Chapter 3: Tros

"My brothers and sisters. My compatriots in the great goal. The goal of defeating Sin. Soon we will have victory, a victory long awaited for. A victory well earned and rewarding. Worry not of the betrayal of Yevon, what we are doing is for the greater good! Soon, one day soon, the creature known as Sin will fall. Fall at our very feet, and once Sin has been defeated we will sing and dance in joy, like never before. Then, then we will go after Yevon, Yevon the false religion, the religion that keeps our very souls in the hands of Sin. Once Yevon and all its followers are destroyed, then we will have peace! Only with the last man woman or child who stands against us is defeated, only then will we have peace." Red eyes glare out at the many in abundance, willing to sell their very souls for the greater good. The part they don't know is it isn't for their greater good, but for his.

"Who among you has the strength and will, the power and majesty, and brawn and brain to lead my army into battle! If there is any among you speak now!" The man clad in black robes, raised a hand into the air and pointed it at the hand that was raised.

"I…I will sir." A female voice spoke from the many at his feet.

"What is your name young one?" The voice was harsh, and demanding. The throng of men and women around him, winced. Since he had arrived no more than ten days ago, he already shown power enough to defeat Sin and Yevon. To bring peace to the people. He asked his followers to call him Lord Voldemort(name meaning flee death). It was one of the times the actual meaning of his name came in handy. The man's real name was not known, but he had what it took to become the leader.

"Lucil Sir." The captain of the chocobo knights raised her hand to her chest and saluted him appropriately. None of the people had hate, pain, and death in their blood, they were there only because of the possibility of bringing peace. The Lord inwardly snarled at the weakness of the fools. Since no one actually had what was needed to become his, he would have to slowly corrupt them.

"Very well Lucil, I name you leader of the ground forces in the upcoming battle against Sin, you will be my left hand for when it is needed. Come up here." The Lord said and gestured upstage. Captain Lucil slowly made her way up, Voldemort looked around the assembled again. "I have found my left hand, is there any willing to become my right hand? Is there any out there who would take the battle to Yevon, who would be the willing spy among the people, who would slowly destroy Yevon from the inside? If there is any among you speak now!"

"I-I volunteer." A woman clad in green raised her petite hand, she was dressed in semi-formal robes and looked cautious. When Voldemort looked into her heart however, he saw loyalty, cunning, and ambition, the perfect abilities needed for a spy.

"Very well, you are a once avid follower of Yevon are you not?" Voldemort asked the woman who nodded.

"Yes, I once would have followed them to the death, but since you've shown the lies of Yevon I offer my services to you. Please accept." She bowed her head quickly, Voldemort felt a smirk appearing.

"Very well, come up here, to be marked!" Voldemort watched as the she slowly came upstage to stand next to Lucil. "We are about to witness the first of the marking, from this day forward all that are marked will be known as Death Eaters, and they will feed on those who cause death! I urge all of you to take the mark sometime or other, but incase there are any Yevon spies, I have put a spell on all of you to make sure, that what is witnessed here today remains unspoken. No longer shall these two be known as their names to any with the mark, from now on they will be known as Fang and Eyes. For they are the Fang and Eyes of the Serpent, and like a serpent they will strike the enemies hard, fast, and deadly. Witness the birth of the first Death Eaters!" Voldemort then took the left arm of Fang and Eyes and took out his stick.

His stick, which he called a wand was his most powerful possession, it gave him most of his powers, it could not be destroyed or taken off his person, a Yevon spy who had tried had met a gruesome and untimely death. He then cast a spell. Mosmorde!"

Fang and Eyes screamed in pain, as a mark began appearing the left arms of the two women.. The mark was that of a skull with a serpent slithering in and out of it. Voldemort said it symbolized triumph. Triumph over enemies, they were the snake, and the skull were the enemies. The snake went in and out of the skull because it was triumph over the man. Not more than once did one wonder about the resemblance to Voldemort and the Serpent, but they left it be.

"Fang. Eyes. Go back to the others." He said to his two new followers. "Being marked is painful, I will not try to hide it, but it symbolizes the will to brake free of the corruption of the government, and as long as you have been marked I will know where you are at all times. This way I can watch over you, save you if need be from our enemies. The mark makes us more powerful, and will be the sign that one can trust the other. The mark will hide itself unless alone with another who has been marked. Now I have one last announcement before we can call this meeting adjourned."

