Author's Notes: I don't own Final Fantasy VIII: Advent Children. I dedicate this story to Bloody Priestess, Patricia Caridad C. Floro, and Jiggs Rainer Adiong and to myself because we are part in this story. And to Leslie C. Alonzo because she helped me with some of the details in my story.
Chapter One: From Another Realm
Sir Leon crossed his fingers as he eased back on his chair. He sighed heavily. The Dark Angel Messenger Organization is an organization that trains highly skilled thief and assassins. But for now what's important is that he has three apprentices that are what they seem to be professionals. He remembered there is only one oracle left that they need to have…the Oracle of Fire. They have already the Oracle of Wind, Water and Earth. They say when these Oracles are gathered it can open up dimensions like past, present and future. Time traveling, as what they call. And when these oracles are merged they became one and it's already called the Elemental Oracle. Sir Leon pushed the intercom and he heard his secretary's voice. "Yes sir?" Sy asked over the phone. Her voice was always calm.
"Send my three apprentices Sy. I'll be waiting", Sir Leon said curtly.
"Yes sir. Right away" and Sy hanged up. Sir Leon gave a wry smile, easing back at his chair.
The three Dark Angel Messengers stole the other three oracles from different museums. When they knew they were being called by their Master, they thought they'll be stealing another oracle again. Ixa opened the door and went in first. Masamune was the one who closed the door. "You called us, sir", Ixa began. Sir Leon nodded to what she said as the three were standing in a straight line. They were trained very well.
"Yes I called for the three of you", Sir Leon replied, looking at each of them. "Your last mission will be to get the last Oracle of Fire at the Grand Central Museum. You'll go there this eleven o'clock in the evening", he explained. He stood up slowly, put his two hands behind his back and walked beside the table. He was still young at the age of twenty-five, black haired and brownish eyes. He was a little slender and tall and he dresses neatly. It would be shocking to know if some people will find out his true identity.
"Sir may we know what will happen if these oracles will be gathered?" Eiser asked, a very intelligent woman. Eiser always asked to know on something's that she doesn't know. In the group she's intelligent and cautious.
"My dear when these oracles will be together they will become one and it will be called the Elemental Oracle. It can open up other dimensions…more or like a time machine", their leader explained. It was Masamune's turn to ask.
"Sir are you planning to go to other dimensions?" that caught Ixa and Eiser's attention. Their leader gave a wry smile.
"I have no plans yet on what I'll do if the last oracle will have in our hands. I'll tell my plans when I made up my mind". The three messengers nodded. "I think you better leave now my children. You have fifteen minutes before eleven", Sir Leon added. That caught their attention and nodded.
"We'll be back Sir Leon", Ixa told him as her comrades nodded.
"Take care along the way you three", Sir Leon reminded. The three messengers nodded their heads and left. Sir Leon sighed. "I wonder if…I'll see that girl again…"and he went back to sit on his chair and thought about his Dark Angel Messengers.
"Thank God this will be the last Oracle!" Masamune exclaimed as they went to the garage where they'll be using their motorcycles. Masamune and Ixa have the same motorcycle. Its color is black and it was big. It can accommodate two or three people. Their motorcycles are of course, high technology. It will not touch the ground but it will be at least some meters from the ground. In short, their motorcycles are like "flying". Eiser doesn't have a motorcycle, she'll be comfortable to hitch at Ixa's motorcycle, she said.
"Hope you're right Masamune", Ixa said. Ixa was wearing a fitting black turtle neck shirt that matches her figure. She wore a long black trench coat that reaches her boots, she wore black leather pedals that reached below her knees, and her black boots are flat. She wore a pair of black gloves and a small patch that can be seen above the gloves which you can see sharp blades. Her claws will immediately come out when she's in battle. It's like her weapon was made for her for they know when to come out above the gloves or should it be when they will come out inside the parchment. Ixa has dark straight shiny black hair, bangs falling above her eyes, her eyes a shade of dark blue. Her hair was tied in a knot and two black chopsticks were hooked, intersecting before the knot. She sighed as she got on her motorcycle. She was also the leader of the three messengers.
