I couldn't believe how many reviews I got! I was just like...WOW. Maybe I should do the seven requests more often! But imagine how long every chapter would be and the disclaimers saying I own nothing! Not even Baralai, Gippal or Rikku! Can you even?
Thanks to a bunch of people! Red Garnet 27, Blood Red nin, Ellie0223, Chukobher, Anonymous-Sakura, Numina-Namine, and nethernity are all the people I want to thank. I also want to thanks those of you who did the seven requests and also the people who reviewed almost every chapter. This chapter might be long, but if you dedicated reviewers read the rest of this chapter, you'll be rewarded with the only reward I can think of!
Note: I'm sorry if any of you does not want to be mentioned in this chapter, especially since you guys work together! I'm sorry if I described you guys wrong, but you can't really blame me...Oh, and, there's A LOT of fight scenes in this chapter. This chapter is like, one big fight. I feel sorry for our dear Nami-hime(I like that nickname. I'll probably refer to her as that from now on in Author's Notes) because she has to fight...Oh, for those of you who know how to speak French(real, genuine French), forgive me. Remember, my French might be a little iffy since I'm a French-Canadian. But yes, I'm using my native language in here! (English isn't my first language, which is why this story might not make sense)
To Ellie0223: You get your own very special note. Feel special. No, but seriously, I looked at your profile and I know you're obsessed with Zexion, Gippal, and Tidus, but they're already in the plot of the story so I can't use them(well, they'll be in the story later on) so I had to choose Baralai! I hope you luff him just as much as your other bishies!
Angels in Flight: Towa no Shirube
Chapter 11: Eternity is Ending
(Part 1: Guide to Eternity Finale)
'...the Masamune! Sephiroth's sword!' Seifer was far away from her, so Naminé would need a big sword. The Masamune would do the trick. It appeared in her hands and it was so big that it almost touched Seifer already. He noticed and turned around as Hyperion on appeared in his hands. Even though they were in the city square, it still had walls.
"Now I get an excuse to take you out. I've got to thank you for this." Seifer sneered. Naminé brought Masamune back and Seifer charged since the sword was no longer in his way. Then, with all of her strength, she brought it forward so that it slammed Seifer into a wall. She backed up, then charged.
"I won't go out without a fight!" Since the sword was pinning Seifer to the wall, she didn't need to hold onto it anymore. 'You never said I could wish for multiple weapons, so, now I want a - ' She was running ontop of the Masamune with incredible balance not making her fall off. She jumped up when Seifer managed to take the Masamune out of him using 'the Power of Darkness'. '-Keyblade!' However, her Keyblade clashed with Seifer's gunblade, and once Naminé dropped to the ground, she backed away. She took this moment to examine her weapon. The keyblade was the same as her sister's.
'I can't make new keyblades. I'm sorry. The other angels are kind of using theirs, so...' Yunalesca trailed off. Honestly, Naminé couldn't care less about what type of keyblade she got. As long as she got one. The Masamune disappeared and Seifer's wound healed with his darkness power.
"At least fight me fairly, Seifer! I know I'll probably lose anyway!" Naminé shouted, and who could blame her? She wasn't that strong to begin with, and going against a guy who could heal everything you threw at him was just a little too much for her to be able to handle. Maybe if he fought fairly, she'd at least have a chance of stalling him enough for Roxas to wake up. She wasn't even aiming at defeating him. Naminé knew that she'd never be able to do that. Roxas did have a chance at defeating him. She knew that once he woke up, he'd be able to do that for her.
"Fine, I'll fight fair against you." Seifer was going to add 'But I'm never going to fight fair against Roxas,' but he decided to let that be a little surprise for him when he woke up. Knowing that piece of information, Naminé ran forward, as did Seifer. Their weapons met.
'I'm at close range! Could I have some kunais? Lots and lots of them!' The small knives appeared in Naminé's other hand, the one that wasn't wielding the flowery keyblade. Seifer didn't notice, but when he felt the knives pierce his collarbone, he noticed. He looked down at her, and more appeared. Seifer jumped back just a little and sliced her arm. Her keyblade dropped.
