Leonfan:Thanks for reviewing! I forgot to get a present for the 3rd person so I'll think of something by chap 5... if I remebe- what was I saying again?
Oh, and I come close to being able to speak that much al bhed. I forget what W, Z, and G (I know what W Z and G are for in al bhed, I ment their English to al bhed translation) are every now and then. But since Jack isn't real, then I can just bend the rules for this a bit.
Italics for spells, bold for al bhed, parentheses (SP?) for thought and notes, underlined ()'s for translations from al bhed, and the 2nd new one, bold and underlined for certain things in Al Bhed that stay the same as in English
Discalmer:I don't Own FFX. I do own my 3 chars. I also owe some easy, pre-made al bhed talkings thanks to Zhyos (Sorry for text borrowing, this probly is the last chap with Al Bhed heavly talking till Bikel (I can't spell Bikel Island).
Chapter 4:No Land, Sunken Airship and Sea Battles
"Ow…" Me and Mike said in unison, both waking up about the same time.
"Hey, you ok?" I looked to my side and Tidus was awake too. Lin was just waking up now.
"I'll live." I groaned. "Or I think I will" Tidus got up, heading over to the guards.
"Ced, lybdeja!" the first guard knocked Tidus back down with his gun. (Sit, captive!)
"Hey, that hurts!" he protested.
That's kind of the point of him throwing you down Tidus.
"Hu sujehk, rayn?" said the guard as he aimed his gun at Tidus (No moving, hear?)
"Woah, okay." I guess Tidus finally realized that he wasn't exactly getting V.I.P. treatment.
Then brother came out and pointed at Me and Mike, then the ground, then he pointed at Tidus and Lin, then did that swimming charade thing.
"Oui lyr camm sa eh Al Bhed, e lyr cbayg ed" (You can tell me in Al Bhed, I can speak it) I said, struggling in parts to say some things. Brother nodded and was going to tell me, but Tidus didn't hear and out in the open, just said:
"Right, whatever." Tidus gave Brother a weird look.
"Ehcumahla!" The Al Bhed guards pointed their guns at Tidus. (Insolence!)
"Fyed!" shouted Rikku. (Wait!) "He said you can say if you make yourself useful." she added quickly.
Tidus turned to Rikku, eyes wide, "You- You understand me?" before Rikku could answer one of the other Al Bhed hit Tidus with his gun.
"Oh almost forgot," she pulled two little square looking things out of her pocket, "These are sphere grids. Sometimes fiends drop spheres, you can collect the spheres, there's several different kinds, and if you absorb them when you touch them then you learned something. Sometimes you get stronger or faster; other times you learn abilities. Each time that you absorb a sphere these grids show you what you learned. Strangely sphere grids customize to their user automaticly; so every sphere grid is different."
She handed a sphere grid to Tidus. I looked down on mine. I noticed that my grid had Mike and Lin's attached, and I saw all of the original sphere grid, but grayed out like the back ground. "Hey Rikku, is there any way to uplink Sphere Grids together?"
"Hm?" She walked over and looked at mine. "Yeah, just attach this wire to yours…"She plugged a cable in, about the size of a GBA link cable. "Then to his…" She put one in Tidus's "And they should link up in a little bit." And like she said, my grid got upgraded, and Mike and Lin took theirs out, but theirs seemed to upgrade themselves. "Oh, and these links work for people you linked up with before, so they get the upgrade too."
"Sweet, thanks!" I said. "Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Oui fana cyoehk?" (You were saying?) I asked brother.
"Oui yht Al Bhed cdyo, udran dfu ramb Rikku." (You and Al Bhed(aka Mike) stay, other two(Lin and Tidus) help Rikku) Brother responded.
Well, this was convenient and all, but if I had to do some undersea work, I probably couldn't last long enough down there.
"Ug " (Ok) Well that helped, but still, that still meant Lin would have to go into another fight, and I have no clue how good of an undersea fighter she is. I just hoped she could at least survive.
