"Ah, Sephiroth, you're a little late aren't you?" Sephiroth turned his head to look at the person that was speaking to him. As expected, he found Maleficent, the "Mistress of Darkness" standing there. Sephiroth said nothing in response, just simple got down to the point.

"So how is recovering the Armors coming?"

Maleficent, not surprised at all by Sephiroth's response, answered his question almost instantly. "We have already broken four of the five seals. I believe that your Masamune is needed to break the last." Sephiroth smirked as he put his hand on his sword, the Masamune. (Also know as "That freaking ten foot long sword," by Sora.) If it was needed to destroy the last seal, then it must have been a powerfull seal.

Following Maleficent, Sephiroth soon found himslef in a room with three other people in it. First, there was a odd looking man. He stood about six foot two, and seemed to realy like the color green. He was dressed in all green close, a pair of black boots, and sittling on his head, covering his face from view, was a cow's skull. This was the Horned King.

Next was a woman wearing a a flowing white dress. She had light blond hair, and very clear blue eyes. She was holding a wand that was made out of pure ice in her handsm much like the way Maleficent dose. The air around her seemed to be colder the it should. This was Jaids, the White Whitch.

Finally there was a woman with jet black hair, and almost glowing yellow eyes. She was wearing a dark blue(?) dress. She was also wearing an odd hat type thing. It had two bun shaped objects on it, one on each side. It had three spikes going down the left side of it, and an odd fin like object on the right. This was Edea, the sorceress.

Sephiroth wasted no time with small talk, and simply went to were he was needed. In the bak of the room, there was a large wall. On the wall there was several murals. First there was a mighty dragon, flames coming out of its mouth. Next there was a lion, standing there, head held high. Then there was a wolf, crouched low to the ground, looking like it was ready to strike at something. Then there was an eagle, wings spread out. And finally there was a shark, mouth open wide, reviling a rather sharp pair of teeth.

Sephiroth walked right up to the wall, and raised his sword. Sephiroth then plunged his sword into the wall, into the mural of the shark. There was a flash as dark energy flowed out of Sephiroth, threw his sword, and into the mural. Slowly, a dim glow started to appear on the shark's mural. Then the glow got brighter. Finally it spread to the other murals.

There was a bright flash of light, as the murals became glowing orbs of energy. Sephiroth smirked as he reached forwards to touch the orb that had been the shark. However, something odd happened the. The orbs, all five of them, shot higher into the air, away from the five dark users. Then, in a quick movement, all five of the shot out if the dimly light room they were in. Before they despaired from sight, Sephiroth could see that three of them, the dragon, eagle, and lion, stayed together, while the wolf and the shark went completely different ways.

"You see, the dark users have just unlocked the Element Armors!" Yen Sid shouted as he watched Sephiroth break the seal on the five animal murals. Yen Sid, along with everyone else in the council room, had watched it happen through a viewing portal. "We must work together, and create a new Keychain for Sora. If we don't, Sephiroth can easily break the seals that keep some of the most dangerous weapons out of the hands of humans. His Masamune can break seals that the Chasers made! If we don't do something, darkness will win this war!"

"And, what would another Keychain do for Sora? He already has some of the most powerfull ever created. Inluding the Ultimate Keychain, as well as the Keychain you made and gave him for his fight against the Nobody's." Came the voice of Velour. "No, another Keychain will not win this war.

"Then what will Velour? For the past two weeks you have told use that your plane will win this war, but so far all we've seen is the darkness grow stronger!" Yen Sid yelled back at Velour. "If we follow you plane, if we put our faith in the Twilight Keyblade Master, how do we know that this will end any different then all the other wars we have seen? How do we know that this boy Riku won't change sides? How do we know that he can beat Xehanort were other Keyblade Masters of twilight, and light, have failed?"

"He will win, because he won't let himself lose to Xehanort, or anyone else for that matter. He will win because he has too…"

Tidus quickly jumped back to avoid the blitzball that Wakka had sent flying at him. The two of them were in the middle of a sparing match. One thing Tidus missed about not having Sora or Riku around was that the only person left to spar with was Wakka. While Wakka was a good fighter, Tidus had seen every attack Wakka had. In that year and a half time frame were Sora and Riku had disappeared, Wakka was the only person to spar with.

And then when Sora and Riku finally came back to the island, they had to do extra homework to make up for the schoolwork they missed. But every now and then Sora would have some free time to have a good old sparing match. Riku on the other hand, despite having a lot of free time, hadn't had a sparing match with anyone since he got back to the island.

