Chapter 3: Where Are We?
"Yo, Hottie! You awake now?" a young voice laughed.
"Wh-where am I?" Celes groaned. She tried to sit up, but her muscles were too worn out.
The boy smiled playfully. "The name's Sai. Sai Kuragashi, member of the ancient clan of Japanese Ninja,"
"A....Ninja, huh?" Celes managed to say. She rested her head down on the pillow and looked up at the ceiling.
"You're in my humble abode. Welcome to me lair!" Sai laughed evilly as he sat down and started polishing a Katana.
'This place is a mess...Weapons everywhere, empty tins of polish. I better help this boy clean it up after I get better,' Celes thought to herself. Her thoughts were interrupted, though, by manic laughter. A laughter that sent shivers up her spine. A laughter that only Kefka would use.
"Lady, this is my house, you don't have to clean up anything! Weee heee hee heeee!!!" Sai laughed as he kept polishing the blade of his weapon.
'How did he know?!' Celes choked silently.
As the mage inspected the boy close up, she saw many weird things about him. The one thing that caught her most was the hair of Sai. He had long black bangs at the front, short spikes at the back, and the sides curved forward. The bangs were curved so they didn't cover his face fully, yet Celes could only see one half of his face, as the hair covered the other.
Another thing that amused her was his eyes. They had two unique marks going through the eyelids. They were vertical, purple and a diamond-like shape.
"So, you like my hair, huh?" Sai smiled at her. "And yes, I can read your mind. I'm a psychic!"
'He's a WHAT?!' Celes was shocked. Only a selected few in the world would be psychic. This young teenager was gifted.
"H-hey, where did you get your powers from?" she stammered, half afraid that the boy could kill her at any second.
"I ain't gonna kill ya! And I had them ever since I could remember. My parents abandoned me as soon as they found out, thinking I was a freak. I managed though. I made a living by making and selling weapons for others." Sai explained.
'Just like Gau....' Celes though to herself.
"Who's Gau?" Sai asked.
"Just a boy like you," Celes was now used to the psychic business.
As the two relaxed for a few minutes, they didn't know that something was after them both. Something evil and dark. Something that wanted Celes alive, and Sai dead.
"CELES! GET OUT OF THE BED!" Sai demanded loudly. He was just a child, but he knew what to do.
"I...can't! My muscles are still too cramped!" Celes uttered.
"Then we have no other choice but to use my powers!" Sai boasted with anger. "Sa....i......ko....shi......SU!!!"
Celes' jaw dropped slowly as Sai raised his arm and teleported them to the living room. As sai gripped the Katana he was polishing in one hand, he lowered Celes onto the bed with the other. He then held onto the sword with both hands in a comfortable position to fight whatever he had sensed.
"Hahaha! You're just a child! Do you really think you can save the damsel?" a psychotic voice spoke. Out of the room, a glowing, red being floated out.
'Wait a second.....That's an oppositio!' Sai thought.
An oppositio was basically a clone of something that existed in reality, except under the control of an evil being. Sai knew about this because he had fought some in the past, just barely making it out, and he sensed that this one was much tougher than the others.
"The name is Kuurhonah!" the being introduced. "I am made of only plasma energy, so my body is immune to physical pain!"
"Ha! Then I'll just have to go on an all-out assault!" Sai smirked. Underneath, he was feeling shocked. He had a feeling he wouldn't have a chance against this guy. Unless he used the Forbidden Ninjitsu he learnt from his late Ninjitsu Teacher.
'Never use these techniques for evil, as they will counter-attack on you, and it will all be for nought,' Sai remembered what the teacher had said.
"Eat this!" Sai roared as he jumped into the air. "SEIKEN BUREEDU!!!"
The boy's weapon glowed a fierce gold color as the blade disappeared, and a holy beam of energy appeared in it's place. Sai descended to the ground with the blade above Kuurhonah's head, about to slice into the skull of the being.
"Holy Blade...." Celes muttered. She remembered Shadow, an old friend of hers, once using it. It was Shadow's desperation attack.
The blade of the upgraded Katana made a large cut in the head area of Kuurhonah. The boy landed on the ground at the ankles of his enemy, and he prepared another attack.
"BLEED TO DEATH!" he shouted as he rapidly hacked and slashed at the floating mass of energy.
"Bleed To Death...." Celes gasped. She had seen Cyan perform it at a fighting expedition once. It was a powerful attack that only people with a good heart and soul could use.
Sai fell to the ground, wasted of his energy.
"Now for my turn!" Kuurhonah laughed as he put all of his energy into a mighty kick, making Sai hit the wall on the other side of the room.
"Stop it..........JUST STOP IT!!" Celes cried as she got up. She gathered enough energy to grab her sword and prepare an attack.
SWIRLING HEAVEN
Time froze for a few seconds as Celes stood there, taking in all the holy energy she could. She realised she had learnt a new technique, which didn't require MP, but needed her to be in a time of total distress to use it.
"YOU WILL DIE FOR HURTING MY FRIEND!!!" Celes screamed as she did an upwards slice on Kuurhonah, then sliced down on him, but she wasn't finished yet. She started to spin around at a dangerous speed, and as she went faster, she floated up into the air with a sort of psychic power.
Kuurhonah screamed as Celes spiralled up and sliced him into pieces at the same time.
"Eeeeeyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!" Kuurhonah let out as he was obliterated into pixie-dust. Then Celes blacked out...
A while later, Celes had regained consciousness. Sai was there, holding his stomach.
"You.....awake?" Sai managed to choke out.
"What happened?" Celes asked.
"I'll explain it later. Right now we need to get ready,"
"For what?" Celes was stumped.
"We need to get ready.....for another Magi War....."
