-- Final Fantasy X-2 -- -- Story Summary -- -- By Kouli {aka Ken Zhao, kenzhao99@yahoo.com} -- -- Version 1.0 -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- About 1000 years ago, two great countries in Spira, Bevelle and Zanarkand, had a war. Bevelle used high tech machine as weapons while Zanarkand used traditional Summoning skills as weapons. At the end, Bevelle defeated Zanarkand. Survivors of Zanarkand used up their last bit power and created 'Dream Zanarkand'. However, their Highest Summoner used up his own power to summon 'Sin'. Sin destroys everything, until 'Sin' got defeated by the Highest Summoner's Daughter and Son-In-Law (Yunalesca and Lord Zaon). After the events, High Officials of Bevelle created Yevon to monopolize the situation. Hence, people in Spira have been deceived for 1000 years. Within the war, there was an tragic event. The victims were Lenne, Zanarkand's most famous singer and her lover Shuyin. If the war never happened, they would probably have lived happily together forever. But because the war, the famous singer and also a summoner Lenne has to head to the battle field even she knows that's committing suicide. Out of all these people in Zanarkand, there was one person who wished to have Lenne lives on. He decided to do anything in order to save Lenne. Shuyin then thought of VegnaGun, Bevelle's most powerful battle machine. Because VegnaGun can't be fully operated and controlled, it was sealed in Under-Bevelle. But it was the only way to end the war. Having this thought in his mind, Shuyin sneaked in Under-Bevelle. Just as the moment he can control VegnaGun, Lenne who found out his plan ran in. Lenne knows VegnaGun's power will destroy all of Spira, hence she went to Under-Bevelle and try to stop Shuyin. When she meets Shuyin, Bevelle Soldiers found them. Then the tragedy occurs, Lenne and Shuyin were both shot. And Shuyin had to see his lover got killed right by him. Shuyin however was injured and locked in a jail at Under-Bevelle. Because of his wish to save Lenne results in the death of Lenne, plus birthplace Zanarkand goes into destruction step by step, Shuyin hated himself, he hated Bevelle, he hated the world, then Shuyin died with the hatred. But his hatred and sadness combined with pyre flies, and further strengthening him by gathering power in Mushroom Rock Road's Sealed Cave. Then 1000 years passed, everything of Shuyin have been forgotten. Even though the Temples know there is an evil monster in the cave, but they don't know what exactly is it. In order to control the Crusaders, the Temples create an elite team, once succeed, the team members will be sent to each place and command the Crusaders there, this elite team is called the Akagi Team. For various reasons, different people joined the Akagi Team to train. They then divided into different groups. And one of the strongest group contains the trio of Gippal, Baralai and Nooj. And to report all their actions in the training was this 'reporter' goes by the name Paine. Through the difficult training, these four became good friends as they have went to life and death situations together. Finally, the final cut comes, teacher of the Temples wish the Akagi Team to check out the Sealed Cave and whoever comes back with true facts of the cave will be recognized as a member of the Akagi Team. The final cut was Cruel, even weapons have to be gained from other team members. But for the Nooj, Baralai, Gippal and Paine, it was nothing. However, no one has thought of what's about to happened. Shuyin's hatred and sadness affected every member of the Akagi Team. They started to kill each others, every single one of them died except for Nooj, Baralai, Gippal and Paine. Because of their strong will, they made it to the center of the cave, the focus of Shuyin's hatred and sadness. Nooj's heart gave up hopes (plus cuz he joined the team just to get himself killed), that makes him the easiest to be controlled by Shuyin's hatred. But when Shuyin's hatred finds he can control Nooj to destroy Spira, He decided not to kill the four people. And he also let the four to know the existence of Vegnagun and then possessed in Nooj's body. Nooj and others didn't know what happened. They made it to the entrance of the cave and toward the soldiers to report. But Shuyin's hatred didn't want anyone else to know what happened in the cave, he then yet again made them kill each other. Nooj and others know they are the only survivors and they will surely be looked as murderers (and then be executed), they decided to separate their paths as to reduce the targets. Right at the moment they separated, Nooj shot the other three. Maybe just to make each other to hate each other, Nooj didn't kill any of them. Then the four lived on with their choices. Not too long after this, Yuna defeated Sin. A new age came. Trema started a new trend and encourage people to