'Get it together, Nami! Don't let this pain get to you! Roxas isn't up yet! You've still got to protect him! I know it hurts, but just think of all the times he's protected you! Don't you think he's been in worse pain?' Yunalesca shouted, and before Seifer completely maimed her arm, a kunai appeared in her other hand and she stuck it in his forehead, as deep as she could. Naminé knew that was a cheap shot, but she did want her right arm. Seifer staggered back, the Hyperion leaving her arm.
'It hurts so much...' Naminé began to whine, tears bubbling up in her eyes because of the pain. She didn't want to cry. Not because of Seifer. That would just give him more pleasure, to see her in pain and to know he caused it, Naminé knew. Seifer was just a damned masochist. 'Do you think...do you think it'll ever heal, Yuna?' Since Yunalesca called her by a nickname, Naminé decided to return the favor, calling Yunalesca her mother's name.
'It will. But now you'll be at an even larger disadvantage since you can't use your right arm. After the battle, I can heal it for you, but you shouldn't cheat when Seifer isn't cheating. But if he completely slices it off, I can't heal it for you.' Yuna said, and Naminé nodded. She would have to be careful. That made it even more harder. The blood gushed out all over her arm, it was a disgusting sight. 'Can you move it? If it hurts, don't try.'
'I think he got into my bone...' Naminé gasped when she tried to move it. 'No, I can't move it...it hurts too much...' Seifer pretended to care. It had to be all an act, as Naminé was right when she said he didn't really care for anything other than his looks and himself.
"Are you alright? I can heal you if you just come over here." Seifer smirked. She didn't fall for it, but she did look back at her arm.
"You'd probably just make it worse! How could you even hurt me like this if you so-called 'love me'. If you hurt people you care about, no wonder you're selfish and greedy." Naminé snapped, not even touching her arm because it hurt so much. Seifer calmly walked up to her and grabbed her arm. She gasped in pain and couldn't stop the tears. In her left hand, more kunais appeared in her hand. She didn't hesitate in sticking them in his shoulder. He didn't seem to notice, but he did laugh.
"You think your petty little weapons are going to have an affect on me? Not a chance!" He didn't let go of her arm, but instead he slowly started to walk backwards so she'd feel the giant rip in her arm. The keyblade appeared in her left arm and she didn't care if this wasn't how you were supposed to use the weapon - she threw it at him and it hit him square in the forehead. He fell, but he brought Naminé down with him. Before she could attempt to snatch her arm away, Seifer wrapped an arm around her waist so that she couldn't stop herself from falling with him.
"Let go of me you pervert!" They were on top of each other. Not by wanting to be, either.
"Don't you like our proximity, Naminé?" Seifer asked. Instead of answering, she thought, 'This is the time I can stab him in the heart!' She needed a small weapon, but a kunai wouldn't be enough. Of course, she didn't really need to summon a weapon because the Oblivion grazed her shoulder and went right into Seifer's heart. Naminé looked up. It was Roxas. But at first glance he looked like the Devil himself.
-(Roxas' POV)-
I hope I killed Seifer. I really hope I did. I don't know he got here, but whatever he was thinking of doing with Naminé while I was still alive was never going to work. I helped her up and took the keyblade out of him. She hugged me with only her left arm.
"He didn't hurt you, did he?" Naminé seemed to hesitate a little. She looked down, then looked up at me.
"If...If I tell you he did, will you go berserk?" I shook my head. Anger doesn't really drive me to go berserk, despite the word. I felt pretty in-control, so I think I could have overrode the virius if it happened to try and hack into me again. "Well..." She lifted her other arm slightly and winced while doing it. I glanced at Seifer. He was still on the floor, but his wound was healing. I didn't care about that, Naminé had to come first. I held her arm and she started to cry. That I just felt awful about. I knew it wasn't me that made her cry...but I couldn't see her hurt, or crying. She didn't deserve pain or sadness.
