Chapter 2- The Nightmare Begins

He was falling...and as he fell he began to fade away into death. A bright light shone as if it were a path lighting his way, away from the darkness of death. He ran down the path of light...until...he reached the gates of a heaven known only as the farplane. As he was about to step through the gates of light, a sudden darkness began to eclipse the world around him. He began to fall through the darkness.....and as he fell he began to scream, but it was a meaningless effort for it was a soundless scream drowned by darkness. He heard a laugh within the darkness, a laugh that could be pure evil. A sudden light flashed, banishing the darkness and it's laugh away. Then he felt infinite pain...like never before.

Tidus: "Aaahhhhhhh!"

Tidus sat up in bed, sweating. As he looked around he noticed that he was in a room similar to his own in Zanarkand. He was laying in bed, shirtless, with his abs and right shoulder bandaged up. He heard rushed footsteps stop at the door, and as the door opened Yuna rushed in.

Tidus: "Yuna...."

But before he could he could say anything else she ran up to him and hugged him.

Tidus: "Hey! Owww!!"

Yuna: "Oh, sorry.....it's just that.....I missed you so much...."

Tidus: "I know.....but now I'm here and I'm never leaving you again."

He leaned forward and kissed her, but she pulled away from him slowly.

Yuna: "But, what happened to you? Why did you scream?"

Tidus: "It was nothing....just a nightmare."

Yuna: "You sure."

Tidus: "Yeah.."

Yuna: "How did you come back...to the real world?"

Tidus: "I don't know. All I can remember is falling. Does anybody else know that I'm here?"

Yuna: "Well...not exactly...."

Yuna walked across the room and grabbed Tidus's shirt. She then began to walk back across the room.

Yuna: "...but let's not take a chance."

She handed him his shirt and sat down next to him on the bed. As he began to put his shirt on, they heard a knock on the door.

Wakka: "Yuna! Ya ready? We gotta go!"

Wakka opened the door and what he saw made him stare.

Wakka: "That you, brudda?

Tidus: "Uhh...well...yeah."

Wakka: "But, wadda ya do'in here? Ya suppose to be dead, ya?"

Tidus: "I don't really know."

Wakka: "Well I'm just glad your back brudda."

Yuna: "We better leave now guys or we'll be late."

Yuna walked out the door followed by Tidus and Wakka. Soon enough they were all walking down the streets of Zanarkand toward the blitzball stadium.

Tidus: "So where exactly are we?"

Yuna: "You mean you don't recognize it? Well I guess you wouldn't......so well this is Zanarkand."

Tidus: "This is Zanarkand? No wonder it seemed so familiar...........so...where are we going?"

Wakka: "To play some blitzball."

Tidus: "So who are you guys playing?"

Wakka: "Well it's us gainst those Luca Goers....wanna play brudda? Know ya want to."

Tidus: "Naw, not really."

Yuna and Tidus waved goodbye to Wakka as they walked toward the stands. They walked down to the front row, sat down and waited for the match to begin.

Tidus: "Yuna, I wanted to ask you...how long was I actually gone for?'

Yuna: "Almost a year."

Tidus: "Oh..."

Yuna: "I missed you, alot."

Tidus: "Well now I'm back and I'm never leaving you again."

Tidus leaned forward and hugged Yuna.

Yuna: "I'm glad your back."

Tidus then backed away and looked into her eyes. "I really do love her...", he thought to himself. He began to slowly lean forward towards her, he then put his lips to hers. Yuna closed her eyes and hugged him as they were both kissing. All of a sudden, as they were kissing, Tidus saw a strange image in his mind. He saw an evil darkness spreading over Zanarkand, the same darkness from his dream. His body then went limp and he fell to the ground unconscious.

Yuna: "Tidus!"

Yuna dropped to her knees and shook Tidus frantically, trying to wake him up.

Yuna: "What happened?!"

Tidus stirred and then weakly opened his eyes.

Tidus: "Y..yu..Yuna...get..outta...here..something's..coming..."

Tidus then fainted onto Yuna's lap. All of a sudden, Yuna felt the same dark presence that she had feared so greatly, was back again. The ground began to shake violently and a form hovered above the stadium. The people around her began to scream and panic, because.....Sin had finally returned.

Wakka: "Yuna!"

Yuna turned around to see a soaking wet Wakka running towards her.

Wakka: "We gotta get outta here!"

Yuna: "I know but we've got to help Tidus!"

Wakka: "I got it! Ya just gotta keep run'nin!"

Yuna: "Okay!"

Yuna ran off while Wakka lifted Tidus's limp body onto his shoulders. He began to run after Yuna but Sin then fired it's energy spikes at the stadium, blowing it up. Both Tidus and Wakka were engulfed by the explosion. Yuna turned around and stared into the explosion.

Yuna: "Tidus!!! Wakka!!!"

She realized that her efforts alone would be futile, so she ran towards the hotel for help. She ran through the front doors, up the stairs and then burst in to the room where Rikku and Lulu were talking. Rikku was wearing her new outfit, a yellow bikini top and a small jade green mini skirt over the bikini bottom. She had her hair completely braided and wore a blue head band similar to Wakka's. Lulu looked the same as she always has except for the fact that she was now pregnant and had a considerably large belly.

Yuna: "We've got to go, NOW! Sin is back! And there's no time to explain but Tidus is back but he and Wakka might be dead if we don't hurry!"

Lulu: "What do you mean Wakka might be dead?!?!"

Rikku: "Tidus is back?!?!"

Yuna: "There's no time for questions! We have to go!"

Yuna, Lulu and Rikku ran out of the room in a panic.

FADE OUT-

Tidus slowly opened his eyes and began to get up. He saw the blitzball stadium in ruins, but he saw the world around him as if he was in another dimension.....a dimension of light. He saw a crippled form on the ground not to far away. He ran toward the body to recognize the figure sprawled on the floor as Wakka. He saw where the energy spikes Sin had released had impaled him. He fell to his knees as he stared at the body of Wakka and began sobbing. He placed his hand over the wound, with his tears falling upon it. His hand suddenly began to glow, emitting a bright light. The light spread from his hand to engulf Wakka's body. Tidus saw the wound heal instantly before his eyes. He then suddenly began to feel dizzy, the whole world began to swirl within his eyes and fade. He then collapsed onto the stone cold floor.
