Chapter 45
Blade Vs. Dava
Eve left the room to find Squall, her father. She stepped outside into the humid air of mid summer and scanned the crowds of SeeD's. There he stood in the middle of it all ordering and directing his men for the upcoming assault. He looked so fierce and still good looking at the age of thirty-six with his hair having grown longer to his shoulders he looked a lot like Laguna when he was in his forties. 'Here goes nothing.' She said mentally and made her way into the mass of people, her Lion Soul reflecting the sun's rays like diamonds.
Squall's cell phone rang and he grabbed it.
"Hello?"
"Hey Squall? It's me Laguna; I have found the whereabouts of the missing GF's. They are being held by a woman named Magama Nemesis, but we don't know if she is the sorceress." "Then she's probably here waiting for us. Can't you spare any more of your men? There are millions of these creatures here!"
"I'm sending another fifteen-thousand over soon. We have a war here too Squall, there is an army swarming on the outskirts of Esther City. Your not the only one trying to save his people." Laguna said. Squall sighed,
"Very well, Good luck father."
"Love you son." Laguna said and hung up.
Squall wasn't prepared for that statement. Ever since he found out that Laguna was his father he had avoided him as much as possible that was until Eve was born and Ellone told him. Laguna had personally traveled to their home to see his granddaughter.
'My little girl where are you? Hopefully away from all this danger.' He said with a sadness in his heart. He had known it was his fault she ran away because he wouldn't let her learn the art of war. He missed his girl dearly.
A flash of white caught his eye and he turned to find the young woman heading his way her gunblade in her hand blinding his eyesight. He had never seen such a weapon but in this day and age there were many things he didn't know about.
Out of nowhere a handful of bite bugs flew into the air showering the people below with their stings. He watched as a sting caught Dava off balance and it skinned her shoulder. Her hair tie ripped from another impact and she turned to face her five opponents. Quicker then his eye he watched her dice them into bits and pieces. She ran to another group of bite bugs and watched her smolder all of them in one powerful Firaga. Satisfied she turned her head toward him and began to walk towards him.
Squall couldn't help but notice that the girl reminded him of someone he knew even when he was in the conference room challenging her.
"Hello ." Why couldn't she let that word escape her tongue, why did she hold back from calling him Father?
"Nice fight Dava. What do you want?" Squall inquired.
"Um.everything is ready with my squad. Vanyel has junctioned Ifrit & Cerberus, Gwena has Shiva and Carbuncle, and Blade has Leviathan and Doomtrain that Quistis gave him. I have Siren and Quezocotl junctioned to me with the most powerful spells such as Firaga, a couple Ultima and Flares. My other comrades have white magic and concoctions of their own." Eve explained.
"Very well. I want you to know also that if you and your group comes along a woman on this enemies side, you are to question her until we arrive. Is that understood?" Squall asked sternly.
"Yes Commander, yet why?"
"She holds two GF's that have been stolen from us three years back."
"Oh, may I know which ones?" Eve said curiously.
"Eden and Bahamut. You are dismissed now." Squall said impatiently. Eve narrowed her eyes but followed the order. 'Bahamut and Eden the two most powerful GF's on the planet. Hmm.'
Throughout the afternoon and the early evening, all was quiet and unnerving. Eve walked back to headquarters to find her squad outside enjoying the cool breeze. There sat Blade and Gwena chatting together while Vanyel was talking to Odyssey and Antonia the ex-general of Galbadia. Kato was lying down her eyes half closed enjoying whatever peace was left before the real fighting began.
Eve sat down away from them and took out her X-2 Scan. First she scanned Blade and all his information came up. He was a gunblade expert his current limit break was the Winded Orb. His health was remarkably high in the eight thousands while his fighting level was eighty-seven. She then scanned Gwena, the beautiful blonde. She was already at the same health and level as her own. She remembered the woman's persistent adventures around Balamb, always fighting bite bugs and T-Rexaurs. Her level was ninety-two and her limit break was.damn she had a lot!
