Hi there!! Yet another chapter of my neverending really long fic… hi.
Thanks for the char bio, riona, but I needed a guy char.. o well.. but ill use kasumi anyway!!! Thanks again, now all I have to do is figure out how she comes in… hmmmmm…
Ch 6. the really scary Evil Forest.
~aki~
the forest grew closer and closer. I couldn't scream, like everyone else. But I didn't wanna die!! So I did the only rational thing to do right before we reached the top of the trees. I conquered my fear of heights and jumped off the ship. As I jumped, someone grabbed my hand. It was zidane. wai!! THAT IDIOT!!! He was trying to pull me back u, bracing himself against the railing as I frowned at him, my tail swishing angrily. Right when I was almost back up, the ship crashed ionto the ground, I felt myself thrown up into the air, and everything went black.
I woke up sometime later, feeling dizzy and cold. Zidane was lying next to me. I rubbed my head with my hand, noticing that my other one had never left zidane's grasp…
I could smell smoke, and the burnt crispy prima vista was still on fire a distance away. I shivered as I sat up. "oy! Wake up, oh hero…" I muttered to zidane as I slapped his face lightly. He opened his eyes slowly and sat up as I pulled my blanket from my bag and wrapped it around myself. "why the hell did u jump off?!" he demanded furiously.
I cocked an eyebrow. "hello?! The ship was gonna crash! Like I wanted to stick around! U didn't have to pull a HERO STUNT."
"u were gonna get squashed by the ship if I DIDN'T save you! Who knows what would've happened to u?! you'd never be able to take care of yourself!!"
I felt my face go red. He was absolutely right. "i… I guess ur right…" I murmured, my throat going dry and a lump forming in it. " who'm I kidding? I would NEVER be able to survive here…" I sighed. "I mean, I just popped in this world from another planet. I have NO idea how to live in the wilderness…"
"exactly! So don't ever do that again!" zidane replied, more serious than I have ever seen him. O_o pretty weerd..
I smiled weakly. "well, im not afraid of heights anymore!! But still.. I need a friend, dammit!! Someone to show me the ropes. Someone to look out for me, like u."
Zidane smiled and held out his hand. "alright then. Friends?"
I shook his hand. "friends," I agreed happily.
"I guess we better get back to the ship," he said as we got up.
"I wonder where everyone else is?" I said aloud as we headed over some rocks towards the Prima Vista.
"I don't know."
We made it back to the ship, cinna was directing others in putting out the fire, and only a bit of fire was left.
"where were u zidane?" cinna asked. "ur crazy, u know, jumping off like that."
"I didn't jump off, I got thrown off by the impact," zidane replied.
" I jumped off," I said.
Cinna frowned. "have u seen the princess?"
"nope," I said, looking around the forest. The trees towered over us, dark and scary-looking. "I know! We're apposed to go and find her!"
cinna stared at me like I was crazy, but zidane seemed to be thinking the same thing.
"ok, lets go!" zidane said.
I was right about to run off, when I realized what I was wearing. The maid's dress thing. "hold up, lemme change!" I said, running off into the ship. I found an empty cargo room, bolted the door shut and ripped off the dress as fast as I could and put my "normal" clothes back on and re-wrapped my blankey around myself. then I ran back outside. "otay, all set!"
and we walked off, leaving Cinna still wondering what the hell was wrong with me..
we went through a giant hollow log and had to wade through some murky water… ew..
"no way, I am NOT going in there…" I said, cringing at the sight of a dead cricket floating at the bank.
"theres nowhere else to go!" zidane replied impatiently.
"I don't care!! There's bugs, and piranhas, and ill get my boots muddy, and- --HEY!!"
Zidane threw me over his shoulder. "will u stop complaining for once?!"
I wailed as he waded into the water. "NOOO!! STOP!! IM GONNA FALL!!! EEEEE!!"
"shut up!!!" he shouted. "I wont drop you!"
I sniffed. "I hate dark, scary forests… my blankey's gonna get wet… im hungry…" I muttered as we crossed the water.
"geez…" zidane sighed as he put me back down on the opposite bank. "come on, we don't have time for this!"
