Chapter 3: Odin
Dariel stepped into the shower and watched the crimson run from his body as the mild water ran over his body. He stood a mere inch from the shower head and enjoyed letting the warm water run through his hair as he ran a hand through it. He pulled away his hand and stared at the grimy red substance that clung to it, it seeped between his fingers as he clenched his hand tightly. 'I had done it.' he tilt his head forward closer to the shower head and let the water fall down his face. 'I made it rain blood.' he stood there letting the water envelope him.
Dariel stood in the grey hallway; he looked to the wall and saw the big red bold letters display B-4. Taking a step forward he turned to avoid knocking over the potted fern tree, the bright green of the fern mismatched to that of the wall. He noticed that he had been walking in between the thick bright yellow line running down the center of the floor. He carried on walking and looked through the glass panelling on the right side and noticed that Squall was waiting for him by a car. As he stepped into the garage he immediately noticed the difference in lighting, a few overhead mounted lights was all that illuminated the expansive room. He walked towards Squall and noticed how echoed his footsteps were, Squall indicated to the car and Dariel took his seat inside the sleek dark red automobile.
A short distance south from where the fire cavern is situated Squall pulled the car to a halt and both the men stepped out on to the sparse browning plains. Dariel stood before the shear mass of the Ragnarok and couldn't help but be impressed at the velocity of the monstrosity before him. The gigantic dark red ship stretched across the landscape and appeared to be alive to him. The front ended with gigantic evil metallic face, its sleek features made it appear more and more living than just machine. At the base of the boarding ramp stood Quistis, arms folded she smiled at Dariel but couldn't hide the worried expression on her face.
Squall approached her and Dariel couldn't hear what was said but was sure that he was reassuring her off some kind. Quistis nodded and approached Dariel, her mouth was set into a tight line and her eyes seemed to be searching around as if not to look directly at him. She passed him and opened the car door, leaning on it she simply said two words to him. "Good luck." she pulled the door shut and reversed the car before heading north back to the garden. Dariel walked to the boarding ramp and stopped to take in the surroundings, he watched as the sun begun to set and disappear behind the beautiful azure ocean. The shadow started to cast over the roughness of the sand and spread over the rest off the coast and slowly towards the ship. "You ready?" Dariel turned at the sound of Squall's voice "Yeah." they both headed back into the ship and Squall hit the controls for the ramp to rise as they passed its platform. Dariel looked back at the sunset through the thin crack off the closing ramp, once out of sight Dariel turned away. He couldn't shake the feeling that it was his last.
The gigantic ship set down on the Centra continent a good five minute walk from the decayed ruins. Both men walked down the boarding side by side each making no effort to talk. The long journey had been uneventful with both men not bothering to break the silence while they sat on-board the Ragnarok. Until now. "Are you ready for this?" Dariel turned towards the prone Squall and nodded. I'm ready." With an acknowledging nod they both approached the foliage that covered the winding rubble covered path towards the abandoned rumble.
Squall removed Lionheart and begun hacking at the undergrowth, each stroke of the blade revealing more and more of their destination that lied behind. With every stroke the winding plant tendrils seemed to return to block their advance, Dariel placed a hand on Squall's shoulder stopping his attack. Dariel raised one hand palm towards the tendrils and begun chanting under his breath, opening his eyes the plant life erupted into flames and shrivelled back from where it came. Once the high pitched shrieking had finished the two men made their way along the winding path towards the ruins. They appeared in a courtyard of sorts surrounded by several damaged pillars; Dariel approached one and ran his fingers over the decorative pattern that ended as he reached the damaged segment. He turned to Squall "What happened here?" Squall shrugged "Your guess is as good as mine, it was like this the last time I came." Dariel shifted some of the rubble with his foot. 'Strange.' Squall looked up into the shadows as if expecting something. "What is it?" he held one finger to his lips and turned his head in order to hear well. From within the shadows a shuffling could be heard, both men held onto their weapons tighter and awaited the threat.
The first of the green heads appeared from the shadows and was joined by several others as one by one Tonberrys appeared from the dark opening. Each held a large kitchen knife and from the gleam of the weapon they where very sharp. The petite dangerous creatures made their approach very slowly towards the two men; Dariel looked to Squall and saw his commander holding his blade towards his enemies. Dariel had read about these creatures and remembered that these enemies despite their size were not to be underestimated. Squall ran at the lead and brought Lionheart around in an downwards arc and freed the firsts head from its shoulders, it went down in a pool of crimson. Swiping his blade downwards the blood splattered the ground and he retuned to his defensive posture. Dariel watched as the next in line dangled its lantern and gently swayed it, the flickering flame seemed to release an energy that covered the Tonberry and made it charge at Dariel. Dariel side stepped behind the Tonberry and brought his katana down across its back, the creature fell and its knife clattered to the side. The others raised their lanterns and begun swaying them, they charged.
