Chapter Three: Summoners
In the Temple of Besaid, Sometime before the three washed onto shore...
A young man with bright brown hair, wearing both red headphones and the Yasogami high male uniform, awaken to the sound of a Hymn. "Huh?" he slowly rose to his feet. Looking around he noticed three people. One was a beast that stood on his hind legs and had blue fur and a cut horn. Another, was a female human about twenty three, with black hair wearing a strange robe made of fur and belts. The final was a female about his age with pale skin, white hair and red eyes wearing the female version of the Yasogami school uniform. "You alright?" The white haired girl asked in a strange ascent. "...Yeah, but where am I?" The male asked as the beast approached the two. "Kimahri, I have doubts he is a threat to Yuna." The black haired woman answered as the beast walk back to place. The woman approached the two teens. "Who are you, boy?" The young man answered and then asked. "Yosuke Hanamura, Who are you guys?" "I am Lulu, the Ronso here is Kimahri as for the girl, I do not know." Yosuke, turning his attention to the girl, thought to himself. "She kinda cute." The teen then shook his head and asked her. "What your name, Miss?" "I wish I knew, I remember bein' the president of the school before Yuna and her friends came here. " She sadly sighed an answered. "Wait, we're not in the TV world?" The teen thought as he finally noticed the strange chamber and symbols that surround him. "Where are we?!" He asked in a surprised tone of voice. Lulu had a concern look on her face as she explain the world he is in. "Spira?" Yosuke thought to himself as he calmed himself down. "Okay...wait, who's Yuna?" He asked when the Hymn became louder.
On the beach of the Island...
The three outsiders made small talk with the Aurochs when their leader, Wakka, was called to the north of the beach by a villager. "...I see." The leader commented as the villager shook his head. Wakka had a concern look on his face as Yu approached him. "What's wrong?" The grey haired teen asked. "It's nothing, but we might have to split up to reach the village." The team's captain replied "Alright, but we will need a map." Yu answered as the orange haired male pulled a map from one of his two pockets. "Here you go, but beware of fiends, they're everywhere on the path." Wakka warned as Aigis and Tidus arrived. "So, what's up?" The blonde male asked. Wakka explained that the four are splitting up to two groups. "Tidus, you and I will take the fun route, Yu and Aigis, you two take the path through the waterfalls." "All right, I understand." Aigis answered politely. "All right, let's go!" The star player cheered.
As Wakka and Tidus left, the two Persona users noticed a otherworldly blue glowing door in front of a bolder. "That's..." Aigis thought aloud. Yu, realizing that she too can see the door, was surprised. The two used their Velvet Keys to open the door into the state between mind and reality.
Velvet Room
"It's been far too long, Master Narukami and it's my honor to finally meet you, Miss Aigis." A blonde haired woman wearing a blue dress and eyes of dark gold. "It's been awhile, Margret." his voice echoed through the inside of a limo, driving through the fog to an unknown destiny, did not shocked Yu, but somewhat surprised the Android. "Is this the Velvet Room, it has changed." Aigis thought to herself. "Yes, it has changed, it could be that Narukami's journey has ties with you, as well as your friends." Yu, somewhat confused about the turn of events, begin to asked questions. "Margret, what's going on here, I mean, We're no longer in the TV world or even earth are we?" The first question was answered by the assistant. "I am afraid so, somehow your groups are separated in a world known only as Spira." "All right, then why is Aigis in the Velvet Room?" Yu politely asked. "Two years ago, she was given the power of the Fool to find an answer, however, she would have never have access to the Velvet Room, again..."Margret paused for a moment to think to herself and finished answering the question. "...that is until today."