"Well? What did he say?" Lin asked me.
"Well, good news for me and Mike, we stay here on the ship, I'm apparently his translator. Bad news, you n' Tidus have to go with Rikku to get power going in a underwater ruins."
"…"
"Alright we'll work!" Tidus finally said through gritted teeth, obviously resisting the urge to try and pummel the Al Bhed.
Rikku continued, "We found some ancient ruins right beneath us! It's not active now; but, there should be some power left. We're going to go down there to activate it. Then we should be able to... salvage the big prize!" after a grunt on Tidus' part she shot her fist in the air, "Okay! Let's get to work!"
"Roger!" said Tidus lamely. He took one long stride and pased on the rail to give Rikku a tumbs up before diving into the cold water. He came up spluttering, "Coldcoldcoldcoldcoldcoldcold..."
Lin's Point Of View
Well DUH dummy! I think even MIKE knows that! I looked back to see my two friends just standing there. I hope I make it back to see them again. I jumped in, the water was warmer than the pool at least. Rikku jumped in and we all dived down.
Hm, this still seems odd, we should be running into those random battle things Jack has told m- why do those fish look so viole… oh. I quickly attempted to throw my blitz ball at one, and surprisingly, it pierced through the water as good as it does in the air. No wonder these things are used so much, these things practically do anything! I was about to throw again, but by the time I reeled it back in, Tidus and Rikku already slice n diced them, I guess I wasn't exactly fit to be in the Final Fantasy world, but either way, I would have to go with Rikku to stay on the ship. We swam down, and from the annoyance of what Jack said those battles were, we probably got lucky only running into that squad. We swam further down the hallway and Tidus did Mike's way of fixing/getting to work. Bang on it until something happens, which did.
We quickly started to swim out, but then a giant squid came after us. I almost screamed, but if I did I would drown, and just barely kept it in. Rikku and Tidus started to fight on it, and I got behind of it to keep it from escaping. Possibly not the best idea, because Rikku missed a grenade and it hit me. I crashed into one of the walls, and the octopus thing escaped. We just decided to forget it, and go back to the ship, via the new hole in the wall. We were going, and I could start to see the silhouette of the ship.
Jack's Point Of View
I hope she's alright. I just watched where they dived in since they left ten minutes ago. Mike just say there too.
"You worried for 'em Jack?"
"Hell yes. Tidus and Rikku can handle the fights down there, what I'm worried for is Lin, she could get hurt is one, or she could be a hindrance, o-"
"Hey, don't worry about it, Lin will be fine, and they probably can stand to have her there because she isn't nagging at them."
"Lin woulda killed you for that comment."
"Ha, yeah. She always does though, so a few more deaths wouldn't hurt."
We talked and laughed for a few idle more minutes, then we saw 3 heads pop up from the sea.
"Oui, uidceta." he shoved Tidus back. (You, outside.)
"Hey, I helped out didn't I?" Tidus protested as the door was shut in his face.
I settled against the crane with my friends. We just watched Tidus and I waited for Rikku to come too.
"Uhhh... hungry..." he moaned. Not five seconds later Rikku appeared with 2 trays, one tray had 3 bowls on them, and handed one to each of us. "Woah, right on!"Tidus declared as he gobbled down the food on the normal tray, then he started to choke on his food. He started to panic but then Rikku handed him a cantine which he gratefully drank from. Mike burst out laughing from this, only to start choking on his food. Same ol' crazy and stupid Mike.
"It's 'cause you eat too fast." Rikku explained, squatting down next to him.
"And because your insane" Lin remarked at Mike catching his breath, then taking another bite, remembering the scene Tidus just did, then laugh, choked, and gout it out. Again.
"Hello there, what's your name?" Tidus asked, oblivious to Mike's stupidity.
"Rikku."
"Wow! you really do understand!" Tidus danced around laughing crazily. Rikku glanced at him nervously then at us.
