Final Fantasy: The Dark Times: Chapter 4
*Authors note: OK, I've recieved numerous emails and a few reviews asking me to introduce characters. But one thing is starting to get on my nerves. People keep saying "Don't Introduce Kain", "Kain is Boring". One question for you who wrote that (with no offence meant), Kain is in FF2 dumbass. He just doesn't appear in a FF3 Story, and hopefully, never will.*
Sabin and Mog continue on their journey through the jungle of Daemonia.
"How much further to the shrine?," asked Sabin.
"Only about another five minutes or so. We'll be able to tell when we are getting close, because it is said in the scrolls you will hear a faint bongo drum, just very faintly, and the more you try to listen, the harder it gets to hear.", replied Mog.
"Well, I don't hear anything yet Mog," said Sabin jokingly, but at that exact point in time, he started hearing it. Sabin jumped, scared. Mog expected something like this to happen, and wasn't the least bit startled.
"We're close", he said.
Sabin took a few steps ahead, then tripped.
"Are you OK Sabin?," asked Mog.
"Yeah I am," replied Sabin in a bit of a choked voice, "But what did I trip on?"
Sabin stood up and looked around where he had tripped. He noticed a bit of a shine coming from underneath a small patch of moss, "What's that?," wondered Sabin as he cleared some of the moss away. He cleaned it totally off.
Underneath the pile of moss was something they didn't expect to find. An Esper.
"It's the esper!," declared Mog, "But where is this evil demon we're supposed to fight?"
"Maybe its already dead!," said Sabin, "Or maybe it's really scared of us! Ha ha ha!!"
A sudden darkness clouded the heroes. The last thing Sabin saw was a crooked scythe cut into the ground directly in front of his head on the damp, soft ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sabin awoke. He could see Mog tied up in the corner of the room. "A room? Wasn't I just in the jungle?," he thought aloud. "Mog! Are you OK?," he hollared.
Mog twitched a bit, then his eyes opened. They weren't Mogs cute little blue-black eyes though. They were red. A deep glowing crimson. Crimson like the color of blood. . .
"Well Good morning Sabin," said Mog in a deep raspy voice. "Did you have a nice sleep? How were your dreams Sabin?"
"They weren't as freaky as this one," he muttered. "If this is a dream, I might as well play along with it," he thought to himself.
"Come untie me please Sabin," said Mog as his eyes turned back to their normal color.
"What if I decide not to?," he said back.
Mog replied by saying, "I won't be able to help you fight the creature that tied me up and left me all helpless and defenceless".
"I don't think I'm going to untie you. I think you're just an evil monster pretending to Mog, and when I untie you, you're going to kill me," Sabin said in voice ringing with some sort of a hidden victory in his own mind.
All of a sudden, a voice yelled from the other side of the room, "It IS a trap!!!"
Sabin turned around and seen Mog standing in a doorway.
"I was trying to find you Sabin," hollared the real Mog (or so Sabin thought), "It's like a big maze in here, a labrynth!"
"Is it really you Mog?," Sabin hollared back.
"Of course it is! Can anyone break dance as well as I can?," so at that Mog started to break dance. Lights flashed all around, and the sound of the song "STAYING ALIVE" by the Bee Gee's played.
"OK, You can stop Mog. I believe you!," said Sabin in a rash attempt to stop Mog, because frankly, It was starting to make Sabin mad.
Another voice echoed from a platform that was higher up in the room, "Sabin, It's a trap. They are both figments of your imagination. Bara Kuro is making illusions, trying to get you to fall into her deadly grip".
As Sabin looked up, he seen ANOTHER Mog standing on the platform.
"This has got to be a dream!," Sabin screamed at the top of his lungs.
Another Mog appeared out of the darkness of another door, "It's a trap Sabin!"
Another Mog appeared on the platform with the other one, another on the ground beside the one tied up, and another one, and another and another.
Sabin spun around atring at all the Mog's, not knowing which one was the real one. He looked into all of theirs eyes, but all were the same color crimson. Each of those crimson eyes atared back at him, and each little moogle face stared back at him and said in the same squeaky little voice, "THIS IS NOT A DREAM SABIN, THIS IS REALITY, AND REALITY SHALL TAKE A TREMENDOUS TOLL ON YOU."
The moogles all seemed to get blurry. Sabin thought his eyes were going on him, but they weren't. The moogles all seemed to start to float. They did. They floated from where they were standing and into the center of the room. A cyclone of colors whirled in the air. Flashes of light emited randomly in the ball of light. The ball stopped spurting light and turned black. Sabin stared at it, wondering what to expect next, but couldn't quite figure out.
A small point started to slice through the ball. It grew bigger. It was the end of a scythe. The ball then exploded into millions of small pieces of rubble. What was left there was a horrifying sight.
It was Bara Kuro, the evil creature that had made all of those illusions.
"Where is Mog?!?!?," screamed Sabin at the creature.
Replying without moving it's lips, (it had no lips. It didn't even have a face, just blank nothingness in the middle of black, oval shaped head), it said to Sabin in it's evil demonic voice, "He is in a safe place. I don't want him though. You, Sabin, are the one I want. . ."

*Authors note: So this is the end of the long Chapter 4. If you liked this Chapter, REVIEW, if you didn't, REVIEW ANYWAY! This Chapter, I found, was longer than the others, so I didn't quite finish it, but I'm going to make a new Chapter for the Battle between Sabin and Bara Kuro. Look for it. I think that it will be my best Chapter yet!. Props to Bara Kuro too, because she won't know until she reds this, that I used her name for the evil creature! (laughs), she is an evil creature! (laughs again). You should read her stories. I recommend the story CHAIN REACTION. It's a Gundam Wing story. It's cool. OK, Chaos is out. . .*
