Chapter 21
"Ooh," I groaned rolling over, "feels like I just got hit by a truck, where am I now anyways." I sat up and looked around, "Looks like, my room but it's all rearanged," I said taking a deep breath in, "What the... why, so hard to breathe." I clutched my throat gasping for air, What gives, I'm on Earth right, I should have no problem breathing then, unless... Spira's atmosphere is composeddiffrently, so they breathe in diffrent gases? "Need, to figure out... what I breathe," I gasped trying to remember the lesser components of the atmosphere. Well if I remember right then there's no way I breath Nitrogen, that's like over half the air... Oxygen, obviously not... all the other gases are less then 1 if I remember right. "Whoa, what the hell," I heard a very familiar voice say from the door way. I looked up and almost passed out, it was ME. "You... your... me but... I'm me and, can't breathe... need gas to breathe, not Oxygen... dying," I gasped falling backwards. The me that looked like the old me came closer and I noticed as I, err, he did so it was a little eaisier to breathe. "Perfect... I breathe Carbon dioxide, I'm a freakin plant,"
"Dude, you okay," me asked I... err... the old me asked, well, me (it's hard with two me's . ). "Yea, just don't wander to far, The carbon dioxide you breathe out is apparently what I breathe in," I said pushing myself to my feet. "Why do I, feel like I know you," the old me asked. All right, either A) I tell me the truth and probably freak myself out or B) I make up some crappy story that I'll never buy therefore negating this plan and forcing me to tell me anyways... God having two me's hurts my brain. "All right, look, I was gonna tell you some crap story about being from another country, or another planet but you look too smart to buy into it," I complimented myself. "Umm, thanks," the old me said in a questioning tone. "I'm you, but not you, I'm you that got sent to Spira, you know from FFX and FFX-2, remember getting basically blown up by your PS2 a couple years ago," I asked seeing the look on my face turn to one of thought. "I believe you, how could I not after what happened not to long after that," the old me said sounding like he was choking up. I cocked my head to the side curiously, "It took me a while to ralize what they were when they began to appear, but eventually I figured out that they were fiends from FFX, they all ran off after appearing, all of them except one that is," the old me said rage now detectable in his voice. "Umm," I started but being me the old me knew what I was going to ask before I said it. "Seymour Guado sound familiar," the old me asked me.
RAWRL, came a loud noise from the door. One of the huge lizards had just lunged at the human me, "Back off," I yelled giving it a hard uppercut in the chin. It flew back and slumped to the ground. "Thank God, I ran outta ammo for my dad's gun today, only thing keepin' me safe, I was coming in here to grab one of my wooden swords, not like they'll do much good," the old me said sighing. "Wait a sec, how did, I or you get so strong, I mean I'm not exactly Mr. muscle here," he said causing me to laugh. "Come on man, just going there gave me more strength, gotta fight fiends ya' know, and fighting increased my power a lot, and protecting Rikku always seemed to multiply my strength," I said thinking back. "Whoa, you mean to tell me that I, or you, you-me, whatever, Rikku was your girlfriend," he asked shocked. "Yea, and I was an idiot, and she had to kill me," I said instantly seeing the look on his/ my face change, "Oh, yea, I couldn't die unless the one I loved pierced my heart, or I would be absorbed by this freaky thing that looked like me, or if I killed it I would become it." "Ouch man," he said patting my shoulder, "umm, guess it would be bad time to tell ya that Seymour killed our parents as soon as he saw them eh?" I felt rage build up, but no flames appeared, "Hmmm, well that's a new one, normally extreme rage makes my right arm burst into flames, long story," I quickly said to avoid telling the whole story of what happened.
"Well that just defies all the basic laws of physics here, maybe they're a little diffrent in Spira," the old me stated. "You not having as much power as you did in Spira is bad considering theres whole armies of fiends outside, some manage to sneak in, which is why I needed my dad's gun, works wonders on em'" he said with a goofy look. "So does my fist," I said rotating my shoulder a bit. "So where's Seymour now," I asked but didn't have to wait long to get an answer. "I knew I felt your accursed presence again, now I can destroy you completely, all I need do is kill this weak you and you die as well," I heard Seymour's creepy voice cackle. I shuddered, "Seymour, I bet you can't use your magic here can you," I taunted. He lunged at me punching at me with his human hand and flailing the claw like guado hand at me.
"ENOUGH," came a booming voice from no where, "you fools, I'm tired of all this bickering, everything and anything that does not belong outside the world of Spira, I shall seal it all away, for all eternity," Suddenly a feeling came over me, as if I was being pulled away. "You, me come here," I said, "make sure you write this story down, from my perspective," I continued raising a questioning look from myself, "just come here!" He came closer and I reached out and touched his forehead, I concentrated hard and sent every last feeling and memory I had of Spira to him, he passed out and I was drawn away throught the wall, faster then I had ever moved before. "Now I must seal all of this away, so I may return it to Spira, it will take time so I must try and make the seal as strong as possible," came the booming voice from nowhere. "He is linked, he will know all that I know until," and then darkness. That was the last I could say to myself, it sealed away that alternate me in some sort of shadow, and now I live happily here, all by myself, Seymour had destroyed most of the town, I had no choice but to travel elsewhere.
However when I went to the spot where I, the one from Spira, had been sealed I found something very interesting. "This sword, it feels all to familiar in my hands, yet it brings great pain into my heart, and I'm not quite sure why," I said, "I promised that I would write this all down though, maybe then I'll know why. So now I know why the sword pains my heart so, it will always remind me of Rikku and the choice I caused her to make, me or her entire world.
That means the end, now go eat a sanwhich or somethin, or you know... a review would be nice too )
