Two Worlds Collide
Disclaimer: I own NEITHER series so, nyah!
Also, this story will not have A/N or E/N at this time. Maybe later down the line, if asked.
Yuri Lowell POV:
"Yuri! Look out!"
"Huh?"
Whoosh!
"Whoa Duke! That was kinda cutting it a bit close, don't you think?"
Duke nearly hit me with Dein Nomos. If it wasn't for Estelle, I would have been a goner right then.
I jump back to give myself some breathing room. Judith, Caroll and Estelle did the same. Only Repede continued fighting Duke. Repede ducked Duke's swing with his blade, and blocked the next one. Duke proved the stronger, as he forced his way past Repede's guard, and was able to land a kick square on his head, sending him to the ground.
"Repede!" I shout, then I turn to Rita, who was charging her Tidal Wave spell.
"Rita, mind picking up the pace a bit? I'm not sure if Repede can keep this up. We're growing tired."
"Ughhh, will you shut up? You're throwing off my concentration." Rita snapped back.
"Annnnd...why did I even bother?" I asked myself, then I picked up my blade, and rushed towards Duke.
Duke was an extremely skilled fighter, I could see that much. I launched a horizontal swing, and he ducked it. Then a vertical swing, and he sidestepped it. I attempted to use Final Gale, but he countered with his Crescent Dragon. The two Burst Artes canceled each other out.
"Move!" I heard someone shout. I ducked down, instinctively, and I felt someone use me as a stepping stone, and jumped off my back. I looked up and noticed that it was Judith.
"Come forth, o' Lightning. Receive your punishment!" Just then, Judith's spear was encased in lightning, making it appear longer than what it normally is.
Duke seemingly does nothing to prevent Judith.
"Radiant...Moonlight!" She swings the spear vertically, and just when she hits Duke and lightning crashes down on him...
"Tidal Wave!"
We all, Repede included, jump out the way, and Duke is completely surrounded in the Typhoon, and the Typhoon itself, is encased in lightning due to Judith striking him beforehand. The winds picked up, and that increased the speed at which the Lightning Typhoon was turning. Before long, the winds were so great, that I had to grab Repede to stop him from falling off the coded formula were were fighting on.
The winds died down, and the mist from the two collided techniques was beginning to evaporate. When the mist cleared Duke was...
...Still standing?
"What? How is thi...how is this even possible?" Judith asked anyone would listen, out of breath.
"No way. What are we gonna do Yuri?" Caroll asked me.
"Caroll...I really don't know this time." I honestly replied...for once.
"Yuri...you mean..."Estelle was trying to ask me something, but something else urgent caught my attention.
"Duke!" I looked at him, as did everyone else. He ascended higher than what he was, and grasped the hilt of Dein Nomos with both hands, and held the blade in front of his face.
"Toll the beginning of time!" Duke began enchanting.
"Everyone brace yourselves!" I shouted, as I activated my magic guard technique.
"No." Estelle replied, and walked in front of me.
"Estelle!" Rita exclaimed. She could not run up to her, because casting Tidal Wave outside of her limit break, took a tool on her physically.
"Rita..." Estelle began. "...I do not think I will be able to keep my word."
"What are you saying?"
"I...I have to do this. To save you all...but..."
Rita only watched Estelle as she begin to glow.
"Doing so...will most likely cost me my life."
"WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY?" Rita shouted, concern and horror covering her face.
"Ow, not so loud Rita!" Caroll yelled.
"Fireball!" She hit Caroll with a fireball. "Estelle you can't! Please, don't do this."
"If I don't, we will ALL probably die. I...cannot take that risk." Estelle looked back towards Rita. "Thank you...for everything...for being my fr...my sister."
Tears scarred Rita's face in no time.
"Estelle...are you sure about this?", I asked her. She looked at me and reached out to me, despite being unable to touch me.
"Yuri...there is so much that I wanted to tell you...but im afraid I won't be able to..."
This made me genuinely smile. She returned her hand to her side.
"Yes...I am sure..." She closed her eyes. "We must live with the choices we make, and have the resolve the consequences of our actions, whatever they are." She opened her eyes again.
"...You learned more than enough Estelle." I complimented her wisdom.
She smiled, and turned to face Duke.
Estelle used the final Hour-glass, making Duke freeze. She then, without looking up, reached for the sky with the palm of her right hand.