"alright…"
we went further into the forest, until we reached a small open area. The mage, stiener, and the princess were all there. The poor kid was backing way in terror from a giant plant thing, which had the princess trapped in its cage like thing. This made me angry.
"release the Princess at once!!" said Steiner. What a dork.
"yeah, like its really gonna listen to you!!" zidane snapped.
~BATTLE!!~
zidane was glowing like a light bulb. Woah.
"could it be trance?" stiener said in awe.
"I dunno, it increases my power somehow," zidane replied.
"trance is induced by a surge of emotion," Steiner explained.
"wai!! Now I remember! Use free energy!" I shouted to zidane.
Zidane closed his eyes and held out his arm. There was a bright light and an explosion. The plant cage was badly damaged by this, and it put its stems up to its cage and absorbed some of garnets health.
"oh no u don't!" I swiped at it with my dagger, narrowly missing.
"aki! Concentrate on the target, not your dagger!" Zidane advised. "you keep missing with the way u use ur dagger."
"oh.. haha. Silly me.."
Steiner growled at the plant and hit it with his broadsword. The plant was dying. Zidane used free energy again, and the plant screeched in pain, if plants can feel pain, but anyways...
~end battle~
"Princess, u okay?" I called out to her. She didn't answer. Or she coodnt. Either one.
The plant reached its stems up into the branches of the trees and lifted it self up, getting away with the princess. All that work for nothing!!
~the black mage kid named vivi~
the princess was gone.
"wassup, kid?" asked the girl. She sure speaks funny.
"i… I was too scared to help her.." I sniffed, walking over to the spot where the plant had disappeared. I stood there for a moment, thinking to myself.
"holy shit!" the girl screamed, startling me, and she ran and pushed me so hard that I was thrown. I got up and fixed my hat in shock. Another plant thing had the girl trapped just like the princess. The girl saved me!!
"aki!" the blonde guy shouted.
"wai! Gemme outta here!" [if ur wondering wat that "wai" thing is, its an interjection, aka a word used for expression that has no meaning. This is wat I get for paying attention in English…] the girl screamed.
~BATTLE!!~
I used fire magic against the plant, which sure did a lot. The plant screeched and held up its stems towards the girl, created a surge of dim light.
"ugh.. its drainin.. my energy…" the girl said in a weak voice, using what energy she could to stab the plant with her dagger. The blonde swiped at the plant, which recoiled and screeched again in agony.
The knight guy chopped off one of the stems of the plant as I used fire again. The plant began to whither away and opened its cage, freeing the girl.
~end battle~
"aki, are you alright?" the blonde asked the girl, who feebly jumped off the plant after putting her dagger back in its sheath.
"ya, sure… never better.. ugh," she muttered, holding a hand to her head.
The plant began hissing.
"WAI! RUN!!" the girl screamed, suddenly getting all her energy back and running towards the bushes at the side.
A green, smokey mist came from the plant before it dwindled to nothing. The blonde dodged, but the knight and I were caught in it. All went black..
~aki~
I don't feel too good… I can barely stand up. Zidane walked over to where Steiner and the mage were lying on the ground.
"I think we should take 'em back to the ship," he said.
"of corse, woodnt wanna be stuck in a place like this…" I replied, ignoring my headache. " what was that stuff? Some kind of poison?"
Zidane shrugged. He then began looking at me strangely. "you look really pale…"
I blinked dimly. "well, compared to that kid, yeah."
"ok, lets head back now."
I got up from the ground by the bushes where I was sitting, but my head felt very dizzy. The world was spinning for some reason, and I couldn't feel my legs, so I fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes and everything was vague from there. I felt myself be carried, and somehow ended up back at the prima vista. I felt slightly better being there than at the forest. I was left alone in a room for some time (I don't remember how long). The mage kid was put on a bed and that Blank guy gave him some weird liquid to drink. Then Blank walked towards me with a bottle.
"hullo…" I greeted him. " howz it goin?" I sighed.
"here, drink this," he said, holding the bottle to my lips.
