Hi, everybody, I am a new author here and this is my first Suikoden fanfiction since I am still an amateur I am sure I may have done so much mistake, so please give me your advice. Oh yes, this fanfiction happens just after the Second Fire Bringer War.
The Bizarre Meeting
Chapter 1. Strange Appearance.
In a big great hall, some people are gathering there. They seem confused since they did not know why they were gathering there. Before they started to make a ruckus the door open. All of them looked at the girl with short onyx hair and chocolate eyes who just entered the room.
"Hi everybody, welcome to Ceras Lake Castle. Please take a seat in a chair I prepared for you."
They still confused with the strange girl appearance, but they began to seat in a form of two lines, but a boy with short fallow hair with a red bandanna and sea green eyes just wandering there.
"Where is my seat?"
The strange girl looked at him. "Oh Lazlo, your seat is here, in the middle of the others with me."
"Why I have to seat in the middle?" Lazlo asked while taking a seat in the middle of the two lines with the girl who sat in a chair in his left side.
"Because you're the leader here."
"What! Why me?" Lazlo shouted.
"Because you are the first Tenkai Star and you have lived long enough to be a good leader."
"I have a question." A man with short chocolate hair and chocolate eyes and wearing a golden circle in his forehead raised his hand.
"What it is, Riou?" The strange girl asked.
"Isn't Sierra the oldest member of the Star of Destiny here."
Sierra glared at Riou.
"That true, but she isn't the Tenkai Star. She can't become the leader."
"Don't underestimate me, little girl." Sierra glared at her.
"I am sorry Lady Sierra, but I am sure you will be thankful to me later. This is something that won't please you."
"What do you mean?" Lazlo said with a worried face.
"Don't worry Lazlo, nothing will happen to you." The strange girl reassured him.
"Excuse me, if you wanted to make him the leader, why did you use my castle? Why don't you use his?" A man with short snow hair and azure eyes asked.
"I am sorry, Prince Freyjadour, but you know, Lazlo doesn't have a castle."
Lazlo sighed with a sad face.
"Really, so how did he win his war without a headquarter?" Freyjadour raised his eyebrows.
"Well, of course, he had one, but it wasn't a castle. It was a really big ship called Dauntless."
"Wow really, he had a moving headquarter. It wouldn't be vulnerable then, my army had to abandon this castle when it got attacked. You were really lucky Lazlo."
"Thank you, I am really happy to hear that, since many fans out there dislike it," Lazlo said.
"Just ignore them, they just don't know how it feels in a war. They just like a castle because it looks cool." Freyjadour encouraged him.
"You are right, I also feel bad for Lazlo." The strange girl said while looking at Lazlo.
"So, why did you choose my castle, why don't you use Toran castle or North Window castle or Budehuc castle?" Freyjadour asked the original question back.
"Oh please prince, I just like your castle best."
"By the way, who are you?" Lazlo who just understood the situation asked.
"Oops sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, I am the author here, and you can call me Marmora."
"So, why we are gathering here, Lady Marmora?" Lazlo asked.
"Well then, I want to arrange a true rune bearers meeting, because I want to hear your opinion about everything related to Suiko World." The authoress explained.
All of them were silenced for a while, then a boy with short chestnut hair and copper eyes raised his hand.
"If this is the true rune bearers meeting, then, why am I here? I am not a true rune bearer."
"I know Thomas, but you are the Tenkai Star, I need you here."
"Why did Viktor isn't here with me?" A boy who wielded the Zodiac Sword asked.
"Oh come on Edge, he had passed the Zodiac Sword to you. I just need one person for each rune." The authoress answered.
"Good to hear that I don't have to meet that loud bear man."
"Don't say that Zodiac Sword, Viktor is a great man."
"You were fooled by him Edge."
"Hey, why is Luca Blight here?" A man with long blond hair shouted.
"Just ignore him Jowy. I revived him because I think he really is a fit person to be the bearer of the true beast rune."
"How did you do that?" Jowy asked with a surprised face.
"I have a special technique as an author."
"So, that's why Windy, Barbarossa, and Luc also here. You revived them too." A boy with short onyx hair and copper eyes and wearing green and purple bandanna pointed at the three.
"That right, Tir."
"That you mention it, my mother is also here, you revived her too."
