On to Chapter 3!
Serge sighed. For the past few days, he, Kid, Glenn(whos was assuming the shape of a candle holder), and Karsh(the clock with purple hair) had been travelling North, towards Termina. Kid said that Lucca may know how to rid the curse of Serge and his family and friends. When the reached the entrance of Termina, a depressing sight met the weary young travellers' eyes.
The town was completely empty.
Kid was furious at this. "You're tellin' me..." she fumed, "That we came all the bloody way down here...
TO REACH A BLOODY GHOST TOWN?!" She fell onto her knees, distraught by all this. Glenn said," It appears to be so-" "SHUT UP, CANDLE STICK HOLDER!" Kid barked at Glenn, who was wise enough to shut his mouth. "Dammit.."Serge cursed under his breath. "We were so close.." Then Karsh cut in. "Uh..guys? Aren't you wondering exactly WHY the town is empty?" Kid suddenly realized. "Oi! The old clock here's right! Where in the bloody hell is ev'rybody?" "I suggest that we look around town for now..to see if we can find anything that'll tell us what's happening.." said Serge.
--------10 minutes later---------
After a thourough search of the town, the group came across the portrait artist hiding behind one of the shrines. Before they could even say anything, the portrait maker cried, "IT WAS SERGE!!!"and fell to his knees, sobbing. Serge(who is in Lynx's body, 'member?) raised an eyebrow. "Do you know-" "NIKKI!! NIKKI KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT HIM!!!" The artist interuppted, still sobbing. "Oooo-kay. Thanks fer yer help, gramps," said Kid, as she started searching the town for this 'Nikki' character. They had just walked past a poster when Kid realized the words "Nikki" printed on it, each letter about 10 inches long. Serge stared at the poster. "THAT'S....Nikki...!?" he said. "He looks like a...a...." "GIRL!!!" yelled Karsh. Glenn, who apparently had mistaked Nikki for a girl, fell over. "WHAT?!" He cried, staring at the poster from the ground. Serge just shrugged and said, "We may as well look for him..." And with that, he started off towards the docks.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
2 minutes later, the party came across the first sign of life other then them and the artist, staring at the ocean, holding a brass pick. It was the famed male on the poster that looked female, Nikki. He was just
getting through a song about his sister or something like that, when Kid jumped in front of him. "WOULD YA SHUT UP ALREADY?! WE'RE LOOKIN' FOR THIS BLOODY SERGE CHARACTER, AND THE PORTRAIT ARTIST SAID YOU KNEW BLOODY SOMETHIN' ABOUT 'IM!!" Kid fumed angrily.
"WELL I DO KNOW ABOUT THE GUY YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! NOW IF YOU WOULD BE SO KIND AS TO-" Nikki stopped short and stared at Kid. He picked up his sentence. "-Go out with me..I'd be happy to tell you what I know." Nikki drooled, and Serge jumped in front of Kid. "Ha Ha Ha..Ha..Ha...HA.." he said, a little louder then needed, with a hint of jealousy in his voice. "Just tell us, please." "Sheesh! If I'd a known she was YOUR girl, I wouldn't have asked her out in the first place! Soooooorrry!" said Nikki, as Kid's and Serge's faces turned redder then sunburned tomatos with bad fevers. "JUST TELL US ALREADY!!" Serge snapped, still blushing. "Fine, fine.." said Nikki. "Just don't bite my head off or claw me to death, cat man.." Serge rolled his eyes. Nikki continued, "Ok...I saw that Serge guy.....He's got blue hair and blue eyes..He's wearin' all black....like the outfit you're wearin', except.." Nikki glanced up at Serge's hat. "He's got a skull on his cap." Serge looked at Nikki square in the eye. "Are you sure?" Nikki stumbled back because of the sheer force of the stare. "Y-Yeah...he..he can command thousands of monsters..I heard that he's got his own army..and that he's at Hermit's Hideaway right now..." Serge's expression brightened. "Really? Ok. Thanks, man." He ran off, with Nikki at his heels. "WAIT!! I wanna help you....can I go with you guys??" Serge glanced at Kid. Obviously, she didn't want him to join just as much as she wanted to run around naked screaming, ' Lookit me! I'm an idiot', but Serge had to agree, Nikki knew something. "Er..ok..I guess.." He said to Nikki. "Rockin'!" Nikki said. Kid rolled her eyes and gave Serge a look that plainly said, 'Why me?'
Serge sighed sadly. It was gonna get interesting from now on...
