Authors Note: IT'S THE 6TH CHAPTER OF MY STORY! This means I didn't get transported to Spira (AWWW! I'll never get to see him T.T). But please don't blame me if it's not as good as the past chapters, cause I didn't do any drafts for this chapter or later chapters and I don't have my own (legal) copy of FFX (a friends borrowed it) so I don't know whether some of the lines are right. I thank everyone who has reviewed this story, you guys are GREAT!

Chapter 6: Wrong Time for a Phone Call!

I woke up the next morning with a banging headache, noticing that I was in one of the beds in the so called 'Crusaders lodge' with no memory of ever actually stepping foot in here. All I could remember from the night before was eating my special pasta dish and drinking some special Besaidian juice. It then all came back to me, the 'sugar' shouting, the roof climbing and more importantly, me getting hit by a blitzball, knocking me out.

Since I was in my own train of thoughts, I got a huge fright when, "I hate you!" Tidus suddenly shouted out, as he woke up from his dream. I had jumped right off of my bed when he shouted, landing right on my butt.

"Ow! My butt!" 'Why did Tidus have to hate his dad so much and have strange dreams?'

Tidus only then noticed that he had frightened me and caused me to fall off of my bed, "Oops, sorry about that, I just had a really horrible dream…of a horrible person." He mumbled the last part, so I didn't hear it. He got off of his own bed and helped me off of the floor.

The next moment, bright light shone into the room from the doorway (which was a curtain) with the red headed blitzer/guardian holding open the curtain, "Hey, rise and shine people! Don't wanna be late for the boat to Kilika, so hurry up and get ready ya!"

After he had left, my eyes stopped hurting from the bright light, walking over to pick up my bag of stuff, not bothering to see what I looked like in the mirror. This was my mistake.

I walked out of the 'Crusaders lodge' before Tidus and walked over to Lulu and Wakka who were waiting patiently for us. But when they looked over to me, they started to grin and Wakka finally bellowed out with laughter. "What's so funny?" I asked them, with them starting to giggle yet again after looking at me for the second time.

"It's your face Taelea. Check a mirror and you'll find out." I looked back to see Tidus stood at the 'doorway' of the 'Crusaders lodge' with a big grin on his face. I looked in my bag for a mirror and when I found it, I got a MAJOR SHOCK!

"MY FACE! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FACE TIDUS!" I screamed my head off at Tidus. It seems that when I had been knocked unconscious, he had decided to draw on my face, making me look like a cat with huge fangs and whiskers. He even coloured the whole of my nose black. "THIS BETTER WASH OFF OR YOU ARE DEAD!"

"Don't worry, it's not permanent! So don't kill me!" Tidus quickly said before I came over and beat him up to a pulp.

"Well, now that all that angers gone, I'm gonna quickly get my face washed." I ran over to find a bowl of water, but not before saying "And would you two stop laughing as well!" glaring at the two guardians. They stopped immediately, knowing that they didn't want the same thing to happen to them.

After washing my face of the black stuff, I went back to the centre of the village. Wakka was just about to hand Tidus his brother's sword, Chapu's sword. Tidus held the sword up to the bright, tropical light, looking carefully at the details of the sword whilst noticing it was a nice light, yet powerful sword. Tidus was probably thinking that it was a lot better than his father's sword. Lulu looked curiously at Wakka, "Isn't that the sword you gave to Chapu?"

Wakka looked back at Lulu, answering "Yeah, but he never used it." Looking back over to Tidus, who now had a look of surprise.

Yuna finally decided to show up at that time, lugging her giant suitcase behind her as she left the temple. "You know you don't need all of that on your pilgrimage." Lulu pointed out.

"But, these are gifts for the temples." Yuna replied innocently, probably trying to get away with bringing all of her clothes and stuff, but then again, she's the goody too shoes summoner, so at least half of it was really gifts for the temples. Anyway, continuing with the story!

"Look Yuna, what kind of gifts would you give to temples anyway? You don't need all that stuff, they'll be pleased to just meet you, the daughter of lord Braska." Putting in my view of the whole luggage problem and trying to speed things up, otherwise we'll miss the boat for Kilika!

"I guess your right." Yuna let go of the suitcase and walked over to us. As we left, I noticed Yuna do a quick Yevon pray to the village. She thought that she would never come back to this calm, beautiful place that she calls home.

