(Con't of Issue 2)

"Ms. Williams, the boxes are almost loaded."

Ms. Williams

"Good. I don't know what the mistress would want with this junk. Oh well..."

"Ms. Williams, the mages are prepared just in case something unexpected happens."

Ms. Williams

"I'm guessing this will be a good flight.

Eiko

" (whispers) How are there still evil black mages?"

Tifa

"I saw those before with Mai. They sent me to this place."

(They sat and thought, but then...)

Dude

"Hello, ladies. Are you eavesdropping on us? Now you know what happens to eavesdroppers, don't you?

Tifa

"No, but I do know what happens to those who catch the eavesdroppers..."

-BOOM!-

(Tifa does a somersault kick at the dude)

Dude

"Ugh."

(An alarm sounds)

Tifa

"Are you a good fighter?"

Commander Dude

"Mages, attack!"

Random Battle

Tifa

"Five mages"

Eiko

"Watch this."

Eiko summons Fenrir

Eiko

" Fenrir, get em'!!"

Tifa

"Wow, a summon spell. Does this place have material?"

Eiko

"No, we have summon crystals."

Battle Over

Ms. Williams

"Hello, ladies. I guess I should introduce myself. I am Nina Williams.

Tifa

"Nice to know, but don't really care. If you work with Mai, you're well is dead."

Nina

"Ooh, a feisty one. That would be a nice battle, but I have something else to do... but you should be fine to my little friends"

Eiko

"Uh... Tifa, there are like twenty mages here..."

Tifa

"Think we could take them...wait you miscounted there are thirty... wait...they're multiplying"

Eiko

"Uh oh...wait... I could summon Madeen!"

"...But she can only take on 3 at a time..."

Nina

"Well, bye then!"

Eiko

" EeeK!!"

(The mages all raised their staffs about to cast fire. Eiko covered her head, Tifa stood with her fists up. They were both back to back) (The mages staffs started to glow.) (Then all of a sudden there was a blinding light) ( A figure came down saying, "Wind Scar!") (All of the mages disappeared into nothingness)

Eiko

"(Opens eyes) Huh?"

Tifa

"I can handle myself!
He thinks he can come in and save the day... ooh he's rude rude rude!

Eiko

"... Wow....... He's the greatest."

(Eiko stares at Inuyasha with a clearly I'm-not-here look)(Tifa pokes her and Eiko starts to kick dirt and blush)

Eiko

"Tifa... who..who is that?"

Tifa

"A BIG SHOWOFF!"

Inuyasha

"Who are you calling a showoff? I just came because I smelled fire."

Eiko

"OH THANK YOU MR. FOR SAVING US!!"

Inuyasha

"The name's Inuyasha."

Eiko

"(What a beautiful name... Inu-ya-sha...)...(We'd make a beautiful couple...)"

Tifa

"Eiko? Eiko!?!"

(Tifa pokes Eiko and Eiko looks down and blushes)

Nina

"You killed my mages!!"

Inuyasha

"So that's what they are called."

Nina

"Well, I won't be as easy to defeat!"

Inuyasha

"Come on"

Tifa

"I'm going to fight you!"

Inuyasha

"Maybe you shouldn't, you're not in a high enough league yet."

Tifa

"Must resist feeling to kill...calm yourself..."

Eiko

"He's so full of spunk...he's perfect..."

(Tifa takes off at Nina at full speed)

(She flips and jumps off of a barrel toward Nina)

(Nina does a back flip toward the middle of the ship)

Nina

"I must tell you that I've been in 5 fighting tournaments"

Tifa

"I must tell you that that doesn't make a difference."

(Nina lunges at Tifa)(Tifa steps backward and punches Nina through the floor)

(Inuyasha goes toward the large window at the bottom to watch)

(Eiko literally floats to Inuyasha's side not to watch the battle, but to admire him...)

(Tifa jumps through the new hole to kick Nina, but Nina jumps up and dodges, causing Tifa's foot to get stuck in the floor)

(Nina does a chain combo of hits at Tifa until Tifa finally freed her foot at which time swung to hit Nina)

Tifa

" Oww...that hurt"

Nina

" (Cough) (spits) Well, I guess that puts your leg out of commission. You should give up now before I break it."

Tifa

"I'd never give up, and plus I don't have to use my leg to beat you. Maybe I'll be slower, but there are a lot of strategies in this gal!"

(Tifa jumps and climbs out of the bottom, back to the top) (Nina does a high jump to almost land on Tifa's injured leg, but Tifa moves before it comes down.)

Tifa

"I can feel it coming"

(Tifa grabs Nina, who punches her in the face.)

(Tifa kick Nina off the ship)(Nina almost landed on Eiko, but Eiko floated out of the way)

Tifa, --Limit Break--

Inuyasha

"Limit Break?"

Tifa

"YAY!"

Nina

"Limit Break?"

Eiko

"(OH!) Limit Break? That must be like the same thing as trance!"

Tifa

"Most likely is, Eiko. Well, this battle is ova-"

Nina

"I'm sorry, but things in your world won't be the same as in this world..."

