During Vyse and Co.'s first visit to the Maw Of Tartas, when they were
trying to figure out how to open the seal there, they never knew someone
other than the Vuluan soldiers was watching them. It was a fifteen-year-old
boy, about 5'8", he had black hair, with bangs that came just over his
eyes. He wore a red sleeveless shirt, and tan colored pants, along with
some leather boots and gloves. (Think Van from Escaflowne) He sported a
sword of sorts, a katana you'd expect to find in Yafutoma. It too, like all
of Vyse's party member's weapons, was made with Moonstone.
When the Vuluan soldiers found Vyse and attacked him, the Swordsman watched them from on top of the hill. He was amazed by their fighting skills; he'd never seen anything like them before. He was especially interested in Vyse, there was something about him that appealed to the Swordsman, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He was though, a little afraid of the grumpy old man with the bionic arm. But he knew in his mind that he could defeat him easily by using his agility to overcome the man. But he wasn't about to attack them; he saw that they made quick work of the soldiers, and formed a slight respect for them.
He quickly looked around to finally see a ship, The Little Jack. He was curious as to why those soldiers would attack them, it had to be for more than just trespassing; and he could have sworn he had seen Vyse before, but he couldn't quite say where. So he took his chances and stowed-away on The Little Jack.
He waited until nightfall before he came out of hiding by the ship's lifeboats, but when he saw Vyse sleeping in the nearby hammock, he went right back in. He laid in one of the lifeboats.
"I know I've seen him somewhere." He said to himself, still wondering who they could be. But he figured they would attack him if they found him.
He lay there for quite some time until he was startled by the distinct sound of an arch whale. He sat up; his head darted in all directions, wondering what was going on. He stood up to leave the room, but was knocked right back down into the lifeboat as the ship was shaken by cannon fire. After a while, he felt heat, he opened the doors a slight crack and saw that the ship was on fire. But he remained calm and got back into one of the lifeboats, he knew he couldn't get it out on his own, so he took the risk of being discovered.
He heard the doors open, and he lay in the lifeboat real low. Two girls got into the lifeboat, one with orange hair; the other dressed in odd clothing. He sat up and looked at them, their eyes were wide.
"Who. who are you?!" The redhead exclaimed.
But the hanger doors opened, and the Swordsman watched as the old man went around to the back of the lifeboat. He blinked a few times, his mouth open as the man began pushing the lifeboat out of the hanger.
"Forget about him!" The man exclaimed, "You've got to get out of here!"
"But Capitan!" The redhead responded.
But the man did not answer; he just pushed the lifeboat right out of the hanger. The Swordsman had no idea what was happening, but he was startled to see a huge arch whale, and ships firing at the boat he was just in. He watched as another lifeboat was pushed out, which only had one passenger. He wondered where the old man went.
But then the ships began firing at the other lifeboat.
"Vyse!!!" The two girls called out to the other lifeboat.
The Swordsman figured that was the guy's name; he knew he had heard that name before. Then it hit him. That was Vyse, THE Vyse. The one he had heard about before, the one who had the Vuluan Empire after him. He laughed quietly to himself, but then he was shocked as Vyse's lifeboat was shot down.
The rest was sort of a blur, he never said anything to the girls, and they never said anything to him. But eventually, he awoke to find himself in a bedroom on a ship. But weary, he just lay back down. The one thought that was in his mind was, 'Where is Vyse?'
The two girls woke up with the same thought in their minds. The Capitan of the ship greeted them. Her name was Clara. The two girls explained to Clara their problem, hoping she could help them out.
"You like him, don't you?" Clara asked, smiling slightly.
The two girls both looked away from her, responding with a shy "Umm. yes."
Clara winked and smiled again, "You can always trust your man huh?"
Then another girl ran into the room, she seemed very hyper. She wore a pink and white striped shirt, pink shorts and pink knee-high boots. Her eyes were big and golden-brown, as her hair was just a dark brown.
"How are the two guests? Are they okay?" The little girl asked, obviously very concerned.
Clara turned to her and said, "Yes, they're fine. Why don't you go check on the other guest?"
"Oh right!" The girl responded, "I'll do it right away!" Then she ran out of the room.
"Other guest?" The oddly dressed girl asked herself.
"Oh, that weird guy on the lifeboat! I want to know exactly what he was doing in our lifeboat!" The redhead said.
A few moments later, the Swordsman was awoken to see the little girl. He blinked to focus a few times; it appeared she had been watching over him for a while. But when his eyes fully focused, they became wide. He stared at the young girl, he figured she may have been one or two years younger than he was. But then he looked away.
