"What a fricken drag. This better be Luca or I'm gonna hurt someone from making me walk that damn long path." Rikku wined.
"Yes this is Luca, and just in time for the Blitzball game. I'll be playing so look out for me, ya?" Wakka replied.
"Kimahri and I will sit this one out. We're not really into Blitzball." Lulu said as she walked into town with Kimahri.
"Well I'm off. Wish me luck." Wakka said then walked off to the stadium.
"Well, I guess it's just you and me Yuna. This is your first game right? Don't worry, I'll tell you everything there is to it." Tidus said with a smile.
"HEY! I'm here too! Sooooo mean." Rikku wined.
"Oh, sorry Rikku. I forgot you were here with us. Well, shall we go now?" Tidus asked.
"Yepperz!! Lets get going now!" Rikku said excitedly.
The stadium was amazing. As the water began to fill up, everyone gathered to see the big game began to take their seats and begin a countdown. Yuna, Tidus and Rikku were in the middle of the seating so they could get a good view of everyone.
"Welcome everyone to this years Blitzball tournament! Today we have the Besaid Aurochs against the Guado Glories. Were expecting an amazing game today since the Guado wins every year and the Aurochs are close behind them. Teams, make your way down to the stadium and get ready to blitz!" The announcer announced over the speaker system.
As the game started, the overwhelming fans cheered the teams on. About three minutes into the game, SCORE! One point for the Besaid Aurochs. The crowd goes wild.
"Having fun Yuna?" Tidus asked.
"Yeah! This sport is so amazing." Yuna replied.
"You never saw a Blitz game?" Tidus asked.
"Well not exactly. I only heard about them from villagers." Yuna told him.
"..GO WAKKA! GET THAT BALL!!! SCORE!!! SCORE!!! WHOOO!!!!!" Rikku shouted.
"Damn she can get loud." Tidus said.
Yuna giggled.
Just before Tidus resumed to the game, he noticed someone down at the front gates of the stadium. Someone he knew. Red coat, sunglasses, he continued to stare at him until he left the stadium.
"Tidus? Is something wrong?" Rikku asked. Yuna too looked over at Tidus. Soon after, he stood up and began to run after him. Yuna and Rikku didn't know what to do so they followed Tidus all the way out of the stadium.
As soon as he entered the streets of Luca, Tidus quickly drew out his sword. He knew that he had to be prepared for any situation and besides, he had a good feeling that he was going to show. Yuna and Rikku breathed heavily from running as they finally caught up to him.
After a few seconds, Yuna noticed a shadow emerging towards Tidus and shouted, "Tidus look out! Behind you!"
He quickly turned and just as the man jumped out from an alleyway and began to attack him with his sword. The battle commenced as the two blades struck each other with fury. With his extremely quick reflexes, Tidus knocked the man's blade out of his hands and pinned him on the ground.
"Well done Tidus. It seems you still remember the skills and techniques I taught you in Zanarkand." The man told him.
Tidus looked down at him in shock. Zanarkand? How was he in Zanarkand? Taught him? What was he talking about?
"How...how do you know this? How do you know I'm from Zanarkand?" Tidus asked as he let him up.
"Hmmm..? You don't remember me Tidus? I'm -"
"Sir Auron!!" Yuna shouted, interrupting him. "Your Sir Auron! Finally after all these years, I get to meet you."
Auron is a legendary guardian who, together with High Summoner Braska and Sir Jecht, defeated Sin ten years ago. Auron is a man of few words but is trust worthy.
"I should of known. You're the one who got me into this whole mess! You're the one who knocked me into Sin and now look at what you've done! I ended up in Spira!" Tidus shouted at him in anger.
"It was for a good cause. And besides, you're needed here in Spira. That is why I did what needed to be done." Auron replied.
"The two of you know each other?" Rikku asked.
"Unfortunately." Tidus replied as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"We have no time for unworthy feelings. Hate me if you want but we have bigger problems. I have a message for you about your father-"
"My father." Tidus interrupted in an uninterested tone. "I don't want to hear anything about my father Auron. Forget it."
