Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy X

(This story, as I have mentioned in the summary is a re-write of the video game. So the story is a bit different and some of the characters are rather different as well.)

Tidus: Still a blonde Blitzball player ( but 18 years old, if he wasn't already) , and people actually will get to say his name in this!

Yuna: Still the 17 year old summoner she's always been. But she's got more of her X-2 personality, still with hints of her old self.

Wakka: Well, since Wakka wasn't too bad of a character in personality he's pretty much the same (same age and personality.), like at first he's against the Al Bhed and their religion, because he's been raised with the Yevon teachings his whole life, and has been taught that the Al Bhed are not good people. He and Lulu are married.

Lulu: Same age as she was in the game. She's a bit lighter in personality now. Like I have mentioned before she is married to Wakka.

Kimahri: can anyone say, "Talks more?" well, that's right, Kimhari is going to get some more lines, and isn't going to be the oh-so-easily-mistaken-for-a-mute Ronso.

Rikku: Still the perky 15 year old Al Bhed, Rikku hasn't changed much. But her looks are probably the only thing that's changed. She now wears her Thief out-fit from the second game, Her hairstyle, is kind of a mix between both the hairstyles that she's had.

Auron: Still the same, wise legendary guardian, Although, he only acts his former age, at times. Instead of being 35, he's really actually one of the younger members of the party. Being only 16. Auron is often swarmed by unwanted media attention (Which he really didn't want any media attention to begin with.) In his past he grew up with the Al Bhed for a few years, so he is rather fluent in Al Bhed, although he never speaks it much in front of anyone, because of the whole thing with the temples saying Al Bhed are bad people and all.) Auron is still as handsome as ever, and wears the same clothing he normally wears. He and Rikku seem to have a slight history with each other

(so there is the changes in the characters. Let's get the story started!)

It was a warm night in Zanarkand. Everyone was enthusiastic about the upcoming Blitzball match. None of them, were really aware that in just a few hours, they'd all be dead. The star player of the Blitzteam, was getting ready to go off to the game, although, he was running late. "Great." he thought as he felt under his bed for his black and yellow shoes that were apart of the Zanarkand Abes outfit. The Zanarkand Abes was the team that he, played on. In fact he, like his father, Jecht, who had mysteriously disappeared 10 years ago, and was probably dead, was the star player. "I've probably missed the pep-talk, for the match. I'm going to get chewed out by Saurah, again, for being late." He thought. He quickly pulled the shoes over his feet.

Leaving the house, he looked over at the living room. noticing the weapons, and stuff, packed in backpacks sitting in front of the couch. It was a bit odd to him. He knew who the stuff belonged to. All of it belonged to his so called. "caretaker". Actually as he saw it he was just living with this kid. He only thought this because, there was no way he was going to admit, that a 16 year old...kid, was taking care of him. Because the concept of kid taking care of someone who was like 2 years older than him, was unimaginable to the 18 year old Blitzplayer. Shouldn't it have been, like the other way around?

The young blonde boy exited the house, and was instantly greeted by all of his fans. All of them were wishing him luck. Although, one of his fans was hoping that he'd do the "Jecht-shot" as it was referred to by every blitz-fan in Zanarkand. The thought of that really kind of angered him. People often thought, that he was so much like his father, that he'd play blitzball like his old man too. But that was far from the truth. Tidus rarely used moves that his father used, unless the team was really in need of them, to manage to scrape up a victory. Of course he normally tried his best not to let his fans down.

One of the people there in particular caught his eye. A little child, wearing purple. He looked a little odd to him. Tidus walked over to him. The kid started talking to him. "The game, Tidus, it is very important tonight." the little kid said. Then the kid walked away. Tidus shrugged and shook his head. "What ever, man. " He said as he walked, well, more or less ran towards the stadium. As he ran through the busy streets of Zanarkand, he passed by a large picture of the man Tidus called his dad. Since Jecht was a famous blitzball player, they decided to hold a tournament in his memory. Since the Abes had won all of their games, for their section of Zanarkand, they were up against the Duggles, who had won all of their games for their section. This game was going to determine the winner of the tournament.

