Chapter 2 - Kill The Sahagin

'Where could Edge have gone,' Rydia thought, 'Why would he just leave like that?'

Rydia sighed. 'Edge... there's so much I can't understand about you...'

"You funny... I can read your thoughts!" a mysterious reptile-like voice shrilled.

"Who are you?" Rydia asked, confused.

"I have no specific name, but you can call me the Psychic Sahagin," it replied. "...but I just wasted my breath, as you will die now!" "Why are you doing this?!?!" Rydia asked, fear shaking in her voice.

"NO MORE QUESTIONS!" the Psychic Sahagin demanded.

Rydia pulled out her whip. She cracked it at him a few times.

"Claws of poison!" The sahagin chanted, "Attack my foes!"

Rydia was hit, and poisoned upon impact. "My body...it's...getting...numb..."

"This poison will hastily poison your whole body, promising a short time left in this world!" The sahagin laughed evilly.

'Edge...' Rydia thought, 'where are you...?'

"AHHHH!!" Edge was being mercilessly tortured by the Dark Sahagin. It was slowly digging his claws into Edge's skin.

"Hehehe... do you like that? Want another one?"

"Edge!" a familiar voice called, "How could you let this happen to you?!?!" It was Cecil. He ran up to Edge.

"I had to...uh...or..else Rydia... Rydia would die!" Edge revealed.

"What?!?! Rydia left to find you, she's not here?"

"No..." Edge responded. "I... wouldn't... like her to see me like... this..."

"What's this? King Cecil of Baron? Allow us to fight!" the sahagin challenged.

"Fine, but this will be quick!" Cecil replied. He drew his sword.

The sahagin lunged at him . "LEGEND!" Cecil yelled. A large stream of light exploded out of the tip of the blade and annihilated the monster. The body of the sahagin disappeared in a blinding red light. "Edge, this may not help much but..." Cecil chanted, "Powers of light, give me the powers to heal all wounds!"

"Where could Cecil be? We're serving cake now!" Rosa said, slightly annoyed, "how hard is it to find Edge?"

"I bet that he's hanging out with them at a men's club!" Palom remarked. Porom quickly hit him on the head. "Owww...." Palom cried.

The windows suddenly smashed open and a horde of different colored sahagins jumped in.

"Don't move!" said the sky blue one. "We've got you all surrounded!"

"CID! Let's do it!" Yang cried out.

"Gotcha!" Cid replied.

"Palom!" Porom called.

"Let's do it Porom!" Palom answered.

"Well, what a greeting. I'm the Sky Sahagin," the light blue one introduced

"I'm the infamous Fire Sahagin." a red chirped in.

"Enough introductions, FIGHT!" the Sky Sahagin cried.

"2x power! ATTACK!" Yang led the assault. He killed a few white sahagins, and some green ones as well.

Cid was whacking away with his hammers and tools. "Dammit! It's too much to handle!" "Twin attack! Comet!" Both Palom and Porom chanted.



"Edge, why were you fighting with a sahagin?" Cecil questioned.

"In Eblan, I had heard a rumor about the sahagin mafia going to crash Baron's part,." Edge explained. "I tried to stop it without revealing it to you guys...plus it was good training!" Edge laughed.

Cecil sighed. He couldn't understand Edge.

"HELP US!!!" a distant voice cried.

"Rosa? Rosa, is that you?" Cecil called.

"Cecil?" She ran up to him. "Cecil, some creatures have ambushed Baron castle!"

"What?!?!" Cecil was shocked. "Looks like you were right Edge."

"Edge, you're hurt!" Rosa noticed. "Powers of light give me the powers to heal all wounds!!"

"Ah, I feel better than I was before! Thanks, you're a lifesaver!"

"Come on! We've got to stop the creatures!" Cecil reminded them.

"Powers of darkness, grant me thy energy! Fire 3!" Palom chanted. He burned a couple of the ice shagins, but there were a least 5,000 sahagins. "Power of light, grant me thy energy! Cure 2!" Porom chanted.

"We can't hold them!" Yang cried out.

"Did I miss something?" a voice called from high above. Kain came crashing down,

landing on a couple dozen sahagins. "Invite too many people?" He slashed a few to his right and jumped again.

'... I'm... sick...' Rydia thought to herself as she coughed.

"Hey, don't die now! I'm not done torturing you!" the Psychic Sahagin taunted.

"You're cruel..." Rydia commented.

The sahagin cackled maniacally and attacked her viciously, tearing her skin with every blow. Rydia screamed out in pain.

"What's wrong, you hurt?" the sahagin asked sarcastically.

'Edge, where are you...? I need you...' Rydia thought sadly. She chanted with a very soft voice, "Powers of darkness, give me the power to burn! Fire 3!" The fireball was sent hurling towards the sahagin, hitting it with force. The creature gathered energy and threw the magic attack into the wall.

"You... still want to try and kill me?!?!" The sahagin was somewhat injured, and its anger rose. "The poison with soon kill you, so why try?!"

'It's a long shot but I'll have to try...' Rydia thought. "Powers of light...ummm... heal my wounds...uh, Esuna?" Nothing happened.

"What's that?" Edge quieted Rosa and Cecil. "It's Rydia!"

"What? I don't hear anything..." Rosa replied.

"He's a ninja... he can do stuff like that," Cecil reminded her.

Edge ran. He ran as fast as he could. 'What could Rydia be doing?!?!' he thought. He quickly arrived at the scene, his eyes travelled to Rydia, who was lying on the floor, motionless. "Rydia!!" Edge cried. He ran over to her still figure.

"It was too bad my poison got to her!" the Psychic Sahagin laughed. "I would of tore her up some more!"

"Why the hell would you do something like that?!?!"

"Because I'm a sahagin," the creature answered.

"I DON'T CARE!!!" Edge whipped around furiously. "I'll kill you for doing this!!" "You believe you can slay me?"

Edge drew one Kotetsu, and tried a slash. The sahagin dodged, but Edge swiftly kicked it in it's ribs. He drew his second Kotetsu, and used a double slash. The sahagin shot a poison attack at Edge, hitting and poisoning him.

"You shall suffer the same fate as the girl!" The sahagin screeched.

"Edge! Are you all right?" Cecil came running.

Rosa gasped. "Edge, your poisoned! Powers of light, heal all wounds-- Esuna!" Rosa chanted. Edge was cured of his poison.

The sahagin came running at Edge, and used his claws to attack. Edge tried to defend, but its claws shattered his sword, and stabbed him.

"Ugh..."

"Ready, Edge?" Cecil called.

"Yeah..." Edge replied.

"X-ATTACK!!!" Both Cecil and Edge ran up to the sahagin, jumped, and sliced it into four pieces. The Psychic sahagin had finally been slain. Edge slowly walked over to Rydia, his head down. "Rydia... why'd you die on me? Why? WHY??!!'



"Kain, look out!" Porom warned the dragoon.

"Huh?" Kain turned around, quickly slashing the Fire Sahagin into dust.

"My god! Dude, you're cool!" Palom remarked.

"Yeah... whatever..." Kain replied.

Yang kicked the last one out.

"Umm... Ladies and gentlman, we seem to have had an.. interference.. if you'll all go back to your rooms, we'll get this cleaned up..." The chancellor announced.
