Final Fantasy X: Chapter 4: New Assignment
Cid’s airship hovered peacefully over the Calm Lands. Several people walked along the grass towards the airship. A boy about sixteen years of age, stood with his hands balled up into fists, on his hips. He had blonde hair, looking slightly messy and wore a Zanarkand Abes blitzball team necklace. He wore a light, yellow vest, that had a white hood on the back of it. On his left arm he wore a blue, leather, shoulder guard, with a red, lace elbow guard at the end of it. On his forearm, he had a gold forearm guard, that extended over his hands and fingers as well, and underneath the forearm guard was a bronze flexibal chain plate. On his right arm, he wore a single, black glove, and other than the sleeve from the vest, that was all that was on his arm and shoulder. In a very large hilt, behind his back, that had a strap over his shoulder going down to his waist, there was a sword called the Caladbolg.
It was a light blue sword, with ancient scripture, and pictures all over it. It wasn’t a smoothly cut sword. Instead, it was purposely cut jaggedly, to tear at whoever wield it’s opponents.
Besides the black glove on his right hand, the boy also wore black leather over-alls, that had a zipper down the middle. He had a belt going around it as well, that being the place where his waist was apparently. It was a black belt with a silver buckle.
The black, leather overalls, didn’t go down to his feet though. The stopped half-way down his upper leg. That’s where his shorts came in. He had a pair of short shorts on that were black as well, although they weren’t leather. And on the right leg he had an extra part of the shorts sewn onto his short shorts, that had a red and yellow Zanarkand Abes blitzball insignia on it.
And finally, he wore black socks on his feet, and had yellow hiking boots on, even though the boy never really hiked.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” the boy said, “My name is Tidus Summers, but you guys can just call me Tidus. Now, before we meet the captain of the airship, I want you all to run through you’re names again one more time to make sure we’re on the same page here.”
Lulu was the first to speak. She was wearing what she was wearing just yesterday, only she seemed slightly more shy. She had her hands behind her back, and had a cute little smile, obviously enjoying the “cuteness” of Tidus.
“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Lulu,” Lulu said, still staring at Tidus.
Kimarhi stood up straight, with his hands curled up into fists like Tidus’s only much bigger, and had them resting on his hips. He showed no sign of emotion whatsoever, and said: “Kimarhi.”
Wakka was resting on the ground looking around curiously, wondering what he was doing here.
“I don’t know what’s goin’ on around here, but my names Wakka. I’m the ex-cap’n of the Besaid Aurochs,” Wakka said.
Yuna, who already knew who the pilot was, and had been on the airship several times before saluted, and smiled cheerfully.
“Yuna reporting for duty Tidus.”
“Knock it off, Yuna,” Tidus said with a smile.
A long staircase extended out of the bottom of the airship. Tidus was the first to walk onto it. Yuna soon followed, and then Wakka, and then Lulu and then Kimarhi.
“There’s no denying you’ve got a beautiful airship here, ya? But what kind of captain gathers a group of people like us, ya?” Wakka asked.
“The kind who wants a fighting chance against Yevon, and Sin, I’d imagine. All five of us are about to meet the leader of the Al Bhed, and if you want to stay after hearing his offer, then you have to work for him as well. We’ll be defying Yevon, and trying to defeat Sin. But you’ll also have a roof over your head, plenty of food, and not have to be persecuted by other people because they think you’re crazy, or because you’re a summoner, or maybe even because you’re an ex-captain of the Besaid Aurochs,” Tidus explained.
Once everyone was inside the airship, Tidus led everyone up a ramp leading away from some sort of machine. Judging by the amount of noise, and the slight shaking of the machine, what they were walking away from was in fact, the engine. There were a lot of Al Bhed in the engine room. Six of them, in fact. Three of them were sitting down on the ground, resting. One of them was leaning against the engine, apparently not minding the shaking of it. Finally, the other two were jogging up and down on the ramp, exercising.
“Aren’t you worried these Al Bhed will tell someone you’re running a safehouse for illegal Ronso?” Kimarhi asked trying to point out the fact that he may be a danger to everyone else.
“Not in the slightest, Kimarhi. These fine gentleman work for me,” said a loud hoarse voice from the loudspeaker. Tidus and Yuna were unfazed, but Wakka, Lulu, and Kimarhi were all startled.
“Plus, we don’t want those Yevonites raiding our airship,” the voice continued.
“Is it just Kimarhi or is there some creepy guy talking about Yevonites?” Kimarhi asked.
Tidus led Yuna, Wakka, Lulu, and Kimarhi into a hallway, with three other Al Bhed by the wall talking. The hallway was lit up, with pink, purple, green, yellow, blue, and red lights, coming out of the sides of the floor and ceiling. There was a door on the right, and a panel to the left of it. Tidus took off his glove and placed his right hand onto the panel. The panel glowed bright green for a moment, and then the door to the right of it opened. Yuna led Wakka, Lulu, and Kimarhi in. Tidus filed in from the back.
In here was a much shorter hallway in length. The walls were black, with tin grates going along the sides of the floors, covering little blue lights. At the end of it was a black door, that didn’t have any handles or doorknobs of any kind whatsoever on it.
“Come in, my friends. Join me for a Perrier in the cockpit,” the voice over the loudspeaker said again, as Yuna walked forward. The door automatically slid open, and Tidus was the first the follow Yuna. Wakka out of sheer curiosity and amazement, came in second. Kimarhi was curious as well, so he followed Wakka. Finally, because she didn’t want to be left behind, Lulu followed as well.
“My name is Captain Cid Xavier. You’ll have to forgive me for not bringing you hear myself,” said a man standing in front of a blue globe. The man was bald, and seemed to be middle-aged. He wore yellow and light-brown tights, that had long sleeves, and a zipper down the middle. He wore blue, light-brown, and yellow boots, the tip, being blue, the heel being brown, and the rest being yellow.
“This might sound like a stupid question, ya? But is a room still a cockpit if it doesn’t have a pilot?” Wakka asked.
Lulu eyed the Cid suspiciously waiting for an answer.
“I’m afraid, the technology on this airship has reached the point where it doesn’t need a pilot, Wakka. Instead, I use this digital globe and that control panel over there to pilot this ship. Only in emergencies do I use the manual controls,” Cid answered gesturing to his left.
There was a control panel with many dials, buttons, and switches on it, with a single blue screen in the front of it.
“Fascinating,” Wakka replied.
“No, what’s fascinating is that two grown people are talking to this man without even knowing why they are here. I’m grateful for the roof over my head while all this anti-black mage hysteria is going on outside, but could you please explain what you want from us?” Lulu asked.
“Ah, yes. I still haven’t explained that have I? You’re here because of an old friend of mine, named Seymour,” Cid said.
“I thought you said you had nothing to do with Seymour,” Lulu said.
