Disclaimer: Have your people call my people if you don't know what it is. So…READ! NOW! GO!
Key: = thinking :: :: = actions **= me
::Off to see the Iifa Tree! The wonderful tree of Gaia! Okay, so that stunk…o well. Read on my children!::
Aboard the Hilda Garde 4
Erin: ::over the intercom:: We will arriving the Outer Continent in about 4 hours. Please feel free to look at the Hilda Garde 4. Just don't lean to far over the railing!
Vivi: gulp…::stays in his chair::
Zidane: Come on, Garnet, lets check this airship out! ::pulls Garnet out of the doorway::
Garnet: ::laughs:: Okay! Okay!
Eiko: ::walks up to Vivi:: Are you alright, Vivi?
Vivi: ::trembling:: U-u-mm….y-yea! J-just fine!
Eiko: ::skeptical:: You sure?
Vivi: ::still trembling:: Y-yea! I-I'll just sit r-right here!
Eiko: Okay…::walks away::
Steiner: We should have these type of airships in Alexandria. What do you think Beatrix?
Beatrix: Hm…they would help in defending the kingdom…
Amarant: This is a pretty cool ship…but I'm still cooler…
Freya: …right…::turns to Fratley:: What do you think?
Sir Fratley: Nice, sturdy, great weapons…this is a pretty amazing airship!
Freya: I hope it will aid us in stopping whatever is trying to control Gaia.
Where Zidane and Garnet are.
Zidane: This is a pretty cool airship…
Garnet: I know…and running on jet engines…I can't believe Uncle Cid created this!
Zidane: I bet it's fun to drive…
Garnet: Maybe when you get your license…
Zidane: ::puts his arm around her as they walk:: What? You don't trust me?
Garnet: ::smiles:: Well…just not while flying.
Zidane: What's wrong with my flying skills?
Garnet: You get too excited.
Zidane: Really? Hm…::sees Mikoto and Kuja:: Hey Mikoto! Hey Kuja!
Mikoto: Yes, Zidane? What is it that you want?
Zidane: Me? Want something?
Kuja: Well, you always greet us that way when you want something…
Zidane: No! I was just saying hello…
Garnet: Kuja, can you talk to your dragon?
Kuja: Of course. Wait just a sec…
At the Iifa Tree
The silver dragon lands and looks up at the Iifa Tree. It senses something lurking around and stays away as far as possible. It looks in the direction where the Hilda Garde 4 and Ryo-ohki should be heading.
Inside the Iifa Tree
Mysterious voice: I can feel my power returning to me! I can feel it!
Evil spirit: Master…I have done what you have asked. You're counterpart will no longer be able to hinder you in your plans.
Mysterious voice: Good. My full awakening will be arriving shortly. Until then, take these seeds and bring them to life, to be my Angels of Death.
Evil spirit: Yes, my lord. ::takes the seeds:: But I must warn you. Great forces are coming to try to stop you. One of them knows about me I'm afraid.
Mysterious voice: Let them try. They will never defeat me. Garland was too stupid to realize his full power. Kuja had potential, but that meddling Zidane had to turn him around. This time, they will not succeed.
Evil spirit: I feel them coming nearer. I will hurry to bring these seeds to life. ::bows and floats away::
Mysterious voice: Ahaha…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ::maniacal laughter::
Outside the Iifa Tree
Evil spirit: Come my seeds! Come to life, once again! Defend your Master!
The seeds started to change form and soon transformed into Genomes.
Genome #1: Ooo! ::stretches:: It feels so good to be alive again!
Genome #2: Yes! Being a seed is no fun.
Evil spirit: Listen, you two. There will be a greater force to try to stop our Lord. You must protect this tree. Kill them all. Understand?
Genome #1: We got ya.
Far away from their view, the silver dragon was watching them and fear started to grow within him. He looked again in the airships' direction when he heard his master's voice.
Back on the Hilda Garde 4
Kuja: ::using telepathy:: Silver dragon?
Silver dragon: Yes.
Kuja: What's going on over there?
