Final Aftermath (IX)
By: The Gifted Ten
Prologue
There was a blinding light, a deafening explosion. Only two persons
were there to experience this cataclysmic event. One was thought dead
by his friends; the other had none-save, perhaps, the one who'd stayed
behind to comfort him as he lay dying.
However, just before the blast, the elder of the two, the one hovering
above death, looked into his younger "brother's" eyes and saw all the
memories, and emotions, and life that filled him, and at that moment,
he knew that he didn't want his little brother to die. He summoned up
all the strength and mana reserve he had left in him and began to
concentrate on teleporting his brother to a safe place-any place-away
from the aftermath of his own hatred.
He'd almost finished concentrating his power when his brother realized
what it was he was doing.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
"I..I'm getting you out of here."
"Not without you, you're not!"
"Jitan..don't argue. I-," he turned his head and began coughing, a
few drops of blood escaping his lips.
"Kuja-"
There came a rumbling from beneath them. The earth began to shake,
and they could feel the change in the air around them as matter began
to condense.
Kuja's eyes shot open and his mind frantically groped around for the
magic he'd accumulated. There! He had it. Now to just teleport
Jitan away in time...
His eyes found his little brother's and they locked onto them as he
began to channel his energy through his little brother. As Jitan's
body started to waver, Kuja transferred the last bit of energy to the
spell and shuddered with fatigue. Jitan had just a single moment to
look into his brother's eyes again before he suddenly grasped Kuja's
bruised forearm the second before everything stopped-or rather,
happened..
A/N-I know it's short, but this was written to suck the reader into
the story (like when you read the back of a book). Other chapters are
available. Go and read them! Oh, and in case you were wondering why
Zidane's name changed..well, it didn't. Jitan is his original
Japanese name; it was later changed to Zidane to sound more "American"
I guess.
