The wild crowds were cheering. The sports anchors were making their silly comebacks and their review on how the game will be. Fans outside were watching the Ultra Huge-Sphere Screen. Also,around Blitzball Season, there we more people in Luca then ever. More activities to join and of course more merchants selling rare equipment, key items, Core Spheres or The Spheres that hide secrets. But what surprised everyone this year was the Besaid Aurochs weren't here. But the team substituting for them were keeping their name famous.
What was that team?
The Gullwings.
The Stadium was full of fans,and the teams were leaving their locker rooms. The Gullwings verses the Pysches,the team of the Al-Bhed.Both team had their players.
The Al-Bhed Pysches had Eigaar,Berrik,Blappa,Judda,Lakkam,and Nimrook. The Gullwings had Piane, Rikku, Brother, Buddy,and Shinra. But the player on the Gullwings team was main focus on everyone's mind. The High Summoner that defeated Sin forever and brought the Eternal Calm. The sphere hunter that who was trying to save Spira once again from their problems. This girl was actually playing a sport which was very rare for her type to play. Who was she?
Yuna.
The water was dark,but the teams were getting at their spots. Yuna recieved the ball,staring her down infront of her was Berrik. Yuna only blinked, staring at him back with her Blue eye and Green eye. Yuna looked behind her shoulder. She saw Paine nod her head at her with a very small smile, Rikku had a big smile and was giving her a wave. She then looked at Buddy, Brother, and Shinra, they either mouthed "good luck" to her, or giving her the thumbs up. She turned back to Berrik, and raised the ball.
"IT'S TIME TO PLAY......DUM DUM DUM! BLITZBALL!!!!!" yelled the anchors, and the lights flashed right on. Yuna swam around Berrik, causing him to begin a challenge. He got ready, Yuna kicked her feet and clutched the ball. Berrik went head first at her, but missed. Yuna sucessfully dodged him.
Yuna passed the ball to Brother. Brother swam past Judda and Lakkam, and threw the ball to Rikku. Rikku dodged Lakkam's Challenge, passing it to Buddy. Buddy passed it to Paine, who swam her way closer to the goal. She slipped the ball out of her hands, getting Yuna ready for a Volley Shot. She threw it up, Yuna got into position. Yuna kicked. She scored!
The scoreboard loaded 1 point to the Gullwings side.
Berrik got the ball, and passed it to Blappa. He swam around to the Gullwings's side of the stadium, being challenged by Rikku and Buddy. Buddy went first, but Blappa dodged him. Rikku went, and sucessfully snatched the ball out of Blappa's hands. Rikku swam around,and was challenged by Judda. Unforunatly, Rikku couldn't swim up or below quick enough, so Judda took the ball from Rikku, making Rikku returned to her normal spot. Judda swam closer to the goal, passing it to Eigaar. Eigaar started his Corkscrew shot, alerting everyone.
"Catch it Shinra!" shouted Rikku.
"You can do it!" cheered Yuna.
"Don't mess this up, punk!" threatened Brother.
Eigaar got in position. He kicked. Shinra caught it!
The game continued.It was 4:45:59. The score was 5-6. The Al-Bhed were winning by 1 point.Buddy was injured because when Eigaar threw the blitzball to Berrik, Buddy got in the way and he was hit in "his own blitzballs." Buddy wasn't hurt from a challenge, but they still called it an injury and called him out. Brother had to be taken out of the game since he was injured in the challenge between him and Lakkam and Blappa.Rikku, Paine, and Yuna were the only players left.
The managers decided to pause the game for a half time.Yuna, Shinra, Paine and Rikku swam out of the stadium back to the locker rooms.There they found Buddy holding an icepack between his legs,and Brother was on a hospital bed.
"Are you two okay?" asked Yuna.
"Yeah,we're fine," answered Buddy.
"This is great! Just great! We are going to lose! LOSE!" whined Brother.
