04: Game Script

We begin this game in the Zanarkand Ruins where Tidus and his friends are
sitting at a campfire. 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 thinking about
Yuna. Her parents-they looked so happy together. But it got be worried that
maybe seeing them would make Yuna really consider Seymour's proposal.

Tidus talks to Wakka.

Wakka: Yo, Chappu! Meant to come see you earlier, ya? Sorry! I know you won't
hold it against me. I gave up the game. I'm a guardian from here on, you know?
This guy-looks a lot like you-showed up. Traveling with him, I thought,
maybe...you were still alive somewhere, ya? But then again, here you are on the
Farplane. Guess your favorite place is here. So, how you been? Oh, that guy I
just told you 'bout. I gave him your sword. He likes it.

Tidus: Huh?

Tidus' sword Brotherhood powers up. Tidus talks to Lulu.

Lulu: He is dead, and I am still alive. Coming here really makes that clear. I
should focus more on what I have to do now.

Tidus: What?

Lulu: I'm not even sure what I'm saying.

Tidus: Don't you mean that you should leave Chappu behind? I'm sure he was a
great guy, but there'll be others.

Lulu: Hmm... That's a possibility.

Tidus: How about...Wakka?

Lulu: What, me? With Wakka?

Tidus: Yeah, you two get along great!

Lulu: Getting along isn't enough. Not even close.

Tidus: Oh, sorry. My mistake.

Lulu: You'd do well to remember that. Knowing a bit about women might come in
handy some day.

Tidus: Yeah, I'll remember.

Lulu: I won't be forgetting either. Goodbye, Chappu. You always said I looked
grumpy. But those were the happiest days of my life.

Tidus talks to Yuna.

Tidus: So...Yuna?

Yuna: I've decided.

Tidus: Oh? Really? That's good.

Yuna: I remember, when I was only seven years old, in Bevelle that day. My
father had defeated Sin, and the whole town was out in the streets. Everyone
was laughing. They all seemed so happy. If I defeated Sin, that would make
everyone happy...wouldn't it? I must do what everyone wants, not just what I
want.

Tidus: Let's go back! You gotta tell Seymour.

Yuna: Before that... Call Sir Jecht. Give it a try.

Tidus: Huh?

Yuna: Don't worry. He won't come.

Tidus: (narrating) Trying not to think about my old man made me think about
him, of course.

Yuna: See, told you!

Tidus: (narrating) He isn't here because he's not dead. He's Sin.

Yuna: That means he's alive, you know?

Tidus: What if my old man really is Sin? What would I say to Yuna...heck, to
everybody in Spira? Wait, why should I have to apologize for him, anyway? I'd
rather never see him again.

Yuna: What makes you hate him so?

Tidus: Everything he does just make me mad. It was his fault that me and my
mother...

Tidus saw an image of his mother.

Tidus: Mom? It's her!

Yuna: She's very pretty.

Tidus: But... Wait. No one ever performed the sending on her.

Yuna: She must've accepted death while she was still alive.

Tidus: Whoa there, that's my mother you're talking about.

Yuna: Oh, I'm sorry!

Tidus: It's okay. I think I just figured something out.

Yuna: What?

Tidus: Why I hate my old man.

In Tidus' flashback...

Jecht: See? I told him what I thought of him, right there!

Tidus' Mom: Really?

Jecht: 'Course!

Tidus' Mom: I suppose, but...

Young Tidus: Mommy...

Tidus' Mom: Just a sec, dear.

Tidus: Whenever my old man was around, my mother wouldn't look at me. Maybe
that's when I started to resent him, even hate him. When he left us... Mom just
lost her energy.

The screen switches to young Tidus near the dock.

Auron: Is she all right?

Young Tidus: Why should you care?

Auron: If she dies, I wouldn't know what to do.

Young Tidus: Don't say Mom is gonna die!

Auron: I apologize.

Tidus: The old lady next door told me...when a lovebird dies, the one left
behind... It just gives up living so it can join its mate. It was just like
that. I hated my old man even more. But really, my old man...

The screen flashes to Jecht and Tidus' mom.

Young Tidus: Mommy...

Tidus' Mom: Just a sec, dear.

Jecht: Ah, go to him. He'll cry if you don't.

The flashback ended. The screen switches to the Farplane.

Tidus: Oh, man... I must sound so stupid.

Yuna: I don't think so.

Tidus: How embarrassing!

Wakka: Well? Need some more time?

Yuna: No, I'm ready.

Lulu: Did I miss something?

Tidus, Wakka, Kimahri, Lulu, and Yuna exit the Farplane. In the entrance of the
Farplane...

Yuna: Thanks for waiting! I'll go give my answer to Maester Seymour.

Suddenly, a spirit maester is trying to go out of the Farplane.

Guado 1: Lord Jyscal!

Guado 2: Lord Jyscal!

Auron: He does not belong here.

Yuna: Why?

Auron: Yuna, send him.

Auron kneels and feels odd.

Yuna: Lord Jyscal...

Lulu: He is Lord Jyscal no more. Send him now!

Yuna sends Lord Jyscal. Auron gets up.

Auron: Talk later. We leave now.

Moving on...

Wakka: Wha...what was that just now? That really Lord Jyscal?

Yuna: I don't understand how a man like Lord Jyscal could die and not be sent.

Lulu: I would think that he was sent once...but he stayed on Spira. Something,
a powerful emotion could have bound him to this world. Such things happen.

Rikku: That's against the rules, isn't it?

Auron: It means he died an unclean death.

Tidus joins his group near the red double doors.

Yuna: I'll go...meet with Maester Seymour.

Auron: Yuna! Jyscal is the Guado's problem, not yours.

Yuna goes in and the other group waits outside.

Tidus: (to Lulu) Umm...

Lulu: What?

Tidus: So, Lulu, what do you think about Yuna getting married?

Lulu: As long as the pilgrimage continues, either way's fine.

Tidus: That's it? What if she doesn't even like the guy? Is that okay?

Lulu: People marry for many reasons.

Tidus: What's that mean?

Lulu: Sometimes marriage doesn't require love, you know? Defeat Sin, and bring
joy to the people of Spira. Get married, and bring joy to the people of Spira.
For Yuna, they're just two ways down the same road. All you need is
determination. If you have that, you don't need love.

Tidus: I don't know... I just don't get it.

Tidus follows Lulu to the first floor and talks to her again.

Lulu: Listen. If Yuna gets married, then I...

Tidus: What? That again?

Lulu: Yes. If she is to marry, I would want her to marry for love.

Tidus: See?

Lulu: But... If Yuna said she wanted to marry the one she loves, I would have
to object.

Tidus: Huh? Uh... You're not making much sense.

Lulu: I know.

Tidus then talks to Rikku.

Rikku: When we leave here, we have to go through the Thunder Plains next, you
know.

Tidus tried to enter the shop, but Kimahri came out.

Kimahri: Guado potions good. Buy some before leaving.

Tidus follows Kimahri with the group. Tidus talks to Lulu again.

Tidus: Lulu...

Lulu: I've talked enough about that.

Tidus: What?

Lulu: I'm sorry, just forget about it.

Tidus: Geez! Grumpy!

Lulu: You'll understand one of these days. I just don't want to give it words.
Not yet. I shouldn't have to say this, but don't fall in love with her.

Tidus: Too late.

Lulu: I see. But... You must keep your feelings inside, until the pilgrimage is
over.

Tidus waits a little. Before he tries to exit...

Shelinda: My... Was the lady summoner not with you?

Tidus: No. She's at Seymour's place.

Shelinda: That's "Maester Seymour." Or "Lord Seymour."

Tidus: Oh, I'll be careful. Sorry.

Shelinda: That's all right. Maester Seymour left Guadosalam a short while ago.

Tidus: You serious?

Shelinda: I believe he went to the temple in Macalania. Maester Seymour is also
the high priest of that temple.

Tidus: Whoa, I gotta tell the others!

Tidus finds his group and told them where Seymour is. Inside the room where
Yuna is...

Yuna: (looking at the picture of Jyscal) Lord Jyscal, please tell me. What can
I do to help?

Rikku: Yuna, let's go!

Tidus: They say Seymour went to Macarena Temple.

Wakka: Macalania Temple.

Tidus: Aye.

Wakka: What I don't get is... Why would the lord maester head off without a
peep to anyone?

Rikku: Maybe he wasn't expecting Yuna's answer so soon.

Wakka: Ah, that's probably it.

Auron: Yuna, what is it?

Yuna: Oh, nothing.

Auron: Hmm... You're a poor liar.

Yuna: It's true. It's nothing! Come on, let's go.

Tidus' group proceeds to Thunder Plains. In there...

Rikku: (scared) Oh, no... We're here.

Lightning struck and it scared Rikku.

Tidus: How are we supposed to cross that?

Lulu: See the lightning rod towers? The lightning is drawn to them...hopefully.

Wakka: We head north, not too near and not too far from the towers, ya?

Lulu: Meaning we should avoid wide, open areas.

Lightning struck again and scared Rikku.

Rikku: I think I forgot something in Guadosalam.

Auron: Nice knowing you.

Rikku: Okay, okay! I'll go!

Later near the lodge, lightning struck again.

Wakka: Whoa! That was a close one!

Lulu: Stop kidding around.

Wakka: Yes, ma'am...

Rikku: (afraid) Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh...

Wakka: Hmm? What's wrong?

Rikku: (afraid) Eh heh heh heh heh heh heh...

Tidus: "Heh heh heh..." You're givin' me the creeps!

Lightning struck and Rikku freaks out. Rikku crawls because she is afraid and
grabs Tidus' leg.

Rikku: I wanna go home! I hate lightning! I hate thunder! Let's go rest over
there! Please?

Auron: This storm never stops. Better to cross quickly.

Rikku: I know, but... Just for a little while?

Tidus: Heh, well? What now?

Later near the lodge...

Rikku: Pretty please? Just a few minutes?

The other group ignores and walks away.

Rikku: I'm scared of lightning! Let's rest, please? Pretty please?

The other group ignores and continues to walk away.

Rikku: I'm too young to die!

The other group still ignores and continues to walk away.

Rikku: You're mean...cruel! Your moms would be ashamed of you!

The other group still ignores and then before they could leave the area.

Rikku: Are you having fun doing this to me?

Auron: (heard enough) Fine, we rest. She's worse than the storm.

Inside the lodge...

Yuna: I'm...a little tired. (to the clerk) Do you have a room available?

Clerk: Ah, Lady Summoner. Yes, just over that way.

Yuna: Thank you.

Wakka: Uh, Yuna?

Lulu: It's not like her.

Tidus talks to Rikku.

Tidus: Are you that scared?

Rikku: When I was little, a fiend attacked me while I was swimming at the
beach. My brother tried to beat it back with a spell.

Lightning struck again and Rikku freaked out.

Rikku: But he missed and hit me instead! It was a Thunder spell - "Bzzzzzzt!"

Tidus: Ouch!

Rikku: I've been scared of lightning ever since.

Lulu: But...it can be effective. Magic is effective against marine fiends.

Rikku: My brother said that, too.

Lulu: You should learn some spells, too.

Lightning struck again and Rikku freaked out again.

Lulu: Hmm... Maybe later.

Rin appeared.

Rin: Nice to see you again. Welcome to the Rin Travel Agency. (looks at Rikku)
Oh?

Rikku: Shhh!

Rin: Hmm.

Tidus goes into the hall of the bedroom.

Tidus: Wha...?

Tidus heard strange sound coming from Yuna's room. Suddenly, Tidus accidentally
stumbles into Yuna's room.

Tidus: Whoa!

Yuna: (startled) Y-Yes?

Tidus: I...well... It's nothing, really. I...I just, uh... I'm sorry... I
shouldn't have come in. H-Hey! Wasn't that that Jyscal Guado guy?

Yuna: The sphere is his will... It says, "Take care of my son."

Tidus: His son...? Seymour? Well, I know one way to take care of him.

Yuna: I'm sorry.

Yuna left. Wakka came in and placed Tidus into a choke hold.

Wakka: What do you think you're up to?

Tidus: Yuna...Yuna was acting funny, s-so...

Wakka: Yeah, yeah! She'll tell us when she's ready, so hold your chocobos till
then, ya?

Tidus: All right! All right! All right!

Tidus freed himself from the choke hold. The next morning, Tidus talks to Rikku.

Rikku: It's not stopping, is it?

Auron: Don't tell me you were hoping it would.

Rikku freaked out after the lightning struck.

Auron: Fine. Stay here.

Auron left.

Rikku: All right, already. But! You didn't have to say it like that, you know!
You could be more comforting or something! You know, try to cheer me up? You
just don't get me at all, do you? Hey! Are you listening?

Rikku freaked out again due to the lightning striking again.

Rikku: I'm not scared! I'm not scared, you hear?

Outside, a man took a snapshot of Tidus' group. After that, Tidus' group moves
on. Later, Yuna stops.

Yuna: Everyone...wait.

Wakka: What's up?

Yuna: I have something to tell you.

Lulu: Here?

Rikku: We're almost out of here! Let's go!

Yuna: I have to say it now!

Auron: Over there.

Tidus' group goes in an area with a roof shade.

Tidus: (narrating) Somehow, my bad feelings always come true.

Yuna: I've decided to marry.

Lulu: I thought so.

Lightning struck again and Rikku freaked out.

Wakka: B-But why? Why'd you change your mind?

Yuna: For Spira's future...and Yevon's unity. I thought it would be the best
thing to do.

Auron: That's not good enough.

Lulu: Wait, is it... Is it because of Lord Jyscal?

Tidus: Hey! That sphere!

Auron: Show me.

Yuna: I can't. I must speak to Maester Seymour first. I truly am sorry, but
this is... It is a personal matter.

Wakka: You're kidding, ya?

Auron: As you wish.

Yuna: I'm sorry.

Auron: Just one thing.

Yuna: I won't quit my pilgrimage.

Auron: Then it is...fine.

Tidus: Wait a minute, Auron! You don't care? I mean, you're not going to stop
her?

Auron: No, I'm not. As long as she is willing to face Sin...all else is her
concern. That is a summoner's privilege. As long as she journeys.

Tidus: But that's...

Tidus got frustrated.

Wakka: Yuna, just one question. Can't you just talk to Maester Seymour? You've
got to marry him?

Yuna: I don't know. But I think it is the right thing to do.

Wakka: Okay, I guess.

Rikku: Yunie...

The lightning struck.

Rikku: (to the sky) Quiet! (to Yuna) I wish we could help somehow, some way!

Yuna: It's okay... I'll be fine.

Tidus: (narrating) She says, "I'm sorry," He says, "It's fine." She's "willing"
to face Sin. She's "privileged." I didn't understand. But somehow, I felt I
didn't belong. But if I didn't belong with them, I'd be stuck in Spira, alone.
And being alone in that place, well, I didn't want to think about it.

Auron: Next, we're going to Macalania Temple. Yuna can talk with Seymour there.
We guardians will wait until they're done, and plan out next move. Understood?

Tidus' group proceeds to Macalania. In there, Tidus stops and Auron talks to
him.

Auron: You're worried about Yuna.

Tidus: 'Course I'm worried about her. What is she thinking?

Auron: The simplest answer would be...in exchange for agreeing to marry
him...she hopes to negotiate with Seymour.

Tidus: Negotiate what?

Auron: I wonder.

Tidus: What? All by herself?

Auron: She's strong, but Seymour is the better negotiator.

Tidus: Well then, why don't we do something about it?

Auron: Yuna wants it this way.

Tidus: Argh! I just don't get it! Doesn't she trust us?

Auron: On the contrary... She doesn't want us caught up in whatever it is she's
planning.

Tidus: Yeah, that's what I thought. But that makes me worry even more. She
could just tell us.

Auron: That's the way she is. She's naive, serious to a fault, and doesn't ask
for help.

Tidus: You're probably right.

Auron: Yuna's easy to read.

Tidus: Yeah, she is.

