Tales of the World: The Rannasia chronicles
Chapter 1
The World Tree, a magnificent plant which formed the world into the land of Rannasia. It produces its life source, Mana, a spiritual energy of sorts which allows the inhabitants of the world to use as magic. It stands at the centre of the world, secluded from the rest of the world. No one can set foot on the land of the World Tree as the monsters that live there is said to be the most dangerous beings of all of Rannasia and there is an entity at the centre of the tree, supposedly protecting it.
Not too far away from the tree, a ship was going by. On the bridge, a young girl was looking at the tree from afar. She had short pink hair; with it tied up to the left side of her head and it bloomed like a flower. She wore a one piece dress, completely white with long white gloves and black socks with white shoes. She was always fascinated about the World Tree. She always wished to go there.
"Kannono, are you up here?" A young voice of a girl called out to her. The voice soon appeared in front of her.
It was another young girl yet, in her case she is about the age of thirteen with dark skin and blue eyes. She wore a big black pirate hat which hid her short blonde hair and a stone on her forehead. She also had a red shirt with white long sleeves and orange pants and to finish off, she had white boots that passed her knees and had a green bag over her shoulder.
"There you are, I've been looking for you." The tiny girl walked up to her.
"Sorry about that Chat, I just wanted some air that's all." Kannono turned back to her.
"It's ok. Anyway, come back down, Chester is starting to get restless and it was starting to bother me."
"Oh, don't be harsh on him." Kannono giggled as she walked towards her.
She soon saw a bright light coming from the World Tree. It shone far into the sky and a being was coming from it. Chat and Kannono looked at what was going up. They don't know what happening and what is the World Tree was doing. Nothing like this ever happened before. The light soon died down and the two were still in awe.
"What was that?" Kannono said.
"I'm not sure. I never heard of the World Tree doing that before." Chat said in amazement. "I'm going to turn the Van Eltia there. I had to drop Reid and Rutee there for a mission anyway."
"R-right." Kannono followed Chat back into the ship.
The Van Eltia made the journey to the World Tree on a mission as well as reconnaissance. It wasn't too long until they finally reach land of the World Tree. The group of the mission set foot of the World Tree was a teenage boy with tanned skin, red hair and blue eyes. He wore a blue shirt with a white strip going across it and only above the midriff, odd gauntlets that matches the shirt, long pants and a sword by his left side of him. Next to him was a young woman, roughly as tall as the boy with short black hair and dark purple eyes and fair skin. She wore a red shirt with a black leather jacket over it along with black shorts and a red belt. She had shoulder pads on as well, wearing long black gloves and socks and white shoes. On the right side of her was single hand sword.
"I can't believe someone wants Flourite here." The boy sighed. "This place is dangerous as hell!"
"Oh quit whining Reid." The woman scolded him. "This is a big mission with big pay and I want that pay."
"Um, we're also here to search for that odd light as well." Kannono told them.
"Ah! Kannono! What are you doing here?"
"Yeah, we told you not to come along. The World Tree is dangerous."
"Oh come on!" Kannono whined. "This is my first time here! I asked Chester to take me along with those missions but you know how it is!"
"And with good reason missy." The woman patted her on the head. "Please head back on the ship."
"Rutee, I'll pay you 500 gald if you let me join."
"Let's go find that light!" Rutee quickly said as she turned around.
"Hey! Rutee, what the heck?" Reid followed her. "You know what Chester would do if anything happens to her!"
"I'm not a little girl anymore Reid." Kannono said pulling out a broadsword that was on her back. "I can handle myself."
"Yeah Reid lighten up! Once this is all over, we'll get Farah make you omelets."
Reid sighed. He does love Farah's omelets. "Ok, you win. Let's just go."
With that, they all walked into the labyrinth that is the World Tree. Its roots extended far out and high above their heads. The sky was almost blocked out yet there was enough light to shine through. The many forms of life also lived here but it did not seem like there was any of them here. They know this is never a good sign when something is quiet. They were prepared for what is to come towards them.
"Where's that Flourite?" Rutee said, keeping in mind of their other mission. "It's usually never this hard to find it."