"Children of the Full Moon...Vesperia, the brightest star...Gods and Goddesses of Terica Lumires, please aid me in protecting the lives of my loved ones..." A Sphere of energy generates itself slightly above the palm of Estelle's risen hand. "Rita, the brightest mind and the best friend I ever had." The sphere above her hand gets bigger. "Caroll, the bravest young man I ever known." By this point, she raises her other hand. With each portion of the chant, the ball gets bigger, and in time, she began actually levitating, rising up to the same level that Duke was on.
"No...Estelle..." Rita whimpered, holding back tears on her hands and knees. Judith, still drained walks over to her, and sets her head on her shoulder and holds Rita.
"Rita. Let it out. I want to cry too. But I want to help you get through this."
Rita buried her face in Judith's shoulder, and cried, returning the gesture to Judith.
Raven stood in a Salute like posture, and with his free hand, was on Caroll's head, who was already crying.
I continued to stare at Estelle.
"Raven, one who I hold so much respect for. Judith, the fearless Femme Fatale. Repede, the fearless warrior, and man's true best friend. Yuri..." She stopped on my name, and turned her head to look at me one more time.
"Yuri..."
I could not answer her, because I was still in quite a shock.
"...the one...the one that I..."
For the first time, since I fought Lambert in my Imperial Knight days, my heart was racing.
"...The one that I...love."
She what? Wait...when...never mind...I knew it...
I dropped my blade, still staring at Estelle.
By this time, the energy above Estelle's head amassed to be the exact same size as Duke's technique was.
She winked at me, shedding a tear the same time, and turned to face Duke one last time.
The Hour-glass's effect just wore off, and although Duke was unaware of how Estelle amassed so much power, he did not stop with his own technique.
"This ends now!" Duke Exclaimed.
"Agreed!" Estelle shot back.
"Big Bang!"/ "Wrath of Phoenix!"
Estelle and Duke's energies collided head-on, with each other, in a luminous display of dark and light energy.
Estelle was not backing down from Duke. Duke was not backing down from Estelle. Their gathered powers were evenly matched.
"You...are quite strong for a human. I am surprised YOU are not an Entelexeia." Duke complimented Estelle on her power.
"This is what I am willing do go through. I will sacrifice my own life, in order to save my friends. In order to stop you, and save the people. In order to defeat the Adephagos."
"Noble. Brave. And protective. Maybe I did judge you wrong, Child of the Full Moon. But it does not matter."
"Forgive me you guys." Estelle was talking to us, but she could not turn around this time.
"You...you..." Was all Rita could say, still crying in Judith's embrace.
Repede whined. Caroll stopped crying, and looked up at Raven, who dropped his Salute, and stared at Estelle.
"Estelle..." I began, "You...you are much stronger than I ever will be."
She shook her head. "No...Yuri, if not for you, I would never have even gotten to meet all of you. I would not have left the castle. I would not have gained answers to the questions I had about life itself. Most importantly...I would not have ever realized how much of a sister Rita is to me and...how much you mean to me...You, are the pioneer of all of our strengths. I trust in you, and I believe in you."
"You...you..." I could not help but to shed a tear this time.
"You...DAMNIT!" I fell to my knees, and punched the ground of the formula.
"Yuri!" I heard the gang behind me shout.
"Yuri. Stand strong." Estelle said with determination in her voice. "They will need you...more then ever very soon."
The combined energy field then amassed so large, it engulfed both Duke, and Estelle, and it was still growing.
"Yuri...what do we do?" Caroll asked me, still with depression in his voice.
"Caroll..." Then, what Estelle ordered me to do flashed in my head.
Stand strong, Yuri. They will need you more than ever soon.
I made my way back to my feet, and began walking towards the amassed energy field. Repede was right beside me.
"Yuri, please don't...YURI!" I heard Rita call out behind me.
"Rita...I'm sorry, but I am not about to just sit here, and let people suffer in plain sight. I am going in."
"But if you do..."Judith cut in, but I cut her off.
"...I know the risks. That's why I am going to help her, in any way I can. She deserves a place in the new world, just like the rest of us. And I am going to make sure it happens."
"Then..." I heard Rita work herself up, and walk towards me. She places both her hands around my right hand. "...let me come with you."
"But..."
"No."
"But Rita, if..."
"No."
"Don't you realize that you..."
"I don't care. I want to help her. That's all there is to it."
"I do to." Caroll said, and he hooked Rita's arm with his left hand. For once, Rita let him.
"Then of course I have to come along." Judith said. She got up from the ground, and took my left hand.
"This is too much for an old man. But what the hell, its not like dying is something I need to be afraid of anyways." Raven said, and stood in front of Judith.
I dropped my head.
"Never forget your resolve. Without this, no one will help you. Caroll. Protect your friends, and they will be there for you."
