Tidus gets up, puts his hand on the summoner, and walks to the hill. Tidus: (narrating) Listen to my story. This may be our last chance. The Final Fantasy X words appear. The screen switches to Zanarkand and the fans are everywhere. The camera views a mysterious character in a hood. The camera shows Tidus who gets off the boat. The fans are excited about him. Tidus talks to the female fans. Fan 1: Can I have your autograph? Tidus: Of course! Tidus signs the autograph on the fan's Blitzball. Fan 2: Good luck tonight! Tidus: Nothing to worry about! Tidus signs the other fan's Blitzball. Tidus: Oh, if I score a goal... I'll do this! Tidus holds up three fingers on each hand. Tidus: That will mean it was for you, okay? The fans laugh. Tidus: What seat? Fans: East block, in the front row! Fifth from the right! Tidus: Got it! Tidus talks to the kids who are Blitzball fans. Kid 1: Can you sign this? Tidus: No prob! Tidus signs the Blitzball. Kid 2: (holding up the Blitzball) Please? Tidus: Alrighty. Tidus signs the Blitzball. Kid 3: Me, too! Tidus: Take it easy. Before Tidus moves on... Tidus: Well, gotta go! Cheer for me! Kid 1: ...two, three! Kids 1, 2, and 3: Teach us how to blitz! Tidus: Hey, I got a game to play! Kid 2: Then teach us after! Tidus: Maybe tonight...um...well... Hooded Character: You can't tonight. Tidus: I mean...tomorrow. Kid 3: Promise? Tidus: Promise! The kids are okay with that. Tidus is on his way to play Blitzball and he saw a man who is actually his father on the screen in the building. Tidus goes "hmm" and moves on. We now hear the man's voice. Man's Voice: I was in the coffee shop, running away from home when I heard the news. Our hero, Jecht, gone. Vanished into thin air! My dad must have been his biggest fan. I knew how sad he'd be. Heck, we all were that day. "Zanar", I say to myself, "What are you thinking?" I went running straight back home. We sat up talking 'bout Jecht all night. My dad and I never talked so much. Whoa... Didn't mean to reminisce, folks. Anyway... Ten years later, the Jecht Memorial Cup tournament is today! The two teams that have won through to the finals are...of course, the Abes from A-East, and the Duggles from C-South. I know there's a lot of people out there today to see the star of the Abes! In just one year, he's become the team's number one player! He's Jecht's blood, and the new hope of blitzball! What kind of super play will he show us today? Will we see father's legendary shot? I don't think I'm the only one excited here, folks! Tidus is surrounded by excited fans. Tidus: Make way, make way! Coming through, sorry! Hey, I'm gonna be late! Hey, let go of me! We watch a movie of Tidus in the Blitzball arena and he woke up. The dome opened and the Blitzball tournament begins. We also see Auron and then the water rises up and starts tearing up Zanarkand. Just when Tidus was about to kick the Blitzball he saw that the ball of water starts shooting beams. Tidus grabs the ledge, but suddenly fell to the ground. During the destruction, Tidus gets up and saw Auron. Tidus: Auron! What are you doing here? Auron: I was waiting for you. Tidus: What are you talking about? Tidus follows Auron, but couldn't find him. The screen then freezes and the mysterious hooded character appeared. Hooded Character: It begins. Don't cry. The hooded character disappears. Then the screen unfreezes. Tidus: What the...? Tidus finally saw Auron. Tidus: Hey! Wait! Hey, not this way! Auron: Look! We watch a movie of Tidus seeing a ball of water. Auron: We called it "Sin." Tidus: "Sin?" The Sinspawn Ammes appears from one building and spreads out Sinscales. Tidus tries to dodge the Sinscales, but he jumped back. Auron: Take it. Auron gave Tidus a sword. Auron: A gift from Jecht. Tidus: My old man? Auron: I hope you know how to use it. Tidus and Auron moves on. In the next area… Auron: These ones don't matter. We cut through! After Tidus and Auron cuts through the first sets of enemies... Auron: Don't bother going after all of them. Cut the ones that matter, and run! After cutting through the front, Tidus and Auron run. In the next area, Tidus and Auron fights Sinspawn Ammes. Tidus: Get out of my town! Auron: Some can't wait to die! After Tidus and Auron defeats Sinspawn Ammes, they move on. In the next area, Tidus looks at his father in screen again in the building... Tidus: What are you laughing at, old man? (to Auron) Auron! Let's get out of here! Auron: We're expected. Tidus: Huh? Auron moves on. Tidus: Gimme a break, man! More Sinscales appeared. Tidus and Auron fight them. The battle is endless. Auron: Hmph. This could be bad. (saw a Tanker) That-knock it down! Tidus: What? Auron: Trust me. You'll see. After Tidus and Auron defeat the Tanker, the Tanker falls into the water and the building with the screen of Tidus' father collapsed. Auron: Go! Tidus jumps and we watch a movie of Tidus grabbing the ledge of the broken road. Tidus: Auron! Auron! Sin is sucking the road with Auron and Tidus in. Auron: (to Sin) You are sure? Auron picks up Tidus by the shirt. Auron: This is it. This is your story. It all begins here. Auron and Tidus are sucked into Sin. Voice of Jecht: Hey! Hey! Tidus: My...old man? Tidus floats down and witnesses a young version of himself. Tidus: (narrating) I thought about a lot of things...like where I was, what I'd got myself into. I started to feel light-headed...and then, sleepy. I think I had a dream. A dream of being alone. I wanted someone-anyone, beside me...so I didn't have to feel alone anymore. Tidus then woke up in Al Bhed Territory. Tidus: Anybody there? Auron! Heeey! Tidus moves on. The rumble from the ground made the bridge collapse. Tidus falls into the water and encounters Sahagins. After defeating two Sahagins, the third Sahagin was suddenly eaten by Geosgaeno. Tidus encounters Geosgaeno. After Tidus defends, he escapes from Geosgaeno. Tidus: Whoa! Geosgaeno tries to suck in Tidus but Tidus successfully got into the area. Tidus: (narrating) I had made it out of the frying pan...and into the freezer. I thought I was going to die in this place. Tidus is in the room with no campfire. Tidus: Cold... Need...fire. Tidus searches the area for a Flint and Withered Bouquet. Then after that, Tidus went back to the main area and started the campfire. Tidus lay on the ground with nothing to do. Tidus: I need food! Tidus suddenly flashes back to the past. Tidus: What do you want? Auron: It was a bad call. Your team lost because of you. Tidus: You came to say THAT? Auron: It's been...ten years. I thought you'd be crying. Tidus: Who, me? Hooded Character: You cried. The flashback ended. Tidus, still sitting near the campfire, saw that the fire is going out. Tidus: Hey, wait! Wait! Don't go out on me! Just hold on. I'll get more wood! Suddenly, Klikk appeared. Tidus fights Klikk. During the fight, the sealed door blew up and the Al Bhed people appeared. A girl came and assisted Tidus in the fight against Klikk. Tidus: You on my side? Cool! After they teamed up to defeat Klikk, the girl took off her goggles. Tidus: Whew! That was close. One of the Al Bhed people grabbed Tidus by the hair. Tidus: Hey, lemme go! Al Bhed 1: Fryd ec drec? (What is this?) Al Bhed 2: Y fiend! Eh risyh teckieca! Oac! Ed ec cu! (A fiend! In human disguise! Yes! It is so!) Al Bhed 3: (holding a blade near Tidus' neck) Fa gemm ed? (We kill it?) Girl: Fyed? Fryd ev ed ec risyh? (Wait? What if it is human?) Al Bhed 3: Drao yna dra cysa eh taydr. (They are the same in death.) Girl: E vunpet ed! Fa pnehk ed fedr ic. (I forbid it! We bring it with us.) (looks close at Tidus) Cunno. (Sorry.) The girl punches Tidus in the guts. The Al Bheds take Tidus to the Al Bhed ship. In the Al Bhed ship... Al Bhed 2: (elbowing Tidus) Ced, lybdeja! (Sit, captive!) Tidus: Hey, that hurts! Al Bhed 4: Hu sujehk, rayn? (No moving, hear?) Tidus: Whoa... Okay. The door hatch opens and the girl and another Al Bhed came out. Brother: Caynlr res! (Search him!) Tidus: Right. Whatever. Brother: Tu oui hud cbayg? (Do you not speak?) The brother showed Tidus a goggle. Tidus: I said I don't understand! Al Bhed 2: Ehcumahla! (Insolence!) Girl: Fyed! (Wait!) (to Tidus) He said you can stay if you make yourself useful. Tidus: You...You understand me? One of the Al Bhed struck Tidus. Tidus: All right, I'll work! Tidus talks to the girl. Girl: Oh, almost forgot! The girl taught Tidus how to power up. After that, Tidus talks to the girl the second time. Girl: We found some ancient ruins right beneath us. It's not active now, but there should be some power left. We're gonna go down there and activate it...and then we should be able to salvage the big prize! Okay! Let's get to work! Tidus: Roger! Tidus and the girl dived into the water and swam down to the Underwater Ruins. They turned on the power in the ruins and then suddenly, they fight Tros. After defeating Tros, Tidus and the girl swam out of the ruins. Later on the Al Bhed ship... Al Bhed 1: Fa vuiht dra airship! (We found the airship!) Al Bhed 2: Dra naluntc fana nekrd. (The records were right.) Tidus got back on the ship. Al Bhed 1: Huf, ruf du tnyk ed ib? (Now, how to drag it up?) Tidus follows the Al Bheds in. Al Bhed 1: Oui, uidceta! (You, outside!) Tidus: Hey. I helped out, didn't I? The door hatch closes. Later, Tidus is elbow standing on the ship's deck. Tidus: Uhh...hungry. The girl kicked Tidus in the arm to get his attention and she brought food for him. Tidus: Whoa! Right on! Tidus ate the food real fast and he started to choke. The girl gave Tidus a canteen of water and Tidus immediately drank the water and he stopped choking and the food went into his body. Girl: It's 'cause you eat too fast! Tidus gets up and stretches. Girl: Hey! Tidus: Hello there. What is your name? Girl: Rikku. Tidus starts to shake both of Rikku's hands rapidly. Tidus: Whoa! You really do understand! Tidus starts to laugh. Tidus: Why didn't you say so earlier? Rikku: I didn't get a chance to! Everyone thought oui were a fiend. Tidus: Uh... "we"? Rikku: Oh, "oui" means "you." Tidus: Who are you guys, anyway? Rikku: We're Al Bhed. Can't you tell? Wait. You're not an Al Bhed-hater, are you? Tidus: I don't even know what an Al Bhed is. Rikku: Where are you from? Tidus: Zanarkand. I'm a blitzball player. Star player of the Zanarkand Abes! Rikku: Did you hit your head or something? Tidus: Um, you guys hit me. Rikku: Oh, right... Do you remember anything before that? Tidus: (narrating) So I told her everything there was to tell about Zanarkand... About life there, blitzball, and Sin's attack...and about how Auron and I were engulfed in this light. I just said things as they came to mind. But then I started to wonder. Later... Tidus: Did I say something funny? Rikku: You were near Sin. Tidus: Mmm-hmm. Rikku: Don't worry, you'll be better in no time. They say your head gets funny when Sin is near. Maybe you just had some kind of dream? Tidus: You mean I'm sick? Rikku: Because of Sin's toxin, yeah. Tidus: You sure? Rikku: Yeah, there is no Zanarkand anymore. Sin destroyed it a thousand years ago. So...no one plays blitzball there. Tidus: Huh? What you do mean a thousand years ago? But I saw Sin attack Zanarkand! You're saying that happened a thousand years ago? No way! Tidus talks to Rikku again. Rikku: You said... You play blitzball? Tidus: Uh-huh. Rikku: You know, you should go to Luca. Someone might know who you are, or you might find someone you recognize. Tidus: Luca? Rikku: Okay, leave it to me! I'll get you to Luca, promise! You'd rather stay here? Okay, I'll go tell the others. Wait here. Oh, and one thing. Don't tell anyone you're from Zanarkand, okay? Yevon says it's a holy place. You might upset someone. Tidus: (narrating) My Zanarkand, some kind of holy place? Yeah right, I thought. Since when? Yevon? Sin? Luca? I thought Sin just took me to afaraway place, that I could go back in a day or two. But a thousand years into the future? No way! Tidus got mad and kicks the cargo. Suddenly there was vibrations coming from the water. Two Al Bheds came out. Al Bhed 1: Sin! Al Bhed 2: Sin ec lusa! (Sin is come!) Al Bhed 3: Ihtan ic! Ihtan ic! (Under us! Under us!) Suddenly Tidus fell into the water and is swept away in the current by Sin. Later, Tidus woke up in the water near the beach. Tidus: Rikku! A Blitzball hits Tidus' head. Tidus: Blitzball! Tidus turned around and saw the people in the Isle of Besaid. Coach: Hey! You okay? Tidus: Heeey! Tidus did his shooting move of the Blitzball and we watch a movie of the Blitzball going in a fast speed. Coach: Whoa-ho! Tidus swims out of the water and talks to the coach. Tidus: Yo! Hiya! Coach: You wanna try that move one more time? Tidus tried it again. Tidus: (narrating) Finally, things were starting to look up. Coach: You're no amateur. Who you play for? Tidus: The Zanarkand Abes! The coach's teammate looks puzzled. Coach: What team you say again? Tidus: Uh, I meant... Forget that. I got too, uh...close to Sin and my head's all foggy-like. So I don't know where this place is. Or even where I came from. Coach: Sin's toxin got to you. But, you're still alive. Praise be to Yevon! (to his teammates) All right, back to practice! (to Tidus) I'm Wakka, coach and captain of the Besaid Aurochs, brudda. Tidus feels strange. Wakka: What? You hungry? Okay! Back to the village. I'll get you somethin'! Tidus follows Wakka. Tidus: (narrating) I felt like I could trust this Wakka, so I just had to ask. Tidus talks to Wakka. Tidus: It's true Zanarkand was destroyed, right? A thousand years ago? So it's just a big pile of rubble now, isn't it? Wakka: 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 the work. And then, well, take a look. Sin came, and destroyed the machina cities. And Zanarkand along with 'em. Yeah, that was about a thousand years ago, just like you said. If you asked me, Sin's our punishment for letting things get out of hand. What gets me, though...is we gotta suffer, 'cause 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: (to himself) It was just as Rikku said. Wakka and Rikku couldn't both be lying. Why would they? Wakka laughs and puts his arm on Tidus' shoulder. Wakka: But you from the Zanarkand Abes-that was a good one! Hey, I'm not saying the team never existed, ya? But you gotta figure a team livin' in luxury like that'd be pretty soft, eh? Tidus: (narrating) I appreciated the fact that Wakka was trying to cheer me up. But at that time, all I could think about was...everything that happened to me-all this-started with Sin. Maybe if I could find Sin one more time, I could go home! For now, I'd just live life until that time came. No more worrying about where, or when, I was. Sure it was hard not to think of home. But I started to feel better already. A little better...maybe. Tidus caught up with Wakka who is waiting near the shallow waters. Wakka: Hey! It's this way! Tidus: Huh? Wakka pushes Tidus into the water. Wakka jumps into the water. Tidus: What's the big idea? Tidus and