*Insert Final Fantasy X HD Remastered OST the Blitzers

Leon was at the near the sail as he beheld Luca. It was quiet larger then what he expected after seeing Besaid and Kilika but Luca was big. Leon couldn't help but smile as the people in the docks walked about doing their business trading and getting ready to watch Blitzball. Leon could hear the announcer talking as he was calling out to the people who came to watch the Blitzball game.

The City was large as people were enjoying themselves as the boat docked at the docks. Leon also heard the announcer talking about someone called Meister Mika and his 50th year in office which Leon had to admit that was impressive so if he had to guess Spira was some sort of democracy as he had heard of certain countries being a democracy in his travels. As the ship docked Leon looked to Yuna and her group before speaking.

"I need to head on ahead its Makai Order related business." Leon said as Wakka nodded.

"It's alright you have your duties and we have ours just be sure to meet back with us at the lockers." Wakka said as Leon nodded.

"Of course." Leon said before he walked away. As he walked he caught a glimpse of another boat and saw a man with an odd style of blue hair wearing regal robes as Leon almost missed it but he noticed an amulet around his neck that looked oddly familiar. As Leon walked he failed to notice that this man had noticed Leon or more importantly Zaruba and the Garoken before he smirked.

(Meanwhile at a nearby café)

At a café a young man with dark green hair and dark blue eyes was enjoying a meal as he was wearing dark clothing with a duster and two short swords under his duster as he take. Around his neck was an amulet similar to Zaruba but it looked more like a wolf head with a woman's mouth on it. As he was about to take another bite the Amulet spoke.

"Cole." The Amulet spoke as Cole looked at the Madou Amulet.

"Yes Silva?" He asked as Silva then spoke.

"I smell Horrors Blood and its potent it seems a Makai Knight didn't carry out his duty in cutting this person down when the Horrors blood got on her." Silva spoke as Cole then got up.

"I see looks like I have to clean up this guy's mess." Cole said as he finished eating before paying for his food. As he walked away you could tell he wasn't exactly normal as he entered the city of Luca.

(With Leon)

Leon arrived at the location to the Watchdog center before presenting the Madou Tool he was given and with it he opened a path as the entrance was in an area out of sight as it was a wall in the less well known part of the docks. Leon entered it as he had to talk to the Watchdog unaware that he was followed by Yuna who was accompanied by Kimahri.

(Watchdog Center)

*Insert Dissidia Final Fantasy OST prologue

Leon entered to see a woman in a pure white dress, with pure snow white hair as she sat on a throne as she gave Leon little notice. "So it seems that the Golden Knight really has resurfaced it took you long enough your late." The Watchdog said as she read a book.

"I know." Leon said as he looked at the Watchdog.

"Anyway I'll cut straight to the chase you're millions of years beyond your time and we waited for you for a long time." The Watchdog said as Leon nodded.

"Yes I got that much." Leon said before the Watchdog closed her book.

"Now then why is it that you have not cut down this summoner touched by Horrors Blood?" She asked as Leon knew he was caught.

"I thought we could use her to our advantage to attract Horrors that way I can cut them down." Leon lied as the Watchdog.

"Fine do as you please if anything happens it's on your head." The Watchdog said as Leon nodded.

"Very well."

"Now then for now continue to be the summoners guardian and find out what you can on Sin the more information on Sin we have the more advantage we can have in cutting it down now go." The Watchdog ordered before Leon did a respectful bow and left

*End OST

(Outside)

*insert Final Fantast X HD Remastered OST Luca

Leon arrived outside and saw Yuna there waiting for him. "Yuna what are you doing here?" Leon asked as Yuna smiled

"I followed you since you missed the chance to see Meister Seymour." Yuna said as Leon looked.

"I see." Leon said as Yuna nodded.

"Now then let's got meet up with Wakka at the locker room." Yuna said as Leon followed before stopping for a moment.

Yuna noticed before smiling. "Don't worry we'll see Auron if he's here then perhaps he knows what happened to Lady Anna." Yuna said before Leon nodded and followed Yuna to the locker room for the Besaid Aurochs.

The door creaked as Leon opened it, and he slowly walked in, the eyes of the Aurochs fixed on him. The Besaid Aurochs' locker room was located deep inside Luca Stadium. The sunny yellow of the team uniforms was recreated with the locker doors and the sandy-colored benches, though the team inside didn't seem affected by it.

The Aurochs were scattered around the room, sitting and standing alert, faces expectant as they watched him. For a moment, they waited, and then collectively they sighed. Leon guessed he wasn't the person they'd been expecting to walk through the door.

