Life on SPIRA?
Disclaimer: I don't own life on mars or final fantasy
I made it to chapter 6. I intend to write 10 so I'm over half way hope you are enjoying it. I have ideas about what to write but little advice from reviews would help. I'm driving blind help would be useful even though it's not mandatory. Come on its my first story. So I'm sparing no dignity on shameless begging.
Re-written October 11th 2008
Recommended music to listen to: In the house in a heartbeat by John Murphy if possible
Chapter 6: spilling it
I had escaped to the deck witch gave me room to think every thing is weird and makes no sense and there is no answers. As if it was hard enough people are looking to me for answers. What's happening how is it happening. Am I mad or is this real. It could be both. Life here is very different to life on earth. And now I feel different as of this dress sphere. Why?
An unexpected voice came from behind me "I'm not worried" It was Paine's. I was so lost in my thought she had crept up on me.
"About what" I responded as she was walking off
"How you're here and everything else. You're here now that's the main problem" She called me the problem what did I do to upset her.
"What have I done?" I asked.
"You have barged in on our lives." She replied coldly.
"I didn't choose to." I tried to reassure her.
"What do you mean you signed up at Luca?" She told me the facts that she knew and turned to go inside thinking the conversation was over
"That's not what happened!" I had to tell her. I felt like she needed to know and I don't know why I wanted to maybe it because I felt different now. I felt more confident since putting on the dress sphere.
"I'm not worried." Paine repeated herself and walked away.
I turned back to my thoughts, and facing the breeze blowing past me. I like breezes they calm me down and help me think. But it still wouldn't help me. I still felt like I was buzzing with electricity and didn't know what it was. Well I thought it was the dress sphere but I didn't know why what I wear would affect me like this.
Then a bird came over to the ship and landed in front of me. It seamed friendly enough. "Well hello there little" I stopped talking when it swiped a claw at me which I dodged by a hair. I pulled the gun off my back. Pointed the gun griped the handle and rested my finger on the trigger. I tightly closed my eyes looked away and thought to myself. But I don't want to kill this cute little bird. Bang! What I hadn't fired the gun. I look to the bird and watch pireflys come out of it as it diapered. It was so upsetting. I sat on the deck and thought this through. I hadn't shot it. I look to the deck door and see Yuna holding her modified desert eagles or so I think they could be called anything in Spira.
"Why did you do that?" I asked her
"The fiend wanted to kill you." she responded
"How do you know that?" I asked her again
"You really aren't from round here are you?" She Questioned but she had a slight confidence in what she was asking. Then she continued. "Your just like when Tidus came from 1000 years ago he didn't fit in but he adapted to life. You are adapting to. You already have a dress sphere" she has a voice witch gives you confidence no wonder she is so popular in Spira she sat next to me on the deck. "What's really troubling you?" Yuna asked me.
"Since I activated this dress sphere I felt this electric like felling. Can you explain it to me?" I asked her and she thought for a bit
"Um. Oh that feeling you really are not from here. You never had magical powers before?" she asked me like it's an every day thing.
"Magic? Is that what it is?" I replied clearly thinking magic is child stuff. It can't be real. Can it?
"It's your mp carried in the dress sphere you felt the lightning feeling. If you concentrate you can feel the water fire and ice to. These are the stronger ones in Spira. After time you stop noticing it. But be careful with those dress spheres they can mess with your head." She warned me and I remembered what happened to her with the dream.
"Like when you dreamed about you and Tidus and you reacting Lennes death." Oh crap I told her something only she should know.
"Ok who are you?" she asked me sounding very surprised, worried and even scared. She moved her hand over her gun.
"Well I should tell you my name is Jack but I have never been to Luca. I only just arrived in Spira yesterday. I lived my life with no magic and it was so far away this is to me a different universe. I lived on a planet called earth. I fell down some stairs landing head first and woke up on the deck of the Celsius unhurt. Turned and looked at you Rikku and Paine. Where I come from in an away there is a Spira. But its fictional you Rikku and Paine are in a video game. You play it controlling your moves. And fighting battles finding spheres until you fight Vegnagun. You were also in another game witch follow Tiduses story and how he helped you fell in love and disappeared after you told him you love him. I'm sorry. But this is impossible. You are fiction. I don't know how I got here and how I will get home." Yuna was crying as I told her all this it had to be hard to take in.
