A/N: Hiya again, I love to see that so many of you have reviewed and they are all good. So that is why I have given this chapter a little earlier this time. However chapter 14 will take some time as I have not even started to type it yet. Also for those Final Fantasy fans out there, I am putting a BEWARE SIGN here, this chapter contains a lot about the end of Final Fantasy X and X-2. MAJOR SPOILERS for these games. If you have played these already than you wont miss to much if you have no intention to play these than you have no problem, however if you are playing or intend to play and you don't want to know what happens I will put in marks for you. As always read and review.
Chapter Thirteen : The Awakening
"Whew kid, you keep doing things like this and you won't live long enough to use your new powers."
"What the? Oh man my head, where am I?"
"Well you are technically laid up in the hospital wing at Hogwarts where everyone is worried about you. You know there aren't many wizards that have taken the CRUCIO curse as much as you have and still be sane enough to tell the tale. So why your body is lying in Hogwarts your mind has traveled to the farplane, mainly because I called you here."
As the strange man was talking Harry's vision started to come back to him until it was perfectly clear. Harry than saw who was talking to him.
"Oh it's you."
"Yeah it's me, what do you mean by that?
"Well Tidus, lets just say last time I saw you all you did was make my head hurt with more questions than answers."
"Yeah sorry about that but truth be told I couldn't much because I didn't know much. However now that some of your powers have awoken so to speak and now I can give you your training and some techniques."
"Well that is all good but aren't we in my head?"
"Yeah, your point?"
"Well if I am in my head how will this help?"
"Oh right, your going to have to train here for a while but you will need to continue in your physical world. All the muscle mass you gain in your mind will magically enhance your muscles in your realm so it will come quicker than normal. But you will know and remember everything that I teach you about your powers and other things. So do you have any more questions?"
"Yeah a couple."
"Shoot."
"Well it sounds like I am going to be here a while, how long am I going to be here? And how much time is going to pass in my world?"
"Well you are going to spend about a year here but only about two days will pass in your time."
"What?? How is that possible?"
"Well I can't really say, all I know is that in this realm our time moves much faster than yours. Anything else?"
"Yeah how much time will it take for the muscle that I get here take to form in my realm?"
"Well I think that it will take about 2-3 weeks and some of it will sort of be there when you wake up."
"Cool, by the way where exactly are we?"
"We are in what is called "The Farplane" and well this is the place where people go when they die. In my world and time there is a group of people that discovered a way to travel to the Farplane to visit those who have died. Unfortunately you can only see them, well you can talk to them but we don't know if they can hear us because they cant talk back."
"So does that mean that you are dead?"
"Ha ha, no kid, well to tell you the truth I don't really exist in this time period. Tell you what, are you up for a story?"
"Yeah it might clarify some of those questions that are swirling in my head."
"Yeah probably will, so why don't you sit down and I will begin."
It was than that Harry noticed he was in the same grassy field that he was in the last time he came in contact with Tidus. Tidus than started to tell his story.
Here is the start of parts of the games if you don't want to know what happens skip until you see bold again.
