Chapter 4: Chasing
=========================================================
--At the Silamne--
Midas grew impatient, for he was waiting for the rest of his servants to arrive, but they didn't. "They should be here by now" said Midas.
After a lot time of waiting, he went out of Cloud's Gate. Later, it was called the Bleeding Gate, for none of the Essanth had ever seen something like that since the Beginning, even though the Qüa-pori was revived, the Gate never completely healed and continued bleeding Light until the End of days.
Midas was out to watch if they were anywhere in sight. After some moments of just watching at the Nothingness, he saw them.
There were about 5 of his servants fighting a figure, not visible, for it was far away, almost lost in the Nothingness. He saw as the figure slowly, but surely, to defeat all of his servants, one by one, by slicing their throats with his sword or by stabbing at them too many times for a body to bear. He saw that the figure stood up at his full length, he was about 6'3" high, and was walking towards him. Midas just stood there, watching the figure approaching him until it finally spoke:
"So we meet again, Midas." he had a serious tone in his voice, confident about itself and what he was doing here.
"Iramsy, what a pleasant surprise!" said with sarcasm Midas. "Why didn't you tell me that you were coming? I would've gathered all of my servants before to give you a pleasant welcome!" said Midas.
It was now visible, and you could see that he was in a White Cloak, covering him entirely except for his face. He had green eyes and somewhat curly, short, brown hair. His skin was almost as pale as Midas's, but only by the help of the Sun, that was not true.
"How many times have you interfered with me and my plans? They must be around 2, am I right? One time in the First Days and another about an hour ago." Iramsy just continued looking at him, with no expression somewhat on his face.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were enjoying your freedom at the Second World. I never thought you were stupid enough to return to the Silamne. You know Soüla risked too much by doing that big favor to you. But don't think she's out of my servitude, for she's still loyal me."
"She owes me her loyalty. Every Essanth on this pathetic World owe me their servitude, for I am their King."
"Nay." said Iramsy. "Some are still fighting against you and your servants."
"And they always loose, for they are too weak. They should blame the humans! They are the ones creating more and more of them, the Late Essanth*. But still, they are too weak to fight against us, the First and Second Essanth, for they are mortal, like humans." said Midas, disgusted at the thought of his people being like the humans.
"Even if they are weak, they are appearing more and more, and one day they will win you and I'll finally destroy you."
"How touching. My Creator wants to destroy me! Hah, I'd love to see HIM try!"
"Shut up! I was the one that created you and you started this madness, and I'll be the one ending it before it goes out of hands!" Iramsy had anger and lust on his green eyes, emerald turning to ruby at talking to Midas.
"Madness? Madness?!?!" asked an astonished Midas. "YOU were the one who started this all. YOU were the one who created me. YOU are the one that stopped and has been stopping my plans since the Beginning. If you would just stay out of my way, then there would be no more suffering."
They just continued staring at each other and after a long time of silence at the Nothingness, Iramsy finally spoke.
"Why are you doing this? You could destroy the Three Worlds if you continue this!"
"To be free." said simply Midas.
"Just for that? Just to be free, you've killed hundreds of people, not including my daughter!!! Why can't you stay at Peace at your World, like the rest of us have tried since the First Days?!"
"Your daughter?" asked Midas and he was in a deep thought. "Oh, yes, I remember her. Do not worry, for she's still alive, like the rest of the Damned Souls**. You just have to look well, but if you find her, then she'll be at risk of dying, and she'll never see the Third World or her people." said Midas.
Iramsy's eyes lightened, for he found out that his daughter was safe from physical damage, but from damage to her soul and mind, she was not.
"You have no idea what power the Black Materia has."
"Oh, I know well. I know damn well! If you remember to the First Days, I was the one who created it."
"I remember perfectly, for I was the one that discovered you and luckily, stopped you before you destroyed the Two Worlds."*** He said this with a smile on his face, for he was successful by stopping Midas in the First Days.
"Yes, but at what cost, Iramsy? At what cost did you saved the Two Worlds? You're a murderer, just like me! No wonder did I have gotten out like this, for my Creator was just like me. At least I kill slowly, one by one, human or Essanth. But you, you've killed more than anyone in Ages."
"But at least, the Third World was created." Iramsy then started to remember when he had killed almost all of his people, and a tear slid down his cheek, but he had to do it or the Planet would've been destroyed. (A/N: I'm referring to the First World as the Planet from here on, Ok?)
"Stop weeping!" said an angry Midas. He couldn't stand the fact that a First Being older than himself was crying. He didn't care. In fact, he enjoyed the moment, but he had no time to waste and Iramsy was only making him to slow down.
"I suggest you to go find Cloud, for he is lost in the Silamne." Midas signals the way Cloud had went and continued. "I think he should reach The Great Gates by now, if he continued that road he was taking. If not, he's lost. He's out there, in the Nothingness, and you're just wasting your time here, for you cannot stop me, even you know that."
"But at least I can try!" said defiantly Iramsy as he got up and draw his long sword made of crystal. Balor, it was named.
"You shan't have the time or strength, for if you look behind you, my servants are gathering."
