ch. 10
vyse stepped out of the ship. "so this is Maramba...it's so..hot!"
"hey where'd the captain go?" Aika looked around.
"he's ditching us" I said plainly, the little jack then pulled away from the docks.
"hey!" Vyse and Aika ran as far as the could go.
"w...wait! Cap'n! where are you going?!" aika was wavering her arms like crazy, i walked over to her.
"lets go, I'm sure we'll find another ship" she looked at me and sighed.
"i guess that's our only option."
"come on lets go."
after a bit of wondering we made it to a tea house. we all gathered around a table and sat down. aika and Vyse were talking but i wasn't paying attention i was watching Belleza dance. that's so weird how she dances, it looks so simple but if you actually try it it's so difficult.' i looked out the window looking at the outside world and spaced out. i hadn't realized that i alzu was speaking to me, i heard him and turned to him but i didn't understand him, i was too zoned out after he was done. i was looking at him like 'he's trying to speak to me.'.
fina laughed "i don't think she was paying attention" thats when i i zoned back in.
"huh?!" i looked at fina and then noticed belleza..or rather bellena sitting with us. i was confused for that moment.
everyone simply laughed and vyse spoke "he said that bellena offered to lend us her ship, and that we were going now."
"ohhhh...ok" everyone got up. then it hit me. "wait were leaving now?!"
aika laughed. "no silly were going tomarrow, were going to the inn right now, tomorrow were meeting bellena at the docks."
"oh..i knew that"
"sure you did" vyse laughed.
i pouted and followed them. "of course i did.." then my phone rang. it was toll free. "what the.." i sighed and answered. "road kill cafe, you kill em we grill em. this is mai speaking...we don't sell that...i've never heard of such...hey, hey don't insult-...Screw you then!!" i hung up and smiled.
everyone was looking at me like 'what the hell?' vyse shrugged it off and spoke. "so what were you thinking about when you spaced out?"
"music"
"what do you mean?"
"i was listening to music in my head...you do know what music is right?"
"yes i know what music is and may i ask how?"
"i remember it, i memerized a lot of songs so yeah."
"i see..." he looked at me weird and coninued to walk to the inn.
-At the inn-
vyse payed for a room and we went to our room, i was humming a song as we went towards the room. i started whispering the lyrics so it wouldn't be so loud, i headed to my bed and layed down stareing at the ceiling singing to myself. i yawned and rolled over but i was at the egde of the bed and fell off.
"like ow..." i got up but hit the bed with my head, i rubbed my head and glared at the bed. i roll over and got up but my elbow hit the wall. i rubbed my elbow and pouted.
"oww, alzu this inn in beating me up" i complained
alzu turned to me and laughed a bit as he helped me up. "looks like this is a battle you won't win huh."
"meh, at least it's not as bad as when i got hit by six parked cars and beat up by a bike"
alzu blinked. "how did that happen?!"
"do you really wanna know?" i sat down on the bed.
"yes..i don't get how you can get beat up by inanimate objects"
"ok well, i went to ride bikes with my friend and i almost got hit by six parked cars, and cause those stupid wire things that are from the ground and then to the electricity poles. i almost crashed into the wire and i turned and somebody parked and i almost hit their car and the curb and then i almost crashed into the other cars then went back to his house 4 a while then we went to go ride around." i pause noticed everybody was staring and listening contently. "this is the part where i got beat up by the bike...god i hate that bike now...anyways, i was going across a bridge thingy then it went down hill and then i dropped my coke and i looked away to see where my coke went and the front tire skid on the side of the side walk then i lost balance cause i was going to fast and the handle bars got stuck on the fence then i hit my head on the fence and the handle bars got unstuck but then the handles bars went sideways and hit the side of my stomach. the bike fell with me on it and the seat ajusting thingy hit my thigh and then the pedal hit my knee and my foot got stuck in the wheel for awhile then i got it out and then i past out for a couple minutes and i was light headed for a while...my coke survived though..heheh"
Alzu started laughing like crazy and soon everyone followed suit.
