Chapter Three: IN Which Dakota Freaks Out.
"Where the fuck is I?" Nicole demanded. Dakota, who lay next to her, sighed.
"How should I know?" he retorted. They seemed to be on the deck of some kind of ship. Dakota got up and leaned over the railing. It was sunny out, and they seemed to be in a sparkly forested stretch of land. A sparkling body of water glistened off in the distance.
"Why does this seem painfully familiar?" Dakota wondered.
"Déjà vu? I thought that was Aja's thing though…" Nicole mused.
"Hey! Who are you?" an annoying voice demanded. A red haired guy wearing a weird shirt thing that needlessly exposed his six pack came out, looking miffed. Dakota stared at him, and suddenly realized why this all looked so familiar.
"Oh shit… it's Tales of the Abyss," he exclaimed.
"The hell?" the red head demanded.
"Dakota… are you okay? You look sorta…"
"Pale? Freaked out? Panic stricken?" Dakota supplied.
"…Yeah," Nicole nodded. "What happened?"
"I don't know," Dakota frowned, turning to the red head. "Do you know what happened?"
"How would I know?" he replied snottily.
"Asshole," Nicole declared. "I remember being in a little capsule…"
"Yeah, Aja, Maddie and Chloe were in there too," Dakota nodded.
"So we should ditch the annoying man-whore and find the others," Nicole nodded.
"I'm not an annoying man-whore!" the red headed guy shouted. "I'm Luke von Fabre! "
"Whatever," Dakota dismissed Luke. He fails anyway. Nicole pulled Dakota aside.
"So… you know about this world we're in?" she whispered.
"Yeah. It's from a video game," Dakota nodded.
"Okay, so who's the one person here I shouldn't piss off?" Nicole hissed urgently.
"Well-"
"Jade! Guy! There you are, these weird people showed up!" Luke exclaimed as Jade, Guy, Aja and Sophie came onto the deck.
"Yeah… him," Dakota nodded.
"Right."
"She called me an annoying man-whore!" Luke whined. Jade chuckled slightly, as did Aja.
"Sounds like Nikky to me," Aja grinned. Sophie giggled. Dakota simply stared at Jade and Guy with an odd mix of terror and curiosity. Jade stared back at Dakota with a cool, calculating glance.
"Weel…"
"And who might you two be?" Jade interrupted.
"Dakota," Dakota replied. "She's Nicole,"
"We should find the others," Nicole nodded.
"There's more?" Guy asked.
"Great," Luke muttered. "And why is that brat here?"
"Hey! Don't be mean to Sophie! She's a weapon of mass destruction!" Aja exclaimed.
"Destroyer of worlds," Dakota nodded.
"That's what he said" Nikki muttered. "… and Devourer of Cute Kittehs!"
"…" Luke burst out laughing after a moment. "That thing? Meiu's scarier than that!" he sneered.
A tall brunette woman came out, with Maddie following shyly.
"Ah Tear, you found another-"
"Sophie!" Maddie exclaimed, cutting Jade off and rushing over to hug the toddler.
"Mani!" Sophie exclaimed, hugging back.
"Well, it seems we found the kid's mother-"
Maddie's head snapped up and fixed Guy with an intense glare.
"Sister. NOT her mother," she said in a cold voice. Guy jumped back.
"Hehe… r-r-ight… Mo- I mean sister! Sister!" Guy stammered. Maddie stood up and sighed.
"So… what exactly is going on?" she asked.
"We'll explain when we get Chloe," Aja replied. "It's getting tedious re-explaining everything!"
"Aah," Maddie nodded.
Around this time there was an explosion could be heard and smoke poured out of a room, as well as Chloe who happened to be on fire.
"HI~" she announced.
"Hi Chloe!" Aja replied.
"…You're on fire," Dakota remarked calmly.
"…So I am," Chloe agreed, equally as calmly.
"Well that's… interesting," Jade remarked, pushing up his glasses. Chloe's fires went out.
"How is that possible?" Guy asked.
"Well, Chloe's always been good with fire," Aja remarked.
"IS this everyone?" Jade asked professionally.
"Yep," Dakota nodded.
"Very well. Follow me…"