Silver dragon: I feel life within the tree. It is growing. An evil spirit has created two Genomes from seeds. They are very different from you and your siblings. They are stronger and I can feel more power.
Kuja: Stronger? What else?
Silver dragon: Yes. I feel it will be a long hard battle. I now see. I'll be there.
Kuja: Alright. Stay out of sight.
Silver dragon: Yes, my Lord.
Kuja: Well, looks like we got our hands full.
Garnet: What is it?
Kuja: Well, my dragon has told me that there are two more powerful Genomes out there and that evil spirit created it. He also told me that the life we sensed is growing.
Zidane: This is going to be tougher than expected.
Mikoto: But we have help. I'm sure we can do it.
Garnet: Right. We should contact the others and tell them what's going on.
Mikoto: I will. ::rushes off the radio room::
On Ryo-ohki
Ayeka: Ryoko! Must you always hold on to Lord Tenchi that way?! Shouldn't you be piloting Ryo-ohki?!
Ryoko: Chill, Ayeka. Ryo-ohki knows that she has to follow the Hilda Garde 4. And besides, Tenchi doesn't mind. ::hugs Tenchi from behind::
Tenchi: Actually…
Sasami: ::walks up to them slowly:: Ayeka?
Ayeka: Yes, Sasami?
Sasami: I-I'm scared. ::starts crying::
Ayeka: ::reaches down and hugs her:: Sasami! What are you scared of?
Sasami: ::sniff:: What if we never get back home? What if this thing is all our fault? We opened that dimensional gateway and…and…
Tenchi: Sasami, there's nothing to worry about. We'll get out of this just fine.
Washu: But, it is kinda our fault. More or less mine. I'm the one that found that thing. It was in my lab.
Kiyone: I'm getting something on the screen!
Mikoto appears on the screen.
Mikoto: Wow, this is cool…o! I can see all of you!
Ryoko: She acts like she's never seen a screen before…
Tenchi: Well, most likely they don't have this kind of stuff.
Mikoto: Anyway, Kuja has gotten word from his dragon that there are two other Genomes more powerful than us at the Iifa Tree. His dragon senses that evil life growing within the tree. We are almost there. If you look, you'll be able to see it.
They look out to see a gigantic tree.
Mihoshi: Wow! That's one big tree!
Ayeka: Bigger than the ones in Jurai…
Tenchi: Bigger than an oak tree…
Mikoto: Please be careful. We will landing shortly.
The screen goes blank.
Ryoko: Well, lets get ready!
On the Hilda Garde 4
Erin: ::over intercom:: We will landing on the Outer Continent shortly. Please be seated as there seems to be rough winds at the moment. ::the airship rocked violently:: I hope you have enjoyed Air - um…nevermind.
Zidane: I'm telling you, she needs to get out more.
The Hilda Garde 4 lands on the Outer Continent a little rough, but okay.
Erin: I'll stay onboard. If you have any trouble, just come back here. I'll have the weapons armed and ready. The rest of the crew will be standing by. Be careful. ::salutes them:: Good luck.
Zidane: Alright! Lets meet up with Tenchi and the others.
At that moment, Ryo-ohki landed a little away from them.
Ryoko: Come on! They're waiting!
Ayeka: Well, aren't we pushy today?
Ryoko: What did you say? ::comes up to Ayeka::
Ayeka: You're always rushing us! You have to take this seriously! Strategy and patience is the only way to win.
Ryoko: ::arms crossed:: Hmph. But my way is much better. You do it swift. No time wasted.
Tenchi: ::sweatdrop:: Lets just go and meet the others.
Ryo-ohki: Meow!! ::teleports them to the ground::
Ryoko: Come on Ryo-ohki! We'll need you too.
Ryo-ohki: Meow!!!! ::transforms back into a cabbit::
Ayeka: Now Sasami, there's nothing to worry about. We'll win.
Sasami: Alright. ::sees the FF9 group and the silver dragon:: Hey, Eiko! ::waves and runs off::
Tenchi: Well she know how to bounce back up.