"I can make it better, Naminé." That was true. I could. I soaked up enough sun(we were all outside, remember?) to make my holy power amount rise. I felt renewed and didn't feel any wear or tear. I hadn't completely healed yet from Yunalesca's machine gun, but I felt a lot better than I did before. Anything could make a wound feel better with a kiss. Anything can. If you put your whole heart into it,(which was funny since I didn't have one) that person would feel less pain and feel better. One of the few things my mother told me before was that piece of information right there. I don't know if it's true or not, but if it was the last thing she told me before she died, then it must be pretty important.
"But if you get hurt it in the process - " Naminé was just so pure. Even to this day, I'm still unsure if I can kiss her without feeling guilty. But even so, I wanted her to feel better, so I did it. I kissed her. It was just a short kiss on the lips. I really didn't want to get any deeper than that, and just a sweet kiss like that should do the trick.
"Thank you, Roxas...I feel a lot better now..." She smiled brightly, even though her face was as red as the setting sun. She looked at her and moved it a little and her grin got even wider. "It really doesn't hurt as much! Thank you!" The wound was still there. I couldn't heal wounds. I was actually able to heal bruises and minor wounds(once I completely healed my brother's broken arm) before I revived all of Naminé's family. Now I can't even come close. I could probably heal a paper-cut or something, but nothing this big.
"I'm sorry, Naminé. I wish I could heal all of your wound. I'll make sure Seifer will pay for what he did to you." I said, clenching my fist and turning towards Seifer. He was standing up, fully healed. "Get back, Naminé. I don't know how he's able to heal himself-"
"He made a pact with Lucifer and now he has the power of darkness!" She shouted. "Roxas, I can fight too. I don't want you to get hurt protecting me." I shook my head. I knew she was crazy all along. Thinking she can fight against someone who has such a great power. I wish I could say I love her, but I can say that she's out of her mind. Completely.
"You'll get hurt. I know you will. Leave this stuff to the professionals." I winked at her and she blushed a deep crimson and blinked. "The only thing that can even hope to defeat darkness is light, anyway."
"Just please don't get hurt, Roxas." I saw her back up until she was a safe distance away. Then I turned my attention to Seifer. I could go all out now that I knew she was safe. He had his arms crossed and was giving me a cocky grin.
"Isn't this romantic?! I'm sorry to break up your little fantasy, Sora, but nothing can ever defeat the power I have!" I just thought that was funny. So I started to snicker. "What's so funny? You're going to be - " I shook my head.
"It's nothing, Seifer. I just know of five angels that wouldn't be too happy to hear you say that." I've been to Mizu no Akashi tons of times. Another memory with my mother is taking my brother and I here and talking to Sephiroth. I don't remember what she said to him, but that's trivial. I whistled. "Oh giiiiiirrrrllllssss..." I said in a sing-song voice. I ran to where Naminé was and whispered to her, "Don't worry. Just watch." I wanted to kill Seifer myself, but I figured these girls that I just called could disable his darkness powers so I could finish him off.
"Five!" In a blonde blur, Rikku sped in the plaza and posed for Seifer.(Well, not really FOR him, but it was apart of their little routine where they pose for the bad guy) For a fallen, she sure was a hyper-active girl. Not as hyper as the third girl in their little troupe, but still hyper.
"Four." A very thin tornado appeared in the spot next to Rikku. When the gales died down, it left an albino-girl(who was actually full angel, she was very, VERY powerful) frozen in a pose which had her arms crossed and she was looking down.
"Three's gonna dazzle ya!" This half-angel had the most flashiest entrance scene. The area besides the albino-girl sparkled, and an image of a cheeky and cute(I, personally, thought she was cute. But I thought Naminé was beautiful) curly-blonde appeared. Then it faded, and in a big blast of sparkles and with glitter being thrown onto Seifer(which made him a very Pretty Princess) the golden-haired half-angel appeared with a pose that of a frozen ballet move.
