Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy IX, Squaresoft does. Also, I do not
own the term "One Winged Angel". It's from Final Fantasy VII, which too is
owned by Squaresoft, but the plot is mine! MINE! Mwahahaha!...I did it! : :
Cassete Player falls out of pocket: :...just forget I did that...
Author's notes: Again, inside a '_' is a character's thought, a ( _ ) is an author's note, after a \*/-\*/- means it leaves the character's POV for a while. This story will be in Yuki's POV, and this is Quina! +_+
Act III
"The One Winged Angel"
\\*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*- *_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*//
I was crying now. In the pile of what used to be the hotel, they couldn't find my brother...I couldn't believe it, he was dead, and I didn't know what to do. "Don't worry Yuki, we'll find your brother and the culprit of this", Vivi, he was so sweet. He didn't care who I was or what I used to look like. He just cared. "What happened here?", a voice said from behind us. We spun around, seeing that it was Eiko. "Eiko! What are you doing here?", Zidane asked. "One of my moogles said that you and the other Black Waltz were coming here." "You sent a moogle to spy on us?" "Well...not really...and I still don't trust those Black Waltzes.", Eiko said, harshly. My tears became more intense, then I yelled it. I didn't want to, but it just came out. "Why do you hate us?! I didn't want to be made by Kuja or hurt Vivi! I'm no different from any other person! Just because I looked different doesn't mean you can hate us!", Eiko gasped. I didn't know what to do. "Yuki...", Vivi tried to comfort me, but I refused. "NO! I don't want to be here anymore! Leave me alone!", I turned and ran into the forest. I couldn't believe what I did. As I was running, I heard one last thing... "Eiko! Why did you have to say that?! Yuki, wait!", I didn't look back... the tears flowed even more...I had to run.
\\*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*- *_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*//
10 minutes later...
I was tired. My legs had terrible fatigue, and still, I was crying. I tripped on a tree root, landing hard on my hands. I twisted my ankle, and my arms hurt badly. I sat there and cried some more. I was alone... Eiko hated me, Zidane hated me, Amarant hated me. Only Vivi and my brother cared for me...then I heard a growl behind me. I turned around, and much to my dismay, there was a Zaghnol, staring at me. I forgot my staff, which was a vital mistake. I couldn't run away, all I could do is try to use my magic. I stuck my arms out, and screamed fire. The Zaghnol began to charge. I closed my eyes, and I felt heat begin to tingle on my palm, but it quickly faded away. Then I heard the Zaghnol squeal, I opened my eyes and saw my brother, standing in front of the Zaghnol's carcass, a single arm out while the other arm supporting his badly mangled leg with his staff. His entire suit was scorched, his chest plate was melted, and his left wing, also badly mangled, scratch marks made it look like someone tried to rip it off. He limped as he tried to walk to me. "Yuki! What are you doing out here? It's dangerous!", I just looked away. "Can you walk, Yuki?" "No, I think I sprained my ankle." "Where are the oth- Aggh!", my brother fell forward onto his chest, but I saw no one there. Then I looked to my brother. His feathers were being ruffled up, like he was attacked by an invisible force. Whatever it was, it was vicious. It didn't stop once to take a breath and it just kept clawing, but I saw a foot mark on my brother's wing. There was an invisible attacker! Before I could respond, Needle's wing flew up into the air, and a sickening CRUNCH followed along with a cry of pain. His wing was torn off. "Yuki! Where are you?!", I recognized that voice. "Yuki! I'm sorry, now please come out!" "Come out! Quina hungry already!", when I heard them, I heard a ruffle as the attacker swiftly escaped. "Vivi! Over here! Please hurry!", I screamed, hoping to get they're attention.
\\*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*- *_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*//
"Hahaha...you have served me well...", Kuja said, looking down at a silhouetted figure. "Thank you master, I shall kill them next time...", the figure said in a dry, scratchy ( harsh, low, etc. ) voice. "Master! Alexandrian soldiers are attacking!" "Alexandrian soldiers are attacking, Master!" "And Princess til Alexandrios Garnet is with them!", Zorg and Korg said in unison. "I have a job for you...", Kuja said to the figure. "Yes master. I shall rid of them. Hahaha...", the dark figure said, slowly disappearing into the air.
\\*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*- *_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*//
10:00 PM...
"Are you sure your okay?", Vivi asked. I nodded. We were in the quickly rebuilt hotel ( now that's fast working, and the mages are pretty quick workers ), I was covered in a blanket, drinking hot cocoa while my brother was getting stitched. "Why would anyone want to tear somebody's wing off?", Mr. 288 asked. "It was Kuja, no doubt about it!", Zidane said, an annoyed tone in his voice. "Listen, I'm sorry about all the stuff I said, okay?", Eiko said, hopeful for my forgiveness. I nodded again. I was mute on the way back to the village. I don't know how, but I was. "But I still don't know why Kuja broke the rules making more than three Black Waltzes.", Zidane said. "Me know!", Quina said, startling me, and evidently everyone else. "Why?", Eiko asked. Before Quina began speaking, she wagged her tongue, which amused me, making me giggle silently. "Kuja evil!", everyone, including me, fell down ( anime fall-down ). "We all know he's evil. But maybe he's lonely?", Eiko said. "Nah...with those annoying jesters? Maybe...", Zidane said. "Because he knew he was strong enough to.", again, everyone was startled. It was Needle. "What do you mean?", Mr. 288 asked. "Well, he needs to sacrifice some of his strength to make us. All our strength is stored in our wings." "So that's why he tore Yuki's and your wings off? But why did he break the rule?" "When I was made, he said that waltzes do not have just three, we have infinite lives." "..." "::sigh:: when one Black Waltz dies, it's energy is returned to Kuja. And when Kuja makes a new Black Waltz, he uses the same energy from the one who died to give life to the new one.", Needle said, giving me an echo screen to gulp down. After a few seconds, I got my voice back. "So does that mean that he made, another Black Waltz?", I asked, in hopes that Kuja didn't. "Possibly, but it is not yet certain...", Needle responded. "Oh great, so we have to fight another Black Waltz?", Zidane said, tired. "B-but then if the any of you die, then won't Kuja just make another one?", Vivi asked. "Then none of us can die then!", I said. "Okay, but we'll need somebody who knows petrify.", Zidane said. "M-me", Vivi and I said, simultaneously. So we were up for the job. "Okay! Let's go kick some @$$!", Needle said...
\\*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*- *_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*_*-*//
So...? How do you like it? Good? Bad? Anyway, it's a Saturday tomorrow, so I'll be able to probably post Act IV up...wait...sorry, least likely. I have to attend a card tournament...or maybe...ah whatever...If you like my story, please read and review.
Anyway, Mahalo for now!
