This chapter is dedicated to Kotetsu Bushido who is pretty much my primary reason for updating this chapter so soon. Mainly for the review I gotten. The better the reviews, the sooner I'm motivated.

A well-built man with flaming red hair sipped at his drink casually, green eyes scanning the bar. He was here for more important matters-an exclusive meeting with a man he hoped would be joining him soon. He had spotted him with the daughter of High Summoner Braska the other day.

Over the course of the last few days the man watched the fighter closely. Yes he realized he would be a perfect addition to the team. Well-built, and strong-willed. He was young, but he was rather skilled. It was rare to see him without Yuna, he was like Kimarahi in that regard but more talkative and without being blue.

He had strode up to him, and asked kindly if he could speak to him—alone. The blond gave him a curious look before deciding to see what the man wanted.

"The Crusaders are growing quickly, and I think you would be a nice addition."

"Just like that?" the blond suspiciously asked.

"Well I am the Captain, what I say goes."

The blond shook his head. "Thanks, but no thanks."

"It isn't only Summoners who also die if this cycle continues. Their guardians often don't come back either. You have your whole life ahead of you."

"This isn't open to discussion." Naruto remarked. "I made a promise to Yuna that I would become her guardian. I will stay by her side." he said as he walked out of the bar.

The jingle of an opening door awoke him from his deep thoughts. Ah, there he was. With auburn colored hair and dark tawny skin, he quickly strode over to the table, nodding at a waiter as he passed. The waiter smiled gleefully at his request.

"I've been waiting." The man stated coolly as the young man sat down. They talked it out, as the young man decided to join the Crusaders.

"I see...so is that why you want to join the Crusaders?" the man finally asked. The blond gave his reasons for not joining, so why did this man join.

"I love Lu, ya know and being with your girl is good..." He stopped here for a moment, trying to think of the right words. "But keeping Sin away from her is better."

The man was impressed and nodded his head. "Truer words have never been spoken, my friend. Welcome aboard, mate." He said, sticking out his hand to the Besaid man. His mouth opened in shocked surprise.

"Thank you, sir." the man finally choked out.

The red-haired leader let out a small chuckle. "Call me Luzzu, everyone does."

Elsewhere Naruto was being attended to by Yuna. "So yeah, I think I might be ruling out fire." he said as Yuna was casting the cure spell on Naruto's hand. The former had just started his training in elemental enchanted weapons. Enchanters were highly skilled craftsman trained in both weapons making and magical arts. They were able to combine magic and even parts of fiend to make special effects on items. The most skilled enchanters could even make armors resistant against the elements and other effects.

"Maybe, you just need a bit more practice?" she said as she finished the spell.

"Yeah, maybe!" he said as they made there way back to the village. Naruto then heard something that scared him.

"I was thinking you would learn a trade, not go off and get yourself killed!"

First of all, the voice belonged to Lulu. That on its own was scary enough, you don't make a habit of pissing off someone that could freeze your face off. Two, she was shouting. Lulu didn't shout.

"How many more people have to die? Summoners and Guardians have been fighting against Sin for a thousand years now, ya? I can't just sit by while you go off with Summoner Zeke to fight Sin."

"We...we should go." Yuna urged him. Chappu and Lulu were having a spat and she didn't want to intrude.

"I...okay." he relented as he let Yuna lead him away. It wouldn't be long until they learned about Chappu joining the crusaders. Thing became tense between Wakka-Chappu-Lulu as a result from this. Though, despite it all, even if they didn't like his decision, his friends were going to stand by him.

They were all down at the dock, seeing Chappu off. "Well Kimarahi, we never talked much, but you know, take care." he bid the silent catman goodbye as he turned to the others. "You guys...don't be so sad. I'm going to make it back. "

"Hey, Chappu! You'd better be leaving soon, ya? You don't want to miss your boat."

"Yeah, you're right, Wakka," he said, brushing past Lulu. "Lulu, I'm going to make it back to you. I promise."

