Chapter 10: Confusion A Plan Refused.
The three days had passed most of it spent with Reno healing his wounds from Ryo with rest and lots of beer. Stephen didn't speak a word after the battle he just stared at the Cosmo Candle oblivious to the world. Until the third day passed.
Marlene looked at Reno who had fully recovered a flask of liquor in his hand.
"Are we set to go?"
"Yeah we just got to wait for the fearless leader."
"Give him a break it's not his fault I mean-"
"That's enough Marlene!"
Stephen stood up his sword hanging on his back as he sheathed it and walked toward the rest he directed his attention to Red XIII.
"We set to go Nanaki?"
"Yes the gold chocobos are waiting outside with them we should be a Lucrecia Falls by the hour"
"Good let's go me and Marlene will take the first chocobos Shadow and Reno the others Red will follow by foot let get going make sure your weapons are equipped we won't be back for some time"
"Everyone nodded and mounted their chocobos Red close behind as they took off."
"Stephen what do you think Vincent will have to say do you think he found some power will he even teach us it if he did."
"Personally I think Vincent isn't powerful enough he had nothing to do with it I thought it before I even met him he was very hard to sense that's why I didn't find him myself."
"Well then why did we look for him if you knew that?"
"Simple even though Vincent wasn't too strong he was still able to hold all of the army at bay I don't think it was just geographical no I think he had serious magical help"
"Do you mean-"
"Maybe we'll only find out when we get there."
They reached Lucrecia Falls by night. The area hadn't changed at all on the out side however two guards stood by the entrance they looked very young maybe 16 at least.
Reno rolled his eyes "These are the guards man I that's sad."
"Shut up lets go!"
They made it to the mountain base and walked to the guards who immediately drew staffs across the door. Blocking the way.
"Halt who goes there"
"Relax shrimp we were invited"
Marlene elbowed his rip
"Don't call him that!"
"I may look like a shrimp but I assure you I'm still old enough to kick your ass!"
"Why you little-"
Stephen held out his arm silencing Reno.
"Look I'm here to see Vincent he called us here"
"I don't believe you why would some one as awesome as Vincent ask for you losers."
Stephen drew his sword and before anyone could blink the staffs were out of the guards' hands. He then pointed it at the first one while the other one stood frozen in fear
"Look I've had a very difficult three days so I suggest you get Vincent before I get him the more difficult way."
"N-never you can kill me and 2 more will take my place an-"
"Oh cut the bullshit!" Reno was starting to get pissed as he aimed the rod at the 2nd guard. "There's a big difference between bravery and bravado don't be stupid!"
Just then a huge growling was heard in the entrance it was too dark to see but the sound was loud and clear. The Guard Stephen had his sword pointed at was smiling.
"Oh you're going to get it now."
As if on cue a monster appeared out of the depths of the cave and charged towards the others. The monster resembled that as most would call a demon his wings long and bat like he had two arms and legs the arms extended with claws as the legs were almost human he had two strong horns attached to his skull and his face was dark a distorted his eyes shined a dark crimson glow and he was covered in think gray skin and hair. He spoke in a horrible voice that was very low and seemed to echo.
"Infidels you shall die if you do not leave this place!"
"Like I'll listen to a Halloween costume!! I'm gonna kick your a-"
Reno didn't have time to finish as he was tackled by the demon and was knocked out instantly. Marlene fired 4 precise shots into the beast one in the head back chest and knee but they didn't even manage to penetrate let alone hurt the beast. Noticing this as nothing but an annoying mosquito bite he flapped his wings sending a sort of gale force knocking Marlene into the same area as Reno knocking her out as well. Shadow was next doing his traditional jump but had no defense as the demon flew at incredible speed and grabbed him he then slammed him hard into the Mt. he slid down also unconscious.
Red and Stephen were watching the entire time not even bothering to move. Stephen started to laugh quietly while Red laid down.
"Have you had enough yet Chaos or is it Vincent? I'm not to sure what to call you in this state."
Chaos stared at him then charged. At full speed toward Stephen slamming him into the wall unlike the others he did not get knocked out he wasn't even fazed he wiped a small drop of blood from his mouth and drew his sword.
Chaos charged again this time Stephen caught him dead on with a cross to his face as he was sent flying with electricity surging through his body he managed to stand up and realized he couldn't fly for his wings were paralyzed with electrical energy. He looked up to se Stephen's had had been the cause.