Auron: But hard to guard. Stand by her, always.

Tidus caught up with his group.

Rikku: Slowpokes!

Tidus: Sorry! (narrating) It's funny how calm I was. Maybe it was because I'd
realized that Yuna wasn't marrying Seymour for love. Not really. It was just
her duty-something she had to do before returning to her pilgrimage. That's
what I kept telling myself, anyway. And well, maybe... I realized that Yuna and
I'd never... You know... (to Yuna) Yuna, let's go.

Tidus' group moves on. In the next area, they saw Barthello.

Barthello: Hey! You, have you seen Dona?

Tidus: Dona? Can't say I have.

Wakka: What's up?

Barthello: We got separated on the way here. Damn it all! I've got to find her!

Auron: Calm down.

Barthello: But, if anything happens to her...

Auron: Running around in a panic is not going to help. Right now, you have to
keep cool, and search.

Barthello: But-

Auron: Guard your emotions, then guard your summoner.

Barthello: You're right.

Auron: Shall we search?

Barthello: No, I've taken up enough of your time. Thank you, Sir Auron.

Barthello left, Rikku had something to say to him, but missed the chance.

Wakka: What's up?

Rikku: Oh, I just wanted to wish him good luck.

Tidus' group moves on. In the next area...

Auron: Wait. It is here...somewhere.

Tidus: What's here?

Auron: Something you should see.

Yuna: But, Sir Auron...

Auron: It won't take long.

Auron uses his sword and slices a tree bark revealing a secret path. In the
secret area...

Tidus: This place... It's just water, isn't it?

Auron: This is what spheres are made of. It absorbs and preserves people's
memories.

Suddenly, something is rising from the water.

Wakka: What's that?

Auron: Fiends are also attracted to these places.

Tidus' group fights Spherimorph. After Tidus' group defeats Spherimorph, they
received Jecht's Sphere.

Wakka: Whoa, this is old! Don't know if you can play it back.

Auron: Jecht left it here ten years ago. Play it back.

Tidus plays the Jecht's sphere. They listen to the recordings.

Auron: What are you taking?

Jecht: Well, you said it was gonna be a long trip. We'll be seeing a lot of
neat things, right? So I thought I'd record it all in this. To show to my wife
and kid, you know.

Auron: This is no pleasure cruise!

Jecht: Hey, Braska. Ain't this supposed to be a grand occasion? Where're the
cheering fans? The crying women?

Braska: This is it. Too many goodbyes-people think twice about leaving.

Jecht: Hmm... If you say so. Well, it better be a lot more colorful when we
come back. A parade for Braska, vanquisher of Sin!

Braska: We should go. Day will break soon.

In the next recording...

Braska: Auron, could you stand closer to him?

Auron stands closer to Jecht.

Braska: Good. That should do it.

Jecht: What's the matter? Afraid I might bite?

Auron: Jecht...

Jecht: Braska! You should take one, too. It'd make a great gift for little Yuna!

Braska: I suppose.

Auron: Lord Braska... We shouldn't be wasting our time like this!

Jecht: What's the hurry, man?

Auron: Let me tell you what the hurry is!

Braska: Auron!

The recording stopped.

Tidus: What's the point? He wasn't on some pleasure cruise.

Rikku: I think there's more.

Tidus plays the recording.

Jecht: Hey. If you're sitting there, watching this...it means you're stuck in
Spira, like me! You might not know when you'll get back home, but you better
not be crying! Although, I guess I'd understand. But you know what? There's a
time when you have to stop crying and move on. You'll be fine. Remember, you're
my son. And... Well, uh... Never mind. I'm no good at these things.

The recording stops and then plays again.

Jecht: Anyways...I believe in you. Be good. Goodbye.

The recording ended.

Tidus: He sounded almost serious, but it was too late.

Auron: He was serious. Jecht had already accepted his fate.

Tidus: His fate?

Auron: Jecht... He... He was always talking about going home, to Zanarkand.
That's why he took all those pictures-to show them to you when he returned. But
as he journeyed with us and came to understand Spira, and Braska's resolve...
It happened gradually, but Jecht changed. He decided he would join Braska in
his fight against Sin.

Tidus: So then, he gave up going home?

Auron: That was his decision.

Tidus: (narrating) I guess I understood. My old man... he knew there was no way
back home, back to Zanarkand. He wanted to go home, but he knew he couldn't. He
couldn't go on until he accepted it. Besides...even if he had found a way
back...I don't think he would've left his friends behind before their journey
was complete. (to his group) All right! Let's go guys! (narrating) Maybe I had
to start accepting my own fate.

Tidus finds Auron.

Auron: Wait.

Tidus: Yeah?

Auron: Jecht loved you.

Tidus: Oh, come on, please!

Auron: He just didn't know how to express it, he said.

Tidus: Enough about my old man, okay?

Auron: I just thought you should know.

Tidus: Okay. Thanks.

Tidus' group moves on. In Lake Macalania, Tidus talks to Clasko.

Clasko: Hi there. Would you look at this? They always leave me behind.

The chocobo wants attention.

Clasko: Oh. You want me to scratch you? (scratching the chocobo) There. Good
boy!

Tidus: How'd you know what it wanted?

Clasko: I've always been able to tell how chocobos feel. Maybe I'd make a
better chocobo breeder than Chocobo Knight, huh? Hey, what job do you see me
doing?

Tidus: Chocobo Knight.

Clasko: Oh... Really? For a moment I thought you'd say "breeder."

Tidus goes inside the Travel Agency. After getting prepared, they go outside.
Then...

Tromell: Lady Yuna, we've been expecting you. We were surprised you decided to
come so soon. Pleasantly surprised, of course. Lord Seymour sends his apologies
for having left without notice.

Yuna: It's quite all right. I have one question if I may, sir.

Tromell: My lady?

Yuna: I want to keep journeying, even if I marry. Do you think that Maester
Seymour would let me?

Tromell: But of course, my lady. Lord Seymour wishes nothing else, I'm sure.

Yuna: (to Tidus' group) Goodbye.

Tromell: Well... We must follow Guado tradition. I'll have to ask you to wait
here a little longer. I'll send someone to escort you.

Yuna: I...

Auron: We're all with you. Do as you will.

Yuna: Thank you.

Auron: Sorry.

Tidus: Huh?

Auron: That was your line.

Tidus: Yuna!

Tidus blows a whistle with his fingers to Yuna.

Yuna: Yessir!

Suddenly...

Rikku: Oh, no!

Wakka: Al Bhed!

Tidus catches up with his group.

Auron: Stand back.

Tromell: Thank you!

Yuna went the other way.

Tromell: Lady Yuna!

Rikku then heard a familiar voice.

Brother: Rikku! Tyh'd ehdanvana un oui kad dric? (Rikku! Don't interfere or you
get this?)

Suddenly, Crawler appeared.

Brother: Oain bnaciuic magic and aeons yna caymat! (Your precious magic and
aeons are sealed!)

Rikku: Oh, no!

Tidus: Translation?

Rikku: He's gonna use an anti-magic field on us!

Brother: Ked dras! (Get them!)

Tidus' group fights Crawler. After Tidus' group destroys Crawler...

Tromell: My lady!

Brother: Rikku! I femm damm Vydran! (Rikku! I will tell Father!)

Rikku: E ys dra guardian of Yuna, oui caa? Yuna ec cyva! Fa femm kiynt ran! Cra
ec cyva! (I am the guardian of Yuna, you see? Yuna is safe! We will guard her!
She is safe!)

Brother: Oui tu drec ymuha, cecdan! (You do this alone, sister!)

The brother left.

Rikku: I told him I was a guardian. Well, guess I had to, really.

Wakka: How come you speak Al Bhed? Why?

Rikku: Because I'm Al Bhed. And that...was my brother.

Wakka: You knew?

Tidus nodded "yes."

Wakka: Why didn't you tell me?

Lulu: We knew you'd be upset.

Wakka: This is great. I can't believe I've been traveling with an Al Bhed! A
heathen!

Rikku: You're wrong! We have nothing against Yevon.

Wakka: But you Al Bhed use the forbidden machina! You know what that means? Sin
was born because people used machina!

Rikku: You got proof? Show me proof!

Wakka: It's in Yevon's teachings! Not that you'd know!

Rikku: That's not good enough! Yevon says this. Yevon says that. Can't you
think for yourself?

Wakka: Well, then you tell me! Where did Sin come from, huh?

Rikku: I...I don't know!

Wakka: You bad-mouth Yevon and that's all you can come up with?

Rikku: But...that doesn't mean you should do whatever they say without
thinking! Nothing will ever change that way!

Wakka: Nothing has to change!

Rikku: You want Sin to keep coming back? There might be a way to stop it, you
know!

Wakka: Sin will be gone once we atone for our past mistakes!

Rikku: When? How?

Wakka: If we keep faith in Yevon's teachings it will be gone one day!

Rikku: Why do I even bother?

Auron: Rikku! (looking at the motor sled) Will this move?

Rikku tries to get the motor sled started.

Wakka: We're not using that, are we? Wait... Sir Auron isn't Al Bhed too, is he?

Tidus: Come on, Wakka...

Wakka: What?

Tidus: I mean, getting angry just 'cause you found out Rikku's an Al Bhed...
You guys got along fine till now, didn't you?

Wakka: That's different, I mean...

Tidus: Well, I don't claim to know much about Spira. And I probably know even
less about the Al Bhed, but...I know Rikku's a good person. She's just Rikku.

Wakka: Lu?

Lulu: Just think of this as an opportunity to learn more about the Al Bhed.

Wakka: Ha!

Wakka left.

Auron: (to Tidus) Let him go. Give him time to think.

Rikku: I'm sorry.

Lulu: You've done nothing to apologize for.

Tidus: All right! Let's ride!

Rikku: You sure you know how to drive this?

Kimahri hops on one of the motor sled and takes off.

Tidus: Better than Kimahri does!

Rikku and Lulu hops on the second motor sled and takes off. Tidus hops on the
last one and takes off. Tidus talks to Kimahri while they are both driving.

Tidus: Say... What do you think about Rikku being an Al Bhed?

Kimahri: Ronso are followers of Yevon. Ronso dislike Al Bhed.

Tidus: Oh, I get it.

Kimahri: Not Kimahri. Al Bhed is Al Bhed. Rikku is Rikku. Rikku swore to
protect Yuna. And Rikku is not a liar. Kimahri can tell. So, she is a friend.

Tidus: You know, you might want to tell her that later. I think she needs to
know that we still want her with us.

Kimahri: Kimahri is surprised.

Tidus: Why?

Kimahri: Kimahri think you are kind.

Tidus: Uh, don't tell anyone, okay?

Tidus' group gets off the motor sled. Tidus' group proceeds to the Ice Temple.
Near the entrance...

Guard: Halt! The likes of her are not welcome in this hallowed place.

Auron: She is a guardian.

Guard: An Al Bhed, a guardian? Preposterous!

Rikku: I've decided to be Yuna's guardian now, and that's all I want.

Auron: And that's all one needs to be a guardian.

Guardian: Very well.

Inside, Shelinda appeared.

Shelinda: (to Tidus) Ah! There you are! Maester Seymour and Lady Yuna... I
couldn't be happier...even if it was my own wedding. Now, victims of Sin will
have something to be joyful about.

Tidus: Yeah, I guess so.

Shelinda: You're not happy?

Tidus: Nah, it's complicated. Say... Do you know where Yuna is?

Shelinda: I believe...she's gone to the Cloister of Trials with Maester Seymour.

Suddenly...

Woman: Lord Jyscal! A sphere, in Lady Yuna's belongings...

Inside the room...

Auron: This may well answer a few questions.

Tidus plays the recording from the sphere. They listen to Jyscal's voice.

Jyscal: What I am about to tell you is the unclouded truth. I swear it on my
honor as a Guado. Listen to me very carefully, for I shall tell you the truth
about my son, Seymour. His mind is closed even to me, a maester of Yevon. But I
can feel flames of darkness burning in his heart. He is using Yevon, the Guado,
and even the summoners. If he is not stopped, he will surely bring destruction
and chaos to Spira. I will leave this world soon, killed by my own son. But I
do not fault him. Because I was not wise enough he has suffered, and become
twisted. I could not protect him and his mother from the world and its cruelty.
I will accept death as punishment for my deeds. But whoever is watching
this...I implore you to stop Seymour! Stop my son.

The recording stopped.

Auron: Wonderful.

Rikku: Will Yuna be all right?

Auron: Without us, no.

Auron left.

Wakka: Where you goin'?

Kimahri and Rikku left.

Tidus: You saw, didn't you? Seymour's bad news!

Wakka: But he's a maester!

Tidus: Fine! Stay here if you want!

Lulu: Come on, Wakka. Let's at least hear him out.

Wakka: This can't be happening.

Tidus' group proceeds to the Cloister of Trials. In there...

Auron: Kimahri's up ahead. Go.

Tidus: Right!

Auron: We will protect Yuna from anyone. Even a maester.

Wakka: This can't be happening.

Lulu: If he is truly at fault, it must be done.

In the next room, they see Seymour.

Tidus: (yelling) Seymour!

Seymour: Please be silent. Lady Yuna prays to the fayth.

Tidus: (yelling) Make me.

Yuna came out of the prayer's room.

Tidus: Yuna!

Yuna: But why...?

Tidus: We saw Jyscal's sphere.

Auron: You killed him.

Seymour: What of it? Lady Yuna, certainly you knew of these things, did you
not? Well then, why have you come here?

Yuna: I came... I came to stop you!

Seymour: I see. You came to punish me, then.

Yuna backs up.

Seymour: What a pity. Ah, of course. "Protect the summoner even at the cost of
one's life." The Code of the Guardian. How admirable. Well, if you're offering
your lives, I will have to take them.

Yuna: Maester Seymour. I trust my guardians with my life. But they are also my
friends. I will not stand by and watch them be hurt. I will fight you, too!

Tidus: All right!

Wakka: Maester Seymour!

Seymour: So be it.

The fight with Seymour begins. Tidus talks to Seymour.

Tidus: I knew you were bad news the first time we met!

Seymour: Oh, my sincerest apologies.

Tidus: Seymour!

Tidus' Strength increases. Wakka talks to Seymour.

Wakka: Maester! We must stop this!

Seymour: .........

Wakka: This can't be happening.

Wakka's Magic Defense increases. Yuna talks to Seymour.

Yuna: You may be a maester, but I will still fight!

Seymour: Your eyes, they burn with resolve... Beautiful.

Yuna's Magic Defense increases. After Tidus' group wounds Seymour...

Seymour: Feel my pain! Come, Anima!

Seymour summons Anima.

Tidus: Yuna! The new aeon!

Yuna: O fayth, lend me strength!

Yuna summons a new aeon, Shiva. After Shiva defeats Anima, Seymour dismisses
Anima.

Seymour: That power that defeated Anima... It will be mine!

After Tidus' group defeats Seymour...

Seymour: (dying) Yuna...you would pity me now?

Seymour dies. Yuna closes his eyes. Then, Tromell and the Guados appeared.

Tromell: Lord Seymour! What happened here?

Wakka: What...what have I done?

Tidus: Wait a minute! It's not our fault at all! Seymour struck first! He's the
bad guy!

Tromell: You did this?

Auron: Yuna. Send him.

Tromell: No, stop! Stay away from him, traitors!

The Guados carry the body of Seymour away and Tromell left.

Yuna: Traitors?

Wakka: We're finished.

Tidus: Now hold on just a minute! Seymour's the bad guy, right? We'll explain
to everyone what happened!

Auron: It won't be that easy... Let's get out of here.

Tidus' group tries to escape, but the hallways in the Cloisters of Trials
disappeared.

Tidus: Gimme a break!

After Tidus' group solves the puzzle in the Cloister of Trials, they move to
the main room. In there...

Yuna: Please...

Auron: Give us a chance to explain.

Tromell: No need, I already know what I'll tell the other maesters.

