Chapter 3Yuna awoke to the faces that she recognised, Lulu kneeling down beside her, Kimarhri just standing there as normal, Rikku standing behind Lulu and Wakka was kneeling beside Lulu. "Good, your awake." Lulu said, Yuna could tell that she had been near to tears, or was very worried. "What happened?"
"I saw him."
"Yuna, you lost consusness. Was it possible that you just dreamed seeing him." Rikku said, even though she was only 15 she often thought like an adult. Most people in spira did, as they didn't know what day would be their last. Now that Yuna thought about it, it did seem like a dream, but something kept telling her that it wasn't. "Well, theirs one way to be sure. We need to go to Zanarkand. He told me that we need to find the Sceptre of Yu-Yevon."
"What?" Rikku blurted out. Yuna looked at the young Al-Bhed, it wasn't like her to blurt things out like that, so Yuna asked, "Yes, what do you know about it."
"Um, well, you know… On a raid of some Al-Bhed a sphere was discovered. It was old, very old. When it was played it showed one man, he was tall, broad and muscular. But what also caught our eye was that he was waving a Sceptre around which looked like a Faith. The audio said something like This is the Sceptre in action, now Bevelle will taste the power of the summoners, all thanks to Zanarkand and Yu. We didn't think anything of it." Rikku explained, all the while the group listened in, giving Rikku their full attention. Yuna was the first to say something after Rikku had finished, "So this Yu could be Yu-Yevon. And this sceptre in the sphere…"
"Might be the Sceptre of Yu-Yevon. But I don't know how you know about it. This sphere was kept at Home, but when Home was destroyed I don't doubt that the sphere was destroyed as well, or at least buried under a million tones of rock." Rikku finished for Yuna, and added the last part. Yuna now knew that it wasn't a dream, that she had seen Tidus, and that the threat was real. Yuna stood up and said, "We need to get to the dome in Zanarkand. Then he'll show us the way." And with that Yuna walked off up the remainder of the mountain and onto Zanarkand ruins, the city of the dead.
Yuna walked into the dome of Zanarkand with the group now walking behind. They had all ran after Yuna as she had walked off towards Zanarkand. As she walked in the dome she caught sight of a shimmer, it was small, but it was there. As always Wakka and Lulu stepped forward with their weapons in place ready to attack it when it became a Fiend. Instead of becoming a Fiend they got a voice from the shimmer and then saw a body appear, it said, "Lower your weapons Wakka, Lulu. I couldn't hurt you even if I wanted to, which I wouldn't anyway." Tidus emerged shortly after. Wakka stepped back, Lulu's mouth gapped open, Rikku shortly followed Wakka but Yuna just stood their smiling just as Tidus knew that she would. But she was not important at the moment, the sceptre. "Glad you decided to come. We must hurry. The Sceptre has it's own trial and as a result takes a while. The entrance is at the back of la… I mean Yunalesca's room. We need to hurry." And with that he started to walk in deeper into Zanarkand and in the direction of Yunalesca's room. All the group did was to follow. Along the way they tried to talk to Tidus but the only one that Tidus seemed interested in talking to was Yuna, but it wasn't about things such as Wakka would have though two people in love would talk about, he seemed to be obsessed in preparing Yuna for the trail, and telling them all how important it was that they find the sceptre.
As they walked into the main room Wakka had his reservations about Tidus, he seemed a little off, and when he asked Lulu about it she also agreed with him. Tidus walked forward and said, "Here we are. The entrance to the trail. Amazing, not even Yunalesca knew about this place." He waved his hand and a door appeared, the kind that guarded Faith. "Only myself and Yuna may go ahead." He said. This Wakka did not like, he did not trust this Tidus. "Whoa Tidus. You aren't exactly real so you can't protect her, if something happens…"
"If something happens the only thing that will happen will be that Yuna will die, and even if you all came it wouldn't stop it. Plus try and walk through" Tidus taunted Wakka with the challenge, this was not like the Tidus that Wakka knew, and he could see that Yuna caught that too. Even though he took the challenge, and as a result was sent on his arse when the door attacked him with an air attack, the very air around him seemed to become a wall and pushed him back. "As I said. Only a summoner may enter. I can go because for all intensive proposes I am dead. Come on Yuna." And with that he walked through. Yuna looked back at Wakka when he said, "Yuna, be careful. I don't trust this Tidus he seems different, almost evil. Just don't let your guard down."
"I won't. I'll be back soon." Yuna answered and with that she walked through the now open door.
The other side was completely different. Also it was under water, it looked like it was a place that had survived the attack. This place was untouched, and also had power running through it. "Well done, you passed the test. I knew that you could do it. The sceptre is just through here."
"But you said that there was a trail." Yuna said, not understanding what was happening. Tidus turned and answered with, "The wall was the trail. Now go and get the sceptre, it's the only way that Spira will get rid of SIN once and for all." And with that he walked back to the door behind Yuna and waited. Yuna looked at him, and then started walking towards the sceptre. Each step seemed to be harder and harder, it was almost like something was draining the life out of her. Then she walked through the last door and saw it.
