Chapter Four takes me to a game I will always remember, Parasite Eve. I
never played the second, or the last building, so if any of the info is off
please let me know! I just loved Aya though, and I knew she had to be in
this fic!
Chapter Four
Out of Control
"Where are we?" Cid asked, looking around him.
"Reminds me a bit of Zanarkand." Auron said grimly. Huge buildings either lied in shambles on the hard pavement they stood on, or stood doubled over in the sky. There was the smell of smoke, and tendrils of it rose from everywhere. But what was worse what that it smelled like death.
"I've seen this," Zidane said. "After Lindblum, my hometown, was attacked." Zell nodded.
"Yes. it looks like an attack of some sort went down. But I see nobody's ass to kick for it! What should we do Cid?" Cid readied his spear, eyes determined as he slid his goggles over his eyes.
"Get ready men. I have a feeling it will find us." At that second, a person teleported before them. Or at least at one time it had been human. It wore a green exoskeleton, and two sets of wings. Blades ran down its' arms, and its hair was like an amber crown. But it did have breasts, so Cid knew that at one time it must have been female.
"I would say she was an unsent soul." Auron said, "But this woman is alive."
"And with gun," Cid added, pointing to the handgun at the creature's side.
"Did you do this?" Zell demanded.
"Who else my boy?" the creature said, then laughed to itself.
"But why?" Zidane asked. "Revenge?"
"The mitochondria shall rise to rule this world!" she said.
"Well I don't know what the Hell a mitochondria is, but I am not letting the likes of you have your way!" Cid growled.
"Don't make her angry." the creature said, but this time in a much softer way.
"Who?" Zidane asked, cocking his head.
".The sister to Eve. Lilith."
"Whoo boy. talk about a split personality disorder," Zell said shaking his head.
"No. I think that this woman is being controlled by the mitochondria she referred to," Auron said.
"Now you too shall die!!!" she screamed, and lunged at Cid. Cid used his spear to propel himself three stories or more into the air, but Lilith merely flew up and met him. She kept slashing at him with her arms, at such a rate it made Cid look like a sitting duck. Yet however he kept in touch, fending off blow for blow with his spear. She however finally scored a hit onto Cid's chest, ripping through his shirt and sending blood falling below.
"Crap. too bad Dagger isn't here with her summons and spells," Zidane muttered. "I am no aerial fighter like that! But I do have a potion! Here!" He threw it into the air as Cid was coming back down, and the old pilot caught it. He drank it, stopping the blood.
"I am useless at long range too." Auron muttered.
"Then let me at it!" Zell yelled.
"But you just have your fists!" Auron said.
"Which are about as good as say.. Your head!" Zidane yelled.
"Just watch Monkeyboy. IFRIT! COME TO MINE AID!" Fire erupted around them, as from it a Hellish mix of hound and man came from the ground.
"That ain't the Ifrit I know." Zidane and Auron said, then looked to each other.
"But what about Cid?" Zidane asked. But his question was answered, as Cid plunged his spear into the ground and landed safely. Meanwhile there was a rush of fire nobody could see through. Cid pushed back up his goggles, as the fires vanished. In their place was a beautiful young woman in uniform, battered and bruised. She pushed herself up, looking at them with pleading eyes.
"Lilith is out of control. Kill me now before."
"First a through story." Cid said, looking to the others who nodded. "Then we shall decide what to do." She nodded, running a hand through her blond hair that seemed almost red with blood.
"There is not much time before she regains her strength. but all right. My name is Aya Brea, and as a child my family was involved in a car accident. My mom and sister were killed, and from my sister Maya I was given a new cornea, or eye lens, and another woman named Melissa was given a liver. Many years later we were both drawn to the same fate because of it."
"To harbor a monster?" Auron asked, receiving a nod.
"Yes. you see in all beings there are mitochondria, creatures living in harmony with our bodies. They all came from a single woman. Eve. Eve had taken over Maya. and thus Melissa. For a time I was able to use my powers to defeat Melissa until one day I could no longer fight it and this happened."
"Well then the solution's easy!" Zidane said with a smile. "You just keep on fighting Aya! Never let Lilith win!"
"But she has gotten so strong."
"You ain't no weakling either," Zell pointed out.
"And we shall be there to help you see it through," Auron said. "That is if you do not mind coming with us on a journey to save the worlds."
"A chance to redeem myself?" she asked. Cid nodded.
"Yep. So what is it going to be Aya? The path will be dangerous you know." She nodded.
"Yeah. but I was an officer for New York! Danger is my middle name!"
"Great! I'm Zidane!" the monkeyboy said with a smirk, sitting up on his tail as he extended his hand. Aya laughed a bit, and shook it.
"I'm Zell!" Zell said, shaking hands with her as well.
"Auron," Auron said with a nod which Aya nodded back to.
"And I'm the leader," Cid said as he held out his hand. "Cid Highwind." Aya took it, jut as Zidane yelled,
"Hey! I thought I was the leader!" The group had a laugh over this, as once more things started to fade out.
"Where are we?" Cid asked, looking around him.
"Reminds me a bit of Zanarkand." Auron said grimly. Huge buildings either lied in shambles on the hard pavement they stood on, or stood doubled over in the sky. There was the smell of smoke, and tendrils of it rose from everywhere. But what was worse what that it smelled like death.
