Chapter 1: A Journey of Two Friends
I don't own Suikoden 2; I definitely don't own any runes or characters either. But Devin and Dracius, them I do own, so back off if you plan on using them in some other thing or else ask me first. If you want to make fun of the characters' stupidity, tell me all about it. I'd enjoy it. Anyhow, this is about how Devin, Sierra's childhood friend, goes on a journey to be reunited with her since he found out she was alive from some guy, Richmond to be precise. This story is also about Dracius, a powerful immortal with big ambitions: Getting Leknaat's Gate Rune, getting Nall's Bright Shield Rune, killing Luc, killing Devin, and, above all else, to kill his own mother and father. See? He's not so bad. Please read and review. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The journey began with Devin. Sure, Devin was easily confused, indecisive, and just plain stupid, but beyond all that, he has a long lost love and a heart of gold. Well, maybe copper. He had on his right hand the Dark Dragon Rune, a powerful rune that summons the power of darkness, as do several other runes. He was never sure if his rune was a true rune. He just figured 'with 27/1000000 odds, how could it not be a true rune?' Good logic, huh? Anyway, Devin had short black hair, a black cloak with a hood, which he never seemed to put up, a brown scarf covering his mouth and nose, black gauntlets and boots, which he stole from Yuber, tan baggy pants (baggy like Tuta's, except longer and tan colored), a green tunic, and a black sword in a pitch-black sheath. I'm guessing his favorite color is yellow. Devin traveled with his best friend, Dracius. They had been friends since they were children about 1000 years ago. The journey starts in the Cave of Doom Scourge. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So you're sure it's safe to go through here? The old man we talked to said that not even Tir McDohl was able to get through here." Dracius asked Devin unsurely, seeing as Devin had a horrible sense of logic.
"Of course I'm sure, Drak. Tir McDohl had one True Rune, and we have two between both of us. Plus, the White Dragon and Dark Dragon True Runes are among the most powerful." Devin said.
"First of all, stop calling me Drak. Second, why do I listen to an idiot like you? You ate paint chips when you were a kid, for cryin' out loud! Last, you don't know if these are True Runes! You didn't even stick around to hear Leknaat tell us how to use them when she gave them to us! One more thing I just thought: If you're a vampire, why don't you have to suck blood?" Dracius yelled.
"Well, you listen to me because we're best friends, and I know these are true runes because they never mention all of the true runes. I don't suck blood because I don't like the taste." Devin said matter-of-factly.
"I hope you realize that unless a vampire who isn't under the influence of the Moon Rune and doesn't suck blood either goes nearly brain dead or dies? And who's 'they'? I hope you're not talking about the pixie gnomes in your head again." Dracius replied.
"No, they moved out last week." Devin stated. " When I said 'they', I meant Luc and Leknaat. They told me that the Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, Resurrection, Lightning, Bright Shield, Black Sword, Soul Eater, and Moon Runes were all of the 27 True Runes. It took me a few weeks to realize that all of those didn't add up to 27, so that means that there are more True Runes than those." Devin explained.
"Hmmm. Oh, that's right. You were dropped on your head a lot when you were a kid, too. Now it makes sense." Dracius laughed.
"Let's just get going." Devin said blankly.
Well, the "heroes" are off to a pretty bad start. They may get eaten, they might get lost and they die, and they might even kill each other first. That would give them about a 25% chance of survival. That's actually 72%, the way Devin does his math. As the two centuries-old friends began to trudge through the dark cave, Dracius began to think. 'This stupid vampire is going to get me killed. If I had a better rune than this pathetic White Dragon Rune, I could remove his soul from his body with ease. I could EAT the soul, too, if I so desired. Oh yeah, there will be a day of destruction for you, 'best friend!''
"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" Dracius cackled out loud.
"It's a good thing I've learned to ignore that." Devin responded, ignorantly.
"Oh, um, sorry, 'best friend. After all, you are my 'best friend' in the whole wide world." Dracius said in a really fake, horrible acting skills sort of way.
"Aw. That's a nice thing to say." Devin replied, blind to the fact that Dracius was being sarcastic.
As Devin and Dracius aimlessly roamed the cave, they fought many hordes of monsters. Devin saw these monsters as being weak fools, and therefore was very reckless in battle. He pretty much got as beat up and sliced as one can endure. Devin's unmatched stupidity cost Dracius a lot.
"Healing Breath!" Dracius shouted, causing a dragon familiar to emerge from his hand, which sprayed healing breath on Dracius and Devin. "Well I hope you're happy. That's the last bit of power I have left for that spell."
"Why not use energy you would use for other spells?" Devin questioned.
"I have no idea. It's as though each spell requires a unique energy." Dracius replied.
"Well, I guess we should keep going." Devin stated.
As Devin and Dracius continued, they ran into a large bear.
"AHH!!! It's Bear Man!" Devin shouted.
"Devin, you... Nope, it's too easy." Dracius muttered.