A man stepped out of the shadows. He looked much younger than Voldemort, who looked forty or fifty, but was really much, much older. The first thing that was noticeable about him was the spiky blue hair, and the fact that he was not human. His hands were able to become sharp knives, and his eyes were purple/blue and marked him as the newest Maester of Yevon.

"As many of you may know, this is Maester Seymour, whose maestery is known only by a select few, he will lead the attack on Sin. Follow him to the death if need be."

"I am Seymour Guado, new Maester of Yevon. Long had I realized what corruption, the state of Yevon was in. I realized the main fault was Sin, and have dedicated my life to it. To save Spira we must destroy." Seymour Guado looked around smirking.

"I will now leave, I have other ends to turn to, Seymour Guado will carry on the rest. Meeting adjourned." With those final parting words Lord Voldemort turned to leave. He was happy very happy and soon cursed himself for letting the information slip. Someone was in his mind. Only two others were as skilled in the mind arts as him, both of them he was hoping dead.

'POTTER!" Lord Voldemort screamed in his mind.

I realized that I had seen enough, the mind-link was more powerful in this world, in the other it was almost obsolete, since the destruction of the horcruxes. I was angry to learn that Voldemort had already gained followers in this world, and even more angry that he had survived. With a start, I felt someone pull me back, and realized that all I had seen, would soon go into the farthest part of my mind. Voldemort was skilled, he could not totally absolve my memory of this event, but he could send it to the farthest reaches of my mind, a place where I may never find it. I cursed realizing what and advantage he would have on me when we next meet. But then the link was cut and I was returning to the living world.

I awoke to four faces above me. The first two were the girl and Mohawk Man, the other two were Tidus and Scar. Scar upon seeing me awake snarled angrily and headed back inside. I shook my head, I couldn't remember why I passed out.

"Hey you okay?" Tidus asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine./ I'm fine, really!" I say with a grin, waving off my collapse as nothing. I couldn't help, but feel it had something to do with Voldemort, the only question was what.

"You sure? You sure you didn't hit your head or something?" The girl asks.

"Uh. You hit me." I say to her, smirking.

"Oh, right. Sorry about that."

"No problem."

"Hey what's this? Some kind of crane?" Tidus yells from across the ship. He is half standing on some type of machine, I believe he was right when saying crane. This distraction serves its purpose well, braking a tense silence. Number 1, sees Tidus messing with the equipment and growls at him.

"Cdibet puo, kad yfyo vnus drana!" Tidus seems to get the hint, even if he can't understand a word Number 1 says and backs away hands in air.

"All right. All right! You don't have to shout, just don't hit me again!" The girl and I smirk. Before the girl heads over to talk with Mohawk Man. I just sit by and listen. Of course they revert to the language I don't understand, so quickly lose interest. I start looking around the ship.

I make it about half way before Tidus runs over and interrupts whatever the girl and Mohawk Man were saying, and calls me over. I walk over to them, I was getting bored anyways. Once I got my wand back, it would be much more interesting. The girl gives me a small nod as I walk over, she turns back to Tidus and begins to speak.

"We found some ancient ruins, right beneath us! It's not active now, but there should still be some power left. We're gonna go down there and activate it, and then we should be able to salvage the big prize!" she says excitedly." The only bad thing is that we can only stay under for an hour at the most, after that the suits will stop working.

"No problem. No problem. I can make it so you can have as much time under water as you want. If you would hand me my wand for a minute?" I say and then wondering if they care more about me not using the wand or the ancient ruins.

"Fryd tu oui drehg? Cruimt fa mad res ica ed?" She asks Mohawk Man.

"Ed'c ib du oui cec. Bubc dumt sa du keja oui lrynka uv dra secceuh. Ed''c ouin lymm." Mohawk Man replied.

"veha. E cyo mad res." She responds, before turning to me. "Okay, I have been given charge of the mission, I say if you can help us, do so." She hands me my wand. I quickly cast the bubble-head charm and hand it back.

"There, this charm will allow us to breathe underwater, you don't even need to get into suits if you don't need to. It won't stop from becoming wet however. Keep a hold of my wand I will make it through this without it, I only ask for a weapon to protect myself. Incase more fiends appear."