“On the contrary, my dear. There was a time when Seymour and I were like brothers. I was the one who helped him build his Guado and Al Bhed sanctuary in that lost, forgotten desert. A refuge for anyone seeking respite from the kind of persecution we had always faced. For a while, it seemed like our little hiding place in Omega Ruins was as close as Yunalesca’s Spira could ever come to the Farplane,” Cid explained, “But sadly, nothing lasts forever.”
“What went wrong?” Kimarhi asked.
“Let’s just say Seymour and I had something of a falling out,” Cid answered.
Cid could remember the pain. He was running for his life through the woods. It was at the beach that the pain from Anima’s Pain attack stuck him. He fell to the ground, with a soft thud. There was a huge gash on the right side of his body. It went from his leg, all the way up to his ribs. He couldn’t even remember how he survived…
“As in he wanted the Guado to overthrow the status quo and you had the temerity to disagree with him?” Wakka asked.
“Precisely. I’ve long held the opinion that the only guarantee in a confrontation between man and Guado is extinction on both sides. That’s why I escaped here and formed this school. And why it was so essential that I found you before he did. Make no mistake, children: We’re here to stop a war,” Cid answered.
“How did you manage to find us, anyway? Kimarhi always been pretty careful about covering his tracks,” Kimarhi said.
“The same way I found the young man who said he was from the Zanarkand Abes and the sixteen-year-old girl who could summon aeons, Kimarhi. The computer over there, that I pointed out earlier. The digital globe behind me allows me to pick anyplace on Spira I want to go, but that computer over there allows me to pick the exact spot that I want it to go. It gives me a closeup of whichever spot I choose, in case there may be danger waiting for me when I land, or if perhaps in fact there is no place to land, like I chose a gorge or something. And plus, it certainly gives me a head over Seymour’s currently using to locate recruits for his non-Guado henchmen. I was actually just in the middle of using it the search for another potential member to our team when I heard Tidus drawing up in the people carrier outside. A twenty-five-year-old man who ran away from home when he realized he may be qualified as a traitor of Yevon, terrified that his roommates might get hurt if Yevon soilders attacked his suburban home. His name, I believe, is Gippal Drake, but I’m afraid I don’t know what useful ness he may have to us yet.”
Merely an hour later, Yuna, Lulu, Tidus, Kimarhi, and Wakka were all on the Djose Highroad searching for Gippal. All five of them were given a two way radio so they could keep in contact with each other. They wore it over there ears, and there was a small mike attached to it, that curved around in front of the mouths, kind of like a cell phone headset.
It was very busy today. Busier than usual. Just their luck, for the Djose Highroad to be busy, while they were looking for one person. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
“I must be out of my mind: It’s Saturday night and I’m prowling the Djose Highroad looking for some blonde guy. Remind me how Cid talked me into this again, Tidus?” Lulu asked.
The whole team split up in the search for Gippal. They figured it made more sense, that way they could cover more ground. Yuna and Lulu went together, Tidus and Kimarhi went together, and Wakka went alone.
“Because you know what it’s like to be on the run, Lulu. Besides, could you really lie around watching T.V. while this poor guy gets barbecued in the next Sin attack?” Tidus asked.
“Barbecues off the menu, Tidus. I’ve just spotted Gippal thirty feet away from me and the only thing he’s in danger of is a sore foot from walking,” Wakka explained.
“Not from where I’m standing, people. Turn around,” Yuna ordered.
There stood Sin. His ugly face staring down upon the people on the Djose Highroad not even a mile away. 5 Sinscales launched off of Sin’s back.
“Tidus to Wakka: I know you haven’t been trained for this, man, and I hate to throw you in at the deep end, but…”
“I know, I know…” Wakka muttered into the radio. A lot of people were running and screaming everywhere. Eight of them were running in Wakka’s direction. He had to fight his way through the crowd, to get to Gippal.
Gippal was running for his life the other way, when he tripped on a rock. He fell face forward, onto the hard ground. A Sinscale landed right behind him, and opened up, flicking it’s fangs, side-to-side.
“Perils of being the big monkey-like guy on any team, Tidus,” Wakka said diving under the Sinscale.
The Sinscale’s wings started to flicker. Despite Gippal’s size, Wakka still managed to lift Gippal up with one arm, and run about half as fast as normal. Good thing he was a really fast runner because a spike shot out, and landed on the ground right where Gippal was.
“But all the blitzballs in the world aren’t going to save now that this Sinscale’s after me. Any chance of some backup be me and Gippal’s obituaries appear in the morning papers?” Wakka asked.
“Backup are having their arms twisted right now, Wakka. Good work, by the way,” Tidus said through the radio.
Back at the South End of the Djose Highroad, Tidus, Yuna, Lulu, and Kimarhi were gathered. Tidus seemed very serious and determined. He cleared his throat to speak. Yuna had a bright happy smile on her face, while Lulu was terrified. Kimarhi stood the farthest away, with his arms folded across his chest showing no sign of emotion.
Yuna pulled out her Nirvana rod. It had a bluish-whitish handle with two redish-yellowish strings attached to the end of it. The tip had a pink and gold butterfly, made out of gold on it. It was very beautiful. If it wasn’t used for a weapon you would think it was a priceless piece of art.
Lulu pulled out her Onion Knight. It was a stuffed animal with a fake, soft, stuffed pumpkin head for a hat. It had a silver cone tip, with a tiny yellow flag on it. The color of it’s skin was almost human like. It had slanted, brown eyebrows, with big green eyes. It had baise clothes on with orange and yellow armor, on it’s upper body and shoulders. It had orange gloves on both it’s hands. In it’s right hand in had a teeny tiny, rubber sword, and in it’s left hand it had a teeny tiny, plastic shield. It also wore orange and yellow armored shoes, and finally had a little yellow cape, coming out of the back.
Finally, Kimarhi pulled out his Spirit Lance. It had a brown handle, with a small yellow tip. Gold and yellow feathers were glued to the top of the lance, right under the sharp part of it. It was a stainless steel, gold, white, and orange painted tip; very jagged, and carefully made. Not many could wield such a weapon as this.
“Okay, I know the circumstances are hardly ideal to see if our teamwork’s up to scratch, but Yuna and I can’t do this alone. I’m just praying you guys are half as good as Cid seems to think you are,” Tidus explained. “Yuna, support Kimarhi with Cure magic. Kimarhi, kill those two on your left. Lulu, you stick with me.”
“Forget it, Tidus. You don’t understand The last time I tried to use my powers I almost electrocuted an entire play ground full of twelve-year-olds,” Lulu explained.
“This isn’t open to debate, Lulu. You either pitch in and help or we’re all sleeping in a shallow grave tonight,” Tidus explained. “I don’t have time to get on my knees here.”
“Okay, okay. I’ll give it a try,” Lulu said. But don’t blame me if I wipe out the Djose Highroad by mistake.”
The clouds in the sky turned gray. Another Sinscale landed nearby. Thunder boomed, and lightning struck.
