* Chapter 30! Yay! Thanks to Hell Stalker I have finally gotten some ideas
for Eve's limit breaks. She's the only one who I had problems with, but
anyways, ENJOY! *
1 Chapter 30
1.1 Jakan
It had been already her second week in Timber, when the group got the news about Balamb. The Esther soldiers were running around like maniacs spreading the news to every citizen, saying to prepare for the war.
"I can't believe it's gone..." Gwena murmured. Blade and Van tried to comfort Gwena, but they too were infected with melancholy. Eve was surprised only, but she had learned all that she could from that home, it was useless to her even if Garden was still standing there. She had reached her goal of becoming a SeeD, and that's all that mattered to her. It was strange to hear herself thinking so coldly, but that was all that was left of her. And it's the beast's entire fault! She screamed mentally. Those lost childhood memories…
Blade sat down to cleaning his Hyperion. His pale blonde hair fell into his eyes every once in a while and he always brushed it back. For some reason, she liked the young man. She didn't know why, but she loved the way he always fought his monsters in battle; he never showed any fear…just like her.
"Hey Van? Do you have an extra two hundred gil?" Gwena asked after she had gotten over the news a bit.
"Yeah. What for?" Vanyel asked. He was rummaging through the fridge when he took out a drink called Pepsi.
"Well there's a new whip, called the Aurora. It costs three hundred but I only have a hundred gil tops. I would have more if Ms. Leader over there could pay us." Gwena muttered.
"I wish I could but I have none on me right now." Van replied. Eve was about to retort but she kept her mouth shut. I?! I'm supposed to pay them? I didn't ask to hold the gil all to myself! Eve grumbled and stood up. She walked up to Gwena who was surprised and threw the money at her.
"Next time don't assume anything." Eve turned her back, "Oh and another thing, I didn't ask to be leader. If I could I could just leave you all here and fulfill my dreams." Eve finished her speech and left the hotel room. Gwena glanced at Van and Blade who looked at her.
"What's with you, Gwen?" Blade said, "Why do you hate her so much? C'mon we were getting closer to opening her up to us and now you show your bitchy side?"
"I didn't mean it, honest… I just don't like her." Gwena replied. Blade groaned and walked out of the room. He had to find Dava, before she left them for good.
Eve walked down the streets and watched the people walking back to their homes. The news of the war had frightened many of them. She remembered her fight with the chimera, and noticed how weak she still was and unready for her battle. Only on level 14 and she needed to fight more to gain AP until she was at a hundred.
The sun was setting and she didn't notice that she was already outside of the city. She had left her item pack at the hotel room, but her GF was still junctioned to her. She walked all the way to the coast and looked over the ocean toward where the Balamb continent was located. Even though she couldn't see it, she knew that there was nothing left of it. She sighed and a thought came to her. Galbadia Garden was still in business! Maybe they had something to teach her…
Eve heard a car nearby and looked in its direction. It was only the Galbadian Troopers. She turned back toward the ocean and sat down in the sands. She didn't notice that the soldiers in the car had noticed her. Alone. It was only in a matter of seconds when they approached her quietly.
"Hello there." One said. Eve jumped up and glanced at the four soldiers standing there. The fifth was still in the car looking for something.
"What do you want?" Eve asked.
"Oh nothing, Miss. We just saw you here alone and were wondering what you were doing. There is a war going on, if you didn't know." The leader explained.
"I'm quite capable of taking care of myself. I'm a Balamb SeeD and the best that it has, so you can just go on." Eve said easily.
"Did...you say Balamb?" he asked. Eve heard the other soldiers whispering and she caught them speak one word.
"She's an enemy…that damn Balamb…we got to clean up the rest of these low life Balambian's." The other nodded and whispered something back but Eve didn't catch it.
"I'm sorry Miss, but you are under arrest and to be executed." The man announced, "but not before we have some fun with you." Eve grabbed her blade and placed it before her. The others were already prepared to fight her and then some stupid moron cast a blind on her. She cursed and was hit in the back. She fell to the sands and tried to get back up but another hit her down. She instinctively reached for her item pack, but it wasn't there. She tried to get back up again and succeeded. Even though she was blind she swung her Silverraine like crazy, hurting one of the soldiers in the process.
"Enough of this." The man said and ripped Silverraine from her grip. She tried to reach for the Lion Heart, but it wasn't there. She could have sworn that she had it strapped there this morning. Another flash passed through her mind and it showed her putting the wrapped up blade underneath her mattress at the hotel room.
"Fuck." Eve muttered.
"Fuck is right lady." One of them answered and grabbed her by the hair. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain. She tried to focus on some of her sorceress abilities, but the pain was distracting. If only she let Edea help her…
Seconds later she got hit across the face and she heard someone call her a scar face. Eve's mouth tasted her own bitter blood and she spat in the direction she heard the guy's voice. Eve felt helpless for the first time and only one word crossed her mind…Jakan.
"JAKAN!" she screamed until her throat burned with agony. There was a piercing, but vague answer and Eve's face was smiling. One of the soldiers that held her let go of her and she fell again back to the ground. Her arm hit something cold and she grabbed for the steel. It was Silverraine, but in two pieces!
"What in Hades' name was that?!" one of the soldiers screeched as they heard a faraway cry of a beast.
* * *
The beast came flying faster to the foreign shores. It remembered the debt he owed the sorceress and he came without a second thought. He finally reached the shore and there laid the woman torn and bleeding; her weapon broken at her side and her thoughts were spaced out. She could even hardly concentrate to call upon her powers. The enemies yelled in horror as he flew over the soldier's heads.
His talons grabbed two of the men that were frozen. With his jaws he ripped out both of their throats. Two down three to go. He used a water attack and out came a spout of ferocious water at one of the men below him. Well two more to go…
After killing off the rest he walked over to the still sorceress.
: My debt is repaid sorceress. :
When the woman didn't move, he nudged her with his beak, but got no response. He cast his only elixir upon the girl and at last he heard her body stir.
: I see that you are also in no condition to make it back to wherever you have come from. You couldn't even focus on your powers…but wait I do know a woman who can help you. : Jakan said mentally. He knew to who he could bring this poor creature too…Korona.
* I know you guys are going to kill me!!!! *runs for cover* Anyway, review! Makes me feel special! LOL! ^-^*