The girl nods, and hands me a gun. She then explains to me how to use it and I nod, not as strong as my wand, but it will do. I would just have to make sure, not to get surprised again by any outside force. Next time it could mean life or death.

"Okay, let's get to work!" she says, pulling the goggles over her head once more, and walking over to the side of the ship. She then jumps in Tidus follows.

"Roger!" Tidus says, following her over. I shake my head, make sure I have a good grip on the gun, and slip a knife into my robes. Better safe than dead. I then jump in.

Then minute I hit the water I am attacked by small fish fiends. Or maybe just fish, I'm not sure. These fish look exactly like piranhas, gray and green, with large sharp teeth waiting to tear into my flesh. There is only two around me, I fire the gun.

That was a mistake as I would soon realize. The gun only carries so much ammo, and although I did hit the two fish, I was now left with a gun, not fully loaded. The girl came over to me and Tidus followed her.

"Are you okay?" She asked me.

"Yeah, never better. How much ammo does this thing carry?" I ask and Tidus cuts a piranha that was sneaking up on him.

It carries two clips of 18 bullets, to switch clips press the button on the side. Then the new clip will load, this takes a minute or so though so make sure you are out of harms way." She said and I nodded, beginning to follow her down to the ruins below.

Tidus followed behind me killing any of the fish that came by, I of course was worried about another shark creature. We were in an ocean after all, and if any of us started breathing we would attract any shark nearby miles away. I began to stare around worriedly, the girl noticed me do so, she swam back to swim with me Tidus was now in front.

"Are you okay? You seem worried. Distracted."

"It's nothing. I'm just worried about sharks. But this gun would be able to take them no problem, and with your grenades and Tidus sword, they'd be fish bait." I say grinning, hiding my own worry.

"Sharks? There are no sharks here, normal or fiend. These waters are home to their own diversity of monsters. The region we're in now is home to one of the seven terrors of the sea. Tros."

"Tros?" I ask curious. I groan at the mention of seven, there is always one more.

"Tros. One of the six great terrors of the sea, it is a fiend with many tentacles and monstrous appetite. Tros is believed to be the fall of many ships, that's why we no longer use such things, to speed travel. Only the island places are able to move from island to island, to mainland, and even they have to risk the wrath of Sin and other fiends. Tros is known for being the cause of shipwrecks, and it is said to haunt the remains of ruins. Sharks are the least of our worries." She said before quickly swimming up to Tidus.

I pause a moment. A greater monster of the sea than a shark, not possible. I hurry to catch up nonetheless. With the bubble-head charm I can see much better than normal, although it does not do much good in the murky water. I get to the ruins and try to make out a shape, but I'm unable.

The girl motions to us to follow and we follow her into an entrance near the ruins. A console is in front of us, and a door beyond it. The girl begins hitting it a few times and it opens under the pressure. We continue to move. Soon we enter an area with a large blue pulsing device sticking cone-like from the top. I realize with a start that whatever we are were in was a vehicle of some type.

"Whoa. If you salvage this, I bet you could get it working in no time. It looks like a mode of transportation of some type. See how the blue cone is simmering, it is not at full power, let's continue on." I say and Tidus looks at me, and the girl nods. We swim through another tunnel, are attacked by a few fish, Tidus whacks them with his sword, and we enter the next chamber.

As soon as it comes in sight, I can tell it is main part of the device. Circular with a small blue globe in the middle. I continue to look at it and just faintly hear what Tidus and the girl are saying.

"Be careful." Tidus said, no longer wearing a goofy grin, but serious.

"I know, I thought I saw something, a moment ago. Guess I was mistaken." she says looking around. I swim over to them, gesturing to the panel I had found.

"Look here, its some kind of control panel." I say excited by my find. Suddenly the water in front of us begins to churn violently, and I can almost feel it warming. Something shoots us back away from the panel.

In our wake is some kind of giant squid, nowhere near as big as I imagined, but it was definitely big. It had long purple tentacles with blue spots attached to a small body/head that was protected by some type of shell. Tros.

"Tros." The girl whispers in awe and fear. You would to if a legend suddenly became real. If a monster from stories and nightmares suddenly began attacking you. Tidus had his sword, the girl had her bag of explosives, and I had the gun. If need be, I would get my wand if we could not beat it any other way.