KRAAAAAAAAAK! Three Sinscales were struck down.
“Whoa! So much for the girl who couldn’t control her powers. You just took out three Sinscales in a single strike,” Tidus said turning to Lulu. “Lulu? Oh, shit.”
Lulu layed on the ground, with her hands over her head. She was unconscious and her head was facing the sky.
“Kimarhi to Wakka: You still need that backup?” Kimarhi asked through the radio.
A spike shot out of a Sinscale’s mouth and punctured the wall where Wakka was.
“Actually, everything’s pretty much under control again now that I’m accustomed to Gippal’s extra hundred and thirty pounds. You might want to lend Yuna a hand though. She looks pretty stressed for such an easy-going girl,” Wakka suggested.
“What? We’re the ones who’re completely surrounded,” Gippal said.
Wakka came to a screeching halt as a Sinscale jumped in front of him.
“Take it easy, Gippal. I’ve been getting shot at since my old man used to come home drunk and take potshots at me when I was sleeping in my crib,” Wakka replied.
The Sinscale that was behind him stopped. That Sinscale and the Sinscale behind him’s wings started to flicker.
“You learn a few good tricks when you’ve been a target all your life,” Wakka muttered.
Wakka immeadietly ducked when he saw the wings start to flicker, dragging Gippal down with him. The spikes shot out of the mouths, and struck the opposite Sinscale. They both dropped dead. Wakka got up, and helped Gippal to his feet. Together they continued to run along the Djose Highroad.
“I can’t believe we’re still alive here, Yuna. Are we down to the last Sinscale or have I still got blood in my eyes?” Tidus asked over the radio.
“Down to the last two, Tidus,” Yuna answered. “Turns out Lulu only took out two Sinscales with that lightning strike, and the other was badly wounded. I summoned Valefor and am fighting it off right now.”
“Yuna! Stand back!” Kimarhi shouted.
Kimarhi used his Lancet ability to finish off the Sinscale. With the energy he got from that Sinscale, he felt brand new. Suddenly, a Sinscale punctured Kimarhi’s leg. Kimarhi let out a grunt, and fell to the ground clutching his lower leg.
“Kimarhi!” Tidus yelled.
Tidus had Lulu swung over his back.
“Over here you piece of trash!” Tidus exclaimed, using a fire spell to distract the Sinscale.
He dropped Lulu to the ground.
Yuna ran over to Kimarhi and came to his aid. She cast a Cure spell, and then tried to help Kimarhi pull the spike out. Valefor landed next to her and watched intently.
Tidus’s sword was in his hilt. The Sinscale ran over to Tidus, and pinned him down on the ground.
“Good boy,” Tidus muttered.
Wakka and Gippal finally arrived.
The Sinscale launched it’s face at Tidus’s, but hit dirt when Tidus rolled onto his side.
“I know what you’re thinking, incidentally. You think the only way I can attack you is by hitting you with a fire spell, don’t you?” Tidus asked.
Tidus slid his sword out of it’s hilt.
“Bad news, dumbass.”
Tidus stabbed the Sinscale’s jaw with his Caladbolg, and it went straight through his head.
Suddenly, a Sinspawn thrust out of the ground. It was big and black, and had tentacles at the top. It seemed to be covered in this sort of transparent blue saliva, that glimmered occasionally.
“Think fast, Yuna!” Tidus shouted.
“You’re covered, Tidus,” Yuna said casting a protect spell on Tidus. “It’s the people that things launching it’s tentacles at I’m panicking about now. Go, Valefor! Kill it!”
The Sinspawn launched one of it’s tentacles at a little boy, crouched on the ground, crying, about 500 feet away.
“So what are you doing standing around? Do something!” Tidus yelled.
“But Valefor isn’t fast enough! It can’t get to the tentacle in time.
“OH MY GOD!” Tidus screamed.
The tentacle was nearly upon the little boy.
Gippal looked around. He saw a large machine on the ground. He recognized it too. It was one of the new Al Bhed weapons. It was called the launcher. You pull the trigger and it launched napalm. He rushed over to it, slung it over his shoulder, and aimed.
“WILL EVERYBODY SHUT UP AND JUST GET DOWN?!!” Gippal screamed.
Gippal pulled the trigger, and a ball of flame shot out and made a bulls-eye on the Sinspawn. Not even a foot away from the boy, was the tentacle, when the pyreflies left it.
“Way to go, Gippal Drake,” Yuna said thoroughly impressed.
Valefor turned back around and landed by Yuna. Yuna patted Valefor’s beak and then Valefor took off.
“Did… Did… Was that me?” Gippal asked.
“Ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause for Gippal, please,” Wakka said grabbing Gippal’s free arm and launching it into the air.
KLEEEESH! A beer bottle smashed into Gippal’s head.
Wakka turned to the culprit.
“You just split his head open, you idiot!” Wakka exclaimed, angrily.
Gippal put his hand on his head where he was hit. There was blood pouring down the side of his face.
“Good! I hope he’s dead! Maybe then blitzball players like you will finally get the message!” the culprit shouted.
It was an old lady dressed in a brown fur coat.
“Are you people insane? This man just saved your lives!” Yuna exclaimed, glaring at the crowd of people joining the old lady in throwing things.
“Yuna, let it go. It’s not worth it. Let’s just get out of here,” Tidus exclaimed pulling Yuna away.
Tidus was the first to leave the jeering crowd. He simply walked away ignoring the commoners. Wakka was the second to leave running after Tidus with Lulu in his arms. Then Kimarhi limping away, with Yuna jogging behind him.
Gippal took one last look at the jeering crowd. Tears welled up in his eyes. A Yevon soldier fired a bullet at Gippal. Fortuanetly, it just barely missed his head. Then Gippal sprinted after the others.
“Contrary to what we might have believed, it seems out old friend Cid Xavier is alive and well, gentlemen,” a sinister high pitched voice said.
“Seriously? I mean, I recognized Yuna Grey and a couple of the others we were after, but I didn’t see Cid in any of the news footage, Seymour,” another voice said, though more Al Bhedish, and in a lower tone.
“An organized cell of outcasts risking their lives for a few grinning primates? He might as well have signed the bottom of the screen, Brother,” Seymour replied.
“The arms dealers are waiting upstairs, Seymour,” the man from the video on the news a few days earlier before said. His face was covered in shadow.
“Ah, the fat, little Guado who managed to lose my rod. Tell him to wait in the music room, Barthello. I’m going to watch the videotape again,” Seymour ordered.
A few minutes later, Seymour came down, followed by four people. The Barthello, the girl from the video several days ago, and two other people.
“Oh, Seymour. How can I ever thank you for giving me this chance to explain, sir?” the hooded Guado from a few days past before said.
“I’m afraid you misunderstand, Ahmed. I didn’t grant you this audience to listen to your stuttering, half-baked excuses. You’re here to be made an example of, little man,” Seymour explained. “Tell me: Are you still fitted with that pacemaker after a lifetime of overreacting and neglect?”
