School has been long and hard, and now it is over for two weeks! I can't
wait to start writing for all of you and my goal is to get at least three
chapters in and get to about them arriving at Lindblum. Lets hope I can do
it. Thank you Magic Girl2 and Holly Short for the reviews, they have
really helped boost my sprite in writing. Ok I guess that's it for now.
..::"Any time." He smiled as she fell asleep. He laid her down and got up to go back to his post by the tent. He just replayed the words she had said and only one thing came to his mind, 'I need to help her get home, no matter what.'::..
Mina slowly walked over towards the tent, watching as Steiner was sleeping while he stood. A moogle was talking hurriedly to Zidane and the princess was rubbing her eyes.
"Princess, you're awake!" She said right as the moogle turned and walked over to Steiner and jumped on his foot. Steiner let out a yelp and jumped.
"Nice job keeping watch Rusty." She mumbled as she walked over next to Zidane. She finally got a good look at what Garnet had on. She had a skintight body suit that was a bright orange. Underneath was a blouse that went to her wrist and huge gloves covered her hands. Her hair was held back but, this time with a small green belt. Mina noticed that almost all of her body was covered, all but her head. Steiner grumbled at her comment and watches the small moogle run off.
"From the looks of this map from," Zidane paused for a moment like he couldn't say the name, "Blank, we have to go through the Ice cavern and to Dali. Than we can figure out where to go from there." Everyone nodded and turned to look at a icy gate on the far mountains, that was their next target. As everyone packed up and headed across the plains to the cavern, Mina barley brushed against Gunner and whispered so only he could hear, "You still have to tell me what you wanted to say last night." She than looked up and smiled before walking over to talk to Garnet.
"All in due time." He mumbled before tugging at his armor. Everything was hot and he wished he could talk it off, but Steiner said it would be ver cold in the ice cavern and that he would want to stay hot for awhile.
"I am so happy that another girl is coming with me. I don't know what would happen if I was here with all these guys!" (AN: We do!) Garnet smiled as she started conversation with Mina.
"Yes, just thinking about it makes me laugh, I was with all guys for awhile. Ruby, the girl with the accent, was there but we never really met." Mina responded. Garnet stopped and turned towards Mina.
"Someday you must tell me all about this world of yours. It is so intriguing, I must know." She said with a gleam in her eyes.
"Of course. I will make sure of it." Garnet smiled and started to walk again. They talked about how Garnet read about the whole world, but never heard of Earth, until it was cut short as they arrived at the ice covered doors of the Ice Cavern.
"Hear we go." Vivi mumbled to Mina as Zidane opened the doors and ice cold air was sent out.
"God, I wish I didn't have to ware these shorts, I am gonna freeze." Mina wined and she walked in, and started to shake from the cold. Garnet just put and hand on her shoulder and silently made it a sign sating that she was there for her.
"The sooner we get through this, the sooner you will be warm." Steiner said coldly as he walked ahead. As they walked through the snow covered paths in silence Mina looked at Garnet's forehead and saw a scar.
"Where did you get the scar?" She whispers in Garnet's ear.
"When I was little, I don't really remember how." She responded.
"Oh," Mina sighed as her teeth started to chatter. She suddenly stopped short as she looked at a bar like ice shape.
"Hey, Mina! Are you coming?" Zidane asked when he saw her stop.
"Vivi.can you use your fire to melt this?"
"I think so, let me try.FIRE!" Vivi said as he summoned fire and the ice melted to reveal a monster guarding a chest.
"Just our luck." Mina mumbled as only she and Vivi could fight it. It was a blue dog monster known as a fang, it fur was always brown but the cold turned it blue.
"Let's try the fire again!" Vivi yelled as he hit the fang with fire, and Mina right away shot a wave at it causing it to disappear.
"I still don't understand why monster disappears." She mumbled as she opened the chest to find two daggers known as Mage Masher, "Here Zidane, these are for you." She threw them over and Zidane equipped them right away. As they kept on walking, they got to a fork in the road.
"Lets go right, that must be the way out." Zidane said to the group.
"Left it is." Mina yelled and they all laughed as they went left.
The group got to a dead end to see a frozen statue of a Moogle.
"Cool statue, wait it is alive.Vivi" Zidane said as he tapped the statue. Vivi thawed the moogle an it rewarded the group by giving them a full healing. They went back and turned left. A ringing coursed their ears as they got to a clearing.
"I am so tired." Garnet said as she sat down.
"Do Not fall asleep you could die of." Mina stopped talking as she slipped down a slope and fell asleep. Garnet closed her eyes and fell asleep too. Vivi looked at the two and slid down by Mina and fell asleep right away.