Ayeka: Yes.
Eiko: Sasami!
Zidane: Yo!
Amarant: So are we going to do this or what?
Freya: Lets think. There are two Genomes right? Well, are they going to fight together or separately?
Washu: We should expect both. We don't know anything about them.
Zidane: Well, how could we lose? Lots of physical skill, a demon, two summoners, a black mage, and a cabbit that can turn into a space ship, how could we lose?
Amarant: You already said that…
Zidane: So? Anyway, lets get moving.
Beatrix: But shouldn't we form fighting parties?
Sir Fratley: If we have to split we will. We'll mix to there will be equal enough abilities.
Zidane: But what about Sasami? Will she be alright?
Sasami: I'll be fine.
Ayeka: She's till young, but she does have some power.
Zidane: Hm…::sees a long rod lying on the ground and picks it up:: Well, just to be sure ::hands it to Sasami:: Know how to attack with it?
Sasami: ::nods:: I've seen Tenchi do it all the time.
Tenchi: Well, you should be well off then.
Sasami: ::twirls it around like a baton:: I think I can handle it.
Zidane: ::pats her shoulder:: Atta girl. We have to use all the help we can get.
Sasami: ::blushes:: T-thanks…
Zidane: Well, lets move out!
They start walking with the silver dragon flying low carrying Kuja and Mikoto.
Eiko: How come they get to ride and we have to walk?
Zidane: They're not used to walking over great distances like us.
Eiko: O.
The Iifa Tree loomed nearer as they continued on.
Tenchi: The Iifa Tree was big when we saw it on the airship, but it's bigger on land.
Suddenly the silver dragon faltered and Mog appeared from Eiko's dress.
Mog: Kupo! Kupo!
Eiko: Mog senses something! She's getting scared!
Kuja: Same thing up here!
At that moment a blast of energy came there way.
All: AAAAHHH!!!
After the dust cleared some, they were surprised to find that they were alright.
Zidane: What the…
The FF9 characters finally realized there was a shield protecting them.
Ayeka: I got it.
The shield was coming from her.
Garnet: Ayeka! That's amazing!
Ayeka: ::shield disappears:: Yes, but tiring when so big.
Voice: What?! That didn't destroy you!
Zidane: Who's there?!
As the dust disappears, a Genome all in black leather was revealed. She had a long whip in one hand and the other was still outstretched.
Zidane: Whoa! It's a babe!
Garnet: ::kicks him really hard:: What was that?
Zidane: Um…I mean, though she's nice looking, nothing can replace you, Garnet!
Garnet: Hmph.
Genome: Hm…you are more powerful than I thought. No matter. You are still weak against me, Akuma! ::prepares for another attack::
Kuja: Akuma?!
Mikoto: Not the notorious warrior that nearly destroyed a whole solar system?!
Akuma: ::smiles:: So, you've heard of me. Well, it won't matter. Prepare to meet your death. MEGA FLARE STAR!
A gigantic blast of energy hit the group like 100 ton of elephants.
Ryoko: Dang! What the heck was that?!
Kuja: I'm not really sure…it was Flare Star only 10 times greater!
Zidane: ::first to stand:: Well, this will just make it more interesting! ::pulls out his Ultima Weapon::
Ryoko: Take this Akuma! ::shoots countless amount of powerful lasers at her::
Akuma: You call that an attack? ::brushes some dust off:: I'll give you two more chances to prove yourselves.
Vivi: Garnet!
Garnet: Right. REFLECT! ::casts reflect on herself::
Vivi: FLARE! ::casts Flare at Garnet::
Tenchi: What are you doing?!
Vivi: You'll see!
The Flare spell bounces off Garnet and hits Akuma.
Akuma: And you think that was better? ::looks at her nails::
Zidane: Not even a scratch!
Garnet: She'll have some after this! MEGA FLARE!
The eidolon Bahamut appeared.
Mihoshi: What's that?!
Freya: That's the eidolon Bahamut, King of the Dragons. He's one of the most powerful eidolons.
