Luca: Part Six
Announcer: Ah, over there! The ships carrying the players are arriving now!
This would be dock number 2.
Bobba: 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 lucky 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!
Wakka: It's like this every year, ya? Don't let it bother you.
Tidus: Stop right there, Goers!
You guys are smilin' now, but not for long!
'Cause this year, us Aurochs are taking the cup!
Wakka: What in Yevon's name were you doing up there?
Datto: We sure stood out, though!
Letty: We were on the sphere!
Datto: We were?
Men/Women: Maester Mika is here!
Already?
The number 3 dock!
Tidus: What's up now?
Yuna: Maester Mika has arrived, that's what!
Tidus: Mika? Maester?
Lulu: Maester Mika is the leader of all the peoples 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: Can't see a thing!
Wakka: Shhhh!
Men/Women: That's a Guado, right?
Who could it be?
Isn't that... Maester Seymour?
Mika: People of Spira, I thank you for your generous welcome.
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.
Wakka: You, too! Bow your head!
Really psyches you up, ya?
All right! Last meeting before the match! Hustle!
Tidus: Where's Wakka?
Datto: At the match-up draws.
Letty: We had to play the Goers in the first match last year.
Jassu: The year before that, and the one before that, too!
Keepa: Well, we would've lost to anyone anyway.
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.
Yuna: There you are!
Someone said they saw Sir Auron in a caf�!
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.
No, no, not your face.
Just breathe out, relax. Like this. Just breathe, yeah!
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 thnk 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.
Al Bhed: Y myto summoner! ("A lady summoner!")
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!
Yuna: I'm sorry, please let me through.
Hey, let's go.
Tidus: You're really famous.
Yuna: I hope we don't get seperated.
Tidus: Yuna!
Yuna: What was that?
Tidus: In Zanarkand, we do this to cheer on blitz players.
You try it, too! But your fingers in your mouth like this.
Yuna: Like...this?
Tidus: Uh-uh, not like that, like this.
Then, you just blow.
Yuna: It's not working.
Tidus: Practice!
Yuna: Okay.
Tidus: Hey, use that if we get seperated.
Then I'll come running, okay?
Well, guess we should just stick together, then, till you can do it?
Yuna: Yes, sir!
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: That's right!
Is Zanarkand like this, too?
Tidus: Well, there are more buildings. All tall ones and cramped together.
Yuna: They must be so tall! Don't you ever get dizzy?
Let's go find Sir Auron!
Tidus: Auron's not here.
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: Take 'em on!
Man: Take it outside! The tournament's starting, you hear?"
Tidus: The game!
Mika: Today, on this glorious day, players from all over Spira have assembled here...
To participate on 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.
Tidus: Kimahri! Yuna's gone!
Lulu: Where in Spira have you been!?
Tidus: Huh?
Lulu: Yuna's been kidnapped by the Al Bhed Psyches.
In exchange 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.
Bobba: The Aurochs are keeping the score tied with some excellent defense, folks!
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.
Tidus: Still in there!
Lulu: He won't last. Wakka's always like that.
Tidus: Ouch.
Lulu: Let's go.
I hope you hurt them.
Yuna: A little.
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 thought I told you not to tell Wakka!
Yuna: The game!
Lulu: Oh!
Bobba: Thirty seconds left...
The Aurochs are launching an all-out offensive!
A long pass from Letty!
It goes through!
He shoots!
Gooooooal!
Unbelievable! The Aurochs win the match, 3-2!
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 would ever try to take Chappu's pl--
Lulu: You don't want to finish that sentence.
Datto: Sure you're all right, Cap'n?
Letty: The game starts in a few minutes. You sure you okay?
Jassu: We're playing the Goers, too.
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 any more, okay? They're trouble.
Wakka: The game starts soon. No time for warm-ups.
Ready?
Tidus: Lemme at 'em.
Wakka: All right!
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: 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!
Lulu: I saw you floating there, on the sphere.
Wakka: Hey, you weren't suppoed to see that.
Lulu: You really gave it your all, didn't you?
Tidus: All right, boys, what're we gonna do?
Aurochs: Win!
Botta: For Cap'n Wakka!
Bobba: This is it, folks!
In just a few minutes, the championship game!
Wall: My best memories are here.
Wakka, Captain of the Aurochs.
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.
Bobba: They're already going at it, folks!
The Goers are taunting the Aurochs!
And it's halftime!
Jimma: The Goers are just playing great, Bobba. Really great.
Wakka: Zone defense, boys! Stop those Goers!
Aurochs: Cap'n!
Tidus: What about me?
Wakka: Get the ball and just shoot like crazy!
Datto: Goers are goin' down!
Aurochs: Yeah!
Tidus: Shoot like crazy!
Aurochs: Yeah!
Wakka: All right! Hustle!
Bobba: The fans are getting impatient! They're calling for some action!
The Aurochs' spirits are fading quickly! Are they going down without a fight?
Everyone seems to be calling for Wakka, folks!
Say... Where is that player going?
He's leaving the sphere pool! He may be injured!
Tidus[Narrating]: To be honest, I did kind of feel left out, but...
It really was the Aurochs' and Wakka's show, after all.
Bobba: I wonder what's happening? The crowd is going wild!
Ah! It's Wakka! He's back on the field and ready to go!
The Aurochs seem glad to have him back.
LOSING OUTCOME:
Bobba: The Aurochs may have lost the game, but what a way to go!
WINNING OUTCOME:
Bobba: Unbelievable! The Aurochs win, folks! This is one for the record books!"
Lulu: What's happening?
Tidus: Auron!
Wakka: Sir Auron!
Tidus: So, you do know him.
Wakka: Yeah. Best guardian there ever was.
Tidus: Hey, gimme a break!
