Active Link - Zanarkand Ruins

[Sphere Hunting - Zanarkand Ruins!]
[A sphere has been detected in the ruins!
And given its location, maybe this one could even be 1000 years old!]

(Yuna)
"It was just the 7 of us back then, in this, our special place."
"I wanted to keep it just the way it was, secret from everybody"
"So much for that."

Paine: Looks like it's a tourist hot-spot.

Rikku: Aw this sucks!

Yuna: Yeah...


** Mission Start! **

*Yuna heads up the hill and finds Isaaru*

????: Hi Yuna

????: I like your new look

????: As for me...
- Who are you, again?
*- I remember you!

Yuna: It's been a while, Isaaru

Isaaru: I'm touched you still remember me.

Yuna: What's going on here?

Isaaru: Oh, I'm just giving Cid a hand with his new line of work.

Rikku: Huh uh, that's news to me!

Isaaru: People want to see the former sacred lands, Zanarkand, and I'm a guide.

Isaaru: We have plenty of visitors, Sphere Hunters too.

Rikku: Errrgh, what's that old man thinking!

Isaaru: You don't seem pleased.

Isaaru: This site is Spira's history, and really important to its people.

Yuna: I know...

Yuna: ...I just wish they didn't have to come here...

Isaaru: Yuna?

Yuna: No, it's okay.

Isaaru: Alright, if you say so.

Isaaru: Well, I gotta get to work. It was nice seeing you.

*The trio heads towards the Yevon Dome*

????: Ready, Taro? Hana?

Taro: Er... what was the clue again?

Hana: Geez! It's "ru"!

????: Okay, let's go!

Taro & Hana: Go!

*Yuna follows them in*

Taro: Which way do we go?

????: Maybe it's this way!

Hana: Let's take a look.

*Continuing on, Yuna runs into them again*

????: Oh, Lady Yuna!

????: Remember me?
*- Of course!
- Sorry...

Yuna: Of course, Pacce

Pacce: Yay, you didn't forget about me!

Pacce: This is Hana, and over here is Taro.

Taro: Hullo, Lady Yuna.

Yuna: Isn't it a little dangerous with these fiends around here?

Hana: Fiends shmiends!

Pacce: Yeah! Besides, we're Sphere Hunters!

Pacce & Hana: The Kidwings!

Taro: Kidwings!

Rikku: So you guys are hunting for treasure here too?

Yuna: A clue for the treasure is "ru", I hear.

Pacce: Yep, that's right!

Hana: Heey! I paid 15 gil for that!

Hana: We gotta hurry up!

Pacce: Right.

Pacce: Kidwings, move out!

Pacce: Later, Yuna!

Paine: 15 gil a hint, eh...

* They continue on and see a monster taking a call*

Fiend: Ah, you there? Can you hear me now?

Fiend: Hey, I just wanted to check again. The clue was "sa", right?

Fiend: No, no, I just some kid say it was "ru" is why...

Fiend: Mm, mm... I knew it was "sa". Got it!

Paine: "ru" and "sa"?

Fiend: Wah, Gullwings!?

Yuna: "Rusa"?

Rikku: It's "Saru"! [[Editor's Note: saru = monkey in Japanese]]

Fiend: I'm gonna get you, for Lady LeBlanc!

*They fight, and continue until they are blocked by another fiend on the path*

Fiend: This place is just great... no, amazing!

Fiend: By the by, you wouldn't happen to be Sphere Hunters?
- Yeah, we're the Gullwings!
- No, just tourists.

Fiend: Well I appreciate your honesty.

*Further up, they find yet another fiend standing around*

Fiend 1: I have no desire to hurt children.

Fiend 2: But you guys are another story!


*Entering the puzzle area, they head into the back room*

Rikku: Okay, the clue was "saru", right?

Rikku: That can't be it, can it?

*On the steps they see some monkeys*

--Looks like he's in love--

*They descend and head into the back to find Cid*

Cid: Welcome!

Cid: Oh! What're you doin' here, Yuna?

Cid: Didya come to buy a clue from me?

Rikku (Al Bhed): yona todaji!

Cid: Eh?

Rikku: What's with all this clue crap you're peddling down here?

Cid: Hey you got a problem with it?
*- Nope!
- Well, yeah

Cid: Then what's yer beef?

Paine: You had said something about selling clues, didn't you?

Cid: That's right! But I'm all sold out right now.

Paine: What the heck?

Cid: I only sell four of 'em per day.

Rikku (Al Bhed): What the--!

*They speak to Cid's friend*

Man: Watch out for the monkeys, they'll rob ya.

Man: The ones in love, they're okay, though.


*Yuna and co. keep heading back, to the site of the battle with Yunalesca*

(Yuna)
"Two years ago, we cast aside something important in this place..."
"Our misguided hope."

*Moving in, they hear a voice*

Rikku: Who's there!?

????: You have done well to make it this far, Sphere Hunters!

????: But I cannot allow you to merely take the treasure!

Paine: Oh yeah?

????: To win the treasure, you must... say the password!

Paine: The password...?

Yuna: Oh, from the clues?

Rikku: I got it! The password is "saru"!

????: Almost! You're just missing one letter!

Yuna: Then, um...
- A
*- I
- U
- E
- O


Yuna: "isaru"?

Rikku: Hmm... isaru, isaru...

????: What? What was that?

Rikku: i-sa-ru!

????: Corrrrrect!

Yuna: Um... what was that all about?

Isaaru: This is also my job. It's a service for... the tourists.

Isaaru: This was once the destination for many on their journeys.

Isaaru: So I'm glad to be able to work here.

Yuna: That's good...

Isaaru: Oh, I almost forgot.

Isaaru: Your souvenir for solving the riddle!

[Got Result Plate [Heart of Restoration]!]

Isaaru: Thanks for coming.

Isaaru: The ruins of Zanarkand shall ever await your return!

Paine: I guess summoners come in all kinds too.

Yuna: I guess so, huh?

Rikku: Time to head back?

Yuna: Yes

Paine: Our computers picked up a sphere earlier, so there should be one somewhere.

Yuna: Right

Rikku: Oh yeah

Paine: Back to the mission, then.

*Descending the stairs at the back, they proceed to the end of the corridor*

Rikku: Hey! What's it doing here?

Paine: But of course...

Rikku: Give him our password, Paine.

Paine: Can of "Who-oop-ass", wasn't it?

*After the battle*

Rikku: Aww, it's broken!

Paine: Junk. Another waste of time.

Rikku: Think we should still take it?

Yuna: Even if we can't use it, I guess.

** Mission Complete! **


*Back on the airship*

Brother (Al Bhed): New info! Gullwings, mamihishiyute!

Dachi (Al Bhed): This is great...

Rikku: What's great?

Dachi: I've got data on a super-looking sphere, but there's already a crowd gathering.

Dachi: It's somewhere in Kilika forest.

Yuna: A super-looking sphere...

Rikku: Alright, competition! Ready?

Brother: Hey, hey! I'm leader around here!

Paine: What should we do?

Brother: We're going! It's a party!


[Kilika - Sphere Hunting PARTY!?]
[Everybody's gunning to get at the "super-looking sphere" on Kilika!
Gullwings, get out there and fight!]

(Yuna)
"Do you recognize this place? It's the port at Kilika!"
"They've made all this progress thanks to the help of the Youth Alliance"
"The villagers are very grateful for the aid, but lately there have been some problems."
"The Youth Alliance and the New Yevon party have been clashing, with Kilika's villagers caught in the middle."