"Two!" In a series of front-hand springs, cartwheels, round-offs, and extremely complicated flips, a black-haired fallen angel posed in a face frame. Seifer took a double take. In case you don't know, a face frame is where you lay down on your stomach and you bring up your legs ALL the way over your body so they rest at the sides of your head, like a frame. She's the most flexible of the five, literally and personality-wise. Then they broke their poses to move to the side.
"We save the best for last..." They trailed off, and I grabbed Naminé's arm(the one that was not wounded) and moved to then side so the last girl could perform her tricks. Before you knew it a brown-haired brown-eyed girl was running down the little alley we created at Mach Five. No joke at that, either. We all know her as the fastest girl alive, and she has this really odd ability, too... She jumped on Seifer's shoulders and then jumped off of him, leaving him on the ground because of the momentum she had build up.
"ONE!" Seemingly from the air, a pair of shiny pink glasses(she claims she runs so fast that her eyesight got ruined) landed right in her hand and she placed them on. The other four girls just seemed to slide next to her in a pose.
"We are the Angel Five! Soundoff!" The Angel Five shouted. Seifer looked like he was in agony already. He seemed to be mouthing 'Make it stop' to someone. But I knew that since he accepted Lucifer's help, the Authority would rather make me a Seraphim than help him.
"Rikku!" Rikku posed again. Seifer groaned and started to rub his temples. He may be the personification of darkness, but everyone gets annoyed. Except for me...since annoyance is an 'irrational needless emotion', but I still get annoyed...it's a very complex subject that I'd rather not dwell on.
"I'm Nethernity..." The albino girl said, taking a curtsy and then placing her hands behind her back shyly. I kind of felt sorry for Nethernity, because she's so shy. There's a reason why that is, though. It's because of her power. Since she has pure-white hair, it's said she has power that's greater than Sephiroth's, so no one in Mizu no Akashi really talks to her in fear of being obliterated. Of course, the Angel Five and I do, but still...
"I'm Rebecca, but everyone calls me Chukobher! Pleasure to meet ya!" No one knows how Rebecca got the nickname Chukobher. Everyone in Mizu no Akashi calls her that, though. The majority of the Mizu no Akashi population knows that Chukobher is especially fond of her curly blonde hair. Back when I was human(or angel, take your pick)...I thought she was cute, but now all she does is remind me of a curly-haired Naminé. She turned around and waved. "Hey Sora! Hear ya got your name changed, huh? Is that your girlfriend? Oh wow! I can totally imagine you two together! Good luck in the love-love department!" I looked at Naminé to see if her face was as red as mine. Nope. It was redder.
"The name's Ellie!" Ellie's story was one of those tragic love stories. Of course, the Authority never understands anything for the sake of love. Well, she was in love with this human named Baralai...and I'm pretty sure you can guess the rest by her status as Fallen Angel. Ellie didn't like to be reminded of that incident, since Baralai now had all his memories removed because of their relationship...It was a terrible story, and that, too, I'd rather not dwell on.
"I'm Numina!" Numina had a very...unique power. In a flash of bright light, she had transformed her looks to be exactly like that of Naminé's. "Just call me Numina- Naminé, okay?" She was a shapeshifter. She could change her appearance to look like any other females in the entire universe. She tried to look like me once, but she can't change her gender(let's hope not, anyway) but the result was...well, that, too, is something rather embarrassing.
So. This was just peachy-keen, I thought. A girl who was hyper, a girl who was extremely shy but very powerful, a girl I thought was cute, a girl who was a good friend of mine, and a girl who looked exactly like my 'girlfriend'. I could tell the difference between Numina-Naminé and Naminé with my sensors. Angels have a much different 'aura' to them than humans do. But if I didn't use my sensors, I probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
"Okay girls! Let's go with plan XYZ! Let's defeat this blonde menace!" Rikku shouted. She was the leader of the Angel Five. The Angel Five was really this all-girl group that just patrolled Mizu no Akashi. They were the equivalent to the police in other cities, and they'd let anyone join as long as they had certain 'requirements'. (Not being male was the only one I knew of, but Rikku insisted there was this whole complicated procedure I'd never understand...I don't know. Don't ask me for the details)
"Rikku! Seifer took some power from Lucifer, so I don't know if anything holy will phase him! I know that once he's not able to heal himself anymore, I can take him out. Just be careful!" I shouted, knowing full-well that Seifer could hear me. He was probably too cocky to think that nothing could ever hurt him anyway. Rikku then started to jump up and down and squealed.
