Oh no! Earth is in Trouble! Chapter 2 : I'm here!!
Sephiroth and Kuja blinked. Their eyes were blinded for a while due to the blue-white light that surrounded them. Instinctively, they closed their eyes. The maniacal laughter had disappeared, only to be replaced by rumbling thunders, howling winds and some other unidentified noises. Kuja covered his ears with his hands to ward off the noise, but it didn't do him much good.
After what it seemed like eternity, all the noises began to subside. Kuja removed his hands and opened his eyes gratefully, looking around. The view was quite good, with towering mountains far away, green trees, colourful flowers and not to forget those noisy birds chirping around him. He looked at them in annoynment, wondering what possesed them to go flying around him. One of them flew just in front of his face and then swept down near his feet. He looked down and that's when he realized where he was; 50 feet above the ground, standing on a black, slippery and pointed roof.
"ROOF??!!" he exclaimed in shock. As soon as he discovered the fact, his balance suddenly vanished. He began to fall backwards, his hands flailing madly for something to hold on. At last, his hands found Sephiroth's long silvery hair and tugged them, causing his poor friend to lose his balance too.
"Hey! Stop that!" Sephiroth snapped as he tried to balance himself. He pulled back his long silver hair, along with Kuja, and freed them from his grasp. "If you ever do that again.I'll rip your damn head of your damn body!"
"Ch'. Don't be so angry.."
"Why shouldn't I? After all, you're the one who made us end up on this roof, 70 feet above the ground. If I ever fall down, I swear that my ghost would haunt you forever!!" Sephiroth shouted at the top of his lungs, his face red with anger.
"You're exaggerating. It's only 50."
"Whatever."
"You know what? When I was about to fall, I actually thought your hair was Rapuzel's. Long, beautiful hair, waiting for me to grab onto."
"Shut your mouth," Sephiroth warned ominously, veins twitching wildly.
"Ch', never thought the cool and all-macho Sephiroth would act this way.. The number of your fans would be decreased," Kuja smiled with his infamous lopsided smile.
Sephiroth ignored his companion. "Do you think that computer sent us up here purposely? You know, because you're shouting and all."
"Naturally." Kuja shrugged. "That computer could be too sensitive sometimes."
"Never thought a computer could be sensitive."
"It's a one of a kind." Kuja looked around him. "How'd we get off this roof?"
Sephiroth gathered his balance and walked carefully towards the far end of the roof on his right. He walked to the edge of the roof and looked down.
Kuja was walking towards Sephiroth when the guy suddenly jumped off the roof edge. "Hey! Are you out of your mind?" he quickly went to the spot where Sephiroth was standing just a second ago and looked down. He was expecting to see his companion lying sprawled on the ground, his life gone out of him. Instead, Sephiroth was hanging onto a balcony. In a second, he swung himself upwards, and landed on the balcony, waving enthusiastically at Kuja.
"Come down here if you're good - or brave enough!" Sephiroth called after him.
"Hmph! Piece of cake." Kuja jumped towards the balcony, flipped once in the air, and the next thing Sephiroth knew, the guy was already standing next to him. "Impressive, isn't it?" Kuja tossed his hair.
Sephiroth ignored Kuja and turned to look at the house compound, which was VERY big. There were variety of flowers, trees, and also a small pond. "Whose noble house is this anyway?" He asked to no one in particular.
"Who knows," Kuja said. "Quite an adequate compound, I must say." He said it somehow grudgingly.
"Sounds like you're jealous."
"Maybe. It's bigger than my Auction House back in Treno."
"I didn't know you have one."
"I didn't think you needed to know," Kuja replied, and walked towards a sliding door on his left. He tried to open it but it was locked. "What do we do now? Break the glass?"
"What else?" Was Sephiroth's reply. He took his Masamune Blade from out of thin air, and struck the glass with the back of the sword. The glass shattered into hundred of pieces. After that, he entered the house, with Kuja trailing from behind.
"What a grand entrance," Kuja murmured. He looked around the house and smirked. It seemed like the house was just struck by a fierce storm. Everything was in shambles. There were shattered glasses on the floor - not only the ones caused by them. The glasses seemed to be everywhere. All the windows and every glass-made thing in the room were broken. It seemed as if some people were having a fight and tried to throw everything they could reach at each other. Kuja suddenly smirked again. "According to my experience, this house belongs to an unhappy married couple."
