Chapter 4: Hermit's Hideaway, here we come!!!



DISCLAIMER:Ya know the drill. I dun own Squaresoft so dun sue.

Somewhere, in a cave, a small, pink haired figure laughed maniacally (Which was a futile attempt, for she was too cute.) as she gazed into a small globe showing the image of what looked like a half broken crystal. "Soon Serge, soon..." she said evilly(Another futile attempt). "Faaiirryyy soon... My fairy evil plan will be carried out, and the world will be mine!! MWAHAHAHAHA-" she broke into a fit of coughs. "I really need to work on that laugh.." And with that, she walked back into the shadows of the cave.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kid gazed out at the ocean from her seating place at the boat. 'I wonder where Lucca is..' she though, resting her cheek on her fist.Serge looked over at Kid, concerned. He put his arm around her shoulders. "We'll find her..I promise..." Kid looked at Serge momentarily, then she looked at the bottom of the boat. "I hope you're right.." she muttered. "Cuz sure as bloody hell I ain't gonna give up Sis without a fight.." Kid was down because they had found out that Lucca had been abducted by a young boy who called himself 'Serge'. But of course, they knew it wasn't Serge(DUH!!!-.-"). Kid was worried about how Lucca was doing, and Serge was doing his best to comfort her. Kid had calmed down considerably when they had reached Hermit's Hideaway.Nikki, as always, was shaking in his platformed boots(that looked strangely like a woman's...), while Glenn and Karsh were having an argument about how Hermit's Hideaway was burnt down.
"I say.." started Karsh. "That somebody came there and burnt it down." "Well, I think that the old man there accidently burned it down." "Now how could that have possibly happened?!" Karsh said, trying to outdo Glenn. Glenn was about to answer, but was interrupted by a giant wave washing them to the shore of Hermit's Hideaway. "That.."said Glenn annoyedly. "Helped." Shaking and nervous, Kid,Serge,Glenn,Karsh, and Nikki stepped out of the boat. They trekked to the Hideaway, Nikki complaining every few minutes about his shoes getting ruined or his make-up screwing up, while Karsh either made a wisecrack about him or everyone telling him to shut up. When they finally got there, they found it in shambles. Thin wisps of smoke were curling out of the pitch black wood, like it had been recently burned. The group was about to proceed into the burned hut, when suddenly, they heard a voice(N/A:it was a very very sexy voice, mind you!*is a HUGE fan of Dark Serge*)behind them. "Hah hah! So you're finally here, Serge!" The group whipped around to see a boy. He wasn't a normal boy, though. He wasn't normal because of his sea-blue hair and beautiful sea blue eyes. He had a small black hat with a tiny skull on it, and was wearing a gold-trimmed cloak. He also was holding a scythe with the blade slung over his shoulder. His name was Dark Serge, and he was here to get rid of the true Serge, whom he'd had switched bodies with. Serge's eyes narrowed. "Lynx.." he growled under his breath. "Lynx?! Who in th' bloody hell is THAT?" asked Kid, looking from Serge to Dark Serge. "Oh! He's the guy you switched bodies with-" something suddenly clicked in Kid's head. "HE'S the guy that burned down my house!!" She took out her dagger from the sheath at her waist, and jumped at Dark Serge, about to strike him. "KID! DON'T!!!!" Serge cried, but it was too late. Dark Serge had struck her down, and she was knocked backwards into Serge. Serge grabbed her, and looked at the deep gash in her stomach. "Heh Heh..Serge..Get 'im for me...will ya...?" Kid aburptly passed out, and Serge held her tightly. He glared at Dark Serge, put Kid down, and unsheathed his sword, ready for a battle he'd never forget..

To Be Continued...