"We can call Gippal! Gippal'll know what to do! I need to lead the Angel Five! Sor - er, Roxas! Do you think you can get Gippal for me?" Gippal was a Ladies' Man, through and through. He flirted with every single girl he met(I think he'd be good friends with Axel) so I was kind of worried about introducing Naminé to him. But even though he did hit on every girl, the only person he'd ever gotten 'serious' about was Rikku. And Rikku would toast him(so would I) if he ever hit on Naminé.
"Just stall him for a little!" I took Naminé's hand in mine. "You're going to come with me, just in case they can't protect you for whatever reason." I could tell she looked a little worried, so I just said, "Don't worry about anything, Naminé. Gippal's a little odd, but it'll be okay. Even if it's not, I can always protect you." If Axel were around, he'd kill me for stealing his catchphrase. But I just HAD to steal it for effect. "Got it memorized?" She nodded and laughed a little.
We had walked away from the plaza and were now in the 'alley' of the houses. I concentrated on what my sensors would sense, since they were that much stronger than the normal five senses. I heard...singing? Oh, I definitely knew that was Gippal by the choice of words.
'And I'm too sexy for your party
Too sexy for your party
No way I'm disco dancing
I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I do my little turn on the catwalk
I'm too sexy for my car too sexy for my car
Too sexy by farAnd I'm too sexy for my hat
Too sexy for my hat what do you think about that..'
I started laugh. He was so playboy, it wasn't even funny. "Um...Roxas? Are you alright?" Naminé asked, looking worried. She probably thought I was crazy because she couldn't hear the music, but I could. I nodded and walked towards the house which I knew was Gippal and Rikku's.(Yeah, they lived together. Don't ask me how he gets girls with his girlfriend living at his house, I have no idea) Then I knocked.
Gippal stopped singing and opened the door cautiously. He was in an apron and armed with a pan. "If you're here to take my - " He blinked, then realized that it was me at the door and not some tax collector. (I don't know why they would need tax collectors in an Angelic City, but maybe Sephiroth wants to earn some gil?) "Oh! It's you, Sora! Haven't seen you in a long time! How have you been?" Then, he noticed Naminé. Now his 'Don Juan' personality that all the girls flip over came in.
He kneeled down on one knee after he dropped the pan he had been handling and took her hand and kissed it. "Thank you for gracing me with your presence, beautiful Princess. I just need to ask...Did it hurt?" Naminé blinked, unsure of what he meant. "When you fell from Heaven?" Why do girls go over that cheesy stuff? They're just pick-up lines. Then, he noticed her wound and gasped. "Who did this to you? I must make them pay! Here, this should help." He placed a hand over her wound and she winced in pain, but when a dark purple light emitted from his hand, the wound healed. She smiled and was about to thank him when I had to ruin the atmosphere. (I didn't like Gippal being so friendly around Naminé, even though he healed her wound)
"Gippal, we have a problem." I said, and he opened his mouth to say something, but I cut him off, "No, it's not that Naminé is so beautiful or that Numina is impersonating some drop-dead gorgeous girl again. Lucifer made this man named Seifer into the personification of darkness. The Angel Five is stalling him until you get there. We all know you can handle this situation." Gippal cursed. I was surprised, he never used foul language around a girl. Never, ever. Unless he was drunk. I was pretty sure he was sober, too.
"I bet my old man did that just to find out where I was." Gippal stalked off. Naminé looked at me witha puzzled expression on her face.
"His old man? Does that mean Gippal is the Devil's son?" That was exactly it. I nodded. It seemed that everyone had their own tragic love story. It was so sad to think of anyone's history in Mizu no Akashi..
