean where you come from there are no monsters just people?"
"Well there are animals but no monsters that attack you and things like that."
"How did you know that language they were speaking?"
"Oh that's the easiest language in the world all you do is pick a letter to represent another letter like VF or OY, UO, and IU, do you understand." His face was inches away from mine from what I was guessing he was listening intently, he nodded to my question.
"Uhhhh!"
"What!?" he asked panicked by the sound I just made.
"You're in my safety zone."
"Oh…wait what?" he scratched the back of my head.
"YOU'RE-IN-MY-SAFETY-ZONE."
"And that would mean?" he asked clearly confused by my choice of words.
"You're a little to close for my comfort I mean you're shoving your nose right in my face man."
"Oh uh sorry about that." he put some space in between us his face was flushed a deep crimson out of embarrassment.
"That's okay T at least your not this one guy I know I mean the dude has scared the crap out of me since I was in 9th grade and he does this stuff on purpose." I started rambling on about him but T didn't seem to care he listened intently. I suddenly stopped when the door leading to the lower deck of the Albhed ship opened and a group of Albhed following Rikku stepped out. What appeared to be the leader approached us.
If you work for us we will allow you to stay on this shiphe pointed towards the ocean I knew exactly what he wanted, they were going to reanimate that air ship that had long since been in the ocean.
He will work but I cannot he cocked his head to the side I knew he hadn't expected me to answer back in Albhed.
Oh and why is that?
Because… I trailed off a bit
Well?
I can't swim so if I was to work I'd drown and you'd be responsible for my death although I doubt you'd care even though I myself am not a Yevonite.
Very well…
"T, he agreed to let us stay…on one condition though…you've got to work."
"What do you mean work?"
"Labor…but don't worry its nothing hard fight a few fiends and press a few buttons don't worry about it."
"But I don't want to…" He whined how undeniably cute he was when he whined.
"Please they'll kick us off if you don't, and who knows how far land is away from here and how many monsters there are in the water that'll try and eat us."
"Uh…"
"Please…" I clasped my hands together and gave him "The Face" the thing that always got me what I wanted pouty lip and big eyes if this didn't work nothing would.
"Well okay."
"Yeah!" I exclaimed jumping about like a hyperactive child.
He'll do it
Good we'll start when he's ready
"Any Time your ready T"
"Yeah…yeah" He waved his hand at me dismissively and smiled. 'I can't believe she talked me into to this all because of a cute little face that she had to give me oh geez.'
"Tell them I'm ready"
He's ready brother He looked at me oddly 'I think I just goofed up'
That's funny I don't remember telling you my name
Yes but who wouldn't be familiar with the son of the leader of the Albhed
Are you Albhed? It's true my eyes were green but there was no swirl only a pupil. He leaned into my "Safety Zone" and stared into my eyes I was under much scrutiny at the time.
Half yes I could very well pass for a half Albhed my eyes being green I being able to speak the language and being very good with technology.
I see
Don't mind him interjected Rikku He can get a little suspicious at times but don't take offense
I'll keep that in mind
I turned towards Tidus "What was that all about?" he asked curiously cocking his head to the side.
"They were becoming suspicious as to why I knew how to speak Albhed."
"Albhed?"
"Yes Albhed is that language I told you about"
"Oh"
"Carry on then T"
"The quicker YOU get this done the less you'll have to worry about it." I pushed him just a bit trying to nudge him towards the edge of the ship just a bit.
"Okay sheesh don't have a cow K-Chan. I'm going I'm going" He started with a long slow stride before diving off the side of the Albhed ship. He waved to me as he surfaced I waved back 'wait a second why are we waving at each other?' there was a smile plastered on my face as I waved at him mindlessly.
"Can I stop waving now T?"
"Sure anytime…"
"Good my arm is tired." I stopped the perpetual motion of my arm and dropped it to my side as I watched Tidus and Rikku descend into the deep depths of the Spiraian Ocean. 'What was with all that waving I mean it's pointless I'll see him again right?'
'Yeah you'll see him again alright and you're going to stick with him too'
'That voice again?"
'You got a problem with me?'
'No no it's not that but why are you in my head?'
'Cant I give a girl advice? Especially since I need you and your little friend.'
'My friend? Wait Alex…Alex is here too!?'
'Yep I wanted you to feel at home so I brought one of your companions too.'
'Who are you?'
'Isn't it obvious?'
'Wait you're Sin aren't you oh…I thought your voice sounded familiar I just couldn't place who it was.'
'You know you should really concentrate on trying to act normal the people around you are giving strange looks.'
'You can see me? Why cant I see you?'
'Question is would you want to see me? I can only control myself to some extent, I'm close though very close.'
'Yeah I know your going to attack soon…'
'If you know this then why don't you warn someone?'
'Well if I do that then we will never find Yuna, and plus who would believe me anyway'
'You do have a point.'
'We do have to find Yuna don't we I mean she' s the key to it all.'
'Not exactly there's more than one key element to a story.'
'Wow that's something I though Auron would say not Jecht.'
