Weekend at Beatrix's
Part Two of Two
Written by N. Dagger (Liberate Ayane)
A/N- OW! I passed AOHell's Text Limit. Here's Part Two, and It IMMEDATLY picks up where the last left off, so read the first chapter. Enjoy!
----
We Last Left Off Where the gang jumped out to go after Steiner.
"Hey! Wait up daddy!" Mimi shouted, as she and her sister raced to the window. A Guard came and held them back.
"You are only children. Besides, you cannot follow them. You are kids." The Guard said. Bibi kicked one guard and Mimi cast Sleep on the other guards. They nodded and raced out the window after their friends.
"We gotta help! Let's go Bibi!"
"Okay Mimi!"
-----
Eiko came running up on Fenrir and waved to the others. She had a report on Steiner and where he was with Beatrix's corpse.
"Phoenix tells me she saw Steiner run into Qu's Marsh. We might wanna look there." Eiko reported. Dagger nodded and jumped onto Fenrir.
"Damn Rusty's fast. How'd he get to Qu's Marsh in such short time?" Zidane groaned, his leags wearing out. Eiko looked at Zidane and smiled. She held up a Chocobo Tetra Master Card. He slapped his forehead and and groaned again.
"Figures...."
Everyone hopped onto Fenrir and rode to the Marsh, but were temporarily stopped by Mimi and Bibi, who were following them. Vivi groaned, because he didn't want his daughters getting caught up in this chase.
"Mimi! Bibi! You were supposed to stay at the caslte!" Vivi said over the wind.
"You didn't say that daddy! You guys just left! We wanted to follow!" Bibi shouted over the wind. With that, Freya helped Mimi up onto the wolf Eilodon and Amarant helped Bibi up onto Fenrir.
"You really should've stayed behind. This isn't child's play." Amarant said to Bibi. Bibi shrugged her shoulders and went up to her sister Mimi and her dad Vivi. In no time, they were at Qu's Marsh.
"Well, that was quick." Eiko muttered as they got off and rushed intot he marsh. But they were temporarily haled by Mogster for some quesitons.
"Hey! You can't proceed further unless you answer the three questions, and you! The tall blue one over there, shall answer!" Mogster said, pointing to Amarant. He groaned and walked up to Mogster.
"Question One- What do you think of Bibi?"
"She's cute, but stupid like her dad."
Bibi filled with love and was overly happy. Amarant thought she was cute! From now on, she was going to like Amarant. The Mog, who was asking the questions from nowhere, asked another.
"Two- Why am I asking questions?"
"Becuase you have no frickin free time whatsoever."
"WRONG!" With that, Amarant went flying, and Bibi chased after him. Vivi saw his 4 year old daughter running and he went after her also. Dagger sighed and resumed the quesiton asking.
"Let me ask you Mogster- why are YOU asking questions? You wouldn't come up out of nowhere and ask us something right?" The Queen asked. The Mog shrugged his shoulders and responded-
"I have no idea."
With that, Mogster went flying off into the horizon. Dagger sighed, and then Zidane saw someone slinking by, which looked like Steiner. Zidane immedatly went into action.
"RUSTY! GET YOUR SHINY ASS BACK HERE AND GIVE US BEATRIX!"
With that, Zidane chased Steiner across the plains, with Steiner yelling:
"I love her! Don't take her!"
"Whatever! Just hand her over! Get this over with! Get this over with you lousy ass!"
Dagger sighed and headed back to the castle. She brough the others with her too.
"Let's go, this could go on."
-----
Enough of that, let's go to Zidane and Steiner's chase on the plains.
"Get Back here!" Zidane shouted as the two hoofed it across the plains. Steiner kept running, although Beatrix's corpse and his heavy armor were keeping him down, he had to get away from that ruffian, cause he was going to take away the one he loved.
"NEVER!!!"
"ALL RIGHT!!! YOU ASKED FOR IT!!! I'M GONNA ENJOY THIS!!!" Zidane shouted. He used this 'Theivery' skill and with it, blew The Captain away behind Zidane.... not a good move when you really think about it. The thief sighed and turned around, resuming chase from behind.
"STAY AWAY YOU!!!" Steiner shouted somemore, throwing rocks and brick at Zidane, who for some strange reason was untouched. That's one of the perks of being the main charecter right? Anyways, back to the chase.
"COME ON!!!! PERHAPS DAGGER WON'T BURY IT!!!!" Zidane shouted once more (alot of shouting eh?). But he couldn't see Steiner in sight. He stopped temporarily and thought-
"Where would I go if I was carrying a corpse of an ass-ugly woman? Hmmm..."
