Arcane Legacy

Author's Note 1: This fanfic can be classified as either an alternate sequel of Star Ocean: Cyrus' Side, or the next story after Kingdom Hearts: Till the End of Time (you're pick). I know a few are wondering why I would go back to this character who was a Mary Sue. I would have rewritten the first story, but I'm too lazy to do that. I could have also decided to continue the sequel, but my ideas on that ran dry for the time being. The main reason was to use what I've learned through my other stories and improve one of my very first literary works. So here is my new story.
Author's Note 2: I know there are those who think Cyrus is a Mary Sue (I can't blame you. Even I'm thinking he's too much). So for the sake of the readers, and the rest of the story, I will try and die down some of his abilities. This means, there will be a few attacks that will not be included.
Author's note 3: The Italics are thoughts of the character's.

Chapter 1
The luminescence of the duo moons shine on the continent of Gaitt on a world known as Elicoor II. Their light gleaming over the land of a somewhat familiar world. A medieval world where dragons rule, monarchy reigns, and heroes roam. But on this night, in the capital of Aquaria, the Sacred City of Aquios, it is an evening of both tradition and praise. It is the yearly Festival of the Queens, an occasion that celebrates the past queens of Aquaria. The most prominent of which was Aquaria I, the woman who drove back the mechs during the early war between the Ancient City of Aquar, and the advanced superpower of Greeton.
On this evening, a young man around fifteen years of age and of African-American decent cruised through the crowded streets of the city of water. He wore a black cap, a trench coat, and black colored clothes. He also carried a unique black blade on his back and an empty hilt on his waist. At the moment, he was listening to "Gin n Juice" by Snoop Dogg. This was a teenager who belongs in a land that time has long since forgot. He was Cyrus M. Splicer, a swordsman from the distant past who was also one of the individuals that defeated the "Creator" of this universe, and a dimension hopping being of nearly omnipresent power. It has been three months since that incident and the young shizznit has taken it slow on the undeveloped planet of Elicoor with a few other comrades of his. "This party's poppin'," he thought to himself. "The food is great and the ladies are dimes." It wasn't long after a couple of young women passed by. The two giggled and waved at Cyrus, who returned with a wave and a smile of his own. "Just like I thought, the chicks can't resist." He continued his trek, heading for the castle to meet with a couple of his comrades. "It's been a while since I saw Jack and Lude. Well, more like a week, but it was a long one."
By the time he arrived near the stairs that led to the castle gate, he approached two young males that were about his age who have the same place and time of origin as himself. One was a Caucasian male who wore Adidas while the other wore white sneakers with a gold lining. One was a white male wearing a pair of Adidas, a red Fubu sweater, green baggy pants, and a black Joker beanie. The was an Asian male with white shoes, black eyeglasses, and a blue blazer. He wore a yellow bandanna and baggy red jeans. It was his friends that he has known for half of his life, Jack Ritz and Lude Kodinjo, respectively. "Ah, it would appear that our brother in arms has arrived," Lude said.
"Hey, home G," Jack began. "Keepin' it real I hope?"
"You know it," Cyrus said. "So what have you guys been up to?"
"The usual. Still preaching about the big man whose words of truth flow like water."
Lude and Cyrus stared blankly at their friend, being somewhat mystified. "You mean you've found religion?" Lude replied. "I wouldn't believe it."
"Huh? Oh, not that guy. The other guy. You know, Big Snoop."
"Oh yeah," Cyrus said. "Sorry, you sorta threw me off there, man." Indeed it is true. Not long after their victory, Jack, with the help of Cyrus and a Menodix named Roger, started a church. But it wasn't for any known religion. It was a new religion modeled after a gangsta rapper from Compton who lived during the twenty-first century: Snoop Dogg. It is called the Church of Snoop, located in the mining town of Kirlsa of the neighboring country called Airyglyph. It was somewhat comical, yet interesting due to the large following it has received in such a short time. Something that you would see on Family Guy.
"I should have known," Lude said. "The day you preach the voice of god is the day Kevin Federline can tie his shoes. Let alone make an actual rap album."
"Oh ha, ha," Jack said sarcastically. "You're just jealous because I thought of it first." Lude only rolled his eyes at the comment. "Speaking of which, what have you been doing, man?"
