Chapter V: In Besaid

He tasted salt water in his mouth as he awoke. He was lying face down in the water by a beach. He stood up, breathing hard, coughing up salt water, "Geez, he brings me back alive just to try and kill me again."

Tidus looked around him and ahead at the land, "Besaid?!"

He ran up to the beach and found that Auron, Jecht, and Braska had washed ashore, all unconscious. He walked over to his father and shook him, with no result, "Kuso, damn guy sleeps like a rock." He kicked Jecht in the side, hard. Jecht groaned and sat up, "Huh? Where am I?"

Tidus explained the situation to him.

Besaid?! This is Besaid??? We're alive?! There's a new enemy?"

"Yes, yes, now wake up the others!" Tidus said annoyed, 'Why did he have to come along?'

When Braska and Auron were awake, and had everything explained to them, they headed toward the village.

The path seemed like forever, until they finally reached their destination, which held horrified people.

"G-ghosts!" An old man yelled.

Everyone screamed, panicked, and ran into their tents, except for one person.

Gatta of the crusaders came running out of the tent with a spear, though he didn't think a spear would do much to a ghost. He stopped in his tracks, "S-sir Tidus? Sir Auron? Sir Jecht? Lord Braska?! What the hell is going on?!"

"It's okay--," Tidus began.

"Okay? Okay? This is not okay! You're supposed to be dead, remember?"

"Maybe if you let me talk, I can explain!"

Tidus figured he'd have a lot of explaining to do today and told him why they were here.

"A new enemy? Awesome! I wanna fight it!"

"You can't," Auron said.

"Aww, why not?"

"Have you ever helped defeat Sin?" Tidus asked Gatta.

There was silence.

"I didn't think so. Only people that have, have any chance of defeating it."

"Oh well."

"Do you know where Yuna is?" Auron asked getting to the point, tired of listening to Tidus and Gatta.

"Well, last I heard, she was in Luca."

"Let's go."

"Hey, wait a minute, how are we gunna get there?" Jecht asked.

"You're in luck, there's a boat heading for Luca that should leave any minute now," Gatta said.

"Then let's go," Braska said and began heading back toward the shore.

"Hey, one more thing," Tidus said stopping, "Where's Wakka?"

"He's in Luca playing blitzball."

"Okay thanks, bye."

"Bye."

Tidus ran to catch up with the others.

When they got to the dock there were a lot of people going to Luca to watch the tournament. They managed to get on the ship and be on their way to Luca.

She didn't feel any better now that she had visited the Farplane. If anything, she felt more depressed.

Yuna looked out the window of the airship, and down at the Mi'ihen Highroad. They were almost to Luca, she could see the blitzball arena looming ahead.

"Yunie! You're supposed to be happy!" Rikku said worriedly.

"I am!" Yuna lied.

Rikku walked away shaking her head.

They descended down toward dock 4 and landed.

When they got out, they saw that a ship from Besaid was parked at another dock.