start to discover Sphere that are hidden through out Spira to uncover Spira's history. And obviously, Sphere hunters are created. However, this didn't last long, Trema then created New Yevon to Attempt to monopolize detected Sphere. Because his actions and the past temples are similar, people start to disagree with him. Nooj then use this chance and created the Youth League to go against the New Yevon. Of course, his true intention is VegnaGun that's is sleeping in Under-Bevelle. Baralai uses Trema's selfish and stirs up a fight within New Yevon. Trema was kicked down while Baralai became the new leader of the New Yevon. Gippal on the other hand became the leader of the Machina Group and mainly focus on digging ancient machine on the desert. And lastly, Paine, wishes to found out what happened of that accident in the cave, she then joined The Sea Gull Group and became a Sphere Hunter. In one little incident, Kimahri found a Sphere that shows Shuyin being locked in a jail. Because Shuyin and Tidus look alike, Kimahri thinks this is news of Tidus and get Riku to deliver it to Yuna. Although She doesn't know if the one in the Sphere is really Tidus or just someone that looks like him, but in order to reunite with the one she loves, with this only hope, Yuna decides to throw away everything and started a new journey, a journey for herself. Yuna then joins Rikku's Sea Gull Group and meet with Paine. Through the journey, Yuna found a Dress Sphere from Lenne. Because of that, Lenne's emotions affected Yuna. Yuna starts to know of a buried history, and Lenne's love to Shuyin. At the same time, Yuna starts out flashbacks of Tidus as she travels through out Spira, as she remembers every moment of their journey together 2 years ago. Through the Sphere from each places, Yuna finds out the existence of VegnaGun. She decided to head to Bevelle and find out the truth, and mainly to take out this threat of Spira. Because knowing VegnaGun's auto counter attack ability when it detects enemy, Baralai tries to stop YuRiPa. But no one knew, that Shuyin's hatred controlled Nooj uses this chance to sneak into Under Bevelle. And He uses VegnaGun's great power to hide it at the abyss of Farplane. The Fayth (who Yuna has helped to finish their eternal summoning destiny) felt the great danger, they decided to stop Shuyin's hatred. But Shuyin's hatred was too powerful. The Fayth ended up being affected by Shuyin's hatred and live on as monsters. To end VegnaGun's threat, Gippal, Baralai and Nooj gather together again (after two 2 years from last time). But because the event from last time, they hated each other. Shuyin's hatred then further moves on to Baralai and control him. All three of them then enter Farplane while having wishes of stopping and starting up VegnaGun. At this time, Yuna is busy running around one place to another because of the wild appearance of monsters around Spira. On one incident, she also got into Farplane. And met with Shuyin's hatred controlled Baralai. Because of the Songstress Dress Sphere on Yuna, Shuyin's hatred then mistaken Yuna as Lenne. He wishes them together to destroy Spira and then fall into Eternal Sleep together. Nooj then wakes up the decepted Yuna, and then walk into the Abyss of Farplane after telling Yuna to take care what's happening on Spira. Being confused and left alone, Yuna then hear whistling from Tidus. Tidus' vision then guided Yuna out of Farplane. This time at Spira, every big group are in great confusion because of the lost their leaders. In order to unite people's hearts and feelings, Yuna decided to call out a concert. During the concert, people then see the tragedy from 1000 years ago because of war. People then begin to rethink everything that has happened so far. After the concert, YuRiPa receive news from Farplane. And knowing the root of everything is at Farplane, YuRiPa decided to enter Farplane and end it all. Through the path to Farplane, Yuna had to defeat her old partners, the Aeons, one by one. After that, Fayth regain control and tells Yuna that's merely Shuyin's shadow, a combination of Shuyin's hatred and sadness. Yuna then decides to use light, as Lenne to Shuyin's love to get rid of this Shadow. Through out difficult battles, Shuyin's hatred finally disappear because of Lenne's love. Yuna yet again saved the world. She then meets up the Fayth, and the Fayth knowing Yuna's feeling toward Tidus, The Fayth decided to try to get Tidus back to Yuna. After the confusions, thee three leaders shake their hands and wish Spirans to work harder together to bring a better future to Spira. As for Yuna, who just brought peace back to Spira didn't show up in the celebration meeting. She told the three leaders to bring her words to every Spiran: "I'll in a particular part of the sky and live every day happily". While waking up under water, Tidus slowly swim up to the surface.