"Yeah," Cyrus said. "How's the dojo, Kodinjo?"
"Ah, yes," Lude said. "I am proud to say that my establishment is thriving indeed. I do take good pride in teaching self-defense to those who wish to learn." Around the time Jack started the Church of Snoop, Lude also began a project of his own. With the help of a Cyrus (when he had the time) and a girl from another dimension named Ravage, he built his dojo in the city of Peterny, Aquaria's center of commerce. Just as Lude said, it is rather successful, thanks to it being a place where many styles can be learned. "But enough about us. What about you, Cyrus?" he asked. "What, pray tell, have you done?"
Cyrus scratched his head and smiled. "Well… I've been here and there."
"Man," Jack began. "And they say I won't stop."
"You won't stop until you're thirst has been quenched, will you?" Lude asked.
Cyrus gave a small laugh. "I guess." Ever since Cyrus and the others saved the universe, the young male has usually been traveling. He would see how things were going with the Crimson Blade, or he would spend time with his two friends. Cyrus has also traveled to Earth a few weeks ago, with help from Maria, a young woman who leads and intermediary group known as Quark. Occasionally, he would return to his home which lies in Arias, a once war-torn village that had suffered during the last war, but is steadily recovering. His visits would be short, however, as he continued on his nomadic travels. "What can I say, I love to travel."
"Now that's what I call keepin' it real, homes," Jack said. "Anyway, how's 'bout we go and see what the chicks are doin' 'round here."
"Sounds good, man."
Lude sighed. "You two will never change."
"Oh come on," Jack said. "You know you want to, man."
"Please. I have more pressing business to attend."
"Oh, I see now," Cyrus said.
"See what?"
"I think you already got a lady. Is it Ravage?"
"W-What!?" At that moment, Lude's cheeks reddened. He tried to turn around to look away from Cyrus.
Unfortunately, Jack was sitting on that side, and was eager to join the fun. "Oh, don't hide it man," he said.
"We are not a couple," Lude retorted. "We just share a lot in common, that is all."
"That's what they all say, Lude, my boy."
"I knew it," Cyrus said. "Ever since you two first met, you couldn't keep your eyes off one another."
"You misunderstand. We are simply equivalent in intellectual prowess who enjoy one another's company. Nothing more and nothing less."
Both Cyrus and Jack chuckled as Lude continued to blush and get annoyed. "That's funny, man," said Jack, knowing how much the both of them were getting on their comrade's nerves.
"Alright, man, change of subject," Cyrus said. "Let's hit the town."
"Fine," Lude said.
"Lead the way, G," Jack said. The three boys went back to the crowded streets of the festival. They ate festival food, attracted a few women, and conversed with the locals. Though there were a few people who knew who they were and saw them as celebrities, but they didn't bring too much attention to themselves. After about an hour, the crowd slowly silenced. At first, Cyrus and his friends had no idea why, until they realized what was taking place at the castle.
In a royal white robe standing on the castle balcony was the country's figure of divinity and hope. She is Holy Mother of the Church of Apris and the monarch of Aquaria. Her name is Romeria Zin Emurille, but the people of the country call her Queen Aquaria XXVII. Cyrus and the others looked up at her majesty's presence.
"So that is the Queen of Aquaria you've told us about?" Lude asked.
"Yep, that's her," Cyrus said with a smile.
"Man, what a babe!" Jack stated rather blatantly. "Makes me wish I was royalty, homies!"
The two covered Jack's mouth and hissed, "Zip it, Cracker Jack!" The two looked around, hoping no one was paying attention to their friend's statement.
Cyrus looked up at the entourage that accompanied her in familiarity. "Hey guys, look who else is up there." One of them was a woman wearing a dark colored scarf and light armor that covered body. Her hair was reddish-pink and she had tattoos on her arms and legs. It was the Secret Legion's top ranking leader, Nel Zelpher. With her two ladies around her age. One of them, a purple-haired woman with a very short skirt and top by the name of Farleen. The other is a short-haired blonde who wears the same attire named Tynave. These two work under Lady Nel in her department.
"Man, I was right to stay in this dimension," Jack replied. "You can't get ladies like that back home."
"That may be the smartest thing you've said all day, Jack," Cyrus quipped.