But ZIdane then got the blunt side of Steiner's 'Excalibur 2' Swoard, and Zidane fell over and Steiner smiled, holding Beatrix's dead corpse. (Gartuious wordage of corpse eh?)
"You can't take her! I love her! Come Beatrix! To the place we first fell in love!"
With that, Steiner ran off, and Zidane was surrounded by Chocobos. They all looked at each other and shrugged their wing feathers at the unconsious ZIdane.
"Kweh?"
"Kweh. Kweh."
"Ehhh.... Auntie Em? Is that you?"
"Kweh......"
=======
Sunday, December 10, Alexandria Castle
At the Castle... Dagger is most displeased at Zidane.... go figure.
"Zidane... as much as I love you... that was really stupid."
Zidane rubbed his head and Eiko came with ice, smiling. Zidane took it and patted the little summonder on the head and she went off blushing. He put the ice on his head and groaned.
"He got me there... but I did hear where he was going next with that wretched thing." Zidane said in between seething pain. Dagger sat up in her throne and went next to the tailed boy.
"Where?"
"Where he and Beatrix first fell in love."
Eiko jumped up from her chair and went outside. She knew where that was, and she suddenly felt guilt.
"ACK!!! He must've gotten that letter I was going to give to you...... NOOOOO!!!!! I STARTED THIS!!!! Wait... Baku was going to give you the letter.... DAMN BAKU!!! Grrr...."
Vivi patted Eiko on the back, and asked her something.
"Where is this?"
"Near the dock where you get to the city. I think."
Before Eiko could lift her head up, everyone, even Bibi and Mimi, were gone. She shook her fist and said in anger.
"I HATE it when they do this."
--------
When they all got there (In some mysterious form or another), they found Rusty caressing Beatrix's hair and him saying all sorts of romatic mush, that was mush enough to make Zidane gag, and Dagger hit him over the head with her Mulitina Racket.
"Ouch! Why'd you do that?"
"You are ruing a romantic, yet somewhat necrophilac moment." Dagger snapped. Everyone was hush-hush over this, and then Eiko came in, and ruined the moment.
"hey! Let's take her away from him now!"
Eiko was met by a flury of gil thrown at her. She ran off, into the other courtyard, screaming that she was being petled by other guards. Vivi tripped her and Eiko ran off some more.
"I get your point!"
When Eiko left, they all silently snuck up a group behind Steiner, and I mean as a group. They were bunched together, like a head of lettuce. Zidane franticaly reached for his Mythril Dagger and he casual wen tup behind the knight and said, plainly.
"Get him."
With that, everyone, including Eiko, went in for a free for all on the hulking knight.
"OUCH!" Steiner screamed, getting kicked in the shin by Vivi. Vivi was in turn hit by Dagger accidentialy by her Racket, Zidane knocked her over, Zidane was thrown into Steiner by Amarant, Bibi started leg hugging Amarant, Freya was Jumping high into the air, Mimi was casting Haste on Quina, who was eating everyone's weapons it seemed. Eiko was casting various magic on anyone that got in her way, even Mog.
"Kupo!"
"Sorry Mog!"
"HEY!! WATCH THE HAIR!"
"GET THIS HELLISH MAGE OFF OF MY LEG!"
"ZIDANE! JUST FOR THAT, WE WON'T GET MARRIED!"
"DAMN!"
"Hee hee!"
Fists were flying, clothes were torn. Blood came and burises stayed. No one knew when this free-for-all would end, and they didn't care, just to get that smelly corpse away from Steiner long enough to restore Beatrix.
"Come on Mimi!"
Under all the fighting, Mimi and Bibi with their dad Vivi snuck the corpse out from the fight and took it to Doctor Tot, who was in the library. The fight stopped when Eiko saw the mages trot off with the dead General.
"HEY! They got Beatrix away!"
"NOOOOOO!!! MASTER VIVI NO!!! I LOVE HER!!!"
"Suck it in like a man!"
Zidane punched Steiner in the stomach and the fighting resumed. Vivi looked at this after they took to corpse to Doctor Tot, and he plainly sighed-
"Such immaturity."
Vivi fell over.
*Thud*
"Owwwww..."
But a few minutes after Vivi fell over, Sir Fratley entered the free-for-all, proclaiming-
"My dearest Freya!!! I have come back to you!"
"Fratley?"
With that, Freya and Fratley left the fighting and Zidane was confused. He asked Vivi-
"What was that all about?"
"Oh, Fratley got his memory back after we ran by him with Beatrix's dead corpse."
"Oh yeah.... thanks!"