'Hmph, I'm already at my highest level of ten thousand, which was miraculous since no other student in history could achieve such a high life rating. Maybe it's because I'm a sorceress? Who knows maybe I'll be able to get to a higher hp echelon.'
Next came Van, whose health was a bit low of seven thousand three hundred sixty two and his level was eighty-four. 'Not bad, though he has a long way to go.' Next was Antonia, the dark haired woman. Now here was a woman she hardly knew yet her weapon fascinated her. It was a combination of a boomerang and a long sword. Her limit break was called Miasma Flush and her health were already as high as could be. Her GF was the cute little Tonberry and Cacatuar.
Eve scanned Odyssey and the X-2's monitor lit up and she read:
Odysseus, the thirteenth of Hyne. HP: ???? Weapon: White Staff Limit Break: Gold Mist Future Stars Seer's Touch
"Hp unknown.that's interesting." Eve muttered. Then she scanned Kato and was more bemused then ever! The lion's HP was also unknown and the only info on her was that she was an alchemist.
She sighed and for a moment she lost her train of thought and relaxed her tense muscles. She actually stopped to notice the cool breeze sweep by wisping (~~Is that a word?) away the heat emanating from her body. She smiled faintly until a certain someone sat down next to her.
"Hey." He said quietly. His face was serious this evening and his cheery mood had disappeared.
"Listen.err I don't know how to say this but when you were gone, a part of me was ripped away. I really missed you."
"You don't ever have to fret about me. I can take care of myself." Eve stated coldly and walked away. Seifer sat down beside his son and sighed.
"Don't bother. She's as bitter as her old man was her age. It took a complete angel to bring him out and your not that angel Dra' kan, please I wouldn't want my son hurt."
"It's Dark Blade, not that weird name. And who made you Mr. Know it all?! I have a chance and I'm not going to loose it." Blade retorted.
"She will be mine." he whispered darkly making his father's eyebrow rise up in question. * * *
'Is it just me or did Blade hit on me again? Why can't he take a hint? I wasn't meant for love. I need to stay focused on the war and my revenge nothing else!' She contemplated, yet another side of her whispered that it would be good to have warm protective arms around her body. A smile to fight for, to caress with her own lips.
"No." she said out loud and began to walk up the stairs to the train tracks.
Everyone was already sleeping, regaining as much energy as possible. Her mind drifted back to Blade and she envisioned his face in her head. Tall and muscular, ash blonde hair and piercing green eyes: his body wrapped up in a black trench coat with Tiamalt designs on the back and baggy pants. His feet enclosed by firm tight army boots.
Oh yes he was gorgeous and yet he held a boyish personality. Why didn't she feel a connection?
It was then when she was slammed against a building pressed hard by another larger body. She froze, her hands crossed to her chest as she breathed forgetting her instincts to fight back.
His breath was hot against her skin and he was breathing harshly gazing down at her yet his brute strength did not relent his grip on her.
It was Blade staring down at her his green eyes staring hard at her, anger shadowing every corner of his eyes.
"I try and try but you push me away and this time I won't give up so easily." He whispered with anger hidden within his icy tone. Eve didn't like this situation one bit a lashed out with all her strength giving her just enough time break loose from his grip.
"If you want a fight bring it on!" Eve growled as she unleashed Lion soul, "I'll be able to put my sword to good use now."
Dark Blade smirked and grinned maliciously, "Don't worry I won't hurt you, much."
He brought out his gunblade called Kruelty. Its silvery edge glinted wickedly at her and the unspoken battle began. He rushed at her with his blade and struck hers as she raised it up to defend her position. The sound of constant clashing of metal echoed the still night ambiance. Even though it was dark, the street lamp was all they needed.
Eve's last attack caught Blade off balance and she took the moment to cast Firaga at him. He took the blow lightly and he growled as Dava smiled at her small victory. He struck a flare upon her and Dava's smile turned into a thin line of hate. She watched him rush at her, his gunblade pointed at her throat but he missed when she jumped on top a crate and jumped over him landing softly behind. With strength behind her leg she connected with his legs and watched him fall onto his back. She backed away and cast a Curaga upon herself.
