Chapter Four: A new reality, short lived?
"Hmmm, where am I?"….. "How did I get here?"…… "Who are you?"…… "Mikoto, is that you?"….. "What do you mean?"…... "GARLAND?!"
I suddenly awoke, a voice, Garland's voice was echoing inside my mind. However as I slowly came too, becoming more conscious, it faded away.
The words were a blur, I'm sure I was told something important about……about? It was no use, try as I might I just couldn't remember.
I was now fully conscious, although I still had my eyes closed trying to remember what I had been told, but the memory just wouldn't come. Suddenly I feel a presence…
"Hello there Mr….s? Kuja" a females voice said nervously. 'Mrs? MRS?' I though furiously, I was about to make the heavens them self shake with my Thunderja spell, however going undercover into this strange place I landed in was just a temptation I couldn't resist, Muw-Hahahah.
Everywhere I looked was a mix of black and dark purple paint moving in a sphere shape all around me, with one archway of light appearing behind this strange, pale, blue skinned female.
"Yes, though its Ms Kuja actually, I'm not and never have been in a relationship." I said it in my normal voice, it had always been a voice that was hard to define to a specific gender anyway. This could be fun, I had never had any desire to pretend to be female, but this opportunity to gather information while appearing innocent was to good to miss.
"Well neither have the other 'inmates', being evil as you all are obviously doesn't give time for relationships." she came across as an emotionless person, wanting get out of my company as fast as possible. But hey, blue weren't my colour anyway.
By now that dreadful act of my death was just a faint memory in the back of my mind, the more pressing concern was what was behind the portal of light, with that in mind I asked "So, what now? Where dose that archway go?" I was slightly fearful in the uncertainly of my future, but was ready to defend myself should the need arise.
The female looked totally blank, not even a slight change in expression, she reminded me of a black mage, soulless. She responded…..
"This gateway will take you to where your soul will spend eternity."
"There will be other people there, people like you. So you wont be alone."
"All your powers will work there, but none of you can escape."
"Your basically be in the Olympus coliseum from Kingdom Hearts 1."
"There are magically protected toilets for everyone."
"There is a bar that has food and drinks, though nothing fancy."
"Finally, enjoy your afterlife, and if you don't know what the coliseum is, your find out soon enough."
Hmmm…I didn't think much of the cold way she said any of it, but it was a coldness I used on people in the past. As they say imitation is greatest form of flattery, Hehehehehe. "So, how about you tell me about my new…….'friends'." I decided it best to find out as much as possible before going in, also wondering how far I would have to take my cover once inside.
She coldly responded "Your find out yourself Ms. Kuja." Naturally I was pissed of at not being given the information I desired, but even more so at being called 'Ms' of course I needed to make sure that I let it go, both now and in future if my plan was to be successful. Though just cause these morons where incapable of determining I was male, I wondered why I had to suffer.
I decided to play around with her and test this cover on her, I sighed since this really wasn't my kind of thing, but compared to Garlands rule, this would be easy……..wouldn't it?
"Come on girl to….girl, who's beyond there, any info could help y'know?" although I was slightly uncomfortable doing this, it was surprisingly easy, after all I was TOTALLY attractive, wore revealing clothing and was good at manipulating people, how could I possibly fail?
The expression on the girls face did not change one little bit, she continued to stare at me with unblinking eyes, but then she clicked her fingers and said "Bye now" as she said it the light from the portal glowed, in the flash of the light she was gone.
The portal began pulling me in, however there was nothing to cling to, I suddenly felt like I was travelling at light speed over millions of miles for a few seconds, until I suddenly hit a floor. The light had faded away only to reveal a sandy floor, I looked up to find a large half open double door with two golden statues either side of it.
I slowly got up looking around expecting to find signs of life, figuratively speaking of course, anyone here would be dead after all. The place seemed deserted, upon slowly completing my 360degree spin I concluded who ever was here would probably be past these doors.
Passing through the doors lead me to an arena in a small flash of light, there the people where ….1,2,3,4,5,6,7.….8 other people, although 5 of them was each in separate slots in the wall with a sign saying 'Do not fucking disturb, or you will face my unspeakable wrath'. The person in the 5th slot had an extra sign saying 'Number IV is gay' with an added smiley face under it.