"Gippal isn't an angel or a human. He's a Demon. You see how he had that eyepatch on one eye? That was because when he entered here with Rikku, Sephiroth didn't trust Lucifer's son and he blinded him in one eye." I explained, but I know she wasn't really getting it. I guess I was going to have to tell their story, too. "You see, Gippal has tremendous power that can negate holy power. He got that from his father, Lucifer. You could say he's the Demon Prince. Rikku was the Messenger Angel for the Authority. He had to send this really important message to Lucifer, and he can't go into Hell because it is too tainted for him to even walk in there."
"So he sent Rikku, because Rikku is one of the few angels that had been human and she would be able to fly through Hell. Most mortals, when they die, do not become angels. Only a select few do. Anyway, he sent Rikku down to Hell to give Lucifer the message, but he was off recruiting more minions from Heaven or whatever the Devil does when he gives his throne to his son. Gippal was on the Devil's throne instead. As the Authority sent more and more messages to Hell, and with Rikku delivering them, they met more and more. So gradually, they fell in love, and the only way Rikku would ever be able to be together with Gippal happily is in Mizu no Akashi. One day when Lucifer was off doing whatever he does, Rikku took him here. The moment she took Gippal's hand she became fallen." I said, but I was almost done. Naminé looked so interested, too.
"The reason she became fallen the moment she touched him was because his power as the Prince of Hell was so great, it siphoned all of her holy power. So, she took him here. Sephiroth instantly sensed that an evil was in his beloved town he had been safeguarding for over a thousand years, so when he saw Gippal, he didn't believe that he would just turn over a new leaf like that. He thought that he was just getting close to Rikku to get inside the city and then obliterate it, and Rikku just didn't realize it because she was so in love with him. So Sephiroth took out his Masamune and blinded his eye. But Lucifer does not even know he is here, so it is a great danger to everyone living inside Mizu no Akashi that the Devil's son is living here. But since Rikku begged and begged, Sephiroth decided that he'd let them both stay." I explained, and I couldn't help but smile. "Even though that his eyesight will never be restored in that one eye, after he told me his story, he said it was all worth it."
"That's - that's beautiful. It seems to me that Sephiroth is kinder than the Authority. I feel bad that Gippal lost his eye for love." Naminé flexed her newly-healed arm. "I'm very grateful to him for healing my arm."
"I wish..." I hesitated. I didn't know whether to continue my sentence or not. I placed my hand where my mechanical functions could be activated(it was near my ear, awkwardly enough). Analyzing Best Action...
So I used my sensors instead of my common sense. I didn't even think I HAD common sense anymore, I think they made it so that I HAD to use my sensor. You have to give props to Naminé's parents, though. They managed to take every single possible situation and input the best result in my systems. I do have to admit, they took a lot of time while developing my systems. But I am the best of the best, at least in Tsugare. Computing action selected...
Sometimes, I can daze in and out like that and forget to tell my systems just to give me the best response, not do it. Well, I tend to do that alot.
"I wish I could heal you like he does." I said, and I hope that really was the best action to take. I didn't want her running away or slapping me in the face or anything. Instead, Naminé smiled.
"Oh, Roxas! That's so sweet! But you do heal me. You heal my heart." She said, and then shook her head. "Let's not just stand here all day! You have to go fight up against Seifer!" I nodded. I could pound Seifer into a pulp after the Angel Five and Gippal take care of him first. I turned around and walked a little so that Naminé and I were out of their line of fighting, but could still see the fight. The Angels were distracting Seifer with insults and attacks from behind and stuff like that, while Gippal was thinking of a plan.
"Gippal!" I called him, and he ran to us. "Got any ideas of how we can stop Seifer?" He shrugged, and winked at Naminé. I inwardly shook my head. It seems girls were more important to him than stopping one of his father's minions, but I knew it was actually reverse.
"Well, I do, but it'll need a lot of power. Holy power. If someone like me or maybe your girlfriend could stall him while all the angels, even the fallen ones, gather inside a circle and chant an incantation my father once taught me in case I needed to kill an angel. I'm sure if I tweak the words a bit, it'll do the same to demons." Gippal said. "But the hard part is knowing what words I'll need to tweak."