“Yes, but I don’t see what that’s got to do with…”
Seymour thrust his hand through the Guado.
“Oh God,” the Guado said.
Seymour dragged the pacemaker out and dropped it on the ground.
The Guado covered the hole in his body with his long fingers, and clumped to the ground.
“Clean up the mess, Dona,” Seymour ordered the girl from the tape from several days ago.
“Cid has resurfaced, Barthello,” Seymour said putting his arm around Barthello’s neck. “Just as I always knew he would. He’s established a little power base for himself and assembled a rival camp to our own.”
“Just tell me where he is and I promise he’ll be dead between the next two days, sir,” Barthello said.
“Oh, shut up, Barthello. Cid would close have you killed before you reached Bevelle. I need a qualified assassin to find him and kill him before he recruits any other people to his naïve intergrationist ideals…”
A massive black side, with orange runes on it dropped down on top on a fiends head, in the desert. A man with graying hair on the sides lifted the heavy sword back up, and put it in it’s hilt.
“Tell Auron he has a new assignment.”
Auron then fixed his glasses so they were sitting on his nose straight.
Thanx for reading

FFX: Chapter 3: The Spellcaster and the Ronso
The Killika Piers weren't very busy today. There were only a few people walking around. A lot of them wore hats to protect their eyes from the sun. Killika was a very sunny place. A kind of friendly neighborhood area, on an island, with tropical weather.
Killika had it's own police station now, and it took up a lot of space. It wasn't part of the main piers though. It was built on a small island that you could only reach by boat.
The girl who met Wakka the day before, walked inside the entrance. It wasn't very busy. Mostly, just a few of the locals, all wearing blue, either doing paperwork or goofing off, not doing their jobs.
The girl from before walked to the back of the room, where a bald fat man, with a mustache was reading a magazine, about vacation spots. His computer was off. He wore a blue t-shirt, that had his name and: Killika Precinct, sewn onto it.
The girl pulled out a small can of spray that had words on it that read: Can't get out of going to work? Want to get a raise? Can't afford something in a store? Use this spray to confuse your enemies and have them work for you!
The fat man looked up, when a shadow loomed over his magazine. The girl quickly sprayed his face, with the contents that were in the spray can. Yellow mist came out, and when the man inhaled it, he started to cough. He only coughed a few times, and when he stopped he looked slightly dazed.
The girl pulled out Blockbuster Video Membership card from out of her front pocket.
"Excuse me, officer. Have you got a moment?" the girl asked in her airy voice.
"Heck, miss, I got two. What's up?" the man asked.
The girl held up her Blockbuster video card, to show it to the fat man.
"Well, despite the fact that I'm an attractive young girl, what your brain is actually registering at the moment is a middle-aged federal agent with all the relevant identification. Now let's stop wasting my time and yours and take a look at this mutant you boys said you found," the airy-voiced girl said.
"Y-yes, sir. Sorry, sir. I don't know what came over me. Thanks for coming down on such short notice," the man said.
"No problem, son. Ordinary Joes like you and me can't be too careful with all these shifty radioactive freaks on the loose," the girl said.
The fat man got up and pulled a key out of his desk.
"I know what you mean, sir. This little thief, for example, looks as human as you or me. It's hard to believe the freak created some kind of artificial lightning storm when we found her hiding in a tree in the woods only a couple of hours ago," the cop explained, leading the girl over to the door. "Lucky for us Miss Lulu Munroe here hasn't quite perfected her spellcasting abilities, or we'd be the ones nursing a few broken ribs instead of this little minx."
A woman with long black hair, sat in a cell. He long black hair was kept in three long braids, hanging down behind her. A little bit of her hair was held together with two chopstics in a bun. The hair that rested on her head was also put in braids, and stretched back towards the bun. The rest of her hair sorrounded her face. A few tufts of hair, sat neatly on the right side of her face. Then the rest of her hair covered her right eye and ear, almost like a half mask.
She wore lots of necklaces. One of them was a pearl necklace that seemed to wiegh a few pounds. It was a big pearl hanging on the ground or anything like that. Just dozens of small pearls going around her neck. There was another necklace that was made up of green and red beads. It was slightly longer than the pearl necklace, so it hung a bit lower around her neck. Then there was a very long one, with shiny purple plates, and two yellow beads in between each one. This necklace was so long that it sat on her chest, which was almost completely revealed since she wore no bra, and he black robes stopped just short from above the nipples. You would think that if she got doused with water, her top would fall right off. There was no visible means of support. Her robes, had long thick sleeves, that completely covered her arms, and almost completely covered her hands. The only part of her hands that you could see, were the fingers and finger nails. Below the waist line, the robes continued to flow down, but there was a huge gaping hole in the middle. Obviously, very revealing for a woman. Fortuanetly, Lulu had the sense the cover it up with dozens and dozens of belts leaving only one spot uncovered, showing part of her upper leg. Overall she seemed very gothic. She even had orange eyes, and purple lipstick, and eyeshadow. The only thing that wasn't a dark color was a stuffed moogle, that she held with both hands in her lap.
"Thank heavens for small mercies, deputy," the airy-voiced girl said.
KLA-CHIKT! The fat man opened the door, and let the airy-voiced girl in. A bag sat on the floor next to Lulu.
"Grab your things and start running, Lulu... The spray doesn't last very long, and the sheriff will be back any minute," the airy-voiced girl muttered.
Lulu slipped her arm through the bags handles, and followed the airy-voiced girl out of the holding cell.
"You're not another one of Seymour's stupid lackeys, are you? I've already told him I won't use my spells to help him enslave the human race," Lulu explained.
"Relax, sweetheart. My names Yuna Grey, and you're working for the competition now," the airy-voiced girl replied.
Djose Highroad. A busy dirt road, often filled with hovers, chocobos, and quickly moving people. A lot of people on the Highroad often wore hoods, for there were a lot of dealings with the Black Market on the Djose Highroad.
A tall hooded figure, and many smaller hooded figures stood to the side about three fourths of the way down the highroad.
"A little birdy informs me that every cent you're paid by Yevon gets sent back to your impoverished tribe on Mount Gagazet, Mr. Ronso," commented one hooded figure, who's robes were particularly decorative with red and green all over it, in a raspy voice. "I wonder, are all Ronsos such mother's boys, or is this behavior exclusive to the arms-dealing community?"
A few of the other hooded figures laughed and made snide comments.
"Just shut up and check the merchandise before I kick you so hard you'll be gulping with three adam's apples, Steve," the ronso snarled with much diffuculty. It seemed that this Ronso had taken alot of his time to learn proper English. To no surprise either. His race was very much hated, merely because his species had an animalistic look to them. If they LOOK like animals, then they get TREATED like animals. The ronso was holding a gray suitcase, and was wearing a dark blue robe, that matched his fur color. You could see part of his gray-haired looped braids dangling in front of him.
