Chapter 1

A Man from the Beyond

With a groan a young man slowly sits up looking around, he finds himself in a darkened and cold area. "Where in the hell am I?" he asked rubbing the back of his head wincing at the knot he felt there. Slowly standing he found himself in what appeared to be a series of ruins hunkered down in a lake, the image to him was very familiar. "Oh man, this can't be happening," he muttered in awe. Brad Walker had just started playing Final Fantasy X for the 30th time, and had just finished the second major cut scene involving Auron and Tidus when the world around him went white. He had been using cheat codes for the game to obtain certain perks throughout. His favorite being the infinite gil code, obtaining the legendary weapons, max-ing the stats, and always winning in blitzball. Everything else he preferred to obtain on his own, course there wasn't much left for him to obtain cept certain key items like the Al Bhed primers, plus the items needed to obtain Anima and the Magus Sisters. He looked around and spotted some blond hair. He notice that Tidus was out of reach at the moment, jumping into the water and nearly screaming in shock from the cold he swam over to the younger man. "Hey you alright, yo dude wake the hell up."

Tidus groaned turning over and looking up at him, "Guh, who are you? Where am I?"

"Name's Brad Walker and as for the second question your guess is as good as mine," Brad looked off to stare at the temple. "Looks like ruins to me."

Tidus sighed looking around after introducing himself, "How'd you get here I don't see a boat?"

With a light shrug looking down at his clothing and notice how bad a state they were in, "Don't know that either I was minding my own business and this bright light caught me. Next thing I know I wake up with a bump on my head and found myself here," the older man explained he noted the weapon Tidus was carrying was the Caladblog. "Better find someplace dry," he explained trying to keep the shock out of his face. It worked as he and Tidus made there way toward the Temple's main structure. Not having a sphere grid yet Brad could only speculate that the cheat codes he used in the game were in effect. As they finally reached dry land Tidus shook himself dry apparently the clothing he wore for Blitzball was water resistant which would explain many things. Brad's clothing however was water logged and sticking to his body, causing rips that were already present to get larger as he moved. Walking along the narrow pathway they chatted somewhat trying to get feel for each other however this was only one-sided seeing as how Brad knew everything he needed to know about Tidus.

Suddenly one of the fish fiends leapt out of the water startling both of them and the block they were standing on gave way plunging them into the water sinking under the water Brad was in a mild panic trying to get to the surface until he noted that being under the water was totally strange compared to his world. The water seemed to enter his body and flow out as if was no thicker than air. In a sense he felt like he simply floating in a fog bank but could see clearly all around him. This is way beyond cool. He thought to himself as Tidus finished mopping up the strange fiends but before the blitzer could get the last however a huge monster of a creature appeared chewing up the smaller fiend and spitting it out. Crapola it's Geosgaeno, he looked around for a weapon, as Tidus seemed to float back cautiously. He looked down at the bottom he notice that there was another treasure chest that hadn't been there before. He surged downward and opened the chest before Geosgaeno could track him, inside the chest was a double-bladed sword, picking up Brad tested the weight and nodded mentally in satisfaction swimming back up to float side by side with Tidus as Geosgaeno charged at them. Tidus went right while Brad had gone left both used there different weapons trailing it up the sides of the fiend until they ended up behind the huge creature. Turning they saw it start convulsing in death spasms before falling to the ocean bottom in a sea of pyreflies. The both of us took a deep breath looking around calmly, they found an open doorway and swam to it, though Brad had also spotted the door that would lead to Anima, but without a summoner Brad knew it be useless to go in.

The chamber the two of them entered was dark, damp, and cold, "Freezer central," Brad muttered while Tidus's clothing was already drying, Brad's however was not, his clothing was of a different texture.

"Need fire," Tidus whimpered as they looked around the circular chamber.

Brad nodded trying to stay off the cold, "Let's split up and search were bound to find something that can start one," he suggested he saw Tidus nod in agreement then head off first to the huge door but found it was locked. He then disappeared into one of the corridors, Brad walked into the room where he found the flint stones, and he also decided to do a bit of checking to find some dry clothing. He opened up at nice looking closest on the inside he found something oddly strange, an entire outfit that looked vaguely familiar to him. The assemble, contained black pants, black boots, a skin tight turtle neck shirt with the sleeves missing, a hefty looking belt, on the small foot rack next to the boots was a pair of fingerless gloves. Also there was a bright red jacket on a hanger. Slowly pulling off his ripped water logged clothing gasping in shock at the cold air, he quick changed into the outfit not really sure why it was there or why it was in such good shape he was just glad to get out of the wet clothing. After putting on the jacket he looked at himself in a mirror and admired the look. Until he froze looking at himself in the mirror he his physical appearance had severely been altered, his hair normal cut short and dark blonde was now almost a silvery blue, and was spiky, his body looked different underneath the clothing which he barely notice changing, he was muscled but only lightly so. After looking at himself in the mirror a moment longer he had to smirk, "Man, gone from unhealthy boring to Olympic stud," he chuckled to himself before walking back out of the room to a shivering Tidus who glared at him for a moment then looked at him questionably at the attire. "Don't ask unlike you my clothes didn't have auto dry, here use these flint stones to start the fire."

Tidus nodded and struck the flint a few dozens times before the sparks ignited the dry bark in the withered flowers. "How are going to get out of here?"

"Not sure, but I bet that big door is the way out," Brad stated jerking his thumb at the door Tidus tried earlier.

Tidus groaned plopping down onto the hard floor, "I need food."

Author's Note: This is my take on the tired a person getting sucked into Spira shtick, only mine will have my unusual spin on things, what would happen if a person getting pulled into Spira used cheat codes. Couple Ti/Yu. I changed the last name of the new character slightly so he isn't a Self-insertion but like it would matter the reason why FF is a series of RPG is for the fact that people can place themselves in the positions of the main characters. First chapter is a bit short but please don't flame me to bad for that, though there will be flames at some point usually on grammar and spelling errors. The story will diverge from the original somewhat, and I won't go trying to repeat the Al Bhed language it's a major headache. Brad's weapon of choice is a Double-Bladed sword for those that don't know what one looks like they haven't seen Star Wars Episode 1 or played Knights of the Old Republic much, the name of his legendary weapon when he obtains it, will be called Skywalker.

Putting my disclaimer here, I don't own the FFX characters all those are Square Enix property. And references to Star Wars are all property of George Lucas, Lucasarts, and 20th Century Fox.