Lulu couldn't describe her emotions at that point. She wanted to lash out, scream at him, plead for Chappu not to go, but she knew it was useless. Chappu was probably the most stubborn person she had ever met, well, besides Wakka probably.

"Just...come back to me." she simply said.

"I will, that's a promise." he said as wrapped his arms around Lulu and kissed her. After it was over he turned his attention to Yuna and Naruto.

"Take care Yuna, stay out of trouble."

"I will!" she replied with a nod.

"You too bro. Look after everyone while I'm gone."

"I will, just don't die out there." Naruto couldn't help but feel this was a bad idea, but this was Chappu's choice and he wanted to respect the man's wishes.

"Hey, you forgot your sword!" Wakka called out.

Chappu stopped in his tracks. He turned slowly back to his brother. Wakka was standing there, holding the sword out to him: the symbol of their brotherhood bond.

"No. I didn't forget," he said honestly.

"Wha?" Wakka asked, puzzled.

"I… thought I'd be better off… " he trailed off rather uneasily, knowing one he finished his brother was going to explode. "Using one of the weapons on the site."

"Machina?!" Wakka demanded.

"Yes," said Chappu, sounding ashamed.

"Chappu." if it was possible, Lulu had paled even more. "Machina is against the teachings. Surely you must be joking."

"But, it makes sense. What good is a sword going to do against a monster like sin? Yeah, Machina are forbidden, but they're powerful. Maybe we might finally be able to beat sin with them."

"But, Sin is our punishment for the bad things we do. If we go against Yevon's teachings, isn't that bad?" Wakka questioned.

"And how long will we be continued to punish? A Year? Hundreds? Thousands! Something has to be done, we can't sit around while Sin destroys anymore families." the troubled faces of his friends spoke otherwise. "There is nothing to worry about. I'll come back in one piece. Just you see guys, things will work out. Come on everyone, Lu, smile."

Lulu faked a smile. She would never do that for anyone but him.

"That's more like it. When I come back we'll have a big party and we'll win that championship. Though they'll be plenty of time to talk about that later. I have to hurry!"

Chappu picked up his bag and rushed off down the hill. Wakka looked down at the sword in his hand. Despite his strong belief in Yevon, he couldn't give his brother a lecture on the truth. Lulu just stood. No words would escape her lips. In another world, the two would have underwent many trials. A result of Chappu being unable to fufill his promise.

Though, this wasn't that story.

Men were screaming at each other, pulling cannons to the shore. Sin was coming. Battalions of people ran past us both and we tried to stick together. As always the monstrous creature always left destruction in its wake. As always the creature had sent fiends to attack the area.

"Fire! Keep them to the shore! Give them no quarter!" one of the commanding officers shouted. Rifles and canons were fired. Explosions echoed throughout the area. Men were being tossed aside, limbs ripped off by teeth and fatal blows struck by claws.

Chappu never realized just how horrible it was to see people die around him. He had seen the aftermath, but seeing men tore alive right in front of him was different.

"Beclem! We need some back-up over here!"

"Shit! Nooj and the others are down! There's just too many of them!"

Bullets continued to fire as dog-like and imp like creatures fell one by one. Pyreflies erupted from there bodies as shell like creatures began to rush at them by the dozens. Bullets proved useless against the tough shells of the creatures. Using their rock like bodies they rammed into into crusaders, easily shattering the bones of their bodies on impact. Those who were unlucky to be knocked over had their skulls caved in.

Sin appeared to grow tired of the squabble as it began to draw in some energy. A red like beam erupted from the creature's mouth and for the Crusaders, everything went black.

Chapter End

This chapter served two purposes. Slight X-2 cameos and a bridge between the original material and a time skip. The next chapter will pretty much be Naruto and Yuna's relationship blossoming and then finally getting up to the point where the game would start. Either way, hope you guys been enjoying the chapter.

Anyway, so what are your thoughts?

Do you think Chappu is...Dead or Alive? Give your thoughts on why and support your evidence.
