Chapter 15: Farplane Sphere
Well it seemed that the speech in Luca, wasn’t postponed, Nooj felt they should do it a soon as possible, considering what had just happened. Needless to say that any unpopular opinions about Gippal and Baralai’s disappearance were shattered by the events in the last two days.
With all of that having been thought of and said, they ended up having it at noon that same day.
All three of them stood in front of a crowd of thousands of people.
Nooj took one final look around Luca’s stadium, staring at the near silent mass before he started “Once, my friends and I dreamed of flying, we would sail a ship with me as its captain. In time, I became that captain, I found a new ship with new friends. My ship was the Youth League.”
“Others chose a different captain, their boat was New Yevon.” Baralai said.
“You know, I realize I'm like a lot of you people.... We want a captain, and we want a ship to ride, but more important than that...Really, we all want to ride together.” Gippal said.
“There are some things you can't do alone. But they become easy with friends beside you.” Baralai said this indicating Nooj and Gippal, more so Gippal.
“This was the lesson we learned when we launched those ships.” Nooj continued.
“It was power.. and we misused that power. We turned our friends and followers against each other.” Baralai sighed. “Forgive us.”
Taking a step back, the three of them bowed apologetically to the roaring crowd as well as all of Spira. “Somehow we forgot...There's a much larger ship out there, one we've been riding ever since we were born. That ship is Spira.”
“No one knows just where our voyage will lead us, but I do know one thing. One way or another, we will get by, we'll go on living. The calm will continue.” Nooj‘s words got a cheer from the crowd .
“Just one more thing; We all owe thanks to a very special lady.” Gippal said, and of course they did considering every bit of help they had with Veganagun and all the chaos that ensued afterwords.
! - ! - !
The lady in question stood at the edge of Luca docks, her hands resting behind her back as her peered out on to the water and the approaching Celsius. With all of her thoughts concluded and feeling that she finally had a sense of closure to everything, Yuna turned around, facing Rikku and Paine who were waiting peaceably behind her. “It’s time for me to go home.”
! - ! - !
“She left a message, she said she's going home. So farewell, but not goodbye.” Gippal relayed to them and as if on cue, the Celsius rose from behind the stadium.
Brother screaming loudly “See you next time, kiddies! Yeehaw!” before accelerating and ascending at full speed, fast enough to quickly leave everything else behind.
Yuna, Rikku and Paine watched the stadium’s fleeting form through the passing clouds and flowing ocean beneath them. “Did we really have to leave like that? Just think of the party we are missing!“ Rikku wined, just imaging the food that would be there...man she was hungry.
Paine glanced over at Rikku with an amused look on her face. “I think we party enough, don't you?”
Maybe they had ‘partied’ enough, Yuna didn’t much feel like sticking around anyway...though there was something missing. “Brother!” Yuna shouted “Higher!”
“Roger!” Brother called back, ascending the ship upward in to the clouds.
“Brother, faster!”
“Rogerr!”
The Celsius increased in speed, making the clouds beside them appear as though a blur.
“I can't hear you!”
“Rogerrrrr!!”
....

Tidus’s eyes shot open, finding himself curled up and his knees drawn up in to his arms in a subconscious protective position. ’Wha...?’ He lifted his head out of his lap, looking around with blurry vision, he was in water……and Yu Yevon was gone.
‘Where ...am I?” Letting his body uncurl, Tidus instinctively swam toward the surface with muscles worn from previously strenuous use. His head pierced of the water with a loud splash and a deep breath. He immediately looking around at his surroundings andsaw nothing but clear blue water in front of him.
Turning around he saw a beach, a familiar beach that he couldn’t quite remember.... ’Where am I……What happened? Shu…must have actually sent me back.’ He though as he the walk towards the shallow water and white sands of land, Tidus could remember Shuyin’s final words before everything had gone black. Now they just echoed through out his mind in a most haunting almost taunting ring. ’He told me…--’
A spray of water washed over him in a large volume from behind, effectively knocking him out of his racing thoughts at the moment.
“Huh?“ He turned around and saw the Celsius descending above the water, the back gate open. Standing in the door was none other then Yuna, who jumped out of the airship at the sight, sloshing through the waist high waters until she made her way over to the boy. There was a light pause as she stared at him, just to make sure that he was actually real before throwing her arms around his neck with a happy cry, almost unable to believe what was happening.
It looked like Inoringo had made good on his promise.
! - ! - !
! - ! - !
Tidus, Yuna and all of Besaid along with Rikku sat around a roaring flames mounted in the center of the village as Yuna went into great detail to tell Tidus everything that had happened... with a little help from Rikku of course. It was nightfall now, the time seemed to had passed by so quickly, and everyone was so engrossed in the story that they barely noticed.
“Sounds hard.” Tidus crossed his stretched out legs, propping his elbows on to his knees and resting his head in his hands. He felt the urge to stretch out after sitting for so long, but he was too tired to get up and do so.
“It was.” Yuna agreed modestly, sitting beside him.
After hearing everything for the second time, Rikku had begun to put some things together that she hadn‘t really thought about before. “That sphere we found near the Farplane, you know, after it blew up and all. We heard you on it, what was that?”
“Sphere….?”
“Auron was on it too!”
“Auron……Oh that.” Tidus finally realized what she had been talking about, how could he forget the whole sphere recorder thing? “It’s a long story. Sure you wanna hear it?” Tidus asked, not so much as a preemptive but because he didn’t feel like explaining it at the moment.
“There’s no short version?”
Could he explain it in a short, condensed version? Tidus shook his head. “It wouldn’t make sense then.”
With another glance up at the sky and a quick assessment of her curiosity, Rikku agreed “Oh, Alright.”
Tidus began telling the story of what happened to him, sure to leave out the part about him and Shuyin, for Yuna’s sake. The whole thing took about 20 minutes as far as Tidus had counted. And by then, Paine was walking through the gates of Besaid.
“Paine? Your back?” Yuna inquired, with the thought that she had left the island already.
Paine stood over Yuna‘s shoulder, one hand coming to rest on her hip as she looked around at the gathered crowd, taking special notice to a half sleep Wakka laying behind Tidus. “I dropped by Bevelle, Baralai told me to give you these…..” Paine retrieved 2 spheres from her inventory, placing the golden orbs into Yuna‘s lap.
“What’s on them?”
“I don’t know, he said he found them on the Thunder planes...” Paine hadn’t bothered to watched them, she decided to wait until she got back here.
“Let’s watch them.”
