Two Worlds: Chapter 2
A/N: Thanks for the reviews so far, and please review.
I slowly open my eyes, the pain in my skull pounding along with the beat of my heart. The emotions swirling around as I come back to consciousness. Anger and fear for what has transgressed, and what is now going to happen.
I hear Tidus slowly stirring next to me, and just as I open my eyes I see him get hit by a rifle while trying to stand up. I smirk a little at his misfortune, then slowly sit up, keeping an eye on the two armed guards at the time.
Seeing no harm done, I sit and wait patiently for whatever is going to happen next.
The door leading inside the ship opens, and I instantly focus on the blonde, strawberry haired girl who's walking next to the guy with a mohawk. She's the one who brought Tidus and me here, I think as they head toward us.
"Caynlr dras!" The mohawk guy yells, and I feel myself being pulled roughly to my feet with Tidus as they pat me down the girl holding my arm behind my back, doing the same with Tidus.
I ignore them, focused on the mohawk guy and what he's trying to show us, confused and angry I watch him as he tries to show us something that I don't understand.
Tidus starts arguing with the guy, and I shoot him a quick look to shut up before we both get into more trouble than we already are...
If that's possible.
I got my answer when a gun was shoved at Tidus by one of these other strange men as he yells: "Ehcumahla!!!" with enough hostility to make me worry about what's going to happen now.
"Fyed!!!" The girl yells, then adds to us finally in something we can understand: "He says you two can stay if you make yourselves useful!!!"
I look back in shock in surprise at the fact that someone can actually speak and understand what me and Tidus are saying.
Tidus says in the same tone of voice that I'm feeling: "You-You-You understand me?!" His response was to get hit by the butt of a rifle.
Tidus looks unhappy and frustrated on how this is going for him, as I calmly wait for them to let us go, "Fine... I'll work!!!" He yells.
I just shrug, not really caring as long as I don't get hit and get out of this spot. "Fine with me... When do we start?" I ask, looking at the girl as she lets us go.
The girl bounces back and forth on her feet, looking like she's celebrating the fact that she has gotten that we're no longer in trouble with the rest of her teammates, or whatever they are.
I shrug mentally, really doesn't matter, I think.
"There's some ancient ruins right beneath us! They're not active now, but if we fix it, we'll be able to salvage the big prize!" She says enthusiastically, as I roll my eyes about her energy, anxious and worried about what's going to happen after we get this "ancient ruin". I pick up my metal pole that they carried along with me, vaulting over the railing before she can say anything else.
"Um..." I hear her say in surprise from above as I break to the surface. "Lets go!!" Two splashes are heard as Tidus and Rikku dive in next to me.
"Well... Lets go..." I say, diving underwater, swimming deeper and deeper into the water, having the fishes swim around me as I go down.
I feel a bit on my arm, panic taking me for a moment and fear settling in as I see piranha-like fish with spikes on the top of them surround all of us.
I hold my pole at ready, Tidus and Rikku doing the same with their weapons. I swim in quickly, hoping for a quick fight as I hit a group of three hard vertically with my pole.
The fish die instantly on impact, squealing in pain as they disappear in a flurry of lights.
I smirk a little in cocky confidence as Tidus swims in, killing another group quickly.
I do a quick head count, wincing at the numbers. They outnumber us two to one.
Not enough to kill us, but enough to do some good damage if we don't win quickly. Determination surges through me, we'll beat all of them.
Tidus slashes the piranha fish, and they are also gone in a flurry of lights, and then the girl attacks, barely doing any damage as I cringe in worry.
The piranhas go after me, with the scent of my blood still in the water. They are driven to a feeding frenzy by it as I frantically try to hold them off as they attack all as one, slashing deep into my arms and legs, driven more by the blood being added by their new bites. Completely ignoring Tidus and the girl's frantic efforts to try to fight them off.
I feel water entering my lungs, unable to hold it back any longer as I feel myself drowning as panic and despair take over...
This is it....
I'm actually going to die.
Then it becomes too much even to stay conscious, as I once again go into the blackness that seems to be a part of my life now.
I cough up seawater, feeling like I'm going to throw up as I open my eyes. I look around, feeling relief as I realize that I'm back on the ship.
"Yna oui ugyo?" A voice asks me, actually sounding concerned as I sit up and see the speaker is the mohawk guy.
I slowly rub my head, wishing that my headache from getting hit by that rifle, and now nearly drowning would go away. I take a deep breath and cough, guessing on what he said and replying: "yeah... I'll live."