The ronso opened the suitcase and handed it to the hooded figure who spoke before.
"Your staff looks quite in order, young Ronso. I believe the gentleman I represent will be most satisfied," the hooded figure said confidently. He turned around and walked away, a few of the hooded figures moving aside so he could get through. "My thanks for such a smooth transaction, and I'm certain we shall do buisness again in the very near future. The hooded figure walked a few more paces, but the others stood where they were, a few of them watching their master, the others with their eyes on the Ronso.
The Ronso pulled out a wooden spear. It seemed to have broken in half at one point, judging by the bandages in the middle.
"Freeze, you little snake. Isn't it customary where you come from to let a buisness associate actually count the gil in every million gil deal?" the Ronso asked with much diffuculty once again.
"I'm afraid that depends entirely on whether they've just been handed a suitcase full of rocks, my dear, young friend..." said the hooded figure, turning his head slightly.
All the hooded figures except for the leader, and the Ronso, shouted spells, and many conjured, water, fire, ice, and thunder clashed together, causing a small crater to form in the wall. But the only part of the Ronso that they got was his robe. Charred remains of the robe lied on the ground. Some of the hooded figures seemed confused. Others were darting there heads around looking for the Ronso.
A spear landed hard and drove straight through one of the hooded figures, with a loud and disgusting: SCHLUNK! The Ronso pounced on another. The leader dropped the suitcase and ran for his life. The Ronso swung his spear around 5 times, killing them all.
"My thought's exactly," the Ronso muttered. Now that his robe was off, if anyone had been there they would have seen him in his full form. He had messy gray hair that went down to his shoulders, and had part of it in a pony-tail, and part of it, in two looped braids in the front. A horn came out of his forehead as well, but the tip of it was broken off. He was completely covered in blue fur. He had a gray beard two.
He wore two forearm guards, probably used for battle, and had a yellow pendant clipped to a patch of gray hair on his chest.
All over his upper body he wore what looked like leather strips that seemed mostly to be for decoration. He also had a small blue kevlar vest, that went around the lower portion of his torso, that covered his belly, and his higly developed stomach muscles.
For his waist and below, he wore a yellow, and brown battle girdle, around his waist. There was also a red lead line used to lead chocobos tied around his waist to hold up a green sort of welcome mat, that had many different polygonic shapes on it. His biceps and triceps were highly developed, as well. He had a long blue tail, with a gray tuft at the end. His fingers were shaped kind of oddly. They looked similar to a humans, but they moved and gripped differently. Also, his finger nails were sort of curved, and black. And finally, his feet were kind of like a cats paws.
Tears started streaming down the Ronso's blue furry face. He dropped his spear onto the earthy ground.
The girl from earlier that helped Wakka, and rescue Lulu walked up to the Ronso. But she wasn't wearing her usual garb. She wore a long white cloth that covered most of her upperbody, and was wearing a butterfly necklace. Draped over her forearms were faint pink shoulder free sleeves, two metal bracelts, around her right rist. Around her waist was a big yellow bow, that was tied in the back. It had many decorative flowers sewn onto it. The bow seemed to hold up a sort of dress violet-blue dress with flowers sewn onto THAT, which covered the top portion of stiletto black boots.
"I know what you're thinking, Kihmarhi. You think your cover's blown and you're all alone and you might as well stand here and wait for Yevon to come and lock you away, like a rabid animal now that the word is out that you're secretly a Ronso," the airy-voiced girl said sadly, pulling Khimarhi into hug. "But you're wrong. You are not alone. Welcome to the Gullwings, honey."

Saiya-boy: Chapter 14: Working Stiff
The policemen fell backwards, each of them being hit by a low level ki blast, launched by a tall pink alien. It was maybe 6 feet tall, and that was with its legs, squatted. However, that's how it was supposed to stand, in order to keep it's balance, it's anatomy was different than a-- okay. Anyway, one of the policemen was standing to the side of a KRINKS SECURITY truck, holding a shotgun, but dropped it instantly, when he got hit, and fell to the side. Another, who was inside of the truck loading bags of money, fell flat backwards, and the third, who was holding a bag out to the man in the truck, fell backwards too, onto the street.
"You rent-a-cops think you make enough an hour to take another hit of that? Then hand over a couple of bags, and make it snappy. I have a full plate today," ordered the pink alien in a high-pitched, virbatey voice. His voice sounded like a high-pitched, flat toned voice, who's head was shaking rapidly. The man who had the shotgun was folded up on the ground with his eyes closed. The shotgun, was lying on it's side, next to him.
"Please... Please just take... ...Take whatever you want..." the man who had the shotgun said weakly.
"No. I want you to crawl over here and hand it to me. I want you to give it to me," the pink alien explained, a wide grin on his face.
"Oh, if you say so..." said a powerful and stereotypical hero voice from above and behind the pink alien. It sounded like, Saiya-man's voice, from dragonballz, only more confident.
WHAK! Ryu drove a fist into the pink alien's cheek, sending blue spit flying out of the pink alien's mouth.
"...but you walked right into that one."
Ryu landed on the street, gently, with his arms crossed over his red armor, and his legs and feet pressed firmly together, giving off a sort of dark and malevolent look, towards his foe.
"Who are you supposed to be? Pinky? Where's The Brain?" Ryu mocked.
"Andross... You puffer!" the pink alien snarled with it's vibrating voice. Purple blood dripped from it's mouth.
Andross charged up an orange ki ball, but then Ryu just charged up another one more quickly, and blasted Andross with it.
"YYYAAARRRGGHHHH!" the alien screamed. The alien flopped to the floor with a smoking body.
(Man, I could've handled that better. He could have really hurt someone in the crowd. I should have disarmed disabled him before he knew what hit him,) Ryu thought.
Ryu looked back at the three security men, all three of them were back on their feet. The man that had the shotgun was tip-toeing over to the gun lying on the ground. The man in the truck was holding his head. The other man who fell backwards onto the street that was handing a bag to the man in the trucks had a bloody nose. He was holding a bag out in front of him, as if offering it to Ryu.
"How you guys doing? If any of you have a cell phone now would be the time to call the..."
"Just... Take it," the bloody nosed man said.
"What?" Ryu asked, not understanding what the man was saying.
"Just take what you want! Take it," the bloody nosed man said, hiding his face with the bag he was holding.
"What?" Ryu asked again still not understanding what he was trying to tell him.
He thought about this for a moment. Bag of money, security guard... Ryu being allowed to take bag of money, fear from guard...
"Thanks... ...but it doesn't match anything in else in my wardrobe. Call the cops, will ya?" Ryu said, dismissing the guards offer. Then Ryu jetted straight up into the air, leaving the three men, and a crowd of onlookers.

FFX: Chapter 2: Meet the Blitzball Player
Wakka was sitting in a pub in Besaid. It was pretty messy. The floor had beer spilt on it in some places, and there was a lot of crumbs by the pool tables. A red-haired bartender leaned against the bar watching a spherecast, smoking a cigar.