Margret begin to explain. "The true reason she is here. my Master, Igor, who is away at the moment, asked me to present you with a gift." "A gift?" Aigis and Yu both thought as Margret summoned a azure colored card. "This card will disguised your appearance from the humans in this world." "Why is that?" Yu pondered for a bit. However, Margret, as if reading Yu's mind, answered. "The humans here have been taught that Machines, known as Machina, has brought a cruel fate as their punishment, however, you must decide if this is the truth of this world." "What do you mean..." "I am afraid that I can explain no more, however, it seems this new journey will be quite different, for it will test you in more ways in one. Aigis, who is in search of her missing sister and Yu Narukami, planning to save his friends from the horrors awaits them. I wish you the best of luck." Margret commented as she and the Velvet Room begin to fade.
Reality...
Yu awaken from the trance and noticed that the door has disappeared. "A new journey, Aigis did you have the same...huh?!" Yu begin to ask before noticing a difference in the android. "what's wrong, Yu-san?" She asked. Yu, in shock, beings to clear his breath. "Aigis, you might want to look at yourself." Yu answer as Aigis looked down on her hands. "...!" She was shocked to see that her hands were no longer white and grey, but now flesh and bone. "I'm human, but how?" Aigis thought before realizing that she was wearing Gekkoukan High School Uniform. "..This is my uniform from school, is this the disguise that Miss Margret spoke of?" She pondered when the girl thought of a horrify thought. "How will I fight?" Yu finding a staff near his feet, gave it to the former android. "I guess has to do, besides we can summon our Personas here, right? So, we should have too many problems." Yu answered. The two then start on the path.
Yu managed to take care of most of the fiends as the two continued on the path. "How are you doing?" Yu asked as Aigis tries to adjust to being human. "I'm alright, yet, I wish I had my guns with me." She somewhat smiled. "Yeah, but you're getting good at being human." Yu answered. However, before either of them could make a joke about their strange situation, A fiend with wings and one eye stood(?) in their way. Yu tried to strike it, but it evade as it flew at the female. "Aigis, look out!" Aigis block and by mistake summoned another Persona than Athena. "Orpheus?" She asked as the white haired Persona blocked the attack. "...Wait, you're a wild card?" The grey haired teen asked as Orpheus bash the fiend with his harp, bursting into strange lights. "How did I summoned him?" Aigis thought before noticing a Besaid Islander from the village ran toward the duo. "I never saw that Aeon before, What is it?" The young girl asked.
"It's name is Orpheus and it belong to a old friend." She sadly answered. "Ok, are you a Summoner?" The young girl asked. "...Summoner?" Yu questioned as the girl walked with them to the village. "...You're her Guardian, yet you two don't know what Summoners are?!" She was confused as much as the offworlders when the three arrived at a hill where the two Blitzball players were. "I knew you guys would make it!" Wakka cheered as he noticed Aigis' new attire. "...What happened to your old clothes, did the fiends messed them up?" The older male asked. Aigis thought as first but gave an answer before asking."...Yes, Wakka do you know what a Summoner is?".
The islander was confused, at first, about the question but answered. "Ya, are people who studied the ways of Yevon to harness a great power called Aeons, they are the only ones that could defeat Sin, why you asked?" "They didn't know what a Summoner is but she can summoned Aeons." The little girl answered to the Surprised Blitzball Team Captain. "Really, then Yu must be her Guardian." Tidus, who remained silent during their conversation, interrupt. "We got close to Sin, So even I didn't know what a Summoner or a Guardian is." "Oh right, sorry. Wait do you guys know the prayer?" He asked. "No, sorry." Yu answered. "Man, Sin's toxin must have hit you hard, before we enter the village, I'll show you." The three watched as Wakka did the pose that the other Aurochs did when the team learned that the three was attacked by the monster. "All right, easy to remember, right?" Wakka asked as he left the three to talk. "So, what do you know about Wakka, Tidus?" Aigis asked. The blonde haired male answered. "He's alright, He also told me of these people known as Crusaders that fight Sin. Wait, what did happen to you, Aigis? I thought you were a Machine." Tidus asked softly.