"My story starts off about 7-8000 years in your future. Magic is pretty much a normal event and we don't hide it anymore. Unfortunately that is because some 5000 years in your future, my past a great and terrible war erupted between muggles and wizards. Muggles as you call them learned of your powers and they were jealous. They wanted the power and since they couldn't obtain it they created machines that could harness the same kind of power. One muggle knew too much about the wizardry world and it was him that made the first move. He attacked and killed the minister of magic in London and this is what started the war. London was destroyed in a matter of hours, England was gone in a day. The fighting continued until over three fourths of the population was killed in the fighting. Most of the Earth was destroyed and it wasn't until the wizards captured the man who started the war and told the muggles that it was his fault that the wizards attacked. The muggles signed treaties with the wizards and sentenced the man who started the war to death. About 20 years later there was a threat of a global killer. The muggles feared for their lives and asked the wizards for help. The wizards already knew of the problem well in advance and were already planning for it, they agreed to help. They built caves under the ground and created a ceiling much like the outside sky, with varying weather. They were curious as to what would actually happen so they made it to where they could watch and check up on the sky. It also gave them light. The caves were enormous and the muggles were technologically advanced and helped with the completion, they also brought food and history capsules that were found. When the global killer hit about 3/4 of the remaining population from the war survived and lived in perfect harmony. Everybody looked to the sky and saw a meteor crash into the earth creating a crater about 700 miles in diameter and blew up so much dust and debris that the sun was blocked out for years. However when it reappeared the atmosphere was completely destroyed and they changed the picture in the caves to look more natural. They all checked periodically to see if the planet was livable but weeks turned into months, months turned into years, and years turned into decades. Still they all had to stay underground. They didn't have a problem with food because the wizards could conjure food and they also created areas where food could be grown along with livestock. Eventually muggles fell in love with wizards and vice versa until there pretty much wasn't any class so to speak. Every 50 years they would change the sky to see what the planet actually looked like. But unfortunately the air was not breathable so they stayed underground for somewhere around 500 years. One day they looked in their sky and saw that the planet was indeed healed and people could live up top again. When they arose out of the ground they had doubled the population that went in. Luckily your future descendents were in this cave and survived everything, they didn't know that they could summon the creatures but when they got back to the surface they soon discovered their gift, by accident of course. But after 500 years in caves the gift had spread to other families and generations. But there has only been one person each century that was directly related to you. Anyway, when they all emerged they decided that with a New World they would have a new name. They called their new home Spira and even now some 3000 years later we still call ourselves Spirans. That is your future and my history, now where I come in is about 2000 years after they emerged I was born in a city called Zanarkand, where my father was a famous player of Bliztball (a game played underwater). When I was really young my father upped and disappeared on my mother and myself. I never knew what happened until I was 19. When I turned 19 a creature called Sin came and destroyed our great city of Zanarkand and I was thrust 1000 years into the future. It was there that I meet your descendant Yuna and became one of her guardians. You see she was a summoner and all people who could summon would go on a pilgrimage to the temples to ask for help of the summons. They needed guardians incase something should come up that they couldn't handle. It was this journey that I learned of Sin and my city. It was also where I learned of love and trust. At the end Yuna discovered that in order to defeat Sin forever we had to defeat who was inside and all the creatures we used for summoning. What nobody knew but me was that by destroying the summons we would wake the Fayth and I would disappear. At my prior knowledge it was because the Fayth were dreaming and I was simply a dream but I found out later that it was because I had to help you learn your new powers. You are the youngest person ever to carry such burdens. As for my future I get back with Yuna after she saves Spira again, the Fayth came to her and asked if she wanted to see me. So they will be sending me back to her island when we are done. It will be a surprise for her. I don't know what my future will hold and I am not really sure what your future will hold. All I know is that I have to get you ready for your battle. So lets begin, you got any questions?"
For those who skipped, here is a good place to start again.
"Wow, that's the future, that is just so unreal I don't know what to say."
"Well I can tell you this, when you wake up you won't remember the future."
"Thank God for that, there is no way I could handle that secret. Oh and I have a question, your sword, how did you make it?"
"Well I didn't my good friend Wakka gave it to me, his brother died and it was his sword but I will let you in on a secret, you are the creator of this sword, though you wont remember this when you wake up."
"Whoa, wait why wont I remember?"
"Because you need to create it on your own accord, you will know how, but it will be up to you to make it when it feels right."
"Oh okay, that makes since."
"Okay so are you ready to begin your training?"
"Yeah that would be good, what am I going to learn?"
"Well numerous things which I will leave in surprise but first I will teach you how to mediate. I feel that while it is a "muggle" practice, you need to practice it to fully be able to concentrate and to live a truly happy life. If you can master this art, than you will be able to release your anger and other emotions along with clearing your mind completely. Also I am going to teach you in some other muggle arts but I won't say what else until we are ready."
"Are we going to have any fun while we are here?"
"Ha of course, I have some brooms here and I am going to teach you how to play Blizball but I am sorry to say that you wont be able to play in your world, the technology isn't that advanced yet."
"Alright, can't wait, it sounds like we are going to have some fun."
"Well than lets begin."