Tidus had to push past all his fans, but he managed to slip into the Locker room, while all the team was listening to the plays that they were going to try to do in this game. The captain, a woman, with platinum blonde hair and tanned skin. Turned from the board. "Tidus...You're Late, again..." She said rather harshly. Tidus bowed and rubbed the back of his head, laughing uncertainly. "Yeah, Saurah, eh, sorry, over slept." He said. Saurah sighed and shook her head. "You defiantly are Jecht's son..." she muttered under her breath. She then went on talking. Tidus took his seat on the bench with the rest of the team and listened in. This was the one part of blitzball he didn't like doing, but he knew he was going to have to suffer through it.

At this time, a boy of Sixteen years of age, the boy that Tidus lived with, was walking down one of the streets of Zanarkand. The Blitzmatch had begun, and it was completely audible from that side of the town. The boy had just reached Tidus's home. He looked towards the air, and as a breeze blew by ruffling the boy's raven-colored hair, he closed his eyes. Well, actually all he had to do really was close one eye, the other was permanently shut by a scar that ran down his pale face. He then entered the home. He walked directly to the stuff sitting in front of the couch. He slung the backpacks over his shoulder, and carried both swords in his hands. He picked up a photograph that had been along with the stuff and took it out of the frame, and folded it up and shoved it into his pocket after glancing at it for a second.

Minutes later, He was watching the blitzball match from atop a building across Zanarkand. He couldn't really make out any of the people playing. They we're his immediate concern. He turned his gaze from the match, out to the horizon of the darkened ocean. A storm looked to be stirring, and quickly approaching the city. He saw the hulking mass the storm was forming up around. He gave a nod towards the beast, as if he knew it. His mouth from behind its covering, formed the words, "It has been too long..." When the creature was right upon the city, he took note of how the city was practically being drawn in. He got down off the building and started walking towards the blitzstadium. He walked so calmly, while everyone around him ran.

At this time, the people in the blitzball match, had taken no notice to it. The game was getting really heated up. Tidus had the ball, and was just about to make a shot. He leapt out of the sphere pool, and did a near back flip, attempting to kick the blitzball. His eyes came open, when he heard the deathly silence. The crowd had finally took note of the stadium being taken apart. Then of the beans of energy coming by and smashing up the sphere pool. Tidus fell from where he was. He made an attempt to hang onto the edge of the what was left of the sphere pool, but, being covered with water, it made him slippery. So naturally his hand just held on for a breif two seconds, and then he fell down towards the ground.

Tidus was greeted by the hard ground. He felt his shoulder collide with the hard concrete debris. He felt blood oozing from a newly formed gash, on his arm. That gash was not the only wound that had opened. One had opened on his leg, and made his left leg feel numb. He had also cut his face open when he had landed. For a minute he hurt too much to even try to get up. Something in his mind was urging him to get to his feet. Even though he hurt, he slowly made progress up to his feet, and limped his way out of the stadium. The more he walked, the less he hurt, he seemed to notice.

Just outside the stadium, Tidus took note of a familiar looking person leaning against some ruins, that had once been the stadium. He ran as fast as he could over to the boy. "Auron? What are you doing here?" He asked. Seeing how calm Auron seemed through all this chaos, made Tidus think two things. One, Auron was a finally revealing to everyone he was nothing more than a 16 year old psycho. Two, Auron was being stupid. Auron looked over and up at the blonde haired boy, who was injured. "I was waiting for you..." He said, rather strangly. He then handed seached his crimson robes, and found a small bottle of a blue-ish liquid. He handed it to Tidus. "Drink it." he said. Tidus shrugged and gulpped it down. He didn't really give much thought to it. Auron could have been trying to poison him or something, and didn't care.

All of Tidus's wounds seemed to heal, which ment to Tidus, that Auron had merely been trying to help out. Tidus turned to Auron to thank him, but found the dark-haired boy no longer to be there. Instead, Auron was way ahead of Tidus. Tidus had to run to catch up with him. As Tidus was running he heard a voice in his head. "It begins.." The voice said. Tidus stopped. He looked around. He didn't see anyone talking to him, just a bunch of people running in panic. Before Tidus reached Auron, the last thing the voice said to him was, "Don't cry." Tidus looked over at Auron. He still seemed to be as calm as ever. Even when he threw a back-pack at Tidus, he remained really calm.

