Featured Fic- Trancending Reality By Merrielle (Don't hold me to it the name keeps changing) http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=203826 A crossover of FF7,8,9 that works. A story that I deprived myself of sleep for.
Straight on this long, continuing road
There is surely something to believe in
Like a traveler in the midst of the wind
I have my eyes on the northern sky
The passionate feelings that were beginning to vanish
Once again sway in radiance in my chest
I don't want the tears to spill
As so not to lose to my weaker self
In eyes holding only an unadorned spirit
There are great, unseen wings
I open my arms while singing
To embrace the perpetuity of time
To be tied to life
Straight on this long, continuing road
There is surely something to believe in. - Pure heart by Rikki (Translation)
That song apeals to me very strongly. I believe that the lyrics have parts similar to my story. On to the story.
Origins-Yojimbo- Chapter Two.
Mako Eyez
Chapter two- Enter the Daigoro.
Sephiroth lay unconscious in a mass of ruins. The skies were dull and grey. He lay on what was once steps with his legs from the knees down submerged in water. Slowly he came back to consciousness. He looked around and noticed the Masamune embedded in the ground next to him. He pulled himself to his feet and yanked the sword from the ground. He rubbed his fore head as he was feeling quite groggy. He noticed something peculiar, he didn't feel like he did on Gaia. He didn't feel invincible he felt human. It seemed to him that the Jenova cells had been removed from his body, he was now an ordinary man in an extraordinary circumstance.
He was cold and hungry. The fact that he wasn't wearing a shirt didn't help him. He decided to try and find a way out of this strange, misty place. He crossed a concrete bridge and looked down below. There was a ship and he could clearly see a few bodies on board. He saw a smaller being slip on the ship's deck. As the blue haired creature slipped he banged his head against a barrier on the ship and flipped over the side into the water. Sephiroth thought to himself that if he was going to start helping others now would be a good time. Before diving into the icy cold waters he noticed a large fish-like monster approaching the slowly submerging body. He threw himself from the bridge and into the water. Using all the power he could find within himself he swam towards the monster.
The giant fish growled at him and bared it's razor sharp teeth. As it swam to Sephiroth he lifted the Masamune which was heavier than usual due to the water. He held it pointing directly at the thing. It came closer very swiftly but for a being so big it's IQ was very low. It received a blade through it's eye for it's troubles. It winced in pain as Sephiroth removed his blade. As a last ditch attempt a defeating the man the creature swam lower and sunk it's teeth into the man's leg tearing the flesh. It's mouth opened once more and the creature floated to the surface. It was dead.
Ignoring his own horrendous wound Sephiroth swam down and grabbed what now seemed to be a young boy. He swam to the surface holding the boy. A long pole with a hoop on the end was lowered. Sephiroth help put the boy within the hoop and the young boy was pulled to safety. When the boy had been placed on board the stick was lowered once more. Sephiroth placed himself within the hoop and lost consciousness again. He body went limp but he kept a vice like grip on his weapon.
One day later Sephiroth woke up in a strange room. He lay in a bed with silk sheets in a room which seemed to be made of tree roots. He focused his eyes on the young boy sitting on a wicker chair in the corner of the room.
"Wh-where am I?" Sephiroth asked the boy.
The boy stood up, his blue robes waved in the air as he did so.
"You're in Gaudosalam," Said the boy in an upper-class accent. "You were brought here after saving me, thank you."
"You're welcome." Sephiroth leaped out of bed to realise that he was completely naked. He looked at the boy nervously. He stood before the blue haired boy in all his nakedness. They both blushed.
"Erm, Your clothes are over there." The boy said pointing the a chair on the other side of the bed.
Sephiroth grabbed the silk sheet and covered himself.
"Can you give me a few minutes boy? I can't call you boy, you do have a name right?"
"I'll return when you've composed yourself," The boy smiled. " And my name is Seymour, Seymour Guado."
"Give me a few minutes Seymour."
"Very well." Seymour said as he left the room.
Sephiroth removed the sheet once more and looked at his leg. The wound had vanished. Sephiroth figured that this world must use magic also.
He climbed across the bed and put on his clothes. He walked across the room and through the door that Seymour had exited through. Sephiroth looked in the hall way to see two men with strange skin chasing after a small golden pup. The men put on a comical performance, yelling and shouting at the dog until the creature ran and jumped into Sephiroth's arms. Sephiroth held the pup and held it away from the two men.
