Chapter 1
A Fiend?! Where?
I threw my PS2 controller at the T.V screen and a loud clack sound can be heard. Man, why is Yu Yevon so ANNOYING?! He keeps on healing himself! Hmmm, maybe cuz Tidus and the others are weak...yeah, probably.
Oh yeah, hey guys, the name's Will Priston. And I've been trying to beat Yu Yevon starting from 12:00 p.m. Yeah, I'm pretty desperate to see the ending of the game. I'm just laying on my bed stomach first, only wearing a white t-shirt and black boxers. Shut up about my clothing, it's easier to relax in them.
And you know what time it is? 1:50 a.m in the morning! Ah...sleepy. I'll just stop playing for the night and just...sleep. I got up from my bed, turned off the PS2 system, and went back to my bed. Oh yeah, forgot to tell you, the room was already dark, so no need to turn off the light switch. Yay!
But when I closed my eyes, my entire body started to feel fuzzy. What the, am I getting an out of body experience! Sweet, I always wanted to do that! But when I tried to open my eyes, I couldn't. My eyelids felt like it was stitched together really tightly. Suddenly, my mind started to sway and fuzz dangerously, and my mind then blanked. I wasn't even able to open my mouth at that time!
Once I came to, I felt a cool breeze sweep over my body. My entire body still felt fuzzy, but I knew I was alive. That's good. I opened my eyes, and a bright stream of sunlight blinded me. I had to visor my face with my arm to stop myself from getting REALLY blind.
Looking around, I saw myself on some kind of sandy beach, with palm trees scattered on certain locations. Rocks were jutting out from cliffs near the clear, blue ocean. There was no need to ask for where I was. I knew I was at Besaid. Well, the beach part. But how?
"Hey kid, wake up. Did you get a nice nap?"
I looked up and saw a man in a white cloak. His face wasn't concealed, so I could see his entire facial features. He had peach colored skin, had shaved his mustache and beard, and had a sharp nose. His eyes were black like coal, and they looked kinda spooky. His mouth was in a form of a smile, and he had red hair that spikes all over the place. His hand was outstretched towards me.
I took his hand and I got up. "Um, excuse me, but how did I get here?" The man raised an eyebrow at my question.
"Kid...you were laying there for 7 hours. I was just patrolling around here, and I thought you were just sleeping or something, so I didn't want to wake you. But when I came back, you were still there. You know it's dangerous here? Fiends are said to be located around the beach frequently these days."
I looked at him and scratched my head. "Uhhhh...what time is it? For some reason, it doesn't look like I slept long."
The man looked up to the sun. Dunno how he could stare that long. "It's already 8:50 a.m."
I looked at him with a shocked look on my face. "W-what?! It's 8:50 a.m?! Damn...how do I get out of here?!" I ran off out of the beach into some kind of forest path. Great, I was just at home, just going to sleep, and now I'm here, in the game of FFX. THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!
I turned a corner and suddenly...I was stuck. Right below me was a huge expanse of water. I guess I'm standing on a cliff. A very easy to fall off cliff. Isn't this where...Tidus fell off from when Wakka pushed him? And do I hear growling? When I turned around, I saw 4 brown colored wolves jump out from some rock outcroppings. Um...I think they're Dingos? Wait, those are fiends?!
I stepped back a little, and the Dingos, in unison, stepped forward, slowly creeping towards me. Then, all of them pounced towards me, when a white blur sent them back. Right in front of me was the white cloaked man. Wow, he's pretty buff.
"Kid, what the HELL were you thinking?! I told you that fiends are running amok around here! Kids these days."
The white cloaked man raised his left arm forward, and suddenly a ripping sound can be heard. His left arm suddenly turned black, and black-colored fire suddenly spewed from his entire left arm. His left hand suddenly turned into a very HUGE, flaming claw. Okay...what's happening here?
The white cloaked man ran towards 1 Dingo, and slashed downwards, burning the Dingo up into bones. 2 Dingos pounced to his side, but the white cloaked man executed a circular slash, slashing off both the Dingo's faces. The last Dingo was on a boulder, that was in front of the white cloaked man, and jumped right on top of him. But the man looked prepared. He did a back flip kicking the Dingo on the chin, and then raised his right palm towards the Dingo.
