Chapter 2: Besaid? We're in Besaid?
"Hey you two Okay over There?" Andre woke up at the question because he didn't recognize the voice he looked and saw two blitzballs in the water Tidus must've woke up also because he was estatic to see the familiar sphere Tidus then did his special sphere kick to show off " then I said alright Tidus two can play at that game." Andre then threw the ball up and Jumped into a corkscrew spinning motion and kicked it so hard that the guy next to where it hit the rock got knocked off his ass Tidus then looked at him "how do you know that move that's my dad's move?" Andre shrugged "I just saw a guy in a sphere recording do it first time pulling it off though." they then went up the the shore and the guy that looked like the captain asked us to do those moves again Tidus complied and Andre followed in suite after the captain introduced himself I'm Wakka Captain of the Besaid Aurochs. What?" Andre with his mouth agape thinking 'We hitchhiked Sin all the way to Besaid?' he then answered "nothing big fan that's all."
Wakka raised an eyebrow "Ya other than our Island I didn't know we had fans?" Andre then answered "I like rooting for the underdogs. Any way it's pleasure to meet you Wakka I'm Andre and Mister triple show off here is Tidus he promptly said "Hey!" he ignored him and asked Wakka to show him to the village while they were going Wakka asked them for a spot on his team admitting that they sucked and saying that this will be his last tournament so he wanted to win this year as soon he heared their age limit was fifteen he eagerly accepted and Tidus was a bit more reluctant but accepted also before they continued Wakka asked them "you guys know how to fight ya?" Andre promptly drew his Dual Swords out while Tidus pulled out his sword and looked at Andre's and chuckled because they were considerably smaller than his "really what can those toothpicks do?" andre then smirked he got this sort of thing a lot he then said "In my hands these 'toothpicks' as you called them can hit harder and kill faster than that sword your overcompensating for something probably more than anything else." that got under Tidus's skin as soon as some fiends jumped out and Tidus took them out in three minutes while Andre took out the same amount of fiends in half the time as Tidus he yawned as Tidus finished
" You done gotta find a way to contact Rikku." Wakka then asked "Who's Rikku?" " my step sister we were seperated when Sin attacked us I need to now what happened to her." Wakka not knowing what to say said the only thing he thought would be comforting "I've lost my family to Sin too I have no words that could make you feel better but if ther's a chance she's alive I'll help you find her." "Thanks Wakka that means a lot anyway where we going now?"Andre asked Wakka obliged "To the Besaid Temple" Andre then stopped in his tracks always told to beware any yevon temples because they would always treat any al bhed the worst out of any Yevonites Wakka Looked at him weird " anything I should know before we go because you been acting weird ever since I metioned the temple you're not Al Bhed are you?" Andre deciding to tell partly the truth and pulled out a pocket watch with an Al Bhed insignia etched on it and a message Cid left him in Al Bhed text even tough he could speak it fluently he coundn't read Al bhed that cid gave hime for his birthday the only distinguishing feature to tell that he was Al bhed " you're half right Wakka you see I am Al Bhed but not by Blood I was adopted by the Al bhed when I was six years old and been raised as an Al bhed and even though I don't look it so sorry if I'm a bit hesitant to go to a temple of Yevon when Yevonites have ran me out of every luca cup just because my family was al bhed." Tidus was completely shocked by all of this having no knowledge of the prejudice that the Al Bhed have faced. he looked then looked to wards Wakka who was deep in thought then he came up with an idea he walked up to Andre took his pocket watch from him "Wakka what the Hell?" Wakka then after looking at it put back in Andre's pocket and Said, "I may not like al Bhed but I won't condemn people for having relations to the al Bhed." Andre looked up at Wakka " I won't ell anyone about you being an adopted al bhed you tell only those you think you can trust now c'mon." they walked back up the path to the village.
A road full of fiends later
Andre was the first to the village with Wakka next and Tidus trailing way behind "told you I'm faster than you guys," Wakka Panting "Ya maybe you should be a guardian like me if blitzball doesn't work out. Andre rolled his Eyes thinking 'why would I want to protect someone who will die in the end anyway' but legitimately thought it would be more fun than waiting for the next scavenge party at home "I'll think about it Wakka there any summoners in town cause I might take you up on that offer or could your summoner use a few more bodies he could also have a pretty good time as a Guardian Cosidering he he doesn't know what'll happen to them in the end . When I think about it why do we always go for the temporary solution instead of someone trying to find an absolute permanent solution before you ask not with Machina weapons those are never reliable but still there has to be another way."wakka Raised an eyebrow "How do you know about Machina weapons any how?" "Uh hello because of who raised me remember?" making sure to stay vague as not to raise interest around the village. "Anyway let's go to the temple to meet your summoner. Finally catching up Tidus?" he said as Tidus caught up them his eyebrow twitching out of anger "You know can be a real ass sometimes?" "Yeah yeah let's go. Oh wait do you know the Prayer Mister from another time?" Tidus looked at him questionly at the question and the nickname. "What that's the only logical explanation since you're describing Zanarkand when it wasn't in ruins and this is the Prayer." he put his arms wide then put the hands on top of ecah curving them to look like a ball and ten bowed. "Now let's go and to keep up you might want to learn the haste spell to speed yourself up."