"Give us the creature!" Yelled one of the men.
"If I do, you'll harm him." Sephiroth responded.
"He fouled on Maester Jyscal's antique rug! He can not be allowed to roam freely." The man said angrily.
"I'll make sure he doesn't repeat his actions, If you allow me to be his keeper."
"Suit yourself," The man said rudely. "But if he does anything at all wrong we will have his head and yours."
"Sounds fair," Sephiroth said sarcastically. "You have my word."
Deciding that he would be safer in the bedroom Sephiroth walked back into the room with the pup in his arms. He kicked of his boots and lay on the bed again. He let the pup sit on his chest.
The golden animal began to bark in a cute manner, it began panting and licking Sephiroth's face. Sephiroth giggled like a young child as the dog's tongue lapped his face. It jumped from his stomach to the mattress and rolled onto it's back exposing it's own stomach. Sephiroth began to tickle it's tummy while the creature rocked back and forth. After a few moments the dog stopped being playful and curled next to Sephiroth.
"We've got to give you a name little cub." Sephiroth thought of possible names. "I've got it! I'll call you Daigoro."
Sephiroth gained this name from a graphic novel he had read once named Lone Wolf and Cub, the cub of the tale, a young child was named Daigoro. Sephiroth found that quite an interesting name.
The door creaked open slowly. Seymour emerged from the doorway carrying a tray of food. He carried some sort of pudding, a plate of vegetables and murky liquid in a glass.
"It seem that you have made a new friend." Seymour said.
"I have," Sephiroth smiled. "I've also made a few enemies."
"Don't worry about them, they are just old men with time to kill. I thought you could use something to eat."
"You thought correctly."
Seymour carried the tray over to Sephiroth and placed it on a bed side cabinet.
"Sir, I do not know your name." Seymour said awaiting an answer.
"I'm Sephiroth."
"If you don't mind my asking, why were you out there?"
"I was in a battle and I woke up there."
"You must have been in contact with Sin. People who come in contact with the toxins suffer memory loss."
Sephiroth had no idea what this Sin thing was but he decided to play along. He lifted to bowl of pudding and put it beside Daigoro. The pup awoke from his sleep and began to lap up the food.
Seymour looked at Sephiroth strangely.
"I'm surprised your dog is eating that stuff, I know I wouldn't."
Sephiroth smiled at him before he tucked into the vegetables. After he finished his food and drank whatever was in that glass he sat on the edge of the bed.
"Seymour, I hope you don't mind my asking but what race are you and those men?"
"We are Gaudo but not so much me I am the only recorded Human-Gaudo in existence." Seymour said sadly.
Sephiroth gave him a pitiful look. It was honest pity not mockery.
"I thank you for your hospitality but I feel I must leave, I have many things to do."
"Very well but please wait a few moments."
Seymour left the room while Sephiroth got dressed. Before Sephiroth had finished placing on the second boot Seymour returned carrying a wide brimmed hat like those associated with Samurai and a long flowing red cape.
Sephiroth took the hat and the cape from Seymour and put it on. He looked at himself in the mirror. He had to admit to himself that it looked good on him.
"One more thing," Seymour said and the clicked his fingers. Three men entered the room carrying the Masamune which was now encased in a sheath decorated with purple and red gems that sparkled in the light, similar gems were on parts of the handle, it also had a strap so that he would no longer need to carry it but could strap it over his back.
"This is my way of thanking you for saving my life, I hope you don't mind the customisation."
"I love it!" Sephiroth yelled happily.
"We have a ship going to Luca if you wish to be taken there. Free of course."
"Luca?" Sephiroth asked.
"The largest city in Spira."
"That would be great."
"If you follow our blitzball team to the shore they will escort you to Luca, they're playing in the tournament."
"Thank you for everything Seymour, until we meet again."
"I'm sure we will he replied."
He took the sword and attached it to his back. He lifted Daigoro in his free hands and left the room to see the Blitzers leaving.
Sephiroth left with the Blitzers and after arriving at their private dock, went on the boat.
After taking a nap on one of the boat's many beds Sephiroth awoke to hear the noises that could only be heard at a major sports event. The excitement could be felt before they even docked. Even Daigoro felt the excitement as he was barking and jumping around happily. His tail wagged frantically while Sephiroth could only giggle.
That's it for chapter two. Please review, thank you.
