Episode 2.2: Broken Pieces

Walking out of the Omen-Spur and into the Hainy Crossing of the Mosphoran Highwaste was Kizer, Chloe and me. It was just acouple hours after Kizer's little show with Yuna, dammit that shit pissed me off to the point where I wanted to kick Kizer's ass for some reason...but it's not his fault ya know...It's just those girls fault for not recognizing my talents.

I got down on my knees as the blue aura of unhappiness swayed in the background. Chloe and Kizer went walking ahead until Chloe turned around to spot me. "Awww...Belias is he sulking again?" Clo asked with a big sigh.

"I know it's just too much of a blow for him, but he shouldn't feel bad...I'm irresistable to women." Kizer shrugged.

" Jin shut up." Clo said walking up to me and placing a hand on my back as I started drawing circles in the ground with my finger.

" Kel don't worry it'll be alright..." She said. I looked up at her with wide anime tears running from my eyelids.

"Hmmm?" I looked up at her crying my eyes out. Have I no shame?...nah...

" The right woman's gonna come along I'm telling you." She said sounding like my mom for some reason.

"Yeah your probably right." I said leaning up in an instant I didn't feel so bad. I wasn't really crying though it was the anime moment. I hate anime moments.

" Wow your over it that quick?" Clo jumped up beside me and nudged me alittle. I swear this lady was like 6'3.

" Yeah." I shrugged.

"No he isn't." Belias spoke up appearing on my head.

" Awwww..." I curled back up into the ball of sorrow while the blue aura surrounded me again.

"KEL!!" Clo screamed.

" KAAAA!!!" Zodiark screeched.

Moments later we were walking along through the Northern Skirts.

" So anyway Clo what's your story huh? And how did you know our names?" Kizer finally asked as we were just clearing the Northern Skirts. I was slowly walking in the back slopping over.

" I knew you guys before you even came to Ivalice to fight this battle." She replied. Which sort of made me look up...but I was still sad.

" I don't remember seeing somebody as pretty as you in my life." Kizer said with a grin.

"That's it Kizer...heh my boy's on his game." Zaleras said sitting on his shoulder.

" Hm, flattery will get you nowhere...anyway Zodiark and I knew who the new conformers would be before you got here. The Espers knew they'd pick you guys..." Chloe said with a shrug.

"And we told her who we'd pick before we left to your world." Zaleras said looking at Kizer. Kizer looked back and smirked alittle.

" Hm that was interesting to know but I wanna know about you." Kizer said pointing at her.

" I'm the Conformer of Zodiark." She said with a shrug. "I'm a comrade to all Espers."

"Right." Kizer said. "How old're you?"

"JIN!! IT'S A FORBIDDEN THING FOR A MAN TO ASK A WOMAN'S AGE!!" She all of a sudden snapped and Kizer and I had the same expression.

"So how old are ya?" I asked walking up beside Kizer.

" Kel you too?" She said raising an eyebrow. I nodded and she sighed. "Well if you want to know I guess I could tell you."

" What!? So all of a sudden when he wants to know you'll blab it out?" Kizer yelled pointing at me with like a child.

" Yeah." She nodded with a smile. I dunno why but that made me feel alittle better. Belias could somehow sense my joy in the moment then did that weird dance on my head. You know that weird dance he does before he casts Hellfire. Chloe saw Belias and laughed alittle... "Anyway I'm 36...how old are you guys?"

"Wow 36 huh? Well I'm 18." I said pointing to myself. Kizer pushed me out of the way and pointed to himself as well. "Same here."

" Both of you are half my age, how cool...that means when I was just finishing my first year in college you guys were just being born or on the way to." She smiled.

"Well when you say it that way it makes you sound like an old lady." Kizer said with a straight face and a wide grin showing his jagged teeth. For a second Clo just stood there as if trying to grasp what he just said or make sense of it. Then all of a sudden she bursted out at him with a sprint attempting to grab him.

"Com'ere ya little bastard!" She shouted holding her hands out.

"Noway get away from me old lady! HAHA!" Kizer laughed evilly as he ran around me, Clo came running after him and they were both running around me in a circle. I laughed alittle but then something weird happened... I felt a cold wind coming from the upper mountain pass.

"A chilling wind..." Belias said under his breath.

"I know... and last time I checked..." I held my palm out and a snowflake landed on it then soon melted away. "It didn't snow on the Mosphoran Highwaste."

I ran upward onto the higher pass and into the next area which was The Trail of Sky-Flung Stone. Snow was falling and it was getting pretty thick. The cold air up here was so chilling that I almost fainted for asecond until I covered my body in a thin coat of Fire Mist which warmed my body. I had to keep the energy flowing which took out from my total amount of Mist.

From afar it would just look like my body was steaming. "Whoa damn it's cold up here!" Kizer said hiding under Clo's trenchcoat as mist fumed up from his mouth. Clo looked around. "I didn't know it snowed up here in the Mosphoran Highwaste."

" It doesn't." Clo and I responded at the sametime. "Heads up boys, we may have a fight on our hands."

Kizer stood up seriously for a second and pulled out his staff. Almost out of nowhere we felt it, the mist energy of a conformer. The mist in the air was so thick it seemed like gravity had increased 10 fold under us. My eyes widened..." I...I hope whoever this is..." I started with my eyes wide. "I hope he's on our side."

Walking down the trail towards us was a man standing at 6 feet, he had long navy blue spikey hair and palish blue skin with an icy covering over his lips. He wore white samurai armor with blue laces and on his back was a bow and quiver of arrows. He stopped just infront of us breathing out a cold mist from his nose and mouth.

I could sense it in the air, my sensing abilities weren't that great but I could clearly sense this guy's Mist Energy and it was ENORMOUS! He had enough Mist energy in his pinky than I had in my entire body...

" I am the Conformer of Shiva, the Elemental Warrior of Ice...Avihs." He said. Appearing behind him in a light blue aura was Shiva. She wrapped her arms around Avihs' body and rested her head on his neck. She kissed him on his cheek. "Belias, Zodiark and Zaleras...I see...It seems that I was fortunate enough that Adrammalech wasn't with you...but even with my element's weakness being here...there is noway I will lose to the likes of you Espers." He reached to his back and grabbed the bow. The instant he touched it the bow froze over with the ice it transformed into an even bigger bow!

I quickly grabbed Flame Buster from my back and the instant I touched it the cloth unraveled and I pulled it from my back. Chloe raised her fists like Tifa and Kizer pointed his steel staff at him.

" I speak the truth when I say..." Avish started while keeping a straight face. "That you have no chance in defeating me."