"Let's just finish this, Firaga!" A huge ball of fire was released from the man's palm, and the Dingo, mysteriously blew up in a huge ball of flames. The man then landed on his feet, completing his back flip and turned to look at me.
"You know, you're a very stupid kid." An anime sweat drop dripped from my head.
"Wha-what the hell are you talking about?!" The man slammed his fist on my head, making me lose consciousness.
--
"GAAH!!" Let go you stranger! HELP! HEEELP! I'M BEING RA-" BAM!
The white cloaked man, who I'm starting to despise, smacked me in the face.
"Kid, seriously, just shut up and follow me." FOLLOW HIM?! He's dragging me by the hair!
"If you let go of my hair, I think I'll be able to follow you a couple steps!" The man humphed and let go, letting me tend to my poor hair. Yeah, I have short hair, but how can he grab it?
"Kid..."
"The name's Will Priston." The man sighed.
"Will, you have to be more careful. Fiends are..."
"I KNOW. Fiends are all over the place, you've said that tons of times already." The man smirked.
"Then you shouldn't need me to tell you more than that."
The man started to walk, and I followed. There's actually many questions filling in my mind. How did I get here? Why am I here? Is this place real, or am I in a dream? But it can't be a dream, everything feels so real! Grr, I should just go with the flow for now. But if I find a chance to get out, I should take it.
"Um, hey old man, what's your name?" I think I sense him tensing up.
"I'm...not...old. And the name's Movaak Tolim." Silence soon followed. I'm guessing we're going to Besaid Village, but does it really take that long?
Looking around, I soon found out that we're going across some wooden bridge that was near a waterfall. The waterfall actually looked pretty cool.
"Um, Movaak, I just noticed, but what's with your left arm?" Movaak stopped walking, and turned his head just a little so that I could just see his eye.
"My left arm? Eh, it's just something that I received when I was experimented with a fiend." What the...he can't mean.
"Wait, you're married with some kind of fiend?" My answer was a smack in the face with his fist.
"ARE YOU DAMN CRAZY!? NO, I was fused with a fiend. Actually, with a Fire elemental fiend called a Puroboros." What the...wasn't a Puroboros' color orange? Why is his arm black then?
Movaak chuckled. "I know what you're thinking. Why, the color is different. I know that. The experimenters think this is a special incident."
Wow. I've never heard of such a thing. Humans being fused together with fiends? To gain new powers? In the game, this NEVER happened.
"Does the fusion process hurt?" Movaak looked at his left arm, which was in its normal, human form.
"No, not really. It just feels like you're in an out of body experience." Wait just a minute. Did he just say...out of body experience?
"WHA?! Hey Movaak, you know when I was sleeping at the beach?" Movaak nodded. "I think I had an out of body experience before I woke up to this place."
Movaak turned around completely to face me, and had a look of surprise on his face. "Are you joking with me? So, do you have any powers?" I scratched my head.
"Ehe, I don't have a single clue. But I doubt I have any powers. I mean, I'm just human." Movaak nodded and turned around to start walking again. I didn't know it just then, but I felt a searing pain on my cheek. When I touched it, I saw blood. Looking forward, Movaak wasn't there.
"Take this Will!" I blindly rolled forward, and luckily dodged a swift slash that WOULD'VE cut my head off.
"Movaak, what are you doing?!" Movaak had his left arm turned black once again, black fire spewing profusely.
"I'm gonna try making you release your fiend power. If you don't have it then...I'll stop." He has to be crazy.
"Hey, I don't have any "fiend" powers!" I'm guessing Movaak didn't hear me, cuz he's now running towards me, without a single trace of emotion on his face.
He did a horizontal slash towards my head, but I bent back really far, which resulted on me falling on my back. Movaak quickly jump spinned and slammed his clawed fist to my stomach. The punch was so strong, I was on the brink of losing all the oxygen I had in my lungs. And not to mention, his left arm feels really hot, like really steamy ramen soup.
"GAH!" I quickly punched Movaak's face with my right arm, but I missed and instead punched his ear. He didn't even flinch! Well, I'm not much of a fighter anyways.
"Sorry Will, but before we get to Besaid Village, I'm gonna have to see your power. Now SHOW ME!!"
