Love Has No Boundaries
(From Chapter 8)
Yuna was speechless… She could not believe that she hurt Tidus and was now facing his second death. She could not believe that she was the one who would bring him to his end… She just stared at him…
She cried and for the last time she whistled…
Chapter 9: Fragments of Memories
The Maester ordered the guards the seize her and that she was to be sentenced to imprisonment. The guards grabbed her on both arms and were dragged away from the wedding, while Tidus was in pain. She tried to struggle to get off the guards and tried to whistle once more…
"This is the last time I'm going to do this…" Yuna whistled.
She voluntarily went to where she was destined to be. The sound of the whistle suddenly united with the arrow that pierced Tidus' heart. The arrow shined brightly as the sound united with it. The pain suddenly stopped and Tidus was able to stand up.
"Are you alright Tidus?" Celine, his bride to be, asked him.
Tidus ignored her words as if he did not hear it. His body was in Bevelle physically, but his mind was somewhere else. There he stood in a dark place where nothingness existed. He was the only one there.
"Where am I?" He asked himself.
Suddenly, huge pictures appeared around him. Scenes that he never seen before, but deep inside him, he somewhat knew these.
"What's this? What are all this pictures for?" Tidus asked himself.
He looked one of the pictures and there he saw Auron lifting his long and heavy Katana. Suddenly, his head began to ache. He shook his head with his hands to wear the pain off… The dark place suddenly changed and he was back in his home, Zanarkand…
"What's this place…? How come I somehow know this place…?" He asked himself.
He then saw a teenager, a guy, running towards a lot of people… He knew it was him…
"What am I doing in this place…?"
He saw himself signing blitzballs and impressing some of them…
"Hey Tidus! Can you teach us how to play Blitzball?" One of the kids asked.
"Sure… Let's say tomorrow…?" He asked.
"Okay!" They all said.
He then walked with one of the ladies who were admiring him.
"Hey! If I made a shot and I do this…" He said as he raised his hand…
"It means it's for you!" He winked.
The ladies just smiled at him… After all this signing and conversing with his fans, He walked on a long road and he saw his old man's picture above a tall building… He just stared at it and ran away. The Blitzball game was already about to start and he rushed to the stadium to get into the game. He went in on a dark place with a pool of water in it. He sat there and closed his eyes, concentrating… The game was starting so he opened his eyes and went out. People where screaming all over the place as he went in the sphere that was made up of water.
He got the ball and went up high above the stadium and did the Blitz Ace. He did a summersault and kicked the ball all the way down the sphere… However, he saw something coming near them… It was Sin… People panicked and ran all over the place… He got out safely and saw Auron outside.
"Auron!" He shouted.
"Follow me…" Auron ordered.
He followed Auron and he saw insect like creatures coming out from the sin spawn. Auron gave him a long sword as they cut their way through them. The successfully got out and were able to defeat the sinspawn. Big explosions suddenly occurred and they rushed to get out. Unfortunately, he saw himself did not able make it on an edge of a ledge when he jumped. Auron was just staring at him and he fell…
He saw himself again, but this time he was "swimming" around Zanarkand.
"Wow… Why am I doing this…?" He asked himself as he saw himself swimming around…
He saw Auron again and he pulled him up and there was Sin, devouring the place…
"This is your story…" Auron said…
He let go of Tidus and Sin devoured Tidus…
The event stopped and he was back in the dark place with the pictures…
"Now I remember how I got to Spira… Thanks to Auron… But there are still bits and pieces that I still don't know…" He told himself…
He looked again at the pictures and saw Wakka. He saw him carrying a blitzball in an island. His head ached again and the background changed again… He saw himself in a locker room preparing for the championship.
"What now…?"
He saw Wakka got in and talked with the team, the Besaid Aurochs…
"This is it, ya! I want us to win!" Wakka shouted.
They all shouted and raised their hands.
