My Life in Spira
Seriously, I'm asking for reviews. I mean, I know you guys read this, so why don't you review. You guys have the time.
Ep. 4 New Companions
My eyes open really fast, staring at blue liquid. Water. I'm floating in water.
"Gahhh!" I screamed, raising my head from the dead rising known as water. But I was floating. That's pretty cool.
I looked around for Tidus, then saw him floating too on water. I shake him, telling him to wake up.
As he groans, I look at our surroundings. I knew it, we ended up in Besaid Island. And there was Wakka and his team of Besaid Aurochs, practicing blitzball. One of them slip and kicks the ball at our direction. Tidus woke up and got hit by the ball!
He caught the ball, then grinned, "Blitzball!"
"Hey! You okay?!" Wakka calls to us. Because of the water, I had to squint to see them.
"Hey!" Tidus waves, then dives to water. Here comes Show-Off Tidus. He throws the ball upward, than raises his head to catch the ball lightly. Then, he lets the ball go up gently, and kicks it when he flips! The ball flies at them, Wakka trying to catch it, but misses. The ball flies away.
I looked at Tidus. No wonder he's such a star player in Blitzball. And no wonder he was able to get Yuna to fall for him.
Tidus looks at me, telling me to come. I nod, but I walk to the land. The water wasn't so deep.
When we got to land, Wakka was talking to 2 guys. The Crusaders I think. Wonder which of those 2 will die. I shiver at that thought.
Then, after he was done talking, they left. Wakka walked to us. Dang, y'know, how does he keep his hair like that. I can't even keep my hair spiked up. And he goes in water too! Maybe a water proof gel?
"Yo! Hiya." He says shyly. That kinda creeps me out, but this is how he acts in the game, so I say nothing.
"You wanna... try that move... one more time?" Wakka asked. Tidus started to grin again. I knew he was happy, going into that, finally things are starting to look up kinda look.
He takes the ball and throws it up to the air. We all step back as the ball lands to his face, lightly letting it go up, then kicks it all the way to the ocean!
"You no amateur. Who you play for?" Wakka asked. Uh-oh. This is where Tidus messes up.
"The Zanarkand Abes!" He says smiling. Yup, Tidus can really screw up worse than I can. He is stronger than me too.
"Hehehe. He was kidding. He go to close to Sin's... uh... poison?" I did that on purpose, not forgetting myself.
"Sin's toxin got to you both. But you're still alive. Praise be to Yevon." He says, while doing some pray gesture. Oh yeah, Yevon. He's some guy we have to fight at the end. Good thing we can't die in that battle.
"All right! Back to practice!" Wakka yells to his team. The 3 of us walk away. "I'm Wakka, coach and captain of the Besaid Aurochs, brudda." He smiles at us. I try my best to smile back, not trying to look at his hair. Then, again, I've seen worse. Seymour...
"This guy is Tidus and I'm Joshua." I say, stll trying to smile and not laugh.
Then, Tidus stomach started to growl. Mine too.
"What? You hungry? Okay, back to the village. I'll get you something." Wakka tells us as he starts to walk. We follow him.
Tidus was having a hard time trying to decide to ask Wakka something. Getting annoyed, I ask, "It's true that Zanarkand was destroyed a thousand years ago right?"
Tidus looks at me with an odd look. I smile at him.
He turns around with a confused look. Then, he remembered the toxin. "Long time ago, there were a whole lot of cities in Spira. Big cities with machina, machines, to run em. People played all day and let the machina do all the work. And then, well, take a look." He pointed to the ruins before. It's not the same without that song. I also remembered that there was numbers there for something in FFX-2.
"Sin came, and destroyed the machina cities. And Zanarkand along with em. Yeah, that was about a thousand years ago, like you said. If you ask me, Sin's our punishment for letting things get out of hand. what gets me though, is that we gotta suffer, all because of what some goofballs did way back when. Course, we must always repent for our sins! That's important! It's just that, it's hard to keep at it sometimes, you know?"
Tidus looks at him and me with a sad smile. Wakka then grabs him and gives him a noogie!
"But you from the Zanarkand Abes! That was a good one! Hey, I'm not trying to say the team never exist, ya? But you gotta figure a teamliving in luxury like that'd be pretty soft eh?"
Tidus finally gets free and continues on. I rememberd something bad will happened. Uh-oh, more water! Why couldn't I've been sent to a dry place like FF7?!
As Tidus and Wakka neared the area with water, Tidus looked around. "Hey, where's Joshua?"
"He said he couldn't swim, so he's gonna hike to the village. We should meet him soon anyway." Wakka answered and threw Tidus to the water!
I continue through the mountain, slashing through monsters, seeing my gauge fill. I also continue to gain sphere levels, feeling both faster and stronger. I also learned a new spell, thunder! Yay!
Then as I turned a corner, I saw a chocobo and a moogle heading this way.
"What the?" I looked at them, then realized they were aiming for me!
"Wahh!" I screamed, gripping my blade. "Wait a sec! Master! Warrior of lightning!" The moogle called to me.
Hold on, how does he know I have the element of lightning? They both slow down as the moogle hopped off of it.
"I'm Mu, the moogle, and this is Cho the chocobo. We've been assigned to guide you, being one of the 8 aeon guardians protecting Lady Yuna."
