Nasuren:Liked it that much? Like I said, your request for Norris name is in here.
The only light was a single light bulb from the ceiling. The only thing people in the room was a teenager with longer than usual blue hair and a officer in a Porrie uniform with out the helmet. They sat on the opposite sides of a bland table, the teen quite and the man reading a file.
The man looked up and checked the picture. After confirming it was the right person he started to read, "Tidal Kurumetsu, age 19, origin: Arni in El Nido, lives in a house near here with mom, Innate: white. Move here to attend college. Dreams of going pro in blitzball." (he was half right on that one) "Let's see your scores, ....... [whistles], with these, you could have gotten into the Black Wind without training. Preferred weapon, twin swords. Now don't get me wrong, but are you holding anything back?"
'Typical, trying to bust me for something I didn't do.' The boy thought. "No sir."
"Panther shadows attack. Those are really rare monsters, especially where there is sunlight. A man in bandages throws you this." he pick the weapon up and set it down "A man no one else saw. The monsters went straight for the players, which sound like a coordinated attack. It sounds like some one was after a player." the office got up and walked around. " Or maybe it was a stunt. A incident in which you play the hero sounds like the perfect thing for a player who is about to go finish college and try to be recruited into the Pros." The interrogator was trained to do this, like it or not. It was important to consider all angles in this business, even if there was evidence or not.
"I had nothing to do with it." Tidal replied calmly, a good sign for the officer to tell his innocence. It was when they start yelling that proved that they were guilty or just plan stupid.
The officer then sat and again pick up the weapon. "Then please explain this. Do you know what this is?" the boy shook his head. "Not even what it's called?" The boy once again shook."I trained with it before..."
"Then let me ask you, why do you use twin swords?"
"A balance between power and speed, with both depending on the user and his abilities" Tidal answer.
The officer put the weapon back on the table with a sigh."It has many names: Oars, shark tooth or teeth, twin edges if the blades were facing the same way. But it's popular and official name is a Swallow. Like the bird's beck of the same name, it can be used both in and out of water. Similar to twin swords, it's abilities are limited to the users." the officer pick up the weapon yet again and examined it "This is made out of bone. Light and easy for beginners. Hmmmm...." he took a closer look at the swallow, "Heckran bone, able to withstand most attacks and magnify the user's magic. It's hard to find forgable bones that won't break during forging." He spotted a black crystal at one of the blades. After looking at it for a second, He flipped it over and found another "Hmmmm...."
"What?" Tidal asked. He was getting interested in this. It seemed like an ordinary weapon to him before.
"Two Battle Crystals. Not the kinds used today, but the original. Barriers that could pop up without help in a split sec or, if needed, go all the way and injure people or worst, if the owner so desires. That last trait has only been in weapons in the military. To kill with one like you school's the only way would be to kill 'em after the barrier disappear. Every try to copy it exactly has failed. Swallows are easy to make, but due to the popularity of others weapons, hard to find. This here could buy a army ten times ours, not including the crystals. I've seen only one other, wielded by the greatest warrior I've seen. Unlike twin swords that relies a bit of the materials, swallows depends the user all the way. The materials just give it a boost and abilities." the man looked off into space. "Those were the days...."
The man snapped to as the door opened and a familiar voice entered the room. "If you miss the pass so much, you must be ignoring the present."
"Sir Arthur Norris, it's been a while!" The officer shot up and got a seat from the corner "Please have a seat. So what brings you here?"
"Thank you, old man." pigs must have started to grow wings,because MR. NORRIS SMILED,"This one is a student of mine, and I'll thought you might like this..."he said handing over another file. The officer took it and read it. He must have found something interesting, because he constantly looked at Tidal. Then he read outloud...
"Serge Korotesu, a.k.a. Tidal Kurumetsu," Tidal's eyes went wide at hearing this, no one was supposed to know about it at all. "Age: 19, Innate color.... huh? You have no innate color?" He hit the nail on the head, Tidal used turn white to change it. "Parents, Marge and ...Wazuki Korotesu? Your his son? Left and changed name because....someone hunted him down?" The officer look like he seen a ghost.
The officer put the file down. "Some one hunted Wazuki down..... impossible....."
"It looks like the culprits are back." Norris spoke.