"Tidus, why don't you listen to what Auron has to say. It might be something important about your father." Yuna said in a gentle tone.
"My father is dead. He died on Braska's pilgrimage so he isn't important to me anymore. He's gone and I'm glad. I HATE HIM!" Tidus told Yuna.
"Tidus.." Yuna said softly. " Tidus, Jecht...isn't dead." Auron simply told him.
Tidus turned to him. "What!? No! That's..that's not possible! Auron! Tell me that's not possible!" Tidus shouted at him.
"Ten years ago when we faced Sin, Jecht sacrificed himself for the Final Aeon. Since Braska defeated Sin before Jecht's soul was fully dissolved, it spared his life for another lifetime. He came back into this time, in Spira, and I fear he will do something to corrupt Spira's cycle." Auron explained.
"Great. Now I heard everything." Tidus joked in anger.
Soon after, Lulu and Kimahri spotted their young summoner outside of the Stadium and rushed over to her.
"Is everything alright Yuna? What's going on?" Lulu asked.
"I will explain later. Now, we must go." Auron said.
"What!? Already!? But we just got here and besides, Wakka is still playing Blitzball. We can't leave without him." Rikku told Auron.
"My other message is for Yuna. With your permission Lady Yuna we are to see a man named Seymour Guado just beyond the Mushroom Rock Road at the top of a cliff. He is said to have a weapon strong enough that might be able to defeat Sin. I doubt this but we are to investigate. Yuna, do you know this man?" Auron explained.
"Eh, yes, I know Seymour Guado. He is a measter of Yevon." Yuna said.
"Once Wakka is done with his Blitzball game we leave, unless of course Lady Yuna wishes just to continue with the pilgrimage." Auron said.
"Yes, of course. We will go and see Measter Seymour. Also Auron, you don't have to call me 'Lady.' As my guardian, you call me Yuna." She replied.
"Of course." Auron said.
Tidus thought to himself. 'Oh great, he's a guardian too. I'm the only one who isn't a guardian! Who knows, maybe Seymour is a guardian too. Heck maybe my father as well!!'
"Tidus!! I'm talking to you!" Rikku shouted at him.
Tidus pulled away from his thoughts and looked at Rikku. "Sorry. What were you saying?" Tidus asked.
"I said to lead Yuna to the Mi'ihen Highroad and we'll meet up with you there." Rikku told him.
"No prob, leave it up to me." Tidus said then began to walk away from everyone with Yuna.
"Wow, the view is beautiful." Yuna said leaning over a rail from a balcony, viewing the beautiful Luca. She then turned around and noticed that Tidus was gone. "Tidus!? Where are you?" She called out.
As she turned her head in a different direction to look, she heard a whistle. Yuna looked down from the balcony and saw Tidus whistling at her.
Yuna giggled. Tidus then ran up the stairs towards her and approached her.
"You're good at whistling." Yuna said still giggling.
"I thought it would be a good idea in case we get separated. What do you think?" Tidus asked.
Yuna nodded her head. "That's clever of you to think that." Yuna replied.
Tidus laughed and looked pound of himself.
"I really hope my pilgrimage can be like this all the time. Just fill of laughter." Yuna said looking over at the city.
"You should just do what I do when I get frustrated. Just shout." Tidus told her.
"Eh, shout? For no reason?" Yuna asked.
"Yeah. Come on, I'll show you." Tidus leaned over the rail of the balcony with Yuna and laughed out loud. He looked over at Yuna. "Okay now you."
Yuna nodded her head and shouted in a laugh out loud. Afterwards, both began to laugh out loud together. : Ah ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!"
The two then erupted in a giggle.
"I can't believe we just did that." Yuna said.
"Your pretty good at it, ya know." Tidus told her. Yuna smiled. Afterwards both turned around and saw Kimahir, Lulu, Rikku, Wakka and Auron all staring at them.