"Grr, I...DON'T...HAVE ANYYYY!!" I closed my eyes and raised my right arm. And then, something strange happened. It felt like my right shoulder was sliced off, and replaced by...something else. And then I felt some kind of force push against my...forearm? When I opened my eyes, to my amazement, my right arm changed.
My right arm was covered layer over layer of rocky plated armor. My hand was VERY strange. I didn't have any fingers, instead there was a single, 5 foot long scythe-like blade that protruded from my "supposed" middle finger. The blade was colored dark red. The blade was connected with Movaak's claw.
"Will, you liar! You do have some kind of fiend's power!" I looked at Movaak, and then back at my arm. It's pay back time.
"Well, we're in a battle right now, Movaak. Let's finish this." I don't even know if I can beat Movaak. I mean, I've never been in a fight before. I was usually the quiet or peacemaking type, not the fighting type. Aw well, I'm in Spira, may as well learn how to fight. But this is just crazy!
Movaak sneered, and reverted his black claw arm into a normal human arm. "Nah, it's okay Will. All I wanted to see was your power. And I think my mission was...fruitful."
My eyebrows raised. "Wait...your mission?"
Movaak smiled. "I'll fill you in when we get to Besaid Village." So both me and Movaak walked all the way towards Besaid Village. And let me tell you, it was SMALL.
There were only 3 tents on both sides of the village walls, and a big, white temple at the farthest side of the village gate. Men, women and children walked about, chatting and talking. It looks like they're having a good time. For some reason, I saw a treasure chest near the village gate that was already opened. I wonder who opened it.
Movaak led me to a blue tent on the farthest left side of the village. When we went inside, there weren't many people. There was only a red headed man on a chair and across from him was a dark skinned man. They both wore what looked like battle vests and pants. Must be warriors.
"Well, this place is the Crusader's tent, which is located in the Besaid Village. Many Crusaders here are determined to help protect and save villagers from fiend attacks and Sin."
Hmmm, the game already explained that. The red-headed man was Luzzu, and the dark-skinned one was Gatta.
The red-headed man, Luzzu got up from his seat and extended a hand towards me. I grabbed his hand and we both shook.
"Hey, the name's Luzzu, and this here is..."
"I-I'm Gatta! I'm working under Captain Luzzu, the greatest Crusader of all!" Luzzu chuckled and looked at me sheepishly.
"Heh, he says that a lot, do not worry. You'll get over his constant compliments in no time." I didn't get it, but meh, they're not my problem.
Around this tent, there was a couple beds, a table with several chairs that was already being seated by Gatta and Luzzu, a front desk type thing, and some kind of weird computer.
"Will, follow me." I saw Movaak near the computer thing, and pressed some buttons. All of a sudden, I heard a whirring sound, and near the table was a door that opened from the ground. The stairs went down to...someplace. I wonder...
"Okay, let's go Will." I nodded and followed Movaak down the trapdoor. While going down, I heard a lot of chattering going on, like there's a ton of people talking. A bright light can be seen at the end of the stairs.
When we got to our destination, I was shocked. This place was DEFINITELY not in the game. The place was a huge laboratory. There were many people in white suits working on computers and checking out some huge, cylindrical tubes filled with...fiends? Me and Movaak continued walking past these scientists and then we came upon a door. A solid, iron door. Movaak knocked 5 times, and immediately the door was opened by an older man.
This guy had on the same white suits as the others, but he had 2 black stripes that went across his chest. I guess he's a superior.
"Ah, Movaak, good to see you! Come on in! You too new guy!" The scientist beckoned us to come in, and soon we were sitting on these comfy chairs, drinking barley tea. Mmmm, my favorite.
The room was kind of bare, there were comfy looking chairs that was tucked into an iron looking table. And there was also a shelf in a corner of the room filled with books.
The scientist had a cleanly shaved face, but his nose and eyes were small. His hair was slicked back and looked really oily. And this guy smiles a lot.
"Hello son, my name's Zelferd Sinks. What's yours?" Zelferd Sinks? That's the dumbest name I've ever heard. Ah well, my name kinda sounds weird as well.
"The name's Will Priston." Zelferd scratched his chin.
"Hm, well, I've got a report that you have some power that's related to a fiend?" I looked to my right, which was where Movaak was seated, and shrugged. "Well then, I've ALSO heard that you didn't fuse with any fiends, you just came here...with a fiend already fused in you. Is that true?"