"I am in no mood Chaos!"
Stephen then charged and drove his knee into Chaos's head driving him into the mountain and breaking the rock with his impact Stephen the slammed his hand into Chaos's throat and drew his sword holding it right in-between the demon's eyes. Red stared in shock not by the aggressiveness of Stephen's attack but by the look in Chaos's eyes.
It was a look of fear.
"Don't make me do that again!"
Chaos turned back almost immediately into Vincent his skin quickly becoming paler his wings bulging back into his back as they folded multiple times it was obviously rushed out of fear he was soon Vincent again.
"Very well come let us go inside"
Stephen went in first he looked at the two guards who were paralyzed with fear Vincent looked at them.
"Bring the others inside and bring them to the medical area they should be up in a few hours."
"Y-yes sir"
Stephen continued to pass and looked around. There was nothing there the faint dark lighting showed nothing out of the ordinary except for what seemed to be a shrine or maybe a bed used for someone long ago.
"Well is this it?"
Vincent walked forward and pressed a small witch that resided on the bed/shrine. The shrine soon moved to the side reveling a clear set of prism steps. They followed down soon after Vincent after he told them to follow.
The sight was amazing everything was made of crystal and material unknown to any man Stephen guessed it was a type of mako but couldn't tell there were floors with altars and statues all over everything was clear and shined in a rainbow light. Red was fascinated.
"Fascinating marvelous I've not seen this since the city of the ancients but how Vincent?"
"It's very simple Red this will be the resistance. Welcome to the new city of the Ancients."
Vincent opened a pair of metal doors the only think that you couldn't see through basically and turned to see hundreds if not more of people most sitting in an area while the women were singing a song that Stephen could not understand a word of but still seemed calming even to him.
"Ah so this is what happened to the Cetra."
"Indeed which is why I had awaited you all. But that can wait until later relax for now it too late to discuss anyth-"
Stephen interrupted him.
"I will look around but whatever you have to say you will say it after I am done!"
"Very well."
Stephen walked off toward the singing women.
It was a church anyone could see that but the idol they were worshipping seemed quite different it was of a girl who kneeled and prayed her eyes closed her hair long despite the look of the statue which was over 17 ft tall she looked quite human.
"Ah I see you are interested in our guardian."
Stephen turned around to see a beautiful girl with red hair looking at him she had a smile on her face and was quite well endowed.
"Yeah I guess so."
"That is our guardian she like us was once cetra but sadly she was killed by Sephiroth but in her death she became god. You see she was only half cetra so she could not enter the promised land where all full blooded cetra died but her humanity gave her power beyond comprehension and she was able to save this world form destruction in return for her compassion and power she became guardian of the human race and to this day watches us."
"And you believe that?"
"Well yes don't you"
Stephen thought back to the day his parents died and clenched his fist slightly
"I'm sorry but I stopped believing faith and gods a long time ago."
The girl sighed and looked at him then smiled again
"That's too bad you know you're kind of cute you want to at least hear us sing? It'll put your mind at east."
"I guess so"
"Great come on by the way my name is Millennia."
"Stephen"
Millennia pulled Stephen by the arm giving despite her look she was also quite strong and pulled Stephen with ease to the very front where the others were singing.
"Ok now sit here ok?"
"Fine."
Stephen just sat down lost in his own thoughts as Millennia lead the others in song (no lyrics just use your imagination if you've ever played Grandia II for the PS2 it will help a lot.) though their singing was almost hypnotic Stephen was too absorbed in his own thoughts to notice.
=What did Ryo mean I'm a weapon how is that even possible I was born from my mother and father I know my father had Jenova cells inside him but it's impossible for me to be any different then he was how am I a weapon and he was just a failed experiment?=
"They're good aren't they?"
Stephen snapped out of his trance just as the song was at it's close to see Red and Vincent standing by him.
"Yeah I guess."
"You know there are over three thousand Cetra here."
"I didn't spend time to count. And they weren't my main concern."
"Really and what was?"
"I want to know what kept Sephiroth's army at bay for so long I doubt it was those sorry excuses that you would call guards."
"Point well taken they are quite inexperienced in the fields of battle but their courage is unmatched"
"Courage and stupidity are two separate things Vincent" Stephen replied.
"I guess you are right if you must know I will tell you later because I have a request"
"I guess I've waited this long listening to you for a few minutes won't make a difference so what is it that you want?"