"whats a bike..or a car?" Fina was a bit confused.
i smiled. "well a car has four wheels and...umm? it...uhh...it's hard to explain...it's basically our transportation for getting around instead of flying ships like here. sooo...yeah"
"then how do you get to other islands or continents?"
"boats and ships?"
"but i thought you said you couldn't fly from island to island."
i blinked and then smacked my forehead. "no we can't..not on a boat at least, and first of all, we don't have flaoting islands , the whole world is solid..and the only thing that separates islands is water, not air. were not that advanced in technoligy to have everything flying..but were working on that."
"wow..really?! that sounds interesting." Aika was amazed
"i guess?"
"so how does everything look?" Vyse asked curiously.
"well the cities look like upper Valua, and the city where i come from is a desert..sorta like here, 'cept it has more shade because of the buildings and a lot less sand."
"wow i wish we could go there." Aika seemed really interested.
"well maybe you can..if i ever find my way back that is."
"wow you really mean that?"
"yep...and hopefully my sister doesn't kill me after i get back...well anyways, don't you think it's a little past your bedtime?"
everyone laughed a bit.
"it's a bit dark out, i think we should start going to bed" fina smiled.
"alright, nighty night." i grabbed Alzu and layed down on the bed.
"hey! i'm not a teddy bear."
"yes you are..besides this is payback"
"for what?"
"you used me as a teddy bear"
"...fine" Alzu simply pouted.
-the next morning-
Alzu's POV
"mai wake up!" i shook her trying to wake her up.
"five more minutes..."
i sighed annoyed and started poking her side, making her twitch and jump. "you said that ten minutes ago, wake up"
"...Zzzz.."
i sighed. "you leave me no choice then" i grabbed the sides of the bed and flipped the mattress.
"ahh!" Maiyuki crashed to the ground with the matress.
"alright alright, I'm up." she got up with the messiest hair ever..it was like it got attacked by a hurricane. i stared at her hair for a moment and looked back at her.
"you might wanna fix that...and your hair it's little..well...just fix it" i turned around to get our bag but was startled by her sudden squeaky sneeze. i looked over at her. "are you sick or something?"
"no, it's just a little to hot in here" she sneezed again and shivered it off.
"...so..your not sick?"
"of course not, if i was I'd sound like a guy. i don't know ok, i sneeze when it's too hot or too cold...i know it's weird but..to be honest i don't think that's normal."
"what do you mean?"
"I'm not normal, that's what i mean." she walked over to her bag and put it on.
"well it just that, I'm sure there's weirder stuff than that."
"well i guess, but i definitely know that gum isn't supposed to melt in your mouth after just two minutes" she sighed. "i know for a fact that i'm not normal, sometimes i wonder if I'm even human." she said the last part sacastically but seriously...how does that work? i stood there dumbfounded for a moment and followed her out the door to the docks where vyse, aika, fina, and bellena were waiting. maiyuki was still half asleep and walking with her eyes closed.
"well look who finally decided to wake up." Vyse laughed.
"i didn't decide, i was forced up...well down because of gravity, but yeah...isn't it lovely..." she yawned.
"i'm surprised the bright light hasn't woken you up all the way yet" Bellena said matter a factly.
"well belleza, when you live in a desert all your life, instead of valua. you tend to ignore it" Maiyuki was half asleep and didn't realize her mistake.
everyone was staring at her.
"i'm pretty she's a bit to tired to know whats going on, so don't listen to her" i smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of my neck.
"well we better get going then." bellena smiled warmly.
"bellena why you going out of your way to give us a ride? you don't even know us."
"ooooooohhhhhh! some ones jealious" maiyuki was suddenly wide awake and teasing aika, why do i have a feeling this isn't going to end well...
"i am not!"
"mmmhhmm sure pal, i bet it's cuz she was hittin' on vyse huh" she smiled mischievously.
"maiyuki plaese don't start" i said annoyed but, it went unheard by both of them.
