Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy X
Chapter 1
Thats...BIZARRE!
No way I could've gone to the future, and especially a thousand years! Rikku must be the crazy one. After all, who the heck are these Yevon folks? I felt totally lost, and homesick then I could've imagined. As if I wasn't!
"ARGH!" I yelled, kicking the stupid big crane to help release my frustration, only to lose my balance.
A huge rumble started to shake the ship and the water was rising as if something colossal was under us. Rikku's friends came out, and they were working around the dock anxiously.
"Sin!!" someone yelled. I understood what they were saying this time.
"Ihtan ic! Ithan ic!" Another yelled. (Under us! Under us!)
I saw Rikku coming out to check outside. For some reason, I started running toward her. I wanted to be with her, so that I won't be on my own again. Who knows where Sin is going to take me this time, and I'm not going alone. After all, Rikku saved me once, and I owe her one.
"Rikku!" I yelled. A huge wave crashed on deck and I lost my footing, sliding into the water where I couldn't see a thing.
My world slowly turned dark before I thought I was going to be lost again...
"Hey." A man spoke. I didn't respond. I just wanted to...sleep.
"Hey!" he said louder.
"Who's there?" I said until I saw a bright light that hurted my eyes. When I adjusted my eyes to the light, I saw myself in a park. But it wasn't any park, it was the one I use to go to when I was little in Zanarkand.
There was the empty pool for hoverboarders, a swing sets for kids at the other corner, a large field for the childern to run, and my favorite place was the mini sphere pool. I had habits of running away from my old man when he was home, so I come here and practice. Just to show him what I'm made of, and that I can do better than him. I walked closer towards the sphere pool, then everything started to get hazy and blurry.
Someone is in the pool...and that person is...drowning! I gotta save that person! I ran closer, and it looked like a child. But no matter how fast I was running, I'm wasn't getting any closer to the child. I can't save that kid, as if I'm stuck in this one spot.
"That's your problem, kid."
Huh?!
"When are you gonna learn?" he said. Then I was surrounded in that light again, and off in the distance I could've swore that it was him...my old man. "You'll never be in time to get anything doing. Your a failure!"
"...It's because of you." I said softly.
"Huh? Speak up. You mute or something?"
"It's because of you!" I yelled. Except it wasn't my voice, at least, not my mature voice. Then I say a ghost of my younger self step through me facing my old man.
What's going on?
I...I need...to breath.
Air? I... I can't breath!!
I gasped for air. When my head popped out of the water, I coughed and panted.
"...where am I now?" I said, looking around. I was on water, nice clear water actually. But...
"Rikku?!" I said, suddenly remembering. Then something hit me at the back of my head really hard.
"Ahhh!" I cried out. I turned around and saw the ball bobbing up and down in the water. "Blitzball!"
"Heeey! You okay out there?" someone called from the beach. I waved back frantically. Finally, civilized people!
"HEEEY!!" It felt so good to see something familiar, that I couldn't help but do my Sphere Kick. It felt great.
I swam my way up to shore, and everyone there came up to me staring in awe. All I did was feel bashful and rub the back of my head where I got hit.
"Umm, yo!...Hiya." I said.
"I know a pro when I see one. Who you play for?" The guy with the funky red hair asked me.
"The Zanarkand Abes." I said proudly. But then everyone went from gaping face to puzzled looks.
"Come again?" he asked.
"Uh...umm never mind. I just met up with Sin and my head is kinda feels weird. So I don't know where I am." Then I thought of that park memory. "Or even where I came from." I said depressed.
"Sin's toxin got to ya. But you could still do that move and walk on two feet, right? Praise be to Yevon." He said and did this weird hand formation, like a prayer. Did he say Yevon?
"I'm Wakka," we clapped hands, "coach and captain of the Besaid Aurochs, brudda"
"I'm Tidus." I said but my stomach rumble, drowning my reply. Wakka stared at me, smiling and raised his eyebrow. I smiled back at him.
