FFX - Script - Djose Temple
[The group makes their way along the Djose highroad. They stop at a fork in the road] Tidus
"Hey! How much longer till Zanarkand?"
Wakka
"Still a ways."
Lulu
"First down the Moonflow to the Guado city of Guadosalam..."
"Then we cross the Thunder Plains to the temple of Macalania."
Tidus
"Oh, boy."
Yuna
"And before that, we get to pray at the temple in Djose!"
Tidus
"We can't just skip all that? Can we, huh?"
Yuna
"I have to pray to the fayth in every temple in order to earn the Final Aeon."
Wakka
"That's a summoner's training."
"She's gotta prepare mind and body, all just to get ready for the Final Summoning."
Tidus
"Must be tough, Yuna."
Yuna
"I'll be fine with you here!"
[Everyone runs down a path, except Auron and Tidus. Tidus starts to follow, except...]
Auron
"Hey, new guy."
Tidus
"Uh...me?"
Auron
"Who else?"
Tidus
"What can I do for you, boss?"
Auron
"Don't tell Yuna you know about Sin and Jecht."
"You know her..."
"She would...distance herself from you."
"We do not want that."
Tidus
"I see, I think."
"Yeah, but even if I did say something, no one would believe me, you know?"
Auron
"Yuna would."
Tidus
"Ah...you have a point."
"Come to think of it...did I really have to know about Jecht?"
"What about my feelings?"
Auron
"Better than you finding out at a critical moment, becoming emotional."
Tidus
"What? Me, emotional?"
[Auron walks down the path]
Auron
"I heard you were quite the crybaby."
"Yeah, maybe when I was a kid."
"Maybe even a little now. Just a little."
Tidus
"Hey!"
"I still don't buy your story, you hear?"
[Tidus goes down the path; along the way, he sees Yuna is talking to the three Chocobo Knights. With them is only a single chocobo]
Lucil
"Yuna, it is good to see you and your companions are well."
Yuna
"Yourselves as well, Captain. We were worried. Praise be to Yevon!"
Lucil
"We escaped with our lives, but our troops were decimated."
Elma
"Of all our chocobos, only this one made it."
Clasko
"We make pretty poor Chocobo Mounted Forces without chocobos."
Lucil
"We turned our backs on the teachings and cast away our faith."
"This...this is our just reward."
[Everyone reaches the temple. It's shaking, almost like an earthquake is underneath it]
Tidus
"Is that the Djose temple?"
[A large pillar of stone is front of them. Electricity flies out of the top, and the stone explodes into large chunks, revealing the temple]
"Awesome!"
[A shot of the temple is shown, with the boulders flying in mid air, strands of electricity shooting from one to the other]
Lulu
"The Lightning Mushroom Rock. It only opens when a summoner is addressing the fayth."
Wakka
"That means another summoner's already in there."
Yuna
"Another summoner?"
Tidus
"What if it's Dona?"
Yuna
"We have to hurry."
Tidus
"Right! In we go!"
[They enter the Djose temple. The door to the Cloister of Trials opens; a man in a blue robe walks out, followed by a kid and another man]
"I beg your pardon, but may I ask your name?"
Yuna
"I am Summoner Yuna, from the isle of Besaid."
"As I thought!"
"The daughter of Lord Braska. You have the look of your father."
Yuna
"My father? You knew him?"
"No, I have never met the man."
"Ah, my apologies. I am Isaaru."
Isaaru
"I am a summoner, like you."
[The little kid speaks up]
"I'm Pacce. Pleased to meet you."
[The other man speaks up]
"And I'm Maroda."
Maroda
"I'm guarding my big brother here."
Isaaru
"Since I was a child, I've always looked up to Lord Braska."
"I wished I would someday become a high summoner like he was."
"You must have some of your father's talent in you!"
"I believe you might someday defeat Sin."
Yuna
"I...I'm not really... I've only just become a summoner."
Isaaru
"Of course, I've not intention of losing, either."
"So perhaps we should race to see who can defeat Sin first, no?"
Yuna
"Very well, then. I accept your challenge."
Maroda
"Isaaru!"
Isaaru
"Yuna, I beg your leave. Good luck, to both of us!"
Yuna
"Yes."
[Isaaru, Maroda, and Pacce leave, as does everyone else, except for Tidus. He turns around to join his companions in the cloister of trials, but gets stopped by the trio, who returns]
Isaaru
"Hey, you."
Tidus
"Me?"
Isaaru
"You are Yuna's guardian, no?"
"Maroda's heard a curious rumor. I thought you should know."
Maroda
"I heard it from those Crusaders."
"Seems that summoners have been going out on pilgrimage and just...disappearing."
Isaaru
"It could just be the fiends got them... but not so many so quickly."
Maroda
"Sorry I don't know more, but...watch your back."
"Ain't much future for a guardian without a summoner, eh?"
Pacce
"What? What? Whatcha all talkin' 'bout?"
Maroda
"We're talking about doing your job as a guardian!"
Pacce
"Hey, I'm doing good! Right, big brother?"
[Isaaru nods, and faces Tidus once more]
Isaaru
"Please, be careful."
Tidus
"Will do!"