"of course not! i'm just curious"
"you lie!"
i went to vyse. "ok you get aika, i'll get mai, deal?"
he nodded in response and we both went to get them, i grabbed maiyuki and dragged her onto the ship and vyse did the same with aika. bellena and fina laughed and joined us. after a bit they finally calmed down but i'm not sure if it was a sudden sugar rush or what but maiyuki was really hyper..and singing.
we are going on a safari
see the lions from my ferrari
hope we do not get the malari
it's safari time
it was funny watching her dance and act out all of the lines
we are going on a safari
see the lions from my ferrari
hope we do not get the malari
it's safari time
she included fina aika, and vyse..and they seemed to be a little weirded out by her sudden sugar rush but soon joined in on it..then she started walking over to me. why am i not liking this.
many nice surprises
are waiting in the jungle
oh yeah, i'm not going to like this..
girlie, oh girlie
we're going on safari
"i'm not a girl" my eye twitched as she grabbed me and was singing to me.
i'll show you the goats
the chickens and the monkeys
so if you don't want to come
i'll go there anyway
she walked off and was dancing around and jumping too.
we are going on a safari
see the lions from my ferrari
hope we do not get the malari
it's safari time
i smacked my forehead. "god help us all" i shook my head.
we are going on a safari
see the lions from my ferrari
hope we do not get the malari
it's safari time
"mai-"
"look! it's a floating lake" maiyuki pointed out the window excited.
"thats impossible, lakes don't float"
"hey there is" vyse, aika and fina went to the window.
i looked at them, then the window. I blinked a couple times then looked away.ok, maybe she's not that insane..then again, this is her video game, anything is possible.
After a bit we reached Temple of Pyrnn. Vyse, Aika, Fina went up the stairs of the temple, after they were out of ear shot maiyuki spoke.
"Maybe i should have told them about the short cut into the room the crystal is...oh well. they'll live."
Bellena and I looked at her, though Bellena was confused.
"have you been here before?" Bellena looked at maiyuki confused.
"sorta.."
"more like you live here once..." An unfamiliar voice said and we all looked at the direction of where it came from. There was a boy with semi-long red hair and crystal blue eyes.
"who are you?" maiyuki looked at him confused.
"I am Recumen." he smiled and bowed. "it is an honor to see the his highness's daughter is well" he seemed sincere but.
"Say what now?!" She looked at him like he had just said something in a foreign language.
"it seems you havn't gotten your memories back yet." he sighed
"o..k?...care to fill me in then?" she was confused and curious
Recumen smiled "well you are a descendant of King Garsha and Empress Sancha. they were the rulers of the continent Galacia, or as most people know it, The Lands of Ice."
"...and..how is that possible? if i remember correctly. I'm not even from..here...and well, you could just be some weirdo thats trying to mess with my head."
"..i see that they did not teach the history to it's descendants..i don't know what has happened between then and now but i do know that some of the purplities fled when the rains of distructions were called upon Arcadia. I wasn't sure if they made it but seeing you here has lifted my doubts."
"ok?...and how do you know I'm this supposed "descendant"...and don't say it's just a feeling you have because that feeling could be wrong."
"look at your left shoulder, you have a birthmark of a whale there. That mark is the symbol of the royal family."
Maiyuki lifted her sleeve and looked at her shoulder and merely blinked. "ok?" she looked at him with doubt.
"how could it be possible that she is the descendant of the civilization you say she is from, humans breed with different poeple and the blood of this royal family would be branched into different descendant."
"ah what a clever boy, it is true that there would be many. Although she was drawn here for a reason, it is time for her to claim her lands and stop the ancient feud between the silver and purple lands. you must marry the prince of the silver civilization"
maiyuki glared. "oh hells no! this is just a video game, all i wanna do is go home ok...and if you don't listen well i guess this is where i say "I'm the princess of...whatever you just said and i demand to go back to earth." ok..i'm not into the whole princess thing. I'm pretty sure someone else can do it for me."
he said nothing.
"who is the prince of the silver civilization?" I looked at him confused.
"Ramirez" he said simply, i looked over at Maiyuki wjo twitched.
"ok seriously, this isn't funny ok. your really starting to get on my nerves so you now what. go away! nobody likes a liar." maiyuki said frustrated.
"princess, you seem irritated of this, do you not want to end this family feud?"