"Oh,shut up." replied Rikku. "We are going to win! I know we will ! I know it!"
"Maybe Rikku is right," simply said Paine,leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.Shinra walked in,with a blitzball.
"We can't the predict the future.All we know is the game is almost over.We either go into overtime, I miss the shot from the opposite players and lose 7-5, or we make a strategy that will bring us out as winners," he explained.
"We have to score two goals.One to tie, and one to put us before the Psyches," Paine replied.
"But we only have 15 minuets! It isn't actually that posible to score two goals!" stammered Rikku.
Buddy said to Rikku, "It isn't impossible-"
"So,what are the GULLWINGS GONNA DO?" Brother yelled.Everyone went quiet.
Finally Yuna walked into the center of the group.
"I think I have a plan,"she said,no longer holding her silence,"Rikku and Paine. You have to work together passing the ball around quickly, trying to confuse the other team.Then I will clear the area, and Paine you will make a clear shot. After that, I will pass it to Rikku, who then will pass it to you Paine. Paine, I need you to set me a volley, even though I'm not going to make a Volley Shot. Then I will kick it high, twirl into a torpedo phase, and hit it with my head. The goalie would have to miss it!"
After that,she clasped her hands together."So. Is my plan good?"
"I think it will work Yuna," slowly appluaded Paine.
"I think that the possibility of this plan working is 90 to 10%. Let's do it!" cheered Shinra.
They danced around,Yuna just stood there with a big smile on her face.A docter and a nurse took Brother and Buddy away to check them out, while Paine and Shinra went back to the stadium.Rikku walked up to Yuna with a curious look on her face.
"Your plan, I bet it's is gonna work. But the high kick, torpedo position, and the head hit? Those moves......they just seem so familiar,ya know?"
Rikku then looked down,so did Yuna.
(Yuna thoughts):"That shot.It's ALMOST the Jecht Shot. The one I saw '''you'''' try to do it once in one of the games.Maybe I can do it. For '''you'''' ?"
Yuna layed her forhead on her hand."I just felt dizzy..."
"Your gonna be alright?...Right?" asked Rikku,putting her hand on her shoulder.
"...Yeah...I'm okay," answered Yuna.
Rikku jerked her shoulder,smiling. Yuna made a weak smile, but then made a big strong smile.
"Blitzball Time! Let's go win!" they cheered.They ran out of the rooms and headed back to the stadium.
The game began, just as Yuna planned it. Rikku recived the ball,passing it to Paine.Paine threw it back,but it was intercepted by Blappa. Blappa swam closer to Shinra,but
Rikku challenged him and stole the ball.Rikku passed it to Paine, who Paine threw the ball to Yuna. Yuna swam around,waiting for Paine to get closer. Yuna also dodged Lakkam's and Berrik's challenges on the way. Paine came, Yuna passed the ball to Paine, who passed it to Rikku, who passed it to Yuna, who passed it to Paine, who
made that clear shot and-
Boom!
Paine's shot made it past Nimrook. The goal was now 6-6. 5 minuets left.
The game continued. Judda and Eigaar had to be taken out of the game since they were injured during challenges. The score was still 6-6. It was time.
Rikku gave a thumbs up to Paine. Paine looked at Yuna and gave her a nod with her head. Yuna nodded back. Paine set the volley.
Yuna made the high kick, and began to twirl. She was about to make the head hit. The shot. The Jecht Shot. '''His''' shot.
Suddenly, Yuna froze.She could hardly move.
Yuna held her head,slowly falling.....
(Inside her mind
Yuna:"What-"
*Flashbacks of Her Childhood*)
Yuna fell further...
(Inside her mind
Yuna:"Is-"
*Flashbacks of her Pilgrimage*)
And further...
(Inside her mind
Yuna:"Happening?"
*Flashbacks of Now*)
????:"Yuna...come with me...."
Yuna:"WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!!!"
Yuna then just stooped everything.She fell to the bottom of the water....