A sort of bronze colored man, minus the shininess, with tall red hair sat at the bar, with his hands clasped together, resting on a blitzball, holding up his face. His hair seemed to be in a sort curl at the top. The man must have used a lot of hair gel to keep it straight up and in a curl like that. He wore a blue headband and a brown lace necklace, with a small, plastic, gray fish hanging from the front. He also wore a orange vest, that revealed part of his chest, and shoulders. It was two black leather strips, connected by silver bolts, going over his shoulders, framing his chest, connecting the the back of the vest. About half way down the vest, the vest broke apart a little bit, revealing his belly button. While the vest was orange it had two blue Xs on either side of where the vest split.
On his right arm he had a brown forearm guard. On his left arm he wore a much more protective upper arm guard, a just as good forearm guard and a black glove.
He also had a pair of jean shorts, partially covered but what would be best described as "bucket shorts." There were yellow, slightly longer, and had two yellow strips connected to a brown belt that went around his jeans.
And finally he wore pale green sandals. A red and black duffle bag rested on the floor beside him.
Behind him was a bald, white man with sunglasses. He was smoking a cigarette, and had several peircings, on his right ear. He also had a goatee, and a black shirt that said: HD on the front of it. All along his arms he hand tattoos, that looked similar to graffiti, and wore a bronze wristband on his left arm. Finally, had had several black rings, on a few of his fingers, wore jeans, and had id, clipped to the waistband of his jeans. He was holding a particuarly long pool cue.
"Jeez, I haven't seen anyone looking so nervous watching TV since my old man bet the rent on last year's Blitzball Tournament. What's the matter, freak? You scared Sin will drop in here for a beer on the way back from Luca?" the bald man asked in a youthful raspy voice.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, sir, but I was under the impression that Yevon was only after Guado," the man sitting at the bar replied.
"Well, if you ain't a Guado, how do you explain that wacky hair-do of yours, dude? Was mom making out with a Guado behind your daddy's back or what?" the bald man asked mockingly.
"I'm sorry friend, but I think you've mistaken me for someone who walked in here looking for trouble," the red haired man said with forced calmness.
"Yeah, well, I reckon you just mistook me for someone who cares, you piece of shit!"
The bald man took the pool cue back as if getting to swing a baseball bat.The red haired man took the blitzball, from under his hands, and tossed it into the air, and ducked.
The bald man's pool cue smashed into the glasses on the table, sending shards of glass flying everywhere, narrowly missing the red-haired man's hair. The ball came back down, the red-haired man catching it with ease.
"Oh, sh..."
SMACK! The ball landed hard on the baldman's face, giving him a bloody nose. The bald man layed on the ground, knocked cold. He glasses were cracked and lopsided on his face. The bartender pulled out a two barrel shotgun.
"Get out of my bar, you filthy animal, or I swear to God I'll decorate this place with every brain cell in your head!" the bartender threatened.
"Are you serious? The guy came at me with a pool cue," the red haired man explained getting to his feet.
"That's right, freak: just keep mouthing off and giving me the excuse I was looking for to pull this trigger," the bartender said, with a sly smile on his face.
"Okay, okay. I'm going..." the red-haired man said grabbing the duffle bag and slinging over his shoulder, "...but the only reason I feel I can walk out of here with any dignity is that I didn't flush the toilet when I paid a visit to you men's room."
The bartenders smile turned to a frown.
The red-haired man walked down the hall to the exit. There was another hall leading off the the bathroom on his left. A woman was standing in the hall leaning against the wall.
She had long, light-brown hair that fell down to her shoulders. She wore a skimpy black top, that pushed her breasts up, and revealed her belly button. She had gold piercings, and earings on both of her ears. One eye was blue, and the other was green. She had two gold bracelets, on both of her wrists, and wore jeans, with a thick brown belt, going through the waistband. And finally, wore brown, rather ugly actually, Newbrand sneakers.
"Don't you ever wonder what it would be like to live in a place where the locals aren't organizing a lynch mob the second you walk through the door, Wakka McCoy?" the girl asked. Her voice seemed kind of airy, like a soft voice, mixed with someone breathing.
"Who the heck are you?" Wakka asked.
"The best thing that's happened to you since they started doing Reebok in a size 42, handsome."

Fun in the Sun!
I had a lot of fun today. First I went horse back riding and that was a lot of fun. It kinda reminds of a roller coaster whenever I jump or canter, because you go really fast. Then I went home and played video games for an hour. Then, I went to see my therapist, and even though it wasn't any different from any other session, I thought it was very productive. Then I went to a comic shop looking for a comic, and got a Yu-gi-oh! starter deck instead. After that, my mom's boyfriend Ray, and his daughter Evan came over, and we went to Sakura's japanese steak house. I didn't want to at first, but it was really cool. This guy did this trick with an egg-- o yeah! We got the head chef too- and he flipped the egg into the air like twenty times, and it didn't break once, and he caught on the sharp edge of a knife, and it still didn't break, then he jerked the knife onto the metal oven thingy, and the egg got cut clean in half. Then we had ice cream, and we all went home. It was loads of fun in the sun!

FFX- Chapter 1:
"Good evening: I'm Shelinda Eshelmen and you're watching the Luca News. Tonight's top story: Attack of the Sin-scales is a hailed a disaster as 10 people were killed and one was seriously wounded," said a girl with a green hat, and brown hair, in a news station in Luca.
The girl seemed to be very youthful. She looked young, and had a happy, and cheerful voice. Behind her in white lettering it read: Raid on Luca.
Then the screen switched to soilders, with flamethrowers, and guns, trying to fight off the Sin-scales. There was fire in the background, and a few people running back and forth in front of the camera.
"Were these Sin-scales behind the recent anit-human attacks on the Djose Highroad, and Bevelle? Police say the evidence is undeniable, but the Crusaders have condemned the Sin-scales as an "act of Yevon," provoking a stern Bevelle Palace Response:
Then the screen switched to a woman dressed in priestess garb, standing at a podium with a microphone. She had short blonde hair, and appeared to be possibly Al Bhed.
"How anyone can say that Yevon is behind the Sin-scale attacks is astonishing. The Grand Maester wishes to reaffirm his support for the men and women out there fighting to protect us all," the lady behind the podium declared.
Now the television screen was showing soilders with guns and flamethrowers, hanging by their belts, carrying and ushering men, women, and children to safety. There was a huge inferno sorrounding everyone.
"The Grand Maester's Press Secretary was, of course, referring to Sin's devastating blast on Mushroom Rock only seven days ago. And the subsequent broadcast from Seymour, ex-maester, Sin's controller..." Shelinda finished.
The screen switched once again, to Seymour sitting in a chair with a white, rather muscular man standing on his left, and a dark woman, wearing yellow, standing on his right. You couldn't see the man, or the woman's faces though. The Sphere Recorder was too low.