The trio turned their focus back on the balcony. It wasn't long after one of the Queen's servants brought over a large silver saucer and placed it on the balcony rail. "Hey, what's with the dinner plate?"
"I heard of this. That is the Saucer of the People."
"You mean we're all eating from that?"
"That's not what it means," Cyrus said. "That Saucer represents the people of Aquaria and how they stand together, unified under the Sun."
"How do you know all of that?"
"I gathered information from the people who know about this event." Cyrus then dug into his pocket to pull out a small booklet. "And I also read it from this little pamphlet here."
Meanwhile, on the balcony, the Queen seemed somewhat troubled. She seemed to think that something was out of place, but couldn't figure out what it was. Her train of thought was interrupted by Nel. "Your Majesty," the red-head began in a concerned tone, "Are you alright?"
"I am quite fine, Lady Nel," the Queen said. "I just had something on my mind."
"Yes, your majesty."
With concentration, she called upon her runological power (symbology on other planets). With her hands glowing, she focused her energy on the plate. In less than a few minutes, a good sized flame of purple hue lit on the plate. The crowd below clapped as the fire continued to burn.
In the audience below, Cyrus and Lude also joined in on the applause. Jack, however, was still wet behind the ears. "I don't get it," he said. "All she did was light up the plate."
"Okay," Cyrus said. "Lude, how about you take this one."
"Alright. You see, the plate represents the people that live under the sun, right?"
"Okay, sure," Jack said.
"According to the Church of Apris, the sun is the manifestation of Apris. However, because the god is unable to set foot on this planet, he bestowed his powers onto another person: the Emissary of Apris. That person is the voice of god, who's role is currently taken by the Holy Mother, Queen Aquaria XXVII. It is her job to lead her people on Apris' true path. And that is what the flame represents."
"I get it," Jack said. "So the plate is all the people who come together and the fire is the leader."
"Correct, Jack."
"I think that cleared it up," Cyrus said. Suddenly, a loud bang was heard in the sky. The shizznit trio, along with the rest of the crowd, looked up at the sky and saw the dispersing of fireworks. Most of the crowd cheered as pyrotechnics lit the nightly sky above them. Lude, on the other hand, appeared to show suspicion towards the fireworks. Cyrus noticed his doubting expression and asked, "What's wrong, man? You look tense."
"Cyrus, check your brochure. Is there supposed to be a pyrotechnics exhibition tonight?"
Cyrus gave Lude a questionable glanced, but he turned to the schedule without a word. He read the information and saw nothing about fireworks. "It doesn't look like it's here."
"Maybe the people that set this thing up wanted it to be a surprise event," Jack said.
"I doubt it. Lude might be on to something."
"What do you mean?"
"This isn't part of the show," said Lude. "I believe there is something wrong."
"You could be right," said Cyrus. "I hate to go out on a limb here, but I don't remember anyone with knowledge of pyrotechnics. And these are the same people that created cannons which can amplify symbology."
"Man, you two are overreacting," Jack said. "They're just fireworks, man! You think there's some sort of 'secret plot'?"
"I'm surprised, Jack. I would think you of all people would be jumping on this like Tom Cruise on Oprah when he was first engaged to Katie Holmes."
"Name one example."
"There was that time you thought Barney was in league with the Republicans by screwing up the minds of young children," said Lude.
"Or when you thought the government was behind the murders of Tupac an Biggie Smalls," Cyrus said.
"Or that George Bush is using Paris Hilton's stupidity to secretly pass his nefarious plans."
"Though you got to admit, that is a possibility."
"Man, I just said one," Jack replied in a low tone.
"We better get to the Queen, just to be safe," Cyrus replied. The three young men rushed to the castle, pushing their way through the crowd like salmon fighting against the current. At the moment, they knew they had to try and make it to the gates before any other surprises occurred.
Meanwhile, the Queen stared up at the sky, maintaining a calm image. She was unsure of what to make of this event. Her bodyguards were also bewildered about what was happening. "Your majesty," said Nel. "Did you know about this?"
"I did not. And honestly, I do not believe this to be our doing?" Nel focused on the Queen. "I believe this is by another."
"But who?" Suddenly, the expression from the crowd below change quickly from astonished perplexity to panic and fear. A large explosion was set off in the western area of town. Chaos broke loose as another blast, this time in the southern eastern area, occurred. In an attempt to maintain the peace, Aquarian soldiers hurried to the scene. Many tried to stop the frenzy while others went to the sight of the accidents to control the situations near the accidents.
