STORY: (Chapter 4)
(Authors apology: On chapter 3 the line spoken by Kain ''Sometimes mortals require so much patience I truly wonder if they are worth it'' was taken from Sereda's upcoming story. I didn't mean this to happen, sorry Sereda. Your story's great and I can't wait till it's up! Please know that I do not wish to steal ANY ones work and I respect every author on the site. Everyone who has reviewed is a great support. Thanks.)
*Sereda disarms nuclear missiles, phew!*
*I'm having lots of fun with this story!! Expect anything!!*
Cloud, Auron and Squall were now setting off up the snowy mountain. The heavy snowflakes fell all around and presently the group noticed that it was ash that fell before them. But this did little to deter them and with a will of steel they continued onwards.
After travelling upwards for a while the group came to a castle. This was Dumah's retreat and was well guarded.
Guard 1: Halt! State your purpose in being here!
Auron: We seek the Lizard-man.
Guard 1: What rubbish! If you have no purpose you will make excellent slaves for our master.
Guard 2: *Whispers* Wait! If they are like that other human Dumah captured it would be unwise to provoke them!
Cloud: Other human! What humans! What weapons did they have? Maybe Barret got sucked into this world too. (I hope not!)
Guard 1: *whispers to guard 2* call lord Dumah, this situation is not one we can handle.
The guard runs off into the depths of the castle and the other leads the three into the main hall. They are offered seats and sit down on a wide sofa. Presently Lord Dumah arrives. He has several armed vampire officers at his back but is unarmed himself. Between the officers is a girl wearing a blue cloak, shorts and top. She cries out in surprise when she sees the group.
Rinoa: Squall!!!
Squall: *looks horrified and mutters darkly* Crap! Anything but her! God, and I thought I'd finally get a break!
Cloud: Hey! Is that the girlfriend who looks like a monster?
Squall: *still muttering* Yeah, the one who won't stop liking me.
Rinoa runs up to Squall and is smiling happily. She seems highly emotional but Squall looks peeved and annoyed. (You may remember the Ragnarok scene on FF8)
Rinoa: Squall, I've missed you so much. *arms outstretched in expectation*
Squall: Yeah whatever.
Rinoa: Give me a hug!
Squall: *Now looks incredibly embarrassed* What?
Rinoa: Give me a real tight hug! I want to know that I'm really alive!
Squall: Yeah whatever, you won't be alive for long if you don't stay alert. We're in a dangerous land. *awkward expression appears* Uhh, keep close.ish.
Rinoa: Ok! *whispers* I love him!
Squall looks away and mutters something. Lord Dumah is patiently waiting but clears his throat to signify that he wishes attention.
*At this point Cloud and Auron are helpless with laughter at Squall and are slapping each other high fives.*
The group stop and turn to face Dumah.
Cloud: *still giggling* Well? We seek the Lizard with the curvy sword. We need to get back to our home.
Dumah: And why would I give you such information? Already I have learned of how you put Turel to death. Vampires do not forgive so easily.
Cloud: If you don't tell us, we kick your butt! Ok?
Dumah: Ah, It is true. I would fight any other mortal but you, for I have no chance of victory. Tell me how you came to this land, perhaps then I can be of assistance.
Auron: We came by magic of another Lizard-man.
Cloud: Only this one really did look like a lizard, he had scales and was real wrinkly and old and he had a weird staff.
Dumah: Ah, it seems you have met Moebius. Somehow he has called you to this land, perhaps as weapons to fight our kind. He operates by means of time streaming devices, they can teleport you to different times.
Auron: And there is one of these nearby?
Dumah: No, not near. But I can teleport you. Just tell me when.
Auron, Squall and Cloud draw together and discuss the situation. It seems that this Dumah is fearful of their power but it is still unknown whether he can be trusted. In the end they decide to continue, knowing well that there is little else they can do. Auron nods to Dumah.
Auron: So be it.
Rinoa: Great! Where are we going!
Squall: *Puts hand to head in annoyance.* It's uhh. too dangerous Rinoa, uhh. the enemies are real tough, you'd better stay here.
Rinoa: *Smiles* I know my knight will protect me right! Right?
Squall: No.
Rinoa: *sulks* You're a meanie! Meanie!
Squall: *thinking ''what's her problem?''* Jeez, whatever! come then. You'll probably die and if you do its not my fault!
Rinoa: *whispers* He's so touchy, how sweet! I love him!!!
*Cloud and Auron doubled up with laughter*
At last the four are ready and walk over to Dumah. He stands before them and with a quick sweep of his arm teleports them to the nearest time streaming chamber. But as they fade the group do not notice the devious grin on the vampires face. As soon as they have gone, five other forms teleport around Dumah. It is Kain! His sons (minus Turel) surround him. Kain also has a devious grin.
Kain: *Devious grin on his face* Excellent Dumah. You have served me well.
Raziel: Good work Dumah. *Turns to Kain* Will we continue as planned?
Kain: But of course! Dumah, you must transport them. Send them as far into the future as you can. Shortly after we will follow.
Melchiah: But master, I still do not understand why we must follow? They will be stranded! We should leave them be. Revenge will only bring us our deaths.
Kain: No, they possess incredible magic, I can only guess that they have somehow obtained very powerful and secret dark gifts. We must assassinate them, use stealth and cunning, and drink their blood to gain their powers. Raziel: Master, may I suggest we go one by one. If we fail a group ambush there is no chance of our survival, but if one goes alone and fails there will be another to take his place.
Kain: And if you all fail?
Raziel: You will at least remain, our leader, and our kind shall not fall.
Kain: So be it! Dumah will transport them and we shall follow! Raziel shall be our first assassin.
Kain's sons all nod, then Dumah uses teleport to meet Cloud, Auron, Squall and Rinoa at the time streaming device. The group receive him and step onto the device. Little do they know what truly awaits!
*Damn! Vampires are really stealthy, can float, hide in shadows and are fast! Will the group be able to survive Kain's ambush? Will they ever get home? Will Squall ever get rid of Rinoa? More coming up soon!