The other three people was sitting…..or rather relaxingly lying next to the arena in sun beds with an umbrella next to them.
I must admit I was confused, here I was in my little hell and the sight of these people gave me in image of a smiley sun in the sky and flowers everywhere in my head, the only thing missing was the beach.
Putting my confusion aside, I strolled over to them, in my own sweet time as usual. I finally reached the foot of there beds, one was a woman with weird paint on here face, she would probably scare gargoyles. The second was a short-ish….man, kinda reminded me of 'slappy' who was a clown doll I had in my childhood. The third was….me? He looks like me, only dressed in black….could he be…..
The black caped man suddenly sprang up into a sitting position, he looked at me blankly for a second then said "SWORDY!! …..SWO?….DY? Have you Sen my swo…?" he suddenly collapsed back into a sleeping position.
I was speechless, curious and something else all at the same time, though I didn't know what. The other two didn't respond at all to the noise.
I put my hand on my head "Riiiiight, I had to come straight into nutters-ville" I mumbled to myself.
The black caped man got back up, seeming more coherent. He walked over to me and said "What an awful dress sense, Hojo screwed up another clone?" he said mildly amused. While I was kinda annoyed at him, I could see the resemblance.
"I'm nobodies clone you lunk head, the names Kuja." he stared at me for awhile raising an eyebrow before speaking "Ok, ok, relax. My names Sephiroth" he said it in a very proud way with both his hands above his head, his index and middle fingers shaped like a 'V'.
"Moron" I mumbled. "You do realise your dead don't you?" I said it in a cheery way, even though it reminded me I was too. He blushed and put his hands by his side "Sure I know, 'The Great Sephiroth' is not stupid" he said smugly.
Suddenly Sephiroth's face went serious and he looked me in the eye and said "You want to arm wrestle?" I stared at him blankly, do I want to arm wrestle? Why the hell would anyone want to? "No thanks, ill pass." I said casually to him, walking past him.
I stopped after a few steps to look back at him, wondering if I should ask him something on my mind. Before I could ask he rushed up to me and suddenly materialised a sword out of nowhere, with an evil glare appearing in his eye. "Then how about a figh….." before he could finished his sentence, he was interrupted by the clown "Whop-Whop-Whop, a new guest! Kekekekeke, wanna have some fun, babe?"
His high pitched voice sent shivers down my spine, but before I could even think of appropriate response, my temper over came me. I fired a massive lightning bolt at him while screaming "GET AWAY FROM ME FREAK!!" Sephiroth and the mysterious woman put there hands above there eyes watching as the clown flew backwards crashing into the wall.
Before I knew it, I realised I had blown any chance of appearing as a non-combatant. However Sephiroth put his hand on my shoulder and said "Nice shot, we all tend to wack Kefka into that wall as, well, he can be quite annoying at times."
I looked up at the slightly taller man realising he couldn't be that bad after all, I asked him "so what are we supposed to do for fun around here." the place obviously wasn't built for fun, but I could feel myself get bored with every second passing. How I would kill for a chance to ride my silver dragon above the clouds again.
However the mysterious woman answered, not Sephiroth, "Well the only thing you can do is fight in the arena, take a nap or drink alcoholic beverages." she had a smooth voice and spoke calmly.
She continued after a short pause "or when it becomes to much for you, you can rest in your pod like them five people there. Rest, for eternity."
I wasn't sure if this was worse or better then the hell I had expected, sure there was no torturing or anything, but someone like me could go mad with nothing to do.
"-Sigh- seems sephy's loosing it again" the woman said. I turned around wondering what she meant, upon turning I saw Sephiroth curled up on the floor holding his sword to his face cuddling it. It was the most bizarre thing I had ever seen, even more unusual was the fact the blade seemed so sharp, yet made not even one scratch on him.
He suddenly got up and started running around karate chopping thin air with his sword like a buzz light year doll. He ominously looked around till his eyes looked at me, before he could do a thing I noticed a smirk on his face appear, I knew that smirk and if I was right I knew what he planned to do next.
I stared at him silently, after a few short moments he started pacing towards me, "-Gulp- Uh-oh" I said as I began ran around the arena, Sephiroth then began thrusting his sword at me, just out of range.
