Ch.2 Time is of no essences
Agh. Were are we? Dave looked around to see mountains and only that. Joe awakened to see they were not any where near were they were. Just then a huge beast looking like something you would see out of an adventure movie looked at them. Oh shit! RUN! As they began to run they looked back to see it only walked not looking like it would not harm a fly. Dave had seen something like this before but where? Work! Exclaimed the red-feathered beast. With that the beast lowered its back to let them on. Dave was surprised to see that it could support both of them. The beast began to walk them to a site where a huge battle had just been fought. Seeing no one except one lone solider. Hey are you all right? Joe got the pack on the birds back. K. With that they help the solider to his feet see that he had a broken ankle. You all right? Yea thanks you. I see my Chocobo helped you here. What? A chocobo? Yes there very common here. Oh by the way my man is Sir Charles of The Alexandrine Knights of Pluto. But everyone calls me Chuck. Well my name is Dave and this is my brother Joe. Ah always good to meet a warrior. Yea where are we any way? We are at Burmecia. Huh? Have you not heard of the great city of Burmecia? Dave had only ever heard the name once and it was in an old history book. Yea I have. By the way Sir Dave where are you from? You can just call me Dave. My little brother and me are form a world different from yours. A world where there is only war and no hope for the lowly such as us. Well your always welcome in Alexandria. Thanks. As they traveled they came to a city on a mountain. They used a large staircase reaching from the bottom to the top. Well here we are. Make yourselves at home. As they got off the chocobo Chuck wanted to thank them and give us things to fit in. He took them to the Weaponry and gave them enough gil to buy what they needed. He waited for them when Dave was all set Chuck told him to check out the town. Chuck was going to help Joe with his things and let him pick a weapon of his choosing. What staff would you like to use. Hmmmmm.... I want to use a sword. All right Chuck had him pick out the one he liked best and after that helped him into his armor. K lets go introduce you and your brother to the queen and king. Meanwhile Dave began to search around town for something to tell him what time he was in. After he had seen the papers he had remembered this was the day before a great destruction had leveled Alexandria. Oh God I have to warn Chuck. With that he ran around the entire town just looking for Chuck and Joe. He looked high and low until here could go on no more. Man, I just can't find them. As Dave began to sit down Joe and Chuck ran around the corner. Hey I've been looking for you guys. There no time for that we need your help. Why? Because there's a huge monster attacking the city. All right lets go. They ran to the town square he saw it. The huge beast with its gaping jaw, massive teeth and huge horns. Dave knew it could be only one thing, Ifrit. Holy shit that things not stopping for anyone get out of the way. NO! Joe stood his ground. The beast stopped dead in his tracks. Wow how'd you do that? It was easy I sensed no hostility in him. Joe began to pet the massive beast allowing it to curl up in a ball and sleep. See you just need to know how to treat him. The beast disappeared and the little flickered of light flew to Joe. Ah yes thank you. With that they began to walk to the palace. They came to a huge mote. Here we have to cross by boat. When they arrived by the doors they were greeted with open arms. Yet as the giant doors swung open a beast of unimaginable power leaped forth. AHHHH!!! What is it? Fear not for it is only Ixion protector of the castle. Good for a moment there I thought it was another monster. Dave and Chuck began to walk towards the stairs. Joe stayed behind for a few minutes to pet Ixion and give him some food. Joe come on. Oh sorry. As they climbed the stairwell Joe and Dave were amazed at the little flying creatures. Hey Chuck what are those? They're moogles. Huh? They're sort of like flying teddy bears in a way. As they came to the door to the throne room Chuck was explaining to Joe what sort of matter you should conduct yourself in. The doors swung open to reveal a lavishly decorated throne room. There were many servants running around. Ahhhh you must be the ones who save the city? Yes your highness. Thank you, don't you have anything to say to them honey? Yes, I thank you for your service to our city. And then Chuck introduced Dave and Joe to the Elderly couple who were the king and queen. This is King Zidiane and Queen Garnet. Dave and Joe both bowed and told them it was a pleasure meeting them. As they left the thrown room Chuck wanted Dave and Joe to meet his grandparents. Nah I'll just look around at the painting for a while. Dave? Sure why not. As Chuck and Dave ran down the stairs out the castle doors and up the right tower. Dave I would like you to meet my Grand Mother Beatrix. Hello it's a pleasure to meet you. Grand Ma where Grand Pa. He's off training, which you should be doing to. OH Shit, Dave we have to