"You hungry? Must've been some ride with Sin. Come, I'll make ya something at the village." He threw the ball at the rest of the team to practice while I followed him. It felt weird that I just met this 'Wakka,' and I wanted to believed everything that Rikku said was a dream. So, I felt this temptation to ask him, and I let it out.
"It's true that Zanarkand doesn't exist for a thousand years, right? So, there pretty much isn't left there, is it?" I asked, and Wakka gave a quick answer.
"There used to be big cities, just like Zanarkand, all over Spira. People created machina-machines to do all the work while the people sit around and have fun. But, well, look around."
I did and there was ruins of what looked like a city use to be here, before the wilderness took it back. Wakka continued. "Sin came, and destroyed all the cities along with their machina...about a thousand years ago like you said, ya. What really throws me off, is that we have to suffer for some old goofballs did way back when! But what's important is that we atone our sins, like the teachings said. It's just hard to keep up at it, ya."
Rikku was right. I'm not dreaming, this is all...real! I really did travel 1000 years to the future. Wakka laughed.
"The Zanarkand Abes, your a funny guy. Back then, the records said they rock, but you gotta figure a team livin' in luxury like that'd be pretty soft, eh?"
I've reach to a conclusion that Wakka as an alright guy. But all I could think about was Sin. That thing...that monster brought me here. So maybe it would bring me home, and I wouldn't have to worrying about what happen or where I was. It made me feel better when I thought about that, because...I hoped...
"Hey! It's this way" Wakka called. I followed. There was no pathway, but a cliff with a river at the bottom. Wakka pushed me, which I was a little confused why he did that, and we swam our way towards the other end of the river.
I felt Wakka watching me swimming and I knew what was coming...except the part when he creeped behind me and grabbed my head.
"Gotta ask somethin', ya"
"You want me on your team, right?" I guessed, and he released me.
"The big tournament is coming. Every team in Spira'll be there at Luca."
Luca? ...Rikku...
"It's so huge there, I'm sure you'll find someone. And then, maybe, you could find your old team. What'd ya say, huh?" he asked. Maybe he's right, maybe I could find Rikku. She said she take me there, so she might be there at the game too.
"Sure thing." I said. But I still felt doubtful. I hope Rikku and the others did okay when Sin attacked.
Finally, Wakka and I reached to a high point where we could look down at a small village.
"Besaid Village. I played blitzball at five, joined the Aurochs at thirteen, and stayed with them for ten years. Never won a game. So I quitted, it felt right." He said, summarizing his history. We walked down the hill towards the village. "After I quit, I became a guardian as my new job, but I couldn't get the game out of my head."
"Ten years without a single win will go that." I said. But how would I know, I never lost a game!
"Last years match was my last chance, but I couldn't focus."
"Right?" I said sarcastically.
"Hey!" he said.
"So you want it this time. End the audience with a huge leave." Wakka nodded. "What's our goal." I asked.
"Just do your best, I can walk away happy and empty-handed." he said. I was stunned.
"Nah uh! It's Victory. You play to win!" I said motivaing him. "Blitzball is all about chance. When you have it, you go for it!"
"Seriously...hmmm." he said and stayed in his mind all the way until we reached the village. Then someone came running towards us.
"Ah, it's Luzzu. A Crusader." said Wakka.
"A Crusher? Wha?" I said. But this Luzzu didn't look so happy.
"Wakka, we need your help now, the girl is have a seizure again!" Luzzu said, panting.
"What?!" Wakka said, being serious.
"Come! Hurry!" Luzzu said. Wakka and I ran after Luzzu into the village and entered one of the huts. Someone was lying on the bed, sweating, shaking and crying a silent noise. It turns out I was the one who was scared the most because there laid Rikku.
There I hope you like it so far. I try not to make the same dialouge from the game, because after all, it's gonna be different then the game story line!!! please review