"EXTERMINATE!! EXTERMINATE!!" Sephiroth began saying in a weird robotic sounding voice, still swinging his sword in a karate chopping motion. The woman shouted in my direction "Oh yeah, we used to have a T.V. before Sephiroth began emulating things from it, then they took it away. Don't take it personally."
My legs started to burn since I was never forced to run this much before, getting tired I started launching low powered thunderbolts. They all missed as I wasn't used to casting while running, the fact Sephiroth was quite nimble didn't help either.

MEANWHILE On Gaia…..
At the base of the Lifa tree the roots begin to crumble and die, it seems as though all the roots are becoming petrified and hollow with the magic of the tree dimming. There is a low pitched moan that sounds like it is coming from every direction.
It is a kind of moan that would send shivers down your spin and give you goose bumps as you realise your alone, alone in the darkness. It could be the wind or could just be the thousands of souls passing through the tree back to Gaia.
Spooky, eh?
With the magic of the tree fading, the life of the tree slowly giving way under the pressure of all them souls and the anti-magic barrier the tree put up diminishing, what dose this mean?
For the tree?
For Gaia?
For the universe?
For the crystal?
Could this be the beginning of a cataclysmic event? Will our 'hero' Zidane be forced into action again?
Do the surviving Genomes of Terra know something we don't? What about the remaining black mages?
So many questions, will they ever get answered? Don't ask me I'm just the narrating this 'Meanwhile' section.
END.

I was just about to give up and turn to fight Sephiroth, but I sensed some sort of magic around the sword wielding madman and it wasn't his. It was then I noticed the clown faced freak, Kefka. He was laughing his head of moving his glowing finger around in a circler motion.
I concluded he was using mind control, even from the other side of the arena I could now hear that demented lunatic laughing "Ke-ke-ke-ke--HAAA-Ha-Ha--Ha--HOOOOOOO-Hahaha." he was laughing while hovering above the floor, hovering on his back like he was swimming.
It soon became obvious this guy chasing me was going to outpace me, eventually catching up to me.
Since I didn't care much for being impaled by Sephiroth's 6ft sword I decided to show Kefka what happens to people when they anger me. "Thunderja!" I shouted, however nothing appeared to happen, I knew why though "uh-oh, reflect" I mumbled before getting struck by my own attack.
Kefka, still having the time of his afterlife was now hovering upside down, still cackling away and said "Heh heh, your charged up like battery, whop-whop-whop."
Luckily I wasn't some dumb low I.Q Mage, I always wore thunder absorbing equipment since that was my primary attack spell, using the power from the absorbed attack I redirected the thunderbolt to a metal pole right next to the clown.
In that instance Sephiroth stood still, finally giving up his pursuit. My legs were like jelly now and my breathing was rapid and deep. Sephiroth however just stood up hardly fatigued at all, he calmly walked over to me and asked "What just happened and why…." he suddenly stopped as I pointed at Kefka.
Kefka was lying on the floor holding his groin making groaning noises, for a second I though I heard someone say "Ha Ha!!" Kefka slowly got back up after a few minutes, I was about to hit him again, but Sephiroth blocked my way saying "nice to see you can handle yourself, but allow me to deal with this, I have a score to settle."
I would of protested, but was already to tired. Kefka started to stutter "b-b-but, d-d-don't, oh my" Sephiroth let out a smile, "Speed blitz" he said, as he said it he vanished from sight, instantly Kefka went flying over the arena again straight into the wall. Sephiroth reappeared next to me, we both said "Ouch" at the same time. The black caped man then helped me up and asked "So, you wanna grab a beer?"
"I don't drink" I sighed yawning. Just then however four pillars of light came from out of the ground around me, I suddenly heard an angelic voice whisper in my ear saying "Auto-Life", now I remember, that's the second spell I cast back in Lifa tree. I suddenly began to fade away hearing one last sentence from the sword loving man.
"Lucky dog, I'll be waiting for you when you come back." he said cheerily, with that I suddenly woke up surrounded by darkness, which was momentarily welcomed from the blinding light that was in my eyes.
"Geez what a day, what next?" I suddenly collapsed from exhaustion, with my eye lids heavy all I could do now was dream.
'Is my hell over or has it just began?' was the last though I had before loosing consciousness.
