The Thirteen Days
"But I let you die…"
Act II: The Dreamer of Time
Theme song: Good Enough by Evanescence
The world around her was white the warmth of love filled her heart to the very core. The World of Pure White people called it a place where the deceased can lay to rest, but when the spirit of a person was to be brought back into the world of the living the lifestream bursts from the earth releasing the reborn. Many miles from Edge, within the ruins of the once proud mako city of Midgar there was a rundown church where the flower girl once resided. Her death brought Holy and peace across the planet, but within the walls of the church there lying in the fresh lifestream water was a naked girl unconscious her hair covered her face. The girl's hair was shining in the water her hair was brown that had black at the ends of it as well as her bangs which had blond with black ends to. A sound of a motorcycle could be heard coming from outside of the church's doors as the motor turned off, the sounds of foots steps were heard the church, until the young man came to a halt finding the unconscious girl he ran up to her and held her in his arms. The young girl began to stir in the man's arms as he was looking at her come to.
"Hey…you okay?" the young man said as the young woman opened her eyes to him. The girl opened her eyes and saw his blue eyes stare down at her as her cool blue ones looked back, until she realized that she had no clothes on. The girl screamed and backed out of the blond spiky haired man's arms, "Ryan? Is it you?" the girl gently put her hand on Zak's cheek as he flinched from the girl's touch. Zakery looked into her eyes a gritted his teeth together in frustration. The girl soon opened her eyes fully and noticed that Zak wasn't Ryan. She flinched out of Zak's arms and hid behind one of the church's pews. Zak got up a slowly walked to the girl as he gently kneeled down and looked at her. The girl looked at him and at his spiky blond hair she noticed that his eyes were blue with the perfect blend of green to. Zak looked down at the floor then back up at the girl, until he saw a spirit behind her. A young man around 19 or 20 looked at him. The young man had red hair which tied into a low ponytail and had green eyes. E wore black and stared at Zak saw her behind the spirit smiling.
"Aerith…?" Zak looked at her and back at the girl who was bundled up with fear. Zak looked back at where the spirits were and they were gone. Zak got closer to the girl and put the cloth around her naked body and gently put her to her feet.
The girl looked at Zak as he led her out of the church and into the sun where she put her hand in front of her eyes since the light of the sun's rays were so blinding. Zak heard her voice for the first time as she stopped in the middle of the road that was leading to his bike, "Hikari…" Zak looked at her and remained silent. Hikari turned around toward him as she held the cloth over her body. Zak looked down as he turned his head blushing. Hikari looked at him and smiled as he folded his arm putting on his black goggles as he turned on his bike. Zak felt her arms hug him from behind as he felt the beating of her heart he put a hand on her hands as she was holding him from behind.
"Zak…you can call me Zak," Zakery looked at Hikari as he turned around to look at her. Hikari nodded and smiled as he turn the engine on, "Hold on okay. It's going to get bumpy." Hikari held on as Zak felt her tighten his grip on him as both left to Edge.
September 13th, 2010 - Neo Damino City Outskirts –
Meku arrived at Neo Damino City as she looked up upon the city's lights where she saw the Kaiba Dome where the duel for Turbo Dueling was being held. Meku then turned her motorcycle back on, but then she saw a great red light in the shape of a great dragon arise from the Dome. She then felt a sharp pain coming from her arm as felt the burning of the pain engulf her entire arm. Meku backed up as her sight blurred into darkness as she fell unconscious on to the cold hard cement. Meku woke up a couple of hours later in a slum she got up and found that her weapons, bike, materia, and the rest of her stuff were gone. Meku climbed up upon a cliff and looked upon Neo Damino which was more far away then when she first saw it. Meku knelt down as she grabbed a rock from the ground and threw it directly at the person who was behind her. The young man dodged the attack as he looked up instantly at her his blue eyes stared into to her raging magenta ones. Meku smirked as she picked up a metal pipe that was lying on the floor. The young the man got up and backed up slowly as she came closer to him batting the pipe against the palm of her hand.