Wakka swam near the exit of the water. Before they exit, Wakka grab Tidus by the neck. Tidus: Lemme go! Wakka: Got a favor to ask ya. Tidus: You want me on your team, right? Wakka lets Tidus go from his grabbing. Wakka: A major blitz tournament's coming up. All the teams in Spira'll be there! It's so huge, I'm sure someone there will recognize you! Then you can go back to your old team, right? It'll be fun! What do you say, huh? Come on, come on! Tidus: Sure thing. Wakka: Dude! Our team is gonna rock, eh? Tidus: (narrating) I thought then that blitzball and Sin were the only two things that Spira and Zanarkand had in common. I wasn't too far off, either. Tidus and Wakka got through the water and they are now in a path that is dry. Wakka: This is where I was born. I started blitz when I was five. I joined the Aurochs at thirteen...ten years ago. Ten years...and we never won a game. Well, after last year's tournament, I quit. Time seemed right. While they're walking... Wakka: So, after quitting, I got this new job, ya? But every time my mind wandered, I thought about the game. Tidus: Ten years without a single win'll do that. Wakka: My first match last year was my big chance. But something else was on my mind. I couldn't focus. Tidus: Nice excuse. Wakka: Hey, hey! Tidus: So you want to win the next tournament-go out with a bang. Wakka nodded "yes". Tidus: So, what's our goal? Wakka: I don't care what we do. Long as we play our best. If we give it our all, I can walk away happy. Tidus: No, no, no, no, no. If I say, "What's our goal?" you say, "Victory!" When you play in a blitzball tournament, you play to win! Wakka: Victory? You serious? Tidus and Wakka move on. They saw two Crusaders. Crusader 1: Ah, the one from the sea! Crusader 2: Be on guard. There're fiends on the road today! Crusader 1: After surviving your run-in with Sin, 'twould be a shame if something happened now. The two Crusaders left. Tidus: Who were they? Wakka: Luzzu and Gatta-Crusaders. Tidus: Crews of what? Wakka: What, you forgot that, too? Hey, sorry. Don't worry about it. I'll help you out. Tidus: Cool. In return, come tournament time, I'll make sure we take the cup! Wakka: Cool. About the Crusaders, you can ask them yourself. They've got a lodge in the village. Tidus and Wakka proceed to Besaid Village. In there... Wakka: Besaid Village. Tidus: They got any food there? Wakka: We'll get you something over there later. Take a look around first. Let's see... The Crusaders Lodge is over yonder. Luzzu and Gatta are usually there. Oh, right. Over here! Tidus: Huh? What's up? Wakka: You do remember the prayer, right? Tidus doesn't know any prayers. Tidus: (narrating) Of course I'd never prayed before in my life. Not that he would know that... Wakka: You...must have forgot or something. Here, I'll show you. Wakka showed Tidus the praying. Wakka: Go ahead, you try. Tidus did exactly what Wakka just did. Wakka: Hey, not bad. Okay, now go present yourself to the temple summoner. Tidus: (narrating) Any blitzball player would know that prayer. It was the blitzball sign for victory. Tidus proceeds to the lodge and talks to Luzzu and Gatta. Gatta: Hey, you! You were attacked by Sin...right? Recently was it? Tidus: I think so. Gatta: So, Sin can't be far, right? You're not hiding anything, are you? Tidus: Why would I? Luzzu: If Sin's nearby, it'll attack the island for sure. But it hasn't. I wonder why? Tidus: I'm sorry. I really don't know anything. To tell you the truth, I don't even know what the Crusaders are. Gatta: You're kidding, right? Luzzu: Sin! The toxin! Gatta, tell him who we are! Gatta: Yes, sir! The Crusaders are sworn to battle Sin! We have chapters throughout Spira, accepting all who wish to join our struggle! The hero Mi'ihen formed the Crusaders eight hundred years ago as the Crimson Blades. Later, our ranks grew and we called ourselves the Crusaders. We've been fighting Sin ever since! Tidus: What, you've been fighting eight hundred years and you still haven't beat it? Luzzu: Well, we've steered Sin away from towns many times! And that's all we can do. Nobody's ever been able to defeat it. Our mission as Crusaders is to protect the temples, towns, villages, and people of Spira. Tidus: So then whose job is it to defeat Sin? Gatta: Is Sin's toxin really this bad, sir? Luzzu: It does seem rather bad... We could just tell you, but I think it's better for you to try and remember. Go pray at the temple. Perhaps Yevon will help you regain your memory. Tidus proceeds to the temple. In there... Tidus: (narrating) It was then, standing in that place. I began to realize how different this world was from my own. Tidus saw a statue. Priest: Ten years have passed since Lord Braska became high summoner. And finally we receive a statue for our temple. Tidus: What's a high summoner? I...I got too close to Sin's, uh, toxin. (narrating) It was funny hearing myself make the same excuse over and over. Funny, and a little sad. Priest: The summoners are practitioners of a sacred art, sworn to protect the people of Yevon. Only a chosen few become summoners, who call forth entities of great power: the aeons. The aeons hear our prayers and come down to us. They are the blessing of Yevon. Tidus: (narrating) So what he meant...was that we should respect some kinda great men or something like that...I figured. After Tidus prayed, he looks for Wakka in one of the hut and talks to him. Wakka: Sorry, man. No time for lunch yet. Take a nap! You look bushed. Tidus: Thanks! Tidus takes a nap. The priest came in to Wakka's hut and talks to him. Priest: You could at least go see how they are doing. Wakka: We can't interfere. It's a rule. But, it's been nearly... Wakka leaves with the priest. In Tidus' dream... Man: But, it's been nearly... It's been nearly a day already. Woman: Perhaps you could go look for us. Man: People are searching for him now. Woman: Thank you. Young Tidus: Who cares whether he comes back or not? Woman: But he might die! Young Tidus: Fine, let him! Woman: Do you... Do you hate him so? Young Tidus nods "yes". Woman: If he dies, you'll never be able to tell him how much you hate him. The dream ended. Tidus woke up the next morning. Tidus: Wakka? Tidus proceeds to the temple. In there, Tidus found Wakka. Tidus: Is something wrong? Wakka: The summoner hasn't returned from the trial. Tidus: Eh? Wakka: Well, apprentice summoner, really... Tidus: Ah? Wakka: There's a room in there called the Cloister of Trials. Beyond is where the apprentice summoner prays. If the prayer is heard, the apprentice becomes a fully-fledged summoner, remember? Tidus: So someone is in there somewhere and they haven't come back out. Right, I got it. Wakka: A day's already gone by. Tidus: Is it particularly dangerous in there? Wakka: Sometimes, yes. Tidus: Why don't you go in and help? Wakka: There's already guardians in there. Besides, it's forbidden. Tidus runs up the stairs. Tidus: Hey, but what if somethin' happens? What if the summoner dies!? Priest: The precepts must be obeyed! Tidus: Like I care! (narrating) Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all. Tidus and proceed to the Cloister of Trials. After solving the puzzles to this area, Wakka appeared. Wakka: Hey! What's gotten into you? Hey, it's okay. Only summoners, apprentice summoners, and their guardians can enter here. It's a tradition. Very important. Tidus: So what about you? Wakka: Me? I'm a guardian. Tidus: A guardian? An elevator platform appeared under Tidus and Wakka and they go down. Wakka: Summoners go on a pilgrimage to pray at every temple in Spira. Guardians protect them. The guardians in there now... One of them's got a short fuse, and who knows what the other's thinking. Well, now that we've come this far...might as well go all the way! In the prayer's room... Female Guardian: What are you doing here? Didn't think we'd be able to handle it? Wakka: No, it's uh...it's just... (to Tidus) See, I told you she gets mad easy. Tidus looks at a Ronso and the Ronso just stared at Tidus. Tidus: Is the summoner all right? Female Guardian: Who are you? Suddenly, everyone heard the door open and we watch a movie of a beautiful female summoner coming out. Just when she is about to walk downstairs, she starts to fall, but the Ronso caught her before she could fall downstairs. The female summoner gets up. Female Summoner: I've done it. I have become a summoner! Tidus and the other people got out of the Cloister of Trials. In the main temple area... Tidus: (narrating) Man was I surprised. And here I was thinking summoners were all old geezers. Tidus follows everyone outside. Outside of the temple... Wakka: Hey, over here! Wakka grabs and moves Tidus. Tidus: What? Ow! Wakka: Wait till you see this! Tidus: I can't see anything! Tidus broke up from Wakka's grab. Wakka: (to the female summoner) Ready! Female Summoner: Okay! The female summoner summons Valefor. After that... Tidus: (narrating) I had never seen anything like it in my life. Sure, it was a little scary, but still...I could feel a strange kind of gentleness coming from it. Valefor flew away. Tidus: (narrating) I remember... That night, we talked for the first time. I didn't know it then, but after that night, everything changed. For everyone... For me... Later that night in the campfire... Wakka: (to Tidus) Let me introduce you to the team. (to his teammates and putting his arm on Tidus' shoulder) This guy wants into the tournament so bad, I let him on the team. His memory's a little fuzzy, so don't mind him if he says anything odd! (to Tidus) Come on, say hi. Wakka pushes Tidus to make him say "hi". Tidus: (to Wakka's teammates) Uh... Hi, guys. The teammates say hello back. Tidus: So, what's our goal? Aurochs: To do our best! Wakka: Nope, we got a new goal now! Our new goal...is victory! To win every match, defeat every opposing team! To bring the Crystal Cup back to our island! That's all we need to do to win! Easy, ya? Aurochs: Victory... Victory! Victory! Victory! Yeah! Tidus approaches the female summoner. Old Man: You heathen! Old Woman: Stay away from the summoner! Girl: You're a bad man! Old Man: Lady Yuna! Be careful! Female Summoner: But it was really my fault to begin with. (to Tidus) I'm Yuna. Thank you so much for your help earlier. Tidus: I'm sorry about that. Wasn't that... Wasn't I not supposed to... Guess I...kind of overreacted. Yuna: Oh, no. I was...overconfident. Tidus: Um, I saw that aeon thing. That's amazing! Yuna: Really? Do you think I can become high summoner? Girl: Lady Yuna, come play with me some more! Yuna nodded "yes" for the girl. The girl left. Yuna: So, tomorrow, then. Tidus: Tomorrow? Yuna: We're going on the same boat, aren't we? Tidus: Oh, really? Yuna: We can talk more. You can tell me all about Zanarkand! Yuna went back to where she sat down. Wakka: (to Tidus) She's cute, ya? Tidus: Yeah! Wakka: Don't get no ideas. Tidus: No promises there, big guy. Hey, but what if she, like, comes on to me? Wakka: That's not going to happen. If you get tired, let me know. I had a bed made for you. Tidus talks to Wakka again. Wakka: Hm? Ready for bed? Tidus: Yeah. Wakka: Good. Sleep tight. In the lodge, Tidus is sleeping and is dreaming. In the dream, he saw Yuna and talks to her. Tidus: Where's that boat? Yuna: Everyone will find us if it doesn't come soon. Tidus: You really sure this is okay? Yuna: Would you take me to Zanarkand? Rikku: Hey! You'd said you'd go with me! Rikku appeared. Tidus: Oh, hey...I, uh... Rikku: I thought Wakka told you not to get any ideas? Yuna: He did? Rikku: Yeah, so you're coming with me! Jecht: Hey! Stop dreaming! Jecht appeared. Jecht is Tidus' father. Jecht: You with a woman? You can't even catch a ball! Oh, what's the matter? Gonna cry again? Cry, cry. That's the only thing you're good for! Young Tidus: I hate you. Jecht: Huh? What'd you say? Yuna: You have to speak loudly. Young Tidus: I hate you! Jecht: Eh? Rikku: That's the spirit! Yuna: You can do it! The dream ended. Tidus woke up. Tidus: (thought he was still dreaming when he woke up) I hate you! Voice of Female Guardian: He's dead, okay? Dead! We watch a movie of Tidus peeping outside where Lulu and Wakka are talking. Tidus listens. Lulu: He does look a lot like Chappu. I was surprised, too, the first time I saw him. But no matter what he looks like, he isn't Chappu. You shouldn't have brought him here in the first place! Wakka: Yeah, but...he needed our help! Lulu: Excuses again? Wakka: Yeah, but... Lulu: That's it. No more. Enough, Wakka! Lulu left the scene. Wakka entered the lodge. Tidus: Scary! So, who's Chappu? Wakka: My little brother Chappu. He looked like you. Tidus: He's dead? Wakka: He was with the Crusaders when they fought Sin last year. He didn't make it. I first heard on the day of the tournament. Tidus: Oh, so that's why. Wakka: I became a guardian to fight Sin, ya? Tidus: Revenge, then? Wakka: That was the idea. I'm more worried about a stupid game now than avenging my brother. Well, after the next tournament, I'll be a guardian full-time. I know it kinda looks like I'm using you, but I'm not. Tidus: Don't worry. I mean, I owe you a lot. You really helped me out, you know? What I mean is...thanks, Wakka. Wakka: Stop, you're embarrassing me! The next morning, Tidus gets out of the lodge and met up with Wakka and Lulu. Wakka: Hey! Sleepyhead! Something I want to give you. Wakka shows Tidus a sword. Tidus: Whoa! You're giving this...to me? Wakka: Yeah, use it well! Lulu: (to Wakka) That's the sword you gave Chappu. Wakka: Well, he never used it. Where's Yuna? Tidus: We're taking the same boat as Yuna, right? Why do we gotta wait here? Wakka: Yuna came to this village ten years ago, when the last Calm started. Tidus: The Calm? Wakka: Since then, she's been like a little sister to me and Lulu. But she had the talent... She became an apprentice. Now, today, she leaves as a summoner. Lulu: This is our journey... We should leave together. Tidus' group saw Yuna carrying a luggage. Lulu: (to Yuna) You really don't need all that luggage. Yuna: They're not really my things. They're gifts for the temples we're to visit. Wakka: This isn't a vacation, Yuna. Yuna: I guess...I guess you're right. Wakka: Okay! Off we go! Tidus' group moves on. On the top of the hill... Lulu: (to Yuna) Take your time. Tidus: Let's get going, man! Wakka: We're gonna wait. (to Yuna) Are you ready? Yuna nods "yes". Tidus: What's going on? Tidus talks to Wakka who is praying near a statue. Wakka: It's an ancient custom. People leaving the island pray here for a safe trip. Chappu didn't pray that day. Said he'd miss his boat. After Tidus' group prayed... Wakka: That should do it! Tidus' group moves on. We watch a movie of Tidus encountering a Ronso. Tidus fights the Ronso. After the fight... Wakka: (to the Ronso) That's enough! Tidus: What's with that guy? Lulu: Kimahri Ronso, of the Ronso tribe. He's learned the fiends' way of fighting. Tidus: That's not what I meant! Wakka: He's another of Yuna's