"Yes Prince Freyjadour, but I will send them back when the meeting over."
The Prince sighed in frustration.
"Don't be sad Frey… You look so much older Frey, how old are you now?"
"I am 42 now, Mother."
"My, you are older than me now Frey," Arshtat answered while chuckling.
"Please Mother, don't say that it bad enough to think that I am older than my own mother."
"At least you are normal. It's also not fun to stay young forever," Lazlo stated.
"Really, how old are you now Lazlo."
"Mmhm…I am 187…I think." Lazlo answered after thinking for a while.
Freyjadour gaped.
"So, did anyone still have a question?" The authoress looked at everyone.
A boy with short blond hair with black at the tip of his hair and mint eyes and with tan skin raised his hand. "I want to ask."
"What is it, Hugo?"
"Who are those people?" Hugo who sat in the right end of the line asked while pointing at the two people who was wearing a white robe and sat at the left end of the other line.
"Well, they are the Sindar's leader and Hikusaak the high priest of Harmonia."
"Why are they wearing that white robe?" Hugo asked.
"Since they never appear before they want to wear that robe to hide their faces."
Everyone was silenced.
"Well then, you can begin the meeting Lazlo." The authoress said after making sure no one would ask another question.
"But what I have to do?" Lazlo looked clueless.
"Just ask them whatever you want, and if they don't obey you, you can punish them."
"What!" Almost all of them shouted.
"Fine then, I will do what I can do." Lazlo finally said.
Suddenly a man with long blond hair with crimson right eye and sapphire left eye and wore black outfit stood up from his chair and walked toward the door.
"Hey, where are you going Yuber?" The authoress shouted.
"Off to killing people, this meeting bored me to death." Yuber answered nonchalantly.
"Can you consider staying here Yuber?" The authoress sounded pleading.
"Definitely not."
The authoress sighed. "Well then Lazlo, this is your first victim, punish Yuber."
"What I have to do to him?" Lazlo asked with a confused face.
"Just ask him to do whatever you want, something that will not make him happy."
"Fine, Yuber your punishment is you have to save one hundred people from death," Lazlo stated.
"What!" Yuber shouted.
"And don't forget to ask their signature as proof, don't try to cheat, I will check on it later," Lazlo added.
"It will be much more fun to just see them die."
"That's why I ask you to save them from death. It doesn't make sense if I ask someone who likes to kill to kill people as a punishment since you will definitely feel happy to do it."
"Do you think I will just do whatever you say, don't you know my power. I will make you taste it then." Yuber raised his hand and his hand glowing.
"Will it be okay Lady Marmora?" Lazlo asked with a worried face.
"It will be fine." The authoress reassured him.
The glowed from Yuber's hand faded and nothing happens. Yuber stated in confusion.
"What…what happen to my Eightfold Rune?"
The authoress giggled. "Well, just to be safe, I sealed all the runes in this room."
"What! How did you do it?" Yuber shouted with a shocked face.
"As I said before, I have a special technique as an author."
"Then Yuber, will you take the punishment?" Lazlo asked with a relieved face.
"Who do you think you are bossing me around!" Yuber said still refused to comply.
"Yuber, you just can't do anything without your rune, right." The authoress giggled.
"What! Don't underestimate me, fine then, I will take that punishment, it's easy."
Yuber then left the room immediately.
"Just according to my plan, he fell for that trick easily…You can continue Lazlo."
"Thanks, Lady Marmora, now I want to ask…Mhmm… well, Tir then." Lazlo said after looking around.
"What do you want to ask me?" Tir raised his eyebrows.
"Tir, what is the best scene you like in Suikoden I?"
"Oh, I think it's when Ted got into a fight with Futch and then with Luc, it's so funny."
"Ted got into a fight! When I meet him, he's really not sociable. I am glad to hear that he finally have some friends."
"Yeah, Ted must be sad now, that Luc has become an antagonist." Tir sighed.
Everyone stared at Luc.
"What! Don't blame me, Konami decided all of it, I even think to talk to our creator Yoshitaka, but he left. What an irresponsible man, abandoning us like that." Luc said in defence.
"Did he really abandon us?" Hugo asked no one in particular.
