Chapter 41
12 Armies of Nemesis
The engines whirred to life after Kato backed out of the small vent. The lion coughed filth out of her mouth and began to lick herself clean. "Not bad for a cat." Eve praised. She slammed the latch down and walked through the doors. The vessel was a late model of a Ragnorak, but for water purposes only. Its metallic body was silver blue, designed especially for camouflage on the seawaters. 'Heck, it was better then nothing.' Eve mused. * * *
Azure eyes scanned the groups of men, women, and children prepared to regain lost dreams. Squall knew that these people were willing to die for their homes and there was nothing he could do to protect them from the upcoming horror. Tomorrow they would set out for FH, to defeat twelve armies, he hoped. His army consisted of SeeD's from Balamb and Trabia, also accompanied by average inexperienced young men, women, and the old. He shook his head in defeat and sighed, 'Rinoa I'm coming for you. I be there, I promise.' * * *
Blade awoke to the sounds of battle. He rushed out to see the street covered with monsters. His comrades were already down there protecting the civilians. His eyes caught Mrs. Leonhart at the end of the street, her palms gathered with blue energy, freezing her opponents with ice spells. She reminded him a bit of Dava, with her hair and fierce expressions during battle. He grabbed his blade and ran to join his friends. Rinoa had just killed a chimera, when a wave of power hit her. Another sorceress was nearby, could it be the girl she found out at Garden? Who knew? Maybe she was coming with Balamb reinforcements! Rinoa rushed up the stairs to look up above the sea to find nothing but creatures slithering in the sea, waiting to gain entrance. Her eyes soon caught a pair of serpents trying to climb the slick metal walls. She summoned a flare, scorching them into bits and pieces. Satisfied she rushed back to help secure the infested area, still hoping to catch the supernatural waves. * * *
Eve slowed the Ragnorak down, when she saw the horizon swarming with beasts and unrecognizable monsters. Kato gasped as her keen eyes scanned the armies and she murmured something incoherent. "The Twelve Armies of Nemesis." Odyssey muttered and he sat down pondering. "How do you know about them?" Eve inquired. When he didn't answer she asked, "Who are they?" "The Twelve Armies of Nemesis. An intelligent lion creature controls each army, each are brothers. The oldest is Molokai; he controls them all and answers to no other then the evil witch Korona." "How do you know so much about them?" "Molokai is my brother." Odyssey said simply. Silence. Even the black lion's jaw dropped! "But you're a wolf!" Kato said," Not a lion." "I was exiled by them, because I didn't agree with their plans to overthrow our mother, Hyne. They stripped me of my powers and left me on the human realm, that was some eons ago. As for where they placed me was horrible, they put me in a research center in the ocean far away from here. When I broke out of there I had the ability to summon great magic from simple stones." He covered his face with his hands and shook his head in shame, his pure white mane falling gently upon his shoulders. Kato, feeling sympathy for her dear friend rubbed her head against his arm, "Don't be ashamed. What you did was good. Hyne must have been proud of you." "Come on, we don't have much time. Maybe you will get a chance to meet your brother Molokai and perhaps your revenge." The raven-haired woman said, "Oh and when we get there, call me by my other name, Dava. I happen to like it more then my original name." "Or that you still want to keep your secrets away from your comrades." Kato said sarcastically. "That too." Once the trio was back below inside the ship, they began to ponder how to get inside FH. Kato paced the cold floor thinking furiously. It was always she who had limitless ideas on how to get inside any building or city. But She had never heard of FH, so she was at a loss. "Tell me how the city was constructed again." Kato asked. "Well, like I said before, I don't remember much about FH during history class. But it was constructed to float above the sea, yet be held upward by long pillars made of a rare metal. It's all ancient technology there." She explained. An idea suddenly sparked in Kato's mind! "Can this ship dive under water?" "Of course." Eve answered, "What are you getting at?" "I think I may have a way to get into the city. There might be a way to find a sub base underneath FH." Kato explained. "A what?" Odyssey and Eve asked in unison. "A sub base. An entrance for underwater ships!" "But we don't know if they are there or even if we do find something like that, we don't know if it will work!" the half wolf said. "True, but what have we got to loose?" Kato inquired innocently. "She's got a point there." Eve murmured. * * *
Devon stared down upon the swarms of evil creatures surrounding the poor hardly defenseless city. Botanik was at his side, holding his arm gently as she too gasped at the horror below. They floated harmlessly a couple miles above the armies, their light mist covering them from prying eyes. Yet Devon stared coldly at the creatures below, the creatures that destroyed his life, his family. Botanik gently squeezed his arm, "You mustn't think of revenge at a time like this. Or anger will cloud your true sight and make you senseless." Devon merely nodded. "Let us go and be rid of this parasite." Botanik said and began to turn around, but Devon stopped her. "We have to help them no matter what." He said. "But our time to join them is not now." She answered quietly. He gazed at her maroon eyes and saw the pain and understanding there. "Then when?" "When the time is right, you will join the chosen group and I shall be your GF. Until then we must wait the arrival of the woman." Botanik replied. "You talk in riddles!" he retorted with frustration, "Who is this woman?" "She is our savior." Botanik replied quietly and led her champion away. * * *
