First, I wanna list a few things:
Thanks to all who review. ^_^
Odion's original name is suppose to be spelled Rashid, sorry my mistake.
For those who know how they got to Spira, Please, PLEASE, be quiet about it. You'll ruin the plot that way, but if the person wants you to ruin it. FINE, ruin it.
Thanks once more for those who review.
Review PLEASE, all comments, complaints (though don't make it annoying), and advice are appreciated.
For those who don't understand the first chapter, they were at the arcade all the time, until they got transported to Spira.
For this chapter, I'll try to add more of FFX, but since I know more of YGO, it may be centered a bit more on that, plus it is listed under that section.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!, Final Fantasy X, Teletubbies( for sure), and anything else copyrighted or so on, so forth.
FFX: Duelists' Fate
Chapter 2: Stuck in Spira
By KokoroHikaru
"Yeah?" the blonde boy asked, tilting his head and cocked an eyebrow, yet still had a cheerful smile.
All was still for the while, until Tsuki opened her mouth and partially squealing, "Star player of the Zanarkand Abes!! Can I have your autograph?"
Everyone drops to the ground in disbelief except for Tidus and and the misty eyed Tsuki who pulls out a pencil and notepad from her bag. Tidus just rubs the back of his head. "Sure, but you think this is a good time? Another thing, I've never seen you before in Zanarkand or the others with you. Also, I don't think I know where the heck I am."
"I understand, butttttt……… can you just wait here just a sec?" Once the Blitzball player nodded, the strangely-fashioned girl pulls the others into a huddle.
Hmmmmmmm… they seem like an odd bunch. Geez… how'd that kid get his hair to be that spiky? Tidus wonders after see Yugi's hair and scratches his head in puzzlement. Huh, it's definitely a weird world…
Yugi and Ryou were both wringing out their hair. That's when Tsuki began wringing out the water from her own hair. That's the price she pays for having her hair pass her waist. Malik sits grimly against a pillar, not even bothering as his wet, blonde (odd for an Egyptian, huh?) hair continuously dampens his white shirt, although he was already wet. All five present were.
They all glance at each other except for our non-millennium holder, who is examining the save sphere near the bridge. Malik spoke first. "You guys thinking what I'm thinking."
Yugi's stomach growled and came into unison with the others. "That we're all hungry?"
Malik does a little sweatdrop thing. "No, not that…" He blushes as his stomach rumbles. "Even though we are…"
"Everything's quite foggy. You just can't really recall, huh?" The white haired teen turned red as the others gave him an odd glance. "Well, that's how I feeling anyway."
"Weird, I sorta have that feeling. Do you guys also have that feeling?" Yugi gave a nod at Malik. He also had felt the same.
Tsuki gave some thought to it. Huh! She too couldn't figure out how she got here. Only fague memories of unusual smoke and this particular Final Fantasy game appeared in her mind. All this made her remember a little, gold orb that is supposable in her care.
Her eyes grew wide with an unknown expression on her face. Sudden realization? Fear? Shock(is this the same as sudden realization?)? whatever it was, she frantically begins to search her bag for the Amen-Hekai. The noise of her rustling caught the additional Millennium holders', presented at hand, attention.
The girl's eyes looked up and peered at the others, gripping the truth she found out just momentarily. All of the sudden, she starts to shake the three by the collar of their shirt one at a time. "I lost it! I lost the damn thing! My parents are gonna kill me!!"
The Egyptian blonde tried his best to stop her insane attitude, but to no avail. Seriously annoyed and mad, he yells above her screaming. "What did you lose?!? Stop shaking me, you crazy wo--." He's cut off as he's shoved a little to far and lands back into the water.
This didn't go pass Tidus, neither did the screaming before and after Malik's fall into the ocean. They all know each other well, but for me…eh, what the heck am I'm doing? Tidus is put out of his thought as Malik stamps up the stairs, pretty pissed off. With a struggle and some interference, the next thing anyone would know, Malik and Tsuki remember Tidus who stands forgotten near a bridge.