After explaining that Aigis became human, as a disguise. to Tidus and thanking him for the cover story, the three entered Besaid's Temple and noticed a group of people asking various questions to a priest. "What's going on?" Tidus whispered to Wakka when the priest noticed the teens. "Ahh, the strange Summoner and her Guardian, you two may entered when the current Summoner is finish praying in the Fayth." "What is he talking about?" Yu asked. "The Summoner and her Guardians, they have been in the Fayth to obtain Valefor for a few days." The islander answered. "Are they safe?"Aigis, worried, pitched in. "Hard to say, but if they are not careful..." The teen upon hearing the concern in Wakka's voice ran towards the door that the priest blocked. "What are you doing, Tidus?" Yu asked. "The Summoner and her Guardians could die, right, so I going to see if there alive." "Have you gone mad, no one is allowed, so are the teachings of Yevon!" The Priest yelled. "Like I care!" Tidus, to the shock of the people, answered. The priest, in a state of shock, asked Wakka to go after him. "Alright, but these two are coming with me, I know it's weird but they don't remember much, I'll help them." "Alright Wakka, but don't let that punk ruin Summoner Yuna's train of thought." "Got it!" Wakka replied as the three ran into the trails. "Didn't know you're a Guardian, Wakka." Aigis commented as the three prepare to chase after the Blitzball player. "Yeah, Yuna's like a younger sister, so I have to see to it that she will be safe." Wakka replied to the surprised off worlders.
As they entered the trails, the three noticed a black liquid creature with a blue mask appeared in front of them. "What kind of fiend is that?" The orange haired man screamed, however, the two offworlders knew what the monster was. "A Shadow, here?" The grey haired teen thought as they prepare for battle. Wakka threw his Blitzball at the Shadow, but it had little to no effect as the creature dodged. "Damn, missed!" Wakka cursed as he was tripped by the creature's arm. Yu slashed the monster with his sword, taking a huge chunk of health out of it before a blue card appeared and he smashed it with his hand. "Izanagi, Cleave!" Yu yelled as his Persona appeared behind him and with it's strange blade cut the Shadow in half. "No way...what kind of Aeon is that thing?!" The islander was in shock.
"It's named Izanagi." "Wait, how are you able to summoned it, I mean you're a Guardian, right?" The islander questioned. "I'm not sure how, when we awaken, they came to us." The grey head lied to keep their world a secret for now. The shocked Wakka wanted to asked another question, but he decided to stay quiet. The three found Tidus as he finished the last puzzle that leads into a chamber. The blonde turned around and noticed the three approaching him. "...Don't try to stop me." He rudely said. "We're not, One thing, I'm a guardian, Two, you have to be more careful." Wakka answered. As the floor underneath them started to float down.
The floor stopped as the four entered a chamber where four others wait. "...Wakka, why are there others here besides you?" The woman clan in black asked the other guardian. "I should be asking you the same thing, Lu." Wakka laughed as Yosuke fist bump his old friend. "Long time, no see, Partner." The schoolboy laughed. However, Aigis was surprised about the other female that was with them. "You must have been scared, Sister." Aigis said to the surprise of the white haired girl. "Y-yeah, who are you?" The girl was shaken but could sense that the blonde means her no harm. "I am Aigis, and you are my sister, Labyrs." The name surprised the school president. "Yeah, that's my name, isn't? I'm startin' to remember everything." Labrys cried as the two sisters hugged.
Wakka, confused asked Lulu, "What's going on here?" Lulu sighed, before noticing Tidus. "...Who are you?" Lulu asked in a surprised tone. "Tidus." The blonde answered, However, before anything else could happen, the door on top of the stairs opened to the surprise of everyone. From the other chamber, came a young woman, about the teens' age, with short brown hair and wearing a white top and purple skirt, struggling to stay balance. She was about to fall until Kimahri caught her. She rose back on her feet, and pushed her hair out of her face. "I have done it, I have become a Summoner.
