Chapter 2: Meeting
The boy woke up in the ally he had left. Only one thought went through his mind. What the hell!? He checked his surroundings and, seeing where he was, heaved a sigh of relief. Several questions plagued his mind as he continued down the alley away from the main street. What was that?, he thought. Was that real or just a dream? I wonder... At this he stopped and looked at his hands. He remembered the feel of the blades in his hands and the power they possessed. He remembered the thrill of fighting something from another world and the control he had over his abilities. Most of all he remembered the voice and how it sounded so familiar. 'You hold the greatest weapons of all' huh? At this thought he stretched his hands out from his sides and tried to summon the blades again. He heard a clang of metal and looked to his hands to find the keyblades resting firmly in them. Out of utter shock he dropped them causing them to disappear in a flash of light and darkness. Okay, it defiantly wasn't a dream, he thought as he continued his trek down the alley way.
As he continued to walk he saw a faint light at the end of the ally way and went through an opening to find himself in a debris filled building. The were large pieces of rock that had fallen from the ceiling and columns were spread around the area. As he looked around he saw the that walls were still standing in all the destruction as well as a few pillars. He also found an exit and was about to leave when he heard someone call out to him.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" commanded a voice.
He turned around and summoned the keyblades, expecting to fight a few gunman, but instead he was faced with fighting not only them but Soldier operatives as well. He got over his shock quickly and closed his eyes. When they opened they revealed a glowing sky blue. The wind picked up around him causing him to float. The men saw this and opened fire, but he was too quick and glided through the air, effortlessly evading the rain of bullets.
He then got close to one of the gunman and threw the Aubade at him. The blade cut through both sword and man before returning to his owners hand who was now battling a Soldier operative. While they clashed blades another Soldier tried to sneak up on him only to be cut in half by a blade made of the wind. The boy pushed the man he was fighting back and cut him down with a diagonal swipe.
He looked up just in time to block the downward swipe of another operative. He swiped with Omega weapon just to have it blocked Seeing his chance as his blade locked with that of the Soldier he side swiped with Aubade downing the man. He looked over to find more gunmen then before and so backed behind a pillar, knowing he wouldn't be able to evade all of the bullets. He looked at his surroundings and found an opening to a tunnel that was free from debris He took a quick glance at the gunmen to find the armed with rocket launchers. Cursing he made a break for the opening as the fired at the pillar he hid behind moments before. The explosion gave him enough time to slip into the tunnel and blast the wall to block the entrance and cover his escape. He was safe, for now.
Not knowing What to do next he decided to walk down the tunnel to see where it leads. After dismissing the keyblades he began his exploration of the tunnels knowing that he couldn't stay lest he get caught. He didn't find much on the exploration, just sewer water, maybe a rat here and there but nothing interesting, so he quit his exploration and decided to find a way out.
He had been walking for hours now still searching for an exit unsure of what he would find when he reached it. It was then that he found a light at the end of the tunnel but the dim light only lasted for a second before bursting with life as if by flames. As he got to the end of the tunnel he saw little creatures of darkness burst into flame and be cut down by another wielder. It was a boy no older than his age. He couldn't see his face for he had been wearing the same coat as the boy. As the figure destroyed another heartless one tried to sneak up on him only to be cut down by the Aubade. The boy looked to the figure only to see his eyes staring back with his hand engulfed in flame.
"Your like me." the boy stated. The figure said nothing and simply closed his palm to extinguish the flame. The boy was surprised to find another like himself, another who didn't belong in the world they were brought into. It was then the boy realized that the figure that was standing before him must have been the child that escaped from the orphanage a year before him. That was also when he noticed that it started raining.
"What's your name?"the boy asked. Lightning flashed across the sky and in that instant their figures changed. the boy looked older and had an Organization coat. He had blue jeans and a white cloth covered all but his face. His eyes were glowing and he had 2 pairs of angel wings, 2 white and 2 black. The other kid also looked older. He had 2 demon horns and flaming claws for hands and feet. He wore a Black sleeveless tee, black pants, black jordans and a black trench coat that covered him from head to toe. When the light faded they went back to their original forms.
As the light faded the figure replied "The name the human gave me is Jay, I know not of my true name."
