LOL! I had this whole beginning written out and then I had to change it
because I kept getting submissions. So, I want to thank the following
people for submitting: Ninja Girl Emi, onewingedtenshi6, princessofpain25,
raistlin23, KrystalDragoness, Mayzon, and nikeblue2000.
Now, here are the new characters added: Azumi "Zuzu" Moonlight, Alessa "Bloody Shi" Manson, Ebonie "Akira" Vaiknoras, Eric "Fate" Mendoza, Angelina Nicole "Angel" Lockheart, Michael "Zen" Porter, Jeri "Aeris" (no, not the one from FF7), and Spike.
Just another note, I haven't played much of Final Fantasy X yet, so bear with me if some of the characters seem off (I haven't gotten to Yuna yet. ::frowns:: ) So if I am not getting it right send me a little email on how I can improve them. Thanks!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A tall woman jumped behind a short brick wall, escaping the explosive gunfire aimed at her. The long black trench coat she wore was hit by a single bullet and she glared at the ugly hole. She frowned, aqua-marine eyes flaring. Sheathing her Katana, now useless at this point she pulled out her rifle and stood. She grinned.
"So you bastards wanna play?" She pulled the trigger, aiming it at the nearest one. The impact of the bullet caused the android's body to explode. She ducked again, the other bullets missing her. She stood and finished the rest. Stepping out from behind the wall she grinned, kicking at the small metal body. There was a beep. She glared down at it and frowned, realizing what she had done. It was counting down. "Oh, how perfectly lovely. A bomb!" She yelled, and dove behind the wall, taking cover just as the cylinder exploded. She crouched, holding her hands over her head. The debris picked up from the blast was sent into the air, dust landing on her silver hair, turning it a dull brown, and taking the shine off her boots.
Tidus stood on the shores of a beach, watching the sun set Yuna standing next to him holding on to her staff. Wakka walked up behind him.
"Hey, what's happening?"
"The sea feels strange." Yuna said, eyes carefully watching the ocean. Wakka frowned, spinning his blitzball. Tidus doubled over just then, his stomach rumbling.
"Ohh!"
"You hungry again?" Wakka asked, laughing. Tidus grinned.
"Yeah, I guess I am." From behind Auron and Rikku approached, walking down the sandy road.
"Things will change soon." Auron frowned, his sunglasses turned red from the sun. Rikku looked up at him.
"What are you talking about now?"
"Wait." Was all Auron said, as they stared out into the sea. The sky suddenly turned darker, and an enormous swell rose out of the ocean, looming over them.
"It's SIN!" Wakka yelled, taking a step backwards. The wave didn't give them a chance to do anything before crashing down on them and sucking them all out into the sea. There, a whirlpool sucked them in, and they spiraled down to the bottom of the ocean.
Lexiter stood up and dusted off her jacket, frowning. She heard a thud on the other side of the wall and crouched down again, reloading her rifle. She walked around the other side of the wall and saw random bodies laying there.
"What the- where did they come from?" She asked, bewildered. Laying against the wall upside down was a boy with sandy-blonde colored hair. Surrounding him were four others, all groaning.
"Oh man, my head." The red haired one stated, rubbing his head. He stood up, adjusting his eyes.
Lexiter growled and raised the rifle. Auron stood and held out his sword. "Don't make a move." He said. She frowned at them both, angry, when a sudden shouting could be heard from around the corner. She spun quickly, pointing her rifle towards the androids that turned the corner, and shot at the first on before running between Auron and Wakka. The androids kept shooting after she was gone. The group jumped up, realizing they were outnumbered and ran after the tall woman.
"HEY! WAIT UP!" Tidus yelled after her. She stopped, holding her rifle out. They froze and threw themselves at the ground a second before a bullet exploded, taking out another 'droid.
"Let's go." She said angrily and ran to a van that was parked nearby. She ripped the door open and flew into the seat. "Get in!" She hissed as all but Wakka climbed in. "Didn't you hear me?"
"Come on Wakka!" Rikku called, grabbing his wrist.
"But, machina!" Rikku had the sense to slam the door behind him as Lexiter reached under the panel and ripped out two wires, connecting them. The van lurched forward and she took off, tires spinning. The 'droids had just turned the corner and shot at the van, but were unable to hit a tire.
Lexiter flew out of the city towards the country, her eyes narrowed to slits. "Why were they after you?"
"Who?"
"Why were the androids after you?"
"How should we know? Where are we?" Tidus asked. Lexiter frowned.
"How can you not know where you are? Did you take a hit to the head that hard?"
"We were standing on a beach and then we ended up here."
"You're in Pontaine." She said simply. "I'll take you back to headquarters and let them deal with you." She said.
"What?" Auron asked. She ignored him and sped on.
After driving for about a quarter of an hour at top speed she pulled up outside the same building Jen and Daniel had used. She growled as she realized this was not an equipped car and grabbed her cell phone.
"Sypher."
"What the hell are you doing answering?"
"Nice to hear from you too Lexiter."
"BlackJack." She hissed.