Leon glanced around the room, realizing that someone was missing. "Where's Wakka?" he asked. He'd been at the Watchdog for a moment, and, by his guess since he wasn't here that time, Wakka had been trying to give a pep talk to the team when he was gone. Now, the Aurochs sat dejectedly and wandered restlessly, their faces devoid of emotion.

Datto looked up from his feet to answer Leon. "At the match-up draws." he said flatly.

"We had to play the Goers in the first match last year," Letty told him as he walked closer.

"And I take it you lost at the first round last year?" Leon asked.

"Yeah! And the year before that, and the one before that, too!" Jassu added.

Keepa sighed. "Well, we would've lost to anyone anyway," he said in his low rumble.

It was then that Wakka walked in as Leon looked and saw Wakka. "Cap'n Wakka." A member greeted as Leon looked.

Wakka put his fist up in an assuring way as he had a grin. "We're playing the Al-Behd Psyches first. If we win we're in the finals." Wakka said shocking the team as Leon crossed his arms. "That's right we got seeded! Two wins and we're the champions." Wakka said as that caused the team to cheer. "Now first things first let's go over the basics again boys." Wakka said as Leon nodded knowing he was finally going to learn how to play Blitzball.

(After the explanation)

Leon nodded as he got everything before he yawned a bit. That was when the door opened again and in came Yuna and Lulu. "Leon I was asking around and heard someone say they saw Sir Auron in the Cafe." Yuna said as Leon stood up.

"Are you sure?" Leon asked as he looked to Yuna.

"Yes, let's go find him." Yuna said as Leon then followed her to the door.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey; hey! The game starts real soon!" Wakka called as Leon looked. "Come back real soon ya!" He called as Leon nodded.

"Of course." Leon said before noticing Wakka on edge. "Wakka just relax your on edge like you said we got seeded so we have to be relaxed." Leon said as Wakka nodded and breathed. As Yuna laughed a bit at this.

(Later)

Leon and Yuna with Kimahri were outside as Leon looked. "Maybe now we can find Lady Anna." Yuna said as Leon looked to her. Leon didn't ask even if he didn't know how finding Auron would locate Anna.

"I'll ask in Leon's place, how will locating Auron help us find Anna?" Zaruba asked as Leon glared at the Madou Ring.

"Hey!" Leon yelled with a glare as Yuna looked.

"Auron was also one of my father's guardians." Yuna said as it was making sense. "So he might know where Lady Anna is." Yuna said as Leon nodded. "Let's go now." Yuna said before walking off.

It didn't even occur to me that the Auron Yuna was talking about... and the one I met in my time could be two different people. I don't know why but I knew he was the same person, the same Auron.

Leon began to follow Yuna before he noticed the Al-Behd Psyches team members in the hall as they were talking. The only world Leon could make out was A Summoner which was odd to say the least why they would talk about Yuna.

"Hey Al Behd Psyches some of your people helped me a while back so if you see a girl named Rikku please tell her I said thank you." Leon said in English sense he wasn't fluent in Al Behd. So with that said he left to catch up with Yuna.

Leon arrived outside and looked around to see if he could locate Yuna.

He could see Kimahri and Yuna standing among a thicket of people and what looked like a sphere news crew. He jogged along the road, dodging people moving in the opposite direction as he went. When finally he reached them, Yuna was laughing softly as she bowed her head to the sphere crew.

"I'm sorry, please let me through," she asked. The man holding the sphere camera moved back to give Yuna room, but the woman with the microphone stayed close behind. Her eyes were trained on the back of Yuna's head, and she looked eager to get an interview.

"Hey, let's go," said Yuna to Leon when she noticed he'd caught up.

Leon looked around at the people crowding them. There were women and men of all different ages, each of them speaking excitedly in hushed voices as they pointed out Yuna. Kimahri stood by the sphere crew, squaring his broad shoulders as he made sure that the cameras kept their distance. At the back of the crowd, Leon was sure he'd seen someone performing the prayer though.

"What's wrong?" Yuna asked.

"Sorry. But as far as I can tell, you're pretty well known." Leon said.

"Well she is the daughter of a High Summoner." Zaruba said, in a tone where no one but he and Yuna could hear him.

'Yeah. But they only know her for what she is right now but not who.' Leon replied through the mental link.

The trio walked to the bridge as Yuna stopped getting worried. "I hope we don't get separated." Yuna said as that gave Leon and idea.

"Yuna." Leon said as Yuna looked only to see Leon with his fingers cupped in his mouth before he let out a shrill whistle which surprised Yuna.

"What was that?" Yuna asked shocked.