They sat in silence, staring at each other while one examined the other. The rain stopped as if the clouds were listening to them. After a few minutes Jay broke the silence.
"Why are we, children of this world burdened by such a curse?" As he said this he ignited his hand in flame once again.
They fell into silence once again as the boy contemplated what Jay had asked. After what seemed like an eternity he replied, "I dunno, but there must be a reason." At this answer Jay's face held a look of disappointment and he closed his palm to extinguish the flame. The boy saw this and said.
"Why don't we look for the answer together?" At this Jay no longer looked disappointed but instead somewhat confused. The boy held his hand out to Jay.
"If anyone gets in our way, we'll take 'em all on." he said with a smirk. At this jay smiled and shook the boy's hand. When they were done shaking hands, Jay suddenly thought of something for he knew nothing of the boy before him and so asked, "What's your name?
"The name the humans gave me is Jake." Jake replied.
"And your true name?" Jay asked.
"My true name is..." but before he could finish he saw a creature of darkness creep up on Jay and summoned the Aubade. "LOOK OUT!" he shouted as he threw his keyblade at it, effectively obliterating it in a puff of black smoke. He noticed more creatures coming out of the ground and summoned the Omega Weapon. Jay noticed them as well and summoned his own blades. One was a keyblade with a handle similar to that of Bond of Flame. The shaft resembled Two Become One while the teeth and the key-chain resembled phoenix feathers. the entire blade was red. The other blade was a demon blade that was bigger than Jay himself. It was covered in red carvings and bathed in flames.
They were back to back and surrounded by Neoshadows. Lightning flashed across the sky and the first wave attacked. The Neoshadows launched themselves at the two only to be cut down before they could land a hit. Jake swiped left and right, making sure that each swing downed at least three creatures at once. He left nothing but clouds of darkness in his wake. Jay defeated all that stood in his way. If his blade missed he would blast them with fire.
The two of them defeated wave after wave of Neoshadows, never once showing fatigue or mercy. They were careful not to hit each other as they defeated droves upon droves of the the creatures. The battle seemed endless for when a Neoshadow was cut down it seemed that seven more would take it's place. The duo started to grow tired and when the creatures numbers dwindled even larger creatures known as Darksides and Darkfollowers appeared to finish the job.
The duo refused to give up, however, and once the Neoshadows were gone they moved on to the Darksides. There were two Darksides and three Darkfollowers and so the duo decided to each take on a Darkside. When Jake got close the creature it threw a punch at him. He dodge-rolled out of the way and jumped just as the large fist collided with the ground. He landed on the fist and ran for the head. The creature shook him off by throwing him in the air, then it launched a volley of dark spheres at him. As he fell through the air, he evaded the barrage and homed in on the creature. He landed on it's shoulder and, with one quick stroke, cut off it's head and jumped off as it collapsed to the ground. As he was falling he launched a ball of light at it for good measure and watched it fade into darkness. When he landed he moved on to his next target, a Darkfollower.
Jay wasted little effort to destroy the Darkside. When it attacked he rolled out of the way just as the fist collided with the ground. Then he cut the hand off and watched it fade into darkness. The creature screamed in agony and anguish but before it could strike Jay, deciding he had enough, launched a giant fireball to the point just above the heart-shaped hole in it's chest, obliterating it.
As it faded into darkness Jay moved on to the Darkfollower that was moving to attack him. His eyes started to glow red and before the creature could get close it was engulfed in a giant pillar of flame. It's screams of agony filled the area as it faded to darkness. Jay felt nothing but pity for the creature and before he knew his face was stained with blood, but it was not blood from an injury. The blood that stained his face were that of his tears, the tears of a demon. When the black mist from the creature faded he dismissed the flame and his eyes stopped glowing. He took cloth from his pocket and cleaned his face. When he was done he looked over to Jake to find him finishing his fight with the Darkfollower with a ball of light to the head. That only leaves one, he thought as he looked to the last Darkfollower. Before either of them could reach it, however, it was cut down.
As the creature faded they looked behind it to find someone neither had prepared for. He had long silver hair and an impossibly long sword. He was viewed as the best at Soldier and he was known as a hero in Midgar. To them, however, he is a executioner sent to either kill them or contain.
"Sephiroth!?" the duo exclaimed, shocked.