Tidus swam in and tried striking at the creature only for the girl and I to see him fly back from the power of two of the tentacles.

"Hey you! Distract it!" The girl yells at me. I realize then that I don't know her name, and she does not know mine.

"The name's Harry. Harry Potter!" I cry swimming behind the creature and letting loose a barrage of gunfire. I watch as eight bullets slam into the hard shell of Tros…they do nothing.

"Introductions later, we have a squid to beat!" The girl yells at me taking out a green object. I knew what it was, hopefully Tros would not.

"Hey fish-face!" Tidus yells causing the creatures attention to turn towards him, a grenade explodes in its face.

"Nice distraction Tidus!" I yell at him as he swims in as the smoke shrouds the eyesight of Tros. He takes his sword and slashes across the face, a moan of pain is heard and suddenly Tros is heading towards me. I quickly swim to the side.

Tros is now on the opposite side of the three of us, just sitting. It seems like the creature is meditating, but why would it…

"It's trying to heal itself!" The girl cries.

That's it. Heal. I remember the Japanese Death Eater who all of a sudden stopped in middle of battle and began meditating. I didn't realize what was happening until he was fully healed. I then had to fight him again, again he retreated and healed. Eventually I just had to go in ask for surrender, when no surrender came, I charged at him while he was healing. Not the bravest or most honorable means of battle, but I would never have beaten him anyway. Tros was just like the Death Eater, we would have to take it out like I did the Death Eater. Before I could tell my plan to the others, Tros returned shooting at us like a bullet. I got the wind knocked out of me, and a large gash was on my left arm.

"You two! Attack it! When I say to drop back get as far away as you can!" She yells at us and Tidus and I nod.

I shoot another barrage of gunfire at Tros, causing me to empty the first of my clip. I press the button and the second clip goes in. I stand back as Tidus goes in and slices off one of the tentacles, he in return is hit by three of the remaining tentacles. He comes back and I shoot another small barrage of gunfire, and to my joy managing to hit one eye, causing him to become slightly blind.

"Okay fall back!" The girl yells and Tidus and I quickly swim away as a grenade is thrown at Tros. Tros is hit and another moan of pain is heard, another tentacle falls off, and the face is quite ashy. To my and probably everyone's surprise, Tros strikes back and manages to hit her in the stomach causing her bag of grenades and whatever else to fall on the sea floor. It is quickly covered by sand and lost. I hear her say something that I'm almost positive is an expletive.

"Distract it, I need to recover some grenades, make sure it does not look behind!" The girl yells at us, and both Tidus and I look at each other in confusion. Tros decides then however to move to heal itself. It swims around and just barely manages to miss the girl. I then think of a plan, Tidus however has been thinking the same thing and manages to speak before me.

"Hey, I got an idea. Harry and I will surround Tros while you get your materials for the grenade!"

"Okay!" The girl and I yell back to him. I swim over and take the front, Tidus takes the back. I let out another barrage of gunfire. I notice that only six more bullets are left. A tentacle comes towards me and I dodge. I also happen to notice that Tros can't heal itself while fighting us at the same time.

I watch as Tidus strikes Tros with his sword from behind managing to crack the shell, that had previously protected it. I realized another strike or two would completely destroy it. I got ready to shoot the last of the gunfire, when I noticed the girl directly under it. I stared in amazement, and wondered what she was doing.

"This should work." She muttered taking a piece of tentacle, a scale I believe and slipped it into a smaller pouch than the one she had lost, inside was a foul smelling potion. I realized that it was probably explosive. But where was she going to get fire under water? She swam over to.

"So that is one of your explosives?" I ask.

"Yeah, we can get rid of this thing right here and now, if I could some how light this. Oh. This is so annoying." She said throwing her hands in the air. Tidus is busy keeping Tros occupied, and only needs one more strike with the sword to make the shell fall off.

"I have an idea. It may be a bit risky, but if everything goes right would defiantly kill Tros. I would need my wand back though." I say hesitantly.

"No problem." She takes it out of her dive-suit and hands it to me. I guess she would rather trust me and hope my main problem is Tros not them. I decide to tell her the rest of the plan.

"Okay, now that I have this back, wait for my signal. When I fire the last of my gunfire at Tros that is the signal for you to release the potion. Got it?" I ask.

"But-" She begins I cut her off.

