Chapter 2
End to the Tranquillity
As we left the restaurant, we saw citizens of our barrack running around in panic. They seemed frightened, as a mother and child were curled up in a corner crying. A rush of adrenaline and fear ran through my body, as I was ready to fight whatever I would be up against.
"What's going on here? Why are we..."I asked, but then a loud siren beep three times repeatedly. Then I knew what was happening. Three beeps meant the Bahamut was attacking, as we learned in our SeeD training.
"Oh Shit! BAHAMUT'S HERE!" yelled Hiero, with fear in his voice.
"I guess we gotta go face it, as its part of our duty," I said, being the leader of our pack. "Get your weapons at the dorms and meet and the entrance to the barrack. Then we'll go find that sumbitch and kill it!"
With my orders set out, I jumped onto my aeroboard and flew towards the dorms. As I went by I saw nothing but fear in the peoples faces. Then, as I entered the barracks, I saw the Bahamut.
The Bahamut was large, very large, perhaps forty feet. He was a coal black. He was a serpent, and was spewing fire everywhere, like a dragon would. The fire had caught the cafeteria and the training zone, and was on its way to the infirmary.
Seing the people, running and screaming in pain as the fire engulfed their bodies with incredible aura was awful. The pain was horrible, and the anger was swelling inside me. However, I felt they deserved it in a way, for not being able to defend themselves, but not everyone could, unlike me. So I sped up my board to full speed, and made it to the room in four minutes.
I ran inside, when the Bahamut's tail swept half the hallway, and there was an eight foot gap between me and my room. I skated back a few feet, and then put my board in full thrust.
My board was the Luture brand board, a rare find, and it would go from zero to forty miles per hour in three seconds, and the blast near set my neck off its place.
In order to get enough air to cross, I needed a ramp. I found an upraise in the debris, and decided I would use it for a ramp. As I got closer the board went faster, and the wind was blowing my hair around like crazy. The heat from the fires was getting hard to take, and the smoke was getting blinding. But I wasn't going to give up.
I went off the uprising and soared through the air. My board flew four feet. Five. Six. And then it started to go down. I had reached seven. I started to panic as my board might not make the landing. It fell right before the other side, and my only option was to jump off of it. I did, and landed on to the bridge. However, my board fell into the fire, and I never saw it again.
The anger turned to fury as my board fell into the inferno caused by teh beast. But then I saw it. The key to my victory. I saw a small gap in the beast's scales. I knew I needed to attack there. But first, I needed my sword.
I ran into my dorm and grabbed my sword, the Corsair. I ran back to the bridge, and the hole was farther away from me. my only option was to jump off of the bridge and onto the monster to get it. I ran at full speed, and jumped as high as I could, which was four feet, given my excellent SeeD training.
I landed onto the beast, a few feet from the space. I ran towards it, then jumped straight up into the air, pointed my sword down, and slammed right into Bahamut.
The sound I heard next was so painful I cannot explain it. It ran through my body, and seemed to be tearing up my soul. The leviathan swung around, trying to get me off. But I held on, for my life. Black blood was oozing from the beast, and it was hot and sticky. It ran all over my skin, and I felt a strange sensation running through my body.
But then, he found me, and opened his mouth. I could see a ball of fire constructing in his mouth, and I knew what was to happen. I was going to die.
