The Chronicles of Omega
Chapter #02
"Corruption"
The sea was remarkably calm. And since he was the only passenger on the ship to Bevelle, Omega enjoyed his trip. He was still in the torn rags of his former clothes, however. The trip took a week, since Bevelle was so far, but the wait was worth it. Omega had been to Luca many a time for Blitzball tournaments, and he thought that city was magnificent. When he finally got close enough to Bevelle, close enough to see it in detail, his jaw dropped, he stood there, mouth agape. Bevelle was beautiful! So many large structures! Larger than the Blitzball stadium in Luca! And so beautifully designed! So many nicely dressed people walking around! It took until the ship landed for Omega's jaw to come back up. He instantly ran out of the boat, and ran to the nearest clothing merchant. There, he bought some clothes to replace his torn rags, and changed right there on the street. Many people stared at him, but he didn't care. After he was done, he looked presentable enough to face the council of the high priests of Yevon. He then ran to the temple, where all the high priests' council was. Since no other people had scheduled a meeting with the council, Omega went right in. The council room was magnificent. There was a stand where Omega was to stand, and above that, there were the stands on the council members, up on a high ledge. Omega stood there waiting for the council members to arrive. Three hours passed, even. Then, the doors behind Omega flung open and a warrior monk ran in. "Excuse me sir, but the council members are at Kilika to work out a plan to defend Kilika better against Sin." The warrior monk said. "When will they return?" inquired Omega. "Oh, around a week." Said the monk. "Crap." Omega walked past the warrior monk, and out into the streets. He then started to walk towards the inn. "One week!? Crap crap crap... if only I stayed in Kilika for a bit longer. No matter. One week is nothing. In the meanwhile, I can think about what I'm going to say. Then, we hunt Sin like the animal it is. No mercy. I can't wait." Omega thought as he arrived at the inn. He had brought his life savings: 10,000 Gil. So, naturally, he bought a nice room for a week and a half. As he arrived at his room, and sat down on his bed, he started pondering how to defeat Sin without a summoner. Maybe he could kill Sin himself. If not, he could always become a summoner's guardian, and help defeat Sin. No, he had a bone to pick with Sin. Plus, he couldn't die. He was already dead. Omega's victory was assured. Then, Omega's thoughts turned to what weapon to use. "Berserker sword? Nah, to slow. But definitely powerful. Long sword? No, he would need something stronger and faster. That ruled out daggers, claws, dual swords... Not much left after that. Axe maybe? Yes, an axe! Best be a large axe. Ah, strong and good speed. Best I could I guess. I'll use that then." He thought. Omega then got up and walked to the weapons dealer in the streets.
"Excuse me, do you have a good axe for around... say... 2,000 Gil?"
"Oh yes! Let me go get it, wait please!" The shop-keep then ran off into the back of his booth, and came back with a massive axe! It was beautiful, gold twirled the black material that made the handle, with the image of a phoenix on both sides of the one blade. On the top of the handle, above the blade, there was a spike, made of some glowing purple material.
"Oh, my word, this is beautiful! But, may I ask, what is this glowing purple material on the top?"
"That is a spike made from a destruction sphere, from the Cloister of Trials in the temple here in Bevelle."
"I'll take it!" And with that, Omega bought his axe, which he named "Light and Dark". He then returned to his room, and slept until the next day. Throughout the week, he simply walked around, admired the sights, and eventually, jumped in the water to practice Blitzball. Many others joined him, and Omega became very happy. Until the day the council members arrived. After a week had passed since the day that he learned the council members were in Kilika, he returned to the temple. He was sent immediately in again, and only stood for five minutes before the council members came in. They were so high up, Omega couldn't make out their faces, but he could sure hear them well. "Sir, please speak." One of the council members boomed.
"My lord, I propose we attack Sin immediately. I believe we lure Sin to a location with some of it's spawn, then attack it."
"But where will we get the spawn?"
"We will search for them, and capture them."
"How will we kill Sin then?"
"I say we get as many summoners as we can, and have them summon aeons to defeat Sin."
"Why?"
"To create another calm. To be able to let the people of Spira not to sleep in fear."
"Why should we sacrifice the summoners?"
"Well, you're going to sacrifice them when they defeat Sin with the final Aeon."
"Sir, we disapprove of your plan. You are dismissed."
"So, you're fine with sacrificing the summoners when they defeat Sin with the final Aeon, but you won't let the summoners who want to band together to defeat Sin?"
"Yes, we won't."
"This is preposterous! We must defeat Sin! It will kill us all!"
"You will all probably deserve it. All the people of Spira want to do is play and watch Blitzball. You don't care about anything else! You will all die, and we priests will simply laugh at you fools for being so ignorant!"
"You pigs! You call yourselves high priests of Yevon!? You are as cruel as Sin itself!"
"How dare you insult a high priest! Guards! Remove this man!" At this, the guards came in and grabbed Omega by the arms, and dragged him out. The guards threw him out in the street, and walked inside, where they locked the doors! Omega got up and started pounding on the doors "Do you hear me!? Listen! We must defeat Sin! We must!" He yelled at the door. Omega finally backed off and stomped back to his room. There he grabbed his axe, and walked out of the Inn. As he got out of the Inn, a roar pieced the loudness of the crowd.