Devin drew his sword. "MO! DON' ATAFF FME!!" the horrible, horrible bear man who even had fur on his face shouted. "You see? That's his horrible, horrible battle initiating war cry!" Devin said to Dracius. "Well, I GUESS we'll kill it. But only because killing is among my few hobbies." Dracius responded. "Right. I'll start by chopping that fur off of its face! Die Bear Man!" Devin yelled. Devin's sword cut the fake fur clean off of the man's face. The slash took off some of the man's skin and a rather large portion of his nose. YEOW!!! What did you do that for you idiot? You're the dumbest guy I've ever met!" the man shouted. "Trust me. He'll amaze you with even greater levels of stupidity." Dracius said to Viktor, smiling that he met someone who also recognizes Devin's stupidity, but sad because he didn't get to kill the man.
"Whatever. Anyway I'm Viktor. What are you two small boys doing here in the Cave of Wind anyhow?" Viktor inquired.
"We're not THAT small compared to you." Dracius says, suddenly realizing Viktor's unreal height. "Never mind. Wait a minute! Did you say 'Cave of Wind?'"
"Yep. I'm here to return the Star Dragon Sword." Viktor said, holding up the sword while covering its mouth.
"GAH! RELEAFF ME YOO FOW BEER MON!" the sword said.
"I don't drink that much beer. Jerk." Viktor replied angrily.
"Pft. Big deal. I used that thing when it was still the Star Dragon Knife." Dracius said proudly. "Anyhow, DEVIN!?"
"What's up?" Devin asked.
"I can't believe you gave some gay old man 5000 potch for information on a secret entrance to the Cave of Wind."
"Did I really say 5000? Nooo. I gave him 50000."
"You did WHAT!?"
"Also, I gave him that 'dragon lord armor' of yours. Was that important?"
"Note to self: The day I kill Devin shall now be the second happiest day of my life instead of the third." Dracius mumbled so no one could hear.
"Right. Anyway, I know a quick way out, so you small boys oughtta come with me." Viktor said.
Well, while the three were walking, Viktor explained that the Star Dragon Sword destroyed all of his clothes with fire magic, so he had to wear those furs. Dracius explained how Devin has mental problems beyond that of anyone's imagination. Devin explained that he drinks tomato juice instead of blood. He said his mind and body couldn't tell the difference for some reason. Quoth Dracius, "In other words, what I just said." So, when they finally made it out of the cave, Viktor led the two boys to Genkaku Castle.
"By the way," Viktor explained. "You two are my prisoners now."
"Alright, enough kidding around. Look, Bear. I'm Dracius and this is Devin." Dracius said, obviously.
There was silence for a while.
"So?" Viktor responded.
"We're legendary warriors!" Dracius shouted.
There was another period of silence.
"Never heard of you." Viktor stated.
"Look. We're centuries upon centuries old! We're possessors of runes that contain the power of legendary dragon gods!" Dracius said.
"Listen, if you were so powerful, I'm sure you would have escaped by now or something. Now lemme show you to your cells." Viktor said as he dragged the two immortals to their prison cells. "By the way, in spite of what you may of heard, prison food sucks."
"Nice. Now we, two legendary heroes of old, must rot in a prison cell." A very angered Dracius said.
"Uh, Dracius, what did we do that was so special and heroic anyhow?" Devin asked.
"I don't know! We've lived since practically the dawn of time, though. Isn't that enough to impress people these days?"
"It certainly doesn't impress me, Dracius." A mysterious voice said in a mysterious tone.
"Great. It's Leknaat." Dracius said sarcastically.
"Well, well, well. Luc told me a pathetic lot was brought in, but I never imagined the lot to be as pathetic as you two. Too bad you didn't listen to me over 1000 years ago, Devin. You might be out of here by now." Leknaat explained.
"Um, you think maybe you could tell me now?" Devin pleaded.
"You must trust in your own power. Your rune shall guide you to freedom. Goodbye Devin. Dracius." Leknaat stated, disappearing afterwards.
"Did you get the meaning of that, Devin?" Dracius inquired.
"Huh? I wasn't even paying attention that whole time." Devin said lazily.
"You'll never change, will you Devin?" A strange yet familiar voice said.
"Oh, hello Sierra. How ya been?" Devin asked, still maintaining a lazy tone.
"Oh, you know, I've been fine considering the fact that you sealed me in a stone cage for decades before I could break out!" Sierra shouted, panting like a rabid dog. "But I see you've become a vampire since last we met all those centuries ago."
"Huh? AHH! I'm a vampire!" Devin yelled. "AHH! You're a vampire, too!"
"Why did I stop at wondering how you remember to breathe, Devin? Though I DO have to remind you a few times..." Dracius said. "So, yeah, Devin's rune turned him into a vampire. He went crazy at first."
"Well, the vampire thing was meant as a punishment." Devin pointed out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Why not kill her rather than seal her away, Devin? It's what you and I both want." Devin's rune had told him.
"You can talk? Weird. Anyways, I think it's best to seal her away until the Moon Rune's corruptive power dies down. Somehow." Devin replied.
"Oh, a vampire hugger, eh? Look, how 'bout I turn you into a vampire if you like them so much?"
