Luca Bound, Jecht Shot Remastered.

[We return to find that the crew, has boarded the boat for Luca; Night-time has come and the boat has departed Kilika and everyone has parted ways during the trip to Luca. Lulu and Wakka go up top to talk, and Yuna once again becomes the center of attention. Even some Goers walk over to her. Link goes topside and stumbles upon Wakka and Lulu's conversation, so he eavesdrops.]

Lulu: Well? Say something. You'll take responsibility?

Wakka: Relax! He's bound to know someone in Luca.

Lulu: And if not?

Wakka: He could always join a blitz team. Anyhow, it's better than just leaving him in Besaid!

Lulu: What? Just leaving him in Luca?

Wakka: What do you want me to do?

Lulu: Yuna wants to make him a guardian.

Wakka: Oh yeah, geez... There's that too, eh?

Lulu: And whose fault is that?

Wakka: Not mine! [Lulu stares at him.] It is my fault, huh?

Link: ... (sighs)... guess my sudden appearance has caused some waves. Not like I asked to be here though...

[link walks back down the steps and onto the deck and finds a blitzball.)

Link: What the hell, man... Wakka wants me on the team to play a game. I'm a fighter not a ball player. I've mever understood why da... Jecht used a ball everytime he made me train... although, his fighting style was alot like Wakka's at times...

(In Links memory, he thinks back to when he was first learning to use a sword and shield.]

Jecht: Well, well, trying to follow in my footsteps, are you? I usually charge for lessongs, you know... That shot is done... like this!

[Jecht jumps into the air with the ball.]

You can't do it, kid. But don't worry, my boy. You're not the only one. No one else can do it. I'm the best!

Link: Time to make that skill mine!

(Link picks up the ball and balances it on his shield. He bounces the ball off his shield 3 times, each time higher than the last. On the third and highest bounce as the ball makes it way back down, Link uses his back slash and rolls behind the ball and jumps, kicking the ball, making it fly off into the distance,)

Link: Heh... You're not the best anymore... are you old man.

[The Aurochs and Yuna walk over.]

Wakka: Whoa! What's that called?

Link: There's no name for it. Anyone can do it if they try.

Wakka: Show us one more time, ya?

(Link shows the Aurochs the skill once more, and then walks over to Yuna)

Yuna: That was the Jecht Shot, wasn't it?

Link: How'd you know?

Yuna: Sir Jecht showed it to me when I was a child. He called it the 'Sublimely Magnificent Jecht Shot Mark III.'

Link: Dumbest name ever, right? There is no Mark I or Mark II, you know? My old man said the name Mark III was just something to hook the crowd. He said they'd come back every night expecting to see Mark I and Mark II. And, they really did come back. Used to piss me off... Do you really think he is alive?

Yuna: I don't know. But, Sir Jecht was my father's guardian.

Link: Great... so he's famous here too...

Yuna: Yes. So if anything happened to him, I should think word would get around fast.

Link: Uh-huh.

Yuna: What would you do, if you found him?

Link: Don't really know... I'd probably knock the crap out of him... After everything he put Zelda and me through. And because he was famous, and I was always... Well, you should know, Yuna. Your father's famous, too. Everyone in Spira knows him, right? Ain't it tough?

Yuna: It is hard to follow in his footsteps, as a summoner.

Link: Sure it is...

Yuna: But the honor of having a father like that surpasses all that, I think.

Link: Honor... not much about my 'father' to honor, that's for sure.

Yuna: You shouldn't say that about your father!

Link: ... I think i have the right.

Yuna: I guess you do.

Link:(sighs) sorry... it's just...

[Link gets smacked with a blitzball.]

Wakka: Show me that move again!

Link: (Narration) I didn't think my old man would come to Luca. He never did like watching other people play. But I couldn't help feeling something bad was gonna happen, I've learned to trust my gut... Sure, I had told Wakka I'd help him win the tournament. But I wasn't sure I had it in me to play at all.

[The next day, the Wino pulls into Luca's port. I hate to say it, but it was a short one today. Hopefully something good will happen for the Aurochs in the next Chapter, so stay tuned! Next Chapter: Welcome to Luca, Kidnapping 101]
