SaGa Frontier- Naomi's Quest: Hell Ending
Naomi ran past the cherubs that flew through her path and ignored the Dragon Lord. She didn't care about the gifts and treasures that Hell's disguise had to offer, all that she wanted was to find Hell's Lord.
"It's odd," thought Naomi, "Even if I wanted to fight them, the demons seem to avoid me. The Jigoku no Kimi must be waiting for me." Naomi swerved through the painted tapestries and the sugar-filled walkways, desperation causing her to lose her footing now and then. But all in all, she was unafraid.
That is, until she saw Jehovah's Egg. The dark surface bubbled over multiple times, and only a harsh slap caused Naomi to realize what she was staring at. Placing a hand on her burning cheek, Naomi whirled around to see who had attacked her. Belial stood there, the bright sun reflecting off of her golden hair and illustrious wings.
"Who are you to stand there and gawk at him like that?" hissed Belial, venom seeping in her voice like a leachate.
"I am the one who unsealed Hell!" cried out Naomi, "Stand aside, I don't have time for you."
"Oh don't you?" sniggered Belial, "How arrogant. Don't think that I do not remember who you are, concubine." Naomi winced at the word 'concubine.'
"Belial, let her see him if that is what she wishes," spoke Mammon, his voice calm and icy. Belial whirled around to glare at the demon, but his cold eyes made her hold her tongue.
"Aw, c'mon!" laughed Beelzebub as he manifested atop one of the pillars surrounding the egg, "I haven't seen a cat fight in a while, let the two bitches go at it!" Mammon gave Beelzebub a reproachful glance as the latter smirked.
"How about it, concubine? Are you afraid?" muttered Belial, her lips eager to have human blood splash on them.
"I am no concubine," hissed Naomi as she pulled out a Shadow Dagger. A Dark Sphere formed in Belial's hands, and Naomi was forced to cover her face as the sphere pummeled into her. She fell to the ground in a slump, breathing raggedly.
"You're done already?" mused Mammon, "If Belial can take you out that easily."
"Then she isn't worth our time," said Belial as she kicked Naomi lazily.
"Should I finish her off?" asked Belial as she turned to the figure that manifested behind her.
"No, she does not have to be strong to serve my purposes," the voice that came from the figure made Naomi shudder, and she did not have to look up to know who it was.
"Hell's Lord," stammered Naomi as she coughed up blood. She had thought of so many things to say to him, but they were all gone as she saw him. Tears flowed freely down her face as she realized what the three Goddesses had said were true: she had loved him. She might've still loved him, she couldn't tell. Her loss to Belial had made her weary, and she could only mutter out, "What purposes?"
"You must unseal Hell, of course," chuckled the Jigoku no Kimi, "My reign would have been perfect had that magician not stopped me. Besides. I need this, and you, you will assist me."
"And what if I decline?" asked Naomi, still looking at the ground. She expected to feel the coldness of a blade across her throat, but instead a hand gently tilted her head upward, so she looked at the Jigoku no Kimi. He was beautiful, his glossy red eyes looking at her with sympathy.
"You're lovely when you're sad," he smiled as he brushed the tears away from her eyes.
"Please don't touch me," whispered Naomi.
"If your friends loved you, wouldn't they be here?" The change of subject was sudden, and it caught Naomi off guard.
"They couldn't, I came here on my own," answered Naomi.
"Then why didn't you bring them? Could it be that you do not love your friends? The bad boy: Fuse, the gentle doctor: Nusakan, the Final Magician: Rouge, the monstrosity: Cotton."
"I love them, all of them!" cried Naomi as she tried to push the demon away. Instead, he grabbed her arm and pulled her forward, so she tumbled into his arms.
"But tell me, isn't there someone you love more?" Naomi opened her mouth to protest, but was silenced as his glossy lips covered hers. His fingers ran easily through her hair, and she fell limp, not responding positively or negatively. Belial's face furrowed in jealousy and disgust, while Mammon and Beelzebub were silent. Images flashed before Naomi, of Nusakan leaving her in the Magic Kingdom, of Fuse talking about Doll while she poured her wounded heart out to him, of Rouge mercilessly killing the Time Lord for his gift, of Virgil giving up his power to bring him back, and she wept in response. The Jigoku no Kimi parted from the kiss and looking at the crying young woman before him.
"I won't leave you, Naomi, I will love you forever if you only unseal Hell for me. The world will be mine and you will never be hurt," he said as he kissed her fresh tears away.
"Don't leave me alone, I'm scared." pleaded Naomi as she melted against him, shivering from the fear of abandonment.
"Unseal Hell, then, and I will do what you ask."
******************* Naomi didn't know what to think as she saw the seal before her start to crumble. Her friends had done it; they had broken the seal to Hell so she could escape.
"Please, go!" cried out Naomi, "Go before you die!"
"Then she." started Intelligence, her voice ringing throughout the Magic Kingdom, "She wants to return to him?!" The hole was large enough for Naomi to get through, but instead of doing so, she ripped away at the crumbling gate, clawing at it until it was large enough for the demon horde to get through. The Magic Kingdom fell to another attack, and the fate of Naomi's comrades are left to your imagination. As for Naomi, she stayed bound to Hell in much a way that Siren was, chained to the side of the horrendous dragon known as the Jigoku no Kimi. Belial's term "concubine" could've been applied to her, as well as the term "doomed." He did keep his promise, though; she could never leave his side. So there was Naomi, waiting for another Rouge to come and kill her. After all, history must repeat itself.
