Tidus looked at his home. It looked different. "They must've done some work 'round this place after the attack." he said to himself. He turned to Yuna. "Well," he said to her. "We're in Zanarkand." Yuna smiled, looking out to the streets. "This isn't real." she said. "Yes it is." Tidus answered. "It's my home."
"I don't know if I can stay here for long." Yuna said sadly. "No offence, but I have a bad feeling about Zanarkand."
Tidus knew what she was talking about. This couldn't all be real. In Spira, Zanarkand is ruins. And Yuna's used to living in Spira. She thinks sometime in the future her fantasy will be gone. Along with her.
Yuna turned to Tidus, and he turned to her. "I'm having regrets." she told him. "I'm not sure if I want t o stay here." Tidus answered, "If something happens," he took Yuna in his arms. "I'll be there."
Yuna looked at him. "I can't stay here, Tidus." she answered. She choked back some tears. "Zanarkand's gonna be destroyed." Tidus looked at her.
"Live your life 'till fate tells it to leave." he told her. He looked up. "I don't think that time is now." he assured her. He looked at Yuna again and smiled. "So live your life to the fullest."
"Bravo, bravo....!" called voices. Both of them looked around. Auron, Jecht and Lord Braska were standing in one of the wet streets. Both Tidus and Yuna blushed and let go of each other.
Jecht came over. "C'mon you two!" he shouted. "Our house isn't a stroll away!" "Alright, alright." Tidus answered. "You don't have to yell." Jecht smiled with glory (for who knows why) and ran over to Auron and Braska.
-~-~-~-~-
After about thirty minutes of walking, they reaached Tidus and Jecht's house (A/N: dunno their last names).
When they got inside, Tidus laid down on the couch, Jecht went into a room somewhere, Yuna and Braska went into the kitchen, and Auron looked at some stuff near the entrance stairway.
"Watch lookin' at there, Auron?" Tidus asked, looking at the ceiling. He looked at Auron, who was staring deeply into a white orb that had what appeared to be orange clouds inside.
"Auron? Auron?" Tidus snapped at him, kicked him, shoved him, but nothing could break the spell cast by the orb. "Hey, Auron! Look at...huh?" Jecht had left of the room he was in with a blue-colored-with-white-lace book. Tidus guessed it was his baby pictures.
Jecht saw Auron gazing mindelessly into the orb. "Don't touch that!" Jecht said, but he knew it was too late. The orb started to chant something.
"When a mindless no one breaks the spell...
True horror will lash upon his well...
They who looks sees the face of horror.....
And thanks to them so will every other...."
Yuna and Braska heard this and ran over there right away. Yuna cried, "I knew it would happen soon!"
"Thanks to them...." Braska whispered to himself. He turned to Jecht. "The stories we saw!" he exclaimed to him. "The ones in Zanarkand Ruins! The story!" Jecht looked at him like he was an alien. "Ugh." moaned Braska. "Let me explain.
"In Zanarkand Ruins, Jecht and I saw this broken orb that chanted these things in Zanarkand Ruins. Dark things were moving across it. We didn't know what it was, until suddenly it broke and released all these fiends into the ruins. We couldn't defeat them, so we ran."
"Oh, THAT orb....." Jecht said.
-~-~-~-~-
To rest from all the chaos, Yuna and Tidus sat on the top of Tidus's house and looked out to the sea.
"This is beautiful." Yuna said, looking out onto the horizon. "I'm glad you like it." Tidus said, putting his arm around her. Yuna pointed to some lights on the other side of the ocean. "Bevelle." Yuna said. "The winner."
"Are you gonna stay in Zanarkand?" asked Tidus coolly. Yuna knew that his calm tone of voice hid his true feelings. She smiled. "I'm sorry, but no. I can't." Tidus looked down. "I understand." He looked back up. "You can choose your fate. Usually." He turned to Yuna. They kissed one more time.
~X~
"Yuna?!" called Braska. They looked at the entrance of Tidus's house and they saw Lord Braska and Jecht standing there, looking for Yuna.
"What's happening?" Tidus asked Yuna. Yuna smiled and said, "Before I left to go up here, I told my father that I wanted to leave. I'm sorry."
"I know you are." Tidus said. He smiled and hugged Yuna. She smiled at him and left.
-~-~-~-~-
"Now." Jecht instructed. "Just go in here!" Lord Braska went first. He walked into the Zanarkand Blitzball Stadium. Before he walked completely in, he turned to Jecht and said, "Thanks, man." He turned to Yuna. "See you there." he said to her. He walked into the stadium and disappeared in a flash of light.
Yuna turned to Jecht. "Don't worry." he assured her. "You're in good hands." Yuna smiled and walked into the stadium. Then she turned around and said, "Tell Tidus I love him.". Jecht smiled and nodded. Yuna nodded her head and walked into the stadium.
.....:::::FLASH:::::.....
Jecht looked happily at the stadium.
Suddenly, a giant black shadow slashed across the stadium, collapsing the top part. People came out of their houses. They shouted things in horror.
"This is the work of Bevelle!"
"Everyone, run for cover!"
He heard children cry and people screaming.
"I have to get Tidus!" Jecht shouted. He ran back to his house to save Tidus and Auron.