guardians. Yuna: Sometimes we don't understand him either. Kimahri doesn't talk much anyway. Wakka: Hmph. Yuna: But he has protected me since I was a child! Tidus' group arrived at the port where a boat is waiting. Tidus' group gets on board. The citizens wave goodbye and the kids are crying while waving goodbye. Yuna: Goodbye. The boat takes off. In the deck of the boat, Tidus messes around with a passenger by blocking the view of the binoculars. Tidus took the binoculars from the passenger and looks at everyone with it. Then after giving the binoculars back to the passenger, Tidus finds Yuna surrounded by people. Passenger 1: Word is that summoner's got noble blood! Passenger 2: I heard she's Lord Braska's daughter! Passenger 1: Ya don't say? Tidus: Lord Braska's...daughter? Tidus talks to Wakka. Tidus: So, is Yuna's father famous or something? Wakka: She's the daughter of High Summoner Braska! You saw his statue at the temple. Lord Braska defeated Sin ten years ago. Yuna's the heir to a great legacy! Tidus: It's tough when your father's famous. Wakka: Heh? Lulu: Wakka's...a bit lacking in the imagination department. Tidus: Ha ha. Thanks, Lulu. I'll keep that in mind. Tidus talks to Yuna. Yuna: The wind...it's nice. Tidus and Yuna laughs. Yuna: You're a blitzball player, aren't you? From Zanarkand, right? Tidus: You hear that from Wakka? Wakka doesn't believe me at all. Yuna: But I believe you! I've heard, in Zanarkand...there is a great stadium, all lit up even at night! Tidus: Huh? Yuna: Great blitzball tournaments are held there, and the stands are always full! Tidus: How do you know that? Yuna: A man named Jecht told me. He was my father's guardian. Tidus mumbles "Jecht" to himself in an unhappy way. Tidus: My father...his name is Jecht! Yuna: Amazing! You know, our meeting like this must be the blessing of Yevon! Tidus: Sounds like him, but it can't be him. Yuna: Why not? Tidus: My old man, he died. Ten years ago, off the coast of Zanarkand. Yuna: I'm sorry. Tidus: He went out to sea for training one day...and never came back. And no one's seen him since then. Yuna: Why, that's the day that Jecht came to Spira. It's true! I first met Jecht ten years and three months ago! I remember, that was the day my father left. The date fits, doesn't it? Tidus: Yeah, but how would he get here? Yuna: You're here, are you not? Suddenly there was a big vibration from the water. We watch a movie of the boat S.S. Liki going through the big waves of water. Tidus tried to hold Yuna but Yuna fell, caught the harpoon handle, and Kimahri saved her. We watch another movie of Sin rising out of the water. Passenger: Sin! We watch another movie of Sin about to attack. One of the passengers readies the harpoon. Wakka: What do you think you're doing? Stick a harpoon in him and we'll get dragged under! Passenger: Sin is going for Kilika! We gotta distract it! Our families are in Kilika! Forgive us, Lady Summoner! Wakka: Wait! Oh, boy... We watch a movie of the harpoons fired at Sin. The harpoon poked and grabbed Sin's fin. Tidus' group fights Sin. That fight ended with the help of Wakka's long distance Blitzball weapon. We watch a movie of Sin diving down and getting out of the water. Then all of a sudden, everyone but Tidus is still on board the S.S. Liki. Wakka dives into the water. Meanwhile in the water, Tidus is unconscious and is attacked by Sinscales. A Blitzball destroyed the Sinscales. Wakka used Potion on Tidus and Tidus is recovered. Tidus and Wakka fight Sinspawn Echuilles. After defeating it, we watch a movie of Sin engulfing the town of Kilika. Kilika is almost completely destroyed. Tidus: (narrating) When Sin attacked Zanarkand that day, I woke up in Spira. I kept hoping it would work in reverse, too. Yuna: I will defeat Sin... I must defeat Sin. Tidus: (narrating) I was just fooling myself. Maybe it was that day...on the sea, under the burning sun. I started to give up hope. I was in a foreign world. I wasn't going home. This was my new reality, and I was stuck in it for good. The S.S. Liki docked at the remains of Kilika. Yuna and Tidus' group gets off. Yuna: Greetings! I am the summoner Yuna. I have come from the temple in Besaid. Woman: M'lady Summoner! Yuna: If there is no other summoner here, please allow me to perform the sending. Man: Thank be to ye! Woman: Our loved ones... We feared they would become fiends! Yuna: Please, take me to them. Yuna left with the man and woman. Wakka: (to Tidus) We'll go see what we can do to help in town. Tidus proceeds to where all the people waiting for Yuna to prepare her sending. Tidus talks to Lulu. Tidus: Uh, what's a "sending"? Are we going somewhere? Lulu: You truly are clueless. Are you sure it's your memory that's the problem? The dead need guidance. Filled with grief over their own death, they refuse to face their fate. They yearn to live on, and resent those still alive. You see, they envy the living. And in time, that envy turns to anger, even hate. Should these souls remain in Spira, they become fiends that prey on the living. Sad, isn't it? The sending takes them to the Farplane, where they may rest in peace. Tidus: Summoners do this? We watch a movie of Yuna without boots walking in water and perform the sending. Some of the citizens are crying. After that is over... Tidus: It must be tough, being a summoner. Lulu: Yuna chose her own path. She knew from the beginning what it meant. All we can do is protect her along the way. Until the end. Tidus: Until the...end? What's the end? Everyone starts looking at Tidus after what he said. Lulu: Until she defeats Sin. Yuna: I hope... I hope I did okay. Lulu: (comforting Yuna) You did very well! They've reached the Farplane by now. But...no tears next time, hm? Tidus: (narrating) I wished there would never be a next time. No more people being killed by Sin. No more sendings for Yuna. Everyone stood there watching her. It was strange, and somehow...horrifying. I never wanted to see it again. The next morning, Tidus gets out and one of Wakka's teammate appeared. Datto: Hey! You awake? Cap'n Wakka's waitin' for you! Tidus found Wakka and talks to him. Wakka: Ah, there you are! (to his teammates) Besaid Aurochs! Huddle! On to the temple, where we pray for victory! The teammates agree and left. Wakka: High Summoner Ohalland used to live in the Kilika temple here. Yep. Lord Ohalland was once a great blitzer, you know? Tidus: Wakka... Wakka: Hm? Tidus: Praying for victory's all good...but is this right? Wakka: Something wrong with enjoying blitzball? Tidus: Is this really the time? Wakka: This is the only time! The players fight with all their strength: the fans cheer for their favorite team. They forget pain, suffering... Only the game matters! That's why blitz has been around for so long. Least that's what I think. Tidus: Whatever you say. Wakka: Let's play...and win! Right? Tidus: Right! Wakka: Temple's beyond the jungle there. Let's go! Tidus and Wakka caught up with their group. Wakka: (to Lulu) What's up? Lulu: (to Tidus) Yuna's saying she wants you with us. Tidus: Huh? Yuna: I want to ask you to be my guardian. Wakka: Yuna! What? This is no time for jokes, ya? He may be a blitzball whiz kid, but up against fiends, he's a newbie. Yuna: Not a guardian, then...I just want him nearby. Tidus: What? What do you mean? Yuna: It's just that, well... Lulu: We're all going to the temple anyway. Can't this wait till later? Yuna: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have... Tidus: There's nothing to be sorry about. I'm just not really sure what's going on. Yuna: My apologies. Tidus' group moves on. In the next area... Wakka: These stone steps have a history, you know? Tidus looks at the stairs leading up. Wakka: Yep. Lord Ohalland trained here at his peak. The two of Wakka's teammates laughed. Tidus: A race, huh? Think you can beat me? Wakka: Yuna, if you would. Yuna: Ready? Yuna ran up the stairs. Wakka: Hey! Hey! Tidus ran up the stairs. Suddenly... Datto: L-Look out! Wakka: Everyone, quick! Sinspawn! Tidus' group fights Sinspawn Geneaux. After Tidus' group defeats Sinspawn Geneaux... Tidus: (huffing and puffing) Yeesh! Wakka: Sorry about that! Hoped to break you in a little slower. Tidus: Being a guardian's tiring! Wakka: You handled yourself pretty well. You got talent. Tidus: Nah. So, what are these "sinspawn" anyway? Lulu: Fiends. They fall from Sin's body, and are left behind in its wake. Wakka: Leave 'em alone, and Sin comes back for 'em. You gotta be quick! Tidus: (narrating) That moment when Wakka told me I had talent in battle...I think that was when I started seriously considering becoming a guardian. Tidus' group moves on. In the next area... Wakka: (to Tidus) So, uh...they got fiends in Zanarkand, too? Tidus: Just a few. It's a big deal when one shows up, though. Hey! Since when have you believed me about Zanarkand, anyway? Wakka: I been thinking. Maybe people Sin gets to don't die. Maybe Sin carries 'em through time. Like a thousand years through time. And then, one day, maybe they just pop back, see? Lulu: Amazing. Simply amazing. (to Wakka) You make up one theory after another, refusing to face the simple truth. Sin didn't take Chappu anywhere. Sin crushed him and left him on the Djose shore! Your brother won't just pop back. Oh, and one more thing. No matter how much you want it, no one can take Chappu's place. No one can replace Sir Jecht, for that matter. And there's no replacement for Lord Braska, either. It's pointless to think about it, and sad. Lulu left. Wakka talks to himself. Wakka: (sitting on the ground) I...I could never be what Chappu was. (standing up) Well, stuff happens. Best not to worry. Tidus: (narrating) Wakka, Lulu, and Wakka's brother Chappu. Something had happened between them a long time ago. I was sure of it. Well, whatever it was, it was none of my business, that's for sure. Best not to go there. Tidus' group moves on. Outside the Kilika Temple, three Blitzball players from Luca appeared. Wakka: You here to pray for victory, too? Luca Goer 1: Us? Pray? Who needs to pray? The Luca Goers always win! Wakka: Oh, yeah? Then why are you here? Luca Goer 2: We've been praying for some competition this year! Luca Goer 1: So, what's you goal this time? You gonna "do your best" again? Ha! It's too bad your best isn't good enough! Why even bother showing up? Tidus: This time, we play to win! Luca Goer 1: Oooh! Play away! Just remember even kids can play, boys. The Luca Goers left. Wakka: See you in the finals! Tidus: We'll beat them. We have to! Yuna: You know that team? Tidus: Putting people down... They're as bad as my old man! Yuna: But, Sir Jecht was a kind and gentle man! Tidus: Well, not my Jecht. (narrating) Even ten years after he left...just thinking about my old man got me angry. But maybe that was just my way of keeping him... Nah. Tidus' group enters the Kilika Temple. In there, Tidus talks to Wakka who is praying near a statue. Wakka: Lord Ohalland, guide our feet. Tidus prays. Then, a summoner and her guardian came out of the entrance to the elevator. Summoner: A summoner, are you? Yuna: My name is Yuna-from the Isle of Besaid. Dona: Dona. So, you're High Summoner Braska's daughter. That's quite a name to live up to. My, my, my... And all these people are your guardians? My, what a rabble! As I recall, Lord Braska had only two guardians. Quality over quantity, my dear. Whatever were you thinking? I have need of only one guardian. Right, Barthello? Barthello nods "yes". Yuna: I only have as many guardians as there are people I can trust. I trust them all with my life! To have so many guardians is a joy, and an honor! Even more so than being my father's daughter. Of course, I would never think of questioning your ways, either. So, Lady Dona, I ask of you: please leave us in peace. Dona: You do what you want. Barthello, we're leaving. Dona and Barthello left. Tidus: A guardian is someone a summoner can rely on. Someone she can trust with her life. I wondered, did Yuna feel that way about me? What's she smiling about? Tidus' group moves on to the room with an elevator. In there... Wakka: The fayth is below. Let's do it! Tidus: The "fayth"? Lulu: But first, the Cloister of Trials. Kimahri? Wakka? Ready? Kimahri and Wakka nodded "yes". Yuna: Strength, everyone! Tidus' group gets on the elevator and Kimahri pushes Tidus away from the elevator. Tidus: Hey, what gives? Lulu: You're not a guardian yet. Yuna: We'll be back as soon as we can, okay? The elevator goes down without Tidus. Tidus: Oh, sure! Soon like "tomorrow" soon, I bet! Tidus waits for the elevator to come up. After it arrived at the floor where Tidus is waiting, Dona and Barthello appeared. Dona: Where's Yuna? Tidus point to the elevator showing that they are at the bottom level. Dona: Then why are you here? Tidus: Hey, I'm not a guardian, so I'm not supposed to go in, right? Dona: Hmm. Not a guardian, you say? Barthello picks Tidus up. Tidus: Hey! Wait! Ah! Lemme go! Barthello threw Tidus down to the elevator platform. Tidus: Hey! What's the big idea? Dona: Just a little game. The elevator goes down. Tidus: This is bad, really bad. In the bottom floor and before Tidus is about to enter the door... Tidus: Only guardians allowed, and I'm sure no guardian. Well, I guess it's too late now. Tidus enters the door. After solving the puzzles in these areas, he eventually found his group. Tidus talks to Wakka. Wakka: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Tidus: It was Dona and that big musclehead man! Lulu: Yuna will be the one to suffer the consequences! Tidus: What consequences? Wakka: She could be excommunicated! Tidus talks to Wakka again. Wakka: Just wait. Tidus: So, what's in there anyway? Wakka: The fayth, remember? Tidus: Oh yeah, that thing. Right. Lulu: The fayth are people who gave their lives to battle Sin. Yevon took their souls, willingly given from their still-living bodies. Tidus: Huh? Lulu: Now they live forever trapped in statues. But when a summoner beckons, the souls of the fayth emerge once again. That's what we call an aeon. Tidus: All that in this room? S-So what's Yuna doing in there? Wakka: She prays with all her heart for a way to defeat Sin. Just when Tidus is about to walk out, Yuna came out of the room and is kneeling. Tidus: (narrating) There was something I didn't tell anyone else that day. That song we heard there, in the temple...I knew it from my childhood. It was proof that Spira and Zanarkand were connected somehow. At least to me it was. Maybe that's why, suddenly, I felt life...I just wanted to go home. I tried to say something, to tell them. But the words wouldn't come. Yuna now can summon Ifrit. Later, Tidus' group got out of the temple. Outside, the people get closer to Yuna. Tidus then flashback about when he was still in Zanarkand. Tidus: (narrating) I thought I had put my feelings for Zanarkand behind me. But they were there, and they grew inside me, bigger, and bigger, till I was just ready to burst. The flashback ended. Tidus stops and Yuna talks to him. Yuna: Are...are you okay? Tidus: I...I don't know. Yuna: What do you want to do? Tidus: To scream out loud. Tidus starts screaming out loud. After that, Tidus' groups are on their way back to Kilika. Tidus' group embarks on the boat S.S. Winno. Wakka: Off to Luca at last! The matches start soon as we get there, so rest up on the way, ya? The S.S. Winno set sails to Luca. Tidus gets to the deck and eavesdrop what the Luca Goers are saying to Yuna. Tidus: What are you all talking about? Bickson: Who are you supposed to be? Graav: Ah, I remember him. Guy from Kilika. Bickson: Hmm? Graav: You know, one of the Besaid Aurochs. Said somethin' about winning the cup. Bickson: Oh, right. You're that idiot. Yuna: Don't call him that! Bickson: But he is an idiot. They don't got what it takes to win the cup. Tidus: Well, they do now that I'm here! Yuna: Yes, they will win! He used to be the star player of the Zanarkand Abes! Graav: Yeah, as if anyone lived in those ruins. Yuna: It's not ruins, there's a big city there! There is! Tidus: I-I got too close to Sin and- Yuna: There is a city, really! Bickson: Right. Whatever Your Ladyship says. Tidus ascends the stairs to the upper deck and listens to Wakka and Lulu communicating. 