"Man is a parasite upon Guado resources. He eats our food, breathes our air and occupies land in which evolution intended Guado to inherit," explained Seymour in his sinister, high-pitched voice, "Naturally, our attacks upon your power bases will continue until you deliver this world to it's rightful owners."
The camera soomed in, on Seymour's eyes and nose.
"But your replacements grow impatient."

FFX- Prolouge
Sometimes it's dangerous to be a little different.
Many people walked along the streets of Luca. It was early morning. The sun was just rising. Several people turned around when they heard shrieks all around them. It wasn't like a shriek of fear or anything. It was as if an animal was crying out, like a battle cry or something.
The people saw 11 Sinscales dashing around, killing people. One man was dragged away, while trying to get into a bar for safety. Two more were killed. They were sitting at a table behind a plexi-glass panel. Another one was being eaten alive in the circle. One boy was running franticly for his life. He seemed to have a huge hole in his side. Something that looked like it was gouged out by something. His dog was barking a Sinscale that was following him.
The Sinscale quickly killed the dog, by biting it's neck, and with a quick jerk of it's neck, broke the dogs neck. The Sinscale turned toward the boy. It's wings flared. C-THUNK! The whole city was being invaded by Sinscales. There was blood everywhere.

Guess what!!
I'm starting a new fanfic! Yippee! I might come back to the one I've been working on later... Actually, I WILL come back and work on it later. But anyway, to avoid confusion for anyone who happens to read my fanfic, I will title the two different fanfic stories I'm writing. So the one that I've been writing so far I'm going to call: Saiya-boy. And then the new one that I haven't started yet will be called FFX. It's not a sequel to FFX or FFX-2. I'm just re-writing FFX a different way. All the characters will be there and everything. It'll be cool. Okay. That's it. Cya!

Pages (15): [ First ][ Previous ] 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 [ Next ] [ Last ]Chapter 13: Revelations
At first Ryu kept falling. The beam of glowing blue light, definitly slowed down his descent, be he was still following. Ryu concentrated even more. He felt as if he was putting every ounce of energy he had into this. In a few moments he stopped. He just sat there, in midair, with the glowing blue light beam thingy, still shooting out of his hands. Everything around him seemed to be tinted a light blue. Then suddenly, he started to rise up, slowly gaining speed and height. Soon he was going rapidly fast. And he was high above the school now. He looked behind him into the sky.
(Please work... Please work... Please work... Please work... Please work... Please work... Please work... Please work... Please work... Please work... Please work... Please work...)
Ryu let go of the beam. He didn't literally let go. It was just like, he stopped trying.
"HAYAHYAHWAAHHHAHAA!" Ryu screamed.
(Note to self: Remember to totally freak out of your flippin' mind over what you just did here. Okay. Back to buisness. Am I nuts or did that whatever that is just say my name?) Ryu thought.
The monster sat on a building not even a mile away from the school. It's purple blanket that it stole from that hobo whipped in the air.
"HRRUUUGGHH," the beast grunted.
It leaped off the roof top, and started bounding towards the school.
"You see that? I think that thing is coming back this way..." Charles muttered fearfully.
"He is. He's coming for me..." Ategev muttered fearfully as well.
Brieanna and Fred just watched.
(Okay. Here comes another little trick I was going to try in a less strenuous enviroment...) Ryu thought.
Ryu jetted straight towards the creature. It kept hopping twenty yards at a time, heading towards the school again. Ryu summoned a ki ball, in each of his hands. He shot both of them down at the monster, and continued firing at the monster as if his hands were like an automatic machine gun. None of them met their mark though. Fortunatley, either the beast didn't notice it, or didn't care.
Ryu dove in for the kill. He was about level with the creature now, whenever it landed. He was getting closer and closer. The monster landed on the ground and leaped back up again. Ryu was even closer now. Maybe only ten yards away from the beast's next landing point. He flipped around while still flying in the same direction. The monster landed on the ground again, right at the border of the school football field.
"Heads up, stinky!" Ryu exclaimed, thrusting his feet into the creature's back.
"GGYYYRRR!" the beast roared.
"Ya don't say!" Ryu said.
"Dude..." Charles muttered.
"I know," Fred replied.
Ryu uppercutted the creature into the air. The creature must have been a hundred feet in the air already. Ryu jetted straight up towards the monster, leaving the ground behind him.
He didn't do anything to the beast at first. Ryu decided he wanted to taunt the beast first.
"See? I tried to ask nicely... Remember that? When I was being all nice and you were trying to light me on fire and toss me like a water balloon? So, let me tell you what you're not going to do..."
Ryu balled up his fist, covered it with his left hand, and slammed the creature down hard. BONK!
"You're not going back to that school to start more shmmffr!"
The creature clutched Ryu's entire face, helmet and all, with it's enormous hand. Then he flung him down onto the school roof.
FEDUMP!
"Ow," Ryu commented.
The monster landed on the roof of the stairwell, on the roof. A few bricks crumbled, and the door fell flat open.
"All right! That's it," Ryu shot two ki balls directly towards the monster, "Time to break it out on you like Chow Yung Fat!"
The beast was trying to find his balance on the crumbling roof and fell backwards, letting the ki balls, whizz by him. Instead, they hit a W.C.P.D. (West City Police Department) chopper and blew the cockpit. BOOM!
"AHHH! What is that?" one police officer yelled, falling towards the ground.
"Or not! Uh... Sorry," Ryu called out.
There were three men. Two of them he caught while they were falling, and safely brought them to the ground. The other fell hard against the ground, and cracked at LEAST two of his bones.
"Oh man, what is that thing?" someone shouted, from another W.C.P.D. chopper.
One of the men who were caught by Ryu still had their radio.
"Uh... This is WC34 calling in for back up! Repeat: this is..."
"What the hell is going on? I think I'm gonna puke," the other man said.
"Be quiet, I'm radioing in for backup!" the man with the radio snapped.
"What was that thing that destroyed our helicopter?" the second man asked.
"Who cares? That thing is getting away!"
The beast bounded towards a bridge. It was very large, and appeared to be made of gray cement blocks. It kind of looked the the bridge over the Hudson Bay in New York, if anyone know's what that looks like.
"Oh no, you don't," Ryu muttered.
"HHURRYYGGH!" the creature roared, leaping from building to building.
"Hey, where do you think you're going?" Ryu asked, grasping onto the monster's purple blanket.
Suddenly, Ryu took flight, being pulled by the monster.
"Whoops!" Ryu exclaimed.
(Again, not the most well-thought out move. Might want to take a night class in mid-air huge monster fist fighting. Who is this guy?) Ryu thought.
The beast tossed off it's purple blanket, into the ocean.
(Oh man, I'm going to toss my cookies and... I haven't even had any cookies. In fact, I'm going to go home and have cookies, just so I can toss them!) Ryu thought.
