Final Pokémon Fantasy IX
Episode 1:
Return of a Villain
Now, the four of them looked at the young Vivi Jr. outside of the Alexandria Castle, who had just awakened to the new world and was staring right back at them quizzically. "Who're you?" said the young female black mage. "Why are you lookin' at me like that?"
"Consider us your babysitters," Amarant said coolly.
"Or your guardians," Eiko said.
"You too small for food," Quina said, getting a little too close for her comfort.
"QUINA," Zidane growled.
"Oh, sorry," Quina backed away. "Me no eat you."
"Are you Zidane?" she looked at Zidane with double the curiosity Eiko could ever muster.
"Yeah, but how did you know my name?" Zidane was now flummoxed.
"Pops lives in my soul, and he tells me everything. He says to not forget you're 'married' to a 'Dagger', or whatever that means."
"YOU MARRIED HER?!???!!" Eiko tackled Zidane with the force of a Trance Behemoth. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME???!!!"
"I-I-I didn't know!!" Zidane panicked, a sweat drop forming on his face. "I forgot!" With a grimace he had suddenly remembered their forced marriage in Conde Pete. "Why-did she-have to-remember that?"
Eiko went off, roaring like a T-rex. "Hey wait! It wasn't official!" Zidane cried after the outraged Eiko. "Was it...?"
"I guess it was. Lucky you," Amarant sarcastically crowed.
"Is marriage bad?" Vivi Jr. asked.
"Uh... it's bad for the guy who didn't marry, that's for sure," Zidane groped for an explanation. But he couldn't find one, leaving young Vivi Jr. even more confused than she was when Eiko left. "NOW what am I going to do?"
****
"Your Majesty! Do you have ANY idea what this means?" Steiner roared to Dagger, surprisingly happy, waving the certificate he snatched from Dagger when Eiko angrily announced her marriage.
"What?" Dagger had a sweat drop on her head.
"WE HAVE A KING!!!" Steiner danced a jig all over the place. "I didn't know you were married!! So, who are you married to?" Dagger fell over.
"Did you not hear Eiko screaming about it?" Dagger put on her royal tone, still having that sweat drop.
"No..."
"Did you look at the certificate?"
"No..." Steiner looked at it. "It says you are married to... Zidane."
****
Outside, Zidane, Quina, and Amarant could hear a very intensified scream. "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"
"Up, it looks like Steiner found your secret," Amarant smirked at Zidane. "Better go put out the fire."
"You three are coming with me..." Zidane hissed, dragging all three by the arms with one firm iron grip.
"I don't wanna marry..." Vivi Jr. whined.
"Where Freya?" Quina asked.
"She's back building in Burmecia with her lover boy. Too bad she missed the flames," Amarant crowed.
Inside, Zidane and company came face o face with Steiner. "YOU MARRIED THE QUEEN???!!!!" he raged.
"Uhh... I had to." Zidane said quickly.
"Hey, wait!" Vivi Jr. cried. "If she's the queen and Zidane married her, that would make him king, wouldn't it?"
"That's my point," Steiner hissed.
"I'm king...?" Zidane looked at himself. "Incredible... I'M KING!! WHOO HOO HOOO!!!" he bounced around the castle with enough energy to throw the planet off balance. Zidane landed right in front of Steiner. "That means YOU'RE MY PERSONAL SLAVE!!! LUA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
"I think I'm gonna die," Steiner fell over.
"Zidane, please don't," Dagger cooed. "I like him as my bodyguard."
"Okay," Zidane kicked the ground. "But if he tries anything, he'll be giving me backrubs for a LONG time!"
"Sucks for you," Amarant crowed.
"Lay off of Steiner, will ya? Only I'M supposed to insult him," Zidane said. "Now, I have kingly business to do!" he went off with the certificate to announce that he was king.
"Your Majesty!" Beatrix flew into the room and swept a quick bow to Dagger. "I heard you married. Does that mean we have a king?"
"Yeah," Dagger's sweat drop had doubled in size. "Go meet him outside, he's crowing about it to the kingdom." Beatrix went in Zidane's direction. "I can only wander what will happen now..." Dagger continued, completely oblivious to a jolly Madeen and a very outraged Eiko behind her.
****
Kuja looked at the castle, eyeing the splendor. It had been rebuilt quite fast, but he probably couldn't guess why. "Too bad I'll have to destroy you again, my beauty," he whispered. Just then, a chariot with a cage full of nasty monsters backed up next to him. "Hmm? Ah, HERE they are." Pacing to the cage, he whispered inside, "Now, my pretties, go and wreak havoc, but kill no one except Zidane's friends. Bring me Zidane and Queen Garnet here ALIVE. Got it?"
A chorus of roars was the sound of agreement.
"Good," Kuja walked to the driver. "Hey, back up a little bit, will you?" The driver nodded. "I'll tell you when to stop." The driver inched towards the castle. "Back-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-BACK, STOP!" Kuja motioned. The chariot stopped.
Kuja opened the cage. "Uh-oh!" he said in a mock panicked macho voice. Ten Behemoths roared as they invaded the castle.
****
"Hmm? DAGGER!! What happened?!" Zidane re-entered the castle, only to find Dagger hogtied and her rear very sore.
"Eiko and Madeen gave me a 'butt-spanky'. WAHHHH...." Dagger sobbed.
Zidane fumed as he untied his romance. "Ergh. That child has taken it too far..."
"ATTACK!!!" Steiner rushed in, a gash of blood on his face. "King Zidane, escort the queen to a safe place, I beg of you! We're under attack by Behemoths!"
"Holy crap! WHAT??!! Don't fret about us, just make sure everyone else is safe, fight them off if you can, and when this is over, give Eiko a butt-beating!"