I blinked. Mu kept on speaking. "Recently, Lady Yuna has been doing her training to become a summoner. She's at the temple, getting her first aeon. Lulu, Kimahri, and Lady Rin is guarding her right now."
"Hold on, who's Rin?" I asked.
"She's the warrior of ice, holding the power of Shiva. And you carry the power of Ixion. We have yet to meet the other 5 guardians though."
I nod slowly. "Well, shall we get going. It's much faster on Cho to get to Besaid."
I got on Cho, my very own chocobo! Mu got on my back and we rode off to Besaid. I looked so gallent, it's like a knight in shining armor with his noble steed, except I wasn't a knight wearing armor and I was riding a chocobo. But, I still looked good! And it's fun to ride a chocobo!
Getting there, I saw the villagers of Besaid. Tidus was heading to the temple. Looks like he going there to save Yuna. How long did Mu talk to me anyway?
I hopped off of Cho and Mu followed me. "Wait master! We cannot disrupt Yuna. It's a rule!"
"Like I care!" I yell to Mu.
Inside of the temple, Tidus was running up the stairs. "Hey but what if something happens! What if the summoner dies?!" He yells.
"The precepts must be obeyed!" One of the priests yell.
"Like I care!" Tidus yells the same thing and enters the room.
"After him!" I yelled to Wakka. He nodded and both of us follow him.
As we entered, I didn't realize that Tidus was so good at puzzles. He was already done with the first part of the Cloister of Trials.
"Wow, he's fast." I smiled. "If you have time to admire, than do it while we find him!" Wakka yelled, continuing.
As we finally caught up to Tidus, he was finally at the elevator part. "We have you now!" Mu called to him.
Tidus turned around and saw him. "Who are you?"
"Tidus, what have you done?" I look away in shame. "Hey, you were gonna follow him too!" Mu pointed at me.
We walked to him at the elevator. "Hey, it's okay. Only summoners, apprentice summoners, and their guardians can enter here. It's a tradition. Very important."
"So what about you?" "Me, I'm a guardian." "A guardian?"
"Look, we are almost there!" Mu says.
As we start to land, Wakka explains all about the system. "Summoners go on a pilgrimage to pray at every temple in Spira. Guardians protect them. The guardians in there now. One of em's got a short fuse and who knows what the other is thinking. We also have a new recruit who has a similar fuse."
I gulped. If that's the case, Rin might look like Lulu. I have to work with someone like that?
As we got to the end, Wakka said, "Well, now that we've gone this far... might as wll go all the way."
We entered the room, to see 4 people standing there. 2 of them was Lulu and Kimahri. Another was a girl that had black long hair and pale blue eyes. She had pale skin as well, with a black jacket and a white skirt, with black boots. She had a frozen spear on her back. I could tell this was Rin, her name meaning cold. Next to her was her guide, a lilty.
"Hi Li." Mu called to her guide cheerfully, jumping to her. However, she slapped him away angrily.
I smiled at Rin. She didn't smile back. Wow, she really has a cold personality.
Wakka and Tidus were talking to the angry Lulu. And I was trying to get to know Rin, but to no avail. She's very pretty, and that's mostly the reason too.
"I'm Joshua." I said, but she looked away.
"Um... I have the power of lightning, and you have the power of ice?" I asked. She nods, but still looks away.
Then, I grabbed and hugged her real tight. "What are you doing Joshua?!" Tidus yelled.
I blushed, letting her go. Her face showed a really evil face as she took her spear in her hand.
Just as I was about to die a frozen death, the door to the fayth opened up. Everyone looked at Yuna, who was exiting. She looked very tired, sweat from her forehead dripped. I smiled at Tidus, his mouth open wide. I also looked at Rin, who was enchanted too.
Yuna's legs started to wiggle, then she fell off the stairs! Kinahri grabbed her before she almost hit the ground. She tried to get up, and fixes her hair.
"I've done it! I've become a summoner."
We exited the temple as everyone gathered to see Yuna. I smiled at Rin, at least she looked. But she was angry. And I can guess why.
"Hey over here!" Tidus ran to Wakka as he grabs him.
"Hey! Lemme go!" As he finally gets out of Wakka's grasp, he says, "Wait till you see this!"
I smiled. I actually get to see a real summon. I keep on staring at Rin, and she looks back angrily. She's just too pretty!
Yuna starts to get to formation. She holds out her staff as a circle appears under her. 4 beams of energy appear from the ground and flies to the sky, shining. Then, Valefor appears swooping from the sky and lands to the ground. Yuna slowly walks to it and pets it. Everyone cheers.
I look at Cho and pet him the same way. Rin looks at me doing that and says, "You have 2 guides?"
I look at her and nod. "Mmm." For some strange reason, I could see a light blush appear at her cheeks, but she looks away.
Valefor flies away after awhile. Rin, Li, Mu, and I walk to them. I tell Wakka, "'I'm gonna go around the island for awhile and get back at night, okay?"
He nods, and I walk to that area where Wakka prays. Rin followed me and looks as I pet Cho.
"You wanna pet him too?" I ask as kind as I could. She nodded, blushing a bit, and pets him. I smiled.
Looks like Rin has a soft spot after all...
Okay, this begins the OCxOC thing. You better review or I'll kill you!