"Very well I'll get straight to the point like I said there are over three thousand people here women children men all considered a threat to Sephiroth at one point for being of Cetra blood they've all been stripped of their freedom and want it back desperately."
"So? What does what they want have to do with me?"
"Like I said they are courageous but inexperienced that is why I want you to teach them to fight raise them not as Cetra but as an army let them fight Sephiroth's army with you as their leader. I too have faced Sephiroth and have lost but you should stand a good chance."
Stephen looked at the choir one last time then stood up and walked away.
"I'm sorry I will not be the one who rushes innocents lives to their own graves I've got enough blood on my hands."
"But if you don't help them they will just waste away here they're their own prisoners with no battle skills but they are magically superior to the armies but magic alone won't help!!!!!!"
"You want me to teach them swordplay and fighting like my parents had taught me?"
"Well . . . .yes."
"What makes you think they would even learn?"
"They care for each other and the earth they know it's suffering under Sephiroth's reign and they want to help. They want to learn how to survive!"
"You want them to learn how to survive? Very well."
"Then you wi-"
Stephen interrupted Vincent once again.
"The first rule of survival is to look out for one's self only and none of these people will do that."
"But what about-"
Stephen stared at Vincent his eyes seemed to grow darker at that moment causing a chill to both Red and even Vincent.
"Listen to me cause I will only say this once! I follow that rule all the people who came with me Marlene Red all of them I only let them come cause they would be useful and could fend for themselves in their own ways I however will not let them slow me down if they slow me down in any way I will without hesitation get rid of them and if they get in my way I will dispose of them myself!!!!!!!"
This made Vincent take a step back Red stared at Stephen and said nothing.
"How can you be so heartless if your parents were her-"
"DON'T YOU EVER TALK OF THEM!!!!!!!!"
Vincent silenced himself as not because Stephen yelled so loud that even the choir itself stopped all of them including Millenia looking at him with concerned eyes. Vincent and Red were the only ones to see his face as he walked away from them.
"But they aren't here."
"I'm sor-"
"Very well! I will teach them under one condition if you can find any warrior in this place any man women child even yourself who can defeat me in a fight then I will deem them strong enough to take on Sephiroth and I will train them all under my own skills is that understood but I will not use the skills my parent taught me I will use my own style. The one I picked up after their deaths you may use any amount!"
With that he walked towards the exit
"When you find that person I will be outside."
With that he left the others still in shock.
"What did Hojo do to him?"
"It wasn't what Hojo did he just started the plan it's what Sephiroth finished."
But no matter how sorry they felt what they saw could not be changed and that was Stephen held his face he truly had no emotion or something wouldn't allow it no one could really tell but as he had glared at the two his face remained as it always was the only difference was tears fell out but he wasn't crying wasn't mad wasn't anything he was . . .emotionless and only his tears which he didn't even notice as he walked away proved his emotions were bound. (Man I couldn't put that as I wanted . so in plain English he was crying but he didn't know it or something like that sort of like Fishigi Yugi if you've seen it that would help.)
Marlene woke up breathing heavy and placed her hand on her chest to control her breathing. A kindly old lady walked up to her.
"Oh your awake about time you're the first though. My Vincent sure was rough on you youngsters I always tell him to be gentle when he's testing people but no he has to go all out."
"Vincent?"
Slowly at the name being said a memory of Marlene's was triggered it was a day of her childhood when Vincent had transformed.
"Yes I remember now Vincent was Chaos how did we win?"
"I think you should know that. That Stephen is a remarkable fighter I'm glad that Vincent chose him."
"Chose him? For what?"
Stephen stared at the lake of the falls throwing rocks in and staring at the ripples it.
=I wonder just how many he will send?=
Stephen then turned his head to hear someone coming up the stairs.
"So are you my first opponent?"
No answer was given
"Fine" Stephen drew his sword have it your way.
Stephen looked toward the stares a look or surprise crossed his face for only a second because in a way he had seen this coming.
The person finally walked up the stairs cocking her 2 pistols. Keeping one at her side and the other aimed at Stephen's head she stood by the door and smiled slightly.
"I guess I'm your first fight."
Ok bad news and good news bad news that's it for chapter 10 (if anyone cares) good news I'll have chapter 11 up by next week if not sooner as always for the love of god review PLEASE lol.