We had only walked several metres away from the gate to the village, when a wolf fiend appeared. "Why don't you try out that sword I gave you?" Wakka asked Tidus. Tidus acknowledged this and sliced the wolf, killing it easily.

A bird fiend next appeared. Wakka started to grin, "A flyer, my department!" he threw the blitzball at the bird and killed it instantly. The blitzball somehow defied the laws of physics and came back to Wakka. 'Maybe it's a remote controlled blitzball.' Trying to figure out how he does that trick.

Next came a water/azul flan, "Uh oh, this could be bad." Wakka said, pointing out the flan.

Tidus just gave a look that said "Yeah right, it looks weak." As he tried an attack against the flan, but it did minimal damage to the flan, "What the!"

I then remembered something and decided to say "Magic must defeat magic!" (Yeah I know, corny, but it is funny when uncle says that in the Jackie Chan cartoon.)

"Lu, you're up!" Wakka called, making Lulu come onto the battle field. Lulu gave her usual explanation about elements and what element to use against the flan. She then finally decided to kill the fiend with a thunder attack, making the flan dissolve into several pryeflies.

"See Tidus. Now do you know that magic must defeat magic." I talked to him as if he was a child. Tidus just grumbled and walked away, not wanting to be out smarted again.

I was about to carry on walking when we got to the top of the hill, but noticed the ruin statue that Wakka has to pray at, so I waited for the others to catch up and do their prayers to the statue thing. "What are you doing Wakka?" Tidus asked, not knowing why Wakka had started to pray there.

"I'm praying for a safe journey, otherwise Sin will attack us." He looked down at the floor, looking miserable, "Chapu didn't pray when he left for the crusaders. Said he'd be late for the boat. Then, Sin attacked the boat. Chapu…died." Tidus now seemed to look awkward, probably not sure what to say, so he just prayed with Wakka.

As we got to the ruins part of the path, I suddenly remembered what happened at this point in the game, jumping out of the way just in time.

Kimahri had leapt down, jumping from one ruin to the next, landing with a loud thud. He scraped the dirt on the ground, punched it and gave a tremendous roar (Note: this is the only time that he or any other ronso roars in the game). He glared at Tidus and me, as if he was about to murder us.

The battle had then begun, with Tidus and me attacking Kimahri, whilst Kimahri countered back, but with me being a samurai, my evade was quite high compared to the others, dodging almost all of his attacks. I threw what seemed like a potion to Tidus when he was badly cut by one of Kimahri's jump attacks, he was instantly healed.

After about 3 gruelling minutes, Kimahri stopped fighting us, holding up one of his giant hands/paws, "Kimahri think you truly are master guardian, test pasted." I just stared in utter shock, "You talked Kimahri!" I could not believe he actually talked this early on in the journey. All of the others (except Tidus) seemed to think basically the same thing, staring at the once always silent ronso.

We carried on walking along the path until we got to the waterfall area, where we met a giant flying bird fiend, blocking our path. "Hey, why don't we let the master guardian show us what she can do. Show us some of your great power, Taelea." Wakka exclaimed, but this didn't seem right, he's supposed to suggest that Yuna shows her summoning powers. 'Man! Will I ever get to see a real aeon!' getting annoyed that I can't see Yuna summon an aeon yet.

"Well, Ok, but I can't make any promises." I ran into the battle, ready to fight the butt ugly bird.

Luckily, when the bird tried to attack me, I dodged it quite easily and my overdrive gauge was now full. "All right! Time to slice up the turkey!" I randomly shouted out. Yet again, power surged through my body and I yelled "TWIN SABERS!" my claws merging into blades. But instead of just slicing it twice, I sliced it multiple times, as if I had been berserked. I then kicked it in its head, jumped backwards, ran back towards it and stabbed the blades into its chest.

The bird fiend immediately fell, screeching as it turned into pryeflies. "You da man, I mean master guardian!" Wakka shouted, quickly correcting himself of the mistake. I could have sworn that I heard Tidus mumble, "I could do that too!" sounding kinda jealous of my overdrive.

We carried on walking along the path, Tidus sulking (again), Yuna pretending to be cheerful, Lulu staying silent like a mime, Wakka rubbing his head after I had hit him for calling me a man and Kimahri had turned back into his usual silent self.

We had finally reached our destination; the beach with the boat dock. As we walked along the sand towards the boat, children ran up to Yuna and started to cry, asking her not to leave. Yuna just gave them a hug and said that she must leave to defeat Sin. Some of the people from the village were there, giving gifts to Yuna, wishing her good luck and did the same with me, giving items and armour.