Dariel knocked aside the trusted chef's knife with his katana and brought it down on top of the falling Tonberry's wrist. Separating its hand from its wrist he kicked out pushing the Tonberry onto its rear as crimson escaped from the vital wound. He swung the blade around in his hand and brought it down into its stomach, a gasp escaped from its thin darkened green lips. Another green creature burst into flames and fell to the floor shrieking as Squall released a fire spell at the attacking Tonberry. Stepping over the blackened, smoking creature Squall brought the Lionheart around and cut an inch through another's arm. The faster paced creature thrust out and barely missed Squall's stomach but succeeded in tearing through his bright white shirt. Squall reached out and grasped the creatures damaged arm and snapped it. Still holding the useless broken arm he turned it around and pushed killing the creature with its own weapon. Warm crimson ran down his arm as he let go of the creature and watched it fall limp to the floor. Wiping the blood of on his trousers he noticed more of the creatures appearing from the shadows. 'There's no end to them.'
Dariel raked his katana right and left as the hoard continued their assault, the slow moving creatures fell at his feet as he continued. He stabbed down at the floor and stopped the creature's spasm as it reached out to grab hold off his trouser leg. The material fell from its grasp as it let out a dry hiss and stopped, he brought the blade up and outwards impaling another and brought it sharply back impaling another from behind. Thick warm blood oozed down his hand as he yanked the blade out and swept back his leg in a round house kick knocking the dying Tonberry into a group of approaching green creatures. He swiped out cleaving the smooth oval head from another's shoulders and brought the blade down by his side as it fell to the floor and rolled away.
Squall brought his blade upwards cutting an inch into the prone Tonberry's stomach and down onto its head splitting the skull. The creature fell to the floor and a thick purple grey fluid escaped from within the opened bone. Placing his foot under the creatures body he flicked up throwing it into an approaching pack. The group fell under the weight of the discarded body and erupted into a great ball of fire as Squall released another spell. He brought his blade diagonally down into another's neck and withdrew it as the creature fell, backing off he stopped and turned with his blade held high as he made contact with something He stopped as he saw Dariel, sword raised looking at him. "Let's finish this!" Dariel nodded and the two men stood back to back as the creature's continued their approach.
The two men continued slashing at the approaching green creatures and could only briefly stare in amazement as the bodies piled up at their feet. Crimson flowed like a river around their feet yet the hoard continued their slow approach not deterred by the massacre that they were witnessing. Dariel knocked down a thrusting knife and kicked out at his assailant, a sharp pain made its way up the side of his stomach as he grimaced in pain at the unknown threat that pierced his flesh with its weapon. Gritting his teeth he punched out connecting with the green flesh off the Tonberry's face, bone shattered from the enhanced strength of the junctioned GF. Bringing his blade up and around he raked it over its face, the creature held its face trying to stop the flesh parting. Dariel watched in disgust as he saw the muscle that was revealed from the wound, grabbing the rear of its head he brought it forward onto his blade and watched as it disappeared and reappeared from the rear of its head.
Squall slashed out and severed another's head before bringing Lionheart back to block a approaching blade. He was succeeded in hearing a hiss as the creature's hand fell to the floor, it clutched the wound and was kicked back by Squall onto another Tonberry's blade. Squall reached out for Dariel and pulled the wounded man back towards the safety of a stone wall. "This ends now!" Squall held out his hand and begun chanting under his breath, his eyes opened and he whispered a single word. "Diablos." The two men faded away and a huge black and dark red demon appeared a long pointed tail hanged behind it as his huge bat like wings opened up he took to the sky. The sky turned black as he reached into to it and a dark sphere expanded from his finger tips, the sphere grew larger and larger as his arm remained upright. Pure dark energy radiated from the round mass as it brought its arm down releasing it. The huge energy ball impacted with the ground enshrouding the hoard of Tonberry's, the gravitational pull of the ball sucked the creatures into it. The pull of the gravity ball pulled at the limbs of the creatures, those that weren't lucky enough to be pulled into the black mass were left twisted corpses on the floor. Diablo flew to the sky spun in an arc and disappeared, the men returned to see the mess before them. "We did it."