"This will be my last game, ya… Win or lose… After this, I'll do my job as a guardian and protect Yuna, ya!" He told them.
"Yuna… Yuna… I still can't remember…"
They all frowned and promised they would do their best. Suddenly, he saw a woman with her bangs covering her other face and a blue furred being dashed into the room…
"Yuna's been kidnapped!" the woman shouted shouted…
"What do we do now, ya? The game's about to start…" Wakka asked.
"The Al Bheds kidnapped her… We have to do something fast…" Lulu said.
"I'll go with you, while Wakka go on with the game…" He saw Tidus planned.
"I can't believe the Al Bhed Psyches scared of us, ya! They still have to kidnap Yuna just to win…" He wondered.
The pushed through with the plan, and he followed them to where Yuna was held captive… They killed mech-like machinas along the way. They reached the ship just in time and saved Yuna… As they walked pass the television that was around Lucca, they saw Wakka win the first round!
The scene disappeared again and he was back…
"Wakka… Ya… You're the one who found me in the shores in Besaid… Now I remember…" Tidus exclaimed.
He looked at another picture… Kimahri was there. That picture was the plainest of them all…
"I guess… It's because I don't know him much…"
Another scene took place, and he saw himself with Kimahri in Mt. Gagazet. This is the place where the Ronsos live.
The leader of the Ronsos allowed them to enter Mt. Gagazet when Yuna spoke to them. However, two other Ronsos would not allow them to pass. It was Biran and Yenke Ronso…
"Kimahri can't pass Mt. Gagazet because little Kimahri is weak…" One of them said.
"Hey guys! Why don't you let him pass!" He saw himself said.
"This is Ronso business… Kimahi handle it alone… Kimahri show Biran and Yenke I can defeat them." Kimahri said boastfully.
"Ooooh… We're scared… Show us what you've got little Kimahri!" They both shouted boastfully.
They went into a secluded area and there they fought, Kimahri against both of them. It was a great disadvantage for Kimahri since it was two against one, but with great determination, he defeated them with his spear.
"… Kimahri defeat Biran and Yenke… Kimahri strong now… Kimahri may enter Mt. Gagazet." They both said…
After this fight, he was back with the pictures…
"Kimahri… You sure showed them… But, I still have to remember a lot of things… Thiese were only a few memories that I lost…"
Without further delay, he looked at another picture with the Al Bhed girl in it. It was Rikku in her Home in Bikanel Desert. He suddenly felt sand on his face… He covered his face and as he took it off, he saw he was in Home… Chaos was everywhere and fiends attacked it.
Rikku ran to her Home and saw the place was on fire. He saw his brother near his death… She ran towards him and held him up.
"Brother! Fru tet drec du uin Home? Fru tet drec du oui? (Brother! Who did this to our Home? Who did this to you?)" She asked as she cried.
"Ed fyc dra Guados… Drao fnalg uin Home…(It was the Guados… They wrecked our Home…)" These were his last words.
She hugged him for the last time… Cid suddenly went out, and told them to go to the airship. Rikku assisted them to where it was located. They fought fiends, but that did not stop them from going to the airship. They went in a brown door and there they saw all the summoners who was lost…
"Where's Yunie?" Rikku asked.
"Yuna's… Not here…" Dona, a black summoner, said.
"Rikku! Why are you kidnapping all these summoners? Don't you want Spira to be saved from Sin…?" Tidus shouted.
Rikku remained quiet…
"Why!? Rikku? Why!?" Tidus exclaimed.
"If they continue their pilgrimage… did you know that they're going to die? You know that? Do you?" Rikku cried.
Tidus was strucked as he heard what Rikku said.
"We don't want them to be killed… There's has to be another way!" Rikku exclaimed.
"Since when did you know this!?" Tidus shouted at them…
"Since the start of the pilgrimage…" Lulu said.
