Return of the One-Winged Angel Chapter V: What's this? He's Alive!
"Cross-slash!!" A scream bellowed as a Griffin that was in the air came crashing down to the ground. It slid across the ground, dust and smoke flying up, while the two gapping gashes in its chest bled. Asher landed on the ground in front of it, his Katars pointing toward the dirt, blood dripping from the edges. "Hmph... These beasts are weak, 'eh Bro'?" Another griffing came crashing into a wall, Bry standing where the smoke cleared held his sword covered in blood, still gleaming red in the sun. "You can say that again, Asher." said Bry. Now Auroa came walking up to them, putter her arm around Bry she said, "Are you boys done yet? It'd be nice to get to cosmo canyon today..."
The trio proceded through the maze of canyons towards where their records showed the ruins of Cosmo Cayon. As they traveled through there were the hacks, slashes, and the occasional thunk from Auroa's bow to clear the path of monsters that obstructed their path. Soon they saw an old observation tower with a crater on the top. A structer that was once used for great knowledge, and observing the planets. Dust floated in the air from the bast battle that raged their a long time ago. This was where they found one of their most useful documents, and where they hoped to find a way to beat the almighty Sephiroth, something that they may have missed last time they were there. The red tarf was quit majestic, and also very romantic for Bry and Auroa. Although Asher felt lonely, he didn't mind, he was with his two best friends and couldn't be happier.
The threesome had finally made it to Cosmo Canyon ruins. "Asher take the right side and yell if you need help or find anything. Me and Auroa will take the left." Bry spoke, and Asher responded to him with a nod. Asher left the two now, and went on the search. Bry and his chick, Auroa, started on the left. "Do you reall think we'll find anything, honey?" She asked. Bry just shrugged at her. "Dunno. You're the one that suggested it." She smiled at him and just chuckled. They continued to turn over stones and climb some building, go in, and whatnot. Eventually, they heard a scream and Bry jumped up screaming, "Asher!?" He reached for his sword and ran in the direction of the scream after unsheathing it. Auroa close behind him...
Asher had been searching through some ruins on his side, when all of a sudden he ahd got hit from behind. As he flew to the ground he threw up his hands to brace himself. He flipped himself over now grabbing his Katars in each hand ready to face the opponent that just hit him with a cheap shot. What stood there was not what he had expected to see. He saw a bright red beast standing there, his fangs bared. At the tip of his tail was a bright yellow fire, a very peculiar thing. On one of his front legs was an odd tatoo that was a picture of a XIII. The beast's fiery mane, and the rest of his body was full of battle scars. The creature lunged forward at Asher now, baring his fangs, bloodlust glowing in his eyes. Asher did a simple sidestep to avoid the creature, but inseatd as it flew past him the creature wrapped his tail around Asher's neck. The flame tipped tail bruned Asher's neck. The beast now landed behind him, and using his tail, flipped asher back on the ground. The beast, shifted his paw so as he slid on the ground, from the last landing, turned around so it was once again facing Asher. Rearing back on his hind legs, it pounced at Asher, extending its claws. Seeing the beast overhead, asher puit up his legs and simultaneously used them to push the beast away and catapult himself back on the ground. Now for the first time in the fight, he could regroup his thoughts and take the offensive against this worthy adversary. Asher's anger was soaring, because he was so humiliated with the beating he just had. He decided to execute a move only he knew, one of pure power. He bent his arms back now, as he started to have an odd green auroa surround him. As Asher gathered his energy he muttered the attacks name under his breath, "Screams of the Planet." Now his power was at its peak, so he thrusted his Katars into the ground with all his strength. From the weapons came two underground beams that blew up the earth, shinning a yellow light through the cracks as they went towards the beast. Now back on his feat, the creature saw the beams coming and ran to the right. The beams sped up faster the the beast and circled around it as it ran. The beams then stopped and ran side by side of the beast before merging on him from opposite directions. They converged right under it, creating a huge explosion, the beast flying through the air, obviously injured, and screaming from the pain as it hit the canyon wall before falling to the ground.
Asher pulled one of his Katars from the ground, and attaching it to his belt he gabe into his fatique and fell to the ground. He supported himselft on on the one Katar remaining in the ground, just as Bry and Auroa came running up. "Asher!? Are you okay??" With a pant, Asher said to his friends "I'm fine... just a little tired. But that's not doing so well.." He pointed at where the animal had last landed. Asher had a miz of cold sweat and blood comming down the side of his face before he finally passed out from the previous battle. Auroa looked at him concerned, "Bry... will Asher be okay?" He looked at her, "Yea'... Listen. Look after him for a bit, I'm going to go check out where asher pointed." "But Bry... It could be dangerous..." said Auroa. Bry just shrugged and walked in the direction, saying as he left her. "I'll be fine." Auroa just sighed and shook her head at his rebelious nature. Now she just turned her attention to Asher and went to tending his wounds.
Bry went walking on over to the beast, unsheathing his sword as he walked. He held the blade up in a fighting position just in case, and when he got to where the creature layed, something unexpected happened. It talked. "That.... hurt." Bry was not expecting this, and almsot dropped his sword, but quickly regained his composure. "You... You talk!?" Said Bry, astounded. The creature tried to get up, but failed due to his wounds. "I'll talk as much as you want later, but first I'd rather like to rest some, these wound do hurt quit a bit." Bry narrowed his eyes at the talking creature. He wanted information and he wanted it now. He decided though, that for the meantime he'd let it rest. "Fine. You will answer my questions later, though. At least tell me your name." The beast looked at him and said, "Nanaki." Before resting his head back on his paws and drifitng to sleep.
