Ch. 2

The Journey Begins

Angel wakes up "Rhaps..Rhaps wake up." Angel said getting out of bed and walking to Rhapsody's bed seeing she wasn't there. "Rhapsody where did you go?" Angel mumbled to her self. Rhaps walks in the door with her hands full of big bags. "Angel I'm back." Rhaps said putting the bags down on her bed. "Where have you been Rhaps." Angel said looking at the bags. "New toys?" Angel asked. "Yep. I got me a gunblade and got you your gloves." Rhaps said pulling a pair of black leather gloves out of the bag and tosses the to Angel. "Ooo pretty." Angel said putting them on. "Rhaps how much gil was this?" Angel asked looking through the other bags hoping to find some more weapons. "A few thousand." Rhaps said pulling out a shiny slate blue gun blade that has feathers engraved in the sides. "Rhaps why do you get the good weapon? "Angel asked looking at the gunblade. "Because, You will hardly be able to get one punch in on the fight with me around." Rhaps told her grinning. "Rhaps dose that mean that I don't get to fight?" Angel asked frowning. "Angel they must have got the order mixed up again." Rhaps explained. "Oh. Well, then did you get the attachments?" Angels asked looking through the last bag. "But of course." Rhaps told her. Angel pulls out a piece of metal as big as the back of her glove. "Not bad. Where are the brass knuckles?" Angel asked Rhaps clipping the metal on her glove. "Same bag." Rhaps replied. "I'll wait for you at the elevator." Rhaps said getting up from bed and walked out the door. Angel dumps the bag out and finds two brass knuckles and one metal piece that clips over the back of the glove. "Now where are the finger guards?" Angel asked her self. Angel slips one of the brass knuckles onto her hand with the glove. "Where's the clip?" Angel asks her self looking at the glove seeing a hook. "Oh well I feel stupid." Angel said rubbing the back of her head. Angel clipped the brass knuckles and glove together on the top and bottom of her hand. Angel puts the other glove on, and puts her other brass knuckles on hooking the glove and brass knuckles together. She picks up a small piece of metal that is flexible. She slips it on her right thumb and binds it. "Not bad. I've had better." Angel said putting the other four pieces on her other fingers and clipping them to her brass knuckles. She put the other five finger pieces on her other fingers, and walks out the door locking it. She walks up to Rhaps.

"Took you long enough." Rhaps said opening the door to the elevator and walking in angel following. Angel pushed the button for the fifth floor. The elevator lifted. The elevator stopped and they walk out it and to the room with the head master in it. Angel bows low to show the head master her respect. "Head master what is are mission?" Angel asked standing up straight. "Angel thanks for your respect. You shall go to a town and get back your necklace. Rhaps this will help you find the necklace." The head master said holding out a large diamond shaped white gem. Rhaps walks up to her and bows then takes the gem. "Put that gem in you gun blade and it will glow when your close to the necklace. You shall start by going to the car center. Rhaps you'll drive." The head master said holing out a card. "And what do I get to do?" Angel asked. "Angel you get the guns to protect the car." Angel runs up and grabs the card. "Big guns?" Angel asked "Yes, big guns." The head master replied. "WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR COME ON RHAPS!!!!" Angel yelled running down all the stairs and into the car center.

"Hmmm. Lets see." Angel looks at all the cars. "It needs speed lots of speed. Lots of ammo. Big guns." Angel looks at all the cars again. She looks at a black covetable with speed of 10,000 and has huge guns in it. Her eyes widen. "This is perfect!" Angel yelled jumping in the drivers side. Rhaps walks down to the car. "Angel you drive. I told the head master about the last time you got the ammo." Rhaps said having a flash back of Angel making five towns explode. "Hehe sorry" Angel said putting the card in the lock on the car. Angel starts the car and drives off as fast as the car could go. "AAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! ANGEL SLOW DOWN!" Rhaps yelled clinging onto her set. "HEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP!" Rhaps yelled waking every one up. Angel gets out of the garden and heads for a shadowy figure and skids to a stop the car turning five times before stopping.