Steiner looked at Zidane in confusion for a moment before shrugging and turning around to slice a Behemoth in half that tried to surprise attack them. He then dashed away. "Dagger, I can't stand to see our friends get pummeled. Do you suggest we help or run?"
"The first one!" Dagger cried, pulling out one of Zidane's daggers.
"Heh, you just my kind of lady," Zidane grinned, pulling out his Ultima weapon from a corner. "C'mon, let's go!" the two lovebirds leapt into war.
****
"WHAT'S THAT??!" Vivi Jr. cried, pointing at one of the Behemoths.
"Big ugly monster," Quina said. "We eat it before it eat us!" Quina ripped an Earth Shake on it, but it only seemed to lose its balance.
"Heh, let ME try magic!" Vivi Jr. focused herself before she cast magic. At first nothing happened, but eventually the Behemoth lost control of itself. Vivi Jr. lifted her hand and up went the Behemoth.
"You have psychic power!" Quina cried.
"WHEEE!!" Vivi Jr. began swirling the creature in the air, completely enjoying herself. Quina was watching in awe as well.
Quina suddenly had an idea. "Make it do disco!"
"Umm, how do I do the disco?"
"Your pops knows. Ask him."
After a moment, she cried. "Alright! Here I go!" Just when the Behemoth gained control of itself again and was about to attack them, Vivi Jr. captured it in her psychic grasp again and this time started to do the disco, the monster and Quina following along.
"Hmm?" Zidane looked outside. To his utter confusion, a Behemoth was doing the disco. But so were Vivi Jr. and Quina. "That's WRONG. That's just plain WRONG."
"Tell me about it," Dagger said, a sweat drop forming on her head. But unfortunately a Behemoth pounced on the balcony they were on, causing them to fall.
"AY CRAP!! DAGGER!!" Zidane screamed. Clutching on to her hand, Zidane used his other hand to control Ultima weapon right into the Behemoth's face. This only made it angry. VERY ANGRY. To make things worse, it fell into Trance.
"Creatures can Trance?" Zidane asked incredulously.
The Behemoth laughed, or what Zidane thought as a laugh as it used a slash. And all went black.
****
"Queen! NOOOO!!!" Steiner said as the Behemoth crushed the balcony. In a rage, he fell into Trance and sliced the Behemoth that was attacking him in half. With a quick motion, he sliced yet another Behemoth attacking Beatrix. "Beatrix, we must aid the queen!" He yelled in desperation.
"I suspect foul play, Steiner, we had better hurry," Beatrix said. "I've noticed that they don't even pay attention to anyone else except..."
"Those who defeated Kuja!" Steiner exclaimed. "It is he!"
"Holy crap! You're right!" Beatrix performed a Climhazard to a Behemoth that tried to attack them. "We've got to warn the others!" But it was too late, as the same Behemoth fell under Trance and dealt them a crippling blow.
****
Eiko and Madeen were fighting off yet another Behemoth. Madeen pumped up a holy ray and Eiko, using her racket like a sword, sliced the Behemoth with incredible power. It seemed to be dead, but the young summoner noticed something else. Three Behemoths were doing various things, much to her shock. One had overcome Vivi Jr., Quina, and even Amarant when he came to their aid, happily pouncing on them. Another was trying to subdue Steiner and Beatrix, and was close to succeeding. And the worst was one in Trance, dragging Zidane and Dagger away. She looked at Dagger with extreme guilt, having double-teamed her earlier.
Eiko fell over crying in shame. "W-what have I done?" the Behemoth in their room staggered trying to stand up. "I-I shouldn't have tried to b-b-break them apart." The Behemoth got ready to attack. "D-Do I deserve this f-fate?" she winced as the Behemoth was ready to slash her in two.
"No..." the voice of Madeen was all she heard before she saw a bright flash and Holy consumed the whole castle. Then all went black...(get the picture?)
****
Zidane awoke in the middle of the field. Utterly confused, he started looking around. He saw that no one was in the field, not the Behemoths, not a creature, not even his friends, except-
"Dagger!" he cried weakly. He saw her lying on the opposite side of the field. He hobbled his way toward her. But out of nowhere, another figure stood in his way. That figure was-
"Kuja!" Zidane hissed.
"Yes, my little brother," Kuja said, smiling evilly. "I returned to settle the score with you. Heh, the winner of this battle not only emerges alive-" he turned to Dagger's direction. "-but gets the bride."
"You little...!" Zidane draws out Ultima weapon and already begins to attack. But Kuja is too fast. Our silver-haired villain jumps out the way shoots Demi at Zidane, but remembering a few tricks Steiner taught him, Zidane sliced the spell in mid-leap and slashed Kuja with it, causing Demi to double in power on Kuja.
"Not bad," Kuja said, still having an evil grin on his face. "But still not good enough," Kuja slammed Zidane with a psychokinetic attack. He began levitating. "Now is the time to feel my wrath!" Kuja zapped Zidane with psychokinetic thunder, levitating him in great pain. "At last, I shall have settled the grudge." But something stopped him. Letting Zidane fall to the ground, Kuja watched in shock and awe as the sky grew dark gray and massive thunderbolts began to dance about, splitting apart and making the planet grow. Kuja continued to stare as the same thunderbolts gave rise to new land.
"This is not my power..." Kuja actually felt fear. Not since Garland had told him he would die had he felt fear. This was NOT good.
He had to do something about it.
Heh, I bet you can't guess what commercial I based the Kuja releasing the Behemoths scene comes from. HA! No money bonus if you win. No money loss if you lose. Just your dignity.(j/K)
