Rebound
Gryphon Lancer: this is the longest chapter I've written so far, so Read and Review as always….PLEASE!
And as usual I don't own final fantasy tactics…
Chapter 3
It was about that same time that a group of people were walking into the city. At the front of the group was the infamous Ramza with his group merry…uh…well not very merry after what happened earlier in the day…
(...flashback…)
Agrias had Rad pinned against the ground with the tip of her sword on the back of his neck.
"You knew from the start didn't you?!?" She snarled at the thief, who was hopelessly trying to escape from certain death. Unfortunately for Rad, once Agrias gets pissed off she's like a berserk dragon with a toothache.
"maybe you should calm down Ma'am" Alicia stated nervously as she and Lavian stood at a distance "He probably didn't know any better!"
"That's right!" Lavian chirped in "he has the brain capacity of a gym sock!, you can't blame him for teaming up with Gafgarion!"
"SHUT UP YOU DUMB BLONDES!"
"HEY! I'm a brunette!"
"I'm a red head thank you very much!!!"
"We don't have time for this Agrias!" Ramza yelled as he dragged the holy knight away from Rad "we need to get a replacement for Gafgarion NOW!" He dropped her off with her apprentices and with a couple groans, snarls, and warks they were on their way.
(…end flashback…)
As I was saying, it was about that same time that Ramza and his team were roaming the city looking for the soldier's office. To make it easier on everyone they split up, Ramza and Rad went one way and Alicia and Lavian went another, thus making everyone happy.
It didn't take long for Ramza to find the office, but then again, it wasn't that hard to find in the first place.
"so what exactly are we looking for?" Rad asked as he walked up to the door. 'Probably a replacement' he thought sadly. It was true that Agrias wanted to gut him like a fish, Alicia and Lavian didn't seem to mind his company, and Ramza didn't seem like the kind of guy to hold a grudge. 'heh, probably just some puny squire'.
Ramza didn't answer question, neither did Rad expect and answer. As they walked into the building, Rad fell back to stand by the door, leaving Ramza to pick out the squire. The noble had to fake cough to get the man's attention though.
"Oh, I'm sorry for ignoring you sir" he said quickly, standing up to get a better look at his new customer. He took a short gasp as a look of recognition crossed his face "Why, you're that Beoulve kid!"
"Yes, and I am looking for a new recruit, do you have any?" The old man didn't even open his mouth before a loud shriek could be heard through the walls. Everyone in the room froze and stared at the wall as a mixture of sounds came forth…
Thud,
Clang,
Trip,
Thwack
"GET BACK HERE!"
Multiple foot steps,
Gasps for air
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!"
"AHH MY EYE!"
Ramza gave a very confused look as he slowly approached the door and set his right hand on the doorknob.
''' THWACK! '''
I guess the weight of a fully armored lancer and a couple dozen squires was too much for the door to handle, as…well…a fully armored lancer and a couple dozen squires burst through the door, piling on top of one another in what might be the biggest dog pile in final fantasy history. I didn't really think about it much, mostly because I had a rough time breathing, and I had someone's knee digging into my stomach.
"What in gods name…Ramza are you ok!?" I heard someone call out from the other side of the room. My head (thank god) wasn't being smothered at the moment, so I glanced over to see who it was.
Has anyone noticed that Rad looked a lot like a younger Greg Nori? You know, the guy from Treble Charger? Meh, I guess not.
Once I got over my fascination with the resemblance of the two I came to the conclusion that the people trying to kill me were right above me. Thus making me let out another short screech and try to squirm my way out of this hell hole. Unfortunately for Ramza, this meant digging my feet in his stomach till I got out. I kinda felt bad for him, but it was fun making his yelp in pain :)
To Be Continued…
Gryphon Lancer: I have to finish this later, mostly for the fact that im gunna get carpal tonal syndrome from typing so much :P so just sit tight till I can rest my poor aching fingers…
