Author's Notes: Ah, is evil. It took out some marks in the last chapter. Eek, if you know how I can fix this please, PLEASE, tell me. If you do, you get cookies. Tons and tons of cookies! Oh don't worry there's no Jr./Matthews or KOS-MOS/Ziggy in this fic if you're wondering. Because that would be very weird. Hm, ½ + of my Xenosaga Ep. II LE guide's pages fell out…oo
Disclaimer: I don't own the Xenosaga/Xenogears franchise. They all belong to Namco and Monolith Soft. what a boring disclaimer…I own my computer though, hahaha!
Another Side, Another Story
Chapter Two: The Chapter with a Lot of Screaming
"Soooo…Tell us EXACTLY, why we're here in this forest. Or island. Or something." Shion said with a vein appearing over her forehead as she sat down on one of the rocks around her. Ah, she was getting mad. But then, so was everyone else at Jr. It was pretty much his fault that they crashed in the middle of a forest with no current communication from the outside world.
"Well it all happened like this…" Jr. said with his eyes closed. Everyone, except KOS-MOS and Ziggy as usual, was giving glares of doom at him. Heck, he was even too scared to budge from his current location, fearing the assault of the people around him. "After you guys went off to sleep or whatever again, we…"
Everyone, except Jr. and KOS-MOS (again), was tired from Jr. rushing them to get to the Elsa, their backs hurting about six times more than before. He explained that there was a meeting to be held at the Durandal, so while on the way there, everyone could rest in the guest rooms. KOS-MOS and Ziggy being or partially "machines", didn't require any more rest so they followed Jr. to the Elsa Bridge. There, they found the red-haired U.R.T.V. squabbling with Captain Matthews about going to the Durandal at the Elsa's current condition.
"But, Little Master! The engine is still damaged from the falling impact back at the Stronghold!" Matthews said, using his hands to exaggerate his words.
"When I say we go, WE GO." Bonbons and books are waiting for me! BONBONS AND BOOKS!" Jr. shouted at the shaking Captain. He'd seen the Little Master angry before at other people who dared to defy him when he's in insane/mad mode. They all ended up broke, bald, and left in their underwears.
"OK! We'll go! We'll go!" Matthews replied. Damn, if the engine fails, there's going to be even more debts to pay. He turned around and kicked Hammer in the back of his head. "What the hell are you waiting for ya moron! I said, we'll go! Dammit, start the engine already!"
"Captain," Hammer moaned while rubbing the back of his head. "Are you sure about this I mean the engine will most likely…"
"JUST DO IT!" Matthews shouted, kicking Hammer again. Hammer started the engine and contacted the Space Port they were ready for lift off. Tony gripped the controls on his sides. It was time to lift off again! Thankfully, this one would be safer than the last trip they had. He loved the excitement of "riding the waves" and feeling it, but the last trip was an-almost-guaranteed-ticket-to-Heaven. The ship started rocking as it prepared for lift off. Tony pushed the controls upward and they ascended into the troposphere, then the stratosphere, and then…Oops, it was time for fate to unveil its evil, evil plan. The Elsa's engine broke down right before a few inches away from the mesosphere and the ship began to descend down. Sadly, they would descend into a far, far, uncharted forest somewhere in the isolated areas of Second Miltia.
"AHHH!" Everyone on the bridge, except KOSy and Ziggy again, screamed their lungs out. The ship rocked uncontrollably as the pressure gathered around it. Their ears were hurting from the pressure as well, you'd have thought by this day and age they would have something to prevent air pressure…
"OH MY GOD! WE'RE GOING TO CRASH!" Allen screamed as he entered the bridge. Matthews and Jr. gave him a you-just-noticed glare as he dashed to his panel.
"Allen! Where are we landing!" Tony shouted.
"I don't know! It- it seems we're about to crash land in one of the Isolated Areas of Second Miltia! Land is approximately thirty yards away! You can land there, Tony." Allen replied. Tony nodded and maneuvered the Elsa as much as he could without the engine. It was a rough but successful landing, looks like fate isn't as evil to them as they thought. The ship crashed into a series of trees as it hit the ground until finally stopping.
"Whew, looks l-like we we're able to land," Matthews said after a minute of silence. He shook all over like the rest of the people on the bridge, and for the billionth time except KOS-MOS and Ziggy. "I think that's the worst of it." Nope, sadly you're dead wrong. It was just the beginning. The lights began to flicker out madly until…Bam, it turned off completely.
"Crap! NOT NOW! DAMMIT!" Jr. screamed while tears poured out of his face. Matthews, Tony, Hammer, and Allen all got off from their seat and tended to the other business at hand. Hammer went to check up on the ship's conditions, Tony went off to find some tools for repairs, and Allen went off to stir the others from their rest. And Matthews went to "comfort" the Little Master, maybe he could get something out of it if he cheered him up.
"Y-you aren't getting anything out of this, Matthews! MY BONBONS AND BOOKS! Waahh!" Jr. screamed as more tears poured from his face.