(A bright light surrounds Tifa)(It disappears, but she is still glowing)

Tifa

"Uh... I'm glowing...is that good?"

Eiko

"Tifa! It's the same as your limit break things! Use it!"

Tifa

"...okay."

Tifa uses Waterkick

Nina

"AHHH! (glub) ...

Water subsides

Tifa uses Meteordrive

Tifa

"TAKE THIS! YA!!"

(BOOOM!)

(Tifa backdroped Nina into a box, which in turn exploded)(Nina came out, looking less then wonderful, and collapsed to the ground)

Kuppo

" KUPPOOO!!!"

Eiko

"I'll save you Kuppo!"

(Eiko jumped up to the front of the ship and untied Kuppo)( After that the ship suddenly took off with Eiko and Kuppo on it)

Tifa

"Eiko! Kuppo!"

Eiko

"It's too high to jump!"

Inuyasha

"That Eiko girl reminds me of someone..."

Tifa

"Jump!"

Eiko

"Come on, Kupo, we have to jump!"

Kuppo

" Kupooo..."

Eiko

"Tifa, Kuppo's scared...wait, never mind!

Kuppo, get in my dress!"

(Kuppo proceeded to get in Eiko's dress and she jumped)(She landed in trees and bushes far away)

Tifa

" ...(starts to run)...(looks back)... Inuyasha come on!"

Inuyasha

"I don't have to take orders from you..."

Tifa

"... fine then, you blatant jerk."

(Tifa proceeded to run looking back at Inuyasha with an evil glare.)(Eiko was pretty scratched up and unconscious, but she looked okay.)(Tifa went to carry both Eiko and Kuppo, but they together were a bit heavy for Tifa.)

Tifa

" Hmm...how can I do this...Maybe that was a bit mean what I said to Inuyasha. However, he was being selfish not helping me out. I wonder what's on his mind

...Uh... I need help with this... Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha

" WHAT?!"

Tifa

"Um... COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME CARRY THESE TWO BACK TO THE MOOGLE VILLIAGE??"

Inuyasha

"...WAIT, AREN'T I TOO MUCH OF A BLANTANT JERK? (Whatever that is)"

Tifa

"...ugh... HEY! I just had a great idea!"

Tifa equips Chocobo Finding Materia

" KWWWWEEEEH!!"

Tifa

"If this place has limit breaks, then it's bound to have Chocobo!"

(Tifa boarded the chocobo with Eiko and Kuppo at back.)(The Chocobo darted past Inuyasha and was on her way toward the villiage)(As she was going, Eiko woke up)

Eiko

"...huh? Tifa?"

Tifa

"You're okay. We're heading back to the moogle village."

Eiko

"It's not a moogle village, that's the village of the summoners, Madain Sari."

Tifa

"Oh...sorry. Hey, what's that black thing up ahead"

Eiko

"...I don't know"

(They stopped when they go to the black line in the ground)

(Inuyasha followed close behind)

Tifa

"This looks like one of the dimensional portal things..."

Inuyasha

"We can finally leave this place."

Eiko

" Um...well"

Tifa

"I guess this is goodbye then..."

Eiko

"Um... can...can I come with you guys? I won't be any trouble I promise "

Tifa

"What about the moogles, and this village? Als"

Inuyasha

"you're too young, and plus you're dead weight."

Tifa

"Not exactly what I was saying...but you are too young."

Inuyasha

"Now I know who she reminds me of"

Eiko

"I'm coming no matter what you say!! Kusho could you watch over the villiage while I'm gone?"

Kusho

"Sure, Kupo. Just be careful"

Tifa

"Can we stop back at my bar?"

Inuyasha

"Bar?"

Eiko

" Whatever you say, Tifa, I'm following you no matter what."

Inuyasha

"But wai-"

Tifa

"Then it's settled!"

(Tifa opened the flap on the hole)

Eiko

"Kusho, could you get some of the moogles to patch this up once we are gone?"

Kusho

"Sure, Kupo! Have a great trip!"

(Tifa jumped in and disappears)

Eiko

"I'll will!!"

(Eiko jumped in and disappears)

Inuyasha

" ...(grumble)..."

(Inuyasha jumps in and disappears )

What will await them when they get to Midgar? Will Eiko be much help? Will Inuyasha abandon the group? Will Eiko continue to stare at Inuyasha with a I'm-not-home look?

All except the last one have no answer until the next the edition of:

Universal Fantasy V:1

--------------------------------------------------

Writers Thoughts:

Pikamoo

A few things must be addressed now.

In the FF9 Universe, this is what happened. Mist is gone except in few low places, and the area around the Iifa Tree is grassy and pretty. Nina is from the Tekken series and she is one of Mai's many generals. Midgar info will be revealed in issue 3, but remember this is a year after the turmoil Tifa was in, and as from the end of FF7 and what I know of FF7 AC, Midgar is now a metallic, yet grassy land which still has people living in it. Also, asterisks show actions the person does as well as (), which also show the narrator's speech (He's actually on a vacation in Midgar, and he'll be back with his mumbling next issue!)(This issues's dude was a replacement) Well that's it for now, but keep your eyes open for the next issue!
