"Hey, Rikku! This is a pretty nice town for a small city."
"Yeah, so let's find a hotel." They walked down the street and found a huge building.
"This must be the hotel so let's go in." They walked and talked to the Innkeeper.
"Excuse me, but were are going to need two rooms please."
"Yes ma'am." Then they went to their assigned rooms.

As soon as they were in their rooms, a group of people came into the hotel. They asked the Innkeeper something, but Yuna couldn't hear anything.
"Excuse me, but we were wondering if you know anything about a person named Yuna? We do have a picture of her. Here take a look." The Innkeeper took the picture and looked at it.
"Yes I believe I do. I believe she is in this hotel in Room #5. Let me call her for you." He dialed in the room phone number. Yuna ran back to her room and told Rikku that they had to get out of there.
"Rikku, we have to get out of here right now!" So they jumped out the window and landed safely on the ground, but when they touched the ground, a mysterious old man kidnapped them.
Back inside the hotel, the Innkeeper was very discouraged.
"I'm sorry, but it seems she isn't answering the phone. Would you like to try again later?"
"No thanks." And with that the group of people left the hotel. When they left the hotel, they heard screaming coming from the alley. So they ran as fast as they could down the alley.
In the alley, the mysterious man was about to kill them.
"What do you want from us?"
"All I want is your power." He pointed at Yuna and she was terrified.
"My power?" She really didn't know anything about her power. Then the mysterious man was closer. Then they heard something.
"Hold it right there, Bacon!" He turned around and saw a group of people standing there right behind him.

"Let them go!"
"You're too late! They are already mine!" But when he turned back around, his two captives were already gone from sight. He wondered where they could've gone, but when he turned around again, his two captives were standing with the group of people and they had different clothes on with weapons that looked like staffs.
"Give it up, Roger! You know you don't stand a chance against us!"
"Actually, I don't feel like fighting you. Instead I'll have one of my minions take care of you." He summoned a weird-type of creature. After Yuna and Rikku defeated the creature, Roger soon disappeared. Then Yuna and Rikku tried to run away, but a young man grabbed Yuna's arm.
"Let her go, you bitch!"
"You look so familiar."
"I have know I idea what you are talking about!" She got out of his grasp and Yuna and Rikku ran as fast as they could out of the alley.
"Hey get back here!"
"Let them go kid."
"Why? Let's just go after them!"
"Fine!" Then the group of people chased after them.

After Yuna and Rikku ran out of Rouen, France, they took a breather at a street called Big Castle Street in London. There they met up with some kids known as the London Rats. They told them to follow them. Yuna and Rikku followed the kids. Then the group of people followed them. They followed them until they reached a strange entrance. They opened the strange entrance and went in. When they got in, they noticed that know one was in there. They found a ladder and they climbed up. When they got up on the second-floor, they noticed that a girl was lying on the ground passed out and another girl was sitting beside her.
"Somebody please help! Help me please!" A girl ran over to them and took out a small book from her pocket. She then chanted a few words and the girl on the ground, regained consciousness. She sat up and looked around.
"Hello, my name is Alice. The old guy is Zhuzhen, the other girl is Margarete, the tall guy is Keith, and the last guy is Yuri."
"Um, did you say Yuri?"
"Yes I did. Now what is your name?"
"I can't tell you because..."
"Because?"
"It's secret."
"Then just take off your hood then maybe I might know your name."
"No I can't!"
"Just take it off!" Yuri went for her hood and pulled it down. The girl's face was revealed. Yuri was absolutely shocked.
"Y-y-y-you are my sister! Yuna!"
