A/N: It's Tetsu-roku again! I just thought another fan fiction would be great. Actually, I was bored out of my mind. So I just thought, why not make a story with Tetsu-roku and his adventures in Spira? So, here it is! Enjoy!

Summary: Tetsu-roku was an average normal everyday human. Until he discovers a secret that could change his life forever.

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

"Hey, wake up you sleepyhead!"

I woke up to see who it was. It was my 14-year-old sister, Ronoa in her pajamas. I turned towards the alarm clock. 5:30 AM. Damn it. Waking up at 5:30 isn't a good thing for me, especially since it's Sunday. I grumbled as I got out of bed. As usual, Ronoa was bouncing off the walls. There is only one person in the world that would by hyper at 5:30 in the morning, and it just has to be my little sister. "What do you want, Ronoa?" I ask her.

"Don't you remember?" She seems hurt by this.

"Well, if I wake you up at 2 in the morning, we'll see if you can remember something important," I reply. Like this thing she wants me to remember is important.

Ronoa whines. I look at her apologetically. I can never stay mad at her forever. "Look, I'm sorry I don't remember. Refresh my memory."

Ronoa looks at me. She breaks into a huge grin. I gulp. When she smiles like that, it's not a good thing. "Today," she says slowly, "you take me to the aquarium! Brother? Are you all right?" she asks as I plopped down into bed again.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I reply. So this was the important thing then. "But doesn't the aquarium open at 9 though?"

"Yeah, but I want to be the first one to see the giant fish! I have a biology report to do on Jeesin" she exclaims as she spins around my room. She falls on top of me. "Oops, sorry Tetsu," she innocently apologizes.

I growl. "Just... Just get out of my room, okay?"

"But-"

"But nothing. I will most certainly be ready by 8, okay?"

Ronoa whimpers. "All right." She leaves the room.

"Finally," I say to myself as I went to sleep.

"This is going to be so much fun!"

I sigh heavily. I knew she was going to get all excited about some stupid fish. Ronoa got all dressed up for the big event. Her auburn hair was up in a bow, and drifted at her shoulders. Her blue jacket over her red dragon shirt was tearing at the seams. Her blue pants were way too baggy for her. Her eyes were green, with a hint of gray.

I, however, looked totally different. My jet-black hair wasn't combed at all. In fact, it was totally messy. My eyes were a cold blue, filled with anger of all the annoying things Ronoa did to me. I wore a white undershirt with a long sleeved navy blue shirt over it, unbuttoned. My light blue pants were torn at the knees and at the cuffs of the legs.

"Isn't this great?" Ronoa cheerfully asked me as we headed inside.

"Yeah, it's the best," I sarcastically replied, as I saw a few sophomores checked her out.

"Oh, just shut up," she says, punching my arm very hard. I laughed, trying to keep the tears of pain inside.

The aquarium was totally empty. No one was at the information center. The atrium was an eerie quiet. It looked like a ghost town. This was pretty freaky.

Ronoa must have had the same thought. "Where is everyone?" she asked me.

I look around. "Beats me," I replied. "Let's split up."

Ronoa stared at me with wide eyes. "S... split up?" she asked nervously. "What if the thing that took everyone is still here?" She started to cry.

I looked at her affectionately. I put my hand on her shoulder. She looked at me, tears pouring down her face. I gazed into her eyes. "Nothing bad is here. Especially this 'killer' you speak of. Now, let's split up, and search for some clues." She nodded. "Okay. I'll take the left. You take the right."

"Okay," Ronoa said, and walked off.

I set off in my direction. I looked at a big sign. FATAL BEAUTIES, the sign read. As I looked at it, the writing seemed to change. The letters were totally different. Now it said VYDYM PAYIDEAC (Al Bhed). "Weird," I said to myself, and strode off.

The fish tanks were totally empty as well. The tanks that were normally filled with beautiful schools of fish were like a ghost town. The water was green as well. It was as if the tanks haven't been cleaned in years. Who knows what happened to the fish?

That's when I heard it. A sound. It was soft at first, almost unnoticeable. But when it got louder and more annoying, I cracked. "Who's there?" I asked with authority. A silence followed. Nothing. How weird.

I just walked past the empty tanks that housed jellyfish, when I heard another sound. It was... different. When I listened close enough, it was a song. Not only that, it sounded familiar. "This couldn't be... the Hymn of the Fayth!" I shouted to myself. It couldn't be true. But it was. The song echoed through my mind as I ran past the tanks. As I ran, the song became louder, and more distorted. So I sprinted. I was starting to cry. "I can't take this anymore!" I screamed, and ran into something.

"Get away from me!" I shouted, and elbowed the thing. "Ow!" It screamed and rolled over on its stomach. I gasped as I looked at her. "Ronoa!" I exclaimed. "I'm so sorry..."

I heard her cry. "You... you asshole!" she screamed at me.

I started to sob. "I'm... I'm sorry..." As I listened, I heard something I didn't expect. Ronoa started to giggle.

"Ronoa, what the hell...!" I shouted at her, playfully punching her in the arm. I couldn't help but laugh along with her.

"You should have seen the look on your face!" she exclaimed as she turned to me.

We both got up. We looked at each other, eye to eye. I stifled a laugh. Then we both laughed hysterically. It's been a while since I saw her laugh like this. Ever since Mom and Dad passed away...

"Look at this, Tetsu," she said, pointing at something.

I looked up. It was another sign. TO JEESIN. I smiled. "This is it," I said, as I led the way to Jeesin. Ronoa followed. "Wait up!" she said.

A few minutes later, we were staring up at this gigantic fish tank. It was so huge, it looked like we could fit Rhode Island in it! The water was crystal clear, but we couldn't see anything. "Where is he?" Ronoa asked me.

I stepped forward and looked in the glass. Suddenly, a big face appeared out of nowhere. It was Jeesin! I screamed and fell on my ass. "What the...!" I yelled.

Ronoa was laughing her head off. "God, you should have seen your face again!" It seemed to be her favorite line of the day. I stared up at her. "Very funny," I replied sarcastically. "I mean, just look at it!"

She looked toward the fish tank. "Hmm... I don't see anything," she replied.

All of a sudden, this high-pitched shriek filled the air. We screamed as we covered our ears. I could just barely make out what Ronoa was saying. "Make it stop!" she begged. I was thinking the same thing. The shriek became louder and louder until I couldn't take it anymore. I blacked out.

I woke up. It was dark. Stars filled the night sky. How long was I asleep? I thought. Was it just a few minutes? Or was it a few hours? I looked around. "Ronoa?" I called. "Ronoa, if you're here, answer me." No reply. I sighed. This isn't good. I can't lose my little sister. If I did...

Shouts and cheers filled the air. I looked around. There were tall buildings everywhere. A stadium was lit up. That's where the cheers were. A large crescent of water was flowing through the air. No way, I thought. This can't be. "I'm... I'm in Zanarkand."