"No time. Just trust me! When I fire the last of my ammo, release it!" I yell her dodging a tentacle heading over to Tidus.

"Yo Tidus, one more strike with the sword, then fall back. Got it?" I ask the blond.

"Yeah, sure. No problem. I've seen what you can do with that stick, if anyone could get us out of this you could." He rushes in and slashes once more against the shell, have the shell falls off, he swims back over to me.

"Okay, here take this, fire when I say." I tell him. I wait until Tross turns completely around facing the girl before yelling "Now!" Tidus releases the rest of the ammo on the creature, causing no damage, but being the signal, the bag flies over head and right as it is close to the face of Tros I release a spell. Incedio! A burst of fire is shot out of my wand and causes the water around it to boil, it produces just enough heat that the bag in Tros's face explodes.

A loud explosion slowly follows. Seeing as how the explosion occurred directly in front of Tros, just as its beak was opening, I knew it would be dead when the smoke cleared. The smoke cleared and I was surprised to see it still floating looking quite a whole. Tidus and the girl also looked in shock. But then suddenly it began to dissolve and burst into pyreflies.

"Wahoo! Nice!" Tidus exclaims sheathing his sword.

"Hey whatever works right?" I ask laughing.

"Right!" The girl exclaims also grinning.

It is then I begin to notice the blood in the water around us, the death of Tros had probably just made this water a little less safe. The girl apparently thought the same thing.

"Come on, let's get back to the surface!" She yells and we all follow. The surface sounds mighty good about now.

Back on the ship Tidus and I remove our wetsuits, and the girl removes her goggles. The girl shakes out her blond hair, before heading over to talk to the people on deck.

"Fa vuiht dra airship! Dra naluntc fana nekrd!" I hear one of the people say, this one looks like the one I held hostage. He looks at me and puts his hand in a fist. I don't think he likes me. It takes me a moment, to realize that one of the words he had said was in English. Airship. SO the ruins were really an airship? It made sense.

"Huf, ruf du tnyk ed ib?" Mohawk Man seems to ask.

Mohawk man and the others begin heading inside, I notice Tidus following and get closer to see, what is most likely to be quite enjoyable. I was right, for not even a foot inside, Number 1 appears and pushes him out.

"Oui, uidceta!" Number 1 says turning around and heading inside. Tidus seems more annoyed now than earlier. I smirk.

"Hey, I helped out too, didn't I?" Didn't I?" He screams the last sentence, and watches as the door slams on his face. He grumbles, crosses his arms and walks over to me.

"Sure are friendly to guests aren't they?" I say cheekily. Tidus glares at me before heading over to door, lying down almost in front of it and putting his head against the wall. I shake my head.

"Uhh...hungry..." Tidus groans, and I of course look at him distastefully, once again. The girl took my wand on the way to the ship, so I was wandless again. I would have to get it back as soon as one of them came back out. The spell on my transfigured clothes was almost out again.

Suddenly the door opens and the girl walks out carrying to plates of food, she kicks Tidus in the shoulder and sets the food down in front of him. Seeing the food his eyes bug out and he starts gobbling down food like no tomorrow. Once again Tidus reminds me unmistakably of Ron. I head over to them.

"Whoa! Right on!" Tidus says and I swear it almost sounds like a surfer accent. He begins to scarf down food and she leaves him like that. She walks over to me and hands me a plate.

"dryhgc." I say before shaking my head and fixing myself. "Thanks. I don't know why I keep spouting gibberish, hope I didn't offend you?" I ask meekly. I remember one particularly rude fellow, Goef Newby, he wasn't a Death Eater, but he would have made a great one.

A moment of silence passes and I begin to feel quite cold. A cricket could probably chirp and it would cut glass. I notice she's looking at me, a petrified like expression on her face, not moving, but having a slight grin. I wave a hand in her face, and then notice what's wrong. The bloody spell took the time to go out on me. I quickly sit down to save myself from anymore embarrassment and quickly try to cover up. I believe I'm blushing terribly.

"Uh. Er. Can I have my wand back please?" I ask, my voice snapping her out of it.

"Hmm. Yeah, sure." I notice she is still staring at me, but flushes when she catches me looking. I take the wand and begin to stand up, before quickly sitting down, this is defiantly embarrassing.

