Chapter5: Blitzball Cup - Part 2 – Besaid Aurochs Versus Luca Goers

-------------Pause------------

To any reader that are reading this. You people might be probably notice that I haven't post up a chapter in a month. I know I failed to mention it. Sorry. I will remember to tell you people in further notice. So let us continue eh?

Yay.

Hold! Don't forget to R&R please :D :D :D :D :D :D

-------------Continue-------------

"Yehaaa!"

I shouted and jumped up and down wildly. The mood in the locker room was filled with mirth. Everyone was celebrating as it was their first time to be in the final. "Man, did you see their faces?" I laughed loudly. The last game, we won 2-1 against Al Bhed Psyches with a handicap on the 3 quarter of the game. The handicap was that we must not win the game otherwise there will be serious consequence happen. That 'problem' was solved in the last quarter of the game and we were able to win the game in the last minute. Speaking of this 'problem', the rest of my team do not reveal about what kind of problem was this 'problem'. But it didn't matter anymore. We won the game.

Suddenly, the locker room door opened.

A familiar voice caused me turn at the door. "Nice job Wakka!"

Wakka said, "Yuna, please don't be careless again. Those Al Bhed are such a bad company. Damn them".

A girl, not more than 16, with a brown hair, replied, "Sorry Wakka. I'll promise I will be careful".

Her voice was very soft but that wasn't the thing that I focused. It was the guy on her right side. Something familiar about him but I couldn't recall about it.

Suddenly, it strikes me.

Wakka began, "Well, truth to be…"

My missing step-brother intercepts, "Valcin!"

I was amazed, "Tidus!"

"Oh, you two have met each other before?" asked a young woman with black hair behind those two.

"You got that right, Lulu!" replied Tidus with cheery voice. "He is Sieg Valcin, my step-brother that I was talking about on the ship."

"Now I get it," exclaimed Wakka. "No wonder his name was so familiar when I recruited him. Man, I am getting old".

"Ok. Don't be like that, I know you were to focused on blitzball and all that water stuff", Lulu said as she put a pat on Wakka shoulder.

"Well, let me introduce you all to him properly", said Tidus as he pull me to his right.

"No, no need – ", I began to decline the introduction.

"First of all, Yuna – the girl with the brown hair – is a summoner".

"Hi Valcin," Yuna bowed down to me. Ughhh…. You don't have to bow to me like that…. I said in my mind.

"A summoner?" I asked.

"Later I will tell you the detail. Next, her guardians, Lulu – he pointed to the young woman with purple eyes lashes with a black hair – and of course, you know Captain Wakka".

"Ah, hi" all I can say. They greeted back cheerily. Man, how can they be normal when to greet people? I thought.

"Hmm…. Where is he? Ah there – he pointed to a guy – well, a Ronso with a broken horn – Khimari.

"Hello", I greeted him. Unlike the rest, he just stood on the corner of the room with silence.

This time, Yuna answered,"He really greeted you, Valcin. He is mostly like that so you don't have to worry about it," she added with a smile.

"Oh, ok. I thought he was mute or something", I said uneasily. Sigh, greeting is not my best subject.

Wakka stood up. "Alright, now since everyone is here – he paused - well, non-blitzball players don't have to be here but I still want you all be here no matter what. We are going to discuss the game plan for our final game against Luca Goers.

The Game Start

The atmosphere here was intense. All people from all around the world were here on the stand watching the only game that can take their mind off from Sin. Yuna and I was sitting on the right corner of box set – a special place at the stand – while Lulu and Khimari at the other corner and watching the game underway.

"Why aren't you playing?" Lulu asked me while striking up a conversation.

"I will join them at the second half. Tidus can handle the game".

"Hmmm….. so what are your relationship with Tidus?"

"Well, as Tidus said, I am his step-brother".

I continued, "Of course you people will not believe us that we are from Zanarkand 1000 years ago".

"I believe you".

"Huh?" I looked at her. "Come on, you are just trying to feel me happy right?"

"Your father's name is Jecht".

Still not convinced, "Tidus told you about this right? You don't believe me but trying to use that information to keep me happy right?"

"Please, I believe you. I am not lying".

I sighed, " Fine. So tell me what you know".

"If I am not mistaken, your mother's name is Dasamia".

NO WAY. No way has she known about my mother's name. Even Tidus do not know about it.

"How do you know? I mean, you never met my dad before and –"

Yuna interrupted, "I met him, your father 10 years ago in Bevelle".

That the same time my dad disappeared from Zanarkand.

"My dad disappeared 10 years ago……….. which mean, my dad came here".