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! It is mine, huh? Tidus walks back upstairs to the upper deck for the 2nd time to listen to Wakka and Lulu. Wakka: Why do you think she wants to make him a guardian, anyway? Lulu: Because he's Sir Jecht's son. Wakka: Oh, right. Wait, you sure 'bout that? He's really Sir Jecht's son? Lulu: It's hard to say, but Yuna seems to believe so. Wakka: Okay. Lulu: "Okay?" "Okay?" That's all you have to say? Wakka: Well, yeah, I mean... He's gotta decide for himself, ya? Well, him and Yuna, I guess. Lulu: You're right, for once. Wakka: Ahem! Lulu: I wonder which is best... Tidus walks back upstairs for the 3rd time to listen to Wakka and Lulu talking more. Lulu: Why don't you tell him he should? Wakka: Should what? Lulu: Become Yuna's guardian. Wakka: Why me? Lulu: Because Yuna can't. Wakka: Why not? Lulu: He hates his father-what he was, what he did. Do you really think she can possibly say to him... "I want you to be my guardian, like your father was to mine?" Wakka: Aren't you being over-sensitive? Lulu is getting frustrated. Wakka: All right, all right. I'll try talking to him after the tournament. Lulu: Be discreet. Wakka: I know. It's his decision. Tidus walks back upstairs for the 4th time and listens to Wakka and Lulu talking about him. Wakka: He doesn't like his father? Lulu: Apparently. He told Yuna as much. Wakka: Hating your own father, huh? Sounds like a luxury to me. I don't remember my parents. Can't say how I feel about 'em. Lulu: I...I was five then, so I remember mine a little. Wakka: Dammit! Sin just takes everything away from us. Tidus talks to Wakka. Wakka: Go to bed, bud. Tournament starts tomorrow morning. Before Tidus could walk downstairs, Wakka talks to him. Wakka: Someone's bound to recognize you when they see your moves out there. At the bottom deck, Tidus saw a Blitzball and then flashes back to the past when he was a kid and tried to kick the Blitzball. Jecht appeared. Jecht: Well, well, trying to follow in my footsteps, are you? I usually charge for lessons, you know... That shot is done like this! (performing the shot) 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! Tidus prepares the shot and he succeeded in making the Jecht Shot. Tidus: The best? Yeah, right. Tidus turns around after being startled by Wakka and the Aurochs. Wakka: Whoa! What's that called? Tidus: Doesn't have a name. Anyone can do it if they try. Wakka: Show us one more time, ya? Tidus is preparing and Yuna waved. Tidus performed the Jecht Shot again. After that, Tidus talks to Yuna. Yuna: That was the Jecht Shot, wasn't it? Tidus: How do you know that? Yuna: Sir Jecht showed it to me when I was a child. He called it the "Sublimely Magnificent Jecht Shot Mark III." Tidus: Stupid name, huh? You know what? 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. I used to get so mad. Yuna giggles. Tidus: Is he alive, you think? Yuna: I don't know. But, Sir Jecht was my father's guardian. Tidus: So he's famous here, too? Yuna: Yes. So if anything happened to him, I should think word would get around fast. Tidus: Uh-huh. Yuna: What would you do, if you found him? Tidus: Who knows? I thought he died ten years ago. Well...I'd probably just smack him one. After everything he put Mom and me through. And because he was famous, 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. Tidus: Sure. Yuna: But the honor of having a father like him surpasses all that, I think. Tidus: Well, there wasn't much to honor about my old man, that's for sure. Yuna: You shouldn't say that about your father! Tidus: I got the right! Yuna: I guess you do. Tidus: (hit by a thrown Blitzball) Ow! Wakka: Show me that move again! Tidus: (narrating) 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. And these feelings of mine are usually right. 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 anymore. The next morning, we watch a movie of the view of Luca. The S. S. Winno docked at Luca. The commentators at Luca speak. Bobba: Ah, over there! The ships carrying the players are arriving now! This would be dock number 2. All the way from Kilika, it's the Kilika Beasts! High Summoner Ohalland used to play for them-a big name to live up to. Their hometown was recently attacked by Sin. Isn't that right, Jimma? Jimma: Yes, Bobba. They're going to be pulling out all the stops to try and bring back the cup this year. Bobba: Exciting, isn't it, folks? Our next team off the ramp is... Well, well, well! If it isn't the Besaid Aurochs! They're a living, breathing, statistical impossibility! I've never seen a team this bad! That's right! In twenty-three years they've never made it past the first round! Only a few die-hard fans are in the audience today. Jimma: Best of luck to them, and a safe journey back to Besaid. Bobba: Right, Jimma. Moving right along, our next team is... Here they are, folks! Our very own Luca Goers! They've got power! They've got speed! They've got teamwork! They're an all-around first-class team! And they're back home in Luca! Jimma: Without a doubt, they are the favorite this year, Bobba. And after the way they dominated last year, it'd take a miracle for them to lose today. Bobba: You can say that again, Jimma. Look at the crowd, folks! Look at the crowd! Looks like all of Luca has turned out to cheer the Goers on! They know, I know, and you know, folks! The Luca Goers are number one! The commentators are finished talking. Wakka: It's like this year, ya? Don't' let it bother you. Tidus climbs the crate, picked up a macrophone. Tidus: (speaking in a macrophone) Stop right there, Goers! You guys are smilin' now, but not for long! 'Cause this year, us Aurochs are taking the cup! Tidus giggles. Later... Wakka: What in Yevon's name were you doing up there? Datto: We sure stood out, though! Letty: We were on the sphere! Auroch: We were? Man: Maester Mika is here! Woman: Already? Man 2: The number 3 dock! Tidus: What's up now? Yuna: Maester Mike has arrived, that's what! Tidus: Mika? Maester? Lulu: Maester Mika is the leader of all the people of Spira. He's come all the way from Bevelle. The tournament is being held to honor his fifty years as maester. Tidus: Fifty years? Shouldn't he be, uh, retired by now? Wakka: Hey! Mind your mouth, now. Yuna: Let's all go see him! Tidus' group proceeds to dock 3. In there... Tidus: Can't see a thing! Wakka: Shhhh! The maester walked off the ship. Man: That's a Guado, right? Woman: Who could it be? Man 2: Isn't that Maester Seymour? Everyone starts praying. Mika: People of Spira, I thank you for your generous welcome. (to Seymour) Rise, Maester Seymour. And all of you as well. I present to you...the son of Maester Jyscal Guado, who departed for the Farplane a fortnight past. As some of you already know, he has been officially ordained a maester of Yevon. Seymour: I am Seymour Guado. I am honored to receive the title of maester. In life, my father Jyscal worked to foster friendship between man and Guado. I vow to carry on his legacy, and to fulfill my duties as maester to the best of my abilities. Tidus: Hmph. Wakka: (to Tidus) You, too! Bow your head! Seymour left. Wakka: Really psyches you up, ya? All right! Last meeting before the match! Hustle! Later in the Aurochs' locker room... Tidus: Where's Wakka? Datto: At the match-up draws. Letty: We had to play the Goers in the first match last year. Jessu: The year before that, and the one before that, too! Keepa: Well, we would've lost to anyone anyway. Wakka appeared. Datto: Cap'n Wakka! Wakka: We're playin' the Al Bhed Psyches first. If we win, we're in the finals! That's right, we got seeded! Two wins and we're the champions! First things first. Let's go over the basics again, boys. Tidus and the Aurochs went through the tutorial of Blitzball. After that, Yuna came in. Yuna: There you are! Someone said they saw Sir Auron in a cafe! Tidus: Au-Auron? Yuna: Yes, Sir Auron! Let's go find him! Wakka: Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! The game starts like real soon! C-Come back quick, ya? Tidus: Hey, I'll be back. Wakka: Yeah, okay. Tidus: Hey, Wakka. You're stiff, man. Wakka thinks it is his face. Tidus: No, no, not your face. Just breathe out, relax. Like this. Just breathe, yeah! Yuna giggles. Tidus meets Yuna outside of the Aurochs' locker room. Yuna: Maybe now we can find Sir Jecht. Tidus: Huh? How? Yuna: Sir Auron was also my father's guardian. So, he might know where Sir Jecht is. Let's go now. Tidus: (narrating) It didn't even occur to me to think that the Auron Yuna was talking about...and the one that I knew from Zanarkand could be two different people. I don't know why, but I knew it was the same guy. I knew it was the same Auron. Tidus saw two of the Al Bheds. Ah Bhed 1: E meto summoner! (A lady summoner!) Ah Bhed 2: Fa sicd nabund. (We must report.) Tidus: Hey! Al Bhed Psyches, right? Some Al Bhed saved me the other day, and... This girl Rikku gave me food and... Uh... You don't understand me, do you? Uh, anyway... If you meet Rikku, tell her thanks for me. Oh, and as for the first game? May the best team win! Tidus caught up with Yuna south of the ticket booth. Yuna: (to the citizens blocking her way) I'm sorry, please let me through. (to Tidus) Hey, let's go. The citizens are looking at Yuna. Tidus: You're really famous. Later... Yuna: I hope we don't get separated. Tidus: Yuna! Tidus did a call whistle with his fingers. Yuna: What was that? Tidus giggles. Tidus: In Zanarkand, we do this to cheer on blitzball players. Tidus blows a whistle again. Tidus: You try it, too! Put your fingers in your mouth like this. Yuna: Like...this? Tidus: Uh-uh, not like that. Like this. Then, you just blow. Yuna tries it, but no whistle was made and she couldn't do it. Yuna: It's not working. Tidus: Practice! Yuna: Okay. Tidus: Hey, use that if we get separated. Then, I'll come running, okay? Well, guess we should just stick together, then, till you can do it. Yuna: Yes, sir! Tidus and Yuna proceed to the marketplace. At the marketplace... Tidus: Whoa! This is a pretty big town! Yuna: Luca is the second largest city in Spira. Tidus: I thought every town was little-you know, like Besaid and Kilika. Yuna: Towns don't usually get bigger than that. Because when a lot of people start to gather... Tidus: Sin...? What about Luca? It's safe here? Yuna: It's not any different, but the stadium is here. The Crusaders fight to protect it with all their strength. Tidus: They protect the stadium? Yuna: Blitzball's really the only entertainment that we have. Spira's a little short on fun these days. Tidus: Whoa! Talk about pressure! Yuna giggles. Yuna: That's right! Is Zanarkand like this, too? Tidus: Well, there are more buildings. All tall ones and cramped together. Yuna: Oh. They must be so tall! Don't you ever get dizzy? Tidus giggles. Yuna: Let's go find Sir Auron! Tidus and Yuna entered the cafe. In there... Tidus: (sighs) Auron's not here. Later Tidus saw two Ronsos talking to Kimahri. Yenke: Why not talk, Kimahri? Not see Yenke for ten years! Say something! Kimahri forget Yenke? Forget Biran? Biran: Leave Kimahri, Yenke. Kimahri is small Ronso. Kimahri so small can't see Yenke and Biran's faces. Yenke: Kimahri forget Ronso friends? We taught you much at time of horn-molt! Biran taught Kimahri to be strong Ronso. Biran: Maybe taught too much. Tidus: (to Kimahri) Take 'em on! Yenke laughs and then Kimahri gave an uppercut to Yenke knocking him down. Man: Take it outside! The tournament's starting, you hear? Biran starts attacking Kimahri. Tidus: (looking at the screen) The game! Mika is talking on broadcast. Mika: Today, on this glorious day, players from all over Spira have assembled here...to participate in this great contest of bravery, skill, and strength. All of these fine teams, equally renowned, deserve to win the cup today. 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 the valor of the defeated. Contestants, may Yevon be with you. We watch a movie of the water shooting out to create the Blitzball arena. Wakka's team the Aurochs and the Al Bhed Psyches began the game. Later in the cafe... Tidus: Kimahri! Yuna's gone! Tidus and Kimahri go outside and saw Lulu. Lulu: Where in Spira have you been!? Tidus: Huh? Lulu: Yuna's been kidnapped by the Al Bhed Psyches. In return for her safe return, they want the Aurochs to lose. Tidus: What!? Lulu: If they're only blitzball players, I doubt they'd do anything drastic. But we shouldn't take chances. Let's go get her. Tidus: I'm going too! This will be no problem! They're telling the Aurochs to throw the game, as if they needed to! I mean, how good a team can they be? Lulu: Wakka said the same thing. He'll take care of the game. We should go get Yuna. The Al Bhed boat is in dock 4. Let's go. Tidus, Kimahri, and Lulu finally arrived in dock 4 after fighting a series of Workers. At dock 4, Tidus, Kimahri, and Lulu watched the screen of the broadcasting Blitzball game. Bobba: The Aurochs are keeping the score tied with some excellent defense, folks! Wakka caught the Blitzball, but one of the Al Bhed Psyches tackled him hard. Bobba: Ow! He'll feel that one in the morning! Jimma: But the referee doesn't call the foul! Wakka's taking a real beating out there. Later with Tidus, Kimahri, and Lulu... Tidus: Still in there! Lulu: He won't last. Wakka's always like that. Tidus: Ouch. Lulu: Let's go. Tidus, Kimahri, and Lulu move on. Then, they saw the Al Bhed ship leaving. Lulu: Let's go. Tidus' group hops on board and encounters Oblitzerator. Tidus and Lulu assisted in using the crane and the crane partially damaged Oblitzerator. Then, Tidus' group destroys Oblitzerator. After that, Yuna came out of the door and one of the Al Bhed is KO'd. After that... Lulu: I hope you hurt them. Yuna: A little. (to Tidus) What is it? Tidus: There were these Al Bhed that saved my life when I first came to Spira. They took me on their ship, even gave me food. I was kinda hoping this was the same ship. But it's not. I wonder if they're all gone. Yuna: What happened? Tidus: Sin came up near us. I made it out okay, but I don't know what happened to their ship. Yuna: Um, was there anyone called Cid on that ship? Tidus: I don't know. They were all speaking that Al Bhed language. Yuna: I see... Tidus: So who's Cid? Yuna: He's my uncle, but I've never actually met him. Tidus: Wait. That means you're Al Bhed, too, Yuna? 