Bahamut did his sequence and attacked Akuma.
Akuma: What the?! ::the blast knocks her a few feet. She stands up and smirks:: So. You're third try proved yourself worthy. That was Bahamut's power, huh? Well, you've yet to see my full power.
Eiko: She's not even winded!
Ryoko: Yea, and she's still babbling.
Zidane: Are you the one creating the Mist?
Akuma: No. My master is, though.
Garnet: Who is he?
Akuma: You'll see for yourself sooner or later. That is not what I was reborn for. I was reborn to defend my master. So, who will go first…::scans around and picks Vivi:: Hehe…this one should be easy. FLARE!
Vivi: AAAAAHHHH!!!
Eiko: VIVI!! ::runs and shoves Vivi out of the way and takes the hit::
Sasami: EIKO!! ::runs toward her::
Eiko: I'm…okay…::taking deep breaths::
Vivi: Why did you that, Eiko?
Eiko: ::smiles:: Because, you're a really good friend, Vivi…
Garnet: Do you need me to cast Cura on you?
Eiko: ::stands up:: No…::stumbles:: Maybe…
Garnet: CURA!
Eiko: ::regains strength:: Thanks.
Akuma: Aww…how touching. If I can't kill you one by one, I'll kill you all together!
Zidane: Oh no you don't! ::swings his Ultima Weapon at her and manages to cut her arm::
Akuma: How dare you! ::looks at Garnet:: Well, say good-bye to your little girlfriend. MEGA FLARE STAR!
Zidane: Garnet!!! ::runs and manages somehow to save her::
Garnet: Zidane!!
Eiko: Okay, this is getting tiresome! TERRA HOMING!!!
Mog disappears and reappears as Madeen and does her sequence and then returns back to Mog.
Akuma: Ugh! ::falls on one knee:: Alright! You've made a mistake, fools! ::starts glowing:: TRANCE! ::changes color:
Washu: What happened to her??!!
Steiner: She's gone into Trance! Her powers will be more powerful, now! We're in big trouble!
Akuma: AHAHAHAHAHA!!! Fools! My powers are now more powerful then ever! Prepare to die! MEGA FLARE STAR!!!!!
All: AAAAAHHHHH!!!!
Everyone laid on the ground, nearly unconscious. Akuma looks at them as if they were just ants.
Akuma: I tried to warn them. Fools. ::goes back to normal, and turns back to the Iifa Tree::
Voice: ::all raspy:: You won't defeat us…that easily, ugh…
Akuma: ::turns around:: What?
It was Zidane.
Zidane: No matter…how hard you hit us…::stands up:: we'll just keep coming…
Akuma: ::smirks:: You really think that you can beat me?
Kuja: ::struggles to stand:: Maybe not alone…but together…
Akuma: HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I can't believe you ants are still coming! ::walks up to Kuja:: You are too weak. ::punches him hard::
Kuja: Ugh! ::collapses again::
Akuma: You had great potential. Too bad you will never see another chance again. ::raises her hand::
Zidane: Kuja!
Garnet: No! ::gathers her strength and lunges at Akuma::
Akuma: ::turns and uses her whip to grab Garnet's throat:: Fool. You still don't understand, do you?
Zidane: Garnet! No! No! Garnet! You can't hurt her! ::anger swells up in him:: Don't hurt her! TRANCE!! ::goes to trance mode::
Garnet: Z…Zidane…::cough::
Zidane: GRAND-
Akuma: I wouldn't do that if I were you. ::holds up Garnet in front of her:: If you want her alive, I wouldn't do that.
Zidane: ARGH!! ::sees Mikoto coming up behind Akuma::
Akuma: Looks like I win! Now you'll all get to see your beloved princess die!
Mikoto: That's what you think! ::kicks Akuma and grabs Garnet:: Now Zidane!!
Zidane: Alright! GRAND LETHAL!!
Akuma: AAAAHHHH!!! *because of the amount of anger in Zidane, his attack was more powerful* ::blown back several feet::
Garnet: ::runs to Zidane:: Zidane!