"AAhhhhhhhhh!" Angel and Rhaps yelled almost hitting it. They both take deep breaths. "ANGEL YOU COULD HAVE KILLED US, AND THE PERSON IN FRONT OF US YOU IDIOT!!!!" Rhaps yelled in Angels ear while shaking her. "Are you all OK? You know Angel, you shouldn't drive or get ammo." A deep voice asked as a spiky haired person walked to them. "Zero!" Angel said excitedly jumping over the glass window and running down the hood of the car jumping off and landing in front of him. "Zero I missed ya." Angel said hugging him. "I missed you to." Zero said hugging back. "Where you off to?" Zero asked looking at Rhaps still clinging to her seat. "Where going to become SeeDs." Rhaps mumbled holding on to her seat still. "Umm. Angel is Rhaps. OK?" Zero said looking at her still. "Yeah I just kinda went to fast." Angels said pulling away from the hug rubbing the back of her head smiling. Zero walks to Rhaps trying to pull her away from the seat but can't. "Rhaps you want me to come with you and drive?" Zero asked smiling as he feels something holding onto his ankles. "The hell?" Zero looks down and sees Rhaps holding onto his legs. "Yes, yes please. Don't let me die!" Rhaps pleaded. "OK I'll drive. Angel you just love torturing Rhaps don't you?" Zero asked as he got in the drivers seat. "It's my job to torture Rhaps." Angel said running and jumping onto the hood of the car then jumping over the wind shield and landing in the back seat behind Zero and she set down. "Lets go to Mother town." Angel said exited and grabbing a gun In case a monster tries to attack them. "No!" Rhaps yelled grabbing the gun. "You don't get a gun you just set down Angel. If you don't remember the first time you had a gun you almost blew up the garden, and the second time you blew up the five towns." Zero said starting the car and drives at 50 mph. "Your going to slow. Zero go faster!" Angel complained. "I'm not you Angel. I don't try to kill my friends. Were almost to Mather town." Zero said coming to a stop in front of the entrance. Angel jumps out and runs in town to the weapon shop and looks at the guns.

"Hmm. Zero needs a big boom gun." Angel looks at a homing missile gun. "Ooo he'll like this." She looks at the price. "1,000 gill. Not expansive." She sees a homing bazooka for 100,000 gill. "To big." She sees a hand gun that shoots any ammo and has a lazier switch. "59,000 gill. Not bad." She grabs it and takes it to the counter. The guy at the counter looks at her and pushes the man he was helping aside. He has short brown chunky hair, a very muscular body, brown eyes, and a scratchy voice, he wore no shirt and cut off shorts, And you could see all 15 scares on his chest. "Well, well Angel you got the gill this time or dose Rhaps have to get your gloves for you." He asked "Shut up Jake I don't have the time. Now here's the gill." She gives him 19 coins. "I don't have gloves for 59,000 gill. Dose this mean you finally gave into my incredibly good looks and you wanna go out with me." He said smiling. Angel falls down laughing. "Me go out with you? That's hysterical." Angel said grabbing a leather case for the gun and walking to the door. "Chow Jake. Thanks for the free lather case." She said walking out of the door laughing. She walks back to the car still laughing.