"A trick my father taught me when I was younger he would tell me if we ever get separated to do that and he'll come running." Leon explained remembering how his father brought him to different towns and how he got lost as a child as Yuna looked to Leon. "You should try it to in case we do get separated." Leon said as Yuna looked confused. "You need to do this for it to work." Leon continued as he cupped his fingers to show Yuna before putting it in his mouth.

"Like this?" Yuna asked as she tried but failed.

"No like this." Leon said as he showed Yuna as Yuna tried and fix it. Once Leon was sure she got it right here nodded. "Now just blow." Leon said as Yuna then tried but failed.

"It's not working." Yuna said in disappointment as she was hoping she could get it down.

"Just practice." Leon said as encouraged before Yuna nodded.

"Okay." Yuna said as Leon did his rare smile.

"Use that if we get separated I'll come help you if you use it." Leon said as Yuna smiled as well. "We should stay together till you can do it." Leon said as Yuna nodded.

"Yes sir." She said with a smile.

"Not to spoil the moment but I sense another piece of the Al-Behd language nearby." Zaruba said as Leon turned to Yuna.

"Can we take a quick detour?" Leon asked as Yuna nodded.

"Of course." Yuna said before she began following Leon. They soon arrived at a hotel of sorts which Leon found the language in the huge lobby and now had a better chance of deciphering the Al-Behd language.

Leon and Yuna then went back to their original path and found themselves in the town square. Leon looked around and saw it was a totally different world from Besaid and Kilika. "This is a big town." Leon said as he looked around.

"Luca is the second largest city in Spira." Yuna said as Leon looked.

"I expected it to be small like Besaid and Kilika." Leon said as Yuna smiled.

"Well sense the Blitzball stadium is here it's bound to be big." Yuna said as she continued. "Towns don't usually get bigger the Besaid and Kilika." Yuna explained as Zaruba knew why.

"Because the more people there are the more Sin is attracted." Zaruba spoke as Yuna nodded.

"So the Crusaders and the Summoners fight with all their heart not only for their favorite team but also to protect this place." Leon said as he looked.

Yuna walked passed Leon to the statue as she then turned to Leon. "Blitzball is all we really have for entertainment Spira is short on fun these days." Yuna said as Leon looked at the statue. "Is Valiante like this too?" Yuna asked as Leon looked.

"No by day its peaceful children play whatever comes to mind or help their families, but by night that is when Horrors come out." Leon said as he looked to Yuna.

"So Horrors really do thrive in the night." Yuna said sadly as she remembered when she met that Horror in Besaid. "Let's go find Sir Auron." Yuna said with her normal smile before they began heading to the Cafe. As they left Cole appeared as he looked at Silva.

"She's the one?" Cole asked as he looked at the Summoner.

"Yes I'm sure of it, it would be better to get them alone before taking her down." Silva said as Cole nodded.

"This will probably get messy with witnesses." Cole said before chuckling a bit. "Sorry Lady-Yuna nothing personal I'm just showing mercy." Cole said before keeping tabs on them.

The two entered the cafe and though the room was packed with people, it was easy to see that they had been misled. Despite the scattering of tables around the room, Leon and Yuna found themselves inside a bar and not a cafe. The room was decorated with brightly colored streamers and banners depicting the logos of every blitz team competing in the tournament. The bar was abuzz with chattering voices, each speaking quickly, words fading into the background babble as Leon scanned the room for that familiar dark red coat.

"Where is he?" Yuna asked, standing on her toes to see above the heads of the crowd.

"He's not here." Leon sighed.

Yuna then began to look around as Zaruba sighed. "She's wasting her breath I don't sense Auron here." Zaruba said as Leon looked at his Madou Ring.

"I see." Leon said as Yuna looked.

It wasn't long before people began to gasp as two Ronso's were pushing Kimahri as it was evident Kimahri was shorter than them. Both were dressed similar to Kimahri but one had blond and black fur and the other brown and light blue fur as both had whole horns. "Why not talk Kimahri? Not see Yenke for ten years. Say something!" The Ronso to Kimahri's right named Yenke said as Leon saw there must have been some bad blood between Kimahri and the two Ronso's. "Kimahri forget Yenke? Forget Biran?" Yenke asked as Leon got a closer look.

'I sense Inga building up.' Zaruba said through the mental link as Leon knew he shouldn't interfere.

"Leave Kimahri Yanke. Kimahri small Ronso." Biran began as he taunted Kimahri. "Kimahri so small can't see Yenke and Biran's faces." Biran said which Yenke then laughed.

"Kimahri forget Ronso friends? We taught you much at time of horn molt!" Yenke yelled getting into Kimahri's face. "Biran taught Kimahri to be strong Ronso." Yenke yelled as Biran joined in.

