Chapter 5 The travelers

That night, Yuna didn't find sleep; she felt very uneasy knowing that Tidus' life was threatened by his injury. She kept repeating to herself that he would make it, but it was no use: her mind kept telling her that she had to do something.

Finally, the summoner couldn't bear it anymore and got out of bed. She walked worriedly towards the travel agency's counter but noticed that no one was there. Yuna then heard voices coming from inside the room where Tidus was, she silently approached it wondering what was happening. Was Tidus dead? She thought.

Now she could clearly hear the voices: "Do you think he will live?" a female voice asked worriedly. Then, a voice with a very thick Al Bhed accents none other than Rin's answered: "Hum…It is difficult to tell, but I can sense him struggling to keep it."

Yuna felt much relief that her 'companion' didn't pass away.

"Well… let's let him rest, shall we?" the woman asked. Yuna then ran back to her dormitory with great haste. In only moments she fell back into a deep slumber knowing that he would be safe…

It was fairly early in the morning when she awoke; the summoner could tell it was because the sun had just arisen. Even though Yuna felt drowsy she forced herself to get up. A short while later she came towards the counter of the agency, noticing Rin.

"Ah, good morning summoner Yuna!" the man greeted pleasantly. Hearing her name being pronounced by Rin left her surprised.

"How do you know my name?" she demanded him, bewildered.

"Well, you have Al Bhed blood, am I correct?"

Yuna nodded firmly at his statement.

"Your mother was the leader of our people, forgetting about her and what she did for us would be committing a crime," the Al Bhed explained. "I am truly honored to have you in my agency. The young summoner smiled and bowed. She had almost forgotten why she'd come for in the first place and immediately asked Rin: "How is my guardian?"

"I truly admire him for, he had an outstanding recovery."

"Is he up?" Yuna asked amazed. The man standing before her nodded.

"He is outside if you wish to see him."

Yuna bowed and ran outside to find her guardian handling a long silver sword.

"Tidus!" the young woman cried out as she sprinted towards him. Tidus let go of his polished weapon and embraced her.

"You're alive…" she whispered almost to herself. The young guardian tightened his embrace and murmured "I'm sorry, for all the grief and worry I caused you…Forgive me."

Moments later she pulled away from him and told him: "I forgive you."

Soon they had to continue on with their journey, they bought potions and other curative items that might come in handy on their way to Luca.

On the road, they'd watched their surroundings at the look out for fiends. Suprisingly, no beasts were seen, but both of them stayed alert for any ambushes.

As they continued their quest, not one fiend was to be seen, at least… not until a boisterous screeching was emitted from someone sounding far too brutal to be human.

"Fiend!" shouted Tidus. Yuna stayed in place eyes wide with shock as she cried: "No don't go, its too dangerous!"

Tidus though, didn't seem to hear her and positioned himself for the combat, Yuna sighed and followed him. The screeching beast made his way up to the surface of the ground and roared. It was a dragon like beast, with shiny blue skin and huge powerful looking jaws. Pyre flies gathered near Tidus' left arm and a sword materialized itself in his hand. This amazed the summoner standing next to him, staring with awe at him. A loud growl caused by the monster brought her mind back to the battle that was about to start.

Her guardian made his first move and struck the dragon on his side, but, to his surprise the attack barely managed to make a scratch.

Now Yuna's turn to strike came; she twisted her weapon in her hands and called her dragon. An instant later Bahamut was by their side, battling with them. When the fiend would strike, the Aeon would mostly miss the attack but whenever Bahamut got hit the chances of winning this combat got slimmer. Finally Bahamut unleashed a powerful looking beam that created an explosion. Yuna's eyes shined with hope pleading that the fiend vanish from this world, but the attack only mildly hurt the entity and with one strong blow Bahamut's strong hind legs toppled and the Aeon collapsed, slowly materializing itself into pyre flies. Both the summoner and the guardian knew that the chances of coming out of the battle victorious were too poor, so they quickly retreated. As they ran across the Mihen high road, the titanic beast pulled his long slick body out of the dry earth and flew towards the azure skies. Tidus and Yuna watched as the animal executed his escape and marched away towards the town of Blitz ball: Luca.

Soon they stood before Luca's enormous Blitz ball stadium, even though Tidus didn't express it, she could see that he was a Blitz player; by the way he stared at the sphere, showing envy and eagerness to play.

"Are You a Blitz player?" Yuna asked curiously to her friend. Tidus abruptly turned to face her and answered uneasily: "Well yeah-um no, no actually I don't…"

Yuna knitted her eyebrows together and looked at him as if he were some odd fiend.

"Are you sure?" she asked him quizzically, the young man nodded.

"Positive!"

"If you say so."

They stared at one another for a moment and broke their gazes when the earth beneath them began to shake violently.

"Look! Sin!" a sailor yelled staring fearfully beyond the harbor at the blue agitated sea.

"Sin is coming t'wards us, what d'we do?" another sailor asked panicking.

"We run! Get out of Luca, it'll ravage the whole city!"

Tidus, grabbed Yuna's wrist and sprinted towards Luca's entrance, Tidus looked aback and saw a huge wave making its way towards them. The last thing he aware of before being sucked into oblivion was the thousand year old monster gaining land on the fleeing people and his hand being torn apart from Yuna's…