"What's funny Angel?" Zero and Rhaps asked. "Jake thought I was going to date him." Angel said as she stopped laughing. She tossed the gun in it's case to Zero. "Here you'll need this." Angel said hoping in the back seat behind Zero. "Thanks Angel." Zero drove off. "So Jake still has that crush on you?" Rhaps asked. "Yep. I don't see why he'd think I'd wanna date him. He's ugly and I'm pretty." Angel replied. "That's harsh Angel." Rhaps said. "Well, it's the truth." Angel said laying down. "You know Angel soon he'll find a Lady better then you." Zero said trying to make her jealous. "What's that mean?" Angel asked angrily. "Nothing." He replied "Do me a favor and shut up. Any guy that denies my beauty is a fool." Angel said sarcastically. Rhaps and Zero laugh. "What beauty?" Rhaps asked. "Oh Angels got plenty of beauty. To bad she uses it to get free gloves." Zero said driving a little faster. "How did you know my secret?" Angel asked sarcastically. "Well, why else would you go to a town that only has men?" Zero asked. "Oh that. Me and Jake new each other since I was 4. He saved me, and 10 years later I saved him. Then he told me he loved me sense I was 9. And he still wont give up on me." Angel said. "So why don't you love him?" Zero asked. "Because I think of him as a big bro. not a boyfriend." Angel said yawning. "What's the next town?" Zero asked Rhaps. "Denver the only town with a train." Rhaps said looking around. "Denver it is." Zero said driving faster.

The car stops and he gets out. "We need gas." Zero said looking at Angel. "Yay!" Angel jumped out of the car. "Come on monsters I'm ready for you!" She said exited and popping her knuckles. "Come on Rhaps out of gas." Zero said pulling out his gun and filled it with fire ammo. Angel sees a bite bug and runs flipping over it grabbing it's spells then punching it to keep it from biting Zero. Angel takes a fighting stands. Rhaps jumps out of the car and cuts the bite bug in two. "Angel you need to train more." Rhaps said walking down the dirt rode with her gunblade slung over her shoulder. Angel grabs two big bags and puts as many guns in them as she can. "Come on Zero." Angel said grabbing his arm and pulling him. "Let go." Zero said pulling his arm away from her. "Here take this." She hands him a bag of guns. "OK." Zeros takes the bag and walks behind Rhaps. Angel looks at Zero and smiles. She looks behind her and sees a huge spider monster. "RHAPSODY ZERO HELP!!!!" Angel yelled. Rhaps and Zero look at Angel getting chased by the spider. "Come on Zero we got to save Angel." Rhaps ran and flipped over the spider and stabbed it with her gunblade sliding down cutting a hole in it's back. "Fire fire fire fire fire fire!" Angel stuck out her right hand and six blast of fire shot the spider. "Die die die die!" Angel kicked it as hard as she could and it flew into a forest and ten more spiders come out. "AAAAAA!" Angel ran and hid behind Zero. "Kill kill kill kill! Kill them all!!" Angel yelled in his ear. Zero pulled some ear plugs from his ears. "OK." Zero aimed his gun and flipped it to lazier. He shot the gun ten times hitting each spider in the head killing them. "Thank you thank you thank you." Angel said running to the spiders and kicking each one. Zero falls down laughing. "The great Angel Dinch is scared of spiders. "Zero rolled around holding his stomach. "I'm allergic!" Angel yelled and walked off.

Zero stopped laughing and got up running after Angel. Rhaps lifts her hand over her head. "Float." Rhaps floated 3 feet over the ground and flew after them.

Angel walked into a tall man with dark brown hair put in a cowboy pony tail, he has a dark tan and brown eyes, not to muscular, and black jeans, a brown cowboy hat, and he was shirtless. "Sorry sir." Angel bowed. The man chuckled. "It's OK. I'm John." He had a soothing voice. "I'm Angel." She looked down and thought. (Angel don't forget about Zero. Don't give up Zero for some guy you bump into on the rode.) "Nice meeting you John." She felt his hand under her chin pushing it up gently. "Your the prettiest lady I have been bumped into by all year." He looked into her eyes. "I'm the most beautiful lady in the world!" Angel bragged. "I can go with that." He put his right hand behind her head and his left hand on the top of her back pulling her in for a kiss. Zero stops about ten feet away shocked. Angel knees him in the stomach and then punches his face. He fell over. "Never try to kiss a lady with fighting technique." Angel popped her knuckles. "Jerk." Angel kicks him in the stomach. She walk on the rode stepping on his side listening to him yell in pain. Zero runs up to Angel stepping on John on the way.