"Maybe taught too much." Biran said before Leon had enough and snuck behind the two while they were distracted. Kimahri saw Leon and gave him a look telling the Makai Knight to let him fight his own battles which Leon understood and backed off.

Without warning, Kimahri clenched his fist and delivered a swift uppercut straight into Yenke's lower jaw. The blow knocked Yenke off his feet, and he was thrown backwards, landing awkwardly on the floor. The crowd gasped in fright, but didn't move, transfixed on the encounter before them.

"Take it outside!" boomed a man's voice from somewhere behind the bar. "The tournament's staring, you hear?"

Leon whipped around just as Biran threw a punch at Kimahri, looking up to the largest sphere screen as the camera showed an overhead shot of the docks and Luca Stadium.

"Today on this glorious day players from all over Spira have assembled here in this great contest of bravery, skill, and strength." The old man Meister Mika said on the Sphere screen.

*end ost

(At the Stadium)

"All of these fine teams equally renowned deserve to win the Cup today." Mika said from his Balcony as the Captains of each team stood side by side. "Such is the nature of this contest. Let us the spectators play our role accordingly: let us sing to the glory of the winners and applaud equally to the valor of the defeated." The old man said as the teams were ready. "Contestants may Yevon be with you." Mika said as he did the prayer.

The score board shined in the sun before pipes were released which released the water in the large glass sphere as it began to fill up which made Leon who was watching unnerved. Peopled cheered as the crowd was excited for the competition to get underway. It wasn't long that the Sphere was filled that the Aurochs and the Psyches entered and we're swimming around to get to position ready to play.

Once the score board was set the Blitzball launched as the two players went after it to get it first.

*end ost

(Back with Leon)

Kimahri was still fighting the two Ronso's that Zaruba noticed someone missing. "Leon, Kimahri Yuna is gone!" Zaruba called as they were shocked.

*Insert Final Fantasy X HD remaster ost Inflexible Determination

Biran took the chance when Kimahri was distracted and punched Kimahri before the duo ran to locate Yuna. It wasn't long that they arrives outside to begin their search. It wasn't long that they were soon greeted by Lulu as she looked at the duo.

"Where in Spira have you been?" Lulu asked as Leon had a hunch she knew what was going on already. "Yuna has been kidnapped by the Al-Behd Psyches in exchange for her safe return they want the Aurochs to lose." Lulu said as Leon looked. "If there only Blitzball players I doubt they would do anything drastic." Lulu said as Zaruba then spoke.

"Perhaps but what about a Makai Knight?" Zaruba spoke as Leon looked. "I smelled Soul Metal no doubt a Makai Knight has gone on ahead and probably cleared a path for us." Zaruba said trying to hide the Horrors blood slowly killing Yuna.

"Then perhaps we have help but we shouldn't take chances let's go save her the Al-Behd boat is in dock 4." Lulu explained before everyone nodded and went in the direction of Dock 4.

(With Cole)

Cole was dealing with the Machina enemies as he used his twin Soul Metal short swords to deal with him. "Best to leave a few machines behind intact we could use it as a distraction." Silva said as Cole nodded.

"Goodnight idea Silva." Cole said before going to the boat.

(Back with Leon)

The party got to the pathway to Dock 4 as they were soon met with machines of sorts as Leon drew Brotherhood not wanting to use the Garoken on these fiends. "What are these contraptions?" Leon asked as he was ready.

"Ancient Machina salvaged by the Al-Behd they are vulnerable to lightning." Lulu explained as Leon nodded. Once Lulu performed her Thunder spells the Machina fell apart before they continued forward finding destroyed Machina that looked to have been cut by a sword as some still remained.

"We must hurry." Leon said as he was in a rush.

Leon became aware of an annoying voice echoing throughout the dock. He looked up at the sphere monitor hanging from the rafters of the roofing. The speakers fixed either side of the screen were blaring as a pair of yellow trousers sped past the camera.

'Wakka!' Leon thought, focusing his ears to decipher the announcer's irritating voice as it bounced around the empty docks. For the time being, the monitor was showing an overhead of the sphere pool. Leon squinted at the screen, only just able to make out the sunny yellow of the Aurochs swimming frantically through the water. In the bottom right corner of the screen, the score sat at two goals per team.

"The Aurochs are keeping the score tied with some excellent defense, folks!" the commentator – Bobba, if Leon remembered correctly – told the spectators. The camera switched, focusing on one of the Aurochs as they caught the Blitzball.

The member was none other than Wakka asked the Psyches ganged up and bashed in to him as it was clear Wakka will feel that in the morning. Even though Wakka was keeping strong Leon and Zaruba could tell. "He won't last much longer." Zaruba said as Leon watched.

