Tidus awakens to find himself on an Al Bhed ship.
A guard notices him getting to his feet and knocks him backwards.

Ced, lybdeja!

Hey, that hurts!

Hu sujehk, rayn?

Whoa... Okay.
Rikku and Brother come out onto the deck.

Caynlr res!
Rikku helps Tidus up, keeping his arm pinned to his back.
Brother grunts and motions in an attempt to communicate with Tidus.

Right. Whatever.

Tu oui hud cbayg?
He shows Tidus some sort of mouthpiece or goggle,
and continues to grunt and motion.

I said I don't understand!

Ehcumahla!

Fyed!
He said you can stay if you make yourself useful.

You...You understand me?
One of the Al Bhed knocks him in the back.
All right, I'll work!

Tidus talks to Rikku.

Oh, almost forgot!
She explains the sphere grid system.

Tidus checks out the ship.

What's this? Some kind of crane?

Rao, oui! Kad yfyo vnus drana!

All right, all right! You don't have to shout!

Tidus talks to Rikku again.

We found some ancient ruins right beneath us.
It's not active now, but there should still be some power left.
We're gonna go down there and activate it...
and then we should be able to salvage the big prize!

Mmhmm.

Okay! Let's get to work!

Roger!
He jumps off the ship, turning to smile at Rikku before diving in.

They swim together down to the underwater ruins and activate the power source there.
Unfortunately, they also encounter a monster.
They defeat the Tros, then swim down and explore the ruins.

Tidus discovers the big prize, an airship.

Everyone meets back on deck of the salvage ship.

Fa vuiht dra airship!
Dra naluntc fana nekrd!
Tidus boards the ship.
Huf, ruf du tnyk ed ib?
The Al Bhed walk into the ship, and Tidus tries to follow.
Oui, uidceta!

Hey, I helped out, didn't I?

Tidus is lying on the deck of the ship.

Uhh...hungry.
Rikku approaches as Tidus yawns, and she kicks him to get his attention.
She puts the tray of food on the deck in front of him.
Whoa! Right on!
He starts eating like crazy, only to begin choking.

Hey!
She tosses him something to drink, and he downs it.
It's 'cause you eat too fast!
Tidus gets up, laughs, and stretches.
Hey!

Hello there. What is your name?

Rikku.
Tidus is obviously thrilled, and shakes her hand excitedly.

Whoa! You really do understand!
Woohoo!
He laughs for a moment.
Huh?
Why didn't you say so earlier?

I didn't get a chance to!
Everyone thought oui were a fiend.

Uh... "we"?

Oh, "oui" means "you."

Umm...
Who are you guys, anyway?

We're Al Bhed. Can't you tell?
Wait. You're not an Al Bhed-hater, are you?

I don't even know what an Al Bhed is.

Where are you from?

Zanarkand.
He shows off.
I'm a blitzball player. Star player of the Zanarkand Abes!

Did you... hit your head or something?

Um, you guys hit me.

Oh, right... Do you remember anything before that?

"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."
Did I... say something funny?

You were near Sin.

Mmhmm.

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?

You mean I'm sick?

Because of Sin's toxin, yeah.

You sure?

Yeah, there is no Zanarkand anymore.
Sin destroyed it a thousand years ago.
So... no one plays blitzball there.

Huh?
What do you 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.

You said...
You play blitzball?

Uh-huh.

You know, you should go to Luca.
Someone might know who you are or you might find
someone you recognize.

Luca?

Ugh...
She shakes her head.

Heh.
Rikku walks around, thinking. Suddenly, she gets an idea.
She walks up to Tidus and pats him on the back.

Okay, leave it to me! I'll get you to Luca, promise!
Tidus hesitates.
You'd rather stay here?

Uh-uh.

Okay, I'll go tell the others. Wait here.
She starts to walk off, then turns back.
Oh, and one thing.
Don't tell anyone you're from Zanarkand, okay?
Yevon says it's a holy place. You might upset someone.

Oh. Uh-huh. Hm.
"My Zanarkand, some kind of holy place?
Yeah right, I thought.
Since when?
Yevon? Sin? Luca?
I thought Sin just took me to a faraway place,
that I could go back in a day or two.
But a thousand years into the future?"
No way!
He kicks the crane, and suddenly the entire ship starts shaking.
Several Al Bhed rush out onto deck.

Sin!
Sin ec lusa!
Ihtan ic! Ihtan ic!

Whoa!
Tidus is swept overboard by the rushing water, and everything goes black.

Tidus awakens in the middle of a lagoon.

Rikku!
He is suddenly smacked in the head by a blitzball.
On the beach he proceeds to meet Wakka and the Besaid Aurochs.