One thing Tidus had noticed was that in that year and a half time frame, Sora had gotten really REALLY good with a sword. So good that Tidus hadn't been able to land a single hit on him in any of their match's. And to top it off, Sora seemed to know all sorts of different fighting styles with his sword. But that had just forced Tidus to train harder. And in the past couple weeks, he had gotten the hang of a few new sword attacks he wanted to try out against Sora.

Tidus was brought back to reality when he noticed that Wakka had brought his arm back, getting ready to send his blitzball flying at Tidus. Tidus quickly resounded by jumping sideways, letting the ball fly past him. Tidus then rushed at Wakka, trying to win the match right there.

Wakka seemed to be expecting this, because when Tidus got close enough, Wakka went on the attack. Wakka sidestepped Tidus's swing, and then swept the younger boys legs out from under him. Once Tidus was on the ground, Wakka ran over near the water to retrieve his blitzball.

Tidus quickly rolled onto his feet, and went right after Wakka. However, by the time he caught up with Wakka, the older boy already had his blitzball again. Wakka then quickly spun around in a circle, blitzball in hand, trying to knock Tidus to the ground again. This time it was Tidus's turn to expect the attack.

When the attack was about to hit him, Tidus jumped into the air and twisted around so that he was almost horizontal in the air. Of course he arced his back as the blitzball went under it, so that it wouldn't hit him. Once the attack was past him, Tidus twisted around again, and swung his wooden sword at Wakka's chest.

The attack hit, and sent the older teen crashing to the ground. Wakka then held his hands up in a sign that he'd been beaten. "Tidus, you're getting better, man." Wakka said as he sat back up, painting after the battle.

"Thanks, I want to be able to beat Sora sometime soon." Tidus said as he offered a hand to Wakka. The older boy took it, and then stood up. Walking over to where they had left their backpacks, the each grabbed a bottle of water, and took a drink. Wakka then stood up.

"Well, I'm going to go back to the main island. See ya tomorrow, man."

"See ya Wakka!" Tidus shouted to his friend as he walked away. Tidus then got up and ran over to the water's edge to practice with his sword. However, since his back was turned, Tidus didn't see that a streak of blue light flew down behind the island. Tidus also didn't notice that a glowing blue orb of energy was moving through the water, towards him.

Tidus kept slashing tough the imaginary enemy, completely oblivious to the orb that was seemingly watching him. "Master." Tidus looked up when he heard a voice speak to him. Looking around he couldn't see anyone around, so he thought it was just a trick of his mind.

"Master, I have chosen you to wield my power." Tidus looked around again, looking for whoever was talking to him. "I am over here, in the water." The voice spoke up again, as if it could read his thoughts. Walking over to the water's edge, Tidus looked in and saw a glowing blue orb.

There was a flash of light, as the orb seemed to jump at Tidus, before hitting him.

It was a couple hours later before Tidus woke up. Looking around, he tried to figure out what just happened. "Let's see, I was training with my sword, heard a strange voice, and then black out." When the thought crossed his mind about his sword, he instantly reached over to pick it up. Only it wasn't his wooden sword he picked up. Instead he picks up a long sword that seemed to be made of water, yet it still held a solid shape. The most notable thing about it is, (besides being made of water,) is a long red cloth tied to the hilt of the sword.

Tidus then realized that his clothes were different to. He now had on a black t-shirt, and shorts. On his left arm, there was a long sleeve that came down to his hand. Black gloves covered both of his hands. On his left shoulder was a light blue shoulder guard that looked like a shark head. Over all, it looked pretty cool.

"Forgive me master, but I had to knock you out in order to rearrange the structure of your clothes, and weapon, so you could wield my power." Tidus heard the voice again, only this time it was coming from his shoulder guard. Tidus wasn't sure why, but he wasn't bothered by thee fact a voice was talking to him trough his clothes.

"I'm sure you have a lot of questions, I know I have a few myself. I will try and explain everything I can. But first I must ask, what is your name?" Tidus didn't think twice before answering, "My name is Tidus." "Hello master Tidus, I am Warshark, the water element of the Element Armors."

End chapter

And here is the net chapter. And before you say anything, there's a reason that there was no Riku or Cloud in this chapter. I used this chapter to give the base for people other then Sora, Riku, or Cloud to get kick ass ability. I also used this chapter to try and help improve my fight scenes.

The Element Armors are my original creation, just to let you all know. And I picked Tidus to have one of the five because I've seen very few stories were Tidus is a part of it. And even fewer where he dose something impotent. And he gets the water one because, well, he had the really cool looking water sword in Final Fantasy X, so it just seemed to fit him.