"Uh, could you please turn around while I get dressed?" I ask her politely. She nods, but doesn't turn around. Great. Just bloody brilliant. Ron would be laughing his arse off, if he could see me now. I always did use to get into these predicaments. Standing up quickly I carefully turn her around, before putting on the clothes transfigured from the rocks. Unfortunately one of the rocks has gone missing, and I have to use a metal button to get socks, the socks turn out a very metallic color. After being fully dressed I look up and notice the girl gone, back by Tidus. Tidus is apparently choking.

"Hey." She exclaims as Tidus takes her canteen and starts drinking all of her water. "It's cause you eat too fast!" She says and I nod agreeing.

"I gotta agree with her on that, I've never seen anyone except Ron eat as fast as you do. It would be quite interesting, to see you two in a race." I say laughing at the thought. The girl looks at me, but quickly looks away blushing. That of course causes me to blush, but I hide it better.

Tidus doesn't seem to notice and stands up and stretches, throwing the canteen at me as he gets up.

"Hey!" She exclaims suddenly. "I never learned your name!"

"I'm Tidus, this able bodied lad, right here is Harry." Tidus says, oblivious.

"It's nice to meet you." I say with a nod. "My full name is Harry James Potter. Gray Mage, neither light nor dark."

"Delighted to meet you Tidus, Mage Harry." The girl said with a giggle.

"Hello there. What is your name?" Tidus asks, I believe he is just now beginning to realize she speaks the same language. I almost snort at the obliviousness. It's right in front of him and yet he does not notice. Another trait similar to Ron.

Rikku." she replies. Tidus' grin gets wider, and he clenches his fists triumphantly.

"Woohoo!" he cries. "You really do understand!" Then his grin disappears for a moment, as he speaks again.

"But why didn't you say so earlier?" he asks, crossing his arms over his chest, almost glaring at her. Apparently he is annoyed at his lack of thought.

"I didn't get the chance to!" she says, shaking her finger at Tidus. "Everyone thought oui and oui were a fiend!" She points to Tidus and I as she says oui. Tidus gets another confused expression on his face. You have to feel bad for such things happening to him, then again it's happening to me too, and I don't act as confused. Tidus and I then speak at the same time.

"You?"

"Uh...'we'?" Tidus says cocking his head like and owl.

Rikku just stares for a moment at Tidus and then at me, her gaze lingering more so on mine, I feel another blush rising.

"Oh, 'oui' means 'you'." she says, before walking away from Tidus for a moment, a concerned expression on her face. She looks at me again. "You knew?"

"Uh. Well, I don't really know." I say sheepishly, Rikku is now giving me the same concerned expression.

"Who are you guys, anyway?" Tidus asks, personally I don't see any difference, but Tidus maybe sharper in some aspects than me.

"We're Al Bhed! Can't you tell?" She says. Tidus and I glance at each other wondering if the other knows who they are. Apparently we're both clueless.

"Funny. Wait, you're not Al Bhed haters, are you?" She asks rather angrily, turning to us both. Tidus and I blink.

"I don't even know what an Al Bhed is." Tidus says sadly and I nod.

"Yep, same here."

"Where are you from?" She asks Tidus.

"Zanarkand. I'm a blitzball player. Star player of the Zanarkand Abes!" he says with pride, pushing out his chest.

"Uh, I'm from the same. Zanerkan." I say, I know she doesn't believe me, but looks away when I catch her looking at me.

"Did you hit your head or something?"

"Um, you guys hit me." he replies, as Rikku puts her hand behind her head, sheepishly.

"Oh, right...Do you remember anything before that?" she asks eagerly, crossing her arms.

"Well, yea. It all started when I was play..."

I tune out Tidus as he begins to retell the story thus far. I imagine it would make a pretty good book one day by the time it is finished. I watch and listen in silence, and then begin to notice the worry on Rikku's face.

"Did I say something funny?" Tidus says, also seeing the expression on Rikku's face.

"You were near Sin. Don't worry, you'll be better in no time. They say your head gets funny when Sin is near. Maybe you just had some kind of dream?" she replies, looking at Tidus intently. She then turns to me. "You were by him too?"

"Er, yeah. But I know for a fact Sin's toxin isn't effecting me."

"Hm. How do you know that?" Rikku asks me intently. Tidus seems to be listening as well.