"Had enough?" Eve spat but swallowed her words when he summoned a deity she hadn't expected: Leviathan. She watched him fade into the darkness still remembering his grin. Above her rose rocks upon rocks of rubble, but that wasn't what worried her. The scream from the serpent chilled her body as she felt mist encase her as she looked above.
Seconds seemed like hours but an idea flew into her mind and she summoned a beast of her own: Quezocotl. She too faded back into the shade for now safe from the serpents flood. But her mind watched as the two creatures clashed with brutal force. She had never thought that such an event could occur!
Blade watched as Dava summoned her own force and he too watched with revelation as the two beasts left their usual routines and assailed each other spraying water and electricity in all direction. They were no longer in the city but in another dimension of emptiness where these two creatures could fight without harming others.
Leviathan screamed a triumphant victory yell when she struck Quezocotl down. The bird then snuck up and bit the serpent's neck and the creatures vanished together revealing Dava and Blade standing, weapons in hand. * * *
Magama and Molokai snapped their heads up at the distant yet faded clashing of swords and the bright glow of GF's.
"Something's stirring in the human city." Molokai whispered.
"Not human, this is where a fight between two deity's. Most likely Guardian Forces. See that glow of yellow and blue? They are taking their fight away from the earth realm." Magama explained.
"Hmm." Was Molokai's only answer as the army along with them watched. * * *
"You dared summon a Guardian onto me!" Eve yelled as she rushed at Blade. Their swords hit harder and sparks flew this time and the moment froze and Eve noticed a hint of anger mixed with glee in her opponents sea green eyes.
Blade pushed her back with all his strength and quickly struck the blade upwards. The edge slid across her face adding another wound to her face. Blood gushed from her forehead and he froze with fright giving her the time to strike back embossing the identical mark on his face.
From afar stood two individuals quietly watching the secret fight. Seifer watched quietly noticing the hatred between his son and Squall's daughter, yet he promised Rinoa he wouldn't tell Squall that Dava was his lost daughter.
"Does this remind you of something Squall?"
"Yes. Their hate for each other reminds me of our rivalry years ago." Squall answered reminiscing in the past when he was seventeen fighting Seifer.
They had stumbled upon the sound of metal conflicting against each other and spied the rivals exchange furious blows. They decided against intervening.
Squall's heart was gripped by a icy hand when he watched as Dava was struck by Blade's sword and he wanted to some reason go defend her. Who did she remind him of?! Suddenly the woman mimed her opponent's attack and gave the exact opposite strike. She drew a line of red across his flawless skin and the fight went on.
Eve gazed up at Blade who glared at her, the cut across his face slowly flowing down across his face. He looked sinister for just a couple seconds and a feeling overwhelmed her within her soul. It wanted her to stop this foolishness and end it all, but she didn't give it a second thought as he ran toward her shouting at the same time. Time stopped and Dava stood up her Lion Soul outstretched and ready for anything.
"Bring it on." She whispered between ragged breaths.
Blade struck her sword and both of their weapons hummed in unison giving off a chilling yet blood curdling sound. The impact blew both the rivals away from each other. Blade struck the building wall and lay there while Eve struck the ground and her elbow against the set of train tracks.
Squall and Seifer had seen enough and left the two alone.
"I hope they discover that fighting is not the answer." Squall muttered.
"The thing is my son is in love with that girl and tonight he said he would win her over. I didn't know it would end like this." Seifer explained.
"Glad that your son's not in love with my daughter where ever she might be." Squall joked but Seifer snickered.
"What?"
"Nothing puberty boy." Seifer said and walked onward. 'You have no idea Squall. That *is* your daughter.' * * *
*Yeah what a cliff to hang onto huh? LOL I know I'll have another chapter up in a day or so. Drop me a comment! What are you waiting for, c'mon! We don't have all day ^^ *
