My Life in Spira
Okay, this fic might end up shortened, but still keep on reviewing.
Ep. 5 Night and a the True Beginning
It's almost night and Rin and I are still relaxing close to the prayer area, Rin spending time getting to know the animals. Then, I hear the footsteps of someone.
I turned to see Tidus clapping. "Wow. I didn't know you were such a hooker."
Blushing, I wave my hand in embarrasment. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever. I could say the same thing about you and Yuna."
He looked confused. "Who's Yuna?"
I blinked. Oh yeah! He doesn't know who Yuna is yet.
"The summoner." I said bluntly. He turned and said, "Whatever. Hey, the night activity or whatever is about to start so hurry up."
I nodded then turned to Rin. "C'mon. Let's go."
She nodded, so we stood up and headed back to the village.
It looks like the one from the game with the big fire and the people and the Aurochs in front of the fire. I smiled, and turned to Rin. She, however, doesn't smile and walks to Kimahri. Well, so much for getting to know her better.
So, I walk to Yuna, who was walking out of the temple. I smile and say, "Hi."
She smiles back. "Hello. Didn't I see you back in the temple?"
I nodded. "Yup."
"Well then, I'm Yuna." "I'm Joshua."
We walk to the area with the 3 people as Tidus walk to her. I smiled and nudged Yuna.
"You like him, don't you?" She started to blush. "What? Oh no, we've just met!"
I laughed and walked away. I smiled at Tidus as he walked to her.
"You heathen!" "Stay away from the summoner!" "You're a bad man!"
Oh yeah, those guys. The old folk. And the little kid.
I see Yuna walk to Tidus and talk to him.
It's cute, kind of. Mu and Cho walk to me and Mu says, "I have something to tell you."
We walk to the area where you can find those treasure chests, but it's kinda hidden. You have to find it through the map, at least that's the easy way.
"Okay, so you do know the reason why you were sent here with the power of Ixion, right?"
I nodded. "To protect Lady Yuna right?"
Mu frowned, but nodded. "Yes, but there is another reason. Eight people were chosen with the powers of aeons, plus an unlucky one. Do you want me to tell you the whole story? Or should I do it tomorrow?"
"Maybe you should tell me tomorrow, when we get on the boat."
The moogle nodded. "Very well then. But, do you want me to tell you the specific features of your new powers?"
"It has special powers?! Tell me! Tell me! Tell me you moogle midget!"
I kind of overreacted there, but Mu didn't seemed very fazed.
"Okay. If you already know, you have the ability to control lightning. But, there's also the property of your blade. It has the ability to transform into something stronger if your perfectly sync with your aeon partner."
"So, um, what you are saying is if I have 100 syncronization with Ixion, my weapon will transform."
"Yes. Your battlesuit my transform as well. At least, if that goes with your new transformation."
Getting excited, I said, "Now I can't wait for the battles ahead! I want to see my new transformation!"
Mu and Cho smiled. Then, Mu's face grew grim. "But, beware! Some of the enemies you'll encounter aren't of this world! They also come from your imagination and fear."
I nodded without much care. I just wanted to see my new transformation.
Walking out of the spot, I saw Tidus talking with Wakka.
"She's cute, ya?" He said, smiling at Tidus.
"Yeah." I started to grin as well. I have to say, Tidus is different than other heroes of Final Fantasy. He's the kind of guy who could get girls easily. Now, if only I could get that kind of charm for Rin...
"Don't get no ideas."
"No promises there, big guy. Hey, but what if she, like, comes on to me?"
"That's not gonna happen."
Speaking of Rin, I looked at her. She was at Yuna's side, talking quietly with Kimahri. Li slept at her side
That got me thinking. Maybe Rin hangs out with Kmahri because of their similar attitudes? The fact they both use lances? Oh man, I hope Rin doesn't get any ideas!
I yawned a bit. Wow... I'm tired... but I wanna stay a little more...
Of course, I did have to get some sleep. I am kinda tired. Kind of...
Wakka looked at me and smiled. "You tired?"
I nodded. My eyes were getting drowsy. I couldn't keep them up much longer.
