"WELCOME TO THE 127TH CONSECUTIVE BLLLLLLLLIZTBAAAAAALL CHAMPIONSHIPS" said the announcer
The group had decided to take a stop in Luca to see the blitzball championships. The day was grand the sun was shining. The air smelled of fresh food cooking to serve the millions of people there.
"Man we'd be playin right now if it weren't for those damned Al Bhed!" said Wakka sarcastically looking straight into the eyes of Rikku.
"I told you I knew nothing of this!" screamed Rikku back. Tensions had been running high between the two the whole trip. Wakka was still convinced that is was Rikku's brother who had killed his teammates while Rikku maintained that if it was him she would have heard about it. The whole trip to Luca was spent arguing furiously about the subject until they finally decided to get off the ship and take a break.
"TODAY'S STARTING LINEUP IS:
THE KILIKA BEASTS VS. THE RONSO FAAAAAAAAAANGS,
THE LUCA GOERS VS. THE GUADO GLORIEEEEEEEEEES,
AND FINNALY THE BESAID AUROCHS VS. THE AL BHED SIIIIIIIIIIIKES
"What?" asked Wakka "I thought we got taken out? Oh well I will go tell the committee to take us of the list."
"WAIT!" yelled someone from the crowd. Three men walked up. They had on official auroch fan gear and had flags saying go aurochs.
"We heard what happened to your team but we can't just let the aurochs lose. We can play with you. We have memorized all your plays and we are decent players if we do say so ourselves."
"Well?" asked Wakka looking at the rest of the team. They all gave their nod of approval "Ok then it's settled you can play with us now go get changed" he exclaimed as he threw them all extra uniforms. The team was excited about the game and couldn't wait to play.
They got dressed in a flash and met back out side the stadium where they had there pep talk.
"Now remember what are we here to do huh?"
"WIN, WIN, WIN!" chanted the team in unison.
"Ok here is the plan ya? We have had some bad experiences this year no? but we can overcome that by teamwork. With teamwork we can be takin the cup! So remember pass a lot and get the ball down the court. If we get it down there pass it to me and I will go for the shot. NOW READY 1… 2… 3…"
"AUROCHS!" they yelled as they ran down the stairs into the door that led them into the sphere pool.
"WELCOME TO THE FIRST GAME OF THE DAY THE AL BHED SIKES VS. THE BESAAAIIIID AUROOOOOOOOOOOOCHS! THE AUROCHS WON LAST YEARS CUP AND ARE THE RETURNING CHAMPIONS BUT THEY HAVE HAD A LAST MINUETE CHANGE IN LINEUP DUE TO AN ACCIDENT THAT HAPPENED ON THE ISLAND A COUPLE DAYS AGO. BUT ANYWAY HERE THEY ARE THE BESAAAIIIIIID AUROOOOOOOOCHS." The crowd cheered like mad. The opposing team was already at their end of the sphere pool waiting to play. The aurochs formed up as fast as they could.
"READY… AND… BLITZOOOOOOOOOOFF!" boomed the speakers at every side of the stadium.
Wakka grabbed the ball and swam down the court he was confronted and passed to one of the new guys named Dax. Dax took the ball downfield, passed to Wakka and Wakka then shot.
"GOAL" screamed the speakers; the crowd went wild with cheering. It was a sound Wakka hadn't heard in a long time.
"BLITZOOOOOOOOOOFFFFF" yelled the announcer. The Al Bhed center grabbed the ball and passed down to the left front. The left front had a great pass and shot across to the right front. The right front caught it and went for the shot. It was an invisible shot. He aimed it at the top right of the goal.
"GOAL" the announcer yelled again.
"BLITZOOOOOOOOOOFFFFF" roared the speakers.
But this time Wakka grabbed it and swam down court. He passed to the right front who quickly took the shot before the time ran out.
"GOAL!" shrieked the announcer even louder than ever. The crowd started to yell but it wasn't a yell like a cheer. In fact it was like a scream. Wakka looked up and what he saw devastated him. He saw planes with forbidden machina flying through the air destroying the stadium and everything around it. Then from behind him a ray shot in the sphere pool almost hitting Wakka! Wakka turned around to see another coming directly at him!