That damned Don. He was right again.
I picked up my head, and began smiling. "Alright. Lets go."
"Right!" Everyone said, and Repede just barked.
But we all stepped in the energy field.
As soon as I stepped in however, my body felt horribly drained of energy. I guess the same thing happened to the others too. Everyone, besides Rita and myself, collapsed on the ground.
"This...this energy is too much..." I said, running out of breath.
"You...we have to...keep going." Rita replied, still holding onto my hand with both of hers.
As we walked further in, the pressure began building. Before long, Rita fell down to her knees, but she did not let my hand go.
"Ri...Rita!" I stopped, and grabbed Rita's shoulder with my free hand.
"Wha...what are you do..ing? Keep...keep going...please." Rita was more drained than I was.
I knelled down In front of Rita, and turned my back to her. I gained control of both of her hands with my own, and placed them around my neck. When I sat up, she forced her legs around my torso and tightened her grip on both of her hands.
I kept pushing further, with Rita on my back. After a few seconds, I heard someone calling out to us.
"Yuri...Rita.."
"Estelle?" We both said in unison.
"Grab hold to each other...do not let go...hurry..."
My right hand grabbed onto Rita's right leg, and my left hand grabbed the both of her hands. She, using her remaining strength, tightened her grip on me.
Just then, what sounded like two different people screaming was echoing throughout the energy field. And as soon as that happened, I was hit with a shock wave so brutal, it forced me to the ground, landing sideways.
"Ri...Rita, are you...okay?"
There was no response. But her grip did not loosen.
"Damn it...this is...not good..." I felt my consciousness fading. A few seconds later, my body went numb.
My vision became blurred. The last thing I remember seeing, was someone in a white dress, approaching me. The entity said something, but I was unable to make it out. It reached out to me, but my vision grew dark.
I passed out.
Several hours later...
Rita Mordio's POV:
"Uh...uhh my head." I mumbled, as I was coming to. When my vision was restored, I noticed that I was in a vast open field. When I regained my focus, I noticed that I was holding on to Yuri, who was not moving.
"Yuri. Yuri!" I tried to wake him, shaking him in the process. He would not wake. If anything, I noticed his breathing became irregular.
"Dammit!" I worked my legs and arms off of Yuri, and I stood up, stumbling at first.
I looked around the area. In the distances, I saw what appeared to be a city. In its center, I could tell it was a castle. I looked to the north, and noticed there were some mountains.
I could not make out where we were at this time. I needed more information. But first thing is first. Yuri is in trouble. I turned back towards him. He was still unconscious.
"Yuri...thank you." I said, under my breath. He tried so hard, but ultimately, he could not make it to Estelle. I reached into my pack, and pulled out a towel, and a Apple Gel. I knelled beside Yuri's head, and placed it into my lap.
"You idiot." I softly scolded him, and used my Champagne Formula to wet the towel. I drained it, folded it, and placed it on his forehead. I then attempted to force-feed him the Apple Gel. After I managed to feed him the first bite, he coughed, but his breathing returned to normal.
But then I heard some shuffling in the bushes near me. I set Yuri's head down gently, and turned towards the bush. I made my way directly in front of it, and held my ground. I was determined to protect Yuri.
"O' flickering Blaze burn!" I held the spell, so I could see wait until it jumped out. I heard some more shuffling in the bush and then...
Whoosh!
"Fire...wait a minute." It was...a bunny. I sighed a huge sigh a relief, and canceled my formula. Something still did not feel right though. Just then...
Crash!
"That came from..." I turned around..."What...are they?" I asked myself out loud, as I saw 3 'large' sized blackened creatures. Two was slowly advancing towards me, and the third was standing directly over Yuri.
"This is not good." I told myself, and began advancing towards them. The first one, made an attempt to knock me out with a horizontal swing of its claw, but I ducked it.
"Walis!" I chanted, and I pulled out my belt, and it shot up, in an uppercut formation. It hit the creature square in the jaw, and it fell over backwards to the ground.
The one that was above Yuri was raising its fist up. It was about to strike him, and I had to act fast.
"Come forth, O avaricious netherworld, and crush the evil before me..." A circle appeared below the creature, and this distracted it. "...Negative Gate!" Just then, 8 streams of dark energy shot above the creature from the edges of the circle. They made a u-turn, and each stream crashed down on the creature's head, violently sending it careening to the canvas beside Yuri.
"Yuri!" I raced towards Yuri's side, and came to a sliding stop beside him. I dragged him several feet away from the creatures. I sat beside him, because I needed to catch my breath. I looked over to where the three creatures were. The only one that was still standing only stood still. A few seconds later, it focused on the sky, and let out a horrifying screech.