"Yeah. You know what? You go ahead and try tha- GAH!!"
"HAHAHAHAHA!! Oh, it pays to be evil."
"Hey, Devin, you should- WHAT THE?" Dracius shouted as he made the scene.
"MWAHAHAHA!! You cannot save him, Drak." The rune replied.
"Save him? I want to thank you! But I guess I'll save him since you called me Drak." Drak, err, Dracius responded.
"RAWR!" Devin growled.
"Shut up. White Dragon Rune, save his pathetic and pitiful life yet again if you please." Dracius said.
Devin was broken free from one of the twelve spells cast on him. At least he could control himself, I suppose.
"Ouch. I'm thirsty. Let's go get some blood." Devin stated "By the way, rune, act up again and I'll stab you. It'll hurt, too, I think."
"Eh? How about this bear blood, Devin?" Dracius asked.
"Sweet!" Devin exclaimed as he began to drink the blood out of the bottle. He puked after the first sip. "GAH!! It's disgusting and putrid. Curse you, filthy bears!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Not a Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I've hated bears ever since." Devin said. "You had bear blood in a bottle, Dracius?" Sierra asked.
"Yeah. I put poison in it that causes severe brain damage. I was going to give it to you." Dracius said in an evil tone.
"You realize I'm right here and heard you when you said that, right?" Sierra questioned.
"Yeah. Why?" Dracius inquired.
"Just checking. So, what have you two been up to these past centuries?"
"Well, seeing as I forgot you were a vampire after I drank the bear blood, I thought you were dead so I just aimlessly roamed the world, drowned in self pity." Devin stated. "I thought of the good old days I spent with you, Sierra."
"Aw. That's so nice." Dracius and Sierra said at the same time, except Dracius was being sarcastic.
"I thought about that time that Dracius was sick, and you and I climbed Mt. Raijin to get him the antidote, and we had to stay there over night, and the only way for us to keep warm was to-
"Uh, that's a lot more information about you and Sierra than I ever wanted to hear, Devin." Dracius interrupted. "Oh, and what have YOU been doing, Sierra?"
"Well, since Devin's 'barrier' didn't seem to hold, I escaped to the forest and-
"Too much information there, Si" Dracius interrupted yet again.
"Si? SI? That name angers me, Drak." Sierra replied darkly.
"So? What do I care, OLD HAG?" Dracius responded.
"Drak, that's really not a good idea." Devin mumbled.
"Oh, right. Sorry, old BAT."
You could pretty much say every last raging fire the underworld had to offer broke loose right in that room. The coven mistress used these flames to nearly burn the insolent dragon's corpse to ashes. The not-smart vampire just watched the fire show.
"You're lucky you are one of my only friends, dragon." Sierra shouted as she stomped out of the room.
No sooner than Sierra left had a certain blue boy carrying a tray of food stepped in.
"So you're the prisoners, eh? What did you do, huh?" the man said.
"Look, my skin is completely scorched. Could I please have a paint chipper?" Dracius asked. The blue man handed one to him. "We didn't do anything. That bear man just threw us in here." Devin stated. "Hey! You're Blue Lightning Flik!" "Hmm. You don't look to be from around here. How would you know that?" Flik inquired. "Well, I gave up a mindfulness rune to read your mind for a bit." Devin replied, regaining his stupid demeanor.
"Uh, isn't that kind of a waste?" Flik questioned.
"It's never a waste when you're me." Devin retorted.
"Right. So, here's you lunch. Our head chef, Chef Nanami, cooked this especially for you two." Flik said as he handed the two small boys the tray. "Her cooking is truly magnificent, and she never passes up an opportunity to cook."
"Thanks." Devin said, once again using a lazy tone.
"Heh. Suckers." Flik chuckled as he walked away.
No sooner than Devin and Dracius had taken their first bite had they puked all over the prison cell floor.
"ACK! This stuff's disgusting! What is this?" Dracius asked.
"Hey, there's a paper here!" Devin exclaimed. "It says 'Chef Special: Raw Sewa'ge. Enjoy, suckers.' This is beyond cruel."
"That's it! I've had it with this place! Devin, we're bustin' out!"
To be continued.
So how was the first chapter? Reviews would help me a lot, so try to write a quick blurb please. Chapter two will be up soon.

"Right. So, here's you lunch. Our head chef, Chef Nanami, cooked this especially for you two." Flik said as he handed the two small boys the tray. "Her cooking is truly magnificent, and she never passes up an opportunity to cook."
"Thanks." Devin said, once again using a lazy tone.
"Heh. Suckers." Flik chuckled as he walked away.
No sooner than Devin and Dracius had taken their first bite had they puked all over the prison cell floor.
"ACK! This stuff's disgusting! What is this?" Dracius asked.
"Hey, there's a paper here!" Devin exclaimed. "It says 'Chef Special: Raw Sewa'ge. Enjoy, suckers.' This is beyond cruel."
"That's it! I've had it with this place! Devin, we're bustin' out!"
To be continued.
So how was the first chapter? Reviews would help me a lot, so try to write a quick blurb please. Chapter two will be up soon.
