The sun shone down on the shimmering beach of Besaid Island. Two young boys passed a blitz-ball to each other. One was tall slender with long silver hair pulled back roughly in a ponytail parts of his bangs fell onto his sholders. he caught the ball and looked at the other boy who was staring at him with wide blue eyes. his hair was also silver but his was short and spiky. even though they were the same age the one with short hair looked much younger. He looked at the ball and held his hands out like an expectant child.
"Brother....thow" he muttered in a child-like tone. the older brother frowned lightly and threw it up into the air then kicked it towards his twin.
"Catch that Zack..." he said in a rather rough voice. Instantly the childish kid jumped up and with very little effort snatched the ball from the air.
"Caught..." he muttered. as he landed slowly as if floating holding the ball in his hand.

Walking down from Besaid Village to the docks was a man walking with a Machina Ranger in tow. What he was doing in Besaid and not somewhere else, it wasn't sure and it certainly was a mystery as to why the Ranger wasn't at Mi'ihen Highroad. As he walked past he appeared to be talking through a radio to someone.
"E ghuf dryd! E's uh so fyo du dra creb huf. E cruimt pa du Bikanel cuuh."

The two teens quickly spotted the odd man with his group speaking what then knew to be Al bhed. Kaze frowned lightly as he watched the man walk past his brow furrowed deeply. Kaze was rather tall for his age unlike his twin who was shorter with his long silver hair he looked like he could pass for an adult rather then a forteen something kid. As he watched the man walk towards the beach he looked at his brother who had his head tilted off to oneside his large blue eyes looking cruiously at him.
"...Al Bhed?" Zack asked in an almost monotone voice. Kaze slowly nodded his blue eyes sparkling with mischife.
"kyoumibukaku ? tsuduku tame ni wariateru ? mi rumata ha tabun kare ha watashi tachi ni nani ka o iu." he muttered in his easy deep voice. Zack forwned lightly looking like it was hard for him to wrap his mind around what his brother had said then nodded lightly.
"Ok...brother" he muttered.

"Cdub pyngehk yd sa. Oui lyh damm Nhadala du pa bydeahd."
It was obvious he was being rushed and thus he was in an unpleasant mood and wasn't being very sharp. He hadn't even noticed the other two males and boarded the ship without so much as a glance. Machina Ranger popped and grinded, hobbling its way behind him.
[Translation:Stop barking at me. You can tell Nhadala to be patient.]

Kaze followed slowly his brother keeping further away. the two were both some of the strangest children not just on the island but probably anywhere in spira. Kaze watched the man get on an airship his eyes making there slow acent up the huge ship.
"This...looks like fun...Zack" he muttered lightly. however when he looked back zack was crouched a few inches away. the boy had found a shell and was now looking at it while poking it slightly. Kaze groaned and glared at the other teen. "Zack forget it...come on..." he muttered slipping into the ship a few tense moments later Zack slipped in as well a confused look on his face.
"What about mother?" he muttered lightly looking back out the door. Kaze slowly waved the concern for there mother off as he tried to find a hiding spot.

The Al Bhed continued to argue with whoever was on the otherside of the radio line until the ship began it's course. He still had yet to notice the boys and with as irritated as he was that was probably a good thing. However Machina Ranger wasn't as slow as its "master" and began wobbling about the ship looking around. However the chances of it finding anything were slim to none considering it's mechanics were still in dire need of repair.

Zack looked like Kaze had slapped him with a wet fish when he waved off his comment.
"...Mother!" he said stomping his foot lightly his voice raising over what he normally used. compared to his oddly hollow voice normally this time his voice was full of emotions. "we have to say with mother!" he stomped again. His brother instantly grabbed him and clamped a hand firmly over Zack's mouth.
"Mother is fine...we will be back" he hissed lightly at his twin who was glaring up at him. slowly Kaze felt something warm and wet on his hand and instantly let go of Zack. "THAT'S DISGUSTING!" he suddenly yowled wiping his hand off while Zack stared at him his tong sticking out lightly from his mouth.

Okay now even the distracted Kayn heard that.
"Who's there?"
Machina Ranger went to the source of the noise, ready to fight if need be though it wouldn't take much more than a good kick to defeat it.
"Come out."

Kaze heard the man suddenly speak and froze lightly where he was standing behind a bulkhead on the ship. Zack looked at him his eyes still wide and young looking but there was a smug smirk on his face that made kaze want to strangle his twin right about now.
"Stay quiet" he hiss but Zack seemed to have other ideas as he slowly walked with in view of the man. his short stature and oddly messy thick hair that covered his bright blue eyes made him look like he was only 12 at the most. slowly the boy waved at the man. Kaze instantly smacked his hand into his forehead and sunk down the wall his legs eventually poking out from behind the bulk head.
"Anata baka desu..." he muttered from behind there to his brother who looked back at him feet.

Stowaways. Great. Just what he needed. Kayn groaned, cursing his luck before calling Machina Ranger back before it attacked Zack.
"What are you doing on this ship?"