"Back where I'm from I was bit by a Basilisk, I was in the process of dying, but was healed from the tears of a Phoenix. Ever since then I'm immune to all poisons, toxins, and serums." I say this calmly and collective. It was actually quite a surprise when I discovered I was immune, I would have been dead numerous times if it weren't for the event in my second year.

"You mean I'm sick?" Tidus cuts in. I may not be effected by the toxin, but Tidus may be, even though I know he is not.

"Because of Sin's toxin, yeah." Rikku says, I'm not sure if she believes me or not.

Tidus frowns. "You sure?"

Rikku puts her hands on her hips. "Yeah, there is no Zanarkand anymore. Sin destroyed it a thousand years ago. So...no one plays blitzball there." She glanced at me, making sure I was still paying attention, all though I'm not quite sure why.

Tidus looks shocked by the sudden knowledge, as he throws his hands up in front of him.

"What do you mean, a thousand years ago? But, I saw Sin attack Zanarkand! You're saying that happened a thousand years ago? No way!" he cries, somewhat mad and startled at the same time. After all learning the place you had lived for 16 to 17 years is no longer there, that it's all a bunch of ruins, no it wasn't possible. I believe these were just a few of the thoughts running through Tidus' mind.

"You said...you play blitzball?" she asks Tidus, who nods. "You know, you should go to Luca. Someone might know who you are, or you might find someone you recognize." Rikku made me worried, that was just the kind of place Voldemort or Snape would love to appear. Great populations ready and ripe for the taking, the gaining of new followers. I would be going to Luca whether Tidus did or not.

"Luca?" Tidus asks interested.

Rikku shakes her head and begins to pace back and forth. It reminds me of…no it hurts too much. She stops pacing, walks behind Tidus and taps him on the shoulder.

"Okay, leave it to me! I'll get you two to Luca, promise!" Tidus looks a little unsure at this, in fact I'm even a little unsure of this, the possibility of facing Snape or Voldemort is this place, I never catch a break. Rikku speaks again. "You'd rather stay here?" Tidus gets a shocked expression, before quickly shaking his head, I however am curious. She seemed to be looking at me when she said it.

"Okay, I'll go tell the others. Wait here." she says, turning to leave, before stopping and turning back around, pointing a finger at Tidus.

"Oh, and one thing. Don't tell anyone you're from Zanarkand, okay? Yevon says it's a holy place. You might upset someone." she says, in a childish tone. She looks at us one more time, before turning around and heading inside the ship.

Tidus just mutters 'okay' under his breath, before turning and leaning on the ship's railing. He seems to be thinking something, for soon after I and half the sea can hear him.

"I can't believe it. A thousand years in the future? No way!" he mutters to himself. I can almost imagine him having a conversation with himself.

"Hey Tidus. It's okay. I know where you're from, I was there momentarily myself. We can see this Zanarkand for our own eyes, until then Luca sounds like as good a place to stop as any." I say trying to reassure him.

Tidus grunts and walks over to the crane, I watch as he angrily tries to kick it. This causes the whole ship to rock, and as the other Al Bhed, Number 1, Scar, Mohawk Man, etc… come on board. Tidus is caught with an expression like that of a small child who has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

The ship begins to shake harder knocking a few Al Bhed down and at least one overboard. I'm pleased to discover it is Scar. Looking out in the ocean, I notice a large moving object heading towards the ship.

"Sin!" Number 1 cries. "Sin es luca!"

"Ihtan ic! Ihtan ic!" another Al Bhed yells out.

The top deck of the ship suddenly is thrown into chaos, as the men scramble to get their guns, and organize some useable form of defense. The ship continues to rock and Tidus and I lose our balance as well. Unfortunately we unlike the Al Bhed, are on the side, not in the middle, and we find ourselves hanging off the ship edges(rails). Screaming Tidus lets go and seems to fall into a strange whirlpool like obstacle. Soon after Tidus falls, I begin to fall as well. The whirlpool sucking me in and spitting me back who knows where, soon after everything goes black.

A/N: There you go, the third chapter, I hope it was up to par. I'm not to sure about this chapter, let me know how it was. Another longer than normal chapter. Please read and review, hope you enjoyed. Al Bhed translations can be found on the web, in many places, let me know if you have problems finding one. Please also remember to vote, your opinions matter.