"Hey guys, don't talk like that, I am sure he has many problems on his own. Don't think badly about him, he is our father after all," Tir said to encourage the others.
"Look who talk, you killed your own father, remember," Luc stated.
Tir turned down his head and looked at the floor.
A lady with short blond hair and carmine eyes stood up from her chair and shouted at Luc while pointing at him.
"Don't talk like that to Master Tir, I will make you pay."
"It's okay, Captain Milia."
"But, Master Tir."
"You hear him, he knows that I am right."
Lazlo stood up from his chair angrily. "Please by quiet Luc, another ill speak from your mouth, then I will punish you."
"As if I care what you said."
Lazlo stared at Luc until he was silenced and looked at Tir again. "Tir, just ignore him."
"Thank you, Lazlo."
"Okay, the next question is what the best scene you like in Suikoden II."
"I think nothing special happened that time, I am just slightly appeared there," Tir said while his face was slightly blushing.
"Oh really, so why are you blushing," Lazlo smirked at that.
"What! I am not blushing." Tir denied.
"I think I knew the answer to that question, Lazlo."
"Is that true, Lady Sierra?"
"This kid Tir was spending time together with Kasumi in a forest and having dinner in a secret place three months after the Dunan Unification War."
"How did you know that?" Tir shouted.
"I heard it from Nash, he saw you two with Meg and Millie."
"How did they get there? That supposed to be a secret place." Tir shouted again.
"They accidentally got teleport there by Viki."
"Damn Viki," Tir said in his thought. "Wait, you didn't have to mention that Lady Sierra, that scene is in Suikogaiden II, that not what Lazlo asked me."
"That true, but Lazlo question did remind you about that scene right, Suikogaiden takes place in Suikoden II after all."
They argument disturbed by someone laughter.
"Ha ha ha, it makes me curious, how Kasumi is doing now, she must have been married to someone and had children. She must have lived happily now, or maybe she has died, you waste your time and your chance Tir," Luc said between laughter.
Tir turned down his head because of shocked at what Luc said.
"Luc please don't interfere, just be quiet until your turn," Lazlo said. Lazlo turned his head to the author.
"You never say it has to be this hard," Lazlo said accusingly.
"I am also never saying it will be easy." The authoress said in defence.
"It must be what you mean to say to Lady Sierra."
Sierra smiled at the author. "Thank you then, little girl."
"As I said, you will be thankful to me later Lady Sierra, and Lazlo just bears with it, you have become a leader before, right."
Lazlo sighed. "Fine, I will try to bear with it… Well, it is enough with Tir. I think I have to let him calm himself now." Lazlo said while looking at the shocked Tir. "Well, then I want to speak with Sasarai."
"Yes," Sasarai answered.
"You know, your brother really is a gadfly. It makes me wonder which one is the oldest between you two."
"Well, I really don't know about that. Why don't you ask His Holiness Hikusaak, he is our creator after all," Sasarai suggested.
Lazlo turned his head to one of the people with the white robe. "So His Holiness Hikusaak, which one is the oldest between Luc and Sasarai?"
The authoress walked toward Hikusaak and gave him some papers and pen. Lazlo looked at her with curious eyes.
"What did you give him that?"
"Well, as I said before because they never appear, they also want to use paper and pen to write their answer to hide their voices."
Everyone was silenced to wait for Hikusaak to write his answer. After a while, Hikusaak walked toward Lazlo and gave him the paper, Lazlo looked at the paper with shocked eyes.
"I think we better forget that question…so the next question is…" Lazlo said nervously.
Before Lazlo finished what he wanted to say, Luc stood up from his chair and shouted.
"Wait, what did he write in that paper?"
"Luc, it surprises me that you cared about something like this," Lazlo stated.
"Just read it," Luc shouted.
"Fine, he said 'I created many clones, I don't remember which one I created first, don't ask me something trivia like that again' that's all he said."
Everyone frowned, including Luc, and then he regained his cool again and said.
"I must be the oldest. This weakling is an easily manipulated pawn. It's impossible for him to be the oldest."
Everyone was silenced.
"I fed up with you Luc." Lazlo turned his head toward the author. "Can I punish him?"
"Sure, do what you want with him."
"I don't afraid with your punishment," Luc exclaimed.
"Really, mmhm… I wonder what the best punishment for you?"