"Yo, Angel hang on." Angel stops and looks at him then walks on. "Angel I'm sorry. I'll never laugh at ya again." Zero walked behind her. Angel stopped. "This is to slow. Zero get on my back." Angel looked at the sun half way in the sky. " Angel I don't think that would be much faster." Zero stated. "Get on!" Angel yelled. "OK." Zero placed his hands on her shoulders and jumped up putting his legs around her waist. Angel held his legs up with her hands and ran down the rode dirt lifting off the rode from her running so fast. She slowed down and came to a stop. They see someone floating by the entrance to Denver. "Rhaps is here already?" Zero asked Angel. "She flew. Cheater!" Angel ran into the town and into the wall of an INN. "That hurt." Angel fell unconscious and she landed on Zero. "Ow." Zero tried pushing her up but he was at a bad angle Rhaps walked to them. "Poor boy." Rhaps said looking at them along with the people walking by. Rhaps picks her up and puts Angel on her shoulder. "Come on Zero. We can put her in a room at the Inn." Rhaps said walking to the door. A boy walks up to Rhaps pulling on her shirt. Rhaps turns and looks at the boy and smiles. "Well, hello there. What do you need?" Rhaps asked the boy. "Strong lady um are you an alien?" The boy asked. Rhaps thinks. (That kid needs to watch his mouth. I'm glad Angel didn't hear that though she'd be laughing up a storm.) Zero fell down laughing hysterically.

"Kid you have heard of the great Shiva right?" Rhaps asked. "Oh yeah she's my second favorite GF." The boy said exited. "Well, Shiva is my mom." Rhaps said looking at Zero still laughing. "Oh. Cool." The boy walked off. "Zero shut up and come on!" Rhaps walked into the Inn and smelt food. Rhaps put Angel down on a chair. Zero walked in smelling the food running to a table. Angel wake up and ran to the same table. A lady wearing a black dress walked to there table. "Good day." She had a soft and sweet voice. She handed them the menu. "5 helpings of everything please." Angel said drooling over the food on the table next to them. "Umm OK. And you Sir?" The lady asked Zero. "Same." He pulled Angel back "Stop drooling over the food." Zero said grabbing a diner role from the other table and ate it in two bits."

The lady walks to there table putting two trays down full of food. Angel grabbed a tray and dumped all the food off there plates dumping the food into her mouth eating it. Zero did the same with his food. The lady came back with two more trays angel grabbing them both dumping the food onto one tray and dumping the food into her mouth chewing it. Rhaps put 1,000 Gill on the table. "Come on Angel. Come on Zero. We have a train to catch." Rhaps said stacking the trays. "Oh OK."

Angel and Zero stand up and walk out the door. Rhaps grabbed a Sandwich and took a bite putting it back down and running after them. They reach the train. "Rhaps the tickets?" Angel put her hand out waiting for her ticket. Rhaps searches her pockets. "Sorry Angel I left them in my pillow case." Rhaps said looking at the ticket booth. "Hmmm. Angel, Zero any gill?" Rhaps asked. "Sorry Rhaps spent it all on that gun." Angel said shrugging. "Sorry I'm just the spender not the holder." Zero said Angel looks at Rhaps. "OK but last time was your turn and you got us caught." Angel smiles and looks at Zero. "Oh Zerooo." "No." Zero said. Angel walks closer to him and puts her arms on his shoulders. "Please?" Angels voice soften up and she looks into his eyes. "Pretty please?" Angel asked. "Fine, But if I'm sent to jail again it will be all your fault." Zero said walking up to the ticket booth. "Rhaps you know what to do." Angel looked at Rhaps. "OK."