Tidus took note that Auron appeared to be looking at something. Tidus's gaze was adverted to what Auron was looking at. Tidus saw a large massive ball of water, that seemed to have a creature in it. "What...is that!" He shouted in suprise. Auron gave a glance over to Tidus. "We called it Sin." He said. Just as he had been acting, he was beging calm with his speaking. Tidus was getting a bit annoyed with Auron's calmness. He also wanted to know what Auron ment by "we" as if he were reffering to him, and himself. Tidus didn't understand it because he had never seen this creature before, so he couldn't have called it Sin, or what ever it was called. The creature realesed some strange fish-scale looking things, that landed right infront of Auron and Tidus, and turned into strange little bug creatures.

Which is then where Auron handed Tidus a sword. Tidus looked at the blade the teenager had given him strangely. "What's this?" He asked. Auron sighed. He then drew out his weapon, "It's a gift." He muttered. Tidus looked over at Auron. A smile was across his face. "Auron thanks! You didn't have to get me a gift!" He said. Auron sighed once again. He ran forward and slashed one of the creatures. "..It's not from me, its from Jecht, you moron." He said rather annoyed. Tidus looked at the sword in degust. "Ehh...My old man gave me this!" He asked. Auron defeated another creature. He then looked down and rubbed his forehead. "...Oui yna e sunuh. (You are a moron.)" Auron muttered under his breath.

This was one thing that made Tidus think Auron was a bit crazy. Auron would often slip into some crazy foreign lanugage that Tidus had never heard anyone speak before, which made him kind of wonder if Auron hadn't made it up on his own. Too late to ask Auron that now, because Auron had already busted through seveal swarms of these creatures, and was now standing infront of a giant tentacle looking thing. Tidus looked around and shrugged. He then ran after Auron and joined him in the battle. This time Tidus actually did some fighting, because the creature didn't go away after one hit, like the others had. Also Auron had asked Tidus to help, because to Auron it felt like he was the only one bothering to fight.

Within no time, they had torn through the creature, and then made their way down the road, breaking through all the creatures that came in their way. After one battle, the bridge they were on exploded, behind them. knocking a large building over. Auron looked at Tidus as if to say, "Go." Or "Follow me." Tidus didn't really give a response to this, other than jumping from where he was and running across the building, a few feet behind Auron. The building was starting to expolde. Tidus took note that it really did seem that Auron was leading Tidus towards the creature. Just as he noticed that he had to jump, because the building part that he was under exploded, as it and the rest of the bridge was being dragged up into the giant creature.

Tidus narrowly missed the bridge. He managed to hold onto one of the ends that was floating up really close to the monster. Taking Auron and him with it. Auron was looking at the monster, still being as calm as ever. He seemed to be talking to it because he asked. "You are sure?" He then nodded at the creature. Tidus knew he didn't really have time to think about how he didn't like asking younger people for help, but he needed it right now. "Auron!" He called out. Auron looked over at Tidus and turned. He then bent down and picked up Tidus by the collar. He told Tidus, "This is your story...It all begins here." Tidus looked a bit confused at Auron. "Wha---What are you---" He began in question to the teen who was holding him by the collar, as he was floating upward towards the creature called Sin.

But he didn't have time to finish because Auron just casually let go of him. "Don't do anything stupid..." Auron muttered under his breath. Tidus didn't hear it, because, a ringing was filling his ears, and he was about 10 feet away from Auron. Everything had begun to go really bright. Tidus's head began to feel light, and dizzy. He awoke to find himself in some place, that Looked kind of like the old stadium, only how it looked when it was in ruins. A flaming symbol for the Zanarkand Abes was there as well. Tidus heard his father's voice calling out for him. He then swam around for a bit, and Then came upon a faint ghost like image of himself, when he was younger. He began to think. He began to feel sleepy, which couldn't have been a good sign. "Where am I? What have I gotten myself into?" He asked aloud. No reply came. "Where is Auron? This is all his fault, after all." He thought. He then drifted off to sleep for a bit.