"We need to hurry." Leon said before they began running to the boat. The boat was setting said as you could hear the sounds of a battle going on, on its deck. Leon could also hear gunfire as the trio quickly ran to the boat and jumped onto the boat only to see Cole jumping high in the air and cutting the large Machina in two. Once done he looked at the trio before sighing.

"Was hoping those machine I spared would stall you." Cole said as Lulu looked.

"You're a Makai Knight who are you?" Lulu asked as she glared.

"Cole the Silver Knight Zero." Cole said as he looked. "None of you are my target so run along." Cole said just as the door opened to reveal an Al-Behd who fell down knocked out with Yuna behind him. "There she is, the tainted girl." Cole said as he held his sword scared at the ready no doubt to kill Yuna.

"Tainted?" Lulu asked as both Kimahri and Leon acted and attacked Cole who dodged by jumping away as they stood protectively before Yuna.

Cole looked at them as he landed on the crane as he got the picture. "You never told them have you Golden Knight?" Cole said as Leon drew the Garoken.

"None of your business!" Leon called out as he charged at him in an attempt to keep him quiet about the Horrors Blood.

"Told us what?" Lulu asked as Cole used his twin sword to block the attack. Leon noticed Cole's battle style was much similar to Leon father's battle style making him believe Zoro and Zero were related somehow. Cole blocked the attack as Kimahri and Lulu got Yuna to a safe distance.

"Oh my, you really are willing to break the Makai's laws just to protect one girl." Cole said as Leon glared.

"Shut up!" He yelled as Leon tried to keep his temper down as Cole blocked the attack.

"I guess I can tell them." Cole said before he pinned Leon so he wouldn't interfere. "Now then Yuna is dying." Cole said cutting straight to the chase which surprised everyone. "All because she got Horrors blood on her and to make matters worse every time she performs a Sending or a Summoning the timer accelerates and she has less time to live and there is only one way to save her but the cure lies in the Farplane." Cole said before Leon pushed him off as Lulu looked.

"Leon, is this true?" Lulu asked as Leon was silent which was, more, than enough to give Lulu her answer.

"I already knew." Yuna said as Lulu was shocked.

"I say it would be better to kill her now save her from the cruel fate of a slow and painful death or being a Horrors meal." Cole said as Leon glared.

"No." Leon said as Cole looked. "I won't kill her nor will I allow her to die, if the cure lies in the Farplane then I will travel there and get it and save Yuna's life, if I can save even one person's life then it will be worth it." Leon said as Cole looked skeptical.

"Then how about we cut loose a bit." Cole said as he crossed his swords together in front of him. "We can finish this in 99.9 seconds and don't worry it will be our little secret." Cole said as Leon then get the Garoken ready.

*End OST

Leon and Cole at the same time then raised their swords skyward before cutting an energy circle above them which then opened into a portal and from it pieces of armor came out. Cole was no wearing silver armor that held resemblance to Zoro bit it lacked the jewel on the head and on the belt was not a z but a diagonal line, the armor was symmetrical but the resemblance was uncanny. The swords were scimitar like blades that resembled Brotherhood as he grinded the blades together creating sparks. This was the Silver Knight Zero.

*Insert Zero Black Blood by Jam Project

Garo and Zero took their battle stances before charging at each other striking at the other there swords colliding with each other creating sparks. Garo roared as he did a stab at Zero who jumped over it and slashed at Garo causing him damage. Garo was knocked back as he quickly regained his footing before Zero charged and slashed at Garo who dodged and performed a strike at Zero which the blow was laid.

Garo and Zero roared as they slashed at each other before they knocked each other away into different ends of the boat. "Leon doesn't have much room to maneuver on this boat." Lulu said as Leon and Zero glared at each other.

Then then charged at each other before out of nowhere a pure white bird appeared and intervened by creating a burst of energy which forced the two Makai Knights down and out of there armor as Cole was shocked.

*End OST

"Madame Watchdog?!" Cole asked as Lulu was shocked as was Yuna.

"Calm yourselves Makai Knights Golden Knight Garo has received permission from me to travel to the Farplanes to retrieve the fruit in which can cure Yuna." The Watchdog said through the bird as Cole looked.

"But Madam Watchdog you can't be serious they will never make it in time with all the Fiends and Horrors between here and Gaudosalam." Cole said before the Watchdog chuckled.

"That is why you will assist them Silver Knight Zero." The Watchdog said as Cole was shocked.

"What!?" Cole exclaimed, but not loudly. Leon agrees with him though.

"Do you have any objections Lady Yuna for having another Guardian to assist you?" The Watchdog asked as the bird looked to Yuna.

"He did try to kill you Yuna what's to say he won't try again?" Lulu said as Kimahri was silent.