run. Meanwhile. As Joe strolled through the library he picked up books and flipped through the pages. He didn't really find any books he liked. Until he came across one about a young mage like himself. He lost himself in the book for about an hour he read all about the young mage who had to face his fears and helped save the world. An old mage, with a beard down to the floor, walked up to him and asked him if he liked the book. Yea I love it this mage sounds almost like me. Really well you sort of look like him with the hat of yours. The old mage handed Joe a little wooden box with runes on it. Hey what's this for? I see great power within you, that box contains all of the black magic form my knowledge and I'm passing it on to you. For I fear I'm not long for this world. Heh at one point I was worried about not making it past a few months let alone about seventy years. Well thanks again mister, wait what was your name again? Oh my name is Vivi and the book you were reading was about me. Joe ran off the find Dave and Chuck. Use the power I gave you well great great great great great great grandson. And with that he faded away entrusting his power to the one he saw fit to wield it. As Joe ran out of the building he felt a force almost pulling him to the top most tower of the castle. He walked back to the tower and all the way to the top he saw Dave and Chuck. Chuck was getting yelled at by some old man. Wow! They look like bugs from here. He ascended a staircase to the very middle of the castle. There he saw a dark figure standing there. He was sure that he had something to do with the feeling he had. As the man turned around Joe was stricken with fear. Y y your Darkhawk. Why yes I am, and you would be. Um Hi my name is Joe. Well Joe be prepared to meet thy maker. And with that Darkhawk rose his staff. But a tremendous feeling was growing inside of Joe and at that moment a tremendous beast emerged from the sky with wings like an Eagle but the appearance of a snake. The Serpent flew right over and perched behind Joe. Fine two can play at that game. With that Darkhawk summoned a huge beast to aid him. Tiamat evil beyond time Aid me with thyn forces. Dave and Chuck saw the huge fleet of dragons coming towards the castle. Dave we need to make it to the top of the castle and fast. They ran all the way to the top to see Joe just about to be killed by Darkhawk. No!! Dave ran full force at Darkhawk, but as he got there he took the blow instead of Joe. Arhg! Dave! He sprung to his feet as if nothing had hit him. What? Well I might have underestimated your true power. But not to fear for here come my dragons. Joe knew what had to be done he concentrated all of his energy, he knew that Quzetalcalt was not the only summon here he sensed a great power within the castle. He stood in the very center of the castle. Everything around him began to glow. No! It can't be I had that destroyed. After what Darkhawk had said, an meekness light began to enshroud the palace. Joe began to recite an ancient incantation, that only few mages would ever know. Guardian of light Protector of Peace Come to me now oh holiest of beast! With that Alexander was summoned and destroyed the fleet without effort. As the smoke cleared a dark Silhouette emerged from the smoke. What how could Tiamat survive. This isn't Tiamat it is the king of Dragons himself. Bahamut! With that Bahamut rose into the sky and began his flight towards the castle. Joe had no idea how Darkhawk could be doing this. Joe there must be a way to stop him. No I'm afraid not even Alexander can save us now. Just then Dave felt a surge of power rush though his body. With that he unsheethed his massive sword. Supernova! He leapt from the tower shrouded in darkness with that he flew at Bahamut with the speed of an airship, he raised his sword and a massive ball of energy emerge from the sky hitting Bahamut nearly killing him. Dave landed on the tower as if something put him there after the fight. Dave turned towards Darkhawk. You shall kill no more you sorry excuse for a mage. Me! A sorry excuse for a mage you no not of my true power. The battle began. Chuck start to use your sword skills. What? You are a knights of Pluto, right? Yes but I use chi spells. Fine whatever just use them. Right! Joe use your best spells you know. Okay. With that they struck him with all they had Dave with his sword, Chuck with his chi spells and Joe with his magic, but to no avail did they even make him flinch. HAHAHAHA! I told you and now I must destroy you. But before Darkhawk could even recite the spell Dave felt his limit break coming. HA! Now I've got you with that he picked up his sword a flame surrounded him. Now get ready to feel what true pain is. Reign of Death! With that his eyes began to glow red he took his sword and began his attack on Darkhawk, slash after slash after slash and when Dave was done Darkhawk was all but killed. Hahaha! Not even your true father could have done that better. True father what are you talking about. You will find out in time but right now I....must...do..away...with you pests! I've seen that before. Guys hold on. Ha now maybe I can get back to work.
