Author's note: As far as I am concerned, FFX-2 does not happen, or if it does, it has not happened yet.

I own no characters besides the Ultimate God of Destruction. Do I even own him? I might have to consult my lawyers on that, I'm not sure.

MAJOR PLOT TWIST IN THIS CHAPTER SO YAY FOR ME.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Rikku, oh my god it's you!" Yuna yelled out, running toward her guardian and friend. She was genuinely happy to see her cousin.

"Yunnie I'm so glad to see you!" The blonde yelled out, equally as excited to see Yuna. It had been some time since they'd last seen each other. They embraced each other in a warm hug, as close family often does. They paid no attention to the stares they were getting from the crowd. After all, who wouldn't stare at a blonde chick with incredible short shorts? Dumbledore took a moment to examine the new 'visitor'.

Auron trailed Rikku, amazed at how much energy the girl had. She certainly had spunk. She might not have been the strongest guardian, but he had to admit he admired her enthusiastic and caring personality. She would hang tenaciously to a goal until it was accomplished.

"Yuna, I found him. Tidus, he's here.with us, in this building!" the Al Bhed squealed.

"What??" Yuna responded, not sure if she had heard right. How could this be? Yuna had finally accepted the fact that Tidus had departed to the farplane, but Yuna knew Rikku would not lie. Yuna felt an emotion from deep within her heart that she could not identify. Love, and happiness mixed with bitter nostalgia and fear.fear that he might leave again.

"Excuse me, you filthy intruders," Snape yelled as he approached the Spirians. He drew his wand. "But how do we know you are not working for the Dark Lord himself? No one is allowed to enter this hall, and you barge in, ready to attack! You are Deatheaters!!"

Before Auron or Kimahri could grab their weapons, Rikku pulled out a pistol, aimed directly for Snape's forehead. He gulped and slowly put away his wand. "How rude, don't you know how to treat a lady? We're here to help, but first I have something important I need to tell Yuna. Yuna?"

Yuna was in a daydream. "Tidus is here? How can that be? Why here? Does he know I'm here? How. could someone I've longed for so long suddenly return so. abruptly?"

"Yuna? Oh Yunnie, is anybody home?" Rikku sang. "Unfortunately, I didn't come all the way out here for fun.I've got bad news."

The Al Bhed changed her whole attitude. She became solemn and serious. "The Farplane's wall was broken."

"What?!" each of the Spirians gasped. Everyone else in the room, of course, acted confused, wondering, of course, what the hell a "Farplane" was. Most figured it was some flying device that had broken down. Dumbledore's eyes light up. He was the only wizard who understood what that meant.

"Fiends are running wild throughout Spira. Thousands of them.There's nothing we can do to stop them. We've all tried are hardest, but there wasn't much we could do. They've ravaged the lands, destroyed the temples and leveled our villages. Yuna, Spira needs you again." Rikku stated.

"How far have they spread?" Lulu asked, but all Rikku could do was shake her head and whisper, "Everywhere. Dad thinks. that soon they'll arrive here."

To everyone's surprise, Dumbledore stepped forth. He spoke to the Spirians in a loud, clear voice. Even Auron had to respect the old geezer for his commanding aura. "If the Farplane has been broken, than the situation is far worse than I expected. Is there someone among you who has a clear report of the situation?"

Just than, a bald man wearing a yellow jumpsuit entered the room. "If you're look'en info on them fiends, I got it right here!"

"Good," Dumbedore said, "I'd like to speak with you in private, sir. Please follow me." He led Cid outside, towards his office. "As for the teachers and students, you are all to follow the directions of Miss Yuna and her company. Listen to them as you would listen to myself." The school was in shock. Snape was in a fury. "Headmaster, what are you doing?! The school needs you, you are going to just, leave us in the hands of these.newcomers?!"

"Yes, I am, for they are the only people that can save us." He gave a glance at each of the Spirians; Yuna, Lulu, Kimahri, Auron, and Rikku. "Our future lies in their capable hands."

A few minutes after their beloved headmaster left the room to confer with the stranger, every student was devoid of common sense. Who could blame them? The dark lord, Voldemort, was on his way there, their headmaster had left and their lives were now in the hands of strange newcomers who didn't even use wands. Yuna tried to put them at ease with soothing words, but she might have been talking to the walls. Kimahri and Auron just stood against the wall, holding their trusty weapons, ready to spill some blood if necessary. Lulu backed up Yuna in trying to calm the students down, although she was a lot less soothing than Yuna. Rikku checked her gear, making sure she had all the tools necessary for a battle. Meanwhile, across the room, some other people were making their own preparations. Draco Malfoy seemed oddly calm for what was going on, holding his wand in his hand. A table over, Harry Potter also seemed ready for what he knew was coming. His scar ached, but he held his wand with bravery.

Than, the moment of truth arrived, as the doors of the Great Door opened again, for what could have been the last time.
