(DARK) Chapter 3: FORBIDDEN LOVE

Narrator: Betha

As I slowly backed away from my emanate doom. A card dropped out of my deck, one lone green summoning card. I knew at this point nothing could match the power of that creature Anima. But ignorantly I picked it up. I stared at the card on the face of the card held the one winged angel himself, Sephiroth. Seeing the very imaged reminded me of where I got this card.

(Flashback)

" Betha you almost got yourself killed can't you summon anything stronger than the stupid heartless?" Thunda shouted as we both stood in the middle of the Thunderplains.

" Well excuse me for being so weak!" I shouted. Thunda merely peered at me as the rain touched my face. " It won't happen again I'm sorry"

" I know it won't when you find yourself in a bind like that again use this card… it's a guaranteed winner" He handed me the card of the one winged angel.

(Back)

" Say your prayers" Utada shouted sitting atop Anima as it got ready to strike.

" No…it can't end this way" I started. I didn't even get to tell him, I never got to tell Thunda how I really felt. I held the Sephiroth card up in the air and pinched on it feeding the card some of my dark aura. A beam shot into the air releasing a huge seal? It was full of hieroglyphs and prophecy.

" The same beam shot back down hitting the earth hard. IT was pretty cool, but the beam left a man he was down on one knee and had long silver hair. His sword was thin but as long as measuring tape. Suddenly he stood up slowly while looking at me with his glowing blue eyes. He turned around slowly to face Anima and Utada. He was my black knight in shadowy armor… He reached for his sword which he held in his left hand like it was sheathed. At that very moment an unknown song started playing and the sky turned from blue to red.

" Oh boy…" I heard the guy with the battle axe say from the far right. " UTADA WE HAVE TO GET OUTTA HERE NOW! SUMMON VALEFOR!" He screamed. Sephiroth disappeared into feathers before he could reach for a card and his weapon; Sephiroth's Masamune cut through his armor like tissue paper. Raithu went flying into the tall grass…

" Raithu!" Utada called. Utada turned her attention away from Sephiroth and towards me, " Anima show them our pain" she chanted. Anima's eye dropped low as it stared at me and began to glow.

"SEPHIROTH!" I screamed. With that a tall figure in a black cloak appeared infront of me and took my hand firmly. I had merely blinked and we were instantly somewhere else…

Sephiroth!

Sephiroth!

" Attack" I said. With that he disappeared and appeared right infront of Anima. HE IS SO COOL! He sliced Anima in the chest three times then jumped back while flapping his wing. Just as he touched the ground Sephiroth was blown back by a double cast of Firaga and Blizzaga. Sephiroth flew back even further and came to an immediate stop. He stood up slowly and then gestured his hand at Utada and Pain.

" Come on" Sephiroth said. His voice is so cool!

Sors immanis

Et inanis

Sors immanis

Et inanis

He then stopped his walks and started to actually run towards Anima. Anima screeched as Sephiroth ran knocking him off balance and Sephiroth went sliding into the dirt. Sephiroth jumped to his feet and tossed his Masamune high into the air beyond sight.

Veni, veni, venias,

Ne me mori facias

Veni, veni, venias,

Ne me mori facias

He raised his hands up to summon a great ball of red and black energy.

" He's summoning meteor, Anima it's time!" Utada said jumping off of Anima's head she ran back a distance. Suddenly the earth started shaking and a huge ring of power and pain covered both Sephiroth and Anima… Beyond this point I could see no longer for Anima drug Sephiroth under the pool of energy with it. When Sephiroth came back up he was browsed and bleeding half to death. Sephiroth then dropped the ball and grabbed his Masamune. The ball of energy slowly drifted to the earth… all I saw was Sephiroth rushing towards me and a huge white light following him.

When I awoke standing over me was a boy with thick blue jean shorts that went past his knees. He also wore a black jacket with his hood up. He wore no shirt underneath leaving his chest bare showing a silver dogtag.

" Betha how could you get so careless?" He asked. From the tone of his voice I could tell it was Thunda he is always so hard on me. " You should have summoned Sephiroth before hand… duh!" He said slapping me upside my head.

" Ow you jerk!" I said rubbing my head and looking around for any other survivors. Half of Mi hen Highroad was gone! There was a huge crater where Rin's inn used to be… The sky was blue again and everything was running the way it should across from me was Utada laid out and vulnerable for assault!

" I can kill her right now!" I said drawing a card suddenly my feet dropped me to ground.

" Your much to weak, besides your orders were to test them not exterminate them" Thunda said.

" err…" Utada mumbled getting up while rubbing her head.

" Haha… your orders? So you two are working for someone right?" Utada said wearily getting up.

" Yea, who are you two working for?" Raithu said standing up from the grass his wounds have been healed from Sephiroth's attack.

" Well well well… aren't we the enthusiastic ones" Thunda said. Thunda raised his hand and in his hand appeared a black keyblade with a red handle and no keychain.

" A…a keyblade?" Raithu said.

" Yes… if you've seen Ansem and Riku work this thing then I find no reason to explain" He then pulled out a heartless card and summoned a normal minion heartless.

" Ha… what do you think we're suppose to be scared of that!" Utada laughed.

" Like I said… I needn't explain" Thunda said. Thunda rammed his keyblade into the heartless, the minion then turned into an Invisible Heartless. He then twirled his Keyblade with so much swiftness and speed like a propeller on a helicopter it was cool… he's cool. Thunda rapped his arm around my waist and we both started to slowly sink into a portal of darkness. I grabbed my Sephiroth card which was still embedded into the ground then we started to slowly sink in.

We were now completely in the clear, in the dark abyss slowly going down and down like an elevator. I found myself against his broad chest like a baby. Held me tight and I have never felt so safe not even with my own parents.

" Betha…" He started.

" Yes… my love" I whispered.

" What'd you say?" He said.

" Oh…nothing" When I opened my eyes we were at Hollow Bastion.

" You should report what you faced so far…" Thunda said.

" Okay…uh Thunda" I said he started to slowly walk away then turn back on my question.

" What is it?" I answered alittle angry.

" Uh… do you… uh what do you look for in a girl?" I asked. He looked at me and then turned around facing his back to me.

" Betha… your fine just the way you are… don't change especially if it's for mine or anyone elses decisions" He said. " Now get back to work Felix is expecting you" He said walking off.

Does that mean he likes me?
