Disclaimer: *Sniff Sniff* I wished I owned something...something other than
pocket lint and paper clips. Oh well, I guess I'll survive. Paper clips are
kinda cool...especially when you're bored. You can play with them for hours
(believe me, I've done it).
Never Again: Chapter 2
"Garland's prized silver dragon," Kuja said out loud to himself while walking up to the enormous creature. It's wings waved in the air as they came closer.
"What about it," the younger gnome answered inquisitively.
"It's one of Garland's greatest creations," Kuja said and then thought, "Next to us, that is...I wonder if Zidane knows that he was created and not born." He pulled himself away from his thoughts, not wanting to be distracted to the current job on hand. "This is how we're traveling."
"Where are we going?" Zidane asked again wagging his tail back and forth.
"It doesn't matter, does it? You just want to get away from this place. I don't blame you..."
"It doesn't matter, but I still wanna know!"
"If you really must know, we're going to Gaia."
"Where's that?"
"Well...it's difficult to explain. You'll see what I mean when we get there." He reached up, petted the dragon's head, and leaped up onto its back. He extended a hand to help Zidane get up, but he had already jumped up behind him before Kuja could order him. "Hmmm...he's stronger than I thought. Garland must've been training him more," he thought to himself.
The dragon started to wave its wings again before it took off. Zidane looked a little frightened at first, but he started to loosen up a few minutes into the flight. They passed out of Pandemonium and over Bran Bal where they were greeted by the eeriness of the bright blue light at the entrance. "What's that? It's kinda pretty," Zidane asked softly. Kuja noticed that he talked like he was in a dizzy spell.
"Zidane! Don't look directly at the light!" Kuja warned. "That light does strange things to the mind." He turned around to check on him again. Zidane was barely awake. "Zidane, are you ok?...Zidane!" He tried to shake Zidane away from the light's hypnotizing spell, but Zidane had already fallen asleep.
The silver dragon had swooped down into the blue light where Kuja and Zidane would be transported to Gaia. Kuja looked down at the dragon's back so he wouldn't fall asleep as well. He could still see the colors shooting by in the corner of his eye. They were starting to make him dizzy, so closed his eyes tightly. Then he felt himself being raised off the dragon's back. It was like he was floating away. He opened his eyes and saw that they were falling. The dragon had lost its control over the blue light and was falling with them. Kuja tried to hold on to the dragon's back, but he saw that Zidane was falling away too. He tried to use his tail to hold on to the dragon while he reached for Zidane's arm, and at first he was successful. Unfortunately, the force pulling them apart was much stronger. Kuja's tail slowly slipped away from the dragon's neck, and he tightened his grasp on Zidane's arm so he wouldn't loose him too. They continued to fall through the void. Kuja's eyes were shut tight through the remainder of it. He wouldn't open them until he was sure that he was safely on the ground.
Kuja felt the green grass beneath him but didn't feel the landing. It was like he just appeared there. He was lying flat on his back and the grass was tickling the bare skin of his arms. It was a new feeling for him. There was no grass in Terra, and Garland would never let him lie there in the middle of a field just for enjoyment. The gray skies loomed above him, and a gust of wind blew by giving him a slight chill. He was comfortable where he was and didn't want to move, but he raised his arm to make sure that he still could.
Kuja turned his head and saw the limp body of his little brother beside him. Garland's silver dragon was nowhere to be seen. He attempted to sit up, but he must've done it too fast because his head was throbbing and his back was aching. He was so disoriented that it felt like his internal organs had been ripped apart from each other then reassembled in the wrong places.
"Zidane, wake up," Kuja coughed hoarsely while crawling over to him and shaking him lightly. He heard Zidane grunt and started to shake him harder to help him regain consciousness. "Zidane!" he said a little louder this time.
Zidane's eyelids started to twitch before they finally opened. He moved his head left and right scanning the area. "Where are we?"
"We're finally in Gaia," Kuja answered.
"Where's Gaia?" Zidane asked again.
"I already told you...it's difficult to explain where Gaia is."
"Then how did we get there?"
"That's also a little hard to explain. You'd know if you were awake. Let's just not worry about it right now, and I'll tell you in detail some other time. Is that ok with you?" Zidane shook his head in compliance.
"What's wrong with the sky?" Zidane asked a few seconds later.
"Don't you ever stop asking questions? It's probably about to storm," Kuja answered. He was already annoyed, but Zidane asked another question.
"I'm not talking about the gray clouds, I'm worried about the ones that are glowing red!"
"Glowing red...What?" Kuja looked up, and sure enough, there were red glowing clouds. He saw the red, leering eye of the Invincible penetrate through them as it guided itself down to the ground. Kuja knew that Garland had managed to catch him again.
Author's Note: Another chapter done. Finally! You're going to tell me what you think of it aren't you? Do it or I'll sick my army of flying monkeys after you. *CRACKLE* *CRACKLE* Oh, and by the way, they're equipped with light-sabers. :)