"Hey, I've got a bed ready for you in the hut over there." He pointed the the... crusader's lodge I think. Bleh, I didn't care. I just wanted to go to sleep. What do you expect of a 12 years old? Speaking of which, I have to ask how old Rin is.
I dragged myself to the hut, looking at Rin one more time. I got to my bed and really fast, drifted to sleep.
I'm in a graveyard full of bones. No gravestones or anything like that, but just bones. Aeon looking bones.
In the middle was an aeon. An odd looking one... with black wings and a slim body, kind of like bones.
It looks familiar too, like I've seen it in Final Fantasy before. Maybe I forgot what it's called.
The aeon spreads it's wings, and flies...
"I hate you!"
"Gahh!" I screamed. Getting up like I just heard an alarm clock or something. I turned to see Tidus panting and up. Looks like had that dream with his dad. He's not the only one with problems...
We heard some voices outside. Both of us crept from our beds to the door, or whatever it is. A rag! Yeah, that's it! Outside was Lulu and Wakka talking.
"He dos look a lot like Chappu. I was suprised too, the first time I saw him. But no matter what he looks like, he isn't Chappu." She say, pausing for a second. Then, her tone kinda gets harsher, as she says, "You shouldn't have brought the both of them here in the first place."
I'm sorry you Lulu fans, but now I really don't like her. I want to punch her really hard now. Yeah, they let Rin in but not me!
"Yeah, but they needed our help!" That's right Wakka! Show her what your made of!
"Excuses again?"
"Yeah, but..." No Wakka, don't lose!
"That's it! No more! Enough, Wakka!" She yells, then leaves him. I can't believe she becomes Wakka's wife and they have a kid, who's name is some word in Al Bhed.
He sighs, then walks in the tent. As soon as he does, I jump up and scare him!
"Whoa!" He cries, getting back.
I smiled, and went back to my bed and watched them talk.
"So, who's Chappu?" Tidus asks.
"My little brother, Chappu. He looked like you." No he doesn't. He doesn't look a thing like Chappu!
"He's dead?"
Wakka stopped there, frozen for a bit. Then he said, "He was with the crusaders when they fought Sin last year. He didn't make it. I heard the fist day of the tournament."
Now, I don't know what it's like to lose a loved one, but I felt sorry for Wakka. It fells different when you hear it from the inside than the out, y'know?
"I became a guardian to fight Sin, ya?"
"Revenge, then?"
"That was the idea. But now, I'm more worried about some game than avenging my brother. Well, after the tournament, I'll be a guardian full time."
I blinked. Oh yeah! The tournament! Wait a minute! Oh no! I can't swim!
"I know it looks like I'm using you, but I'm not."
Tidus starts to smile. "Don't worry. I mean, I owe you a lot! He does too!" Tidus pointed to me, and I smile.
"You really helped us out, you know. What I mean is, thanks Wakka."
That could be kind of embarrasing to say, but we do owe him a lot!
"Stop, you're embarrasing me!" Whoa, I was right.
I yawned again. I'm still sleepy. Well, I did do all of those terrible stuff today. I experienced blitzball, hiked up a mountain, met a bunch of people, experienced summoning, talked to a moogle, watched a party, and now this. What a long day.
Putting the sheets over my body, I fell asleep.
I slowly awoke as I heard the birds chirpping outside. I yawned and got up, putting my shoes and jacket on. I took my katana and walked outside.
Wakka and Lulu were talking, and I could see he had a sword behind his back. Probably the one he'll give Tidus.
Rin was close to the temple, looking out to the horizon, the sun slowly coming up. I smiled, walking to her.
"Good morning." I said politely. She looked at me and nodded. I stood next to her, trying to think of something to say. Mu and Cho were over at the temple, Mu trying his best to talk to Li. It's funny to see and moogle try to flirt with a lilty. I guess I'm not doing much progress with Rin though.
Then, Tidus walked out of the tent. Since I like swords and all, I walked to him to see him get the sword.
"Hey sleepyhead!" Something I want to give you." He handed him a sword of pure water, how could it stay like that. Well, it's a cool sword, and I hope the tansformation of my blade will look something like that.
"Whoa! You're giving this to me?" Tidus asked. It looked like he was having an easier time lifting the blade. It was made of water after all.