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. Tidus: You're worried he was...? Lulu: Don't tell Wakka about Yuna's lineage. The thing about Wakka-he never had much love for the Al Bhed. Tidus: Whoa! I gotta tell Wakka! Lulu: I told you not to tell Wakka! Yuna: The game! Lulu: Oh! Meanwhile in the game... Bobba: Thirty seconds left! The Aurochs are launching an all-out offensive! A long pass for Letty! It goes through! Wakka shoots the ball. Bobba: He shoots! The goalie missed the catch. Bobba: Goooooal! Time is up. Bobba: Unbelievable! The Aurochs win the match. 3-2! The screen switches to Tidus' group. Tidus: We won! Yuna: We did it! We're in the finals! Lulu: Not the most...graceful win. If it was Chappu, he'd still be standing. Tidus: Hey, aren't you being just a little unfair? Lulu: Excuse me? Tidus: I know I could never take Chappu's place. You're the one who told Wakka that, right, Lulu? And I don't think Wakka could ever try to take Chappu's pl- Lulu: You don't want to finish that sentence. Tidus' group proceeds to the Aurochs' locker room. Meanwhile in the locker room, Wakka is injured from the game. Datto: Sure you're all right, Cap'n? Letty: The game starts in a few minutes. You sure you okay? Jessu: We're playing the Goers, too. Wakka tries to throw the Blitzball, but drops it due to injuries. Tidus' group walks in. Tidus: Miss me? Datto: Lady Yuna! Letty: Are you okay? Yuna: All this because of me. I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Wakka: How can you let some Al Bhed kidnap you? Tidus: Hey, let it go, all right? Wakka: Don't go near Al Bhed anymore, okay? They're trouble. Yuna and Kimahri left. Tidus talks to Wakka. Wakka: The game starts soon. No time for warm-ups. Ready? Tidus: Lemme at 'em. Wakka: All right! (to the Aurochs) I got something to tell you boys. After this game... I'm retiring. I promised myself this would be my last tournament. Win or lose, I'm quitting blitzball. But you know... Since we're here, we might as well win! Aurochs: Yeah! Botta: A-Am I on the bench? Wakka: (to Tidus) I'm warming the bench. He's taking my place. All right, boys, let's win this one! Let's make the Goers goners! Tidus: Let's blitz! Everyone raised their arm to know that they will win. Later, Lulu talks to Wakka. Lulu: I saw you floating there, on the sphere. Wakka: Hey, you weren't supposed to see that. Wakka fainted and Lulu caught him before he fell to the ground. Lulu: You really gave it your all, didn't you? Later... Tidus: All right, boys, what're we gonna do? Aurochs: Win! Botta: For Cap'n Wakka! Tidus and the Aurochs proceed to the sphere pool. The screen switches to Lulu and Wakka. Bobba: This is it, folks! In just a few minutes, the championship game! Wakka saw the writing on the wall, which translate to "My best memories are here. Wakka, Captain of the Aurochs." The screen switches to the sphere pool area. Bobba: But who could have imagined... A championship game between these two teams? Our legendary Luca Goers going against...the horrendously ill-fated Besaid Aurochs! Jimma: This looks like history in the making, Bobba. We see Auron watching the game. In the sphere pool, The Aurochs and the Goers arrived. Bobba: They're already going at it, folks! The Goers are taunting the Aurochs! The game begins. After halftime, the Luca Goers are leading. The Besaid Aurochs' fans are calling for Wakka. Bobba: Everyone seems to be calling for Wakka, folks! Tidus saw that and swims out of the sphere pool. Bobba: Say... Where is that player going? He's leaving the sphere pool! He may be injured! Tidus goes back to the locker room and asked Wakka to take his place. Tidus: (narrating) To be honest, I did kind of feel left out, but... It really was the Aurochs' and Wakka's show, after all. Later in the sphere pool... Bobba: I wonder what's happening? The crowd is going wild! Wakka came to help. Bobba: Ah! It's Wakka! He's back on the field and ready to go! The Aurochs seem glad to have him back. The game continues, Wakka was able to score to lead his team. After time is up... Bobba: Unbelievable! The Aurochs win, folks! This is one for the record books! After the game, Wakka is laying in the water after the game. Tidus arrived. Suddenly, Tidus and Wakka encounter Sahagin Chiefs. After defeating all of those monsters, the screen switches to Yuna, Lulu, and Kimahri. Lulu: What's happening? We watch a movie of Auron getting ready to fight against Vouivre. After Auron defeats Vouivre, Tidus and Wakka arrived. Tidus: Auron! Wakka: Sir Auron! Tidus: So, you do know him. Wakka: Yeah. Best guardian there ever was. Tidus, Wakka, and Auron teamed up and fought Garuda. After defeating Garuda, they encountered more enemies. Tidus: Hey, gimme a break! Seymour then summoned an Aeon. We watch a movie of the Aeon attacking the monsters and sending the souls to another dimension. After that, the screen switches to Wakka and the Aurochs. Datto: You're really leavin', Cap'n? Letty: Shouldn't you heal up first? Wakka: Yuna needs me with her now. I can't be lying around in some bed. The Aurochs look down. Datto: Yeah, but... Wakka: Come on, look sharp! The blitz season just started. Don't make those faces, ya? Wakka gave the trophy to one of the Aurochs. Wakka: Well... See you, boys! You be good. Aurochs: Cap'n... Wakka: I can't hear you! Aurochs: Cap'n! The screen switches to Tidus' group without Tidus and Auron. Yuna: Are you sure? Wakka: Never liked long goodbyes anyway. Sorry for making you wait, Yuna. I had some promises to keep, ya? From now on, I'm your full-time guardian. Yuna: Then welcome back, Sir Wakka. Good to have you with us. Wakka: Hey, it's good to be back, ya? (to Lulu) So, any news on what happened? Lulu: Not really. We don't know where the fiends came from. Maester Mika is safe and sound, thanks to Maester Seymour. That's about it. Yuna: Maester Seymour's aeon... It was so powerful. The screen switches to Tidus and Auron and Tidus is pissed off. Tidus: (PO'ed) Hey, you! Don't just stand there! All of this is your fault! Getting' swallowed by Sin! Ending up here in Spira! Not being able to go back to Zanarkand-everything, everything! I'm telling you, it's all your fault! Auron laughs. Later... Tidus: Who are you, anyway? You knew my old man, didn't you? And you also knew Yuna's father? Auron: That's correct. Tidus: Hey, man, there's no way. That's just impossible. Auron: Nothing impossible about it. Jecht, Braska, and I... Together we defeated Sin ten years ago. Then I went to Zanarkand where I watched over you. So that one day I could bring you to Spira. Tidus: Why did it have to be me? Auron: Jecht asked me to. Tidus: Is he alive? Auron: It depends on what you mean by "alive." He is no longer human. But then... I saw something of Jecht there in that shell, couldn't you? You must have felt him when you came in contact with Sin. There was a flash. Tidus: It can't be... Auron: It is. Sin is Jecht. Tidus: (PO'ed) No! That's ridiculous! No way! I don't believe you! Auron: But it is the truth. You'll see for yourself. Come with me. Tidus: If I say no? Auron: Every story must have an ending. Tidus: I don't care about your stories! Auron: I see. Sorry you feel that way. Fine, then. Come or don't come. It's your decision. Tidus: (PO'ed) What am I supposed to say? You tell me it's my decision... But I don't have a choice, do I? You're the only one who can tell me what's going on, anyways! I have to go with you! I have to! Auron: Irritating, I know. Or are you afraid? It's all right. Later... Tidus: Auron? Will I ever go home? Back to Zanarkand? Auron: That's up to Jecht. I'm going to offer my services to Yuna. Come. Tidus follows Auron to his other group. Meanwhile with the other group... Wakka: Do you think he's gonna stay here? Lulu: Sir Auron knows him, apparently. You were right. He did meet someone he knew. Yuna: Do you think he'll find a way back to Zanarkand? Wakka: In any case, I'll miss having him around. Yuna: He's still in town, isn't he? I think I'll go see him... Oh! Tidus and Auron arrived. Wakka: Whoa. Yuna: Sir Auron? Auron: Yuna. Yuna: Sir? Auron: I wish to become your guardian. Do you accept? Wakka: You serious? Auron: You refuse? Yuna: No, no! We accept! Right, everyone? Wakka: O-Of course! No problem at all! Lulu: But...why? Auron: I promised Braska. Yuna: You promised my father? Thank you, Sir Auron! You're welcome to join us! Auron: And...he comes too. Tidus: Hi...guys. Eh...howdy! Auron: This one I promised Jecht. Yuna: Is Sir Jecht alive? Auron: Can't say. Haven't seen him in ten years. Yuna: I...see. Auron: You'll meet eventually. Yuna: Yes, I'm looking forward to it! Auron: (to Lulu) What's our itinerary? Where are we headed? Yuna: Hey! Come with me! Later, Tidus talks to Yuna. Yuna: Hey, watch! Yuna blows a whistle with her fingers. Tidus: Hey, you got pretty good. Yuna: You sound sad. Tidus: Yeah, maybe. Yuna: Wanna scream? Tidus: I really don't think that's gonna help this time. Yuna: You know what? It's embarrassing to say this myself... But summoners and their guardians are kind of like Spira's ray of light. A lot of people in Spira depend on us. I learned to practice smiling when I'm sad, you know? I know it's hard. Tidus: Yeah... I understand. I think. Yuna: Right, now let's see what you can do! Tidus: Huh? Yuna: Come on! Tidus tries to smile, but upon doing so, he feels embarrassed. Tidus: This is weird! Yuna: Next, try laughing out loud! Tidus: What? Yuna: Come on, show me! Tidus starts laughing out loud. Yuna: You probably shouldn't laugh anymore. Tidus and Yuna both laughed out loud. Yuna: Too funny! Tidus: It was your idea! Yuna: Um...thank you. I want my journey to be full of laughter. Tidus: Okay. Yuna: If we should get separated, just whistle. I'll come running. I promise. Tidus: Well, let's go. (to Wakka) What're you looking at? Wakka: We were just worried you guys might've gone crazy! Yuna: Sorry! Well then, alright. Now, we will go to the temple of Djose. And guardians? Don't forget to smile! Tidus' group proceeds to Mi'ihen Highroad. While Tidus' group is moving on... Old Man: Do you know what those ruins are from? Tidus: Some old city? Old Man: Correct. A city most ancient! A terrible testament to Sin's power. I tremble every time I see them. Compared to Sin, humans are mere mudpuppies! Yuna: But I believe humans are the only ones capable of defeating Sin. Old Man: A good reply. I am relieved to hear you say that, m'lady summoner. Where are my manners? I am Maechen, a scholar. At your service, m'lady. I am on a journey, studying the history of our world, Spira, seeking its stories and secrets... My travels have taken me to many places, and I am troubled by what I seen. Fragile smiles on people's faces crumbling at the mere mention of Sin. They are counting on you, m'lady. Give them a reason to rejoice once more. Yuna: I will. Tidus' group moves on. They then saw three Chocobo riders. Female Rider: Lady Summoner, I presume? Yuna: Yes, I am Yuna. Lucil: I am Lucil, captain of the Djose Chocobo Knights. Elma: And I'm Elma. We've been charged to guard the Highroad. Lucil: There have been reports of a large fiend appearing in this area, with a taste for chocobos. Do take care, Summoner Yuna, if you are to rent any chocobos. Yuna: Thank you. We will be careful. Yuna prays. Lucil: Good. We should get back to our rounds. Farewell. Elma: Our prayers are with you. The Chocobo riders left. Tidus: A large fiend... Let's go get him! Auron: Why? Tidus: It's the right thing to do. Auron: It's the right thing to do? Auron laughs. Tidus: What'd I say now? Auron: Jecht said that a lot, too. And every time he said it, it meant trouble for Braska and me. Tidus' group moves on to the next area. They saw a woman and a girl. The woman talks to Yuna. Woman: My Lady Summoner! Girl: You're a summoner? Yuna: Yes. My name is Yuna. Girl: I'm Calli. Yuna: Nice to meet you, Calli. Calli: Lady Yuna, are you going to bring us the Calm? Yuna: Yes, very soon. Calli: Yay! Woman: We're looking forward to another Calm, My Lady Summoner. Yuna: I'll do my best. Woman: And good luck to your guardians as well. The woman and Calli left. Tidus: What's the calm? Lulu: The Calm is a time of peace. It comes after a summoner defeats Sin, and lasts until Sin reappears. Yuna: Sin dies and is reborn. Tidus: I get it! I thought it was weird. Yuna's dad defeated Sin ten years ago, right? But Sin's still here! Didn't make much sense till now. Wait... If it just comes back... Yuna: Don't say it isn't worth it... Because it is. Tidus: (narrating) Even for a little while...people can sleep in their beds without being afraid. That kind of time is worth anything. Don't say it isn't worth it. Your words that day, Yuna-I remember them well. Tidus moves on. Later, they saw a carriage and it moved. Tidus' group saw Luzzu and Gatta. They talk to Luzzu and Gatta. Gatta: Hey, we saw the game! You guys are great! Luzzu: Congratulations, Wakka! Elma: Hey! Stop loafing around! The Chocobo riders appeared. Gatta: Uh... The lady summoner and her guardians... Lucil: This mission requires our full attention. We've no time to waste! Understood? Luzzu: Yes, ma'am! Apologies, ma'am! Lucil: Carry on. The Chocobo riders left. Luzzu: See? Keep your head down, say "sir" a lot, and you'll do fine. Gatta: Right...sir. Luzzu: Hey, Yuna. Even though Yevon rejected us...we still believe in you. That won't ever change. Yuna: Thank you, Sir Luzzu, Sir Gatta. But, you know... It's not too late for you to go back to Besaid, and... Gatta: We should be going, sir! Tidus' group moves on. Later, they heard the guard talking to a disciple. Guard: We'll defeat Sin any way we can! Disciple: But Yevon's teachings says... Guard: Enough! The guard left. Disciple: I-I only meant to... Yuna: Are you all right? Disciple: Lady Summoner...? Yuna: Yes, I am Yuna. Disciple: It is an honor, my lady. My name is Shelinda. I am a disciple of Yevon. Wakka: What was all that about? The Crusaders' operation? Tidus: You mean the one Gatta and Luzzu were talking about? Shelinda: I heard they were to use forbidden machina! I had to stop them. Tidus: Huh? Why? Lulu: The use of machina is strictly forbidden by the Yevon priesthood. Wakka: That's bad, ya? Auron: Let them use whatever they want. They still won't defeat Sin. Shelinda: But, it's not about defeating