Chapter Three: The LeBlanc Syndicate
If you are reading this, then I must say you are reading something very wrong and disturbing. I've been having strange dreams, and they've been making me wonder: is any of this for real… or not? Well, I guess some of it comes from Wakka's por-
"What are you writing, Seymour?" Wakka asked while peering over his roomie's shoulder. Seymour quickly covered it up and glared at Wakka. "It's none of your business!"
"Sorry, brudda, just-,"
"Wakka, I'm going for a walk; fill me in on the orientation when I get back, 'kay?"
"Sure, but-,"
Seymour got out of the chair, grabbed a trench coat from a coat rack and walked out of the room.
(Seymour on a bus; Sad, bittersweet music playing; 8:47 P.M.)
Seymour fidgeted in his seat, glancing at some of the other occupants. There was a hobo mumbling to himself; a nerd playing Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories on his GameBoy Advance X; a big… um… er… 'gifted' young woman rubbing herself against another hobo, who was…
Seymour rolled his eyes and concentrated on the street. "Quite a spectacle; if I was a young, male human I would be-,"
"Quiet! Can't you talk about something less perverted?"
"What? There isn't anything else to talk about!"
Seymour was about to respond, but then he caught the hobo looking at him with an expression that stated: 'You're such a wacko! At least I mumble…'
The blue- haired, true main character sighed once more and stood up once the bus stopped; he got off and began to walk on the cold, concrete sidewalk.
He wrapped the coat around himself as the temperature was very low, and he stared up at an advertisement screen on a building. "Remember to drink your chocolate Ovaltine!"
As Seymour watched this, a gloved hand grabbed his shoulder and pulled him into a dark alleyway. "Well, Zell, you… Oh, who are you?" a tall, too slim character asked. "Come on Logos! He's just a strangely haired kid!" an extremely obese idiot exclaimed as he stepped out of the darkness.
Both of them wore purple uniforms with an intricate, black symbol in the center.
"I was just asking him his name, Ormi! Besides, my codename is Legos and yours is Porky!" The fat one laughed. "You can ask him his name when we get back to the hideout; come on kid."
Seymour, being somewhat amused by this, decided to follow the two down several more alleyways and into a small, Asian restaurant. They approached the cash register and pressed a few buttons, causing the floor to open and reveal a stairway.
Before they descended it though, the door suddenly opened.
"Um, pizza here, for a Miss LeBlanc!"
Logos sighed in annoyance and walked over to the pizza delivery boy and took the pizza from his hand. "How much?" The delivery boy looked up and took off his Luca's Number One Pepperoni! Hat and thought for a moment. Seymour was utterly shocked by the delivery boy. He seemed to be the same age as Tidus, wore the same parka- only red-, and had the same, except a little shorter, dirty blonde hair. He was wearing a pair of beige cargo pants and had on some sneakers.
"9:50, I think… Oh, 'name's Shuyin; Chappu couldn't make it for you guys, so I came as a substitute; it's my first day you know…"
Logos nodded and grabbed Shuyin's arm. "Hold on! Lady LeBlanc doesn't like having her pizza delivered late! It's most likely cold by now, so… you have some answering to do."
Ormi grasped Shuyin by the shoulders and led him down the staircase; Seymour and Logos followed.
They entered a large, oriental chamber. There were many different corridors and hallways branching off to the sides, but there was one main hallway… and they went down that one.
Many women and men in kimonos scurried around, doing different tasks. Seymour watched them, while Shuyin was a tad bewildered.
"Hey, sorry… it's my first day! People make mistakes!"
"Yes, but people are smart enough to not make mistakes with Lady LeBlanc!"
"Oh…"
They walked through a great doorway with two golden dragon statues on each side. Here was a heavy aroma in the next chamber; a television was on in one corner and there was a small puppy darting around. A woman sat in the center of the room, reading. She had her blonde hair pinned up and wore a long purple dress. She held the magazine with one hand while fanning herself, with an oriental fan, with the other.
"Why are you two imbeciles late? Did you find Zell? Who're these two?"
"We were unable to find Zell, milady, but we did get your pizza, even though it's half an hour late; the blonde one was responsible for that. The blue- haired one is a guest."
The lady stood up, placing both the fan and magazine down. "Well, now, there are a few things we must get straight, first-,"
There were several screams suddenly, and the sound of heavy gunfire. After a few moments, a young woman with long brown hair stepped into the room. She wore a blue dress and two other men walked up beside her.
"Time's up, LeBlanc; Lord K is not happy with your acquirement of the Shadow Ruby." Seymour thought he vaguely remembered the girl, like from high school. Shuyin seemed to be in shock; Seymour betted it was because of the girl's beauty.
LeBlanc stepped back. "Give us some more time, I-,"
"No; open fire," the girl calmly stated. The two men unleashed a barrage of bullets, but LeBlanc, Logos, and Ormi were gone in a puff of smoke.
One bullet slammed into Seymour's hair, lodging itself into the blue mess. "Holy moley!" Shuyin cried as one of the men grabbed him.
"Put them in the truck; Lord K will find a suitable judgment. She then walked out of the room, leaving the other man to knock Seymour unconscious with the blunt end of his rifle.
(Yeah, crappy chapter, but what can I say?)