Zack looked at the man with his wide eyes looking more like a doll then a human.
"Zack is here because of brother..." he muttered lightly turning to look at his brother who's boots where the only thing sticking out. slowly they disappeared from sight as the teen stood up and stepped out. unlike his scrawny brother Kaze looked like he was a full grown adult he was already 6'1" and was still growing. His mother had told him he had gotten his height from his father. Kazes lanky body witch was just slightly thinner then what should be healthy was clad in a black tank top and baggy black cargo pants. he had his arms crossed and actually looked somewhat commanding considering his situation. his crystal blue eyes were narrowed lightly at the man as he let a sigh escape his mouth.
"sorry...but...your Al Bhed...I was interested..." he muttered in a voice that just seemed to confirm that he was about ten years older then he really was.

"You shouldn't be here. Interested or not, you weren't invited."
He went on his radio again, letting the person he was previously arguing with know about the issue and getting, "Ruf luimt oui mad cdufyfyoc kad ypuynt dra creb, Kayn?! ...Cdub yd Tzuca Dasbma. E'mm dyga dras rusa."
"Stay here," Kayn told the boys before heading to speak to the captain. He was gone for a few minutes before coming back.
"We have to make a stop now because of you."
[Translation: How could you let stowaways get aboard the ship, Kayn?! ...Stop at Djose Temple. I'll take them home.]

Zack and Kaze were sitting next to the wall when he came back from calling. the tall teen looked up and a frown crossed his face. In the time he had been gone the taller one had pulled his hair out of it's ponytail his long bangs were now joined with more hair that seemed to hang around his face and down his shoulders while the rest of the silver hair cascaded down his back. It was about to his knees if one saw him standing.
"I don't want to go home" he said darkly his blue eyes looking at the man. "Besaid is boring..." he continued. Zack looked at his brother his eyes where sad as he looked at the other.
"But mother?" he muttered.
"She can wait...I want an adventure!" he growled standing up he looked at Kayn a smirk on his face. "Well work if you keep us with you...me and my brother know how to use swords...In case of a fight...we can take care of ourselves so you won't have to worry about it." he said puffing out his chest lightly. even though he looked like he was in his twenties it was obvious by the way he acted that he was still just a teenager.

Kayn snorted back a laugh. "You wouldn't last two minutes at the dig site in your conditions. It's harsh out there. "
He sat down on a barrel and removed the mask he had been wearing.
"You're not even equipped properly and Nhadala doesn't like it when the unprepared show up to dig."

Kaze frowned darkly as he stood there.
"Then help us get prepared...were tougher then we look...particularly Zack...I know he looks like a push over but he beats me and almost everyone on Besaid when it comes to a fight. " Kaze said crossing his arms. Zack looked up from the ground and slowly looked at him tilting his head from one side to another then finally he spoke.
"Zack want's coffee..." he muttered. Kaze looked at him and glared lightly.

"Nope. Not happening, boys. We're stopping at Djose Temple, dropping yo--"
Suddenly his radio crackled and cut in, "Kayn, yna oui drana?"
"Fryd?"
"Cid fyhdc oui du cdub eh Zanarkand yht kad cusadrehk pavuna oui kad rana."
Kayn groaned, nearly crushing the radio in his hand. "Veha..."
He instructed Zack and Kaze to stay put again before going back to the captain. When he returned he shut off his radio.
"Looks like we'll be making one more stop before we get to Djose."
[Translation: "Kayn, are you there?" "What?" "Cid wants you to stop in Zanarkand and get something before you get here." "Fine..."]

Kaze smirked when the man came back an announced that they would be going somewhere else. Hopefully that would allow him to prove himself to this man. He slowly gathered his hair back in his ponytail and crossed his arms when he was done.
"Oh really...sounds good to me." he smirked. Zack looked up at him and frowned his large blue eyes showing sadness.
"Mother..." he muttered to Kaze who scoffed lightly.

Unfortunately for Kaze there wasn't much proving he could do in Zanarkand now. Since it had been turned into a tourist attraction the place had been pretty much cleared of fiends and was mainly a place of tranquility and novelty. It didn't take long before they arrived.
"Don't take off." was all Kayn said as they got off the ship.

both of them had stepped off the ship with him and looked around lightly. to Kaze's annoyance the place was placid as people where waiting for a tour to start. this was not his idea of fun. he looked at his brother who blinked lightly
"Brother?" Zack muttered lightly. Kaze smirked and grabbed his arm.
"Come on..." he said making his way into the ruins. Zack was pulled along like a ragdoll by the taller teen.
"Said no..." he muttered in a broken speach. Kaze shrugged lightly.
"So...he may have said no...but I wan't to have some fun" he said as he pulled him deeper into the old ruined city.

Obviously Kayn wasn't interested in playing babysitter so he didn't notice when the boys took off. He went into the ruins and headed directly for where Cid had himself stationed. Machina Ranger stayed on the ship and it it's place a Machina Soldier that had been sitting on the ship followed him instead.
It wasn't until he got halfway to his destination did he notice that Zack and Kaze were gone.
"Cred..."
[Translation: "Shit..."]
