As soon as the Lunar Whale landed, Rydia headed toward the Garden at a brisk pace. She wasn't so foolhardy as to charge ahead by herself, but felt the urgency of this mission keenly and wanted to see it finished as soon as possible. Laguna's family was depending on them, and she knew Alexandria was under threat. They had to accomplish their goal as soon as possible.

Upon reaching the Garden entrance, Rydia paused and glanced to the others, especially Tidus. Thanks to their experience last year, they weren't completely unfamiliar with the layout of the Garden. It was time to put that knowledge to use. Once everyone was ready, Rydia continued. It was time to find everyone.