I drank it miserably. "EW! WHAT IS THIS?! ARE YOU TRYING TO POISON ME?!!!" I shrieked.
~zidane~
I told the boss about what happened in the forest, and that the princess was taken hostage by some plant and we need to save her.
"sorry, my boys come before a princess. Its too bad."
I kicked a barrel angrily. A soft "mew" came from the barrel.
"whats this?" baku reached into the barrel and pulled out a fuzzy orange kitten.
"uhh.. looks like a stowaway," I said as he set it down. I left the room as he thought to himself. The cat followed me.
Aki's yelling came from a room. I went inside and found Aki screaming about poison and some stuff I couldn't make out.
Blank was stuffing his fingers into his ears and the mage kid was trying to do the same.
"AKI! SHUTUP!!!!" I screamed.
Aki stopped and crossed her arms as she lay back onto the bed.
"I'll take it from here," I said to blank, who left the room in great joy. "well?"
aki grumbled. "he was trying to kill me.."
"that was medicine."
"oh…"
I stood by the mage's bed. "so, what's your name?"
"um.. Vivi."
"I'm zidane, and she's aki."
"thank you for saving me, mr. Zidane. And Ms. Aki, too," he said gratefully.
"woah. That's the first time anyone ever called me 'Mr'.. you can just call me Zidane."
Aki had found something better to do and began petting the little kitten. "kitty!!"
"he's just a stray," I told her.
"can I have him?" aki asked hopefully.
I shrugged. "sure, if ya want. I'm gonna go see that other guy."
"wait! I'm coming too!" aki said as she followed me with the cat in her arms.
We walked to the room Steiner was in. he sat on a squat table with a ragged doll in his hands.
"yo, sir rustalot. You're too old to be playing with dolls," I smirked as we walked in. Aki laughed insanely.
"a rogue like you could never understand! Im just overwhelmed with concern for the princess," he snapped, putting the doll down on the table edge.
Aki stroked the purring kitten. "it's aight. That chick is pretty macho when it comes to tough stuff. She can handle it until we come to save the day." Im surprised I could actually understand that. O_O;;
"yeah, we're gonna go save the princess, wanna come?"
"of course im coming! I will not leave the princess with a bunch of rogues like you!!"
"alrighty then! Vaminos!" aki said.
"vami-what?" I asked.
"Spanish! Ess spanyoley!!" aki replied. "wait.. uve never watched dora the explorer.. never mind then…^_^;;;"
"ok… lets go get Vivi," I said, following aki out the door. Steiner followed groggily. As I shut the door, there was a loud crash and a loud "OW!"
"what the hell?!" aki sputtered as I opened the door again.
~aki~
a guy was sitting in the crate he had landed in (and broke..) he had strawberry-blond hair and looked very familiar to me. I think ive seen him somewhere before…
"don't I KNOW you…?" I asked, peering at him.
"uhhh…" the guy went red for some reason, and rubbed his head as he got up and brushed small chunks of wood off his baggy jeans.
"YES!! I DO KNOW U!! YOU'RE IN MY MATH CLASS!" I shouted triumphantly.
"Miaowwww."
"now if I could remember ur name…" I said, thinking so hard that my head started hurting again.
Zidane and Steiner were speechless.
"my name is Flare," the guy said.
"oh.. yes. Of course.. oww.. my head hurts now.." I mumbled.
"i.. uh…" the guy stammered.
"fell from the ceiling? Its okay.. is happened before, you know," Zidane grinned.
"we must hurry and save the princess!!" Steiner exclaimed, jumping up and down so his armor clanked in a funny way.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
phew! That was a loooooooooooooooooong chapter!!! It took me forever.. but it was worth it!! And I introduced Flare (thanks to pikapoo8!!), the newest character. Also, the cute lil kitty, who isn't named yet, but will be named in the next chapter at a certain place at a certain time.. cough cough. WAH! That's all I have to type..
expect, does anyone know any other fanfiction site with a lot of visitors that doenst have as many rules?? cuz I really wanna do "ask Zidane" but this site doesn't allow it. Damn.
Did no zidane lives in my closet?? O_o
That was random.
Latte!!
