Ambitions: A Final Fantasy X Fanfiction

Prelude

Lucia groaned as they just finished another run through Final Fantasy X-2. She scoffed, "I still can't believe they made that game. The only reason I played it was to see if there was some other way to show Seymour wasn't at fault. So many obvious flaws in both games." She shrugged, "Ah well. Mindy, wanna play X again?"

Mindy, Lucia's twin sister, shrugged and picked up a controller. "Sure, it's not my favorite, but ehh, it's a guilty pleasure. They really fucked up…" She put a hand to her mouth and looked to her father and mother who were watching them play with the new virtual reality system that made the game seem more real. "Sorry… I mean they messed up with Seymour in X. Seriously, they should have just stuck a post-it note on his forehead that said Bad Guy. Or played obvious villain music. But they couldn't even do that right because he would have been an awesome ally. I thought we were going to get a new character to play with and get new abilities and weapons for."

Lucia nodded as thunder boomed overhead and lightning flashed outside as the sirens blared in their monthly tests. "So did I. But I hated the thunder plains. So annoying."

"Timing puzzles…. ugh, I hate timing puzzles! Hey, did you hear something?" She asked looking back.

"Don't worry hun, the storm just knocked a tree into the window," Mom said as she saw Dad get up to fix it.

The girls settled into playing the game as the CGI video of the opening came on. Lucia shook her head, "Blitz looks so dumb. How do they breathe in the water?"

Mindy shook her head, rolling her eyes and putting a hand to her forehead. "I have no clue. Thinking about it hurts my head."

"Get in there!" A shouting was heard from behind them. Mindy leapt up in fright as she saw her parents running back into the living room. A man with a long-barreled gun stared them down.

Lucia stood in front of her twin. "Who are you? What do you want?" Her mind was racing. Her gun was close… but she doubted she could reach it quick enough.

"Your parents got my brother put in jail, now I'm here to pay them back," The man said. "Get on the floor all of you!"

"Please, do what you want to us but leave our girls alone, please!" Mom shouted. Dad was slowly reaching behind him for the gun he kept in his back pocket. A gunshot rang out and Dad fell to the side, blood oozing from the wound to his head.

Mindy screamed with fear as the man shouted again. "On the floor now!"

Luci stayed still, her body unwilling to move as lightning hit near the house again. "You're just going to kill us all. Regardless if we do as you say or not. Aren't you? Coward."

The man glared at them. "Ample punishment for putting my brother in jail, I think. But if you girls are well behaved, I might be willing to keep you alive a little longer…" He left it to their imagination what he expected.

Mom leapt at the man. "No! I won't let you hurt my girls!" She yelped as the man grabbed her arm and forced to the floor, putting the gun to her head.

Mindy pleaded. "Please, don't hurt our mother, please! You already killed Daddy, don't hurt Mommy please…"

The man scoffed as he pulled the trigger, sending the bullet into her brain. "Now it's your turn ladies… what will it be?"

Lucia saw out of the corner of her eye and heard Auron, her favorite character, speaking to Tidus. She knew her sister would understand. "Fuck you." Not a request but as the curse itself.

The man growled and pointed the gun at her. "You'll go first, you little bitch!"

Mindy grabbed onto her sister, fearful and hoping at least they might go together. "No!"

Lightning flashed as it struck the house hard, and loud. It struck the antennae system that hooked the system to the outside world. Light filled the house just as the man pulled the trigger.

The world seemed to slow down as the being known as Sin seemed to come out of the screen and suck them into him – almost protectively. The girls clung to each other as their worlds went dark...