Boarding the boat, Yuna waved goodbye to the people of her village as the boat started to sale away. I even decided to wave to them as well, shouting "Don't worry! I promise we'll bring the calm!" The children had started to smile again and waved back.

I went down to the cabin area, going into one of the side rooms and used the dressphere to change out of my hot and sweaty samurai gear. I was now wearing a white T-shirt with a dragon on it, navy blue trousers with a light blue and white stripe down the side, with white and blue trainers. I also noticed the box that you can kick to get potions, but I just opened it up and grabbed them, rather than kick it for about 10 times.

As I came out of room, a man spoke out "Hmm, interesting clothes you've got there. You seem like a rich person." I recognised that unusual accent easily, "And you seem like an annoying salesman, Oaka the 23rd."

"How do ye know of me name? Not many people have heard of me, well, not yet. Anyway, you wouldn't have any Gil to lend would ye, I know I'll be able to repay you back!" he grinned in hope that I would give him some Gil, which I did in the end, handing over two silver 500 Gil coins from a pouch that was in my bag.

"Thank you, kind stranger. I will always remember your help in building the Oaka Empire." He then left to probably ask other people for Gil.

I went back on deck to see Tidus talking to Yuna, whilst Kimahri kept watch of the two of them, making sure nothing happened to Yuna. I was about to walk over to them when the boat started to rock around like mad, grabbing for the nearest box or railing to hold onto. Tidus was trying to keep hold of Yuna's hand, but his grip loosened and she was flung to the other side of the ship. She grabbed the harpoon thing for dear life. Kimahri had then jumped over to her and grabbed her, holding onto the side until the boat stopped shaking about. Sin's tail appeared out of the water, the crew and other passengers of the ship screamed at the sight of Sin.

Play "enemy attack" FFX

Two men ran past us and grabbed hold of the harpoons, "You stick a harpoon in Sin and we all go down!" Wakka yelled at the two men, who looked ready to use the harpoons.

"Forgive us lady Yuna! Our families are in Kilika, we must do something to protect them!" One of the men shouted out. Yuna gave a nod, to tell them that they could do it. The men fired the two harpoons at Sin, only one of them landed successfully in Sin. The boat was then pulled along to the great power of Sin.

Three sinspawn scales flew over towards us and landed at the end of the deck. Yet again, I changed back into my samurai gear. We ran forwards; me, Tidus and Kimahri attacking the sinspawn scales, whilst Lulu and Wakka attacked the tail of Sin. It was getting us nowhere, the scales just kept coming and Lulu had run out of MP.

"Yuna, you have to summon! We can't beat Sin with just Wakka's blitzball." I shouted over to Yuna, who nodded in agreement. Everyone ran back, making sure that they didn't get in the way of the summoning. Yuna started to do the summoning ritual for Valefore, a summoners' insignia surrounding her. The next thing that happened was Valefore flying down towards Yuna, landing next to her, Yuna stroking the aeon's feathers before it flew into the air to battle. I couldn't believe my own eyes, a REAL AEON; I have just seen an aeon being summoned! It was stunning and the aeon was so graceful with its attacks.

Then, all of a sudden, my mobile started to vibrate and the ring tone (which for some reason was the hymn of the fayth.) started to play. Everyone turned around (except Yuna, who had to concentrate on Valefore), "What in Yevon's name is that!" Wakka exclaimed, wondering what that noise was.

"Hang on a sec!" I grabbed my mobile out of my bag and saw that it was Sarah ringing, "SARAH, THIS IS NOT THE BEST TIME TO RING ME! I'M FIGHTING SIN ON THE WAY TO KILIKA!" Explaining the situation to Sarah.

"WHAT! So it really is true that you're in Spira! I thought that video recording that you sent me was something you made! You are sooo lucky!" Sarah said, sounding slightly hyper.

"Yeah well, I have to go now. I think Valefores about to kill Sins tail with its energy ray and well, you know what happens when Sins tail is defeated, so, BYE!" I hung up the phone when Sarah replied back with bye as well.

I was correct about Sins Tail being defeated, but I was a bit late in noticing it, so when the boat gave one last powerful shake, I fell off the side, into the fiend infested sea. I saw Tidus fall in as well, but fiends started to gang up on him and eventually KO'd him. I checked to see whether I had any phoenix downs but I couldn't find anything like them. The only thing I could do was kill off some of the fiends, stopping them from continually attacking Tidus's lifeless body.