"He was only following his Orders laws but I am also to blame when Leon fought that Horror in Besaid I should have ran but I had stayed to see if the stories Lady Anna told of the Golden Knight Garo were true it was my own foolishness that caused this so if anyone is to blame its me." Yuna said as Leon looked.

"Yuna..." Leon said as Yuna then smiled.

"So I welcome you as my guardian Cole, Silver Knight Zero." Yuna said as Lulu was shocked.

"She seems nice." Silva said surprising Yuna.

"Hey... anyway this is Silva." Cole said as he showed his Madou Necklace.

"Very well I don't like it but I trust Yuna though I will keep my eye on you Cole was it?" Lulu said as she then glared at Leon. "And you we will have a talk about honesty and trust after the competition." Lulu said as she then looked over Yuna.

Meanwhile Leon was walking around the ship as he had to admit it looked exactly like the one he met Rikku on minus the large containers. Yuna noticed before decided to ask. "What is it?" Yuna asked as she looked at Leon.

"There were these Al-behd that saved my life when I first arrived in Spira." Leon said as he looked to Yuna. "They took me on their ship and gave me food." Leon said as Zaruba spoke.

"He still has to repay them for helping him, or trying to help him sense he did fall off the boat at the time." Zaruba said as Leon glared at the Madou Ring.

"In a way I was hoping this was the same ship. But it's not." Leon said as he motioned to the boat. "Though I wonder though if they are all gone or if there ok." Leon said as Yuna looked.

"What happened?" Yuna asked as Leon looked.

"Sin came near the boat and though I made it out ok I do not know what happened to their ship." Leon said as Lulu was still glaring.

"Um was there anyone called Cid on the ship?" Yuna asked as Leon looked and could see she was really hoping there was.

"We don't know they were speaking in Al-behd and I was still learning the language at the time." Zaruba spoke as Leon nodded to Zaruba's words.

"I see." Yuna said sadly as Leon was curios.

"So who is this Cid?" Leon asked as he looked to Yuna.

"He's my uncle, but I never actually met him." Yuna said as Leon looked.

"So then you are also Al-behd Yuna?" Leon asked as he looked to Yuna.

"On my mother's side yes. Cid is my mother's brother. He became distant after my mother married. But she told me to seek him out if I ever needed help." Yuna said as Leon got the gist of it.

"So you're worried he was...?" Leon trailed off as he put his hands under his chin.

"Don't tell Wakka about Yuna's lineage." Lulu warned as Leon nodded.

"It's not my place to tell but Yuna's when she feels ready." Leon said as he walked to the crane.

"Good the thing about Wakka he never had much love for the Al-behd." Lulu said as Leon nodded to that.

That was when Yuna realized something. "The Game!" Yuna called out as Lulu was wide eyed clearly forgetting about it.

*Insert Final Fantasy X HD Remastered OST the Splendid Performance

"Oh best to send Wakka the signal." Lulu said before he sent a ball of Magic energy to the sky where it exploded into a star of light.

(Stadium)

Wakka saw the signal as he smiled seeing that Yuna was ok. He then motioned for his teammate to go on an all-out offensive as they charged forward with the intent to defeat the Al-Behd Psyches. Once of Wakka's sent a long pass to Wakka who was able to catch it as Wakka began swimming torts he goal. It wasn't long that an Al-behd Psyche member came below Wakka and bashed him but Wakka used the momentum to flip over the Al-behd before shooting the Blitzball torts the goal, the Al-behd goalie tried to catch it but the ball entered the net giving the Aurochs the third goal and by a count of 3-2 the Aurochs have won the match.

(At the Docks)

"Thank goodness we won." Leon said as he and Yuna were next to each other as they watched the screen with Lulu keeping a close eye on Cole.

"We did it! We're in the finals!" Yuna called out happily as Lulu looked.

"Not the most... graceful win. If it was Chappu he would still be standing." Lulu said as Cole looked to Lulu.

"I don't know who Chappu is but aren't you being a bit unfair to your ally?" Cole asked as he looked to Lulu who quickly began glaring at him.

"Excuse me?" Lulu asked as Cole sighed.

"Whatever I don't even play Blitzball." Cole said as he turned back to the screen.

(Later at the locker rooms)

The group arrived at the locker room to find Wakka on the bench clearly hurt no doubt after taking a beating to protect Yuna. Leon walked in as the Blitzball rolled to his feet which he stopped before using his foot to get it to his hand. Leon looked at Wakka before speaking. "Wakka is injured I will cover for him in the match." Leon said as he passed the ball to a teammate before Lulu walked in showing Yuna behind her.

"Lady Yuna!" Datto called glad to see she was ok.

