Hello, I am your creator. The one you shall all bow to someday!
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! All right, enough of that. Sorry about the fight
sequence, but the story needed a bit of adventure to spice it up. True?
Chapter 7
Reigan walked into the room, expecting to see a wrestling ring, or a mat of some sort, or something like that. Instead, the servant had led her into an empty room, save Krystal.
"Glad to see you could make, Reigan."
"Where are the others? I want them to see your crushing defeat. And is this a joke? Where's the equipment? How are we supposed to fight, with no tools?"
Krystal clapped her hands once. Joey walked in and handed each of them a large box. "Open it up. It's not like it's a bomb or something that destructive. Just be careful of your assembly."
Reigan opened the box, to find a bunch of tangled wires, all connected to gloves, boots, and a helmet. "What, your making me play video games? How childish." Reigan had no problem putting them on, she had hung out at the arcade before. There was no reason for fear. Not this time. She would conquer. If it meant having to play these little children's games, then so be it.
Krystal had the edge. She knew it. She was the one who had decided the playing field, she was the one who had the upper hand in sword fighting. Besides, Krystal had been working on honing in on her natural skills. Such as her sense of touch, sight, hearing, taste, smell. Take away one sense, she'd use another in it's place. Krystal was ready.
"Are you prepared to fight an honorable fight?" Krystal asked.
"So long as you are, boss."
"Good. Then put on your helmet on the count of three, and let the battle begin!"
"1.. 2.. 3!"
As Reigan put the helmet on, she felt like she had been warped to another dimension. Next thing she knew, she was standing on cobblestones, outside of a huge, stone castle. 'Medievil times, eh? Well, we'll see what she's made of soon enough. She crossed the drawbridge, and charged right in.
A pile of bricks caved in right above the entrance. Reigan, thinking this was all just a game making her invulnerable in real life, just stood there. As each brick hit her, she felt a sharp jolt of pain in that spot, for reals. "Uh oh, RUN!" Reigan ran for all that she was worth, right past a mirror. She stopped and looked at herself. She was dressed in the same clothes as she was at the sleepover, and had no weapon, armor, anything to protect herself. That's when she heard footsteps coming from around the corner.
**Krystal**
Krystal was at the back end of the castle, with woods at her back. 'What Reigan doesn't know is that there is no end to this field. The woods go on until they meet the ocean, and you don't have to go right into the castle. Other races live here, other towns and castles elsewhere. I don't have to go searching, because I know right where I want to go.'
Krystal headed towards the woods and went East. After about an hour of traveling, she saw smoke from a small camp fire. Krystal sunk down and slowly and silently crept towards the camp.
"Halt! Who goes there?" a voice called to her.
"Hah hah! You don't know me? It's Krystal, your other long lost Ranger!"
"Krystal? Is that really you?" a head poked out from some bushes next to her. The head had short, dirty blonde, spiky hair with deep blue eyes shining out from under the bangs. He fully came out of the bushes and you could see his thick sinewy arms from beneath the black hooded cloak he was wearing.
"Tidus! How've you been old friend? I trust you still have my armor, weapons, cloak. Right?"
"Of couse! Come with me, the others will be happy to see you. Are you ok? Do you need anything?"
"Actually, I do. Here's my plan..."
*Reigan*
While Krystal had been trekking through the forest, Reigan had been hiding in a coat of armor. 'It's really hot in here. Wait a sec... this is armor, and armor usually has a weapon, such as a sword! Bingo baby!' Reigan lifted her foot, and stepped off the pedestal she was standing on, and tripped. CLASH! BANG!
"What was that?"
"I don't know, let's go check it out!"
Reigan heard two deep voices say, and then she heard footsteps coming back around the corner. 'crap!' she climbed out of the armor as fast as she could, and grabbed the sword that the armor was holding.
Two orcs rounded the corner and, upon seeing the unarmored women, charged, thinking her to be easy prey. Reigan lifted the sword, and almost fell back to the ground upon the armor. She gripped it harder and lifted once more. The first orc ran right into the awaiting sword. Reigan pulled the body off the blade only to find the other one waiting for her. Reigan swung the sword around her just as the orc moved in.
Reigan, knowing that the sword she was using right now was way to big and heavy for her, she stripped the smaller orc of it's armor and it's sword. She dressed and armed herself with these. The swords was a short sword, rather crude looking but quite maneuverable. Walking down the hall to the mirror, she looked at herself again. She could easily pass for an orc under the armor. With a bit of mud from the outside, she would look just like one of the dead orcs she left for the flies.
***Krystal***
"It's not necessarially who has the castle, it's who dies first loses. We sneak in, find her, and kill her. In the real world, she'll merely pass out for 10 minutes or so, and then wake up with no harm done." Krystal was telling her plan to Tidus, and the other 30 or so Rangers that were gathered around her to help her cause.
"Were here all the way, Krystal! No matter what!" Tidus replied, confidently.
"Look behind you, at the moat. A stray orc has wandered too far away, and it's disobedience will cost it it's life!" One of the Rangers said.
Krystal turned around with an arrow notched to her bowstring with the speed granted to her by her skills. She fired it off and saw the orc fall, the arrow sticking in it's neck.
They all went over to investigate her kill. The orc ended up being Reigan, the intended victim all along. Their whole world went fuzzy, and then faded out.
***10 Minutes later***
Reigan woke up in the living room, on her sleeping bag, with sounds of laughter ringing in her ears.
"And then you whirled out your bow, and then you shot her. That was soooooo cool! I'm really glad I'm on your team. How did you ever learn to fight like that?" Cyrus asked.
"After spending hours and hours alone here, you have to have something to do. I invented that game, and there are actual levels on it too. The more you play, the stronger you become. The funny thing about Tidus, though is that."
"Stop laughing at me! You won, Krystal, all right? Just please leave me alone about it." Reigan interrupted. The laughing stopped in an instant at the sight of Reigan.
"Glad to see your awake, Reigan. You fought very well, contrary to what these idiots think. I look forward to fighting you again, except on better terms like friendly, right?"
"What ever you say Krystal."
The rest of the night went on, with Reigan warming up to the team, and eventually laughing along with everyone.
Thanx ya'll for your reviews. A new team mate will be joining the Dragon Team (again) and the next chapter, The big dance! Later!