"Shhh," Sephiroth motioned Kuja to keep quiet. He began to get tired of Kuja's pointless balbbering, "Let's take a look around the house first," he suggested.
Kuja nodded. He walked across the hall into another room, while Sephiroth went down the stairs. The pieces of the broken glass crunched under their feet as they walked. The other room was almost as bad as the room they had gotten into, and there was no one there. So, he proceeded into another room.
Three of the ten rooms he checked were in bad condition. After wandering for about fifteen minutes, he reached the last room.
"Anybody's here?" he asked as he stepped inside.
His question was answered by a flying photo frame. Kuja dodged, and the frame flew over him towards the far wall and shatttered. "Now, what's *that* for?" he turned around angrily to look at a girl about 16 years old with luxurious long black hair. She resembled Garnet a lot. For a moment, he thougt he was really looking at the real Princess Garnet and looked around the room in case Zidane was also there to stop his latest plan. But, of course it's impossible. They can't be coming from Gaia to stop him. they didn't even know that this world exists.
He shrugged off the thought and asked, "Was it because I - we broke your sli-" His words were interrupted by the girl's sudden cry.
"I can't believe it, it's Kuja!!" The girl exclaimed happily, running towards the startled man. She looked like she had just met a long-lost brother. "But. you're wearing Squall's clothes." All of a sudden, her smile faded to be replaced by a frown. "Wait, this is TOO good to be true. Am I dreaming?" she asked herself, pinched her cheeks, punched her head and winced. "Mmm? I don't wake up? Yes!!" She jumped happily, ran towards a drawer and began searching for something.
Kuja was dumbfounded. "Listen, kid-"
The girl didn't appear to hear him. She was so engrossed in searching whatever she wanted in the drawer. A while later she said, "Gotcha!" and quickly ran towards Kuja and gave him a pen and an autograph book. "Um, Mr. Kuja, could you gimme your autograph? Pleeaseee."
Kuja was dumbfounded. *Autograph? Mister?* He shrugged and signed the book. ".May I ask you something?" The girl nodded. "How do you know me?"
"From a game. Final Fantasy IX," she answered. "By the way, I'm Elliana. VERY nice to meet you."
Kuja nodded thoughtfuly at the mention of 'game'. "And. what's about the mess?"
Elliana's eyes became wide as if remembering something. "Oh yeah, now I remember! You see, there was a bunch of villains breaking into my house. I was tied up on the bed. They all left after receiving a phone call, except for one jerk. He's in the toilet. He said he's got some trouble with his stomach, must have eaten something he shouldn't." The girl grinned impishly. It must've been her doing. "He hasn't gone out yet, and it's been 30 minutes. So, I took the oppurtinity to free myself. Thanks to my brilliant brain, I suceeded, and then I heard the glass broke. I thought it was they again. That's why I tried to attack you."
"I see. So, this isn't really the time to take someone's autograph."
"Heh," she smiled. "Are you alone? I heard you talking to someone," the girl said, curious.
Kuja was about to answer when the toilet door suddenly banged open, revealing a bald man with an exhausted face. "What did I eat?" he moaned, rubbing his belly. "Is this your doing, bitch?" he asked, looking at the bed. There was no one there. "What the." Then, his eyes fell on Elliana and Kuja who were standing by the door. "How did you escape?" he demanded, and switched his look at Kuja. "Who are you?"
The girl suddenly laughed for no apparent reason. "Hah! You *don't* know him?" she said with an exaggerated surprise. "Show some respect! This," she pointed towards Kuja, and continued, "is Sir Kuja, one of the greatest bad- guys in history! And for your information, he's going to kick your butt!"
Kuja smirked in delight at the mention of 'bad-guy'.
The baldy burst out laughing arrogantly. "You said that girly thing could kick my butt, eh?" He laughed again before turning to face Kuja, eying him up and down. "Come here, girl."
Kuja gritted his teeth. *Girly thing? Girl?*
"You asked it, you got it, skinny head," he said, shrugging. He considered giving the guy a taste of his Flare Star, or even Ultima, but thought against it. Its force could destroy the whole house. Moreover, he didn't even have enough MP. So, Kuja casted Blizzard on the man instead, and he was instantly covered in ice. Kuja tossed his hair. "Piece of cake."
Elliana clapped her hands enthusiastically. "Awesome!"
Kuja ran his fingers through his silver hair and declared, "That incompetent underling is not capable to dealing with a superior being such as me."
The black-haired girl laughed gaily. "You bet he didn't!"
