Ch. 11 - The Lost City and The First Battle

Kinie: It's. Maigoshi.

Cloud: it's what?

Azi: It's Maigoshi, the Lost City! I didn't think it existed!

Barret: What the hell is this... Mega-she-whatever-the-hell-it's-called place?

Kinie: It's been said in legends that this city is the most advanced city ever constructed in the entire universe.

Aeris: Whoa! But, how did it become A Lost City?

Azi: As the legend goes, one day, a massive earthquake broke the city away from the peninsula it was connected to, and it became a floating island, left to be carried on by the sea currents. The citizens knew of the quake beforehand, and they left the city before it occurred. But they didn't know about it breaking away, so they were left homeless, and soon became a nomadic people.

Tifa: That's an interesting legend.

Kinie: Apparently, it's not a legend.

Cid: Hey, guys. You want me to land her, or not?

Cloud: Oh, right. Go ahead Cid, land the ship.

Cid lands the airship, and they all set off to the city. As they head toward the outskirts of the city, they see 3 figures standing in the middle of their path.

Kinie: It can't be.

Azi: It couldn't be.

Kinie: But it is.

The man in the middle of them steps forward.

Andy: How ya' all doing on this fine evening?

Kinie and Azi step up and face the 3. Everyone else, except for Sephiroth, take several steps back, in fear of a fight that is about to break out.

Kinie: Andy.

Andy: Azi.

Azi: Mike.

Mike: Kinie.

Kinie: Alex.

Alex: Azi.

Azi: Andy.

Andy: Kinie.

Kinie: Can we stop with the introductions now?

Andy: Yes.

Kinie: Good.

Azi: What do you 3 bakas want?

Mike: Call us what you may wish, but.

Alex: We overheard your conversation with the possessed Sephiroth.

Mike: And after a heated debate.

Andy: We decided to join forces with you.

Kinie: Sure, why--- wait a minute. Why do you want to help us?

Andy: Well. So much time has passed, that the bounty on your head is null- and-void! You're worth absolutely nothing!

Kinie and Azi: **Fall over anime style.**

Azi: **Anger vein popping out of forehead** And that's your only reason!?!

Mike: NO! That's not the only reason!

Alex: We're sick and tired of being the bad guys!

Andy: We want to be the good guys now, and what way to start off then to help save the universe?

Kinie: Nice plan. Hey, Sephiroth?

Sephiroth: Yes?

Kinie: You coming with us, or not?

Sephiroth: What do you mean?

Azi: Don't you remember? Mind-controlling person. Blood-thirsty revenge. Cold-blooded murder? Any of this ring any bells?

Sephiroth: Oh. Right. **Runs up, and joins Azi and the others.**

Kinie: Oh, right. Before I forget. **Reaches into backpack, and pulls out Sephiroth's Masamune, and hands it to him.** I believe this is yours.

Sephiroth: Thank you for taking care of it for me. **Clips it to his belt.**

The 6 begin walking, and enter the city grounds.

Tifa: I guess... They're not going to fight.

Cloud: It appears not. **Runs after them.** Kinie! Azi! Wait--

Cloud runs into an invisible force field, and gets knocked back toward the others.

Voice: ~ Sorry. Only these 6 can enter the city. Feel free to watch their demise from above though. ~

Yuffie: Kinie! Azi! Came back, it's a trap!

Voice: ~ They cannot hear you, nor can they see you, too. They are in their own little world now, and no one can save them. ~

Cloud: Damn. There is nothing we can do now except watch.

Aeris: And pray.

The others head back toward the airship. Meanwhile, Kinie, Azi, Sephiroth, Andy, Mike, and Alex begin walking toward the center of the city.

Andy: So. Who do you think the bad guy is?

Azi: Who said it was even a guy? It could be a girl, you know!

Andy: I meant 'guy' as in 'person,' not as in a male person.

Azi: Oh. Gomen.

They continue walking down the street, and soon come across several different paths.

Kinie: Hmmm. It seems that our path is divided.

Sephiroth: we can see that, Captain Obvious.

All of a sudden, a brick falls from the sky, and hits Kinie right in the head.

Kinie: **REALLY dazed** Duy, which way did he go, which way did he go?

Azi: **Does impersonation of Bugs Bunny** He went thata way! **Points both left and right.**

Kinie: Duy, thanks. **Falls to the ground, unconscious.**

Sephiroth: And this is the guy that defeated me?

Azi: Screwy, ain't it?

Alex: Umm. Why did a brick fall from the sky?