"What's going on?" Farleen replied. "Are we under attack?"
"Tynave, Farleen! Get down there and help the soldiers!" Nel ordered. "I'll stay with the Queen!"
"Yes, ma'am!" the two young women said in unison. The two hurried to the scene as quickly as they could.
"Oh, Apris," the Queen of Aquaria said. "Why is this happening?"
"Perhaps I may provide the answer," said an unknown voice. The two quickly turned around and saw a person hidden near the doorway. "However, that would depend on how well you cooperate."
"Are you responsible for the attack?" Nel asked in a serious tone as she pulled out one of her daggers.
An eerie chuckle was heard from the unknown character. In a casual stride and hands in his pockets, he strolled near the two women before stopping a couple meters away. He seemed to be in his late twenties, wearing heavy black clothes. Over each eye was a long black mark, similar to a cheetah's. "Somewhat, yes. However, this is really the collective work of the organization I work for."
"Who are you?" the Queen asked. "What did you come here for?"
"I go by the name of Umbra," he said with a bow. He then revealed a wicked grin and said, "And I have come for you, Your Majesty."
At that reply, Nel got in a defensive stance, ready to protect the monarch of her country from this dark, new foe. "Don't take another step," she warned. "If you value your life, you will surrender now and refrain from your attempts."
Umbra looked at Nel with interest and gave a light chuckle. "Spunky, sexy, yet loyal. A nice combination. I like that in a woman. However, you are no match for me."
"You seem over-confident," said Nel. "That will be your downfall."
"Over-confidence, you say? I beg to differ, miss. Please, allow me to demonstrate." He pulled up his sleeve to reveal a device that wrapped around his lower arm. With a press of a button, objects were being transported down to the castle. Surrounding the Queen and the Crimson Blade captain. They were automatons about eight feet tall, armed with small blasters on their arms and thrusters on their backs. Their legs were long and bent at the back. They also had feet that were shaped like a bird's. "Do you like my entourage? If you co-operate, then no harm will come to you. However, if you insist on resisting, then I will have no choice but to take action. The choice is yours."
Nel smirked. "You think these mechanized soldiers scare me? I won't let you come any closer."
"Fine, fine. Just remember this is your funeral."
Right before the enemy could give the order, he was stopped by someone shouting, "Alright, home boys! Let's do this! Leeeeeroooooyyy Jenkiiiiiiiins!"
"Nice going, Cracker Jack!" shouted the voice of another. "There went the element of surprise." The figures that arrived on the scene were none other than Cyrus, Jack, and Lude. With swords, guns, and fists, the trio went to work on the metal menaces. The three were able to destroy the robots with ease. "That wasn't too hard," Cyrus said.
"Cyrus, Jack, Lude," Nel replied. "What are you doing here?"
"In for the party, in for a pound," Jack said as he cracked his knuckles.
"We thought we should lend a hand," Lude said. He then turned to Umbra and said, "I guess we had good timing."
"So you're the one responsible," Cyrus said. "If you don't want to get injured badly, you'd get out of here while you have the chance."
"Bold words for such a young child," Umbra replied. "However, the bold are always the first to fall."
"You seem so sure. Why don't you come over here and show us, chump!"
Umbra smirked at the street wise trio. "It's pointless. Why should I get my hands dirty when I have subsidiaries that can do it for me."
He pushed his sleeve up once again and pressed a button. Now more of Umbra's metal minions were arriving on the scene. Cyrus, Jack, Lude, and Nel banded together, hoping to guard the Queen from Umbra. "Hey, man," Jack began, "this ain't looking good."
"I agree," Lude said. "We can only hold them off for so long. Anyone have a plan they would like to share."
"I might have an idea," Cyrus said. He then turned to Nel and asked, "Is there a place where you could safely hide the Queen in this kind of situation?"
"There is a safe house," the spy said. "But it's near the Samnite Republic. There's no way we could get there safely without drawing too much unwanted attention."
"She's right," Jack agreed.
"How about the Sacred Cavern?" said Cyrus.
"What do you mean?" Lude asked. "What's this 'Sacred Cavern'?
