Final Fantasy: The Dark Times:Chapter 1



*Authors note: This is the first chapter to my Final Fantasy: The Dark Times. This is my revision of the Chapter, because origionally there was alot of cursing, and it was total nonsense, so I hope you like the revision!*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A small light flickers in a window. A candle lit on someones table. We notice a pen
lying beside a piece of paper and envelope. The letter reads:

"Dear Edgar,
It has been a long time. I have not heard from you in a year or two now, and I'm
starting to get worried. Is everything alright down there? Well, if you get this or not, I'm
coming to the castle. Still in the middle of the desert I presume? Ha Ha Ha!!
Well, See you soon Brother,
--Sabin."

Sabin never sent the letter though, because he heard some tragic news...
Edgar had been kidnapped.

Sabin left the town of Narshe and started a hike south to the castle of Figaro. He had never
imagined the dangers that could be waiting for him. He walked and walked. It was quite
boring, but he had to make it to the castle. He needed to talk to the gaurds and townsfolk
to see if he could get any information.

Sabin had been walking for hours now, and was finally getting to the desert. It was
barren. All he could see were cactai and sand dunes.

Sabin walked into the desert and started to get a little dry on the throat. He opened up
his flask to take a drink of his water, but there seemed to be none left. He started to feel
hot, and thought he seen an oasis. As he walked over to it, and went to fill up his flask,
the oasis started to change. Not like a normal illusion you would see in the desert, but
different. Sabin took a step back.

Before the oasis had completely formed it's new shape, Sabin had already realized
what it was. Kefka, in his Magi-Tek Armor.
"MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!You shall die you worthless piece of rejected crap!!," screamed Kefka.
"Not in this life time you sick freak!," replied Sabin.
A glowing light started at the end of Kefka's machine. At the nick of time, Sabin
lunged out of the way of a Fire Beam, followed by a roll to dodge barely an Ice Beam.
"Your not gonna get me that easy Kefka!!," hollared Sabin as he felt
the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. He could feel the rage building up inside, he
could feel all the hatred for Kefka burning at his soul. The pain he was feeling was
beyond describable. Pain for his brother, because he now knew who had kidnapped
Edgar.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY BROTHER!!!???!!!," Sabin screamed, near
breaking his own eardrums.
Kefka replied in a deep raspy voice, "Wouldn't you just like to know? It's too bad you
won't live for his FUNERAL!!!"
Funeral... Funeral... Funeral... The words echoed inside Sabins head, like when a child
hollars in a cave by the ocean, only it wasn't pleasant. Sabin could feel himself explode.
"YOU WILL DIE FOR KILLING MY BROTHER YOU PSYCHOTIC FREAK!!!"

As he said those words, Kefka's Armor fired 3 Tek Missles at Sabin. As one flew past
Sabins head, one flew past his right leg, and at that moment Sabins mighty Aura Beam
was unleashed to blow away the other missle.
He unleashed another Aura Beam and watched in slow motion while it made contact to
Kefka's Magi-Tek armor. Slow motion while the Armor exploded.
A tear ran from Sabins eye as he watched the burning wreck.
"I will avenge your life dear brother, whether I have to kill every last Imperial Soldier, or
die trying."

Sabin turned around and started walking away, but as he did, he heard a cough. A very
silent sound, but he could distinguish as a cough. He turned around and seen Kefka,
standing lone, with his sword drawn.
"I shall not die peasant, but you shall," Kefka moaned.
At the speed of light, Kefka flew by Sabin, slicing a deep gash into his arm. Blood ran
down Sabins arm and dripped, speckling onto the hot sand.
As Sabin turned around to face his enemy, he found the cowardness in Kefka.
"Not this time!!! You just wait!!," Kefka hollared, "You'll be sorry for messing with
me Sabin! I am the Lord of Darkness!".

At that, Kefka was almost gone out of sight riding on a chocobo.

"Damn," Sabin said to himself, "Isn't that just a way to end a battle with a long lost foe. Next time Kefka, Next time indeed".


*Author's Note: OK, so that is my revision of Chapter 1. It's got less cursing and it's more family appropriate so I can get more people to read my stories! OK, if you like the new revision, REVIEW! Chaos is forever. . .*