"That's the sword you gave Chappu." Lulu spoke.
"Well, he never used it." He said. "Where's Yuna?"
Hmm, I'd rather talk to Rin than listen to this.
Dammit, but I don't have the courage or backbone to go away.
"We're taking the same boat as Yuna right? Why do we gotta wait here?" What a dumb question.
"Yuna came to this village ten years ago, when the last calm started." Wakka said. I already know this, why am I listening!
"The calm?" He asked. Wakka ignored it, maybe he didn't here the question.
"Since then, she's been like a little sister to me and Lulu. But she had the talent, she became an apprentice. And now, she leaves as a summoner."
"This is our journey. We should leave together." Lulu said. The answer was kind of odd. Of course they had to wait for Yuna! She's the summoner! She's the woman who will save Spira from Sin! Of course!
Then, Yuna exited the temple, carrying some luggage. Rin turned, and I walked up to Yuna saying, "Good morning."
"Good morning." She says smiling. Then her face turns into a worked up kind of look as she lugs the huge box. I walked to Rin.
"Looks like we're finally going." I said.
"Of course I know. I'm not an idiot." She said. I'm awestricken. I shouldn't have said that, should I?
"You really don't need all that luggage!" Lulu called to her.
"They're really not my things. Their gifts for the temples we're to visit." Yuna says.
"This isn't a vacation Yuna." Wakka says.
"I guess you're right." Yuna said sadly, releases her grip on the luggage then walks to the trio. I wonder whatever happens to that bag.
"Okay, off we go!" Wakka yells, and we all start heading for the exit.
We are already heading to the harbor whee the boat lies, then a dog or whatever attacks us.
"Here comes one now!" Wakka says, then turns to Tidus. "Hey, why don't ya try out that sword I gave you?"
Tidus nods, then runs to the fiend. Before it knows it, it's hacked away by his blade. "No problem!"
"Not too shabby! You kept up with him pretty well! Might make a good guardian someday." Wakka exclaims. Then some bird appears. "A flyer! My kind of customer!" Wakka then takes out a blitzball, and throws it at the monster! It disappears into pyreflies.
After collecting the spheres, we keep on going.
Then, we encounter another monster. Forgot what it's called. Blob, gel, liquid? Whatever it was, it's blue.
"That... looks like trouble." Wakka said.
"Heh! Watch this!" Tidus yells, then leaps at it and slashes it. However, the fiend is uninjured.
"Told you! Only magic can defeat that thing!" Wakka explains. "If you can't beat em down, you gotta use magic of an element they don't like!"
My ears perked up. The thing is blue, so it should be weak to lightning...
"Magic? Element?" Tidus asks confused. It shoud be obvious what ellement it hates, but then again, Tidus is really confused. Spoiled jock.
"Let's have our black mage show you what I mean. Lu! You're up!" He says, and Lulu steps up to the battle.
"Clueless, aren't you? Good thing I'm here." Nu-uh. I'm pretty strong too!
"Spells of ice work well against fire fiends... and ice fiends are weak against fire magic. You follow?"
"I get fire and ice, but what about lightning and water?" IDIOT!
"Lightning and water are opposed, just like fire and ice. This one here is a water fiend, whih means..."
Lulu starts to cast the spell lightning, but as soon as she's about to cast, I throw my lightning spell at it and destroy it easily. She glares at me, and I shrug.
So, we continue and make it to that prayer place. We stare at the village, as I walk to Rin.
"I looked pretty good out there, huh?" She justs turn away, leaving me heartbroken.
"Take your time." Lulu tells Yuna as she looks at the village of Besaid. It souldn't really be the final time, because she'll live in the end, but I dunno. Maybe, it's something about kids being sent to this world that'll make it different.
"Let's get going, man!" Tidus yells. I snap a quick angry look at him.
"We're gonna wait." Wakka says. Y'know, I really don't like the name. I remember on the internet when I found out Wakka's name is actually Ainu for water. And for people who don't know, Ainu is a race or whatever in Japan or whatever.
Tidus shrugs.
Yuna then walks away, and Wakka looks at her. "Are you ready?" She nods.
Everyone then walks away as Tidus looks on. "What's going on?"