Rhaps walked to a near by bench and sat down putting gill a pouch down. Rhaps signals Zero by looking in her pouch for gill. Zero runs and grabs Rhaps's Pouch and runs off. "Help some guy stole my gill!" Rhaps said standing up. "Please someone stop the thief!" Rhaps yelled. Everyone ran to Rhaps. "What happened?" A man asked. "A guy ran by me and stole my pouch." Rhaps complained pointing out of town. "He went that way. He has long brown hair and black pants." Rhaps lied. "Is that all you know ma'am?" The man asked. "Yes," Rhaps sat down and put her face in her hands. "All 500,000,000 gill gone." Rhaps said pretending to cry. "Don't worry ma'am We'll get him for you." The man said and ran out the entrance and a few other followed. The people sat by Rhaps and talked to her telling her it was OK. Angel walked to the ticket booth and grabbed three tickets and walked to Rhaps. "Yo Rhaps what's wrong?" Angel asked. Rhaps looked up. "Someone took my gill." Rhaps said and Zero walked back holding the pouch. Rhaps looks at Zero. She got up and ran to him. "Where did you get it?" Rhaps asked garbing it and hugging it. "Well, some man was running off with it and I grabbed it out of his hands. Was this the robbery I heard about?" Zero asked. "Yes...Yes,it is sir. thank you." Rhaps bowed. Angel walks to Zero. One of the people yelled. "How do we know he didn't have a friend steel it so he could return it and try to get some money?" The person asked. Angel hugged him. "Zero's my boyfriend. He's also a SeeD." Angel let go and looked at everyone. "And SeeD don't steal. SeeD helps and protects. SeeD is the good. SeeD is the best." Angel told them and raped her arms around Zero's right arm. "Come on Zero we have a train to catch." Angel pulled on his arm and her walked to the train Angel holding his arm and Rhaps following them.

"Tickets." A man called. Angel walked in the train And let go of Zero's Arm. " Angel do you really think I'm your boyfriend?" Zero asked walking trough the door and into the train. Angel looks at him and smiles. "Yeah." Angel said walking to the window and looks out. "Well, then you just like all the other girls." Zero walks into the next compartment. Angel falls to one knee laughing. Zero walks back in the room. "What?" He looked at Angel. "Zero you know me better then that. You know were just friends." Angel stood back up and looked out the window. "I'm going to go take a nap." Angel walked into the next compartment and into there room. "Cushiony bed!" Angel ran and jumped high in the air landing on her back the in bed.

"Why would Zero think I loved him? The only reason I would love him would be his looks. I'm not that type of girl am I? Maybe I do love Zero.......If I do then would he hate me? Why do I have so many questions about me and Zero? We are just friends right?" Angel asked her self. "Oh so you do have feelings for Zero." Rhaps's voice came out of nowhere. Angel sat up. "Rhaps? Rhapsody where are you?" Angel asked angry. "Hehe you can't see me but I can see you." Rhaps said. "Rhaps this isn't like you. Your scarring me." Angel looked around the room. "Oh so that's your weakness." Rhaps appeared floating over Angel's bed. Angel looks up. "Rhaps I'm going to kill you!" Angel yelled jumping out of bed. "Rhapsody Leonhart you shall pay." Angel said jumping up on Rhaps. Rhaps teleports by the door. "I learned a new trick. Don't worry Angel I wont tell Zero you love him." Rhaps said opening the door. "I don't love him!" Angel yelled throwing a pillow at her. Rhaps walks out and shuts the door. Angel lays in bed thinking. (Maybe I do love Zero? No that's nonsense. Where just good friends.) Angel closed her eyes. Zero walks in. "Good she's asleep." Zero walks to her and puts his hands over her head. "Why am I the only one without a cool power? Oh and Zero I'm awake." Angel opened her right eye and looked at him. "Why do you like looking at my memories? You know lots of stuff happened along time ago that I forgot about and wanted to forget about. Then you just have to look through my memories bank and make me remember." Angel said opening her other eye and sitting up. "Reflect." Angel said and a dome forms around her. She lays back down and closes her eyes and falls asleep.

"She looks so peaceful when asleep, but when wake she is such a pain." Zero walks to his bed and yawns. "Fluffy pillow." He lays down and falls asleep hugging the fluffy pillow. Rhaps walks in. "Everyone is asleep. I may as well join." Rhaps cast sleep spell on her self and she falls asleep on the couch.
