=~The Chaos Realms: 2- Oblivion's Dragon ~=
Cheesy Overvoice: Last time on The Chaos Realms…
"Are you ready, Bridge? You goin' to Sydney or not?!" Bridget's mother yelled down the hallway.
"Holy...it's ten! C'mon, Jim...we'd better go!" Bridget said. Her brother was going to drive them down to station to catch a train to Sydney once they'd picked Mark up.
***
"Bridge...?"
"Must....resist...urge...to...stalk....PIGEONS!" Bridget ripped her gaze from the birds and stared in the opposite direction.
***
"This looks a lot like the Phantom Train!! Maybe we're dead..."
"Bridge." Mark started.
"Yes?"
"You restarted FF6, didn't you?"
"Yyyyyep!"
***
....There was only one was to describe what was in that carriage.
GHOSTS.
***
They were standing in the middle of what looked like had been a great city. Now it was all ruins. The place gave an atmosphere of death and destruction. The sky was bleak and grey, and lightning crackled overhead. The sifted though the rubble, wondering where the hell they were.
***
She looked up, and almost fell over in shock.
"No way..." She whispered.
"You're...you're...a character from a game!!"
Cheesy Overvoice: Who is this character? Just where are Bridget and Mark? Find out now on…The Chaos Realms!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Vivi blinked and said simply, "Huh?"
"Yeah, you're a character from a video game! Final Fantasy IX! What the hell are you doing here?" Bridget said.
"Video…game? What's that? And what's a final fantasy nine? If it's a final fantasy, you can't have more than one! You're not making any sense!" Vivi asked.
"Uhhh…"
"Biddett, Vivi doesn't know about video games. He's from Gaia, they don't have video games there!" Mark told her.
Vivi looked shocked. "H-how do you know about Gaia? And how'd you know my name?"
"It's pretty confusing, don't worry about it…" Bridge told him.
"O-okay…" Vivi sounded petrified of us.
"Geez, Vivi, how long does it take to find a couple of chocobos up here?" A voice called from somewhere behind Vivi. From behind a broken arch, out came a familiar-looking thief. Zidane!
"Huh? Whoa! Newcomers, eh? Hi, name's Zidane." Zidane greeted.
"You could've told me…" He then whispered to Vivi.
"Um, hi." Bridget replied awkwardly.
"Yeah, hi!" Mark couldn't believe himself either.
"The chocobos are here, by the way…" Bridget added, putting her arm around the chocobo's neck, grinning stupidly.
"Okay then! Back under we go!" Zidane motioned for them to follow.
"Under? Under what?" Mark asked.
"Under the ground. You don't wanna be caught up here, trust me…" Zidane informed.
"Huh." Mark glanced around worriedly, then followed.
Along the way, Zidane and Vivi began to explain things.
***
"Okay. Lemme get this straight. This is the world known as Drinnae. But some big evil dude called Tiroth showed up and plunged the world into darkness because he wanted to trap all you guys in here because he hates you." Bridget said.
Not just the FFIX guys though. Bridget thought. Just about every Final Fantasy character, with other RPG characters too!
"Yeah." Vivi replied.
"Drinnae was peaceful, until Tiroth showed up. He's basically destroyed everything, and everyone. Those who remain are scared crapless, and have nothing left to live for. Well, until you all got transported here. Now you've made up a kind of faction against him, and you're helping people rebuild. Well, you're going to, once you go and kick that big meanie's ass!" Bridget puffed, barely spacing the words apart.
"Yeah…something along those lines." Zidane replied, trying to understand what Bridget had just said. Zidane paused. He stooped down, and pulled at a heavy slab of stone.
"C'moooon…stupid…piece of..." Zidane puffed, in between strains of trying to pull the heavy piece of stone. He stopped then mumbled something under his breath.
"Why…am...I pulling this piece of crap when I have CHOCOBOS!" Zidane whistled, and nothing happened.
"And why do they only answer to Vivi? It's really annoying…Stupid, big, fluffy, yellow…" Zidane trailed off into more mumbling.
Vivi heard Zidane, and whistled. In a split second, three giant birds surrounded them. He pointed to the slab, and the chocobos gave it an almighty kick, and then jumped around, as if it had hurt its foot…
"Oh you stupid..." Vivi grumbled. He zapped the chocobo on the rear, which sent it into hysterics like someone had given it a Dead Pepper. It dislodged the slab of stone and Vivi grumbled away and disappeared under the hole that it hid underneath.
"Vivi!" Zidane called, shocked. "That's not like you!"
"Try having a…" Vivi's words muffled out because he went too far underground.
"Huhhh…" Mark 'Huh'ed.
Something growled nearby. Bridget jumped, and quickly ushered the chocobos underground.
"What…was that?" She asked Zidane tentatively.
"Get. Now. Go. Monsters." He tried pushing Biddett towards the hole. But she was so paralysed by fear that she wouldn't move. Mark made a dash for it and was swallowed by the hole.
WHOOSH! Something flew past Bridget's shoulder, and she jumped and squealed in terror. For now that stood in front of her was a wolf-like creature.
She glanced to her left and spotted a Goblin. "Here," Zidane handed Bridget something. A dagger!
"You…want me to fight them?" She took the weapon with a shaking hand.
"Well, what else are you going to do? Don't worry too much though. You have me!" And he brought out a thief sword and readied himself for battle.
Suddenly, everything went black.
"AHH! WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" Bridget yelled. Two seconds later, the world came back, but things looked different. If she was correct, she was now in a battle screen!
