"SIN!!" another crew member yelled. I ran up the remaining stairs and looked out towards the sea. There was a giant monster in the ocean, and it was trying to knock the boat over!! I ran up onto the deck. Everyone was frantic! Suddenly, the boat violently rocked and almost threw a couple of people right off.

I made my way over to everyone, and we got ready to fight. Those small monsters with wings flocked off of the huge monster. I remember those! "Agh! Those darn Sinscale are going to be a nuisance, ya!" Wakka yelled. Oh yeah… I remember trying to scan one of them! Sinscale… Hmm… I got my weapon ready, I was ready to fight. We immediately started fighting, and Lulu suggested we go after Sin, and not bother with the smaller ones. I took a few shots at Sin and was successful, but my magic was much stronger than my Valkyrie. Soon after, Yuna summoned her Aeon Valefor.

After a while, Sin stopped fighting back and went under water. Moments later though, he came back up and made the boat sway again, this time almost knocking Tidus off! He was holding onto the railing, I knew he was going to slip any second. I tried to make my way over to Tidus, but was unsuccessful in doing so. Sin whipped the boat and I went flying over the edge. I landed sideways in the water, and the current pulled me under even further.

It was very strange because I was able to breathe while under water. I opened my eyes to look around, and I saw Tidus floating lifelessly. Wakka was swimming towards him, so I swam towards them both. He used a Phoenix Down on Tidus, and he woke up. Before we were able to reach the surface, we encountered another monster! Wakka, Tidus and I all got ready for the battle. Again, those annoying Sinscales showed up!

Wakka began with an attack that blinded the big monster. This was a good attack because now the monster would have a harder time trying to attack us. Next, Tidus did some damage with his sword, but it wasn't a lot. My turn was next. I wasn't sure if I should use magic, or my Valkyrie… I decided to try attacking with my Valkyrie, but it didn't do a lot of damage. It inflicted very little. This was going to be a tough battle!

The monster attacked Wakka, but missed. Again, it was Wakka's turn, and he attacked it with his Blitzball. I learned a lot about Blitzball. It seemed like a really fun sport to play. Wakka told me that there were many different Blitzball's used more weapons, and that there was one Legendary Blitzball that was so powerful it could knock out an enemy in one shot! I can believe that because I used to be able to kill monsters in one shot using my Shooting Star. Now my weapon hardly does any damage at all.

Again, Tidus attacked and inflicted very little. The monster attacked me but was unsuccessful. After it's turn, it was not blind anymore, and it was my turn. This time I tried using magic. My magic was much stronger. This monster didn't seem to have a distinct weakness, so I decided to use Meltdown. It inflicted a lot of damage, but the monster was not yet dead. After my turn, the monster took a turn and used a 'Blender' attack that caused a great deal of damage! Right after, the Sinscales each took a turn and knocked out Tidus. Wakka used a Phoenix Down, and I attacked the big monster again using Meltdown. Finally, it disappeared, and the battle was over.

Quickly, we resurfaced and got back up onto the boat. I squeezed some of the water out of my hair and clothes. I was completely drenched. It was a good thing the sun was out, otherwise I would never dry! I sighed and looked at everyone else. Wakka stared at me in amazement. "What was that magic you used, ya?" he asked. He seemed very surprised by my magic.

"That was Meltdown," I replied.

"I have never heard of that kind of magic," he told me. This was quite odd. I am sure that if I use my magic here, everyone else has seen that magic before… Why else would I be able to use magic never seen before? It is quite odd… Wakka shrugged it off and we continued the boat ride like nothing had happened. I wonder where Sin went to?

I leaned on a railing on the side of the boat. I stared out to the beautiful blue ocean. It was now calm, and the sound of seagulls could be heard. The sound of the ocean was calming. I smiled as I thought about what I would say to Squall when I get back to him… That is, if I ever get back to him… I know I will find my way back to him somehow. And when I do, I will have quite a story to tell him. I miss him so much. Even though it has only been a couple of days since I last saw him, it seems like it had been many years… It feels like years have passed since I last saw his face. But I know I will see him again soon.

I looked around on the deck and saw Tidus talking to Yuna. Lulu was talking to Wakka, and Kimahri was nowhere in sight. Kimahri is so quite… I wonder why? I noticed that he had a broken horn. Is it supposed to be like that, or did he break it somehow? Hmm… Well, I will probably find out sooner or later. But I wonder why he is so quite… I haven't head him talk once! I sighed and looked back out into the calm blue ocean. "I'm coming back soon, Squall," I whispered quietly to myself.
