Oh no! Earth is in trouble!
Chapter 4: BANG!
Kuja was holding Elliana, his face totally serious. He reached out his hand to feel the girl's pulse. "Dead?" Sephiroth asked, his face intent. Since the day he met Kuja, he had never seen that guy's face so serious before - of course he had known him for only a month or so.
Kuja shook his head and lowered Elliana's unconscious body as gently as he could. He tousled his hair with his hand. "I'm getting bored," he said with his usual flaunting tone. "Why don't we terminate these underlings as soon as possible?" he suggested, rising to his feet.
Sephiroth nodded in agreement. Slowly, he moved towards the person responsible for the girl's injury, who was looking up at the silver-haired guy in fear. "You don't try to shoot me, meaning, you're out of bullets." His lips curled into a sneer. "Anyway, how did you wake up?" he asked. "No one had ever recovered that quickly before."
The man lying on the floor laughed, trying to hide his fear. "You must've grown weaker or I'm too strong for you," Even as he said those, Sephiroth could see that he was trying his best to ignore the pain in his stomach, where he had gotten a massive punch earlier.
"Really?" Sephiroth said, amused. He delivered a swift kick at the man's chest, sending him flying a few meters away. "What d'ya think? Have I grown stronger now? Or, have you grown weaker?" The man never got the cahnce to answer Sephiroth's question. As soon as he reached the floor again, he was back to his state of unconsciousness.
Sephiroth turned to look at the reamaining four scoundrels. "Can I handle them all?" Kuja asked, tossing his hair.
"Do as you wish."
"You got my gratitude," Kuja smiled his infamous evil grin and put himself in a fighting stance. "Who's first?"
All of them attacked at the same time. Kuja snorted and regarded them calmly. When they were only a couple of meters from him, he quickly unsheathed his weapon - the Tiger Heart - or whatever the computer called it, from its invisible scabbard. All four of them stopped abruptly, eyeing the blue crystal-like weapon fearfully. They're either afraid of the vicious gunblade in Kuja's hands or his ability to suddenly pull it out of thin air.
"Why chicken out?" Kuja asked, laughing arrogantly. He looked at them expectantly; hoping at least one of them was brave enough to face him. He motioned for them to come forward, but, to his dismay, all of them ran off towards the door at the speed of lightnings. "Cowards!" he called after them, and then quickly turned to Elliana. Her face had turned ghastly pale, even paler than Kuja's.
Frantically, he reached for his pocket and took out a Hi-potion and made her drank all of the bluish-green liquid. A few minutes later, the effect of the potion began to take place. Elliana's pale face gained some color to it, though her breath was still weak.
"We should get her to the hospital." Sephiroth said and began to walk to the door.
"I guess so." Kuja took Elliana in his arms and carried her to the door. "How do we get there?" He asked as he walked after Sephiroth. "And more importantly, *where* is the hospital?"
Sephiroth stopped walking. "Beats me," he said innocently.
Kuja fell to the floor. "I thought you knew!" he accused.
"It's not like I've been here before."
"Then what's all that confident talk about?"
Sephiroth was just about to answer when, "Elle!!" A cry came from the direction of the door.
Both of them looked up to see a brown-haired woman with a panic-stricken face running towards them. Her long hair was tied neatly into a long ponytail. The most important thing about her was the fact that she looked exactly like Aeris. Sephiroth froze.
She ran towards Kuja, and shook Elliana's unconscious body. "Elle, wake up! What happened to you?" She looked up at Kuja and demanded, "What did you do to-" Her words stopped abruptly, and her eyes became wide with surprise when she realised who was standing before her. "How. Why. What. When."
Due to her shock, she was unable to finish any of her questions. She looked at the other man, apparently hoping to get an explanation from him. Instead, her eyes got even wider, and she finally fainted.
"Geez. What's wrong with her anyway?" Sephiroth mumbled, half-shocked and half-amused at the brunette's reaction upon seeing him.
"Wake her up. I think she's our only chance to get us to the hospital."
Sephiroth shrugged, and moved towards the brown-haired girl. "Hey," he called, shaking her, gently at first. When she didn't bother to regain her consciousness, Sephiroth got quite annoyed, and pulled her nose.
It was worth the effort. The brunette woke up instantly, though there was a bit of anger in her fire-blazing eyes. She was about to choke Sephiroth, but her eyes grew wide, *again*. "Sephiroth? What are you doing in here?"
Sephiroth looked at the girl toughtfully, wondering how she knew him. But of course it wasn't a right time to ask. "I'll explain later. Take us to the hospital. A girl's been shot."
The brunette gasped. "Elle!" She quickly ran out of the house. "Quick, follow me!" They shuffled through the door and followed her into a bright red Skyline-GTR. Sephiroth went to sit beside the driver's seat, while Kuja sat at the back seat, with Elliana's head nestled on his lap.
Without warning, the Aeris-like girl started the engine and sped off at more than 100 miles per hour. Both Kuja and Sephiroth were thrown to their seats by the sudden impact. "Slow down, will ya?" Kuja said, gripping the seat in attempt to stable himself.
"I need to be as quick as possible," the brunette replied.
"Are you a proffesional racer?" Sephiroth asked, looking out of the car window. "I'm impressed by your skill." Everything that he saw outside the car was a blur. Despite the fact that he was in a high risk of getting into an accident, he was feeling sort of exhilarated. He felt like he was riding a rollercoaster. "What's your name?"
"Amelia," the girl replied. "And, no, I'm not a proffesional racer. Not in the real world, anyway."
"Owh?" Sephiroth arched an eyebrow questioningly.
Amelia laughed. "I could drive quite good in racing games. I always got the first place. So, you could say that I am a professional racer, though only in games," she explained. "That's why I enjoy speeding in the real world too."
"That's not a very good hobby you have, miss." Kuja muttered.
Amelia simply smiled grimly. If it weren't for her injured sister, she would have been laughing her heads off by now. A lot of people said that to her. "Can't you cast cure or something to close her wound?" she asked hopefully.
" Of course we can," Sephiroth answered. "But if we do, her skin would be enclosing the bullet inside her permanently." Amelia opened her mouth to say something. "And don't tell me to take it out. I'm not a doctor. She might lose even more blood in the process, and die."
Amelia sighed. "Nevermind then." Then, she stepped on the gas pedal, and the car sped off at 110 miles per hour.
*
It took them only five minutes to get to the hospital - with two police's cars following after them, only to be left behind, thanks to Amelia's driving skill. Elliana was immediately sent to the emergency room, with busy-looking doctor and nurses trailing after her. Amelia could only watch silently as her sister disappeared behind the door.
"I hope she'd be okay," the brunette said, turning reluctantly from the door to face the two silver-haired men. "She got here quite late. If anything ever happened to her." Her words were left unfinished as she buried her face in her hands, trying her best to stop herself from crying. She loathed crying, especially in front of other people.
Kuja and Sephiroth exchanged glances, signalling for each other to do something right, but none of them could think of doing anything good. Their ego was simply too high for them to comfort a crying woman. Anyway, that's one of the things the bad-guys never did.
A few minutes passed since Amelia concealed her face in her palms. "Now," she said, looking up to look at Kuja and Sephiroth. All traces of sadness were gone from her face. "Just tell me. What the hell brought you two here, *together*?"
Thus, the chapter ends. It'd be another two weeks before I could upload again, I think. School-life is really tiring, especially if you're in boarding school. *sigh*