Meku stared at him and then swung the metal pipe at his legs he fell directly on the ground as his head hit the sharp rocks on the floor. Blood splattered on her face as she beat him senselessly to the ground. Meku's eyes glowed crimson-red filled with malice Meku threw the pipe aside and kicked the man in the stomach. The young man cried in pain as he grabbed his stomach. Blood and tears filled his cheeks then his face as his signer brand began to glowed red as he was left there to bleed to death. Meku was long gone and all he saw before she left was the crimson-red eyes that stared down at him as he lost consciousness.
September 14th, 2010 –Midgar, Edge the 7th Heaven Bar 12:05 am-
Zak arrived at the 7th Heaven Bar with Hikari late at night Zak unlocked the bar and lead Hikari to one of the rooms, "Here you can stay in this room for the night until we've figured out where you've come from." Zak said scratching his head. Hikari nodded as she entered the room she looked at all of the flowers that were in the room. The room was pure white as well as the furnishings that were within it. Zak opened the closet and gave Hikari some clothes to wear. She looked at the shirt that Zak had given her the shirt was green and the skirt was blue with a plead print that had black lace on the bottom of it. Hikari looked at Zak until he finally got the hint that she wanted him to leave the room for her to change. Zak left and once Hikari was finished changing she sat on the bed a picture of the whole AVALANCHE gang hung on the wall over the bed. Also there was a picture of a girl wearing a red jacket with a pink dress underneath, she had brown boots on and tied her light brown hair into a long braid that was being held by a pink bow. Her eyes were green and she held a warm smile as she hugged Zak in the picture. Hikari was looking through the dresser doors and through her search she found cards.
The cards began glowing as she looked through them there were monsters she never seen before. There were 63 of them all dragons of different origins and elements one of the dragon cards caught Hikari's attention it was called 'Vanir the Time of Sovereign'. Hikari put the cards down as Zak came in the room. Zak saw her with the cards as she put them down on the desk, "There called God Dragons those cards belong to my friends all of friends each one has their own card with their own element, but you don't have to worry about those…" Zak put them down and looked at Hikari.
Hikari looked at Zak and then at the picture with Zak and Aerith, "Zak who is that girl?" Zak then looked at Hikari with a frown and then down at the ground. Hikari looked at Zak with a concerned frown, "Zak did something happen to her?"
"Yeah…and I'm to blame if it wasn't for me…she might be still alive." Hikari looked at Zak and put her hand on his shoulder, "Please Zak tell me what happened to her I might understand if you tell me! So please…tell me!" Zak looked up at her then nodded, "Okay it happened 2 years ago when meteor was falling from the stars…The Lifestream. That's what we call the river of life that circles our planet, giving life to the world and everything in it. The Shinra Electric Power Company discovered a way to use the Lifestream as an energy source. Because of Shinra's energy we were all able to live very comfortable lives. But wasn't that taking away from the planet's life? A lot of people thought so. Shinra used their power to try and stop anybody who got in their way. Shinra had a special group of warriors called "SOLDIER". And all of the SOLDIERs had Jenova cells put inside them. Jenova was a calamity that fell from the sky a long, long time ago and tried to destroy the planet. Anyway, there was one SOLDIER named Sephiroth who was better than the rest. But when he found out about the terrible experiments that made him, he began to hate Shinra. And then, over time, he began to hate everything. Shinra and the people against them. Sephiroth who hated the planet so much wanted to make it go away. And the people who tried to stop him. There were a lot of battles. For every battle there was more sadness Someone I loved went back to the Lifestream, too. And…then it came the chosen day. In the end, the planet itself had to make the battles stop for good. The planet used the lifestream as a weapon, and when it burst out of the earth, all of the fighting, all the greed and the sadness-everything was washed away.
'Sadness was the price to see it end.'
It's been two years since that it happened..." Hikari looked at Zak and looked down.
"I'm sorry…" Hikari said with a soft voice.
"Don't be…it's not your burden to bare anyway," Zak got up and left to his room leaving Hikari alone to think of her own love that she lost to, "Ryan why is it me that was brought back what is my purpose here…please tell me…" Hikari fell onto the bed crying as Zak heard her and left silently to his room.