Squall placed a hand on the side of Dariel and felt his blood seep from the deep wound through his fingers. He begun chanting and pulled his hand away as the wound magically healed. "Thanks." Squall nodded and walked over to the twisted corpses at his feet. "What a mess." Dariel walked over and prodded a twisted corpse with his foot. "Shall we go?" Squall turned and looked at him "You still want to do this?" Dariel nodded "I have to do this." The two men approached the huge double doors that kept Odin hidden, Dariel tried the handles. Locked. "What now?" Squall smiled "When I came here before we needed to place an eye in a statue to gain the code for the door. Dariel noticed the number pad to the side of the door. "I thought Odin died in the fight against Seifer?" Squall nodded "It's true that Odin was defeated, wherever he died or not is another matter." "We better get this code and find out." The two turned and started to walk away when a loud creaking behind them startled them. The doors started to open and a loud voice echoed inside their heads. "ENTER" Squall turned to Dariel "I think we just did."
The two entered the dark dusty room and stared at the huge throne at the top of some stone steps. Sat in the seat was Odin; Squall noticed he hadn't changed since he had last seen him. The giant man stepped down from his throne and pointed his large curved blade at Dariel. "YOU" Dariel stepped forward and un-sheathed his katana and held it down by his side. Squall walked to the side wall "I'm here if you need me." Dariel nodded and walked towards the huge warrior. Let's do this." "YOU ARE A THREAT TO THIS WORLD" Dariel stopped stunned "Wha . . ." he brought his katana just in time to block the downwards slash of the curved blade. Vibrations shot up his arm making it numb. "YOU WILL DIE" Dariel brought his blade up again to block another slash, he slashed out and took the tip of the giant's left horn. The horn tip rolled to one side and the giant looked into his eyes with his own dark red pair. "YOU HAVE THE MEANS TO DETROY US ALL, YOU MUST BE STOPPED" Dariel backed off "What do you mean?" He dodged out the way as the curved blade cut through the air slicing into his arm, he felt the warm blood flow down his arm as it clung to the material of his shirt. He tightened his grip on the handle and turned to face Odin. Odin watched as an inner fire lit up the human's eyes.
Dariel charged at the large man and continued hacking, each slash was met with a loud metallic clang as Odin brought up his blade to block. Dariel swung around and kicked at the giant, at the same time he released a fire spell. The impact through the monstrous man onto his rear, Dariel turned and beckoned Odin to advance. Odin pounded the floor and charged, Dariel got ready with another fire spell. Behind him something ran by, he turned and released the spell it made contact with the stone wall as a large six legged horse ran by. He turned as Odin made contact with him and charged him into the wall, the wall cracked and splintered as he impacted with it. He fell to the floor as Odin stood over him sword held high. "IT ENDS" Squall ran foreword. "Dariel!" Odin brought the blade down.
Dariel thrust out his katana and watched as it pierced straight through one side of Odin's leg and through the other. Odin grabbed at the blade and pulled it through just as Dariel placed both feet onto his stomach and kicked pushing him away. Dariel got to his feet and holstered his katana, holding the sheathed weapon out horizontally in front of him he looked to Odin. Odin saw the fire in the human's eyes once again, grabbing his curved blade he ran at Dariel. Odin brought his weapon down as he pulled the blade out horizontally and sliced through the curved blade and cut several inches into Odin's chest. Odin grabbed at his chest as Dariel spun the blade in his hand and brought it through the air severing both horns further. Odin fell onto his rear and stared at the youth before him. "NOW I SEE" Dariel stopped inches from the fallen giant. "See what?" Odin laughed a deep booming laugh. "NOT ONLY ARE YOU THE MEANS OF OUR DESTRUCTION, BUT YOU CAN ALSO SAVE US ALL" "What do you mean?" Odin stood to his feet and nodded at Dariel "VERY WELL, I WILL JOIN YOU" Odin disappeared into thin air and Dariel felt his prescience enter his mind. Squall walked towards him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "You passed, now what was he talking about?" Dariel started towards the doors "We'll talk on the way back."
I'm sorry that this took so long to post but I kind of been busy. You know work and other things. Also went on holiday, might be a few spelling mistakes, I didn't have much time to check. But if you can put up with it, enjoy:
Twin-Lance: Thanks! I don't think anyone has taken as much interest in this fic as you, except maybe my friend Malciah. Hope I deliver the goods and you enjoy this next one just as much.
Malciah: Who are you kidding, Odin is a pussy cat. Nah, not really but like Twin-Lance says Dariel can take him! Hope you enjoy. I advise you read her work. Hey Twin-Lance? More advertisement, I expect the check in the mail.
Authors note: This is turning out better than I expected, this should my best chapter so far. Featuring my favourite GF, Odin.
