Nooj: Greetings, friends! An important sphere is hidden in Kilika Temple. A sphere documenting the true history of Spira. We are here today to demand that New Yevon make the contents of that sphere public. Yet, as always, the voice seeking truth goes ignored. My friends, I ask you: why? Because New Yevon wants to hide the truth! Just as the temples did before them! I tell you now, this has gone on long enough! My friends, stand with me, and together we will bring the truth back to the people.

The people cheer.

Nooj: But...let's not overdo it. Our opponents aren't as young as they used to be.

Nooj: So did you watch it?

Rikku: Hm?

Nooj: The sphere.

Rikku: Well um, you see... I, uh... Um, uh... Heheh?

Yuna: We did.

Nooj: Forget.

Yuna: I'm afraid I cannot.

Paine: Yuna! Don't let him push you around.

Nooj: Some advice: That...thing... The colossus you saw is known as Vegnagun. It possesses overwhelming destructive power. It must not be touched! Yet those Yevon fools think they can control it. The Youth League will do whatever it takes to make sure they do not get a chance to try. Trust me, you don't want to get involved.

Nooj: Perhaps this is fate?

Paine: I don't think so.

Leblanc: Noojie-Woojie is such a manly man, don't you think? He can be blunt, but that makes the occasional smile all the more irresistible! That godly smile... That's the whole reason I became a sphere hunter. Oh, if only there were some miracle sphere...something that could make him truly happy. What I wouldn't give!

Paine: They're old friends. The three of them were candidates for the Crimson Squad. And I was the recorder assigned to their team. Yevon created the Squad and started training members two years ago. It was supposed to be an elite fighting force. The best were to be assigned leadership of Crusader chapters across Spira...

Yuna: But?

Paine: The Squad was destroyed before that happened. Most of the candidates died. An accident. The four of us were separated then. Things happened. I don't get it. I was there. I saw everything. But still. I don't know why it happened that way. Even now. So I went to look...for some answers.

Nooj: I've got a plan.

Gippal: If it doesn't work?

Nooj: Death will be my apology.

Gippal: Whatever, man. When a Deathseeker dies, that's no apology. What about Leblanc?

Nooj: Well, she-

Lucil: When the Calm arrived two years ago, it echoed deep in the hearts of Spira's youth. With Sin's defeat, we had lost not only our mortal enemy, but also our purpose in life. I, too, felt lost. I did not know what direction to take, where to channel my energy. It was Meayvn Nooj who guided our lost generation to a new purpose: to uncover Spira's true past. This is the same man who was once called Deathseeker, who made no attempt to hide his despair. What caused Meayvn Nooj to change? That is not for us to know. Nonetheless, under Nooj's leadership, we finally found a way to apply our strength. But look at us now! The power we hoped to use for good has intoxicated us all. Even Nooj. The Youth League is in danger of becoming a mindless band of thugs that know only violence. A power that destroys rather than creates. Without meaning. No better than Sin. Do you remember why the Youth League seeks the truth behind Spira's past? Because Spira's past is the foundation for its future. Our power exists so that we may cut a new road, to a new age. An age where children will never have to lift a sword!

Baralai: Nooj?

Paine: Captain.

Baralai: Ah, that's perfect.

Nooj: You'd let an amateur be captain?

Gippal: Chill out, Noojster. All you gotta do is shut up and look important and you'll fit the part.

Paine: Like a glove.

Nooj: I'll work you like dogs.

Nooj: No one knows just where our voyage will lead us. But we do know one thing: One way or another, we will get by. We'll go on living. The Calm will continue.