Drawing a truce, even if momentarily, they all had to face the challenge in front of them. Strange though was the yamis were being awfully quiet throughout there ordeal so far. But then Tidus burst out laughing. "Do you people do this all the time?"
"It's not funny that we fight!" Tsuki glares at Tidus. Yugi holds her back before she tries pummeling him. "Anyway, we should find some shelter, right? It's freezing cold out here! So, let's cut short the intros. I'm Haku, Tsuki. That's Bakura, Ryou. And, I bet you know Yugi Motou and Malik now."
"Yeah. Guess we cross this bridge here, huh?" Tidus jerks his finger a the stone bridge that looped over connecting both side together. As most of the group proceeded onto the bridge, Tsuki stopped at the swirly, blue orb known as the save sphere.
Placing her hand over it with its light shooting up which actives its restoration powers, she messes around with its controls to find that one little problem with the sphere. It doesn't have the ability to save…odd. Don't games usually have a save spot? Will just have to be prepared for the worst…
She unties the ribbon holding her hair. With a toss of her head, few droplets of water flew into the sky, glinting nonchalantly even though there was barely light there. Tsuki puts her hair in a tight bun with short, yet lengthy tuffs of lavender hair that streamed out of the bun. Easier swimming this way for her.
As they carried on through, the crackling resembling ice rumbled pass them. Next thing anyone knew, the stone bridge beneath shattered with the force of gravity pulling the crumbled rubble of rock and the group down, causing enormous splashes spraying water everywhere. Buutttttttttt…………

Meanwhile back in the arcade, three of the remaining eight have arrived. Jonouchi sat next to Shizuka right near the sparking machine with the faded letters revealing Final Fantasy X. Anzu would step around it, examining it. Obviously awkward, it does bring suspicion if it's blown up lookin and flickering sparks.
The back door is flung open; entering is Honda, Hiroto carrying a little boy in a bear suit. Jonouchi was first speak out, of course. "Ha, heh heh. You got stuck babysitting Johji again? Geez, can't cha put up one fight against your own sis?"
"Ha, ha, Jonouchi. Anyway, I had no chose she threatened me. Plus, she's got claws." Honda give Jonouchi a glare and hands Johji, who happily accepts, to Anzu.
Anzu, however, isn't too trilled. You see here, er, how can I explain this? Johji, a little boy who still is pretty much considered a baby still, likes, REALLY likes snuggling himself against Anzu (this gets Yugi pretty jealous) and tries to sweet talk her.
"Hiroto! Why are you giving me Johji!? He's your responsibility!" Johji begans to snuggle against Anzu once more. My god, this kid is still a perv…he didn't get any better, huh? Well, Anzu, this isn't gonna be your day.
Honda's reply was only a 'he likes you better.' This makes Anzu smack Honda upside the head.

Back in Spira now, Tidus was the first one to pop his head out of the water. Ripples dispersed from the impact, until nothing but a calm was left in its place. No one else had surface yet.
Where is everybody? At least one other made it, right? He was getting worried. When he about to plunge under to find someone, a white head broke the surface of the calm. The narrowed, brown eyes gazed around slowly, until it was set upon the blitz player.
"Has someone else come up thus far?" Bakura's voice was rather harsh, and gasping for air.
Tidus just looked at Bakura. Something was off to him. Was this the same quiet boy he met earlier with wide, innocent eyes? Maybe he's presently not thinking straight.
About then, Malik and Yugi emerged, taking a deep breath. One person left, yet still not surfaced. Could she be knocked unconscious?
To answer that question, a lavender head bursted out of the water, spraying droplets all about. The grin on her face was replaced by one of shock as three Sagahins, fiends that looks like big, green fishes with rainbow tails and fins, ambushed them, and attacked Tidus, Tsuki, and Bakura first.
Four of the five are going to fight; Yugi can't because he can't hold his breath long enough, and what weapon is available for him except Shadow magic, but what good is it if there's a boundary keeping him from the enemies?