She responded. "Is this fiction." then she hit me in the face but she carried on talking. "It makes sense though but raises a million questions. Maybe Spira was created on earth but it lives on here. Your story just like Tiduses but it was different in so many ways." She got up and walked off clearly needing time for what I said to sink in. "Don't tell Rikku." That's the last thing she said before she shut the door.
She was right it was like Tiduses story. I come here some how from too far to imagine and I don't fit in but Tidus adapted to his surroundings and learned to love them. I don't know if it will happen to me and I hope not I want to get out of here as soon as possible. I'm trapped even on an entire planet. I went back to thinking.
Any way what was I going to tell Rikku? I'm sure I shouldn't tell her every thing she might not understand that she is fiction. It even sounds cruel thinking about it lets say she was thought up and then brought to life. On that thought I was mown down by the one in question namely Rikku.
She had hurled me to the floor. She pined me there by sitting on me and holding her daggers to me. "Tell me what you know!" she was yelling and had really worked herself up.
"Yuna told me not to tell you." I was helpless under her only saying what I thought best.
Her daggers got a little closer. "You told Yuna!" By the sound of her voice she was about to explode.
"I was doing what I thought was best." I spoke this as if it would calm her down or make her understand.
Her daggers touched my neck and I felt how sharp they were and how close they were to actually cutting in. Then Rikku was ripped off of me by a black figure it could only be one person.
Paine now had Rikku on the floor "Oui tuh'd fyhd du gemm res. Oui yna zicd ujan nayldehk oui ryja piemd ib du silr nyka uh drec eccia. Ouin mylg uv cmaab lyh'd uv rambat. ruhacdmo tu oui fyhd du gemm res? Brother fuimt gelg oui uvv creb." Paine was talking in al bhed to Rikku. I can't believe she had backed my side in a Fight. Well it doesn't help is the lack of subtitles like I would have had in my game as Yuna had learnt al bhed there. ("You don't want to kill him. You are just over reacting you have built up to much rage on this issue. Your lack of sleep can't of helped. Honestly do you want to kill him? Brother would kick you off ship.")
Then Rikku spoke and she was starting to cry "Pid es cu syt yd res" ("But I'm so mad at him")
Then a voice came from some where else Yuna had come back to save me. Rikku e lyh'd damm oui dra dnidr ed fuimt pnayg oui cfaad cbened yht syga oui gemm res ymm dra cysa. Pid ra rych'd tuha yhodrehk fnuhk. E'mm zicd cyo ra ghufc ic paddan dryh fa sekrd ghuf aylr udran. Huf lyh oui aqbmyeh frydc rybbahehk yht fro fa haat du dymg eh al bhed. Yuna had learnt al bhed this must have been the final fantasy X-2 I had saved. ("Rikku I can't tell you the truth it would break you sweet spirit and make you kill him all the same. But he hasn't done anything wrong. I'll just say he knows us better than we might know each other. Now can you explain what's happening and why we need to talk in al bhed". (Yuna emphasises "hasn't done anything wrong."))
Paine spoke again "Its all Rikku understands when she's mad, upset or very over excited" What vital part of the conversation had I missed.
"It's ok Paine. Let her go now. Yuna released Rikku what is she thinking what had she said oh god now Rikku's going to kill me. I ducked under my arms as Rikku approached.
Rikku spoke "cunno" I didn't know if it was a death chant or something until I noticed she was giving me her hand to pick me up. "It means sorry. I way over reacted I never threatened someone with my daggers before." She was apologising. The tear marks on her face must mean she realised what she was doing.
"Thank you" I accepted her apology and she helped me up.
Rikku started conversation on a cheerier tone "I guess that can be your first mission learn al bhed."
I replied with a slight smile "Maybe." We walked back inside together without yelling at each other. It was a nice change.
There we go chapter 6 I hope you enjoyed it and it gets you thinking about reviews.
Thank you for reading.
