I'm glad most of you enjoyed The Bandits. Although it didn't get as many
reviews as Lost I hope this third part gets some popularity.
Michele's Saga, Chapter 1
So it Begins...Once More
It has been nearly ten years since I last saw him. The man I love. He came without warning and left just as quickly. His muscular build, strong arms, and his spiky blue hair. I never believed I could love him the way I do now. It was hard carrying on life without him. I do have hope though. This may help me.
It has been a long time for me. I had become more human than before. The Jenova cells in my body eventually died and I was left without as much power as I used to have but I'm still strong. I live by myself and I do enjoy my busy life. However something strikes me as odd. What happened to Otherworld?
Where are you? Mother...Father? You left without saying anything. You left Hazel to take care of me. I can fight too. Please be safe!
"Huh? What was that?" a woman in her twenties asked herself waking up from her bed. "A dream? It felt real." She said to herself getting out of bed. "Michele, you need to move on. I can't use that orb he gave me and there is no way of going to meet him ever again." I said breaking out in tears again.
Life was so different for me. The world was still recovering from the damage Hester made. However that orb Perry had given me had gotten brighter each day. I almost feel as though something dangerous waits on the horizon.
"Mother, are you sure I can't have it?" I asked mom. "If I knew you could use it I'd let you use Conformer dear. And remember the last time I let you use a weapon?" mom asked me holding her hands to her hips. "That boy asked for it. Besides I've been good." I begged with her. Than father walked in. "Emi, what is it this time?" he asked me shaking his head. "Mom won't let me use her Conformer." I complained.
"Well you don't know how to use those kinds of weapon quite as well as your mother. Plus you've already got two weapons." He told me pointing to the shuruken on my back and the sword I had at my side. "I suppose." I said.
Then the sky suddenly got darker...
"How strange. This cannot be a good thing." I said rushing outside with my numchaku around the back of my neck. The sky was becoming darker. The people of Rocket Town were getting nervous. Cid had gone to New Midgar earlier so I was left by myself.
Michele's POV
"What's going on?" I said as a giant hole appeared in the sky and some strange ball appeared with it. "That's never a good thing." I said strapping on God's Hand and running towards it outside. It began to shed various other orbs and they turned into monsters and went after people along a highway. Getting into my car I went as far as I could towards the highway.
As soon as I got to the highway it was backed up with cars. People were dead in front of me. I ran towards the monsters casting Bolt3 on all of them. I still had materia with me so I could handle myself very well. The monsters were like small lizards that had black markings along their backs. They didn't put up much of a fight though.
"What is this thing?" I said running at it. It was absorbing all that it touched. "Hey! Get out of my town!" I shouted to it. Then the ball changed into a giant black monster with horns. It looked like a shadow of some kind. "Freaky." I mumbled to myself using magic to hurt it. It did hit me back a number of times but it didn't hurt all that much. Once I hit it again with magic it appeared to die. Only it was sucked into the portal in the sky. I happened to go with it. That's all I remember.
Hazel's POV
"What are those?" I asked myself seeing small black creatures with odd markings approach the town. Using Fire3 on them they died quickly. "Are you alright?" I asked someone who was on the ground. Nothing. Looking out over the horizon I saw Wutai was having similar problems. A great fire was there.
"Hazel!" Somebody shouted to me. Two chocobos appeared next to me and Perry, Yuffie, and their daughter were there. "Are you safe?" I asked them. "Yes, but we have a favor to ask you." Yuffie told me. "What is it?" I asked. "Take Emi someplace safe. We have to do whatever we can to stop these monsters. I don't know how this is happening." Perry told me. "I'll do my best." I said taking the small girl in my arms. She was no bigger than I was at the age of 10.
"Where are you two going?" I asked them. "Cloud needs help in Nibelheim. We're going there now. Be careful." Perry told me turning and riding off in the other direction.
I took her back to my house and hid in the basement. Hopefully this won't end badly. What could be happening? Then the house was uprooted and I blacked out.
Emi's POV
When I woke up mom and dad were nowhere to be found. I was in an ocean of some kind. On a desolate rock. A path was in front of me but water was everywhere. My weapons, Garu and Kata, were with me so I wasn't too afraid of running into any monsters. Mother taught me well with throwing weapons and father taught me swordplay. I was a perfect blend of the two. But where are they? I'm lonely. I want somebody to hold right now. To make me feel like I'm not alone any longer.
I wandered along this path in hopes of finding something. Once the path was no more I was before some kind of beat up village. Many peasants were there and it reminded me of the old Gongaga mom and dad showed me pictures of. They say that is where they fell in love with one another. I wonder if I'd ever feel love.
Making my way into the town I noticed some strange looking woman lying in the street. A bunch of men were there kicking her.
"Think she's dead?" one of them sneered. "Why don't we make sure." The other one snickered. They didn't look like they were going to help her. "Hey you!" I yelled to them.
"What? Go home little girl!" The first one said to me. "Don't touch her!" I shouted. "She's got attitude. Guess we'll have to teach her a lesson." The other said. I drew my sword and prepared to fight them.
They had no weapons of their own so I was able to sneak around them and cut them up a bit. Once they noticed how badly they began to bleed they ran. I went up to the woman and she was looking to great.
I ran for help. The only thing I could do. I found somebody and together we got this lady back to normal. She was wearing blue jeans and this shirt that said "Fallen Angel" on it. She opened her eyes.
"wha? Where is this?" she asked me. "I'm not sure myself. But you're safe now." I told her. "Yuffie? Is that you?" she asked me. "That's my mother. Did you know her?" I asked this lady. "She and I were friends. Wait. You're her daughter?" she asked me dumbfounded. "Yes. My mother is Yuffie and my father is Perry. Did you know him?" I asked. "Yes. We were friends. But how did you get here? Are your parents around?" I asked. "No. I was asleep and then woke up here. How about you?" I told her. "My town was attacked by some monster and when I beat it I was here." She said standing up. "Well I need to try and find my parents. If you're friends with them you can come with me if you'd like." I offered holding out my hand.
"Of course I would." She said shaking my hand. "What's your name?" "Emerald. But my parents nicknamed me Emi. I'm their little jewel." I beamed. "Well Emi let's get moving. I'm sure your parents are safe and sound."
Hazel's POV
"What?" I asked looking out over the horizon. "Emi? Oh no. This is terrible. I need to find the others. They must be alive. I can't fail Perry or Yuffie." I said marching forward over the field of grass towards the large temple in front of me.
People were praying in it. Some carving was on the walls. It was some kind of beast burning a large city. "What is this?" I said aloud. The people inside weren't too thrilled with my presence.
I was quickly captured and imprisoned. I need to find a way out now.
Sorry if the first part was a tad short but I'm sure you still like it. I hope you give some nice reviews and look forward to the future installments.