Sin! The teachings of Yevon must be upheld! Wakka: Yeah! Right! Shelinda: But you don't understand! The Crusaders won't even listen to me. And it's all because I'm just a lowly acolyte. Yuna: Don't say that. Well, I haven't been a summoner for very long myself, you see. Still, I can't put myself down every time I fail. People are depending on me. They're depending on both of us! Shelinda: Yes! Yes, you're right, my lady. Absolutely right! Thank you so much, Lady Yuna! Now I feel I have the courage to finish my training. Tidus' group moves on and they eventually stop at the Al Bhed shop. Auron: We rest here. Wakka: But, this is an Al Bhed shop! Auron: Is that a problem? Wakka: They don't believe in Yevon, and in Luca they... They kidnapped Yuna! Auron: Where were her guardians? Yuna: (to Wakka) Sir Auron's just concerned about your health. Wakka: I'm not tired one bit! Auron: Well I am. Tidus' group rest. During the evening... Tidus: As if I could sleep! Tidus goes outside. Tidus: (saw the sunset) Whoa! Check it out! (to himself) That sunset was different from the one I saw in Kilika. It was quiet-almost gentle. Tidus talks to Yuna. Tidus: Whatcha up to? Yuna: Pretty... Tidus: Sure is. Yuna: I wish I could live in a place like this. Peaceful... Living with a smile on my face every day. Tidus: You can, once you beat Sin, right? Yuna: But then a new Sin will be born anyway. Tidus: Well then, you can beat it again. Yuna: I wish I could. Tidus: Hey, you can! Trust me! You are the best summoner out there! Yuna, why does Sin always come back? Yuna: Sin is our punishment for our vanity. And it will not go away until we've atoned. Tidus: How do we do that? What did we do that was so bad in the first place? Was it using lots of machina or something? Oh... Wait, was that such a bad thing, really? Yuna: It's funny... Ever since I was young, I never questioned it. But now that you ask me if it is that bad or not...I don't know. There are so many things I don't know. Tidus: Well then, we're the same! (sounding like Mika) Such thinking is very unbecoming of a summoner! Sound like Mika? Tidus and Yuna both giggled. Yuna: That's not very nice, you know! Later on... Tidus: You know... During a game, you have to think of blitz and nothing else, you know? Yuna: Okay. Tidus: You can't think, "That's a cute girl in the fifth seat from the right." And you can't be thinking about where you're going to go on that date, because the minute you do, that's when you lose! You see, uh, Yuna, what I mean is, you really shouldn't worry, you know? After we beat Sin, that's when you can worry about the future. Yuna: I guess. Tidus: But, Yuna, how are you supposed to beat something big like that? Yuna: The Final Summoning. It's the only way to defeat Sin. The only way. With it, we can call the Final Aeon. That's the goal of the pilgrimage. The Fayth of the Final Summoning lies waiting in the far north, to greet summoners that complete their pilgrimage. At the world's edge...in Zanarkand. Tidus: In Zanarkand? Auron: She means the ruins of a city destroyed a thousand years ago. Tidus: You sure it's ruins? Yuna: That's what I've heard. Auron: You'll see it for yourself soon enough. Yuna, come back inside. Auron left the scene. Yuna: You will go with us...to Zanarkand? Tidus: Yeah, I'll go. I'll go to Zanarkand to see it with my own eyes. (to himself) I knew it couldn't be my Zanarkand. But I had to make sure. The next morning, just when Tidus is about to go outside, the owner came in. Owner: Bentuh sa. (Pardon me.) Tidus: Sorry? Owner: Ah, forgive me, sir. I meant to say "pardon me," but it came out in Al Bhed. Tidus: Oh, you're an Al Bhed? Owner: I am Rin, owner of this establishment. Heci du saad oui. (Nice to meet you.) Tidus doesn't understand. Rin: It means, "nice to meet you." Tidus: Well helly doo sad wee to you, too. Rin: If you are interested...Al Bhed primers can be found all over Spira. Finding them and learning our language might be fun. Here, let me give you one in commemoration of our meeting. Although you might want to be careful where you speak our language. Rin gave Tidus, Al Bhed Primer Vol. VIII. Tidus: Yeah, I hear Al Bhed aren't liked much. Rin looked puzzled. Tidus: Oh, sorry! Rin: Ed ec y chesa. (It is a shame.) Woman: Ahh! Someone, help! The chocobos! Auron: (to Tidus) That's our cue, let's go. Rin: Oh. Thank you for your help. Please, use this. Rin gave Tidus, 2 Mega-Potions. Tidus goes outside and met up with his group. Lulu: To the chocobo corral! After arriving at the Chocobo corral, Tidus' group saw the Chocobo Eater grabbing the Chocobos. The Chocobos freed themselves and got away. Tidus' group fights Chocobo Eater. After defeating the Chocobo Eater... Rin: (to Tidus' group) Have you an interest in renting some chocobos? As a token of our gratitude, the first time is free of charge. Please ask the attendant, if you wish to rent. Woman: Thank you so much for saving the chocobos! Tidus' group rents a Chocobo for free and they arrived at the entrance to the Mushroom Rock. Tidus' group gets off their Chocobo. Tidus heard Dona talking with a guard. Dona: How many times do I have to tell you? I'm a summoner! Guard: Sorry, ma'am! No exceptions! Dona: You dare impede a summoner's pilgrimage? Guard: Sorry, ma'am! No exceptions! Dona: Useless! Tidus' group talks to Dona. Dona Oh, it's you. As you can see, not even summoners can pass. But they'll call on us in the end. Just wait and see. In the meantime, I think I'll have a nap. Oh, Barthello? Dona and Barthello left. Tidus' group moves on. They saw the carriage with Luzzu and Gatta. Gatta: (to the guard) Gatta and Luzzu reporting, sir! Luzzu: This is the last of them. Guard: Good to have you with us. Go on through! Tidus saw a monster inside the carriage. Gatta: (to Tidus) Show me how to play blitz sometime! Luzzu: Wait around. We'll have Sin beaten in no time! Gatta and Luzzu left with the carriage. Tidus' group tries to pass, but the guard stopped them. Guard: I'm sorry. I can't let you pass. Hey, you're a summoner and her guardians right? Sorry for the inconvenience. Tidus: Tell me about the operation. Guard: What, they didn't tell you? We're bringing sinspawn from all over Spira here. Sinspawn inevitably draw Sin, right? We're going to lure it into a trap! Later, Seymour showed up at the scene. Yuna and Seymour prayed. Seymour: So we meet again, Lady Yuna. Yuna: Y-Yes? Seymour: You look troubled. Is there anything I can do? Yuna: Well... Seymour: I see. Guard: Maester Seymour. Let me show you to the command center. Seymour: Hold, I have a request. Guard: Yes, Your Grace? Seymour: I need to have Summoner Yuna and her guardians let through to the command center. Guard: But, Maester Seymour, sir. Seymour: Do not worry, I will take full responsibility. Guard: Very well. They may pass. Seymour: (to Yuna) It is done. Yuna: Thank you. Your Grace. Seymour left. Lulu: Yuna, it's time to go. Yuna: Oh! Right! Yuna and Lulu move on. Tidus: Who does he think he is? Wakka: He's a maester. Better get used to it, ya? Tidus' group moves on to the Mushroom Rock. At that area... Guard: All hail Maester Seymour! Seymour appeared. Seymour: Brave Crusaders of Spira, protectors of all Spira. Believe in the path you have chosen, let faith be your strength! I, Seymour Guado, maester of Yevon, will bear your witness to your deeds today. People: Sir! Wakka: What's going on? Why's Maester Seymour backing the Crusaders, eh? They're using the Al Bhed's machina! They're violating the teachings! Yuna: Even going against the teachings they're willing to risk it for the greater good. Wakka, I think Maester Seymour sees that, too. Wakka: Lulu? Lulu: Hmm... I can only speculate. Auron: Ask him yourself. Seymour talks to Auron. Seymour: Ah, Sir Auron. It is an honor. I would be most interested in hearing what you've been doing these past ten years. Auron: I've got nothing to say about it. Auron left. Seymour: I...see. Sir Auron must be a great asset as a guardian. Yuna: Your Grace! Seymour: Please, there's no need for formalities. Wakka: Excuse me... Maester Seymour? Why is your Lordship...presently...present here...sir? Seymour: Please, speak as you normally would. Wakka: Uh. Isn't this operation again the teachings of Yevon? Aren't you gonna stop them? Seymour: It's true... I should. However... Both the Crusaders and the Al Bhed truly wish peace for Spira. This Operation Mi'ihen was born from that wish they share. Although it may be sacrilege to Yevon, their intentions are pure. And I, Seymour Guado-the person, not the maester of Yevon... As a denizen of Spira, I wish them well in their endeavor. Wakka: But, using machina... That's bad, isn't it? Seymour: Pretend you didn't see them. Wakka: Beg your pardon, but that's not something a maester should say! Seymour: Then, pretend I didn't say it. Wakka: You're kidding! Tidus: (narrating) From the first time I laid eyes on him, I never did like Seymour... But you know, some of the things he said that day... They made a lot of sense to me. Tidus' group moves on. Then, a man in armor appeared. Clasko: Excuse me, Lady Summoner Yuna? Yuna: Yes? Clasko: The command center... Maester Seymour requests your presence there, ma'am. Yuna: Thank you. Clasko: Take that road to the command center. It's not far. We're still in the midst of preparations this way. Sorry. Tidus' group moves on. They take the platform up and they saw Gatta and Luzzu. Gatta: Why only you, sir? I want to fight, too! Luzzu: Orders and orders. Gatta: I'm not a cadet anymore, sir! Let me go with you, and I'll prove it to them! Luzzu: Guarding the command center is important too, you know. Gatta: But I came all the way from Besaid to fight Sin, sir! Luzzu: I know, but an order's an order. To your post, Crusader. Gatta: But, sir! Gatta got angry and went back to his post. Tidus' group talks to Luzzu. Luzzu: They let you through, huh? Tidus: Gatta deserves better... Wakka: At least there's no chance he'll get hurt. (to Luzzu) Why are you guys fighting, anyway? Aren't the almighty Al Bhed machina enough? Luzzu: They still need some time to get them ready. Our job is to keep Sin at bay till they're done. Wakka got frustrated. Luzzu: Wakka... I might not get another chance to say this. It's about your brother. Lulu: Luzzu, no! Wakka: What? Luzzu: I'm the one who convinced him...to enlist. Wakka and Lulu sighs in shock. Luzzu: I'm sorry. Wakka got really furious and punched Luzzu in the face, knocking him down. Tidus restrains Wakka. Tidus: Wakka! That's enough, Wakka! A little later... Wakka: When we used to play blitz together, Chappu used to say... He'd say that-when we won the Cup, ya?-he'd propose to Lulu. And then one day… goes off and becomes a Crusader. Just like that. Luzzu gets up. Luzzu: Chappu also said to me... That being with your girl is good... But keeping Sin far away from her is better. Wakka: Lu, you knew? Lulu: Luzzu told me...before we left. Luzzu: She hit me, too. Lucil on her Chocobo appeared. Lucil: All Crusaders in the vanguard are to assemble on the beach! Luzzu: That's my cue. Wakka: Luzzu! Don't die out there. Luzzu: So you can hit me more? Wakka: Lots! Lots more! Before Luzzu could leave, Yuna blocks his path. Yuna: Sir Luzzu, please! Please, don't go! Luzzu: I have to, Yuna. Auron: (to Yuna) Let him go. The man has already chosen his path... As you did when you became a summoner. Luzzu leaves. Tidus: It would be a long time...before I ever really understood the reason why Yuna let Luzzu pass that day. Tidus' group takes the platform up. Before they enter the Command Center, they saw cannons. Wakka: Curse these...! Wakka kicks the cannon, but he hurt himself. Tidus: He really hates them, huh? Lulu: Chappu... he left the sword Wakka gave him in Besaid. And he fought with an Al Bhed machina weapon instead. Wakka: (recovered) That's got nothing to do with it! I just hate these sacrilegious contraptions! Tidus' group proceeds to the Command Center. In there, Tidus' group saw Sinspawns coming out and brought to Sinspawn Gui. Wakka: It won't work anyway. Yuna: Don't say that. It might be a hopeless campaign, and it might mean defying Yevon... But the Crusaders and the Al Bhed-they're doing their best to defeat Sin. They want to rid Spira of Sin forever. And that's just what we want, too, isn't it? Isn't it? Wakka: Hmph! All right, all right! But I still think machina are bad news. They're forbidden for a reason! Lucil appeared. Lucil: Lady Summoner! There you are! The command center is that way. Maester Kinoc is also there. Yuna: Maester Kinoc, too? Lucil: Yes. Please hurry, my lady. Tidus' group moves on and they saw Gatta. Gatta: The operation will begin shortly. Please check all your equipment. Wakka: Um, you all right? Gatta: Of course not! I came here to fight Sin! But they stick me here! Auron: If you want to prove yourself... Gatta: Huh? Auron: First you must complete the tasks you are given. Tidus’ group talks to Gatta. Read this part when you choose the top selection of what Gatta should do and then follow the next part if Gatta's fate if he survives or not after the tragic aftermath. Gatta: Just doing what they say? It just won't be enough. PATH 1 If you choose, "Yeah, you should be put on the front lines." Gatta: That's right! It's not fair! Tidus talks to Gatta again. Gatta: I'll do something...even if it means bending the rules. Tidus: Yeah, you should be put on the front lines. Gatta: That's right! It's not fair! Tidus talks to Gatta again. Gatta: I've got to show Luzzu what I can do. PATH 2 If you choose, "Guarding the command center is important, too." Gatta: You'd think the same if you were me. Tidus talks to Gatta again. Gatta: I'll do something...even if it means bending the rules. Tidus: Guarding the command center is important, too. Gatta: I gotta go show Luzzu what I can do. ONCE THE DECISION IS MADE, CONTINUE THE SCRIPT Tidus' group moves on. They saw a maester. Maester: I'd heard from Seymour, but I didn't know if we'd actually meet. Good to see you, Auron! Ten years, isn't it? Lulu: (to Tidus) That's Wen Kinoc, one of the Four Maesters of Yevon. He leads the warrior monks and also commands the Crusaders. Gatta appeared. Gatta: All troops ready to move at your command, sir! Kinoc: Good. Dismissed. Gatta: Sir! Kinoc: Tell me, Auron. Where have you been to last ten years? Auron: We don't have time for this now, do we? Kinoc: This plan won't work, you know that. We'll just let them dream a little longer. Tidus: What? Seymour appeared. Seymour: Lord Kinoc... Kinoc: Oh, yes. Proceed. Auron: That Kinoc, a maester? Kinoc: I heard that, Auron. A lot has happened the last ten years. What were you doing, and where? Auron: Fulfilling a promise I made to a friend. I still am. Kinoc: Just tell me one thing: Have you seen Zanarkand? A little later... Yuna: I kinda...think we don't belong here. Guard: It is time at last. We must tell the Al Bhed waiting outside to begin the operation at once. The fiends may break