I sigh in frustration at their blank looks and massage my temples at the increasing headache from trying to communicate with them.
I wince, looking at all the bandages around my arms and legs. "Must've taken a real beating out there." I mutter to myself, trying to adjust the bandages but stopping when the mohawk guy glares at me.
Must be some way to communicate with him, I think. "Sara," I say, pointing to myself and hoping he'll understand.
He nods, pointing his own self, "Brother." He says gruffly, then looks away.
I roll my eyes, then look out at the water as Tidus comes back onto the ship. "Hey!! You're awake!" He says happily as we try to follow the rest of the group.
"Yeah... Thanks." I say, then Tidus gets rudely shoved away from the door as it closes.
"Hey!!! I helped out, didn't I?!" He yells at the now closed door as I sit down and lean against the railing, not really caring at this point about what happens as long as we're safe.
A little while later, I'm looking out at the ocean, standing now and ignoring Tidus's complaints about being hungry, even thought it is getting a little annoying.
I hear footsteps behind me and turn just in time to see the girl from before kick Tidus as I smirk.
"Hey!!!!!!!" He complains as I turn back to the ocean, ignoring the conversation once more as he happily eats and then nearly kills himself as I roll my eyes in disgust.
"I'm Rikku," the girl says, smiling and bouncing around a little.
"Sara," I say, still looking out at the ocean as Tidus introduces himself. "Why did you try to kill us before?" I ask, finally turnings to look at Rikku fully, wanting some answers, mad that this all came down like it did.
Rikku cringes at the question, obviously hoping to not have been asked it. "Well... The others thought oui two were a fiend." She says, doing a hand across the throat gesture that didn't need any translation.
"Um... Oui?" Tidus says blankly.
"Oh... Oui means you." She says as if it's the most obvious thing in the world as irritation rises in me again on how little I know on what's going on.
"Who are you guys?" Tidus asks, bewildered, me silently voicing the same thing as I listen, trying to show little interest.
"We're Al Bhed...." Rikku and Tidus chat idly for a few more minutes, me barely listening as I try to figure out a new strategy to get out of this strange situation.
Until Tidus shouts, in a demanding voice: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE A THOUSAND YEARS IN THE FUTURE?!"
That got my attention as I looked back at Rikku, looking baffled and surprised as I am by the outburst.
"Zanarkand was destroyed a thousand years ago.... You two were close to Sin!! It must've been the toxin that's making you think that you were from Zanarkand. Because it sure as heck isn't around today." She says seriously, and I can tell that she's not lying.
I draw in a heavy breath, letting out a heavy sigh as I realize the impact of those words.
We're now trapped here, with maybe no way to go home.
Not like I have much of a home to go to, anyway.
I shrug, barely listening to the rest of the conversation, deep in my own thoughts as Rikku leaves Tidus and me alone on the deck again as she heads inside, mumbling about some city called Luca.
Frustrated, Tidus kicks the ship, the boat shaking sideways as I snap out of my thoughts.
There's no way his kick could've caused the whole boat to shake, I think grabbing my pole from the deck and getting it ready as Al Bhed run out on the ship. A huge tidal wave appearing as the ship rocks sideways again, making me grab the rail just to stay on board.
"SIN!!" I hear one of the Al Bhed shout, and I feel the bottom of my stomach drop open as the impact of that word meant.
"SIN ec yddyldehk!!!!!!" I hear another one shout, and I have a feeling I know what they're saying without having to translate it.
A tidal wave sweeps the boat, and I feel myself being pulled towards the water, and I hold on tighter to the rail, seeing Tidus fall into a whirlpool as Rikku shouts for him.
"TIDUS!!!!!" I yell in desperation, seeing him disappear as Rikku dives in after him, the whirlpool already gone.
I see a rope attached to a hook, which is attached to the railing nearby, and I grab it, diving after Rikku, hoping to find her.
I look around frantically...
Only to see no sign of her.
TBC....
A/N: Finally found a translator, so I'll be translating what I said above down here. Here's it for this chapter:
"Caynlr dras!": Search them!
"Ehcumahla!!!": Insolence!!!
"Fyed!!!": Wait!!!
"Yna oui ugyo?": Are you okay?
"SIN ec yddyldehk!!!!!!": Sin is attacking!!
That's about it.... And I decided to change it a little early. I was debating on it and decided to. Well.. Please review!!!