[They walk away, exiting the temple, except for Pacce. Isaaru turns around]
Isaaru
"Pacce!"
Pacce
"Oh... What?"
Isaaru
"We're leaving!"
Pacce
"Be right there!"
[He runs to the door]
"See ya!"
[Tidus joins his companions in the Cloister of Trials]
Wakka
"All right! Guardians, at attention!"
Yuna
"We are ready."
Wakka
"All right... Let's do it!"
[They complete the Cloister of Trials. The door to the Chamber of the Fayth opens; Yuna enters, and the rest stay behind and wait]
Dona
"Well, well. You again."
[Dona and Barthello walk into the room]
"Still travelling with quite the crowd, I see."
[Barthello walks up to Auron, and puts his hands (fists) on his hips]
"What is it, Barthello? You know this riffraff?"
Barthello
"You are...Auron, no?"
Auron
"What of it?"
[Barthello poses like a man in one of those muscle & fitness magazines]
Barthello
"Can...I shake your hand?"
"Auron--no, Sir Auron."
"You're the reason I became a guardian!"
[Auron laughs and extends his hand. They shake hands]
"Thank you, sir! This means so much to me!"
Wakka
"Calling the personal guardian to Lord Braska riffraff?"
Lulu
"And you call yourself a summoner?"
[Tidus goes "Yeesh!"]
Dona
"Barthello, enough! Get back here!"
Tidus
"Hang in there, buddy, eh?"
[They wait around for Yuna. She eventually exits, and falls to her knees. Kimahri runs to her side to hold her and help her up]
Dona
"You owe much to your father."
"All these guardians... and Sir Auron, too?"
"And I hear Maester Seymour's quite taken with you."
"The world must look different when you're the daughter of Lord Braska."
Yuna
"This has nothing to do with my father!"
"I am travelling on my own, as a full-fledged summoner!"
Dona
"Oh, is that so?"
"Then try standing on your own two legs for once."
[Dona approaches the door to the Chamber of the Fayth]
"Your guardians won't be able to protect you when the time comes."
[She enters the Chamber. The rest of the group sleeps. You receive the aeon "Ixion"! The screen returns to the Djose Inn, as Tidus exits it and stretches. He meets up with the rest of the group. They wait for Yuna]
Wakka
"We're leaving once Yuna gets here."
[Tidus enters the temple, and one of the temple rooms. Yuna is sleeping on the bed. A woman is standing beside it]
"She was working until dawn."
"Healing the wounded, sending the fallen."
Tidus
"Okay... I guess I'll just let her sleep for now, then."
[Yuna wakes up and sits up in the bed. Tidus goes "Ah"]
Tidus
"Morning!"
Yuna
"What? Morning?"
Tidus
"Don't worry!"
Yuna
"But it's morning!"
[She stands up]
"I'm so sorry!"
"I-I'll get ready right away! Just a moment!"
[Yuna frantically runs around the room]
Tidus
"Don't worry! It's okay!"
[Tidus leaves the temple and rejoins the group. Yuna races out soon afterward]
Wakka
"Yo! Sleepyhead!"
Yuna
"Sorry! I'm so sorry!"
[She goes to Auron]
"Please forgive me."
Lulu
"Really, there's no rush... Here, your hair."
[Yuna fixes her hair]
Wakka
"A summoner with bed hair! What's the world comin' to?"
Yuna
"You could have woken me up!"
Lulu
"We called to you, but with all that snoring..."
[Yuna gasps]
Yuna
"Hmm...what is it today? Everyone's picking on me!"
[Everyone laughs, except Auron. He laughs soon afterwards]
"You too, Sir Auron?"
Auron
"Once Lady Yuna fixes her hair, we leave!"
[Everyone leaves, except Tidus and Yuna]
"I hadn't really laughed like that in a long time."
"It was only later that I realized..."
"The only one really laughing then...was me."
"Laughing must have been the only thing keeping them going."
[They leave the temple, catching up with the Chocobo Knights]
Lucil
"Off so early?"
[She does the prayer gesture]
"Lady Yuna, you must be exhausted after working so hard last night. Will you be okay?"
[Yuna giggles and does the prayer gesture]
Yuna
"I feel that I have rested enough. But, thank you for your kindness!"
"Will you be leaving, too?"
Lucil
"Yes, first we cross the Moonflow, and then we head north in search of chocobos to replace those we have lost."
Elma
"Once we find chocobos, our Mounted Forces will ride again!"
Tidus
"Huh? Aren't you missing someone?"
Clasko
"Captain! Waaaaait for meee!"
[Clasko finally catches up to the group, breathless]
Elma
"What took you so long? We're leaving!"
[Clasko keeps panting]
Clasko
"You expect me to keep up with a chocobo!?"
[Lucil shakes her head]
Lucil
"Lady Yuna, I wish you good fortune. Elma! Clasko! Let's go!"
Elma
"Ma'am!"
Clasko
"Eh!? C-Can't I just rest a sec...?"
Elma
"No complaints!"
[They run away. Tidus and Yuna meet up with the rest of the group, at the fork in the road]
Tidus
"Where to next?"
Lulu
"We cross the Moonflow."
Tidus
"Gotcha!"
"Moonflow, baby, here we come!"