"Princess!" Steiner said but he felt his eyes drop and succumbed to the urge to sleep, as did Gunner.
"They all fell asleep.is that a bell?" Zidane, the only one awake, said as he walked to the next area. He stopped as he saw a black mage in blue clothing and a red hat.
"You were sposta all asleep and die, why did you wake? I will have to destroy you myself. Sealion come forth!" He yelled as a huge crystal monster with a dragon head emerged from the icy frozen water behind the mage.
"Damn, I could use some help." Zidane swore under his breath as he pulled out his new daggers.
***Mina's dream***
Mina opened her eyes and looked around where she was. She was floating in a dark void, with no top or bottom, just miles and miles of darkness. She looked down at her clothing and notices it was the same outfit that she wore when she was in her basement. She had on regular jeans that flared out over brown boots and a light yellow halter-top with little blue stars on the strap. Her hair was back to the black color and the horn was gone.
"Am I on my way home?" She whispered as she suddenly felt her feet land on hard ground. She looked down to see a glassy water like ground, and when she looked up she saw a huge plain and a black sky with a blood red sun.
"Just like those eyes."She mumbled.
"So you do remember me?" the cruel voice from her basement said behind her as his cold hand fell on her shoulder. He turned with a yelp and backed away from him. He put up a hand and she stopped moving, but she still glared at him.
"You would think that I care about you, but all you are it a monster." Mina spat out as he loomed over her. His eyes bore into hers as he moved in front of her.
"You are in my world, girl, and you should know I could kill you in a seconed." He pulled her into a ruff, greedy kiss. She could feel how cold he was and his kiss was only for lust.
***Back to regular time***
Zidane was getting a beating and every time he was hit he felt his anger rise. Right as he attacked the monsters and still did not leave any damage, he snapped.
"ARRRGGG!" He yelled as, yet again, he went into trance. He felt boosted with the new daggers and a new power too.
"What is this?" The Black Waltz yelled as he felt a wave of power with the transformation. Zidane just smiled as he decided to finish the battle, and he sent out a wave of fire while yelling, "Tidal Flame!"
***Mina's dream***
Mina felt the man pull away form the kiss that promised evil, and she was set free from the invisible hold. She furiously wiped her mouth from the taste and fell down.
"Looks like I must let you go, that fool boy defeated my Black Waltz. Just let me leave you to remember, I am Kuja, and there is no way you will get away now that I want you." He said, and with a wave of his hand, she fell into the darkness beneath her.
***Back again***
As both the Black Waltz and the Sealion disappeared, the frozen waterfall started to flow again. The ringing stopped and Zidane turned to go back to the group. As he looked, he found that Mina and Garnet were awake, but Mina was shaking violently.
"Mina what happened?" Garnet said as she tried to sooth her. Zidane slid down the slope and stood next to the two.
"It was him, he did it." Mina whispered to herself as she looked up. Garnet looked at Zidane who looked down at Mina.
"Who?" Zidane asked.
"Did what?" Garnet added.
"Kuja, it was a man named Kuja who sent me here. What happened, did I fall asleep, it seemed so real." She paused and stood up, "Lets not talk about it, lets just get out of here." They all turned to see everyone wake up and they turned to the three.
"I am so sorry guys, I never meant to fall asleep, are you ok." Vivi said sheepishly. Zidane just smiled and looked over to Steiner to see him glaring.
"What?" Zidane yelled.
"You better not have done anything to the princess." He said and turned to walk ahead. Gunner just shook his head and followed. Garnet walked with Mina and ran ahead to the opening.
"Look a way out!" She yelled and her and Mina ran out into the sun. The guys followed.
"Must all girls be morning people." Zidane commented and made Vivi snicker.
"You know, a lot of people will be looking for you." Mina said turning towards the princess.
"I know, so she need a new name. So pick one out princess." Zidane said as he looked at the princess.
"No you cannot!" Steiner yelled as her pushed Zidane away from the princess.
"Put a cork in it Rusty!" Mina yelled as she turned to the plains that were being overlooked by the mountain ledge they were on.
"Zidane what is the weapon that you use?" Mina asked. Zidane turned and looked at her with a confused look.
"A dagger why?"
"Garnet, how about the name Dagger?" Garnet stopped completely and than turned towards Mina.
"Sure that is a great name!" Garnet, or now Dagger, chirped and hugged Mina.
"Ok than, well where are we going next?" Gunner said as he looked at the two girls.
"Dali, that is the next destination."
Well, that is it for now, I guess if you didn't know what the guy was in Mina's basement, now you do. Ok it is break and I am ready to write, and from the looks of it I am gonna be past my goal.