Auron: Meaning...?

Tromell: Lord Seymour was the leader of the Guado before becoming a maester.

Tidus: You're not letting us go.

Tromell: Let you go? Lord Seymour would never forgive us if we did.

Rikku: Wait, wait! Jyscal's sphere! We can show it to them!

Tromell: (holding up a sphere) You mean this?

Tromell destroyed Jyscal's sphere.

Tromell: The Guado take care of Guado affairs.

Kimahri: Away!

Auron: Run!

Tidus' group escapes from the temple.  Upon escaping, they encountered Wendigo.
After Tidus' group defeats Wendigo, Wendigo destroyed the ice floor and Tidus'
group falls into the lake. Under the lake...

Tidus: (narrating) "Praise to be Yevon." That's what I would have said, if I
was a follower of Yevon. We were all there, and in one piece. Even if I had a
headache from wondering what was in store for us next.

Tidus talks to Lulu.

Lulu: We're under the lake ice, aren't we?

Tidus: Who knows?

Lulu: Look. That's the bottom of the temple.

Tidus and Lulu looks at the bottom of the temple.

Lulu: We've fallen a long way.

Tidus talks to Auron.

Auron: What now, I wonder.

Tidus: "What now?" You act first and think later, don't you? I mean, can't you
be a little more responsible? We're all depending on you. You know?

Auron: A lecture?

Tidus: No, no, no. Just a suggestion.

Auron: You should place trust in your friends. But you can't expect someone to
protect you all the time. You would do well to remember that.

Tidus: Is that a lecture?

Auron: It's advice.

Tidus talks to Wakka.

Tidus: Hey, Wakka, would you cheer up? Look, we only did what we had to do.

Wakka: It doesn't matter! Don't you see? I've always walked the path of
Yevon...but now, I'm a traitor. How could this happen? Damn.

Tidus: It's not Rikku's fault either.

Wakka: You don't know how I feel.

Tidus talks to Kimahri.

Kimahri: Yuna will wake soon. Kimahri knows this.

Tidus talks to Rikku.

Rikku: I'm sure Yunie's okay. She's breathing fine and all. How are Lulu and
Wakka?

Tidus: Well, Wakka's in Shock. Can't blame him, either. And Lulu, well, she's
just the same as always.

Rikku: She's so together. All grown up, I guess.

Tidus: I guess.

Rikku: Well, just give me five or six more years.

Tidus talks to Kimahri again.

Tidus: So, Kimahri, how do we get out of here?

Rikku shoves Tidus to get her attention.

Rikku: Hey, don't change the subject!

Kimahri: We climb.

Rikku: Kimahri, too!

Kimahri: Only those who try will become.

Rikku: Huh?

Tidus: I think he means you have to work hard if you want to be like Lulu.

Rikku: Oh! I will!

Kimahri: Kimahri think Rikku should stay Rikku.

Rikku: Hey! Are you saying I'll never be like Lulu?

Kimahri doesn't respond.

Rikku: Kimahri!

Tidus laughs.

Wakka: How can you laugh at a time like this!?

Yuna woke up.

Tidus: Yuna!

Later...

Yuna: I wanted to confront Master Seymour about his father, Lord Jyscal. I
wanted to convince him to turn himself in to Yevon's judgement.

Lulu: In exchange for marriage?

Yuna: Yes, if that's what it took.

Tidus: So, what did Seymour say?

Yuna: He didn't say anything. Now...now I don't even think it was worth it. I
should've told you what I was going to do.

Auron: Enough. Dwelling in the past is futile.

Rikku: Hey! You don't have to say it like that!

Auron: You want to waste time listening to her regrets?

Rikku: You don't have to say it like that.

Auron: Our immediate concern is Yuna's pilgrimage. (to Yuna) Are you willing to
go on?

Yuna: Yes. But then, do you think Yevon will allow it?

Auron: The fayth are the ones that give power to the summoners. Not the temples
or the teachings. If the temples try to stop us...then we will defy Yevon if we
must.

Tidus: Whoa!

Rikku: I can't believe you said that!

Lulu: Sir Auron!?

Wakka: Count me out. We have to atone, to make up for the sins we have
committed. Of course...it's not like I ever liked Maester Seymour, ya? No way
I'll ever forgive him for killing Lord Jyscal...and for trying to do us all in
too, you know? But still, the bunch of us going against Yevon? No way!

Lulu: But still, we have transgressed and must face our punishment.

Yuna: We must go to Bevelle. We must speak with Maester Mika and explain what
has happened. There is no other way, I think.

Wakka: I agree.

Yuna: Sir Auron...

Auron: So it is decided.

Yuna: Will you come with us?

Auron: I am the troublemaker, after all.

Tidus: Yeah, that's right! You can always count on Auron to complicate things!

Rikku: Yeah! Kimahri roars, and Auron runs off, and...

Auron: I never asked you to follow me.

Tidus: Hey, but that's what friends are for. Right?

Rikku: Yep!

Yuna: Thank you.

Rikku: Friends, huh?

Wakka: Man... How can you all act like nothing's wrong? Must got nerves of
steel or something.

Lulu: You're too edgy. Listen to the hymn and calm down.

Tidus talks to Yuna as they heard the hymn.

Tidus: Is that coming from the temple?

Yuna: Yes, it is Yevon's gift. It soothes the hearts of the faithful.

Tidus talks to Auron.

Auron: Jecht used to sing this song...

Tidus: Yeah, over and over. But not this good, that's for sure.

Auron: Another trait you share.

Tidus: What, you were listening?

The screen switches to a flashback where Tidus is sitting on the dock singing
the song.

Tidus: Eesh... Can't I get a little privacy?

Auron: Your singing reminded me of Spira.

Tidus: Oh, right. You're not originally from Zanarkand, are you? You homesick?

Auron: Maybe.

The flashback ended.

Tidus: Say, how'd you get to Zanarkand anyway? Sin?

Auron doesn't respond.

Tidus: Uh-huh, I thought so. (narrating) That proved it. Sin was the link
between Zanarkand and Spira. Which means, if we kill Sin, I'll never be able to
go home.

Later...

Lulu: The singing stopped.

Suddenly, there was a shaking.

Wakka: There's something here!

Auron: The ground!

We watch a movie of Sin ready to make its move.

Yuna: Sin!?

Lulu: The toxin! Watch out!

The screen faded white.

Tidus: (narrating) It was then I knew...that Sin really was my old man. For the
first time, I was finally able to believe it.

Tidus talks to Sin.

Tidus: The song... You were listening, too! What is it this time?

The screen switches to a flashback of Zanarkand.

Tidus: Zanarkand... You homesick, too? That's not your world anymore. You're
Sin now.

The screen shows young Tidus.

Tidus: Hey, I'm older now, you know?

The screen shows Jecht.

Tidus: I know. You want this to end. I'll find a way. Promise.

The flashback ended. Tidus then woke up in an oasis. After getting out of the
oasis...

Tidus: Where am I? I forgive you, this time. Be good for a while, okay?

Tidus moves on. He encounters Zu. During the fight, Lulu and Auron came in to
assist the fight. After they defeat Zu...

Tidus: The others?

Lulu: Haven't found them yet. We're supposed to stay in one place if we get
split up.

Tidus: Wait here if you want. (looking at Auron who is moving on) He's not.

Tidus saw Wakka.

Tidus: Wakka!

Tidus, Lulu, and Auron approaches closer to Wakka.

Tidus: You alone?

Wakka: Where's Yuna?

Tidus, Lulu, and Auron don't know.

Wakka: Dammit! First I lose Yuna, then I'm ambushed by machina! Great day I'm
having.

Tidus' group finds Kimahri.

Kimahri: Yuna...gone.

Tidus: It's not your fault, Kimahri!

Tidus' group finds Rikku.

Rikku: Oh! Hey, guys! Where's Yunie?

Tidus: Gone.

Lulu: Gone... Some guardian I am.

Rikku: Umm... There's something I wanna tell you, but promise not to say
anything.

Wakka glares at Rikku.

Rikku: No glaring either! I know where we are. We're on Bikanel Island. There's
a place us Al Bhed call Home near here. Yunie's there. I'm sureof it! Other Al
Bhed must've come and rescued her!

Wakka: Rescued? You mean kidnapped!

Tidus: What does it matter as long as she's safe?

Rikku: That's right! Anyway, I will take you there if you promise...that you
won't tell anyone about it. Especially not Yevonites, okay? You know they don't
like us Al Bhed. Who knows what they'll do if they knew?

Wakka: Gimme a break. What are you accusing Yevon of this time?

Rikku: Yevon did something really bad to us before.

Wakka: Well, you Al Bhed must've deserved it.

Tidus got really frustrated.

Tidus: Can't you guys...talk about this later?

Rikku: (to Wakka) Just promise you won't tell anyone about this island. Promise?

Tidus: Wakka, come on!

Wakka: All right, I promise! Lead the way.

Rikku: You got it!

Tidus' group follows Rikku to Home. Near Home...

Rikku: Over here!

Suddenly...

Rikku: Aaaaaaa!

Tidus: Rikku!

Rikku runs. We watch a movie of Home under attack.

Wakka: What? Yuna's down there?

Lulu: Of all the places... Let's go!

In Home, the Al Bhed with their guns are fighting back, but they are
outnumbered. There are lots of casualties.

Wakka: Where's Yuna?

Suddenly, an Al Bhed got fatally wounded.

Rikku: Keyakku! Who? Who's attacking us? Fru tet drec du oui? (Who did this to
you?)

Keyakku: Yevon... Guado...

Keyakku died.

Rikku: Keyakku? Keyakku!

Lulu: A war? Between Yevon and the Al Bhed?

Man: Dryd ec fnuhk! Guado ku vun dra summoner. (That is wrong! Guado go for the
summoner.)

Rikku: Vydran... (Father...)

The man checks the dead body of Keyakku. After that...

Man: You Rikku's friends? Well, just don't stand there, come on! Let's go kick
those Guado out of our Home!

The man left.

Tidus: Who...?

Rikku: Cid. Leader of the Al Bhed... He's my dad.

Tidus: Let's go.

Rikku: Yeah. We have to save Yunie.

Tidus: Not only Yuna. Right?

Rikku: Right!

Tidus catches up with his group.

Wakka: Yuna! Where are you?

Tidus' group fights Guado Guardian and 3 Bombs. After Tidus' group defeats
them...

Wakka: What in Yevon's name are those Guado thinking?

Rikku: This is terrible!

Tidus' group follows Rikku. In the next area...

Cid: Drec pedac! Rikku! Oui nayt sa? Oui ku ihtan, duu! E ys majamehk Home! Yht
dra fiend fedh ed! (This bites! Rikku! You read me? You go under too! I am
leveling Home! And the fiend with it!)

Rikku: Oh, no!

Wakka: What'd he say!?

Rikku: We have to get underground!

Auron: Where's Yuna?

Rikku: The Summoners' Sanctum! This way!

Suddenly, Tidus' group encounters Guado Guardian and 2 Dual Horns. After
defeating them...

Rikku: Over here!

Tidus' group follows Rikku. In the next area...

Wakka: This place done for.

Rikku: (sad) You're right. You're right, Wakka. We Al Bhed, we...we weren't
always like this. Sin destroyed the island where we all used to live. After
that, we were scattered to every corner of Spira. But then, my dad brought the
Al Bhed together again. We few put our minds to it and worked together, then we
could make a new home. Everyone worked hard, we had our Home back again... But
now... Why did things have to turn out this way?

Wakka: Rikku... Damn those Guado! What are they thinking?

Tidus follows his group.

Lulu: Rikku, what is the Summoners' Sanctum?

Rikku: The Summoners' Sanctum is where we keep the summoners. We keep them safe
here.

Wakka: You kidnapped them.

Rikku: I know it's against the teaching and all that...

Wakka: I get why you did it, but...

Tidus: Well, I sure don't get it, Wakka. They might get hurt on their
pilgrimage so you kidnap them? I mean, if the summoners don't do their job,
then who will beat Sin? You want to protect them, I know. But the guardians are
there for that. If guardians do their job well, summoners will be safe! Right?
Right!?

Kimahri: It's quiet. Kimahri goes now.

In slow motion, Tidus' group proceeds to the Summoners' Sanctum.

Rikku: Yuna, please be here!

In there...

Kimahri: Yuna!

Dona: She's not here. Hello again. Wait there until we have performed the
sending.

Isaaru: They died...protecting us. It's not much, but the least we can do is
give them a proper sending.

Isaaru begins the sending to the fallen Al Bheds.

Pacce: (to Tidus) Hey, what's "sacrificed"? The Al Bhed said summoners were
being "sacrificed." That summoners shouldn't have to do a pilgrimage...

Tidus: Why couldn't they trust guardians to protect the summoners? The Al Bhed
had no right stopping their pilgrimage!

Rikku: The pilgrimages have to stop! If they don't, and they get to
Zanarkand... They might defeat Sin. Yunie could...but then she... Yunie will
die, you know? You know, don't you? Summoners journey to get the Final Aeon.
Yuna told you, didn't she? With the Final Aeon, she can beat Sin. But
then...but then... If she calls it, the Final Aeon's going to kill her! Even if
she defeats Sin, it will kill Yunie too, you know!

Rikku cried a little.

Tidus: Was I the only one who didn't know?

Tidus kneels down and talks to Rikku.

Tidus: (PO'ed) Tell me why! Why were you hiding it? Why didn't I know?

Wakka: We weren't hiding it...

Lulu: It was just...too hard to say.

Tidus kneels down PO'ed and depressed. He pounds the floor in unhappiness.

Tidus: (shouting) Lulu! How could you? How could you? Isn't she like a sister
to you? I thought you were family! (to Wakka) Why don't you do something, Wakka?

Lulu: Don't you think we tried to stop her? She follows...her heart.

Wakka: Yuna, she knew what she was doing when she chose to become a summoner.
To face Sin, ya? Yuna knew!

Rikku: But Wakka, that's just totally wrong! Summoners shouldn't have too
sacrifice themselves...just so the rest of Spira can be happy, right?

Suddenly, a monster appeared.

Isaaru: But that is our choice...

Dona: We all live in fear of Sin. You know that.

Isaaru: A world without Sin... That is the dream of all Yevon's children. And
we will use that power, even if it means our lives!

The summoned monsters appeared. Tidus is upset and runs towards Valefor.

Tidus: And I've been telling Yuna... Let's go to Zanarkand together! Let's beat
Sin! I told her all the things we could...we could... And all along, the whole
time, I didn't know anything! But Yuna, she'd...just smile.

Tidus kneel to the floor upset. The screen switches to the flashback with Yuna
and Tidus.

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!

The screen switches to Tidus and Yuna laughing hard.

Yuna: I want my journey to be full of laughter.

The flashback ended.

Tidus: I can't let her die! I'll find her!

Tidus' group moves on to the airship dock. Tidus gets in the airship.

Cid: Hu desa! Ku, ku, ku! (No time! Go, go, go!)

Brother: Drnaa sehidac mavd! (Three minutes left!)

Cid: Rinno, rinno! Oui ryja uha sehida! (Hurry, hurry! You have one minute!)

Tidus: Where's Yuna?

Cid: Ajanouha uh puynt? (Everyone on board?)

Al Bhed: Ajanouha ymeja! (Everyone alive!)

Tidus got impatient and turns Cid around.

Tidus: I said, where is she?

Tidus angrily grab and pick up Cid.

Tidus: Answer me! Answer me, damn you!

Cid: What'll you do when you find her, eh?

Tidus puts Cid down.

Tidus: I didn't know anything about what a summoner is supposed to do. And I
told her all those things without even thinking. I've got to tell her. I've got
to tell her I'm sorry!

Cid: That's it? You're gonna tell her you're sorry? And then you just drag her
to Zanarkand and make her fight Sin, huh? You're all the same-let the summoner
die so we can live in peace!