"Are you ok?" Letty asked as he looked to Yuna as Yuna stopped.

"All this because of me. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Yuna apologized with a bow but that was before Cole walked in.

"You have no idea." Cole said as Wakka looked.

"Who's he?" Wakka struggled as Yuna looked.

"We'll explain the whole story later but this man Cole is my newest guardian." Yuna said Wakka was to soar to deal with this.

"Anyway don't go near Al-behd anymore. Ok? They're trouble." Wakka said before laying down to wrest which made Yuna laugh a little.

(Later)

Once everything was prepared Yuna made sure Leon would be ok as this would be his first time playing Blitzball as once Yuna and Kimahri left for the stands with Cole following while being under the Ronso's watchful glare as Leon then entered the locker room again. Leon walked over to Wakka as he sat up with a groan of pain as he looked to Leon.

"The game starts soon. No time for warm ups. Ready?" Wakka asked as Leon looked.

"Of course." Leon said as Zaruba chuckled.

"Trial by fire." Zaruba joked as Leon nodded.

"Alright." Wakka said before he stood up to talk to his teammates.

But when he tried to take a step forward, he felt his body sore and was about to fall down but Leon got to him just in time and helped the orange/red haired man.

"I got something to tell you boys." Wakka began before standing on his own two feet. "After this game... I'm retiring." Wakka continued as his team listened. "I promised myself this would be my last tournament. Win or lose I'm quitting Blitzball." Wakka said before smiling. "But you know... Since we're here we might as well win." Wakka said as that got the team hyped.

"Yeah!" They called out as Lulu watched from the side lines.

"Now then let's cut down to business the Luca Goers they've, won every tournament but today that's going to change." Leon said taking command. "They are arrogant and cocky we'll use their egos to our advantage there leader dislikes me so I'll keep him busy if a leader can't control his temper and lead his team then they will surely lose." Leon said before explaining the strategy to the Aurochs.

Once the strategy was finalize Wakka turned to his team. "Alright boys, let's win this one let's make the Goers Goners." Wakka called out Leon looked.

"I don't know if this is accurate but... let's Blitz!" Leon said as the Aurochs cheered.

Leon saw Lulu walk torts Wakka asked the team left as he smiled.

(Outside)

"Alright you all know the plan. What are we going to do?" Leon asked as he looked to his teammates as they had their fists connected.

"WIN!" They all called out ready to win this match.

"For Cap'n Wakka." Botta said as everyone nodded just before the door to the pool behind them opened.

(In the Locker Room)

Lulu looked at Wakka as he was injured and had to take the bench but she smiled Wakka gave it his all and they are so close to winning now. It actually brought a rare smile to her face. 'Good Job Wakka.' Lulu thought as she smiled.

(In the Stands)

Auron walked through the halls to the stands as he came to watch the Blitzball game but more importantly he came to see Leon knowing he would probably come to the place where many people gather such as Luca as he shouldered his large sword.

(Spherepool)

The Aurochs just entered the spherepool and they are now face-to-face with the Luca Goers.

The two sides then took their positions to prepare to Blitz-off. The Luca Goer leader smirked as he tried to shake hands with Leon who already knew this was a way to edge him on. But Leon decided to take it before pulling his hand back just as the leader tried to hit Leon. Leon then made a taunting "bring it on," gesture as he the Luca Goer glared.

The Blitzball was soon set as it was ready to launch.

The ball soon spun around in place before launching into the air to which Leon caught and began swimming torts the opponent's goal. Leon dodged and avoided getting cornered. It wasn't until he was blocked by two Luca Goers that Leon looked around and saw Jazzu was open. Leon quickly broke through before passing the ball to Jazzu.

Jazzu caught it, but he was also impressed by how good Leon's throw was.

Jazzu began swimming torts the goal and he saw he had an opening before shooting torts the goal. The Blitzball sailed true as it hit the net scoring one for the Aurochs. Leon smirked as the Luca Goers as the game continued.

It was soon that the leader of the Luca Goers caught the ball as Leon came from below and bashed the Goer who quickly passed the ball to a teammate who began swimming torts the Aurochs goal. It wasn't long until the Goers got a goal that Leon glared.

(Stands)

"You can do it Leon!" Yuna cheered as Lulu arrived to watch the match.

Cole was in the corner next to Kimahri as the Ronso kept a close eye on the Makai Knight.

(Sphere)

Leon swam through the water as the match was neck to neck both sides were trying to get a goal in but there respected opponents wouldn't let them. But thanks to this the crowd was getting impatient as Leon could hear them calling out one name.

(Stands)

"WAKKA, WAKKA, WAKKA!" Came the chants as people wanted to see Wakka take stage.

