My final fantasy
Chapter 4: friendship can only grow stronger.
"Are we there yet?" Feka moaned as the group of 3 walked down a path through the seemingly endless wood. "No not yet" Oni told him. "How bout now?" Feka asked. "No not now ether" Ryo told him. "I'm hungry" Feka moaned again. "I'm tired, can we rest now, what's for tea?" as Feka continued to moan it was possible to see the vein appear on Ryo's forehead. "are we there now?" "SHUT UP!" Ryo screamed turning to face Feka. "If you say are we there yet one more time I swear..." Ryo's shouting was cut short by a rumble. "What was that?" Ryo turned back the other way he was facing. "Something's coming?" Oni said and she pulled out too weapons that Feka and Ryo had never seen before. "Get ready!" Oni told them as the ground rumbled again. Ryo drew his sword and gave it a little charge of lightning magic. Feka pulled out a metal rod. Now they waited listening to the footsteps of the monster, Suddenly without warning something big came crashing through the undergrowth and raored right in Ryo's face the smell alone could have killed Ryo. The monster was cover from head to toe in red fur and had a human shape body but the head of a wolf and a long tail. "ATTACK!" Feka screamed throwing a bolt of lightning at the wolf. It was meant to be a fireball but as long sit did damage Feka didn't care. Ryo was about to attack with his sword but there was 2 long bangs and the wolf's chest exploded with it's own blood. Ryo turned to see what it was. Oni pulled the trigger on her strange weapons again and they fired again. The closest thing Ryo had seen to this was a crossbow but these were fast louder and much much more powerful. Oni kept pulling the trigger to her weapons and soon the wolf monster was nothing but bloody pile on the floor, Oni clicked the too weapons and a part fell off each and out of that fell lot's of empty metal shells. Oni pulled out 2 more full one's and loaded them into her weapons. "Thanks for the help guy's" Oni smiled at Ryo and Feka who were starring at her weapons. "What are they, they rock!" Feka asked. "Their new technology, their called Pistols, type of firearms, but more know as Guns" Oni smiled throwing one to each of her friends. "Cool their like crossbows but just better in every way" Ryo said mouth still hanging open in amazement. "Be careful one shot can kill a person" Oni said. "I like I like, tell me more" Feka asked Oni. "Hmm there's 12 shot's per round then you have to reloaded." Oni told them. "Wow with a crossbow it's 1 shot then about 5 minutes reloading another arrow" Ryo said. "And these take a few seconds" Feka said and by mistake shot a tree "careful" Oni shouted.
That night they camped out under the stars and the 4 moons. All they had was 3 sleeping bags and a campfire but that was good enough for them. Ryo was the only one still awake. Ryo just sat there not moving much and looking up at the sky, at the stars. Just after midnight Ryo felt a tap on his shoulder. "Thinking, I see" Feka said and sat next to him. Ryo nodded and kept looking up. "Ryo can I ask you something" Feka suddenly asked. "Sure what?" Ryo said still looking up. "Have you noticed anything odd about Oni" Feka asked. Ryo sat there quiet for a second. "I've noticed lot's of odd things, but you can't talk your not exactly normal" Ryo said again still looking up. "I really mean this Ryo" Feka said. "For once in my life I'm not joking around" Feka said and Ryo finally looked down. When Feka says this he means it. Ryo started to think. "I have noticed something," Ryo said. "Me too" Feka said. "Like that fact the army is after her and she hasn't told us" Feka said. "She keeps putting off telling us what she is" Ryo said. "What do you think she is?" Feka said. "I really don't know, but she's one powerful mage" Ryo said. "And those Pistols, I've never seen anything like them." Feka said. "I've 'thought' enough for one night" Ryo said and walked over to his sleeping bag, Feka yawned loudly, "your right I'm gonna go to sleep as well" Feka yawned and climbed into his sleeping bag. They both closed their eyes. "Don't let the bed bugs bite" Ryo said. Feka's eyes popped open "what bed bugs?"