Cid grabs Tidus and throws him to the ground in Solid Snake style.

Tidus: No! I'm not gonna let Yuna die!

Cid: Hah! Words! Show me action!

Tidus: (shouting) I'm telling you, she won't die!

Cid: Boy, don't forget those words, 'cause if you do...I'm gonna make you
regret it.

Tidus: I won't.

Tidus approaches the sphere.

Tidus: So you know where she is?

Cid: 'Course not. That's why we're gonna look! Using this airship!

Wakka: A-Airship?

Brother: Vydran! Nayto du ku! (Father! Ready to go!)

Cid: Oaaryy! E vmekrd 100 oaync ujantia! (Yeehaa! A flight 100 years overdue!)

We watch a movie of the airship getting out of the airship hatch.

Brother: Fruy! Ed sujac! (Whoa! It moves!)

Cid: Necg pek! Feh pek! (Risk big, win big!)

Brother: Fruy! Ed vmeac! (Whoa! It flies!)

Cid: Haqd, fa ica dryd! (Next, we use that!)

Brother: Frydajan oui cyo. (Whatever you say.)

The Al Bheds starts singing the hymn.

Wakka: What's goin' on?

Rikku: We're...we're going to blow up our Home.

Lulu: How?

Cid: With one of the forbidden machina! (to an Al Bhed) Nayto? Vena! (Ready?
Fire!)

We watch a movie of the airship launching the missiles at the destroyed Home.
The explosion created a chain reaction. The airship got away successfully.

Cid: Gah-hah-hah-hah! Nadinh du cyht! (Gah-hah-hah-hah! Return to sand!)

The brother started crying.

Cid: Hu haat vun daync! Fryd ed kuut ypuid machina, ec drao lyh pa piemd yhaf,
oui caa? (No need for tears! What is good about machina, is they can be built
anew, you see?)

Wakka: (to Rikku) Hey, look. Don't get so down. Boom! Like happy festival
fireworks, ya?

Rikku: You can cram your happy festival, you big meanie!

Tidus talks to everyone on the bridge. After that, he goes back to the control
room.

Auron: After rescuing Yuna, then what? You want to keep her safe, correct? Would
you seek to stop her pilgrimage?

Cid: Of course! If she continues this fool pilgrimage, she will die! Sure as if
you killed her yourself. No haired-brained law or teaching can send my little
niece to her death! When I save her, I'll make her give up being a summoner
quicker than a desert melts ice!

Auron: Even against her will?

Cid: Better than dog's death! And I'll take down anyone who don't agree!

Auron: You are the captain.

Cid: Good! Then it's settled!

Tidus talks to the brother.

Brother: Vydran! Fa vuiht Yuna! (Father! We found Yuna!)

Cid: Frana!? (Where!?)

Brother: E femm cruf oui! (I will show you!)

Tidus: Yuna?

The screen switches to Yuna with her hair in a ponytail and is wearing a
wedding dress and Seymour in his groom robe. The screen switches back to the
airship.

Tidus: What was that!?

Lulu: The Palace of St. Bevelle. Heart of Yevon.

Tidus: (to Cid) Gramps, let's move!

Cid: Easy, kiddo. Bevelle's defenses are top-notch.

Tidus: What's the matter, gramps? You scared? Yuna's there, so we go andget
her! And that's all!

Cid: You got guts. (to the brother) Cad luinca du Bevelle! Vimm cbaat yrayt!
(Set course to Bevelle! Full speed ahead!)

Brother: Nukan! (Roger!)

The brother drives the airship at full speed and Tidus got pushed back.

Cid: It'll take a while to get to Bevelle. Meanwhile...

Tidus: We prepare for battle!

Before Tidus could leave the control room, they felt a shaking and Rin came in
to the control room.

Rin: We're being attacked from within. Some of the Guado that attacked Home
must have snuck on board.

Cid: You're awfully calm about it!

Rin: I am calm about most things.

Cid: Fiends! There's nothin' to do but-

Rikku: (interrupted Cid) But destroy the ship and all go down together!

Cid: Hah?

Rikku: You gotta learn a little restraint, Pops. If you crash the ship, we
can't go rescue Yunie! Leave the fiends to us professionals!

Tidus: Yeah! Let's go!

Rikku: (to Tidus) Thanks.

Rin: Rikku, you've made some very good friends, I think. Good luck.

Tidus' group proceeds to the cabin area. There, Auron saw a wyrm, Evrae.

Auron: Huh, now there's a rare sight.

Tidus: Whoa, that's huge!

Rikku: What is that?

Lulu: The guardian wyrm, Evrae. The great sacred beast-protector of Bevelle!

Auron: The red carpet has teeth.

Tidus: Wait, that means we're close to Bevelle!

Cid: (speaking in radio contact) Rikku, do you read me? We're going to fight
that thing! Get on deck and show him what you got! Go!

Rikku: There he goes again.

Auron: The ferryman asks a high price.

Tidus proceeds to the platform to the roof of the airship. They go up.
Outside...

Cid: We gotta keep our distance, boys, but we can't let her get too far away.
You all have to tell me when to move!

Evrae is about to fight.

Cid: But tell me quick, eh? This rig ain't she nimble, you hear?

Tidus: Roger! I'll give the commands!

Rikku: Not alone, you won't!

Tidus' group fights Evrae. After Tidus' group defeats Evrae...

Brother: Cruud! Fa'na mucehk bufan. (Shoot! We're losing power.)

Cid: Rao! E caa Bevelle! (Hey! I see Bevelle!)

We watch a movie of the airship moving at full speed towards Bevelle. While
Seymour and Yuna are ascending the stairs, Kinoc and the Warrior Monks with
guns are about to attack. They saw the airship.

Kinoc: Fire!

The airship passes by.

Seymour: (to Yuna) Come.

We watch a movie of the airship firing the wired harpoons at the bridge and
Tidus' group slides on the wires to get down to the bridge.

Tidus: Yuna!

Tidus' group breaks though some of the enemies defense by defeating the
enemies. After they get near Kinoc...

Kinoc: (pointing his gun at Tidus' group) This has gone far enough!

Auron: (to Tidus) Stop!

Tidus' group, were surrounded by guard with guns pointing at them. Yuna holds
up her rod and prepares her sending to Seymour.

Seymour: You would play at marriage just for a chance to send me? Your resolve
is admirable. All the more fitting to be my lovely wife.

Just when Yuna was going to begin her sending...

Mika: Stop! Do you not value your friends' lives? Your actions determine their
fate. Protect them...or throw them away. The choice is yours.

Yuna drops her rod.

Seymour: You are wise.

We watch a movie of Seymour kissing Yuna. Tidus' group were PO'ed.

Seymour: Kill them.

Kinoc: (ready to kill) I am sorry, but it is for Yevon.

Auron: Aren't those weapons forbidden by Yevon?

Kinoc: There are exceptions.

Yuna: No!

Yuna is standing near the edge, thinking about jumping to her death.

Yuna: Throw down your weapons! Let them go, or else...

Yuna steps back a little closer to the edge. Seymour commands the soldiers to
stop pointing the gun at Tidus' group. Tidus' gets closer to Yuna.

Yuna: Leave now! Please!

Tidus: You're coming with us!

Yuna: Don't worry! Go!

Seymour: This is foolish. If you fall, you'll die.

Yuna: Don't worry. I can fly. Believe.

Yuna falls off the edge of the bridge.

Tidus: Yuna!

We watch a movie of Yuna falling, but then, Valefor flew by and caught Yuna
just in time. They escape.

Rikku: (readying a flashbomb) Cover your eyes!

Rikku throws a flashbomb and it temporarily blinded the soldiers and Seymour.
Tidus' group makes their escape.

Wakka: Wh-What was that?

Rikku: An Al Bhed flashbomb!

Tidus: (grabbed by Kimahri) Lemme go! I'm gonna kill that Seymour!

Kimahri: Yuna said leave! We leave!

Lulu: We'll join up with her later!

Auron: Break through!

In the next area...

Rikku: Where'd Yunie go?

Kimahri: Bevelle Palace is temple. Yuna goes to one place only.

Tidus: The Chamber of the Fayth!

Inside the Chamber of the Fayth...

Lulu: It's too quiet. A trap?

Tidus: Who cares? Yuna's waiting for us!

Rikku: (saw something) Huh?

Rikku saw a control panel and activates it.

Wakka: What's a machina doing in the temple?

Rikku: I suppose it comes in handy.

Wakka: That's not what I mean! The teachings! What about the teachings?

Rikku: Hey, don't look at me!

Tidus' group takes the spiral platform down. In the next area, Rikku activated
the control panel and deactivated the barrier.

Wakka: Another machina? Man...

Auron: So this is Yevon's true face. They betray their own teachings.

Wakka: They treated us like dirt.

In the next area...

Lulu: The entrance to the Trials.

Rikku: I wonder of Yunie's really in there.

Wakka: Let's go and see!

Lulu: Let's go!

Tidus' group proceeds to the Cloister of Trials. After solving the puzzles,
they are at the prayer's room.

Tidus: Yuna?

Wakka: Inside, maybe?

Tidus: Then what are we standing here for?

Tidus tries to open the door.

Wakka: H-Hey!

Tidus: You can stuff your taboos!

Kimahri helped Tidus open the door. Tidus goes inside where Yuna is praying to
a fayth.

Tidus: Wh-What's that?

Auron: A fayth. They join with a summoner, and together receive the aeon. They
are human souls, imprisoned in stone by ancient Yevon rites. The dead should be
allowed to rest.

The fayth went inside Yuna and Yuna became unconscious.

Tidus: Yuna!

Tidus picks up Yuna. But before they could make an escape...

Rikku: Wait, don't come out!

Suddenly, Tidus' group, were surrounded by the soldiers with guns and Kinoc
appeared.

Kinoc: There's the last of them. You are to stand trial.

Auron: I expected it will be a fair trial.

Kinoc: Oh course it will.

Tidus' group, were detained. Later in the trial...

Ronso: The High Court of Yevon is now in session. The sacred offices of this
court seek nothing but absolute truth, in Yevon's name. To those on trial:
Believe in Yevon, and speak only the truth.

Lulu: Maester Kelk Ronso.

Kelk: Summoner Yuna. You have sworn to protect the people of Yevon, true?

Yuna: Yes.

Kelk: Then, consider: You have inflicted dire injury upon Maester Seymour
Guado...conspired with the Al Bhed and joined in their insurrection. These are
traitorous and unforgivable crimes that disturb the order of Yevon. Tell this
court what possessed you to participate in such violence.

Yuna: Your Grace... The real traitor is Maester Seymour! He killed his father
Jyscal with his own hands!

Kelk: What is this!

Seymour: Hmm? Hadn't you heard?

Yuna: Not only that... Maester Seymour is already dead!

Lulu: It is a summoner's sacred duty to send the souls of the departed to the
Farplane! Yuna is only doing her job as a summoner!

Yuna: Grand Maester Mika... Please, send Seymour now!

Mika: Send then unsent to where they belong?

Yuna: Yes! Maester?

Mika: Send the dead...hmm?

Some of the souls come out of Mika.

Mika: You would have to send me, too.

Wakka: What!

Kelk: Grand Maester Mika is a wise leader. Even in death, he is invaluable to
Spira.

Kinoc: Enlightened rule by the dead is preferable to the misguided failures of
the living.

Seymour: Life is but a passing dream, but the death that follows is eternal.

Mika: Men die. Beasts die. Trees die. Even continents perish. Only the power of
death truly commands in Spira. Resisting its power is futile.

Yuna: But what of Sin? I am a summoner, my lord, like my father before me! I am
on a pilgrimage to stop the death that Sin brings. Are you... Are you telling
me that, too, is futile? Grand Maester Mika, I am not alone!  All the people
who have opposed Sin... Their battles, their sacrifices were they all in vain?

Mika: Not in vain. No matter how many summoners give their lives, Sin cannot be
truly defeated. The rebirth cannot be stopped. Yet the courage of those who
fight gives the people hope. There is nothing futile in the life and death of a
summoner.

Auron: Never futile...but never ending.

Mika: Indeed, that is the essence of Yevon.

Yuna: Lord Mika!

Mika: Yevon is embodied by eternal, unchanging continuity, summoner.

Yuna: No...that can't be right!

Mika: Those who question these truths-they are traitors!

Yuna: Lord Mika!

Later, the screen switches to Tidus and Auron in a cage.

Tidus: (shouting) Get me outta here! I want out now! You hear me?

Auron: You waste your breath.

Tidus: Man, I hope Yuna's okay.

Auron: She's strong. She'll make it.

Tidus: She'll make it? What, so she can die? Why is it...everything in Spira
seems to revolve around people dying?

Auron: Ahh, the spiral of death.

Tidus: Huh?

Auron: Summoners challenge the bringer of death, Sin, and die doing so.
Guardians give their lives to protect their summoner. The fayth are the souls
of the dead. Even the maesters of Yevon are unsent. Spira is full of death...
Only Sin is reborn, and then only to bring more death. It is a cycle of death,
spiraling endlessly.

Later, Kinoc appeared.

Kinoc: Come out. Your sentence has been decided.

Auron: Sentence? Don't you mean execution?

Kinoc: Really, now, what person would execute a dear friend?

Auron: You would.

In the area with water...

Soldier: Looks like you're next!

Tidus: Next for what?

The soldier pushed Tidus into the water.

Soldier: Get going!

Tidus: Where's everybody else?

Soldier: Floating down there somewhere, maybe.

Tidus swims forward and found Wakka and Rikku.

Wakka: Oooh! You made it!

Tidus: What's our sentence?

Wakka: Think they expect us to give up and die down here.

Tidus: Well, that's a lame way to kill someone.

Rikku: Where's Yunie?

Tidus: I don't know.

Rikku: Wonder if we should wait for her...

Tidus: Hmm... Let's wait at the exit.

Rikku: If there is an exit.

Later in the court...

Mika: How fares the Ronso maester?

Seymour: It seems my father's murder troubled him.

Mika: Ever the Ronso. Hard-headed, hardly useful.

Seymour: However... The summoner Yuna, daughter to High Summoner Braska... She
may be of some use to us alive.

Mika: She has disturbed the order of Yevon. She cannot be allowed to live.

Seymour: I understand.

Kinoc: Let it go, Seymour. No one thrown into the Via Purifico has ever
survived.

Mika: Yet there is always a small chance that they might. Place guards at the
exit. Kill any who emerge.

Seymour: Sir. Leave that to me.

Mika: First your father, now your bride?

Seymour: Allow me to do this because she is my bride.

Kinoc: Wait, I will go, too.

Seymour: You do not trust me?

Kinoc: Would you trust a man who murdered his father?

Seymour: Very well. As you wish.

Kinoc: Lady Yuna, forgive me.

Yuna is in the Maze of Sorrow. In there, she finds Lulu.

Yuna: Lulu, I...

Lulu: It's okay. I know.

Yuna finds Kimahri.

Kimahri: Yuna, sorry we left you alone.

Yuna: No, it's okay.

Yuna finds Auron.

Auron: There must be an exit somewhere. We search!

Yuna's group, are looking for en exit. Then Isaaru appeared.

Isaaru: Lady Yuna... So it is you!

Yuna: Why are you here?

Isaaru: We rode the airship to the Calm Lands, then came to Bevelle. Maester
Kinoc summoned us then. Ordered us to "deal with the traitors."

Auron: You will fight us?

Isaaru: The temple's orders are law. Even if you are Lord Braska's flesh and
blood... You're a traitor!

Lulu: His guardians... I don't see them.

Isaaru: Maroda and Pacce are not here. I will do this unhappy deed myself.
Forgive me, Lady Yuna.

Yuna fights Isaaru. Isaaru summons Grothia.

Isaaru: Your aeons against mine!

After Yuna summons an aeon and defeats Grothia, Isaaru summons Pterya.

Isaaru: It's not over yet!

After Yuna defeats Pterya, Isaaru summons Spathi.