"Yes".

Great. Like father, like sons. I thought blankly. "How do you know so much about him?"

"He was one of my father's guardian. He always like to play with me –"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" This time, I interrupted her. "My father wasn't that nice. He was kind of bully especially toward to Tidus and me".

"But he was so nice! He even show me the way he plays blitzball. It was awesome!"

"Meh, he was a show-off. End of story."

"You are like Tidus. How could you be so cruel to your dad?"

"Well, he treated us badly. He the basta---"

"That mean!" Yuna shouted at me. She was on the verge of crying that I just decided to agree with her. Is she a summoner or what?

"Alright. You win. Now listen. I think you better ask Tidus about dad. I don't care where is he anyway".

"You are such an easy going person, Sieg".

"No, no, no. Just call me Valcin. That Sieg is a crappy name". I corrected her. "You see, I prefer to be called by the name created by my mom. My dad named me such a st---"

"Ok! Ok! Just stop that. Okey?"

"As you wish, lady summoner. If you excuse me, I want to watch the game". I said formally.

Not really. I wasn't concentrate at the game but at her. Damn I thought. Why in the world I have to see her? On the second thought, any males can be easily distracted with her if close enough. She has short brown hair with fair skinned face. She wore a white kimono and blue skirt (alright. I don't know how to describe that -- ) with large yellow ribbon on her waist. Just a normal appearance for summoner according to Tidus. Except that she got two different colours on the eyes. Blue on the left, green on the right.

"Lady Yuna," I began.

"Just Yuna," Yuna corrected me. "I don't need those silly formalities. Just talk to me as usual."

"Ah. Well. Ok. Yuna, according to the colour of your eyes, you are half Al Bhed, right?"

Yuna nodded. "Why?"

"Nothing. Just to make sure".

-------- HALF TIME ---------

"OIIIIIII!"

I shouted at the team.

"You bunch of baby went down by 2 goals?" I shouted again.

The Besaid Auroch went down by 2 goals before the half time. I went to the locker room as fast as possible to vent my anger to the team. They got Tidus and they can't possibly lose the game with him. Tidus was well known to be the top goalscorer that his former team, Zanarkand Abes, never unbeated for the whole season.

"Tidus!" I called his name.

"Yes Valcin?"

"Are you playing it seriously?"

"No."

"You good for nothi----"

Tidus interrupt me, "Relax. I am just waiting for you to join me and create a comeback!" He said cheerily.

"Look Tidus", I began to complain again. "If the goal went down by one, yes we can make it. But if by two…."

"Come on. You don't have faith on your brother? What do you say, Wakka?"

Wakka had been sitting on the locker bench for a long time while watching me shouting at the team. "Well, zone defend guys. Don't let them pass you."

I stared at Tidus.

"Sigh. Ok. Let go team!" Tidus shouted and put up his fist on the air.

---------------2nd Half-----------------

The game went underway. After the first minute went by, I must say, the Luca Goers were so easy that I managed to create a combination attack with Tidus. These people after 1000 years are getting soft. Most of the time, Tidus and I as well the rest of the team just passed each other to irritate the opponents. Before the end of the 2nd minute, Tidus used his father style shot – Jecht Shot – where he shoot the ball using bicycle style kick. The result of that shot was that the ball went through the water very fast that the Luca Goers goalkeeper unable to protect it.

2 – 2

Wakka replace Tidus in the 3rd minute. The game continued with Luca Goers had the ball. As I thought, I managed to steal the ball and passed to Wakka. He perfectly caught it and managed to go pass the opponent's defender lines of defend. He blasted the ball home with his venom shot.

3 – 2

This was the most easily game I had before. I wonder how in the world the Luca Goers always unbeaten? We controlled the game until the end. Finally, I had done something useful here. The veteran was right. I pawned them. I laughed in my head when looking at Luca Goers. But another thought came to me. What will I do after the game? I pondered that question as I floated back to the exit of the sphere pool.

Next Chapter: Ambush

This chapter is soooooo crap. Just done it after my exam end. Oh yes, I failed to mention in the last chapter that I am going to have a one month break because of exam, did I?

Well, exam is up so I can write a chapter every one week unless something comes up.

Oh I m very tired. Please R&R

One more thing. I got some problem uploading this chapter to internet. I don't know why. Instead, I used Mozilla Firefox – took one week to figure out –

Because of that I am reeeeeeeeeeeeeeallly far behind my schedule, I'll try to complete the next chapter and post it up later (at the same day).

PS: I got a longer chapter at first but I skipped Blitzball game a lot for this one, TyrantFlame.