through. This place is not safe. Make sure you're prepared to defend yourselves. Tell me when you're ready. Tidus' group prepares themselves and then they talk to the guard. Guard: Are you ready? Tidus: Yes. Guard: Maester Kinoc. Please. Yuna: Will Sin come? Guard: Sin always returns for its spawn. To make sure, we're going to encourage them to call out to it. Auron: You won't have to. It'll come. Tidus: (narrating) I remembered Auron telling me. Sin is my old man. Sin is Jecht. Suddenly, Sinspawn Gui got out of the cage. Tidus' group fights Sinspawn Gui. After the fight, we watch a movie of Sin coming out. Lucil: Let's go! The cannon operators are readying their fire. Cannon Operator: Fire! The cannon hit Sin, but it got deflected and became monsters. Lucil: Charge! Lucil and the Chocobo riders get ready to fight. The screen switches to Tidus' group. Auron: Look out! We watch a movie of Sin's force field, wiping out the area along with some fighters. Later, Yuna got up and only saw Auron and Seymour. Seymour: Stand back, Lady Yuna. Yuna: Y-Yes. Yuna, Auron, and Seymour fights Sinspawn Gui. After defeating Sinspawn Gui... Yuna: The others? We watch a movie of the Al Bhed's ship firing their lightning beam at Sin. Sin's force field is too strong for the cannon. The force field created a penetration beam and destroyed the Al Bhed ship. Later after the tragedy, Tidus woke up on the beach scattered with casualties. PATH 1-READ THIS IF GATTA DIED Tidus saw Gatta sitting next to a cliff dead. Tidus: Gatta? Gatta, come on, wake up. Gatta falls to the side knowing that he is already dead. Tidus feels extremely upset. PATH 2-READ THIS IF GATTA SURVIVED Tidus saw Gatta kneeling in fear. Gatta: What's...going on? Why? What? (raising his voice) What's going on!? CONTINUE WITH THE SCRIPT We watch a movie of Sin getting away. Tidus: (PO'ed) Don't you run away from me! Tidus dives and goes after Sin. The screen switches to Yuna. Yuna: Everyone, stand back! I'll summon! Seymour: You won't hurt it. Your powers are still...too weak. Yuna: But I must do something! Yuna readies her rod. Seymour: You can't! Yuna stops. The screen switches to Tidus who is furiously swimming after Sin. However, Sin got away with murder. Tidus stops the chase. Tidus: (narrating) I have no idea what I was thinking when I ran after Sin that day. But before I knew what I was doing, there I was chasing him down like a thief at market. Maybe I was angry, maybe I wanted to go home. I kept thinking of Zanarkand, and my old man. PATH 1-READ THIS IF GATTA DIED In Tidus' flashback, Gatta appeared and then walked away. The hooded character appeared, then the Blitzball hitting the screen. PATH 2-READ THIS IF GATTA SURVIVED In Tidus' flashback, Luzzu appeared and then walked away. The hooded character appeared, then the Blitzball hitting the screen. CONTINUE WITH THE SCRIPT The screen switches to the dock of Zanarkand. Jecht: What? Young Tidus: They say you don't practice anymore, that you're gonna retire. Jecht: Let them talk. I'm still the best. Young Tidus: They say you're no good 'cause you drink all the time. Jecht: I can quit drinkin' whenever I want! Young Tidus: Then do it now. Jecht: What did you say? Young Tidus: You just said you can! Jecht: Heh. Tomorrow, maybe. Young Tidus: Why not today? Jecht: Why do today what you can leave for tomorrow? There he goes again...crying! The flashback ended. Tidus: (narrating) I thought I sensed my old man there. Somewhere... Or maybe it was just Sin's toxin playing tricks on my mind. Tidus woke up on the beach. Tidus: (to himself) How many died today? People die, and Yuna dances. When will she stop dancing? When will it stop? Yuna won't stop dancing-not until Sin is gone. Those were my thoughts then...I think. Auron: (to Tidus) I see you're still here. Tidus: Huh? Auron: Many stories ended here today... But... Yours goes on, I see. Tidus: What? (narrating) Sin had come and gone, but I remained here. Before Tidus' group could move on... Auron: A swift retreat. Satisfied? Kinoc: What do you mean? Auron: Those who turned from Yevon died, while the faithful live on. Kinoc: The past ten years have changed you, I see. Later on, Seymour talks to Yuna. Seymour: You do not look so well. But now more than ever, you must be the people's strength, their confidence. Anyone else would be expected to show their sorrow. But you...are a summoner. You are Spira's hope. Until Sin is defeated, you must not relent. Do you understand? Yuna: Yes. I understand. Seymour: Are you afraid? Yuna, take me as your pillar of strength. As Yunalesca had her lord Zaon. Lady Yuna. Until next we meet, farewell. Seymour left. Tidus talks to Auron. Auron: Sin is Jecht. Tidus: Yeah, for a while there, I thought I could feel him. But that doesn't mean I believe you. Auron: Sin is Jecht. He came here for you. Tidus: So he killed all those people just for a chance to see me? Auron: That's what Sin does. He wanted to show that to you. Do you know why? Tidus: How am I supposed to know? Auron: So you would kill him. As long as he is Sin, Jecht will keep killing. He wants you to stop him. Tidus: You gotta be kidding. How do you know all of this, anyway? Auron walks away. Tidus: I'm not done talking to you! Don't you run away! Auron: You're the one running. Tidus' group moves on. In the next area... Yuna: (to Tidus and Kimahri) Hey, you two! Hurry up! Tidus: She's awfully cheerful. Kimahri: In dark times she must be. She must shine bright. Tidus didn't know that Kimahri was going to talk. Kimahri: Now are dark times. Yuna tries hard. Tidus: We should help her, then. Kimahri: If we worry, she tries harder. Do not frown. Tidus: Don't worry, be happy? Kimahri: Kimahri try, too. Tidus: Smile! Let me see. Kimahri tries to smile. Tidus: Sad? Tidus' group moves on. In the next area... Tidus: Hey! How much longer till Zanarkand? Wakka: Still a ways. Lulu: First down the Moonflow to the Guado city of Guadosalam... Then we cross the Thunder Plains to the temple of Macalania. Tidus: Oh, boy. Yuna: And before that, we get to pray at the temple in Djose! Tidus: We can't just skip all that? Can we, huh? Yuna: I have to pray to the fayth in every temple in order to earn the Final Aeon. Wakka: That's a summoner's training. She's gotta prepare mind and body, all just to get ready for the Final Summoning. Tidus: Must be tough, Yuna. Yuna: I'll be fine with you here! Before Tidus could move on... Auron: Hey new guy. Tidus: Uh...me? Auron: Who else? Tidus: What can I do for you, boss? Auron: Don't tell Yuna you know about Sin and Jecht. You know her... She would...distance herself from you. We do not want that. Tidus: I see, I think. Yeah, but even if I did say something, no one would believe me, you know? Auron: Yuna would. Tidus: Ah...you have a point. Come to think of it...did I really have to know about Jecht? What about my feelings? Auron: Better than you finding out at a critical moment, becoming emotional. Tidus: What? Me, emotional? Auron: I heard you were quite a crybaby. Tidus: (narrating) Yeah, maybe when I was a kid. Maybe even a little now. Just a little. (to Auron) Hey! I still don't buy your story, you hear? Tidus' group proceeds to the Djose Temple. There... Tidus: Is that the Djose Temple? After Yuna prayed, the temple was revealed. Tidus: Awesome! Lulu: The Lightning Mushroom Rock. It only opens when a summoner is addressing the fayth. Wakka: That means another summoner's already in there. Yuna: Another summoner? Tidus: What if it's Dona? Yuna: We have to hurry. Tidus: Right! In we go! Tidus' group moves on. PATH 1-READ THIS IF GATTA DIED Tidus' group finds Luzzu standing near the side of the entrance to Djose Temple. Luzzu: Hey. Gatta, he's...he's dead. He was a good fighter. He just wasn't lucky enough. Luzzu got really upset and starts attacking the walls. Luzzu: Ah, damn it! He was young! He pushed his luck! What was he thinking-going up there in the front lines like that? He should've stayed back with command! Damn it! Damn it all! Wakka: Luzzu! Knock it off! Luzzu: (still upset) You don't know what it's like! Luzzu grabs on to Wakka. Wakka: I...do...know! Luzzu lets go of Wakka and starts calming down. Luzzu: I... I'm sorry. Wakka: Why don't you...go home now, to Besaid. Take it easy a while. Rest, ya? Luzzu: Rest? Wakka: You need some R & R. You're hurt, ya? Luzzu: I...I guess so. Wakka: Get better. I can't beat up on you when you're all depressed, ya? Luzzu: Right. PATH 2-READ THIS IF GATTA SURVIVED Tidus' group finds Gatta sitting on the ground. Gatta: Luzzu, he's... Wakka: Where is he? Gatta: I found him...but he was...torn in half, I... Wakka: That...idiot! Gatta: What...what do I do now? I can't do this... I'm going back to Besaid! CONTINUE WITH THE SCRIPT Tidus' group enters the temple. Inside, three people came out. Male Summoner: I beg your pardon, but may I ask your name? Yuna: I am Summoner Yuna, from the isle of Besaid. Male Summoner: As I thought! The daughter of Lord Braska. You have the look of your father. Yuna: My father? You knew him? Male Summoner: No. I have never met the man. Ah, my apologies. I am Isaaru. I am a summoner, like you. Pacce: I'm Pacce. Pleased to meet you. Maroda: And I'm Maroda. I'm guarding my big brother here. Isaaru: Since I was a child, I've always looked up to Lord Braska. I wished I would someday become a high summoner like he was. You must have some of your father's talent in you! I believe you might someday defeat Sin. Yuna: I...I'm not really... I've only just become a summoner. Isaaru: Of course, I've no intention of losing, either. So perhaps we should race to see who can defeat Sin first, no? Yuna: Very well, then. I accept your challenge. Maroda: Isaaru! Isaaru: I, beg your leave! Good luck, to both of us! Yuna: Yes. Before Tidus could go upstairs... Isaaru: Hey, you. Tidus: Me? Isaaru: You are Yuna's guardian, no? Maroda's heard a curious rumor. I thought you should know. Maroda: I heard it from those Crusaders. Seems that summoners have been going out on pilgrimage and just...disappearing. Isaaru: It could be the fiends got them...but not so many so quickly. Maroda: Sorry I don't know more, but...watch your back. Ain't much future for a guardian without a summoner, eh? Pacce: What? What? Whatcha all talkin' 'bout? Maroda: We're talking about doing your job as a guardian! Pacce: Hey, I'm doing good! Right, big brother? Isaaru nodded "yes". Isaaru: (to Tidus) Please, be careful. Tidus: Will do! Pacce is still standing. Isaaru: Pacce! Pacce: Oh... What? Isaaru: We're leaving! Pacce: Be right there! (to Tidus) See ya! Tidus enters the Cloister of Trials. In there... Wakka: All right! Guardians, at attention! Yuna: We are ready. Wakka: All right... Let's do it! After Tidus' group solves the puzzle in the trial, they are at the room of prayers. Suddenly, Dona and Barthello came in. Dona: Well, well. You again. Still traveling with quite the crowd, I see. Barthello approaches Auron. Dona: What is it, Barthello? You know this riffraff? Barthello: (to Auron) You are...Auron, no? Auron: What of it? Barthello: Can...I shake your hand? Auron-no. Sir Auron. You're the reason I became a guardian! Barthello and Auron shook hands. Barthello: Thank you, sir! This means so much to me! Wakka: Calling the personal guardian to Lord Braska riffraff? Lulu: And you call yourself a summoner? Dona: Barthello, enough! Get back here! Tidus: Hand in there, buddy, eh? Later, Yuna came out of the prayer's room. Kimahri caught Yuna before she could hit the ground. Dona: You owe much to your father. All these guardians...and Sir Auron, too? And I heard Maester Seymour's quite taken with you. The world must look different when you're the daughter of Lord Braska. Yuna: This has nothing to do with my father! I am traveling on my own, as a full-fledged summoner! Dona: Oh, is that so? Then try standing on your own two legs for once. Dona approaches Yuna. Dona: Your guardians won't be able to protect you when the time comes. Yuna can now summon Ixion. Tidus' group takes a rest. The next morning, Tidus goes in the temple and saw Yuna resting on a bed. Tidus talks to the woman. Woman: She was working until dawn. Healing the wounded, sending the fallen. Tidus: Okay... I guess I'll just let her sleep for now, then. Yuna woke up. Tidus: Morning! Yuna: What? Morning? Tidus: Don't worry! Yuna: But it's morning! I'm so sorry! I-I'll get ready right away! Just a moment! Yuna moves around fast looking for something. Tidus: Don't worry! It's okay! Later outside... Wakka: Yo! Sleepyhead! Yuna: Sorry! I'm so sorry! (to Auron) Please forgive me. Lulu: Really, there's no rush... here, your hair. Yuna looks puzzled. Wakka: A summoner with bed hair! What's the world comin' to? Yuna: You could have woken me up! Lulu: We called to you, but with all that snoring... Yuna: Hmm...what is it today? Everyone's picking on me! Everyone laughed at Yuna. Auron laughed. Yuna: You too, Sir Auron? Auron: Once Lady Yuna fixes her hair, we leave! Everyone laughed. Tidus: (narrating) I hadn't really laughed like that in a long time. It was only later that I realized... The only one really laughing then...was me. Laughing must have been the only thing keeping them going. Tidus' group moves on. In the next area... Lucil: Off so early? Lady Yuna, you must be exhausted after working so hard last night. Will you be okay? Yuna: I feel that I have rested enough. But, thank you for your kindness! Will you be leaving, too? Lucil: Yes, first we cross the Moonflow, and then we head north in search of chocobos to replace those we have lost. Elma: Once we find chocobos, our Mounted Forces will ride again! Tidus: Huh? Aren't you missing someone? Clasko: Captain! Waaaaait for meee! Clasko appeared. Elma: What took you so long? We're leaving! Clasko: You expect me to keep up with a chocobo!? Lucil: Lady Yuna, I wish you good fortune. Elma! Clasko! Let's go! Elma: Ma'am! Clasko: Eh!? C-Can't I just rest a sec...? Elma: No complaints! Tidus caught up with his party member. In the three road area... Tidus: Where to next? Lulu: We cross the Moonflow. Tidus: Gotcha! Moonflow, baby, here we come! Tidus' group moves on. In the next area, they saw Biran and Yenke. Biran: Look! One of Kimahri's friends. Looks just like him. Tidus: What? Biran: Both follow summoners on all fours! Hornless goatlings! Yenke: Hornless! Hornless! Biran and Yenke both laughed. Kimahri: You come to insult Kimahri? Biran: Wrong. We come to warn little Kimahri. Yenke: Summoners disappear. Never return. Biran: Next will be Kimahri's summoner. Yenke: Poor Kimahri! Lost his horn, next lose his summoner! Biran: Pitiful Kimahri! Howl alone! Howl alone! Biran and Yenke left. Tidus: (to Kimahri) Do those two got something against you? Kimahri nodded "no". Tidus: What, they were just picking on you? Kimahri: Kimahri will deal with them. Tidus: And I'll help! Kimahri: Kimahri alone. Tidus: But... Wakka: It's Kimahri's problem. We can't interfere; it's a rule. Lulu: I'm worried. Wakka: Let