The other two then, as if on command, got back up seemingly unharmed.
"What? That is impossible." I said to myself.
One of them charged towards me. But I was still to tired to move. All I could do, was hold my head down and close my eyes bracing for impact, but then...
"Hey! Are you okay miss?" Hearing this voice made me jump. I opened my eyes, and turned around, but whoever said that shot past my vision, resulting in a blur.
I heard the creature that was nearest me yell in pain, and then collapse. I turned around to see exactly what caused it.
It appeared to be a young male. He was wearing a light blue tunic with sliver edgings. His boots were cloud white, with some light blue lines in them. He was also wearing what appeared to be sliver Chain-mail beneath the tunic. He had a shield on his back that had an emblem on it, but I could not tell what the emblem was for. In his left hand, he had a well-polished sword with a dark blue guard on it, that had three small triangles, outlining one bigger triangle in gold on it.
He turned to me, and I took note of his face, but could not recognize him. He had Zircon blue eyes, and golden hair.
"I hope im not intruding on anything, am I?"
"...Huh? Oh no. Who are you?"
"Me? My name is..." Rawr!
"Sorry miss. Lets catch up on the formalities later. Midna!"
Just then something appeared out of the young man's shadow, and landed on his shoulder.
I stared in complete amazement. I have never seen anything like this before. It appeared to be an imp-like creature. But something was different about this one. It had long black hair that ended with a fiery orange tip. Its eyes were almost the same color of the young man's eyes.
"You ready?" The young man said to the imp he called, 'Midna', as he turned to face the last two standing creatures.
"Yea. Lets rap this up, and talk to the girl." Midna replied.
Midna can talk? What kind of a place is this?
Midna hovered off of the man's shoulder, and was levitating in the same fashion as Duke, in front of the remaining two. Just then, its hair began slowly shooting up on its own, forming a hand of some sort. It was forming an energy bolt, and it shot it on the ground, and it erupted, simultaneously knocking both of the creatures to the ground.
The first creature in front of me dispersed into thinner particles of what appeared to be pure dark matter, and ascended into the sky. The other two did the same thing.
The young man turned towards me again, and offered his hand in helping me up. I took his hand, and he pulled me to my feet.
As I was dusting myself off, 'Midna' landed back on the man's shoulder, and folded its arms across its chest.
"So, who are you two anyways?" The young man asked me.
"Rita. Rita Mordio, and this here...", I said motioning to Yuri, still unconscious, "...is Yuri Lowell."
"Oh I see. My name is Link. And this, is Midna."
"Ok, Link. But what were those things just now?"
"We call those, Twilight Beasts." He then looked at me with a confused look. "You are not from around here are you?"
"I...where are we?"
"Your in Hyrule Fields, part of the Hyrule Kingdom."
"Is this part of the Iilycian Continent?"
"Of the what?" He asked me looking more confused now.
"Of the...never mind. Is there somewhere here I can get help for Yuri?"
"One second." Link closed his eyes, as did Midna. A few moments later, a light appeared to the right of us. I turned to notice a crystallized energy dispersing. In the midst of it, a woman appeared. She was wearing a Violet dress, with a sliver embroidery on the top left. The dress covered her legs almost entirely, except the sliver slippers she was wearing. She was also wearing sliver gloves, and what appeared to be a golden Tiara on her head. Her hair stretched down her back, to the end of her torso.
"You are miss Rita Mordio, I take it?" The lady asked me.
"Wait...how do you know my name?" I asked her suspecting something.
"These two just told me. You just became acquainted with my brother, the hero of Hyrule. He can speak to me with his mind."
All I could do at this point was look amazed. I had so many questions, and I wanted to study Link. I could not even begin to fathom everything that was happening.
"That is Yuri Lowell then?" I nodded. She walked over to him, and placed her right hand on his forehead. She mumbled something, and Yuri vanished with the same crystallized energy that she appeared in.
"What did you do with Yuri?" I asked her.
"I teleported him to my castle."
"Your castle? Then you are..."
"Yes. I am the princess. But come, take my hand. I will explain more when we get there." She held out her hand. Reluctantly, I took it.
And in a similar fashion, we vanished.
I just hope the others are okay...
Hooray for crossovers!
This is indicating that I can now refresh my ideas between my two stories. I have NOT stopped writing for "A Twili's Hero". I will be updating one on such and such date, and the other on such and such date.
Thanks for the reads, ahead of time. L8r!