"What!? When did you guys get here?" Tidus paused for a moment then said, "What!? Why are ya all staring at us?"
"We thought you guys might of gone crazy." Wakka joked.
Yuna walked up to Auron. "I'm ready." She told him.
Auron nodded then began to walk with the others down the Mi'ihen Highroad.
After the exhausting walk down the Highroad, just beyond it was Mushroom Rock road where they found the giant cliff where Seymour was supposedly to be. The place was filled with both, Guado and Bevelle soldiers running all over the place completing the preparations for the weapon.
The group began to walk up the cliff when they spotted an usual Guado with long blue hair and a measter robe. The man turned around and walked up to them.
"Yuna? Is that you?" He asked.
"Its been a while Seymour." Yuna replied.
"Yes. Far too long. Welcome to my marvelous project. So glad you can come." Seymour said
"Yea well, if it means defeating Sin then I'm with you all the way." Yuna told him.
"Good. Well shall we then?" Seymour said leading the way to the top of the cliff.
"I hope your guardians will be ready for when Sin shows. It might attack so be on guard." Seymour warned.
"Heh." Auron pouted.
As they all stared out into the bay, the sun beginning to set, the ocean view where Sin would soon appear, Tidus looked over at Yuna who took a deep breath.
"Don't be afraid." Tidus said in a soft tender voice.
Yuna literally melted from his words but didn't show it. "I'm not afraid cause you're here with me." She told him.
"Send out the sin spawn." Seymour ordered. "Yes sir." A soldier replied walking over to a big machine and turning it on.
Seymour grinned evilly. The time was soon. He looked over at Yuna, her beautiful hair glittering from the setting sun's rays, staring out at the water fearing no pain, no worry, almost like she was prepared for what was soon to come. But no one was fully prepare for when Sin would attack.
"Here it comes!" Lulu shouted, warning everyone.
A small tidal wave began to emerge from the open water, slowly making its way towards everyone. All the people, watching the tidal wave grow bigger and moving more rapidly towards them.
Sin emerged from the water and showed its true self. Its hard skin practically made him invincible, his size made him unbeatable and his strength, untouchable. It moved right up to the cliff where Yuna and the others were and slowly began sucking in all the Sin spawn.
"Now! Fire the weapon!" Seymour ordered.
The weapon soon fired electric waves towards Sin and continued until Sin shot at the towers and destroyed the electric waves. Their main weapon, which stood behind Tidus and the others, shot out at Sin and created a barrier around it.
Sin let out a loud cry and broke the barrier.
This is when Tidus, Auron and Wakka moved closer to the edge where they were in range of striking Sin. Auron used 'Armor Break' but it barely dented its skin.
"This is futile. We need another plan." Auron said.
Tidus moved closer and boosted up. He ran up closer to Sin and began to strike him with his 'Energy Rain' attack. This, which was much stronger then 'Slice and Dice' cause great damage. Sin raised his head slightly away from the cliff and began to fall down, towards the water causing a great rumble.
The rumble so strong, it caused Tidus to fall over the edge of the cliff.
Yuna saw this and shouted, "TIDUS!!" She quickly ran over to the edge where she saw him barely hanging onto the edge. Just before he slipped off, Yuna grabbed one of his hands and held him as best as she could.
Tidus looked up at Yuna and saw how much she was struggling to hold him.
"Yuna! Listen to me!! I want you to get out of here! Let go and run! Its not safe here!" Tidus shouted.
"NO! I won't let you go!" Yuna replied. Her hand them slipped a bit.
There wasn't much time before Sin would come back and attack. She needed help, but the others were hurt and weak from the impact. Yuna started to panic, she didn't know what to do.
"Just hang on a little longer..!" Yuna told him.
By this time, Sin was fully regenerated and struck again, using some of its powerful magic, hitting the bottom of the cliff, causing Yuna to let go of Tidus.
"Tidus! NO!!" She yelled in fear watching him fall into the clouded mist caused by Sin. Tears began to fall down her face.