Isaaru: I cannot let you pass!

Yuna manages to defeat Spathi and she wins the battle against Isaaru. After
that...

Isaaru: Stay away!

Lulu: Yuna, let's go.

Isaaru: There's a way to the surface up ahead.

Yuna, Lulu, and Kimahri move on.

Auron: (to Isaaru) Your pilgrimage is over.

Auron moves on. The screen switches to Tidus' group swimming through the
currents. They encountered Evrae Altana. After Tidus' group defeats Evrae
Altana, they swim out of the currents. They got out and met up with their other
group.

Rikku: Yunie!

Rikku embraces Yuna.

Rikku: You're all right? We were so worried! It's good to have you back!

Yuna: Thank you.

Tidus: Um...I...uh...

Suddenly, Seymour and the soldiers carrying the dead body of Kinoc appeared.
The soldiers threw Kinoc's body to the ground.

Auron: Kinoc!

Tidus: Why, you!

Seymour: I have saved him. He was a man who craved power. And great power he
had, but he feared losing it. Trembling at unseen enemies, he spent his days
scheming petty schemes. Chased by his fears, never knowing rest. You see... Now
he has no worries. He has been granted sleep eternal. Death is a sweet slumber.
All the pain of life is gently swept away... Ah, yes. She you see...if all life
were to end in Spira, all suffering would end. Don't you see? Do you not agree?
That, Yuna, is why I need you. Come, Lady Yuna. Come with me to Zanarkand, the
lost city of the dead. With death on our side, we will save Spira, and for
this... I will take from you your strength, Yuna, your life, and become the
next Sin. I will destroy Spira! I will save it!

Tidus: You're totally nuts!

Kimahri stabs Seymour with his spear, but Seymour didn't die.

Seymour: Unpleasant... Very well. I will give you your death. You seem to want
it so.

Seymour transforms into a demon. The soldiers and the dead body of Kinoc
disappeared.

Kimahri: Run! Protect Yuna!

Auron: Go!

Tidus: No way! I'm fighting!

Auron: (pulls out his sword) I said go!

Tidus' group runs without Kimahri. Then, Yuna stops.

Yuna: I won't leave Kimahri behind!

Auron: He is a guardian. Protecting you is everything.

Yuna: Auron!

Tidus: That's right! We're all guardians! Yeah, and you know what that means?
Yuna... Anywhere you go, I'll follow!

Yuna: Anywhere I go?

Tidus: Yeah, anywhere!

Yuna: Well, then!

Tidus & Yuna: Let's go!

Tidus: Hey, Kimahri! Leave some for us!

Tidus and Yuna searches for Kimahri.

Wakka: Hey! Wait for me!

Wakka goes after them.

Rikku: Me, too!

Rikku goes after them.

Lulu: I'll go, too!

Lulu goes after them. Then Auron just had no choice but to follow them. Tidus'
group prepares for battle against Seymour Natus. Yuna talks to Seymour.

Seymour: It is good to see you again, Lady Yuna, but you don't seem pleased...

Yuna: I'll only be pleased when you're gone to the Farplane!

Yuna's Magic Defense increases. Tidus talks to Seymour.

Seymour: So you too, seek freedom from this painful life?

Tidus: You talk too much, Seymour!

Tidus' Strength increases. Auron talks to Seymour.

Auron: Although he was not the man I once knew... Kinoc was still my friend,
Seymour. You will pay for his death!

After Tidus' group defeats Seymour Natus, Tidus' group escapes from Bevelle and
in Macalania Woods.

Tidus: (narrating) We escaped with our skins intact, but Yuna lost something. I
could already tell, her faith was shaken. Yevon had betrayed her. I felt like I
should do or say something-anything... But nothing came. I was just as lost as
she was. And then...

Later in Macalania Woods, Auron appeared with Tidus' group.

Wakka: Well?

Auron: We're all clear. We will have to avoid Bevelle in the future. Yuna? Said
she wanted to be alone. Of course.

Tidus finds Yuna in the water and talks to her.

Yuna: I always thought that this would be easier somehow. I thought that
everyone would help me...with all my friends together beside me. I've been
trying so hard.

Tidus walks towards Yuna in the water.

Tidus: Maybe you're trying too hard. They told me...everything.

Yuna: Everything? Well, so then...you know.

Tidus: Yeah. I'm sorry. It's just you know...all those things I said. Like
"Let's go get Sin!" Or about Zanarkand... I didn't know what would happen to
you, Yuna. I guess...I hope it didn't make you sad. Forgive me.

Yuna: I wasn't sad. I was happy.

Tidus dives down the water and lays on the water.

Tidus: Yuna. Just don't do it.

Yuna: The pilgrimage?

Tidus stands up in the water.

Tidus: Yeah. That's right. Forget all about Sin, about being a summoner. Forget
all that. You know, live a normal life. Come on now, Yuna, what do you say?

Yuna: Maybe I will. Wouldn't everyone be surprised?

Tidus: Yeah. Except Rikku. She'd be with you. Lulu and Wakka wouldn't hold out
long.

Yuna: Kimahri would say yes, too, I know. But Sir Auron...

Tidus: I'll make him understand, Yuna. It's the least I can do for you.

Yuna: No, I should tell him. He deserves it.

Tidus and Yuna saw shining things rising up. Yuna is lying on the water.

Yuna: What'll I do if I give up my pilgrimage?

Tidus: Hey! Zanarkand! Let's go to Zanarkand! Not the one in Spira, the one I'm
from.

Yuna gets it.

Tidus: Yeah, we can all fly there. Everyone can go! Then we'll have a big party
at my place!

Yuna: And then we could see blitzball! Your Zanarkand Abes would play! We could
all watch you play, in the stadium all lit up at night. I'd cheer and cheer
till I couldn't cheer anymore!

Tidus: Right on!

Yuna: Well, what about after the game?

Tidus: We'd go out and have fun!

Yuna: In the middle of the night?

Tidus: No problem! Zanarkand never sleeps! Let's go to the sea, before the
sunrise. The city lights go out one by one. The star fade... It's kinda
rose-colored, right? First in the sea, then it spreads to the sky, then to the
whole city. It gets brighter and brighter, till everything glows. It's
really...pretty. I know you'd like it.

Yuna: I'd like to see it, someday.

Tidus: Well you can, Yuna. We can both go!

Tears starts coming out of Yuna.

Tidus: Yu...?

Yuna: I can't. I just can't! (about to cry) I can't go!

Yuna starts crying softly. We watch a movie of Yuna gently crying.

Tidus: Yuna.

Tidus comfortably hugs and kisses Yuna while diving down in the water. The song
Suteki Da Ne (Isn't It Wonderful?) plays. After that, they get out of the
water. Yuna stops crying.

Yuna: I'll continue. I must. If I give up now... I could do anything I wanted
to, and yet... Even if I was with you, I could never forget.

Tidus: I'll go with you. I'm your guardian. Unless I'm...fired?

Yuna: Stay with me until the end. Please.

Tidus: Not until the end... Always.

Yuna: Always, then.

Kimahri smiles after he heard Tidus and Yuna's conversation and leaves.

Yuna: Maybe you should head back to camp first.

Tidus: Roger!

Before Tidus could get back to where his other group...

Yuna: Wait. I'll go with you.

Tidus and Yuna hold hands and goes back to their group.

Yuna: Sir Auron? Wakka? Lulu? Kimahri? Rikku? Everyone, we leave at dawn.
And...I'm sorry for putting you through all this. And...um...

Auron: Enough. You need your rest.

Yuna: Yes. (to everyone) Good night.

The next morning, Tidus' group proceeds to The Calm Lands.

Lulu: The Calm Lands. Long ago, the high summoners fought Sin here. The road
ends here. Beyond, there're no towns, no villages. Only endless plains.

Auron: Many summoners stray from their path and lose their way here.

Yuna lies on the ground watching the sky.

Yuna: I've always known where to go.

Tidus: I... I won't let you die. I'll find a way, somehow.

Tidus helps Yuna get up.

Yuna: Let's go.

Tidus: (narrating) I told Yuna I would find a way. I guess I wanted to believe
that words could make it come true.

In the Central Area, a man appeared.

Lulu: Father Zuke!

Zuke: Long time no see. (to Yuna) You are Yuna? Hmm... You certainly don't look
like Maester Kinoc's murderer.

Wakka: (about to get mad) What'd you say?

Yuna: Please, tell us what has happened!

Zuke: Maester Mika just issued a personal order, you know. It said that you and
your guardians murdered Maester Kinoc and fled. We are to kill you on sight, or
so it says.

Auron: What of Bevelle?

Zuke: Things are calm on the surface, but the depths are turbulent. After the
death of Maester Kinoc, Kelk Ronso left Yevon.

Auron: Convenient. Getting around will be easier with Yevon in disarray.

Zuke: But be careful, my friends. You have been branded enemies of Yevon. You
should avoid temples for the time being.

Yuna: Thank you, Father Zuke, for your warning.

Lulu: Father, you came all the way here just to tell us this?

Zuke: To tell the truth, I was a little curious to see...this summoner you are
guarding. I hope her pilgrimage goes well. For your sake, too.

Lulu: Thank you, father.

Zuke: I shall be off. I shall pray for all of you.

Zuke left. After Tidus' group gets fully prepared, they move on to the next
area. In the next area with bridges...

Guado Guardian: Halt!

The Guado Guardians appeared.

Guado Guardian: Summons from Lord Seymour. Come with us!

Yuna: We have nothing to discuss with Maester Seymour!

Tidus: Yeah, so out of our way!

Guado Guardian: Lord Seymour's commands must be obeyed. You will come! I warn
you, the maester doesn't need you alive.

Suddenly, Defender X appeared. The Guado Guardians left. Tidus' group fights
Defender X. Tidus' group destroys Defender X and they move on. Yuna stops.

Tidus: (narrating) Sometimes Yuna would just stare off into the distance. I
finally understand why. She was saying goodbye to the places she'd never see
again.

Tidus' group proceeds to the entrance of Mt. Gagazet. Near the entrance, Tidus'
group, were surrounded by the Ronso.

Kelk: Summoner Yuna and guardians, leave here at once! Gagazet is Ronso land,
sacred mountain of Yevon. The mountain will not bear the footsteps of infidels!
Enemy of Yevon is enemy of Ronso! Leave, traitors!

Yuna: I have cast aside Yevon! I follow the temple no more!

Kelk: Then you will die by those words!

Yuna: So be it. Yevon has warped the teachings and betrayed us all!

Wakka: Nothing but a bunch of low-down tricksters, eh?

Tidus: Yeah! Yeah!

Rikku: Yeah! Yeah!

Yuna: We have no regrets.

Yenke: Blasphemers!

Kimahri tried to make his move on Biran, but he stopped himself.

Kelk: A summoner and her guardians...

Lulu: Lord Kelk Ronso, if I may. Have you not also turned your back on Bevelle?

Auron: But still, you guard Gagazet as a Ronso, not a maester. Yuna is much the
same.

Biran: Elder Kelk! Let Biran rend them asunder!

Yenke: No escape! Not one!

Yuna: No, we will not flee. We will fight, and continue on.

Kelk: You have been branded a traitor, but still you would fight Sin? Lost to
the temple, hated by the people, yet you continue your pilgrimage? Everything
lost! What do you fight for?

Yuna: I fight for Spira. The people long for the Calm. I can give it to them.
It's all I can give. Defeating Sin, ending pain...this I can do.

Kelk: Even sacrificing yourself? (to the Ronsos) Ronso, let them pass! (to
Yuna) Summoner Yuna, your will is stronger than steel. Tempered steel that even
the mightiest Ronso could not hope to bend. Yuna, we bow to your will! Now go!
The scared heights of Gagazet welcomes you.

Yuna: We thank you.

Tidus' group moves on. Then, Tidus' group, were stopped by Biran and Yenke.

Biran: Halt!

Tidus: Haven't you bothered us enough?

Biran: Summoner may pass. Guardians may pass. Kimahri not pass! Kimahri shame
Ronso brothers. Kimahri forget his birth.

Yenke: Forget his people, forget his mountain. Little Ronso! Weakling Ronso!

Biran: Mountain hate the weak, hate the small. If you will climb...

Kimahri: Then I must prove my strength!

Biran: Think you will win? You not forget who took your horn! Never forget!

Yenke: Kimahri never beat brother Biran! Never win!

Kimahri: This time, I win.  I will win!

Tidus: Why you...?

Kimahri calms Tidus down.

Tidus: This some kind of Ronso thing?

Kimahri: Kimahri problem.

Kimahri fights Biran and Yenke Ronso.

Biran: Biran rend you asunder!

Yenke: Hornless! Hornless!

Kimahri defeats Biran.

Yenke: You will pay for this!

Kimahri then defeats Yenke.

Yenke: You...win.

After this really long and tough battle...

Biran: Strong is Kimahri. Biran is happy. (voice echoes through the mountain)
Sacred Mount Gagazet! I honor the name of strong warrior who defeats Biran.
Remember always, Gagazet! That name is Kimahri!

Yenke: Mountain knows Kimahri strong. Kimahri may pass.

Biran: Summoner! We Ronso will stop pursuers from temple.

Yuna: Truly?

Biran: Penance for breaking Kimahri's horn, long ago.

Yenke: We crush enemies following behind.

Kimahri: Kimahri crush enemies standing before.

Biran: You are most fortunate summoner.

Yuna: I thank you.

Yenke: Ronso will shine your statue brightest.

Yuna: Thank you. But I fear that no one will make a statue for a traitor such
as I am.

Biran: Then Ronso will make!

Yenke: With grand horn on head!

Yuna: That would be wonderful.

Biran and Yenke left.

Tidus: (narrating) I wanted to see Yuna's statue, too. But I wanted to see
it...with Yuna on my side.

Tidus' group moves on. In the next area...

Biran: Summoner Yuna!

Tidus: What is it this time?

All of the Ronso are singing the hymn. Then after that, Tidus' group moves on
to the next area. In the next area...

Rikku: Zanarkand is on the other side, you know?

Tidus: I know.

Rikku: Yunie is gonna get the Final Aeon, you know?

Tidus: I know.

Rikku: I still haven't thought of anything.

Tidus: Me neither.

Rikku: What are we gonna do?

Tidus: We'll do something! We just don't know enough yet. Until we do, we
really can't help Yuna. Let's go to Zanarkand. We'll find something there.
It'll all come together. I know it!

Rikku: Hey... Just now, you sounded like a leader, you know?

Tidus: Star of the Zanarkand Abes! Didn't anyone tell you?

Rikku got startled when she saw someone. It is Seymour.

Seymour: Ah, the son of Jecht.

Tidus: Rikku, run ahead and tell Auron!

Rikku: You are not fighting him alone!

Tidus: Just go! Go!

Rikku runs along and warns the other group.

Seymour: Now is your time to die. Prepare yourself, son of Jecht.

Tidus: Not if I can help it!

Kimahri: Save some for Kimahri!

Tidus' group arrived for battle.

Seymour: Lady Yuna, it is a pleasure.

Lulu: Yuna!

Yuna tries the sending.

Seymour: A sending, so soon? Allow me to say something to the last Ronso before
I leave. Yours was...truly a gallant race. They threw themselves at me to bar
my path. One...after another...

Seymour shows his fist.

Kimahri: No...

Yuna: Kimahri...

Seymour: You could end the suffering of this poor Ronso.

Yuna: I don't understand you!

Seymour: Allow Kimahri to die, and release him from his pain. Spira...is a land
of suffering and sorrow caught in a spiral of death. To destroy-to heal-Spira,
I will become Sin. Yes, with your help.

Yuna looks startled.

Seymour: Come with me, Yuna. Once I have become the next Sin, your father will
be freed again.

Tidus got really furious.

Tidus: What do you know?

Seymour: Pitiful mortal.

Mortiorchis appeared and Seymour floats up and get on Mortiorchis.

Seymour: You hope ends here.