"Hey, how are you?" The girl asked.
The Swordsman hesitated to answer, ". I'm fine."
"Good, my name's Belle! Oh! I thought you were a goner for a minute there! You were sleeping for so long I mean." The girl said, almost jumping up and down with excitement.
The Swordsman got dizzy trying to follow her movements. He shook his head a few times.
". I said I was fine. Pleased to meet you Belle" He said.
But then Clara's voice was on the talking tube, "Belle, come to the deck and bring the guest with you please."
"Oh!" belle said, seeming surprised, "Come on, we've got to go!"
"Hey. wait." The Swordsman said, but it was too late, she was already long gone.
He went to the deck and leaned against the wall, keeping his distance from the girls. Clara explained that she would drop them off at Nasrad. The two girls he had shown up with seemed pleased, and they hoped they would find Vyse there. But the Swordsman couldn't take his eyes off Belle, but he only looked when he wasn't noticed.
When they had gotten to Nasrad, Clara had given the girls her purse, which contained 5000 gold. They were appreciative, but the Swordsman didn't seem so glad about it. The girls waved to Clara as she flew her airship away, then turned to the Swordsman. He looked back at them.
"What?" He asked, seeming annoyed.
"What do you mean 'what?'" The redhead said, looking a little cross. "You stow away on our ship, don't introduce yourself, and keep quiet all the time and all you can say is 'what?!'"
The Swordsman looked away, scoffing a bit.
"Well. what Aika is trying to say is. we'd appreciate it if you told us your name." The oddly dressed girl said.
The Swordsman made not attempt to even look at them, and responded with ". You tell me your names first."
"Well. umm. I'm Fina, and this is Aika." The oddly dressed girl answered.
"Great." The Swordsman said. "Well, I'm Scott. pleased to meet you."
"Just great!" Aika said, turning to Fina. "Now what are we going to do to with this guy? And how are we going to find Vyse?"
"I. don't know." Fina answered.
"Let me save you the trouble of doing one thing." Scott said as he turned and began walking away. "You're on your own!"
And with that, he left. Aika and Fina still needed to find out a way to go find Vyse though. They eventually came up with the idea to get a job and save up to buy a ship. They went to find a good place to stay, and obvious to most, they stayed at the local inn. They got a tab started for them and got a room there.
"So what shall we do tomorrow?" Fina asked.
"We go and get a job to save up for a ship of course! Then we can go find Vyse!" Aika answered.
"Are you worried about Vyse?"
"Of course. But I know that Vyse can take care of himself, wherever he is."
Fina sighed and turned towards the window, looking up at the red moon that was over the desert.
"Vyse." She said to herself. "I wonder if we're looking at the same moon right now."
Outside the inn, on top of the building next to it, Scott smirked. He was watching Aika and Fina the whole time. Sure he didn't really know them, but he figured they were the type to get them into trouble. Or at least, Aika was.
"How can they be worried so much about Vyse?" He asked himself. "It's obvious they show emotion towards him. I wonder if he knows they do. I get the feeling they see him as much more than just a friend or fellow crewmember. I wonder how he feels about them."
He sighed, looking up at the red moon.
"I wonder what Belle is doing right now." He said to himself.
The next day Aika and Fina managed to find a job at the local Tavern. Scott secretly followed them around to make sure they were okay. He knew how much finding Vyse must have meant to them, so he was ready to protect them at any occasion. It seemed like months since they had all arrived at Nasrad when Aika and Fina had finally gotten enough money to buy a ship.
At that point, Vyse had already gotten to Nasrad. He was with a man named Glider, who Aika and Fina met the very last day they were in Nasrad. On many occasions, Aika and Fina had walked right past Vyse, not expecting him to be around. Little did they know that Vyse had gotten the room next to theirs in the inn. Scott found it quite funny how they wouldn't notice the man they cared so much for.
Aika and Fina finally decided to go look for Vyse, and at the same time, go and find "Daccat's Treasure." Scott stayed behind in Nasrad, knowing they'd be back. At the same time, he noticed Glider and Vyse going to look for Daccat's Treasure as well. Scott couldn't help but laugh. After all that work, they were just going to meet in the same place anyway. He tried picturing Aika and Fina's faces when they found Vyse. It wasn't real funny; he found it quite a tearjerker.
"Oh Vyse, I can't believe we found you!" He said, trying to impersonate Aika.
"Neither can I!" He said again, trying to impersonate Vyse.
He laughed, "Then all the hugs and kisses!" He exclaimed. Laughing so hard he almost fell off the ledge he was sitting on.
But then he sighed. "I wish I could find Belle like that." He said to himself.