"Wait a sec, you two knew... dad?" Serge/Tidal asked
"Yes, he saved both our skins" Norris answered
Flash back
We were to find out if someone was raising an army around your town at the time. The team included both me and then a Sargent Greer, the man you see before, and other Black Wind soldiers, of which I was a private. Rumor had it there was a mad man named Sphinx trying to raise an army. Our mission was to find out and stop it if true, however.....
"Sir Norris, we can't hold out much longer!" Sphinx had developed an armor that could resist both elements and bullets. Back then a melee weapon was only a back up weapon. Sphinx spread the rumor and destroyed a few homes to lure us there to test his new 'toys' with his minions, a group of shadow demons.
"So this is the Mighty Black Wind. I'm unimpressed." If it wasn't for the barriers we would have been killed. They over powered us with ease. When the others were injured and only a few us were left....
"Kill them, I have enough data." Sphinx turned and tried to leave...
"Then try to fight fair." came from above us. In a instant a man dropped down from the walk way above us and cut one of the enemies in half and it disappeared with a scream. In mere seconds he laid waste to the whole opposition. Sphinx had escape during the commotion, leaving us to lick our wounds.
"What's your name?" Greer asked the man.
"Wazuki, I came to find who destroyed those houses and hurt those people."
end flash back
"You were young and most likely not remember the incident. After that, he joined us to hunt Sphinx down as a mercenary. It turned out a corrupt leader in the military hired Sphinx to create soldiers so he could assume total power. After that Greer became the head of a special unit to investigate and punish people like that, I got promoted to commander in the Black Wind. Wazuki disappeared, supposedly to go back home. However, one month later your mother came to us for help. Only me and a few others knew that you had name changed." Norris then ended his story.
"What happened... to dad?" then teenager was standing up hoping for good news.
"He tried to stop those hunting him from hurting you and your mother...." Norris answered, with a hint of pity.
The teen then placed his head down on the table.
"Those were most likely the same people.' Greer added, "Don't you get it? They might have went after you to try to get to him!" The teen lifted his head. 'He's right, there is still a chance'
"Now for more pressing matters," Norris interrupted,"regardless the might be more out there. We need to protect you until we stopped them. There is two choices. One is lock Tidal up at H.Q."
Both Greer and the Tidal "WHAT!!"
"It's the best place, the building is Crawling with guards and infantry. It's the safest place."
"That if the lad survives!" Greer roared
"What about mom?. Tidal asked.
"we'll move her until she's safe. Don't forget their after you." Norris answered
"Option B?" tidal asked.
"For Serge to join me and the Black Wind."
The girl continued to much on her snack. She was in her teens and had a face that could launch an armada. She was wearing a silk dress and her long blonde hair was lose and fell almost all the way to the ground. Her back was to a post in a bland room that only contained a few plants to brighten it. A door could be heard opening behind her.
"He was attacked." the man in bandages said as he sat down.
"So the first move is in Serge's world. Was it him?" she asked
"A man in black, who knew of FATE. Fits the description, though I didn't see the face. Shouldn't we do more than let him be?" The man asked.
"Dario, don't worry. He'll be fine. Go get some rest." With this he stretched and headed for another door. Ashe turned the handle...
"How much longer?"
"...one year, I hope."
"Are you sure about him joining Porrie?"
"It's another country now from when you were a Dragoon three centuries ago." She was right, it hasn't been that long since she saved him by summoning him here from that fatal fall. "By then your wounds would have healed and you will be able to return to her." He then entered and closed the door.
The girl felt a familiar presence that normally chill people.
"So you were right." came from a cloaked man appearing from the shadows."Is he strong enough in my world?"
"One year and both sides will be ready. Both arbiters are not ready for the fight yet. It's not FATE I'm worried about."
"Then I shall return home." He said as he approach the door Dario came from."One warning, if she gets hurt because of this, I will have your head. My ancestor or not."
"No fears, Janus. She is my decedent after all. Beside Lucca would kick my butt. If she finds this place once more, that is. Didn't I predicted that you should enter that tournament? Because of that, Crono, his family, Lucca, and the orphans are still alive. Don't forget she is also my daughter's descendant, too."
Note that the girl and Dario are THE ACTUAL CHRONO CROSS CHARACTERS. If you got the good ending, you'll know who she is. If you say Kid, I'll beat 'cha with a stick (holds up a twig) ....Huh? Where's my bat?
