My final fantasy

Chapter 16:

The 2 large doors to the gate opened up and the gang walked in wide-eyed with amazement at how huge the city was. There were small buildings as far as they could see and beyond that was the wall of the city. In the middle of the city the buildings became bigger and in these buildings was a huge castle. But that wasn't all there was airships flying over the city. "WOW!" Oni smiled looking up. "I didn't know there was anything like this" Ryo said. "I say we go for a look around first," Feka said. "Good idea, we meet at that inn at night fall" Oni said pointing off into the distant. "How can you tell that's an inn?" Edd asked. "Can't you see the inn sign?" Oni asked. "No" Luna and Feka both replied at the same time. "Oh you're not demons, only I can see that far" Oni smiled. "Ok then we'll meet up there," Edd said and everyone ran off. Ryo was the only one who stayed behind. "If only demons can see that far, how come I can?" Ryo said to himself.

Oni walked down a busy main street watching as everyone around her rushed about, but something court her eye. A group of some boys, about the age of 9 or 10 were standing around a poster on the wall. Oni walked over wanting to know more and when she got close she found it was a advert about a tournament, a Card game Tournament. "Terra Battle Cards?" Oni said aloud not knowing about the very popular Card game. "What you don't know?" a boy said turning to her. "I've never heard of this game before" Oni said and the other boys turned to her. "What!!" some shouted at her. Before they could yell at her any more she quickly asked. "Where can I find out more?" Oni smiled and the boy's pointed to a shop down the road.

Feka Stood in the middle of the busy Market starring at someone who starred back. Finally Feka blinked and the boy ran over. "I BEAT YOU," he said with a laugh. Suddenly the boy's head exploded into millions of tiny pieces. Feka wiped out the remains of an eyeball as Edd walked over. "Who was that?" Edd asked blowing the smoke coming from his gun. "Said his name was Tim, so why did you blow his head off" Feka asked. "Dunno, just wanted too" Edd smiled as the headless body fell to its knees then the floor.

Ryo looked at the wall in front of him. "Boring" he said and side stepped to the left. "Ooo free potions! Boring" Ryo, said and side stepped again. "Mako the energy of tomorrow… BORING!" Ryo quickly sidestepped "A card game tournament?" Ryo said looking at the last poster on that wall. This time Ryo stayed there and looked closer. "3rd prize and power stone, 2nd prize one million Gil, ooo, 1st prize the famous lost soul STONE!!!!" with that Ryo ran down the road to the nearest card shop.

It was dark inside and Oni could only see boxes and boxes of card. Only the light from a small circle window at the back lit the room. "Welcome to my shop" a very calm voice came from behind her. Oni turned around to see a boy maybe about the age of 18 leaning on the wall with a grin on his face. The teen wore a dark blue sleeveless jacket and a white vest under it. And to add to his hard man character he also wore black fingerless gloves. But most noticeable was his short silver hair "name's Sameri master Cared player" he smiled to her. "H- Hello" Oni replied a bit shy as he was quite handsome. "You want to bye some cards right?" he asked Oni looking her up and down. Oni blushed she could tell that he liked her. "Yes" Oni told him and he turned to the piles of Boxes. "I have the perfect deck for you" He smiled jumping up and pulling out a small hand sized box from the bigger ones. "Lot's of cute powerful monsters in this Deck" he told Oni handing it to her. "That's 1000 Gil" he smiled to her and she gasped. "1000gil for some cards" Oni said. "Hey there magic cards, hard to come by if you can a seller like me" Sameri stopped to think for a second. "But for you, I'll sell it for 700gil" Sameri gave a smile. "And for a low price I'll make a card of you" he smile and Oni's eyes lit up. Money Quickly changed hands and Sameri placed his finger tips on the sides of Oni's head. "What are you doing" Oni asked with shock. "Just relax and close your eyes" Sameri calmly told her and she did. Suddenly Oni feels the strangest feeling ever. But it did feel kinda nice. "Open your eyes" Sameri told Oni and again she followed his instructions. In front of Oni was a card floating before her? Oni gasped in amazement and the card dropped into her hand and Sameri stepped back. Oni flipped the card over to look closer at it. The picture on the card was of oni with an Anime kind of smile doing the peace sign with her fingers. "Wow" Oni smiled at her card. There were numbers up one side, which were around 100, but Oni didn't know if that was good or not. "Can I see" Sameri asked holding out his hand for the card. Oni thought for a bit, then handed it to him. Sameri took the card and looked over it, he looked up without moving his head. "You're a demon?" he asked her even when he knew the answer. "Is that a bad thing?" Oni asked. "No it's just…" Sameri stopped. "It's nothing really" he smiled and Oni turned to leave the shop. "Hey, to say sorry" Sameri pulled a card from his inside jacket pocket. "Here" he smiled and threw the card at her which Oni court with her middle and index finger. "Hey it's your card of you?" Oni stated. "Something to remember me by" he smiled.

Ryo stopped walking suddenly as he noticed something, he spun round in time to see a girl duck behind a wall. Ryo shrugged and continued walking but soon stopped again. Like the first time he turned around to see the same 8 year-old girl watching him. "What are you doing?" Ryo asked her calmly. "You're a big Kitty" the girl smiled. "Wha--?" Ryo said but remember the tail that flickered behind him. "I gotta win that tournament" Ryo said and walked again.

The next day

Oni sat outside a waiting room holding her very won deck of cards. She had read the manual 5 time over and she was sure she knows how the game worked, she was always a quick learner. "The Tournament will begin in 5 minutes" a voice called out.