I didn't just come here. I was warped here. But I can't say that, they wouldn't even believe me. I'll just say it when the time is right. Which is now, right?
"I...I guess." Zelferd nodded.
"Okay, follow me." Zelferd got up from his chair and we watched as he moved the shelf. Behind the shelf was actually a wooden door marked "DANGEROUS" in black, bold letters. Zelferd pushed the door aside, and beckoned us to follow. The door was more like a tunnel, a very short tunnel.
"So Movaak, wanna explain to me about the mission you were doing." Movaak chuckled and nodded.
"Yeah, thanks for your patience. My mission was actually to scout out for some people that has the potential to use and execute the powers of fiends to their fullest. Although it would be hard to figure who that would be, I always seem to find them. Like you for example." I sighed. Find ME? Yeah right...
Zelferd coughed. "Guys, here we are." When we got out of the tunnel, my eyes spotted...a really HUGE, but bare room. No one was here AT ALL! "Will, I want to see your power." Great, here we go again with the power stuff.
"I'll scan your powers origins and see how its development is going."
I looked at Zelferd. "Development? Fiend powers develop?" Zelferd nodded.
"Yep, if you utilize your fiend powers to its fullest potential, it may be able to evolve into a much better and stronger fiend power or weapon. And there is 2 different types of power." I scratched my head. Too much information for me to comprehend. But to my dismay, Zelferd kept on talking.
"There's a half fiend half human and a fully integrated fiend human. Humans who gain the powers of fiends are called Hiends. Now let me explain the types. Half fiend half human types, or half Hiends, can change a certain part of their body into a fiend, which enables them to utilize that fiend's power by half its potential. A fully integrated Hiend can transform fully into a fiend and utilize 100 percent of the fiend's powers. You understand what I'm saying so far, right?" I nodded my head dumbly.
Movaak smirked and shook his head slowly. He's...he's making fun of me!
"Okay then, anyways, this test that you're gonna take will determine if you're truly a half Hiend or a fully integrated Hiend. Get into the center of the room. Movaak, you too." We both nodded and stood across from each other in the middle.
Zelferd touched something on the wall near the entrance of the tunnel, and a computer panel appeared. He pressed several buttons, and a green bluish barrier surrounded the huge room. I guess this is to nullify any strong attacks that may come from the inside.
"Now...activate your fiend weapon." I stared at Zelferd.
"Yeah, um, how do I do that?" Movaak chuckled.
"You just have to will it to change." Wow, whatever he just said made it a lot harder to understand how to change it. Oh well, that's the only lead I have. I closed my eyes, and pictured my right arm reverting back to its scary, armored, scythe like arm from before. Before I knew it, my shoulder felt like it was sliced again, and when I opened my eyes, my fiend arm was there.
"Ah, nice fiend weapon Will! I'm seduced by its sharpness!" When I looked at Zelferd, he had hearts appearing in his eyes. You got to be joking me.
"Shut up Mr. Zelferd and start the test!"
"Oh? You called me Mr.? No need, just call me Papa Zel..."
"Zelferd!" Looks like Movaak was getting annoyed as well.
"Okay, okay...sheesh, no one can enjoy the features of their own fiend powers. Here we go, get ready to...FIGHT!!"
I dashed towards Movaak and for some reason I got right in front of him. It was like I warped. Sweet. But Movaak already knew I was coming and aimed his punch right at my...groin?
Oh dukey.

A/N: Wow, there wasn't that much action in this story, so sorry! It's night time when I started this story, there might be parts that aren't really...understandable. Probably this whole story doesn't seem understandable! But, I hope you guys can enjoy this story and R&R.
I'm gonna explain some things here, hope you guys can bear all these info. .
Everyone knows about the Crusaders, right? Well, in this story, there's several organizations other than the Crusaders, like the Hiend Research and Experimentation Branch, which focuses on fusing fiends and humans together, and to study fiends and how they act and stuff like that. ON the next chapter, I'll try to get more in-depth into this new organization. And there's more...but I'm not gonna explain those. Maybe later.
And also, just to let you know. Apart from Tidus' storyline, there are also a battle between the Hiends and this other organization called The Hunters. The Hunters goal is to kill and eliminate the Hiends because of their ridiculous taboo of fusing humans with the indespicable fiends. They are a mercenary group for Yevon.
