My final fantasy
Chapter 5: Edd the hunter and the monster swordsman
Ryo suddenly felt a cold splash of water hit his face. Ryo Blinked his eyes into focus to find that he was in a bar, poorly lit by the candles on the wall but many people were to busy getting drunk to notice. Ryo looked around, he was at a table with another guy. This guy hadn't noticed that Ryo was wake yet as he was busy drinking and watching the fight going on over in the corner of the pub. Ryo quickly noticed that this guy was no older then himself and had a huge 'Gun' next to his leg. His gun was bigger then Oni's, much bigger but he only had one. "Where am I" Ryo finally spoke. The guy turned on his seat to face Ryo. "Ah! Finally awake I see? Been out for a few hours" the guy told Ryo then right after he took a swig from his bottle. "How'd I get here?" Ryo asked siting up "found ya, I brought you here" the guy told Ryo. "Name's Edd, I'm a hunter" the guy said taking another swig from his bottle. "Name's Ryo" Ryo told Edd. "What's a hunter?" Ryo asked, "tell ya in a sec." Edd said then stood up. "HEY OLD GUY, another beer for my friend" Edd shouted over to the barman. The barman walked over and placed a bottle on the table and Edd passed him some Gil. "Drink up, it's on me" Edd said taking a large gulp from his own bottle. Ryo looked at the bottle before him. He could swear that what ever was in side was slowly eating through that glass. Ryo shrugged and took swig. "So what's a 'hunter" Ryo asked again. "People who use guns to hunt monsters" Edd told him. "Sounds fun" Ryo said taking a large swig after. "While most monsters drop money, I get extra as I'm a hunter. The bigger the catch the more Gil" Edd told him. "That's why I'm here," Edd said as Ryo drank the last of his drink. "Whoa these suuf hasss got some kick to at," Ryo said with a dumb smile. Edd raised an eyebrow. "So what's here to hunt?" Ryo asked. "Ah! That's the interesting part," Edd said getting in closer.
Oni sat on the edge of the fountain with Feka looking up at the stars. "Wonder where Ryo got too?" Feka said. Oni didn't say anything she just kept looking up. "Ah! I'm sure he's fine" Feka smiled, he moved and little closer to Oni, then a little more. "Feka what are you doing" Oni asked just as Feka's hand came down on her top. "Er? Nothing" Feka blushed and moved away. "Damn I miss Feena" Feka thought. The 2 of them sat there for little longer. Suddenly there was a loud bong as the town clock hit midnight. "Feka? Have you noticed that this town is a little empty now?" Oni asked Looking around at the empty market area, it was kinda creepy now, all the market stalls had been packed up most lights were out. "Feka I'm kinda scared" Oni said moving closer to him. Suddenly they heard a roar off in the distant then the sound of a tree falling over. "I think that's why the Town is empty now," Feka said with fear in his voice. Just then a shadow appeared at the entrance of the town. It was human shape and from where Feka and Oni sat they could see it held a thin sword. They watched in fear as it waked over to them, "what do we do?" Feka asked. "I don't know" Oni replied. The shadow got closer and soon it entered the light, it was a knight in back armor, it held a long thin sword that looked very sharp, but the thing they noticed most was that it didn't have a head. Oni was first to scream and Feka joined in.
Oni grabbed Feka's arm and they both ran way and the headless knight followed them. Oni pulled them over to the first building and banged on the door. "Let us in" Oni shouted. "Please let us in," Feka shouted kicking the door. Feka turned around as Oni continued to knock at the door. "EP!" Feka squeaked as the saw the headless knight stand over him. Feka jumped out the way of his sword and Oni turned around. The knight's sword stuck into the door right next to Oni's head. Oni quickly jumped away and pulled out her pistols and fired. All the bullet's bounced off the knight's armor and quickly Oni ran out of ammo. She quickly released the clip from her too pistols and they clattered on the floor. Oni went to reload but the knight was fast and it hit Oni across the face with the back of its fist. Oni fell to the floor and looked up the knight stood over her, sword ready to kill. Suddenly a loud blast came from behind the knight, the knight was sent flying over Oni and crashed just a little distance away. Oni turned back to look where the knight had been standing to see Ryo, "what was that?" Oni asked, "new friend" Ryo smiled helping Oni up. Edd walked up behind Ryo and pulled apart of his gun back making a click reloading it. "Nothing beats a pump action shotgun," Edd said resting the end of the shotgun on his shoulder. "Thank you" Oni said to Edd. "Names Edd let's talk later" Edd said "guy's watch out" Feka screamed. Ryo quickly pulled out his sword and blocked the oncoming attack from the knight. "Guys run" Ryo said. And Oni quickly ran out of dangers way. Edd stepped back and fired his gun blasting the knight away again. "Thanks" Ryo said and got ready for another attack. Ryo and Edd watched as the knight climbed up again. "Damn this guy doesn't give up," Edd said reloading as well. The knight turned and ran at amazing speed towards the too. Before anyone could move the knight punched Edd, knocking him to the floor. Ryo attacked but the knight blocked with his own sword. The knight quickly pulled back his sword and swung it cutting deep into Ryo's arm. Ryo screamed in pain and fell to one knee holding his arm, this being his first injury in battle. The knight lifted his sword high into the air and went to bring it down into Ryo. Ryo closed his eyes awaiting the sharp end to strike his body but it never came. Ryo opened one eye and saw Oni in front of him. She held the Knight's sword with her hands. Oni hands quickly charged with lightning magic and shocked the knight. The knight fell to its knees then landed face down on the floor. "How'd you do that? His sword should of cut right through you?" Ryo asked as Oni helped him up. "We can't beat him," Oni suddenly said. "Why is that?" Edd asked. "Because he is already dead" Oni told them. They all heard a noise from behind them. "We must run the knight is coming" Oni said but before they could move a sword bade burst out of Oni's chest. "SH*T" Ryo screamed. "Damn that's nasty," Edd said. Oni was slowly lifted off her feet and into the air her blood was poring from the open wound. Edd quickly pulled back the end of his gun and reloaded. "Eat this sh*t head" Edd said and blew the knight in half by firing at point blank range. The knight's too half fell down to the ground, as did Oni. "ONI!" Ryo and Feka screamed. Ryo got down and held Oni head off the floor. "Are you ok?" Feka asked. "I'll be fine," Oni asked with a cough. Too everyone surprise Oni stood up unhurt. "Damn why won't you give up" Edd shouted from behind them. "Why is everything always behind us?" Feka said as they turned around. Again the knight had gotten up and was in one-piece again holding Edd up by the neck. "There's only one thing to do" Oni said walking over to the knight. "Oni what are you doing." Ryo shouted to her. "This" Oni said as she pulled back her hand and balled it into a fist and slammed it right thought the knight's armor. Oni face showed an angry look she showed her teeth as she growled with this anger. "Oni?" Ryo said as he watched. "Monster from Hell return to where you belong" Oni screamed at the monster. With her free hand Oni formed a ball of energy and rammed it through the knight armor coursing it to exploded. The knight was gone. "What the Fu*k just happened?" Feka said. "What ever happened it's over" Oni turned back to the group. "Well the bounty points on that baby went through the roof" Edd smiled. "The rooms for the Inn are on me" Edd shouted and they began to walk off. But Ryo stayed looking at the stop where the knight once stood. "There's something not right about this" Ryo said thinking about what he just saw. "I don't know why but for a split second Oni wasn't Oni" Ryo said to himself. "I saw Wings"