Zidane: ::hugs her:: I'm glad you're alright.
Everyone is now struggling to get up.
Washu: So that's the power!
Akuma: Ugh. ::walks toward them:: You guys are stubborn!
Zidane: Wants some more?
Mysterious Voice: AKUMA! Forget about them for now! Return!
Ayeka: Who was that?!
Akuma: Yes, my lord. ::glares at them:: Until we meet again. ::disappears::
Kiyone: She just…disappeared!
Sir Fratley: I wonder who that was that summoned her to return…
Washu: That must be the head person.
Voice: ::behind them:: Yea, it was.
Everyone whirls around. A young Genome was leaning against a tree. He was dressed in brown leather and had a cowboy hat on.
Genome: Howdy. My name is Mashin. I'm Akuma's brother.
Amarant: They just don't know when to quit do they?
Mashin: O, I'm not here to fight.
Beatrix: Then why are you?
Mashin: I want to talk to the princess.
Ryoko: Well, that just leaves Garnet.
Ayeka: What?! I'm the princess of Jurai!
Ryoko: Really? I guess I forgot…
Ayeka: Ooohhh!!!
Tenchi: Not now!
Mashin: Yea…Garnet.
Zidane: ::gets in front of her:: Well, you'll have to get through me first.
Mashin: ::eyes narrow:: I'd advise you to make this as easy as possible.
Zidane: ::gets in battle stance:: Well, we like the hard way.
Mashin: Since you refuse to let me speak to Garnet, I'll have to take her to our master.
Beatrix: Not in your life!
Steiner: And it won't last much longer!
Mashin: Fools. ::closes his eyes::
Kiyone: What is he doing…?
Suddenly there was a loud roar behind them.
Sasami: Oh no!
Kuja's dragon was flying in the air, its once black eyes now glowing red.
Kuja: No! Not my silver dragon! I raised him since he was a baby!
All: …
Kuja: Well I did!
Mashin: Silver dragon, take Garnet.
Silver dragon: ::really deep voice:: As you wish…::looms over Garnet and grabs her::
Zidane: Not again! ::tries to hit him but is blown back by the dragon's fire and slammed into a boulder::
Garnet: Ahh!!! Zidane!!! ::tries to get out::
Mashin: ::gets on:: Tata! Makai will be pleased.
The others watch helplessly as Mashin and the silver dragon flies toward the Iifa Tree.
Eiko: Zidane! Are you alright?!
Zidane: Gar..net…::goes unconscious::
Well, I hope you like this chapter! I hope I'm confusing this story. I usually end up doing that somehow. And thank you for all the reviews! =D It make me very happy! In the last chapter I might have hinted that some of the other characters would be in here, but I kinda forgot…hehe…well, stay tuned for Chapter 6 to see what happens to Garnet and what our heroes will save her! ::at least I hope::
Disclaimer: Have your people call my people if you don't know what it is. So…READ! NOW! GO!
Key: = thinking :: :: = actions **= me
::Off to see the Iifa Tree! The wonderful tree of Gaia! Okay, so that stunk…o well. Read on my children!::
Aboard the Hilda Garde 4
Erin: ::over the intercom:: We will arriving the Outer Continent in about 4 hours. Please feel free to look at the Hilda Garde 4. Just don't lean to far over the railing!
Vivi: gulp…::stays in his chair::
Zidane: Come on, Garnet, lets check this airship out! ::pulls Garnet out of the doorway::
Garnet: ::laughs:: Okay! Okay!
Eiko: ::walks up to Vivi:: Are you alright, Vivi?
Vivi: ::trembling:: U-u-mm….y-yea! J-just fine!
Eiko: ::skeptical:: You sure?

Genome: Hm…you are more powerful than I thought. No matter. You are still weak against me, Akuma! ::prepares for another attack::
Kuja: Akuma?!
Mikoto: Not the notorious warrior that nearly destroyed a whole solar system?!