"But, why didn't you tell me! All those words I said to Yuna… I thought I knew everything! Now… You're saying that she's going to die…?" Tidus suddenly cried…
"… Yuna… I still can't remember… Why… Am I crying…?" The real Tidus said.
Isaaru, another summoner, went towards them…
"It was our decision to sacrifice our lives… We, summoners, are prepared for the fate that we are to take…" He said as they summon their Aeons…
Tidus ran towards Valefor and punched it a lot of times…
"There's got to be another way! Why can't you protect Yuna!?" He exclaimed…
The scene vanished again and he was back…
"Why am I crying now…? I still can't remember Yuna…" Tidus cried as he saw those scenes.
It was almost coming back at him… All of the memories that he has… It was coming back, but he still can't remember Yuna… He looked for another picture and there he found Lulu's… Lulu was standing there in the scenery as she stares at someone…
That scene suddenly covered the darkness and he was now in
the Farplane….
"Hey! I remember this place… This is where Auron, Jecht, and Braska is in now…" Tidus said to himself.
The Farplane was a foggy area where dead people resides… It shows you your loved ones if you think of them…
He saw himself going towards Lulu… Lulu was staring at the figure that the pyrflies showed her. It was her first love, Chappu…
"Who's that?" Tidus asked Lulu.
"It's… Chappu… We were supposed to get married once he got back to Besaid… But… He died…" Lulu cried.
"What happened?" Tidus asked again.
"You know… Even I do not know what really happened… All I know is that he died using a Machina… You said I look grumpy, but those were the happiest days of my life…" Lulu said as she was forcing herself to stop crying.
"Why not find someone else… Ummm… Like Wakka?" Tidus smiled.
"Why him?" Lulu asked,
"You get along pretty well… You know…" Tidus answered.
"Ha! Getting along isn't enough, not even close…"
It stopped again…
"Lulu… Ya… Chappu… That was
the time I saw you really sad… Well
it's time to look at the last picture…
This is the key to everything…" Tidus said to himself.
He looked at last picture
with Yuna in it. She was smiling at
him. That smile struck him and it gave
him another headache. He fell down on
his knees as he was shaking his head to wear it off. As he was doing this, he remembered something about Yuna…
"Yuna…"
They were on top of the airship and they have just defeated Sin. The fayth stopped dreaming and Tidus was about to fade.
"Hey guys… It's time for me to say goodbye…" Tidus cried.
Yuna shook her head saying she does not want him to leave, but Tidus could not do anything… He just walked away and towards the end of the ship… Yuna ran towards him and hugged him, but she just went through Tidus and fell to the ground… She stood up looking at the foggy brown sky… Tidus walked towards her and hugged her… Somehow, without any explanation… He successfully hugged her. Yuna cried and she said her last words to Tidus…
"I love you." Yuna said to him.
They both cried and Tidus walked towards the edge and jumped…
He was back to his senses and was now back in the Highbridge.
"YUNA!" He shouted as he saw Yuna being grabbed by the guards.
Yuna looked back at him and struggled away from the guards… They both ran to each other and Tidus hugged Yuna as Yuna hugged Tidus. Celine gave a mean look towards them…
"Oh… Yuna… I'm sorry…" Tidus cried.
"It's okay… Tidus… It's okay…" Yuna cried.
"You know what Yuna…?" Tidus asked.
"Now that I'm back to my old self… I forgot to say something to you…" Tidus said.
"What is it?" Yuna asked.
"The smile on your face let me know that you need me…
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me…
The touch of your hands says you'll never leave me…
The touch of your hands says you'll catch me whenever I fall…
You say it best… When you say nothing at all…
I love you, Yuna." Tidus said.
"I know, Tidus. Even if you didn't say it to me… I know… And I'll always love you…" Yuna cried.
Celine suddenly clapped her hands and walked towards them.
"How touching Tidus… But there's nothing you can do… We're still getting married…" Celine laughed…
End of Chapter 9…
