Chapter 1: A New Begining
I awoke to find myself laying in a strange place I did not recognize. I thought to myself, Where am I, How did I get here, come to think of it who am I, I looked at myself. I was wearing thick armor that flexed very eaisly, I couldn't help noticing how shiny the armor was, the fingers were pointed at the end making them claw-like. This was fortunate since I had no weapons, the rest of the armor was nothing to special really, except the helmet had some weird crest on the forehead, plus the chest arms and knees all had strange things that jutted out some. The ones on my right leg and torso were open like they could hold something. I disregarded it for now. I was more concerned with things like who I was and where I was. I looked around, it was a long tunnel, oddly coloured (im Canadian so I spell it that way so :p) and cave like. Not too far away from me was a staircase that lead up to what looked like a portal. Something told me to keep away so I listened to this feeling and was about to continue down the path in the oppisite direction when I saw something in front of me. It was me, well not really, it looked like me except more of an outline then anything, but it didn't look friendly. I was right too, it lunged at me and took a wide right swing, I leaned back and dodged it, then I kicked it in the torso, sending it flying into the wall. This thing is way too weak, I've got this battle, I thought as it lunged at me. I was obviously rigth too, because out of pure instinct I sidestepped the attack and slammed it to the ground. I then stabbed my claws right through it and it blew apart and the remnants flew into my head. I suddenly felt an overwhelming burst of heat and pain and I passed out. I had a dream though, but as I dreamed I realized this was a memory of who I was and what happened before I got here.
I saw a beautiful place it had waterfalls, and, the name suddenly came to me, it was the Farplane. Then I saw a man wearing black and white clothing, he had red eyes and his hair was slicked back and spiked in the back, it was me. Then I noticed a man he was talking to, blue hair and just an overall weird looking guy, then I knew, it was Seymour. He pointed to a platform, the area where the living come to see memorys of their past. He had explained to me there was a suit of armor that could allow me to leave this realm if I could reach it, it hung from the bottom. He had also told me if I left without it, I would turn into a fiend in a matter of hours. Then he told me the suit could make it months. I had managed to grab the armor and get out but I had lost all memory. This dream had given me a lot of memory, I now knew my name, Seymour and that he was an enemy, but I didn't know exactly why. Plus, I knew that I was dead, or rather still am and only have about nine months to revive myself and stop the process of me turning into a fiend.
I woke up and realized what I had to do. First, I picked up a stray rock and ran into the Farplane, I looked around for Seymour and just barely spotted him. I wound up and threw, nailed him right in the back of the head. I then ran out and continued on into what I somehow knew to be Guadosalam. I looked around but suddenly something came flying and nailed me right in the head. It bounced off and I fell to the ground, surprisingly it hadn't even hurt the slightest, it had just startled me really. I still decided to lay there for a minute, the person I assumed to be the owner of the object came running up with it in hand, I may have lost my memory but I knew what it was, it was definitely a very large shuriken. I stood up just as she started apologizing madly, "...so sorry, I didn't mean to hit anyone, I was just practicing, I can't believe I hit you , I'm so sorry," then she paused, and began gawking at my armor, "Not even a scratch!" I felt where the shuriken had hit me, sure enough the armor felt as smooth as it had before it had hit me.
"It's quite all right, I'm perfectly fine, just be careful about where you throw that from now on, looks like those blades could kill a person, who's not wearing as thick as armor as I am," I said after a short silence. I was aboutto leave but she held up her hand liek she wanted to say something but as I turned to face her she withdrew her hand.
"Umm well, I was just wondering, if you would, well you see..." she paused for a moment. I stood there waiting for her to say something. She was pretty good looking, hair was brown, blue eyes, seemed really shy though. Finally she seemed sure of what she was going to say, "Okay, look I'm part of a small group of sphere hunters and we've got no really strong fighters in our group really and since you looked really strong I was wondering if you would join our group and help us out," she had said it all in one breath, and looked almost tired now. I stood there thinking for a moment, sphere hunter sounded so familiar to me, why I knew nothing about them, in fact I had no idea what they were, well from the name I was pretty sure they hunted spheres but I really didn't know.
"Well, I'll consider it if you tell me what exactly a sphere hunter is," she didn't find this too strange, I guessed that a lot of people hadn't heard of these sphere hunters yet. She took a little while to explain but it really wasn't that complicated. As I had thought they hunted spheres which at the moment I had no clue of their purposes. There wasn't too much more then that except that they could take on other missions and business, if they wanted to. I thought it over for a moment and realized that maybe it wouldbe helpful in finding my memories, so I decided to agree. She seemed really excited when I told her, so excited in fact that she jumped on me and hugged me. "Umm, a little over excited there," I asked as she jumped off me and blushed. "By the way, my name's Chris and you are," I said realizing that we hadn't even introduced ourselves.
"Oh, I'm Stella, nice to meet you Chris," she said with a big smile on her face, "oh follow me, I suppose the others are going to freak now," she said leading me down the path. Suddenly on a short glance to my right I noticed someone. It was a girl with blonde hair in several braids, wearing a blue head band, but I couldn't exactly see her face at the moment. She was wearin a scarf that was red but near the bottom turned gradually orange, a yellow bikini top, strange white frilly sleeves, along with a dark greenish skirt and a yellow, belt with two carrying pouches, and blue and white boots. She looked somehow familiar. Then suddenly Stella walked up beside me, "Ha, it's that Rikku from the Gullwings, hey Rikku, no way are you getting that weird sphere around here before me," she yelled over to the girl, who was apparently named Rikku, somehow that name felt familiar too. She looked over and the instant I saw her eyes my head throbbed and I fell to my knees in pain. I shook it off and noticed that Rikku had her hand to her ear, then she looked up at us. I just noticed her daggers, they didn't look to threatening, unless you knew how to use them anyways, and since she had them, well of course she would have to know how to use them. Stella took off running and I was right behind her.
I didn't know why she was pursuing us but she was. Suddenly I took a look behind me and she was gone. Stella ran up neaxt to me, "Did we loose her," she asked, as I continued to look around.
"I'll go take a look around," I said jumping off into the trees since we had now exited Guadosalam. I jumped around for a bit and when I was almost sure there was no sign of her I heard a loud scream from behind me. "Dammit, can't anyone look after themselves," I said to myself jumping off towards the scream. I reached the closest spot to the scream. I looked down to the road and saw Stella just barely fending off Rikku and another girl dressed in black and wielding a large sword. "Well, it is my fault this happened, technically," I said to myself, still unsure if it was my fault. Doesn't matter she needs my help and I'll help anyone who needs me, I thought as I looked for a good opening to jump in. I lept from the tree and landed between Stella who had just been pushed back from gaurding one of the girl in black's harder swings. I landed with my back facing but slid and turned to face them, "Back off," I said in a low angry voice that shocked me a bit.
"This the guy that has the weird sphere," the girl in black asked Rikku who just nodded. "Well, buddy you gonna hand it over or do we have to take it from you," the girl in black asked getting into a fighting position. I looked back at Stella and tilted my head as a signal for her to get out of here. I was going to have to fight these tow, or at least hold them off till Stella got far enough away.
Yup, I wasn't satisfied with the ending of "Could it Possibly get Any Worse?" so I am writing a sequel and the reason I wrote a sequel instead of one big story is because this will go into the story of FFX-2 a little. Please review. Oh and have a fantabulis day/night (whenever ur reading this) :)
