Undone
Chapter 2
By The Black Gryphon

Umi walked down the blue hallways when she stopped in front of Celes. He lifted his head at her approach and stood up.
*Magic Knight of Water and Ice, My knight, do you truly wish to do this? Do you truly wish to save him? * Celes questioned. Umi nodded.
"He's been like a mentor to me... and so... I want to save him for once!"
*Even if it'll cost you your life? *
"... Yes..."
*Magic Knight... I grant your wish! Come forth my knight! *
Umi stepped forward and kneeled in front of Celes, who began to shine brilliantly. Umi's form began to shine with sapphire light as the temple of the Sea began to swirl. Suddenly in a blast, Celes and Umi disappeared from the temple.

Clef began to cough wildly when suddenly a tiny flicker of light caught his eye. Looking up, he stopped as he saw Umi there, wearing nothing, but not nude because of the water swirling around her like a robe of some sort, smiling sadly. Spreading her arms, she hugged Clef, who stood there amazed and confused, who closed his arms around her.
"Clef... Please don't forget me..." She whispered as Clef's eyes widened.
"Umi! NO!" Clef cried as Umi's form began to become transparent. The pain was unbearable, but she still held on. Clef tried to push Umi away, feeling her life's energy being drawn into him, but stopped as she kissed him.
The last traces of Umi began to disappear, but not before Ascot had entered, the tray of food crashing to the ground. Umi, just as she was about to disappear, floated up and touched Ascot on the lips.
"Ascot... Please... take care of Cle..." and Umi disappeared. Ascot sank to the floor, tears dripping into the carpet as Clef screamed.
"UMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

*My Knight.... * Celes hovered there, holding the slight form of Umi in his claw. In a swirl of water, a Blue haired, Yellow-orange eyed Man in a Priest's robes replaced the dragon.
"My Darling Knight... You cannot pass into the next world just yet..." Celes whispered as a lake appeared, a tiny island surrounded by the water, a dome of Ice serving as a home. Putting Umi down on a bed that looked more like a huge pillow, Celes stood up and disappeared. Umi groaned and began to shiver. Elsewhere, a Man dressed in Black and Grey laughed with glee.
"Soon.... SOON! I will RULE THIS WORLD!" Cried the man, as a black robed figure smiled.

Fuu sat up and touched the harp strings, plucking one, and smiling softly as a pure clear note rang in the room. Her hands moved across the strings like the wind, a sad melody being born from the sound. Ferio and his fiancee, Mina, stopped in front of the door, staring at the sad, green clad girl.
"Ferio, something's wrong isn't it?" Mina questioned, noticing the sad look in Ferio's eyes.
"No... Nothing is... shall we move on?" Ferio was about to pull her away when the song began to warp itself, though Fuu had stopped playing.
"Magic knight... you are the one who rides in Windom correct?" The Dark robed figure hissed.
"Yes I am. Who may you be? Friend or Foe?" Fuu demanded, her voice as hard as steel. That tone of voice caused Ferio to shiver, though it wasn't cold.
"Milith.... I am Milith...Follower of Lord Daemon. I am neither friend nor foe..." Milith replied.
"... Then I have no choice. -Emerald Cyclone!-" Fuu cried as she cast the spell, only to find that it had no effect.
"Your weak Magic Knight! Is it because your heart aches? Is it because of HIM? The One who left you?" Milith laughed with glee, while Fuu crashed to the ground. Shutting her eyes, she screamed, "LEAVE ME ALONE! -LILAC SONG! -" Notes of a song rang through the air, ripping off Milith's arm.
"Is that all you can do Magic Knight? Then come with me..." Milith began to advance toward Fuu, when Ferio came running in.
"Keep your damned hands off her!" Ferio cried as he slashed at Milith, only to find Fuu in his way as Milith disappeared. The Blade ripped into her side, but no cry of pain escaped Fuu's mouth, only a hurt look and tears as she crashed to the ground.
"Oh my! ?Futra??Healing Light!" Mina cast the spell, only to scream as the magic rebounded back at her. Fuu forced herself up, and raised her hand. Another hand caught it, a man with long pale green hair and gold eyes, clothed in green robes, with winds swirling around him.
*My Magic Knight... Thou has suffered too much. Shall I take you from this world? *
"Y-Yes... Please Windom..." Fuu said, as she began to lose grip on consciousness.
*Then... I shall grant your wish! * And in a brilliant flash of light, Fuu and the Man disappeared. Ferio leapt up and began to yell out. Mina, getting up, looked at her hand.
"Ferio," She said softly, "I know you love her. This engagement won't work. Here." Mina opened Ferio's hand, and placed the ring he gave her into his palm. Staring at the ring, he closed his hand around it and smiled at Mina.
"Thank you." Ferio smiled at Mina and ran out of the room. Mina paused and stared at the sky from the window, and smiled.

Nova ran down the hallways, when she ran into Lantis.
"YOU! I thought..." Lantis began, but Nova shushed him.
"I know! But Hikaru's in danger! Hurry! Follow me!" Nova cried, grabbing Lantis' hand, dragging him behind her. They entered Hikaru's room, only to find a man there, Lord Daemon, laughing in glee as he led a statue with 3 pillars in one hand, and Hikaru in his arms. One of the pillars of the statue was glowing red.
"Now that I have the One of light and Fire... I can go after the other two." Daemon laughed as he disappeared. Nova screamed and crashed to the ground. Suddenly 2 other girls appeared and helped Nova up. One looked a lot like Umi, her short blue hair and pale blue eyes glittering sadly. The other, with straight platinum blond hair and hazel eyes, stood up straight.
"I am Kaze..." The Hazel eyed girl said.
"And I'm Demia. We are the shadows of Fuu and Umi, but we aren't evil." Demia began. When suddenly a blast of power from above stopped them. Disappearing, the 3 hover in the air to find Milith glaring at them.
"So... you 3 are still alive..." Milith looked disgusted. "But not for long..."
"That's what YOU think! -Emerald Typhoon! -" Kaze sent the blast at Milith, who dodged.
"-Crimson Lightning!-"
"-Water Dragon!-"
Milith shielded himself against the attacks and sent a blast at Kaze and Nova, and caught Demia by the neck.
"Don't you know? My Master, Lord Daemon, is in love your 'mother' Umi. When he saw her, she lusted for her... and that's what caused him to turn into what he is today." Milith smirked, but Hazel screamed in rage and kicked him away.
"That isn't true! That isn't true!" Demia cried.

Elsewhere, a sleeping Umi was surrounded in blue light........