Seymour transforms into a demon.

Seymour: And your meaningless existence with it.

Tidus' group fights Seymour Flux. Yuna talks to Seymour.

Seymour: Do you not want to heal Spira's sorrow? Let death carry you off into
peaceful slumber.

Yuna: You can't run from your fate!

Yuna's Magic Defense increases. Kimahri talks to Seymour.

Kimahri: You have angered Kimahri! The spirits of the Ronso will guide
Kimahri's spear!

Kimahri's Strength increases. After Tidus' group defeats Seymour Flux...

Tidus: And stay up there!

Tidus' group moves on, but Yuna stops.

Yuna: He will become Sin...with my help.

Auron: Lies. Forget them.

Yuna: If he becomes Sin, Sir Jecht will be saved.

Auron: We're leaving.

Yuna: You know something! Tell me! (to Tidus) Tell me!

Tidus: Sin's...my old man.

Wakka: You hit your head?

Tidus: Sin is my old man. My old man became Sin! I don't know how or why he did
it. I felt him, inside. And when I did, I knew it was true. My old man is
Spira's suffering. Sorry.

Yuna: Even...knowing that Sin is your father... Still, you know, I must...

Tidus: I know. Let's get him. I think my old man would want that.

Lulu: You'd fight your own father?

Tidus: Yeah. No problem there.

Wakka: Uh... 'Bout your old man... You sure this ain't some kinda bad toxin
dream or something? Then, Chappu... I, uh... I think I'll just pretend I didn't
hear nothing. I'm getting a little confused, ya? Why... Why'd all this have to
happen?

Auron: We'll learn when we arrive. Soon.

Tidus' group proceeds to the next area near the Caverns of Darkness. Near the
entrance...

Yuna: Wow!

We watch a movie of Tidus' group in a strange area.

Wakka: Wh-What are those?

Yuna: Those are fayth. A summoning! Someone is using these fayth! Someone is
drawing energy from all of them!

Rikku: This many?

Lulu: Who wields power on this scale, and what could they be calling?

Rikku: (to Auron) Hey, you know something, don't you? Spill the beans!

Auron: Look not to others for knowledge. This is your journey, too.

Rikku: Yunie might die, you know?

Tidus: No... Auron's right.

Rikku: Huh?

Tidus: This is our... This is my story.

Tidus touches a force field near bodies on walls and suddenly, a flash appeared
on the screen. The screen switches to Tidus in Zanarkand docks.

Tidus: Eh?

Tidus goes inside the boat. In there, he saw the hooded character, which is
actually fayth.

Fayth: Welcome home.

Tidus: You...

Fayth: Remember me? We met in Bevelle.

Tidus: Yeah.

Fayth: But that wasn't the first time we met. I've known about you for a long
time. A long, long time.

Tidus: I...I feel like I know you, too. Where are we?

Fayth: Silly, don't recognize your own home?

Tidus can hear Wakka's voice.

Wakka: What's gotten into you? Hey!

Tidus can hear Rikku's voice.

Rikku: Wake up! Wake up!

Tidus: Wait...this is a dream.

Fayth: Precisely.

Tidus: A dream? Are you crazy? I don't have time to be dreaming now!

Fayth: You're wrong. It's not that you're dreaming. You are a dream.

Tidus: Huh? Wait a sec.

Tidus follow fayth outside the boat. In the top section of the boat...

Fayth: Long ago, there was a war.

Tidus: Yeah, with machina, right?

Fayth: Yes. A war between Zanarkand and Bevelle. Bevelle's machina assured
their victory from the start. Spira had never seen such power. The summoners of
Zanarkand didn't stand a chance. Zanarkand was doomed to oblivion. That's why
we tried to save it-if only in a memory.

Tidus: What did you do?

Fayth: The remaining summoners and the townspeople that survived the war...
They all became fayth-fayth for the summoning.

Tidus: The summoning... You mean Sin?

Fayth: No. I mean this place. A Zanarkand that never sleeps.

Tidus: What?

Fayth: The dreams of the fayth summoned the memories of the city. They summoned
all the buildings, all the people who lived there.

Tidus: The people... What, they're all dreams? Me, too?

Fayth: Yes, you're a dream of the fayth. You, your father, your mother,
everyone. All dreams. And if the fayth stop dreaming...

The screen flashes, revealing the destruction of Zanarkand.

Tidus: No! So what if I'm a dream! I..I like being here.

Fayth: We've been dreaming so long...we're tired.

Fayth appeared on the other side.

Fayth: Would you and your father... Would you let us rest? Both you and your
father have been touched by Sin. Sin, the one around whom all Spira-the
spiral-revolves.

Tidus: What are you saying?

Fayth: You two are more than just dreams now.

Tidus can hear Yuna's voice.

Yuna: Wake up! Wake up, please!

Fayth: Just a little more, and maybe... Maybe you are the dream that will end
our dreaming at last.

The dream ended. Tidus woke up.

Yuna: Are you all right?

Rikku: Hey! We were so worried about you!

Lulu: You okay?

Tidus: I...I'm okay.

Yuna: What happened?

Tidus: Nothing... I blacked out. I was dreaming. You called me...and I woke up.

Tidus stretches and yawns.

Tidus: Nothing like a good nap! Well, I'm ready. Let's go!

Tidus' group goes inside the Caverns of Darkness. Inside, they solve the puzzle
there in order to get through. In the next area...

Auron: They'll be upon us soon. She has sent fiends to test our summoner's
strength.

Yuna: Who is "she"?

Auron: Yunalesca.

Yuna: Lady Yunalesca?

Auron: In Zanarkand, she awaits the arrival of the strongest.

Yuna: She...is still alive?

Auron: As much as Mika and Seymour.

Yuna: I see.

Auron: Lost your nerve?

Yuna: No. Nothing frightens me now.

Auron: Braska would be proud.

Yuna: Then...I must not let him down.

Tidus' group encounters a monster.

Auron: It comes!

Tidus' group fights Sanctuary Keeper. After Tidus' group defeats Sanctuary
Keeper...

Rikku: Hey! Can't we rest a little?

Auron: No need. We reach the summit soon.

Rikku: I know, that's why I want to stop for a bit. Soon means that...there's
not much time left.

Yuna: Rikku...

Rikku: Fine. I'll think on my way.

Later...

Wakka: (to Tidus) Hey, come on, let's go.

Tidus: We are almost there, aren't we?

Wakka: We've come a long way.

Auron laughs.

Tidus: What's so funny?

Auron: You remind me of myself. Before, the closer I came to Zanarkand, the
more I wondered...when we arrive, Braska will call the Final Aeon... He will
fight Sin, then die. I thought my mind was made up long before. But when I
stood here, my resolve wavered.

Wakka: Huh, never would've figured. Legendary guardians choke sometimes, too,
ya?

Auron: Legendary guardian? I was just a boy. A boy about your age, actually. I
wanted to change the world, too. But I changed nothing. That is my story.

Auron moves on. Tidus follows his group and we watch a movie of the Zanarkand
Ruins.

Tidus: (narrating) A city dead for a thousand years. A city I had to see with
my own eyes. The end of Yuna's journey. The last chapter in my story. My
thoughts, they kept floating up, and then slipping through my fingers. Slipping
away before I could pin them down with words.

Later...

Rikku: Yuna, I say no! If we go down there, then you'll...

Yuna: Rikku... You're a true friend, and I thank you, but... I must go...down,
to Zanarkand.

Rikku: I'm not saying we shouldn't go. But shouldn't we think about it some
more? There's gotta be some kind of way we can save you, Yuna!

Yuna: All my life, I knew this moment would come.

Rikku: Yunie...

Yuna rushes to Rikku and embraces Rikku. Yuna didn't notice that she dropped
the recording sphere.

Yuna: (comforting Rikku) Thank you, Rikku. Thank you for everything.

Rikku: (laying her head on Yuna as if she was going to cry) Don't say that,
Yunie! It's not over yet!

Yuna: Tell Cid thank you.

Rikku: No... You can tell him yourself.

Yuna: Please...

Rikku: Yunie, don't say that because...we're gonna see each other again, okay?

The screen blacks out.

Yuna: Kimahri, let's go.

Tidus picks up the sphere dropped by Yuna and played it. In the recording, Yuna
records her speaking.

Yuna: Sir Auron. Kimahri told me...when my father wanted me taken from Bevelle
to Besaid... It was you who told Kimahri, right? I had always wanted to meet
you someday. I am truly glad that I had that chance. Having you as a guardian
was so great an honor I don't know how to thank you. Perhaps if I defeat Sin,
that will be my thanks to you. That's what I'll do. Yes. I will challenge Sin.
I will defeat Sin. If you are all there watching this, then I guess Sin is
already gone. And so am I, I suppose. Anyway, I just wanted to say: Sir Auron,
I thank you. Kimahri... Do you remember the first day we met? I was only seven.
My father had defeated Sin, and all Bevelle was celebrating. Everyone was
saying what a hero my father was. I was so happy. But when night came, it
occurred to me. My father had defeated Sin and now he was dead. Now, I was all
alone. I couldn't sleep, so I wandered into the town, away from the celebrating
crowds. I stood on the bridge in Bevelle where my father and I had parted.
Standing there, alone, I could see the fields where he had fought Sin. Then,
you appeared, Kimahri. You said you were looking for the daughter of Braska,
remember? At first, I was so scared. Until I realized what a gentle person you
are. (giggling) You weren't used to talking to children. When I told you I was
Braska's daughter...you said you would take me as far from Bevelle as you
would. That it was the wish of a man facing death. I think...I cried then.
Because that...that was then I knew my father was dead...and I would never see
him again. You just held me, without saying a word. I cried after we got to
Besaid, too. When you tried to go after leaving me in care of the temple...I
held on to you, crying, "Don't go, don't go!" And you listened, Kimahri. You
stayed. Kimahri, thank you. Thank you so much. And I've always liked your
broken horn. Wakka, Lulu: I'll never forget my days spent with you, growing up
in Besaid. We always played together, us and Chappu. That's why I was always so
happy, I think. And when you refused to let me become a summoner and I did it
anyway...I'm sorry. I've always wanted to apologize. You know, when you tried
to stop me then-really, I was happy. I could tell you really cared about me.
You were like my big brother and sister. No... I think you really were my big
brother and sister. What else... (giggling) I love watching you play blitzball,
Wakka. (giggling) I even love it when you scold me, Lulu! Really! I guess that
leaves...the newest guardian. Star player of the Zanarkand Abes! You are... I
am... Well, um... I'm glad...I'm glad that we met. We haven't even known each
other that long, but... It's funny. So this is what it feels like. It's a much
more wonderful feeling than anything I had ever imagined. Wonderful...but it
hurts, sometimes. I wonder. I...I just want to say, thank you for everything.
Maybe...maybe that's why it hurts. When I... When I think about us never being
together again at all... I'm afraid. No, I shouldn't say that. I'll do that
part over. Um...

Tidus: Whatcha up to?

The recording ended. Tidus catches up with his group. Later, Tidus' group
campfires and Tidus gets up, stands on the hill.

Tidus: (narrating) Listen to my story. This may be our last chance.

Later that night...

Tidus: Hey! There was more, right? I mean like that time...uh... Anyone?

Yuna: I think...

Tidus: Yes?

Yuna: I think we should stop...maybe. For now.

Later, everyone gets up from campfire and moves on.

Yuna: Let's go.

Tidus catches up with his group. Later while moving on, Tidus' group saw
something from a distance.

Wakka: Looks like the Farplane.

Auron: Close enough.

Tidus' group moves on. In the entrance of Zanarkand Dome...

Spiritual Man: Journeyer of the long road, name yourself.

Yuna: I am the summoner Yuna. I have come from the island of Besaid.

Spiritual Man: Your eyes, my dear. Show me the long road you have traveled.
Very good. You have journeyed well. Lady Yunalesca will surely welcome your
arrival. Go to her now, and bring your guardians with you. Go.

Inside the Dome, two spiritual guards appeared.

Spiritual Guard: If it might benefit the future of Spira, I will gladly give my
life. It is the highest honor for which a guardian might ask. Use my life, Lady
Yocun, and rid Spira of Sin.

The spiritual guards disappeared.

Rikku: (scared) What...what was that?

Auron: Our predecessors.

Lulu: She said "Lady Yocun," didn't she? Wait! She guarded High Summoner Yocun?

Auron: This dome is filled with pyreflies. It's like one gigantic sphere.
People's thoughts remain here. Forever.

Tidus' group moves on. In the next area, an image of Seymour when he's a kid
and his mother appeared.

Young Seymour: No! Mother, no! I don't want you to become a fayth!

Seymour's Mother: There is no other way. Use me and defeat Sin. Only then will
the people accept you.

Young Seymour: I don't care about them! I need you, mother! No one else!

Seymour's Mother: I don't have much time left.

Seymour and his mother disappeared.

Wakka: Hey, wasn't that...?

Rikku: Seymour?

Tidus' group moves on. Later, they saw images of Braska, Auron when he's young,
and Jecht.

Tidus: Ah!

Jecht: Hey, Braska. You don't have to do this.

Braska: Thank you for your concern.

Jecht: Fine, I said my piece.

Young Auron: Well, I haven't! Lord Braska, let us go back! I don't want to see
you...die!

Braska: You knew this was to happen, my friend.

Young Auron: Yes, but I...I cannot accept it.

Braska: Auron, I am honored that you care for me so. But I have come to kill
grief itself. I will defeat Sin, and lift the veil of sorrow covering Spira.
Please understand, Auron.

In the next area, they see the images of the trios again.

Jecht: Are the trials ahead?

Braska: Probably.

Jecht: Here too, huh? Gimme a break. I was expecting, you know, parades
and...fireworks!

Braska: You can ask for them after I defeat Sin.

In the next area... Tidus' group solves another puzzle in the Cloister of
Trials.  Then, they fight Spectral Keeper. After Tidus' group defeats Spectral
Keeper, the platform appeared.

Auron: Yuna... We're here.

Yuna: The hall of the Final Summoning.

Auron: Go.

Yuna: Yes.

Yuna goes down and a voice from Jecht is heard.

Jecht: Huh? What do you mean no Final Aeon?

Yuna goes up.

Yuna: Sir Auron! Everyone!

Tidus' group gets on the platform. In the lower level...

Yuna: This isn't a fayth. It's just an empty statue.

The spiritual man appeared.

Spiritual Man: That statue lost its power as a fayth long ago. It is Lord Zaon,
the first fayth of the Final Summoning. What you see before you is all that
remains of him. Lord Zaon is...his soul is gone.

Wakka: Gone!?

Rikku: You mean, there is no Final Aeon?

Spiritual Man: But fear not. Lady Yunalesca will show you the path. The Final
Aeon will be yours. The summoner and the Final Aeon will join powers. Go to her
now. Inside, the lady awaits.

The spiritual man disappeared.

Tidus: Yuna, wait! (to Auron) Auron, you knew this was going to happen, didn't
you?

Auron: Yes.

Rikku: Why didn't you tell us!?

Auron: If I had told you the truth, would that really have stopped you from
coming?

Kimahri: Yuna.

Yuna: I'm not going back.

Kimahri: Kimahri knows. Kimahri goes first. Yuna is safe. Kimahri protect.

Tidus' group goes inside the Great Hall. In there...

Rikku: Someone's coming!

Yunalesca appeared.

Yuna: Lady Yunalesca.

Yunalesca: Welcome to Zanarkand. I congratulate you, summoner. You have
completed your pilgrimage. I will now bestow you with that which you seek. The
Final Summoning...will be yours. Now, choose. You must choose the one whom I
will change...to become the fayth of the Final Summoning.

Tidus' group gasp.