=======
That Evening.... everyone was at the castle, recuperating from the fight that day. Actually, a few minutes earlier, at Doctor Tot's room at the Castle, he and the mages saw a procession of hurt and bruised people walk in. Vivi couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Heh heh.... that's what you get for fighting."
"Oh whatever..." Zidane groaned, his arms broken and his head bleeding.
"Zidane... this is all your fault. Just for that, we won't get married." Dagger scolded, her left arm broken and her leg limp.
"I had fun, eat lotsa yummie weapons!" Quina proclamed, it's head wrapped in bandages. Following Quina, came Freya and Fratley, The Female Dragon Warrior was hurt, with a few bruises and a black eye, Fratley wasn't injured, but happy, and so was his lady.
"Fratley, you sure do wonders.. I forgot how good you were."
"Tis Nothing Freya..." The two kissed, and Zidane made a gagging noise. Eiko and Dagger whacked him on the head with rackets and he went screaming off, for they had hit him on a place where got hurt. Following him was Amarant, who was now being followed by Bibi.
"Let me play nurse!" Bibi pleaded.
"I hate kids... especally you." Amarant grumbled, his right eye black and his right arm broken, and his leg all red from blood. Bibi giggled and continued following him, and then came Steiner, saddended that his Beatrix was taken away from him.
"My Beatrix.... why Master Vivi?"
"She had to go. We made her look nice, so she wouldn't look disgusting, right Doctor Tot?"
"Yes Vivi. Steiner, I'll go show you, hold on a sec." With that, the tiny doctor left the room, and Dagger consoled her Protector by giving him a few words of advice.
"You'll get over it. SHe was a good General. Too bad she died by accident. She will sorely be missed."
Steiner sighed and walked away, but not before Doctor Tot came running into the room in sheer panic. His face was pale and he looked shocked.
"Oh my! It's gone!"
"What's gone?" Freya asked, breaking away long enough from Fratley to say something. Doctor Tot gasped and ran into his lab.
"Beatrix's Body.. It's missing!"
Everyone looked at Steiner, who didn't have it.
"Don't suspect me! I was here the whole time!"
Everyone started looking, and when Eiko saw Quina eating a pair of reddish tights and boots, she nearly died herself. She walked up to Zidane and stammered-
"I-I-I think I found Beatrix..." She pointed to Quina who was smacking it's lips. It looked at the gang and shrugged it's shoulders, giving it's crtique on the meal.
"Taste like wax lips, good like candy!"
"Oh no... don't tell me you ate her!" Zidane gasped, in disgust and horror. Quina nodded it's head and left the room, and everyone groaned, Stiner started breaking down in the loudest crying fit that men like him wouldn't be capable of!
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
Everyone cringed and Dagge said to the others-
"Come on, let's go."
With that, everyone left the room, and Steiner cried some more, but Zidane kneeled over and consoled the hulking knight the best he could.
"Hey, there are other fish in the sea. You'll find another girl. Beatrix was a bitch." Zidane said, sitting down, looking out the window.
"But she was my bitch!" Steiner whined like a little child. Disgusted, Zidane left the room,s aying nothing. Steiner was left alone, and soon fell asleep. Outside, Dagger looked at the thief and asked-
"Well?"
"He a lost case. Let's go."
With that, the gang left the castle to get drunk or get healed from their injuries. Oh well.... and Quina later got indegestion from Beatrix's corpse.
"Ohh..I feel sick.. I throw up..." Quina groaned. Amarant and Bibi looked at the Qu, and Amarant clearly stated-
"Don't do it on me, do it on her." he pointed ot Bibi and she got all happy. Quina, who couldn't hold it in any longer, threw up on the both of them.
*HAAAAAAAACK!!!*
"SPEEEEEEEWWW!" Bibi cried, covered in God-Knows-What. Amarant sluged Quina and the Qu went flying to God-Knows-Where also.
"Hey! I'm covered like you! Look! I got Beatrix's Eye Patch! Can we hug?" Bibi said. Amarant gasped and ran off away from the vomit covered mage.
======
Epilouge:
"You highness? We received word from the Kingdom of Novelheim- King Avetarez wishes for his son Alfred and his fiancee to be married here in a year."
Dagger looked at the knight, then was handed the note.
"So the royal family will be staying here until then, huh?" She glanced across the note a few more times before it sunk in.
"Yes, Your Highness. A week shall pass before they will arrive, though."
Dagger said nothing as she looked out upon the night. But she did have many thoughts.
'It seems like this story won't be over yet.....'
*The End.. of Weekend at Beatrix's*