"WAKE UP LAZY BONES" Oni shouted at the too boys but they only rolled over. Oni waked over to Ryo and got close to his ear and in a mum like voice she said. "huni! wake up the school bus is here" Ryo popped open and sat up, "what's a school bus?" he asked rubbing his eyes. "Hang around for 1000 years and you'll find out" Oni laughed. "What!?" Ryo said. "Never mind" Oni laughed again. "I cooked you both some breakfast" Oni smiled and seconds later Feka appeared with a knife and fork in his hands. "Wow you sure like your food" Oni smiled handing him some cooked meat. Feka and Ryo grabbed some and took a huge bite. "Wow tastes good," Ryo said with a mouth full. "What you mean good? it tastes great!" Feka said also with a mouth full. "But what is it" Ryo asked. "It's Chocobo" Oni smiled taking a bite herself. Both Feka and Ryo gained a look of shock. "BACO!" Ryo screamed hugging his meat. While Feka just stayed still not even blinking. "What's wrong, never tried Chocobo meat before?" Oni asked but didn't get a reply as Feka still hadn't moved and Ryo was now in tears. "Maybe Chocobo wasn't a good idea" Oni sighed. "Everyone loves it were I come from" Oni sighed again.
that morning the gang was off and away, Oni was walking a little a head of the other 2. That morning it took some time for Oni to Get Feka back into the real world but it took even longer to get Ryo to remember that his beloved pet Chocobo was not the one Oni cooked but is safe back at Questona. Now they walked along the road happily.
Soon a noise could be heard in the far distant, the sound of busy lives, people buying a selling, a market town? "Hey, you guys hear something?" Ryo asked the others "sounds like a town, cool!" Feka smiled at the thought of finally leaving the wood "it sounds like Questona on Market day" Ryo said, "Markets, Yay let's go" Oni said grabbing their arms and dragging them off toward the sounds of the "market"
They ran into the small town and looked round, the houses were well built everyone having a brick wall and roof, unlike Questona where most houses had thatched roofs. Every where the floor was paved with cobblestones and in the center was a huge fountain surrounded by market stalls. "Oh wow" Oni's eyes glowed with excitement. "Let's go shopping" Oni turned to Ryo and yelling right in his face. "Sure why not, we made a few Gil from killing monsters" Ryo smiled looking around. "YAY!" Oni said and shot off into the busy market. "Girls" Ryo sighed. "Now what should we do Feka" Ryo said turning around. "Feka?" Ryo looked around to spot his friend. Ryo sighed again. "Why me"
The market was very busy at the moment. Maybe today was one of its best days. There was also a stall for everything, so far Feka had seen shop for fruit, other food, different colored chocobo's, weapons, a shop for each type. Feka stopped at the mage item shop. Here there were magic spells, items and weapons, but one had court his eye. A Rod, like his own but both ends had 3 spikes on them. "Cool!" Feka's eyes grew wide. "You like this weapon my friend?" the salesman asked him with a cheery voice. "Yes" Feka said picking it up. "I like you" the salesman told Feka. "You do?" Feka said looking up from the weapon in his hands. "I like you so I'm going to cut the prize in half" he told Feka. "You are cool" Feka smiled. "How much?"
"5000Gil"
"What!!!"
"Ok, ok 3000Gil"
"Hmm lower?"
"2000?"
"1000?"
"1500?"
"1250?"
"1300?"
"200?"
"Deal"
"Here" Feka finally handed over the money and ran off. The salesman looked at the money in his hand. "That kid's good" he said with a sigh.
Oni looked over the market wide eyed. Everything was so colorful and bright. "Hmm I need some ammo, but I could buy some clothes?" Oni thought to herself. Oni hopped over to the first shop. "Hello, your a pretty one" the weapon seer said. "You think so?" Oni smiled back. "Yeah, so what you after?" the weapon seller asked. "Ammo?" Oni told him. "What kind of ammo, fire arrows? Shotgun ammo? Normal arrows?" the weapon seller asked Oni. "9mm full metal, Duel pistol edition" Oni Smiled as the weapon seller stood shocked at her knowledge of ammunition. "What?" Oni said noticing his shocked look. "I'm sorry but most girls who ask for ammo, don't have a clue" he told Oni. "Heh, so you got any then?"
Ryo bumped into his millionth person in the market crowd and fell over. "Watch were your going?" Ryo shouted wiping off the mud water from a puddle that must be 5 days old. Ryo stood up and was knocked forward again this time bumping into someone else. Knocking who ever it is over and landing on them. Ryo shook away the feeling of being pushed about and noticed his head was resting between 2 large breasts belonging to a female werecat. "Do you mind?' she asked Ryo quite calmly. Ryo jumped up with shocked. "I'm really sorry," Ryo yelled holding out his hand to help her up. The werecat looked like any normal woman but with 2 huge cat ears, whiskers, paws and claws and not forgetting the long cattail. The only fur on her body was on her ears paws and tail. "Are you blushing?" the werecat said looking at Ryo's face. "No… I'm not looking at your… I mean... oh damn" Ryo finally gave up and sighed his face burning hot. "You're a cute little human" the catgirl smiled giving Ryo a small kiss on the cheek. Ryo smiled a dumb smile before fainting.
