"I've been thinking a lot about what has happened since my return to spira from the faith. Remember the adventures and such. Finding out more about the world - how much it changed over a thousand years from my 'Zanarkand'. They may not have shown it but even through rough times it was probably one of the happiest moments of my life. Since i came back - i realized that once again - Spira was another world among itself, Machina in use? heh I thought but seems like everyone given up the 'pilgrimages' which i was happy about... everything had been going so well while living with Yuna...until that day..."--
Tidus was among the beach when it happened, looking out at the sea and walking along it where he and Yuna went when wanting to be alone together. He smiled as the bright clear sky reflected in his eyes as to the water. He sighed feeling the wind pass by him until he realized it had gotten stronger all of a sudden. He blinked turning towards where the deep wind came from and noticed the sky tearing about as though it was ripping through fabric. Immediately he watched until small fiends approached which proved no match for him and the brotherhood of course. Suddenly he realized explosions hitting and one blew him into the waters of the beach, where Tidus remained for a short moment. He swam back up and looked around. No one on his side of the beach but the explosions, possibly weren't explosions but others who appeared. Yet no where in sight... it was obvious the water took him further from the location. The young blitzace made it back to shore and nodded.
"I gotta find her to make sure she's ok!" He said as he ran up the coast of the beach.
Tidus finally made it back only to reveal 3 unusual characters. Clothing awkward, yet two seemed rather usual to him, the pink haired girl's clothing was natural because he had seen the style in Zanarkand and the other female's clothing looked as though any female in spira would go for that style in some way. After scoping them Tidus finally realized Yuna talking to one.
"Yuna, you're ok! Thank goodness - We have got to go back to Besaid. It's not safe here but of course we'll help these people too" Tidus said running to her while looking at the others. As soon as he reached her his hands went around Yuna's waist relieved. Tidus looked back in the direction he saw the rift and shook his head having a bad feeling which really is never wrong.
Zidane battled outside of Alexandria making his way towards the rift's portal. Eventually after defeating the monsters that appeared before the genome. He found himself once again at the beginning of the Evil Forest. Zidane sighed remembering the last time he went in this dreadful place but when he looked up into the sky he realized the only way to get up there is through Ice Caverns. He kicked some dirt with a sigh once more.
"Man, this is gonna be rough - Its like I'm having to go through all these places again and If i fought all these guys just outside - I wonder whats going to be waiting for me after all this... Welp - No turning back now... I'll have to think of some excuse for Dagger... nothing too dumb but you know ---"
He snapped out of it and shook his head. Zidane then gestured with an ego. "Heh - Zidane you sly dog - you know you'll get something good when the time comes! Besides theres more at stake then just missing a visit..." He said before running into the forest. He passed through some of the vines, it started to get a little cold. Not like Caverns cold but just a little unusual breeze. Zidane followed it and strangely it lead to a Wendigo (FFX). His eyes opened wide as it charged him causing Zidane to immediately flip out of the way with ease of course. He got his daggers ready and looked at it waiting for it to make its move. At the same time he wondered and studied the monster. It obviously was a frost type but it's in the green forest. He wanted to look back at the rift to see what else was coming through but there wasn't any time. All he could do was watch the Wendigo's actions. It suddenly charged breaking through one of the trees after Zidane avoided it. He rushed the bested slashing at it and evading. It was slightly effective but even through the cuts the monster's resilience remained. Zidane crawled up a tree avoiding it for awhile although he taking it down soon. He shook his head and scratched the back of it. He knew this was definitely not gonna be an easy fight but he also had confidence and knew he'd win it.