"I wonder what will really happen after this", Eiser began as she got on Ixa's motorcycle behind her. Eiser was wearing an off black shoulder kimono, a red obi tied around it and is neat to look at behind her back. Her black fitting skirt reached below her knee, on her right side had a slit. Her boots just like Ixa's which are flat. Her weapons are two fans at the side are deadly because it can cut like knives. Her two weapons are hidden under the sleeve of her kimono, under the sleeve of her kimono, so that her fans will hooked and it will not fall. Her red flaming straight hair was tied in a neat ponytail, but since her hair was layered some of her tresses escape the knot and fall in the sides of her face. Her blue-green eyes adjusted to the night when the gate of the garage was opened. "It's getting chilly", she added as she holds on Ixa's waist.
"Well we better get moving", Masamune said as he got on his motorcycle. They started the engine and speed away. Masamune was wearing a plain black shirt and a black jacket which he looked very handsome on it. He wears a neat black leather pants that matches his shiny black shoes. His weapons are wield dagger that are kept inside his jacket, and just like Ixa, he wears black gloves. He was born to be handsome with his dark brown looks and his eyes golden. And the three of them have the same complexion. "Woo-hoo!" Masamune exclaimed, feeling the cold air.
"When we're through with this, I'll get some sleep", Eiser said, holding Ixa's waist.
"I wonder what will be our mission after this", Ixa thought, driving a little faster.
"Ixa slow down!" Eiser said, burying her face to Ixa's back.
"Ixa be careful!" Masamune advice. Ixa just grinned.
"Don't worry", Ixa began. "I'm the best driver ever!" Eiser and Masamune's expression dropped.
"Feeler!" the both said in unison. Ixa just chuckled.
They had arrived at last in Grand Central Museum. They had knock out all the guards and Masamune cut the alarm. Ixa had seen the Oracle of Fire in the center of the museum. She doesn't have to run and get it, the guards and the alarms are knock out and have been cut. "What's that?" Eiser began. Ixa as alarmed when they saw a black hole. And then a girl came out from the darkness. Ixa quickly ran to the oracle and so did the girl. "Ixa watch out!" but the girl was quick enough to grab the oracle and Ixa rolled over and stood up.
"Darn! Who the hell are you?!" Ixa exclaimed as Eiser and Masamune went to her.
"I'm sorry but I need this", the girl replied, moving away.
"You're not going anywhere", Masamune said as he reached out for his dagger and threw it and the girl's arm was hit as she clutched her left arm.
"Y-You don't understand…D-Dark Angel Messengers", she said and went to the black hole. Ixa followed her.
"No! Wait!"
"Ixa!" Eiser exclaimed, as she followed Ixa. Masamune sighed.
"Well here goes nothing", he said as he went into the hole. Then after a few seconds the hole closed.
It had been one and a half hour and yet his apprentices haven't return. "Something's wrong", Sir Leon thought as he stood up and glanced out to his window. "I hope everything's fine". Then a knock came on the door. "Enter". Sy, his secretary who wore her uniform, white short sleeved polo and on the outside a yellow blazer. Her skirt too is colored yellow that reaches her knees, her black high heels that fitted her uniform. She tied her red-orange hair in a ponytail, her emerald eyes, looked disappointed. "Something wrong Sy?" he asked. She closed the door and nod.
"It's the three messengers", Sy began. "The Spies were watching over them. They said a portal was opened and a girl, the same age they thought, with the three messengers, grabbed the oracle. Then when the girl went inside of the portal the three messengers followed", she explained. The Spies were people who looked like ninjas, their face hidden with a mask. They watch over the three messengers and if something is wrong they report it to their organization immediately. Sir Leon was alarmed.
"A girl?" he repeated again. Sy nodded. "Did they describe her?" Sy thought for a while. She shook her head.
"No sir for there was not enough light to conceal her face, they said. I asked them about it for I know you want to know", Sy explained. Sir Leon nodded, absentmindedly. He waved his hand.
"You may leave Sy". Sy bowed and exited his office. He sat down on his chair and thought "I wonder if it was Riz who stole the Oracle of Fire".