Down in their watery battlefield, Tidus is first to strike, killing the Sagahin to the far left instantly. As swiftly, Bakura and Tsuki, quite unwilling for they couldn't kill it alone, teamed up. Bakura flipped out a knife(Ryou can't really keep him from having a knife, anyhow), striking the middle Sagahin through its tough scales, twisting the insides, along stealing a potion from it. After that and once Bakura cleared the way, Tsuki flung two thick, long senbon (senbon=acupuncture needles) at it; this manage to destroy the fiend, letting it disperse into glowy, rainbow-like ghost orbs floating away.
Trembling passed through the party; a shadow appeared past the sunken ruins. Suddenly, a greater, hecka bigger fiend appeared. A rib-like cage in front of its body made most of its form, and its fins resembled immense, green wings that guide it through the water. That creature whirls up to the last Sagahin standing, and masticates the lesser fiend with its beakish mouth; blood mixes with the water.
Malik, not wanting to be outdid by the others, unsheathed his Millennium Rod to its dagger form and attacked the giant fiend. Two words for this stupidity: bad mistake. He's immediately attack back at, barely holding on to his hit points (which resemble life points).
Bakura throws Malik a potion, healing most of the damage. Tidus issues Tsuki to find an escape route while they keep the monster in one place, and at the same time, themselves alive.
Tsuki's head broken the surface of the water, taking a deep breath of air. Searching frantically for Yugi, she found him looking at her scared and stuttering. "I-I thought I heard r-rumbling and a g-giant s-s-s-shadow pass is—."
"Shut up for the moment." The girl looks at Yugi who's a bit hurt. "Sorry, but listen. I need you to go find an exit out of the water and onto dry land. Hurry, okay? We're trying to hold the gigantic fiend down there at bay."
Yugi nodded and was about to leave when two objects broke the surface of the water. The sarcastic voice of the tomb robber was first heard. "Baka! Why'd you slash me?! Do I look like the monster?!"
Malik looked angry and was rubbing his sore head. "You appeared when I was about to slash it, King of Thieves! And now to think about, the two of you resemble!"
Tsuki and Yugi look in disbelief as the two tried to choke each other in the water, only causing splashes. Tsuki hindered their fight. "If you two are here, who's helping Tidus?!?!?!"
They just give her a blank stare; all of them doing that sweatdrop thing.
Tsuki subjects Yugi to go do the job he got assigned to, while her and the rest goes back to help Tidus.
The Blitzball player seeing himself alone, looked side to side, which rendered him unaware at the moment when he got attack. Did they leave me here? Thinking that his comrades left him, he felt his power was low, and he had a bad cut on his arm.
In seconds, his wound healed and some strength restored. He turns and realized Tsuki threw him a potion. With a small salute and a wink, she attacked the fiend with a senbon, a futile attempt, but managed to succeed her goal to direct its attention on her.
It swung, but missed her by barely. Fortunately, Yugi had dove under, showing her he found an exit. The rest seeing this headed toward the escape, even with the fiend chasing them, now seeming to want to eat them all for a snack.
Ahead exposed a tunnel, big enough for them, but too small for the fiend. Even with their own strength used for heading towards their means of survival, the push behind them from the fiend, flung them quicker into the tunnel with a deadening roar.
Tidus awoke, blinking from the darkness, finding himself back on dry, yet still cold, and stony land. He stumbles to his feet, glancing roughly; he sees Bakura leaning casually alongside a crooked pillar with a few white bangs drip water.
"Should you wake them up?" Tidus asked.
"Maybe we should just leave them here." Bakura's voice mused at the thought. "Yet then that stupid pharaoh may just annoy me later, even though he's been quite quiet for the while. In fact, they all probably be bothersome." The last part more to himself than Tidus.
"You're not get rid of us, tomb thief. Especially, me." Shaking his head and getting to his feet, Malik turns to face the white-hair teen.
"Ah, awake now. Took you long enough."
Tidus steps between them before could break out. "Hey, if anyone noticed, it's even colder in here. I mean, look at all that fog." They all looked, bearing in mind that mist poured in through gaps.
Malik went over to wake Yugi who laid near a pile of rubble. "You know, you could wake up Tsuki instead of standing there acting as useless as you are." He shakes the small boy, but Yugi began muttering 'Granpa, just give me a couple more minutes.' One hard shake pop Yugi out of that dream.