As we continue under the roof of some ruins, I feel as if we forgot something.
Suddenly, a huge rumble occurs above us, causing everyone to stop. A bue beast jumps from the roof to the bottom, growls a little, then roars!
"It's Kimahri!" I yelled, Tidus hopping into action. He draws his sword as I draw my katana.
He rushes at us with his spear. Well, he starts attacking me anyway. Darn it! Why is he attacking me! I wonder as I quickly duck a blow, but that left me in a vunerable position. He was about to stab me downwards, with me almost screaming for my life, whe Tidus tackles him away. He clashes his blade with Kimahri's as the 2 keep on doing battle. Getting back up, I unleash a thunder spell. It's able to hit Kimahri, but he seems unfazed.
Kimahri jumps back, and stabs the ground with his spear, jumping up. "Oh boy!" I screamed as he came back down at full force. Both Tidus and I held our blades up to protect ourselves, but the damage was increasingly high! He landed on the ground and the impact really shook us, but I was the only one to fall down and scream. Geez, I am a coward.
"That's enough!" Wakka orders.
Kimahri stops, looks at Tidus without a word, then looks at me and shakes his head with disapproval. Dammit, I really am a coward, and I feel really bad. And, Rin is probably ashamed of me too...
Kimahri walks away as Wakka turns.
"What's with that guy?" Tidus asks. For once in my life, I agree.
"Kimahri Ronso, of the Ronso Tribe. He's learned the fiends' way of fighting." Lulu explains. I'd laugh, but right now, I don't feel like it.
"That's not what I meant!" Tidus says.
"He's another of Yuna's guardians." Wakka really explains.
Yuna laughs. "Sometimes we don't understand him either. Kimahri doesn't talk much anyway." Wakka nods as Yuna continues. "But he has protected me since I was a child."
Now, Tidus seems to agree.
I look over at Rin. She still looks heartless, but now I'm really afraid to talk to her now.
Okay, we keep on going. Then, we encounter a giant bird!
"Oh geez!" I yell, drawing my katana. For some reason, Rin looks at me and smirks. "You can't win this battle." She says. I flash an angry look at her.
"A flyer... that's your department right?" Tidus asks Wakka.
"True, true. But, uh..." It seems he's scared also.
"Why don't we let our summoner show us what she's made of!"
Yuna steps up with her staff in hand. "Your first real battle! Let's see some style!"
"Show us what your training has taught you, Yuna." Lulu says.
"Okay." She says.
Yuna does those odd movements, and then finally Valefor flies down to the ground and lands. Yuna pets it, and it goes out to battle.
Valefor is actually strong! This is amazing, because in only one Sonic Wing, it destroys the bird!
I stare in awe. Rin walks up to me and says, "I'd rather talk to that, than look at you." Okay, now I'm angry.
I swing a punch at her as hard as I can, but she blocks and slams me on the ground with an evil look in her eye.
"Hey, hey, hey! No fighting!" Wakka yells, seperating me from Rin. She looks away and continues walking, and now the whole group is silent.
Then, we encounter another giant bird.
"Another one of those? No problem! Leave this one to me, ya? Say goodnight birdie!" Wakka yells as his ball starts to glow black.
"Dark Attack!"
He throws it as hard as he can, infecting the bird with darkness status. Now blind, Tidus and I swing at it with our swords, Lulu casts a Fire spell, and Rin finishes it off with her spear.
"Yeah!" I yell. Rin pokes me wth her spear.
"Stop bragging and let's go." She says as I rub my head.
"I thought you weren't gonna talk to me." I smile, punching her playfully (not) on her arm.
She looks at me with rage, but Wakka comes up and says, "If you guys will fight, then give me your weapons."
We hand our weapons to him and sigh.
Finally making it to the harbor, relax and stretch, staying away from Rin.
We walk to the ship and as we get on, Yuna waves to everyone. Kind of sad really.
A little boy runs to the dock and waves while crying, which makes me really sad. Yuna waves back.
"Goodbye."
Okay, now this is really the longest chapter I've written. Okay, there will be a lot of problems with most of the OCs, but we focus more on Rin and me but who cares anyway. Please review!