"It's a passage that runs underneath the city. Similar to the Airyglyph Aqueducts. If we could get the Queen to the Church downstairs, then there might be a chance for a safe escape through the hidden caves."
"Sounds like a plan," Nel said. She turned to the Queen and asked, "Your Majesty…"
"I understand, Lady Nel."
"Okay, Cyrus. Let's go."
"Face it, people," Umbra began. "You're outmatched and outclassed. Give up your royal figure or suffer an unbearable defeat."
"Sorry, Umbrella!" Jack replied. "Love to stay and chat, but we gotta run!" With that said, the team rushed passed the enemy, guarding the Queen as they moved.
"Don't just stand there, you mindless metal cans! Get them and capture the Queen!" Following their orders, the robots started catching up with their prey.
Cyrus turned his MP3 Player to "Starless Wavelets" by Motoi Sakuraba. Inside the Audience Chamber, a couple more robots were transported in front of the entrance. Their arms rose, blasters ready to fire. Jack quickly drew his pistols and used Rapid Shot on one of the foes. The lead bounced off the metal with a large amount of force before destroying the robot. The second was dispose of by Nel's Flying Guillotine, sliced in half by a dagger that soon returned to her hand like a boomerang. They left the room and continued through the hall. They not only had to contend with the mechanical foes in the hall, but also the enemies that were catching up to them. Cyrus made a path ahead, using his swordsmanship to clear a path through the horde while Lude took care of their pursuers. The Queen of Aquaria and her entourage were able to make it to the bottom floor safely. However, their path was blocked by at least five robots in front of the stairs. "It looks like they made it down here, too," Jack said.
"And we're trapped by the enemy," said Lude.
"Not for long," Nel said.
At that instant, a long pole weapon swept through the blockade, knocking the foes to the ground. They were then finished off by a fire type ability while still on the ground. "Lady Nel!" a high-pitched voice said. Rushing toward the four were Nel's subordinates, Tynave and Farleen. Joining the duo were a few soldiers in armor reminiscent to shoguns of ancient Japan on Earth.
"What's going on here, everyone?" asked the more subtle voice of Tynave.
"Long story short, some guy wants the Queen," Cyrus said. "We're trying to get her Majesty to the safety of the caverns. Think you can help?"
"Leave it to us!" Farleen said.
"We'll help you through this," Tynave said.
"Hey, is her voice always like that?" Jack whispered to Cyrus. Cyrus ignored the question as the group pushed on through the halls. More robot soldiers were being transported to the floor. However, they were no match for the six warriors' skills. In due time, they made it to the front of the Church.
"We're here," said the Queen. "I just hope they do not follow us inside."
"Your Majesty," Nel began, "we will ensure your safety. No matter what."
"I thank you, and your comrades, Lady Nel."
"Just doing our job, Your Majesty," Jack said. Suddenly, the group turned their attention forward as a form in dark clothes materialized. It was Umbra with folded arms and was not looking pleased.
"You guys get outta here," Cyrus said. "We'll take care of this fool." Nel nodded as she and her comrades led the Queen inside the Temple. As they left, the three young men got in defensive positions. Cyrus turned on "Vato" by Snoop Dogg before readying his lightsaber and Abysmal Offender. Jack armed himself with both pistols, pointing them straight at Umbra. Lude took on a defensive position, fists up and legs apart.
"This is comedic," Umbra said. "Do you really think that juveniles such as yourselves can hold me back." The foe merely laughed. "Isn't it past your curfews? Why don't you run along."
"The only guy who will be running is you!" Jack said.
"I suggest you leave before you get hurt really bad," Cyrus threatened. "You're messing with the three shizznits now."
"Is that so?" Umbra said.
"That is correct," Lude replied.
"I'm sorry, to disappoint you. Like I said before, I have pressing business with the Queen."
"Then I guess you'll have to reschedule for another time," Cyrus said.
"Or I could remove you three from my way. I think I'll choose the latter."
"Bring it on!" Materializing from a pool of darkness near his shadow, Umbra's weapon of choice, a large black scythe with a red eye appeared. He grabbed his weapon and held it tightly, ready to defend against the three shizznits.