Akuma: ::smiles:: So, you've heard of me. Well, it won't matter. Prepare to meet your death. MEGA FLARE STAR!
A gigantic blast of energy hit the group like 100 ton of elephants.
Ryoko: Dang! What the heck was that?!
Kuja: I'm not really sure…it was Flare Star only 10 times greater!
Zidane: ::first to stand:: Well, this will just make it more interesting! ::pulls out his Ultima Weapon::
Ryoko: Take this Akuma! ::shoots countless amount of powerful lasers at her::
Akuma: You call that an attack? ::brushes some dust off:: I'll give you two more chances to prove yourselves.
Vivi: Garnet!
Garnet: Right. REFLECT! ::casts reflect on herself::
Vivi: FLARE! ::casts Flare at Garnet::
Tenchi: What are you doing?!
Vivi: You'll see!
The Flare spell bounces off Garnet and hits Akuma.
Akuma: And you think that was better? ::looks at her nails::
Zidane: Not even a scratch!
Garnet: She'll have some after this! MEGA FLARE!
The eidolon Bahamut appeared.
Mihoshi: What's that?!
Freya: That's the eidolon Bahamut, King of the Dragons. He's one of the most powerful eidolons.
Bahamut did his sequence and attacked Akuma.
Akuma: What the?! ::the blast knocks her a few feet. She stands up and smirks:: So. You're third try proved yourself worthy. That was Bahamut's power, huh? Well, you've yet to see my full power.
Eiko: She's not even winded!
Ryoko: Yea, and she's still babbling.
Zidane: Are you the one creating the Mist?
Akuma: No. My master is, though.
Garnet: Who is he?
Akuma: You'll see for yourself sooner or later. That is not what I was reborn for. I was reborn to defend my master. So, who will go first…::scans around and picks Vivi:: Hehe…this one should be easy. FLARE!
Vivi: AAAAAHHHH!!!
Eiko: VIVI!! ::runs and shoves Vivi out of the way and takes the hit::
Sasami: EIKO!! ::runs toward her::
Eiko: I'm…okay…::taking deep breaths::
Vivi: Why did you that, Eiko?
Eiko: ::smiles:: Because, you're a really good friend, Vivi…
Garnet: Do you need me to cast Cura on you?
Eiko: ::stands up:: No…::stumbles:: Maybe…
Garnet: CURA!
Eiko: ::regains strength:: Thanks.
Akuma: Aww…how touching. If I can't kill you one by one, I'll kill you all together!
Zidane: Oh no you don't! ::swings his Ultima Weapon at her and manages to cut her arm::
Akuma: How dare you! ::looks at Garnet:: Well, say good-bye to your little girlfriend. MEGA FLARE STAR!
Zidane: Garnet!!! ::runs and manages somehow to save her::
Garnet: Zidane!!
Eiko: Okay, this is getting tiresome! TERRA HOMING!!!
Mog disappears and reappears as Madeen and does her sequence and then returns back to Mog.
Akuma: Ugh! ::falls on one knee:: Alright! You've made a mistake, fools! ::starts glowing:: TRANCE! ::changes color:
Washu: What happened to her??!!
Steiner: She's gone into Trance! Her powers will be more powerful, now! We're in big trouble!
Akuma: AHAHAHAHAHA!!! Fools! My powers are now more powerful then ever! Prepare to die! MEGA FLARE STAR!!!!!
All: AAAAAHHHHH!!!!
Everyone laid on the ground, nearly unconscious. Akuma looks at them as if they were just ants.
Akuma: I tried to warn them. Fools. ::goes back to normal, and turns back to the Iifa Tree::
Voice: ::all raspy:: You won't defeat us…that easily, ugh…
Akuma: ::turns around:: What?
It was Zidane.
Zidane: No matter…how hard you hit us…::stands up:: we'll just keep coming…
Akuma: ::smirks:: You really think that you can beat me?
Kuja: ::struggles to stand:: Maybe not alone…but together…
Akuma: HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I can't believe you ants are still coming! ::walks up to Kuja:: You are too weak. ::punches him hard::
Kuja: Ugh! ::collapses again::
Akuma: You had great potential. Too bad you will never see another chance again. ::raises her hand::
Zidane: Kuja!