Luckily, Wakka had jumped in, throwing a phoenix down to Tidus, reviving him. Tidus then saw the fiends and helped us out with exterminating them. Once the last of them died, dolphin like creatures swam past, running/swimming away from a strange octopus fiend.

When I saw the fiend, I thought 'Great! It's Mr Blender the octopus! I hate this thing!' swimming over to attack the fiend, but was blocked of by one of the smaller fiends. We all kept attacking the fiend and smaller scale fiends, Wakka attacking with a dark attack to try and blind the fiend. I eventually noticed that I could use the power break skill, halving the fiends' strength. When the fiend did its blender attack, I felt travel sick, almost throwing up. Yet, it did not seem to do much damage to any of us. With the use of Tidus's overdrive, spin cut, the fiend was killed.

After we had clambered back aboard the boat, Sin had begun its attack on Kilika. Screams could be heard all the way over hear. Houses being destroyed and sucked up into a tornado above Sin. I could not believe what I was seeing, innocent people dying under Sins power, families lost to that evil bug, Yu Yevon. I started to cry. I felt so helpless; I could not do anything to stop Sin at this time.

The boat docked at what was left of Kilika's harbour and Yuna quickly got off to greet the survivors of the attack, "Greetings, I am the summoner, Yuna."

"Oh, lady summoner!" one of the survivors exclaimed.

"If there is no other summoner to perform the sending, then let me perform it." Yuna replied, sounding her very serious self.

"Thank you lady Yuna. We feared that our loved ones would become fiends." The same person said.

We walked along to where the dead bodies (which were covered in black clothe, with the Yevon symbol on them) were. I stayed a bit behind; I had a bad feeling about this.

As usual, Tidus was clueless and asked "What's a sending? Are we going somewhere?"

Lulu sighed, "The dead need guidance. They can become jealous of the living and become fiends, learning to hate even despise the living. The sending is a ritual that a summoner performs to guide the dead to the Farplane."

Tidus just replied with "Oh."

Yuna took off her shoes and walked out onto the water. She suddenly stopped in the centre of the half floating dead bodies and then swung her staff. The dance had begun. The hymn of the fayth had started to play, as she danced on the water. Tidus stared in amazement at the beautiful dance. I then realised a pain that was coming from the centre of my chest. It grew as the sending continued. I was then having trouble to cope with it, my face began to burn and I felt as if I was fading. 'What's happening to me!' My breathing became harder to control and all I could think of doing was jumping in the water to calm myself down.

Some of the people stared at me when I put my goggles on and jumped into the water. Soon, the pain had begun to leave my body and I could breathe again. I was about to swim back up to the surface when I started to see a face on the sea floor. It came nearer to me and soon more faces appeared around me, with bodies. They were trying to grab me and pull me down, but I just swam away, panicking. 'AAAHH! It's just like in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, in the dead swamp or something like that!' I had almost surfaced when my body just wouldn't swim anymore. I looked back to see them gaining on me. Then, a hand had grabbed me from behind and pulled me out of the water.

Coughing, I spluttered "Thanks…I thought I was done for back there." Looking up to see that it was Tidus.

"What were you doing? Trying to drawn yourself or something?" He asked as he helped me up onto my feet.

"Well, I was in pain and decided to cool off in the water, but then…all these ghostly figures appeared and tried to drag me further down into the water…I panicked. I tried to swim away, but I couldn't, then you pulled me out. I don't know what just happened really." Explaining what had just happened to me to Tidus, Yuna and the guardians. I was still in a bit of shock, shaking a little bit.

"You should get some rest." Yuna said, before she herself, yawned.

"It looks as if you both need rest. Let's go to the inn and tomorrow we'll travel to the temple." Lulu said, walking ahead of us to the inn.

We went to our separate rooms. As I entered mine, I noticed that it seemed quite a bit bigger than I had expected, but it didn't really matter. All I wanted to do was collapse on the bed and fall asleep. I had had enough of today, with Sin and the ghostly figures. I started to close my eyes when I thought I heard someone at the door. I got up and walked over to the door, looking through the key hole to see if anyone was really there. There didn't seem to be anyone, but I was sure that I could hear someone out there. Feeling a bit unsafe, I locked the door and went back to bed. I couldn't sleep and then found out that it was because I was still wearing my samurai gear. So I changed into some pyjamas and fell asleep.