the Ronso deal with Ronso problems, ya? That's how it's always been. Lulu: I mean I'm worried about those summoners disappearing. Auron: They aren't just disappearing into thin air. Tidus: Hey, if we guardians do our job...no problem, right? Wakka: Whoa! Lulu: Confident. Tidus: Yeah! Tidus moves on. In the water area... Lulu: This is the Moonflow. Yuna: These are moonlillies! They say that clouds of pyreflies gather here when night falls. Lulu: The entire river glows, like a sea of stars. Tidus: Really? Hey, I got an idea! Auron: We're not waiting till nightfall. Tidus: Then, once we beat Sin, we're coming back! The glowing things are rising up. Wakka: Hey, we better hurry or we'll miss the shoopuf! Tidus: Shoopuf? That some kind of boat? Wakka points to the direction to the dock. Tidus' group proceeds to the dock. In there... Tidus: Whoa, what the...whoa! Wakka: This is a shoopuf. Tidus: Whoa... Let's ride! Come on, let's go! Wakka: All right! We board soon as we're ready, ya? Tidus later saw Lucil, Elma, and Clasko. Driver: Noo, I don shink sho. Ish bad idea, yesh. Lucil: Please, we beg of you! Driver: Imposhibibble! Imposhibibble! Tidus: (to Elma) What's wrong? Elma: This guy won't let our chocobo on the shoopuf! Tidus: Ah. It is kinda big. Elma: It's just not fair! Clasko: He does have a point, though. Elma: So, what? We just leave him behind? Clasko: Hey, I didn't say that. Just... Lucil: It is no good. We will have to find another way. We will find a ford where we can cross on foot. Elma: Yes, Captain, sir! Clasko: But...that'll take days! Lucil: Where there's a will, there's a way. Clasko: Oh, boy... Elma: That's our captain! Lucil, Elma, and Clasko left the scene. Tidus: (narrating) Where there's a will, there's a way. Those words stayed with me. I wonder how Captain Lucil is doing. Tidus talks to the driver. Driver: Ride ze shoopuf? Tidus: I'm ready! Let me on! Driver: Al aboards! Tidus' group got on the shoopuf. Driver: Shoopuf launchin'! The shoopuf is moving on to the north area. Wakka: Hey. Take a look. Tidus: What? (looking at the water) Whoa! Tidus saw a sunken city. Tidus: A sunken city! Wakka: A machina city-a thousand years old! They built a city on top of bridges across the river. Lulu: But the weight of the city caused the bridges to collapse, and it all sank to the bottom. Wakka: Right. It's a good lesson. Tidus: A lesson? Wakka: Yeah. Why build a city over a river, ya? Tidus: Uh... Well, it would be convenient, with all that water there. Wakka: Nope, that's not why. They just wanted to prove they could defy the laws of nature! Tidus: Hmmm? I'm not sure about that. Wakka: Yevon has taught us: When humans have power, they seek to use it. If you don't stop them, they go too far, ya? The screen switches to Tidus' group. Tidus: Yeah, but don't you use machina, too? Like the stadium and stuff, right? Lulu: Yevon, it decides...which machina we may use, and which we may not. Tidus: So what kind of machina may we not use, then? Wakka: Remember Operation Mi'ihen? That kind. Lulu: Or war will rage again. Tidus: War? Yuna: More than a thousand years ago... Mankind waged war using machina to kill! Wakka: They kept building more and more powerful machina. Lulu: They made weapons so powerful... It was thought they would destroy the entire world. Yuna: The people feared that Spira would be destroyed. Wakka: But the war did not stop! Tidus: Wh-What happened then? Yuna: Sin came, and it destroyed the cities and their machina. Lulu: The war ended...and our reward...was Sin. Wakka: So, Sin's our punishment for lettin' things get out of hand, eh? Tidus: Man, that's rough. Wakka: Yeah, it is. But, it's not like the machina are bad. Lulu: Only as bad as their users. Wakka: It's because of people like the Al Bhed screwin' everything up! Suddenly, they felt a shaking from the water. Driver: Whatsh could thatsh be? Tidus' group felt another shaking. Auron: Sit down! Yuna: S-Sorry! Suddenly, an Al Bhed grabbed Yuna and took her into water. Wakka: The Al Bhed! Tidus and Wakka jumps into the water. In the water... Wakka: Yuna, we'll save you! Tidus and Wakka fight Extractor. After destroying Extractor, Yuna is freed. Later, everyone is back in the shoopuf. Lulu: (to Yuna) Are you hurt? Yuna: No, I'm fine. Wakka: Grrah! Those Al Bhed! Driver: Ish ebullibody okay? Yuna: I'm sorry! We're all okay now! Auron: Yuna! Driver: Shoopuf fill shpeed aheads! Later... Wakka: Damn the Al Bhed! What do they want from us? Could it have something to do with Luca? What are they after Yuna for? Wait! They're mad they lost the tournament! Or, wait! They're mad about Operation Mi'ihen! Lulu: I wonder... Didn't Kimahri's clansman say something...about summoners...disappearing? Wakka: Ah! So the Al Bhed are behind that! Those sand-blasted grease monkeys! There was a pause after the conversation. Tidus: Hey, Wakka. It's no use complaining about the Al Bhed now, right? We'll protect Yuna from anyone, anywhere. It's that easy. That's all I need to know! Wakka: Well... I guess so. Lulu: You're right. Yuna: Thank you. The shoopuf docked at the north area. Tidus' group moves on. Tidus found someone familiar on the ground. It's Rikku. Tidus: You're...not dead? We watch a movie of Rikku taking off her wetsuit, helmet, and goggles. Rikku: Thought I was done for, back there. Tidus: Rikku! You're Rikku! Hey! You're okay! How you been? Rikku: Terrible! Tidus: Yeah, you don't look so good. What happened? Rikku: You beat me up, remember? Tidus: Oh! That machina... That was you? Rikku: That really hurt, you know. You big meanie! Tidus: W-Wait! But you attacked us! Rikku: Nuh-uh. It's not exactly what you think. Wakka: Yo! Tidus' other group showed up. Wakka: Friend of yours? Tidus: Uh, you could say that. Rikku: Pleased to meet you! I'm Rikku! Tidus: Yuna, Lulu...I told you about her, remember? She was the one who helped me before I was washed up on Besaid! She's an Al Bhe...beh... Lulu and Yuna looked puzzled. Wakka: Wow, so you, like owe her your life! What luck meeting here, ya? Praise to be Yevon! (to Rikku) So, uh... Rikku... You look a little beat up! You okay? Lulu: Uh, Wakka... Wakka: Huh? What? Yuna: There's something we need to discuss. Wakka: Oh, go ahead. Rikku: Girls only Boys please wait over there! Lulu: Right. Sorry, Wakka. Later, after Rikku talks with Yuna and Lulu. Yuna: Sir Auron... I would like Rikku to be my guardian. Rikku hides her face from Auron. Auron: Show me your face. Look at me. Rikku: Oh, okay. Auron: Open your eyes. Rikku opens her left eye and her left eye has a swirl in the pupil. Auron: As I thought. Rikku: Um... No good? Auron: Are you certain? Rikku: A hundred percent! So, anyway... Can I? Auron: If Yuna wishes it. Yuna: Yes, I do. Tidus: Rikku's a good girl. She helped me a bunch! Wakka: Well, I'm for it! The more, the merrier! Rikku: Right on! Then I'll just have to be the merriest. Tidus: (narrating) It was strange. Even though Wakka had always hated the Al Bhed... Rikku: Rikku, at your service! Tidus: (narrating) He never realized Rikku was one of them. Tidus' group moves on. In Guadosalam... Guado: We have been expecting you, Lady Yuna. Welcome to Guadosalam. This way, my lady. This way. Wakka stopped the Guado to hold Yuna's hand. Wakka: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Tromell: Oh, I beg your pardon, I am called Tromell Guado. I am in the direct service of our leader, the great Seymour Guado. Lord Seymour has very important business with Lady Yuna. Yuna: Business with me? Whatever could it be, I wonder? Tromell: Please, come inside the manor. All will be explained. Of course, your friends are also welcome. Tidus' other group proceeds forward. Rikku: Twist our arms, why don't ya? Ah, almost forgot! Rikku taught Tidus how to customize equipment. After that... Rikku: What would you do without me? Tidus caught up with his group. While waiting to go into the banquet room... Tromell: This way, please. Inside the banquet room... Tromell: I will go inform Lord Seymour. Please wait here. Tidus talks to Lulu. Lulu: There's no temple here in Guadosalam, see? Summoners usually just pass through on their way elsewhere. Tidus laughs. Lulu: What? Tidus: I didn't even ask a question and you're explaining things. Lulu: You'd rather I say nothing, then? Tidus: No, no! Maybe you finally believe I don't know anything about Spira. And maybe that means you believe me about Zanarkand, too? Lulu: Well... There are many things I do not know. Your Zanarkand is one of those things. I suppose I can't say what I think either way. Still, be careful. You shouldn't tell other people. Tidus: Yeah, I know. Tidus talks to Wakka. Wakka: I get the feeling he called us up here for more than just dinner. Tidus talks to Auron. Auron: Stay on your guard. Tidus: Why? This guy's just a priest, right? Auron: Those with power use that power. Maesters have power. Tidus: Wait... You sure you don't have something against Yevon? Auron: I lived a long time in Zanarkand. Tidus talks to Kimahri. Kimahri: Kimahri not like Maester Seymour. Yuna: Aa! Shhh! Tidus talks to Rikku. Rikku: (eating a fruit) Mmmm! This is good! Tidus talks to Yuna. Yuna: What could it be? Later, Tromell appeared. Tromell: Truly, it is good to have guest again. Since Lord Jyscal passed away, these halls have been too quiet. Yuna: The death of Lord Jyscal was a great loss for all of Spira. Tidus: (to Wakka) Was this Maester Jyscal really such a great guy? Wakka: He brought the teachings of Yevon to the Guado. He was truly a great man. Tromell: Truly, a loss for us all. But now a new leader, Lord Seymour, has come before us. Lord Seymour is the child of a Guado and a human. He will be the tie that binds our two races together. But that is not all, I think. Lord Seymour... He will surely become the shining star that lights the way for all the peoples of Spira. Seymour appeared. Seymour: That is enough, Tromell. Must I always endure such praise? (to Tidus' group) Welcome! Yuna: You...wanted to see me? Seymour: Please, make yourselves at home. There's no rush. Auron: Please, keep this short. Yuna must rush. Seymour: Pardon me. It has been a long time since I had guests. Lady Yuna, this way. We watch a movie of Yuna seeing the room showing an image of Zanarkand. Seymour: This sphere is a reconstruction created from the thoughts of the dead that wander the Farplane. Another view shows the people walking around in Zanarkand. Tidus: Zanarkand! Seymour: Correct, Zanarkand...as it looked one thousand years ago. The great and wondrous machina city, Zanarkand. She once lived in this metropolis. Yuna: She, who? Later, an image of a sexy woman appeared. Yuna: Lady Yunalesca! Seymour: She was the first person to defeat Sin and save the world from its ravages. And you have inherited her name. Yuna: It was my father who named me. Seymour: Lord Braska was entrusting you with a great task. He wanted you to face Sin, as Lady Yunalesca did. However, Lady Yunalesca did not save the world alone. To defeat the undefeatable Sin...it took an unbreakable bond of love-of the kind that binds two hearts for eternity. An image of a man appeared and he embraced Yunalesca. The screen shows a flash and then Seymour whispered something to Yuna. Yuna then felt odd and found a glass of water to drink. Rikku: Wow! Your face is beet red! Tidus: You okay? Yuna: He...he asked me to marry him! Tidus: You serious? Auron: You know what Yuna must do. Seymour: Of course. Lady Yuna-no, all summoners-are charged with bringing peace to Spira. But this means more than just defeating Sin. She must ease the suffering of all Spira. She must be a leader for the people. I proposed to Lady Yuna as a maester of Yevon. Auron: Spira is no playhouse. A moment's diversion may amuse an audience, but it changes nothing. Seymour: Even so, the actors must play their parts. (to Yuna) There's no need to answer right away. Please, think it over. Auron: We will do so, then. We leave. Seymour: Lady Yuna. I await your favorable reply. (to Auron) Why are you still here, sir? Auron looks at Seymour, puzzled. Seymour: I beg your pardon. We Guado are keen to the scent of the Farplane. Tidus sniffs Auron, but Auron shoves Tidus off of him. Later, Tidus catches up with the group. Lulu: Yuna, the high summoner's daughter, Seymour, the leader of the Guado. Married in the name of Yevon, overcoming the barriers of race. It would give Spira something cheery to talk about, for a change. Wakka: Sounds just like a passin' daydream, like Auron says. Tidus: Come on, let's just get on with the pilgrimage! I mean, marriage? Rikku: Hmmm. Jealous? Tidus: What? No way! We gotta defeat Sin. Romance can wait! Wakka: He sure picked a fine time to lay this one on us. Yuna: Maybe it is a fine time. Tidus: You serious? Yuna: If my getting married would help Spira...if it would make people happy... If I could do that for people...maybe I should do what I can. I never imagined doing anything like this. But, I won't answer till I know what's right. Tidus: Seriously? Rikku: You could always just quit your pilgrimage and get married. Yuna: I will...go on. I'm sure Lord Seymour will understand. Rikku: Umm, I guess so... Yuna: I am a summoner! I must fight and defeat Sin. Auron: Like Braska before you. Tidus: (narrating) I had to stop myself from shouting: What's there to think about? Yuna: I'm going to the Farplane. I'm going to see my father and think on this. Lulu: Go on, we'll be right behind you. Tidus: (narrating) I wondered why none of the others ever asked Yuna. Do you love Seymour? Do you even like him? Tidus' group proceeds to the Farplane. Near the entrance to the Farplane... Tidus: Question! About this Farplane... When somebody dies, a summoner sends them to the Farplane, right? So their souls, or whatever they are, they go to the Farplane, right? But that's the Farplane we're going to, right? And Yuna's old man's there, too? Do, dead people live there or something? The screen shows ghouls rising up near Tidus in the dark screen. The screen switches back to the entrance to the Farplane. Wakka: You're thinking those funny thoughts again, ya? You'll see once we get there. Before Tidus moves on, he saw Auron sitting. Tidus: Aren't you coming? Auron: I do not belong there. Tidus: You're scared! Auron: Searching the past to find the future... This is all that is there. I need it not... You'd better be going. Rikku appeared. Rikku: You're not really going to see the dead, more like your memories of them. People think of their relatives, and the pyreflies react to them. They take on the form of the dead person-an illusion, nothing else. Tidus: Hmm... Rikku: Well, have fun! Tidus: What, you're not going either, Rikku? Rikku: I keep my memories inside. Tidus: Huh? Rikku: Memories are nice, but that's all they are. Rikku sits down. Tidus proceeds to the Farplane. In the Farplane... Tidus: What the...? We watch a movie of the view of the Farplane. Tidus: (narrating) The Farplane was cool, but I couldn't stop think