"I know you can't say it, but write it down and maybe I can change it." I tapped my head. "I have a machine inside of me that knows everything. I doubt it, but maybe I'll be able change it." Gippal nodded and looked back at the Angel Five, who were doing a pretty good job at a diversion.
"Let's give it a shot. It couldn't hurt to try. Hey, girls! Distract him a little while longer for me!" He shouted, then ran off. "Follow me!" We followed. I looked back when I heard a cry of frustration shout from Seifer.
"Get out of the away! The only person I want to fight is Roxas! Not you!" He yelled, but the Angels lined up in front of him like a barricade. I was sure they could handle it. Rikku, Nethernity, Ellie, Chukobher and Numina were pretty tough. It would help that Numina looked like Naminé, too. Maybe he'd mistake Numina-Naminé for the actual Naminé.
Gippal practically tackled the door open and he went to grab a piece of paper and something to write with. "Oh! I forgot!" Naminé reached into one of her pockets(she was still wearing the dress Arlene had given her, and that dress had pockets). "I kept a piece of paper and a colored pencil to draw on in my pocket just in case!" Gippal ran back to us, grabbed the paper and silver-colored pencil and began to write immediately. He stopped a couple of times, then nodded and continued writing. As he was about to hand it to me, Naminé shouted, "WAIT!"
As if on cue, she swayed a little and I held out my arm to catch her. She was still awake, just a little pale. "You alright, Naminé?" She nodded and smiled weakly.
"Yunalesca left me...she said she needed to go back to her own body because she might have an idea." Naminé said, and Gippal stiffened and stared at her for a moment, blinking.
"Yunalesca? The Byakuya? She possessed you? If she gets out of here, she'll definitely tell my father that I'm in here. Then, Rikku will be in danger...not only her, but the whole population of Mizu no Akashi." Gippal looked down, and then gave me the paper. "We need to exorcize her and Seifer immediately, for the goodwill of everything holy!" I looked at it, scanning it. Wait...I could translate it!
"Et alors nous disons, pour toujours et un jour, pour toujours et un jour, mais pour toi, mon chéri, l'éternité finit. Mon chéri des cieux saura pas d'un temps éternel de bonheur. Pour nous, la volonté d'infini durent, pour toujours et un jour..."
Of course I could say it, because I didn't have the power to kill an angel. I placed my hand near my 'activator' for my mechanical devices, and then commanded them to do what I needed to do. "This is the translated version...'And then we say, for always and a day, for always and a day, but for you, my darling, eternity finishes. My darling of the skies will not know a time of eternal happiness. For us, the will of infinite last, for always and a day…' That doesn't make any sense!" Gippal shrugged.
"Pops has lived for a long time. I guess he made this chant way back when." He suggested, but I immediately made the changes. He looked over my shoulder and made this humming noise to the song he had been singing earlier.
"I think...I think Yunalesca is nice, now. She said that my pure heart was affecting her actions. She seemed nice enough when she helped me out when I went against Seifer." I had a feeling Yunalesca was going to do something bad. I just had this feeling. But I didn't want to worry Naminé, so I didn't say anything about it.
But I should've. I'm not too sure if it would have made a difference or not, because I think the final factor that really killed us both was Seifer, if you ask me. I guess you could blame it on me, too. But when Yunalesca took over Naminé's body again...I just knew nothing would ever be the same.
How right I was.
This was dragging on too long, so I had to split this chapter up into two parts. Don't worry guys who are in the Angel Five, they don't make an appearance after Part 1 ends, unless you all reeeaaaalllly want them too. Of course, Rikku'll appear multiple times and...
Oh, don't think I ignored any of your requests or weapon requests. Nami-hime has another fight next chapter...which will be the stunning(well, I think it is, but i might be predictable to you guys) finale of Part 1!
Of course...I'm not going to write it until at least a review pops in my inbox. Sorry for the delayed update, but thank you all for reading and reviewing so far!