"Rutee, don't just go off like that." Kannono told her. "You don't know what might happen."
"But I want to get some money! I've been in the red for a week now! I need this!"
"Well, if you didn't spend your money on so many things you wouldn't be in the red." Reid told her off a little.
"Oh shut it meat for brains. You just don't see the value in money. All you spend it on is on food."
"Hey, I get hungry."
"You're always hungry!" Rutee shouted at him while Kannono only gave a weak smile. Rutee soon saw something shining. "There it is! Come to mama!"
Rutee reached for the shining rock. Once she took hold of it, she tugged but it didn't budge. She pulled again but it didn't move. She soon took both hands and pulled hard.
"Guys help me out here!" Rutee said, still pulling on it. "Guys!"
"Rutee, stop pulling the Flourite and back away slowly." Kannono told her as she pulled out her broadsword.
"What are you talking about?" Rutee turned around and looked at her.
The Flourite in her hand soon vibrated and the Earth shook along it. Rutee cursed herself for what she was about to see. It was an Egg Bear, large creatures that of a bear and amazing strength. In the World Tree though, they are the most fearsome creatures to ever live.
Rutee could only give a weak laugh and backed away. "Sorry about that haha. I'll leave you alone now."
The Egg Bear roared in her face and it was at that instant that she ran away from the monstrous being. She quickly got behind Kannono and Reid who were ready to attack it. Reid ran up to the monster, swinging his sword down on it. The Egg Bear blocked it and pushed him away. It had its claw come towards him in the face only for Reid to quickly dodge out of the way. Kannono soon ran towards it with her sword swinging from the left side of the monster.
"Sen'ouka!" Kannono span around with the sword in hand a few times, damaging the monster but only caused it to be agitated.
Reid came down on it with an attack of his own.
"Chirisazame!" Reid thrust his sword towards the monster at an amazing speed.
The Egg Bear still stood strong and whacked Reid away from it. Kannono was also pushed out of the way by the monster. It then moved toward Kannono, ready to strike her only for Rutee, finally prepared with her sword in hand.
"Snipe Air!" Rutee thrust her sword into the air and came down on the large creature.
The sword pieced into the creature. The Egg Bear roared in anger and with a strong swing, it whacked her away. Kannono was finally able to recover from the attack but she was too late as the monster thrust its claw into her. Kannono watched the claw come down on her. A shadow was then cast over her and she saw foot kicking the Egg Bear in the face. The force of the kick was strong and it was pushing the Egg Bear far away. The figure was still attached to the Egg Bear and soon jumped off it. The Egg Bear slowly got back up and charged at the figure.
"Hakugekishou!" The figure got only punched at the creature and with amazing force, pushed it down. "Kyogan Retsurakugeki!" The figure grabbed the creature by the head and lifted it up. He then slammed it down into the ground with amazing force, knocking it out completely.
Kannono was amazed to see something like that. The figure finally took a proper form. It was a young girl of Kannono's age and had short dark green hair that parted with her fringe parted to the left and had blood red eyes. She wore a simple red shirt that hugged her body and a black skirt and white boots as well. She was beautiful to what Kannono was looking at. The young girl soon fell to the ground, completely exhausted at what she had done.
"Hey!" Kannono ran up to the young girl. "Hang in there!"
Reid finally back on his feet came up to Kannono and noticed her with a young girl in her arms.
"Kannono, who is she?" Reid asked her.
"I don't know but she saved me. We got to take her back to the ship!"
"Ok but where's Rutee?"
"Way ahead of you!" Rutee shouted with the Flourite in hand. "Get a move on!"
They all followed Rutee all the way back of the Van Eltia. A person from the ship though was going to look for them. He had long blue hair done in a ponytail wearing what was a blue robe and long brown pants. On his back was an arrow case along with his bow. He was about to set off to look for Kannono only to see the three coming back with a person being carried by Reid.
"Chester!" Kannono called out.
"Kannono! Are you all right?" Chester quickly rushed to them.
"Oh sure, ask Kannono if she's ok yet not ask if we're ok." Rutee said as she walked passed him.