Yikes! She thought, panicked. I'm in my very first battle! AHH!
"Huh? What are you talking about? Nothing happened!" Zidane told her.
"WAIT!" Mark suddenly appeared. "I'm not gonna leave you to these fiends!"
"Aww…how sweet." Zidane commented. "Well, catch!" He threw Mark another thief sword.
And with that, we turned to face the monsters. Zidane was the first to attack. Bridget suddenly jumped back when she saw something on impact. The numbers 1356 appeared above the wolf…in other words, you could actually see how much the attack did!
"Freaky…" She muttered.
Bridget took her turn, and ran up and slashed the wolf. 82 appeared.
"Awww…"
Zidane went in for one last attack, and did away with the wolf. Bridget turned and faced the Goblin. She laughed. "HAHAH! I remember you guys! You're piss-weak!" She taunted.
The Goblin attacked her. 689 flashed over her. "OW! Okay,okay! I take it baaack…" She whined.
"You're pathetic, Biddett! You're getting beaten by a goblin!" Mark teased.
Bridge grumbled to herself. She glanced over at her friend, wondering why he hadn't attacked it yet. He could barely hold Zidane's thief sword up!
"You're no better! You can't even hold your weapon!"
"Shuddap! I'd like to see you lift this thing! How the hell do you do it, Zidane?"
"Now's not the best time to fight, you know!" Was all that the thief said.
They turned their gazes back to the fight. The Goblin turned around, and then looked wildly around it in panic. Then it fled.
"Uhh… did we win?" Mark asked.
"Ohhh…crap." Zidane hissed.
"Say hello to Tiroth's left hand….uhh… dragon, Arkna!" A familiar voice greeted. Bridget turned around to find a red-haired man holding a blitzball. Yes, it was Wakka!
And right on cue, a black hole opened up on the field. It was monstrous! Bridget could feel dread and despair creeping into her body, as if she was floating around in there just by staring at it. It created a strong vortex and pieces of debris from nearby ruins were tossed high into the air.
A large, black clawed leg pushed through the dark rip. It found the ground, and was followed by another midnight-black leg. The hole grew steadily larger; swallowing up the sky like a bushfire burns the gum forests. A head came through. A black dragon's head. Its eyes were an icy blue, and as they bored into you, you could feel your whole body growing numb.
Arkna's armoured body slid out of the oblivion, covered in huge spikes. Its huge powerful hind legs finally came out and trailing behind, a long lengthy tail, that ended up in a pair of destructive-looking spikes.
And then, the portal closed. It seemed nothing had even happened. Except for the huge gigantic black dragon now that stood in front of Bridget and Mark.
"Whoa…" Bridget breathed.
Arkna opened its mouth and let out with the most bone-chilling, mind numbing, terrible roar that ripped at your heart and left your brain in the highest state of confusion and fear. It rolled across the ruins and finally died off. Then, Arkna struck a pose. A fighting stance.
"We're…going to…fight…that? No way! I don't wanna die!" Mark shrieked.
"Don't worry, ya? Me n Zidane have been through much worse things. You think this guy's scary? You should've seen Sin, ya?" Wakka comforted him.
"Or Necron." Zidane added.
Bringing the battle to a start, Zidane swiftly attacked, followed by a blitzball from Wakka. Mark still couldn't bear the weight of his thief sword, and Bridget was on the verge of swapping weapons around when the hellish dragon moved. It lashed out with its tail, sending everyone sprawling.
Zidane and Wakka recovered from the attack quickly, springing to their feet. Zidane helped Bridget to her feet, and Bridget stumbled about weakly. She wasn't as used to battles as the game characters and being pitted against this monster couldn't be any good.
Zidane and Wakka moved into another barrage of attacks, while Bridget looked for Mark. She found him and leant him a hand in regaining his feet.
Arkna instinctively took to the weakest of the group. Or at least the one that couldn't attack. Mark.
It pounced upon him, sending Bridget flying. It began to slash at him mercilessly.
Bridget stumbled up and watched her friend being tossed about like a rag doll. And she didn't like it one bit.
"HEY!" She cried. "PICK ON SOMEONE ELSE FOR A CHANGE!!!" She charged forward, and before Wakka or Zidane could stop her, she slashed feebly at his armoured body.
1 appeared. Arkna glanced backwards and Bridget and knocked her easily away with its foot. She staggered up doggedly and watched her friend once again endure another savage attack from the black brute.
"Leave…" She hissed. "LEAVE HIM THE HELL ALONE!!!!!" Bridget screamed. She picked up her dagger and did the only thing her battered body could let herself do. She picked it up, and aimed for Arkna's fierce icy-blue eye. She threw it with all that she had left.
99999.
"Whoa!" Wakka yelled. "That's a lot of damage for someone levelled so low!"
"What a Trance!" Zidane added.
Arkna screamed in a horrible, twisted draconic voice. The portal opened once again and the wounded Arkna fled through it.
Bridget smiled faintly and collapsed.
"Bridge!" Mark scrambled up, paying no attention to his own wounds and scurried over to his friend.
"She'll be fine." Wakka told him as he approached. "Just worn out."
"We should head back to HQ then." Zidane said. He walked over and grabbed Bridget's unconscious body and carried her, grinning almost evilly.
"Thank God that's over…" Mark muttered to himself as she followed along. The three quickly slipped down the hole towards the HQ.
Mark watched as Wakka closed it up again, by pulling the piece of rock back over the hole. He turned around and Mark was greeted by a tunnel lit softly by torches, burning brightly on the wall of the tunnel.