Cyrus used powerful slashes at Umbra, but the enemy parried against the attacks. Cyrus then put some distance between himself and fired a few Fire Bolts at the foe. The attacks seemed to have only bounce off the foe. Before Cyrus could continue, the blunt of Umbra's scythe made impact with his chest before he was thrown back by a powerful slash by the blade.
Jack retaliated with a flurry of bullets from his gun. Umbra spun his pole weapon, shielding himself from the bullets. Jack then used his Bomb Bullet, arming his weapons with a special bullet that exploded on impact as soon as it hit Umbra. Though the attack was accurate, the damage was minimal. With surprising speed, Umbra dashed toward Jack and cross chopped at the gunner.
Lude quickly joined into the fray with Shaolin punches and kicks. Using his agility and grace, the teen attacked with a combination of power and speed. He continued to parrying blows against the scythe-wielder before using Fatal Footwork. Lude delivered strong kicks to the enemy, kicks that would be considered bone-shattering when used on normal opponents. But Umbra has proved that wasn't a normal opponent.
With quick reaction time, Umbra not only blocked Lude's flurry of feet, but also dodged the strikes. It wasn't long before Umbra made a counter of his own. He grabbed Lude by the collar and tossed him back. With a quick twist, his scythe made impact, slashing the young male right before he was thrown toward his comrades. "Was that it?" Umbra asked. "I had thought that you three would be slightly interesting."
Cyrus slowly picked himself up. His body was aching all over. He was soon on his two, unsteady legs. Using Healing, Cyrus recovered enough energy to use one last attack. His body was concealed in darkness. His sword was also burning in a shadow aura. Umbra still smirked as his opponent was ready to unleash a powerful move. With his power at a maximum, the dark shizznit dashed across the room, and used Shadow Slash. In less than a second, Cyrus gave a powerful slash that made impact on Umbra before he appeared behind him. After he used the move, Cyrus' dark aura dissipated. He turned toward Umbra to find that he was still standing. "But how…?" he asked dumbfounded.
"Yo, man," said Jack. "That ain't right!"
"Shadow Slash is one of Cyrus' strongest sword attacks. Right next to Fayt's Blade of Fury, even the strongest enemies suffer great damage."
"There's a reason my name is Umbra," Umbra said. "Your attacks are composed of dark energy. My friend, I can manipulate and absorb the very shadows themselves. Your attacks are useless." Cyrus scowled at the enemy as he turned around. "Here. Let me show you a true Shadow Slash from the Master of Darkness." A dark aura shrouded his scythe's blade. Cyrus could feel the dark power growing. As Umbra pulled his weapon back, Cyrus braced himself for impact. With surprising speed and power, the long weapon slashed right through the shizznit's defenses. The attack was so strong, Cyrus crashed hard into the wall behind him, knocking the wind out of him. "Not worth a challenge." With that said, Umbra left the hall and walked inside the Chapel. Standing in front of the podium were Nel, Tynave, and Farleen. "Ah, if it isn't you three," Umbra replied. "As much as I would love to talk, I would like to see your Queen."
"You're too late," Nel said. "Her Majesty is gone."
"Where is she?"
"We won't tell you anything!" Tynave stated.
"Yeah!" Farleen added.
Umbra snickered as they held their ground. "Alright, alright. I guess I'll let you off. I've spend enough time here as is." He turned around and started walking out the door. But then he stopped near the doorway and cocked his head to the side. "But before I leaves, I have two things to say. This planet isn't the only world that my colleagues are targeting. We also have our sights on the one Mr. Leingod is currently inhabiting: Earth."
"What do you want with Fayt!?" Nel demanded.
"Sorry. That's a members only type of thing. And the second thing I would like to tell you is that your friends in the hall aren't looking too well." Umbra bowed and said, "Now I bid you young women adieu." With that said, Umbra was transported out of the Chapel and back on his ship.
The spies hurried to the hall where they saw Cyrus, Lude, and Jack on the ground. Their injuries were severe. Nel quickly checked up on Cyrus, who was badly battered. "Cyrus, are you alright?"
"I've… never felt… better…" Cyrus tried to say. He then passed up, still suffering from the assault by Umbra.
"Farleen, find some doctors, quickly!"
"Yes, ma'am!" Farleen said as she hurried outside to the Inn.
Nel and Tynave were now left with the fallen trio. Trying to ease their pain, the two were using whatever medicine that was right for this situation.