Yunalesca: There must be a bond, between chosen and summoner, for that is what
the Final Summoning embodies: the bond between husband and wife, mother and
child, or between friends. If that bond is strong enough, its light will
conquer Sin. A thousand years ago, I chose my husband Zaon as my fayth. Our
bond was true, and I obtained the Final Aeon. There is nothing to fear. You
will soon be freed of worry and pain. For once you call forth the Final Aeon,
your life will end. Death is the ultimate and final liberation. Your father,
Braska, chose this path.

Yunalesca left. Then the screen shows the images of Braska, Jecht, and Auron.

Young Auron: It is not too late! Let us turn back!

Braska: If I turn back, who will defeat Sin? Would you have some other summoner
and his guardians go through this?

Young Auron: But...my lord, there must be another way!

Jecht: This is the only way we got now! Fine. Make me the fayth. I been doing
some thinking. My dream is back in the other Zanarkand. I wanted to make that
runt into a star blitz player. Show him the view from the top, you know. But
now I know there's no way home for me. I'm never going to see him again. My
dream's never gonna come true. So make me the fayth. I'll fight Sin with you,
Braska. Then maybe my life will have meaning, you know.

Young Auron: Don't do this, Jecht! If you live...there may be another way!
We'll think of something, I know!

Jecht: Believe me, I thought this through. Besides... I ain't gettin' any
younger, so I might as well make myself useful.

Braska: Jecht.

Jecht: What! You're not gonna try to stop me, too?

Braska: Sorry, I mean...thank you.

Jecht: Braska still has to fight Sin, Auron. Guard him well. Make sure he gets
there. Well, let's go.

Young Auron: Lord Braska! Jecht!

Jecht: What do you want now?

Young Auron: Sin always comes back. It comes back after the Calm every time!
The cycle will continue and your deaths will mean nothing.

Braska: But there's always a chance it won't come back this time. It's worth
trying.

Jecht: I understand what you're saying, Auron. I'll find a way to break the
cycle.

Young Auron: You have a plan?

Braska: Jecht?

Jecht: Trust me, I'll think of something.

Jecht laughs. Auron swings his sword at the image of himself.

Auron: And the cycle went on.

Tidus: We'll break it!

Wakka: But how? What, you got a plan now?

Lulu: If one of us has to become a fayth... I volunteer.

Wakka: Me too, Yuna!

Tidus: That still won't change anything, you know? You'd bring the Calm, and
then what? That won't break the cycle!

Wakka: Listen... You wanna defeat Sin and keep Yuna alive... You don't want Sin
to come back, ya? That is just not gonna happen, brudda, you know?

Lulu: If you want everything, you'll end up with nothing.

Tidus: But I want everything!

Wakka: Now you're being childish!

Tidus: I give up. So what would an adult do, then? They know they can just
throw away a summoner, then they can do whatever they like. You're right. I
might not even have a chance. But no way am I gonna just stand here and let
Yuna go. And what Auron said about there being a way... I think it's true.

Rikku: "You'll think of something"?

Tidus: I'll go ask Yunalesca. She's got to know something.

Rikku: You really think she'll help you?

Tidus: I don't know, but I have to try. This is my story. It'll go the way I
want it...or I'll end it here.

Yuna: Wait. You say it's your story, but it's my story, too, you know? It would
be so easy...to let my fate just carry me away...following this same path my
whole life through. But I know...I can't. What I do, I do...with no regrets.
Tidus' group moves on to the next area. In The Beyond, Yunalesca appeared.

Yunalesca: Have you chosen the one to become your fayth? Who will it be?

Yuna: Might I ask something first? Will Sin come back even should I use the
Final Summoning to defeat it?

Yunalesca: Sin is eternal. Every aeon that defeats it becomes Sin in its
place... And thus is Sin reborn.

Tidus: So that's why Jecht became Sin.

Yunalesca: Sin is an inevitable part of Spira's destiny. It is neverending.

Wakka: Neverending? But...but...if we atone for our crimes, Sin will stop
coming back, ya? Someday, it'll be gone, ya?

Yunalesca: Will humanity ever attain such purity?

Lulu: This...this cannot be! The teachings state that we can exorcise Sin with
complete atonement! It's been our only hope all these years!

Yunalesca: Hope is...comforting. It allows us to accept fate, however tragic it
might be.

Tidus: No!

Auron: No!

The image of Auron when he's young appeared.

Young Auron: Where is the sense in all this? Braska believed in Yevon's
teachings and died for them! Jecht believed in Braska and gave his life for him!

Yunalesca: They chose to die...because they had hope.

Auron tries to attack Yunalesca, but Yunalesca KO'd the image Auron. Yunalesca
speaks to Tidus' group.

Yunalesca: Yevon's teachings and the Final Summoning give the people of Spira
hope. Without hope, they would drown in their sorrow. Now, choose. Who will be
your fayth? Who will be the one to renew Spira's hope?

Yuna: No one. I would have gladly died. I live for the people of Spira, and
would have gladly died for them. But no more! The Final Summoning...is a false
tradition that should be thrown away.

Yunalesca: No. It's our only hope. Your father sacrificed himself to give that
hope to the people. So they would forget sorrow.

Yuna: Wrong. My father... My father wanted...to make Spira's sorrow go away.
Not just cover it up with lies!

Yunalesca: Sorrow cannot be abolished. It is meaningless to try.

Yuna: My father... I loved him. So I...  I will live with my sorrow, I will
live my own life! I will defeat sorrow, in his place. I will stand my ground
and be strong. I don't know when it will be but someday, I will conquer it. And
I will do it without...false hope.

Yunalesca: Poor creature. You would throw away hope. Well... I will free you
before you can drown in your sorrow. It is better for you to die in hope than
to live in despair. Let me be your liberator.

Yunalesca prepares to fight Tidus' group.

Auron: Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or
live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is
in your hands!

Kimahri: Yuna needs Kimahri. Kimahri protect Yuna.

Rikku: Well, I'm fighting!

Wakka: I can't believe we're gonna fight Lady Yunalesca! Gimme a break!

Lulu: You can always run.

Wakka: Hah! I'd never forgive myself-no way! Not if I ran away now. Even in
death, ya!

Lulu: My thoughts exactly.

Tidus: Yuna! This is our story! Now let's see this thing through together.

Yuna nodded "yes". Tidus' group fights Yunalesca. After they defeat the 1st
form, Evo appeared. After Tidus' group defeats Evo's 1st form, Evo transform
into the most powerful form. After Tidus' group defeats Evo and Yunalesca...

Yunalesca: If I die, so does the Final Aeon. And with it, Spira's only hope.

Tidus: Then we'll find Spira a new hope!

Yunalesca: Fool. There is no other way. Even if there was... Even if you did
destroy Sin... Yu Yevon the immortal would only create Sin anew.

Tidus: Yu Yevon!?

Yunalesca: Ah... Zaon... Forgive me... Spira has been robbed of the light of
hope... All that remains is sorrow.

Yunalesca died and her body disappeared.

Yuna: I cannot believe what we just did.

Tidus: Let's do something more unbelievable.

Rikku: What?

Tidus: Destroy Sin. So it won't come back, and without the Final Aeon. I don't
know how just yet. But I'll find out.

Tidus' group is on their way out. Auron stops and talks to Tidus.

Auron: We must talk.

Tidus: What?

Auron: There is something you should know.

Tidus: I know...it's about you, right?

Auron: I am also an unsent. You are not surprised?

Tidus: I think I kinda knew. It was Yunalesca, wasn't it?

Auron: When Braska and Jecht died defeating Sin... I just couldn't accept it. I
came back here...tried to avenge them. But she struck me down. Somehow I made
my way, crawling, down Mount Gagazet. But my strength left me just outside
Bevelle. That's where Kimahri found me. I told him about Yuna...just before I
died. I've been wandering ever since, never going to the Farplane.

Tidus: Auron...

Auron: Don't make that face. Being dead has its advantages. I was able to ride
Sin and go to your Zanarkand.

Tidus: And you've been watching over me since then, haven't you? Why? What's
the big idea? Why me?

Auron: It is one of those things that is difficult to explain. Very well, I
will show you. My memories.

The screen switches to the memories of Auron.

Jecht: Can I ask you one last favor? Uh... Nah. Never mind.

Auron: Out with it!

Jecht: Okay. Listen good. Take care of my son. My son, in Zanarkand. He's such
a crybaby. He needs someone there to hold his hand, see? Take care of him, will
you?

Auron: But how am I supposed to go to Zanarkand?

Jecht: Hey! You said it yourself! There must be a way to get there, right?
You'll find it.

Auron: All right, I will! I give you my word. I'll take care of your son. I'll
guard him with my life.

Jecht: Thanks, Auron. You were always such a stiff, but that's what I liked
about you.

The memory ended.

Auron: That is why.

Tidus' group exits the dome. Outside, we watch a movie of Sin looking at Tidus.

Tidus: (wandering) Dad? I know. The Final Summoning's gone. But I'll think of
something! Just give me a little more time!

We watch a movie of Sin moving away and the airship appeared and picked up
Tidus' group. Inside the airship...

Brother: Frana du huf? (Where to now?)

Cid: (to Tidus' group) Aren't we the happy lookin' bunch.

Brother: Frana? Frana? (Where? Where?)

Rikku: "Where, where?" That all you can say? Why don't you think of something!?

Auron: Well? Any good ideas?

Tidus: Come on, help us!

Auron: What do we know... Sin is Jecht. Thus, you have a link...a bond with
Sin. That may be our key.

Tidus: So what do we do?

Auron: We think, and we wait.

Tidus: Two things I'm bad at.

Yuna then prayed toward Cid and Cid looks sad. Yuna and Kimahri went to the
other room in the airship. Tidus finds Yuna at the cabin and talks to her.

Yuna: I'm no good at all.

Tidus: What are you talking about?

Yuna: All this time, I've been thinking about how to defeat Sin. But I...
Beyond the teachings of Yevon. I...I know nothing. I'm sorry.

Kimahri: Yuna, no apologies.

Yuna: Huh?

Kimahri: Apology is running. Yuna never run away.

Yuna: Thank you, Kimahri.

Tidus: So, uh, Kimahri... You got any good ideas?

Kimahri: Yevon's teachings.

Yuna: The teachings won't help us fight Sin.

Kimahri: No answer in the teachings, answers lie outside. Must know both sides
to find answer.

Yuna: Both sides...

Kimahri: Mika knows much. Find him, make him talk.

Tidus: That's it! Kimahri! You rock!

Tidus returns to the bridge. In the bridge...

Wakka: Hey, guys! I just had a great idea!

Rikku: It was my idea. Let me tell them!

Wakka: It's like this, ya?

Rikku: (blocks Wakka's way) I just thought!

Lulu: The hymn is the key.

Tidus: The Hymn?

Lulu: Sir Jecht likes the Hymn of the Fayth, correct?

Tidus: Yeah.

Rikku: That's why he was listening to it in Macalania!

Lulu: Sin...violence incarnate, listening peacefully.

Wakka: I know it's your old man, and I don't mean no disrespect, but...

Tidus: No, it's fine. I've gotten used to it.

Lulu: Let me say it. If we attack Sin head-on, we've little chance of winning.
However, if he hears the Hymn of the Fayth, he will become docile.

Wakka: Yeah, and that's when we make our move! Might be against the rules and
all, but who's keeping track, ya? Ya?

Rikku: Yeah! It could really work!

Tidus: Yeah... Yeah, it's worth a try!

Tidus talks to Cid.

Cid: Well, that sounds like a plan to me! My baby here'll take us anywhere we
want!

Tidus tells Cid to pilot the airship to Bevelle. In Bevelle...

Soldier: Infidel!

The soldiers point their guns at Tidus' group.

Wakka: Man, don't these guys ever give up?

Soldier: You'll regret showing your face here! We'll strike you down in the
name of Yevon!

Tidus: Blah, blah, blah. Yeah, so? Guys?

Rikku: If they want a fight, let's give 'em one!

Soldier: Prepare to charge!

Then, Shelinda appeared.

Shelinda: Stop!

Soldier: Captain?

Shelinda: Lady Yuna is not to be harmed! She's no traitor! That is an evil
rumor spread by the Al Bhed!

Rikku: What?

Shelinda: Maester Mika himself told me.

Soldier: Then...what are we to do?

Rikku: Stand down!

Shelinda: As she says!

The soldiers left the scene.

Rikku: What was that about evil Al Bhed?

Shelinda: I... Truly, I do not understand it myself. All Yevon seems to be in a
state of confusion. Why yesterday they called me out of the blue and made me
captain of the guard!

Auron: Short on believers?

Shelinda: Yes, the chaos in the temples is worse than I'd imagined. It's
horrible! And all the priests do is blame each other. I worry what will become
of Yevon. But no! I must be the rock that stands against the swirling tides,
right? Lady Yuna, I must tell you, your courage has been a great inspiration to
me.

Tidus: Yeah, that's great, but we came here to see Maester Mika. Is he here?

Shelinda: Yes, I shall arrange an audience. Please wait in the courtroom.

Shelinda left.

Rikku: Hey, hey, wait! What was all that about the Al Bhed lying and stuff?

Auron: Simple. Yuna has become Mika's only hope.

Rikku: Oh... Okay.

Lulu: Just what does he think he can get away with?

Tidus: Time to teach him some manners!

Yuna: Yes, let's.

In the courtroom...

Mika: Why are you here? You must go and defeat Sin, quickly! You have obtained
the Final Aeon from Yunalesca, have you not?

Tidus: Well, we did meet her.

Yuna: We fought and defeated her.

Mika: What!

Auron: Summoners and guardians will be sacrificed for the Final Summoning no
more!

Mika: You have profaned and subverted a thousand-year-old tradition? Fools!
Infants! Do you realize what you've done? You've taken away the only means of
calming Sin!

Tidus: Hey, maybe that's not the only way! We think we've got another.

Mika: Why... Preposterous! There is no other way!

Auron: The grand maester, running away?

Mika: Spira has lost its only hope. Destruction is inevitable. Yu Yevon's
spiral of death will consume us all. I have no desire to watch Spira die.

Yuna: It won't die!

Tidus: Who is this Yu Yevon guy?

Lulu: Lady Yunalesca also mentioned him.

Rikku: Wait, gramps! Who's Yu Yevon?

Mika: He who crafts the souls of the dead into unholy armor. An armor called
Sin. Clad in it, Yu Yevon is invincible. And the only thing that could have
pierced that armor, you have destroyed! Nothing can stop it now.

Mika disappears.

Wakka: Disappear on us, will ya? Rotten son of a shoopuf!

Shelinda appeared.

Shelinda: Where...where is the grand maester?

Yuna: He, um...

Auron: He's not here yet. How long must we wait?

Shelinda: That's odd... I'll go look for His Grace.

Tidus and Yuna suddenly saw fayth.

Fayth: Come, to my room.

Yuna: Okay.

Fayth disappear.

Wakka: Who you talking to?

Tidus: Oh. Uh, no one.

Yuna: I must go see the fayth.

Auron: I see.

In the room of the fayth...

Fayth: Hello.

Yuna: I must thank you for the aeon.

Tidus: So, what's up?

Fayth: So, have you found a way to truly defeat Sin?

Tidus: Well... I think so.

Fayth: Well?

Tidus: We fight Yu Yevon.

Fayth: Yes... If you defeat Yun Yevon, it will end. Tell me, what do you know
about Yu Yevon?

Tidus: He's what makes Sin come back!

Yuna: Sin is his armor. It protects him.

Fayth: Yu Yevon was once a summoner, long ago. He was peerless. Yet now he
lives for one purpose: only to summon. He is neither good, nor evil. He is
awake, yet he dreams. But...maybe not forever.

Tidus: Yeah, that's right. Because we're ending it.

Fayth: Yes. Even if you defeat Sin with the Final Summoning, Yu Yevon will
live. Yu Yevon will join with the Final Aeon. He will transform it into a new
Sin.

Yuna: Yu Yevon merges with the aeon...

Fayth: Then, protected by this new Sin he has created, Yu Yevon continues the
summoning.

Tidus: For eternity...huh?