"Hey, I know you guys can take care of yourselves so I don't need to ask." Chester then turned back to Kannono. "What were you doing out here? I thought we told you not to?"
"That's not the problem right now!" Kannono pointed at the girl behind Reid's back. "We need to help her!"
"Yeah and let's make it quick. This girl is actually pretty heavy despite her size." Reid said only go have the girl put him into a choke hold from behind.
"That's rude." The girl finally gain conscious and was choking the red head boy. "Now put me down."
"Yes ma'am!" Reid quickly squatted down and let the girl off him.
The girl was back on her feet but wobbled a little. She placed her left hand on her head as she was having a headache.
"Hey take it easy." Kannono told her. "What you did was more than you should have done."
"I supposed so…Ow." The girl rubbed her head. "So, who are you all?"
"Oh right, I'm Kannono Fantasia. The guy who carried you is Reid Hershel. That there is Rutee Katrea and he's Chester Burklight. It's nice to meet you."
"I'm Hinami." Hinami looked up at the ship with amazement. "What's that ship?"
"You like it?" Chat stood at the top with pride. "This is the Van Eltia, and I'm the captain Chat!"
Hinami looked at the little girl with a deadpan look. "You're not a captain. You're too small."
"Hey!" Chat took that pretty hard. "I am the captain of this ship!"
"Ok ok, Chat, just calm down." Rutee said to her. "So, what are you doing here?"
Hinami stood there for a while and about it for a while. "I don't know. I can't seem to remember anything."
"Nothing? Really?" Chester asked the girl.
"Nothing at all. I only remember waking up here and then meeting you guys."
"Oh…" Kannono felt sorry for her but she then had an idea. "How about joining us?"
"Huh?"
"You know, how about joining us? We travel just about everywhere here. Maybe you might find someone who knows you."
"That's a good idea Kannono." Reid agreed with them. "And considering how you handled yourself with that Egg Bear, you can also help us out with missions as well."
"Yeah, Egg Bears out here are not a laughing matter yet you were able to take it down with ease." Rutee said with praise. "How about it Chat? We do need more people after all."
"Well, as long as she acknowledges that I am the Captain, then fine. Do you understand Hinami?" Chat said, crossing her arms.
"Yes Captain." She said by saluting to her with her stoic face.
"Are you patronizing me?" Chat said only for Rutee to quickly drag her back into the ship.
"Well, looks like you're with us now." Chester said quickly extending his hand to shake. Hinami looked at the hand and tilted her head. "Well? Are going to shake my hand?"
Hinami looked at Chester with a clueless face. "Why?"
"To show some hospitality…?" Chester said wondering if she was serious.
Hinami looked at the hand again and looked at Chester. "What does hospitality mean?"
Chester only looked at her, completely dumbfounded at the girl. Kannono only gave a weak smile but something told her that things are going to be fun for them.
Omake:
Kannono rushed to the Hinami who had fainted. She quickly held her in her arms.
Kannono: Hey, hang in there!
Kannono noticed how beautiful the young green haired girl is and had a quick look around.
Kannono: Just one kiss.
Kannono closed her eyes and moved in to kiss the girl only for Rutee and Reid pull her away from the unconscious girl.
Rutee: Oh no you don't!
Kannono: Oh come on! Just one kiss!
Reid: You're dangerous if left alone Kannono. Let's just head back to the ship.
I know; Kannono isn't like that…yet. Anyway, since the 3rd Radiant Mythology game is coming along, I figured let's do my take of Tales of the World Series. I originally was going to make it a crossover but went against it and did this.
As for Kannono, this is my Kannono, sort of. I was wondering if I want her to be connected to the Pasca Kannono the same way Kannono Earhart was in Radiant Mythology 2. I'll figure that out later.
Oh, before I forget.
Chirizasame: Sword Rain
Sen'ouka: I don't know. Just know it as a spinning attack.
Hakugekishou: Impact
Kyogan Retsurakugeki: Avalanche Drop
Yeah, when you want to add other tales of characters that were not known to the english speaking world, I have no other choice but do this.