Listening to Malik a bit, the thief began kicking the girl lightly on the shoulder with his foot. When she only groaned and waves her hand incoherently at him, his temper rose. He didn't have time for this, so ended giving her a fair kick between the shoulder blades (ouch).
"Hey! Ow! What's that for?" Tsuki stood up with a slightly aching back. "You didn't have to kick me, baka!"
"With an attitude like yours, should you not deserve that?"
"You….argh!" she throws her hands up, giving up on fighting. With that, the party went up another clusters of stairs. Entering the pairs of doors atop the last few steps, they came into a circular room surrounded by wreckage of rotting wood and stone.
Advancing towards the middle of the area, they approach the remains of a campfire. Tidus gets an idea. "Hey, if we find some flint, we can start a fire and warm up."
Breathing mist, they nod in agreement and went separate ways. Yugi and Tsuki went through a corridor to the left, and Tidus and Malik to the one on the right. Bakura wanders to the save sphere hidden slightly from the entrance, placing his hand over it like Tsuki before, activating it with light shooting up.
Soon after, they met back at the campfire. Tsuki just tuck away a withered bouquet that she thought may be useful. Yugi just mentally chatted with Yami who finally spoke up after the while. How do you think we are going to get out of here, Yugi? If we are stuck in some virtual world, we might have to beat the game to escape.
I know, but there's something strange I can't put my finger on. How did we get here in the first place?
…
Malik and Tidus arrive back, clearly happy with the flint in their hands. This broke Yugi out of his chat with Yami. Striking the flint together, and the sparks catching onto the remains of wood, the flame grew, warming the area. Bakura arrived momentarily.
Tidus lays back on the ground, next thing you know, sleeping. Tsuki warming herself near the flames. Yugi and Malik muttering about hunger pangs. Even unbeknownst to them and forgotten by Tsuki, there was chocolate bars in her bag. The tomb thief gazed at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Once most were asleep, Tidus woke abruptly, noticing the fire was going out. About to wake the others to find something to keep the fire going, a whooshing noise bypass the quietness. The rest woke except Yugi who still snored peacefully, opened their eyes. Staring at the ceiling, a figure move passed in circles, then jumping to the ground. The force of the impact stirred up Yugi, but quickly replaced by Yami with brief glowing of his Puzzle.
The creature before them had sharp, spinally legs of purple and a vicious lizard-like face.
"It's a Klikk!" Tsuki shouted.
"How'd you know?" Tidus asked.
"Um, seen it before, I guess."
Tidus pulls out the longsword, a sword with a strange, red, hooked blade given to by his father, from behind him. Malik pulls out the Rod, and Bakura divulges his knife. Tsuki unhooks a silverish whip from her side, while Yami stood there, doing nothing yet.
The sword wielder was first to strike. A critical hit sending the fiend back a little, flinching. This gave Bakura a chance to swiftly stab and steal a grenade from it, which made him put one of his smirks on his face, but I don't think he knows how it works. The Klikk attacked Tidus. Next, Malik tries to stab the creature, but it dodges and retaliates. Oh, what can I say, you would hear cursing right after that and taunting. Yami's move and he draws a card from his deck box.
"Copycat." A scoff from the tomb thief. "That's my move."
"If it is, why haven't you use it yet?" Yami's Millennium Puzzle glows; Tidus catches this one of the corner of his eye. "So watch from the master." Another sneer from the thief, but he ignores it. "I sum—."
Yami is cut off as the entrances are blown open, sending dust and debris everywhere. The pharaoh caught unbeware of that, lost his balance and, well, tripped and fell flat on his face. He's twitching a bit, while the other Holders laugh their heads off with some jeers from Malik and Bakura.
Despite the fact of that, Tidus didn't pay attention to that, but towards where the doors were. With the smoke clearing, he sees a group standing there with even odder clothing than Tsuki.
A girl stood in front of the group with blonde hair tied up and a pair of goggles. Nearly all of her clothing covered and hugged tightly to her, and she had a set of claws on her right hand. "Fryd'c kuehk uh rana?"
