Hope Reborn
Hey it's Demonslayer101 hopefully won't delete this one. Well this is my first Xenosaga story so please review. Flames will be used to reduce heating bills!
Disclaimer: Demonslayer101 does not own Xenosaga or chaos would be dressed in leather. Enjoy!
"Ugh" the sound of someone trying to come to the world of reality rang through the inky darkness. The groan was from none other than Shion. As she proceeded to sit up she put her hand on her forehead she had a massive migraine from events beforehand.
"What happened?" she thought as she struggled to recall what happened before she passed out, "The last thing I remember was a hoard of gnosis, and a force that was drawing the ship towards them." Shion looked around as she got up and began to figure out who was still with her. There were MOMO, chaos, Ziggy, and KOS-MOS. But there were no signs of Allen, Commander Cherenkor, nor the Elsa or its crew members.
"Is everyone alright?" chaos asked a steady stream of yes and I'm fine responded.
"Where's the Elsa?" MOMO asked as she looked around for the ship that had carried her and her bodyguard Ziggy. Even though she had only been on the ship for a few days she liked everyone and she was worried for them.
"I don't know MOMO," Shion answered, "but I'm worried about Allen and the others."
"There is a heat signature that is 10 kilometers away from us." KOS-MOS artificial voice echo throughout the cavern.
"It could be them" Shion mused.
"Only one way to find out" MOMO answered. Caution the party started down the slimily path that seemed to be beating almost like it was a heart.
"Is this ship really a living gnosis?" MOMO thought to herself, "It seems like I'm picking gnosis signals everywhere I turn, but it's not the gnosis outside the ship that I'm feeling." The group stopped short when they noticed a gnosis in front of them a few feet away.
"There's no way around it and the path is too narrow to run past it" Ziggy observed.
"Then we have no choice then to fight" answered Shion. Carefully the party approached the creature ready for combat. As soon as the gnosis noticed them it quickly charged ready to attack. Seeing that the gnosis was heading towards her at full speed, MOMO quickly evaded the attack. The gnosis flew past her and hit the ground hard. Seeing an importunity chaos used his electric swipe to send the gnosis flying straight up into the air. KOS-MOS and Shion quickly used their blaster and fire bomb to blast the gnosis into little pieces.
"Well that went well" MOMO sighed as she picked herself off the ground.
"It was too easy if you asked me" Ziggy said. Sure enough a scream of something inhuman sliced through the air.
"Damn our fight drew their attention to us. They know we're here" Ziggy growled. The group quickly broke into a run only to stop at an intersection. On their right the sound of stampeding feet rang out. The party went to the left going as fast as they could trying to lose their pursuers. After a while the sounds of scuffling feet slowly diminish until the only sound was their own feet. The group slowed down to catch their breath. As they looked around the area, Shion noticed something strange in front of her. In the gnosis there appeared to be a billboard.
"Is it just me or is there a billboard in front of us" Shion asked.
"No it's not just you, I see it to" MOMO answered.
"The weird thing is it doesn't seem attached to the gnosis. It seems to be part of the gnosis" Shion observed.
"It's not the only one" chaos replied, "Look" he pointed to a red billboard with three fishes on it that said "Why?"
"Why are all these human things in the gnosis?" Shion asked in wonderment.
"Who knows" Ziggy replied "We should get moving and try to find everyone else." The group nodded their heads in agreement and started walking down the path again. Then overhead they heard an inhuman scream right over them. The entire group looked up to see a gnosis coming down aiming straight towards MOMO. MOMO let out a scream, but before the gnosis could strike a black figure shot out and tackled the gnosis. The gnosis went flying to the right with the black figure following it. The sound of a dying gnosis filled the air. From the sound the figure slowly approached the group. The entire party held their breath as the figure was revealed.
