Lloyd: What you thinking about?
Me: What's it matter to someone who don't think at all?
Lloyd: Hey!
Me: What? It's true!
Lloyd: …
Me: Only Kratos can do that!
Lloyd: Sorry.
Me: Humph! Anyways, I was wondering how I can have 3500+ hits and only 84 reviews. It kinda gets me depressed though cause I've gotten so many hits but so few reviews. (sigh) Anyways, I can't believe Last night's ep of Naruto! It was so cool! Sasuke used the Chidori and Orochimaru is attempting to kill the Hokage!
Lloyd: wha?
Me: Its Naruto you dumbass!
Lloyd: Naru what?
Me: Grr! You idiot! It's only the most kickass Ninja anime in the world! You know what I realized, how come most animes have a pervert? ToS has Wilder (I'm using his last name for a reason folks!), Naruto has Jiarya and Kakashi (I'm counting his Obsession with Ichi Ichi Paradise.), Bleach has Kon, Pokemon (Yes Pokemon!) has Brock (I call him a perv cause of his fascination with woman.).
Lloyd: What the hell are you talking about?
Me: Wow! That was really random for me. (Sigh) it doesn't matter. Just start the story.
Lloyd: Ok, whatever. Jen Rem doesn't own ToS or FF, only Tiamatt, the Oblivion Blade, and Ash, Kayla's character.
(A/N: This chapter is in Third person most of the time except for the flashback sequences, which will be in Kayla's)
"Mommy!" The child's voice rang through my head. I turned rushing to help my child who was being attacked by a dragonhunter. The small child was no older then five years old and his dark hair hung over his eyes.
"Ah!" the cry came from Nick, my mate, just a few feet away as the poison blade of a hunter pierced his stomach. A few seconds later, the cry of my son met my ears and I could feel the tears well up in the corners of my eyes. "Ash! Run!" Nick pleaded before the hunter cut his throat.
"Your next Dragon!" a hunter sneered as the dozen elite soldiers formed a circle around me. I spread my wings, and leapt into the air but not before a barrage of arrows blocked my path. I tried to dodge them but one hit…
Kayla sat straight up, sweat dripping down her face as the horrible nightmares of her new body filled her dreams.
"Are you ok?" Vincent asked a few feet away. He was wrapped tightly in his crimson cape; his matching eyes glowing in the fading darkness as the sun began to rise.
"Yeah. I was just having a nightmare." Kayla replied trying to get the memory out of her head but as hard as she tried, it wouldn't go away. "How does Imoto deal with this?" She sighed. Suddenly, the dragoness shuddered.
"You felt it too?" Vincent asked.
"Yeah. What was it?" Kayla wondered.
"It was a fucluation in the Lifestream or as some call it in this world, Mana." Vincent replied. "Something strange has happened and I believe it has something to do with Tiamatt."
"Imoto…" Kayla whispered hoping her best friend was ok.
"I believe it involves both Tiamatts." Vincent told her.
"Oh." Kayla replied. "Hey Vince?"
"What is it?"
"Um… I just want to apologize for the other day. I'm not like that usually but I guess I was just really excited about everything. I mean this is like a dream come true being in a world that was only a game in mine and then having Imoto back. I was so happy when I saw her again." Kayla explained. "I didn't mean to rush you into anything." The dragoness looked sincerely embarrassed for the incidents the day before.
"Humph. Don't worry about it. It wasn't completely your fault." The gunman replied calmly. Kayla looked shocked that he was admitting this. "I took Tiamatt's words too seriously, though there was truth in them." Vincent sighed, his memories flickering back to Luceria. "We should get moving."
"Ok. But where are we going?" Kayla asked, standing up.
"I am not sure. We were told to search this world for anything from our worlds."
"Maybe we should have asked Imoto for a map." The dragoness sighed as she clipped her new sword to her belt. "We can probably get one in a city though."
"Yes. I believe there is one nearby." Vincent agreed.
Soon the two otherworlders restarted their quest, heading for Asgard to purchase a map. As they traveled together, they told each other of their past and of themselves.
"Well that's about it for little old human me." Kayla sighed as she finished telling him what had happened on Gaia. "Now what about you?" Vincent looked hesitant to tell about himself.
"…"
"Well?" Kayla pressed.
"Why don't you tell me about this form you have now first?" Vincent asked, trying to stall his own horrible story.
"This body…well, Ash is a dragon, kinda like Tiamatt but also not like Tiamatt. Ash, I guess, is half dragon kinda like Tia but she's part human hence this form. To make her story short and sweet, she is a master weapons smith and a master of most swords. She had a family and watched her mate and her children be killed before her eyes. After that, she concentrated on killing all dragonhunters and studying powerful dark spells." Kayla said sadly, feeling Ash's own pain.
"I am sorry." Vincent whispered, knowing exactly what it was like to lose someone you love.
Kayla didn't reply and remained silent. After several minutes, Vincent sighed and decided to tell Kayla of h is own past.
"My past was harsh and full of pain. I used to work for the Shinra Corporation as a Turk. My love was a woman named Luceria but Hojo had is eye on her too. She wen with him and married him, after which she agreed to take part in the Jenova Project by allowing Hojo to inject their unborn child with the Calamity's cells. I tried to stop this from happening but Hojo shot me, nearly killing me. He then began his own cruel experiments on me and turned me into what I am today." Vincent told the woman beside him, his eyes glazing over. "After I recovered from the ordeal, I learned that Luceria had died giving birth to Sephiroth. I took her death badly and considered it my sin for letting her die, so I slept for over twenty years, never aging, never dying. Years later, during Meteorfall, Cloud and the others found me in the Shinra Mansion and I joined them in the hopes of encountering Hojo. Tiamatt also desired to kill Hojo, which was one of the reasons why she traveled with the group. After Hojo and Sephiroth's deaths, I secluded myself until the Remnants began their rampage on Edge in the Search for Jenova. A year after that, I had to face the demons of my past but after that my life was relatively peaceful." Vincent finally finished and he looked at Kayla, whose eyes were wide in shock.
"I'm sorry." She said quietly.
"Humph. I do not want anyone's sympathy." The ex-Turk scolded.
"Ok but Vince, how come you don't age?" Kayla asked, curious about that since he said he had slept for some twenty odd years.
"I do not age because of Chaos, the result of Hojo's experimentation on me." Vincent replied.
"Chaos? Imoto told me about that. She actually showed it to me one day I think before I moved away but I'm not sure." Vincent blinked in surprise at this. "In my world, yours is a game and Imoto has this odd fascination with it. She would never shut up about how she wished the game was real and how she wished that Sephiroth hadn't been a bad guy."
"Humph." Vincent looked amused by this.
"Man! I need to shut up! I sound like… like, grrr, I sound like Imoto!" Kayla screamed. Vincent chuckled at this as Kayla finally calmed down and Asgard came into view.
Me: Haha! I got a Vince/Kay chapter up!Lloyd: I thought you were gonna do this last night.
Me: I was but AM had to call and stall me so GRRR!!!
Lloyd: I surprised you're ignoring a threat from a reviewer about not writing a Tiamatt getting rescued chapter right away.
Me: I would have (well kinda but I have slightly different plans) but I already had half this chapter typed so sorry. Anyways, read and Review please!
