So I go walking through the temple when a giant fish thing ruins my stride and sends me into the water. I get attacked by a few fish and after killing two of them the giant fish monster comes back and eats the last one. FIGHT TIME! After getting my butt handed to me by being severely punched twice, I cut my losses and start to swim away. Well fish creature tries to eat me. I don't know where he keeps his food since his stomach is basically bones, but there you go. He almost succeeds too, but at the last minute I get away and find myself trapped in the temple. TEMPLE MUSIC ACTIVATE! I actually like the temple music. I think its pretty.

So Tidus says it's cold, and says he needs fire, caveman style. I go gather supplies and start a fire, which is amazing considering how wet the entire place is. Tidus proclaims he needs food. He then has a flashback. He is being rude to Auron who tells him his team lost because of him. Auron reminds him it's been 10 yars and tells him he thought he would be crying. Mystery kid says the same. He wakes up to his fire going out. As he gets up to get more wood, he is ambushed by a... fast thing with long legs. FIGHT TIME! After a few back and forth hits, the door blows open and in come Rik... I mean erm ????? and some more Al Bhed. She joins me in my fight. I am taught about using grenades. This makes me sad because I only have 2. Now I have 1.

After the fight, I try to thank her but am suddenly held at gunpoint! They say some things and Rikku pleads my case and then punches me in the stomach and now here I am on an Al Bhed ship! Exciting. So there is some pushing me around and some Al Bhed speak and Brother grunting and gesturing. Rikku tells me I can stay if I make myself useful. We go down to salvage some ruins. I learn how to activate nodes on the sphere grid. I click and hit some stuff and before you know it, BOSS FIGHT TIME AGAIN! I leave and beams of light come out of the structure. I surface back up to the ship.

The Al Bhed men talk and enter the hip and Tidus, just trying to fit in and make friends, gets rejected and pushed away. He then rolls around on the ground proclaiming that he is hungry. Rikku kicks him in the arm and gives him some food. It looks kinda gross. Not sure what is. He scoffs it down with his hands and starts to choke or something before grabbing some..water? From Rikku. He gets up and asks Rikku his name. She introduces herself and he begins to laugh uncontrollably because she understands him. She explains about the Al Bhed. She asks where he's from and he says Zanarkand and mentions how he played blitzball (crazy person). She asks if he hit his head or something. He tells her the story of what happened. She tells him his head is probably funny from Sin. She tells him Zanarkand was destroyed 1000 years ago. He is in disbelief. He stops his disbelief briefly so I can save my game. She asks again about blitzball and tells him to go to Luca. He might find someone he recognizes. He doesn't know what she's talking about. She then promises to get him to Luca. She says not to tell anyone he's from Zanarkand because Yevon says its a holy place and he might upset someone. She goes to talk to the others. Tidus begins to feel a sense of hopelessness at his situation because he was hoping he could go home in a day or two.

He punches a wall out of frustration and Sin appears. He is thrown overboard and into a whirlpool, where he wakes up on a sunny beach!
