Micheal lived in a small hut with his older sister Lanna. His parents were killed by Sin right after he was born. Him and his sister were the only ones in thier family to survive. Lannna started to raise her 6 month old baby brother at the age of 13 (with lots of help from the village women.) Ten years later it was a day like any other. . .
"Micheal! It's time to eat!" Lanna hollered out the door. Micheal was playing with a boy across the street. At the call for food he dropped the ball and started running back to the house yelling a quick goodbye to his friend.
He ran into the house and sat down in his chair. Sniffing the air he said,"Mmmmmm Shellfish stew! My favorite!"
"Well eat up. We're going to the temple today." Lanna said sitting down to her own bowl.
The path to the temple was pretty dangerous. The fiends were very dangerous. Lanna had learned to fight with a spear so that she could protect them on their way there. Micheal himself was pretty good with a slingshot, though he wanted to learn to use a sword.
"Cool!" Micheal said jabbing his spoon in the air. Lanna looked up to look out the window and her face paled. Outside she could see a gaint wave start to form. She'd seen it once before. The day she lost her parents. She looked a Micheal and jumped out of her seat.
"Micheal come with me!" She said grabbing his hand. She started to pull him out the door only pausing to grab her staff.
"Sissy what's going on?" Micheal asked worriedly.
"Just follow me!" She yelled as they ran out to the street. It was empty as if noone noticed what was happening. Lanna turned to Micheal and knelt before him. "Micheal listen to me. I want you to run as fast as you can to the temple. Don't stop and don't look back. Got it"
"Ok, but what's going on? I'll explain later now run!" She said this giving him a slighty shove. Micheal turned and ran. Lanna didn't even pause as she ran down the street and started hollering a warning to her neighbors. Micheal had just made it to the path when Sin attacked. He heard screaming coming from behind him and turned to see the village being destroyed. Out of fear Micheal jumped to hide behind one of the gaint trees to hide. The attack lasted only minutes and suddenly all was calm. Micheal peeked his head out and saw that it was done. He quickly ran back to the village hoping to find Lanna.
He found her, about 20ft from their house. She was laying on the plank street. He ran over to her and knelt down beside her. "Lanna!" he yelled trying to shake her awake. It was no use. Lanna wouldn't move.
(epilogue)
The other villagers took care of Lanna's body. Micheal sat alone near the boarding dock where the boats would come in. He was all alone now. Shortly after Lady Yuna's arrival and sending Micheal would be approached by a Crusader. Micheal would join them as an apprientce so that he could train and one day be able to advenge the death of his sister. That day would not come. He would follow the Crusaders on their mission to defeat sin with help from Al Bhed machina. You actually see him in the game. He's right outside the meeting tent practicing. Then again after the attack when you see the spirits of the dead floating around. Micheal is now with his sister.