"Yeah, Tidus is kinda... odd, after all, he um, lost." I explained as I got up to get there.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Tidus asked Rikku, pointedly ignoring me.
"I didn't get a chance to. Everyone thought oui were a fiend." Rikku answered.
"Uhhh... 'we'?"
"'Oui' mean 'you', Tidus." I said and walked over to join the two.
"Right." Rikku agreed, then she turned to me, "You know Al Bhed?"
I nodded, "Yeah. I do"
"Who are you guys anyway?" asked Tidus, once again, ignoring me and everyone else in existence excluding Rikku.
"We're Al Bhed. Can't you tell?" Rikku asked, turning to lean on the rail.
"He kinda doesn't know anything, he doesn't pay attention to the present at all" I joked as I walked over to join her. "Neither does the other guy in this group"
"Hu-GAK!" Mike's attempt to respond, but only ended up choking on his food, again.
"Yeah," she agreed, giggling, "Wait," she turned to face Tidus again, "You're not an Al Bhed hater, are you?"
"I don't even know what an Al Bhed is."
I settled down to watch the spectical as Rikku's eyes widened.
"Where are you from?" she said shocked.
"Zanarkand," Tidus said simply and bluntly, "I'm a blitzball player. Star Player of the Zanarkand Abes!" he kicked an imaginary ball to prove his point.
"Did you hit your head or something?" she asked looking at Tidus as if he had a daisy growing out of his nose.
"Ummm... you guys hit me." Tidus pointed out.
"Oh right," she said sheepishly, "Do you remember anything before that?"
Tidus proceeded to tell her everything as I tuned out for the time being. After thirty minutes (ok, fine, seconds) and an uncomfortable silence. Tidus looked at Rikku, "Did I say something funny?"
"You were near Sin..." she mused.
"Uh-huh."
"Don't worry you'll be better in no time! They say that your head gets funny when Sin is near. Maybe you just had some kind of dream?"
"You mean... I'm sick?" poor Tidus was having trouble coping.
"Because of Sin's toxin, yeah. There is no Zanarkand anymore. Sin destroyed it a thousand years ago. So no one plays blitzball there."
"Wh-what do you mean? A thousand years ago? But I saw Sin attack Zanarkand! You mean that happened a thousand years ago? No way!"
"You said you play blitzball?"
"Uh-huh."
"You know you should go to Luca. Someone might know who you are or you might find someone you recognize."
"Luca?"
Rikku walked around in circles clenching and unclenching her fists until she turned back around and tapped Tidus on the shoulder, "Okay leave it to me! I'll get you to Luca, promise?"
And that's where I had to chime in. "I'll help too, just incase you n' Rikku get lost". Like they will in a few minutes or seconds. To… what again? I walked off to try rembering.
Tidus looked sceptical and Rikku gasped, "You'd rather stay here?" at Tidus' firm 'Uh-uh' she continued, "Okay I'll go tell the others."
She turned to walk away before turning back around, "Oh one more thing, don't tell anyone that your from Zanarkand okay? Yevon says it's a holy place you might upset someone." She turned to me, "What about you, um..."
The next thing I knew Tidus kicked the edge of the boat and suddenly the whole ship rocked from side to side. Several Al Bhed peered over the railings.
"Um let's see here… I am forgetting something important… hm let's see let's see…"
"Sin!" one called, "Sin ec lusa!" (Sin! Sin is come!)
"Ihtan ic! Ihtan ic!" shouted another. (Under us! Under us!)
"Oh yeah! Now I remember, Sin At-"
At that moment, Sin knocked on the boat, and sent the three of us and Tidus plummeting into the water. And I got knocked out by the boat suddenly jerking me into the wall I was going to lean next to trying to remember.
Well, how'd Oui like it? I know I jammed a hell load of words in here (I kinda like details), anyway, Please review, next chapter involves Mike being an idiot, wait, I use that joke every time, nevermind.