"Sorry doll." She rolled her eyes.
"If you ever fucking call me doll again-"
"Yeah, yeah, you'll cut me to pieces, I get it. So why are you calling? Looking for a date?"
"SYPHER! I SWEAR ONCE YOU OPEN THIS DAMN TUNNEL AND I GET TO YOU I WILL KILL YOU!"
"Chill out BlackJack. Access granted. Have a-" Lexiter hung up the phone breathing heavily. How anyone didn't kill that man yet was beyond her. The car was lowered into the underground parking garage, no lights of for a minute while Lexiter waited. Once they turned on she turned into the nearest parking spot to her. The people with her looked amazed.
"Where are we?"
"Heaquarters." She replied simply and started walking. They climbed out, shutting the door behind them, Wakka looking a little frightened by all the machines. "Follow me."
She walked down the corridor to and elevator and stood in front of it.
"Identification."
"Lexiter Jackson."
"Number."
"Five Two Two." She stepped into the elevator with the rest of them and were brought down to a lower level. She turned right and quickly started to walk down the hall to Brenton's office. Throwing the door open, she walked in and glared at the man, not realizing he had others with him. People she didn't recognize.
"Yes?"
"I have some people for you to deal with. The androids were after them, but they say they have no idea where they aren't."
"Can't you see I'm-"
"I don't fucking give a damn," she said before walking out. She turned to the others. "Ask him the questions." She stalked out the door and headed towards her room, tired.
Jen stormed down the wide hall to her room, tears threatening her eyes. 'Damon's dead. Dead, dead, dead,' she kept repeating to herself. She passed one of her cadet's who attempted to say hello, but was met by a cold, vicious stare. She pressed her hand into the pad outside her rooms and tried to relax her voice.
"Jennifer Hynes Four Seven Three," the door clicked and she threw it open, slamming it shut behind her. She walked across her room and un- strapped her holsters, throwing it on the bed. She walked into her bathroom and looked at the knife on the counter. She sighed, a few tears dropping down as she ripped off her fingerless brown leather gloves. She put them on the edge of the sink, looking at the little row of scars under her thumb on each hand. She picked up the knife and carefully pressed down under the last one, causing a tiny bit of blood to rise. She did the same to the other arm and turned the water on, shoving them under to ease the burn.
"One for failing, and one for Damon," she murmured, pulling her wrists from under the sink. She watched as the blood trickled out, enough to leave a tiny scar, and be a constant reminder of her failure. There was a sharp knock at her door and she waited, hoping whoever it was would go away. They didn't and knocked again.
"HOLD ON!" She yelled from the bathroom, quickly shoving her already healing wrists under the water. The blood was washed away and she quickly grabbed two small bandages from the cabinet. She slapped them on the cuts and dried her hands, pulling her gloves on. The knock came again.
"I SAID HOLD ON!" She yelled angrily and ran to her bed, grabbing the revolver. She pulled the door open and pulled the hammer back, aiming it at Bennett again. He sighed.
"What the fuck do you want?" She articulated. "Give me one reason I shouldn't shoot you now for disturbing my rest.
"Brenton said to bring them here," he motioned to the others who stared at her in amazement. She sighed audibly.
"Why are you bringing them? Where's Janiyra?
"She was. . . with Damon." Jen hung her head.
"Get out of here." She said coldly. He quickly turned on his heels and left. She looked up to see the others standing there. "What am I supposed to do with you?"
"That man said we were to stay with you?"
"Ha! Fuck that." She said, and left the room, walking down the hall. "She won't be needing this anymore," she said sadly and pressed her hand against the panel.
"Jennifer Hynes Four Seven Three."
"Superior access granted." The voice said, door unlocking. Jen went in and looked around the immaculate room, motioning for the others to follow her.
"You can stay in here until I can get you other rooms. It was Janiyra's but she won't be needing it anymore. Do NOT touch any of her stuff. I will be by later to pick it up." Vincent looked at her tiny figure, a slightly trembling hand holding onto the gun. He looked at her gloved hands and saw two bandages poking out. Jen looked up to see him staring and front, adjusting her gloves. "Should you need anything, do not come to me." She shut the door behind her and walked back to her room, a sob filling her chest.
She was about to lay down before making her mark when there was a sharp knock at the door. Angrily she grabbed the revolver and threw the door open, aiming it at the person.
"Someone is angry." The tall female said coolly. Jen sighed and lowered the gun.
"Bennett has been driving me crazy. What's up?" She asked Lexiter.
"Tell your damn Sypher that if he doesn't stop fucking around, I will kill him." Jen suppressed a laugh.
"What did he do this time?"
"Harassment. And why was he answering the phones? Where's Arlington?"
"I have no idea. He must be on a break or something."
"Well, whatever. Just give him that message."
"Oh, I will," she shut the door, Lexiter stalking down to her room at the end of the hall.
Hope I portrayed her right! Email me or leave a review if it wasn't. More people will come in the next chapter, and hopefully the FF9 crew. Thanks for being interested! ^_~