He was falling towards the water. But not as rapidly as when he was falling towards the ground at his school. He concentrated harder than ever, and he suddenly stopped. And for a brief moment, he thought he saw what seemed like a white vapor moving around him, right when he stopped. But when he looked around, there was nothing there, so he simply dismissed the subject, and flew back up towards the creature.
A new W.C.P.D. chopper had arrived, and was giving orders to the monster, although it didn't seem to be listening.
"This is the WCPD! This is the police! Stand down!" the pilot announced through a loudspeaker on the helicopter.
(Better get my super heroic-butt back in the game. Those cops don't know what they're dealing with. Oh yeah, like I do. But at least I know he tosses ki balls and stuff.) Ryu thought, zomming straight up a suspension arch toward the creature.
"Lie down on the ground! You are under arrest! LIE FACE DOWN WITH YOUR HANDS OUT!" a police officer with an automatic rifle and a scope shouted, towards the monster.
The beast now had a ki ball, in each of it's hands.
Ryu landed right in front of the creature.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Everybody calm down! You put the gun away and you stop with the ki balls!" Ryu exclaimed.
"Stand down!" the police officer shouted again.
"What part of 'stop with the ki balls' don't you understand?" Ryu asked grabbing the monster's wrists, "I won't let you hurt these people! I won't! Why won't you tell me what you want?"
Both of the ki balls flared and grew larger. Ryu and the beast's face were just inches away from each other.
"I have the shot," the police officer with the gun said.
"Well then take it!" the pilot ordered.
"Oh no..."
Ryu was getting that tingling feeling again. Ryu let go of the creature, and dived to the side. 4 bullets made their mark on the monster.
"Oh my God!" Ryu muttered.
"Huufhh..."
The beast was bent over, but was still standing and had the ki balls. The second copter swung around behing the creature, and this time 3 bullets made their mark. BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
"HHARRR!" the monster screamed.
The ki balls dimmed away, and the beast put his right hand over his bullet wounds. It began to shake. Ryu saw blood pouring out of his chest.
"Stop it! Stop shooting!" Ryu shouted.
"RRRYYYUUU!" the creature growled.
"How do you know me?!" Ryu shouted.
The creature lunged at Ryu, but Ryu simply hovered off the ground and floated in the air. Just short of the monster's reach, leaving the monster to plummet down into the water below.
"Jeez..." Ryu muttered.
There was a big splash when the monster hit the water. Ryu watched it struggle to stay afloat. It slowly sank to the bottom, it's right hand extending out as if reaching for another hand. Then the water was calm.
Ryu turned back towards the two police helicopters.
"Listen, I'm going to go in and get him! Swing down and..."
"You are under arrest. Lie down on the ground with your hands out!" the man from the first helicopter holding the gun shouted.
"What? What did I do?" Ryu shouted.
(Uh-oh.)
"Do not move or we will open fire! You are under arrest. Lie down on the ground with your hands out! Remove your mask!" the pilot ordered over the loudspeaker in the helicopter.
The man with the gun was now POINTING the gun at Ryu.
"Wait... We gotta save him if we can..."
"Freeze!" the man with the gun shouted.
Ryu was getting that feeling again.
RATATATATATATATAT! Bullets sprayed out the gun. Ryu gracefully dodged each one, kneeling, and crouching, and cartwheeling and so on whenever nessacary.
SPING! SPING! SPING! SPING! SPING! SPING!
"Where'd he go? Do you have a visual?" the pilot asked.
"I got nothing. Swing around again..."
That evening there were police cars, fire trucks and ambulances everywhere. Even a few news channnels were there.
"We're live outside midtown high. A school under attack. A school under siege," a news lady reported.
"Is that the last of them?" one policeman asked.
Captain Nunes was there too.
"Who can tell? Place looks like a war zone," Captain Nunes answered.
"Try to take it slow, kid, that's quite a bruise," a blonde haired male medic said with a hand on Ryu's back.
"Not as bad as it looks," Ryu replied.
Ryu had a brown blanket wrapped around him.
"Ryu! Oh thank God," Brieanna said seeing Ryu walk across the grass.
"Flew right over our heads. Told you he could fly," Charles explained to a police officer who was jotting down notes.
"Guess we... We don't have to worry about mid-terms," another girl said.
"Found him under a chalkboard," one of the police officers said talking to Brieanna.
Fred was with his mom.
"Thank God," Brieanna said.
"Wow... Ow..." Ryu said taken aback by Brieanna hugging him.
"Ma'am please, don't squeeze him like taht, he might have a cracked rib," the medic advised.
"What was that thing? Dude, did you get a look at him? Did you see Saiya-boy?" Fred asked.
"Who? No. I got pinned under some stuff and..."
"Dude, what was that thing?" Fred asked.
"It was King Kong!" Charles exclaimed.
"Man, King Kong doesn't even exist," Fred argued.
"Doesn't matter now. The call came in. It's dead whatever it was," the police officer who was talking to Brieanna said.
"It was my father," Ategev spoke up.
Everyone turned to look at Ategev.
"He didn't die at his lab last week like they said," Ategev explained.
"Dude, you need a breather," Fred said.
"That was King Kong or something..." Charles muttered.
"In his lab. His lab. I was there. I saw it. I saw it with my own eyes!" Ategev exclaimed.
"Saw what?" Fred asked.
"He turned into that! Do you understand? He turned himself into that! On purpose! And he killed my mom, and burned down our house, and now he is trying to kill me," Ategev shouted.
"Maybe it's a good idea if you come with us, son," the police officer said, taking Ategev and leading him away.
"He turned himself into that thing. And no one will tell me why..." Ategev muttered.
Ms. Jordan pulled up in her car into the school parking lot.
"Oh my God! Oh my God! Ryu! We saw it on channel one," Videl said, getting out of the passenger said.
Ms. Jordan put on the emergency break and got out immeadietly dashing towards her daughter.
"I'm okay," Ryu said.
"Oh my God!" Videl said hugging Ryu.
"I'm okay," Ryu repeated.
"Oh, if anything happened to you..."
"I'm... OW!" Ryu exclaimed as Videl squeezed Ryu tighter.
"Mom..." Brieanna muttered as her mother looked over her for any bruises.
(Oh man, Ategev. Should I tell you the truth? How do I tell you? If that monster was your father, he wasn't trying to kill you, he was trying to kill me. Or maybe both of us. I don't even know. I mean, why would he want to kill either of us? Why? Did what happened to me happen to him? Ugh. I don't know. I don't even really know what happened to me yet. Does it even matter now? I mean, it's all over. Hang in there, Ategev.)
Ryu watched Ategev get in the car. The police officer started the car and drove away. He could still see helicopters flying around the bridge off in the distance.
There were police cars and ambulances everywhere. The two choppers from before were circling around, still looking for Ryu. There were two boats in the water. 8 bubbles floated up and out of the water.
