summary

Sora is an interdimensional thief who's worth more than what it probably took to make Hollow Bastion. One day, his gummi ship breaks down in a dimension that he has never been in before. Now he has to learn to blend in with the people of this world until he can leave yet again. He must learn to become a Spiran.

Age listing: Sora 19, FFX-2 character ages are the same as the game

chapter one: gummi ships are evil.

"Damn," Sora muttered under his breath.

Sora was lying on the top of his gummi ship, Oblivion. The sun was setting and the wind was getting colder. He had no idea where he was; this is a dimension he's never been to before. Sora had been running away from the DPK until his gummi ship broke down. DPK stood for Dimensional Peace-Keepers, a group of select warriors from many worlds who protect their world from any abnormal imbalances that are caused by a person of another dimension. His old friends, Riku and Kairi, were members of the DPK. They were out to get Sora, for he had stolen a great amount of items from many worlds. He was worth 480 trillion dollars in one of the first worlds he stole from, Hollow Bastion.

"Excuse me," A voice called out to Sora.

"Huh?" Sora turned his head towards the voice.

"Excuse me, but your airship is in the way," A female voice blared out to him from what looked like a red gummi ship.

Sora didn't want to get in trouble in a new world. "Sorry, but I've ran out of power. I can't move it."

"Oh?" The voice replied. "We can help you out! Rikku, go check on it!"

Shit! Riku's here! Sora thought. I've got to move, fast!

"I'm on my way!" Sora heard another girl shout to him.

"A girl...?" Sora said to himself in confusion.

"Hi there!" A blonde girl jumped out of the red gummi ship and landed in front of him. "I'm Rikku! What's your name?"

"I'm..." Sora started, but couldn't decide whether or not to lie.

"You're...?" Rikku repeated.

"...Sora," He finished, deciding it didn't matter. "I'm Sora. Nice to meet you."

"So, what kind of airship is this?" Rikku asked, tapping her foot on it.

"It's a gum-" Sora almost blurted it out. "-a gift from a friend."

"I see. You never looked at its insides?" Rikku walked around him.

"I only know how to pilot it," he lied.

"Well, I don't know too much about these kind of airships, but I have a friend who might know something. We'll haul it down there for you, okay?" Rikku smiled.

"Uh...o-okay," Sora blushed slightly. Who is this girl, he thought.

"Alright then, let's go!" Rikku guided him into the bridge of the red aircraft, which he soon learned was named the Celsius, and was in fact an airship, not a gummi ship.

"Nice place here," he commented.

"Thanks," the voice from before replied.

"Huh?" Sora's eyes clicked with another woman's. This woman had one blue eye and one green eye. Her hair was short and brown except for one long ponytail. Her outfit was very revealing, consisting of a white sleeveless shirt, black hot pants, a blue-white cape and a holster that held a pistol. The white shirt had a giant V-shape cut in the middle that went almost completely through the shirt. In the middle was a black heart-like pattern that held the front of the shirt together. In the back was a pink hood. The shirt was edged with lace. Attached to the end of the white shirt was a pink, lace-like material. Around her waist was the blue-white cape, tied tightly and flowing at the side of her hot pants and her leg. Around it was the holster. Damn, she's hot, Sora thought.

"My name's Yuna," the woman held her hand out to him.

"I-I'm Sora," he stuck out his hand and they shook hands.

"Nice to meet you!" Yuna smiled at him. "So where are you from?"

"Me?" he thought nervously. Shit...where am I from? "Uhh..."

"Fru dra ramm yna oui? Rikku, fru ec drec puo?" a freakily-tattooed man hopped around Sora.

"Brother, drec ec Sora. Sora, this is Brother." Rikku introduced the two to each other.

"Nice to meet you...?" Sora extended his arm, scared.

"..." Brother took Sora's hand and shook it. Suddenly, the airship blared a loud alarm and red lights flickered everywhere.

"Gullwings! We've got a sphere!" A man exclaimed through the PA system. "It's sending strong signals!"

"Where is it?" A tall, silver-haired woman walked in cooly. Sora's eyes were stuck on her, following the black leather from her chest down to her very revealed thighs. "Who the hell are you?" The woman was now in front of Sora.

"Paine, this is Sora. Sora, Paine." Yuna introduced the two to each other.

"Nice to meet you," Sora extended his hand for a shake.

"Same," Paine walked past him to Buddy. "Where is it?" she repeated.

"It's at Zanarkand Ruins," Buddy replied. "In fact, it's coming from the dome!"

"But I'm pretty sure Isaaru closed it up before it left...?" Yuna pondered.

"Maybe there's another entrance?" Rikku suggested.

"That might be true," Buddy replied.

"But if there was another entrance, wouldn't you think this Isaaru guy would've sealed that one up too?" Sora brought up. Everyone turned their heads to him and stared at him blankly. "Uh..."

"He could be right," Paine shifted the attention.

"Tidus!" Yuna snapped her fingers. "He's from Zanarkand! He should know!"

"Hey! I forgot about your loverboy," Rikku said. "Brother! Vimm cbaat yrayt du Besaid!"

"Yeeee-haaaw!" Brother screamed as he changed the direction of the Celsius to Besaid.

I haven't seen Tidus in a while... Sora thought to himself. Hmm... I wonder how he's grown. And I hope that crazy tattoed guy won't eat me alive.
