(That's Cupilese for "Cupil owns all!")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vyse ran, sand being kicked up behind him. He stopped when he saw the thing he was looking for, the thing he didn't want the others to see...
Aika's Tiki head necklace. (WHAT? My brother always keeps pointing it out to me! Grr...)
"So, she was here. And by the looks of no sand covering it, I'd say she was here not too long back." Amazing discovery, Sherlock.
He picked it up, the thread that always attached it to Aika's neck was broken. He touched the pendant, remembering...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vyse and Aika were playing tag in the middle of the big yard on Pirate Isle, 10 years ago. Aika tripped.
"HEY! Vyse, lookie at this!" She held up a small stone.
"What IS that?"
"I dunno. I like it. It pretty!"
Dyne called out from the underground. "Vyse! Aika! We need to head out!"
"Aye aye!" Vyse helped Aika get up. She looked at the mysterious stone she held in her hand
"Aika, maybe when we get back you can make something out of it!"
"Yeah!" She put it in her pocket of her tiny yellow outfit. Her short pigtails bounced.
"VYSE!"
"We're coming, Da-Captain!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~********************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And shortly after, he thought, I saved her life...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Albatross flew toward a burning ship. Vyse looked at it, and pointed at something.
"Hey, Dad! Someone's on it!"
"All right, bring her in! And it's CAPTAIN!"
"Aye aye."
The ship flew past and Vyse and Aika jumped off and landed on the burning wooden deck. Aika stood up and looked around.
"Hey! You there!" She saw a person amongst the flames. Vyse squinted. A voice penetrated their souls.
"You-you killed them. You shall all PAY!" A dagger flew out of the flames toward Aika and-
Scraped Vyse's cheek as he pushed her away. The person stepped out of the flames.
"Who...who are you?"
"Vyse." He touched his bleeding cheek, a scar that would be visible throughout his life burning.
"I shall avenge my family's death, Vyse." She pointed at him. "And I shall not stop slaying Air Pirates until I take you down!"
Vyse blinked, trying to see...
A flash of white hair burned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*********************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vyse closed his fingers around the pendant, the one carved from stone Aika had tried to give him for saving her life. He had refused, and given her a chain to wear it around her neck. He stood up and looked at the red moon.
"Aika...I hope you're all right. Hopefully you're underneath the red moon right now."
He walked back to camp.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aika woke up again. She looked around her new cell.
"Great. Another one? I'll just have to break through it again."
She sighed and felt for her necklace she turned to for support. She felt nothing but her bare neck.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY TIKI HEAD NECKLACE??????????????????"
"We didn't like it and threw it out the window." A cold voice said.
Aika stood in her attack pose. "Who's there?"
"We hired Vigoro because I knew you had a hard time with him. Your missing will cause Vyse's attack to be much...weaker." It was definitely a female's.
"But- wait...'we'?"
The door opened. Some people stepped in.
"Yes, Aika. We."
Vize, Anita, and Faina stepped out of the shadows.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Betcha didn't exactly expect that, huh?)
(On the sand near Maramba...)
"Good morning!"
Everyone grumbled and sat up.
"Wha...I just went to sleep, mommy." Gilder yawned.
"good...I missed Gilder."
"I didn't miss you."
Clara giggled and hugged his arm. "admit it! You've always wanted me!"
Fina giggled.
Enrique yawned and sat up. He saw Vyse fingering something in his pocket.
"What's that there?"
"nothing..." He took his hand out.
"No, really."
Marco, Gilder, Clara, Fina, and Tiria were wide awake now.
"It's..." He took out the necklace. "I found it in the sand."
Fina gasped. "Isn't that...Aika's?"
"Yeah."
"So then she must be nearby!" Marco turned pale.
"Hmm.." Tiria surprised everyone and asked Vyse. "Can I see it?"
"Sure."
Tiria examined it. She turned it over and over, all the while "hmm"ing.
"Let's go ask people in Maramba!"
"Do you even know where we are?"
"Yeah. Near Maramba." She pointed off into the distance, and everyone saw a fire emblazed pole. They looked the other way and glimpsed a small building far away.
"Then let's go!"
"Aye aye!"
AN: Sorry to leave you guys like that. Anyone know who was in the BIG BOSS chair? Yeah, it was him. You know. ^_^