'Aww, darn it.' Matthews thought.
Finally actually saying something in this chapter, KOS-MOS blurted out loud, "My system says that it is best to gather everyone outside immediately for safety purposes. There is a 99.99999 percent chance that the Elsa will take safety precautions and will therefore shut every exit inside the ship, trapping us if we don't get out in time."
It took a minute for Jr. and Matthews to realize what she said and when they did, they screamed while hugging each other, "AHH! We're going to be trapped!"
Ziggy shook his head. "KOS-MOS, how much time do we have to escape the Elsa?"
"Approximately fifteen minutes, forty-seconds and counting."
"OK, let's go." The blonde cyborg said while pushing the Captain and Jr. outside of the bridge and heading to everyone else to warn them.
"Chief, MOMO, chaos, Jin!" Allen shouted. Everyone sleepily opened their eyes from their beds as they groaned. It was just Allen, probably just something unimportant…
"It's important! We crashed into the Isolated Area of Second Miltia!" He shouted again. Everyone's eyes snapped open.
"What?" Jin said. "WE'RE in the ISOLATED AREA?" The Isolated Area was basically and uncharted region filled with wildlife, if any at all, and disrupts the flow of electricity in the region.
"Then that means…" Shion whispered. "We're stuck here! Ahhhh!" There sure is a lot of screaming going on…
Just then, Jr. and co entered the cabin room with Tony and Hammer. "We have to get out of here soon! The ship will lock all exits in about thirteen minutes!"
Even more screams flooded the room as they forgot about the back pain engulfing them and rushed out to the exits pushing each other through until Jr. was the last one to get off the ship.
"I see…" MOMO whispered. "Well, what are we going to do now? I mean, all the food and drinks were inside the Elsa." Everyone smacked their head; it only took three minutes for two people to get food and drinks from the diner. And they would still have enough time to escape.
"No use crying over spilled milk, let's just find something we can eat or drink. Maybe even people." chaos said as he stood up from his rock seat. Everyone nodded in agreement. "We should split up into two and meet back here in about two hours."
Jr. grinned, if he can't get his bonbons and books, he could get something else…Ahem, no not that you perverts. "MOMO, want to come with me?" MOMO smiled. She was still upset with him because they're stuck on this place, but she couldn't help but agreeing to ALMOST everything he says.
"Are you sure, MOMO?" Ziggy asked from behind.
"Yes, I'm sure." She replied with a large grin on her face.
"Alright, Jr. and MOMO is one party. How about coming with me, KOS-MOS? I can show you many things that's probably not in your data." chaos asked. Shion looked at the two and went over to KOS-MOS, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"You should go! It would be nice for you to spend time with chaos and learn new things I haven't added to your data, if any. Heehee." Shion giggled.
"My systems suggest it as well, so I shall go and accompany chaos in salvaging food for the company." The android said emotionlessly and walked next to chaos.
"Chief, can- I go with you?" Allen murmured. Shion turned around to face him and raised an eyebrow.
"Huh, what was that?"
"I mean, can I go with you…?" Allen said, this time louder and clearer.
"Uh, sure." Shion shrugged. Well it's better than the others left…
'Score!' Allen screamed mentally. He started to jump around excitedly unnoticed by Shion and the rest.
"Tony, are you coming with me?" Hammer asked. Tony just nodded, he didn't really care since the hot girls were already taken…Or the hot girl. KOS-MOS was an android and MOMO was too young.
"Ya moron, I'm comin' with ya too!" Matthews shouted as he slapped Hammer on the back of his head.
"Well it looks like you and I are the only ones left, Ziggy." Jin grinned. Shion raised her eyebrow again, why the heck does he always have that grin? It seemed as if he were going to do something "bad and wonderful" whenever he did that.
"So it's all set, let's go. Bye everyone!" chaos exclaimed happily as he and KOS-MOS headed off like the rest. The exit of the Elsa was still open, for there was still three minutes left before the ship was on lockdown. And came out of it were five dark droids, the Professor, and Assistant Scott.
"How could they forget about us!" The Professor exclaimed. "Agh! They will pay!"
"How much?" Assistant Scott asked.
"..." The Professor ignored this comment and just stood there, thinking of a plan for revenge. After a few minutes of thinking he finally found it! Ahahahaha, this was going to be very sweet. He motioned the dark droids and Assistant Scott near him and he told them of his plan.
Longer this time, yay, but not as funny…I think. I'll have the next chapter up soon. And you'll find out the prof's evil plan soon, heheh. Anyone who's played and beaten XSII should know what I'm talking about…um, sorta. I haven't gotten Erde Kaiser Fury yet though…( Damn that wraith virus. I also put chaos and KOS-MOS, Jr. and MOMO, and finally Shion and Allen together so they have some time together. Heheh. Ow, my back it huuurtss…Anyway, more reviews would help please. 'kay thanks!
