Ch9: Just...OMG
Tiria gasped. Just seeing the new weapon for propeller ships was amazing.
But seeing this kind...one could even use it in a normal battle!
"The Magnititional Sciptica Dissillusionanite Optim Whimsically, which is also known as the Alkon Beam, can do anything the user wants it to. Rental Price: 15,000,000,000 gold. Rental only available for a week."
People started reading over her shoulder. All of them were gaping. But only Tiria saw the fine print:
"Only one is in use."
~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^
Not only was she alone and bleeding, but Marlinda was hyperventilating. Paranoia caught up to her.
AH! What was that?
Oh. Only a mouse.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"
Phew. Only a water droplet.
She kept breathing, trying to relax. trying to escape a dream soon to come.
Because Galcian hasn't been coming in very often lately.
~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~
Wow. In this dream, Marlinda felt taller, more important. as she looked down at her body, she gasped.
The scars were still there. But they were faded, like a piece of paper ripped apart and taped back together again.
Only she felt shattered.
Like glass.
And then she became that object.
She screamed and fell down. Wrong move.
~*^*^*^*^*^*^*^~*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*~^*^*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^
Her mind faltered. It ceased activity. The machines breathed for her. Moegi's chest rose up, then down. But not on its own.
Vyse and Enrique stood out in the hall. Their forms swirled back and forth.
A hand reached out to Moegi and grabbed her.
She woke up screaming.
Because that hand was real.
She kept screaming, but the giant hand hit her on the head, wrapped itself around her body and disappeared, Moegi vanishing from sight. Enrique came bursting into the room, all too late.
He stood in silence, staring at where Moegi was last seen, when Vyse, Aika, Fina, and Gilder ran up to him.
"Tiria has been notified." Gilder said unneccessarily
"Maybe she has a clue?" Vyse looked away.
He shook his head. he said nothing more.
"What do you think happened to her?" Aika tried to comfort him.
He sighed and finally turned around.
"Maybe she was taken to where Marlinda is."
Gilder stared right back.
"Gee, I sure hope so."
~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*~^
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"
"CURSE YOU!"
Marlinda, the blood red parrot, Moegi, and Galcian yelled in shock.
One: Moegi was dropped from the ceiling.
Two: Marlinda was right below her.
Three: The parrot had just flown in.
Four: Galcian was getting ready for another whipping.
So, they were very surprised when the hand had appeared fifteen feet above Marlinda's table and dropped Moegi.
Since Marlinda was tied to the table, Moegi landed on her daughter.
"OOF!"
"I'm so-MARLINDA!!!!!"
"MOMMY!!!"
Moegi flung her arms around her little girl and sobbed. Galcian sneered.
"What a nice little family reunion.Too bad I'll have to interrupt it."
Moegi glared at him and leaped off the table, landing in front of him. She spoke through her clenched teeth. "Don't you ever dare hurt my baby if you know what's good for you."
Galcian snapped and his whip transformed into his sword. Moegi raised her arms.
Marlinda couldn't take it anymore. "MOMMY! DON'T!"
"shush, baby, it's gonna be-argh." She dodged his sword again and again.
Now Marlinda was crying, but not by physical pain. It was the emotional pain that was eating up her insides.
Galcian raised his sword up high.
"MOMMY, NO!!!!!!!!"
~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~
Tiria was sailing once again. Only this time she knew-she KNEW- where Marlinda was.
Just follow the pretty red birdie.
Simple.
And then...
The rebirthed Hydra appeared among the clouds, with a new weapon attacthed to it's ray.
Now she knew who rented the new weapon for the week.
She glanced behind her and saw the Delphinus, the Claudia following it.
Everyone was coming.
and everyone was surprised at what they saw.
And what they heard.
~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~^
The sword transformed into a feather.
A blue feather.
One that looked similar to the one that was tucked behind Tiria's ear.
When Tiria leapt in the window, she saw.
Oh man, she saw.
And she remembered.
Just as Vyse and Enrique leapt in, she realized.
"FATHER!"
