"You know how to use the Airget-lahm?!" Virginia shouted with a mixture of
surprise and relief. "How?"
Jet shrugged, "I don't know, maybe some memories."
Virginia sighed but then remembered, "The guardians!"
"The what?"
"I'm so screwed!" Virginia groaned, "You know how to use your gun, but you don't have a clue on how to use magic or summon the guardians! Do you?" Virginia stopped to look at Jet.
"You mean these?" Jet asked holding up the mediums.
"Yes, do you know what they are and what they can do?" Virginia asked hopefully.
"Ummm.... No." Jet stated sheepishly.
Virginia nearly fell over, "You don't," she sighed and mentally kicked herself for being so optimistic; "Well you know how to use your ARM so I guess that ought to do." And with that they headed towards Lombardia's exit.
"I was wonderin' what was takin' so long for you two to get out here. Were you two having some fun?" Gallows asked with a grin on his face. Virginia made a new meaning for the word deep as her face turned an impossible red, as Jet was able to hide his by instinct.
"G-Gallows, you pervert!" Virginia yelled.
"Oh, then do you deny it?" Gallows asked with another one of his grins.
"Nothing happened." Everyone was surprised to see that Jet was the one who answered.
Virginia instantly agreed with Jet and the conversation was ended.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The four comrades made their way through the rocky terrain and found their way to the Angel's Tomb. The place itself was beautiful, the building was a deep golden color, with silver snaking its way around the temple, it sparkled like a gem against the desolate area.
Clive was the first to snap back, "Well, are we going to stand here or go in?"
All of them snapped back as soon as the words came from his mouth. Virginia flushed, "We should get going."
They made their way up the tomb steps and through the door. The inside of the tomb was more impressive than the outside, it was the same deep gold, but there were gems such as rubies and sapphires in the wall making the room glitter.
Their awe didn't last long as they looked around the room to see that at the end of the room were four doors. Virginia frowned.
"What are we supposed to do now?" She asked no one in particular.
"We could spilt-up," Gallows suggested.
"Yes, we could, but remember what Clive said about the monsters."
"But we have no choice." Everyone looked over at Jet who was staring intently at the glyphs near the doors. "It says 'the ones who enter must choose their own paths, if thou is chooses correctly, then thou shall have no trouble passing.'" Jet finished quoting and looked at them. They looked surprised, "What?" Jet asked uncomfortably.
Clive came over to look at the glyphs and then at Jet, "Jet, you can read these?" Clive asked as calmly as he could.
Jet blinked, "Yes." He answered simply.
Virginia came over and looked at the glyphs herself; to her they looked like another language. She looked back at Clive, who seemed to be fascinated by the fact Jet could read them, and in the look in his eye Virginia knew that if they didn't hurry, than they wouldn't be able to go anywhere for quiet a while.
"Okay you heard him, let's pick our paths." Virginia stated.
Jet got up and shot her an obliged glance before looking at the doors again. His eyes narrowed as he felt a sudden evil presence, *this door.* he thought as he gently laid his hand over the entrance, suddenly overwhelming pain went through him. Jet let out a small cry of agony as he fell to his knees. Everyone made their way to him with panic. Virginia quickly pulled him away from the door, and listened to his abnormal breathing.
Virginia looked at Jet and felt a knot in her stomach as scenes from her nightmare played over and over in her head.
"We shouldn't split up." Virginia whispered.
Clive and Gallows stared at her before taking another glance at Jet, "Virginia," she flinched at the tone in Clive's voice, "do you know if this has happened before?"
"I don't know if it's happened before or not, but it might explain why he was always so exhausted."
Gallows shook his head sheepishly, "And here I thought he was just lazy."
Jet sighed and Virginia watched as he gently pushed himself to his feet, "Jet, are you okay?" she asked tensely.
Jet looked at her and nodded as he went to look at the three other doors, *the presence here is nice and protecting.* Jet thought as he touched the last door. "This door." He didn't think he had said it aloud.
"What about that door?" Clive inquired.
Jet looked surprised for a moment before giving a reply. "Nothing."
Virginia looked at him, *he seems more withdrawn than he was on Lombardia. Is he remembering himself.* At this thought Virginia was both relieved and disappointed, she liked Jet, but this Jet seemed much more innocent and happy than the other and that made her happy, although she wasn't sure why.
"Well, we need to pick our doors." Gallows said, stating the obvious.
"The door on the far left is the least safe; it has something destructive behind it. The others should be okay." Jet stated looking at the doors; Virginia looked at him questioningly, but had no time to ask before the young man went over and entered the door to the far right.
Virginia sighed and took the door to the right of the one Jet had entered. Gallows and Clive looked at the two doors that were left. "I'll take the door to the far left." Clive stated as he made his way to the door. Gallows blinked for a moment before taking the only door left.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
JET
Jet walked through the halls with a look of fascination and curiousness that could only be found in the face of a child; so far the trip had been good, no monsters, and no unneeded surprises. The feeling that he had felt before coming in here was stronger that before and gave him the feeling of being secure and happy. He looked to see that the corridor was coming to an end. He found his way into the main hall, and everything turned to white.
VIRGINIA
Virginia heaved as she destroyed the monster that had been in the passage, *they weren't kidding when they said these things were tough.* she thought angrily. *I hope Clive and Gallows, and Jet are okay.* She hoped for their safety as she started down the corridor again.
A while later.
Virginia was disheveled and panting, she had run into more monsters on the way and they weren't friendly, *they never are.* she thought bitterly. She looked to see a light near where she stood, *an exit* she sighed, thoroughly relieved as she made her way there.
GALLOWS
Gallows sighed, this had to be the one trip he would never like to remember if he could help it, he had run into hoards of monsters and everyone was stronger than the last, *phhh, 'the other passages should be okay' my ass!* he thought as he looked for any more opponents, none. He let out a relieved breath as he made his way down the hall. He looked to see a bright light, *salvation.* he thought happily as he thanked any guardians who were listening.
CLIVE
Clive pulled out another heal berry, *how many have I used?* he asked himself, *ten, twenty. I guess I lost count.* When Jet had said that this corridor had destructive forces in it he wasn't kidding. The monsters had been coming nonstop and they weren't pushovers. The sniper looked to see that he was near the end of this nightmare and thanked the people who built this tomb for making the hall short.
NORMAL
Virginia eyes adjusted to the light and she looked to see that Clive although tired seemed fine, and Gallows was singing a happy song, she looked over to Jet's door to see nothing then looked to the center of the room. There in the heart of the room was a beautiful woman, her eyes a deep amethyst, her long hair was a dark cerulean, angelic wings visible behind her, and floating within the woman's outstretched hands was....... "Jet!" Virginia called his name in panic as she ran toward them. Clive and Gallows followed, they neared the center of room. The woman just calmly stayed where she was, a gentle smile on her face as Virginia came in front of her. She looked at Virginia with care before placing an unconscious Jet in her arms. Virginia looked at the woman questioningly, *she's not a demon." The girl concluded, but before she could ponder it any more the woman spoke.
"My name is Gaea; I am the guardian and mother of this planet. I will accompany you and your comrades as you search for the cure to this desolate homeland." And with this statement the guardian turned into a medium and floated over to Jet.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* (Evil Chrono) Sorry for not updating, my muse died, but I hope this makes up for it.
Jet shrugged, "I don't know, maybe some memories."