(Pool)

Leon smiled with his eyes closed as he knew this wasn't his game to win but it was fun. Leon then began swimming to the lockers as he could hear the announcer say that his team was calling in a switch.

(Lockers)

Leon arrived to see Wakka on the bench as Wakka looked. "There calling for you Wakka." Leon said as Wakka looked and smiled before getting up. "It's time for you to make a win long overdue." Leon said as Wakka nodded and stood up.

(Outside)

Wakka entered as Leon smiled at Wakka's determination.

I wasn't jealous or anything like that quite frankly I was happy and also glad this was the Aurochs and Wakka's big moment it was not my place to steal it from them.

*Insert Final Fantasy X HD Remastered OST the Blitzers

(Pool)

Wakka entered the pool as the Aurochs were shocked to see there captain was back in action as the fans cheered in joy seeing Wakka was back.

The Blitzball teams then began the game again as Wakka was the one to catch the ball. Wakka swam right then left keeping the Goers off him. It was then he got blocked by a single Goer before Wakka broke through after the Goer tried to steal the ball. Wakka then saw the opening and shot the Blitzball to the goal as the goalie was unable to block it as it got the Aurochs the point they needed and with that the game ended when the timer had hit zero as people were shocked at this turn of events. It was a miracle but the Besaid Aurochs had won the match. Wakka leaned back as he floated as his injuries was catching up to him. He turned his head to his left and saw Leon swimming torts him as Wakka lifted up his hand and did a thumbs up to Leon who smiled and nodded.

That was when people were screaming that Leon saw it fiends had entered the Stadium and we're on a rampage.

Leon drew Brotherhood as Wakka drew his Blitzball as they were ready for combat. 'This is troublesome how did they even get in?' Zaruba asked through the Mental Link as Leon and Wakka fought their way through to the exit.

(Meanwhile in the Stands)

The man in a red coat who was none other than Auron stood there as people ran pass him to get away from the fiends. Auron looked to a pathway as a large fiend walked out as he glared at it. His left arm was inside his coat like a cast as his right over armored hand held his sword. Auron then took a battle stance as he raised his arm upward freeing his arm as he then charged at the Fiend and defeated it with one strike.

That was when Leon and Wakka arrived as Wakka was shocked. "Sirius Auron!?" Wakka called out as Leon glared.

"Auron." Leon said as he had Brotherhood on his back.

That was when a large flying Fiend appeared as the group glared at it. "We should end this quick Yuna could be in danger!" Zaruba called as Auron looked.

"I agree."

"This is so cool we get to battle alongside Auron." Wakka said as Leon drew the Garoken and Brotherhood.

"Ikuze!" Leon said as he ran towards the Fiend and jumped before slashing its wing, making it lose its ability to fly as it fell and landed near Auron.

Auron stabbed its head before slicing through it with ease. "Let's go." Auron ordered as Leon and Wakka followed him only to run into two fiends that stood in their way. They tried to turn around but behind them was another large flyer as they were now cornered. "I have no choice then." Leon said as he readied the Garoken.

"Leon don't." Auron said as Leon looked.

"Not yet the time will come for you to use your armor but now is not such time." Auron said as Leon looked.

(Meanwhile with Meister Seymour)

*Insert Final Fantast X HD Remastered OST Hymn of the Fayth

Seymour a man in regal clothing and large blue hair as well as long arms came to the front of the box he was in to watch the match. He smirked as he looked to the chaos as he sighed. "Seems I won't have to use my armor but I suppose Anima will suffice." Seymour said before he focused his power as he did the prayer before energy went to the sky.

From the sky an anchor came downward and imbedded into the ground creating a portal of sorts to a dark world. As the Anchor went deeper it soon caught something before it began to retract. From the portal a monstrous creature appeared as it was bandaged and chained no doubt to hold back its power. Its left eye was visible as around its neck was a talisman of sorts with a picture of a woman, on either side of it was what looked like Venus fly trap like flaps as its stared at the Fiends.

From its lone eye it began to fire an energy at each group of fiends destroying them with one hit. The Aeon was powerful perhaps even more powerful than the ones Yuna currently has. As it fired people looked and saw there savior destroying the fiends like they were mere insects in his presence.

Seymour saw they were all gone as people were amazed that such a powerful Aeon existed.

(With Leon)

*End OST

"Such power..." Leon said as he was surprised to see this to no end.

"Leon I sense this Aeon is different from Yuna's it almost seems dark I can sense it producing Jaki." Zaruba said as Leon looked. "I'd be careful of that Aeon if we ever have to face it in battle it might be by far our toughest fight yet." Zaruba said as Leon nodded to the Madou Ring.

"Understood."
