Chapter 2:

The game was on and everyone was at the stadium, excited about the game of the year. Well, almost everyone...

Further from the stadium, a smiling man around his forties was walking cheerfully on the road. Suddenly, he stopped at his tracks. "Huh? What is this?", he shouted in fear as he gazed at a giant unidentifiable object approaching Zanarkand, destroying everything in its path.

"Oh, no! Tidus, help!", the man screamed and started running towards the stadium. By the time he reached the stadium though, people were running and screaming. The game had come to a sudden end...

Among the scared people, Tidus walked out of the stadium with slow, sure steps. The older man, upon seeing him, screamed in delight and run to him. "Tidus! What's going on?", he asked in a trembling voice. Tidus sighed and started walking.. "You are late, Auron. Follow me...". And so he did...

Running and dodging people and ruins, the two men suddenly came face-to-face with a group of what looked like oversized insects. "Fiends!", shouted Auron and run behind Tidus for shelter. Tidus turned to look at him and motioned at the katana the older man was carrying. "We fight. Do you have a weapon for me? It's time to write my story..."

"With a weapon?", Auron asked, a puzzled look on his face. Tidus looked at him grimly: "It's an expression, Auron. So... The weapon?"

"Oh, yeah!", said Auron, grabbing a sword he was carrying with him, almost losing his balance by its weight. "Your old man gave this to me once. It's a sword! Let's use it to beat these fiends!". Tidus took the sword without saying a word, and turned to face the fiends, holding the sword skillfully.

After the two men managed to cut through the insect-like fiends and what seemed like a tentacle on vacation, they came to a road which started breaking apart. "Tidus, what are we going to do now? We're too young to die!", Auron said while looking around in fear. Tidus grabbed the man's arm steadily and motioned to a half-broken road next to the one they were positioned. "There. Jump."

Tidus expertly jumped to the road and Auron followed, almost missing the target. When both men were on the road, they realised that the unknown entity was right above them. Auron looked at it shocked and barely managed to ask: "What... what is this, Tidus?"

The blond boy looked at Auron with his stern, serious eyes. "It is time", he whispered. "This is my story". And with that he was drawn in the being. "What about me? TIDUS!", Auron was left shouting.

Ok, that's it for now! I know it's not much longer than the previous one, but I try to cut the chapters in relation to the events. For example, the next chapter will be from the ruins until just before Besaid. Please review if you liked the story (please review even if you didn't like it), and if you have any suggestions about the story, feel free to tell me!