"maybe if this way Romeo and Juliet. your plan would work but unfortunately it's not so stop trying your little game ok, you've been caught redhanded that your a horrible liar. now leave us alone."
"as you wish, but if i may say one more thing. there is a reason for why your here and your abilities." with that he was gone.
"stupid redhead" maiyuki muttered.
"why didn't you just accept it, even if it was possibly not right. you could have been a princess."
"and marry Rami? I don't think so! besides, marrying in a royal family means an heir. i don't feel like doing stuff like that with some guy i don't know, especially with a video game character that turns out to be real, that's the prince of..and that's corrupted by..and...oh my god he was really saying the truth" she shook her head in disbelief.
"...nooo, he's probably some weirdo that has no life and tries to trick people...yeah..i'll stick with that."
"what if he's not lying.." bellena had a dead serious face on, it seemed unnatural.
"..." maiyuki seemed to be in deep thought.
"What did he mean by ancient feud?" then it clicked, didn't maiyuki say something to Ramirez about.."
"i speak the truth, i was banished from the silver shrine because i was only half Silviet and they couldn't live with the fact of what my other half was."
he looked at maiyuki then fina, although fina and I were looking at the floor. he looked back at Maiyuki and he stepped forward up to her. she was a bit scared of what he was going to do but then again i was curious.
"and what would your other half be?" his eyes weren't as cold anymore they were curious and confused.
she blinked a couple times. she looked away to the floor and took a step back. i glanced up at him. "Purplities" she looked at him like, 'please don't hurt me.'
he was taken aback by that but then he glared. "All of the Purple civilization disappeared years ago, you expect me to believe that."
"maybe he was telling the truth mai. do you remember how Ramirez acted when you said you were half purplities. he had so much hatred in his eyes but the only thing that stopped him from killing you was the other thing you said..." I looked at maiyuki
"yeah..i guess i'll believe him." she sighed. "but still...if i do accept this...what am I supposed to do, no one lives there, you know how creepy that is. knowing your the only one there, it's like...really weird."
"so your now considering it." bellena put a hand on maiyuki's shoulder to reassure her. Maiyuki smiled but it faded.
"if i do...that would mean i can't trust anyone because i don't know who my allies are..especially with Valua.."
"why not Valua?"
"because they wanna take over the world...so yeah"
"hey wouldn't that explain your telekinesis power? how it heightened here."
"telekinesis?" bellena looked at us confused.
"it means I can move stuff with my mind or if I'm good enough, i can teleport or stop time..but I'm still learning, i only attempt the impossible when my life depends on it...though i don't remember everything of what happens afterwords..and i know thats not a good sign. so um...yeah."
"i see..I'm sorry." bellena had sympathy in her eyes.
"were back! sorry it took so long. I hope you guys weren't to worried about us." I turned to see Vyse, Aika, and Fina were back.
I smiled. "did you find that crystal you were looking for?"
"yeah" Aika smiled
"I knew you could do it. would it be ok if i took a look at it?"
"sure" Vyse smiled and handed the crystal over to Bellena.
"wow, so this is a moon crystal. It's so beautiful." bellena smiled as she held it. "thank you so much...I'm sure that Lord Galcian will be very pleased."
We all looked at her in shock..well all except Maiyuki, she seemed to have expected this.
"whooh, Vyse got tricked now should we start running from Recumen now, or after you reintroduce yourself as Belleza." Maiyuki looked at her annoyed.
"so you knew...i thought you seemed familiar."
"Unfortunately. for you, yes. It me."
"...you don't seem to be attempting to get the crystal back."
"Ha. and get speared by those guards that are hiding. Hells to the no. I'd rather get this over with. go on do what you planned, they don't know what you have in mind so it should go just fine...i think?" She said that so seriously that everyone was shocked.
"well then i guess that makes my job easier."
"you wish." Maiyuki looked at her with her crimson eyes, she seemed to be calm but something said otherwise.
"what does that mean."
"..." she merely smiled and something black started glowing from inside her chest. Then someone stood next to her, he had long black hair, and crimson eyes like hers. He was your description of Mr. tall and creepy...
A/N: whooh! i finished this chapter!..i'm sorry. school delayed me so um..yeah.