And: Welcome to Mr. Bad-Person's entertainment show. Here, Mike and Alex will fight a person to the death. After that, Azi and Andy will fight another one of my lackeys. Then, Sephiroth will face a special person that I have in store for him. If all three win their matches, I will come out, and face Kinie in a duel for the universe. Good luck. **Maniacal, evil laughter.**

Azi: Why did you say that?

Andy: That is what the piece o paper said that was tied to the brick?

Azi: Even the maniacal, evil laughter part?

Andy: Yep. **Shows the piece of paper to Azi, which has 'MANIACAL, EVIL LAUGHTER' in big, bold letters.

Azi: You know a bad guy is really bad when he has his opponents laugh for them.

Kinie: **Now standing as though nothing had happened** Does it tell is which way to go?

All of a sudden, a second brick falls from the sky. Kinie, looking up at that moment, sidesteps where he was standing, and the brick lands with a loud thud.

Kinie: HA! You missed!

A third brick falls, at hits Kinie on the head, causing him to fall to the ground, unconscious again.

Azi: The second note says, 'keep walking north.'

Andy: And the third note says, 'No I didn't.'

The 5 continue walking north, as Azi drags Kinie several feet behind him. All of a sudden, he stands up, dusts himself off, and joins the others in walking.

Kinie: Baka! 1'm g01ng 70 k1ll 7h1s b4d guy!

Sephiroth: What the hell did he say?

Alex: All I understood was baka and guy.

Azi: It seems that, for the time being, he can only speak in basic l44t and Japanese.

Sephiroth: But why?

Azi: Probably from being knocked unconscious twice within 30 seconds. His speech center was damaged from the blunt trauma of having two bricks hit his head.

Sephiroth: Oh.

Azi: But if he starts spitting robots and/or cat ears out of his head, I'm outta here.

Sephiroth: Huh?

Kinie: F00ly C00ly.

Sephiroth: Huh?

Azi: I'll explain later.

All of a sudden, the building adjacent to the group explodes. The 6 jump back and take out whatever weapon they might have. As the smoke dissipates, a man walks over the rubble.

Man: I am Kara! I will be Mike and Alex's opponent!

As Kara approaches, Mike takes out a rail gun, and Alex has a beam gun ready to fire. Suddenly, Kara whips out a gattling gun, and opens fire on all 6 of them. The 6 scatter, and hide behind the building's rubble to avoid being hit in the crossfire.

Mike: Die bugger! **Aims and pulls trigger at Kara, but there is only head a clicking noise.** Huh? Crap! I'm outta ammo!

Alex: I guess it's up to me then! **aims and fires at Kara, but his gun too, is out of ammo.** Crap! Me too!

Kara: Die, buggers, die! **Fires at Mike and Alex. Mike gets hit in the arm as he ducks, and Alex gets hit in the shoulder as he ducks too.**

Azi: Hey, you two OK?

Alex and Mike: This? Tis only a flesh wound!

Alex: Well, I didn't want to use this, but now I have no choice! **reaches into his pocket with his other good arm, and takes out a watch.**

Mike: You're going to kill him with a watch?!?

Alex: Just watch, pun intended! **He pushes a button on the watch and pulls it to his mouth.** Isis Gundam, it's showtime! **steps out into the middle of the street.**

Kinie: Wh47 7h3 h3ll j00. j00 s4y gund4m?

All of a sudden, the earth begins to shake. It breaks beneath Alex's feet, and he disappears in the dust. All of a sudden, he quickly rises up, and is now standing on top of a black version of Shining Gundam from 'G Gundam.'

Kara: What the. Die! **Fires up at Alex.**

The gundam's hand rises up, and blocks the bullets from hitting Alex. The gundam's chest opens up, and Alex jumps into the cockpit, and closes the hatch.

Alex (speaking threw an intercom in the gundam's mouth): Time to die, Kara! **Reaches behind his back, and pulls out a BIG beam cannon. He points the barrel down at Kara, who just stares at the Gundam.**

Kara: Well. I'll be damned.

Alex/Isis Gundam pulls the trigger. A beam flies out, fries Kara, and digs a crater about 50 meters wide and 30 meters deep into the earth. A few seconds later, Alex opens the hatch, jumps down, and pushes the same button on the watch. The cockpit closes, Isis' eyes flash green, and descends back into the earth.

Sephiroth: What the HELL was that machine?

Azi: That, my hot bishounen, is called a Gundam.

Sephiroth **Speaking quietly** Note to self: Get a Gundam at all costs.

Kinie: Masho iku. **Begins walking north, toward the center of the city.**

Andy: What did Kinie say?

Azi: **Following after Kinie** He said, 'Let's go.'

The others begin following Kinie and Azi toward the center of the city.