Fayth: But you know, there is no such thing as eternity if you end it, is there?

Tidus: Uh-huh.

Fayth: Yu Yevon lives inside Sin. Yuna, listen. When you fight Yu Yevon, we
will help you. Promise me you'll summon us. I'm afraid your swords and magic
won't be enough. Please, call us. Promise?

Yuna: Yes.

Fayth: But, you know... When it is all over...we will wake, and our dream will
end. Our dream will vanish.

Tidus: Yeah. You've been dreaming a long time, haven't you?

Fayth: I'm sorry.

Tidus: I'm grateful.

Fayth disappears.

Yuna: About what?

Tidus: Oh, nothing. Hey, don't make that face! Come on! We're going to beat
Sin! Let's see some cheer, okay?

Yuna: You're hiding something.

Tidus: I'm not!

Yuna: Really?

Tidus left.

Yuna: You're a bad liar, you know?

Later, Tidus and Yuna catches up with his group.

Shelinda: I'm afraid the grand maester is nowhere to be found!

Tidus: S'okay, we were just leaving.

Shelinda: Oh...I see.

Rikku: Hey! Maybe you could help us with the hymn.

Tidus: Hey, good idea!

Rikku: It's like, we need you to tell as many people as you can.

Shelinda: What should I tell them?

Rikku: A ship in the sky will sing the Hymn of the Fayth. When they hear it, we
need everyone to sing along!

Wakka: Everyone in Spira!

Shelinda: I'm not sure I understand.

Rikku: You don't have to! Just tell everyone!

Shelinda: A ship in the sky will sing the Hymn of the Fayth? So when they hear
it, everyone should sing along, correct?

Tidus: If they do, we might be able to defeat Sin!

Shelinda: Truly?

Yuna: Yes!

Shelinda: That's wonderful! You can count on me! I shall tell all of Spira!

Tidus' group got back in the airship. Tidus talks to Cid.

Cid: The final showdown with Sin! I say let's get this show on the road!

Tidus chose the destination to Sin.

Cid: Well, this is it, eh?

Tidus: Yu Yevon's hiding somewhere inside Sin, and we're gonna find him.

Cid: Well, that sounds pretty simple.

Tidus: Hey! Simple is the way you like it, right?

Cid: You got that right.

Rikku: Pops! I'm countin' on you!

Cid: Right, got you covered!

Cid activates the hymn. The music starts playing with the singing.

Cid: How's that?

Rikku: Right on!

Lulu: A singing ship in the sky.

Wakka: I hope everyone got the message.

Brother: Sin!

We watch a movie of the brother looking at Sin from the airship.

Tidus: All right, we're going in!

Wakka: How we gonna get inside?

Tidus: The easy way! How else?

Rikku: Figures.

Lulu: Well? Let's go!

Tidus' group moves on. Before Tidus could leave...

Cid: Hey, how you plan on getting inside?

Tidus: If we can't get through the mouth, we'll rip open a new one! You with me?

Cid laughs.

Cid: Now that's what I called a plan!

The brother gets up and talks to Cid.

Brother: Vydran! E ghuf fryd du ima! (Father! I know what to use!)

Cid: Aha! Of course!

Tidus: Of course!

Cid: All right! We'll give that thing a new blowhole. All you gotta do is jump!

Tidus: Roger!

Cid: I won't tell ya to be careful. Do your worst, kiddo!

Tidus: Roger!

Brother: Fyed! (Wait!) (clears his throat) Rikku, you...guard.

Tidus: Will do!

Tidus' group proceeds to the cabin. They take the platform up and outside...

Rikku: I can hear the song!

Lulu: Yes, I can hear the Hymn, too.

Rikku: They listened to us!

Tidus: We won't let them down!

Tidus: Yuna? (pulls out Yuna's sphere) You don't need this anymore, right?
Right?

Tidus threw the sphere overboard. Yuna nodded "no" for answer. Suddenly, there
was a shaking.

Wakka: Hey, guys? Guys? That's not good, ya?

We watch a movie of Sin shooting out a Graviton. The Graviton absorbed some of
the water and lands. Tidus' group watches in fear. We watch another movie of
Rikku looking at the water guttered. Suddenly, water went through the gutter.
The Earth showed a line of destruction to the land.

Tidus: Damn you, old man...

Cid: (talking in radio contact) Hey, I saw somethin' shine at the base of Sin's
arm! I reckon it's a weak spot!

There was a shaking.

Brother: Cruud! (Shoot!)

Cid: Fryd, fryd? (What, what?)

Brother: Fa yna bimmat po Sin! (We are pulled by Sin!)

Rikku: Sin's pulling us in!

Cid: Everyone, back inside!

Brother: Duu myda! Ed lusac! (Too late! It comes!)

Tidus' group fights Left Fin. After Tidus' group defeats Left Fin...

Cid: Here goes! Everyone, hold on to something! Here we go!

We watch a movie of the airship readying the cannon and they shoot at Sin's
Left Fin. The Left Fin got shot off.

Tidus: Got it!

Cid: Couldn't have done it without you! All right! Everyone look sharp! Time to
hit the other side!

Rikku: Easy for you to say!

Tidus' group fights Right Fin. After Tidus' group defeats Right Fin...

Cid: Nayto? Vena! (Ready? Fire!)

We watch a movie of the airship shooting off the Right Fin.

Cid: Yeehaw! Where next?

Brother: Ed ec ujan. (It is over.)

Cid: Fryd? Fa ryja uhmo pakih! (What? We have only begun!)

Brother: Pid dra syeh kih, ed ec pnugah! (But the main gun, it is broken!)

Cid: Dr-Dryd lyhhud pa! (Th-That cannot be!)

Rikku: The main gun's busted!

Cid: Dang it! All right, back inside! Time for another plan!

Tidus: No! We're going in! Every blitzer knows: when you got the ball, you
gotta score!

Kimahri: On my honor as Ronso!

Kimahri jumps off and lands on Sin.

Tidus: Hey! Star players first!

Tidus' group jumps off the airship and lands on Sin. Tidus' group fights Sin
and Sinspawn Genais. After Tidus' group defeats them, we watch a movie of
Tidus' group getting back on the airship while Sin lands on the water near
Bevelle.

Brother: Vydran! E lyhhud pameaja fryd E caa! (Father! I cannot believe what I
see!)

Cid: Pameaja ed, cuh! Drao'ja tuha ed! Ed ec rybbahehk! (Believe it, son!
They've done it! It is happening!)

Tidus' group came in the bridge.

Brother: Rikku, aqlammahd! (Rikku, excellent!)

Yuna: It's going to come back, isn't it?

Tidus: I know.

Cid: What? You're kidding me!

Tidus: No! We have to beat the guy inside Sin.

Wakka: The Crusaders would be out of a job if it was this easy.

Lulu: But it has weakened. I'm sure of it.

Rikku: Yeah! We're winning!

Cid: All right, I'll do what I can with the main gun!

Tidus proceeds to the roof and saw Yuna there. He talks to her.

Yuna: I wonder if Sir Jecht is in pain.

Tidus: Let's just end this...quickly. The fayth said they would help us, right?

Yuna: It bothers me, the way they said that.

Tidus: Huh?

Yuna: I mean, they've been fighting alongside us this whole time, but now they
say they'll help?

Tidus: I guess so...

Yuna: Wait! Sin is reborn when Yu Yevon merges with an aeon, isn't that right?
If I summon an aeon, Yu Yevon will join with it. But at first, it'll be small,
won't it? Tidus: Yeah... Then, we might be able to beat it without the Final
Summoning.

Yuna: I don't know. What if Yu Yevon jumps again?

Tidus: Then we'll take it down again! We'll fight him until there's no place
left to run!

Yuna: I never thought it would come down to this.

Tidus: Yeah, I know. Hey, the fayth, they're tired of this whole thing, too.
Let's let them rest.

Yuna: The fayth said it's pointless to keep dreaming. The dream will disappear,
he said. What did he mean? And what is it that Yu Yevon is summoning from
within Sin?

Tidus: The dream of the fayth.

Yuna: You won't...go away, will you?

Rikku: (radio contact) Yunie! Guys! Come look! Something's happening to Sin!

We watch a movie of Sin spreading its back spikes and floats up near a Bevelle
tower. Inside the airship...

Auron: Jecht... He's waiting for you.

Cid: Well, son, the main gun is still busted! We can't give you any cover fire!

Tidus: Hey, just take us in. We'll do the rest.

Tidus' group agrees.

Cid: All right. (to the brother) Take us up, flush to the mouth! No mistakes,
or I'm gonna tear out that mop you call hair!

Brother: Trust...me. Me...take you there. No problem...ya?

Tidus: Let's get ready to blitz!

Kimahri: You are Kimahri's friend.

Tidus' group proceeds to the cabin and takes the platform up. Then they go
outside to prepare for the battle against Sin. We watch a movie of Sin ready to
attack.

Cid: Here we go!

Tidus: Yeah! I'm coming for you, Dad!

Tidus' group fights Overdrive Sin. After Tidus' group defeats Overdrive Sin, we
watch a movie of Tidus' group on the roof of the airship. The airship goes
inside Sin's mouth, in there they saw an image of Seymour and that frightened
Tidus' group. Later, the airship lands.

Tidus: Dad! Where are you?

Auron: We must go to him.

Tidus: Then we will! Let me take front!

Yuna: Good luck.

Tidus: Follow me!

Tidus' group moves on. In the next area, Tidus' group, were confronted by
Seymour.

Tidus: Don't you ever give up?

Seymour: Sin has chosen me. I am part of Sin. I am one with Sin, forever.
Immortal!

Tidus: Sin just absorbed you.

Seymour: I will learn to control it, from within. I have all the time in the
world. Since you were gracious enough to dispose of Yunalesca...the only means
of destroying Sin is forever gone. Now nothing can stop us!

Seymour transformed into his ultimate form.

Tidus: Well, we can!

Seymour: By all means, try! You should thank me. Your death means your father's
life!

Tidus' group confronts Seymour for the last time. They fight Seymour Omnis.
After Tidus' group were victorious in defeating Seymour...

Seymour: No!

Wakka: Now! Yuna, send him!

Yuna: Right!

Yuna begins the sending to Seymour.

Seymour: So it is you, after all, who will send me. But even after I am gone,
Spira's sorrow will prevail.

Seymour disappeared once and for all.

Tidus: Sin will be right behind you.

Tidus group proceeds to the Tower of Death. Then in the next area, they collect
10 item spheres and that teleported Tidus' group to the area where Jecht is. In
there, Tidus does not look happy to see Jecht.

Jecht: You're late, Auron.

Auron: I know.

Jecht: (to Tidus) Hey!

Tidus: Hi.

Jecht: Hah! You got tall, but you're all bones! You eating right, boy? You've
really grown.

Tidus: Yeah, but you're still bigger.

Jecht: Well, I am Sin, you know.

Tidus: That's not funny.

Jecht: Well, then... I mean...you know. Let's end this.

Tidus: Dad?

Jecht: Yeah?

Tidus: I hate you.

Jecht: I know, I know. You know what you have to do.

Tidus: Yeah.

Jecht: I can't hear the Hymn so well anymore. Pretty soon, I'm gonna be Sin.
Completely. I'm glad you're here now. One thing, though... When it starts, I
won't be myself anymore. I won't be able to hold myself back. I'm sorry.

Tidus: (frustrated) That's enough. Let's finish this, okay?

Jecht: You're right. (stepping on the center circle floor) Well, then... Let's
go!

Jecht has something glowing out of his body and steps back. Tidus tried to hold
him from falling off, but it was too late. Jecht fell into the chasm. Then
later, Braska's Final Aeon appeared.

Tidus: I promise this will be quick! Hit me with all you got, Dad!

Tidus' group fights Braska's Final Aeon. Tidus talks to it.

Tidus: I won't lose!

Tidus' group successfully defeated Braska's Final Aeon, the Final Aeon
disappeared. Jecht appeared back at the center circle. Tidus rushes to Jecht
and holds him while he's on the ground. Tidus starts to cry.

Jecht: You'll cry. You're gonna cry. You always cry. See? You're cryin'.

We watch a movie of Tidus crying.

Tidus: (crying) I hate you, Dad.

Jecht: Save it for later.

Tidus: (stops crying) Right... We've got a job to do, don't we?

Jecht: Good. That's right. You are my son, after all.

Tidus: You know...for the first time, I'm glad...to have you as my father.

Jecht: Heh.

Yuna; Sir Jecht... I should...

Jecht: No, Yuna, there's no time!

We watch Yu Yevon maneuvering around the area.

Tidus: You stay away!

Jecht: Yuna, you know what to do. The aeons...

Fayth: We aeons...

Fayth appeared.

Jecht: Call them!

Fayth: Call us!

Jecht disappeared.

Yuna: Yes.

Lulu: Here it comes!

In another area of another background...

Tidus: Yuna!

Yuna begins calling the Aeons and Tidus' group dispatches them one at a time,
for good. After that is done, Yu Yevon appeared.

Tidus: Everyone! This is the last time we fight together, okay?

Wakka: Huh?

Tidus: What I'm trying to say is...after we beat Yu Yevon, I'll disappear!

Lulu: What are you talking about?

Yuna looked puzzled. Tidus approaches Yu Yevon and draws his sword.

Tidus: I'm saying goodbye!

Rikku: Not now!

Tidus: I know it's selfish...but this is my story!

Tidus' group's final battle is against Yu Yevon. Finally, after defeating Yu
Yevon, Yu Yevon is gone. The screen switches to Besaid Village with the people
celebrating their victory. The prayer's room's guardians at the bottom turned
into stones. Fayth disappears. The screen switches to where Tidus' group, were
at. Yuna performs her sending. Auron's is disappearing.

Auron: Don't stop.

Yuna: But I...

Auron: It's all right. It's been long enough. This is your world now.

Auron steps on the center circle and he disappeared. We watch a movie of Tidus'
group on the airship. Yuna performs her sendings on the Aeons and Sin. Sin blew
up and flames are scattered over the sky. The Aeons disappeared. Then, we see
the Caverns of Darkness where the water stopped forming a whirlwind. One of the
water bubbles shows Tidus in it. Later in the airship, Tidus is starting to
disappear from Spira.

Tidus: Yuna, I have to go.

Yuna nods "no".

Tidus: I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand. Goodbye!

Tidus is about to jump off the airship.

Wakka: Hey!

Rikku: We're gonna see you again...?

Yuna runs after Tidus.

Kimahri: Yuna!

Yuna tried to hold on to Tidus, but she went through and fell down. Tidus is
disappearing. Yuna gets up.

Yuna: I love you.

Tidus gave Yuna a hug although she can't feel him. Then Tidus is about to jump
and the group started waving goodbye. Tidus jumps off the airship, and we see
Jecht, Auron, and Braska. Jecht reunites with Tidus. Later in Luca, Yuna tried
the whistle blow with fingers, but it is no use, as we know Tidus is gone.

Lulu: Yuna, it's time.

Everyone in Luca are happy as they are about to listen to Yuna. Yuna is
preparing her speech.

Yuna: Everyone...everyone has lost something precious. Everyone here has lost
homes, dreams, and friends. Everybody... Now, Sin is finally dead.

The crowds gave Yuna the applause.

Yuna: Now, Spira is ours again. Working together... Now we can make new homes
for ourselves, and new dreams. Although I know the journey will be hard, we
have lots of time. Together, we will rebuild Spira. The road is ahead of us, so
let's start out today.

The crowds gave the applause. Wakka, Lulu, Rikku, and Kimahri looked happy.

Yuna: Just, one more thing... The people and the friends that we have lost, or
the dreams that have faded...

The screen shows some of the past scenes of the game.

Yuna: Never forget them.

Then credits roll and the song Suteki Da Ne (Isn't It Wonderful?) Orchestral
Version plays. After that, we watch the final movie of Tidus waking up in the
water and he swims all the way up. This ends our story and the game.

THE END