And so they began. Tidus was not an easy trainer he awoke early and trained late. Only after Harry had completed a certain task or subject would Tidus let Harry have any fun. Not that it was a bad thing though. Tidus would teach and Harry would learn sometimes asking for more. His thirst for knowledge grew and surpassed even Hermione's which Tidus didn't know how that was possible. At night, which was makeshift, Harry and Tidus would talk about their lives. Tidus would talk about Yuna most of the time and Harry would talk about Hermione most of the time, so they both knew a lot about each other. Turns out Tidus was also a very good and famous Blizball player both in his time and the future that he went to. It was during the Blizball championship that Sin first attacked. It was 1000 years of death and destruction with a few years of calm mixed in. Tidus explained to Harry that there will always be evil and hopefully good will always oppose it. Usually good will always win even if it takes 1000 years for that to happen. Harry learned how to play Blizball and it turned out that he was pretty good, though Tidus wiped the floor with him. However Harry got his revenge when they played Quidditch. Harry had read about some new moves for seekers and he had to pick Tidus up off the ground more than once. Harry grew stronger and stronger and he was getting smarter too. He actually couldn't wait to get back to classes. He began to wonder who the new defense against the dark arts teacher would be. Just about anybody other than Umbridge would be just fine by him. And so the training went on without any problems until there was only a few days left.
"Well Harry I daresay you are more than ready to face Voldemort now, and you know how to summon your friends/creatures. Though I don't know what their original forms are, that's to bad, oh well. I have a surprise for you, well actually two. First is you will going back tomorrow and you will wake up with a major headache I'm sure. But like I said all the information except for the future. And your muscles will take about two to three weeks for your body, reflexes, and stamina to get to where they are right now."
"Wow, so I am going to be just as strong as I am now in only a few weeks and just as smart now when I wake up?"
"Yep, and I have another surprise for you as well."
"Oh? What?"
"Well I know how you feel about the loss of your parents, it isn't an easy thing to live through. So even though they can't speak to you I am going to bring you to your parents and Sirius."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah"
Harry sat there thinking, his parents, what would he say? What could he say? And Sirius, Harry still blamed himself for his death. He didn't know if he could face him.
"What's wrong Harry, I kind of thought you would be happy with this."
"Oh I am it's just that I don't know what to do or say, and Sirius, I still feel bad about him."
"Harry I understand but I can assure you that Sirius knows it was not your fault and he does not blame you."
Harry for some odd reason believed him, and they went to talk to parents and friends. Harry saw Cedric there and told him that he was sorry for what had happened and it looked like that Cedric had nodded to him in understanding. Harry only hoped that he would forgive him. Harry than saw Sirius and broke down in tears, something he had not done in some time. Harry spent some alone time with his parents and Sirius and afterwards thanked Tidus for letting him see his loved ones.
"It's no problem Harry, you know your not a bad guy. Now when we go to sleep and you wake up you will be back in Hogwarts and I will be going back to Yuna, I can't wait too see her reaction. Anyway kid, I am going to miss you, you're a rare breed you know? I consider you a part of my family now."
"Thanks Tidus for everything, you to are a great friend, but I am curious will this be the last time we see each other?"
"More than likely, well at least until I die myself but it will be some time before that happens. You are truly a great wizard."
"Ha, only because of you."
"Well Harry I am going to let you in on a secret in my time just about everybody has the ability to use magic but there are very few who could even come close to what you can do. I can use some magic but I am much better at physical fighting. The Fayth taught me everything that I needed to know to teach you. It is funny half of that stuff I never even heard of until they told me about it."
"Ha now that it is funny. I don't get it though, why you?"
"Truth be told I have no idea, maybe because of my crazy life or because I got transported 1000 years into the future. Who knows but I had fun doing it."
"Yeah me to."
"Alright, well than I suggest we play one more game of Quidditch."
"You're on!"
Harry and Tidus flew around playing Quidditch for a few hours where Harry won hands down. They landed and realized that tomorrow they would be both home.
"Tidus?"
"Yeah Harry?"
"Thanks."
"No problem. Good luck Harry."
"You to."
With that, the now close friends shook hands and gave each other a manly one arm hug. Than they both went to sleep. Harry awoke and he blinked his eyes and looked around he was laying in a bed inside of the hospital wing of Hogwarts. He was finally home.