Iramsy slowly turned around and he saw at least 50 Essanth, of the Middle Essanth since Midas was the only First among them, thus he was the King. He saw that the ones he had defeated before were there also. For the first time in Ages, Iramsy felt again fear, for he thought that not even with the help of Cloud would he win this deciding battle of the Three Worlds. He turned to look at Midas and saw that he had a smirk on his face. He knew that Iramsy felt afraid and was savoring this moment. Iramsy looked again the road to where Cloud had gone, then back at Midas.
"This won't be the last time we meet, Midas. The Final Battle for the Three Worlds won't be too far from now and when it comes, I'll have the men necessary to finally defeat you."
"And I will be prepared too, for not all my forces have yet gathered."
Iramsy started to run down the road to look for Cloud, for he was lost in the Nothingness and he could get killed, for Iramsy noticed that the Bleeding Gate was Cloud's. He knew what this meant: that he was mortal and that he was in great danger.
"Make haste Iramsy, for your time is running out!!!" yelled an amused Midas behind him. Midas didn't even try to stop Iramsy, for he knew that he was going to win, no matter what Iramsy did.
Iramsy decided to ignore him and to continue with his search for Cloud, who again, will decide the fate of the Three Worlds.
"Hope Destiny is on our side." said Iramsy to himself as he lost out of sight from Midas in the Nothingess.
After some moments, Soüla appeared behind Midas, for she had come along with some other Second Essanth. Midas stopped laughing and turned serious again.
"Follow him", said Midas, "And find out where Cloud is going. After you've done that, return here as soon as you can. I just want to know where he is, only that, you heard me? Don't do anything stupid like trying to kill them before, for I want to kill Cloud." Soüla nodded and started running towards the direction Iramsy had taken and disappeared from sight as she went down the road into the Nothingness.
=========================================================
--Cloud's Villa--
++Yuffie++
Yuffie slowly opened her eyes and looked around her. She saw everyone asleep and then remembered what had happened before. She couldn't believe it. Vincent and Tifa had just put them to sleep, which was very strange for her, since she didn't knew what was happening at the other Worlds.
When she looked around, she found that Tifa was also asleep on the couch.
'Maybe they've lost it' she said to herself. She saw that Vincent was on the bathroom and was about to come out, so she used this time to put on a Ribbon for the Sleep spell not to affect her. She closed her eyes as Vincent went out the bathroom and looked at everyone. He then started to talk:
"Dibbë sgût Xuq-mef" Yuffie couldn't understand the words that Vincent was uttering, for it was a language far older than her. But she didn't cared and as she had expected, he casted a Sleep spell on everyone except for Tifa. He then went to prepare something to eat for himself and Yuffie used this moment to try and wake everyone up.
She tried with Cloud, for he was the strongest of everyone and the leader, but he wouldn't wake up. Persistent she was, but she couldn't get what she wanted and instead, she tried to wake up Barret. But at this time Vincent saw her and casted a Sleep spell on her, but it didn't work. Yuffie saw that she was discovered and she didn't care about the rest of the gang right now. She just wanted to flee and save herself and then she would try and come back to save the others.
She then started to run towards the door, and went out. She was going out Costa del Sol, but as she was reaching the gates of the city, Vincent appeared at the bridge and pulled out Death Penalty and fired at Yuffie. The bullets shot past her but one hit her on her leg. The pain was incredible. Yuffie started to slow down as she went out Costa del Sol and out of Vincent's sight and she fell on the grass and started to rest. After some moments of resting, she started to heal herself up with her Cure Materia
++Vincent++
He was very busy preparing some food for himself. As he was doing some sandwiches, he heard some noise behind him. He thought that it was probably one of the gang making noises when he/she was sleeping and he ignored it.
"Rüq gonemt" he said moving his head disapprovingly. But then he heard it again and as he turned around, he saw Yuffie trying to wake up Barret. His first impulse was to put her again to sleep, but he saw that the spell had no effect and that Yuffie went out the Villa into the town.
He then followed her and got out Death Penalty and started to shoot at her. Some bullets missed, but one hit her on her leg and she was slowing, but she soon got out of sight. He decided to leave her, for she wasn't very important but he had to be more careful to look out for her if she decided to come back for her friends, something he doubted a lot. He then entered again the Villa to continue his little lunch as if nothing had ever happened and wished that he was at the Silamne aiding his master.
=========================================================
*First Essanth: The first Essanth to be created; created by the Cetra. They appeared along with the Second World in the Begginning. They are immortal and have immense power and fighting skill.
Second Essanth: The second Essanth to be created; created by the First Humans. They appeared when the First Humans went to sleep, not long after the death of almost all the Cetra, for few of them remained alive. They are immortal, for the power of the First Humans when they first appeared was almost that of the Cetra.
Late Essanth: The third Essanth to be created; created by the present humans. They are mortal, for there are more and more humans appearing at the First World, (the humans getting weaker by the day, for the Planet hasn't enough energy to make them all strong) thus creating even more Late Essanth at the Second World.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
**Damned Souls: try to think which they are! Come on, you can do it!! ;)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
***Two Worlds: In the Beginning, there were only Two Worlds, and later on, the Third was created. You'll see how it was created on another chapter.
