Tales of Caladbolg

A/N: I do not own FFX(10), although I would like to! I wrote this because getting Tidus' ultimate weapon, the Caladbolg, is soo hard!

CHAPTER 1 - Wobbly Chocobo

Tidus has just reached the Calm Lands, and he smelt the grass. He could see the plains ahead of him; and how they were destroyed, but he didn't really care. It felt so peaceful here. This is the place that I want to stop and think of a way to save Yuna, He thought. He turned and looked, passing his eyes by Auron, who was standing there, as secretive as ever. His eyes met Yuna, who was laying on the ground. Tidus started walking down the slope. He saw a man riding a Chocobo.

The man looked at Tidus and spoke, "Lost? Follow me to Bevelle."

Tidus replied, "No thanks, just came from Bevelle."

The man looked away, and continued riding. He stopped in front of Wakka and said, "Lost? Follow me to Bevelle."

Wakka looked with confusion at Tidus, who shrugged. "Uh, no. I'm with him, ya?" He pointed to Tidus.

Once again the rider continued walking down the road, and stopped at Yuna and spoke once again, "Lost? Follow me to Bevelle."

Yuna looked and replied, "Um, no. I came from there with everyone here. We are a summoner and guardians on a pilgramage."

The rider seemed to ignore her words and moved on. He stopped in front of Auron, who seemed annoyed. "Lost? Follow me to-"

Auron cut him off, "Shut up, and go to Bevelle. We are not interested in following you, so move on."

The chocobo rider seemed unfazed by Auron's words, and continued down to Rikku.

"Um, no. I'm not lost." Rikku said before he could say anything.

"Lost? Follow me to Bevelle." He spoke.

"Shut up!" Rikku said, and she swiftly mugged the Chocobo Rider for 400 gil! The rider seemed not to care. They all stared as the rider reached the path to Bevelle. When he got there, he did a U-turn and started walking back to the Calm Lands.

"What's this?" Tidus asked anyone, but directed it mostly towards Lulu.

"An Al Bhed rest area." Lulu swiftly replied.

"Oh." Tidus said, glancing at Wakka. Tidus moved towards the Save Point, and it lit up in a water-like way.

Tidus noticed a person on another Chocobo. He was curious as to whether or not all Chocobo riders were going to Bevelle, so he walked up to her.

"Hey, miss." Tidus said, "That's a pretty tame Chocobo. You going somewhere?"

"Thanks. But no, I'm not going anywhere." She replied, and out of nowhere started to explain a chocobo's usage, "We use chocobos to traverse the Calm Lands without encountering fiends. Want to ride one my trained ones?"

Tidus thought to himself, and answered, "Can I train one?"

"Sure." She said, "By the way, my names trainer."

Trainer? Oh-kaay... Tidus thought to himself, but not to be rude, he replid, "Tidus. Pleased to meet ya'!"

Trained set up here chocobo to stand perfectly still on one side and stood on the other.

"Try and navigate the chocobo between me and my prized 1st Place chocobo." Trainer instructed.

Why does she always have to rub it in? Tidus thought. "Alright." Tidus said in reply to the instructions.

"Also, try not to destroy these balloons I set up as guidelines, they cost gil at that Al Bhed shop!" Trainer said.

"Righto!" Tidus replied, eager to start training.

"3...2...1...Go!" Trainer counted down.

Tidus's chocobo zoomed fast ahead, leaving Tidus breathless.

Sweet! I've never felt anything so exhilirating! Tidus thought in the first few seconds of riding. Then the madness kicked in. The chocobo swerved right and left, and Tidus was struggling to keep it steady. Tidus was almost flung right off the bird, as it made a sharp turn. Tidus crossed the finish line.

"Great, you crossed the finish line!" Trainer said, "I marked you at 13.7 seconds... try again, to get 12.8 seconds!"

"Are you kidding me!" Tidus said, holding his head, "I already have a concussion!"

"Hey!" Trainer snapped, "You want to train a chocobo, or did I spend 188 gil on balloons for nothing! Or are you a wuss and can't handle riding a bird! It's just a bird! A harmless bird!"

"Hey!" Tidus replied, angrily, "I'll show you! Nobody calls me a wuss!"

"OK! 3...2...1...Go!" Trainer counted down, again.

Tidus zoomed of once again. He was experiencing the same zig-zags of the first ride, only it felt his brain was melting into his bones. He felt like he was going to blow chunks...

Tidus, in his illness, accidentally kicked the chocobo. It felt this kick and ran even faster than before, and Tidus felt his head about to rip off.

His chocobo crossed the finish line.

"Good, you crossed it!" Trainer said, "I clocked you at 12.9 seconds... try harder."

"I want the creme filled cookies, mommy," Tidus said after his head got banged around, "And I want daddy dead...!"

"Uh, Tidus?" Trainer asked him, "You OK?"

Tidus shook his head, trying desperatly to regain his sanity, "Yeah... fine."
"You got a 12.9... try harder." She said.

Silent, and staring into her eyes, with a smirk on his face, he asked, "Come again?"

"You got a 12.9, do it over." She replied, "1 millasecond off."

His face did not change, smirk was still on his face, "You kidding...?"

She shook her head. Tidus had to stop himself from pulling out the Brotherhodd, and slicing her head off. Can't she make an exception? Does she always have to be so bitchy? Tidus thought to himself.

"Ready? 3...2...1... Go!" She counted down once again.

This time, Tidus had control over his chocobo. He was determined to win. He did not want any further brain damage done to himself. His chocobo flew across the course, and ran perfectly.

He crossed the finish line.

"Awesome! I clocked you at 2.9 seconds!" Trainer said, gleefully.

"YES!" Tidus screamed out, "AWESOME! YEAH! BRING ON THE PAIN! BRING IT ON!"

He looked at his party. expecting to see smiling faces, and congratulations. Instead, he saw his teammates staring at him in blatant concern.

"What?" Tidus asked, "Is there food on my face?" Tidus wiped his cheek.

"No, we just thought you went crazy again, ya?" Wakka replied.

"No, I just won the chocobo gam- excuse me? Again?" Tidus said, confused.

"Um... no, I just meant..." Waka said confused. Wakka remained silent, looking at the other guardians for backup. He recieved none. He stayed silent, and finally said one word, "...ya?"

"Are you ready for this next training session?" Trainer said, "Dodger Chocobo."

"Dodger Chocobo... what is.. that...?"

A smirk appeared over her face. "Oh... not a big deal...?" She snickered.

A/N: Ya... getting Caladbolg is so hard... Chapter 2 is about Dodger Chocobo... yeah... I'm still so angry about getting a better score than 0:00.00 to get a Sun Sigil... ugh...