Garnet: No! ::gathers her strength and lunges at Akuma::
Akuma: ::turns and uses her whip to grab Garnet's throat:: Fool. You still don't understand, do you?
Zidane: Garnet! No! No! Garnet! You can't hurt her! ::anger swells up in him:: Don't hurt her! TRANCE!! ::goes to trance mode::
Garnet: Z…Zidane…::cough::
Zidane: GRAND-
Akuma: I wouldn't do that if I were you. ::holds up Garnet in front of her:: If you want her alive, I wouldn't do that.
Zidane: ARGH!! ::sees Mikoto coming up behind Akuma::
Akuma: Looks like I win! Now you'll all get to see your beloved princess die!
Mikoto: That's what you think! ::kicks Akuma and grabs Garnet:: Now Zidane!!
Zidane: Alright! GRAND LETHAL!!
Akuma: AAAAHHHH!!! *because of the amount of anger in Zidane, his attack was more powerful* ::blown back several feet::
Garnet: ::runs to Zidane:: Zidane!
Zidane: ::hugs her:: I'm glad you're alright.
Everyone is now struggling to get up.
Washu: So that's the power!
Akuma: Ugh. ::walks toward them:: You guys are stubborn!
Zidane: Wants some more?
Mysterious Voice: AKUMA! Forget about them for now! Return!
Ayeka: Who was that?!
Akuma: Yes, my lord. ::glares at them:: Until we meet again. ::disappears::
Kiyone: She just…disappeared!
Sir Fratley: I wonder who that was that summoned her to return…
Washu: That must be the head person.
Voice: ::behind them:: Yea, it was.
Everyone whirls around. A young Genome was leaning against a tree. He was dressed in brown leather and had a cowboy hat on.
Genome: Howdy. My name is Mashin. I'm Akuma's brother.
Amarant: They just don't know when to quit do they?
Mashin: O, I'm not here to fight.
Beatrix: Then why are you?
Mashin: I want to talk to the princess.
Ryoko: Well, that just leaves Garnet.
Ayeka: What?! I'm the princess of Jurai!
Ryoko: Really? I guess I forgot…
Ayeka: Ooohhh!!!
Tenchi: Not now!
Mashin: Yea…Garnet.
Zidane: ::gets in front of her:: Well, you'll have to get through me first.
Mashin: ::eyes narrow:: I'd advise you to make this as easy as possible.
Zidane: ::gets in battle stance:: Well, we like the hard way.
Mashin: Since you refuse to let me speak to Garnet, I'll have to take her to our master.
Beatrix: Not in your life!
Steiner: And it won't last much longer!
Mashin: Fools. ::closes his eyes::
Kiyone: What is he doing…?
Suddenly there was a loud roar behind them.
Sasami: Oh no!
Kuja's dragon was flying in the air, its once black eyes now glowing red.
Kuja: No! Not my silver dragon! I raised him since he was a baby!
All: …
Kuja: Well I did!
Mashin: Silver dragon, take Garnet.
Silver dragon: ::really deep voice:: As you wish…::looms over Garnet and grabs her::
Zidane: Not again! ::tries to hit him but is blown back by the dragon's fire and slammed into a boulder::
Garnet: Ahh!!! Zidane!!! ::tries to get out::
Mashin: ::gets on:: Tata! Makai will be pleased.
The others watch helplessly as Mashin and the silver dragon flies toward the Iifa Tree.
Eiko: Zidane! Are you alright?!
Zidane: Gar..net…::goes unconscious::
Well, I hope you like this chapter! I hope I'm confusing this story. I usually end up doing that somehow. And thank you for all the reviews! =D It make me very happy! In the last chapter I might have hinted that some of the other characters would be in here, but I kinda forgot…hehe…well, stay tuned for Chapter 6 to see what happens to Garnet and what our heroes will save her! ::at least I hope::