Lazlo put his hand in his chin and looked around the room, his eyes turned to Leknaat and he smiled.
"Luc your punishment is, you must hug Lady Leknaat and say you are sorry and you love her. Do it in front of us."
"What!" Luc screamed.
The others just chuckled and also said that the best punishment for him in their thought.
"Well, do it now Luc," Lazlo ordered.
"I won't, I would rather die."
Lazlo sighed and looked at the author. "What I must do now?"
"Well just relax, I have an idea." The authoress said while walking toward Leknaat.
"Well Lady Leknaat, I am sure you have foreseen what I want to do. Will you allow me to do it?"
"I will do it if it's regarding Luc punishment. I love him just like my own son. It's all right with me to take his burden." Leknaat stated.
"You hear that Luc. Lady Leknaat love you. Why don't you just take your punishment?" The authoress shouted.
"Like hell, I will do it," Luc exclaimed.
"Fine then, it looks like I really have to summon him."
The authoress wrote something in her paper and then suddenly they heard someone screamed and a person fell to Yuber's empty chair.
"Where am I? Why did this has to happen when I have a good time seeing Flik running around town looking for his sword that I hid and shouted 'Where is my Odessa' that was really funny. Then again, why I am here."
Some of them sighed and said in their though. "Poor Flik", the authoress walked toward that man.
"Hi Viktor, welcome to Ceras Lake Castle." The authoress greeted him.
"What! I am in Ceras Lake Castle? Does that mean I am in Falena?" Viktor looked in shock.
"That right."
"Why I am here?"
"I summon you here, I need your help."
Viktor look around the room seeing the faces he recognized and the faces that he did not recognize.
"What did all you guys doing here with this bad people." Viktor pointed at the antagonists.
The authoress then explained the situation, Viktor then laughed after it.
"Ha ha ha, so that what happens. What you want me to do? Do you want me to beat Luc up until he wants to take his punishment?" He said between laughter.
"No, that won't work. I have a better idea, and I am sure you will like it." The authoress smirked.
"Really what is it?"
"I want you to kiss Lady Leknaat in front of Luc."
"What!" Viktor and Luc screamed while someone was passing out because of shock.
Leknaat was just silenced since she had foreseen it.
"Well, I would like you three to do it in another room, since I don't want any underage kid to see it."
"Who do you mean!" Hugo exclaimed.
"It a pleasure for me to do it," Viktor said happily.
"Stop it! Don't think that I will allow that bear man to kiss my mistress," Luc said with a shocked face.
"Why, who you are to talk like that, you aren't her husband or son. You are just her apprentice and Lady Leknaat has agreed with my plan before." The authoress reasoned.
"But… but." Luc stammered
"Well then, can you do it now Viktor, in another room of course."
"Wait, I will do it," Luc shouted.
"What did you say, Luc?" The authoress asked while giggling.
"I will take the punishment."
"Good, everything happens according to my plan."
"What! So you know I won't get to kiss Lady Leknaat." Viktor said with a disappointed face.
"That right, but just stay here for a while, in case Luc change his mind."
"Okay, then can you do it now Luc," Lazlo said after regaining his consciousness, apparently he was the one who passed out because of shock with the authoress's plan.
Luc then walked toward Leknaat chair with a cranky face.
"Lady Leknaat..." Luc looked hesitated.
"Yes, Luc."
"Since you have foreseen it, then it won't be really hard then. Well, I am sorry for all of my mistakes and I love you Lady Leknaat as a mother of course." He finally said it.
Luc then hugged Lady Leknaat. The others chuckled and moved by the view while Viktor was whistling at them. After a while, Luc released the hug and went back to his chair with blush in his face.
"Well then, you may leave Viktor, I will summon you again if I need your help." The authoress said.
"What! Fine then, at least return me back to where I came from, I want to see how Flik is doing right now."
"Okay." The authoress said while writing something again in her paper, then in a flash, Viktor disappeared from that room.
"So, will we continue this meeting?" Lazlo asked.
Suddenly they heard a ringing voice. The authoress looked at her watch.
"Oops, sorry everybody, we will continue this meeting another time. I have to go to college now." The authoress stood up from her chair and walked toward the door. "See you another time."
Everyone sighed and one by one left that room.
