Hi again. It's kinda sad that only my sister and her boyfriend have reviewed this but that's probably cuz this is only the second chapter. Oh well anyway here's the next chapter hope you enjoy!
Traverse Town
Landing…
Everyone had landed safely outside the gate of Traverse Town. The town was rather foggy and as they pushed the open the gate, they walked in a line looking as though they were some kind of warrior mob.
"Is everyone alright?" Yuffie asked.
"Everyone's all accounted for and alive unless I somehow have mysteriously misplaced someone…or they're the walking dead but I doubt that!" Tidus replied.
"…. Right" Yuffie said with a weird face on. As they were walking, Constantine noticed blood trickling down Seperoith's head.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
"What?" Seperoith asked, obviously not noticing. Constantine then huffed and pointed at his head. He looked at her puzzled then lifted his hand to his head, wincing a little, then brought his hand back to look at it. It had blood on it.
"Oh. Ah it's just a scratch. Nothing serious."
"Nooo, no. You'd better let me take care of that." She lifted her hand over his head and then she cast a cure spell. As she did she asked, "So what happened? It was bleeding pretty bad to be 'nothing serious'."
"I probably just hit it when we ran into the turbulence coming in. Obviously."
"You're such a smart ass!" she huffed. "Are you okay? Is it better now?"
He laughed and said, "Yes. That's fine. Why so worried?"
Constantine blushed and stumbled over her words.
"I wasn't!" she yelled then rolled her eyes.
"You were just bleeding a lot and it's my obligation as a teammate to..well… take care of you or whatever!" she yelled flustered.
"Yea. Okay. Just keep walking." Seperoith said in a sing song voice. Constantine grunted.
"So what if I was worried about you! Is that not aloud? I'm not supposed to worry about you or anyone when hurt?" she sounded kind of hurt in a way. Seperoith thought for a moment then said, "Fine, then I promise to protect you when you're in trouble, kay?"
Constantine thought for a moment then said happily with a smile, "Deal!"
"You two come here and listen up. We have work to do. Con go with Rinoa and stock up on supplies. Seperoith. You'll just stay with us and look out for anything suspicious." Squall barked his orders.
"Suspicious? What isn't suspicious?" Wakka asked out loud but only loud enough for Seperoith to hear.
"Well I don't think anything could be more suspicious than that." He said pointing over at Constantine and Rinoa giggling and jumping over to the supply store. Seperoith just smiled and laughed a little and walked away.
"So what do you need?" Lewy, one of the three duck brothers, asked.
"Hmmm, lets see." Con then started fumbling off items while Rinoa shook her head at her liveliness and continued to stare out the window at one particular person.
"…and 300…no 250…yea! 250 potions and 300 phoenixes and 200 hi-potions and 300 eithers and, hmmm Rin what else do we need?" she asked while Lewy just stared at her dazed.
"I think you got everything Con!" Rinoa laughed.
"That's…that's a lot of munny!" Lewy rambled.
"I know." She said.
"But how are you gonna pay!"
"Is this enough, Rin come here!" Rinoa and Constantine then put three bags full of munny on the counter.
"That'll be enough. I think?" Lewy said.
"Great!" Rinoa exasperated. "Let's go!"
"Hey we're back!" Constantine yelled.
"Would you shush before you attract something! Jeez!" Aerieth yelled. She was, like everyone, on edge.
"Attract something? Attract what?" she said under her breath looking around.
"Sorry." She said with a pouty face, as she walked up.
"What took so long?" Daisy asked with Red and Pluto by her side.
"I got a lot so it would last kay?" Constantine said. Her and Rinoa then started to evenly divide everything among the group until it was all split.
"Everyone set?" Vincent asked.
" Well what in the fuck does it look like to you?" Cid remarked, looking for a match.
"Oh shush and be nice!" Kairi said.
"Okay. Basically, we're just going to patrol the districts and look out for anything…." "Shhh." Siefer was cut off by Quistis and Barrett looking around confused.
"What?" he asked.
"Shhh! Did you see that? I don't think we're going to have to search. They found us.? She said.
They all suddenly became very aware of their surroundings and, if even possible, were more on edge.
"We need our magic defense and backup surrounding the four corners. Aerieth, Constantine, Edea, and Rinoa. Can you handle it?" Cloud said.
"Of course!" they all said.
"Yal' know what to do. Now we just have to wait." He said.
Constantine were now very aware as they circled the area. Rinoa and Edea went the other way. The group was put together with a sorceress blocking each entrance at four corners, Aerieth and Constantine being the strongest and Edea and Rinoa being backup. "Riku. See anything?" Yuffie asked.
"No. Nothing. Nothing at all. Something's out of place here." He said.
Just as he finished speaking Axel, Vixen, and Larxene walked out of the shadows with an entire army of Heartless surrounding everywhere.
"They're a lot bigger than usual. This might be a little harder. However I don't know about you guys but I smell a trap." Sora finally spoke up.
"Oh look. The whole gang is back together. Makes me wanna cry… or gag." Axel said, his red hair vibrant as ever.
"Oh how sweet! Got a little sugar with that poison?" Constantine said smirking.
"Well as much as I'm enjoying this little reunion pep talk; we've got a job to do. Let's go." Larxene piped in.
"Suit it yourself!" Sora yelled charging.
As they proceeded to move closer, Aerieth and Constantine worked together at combining there magic, mainly Constantine's personal favorite, fire and water, wiping out most of the Heartless. As Axel approached Constantine, she began to panic a little.
'What's wrong with me! Keep it together girl!' She thought as she smacked her head.
"Are you okay?" Aerieth asked concerned.
"Yea. Yea I'm fine. You take dumb I'll take dumber!" She said pointing towards Axel and Vixen with a grin. Axel now approached even closer.
"Stay back or else!" she yelled out.
"Oh I'm petrified! You'll have to do better than that. Now if you don't mind I have a job to do, like we said, and that's you." He said pointing to Aerieth as well.
"Huh?" Con didn't have time to answer her question. Constantine now approached Axel with her heel knives out and ready. She proceeded as did he. She put her hand up in a menacing, forceful way, and sent a powerful force of magic at him, knocking him of his feet and a few feet back.
"What's the matter? Already tripping over little old me?" she asked sarcastically. He smirked then said, "Don't flatter yourself. You aren't that charming, or powerful. For example…" He then was on his feet so fast and in front of her, she barely had time to be scared or surprised. In a frenzy of not wanting to get hit first, she leaned down and hooked her leg in one strong sweeping motion at his face. As she did though, he simply grabbed her leg and threw her into a nearby wall a few feet up; then let her just slide down.
"CONSTANTINE!" Seperoith yelled and tried to get to her.
"Shush." Axel said and threw Seperoith out of the way kind of like how Constantine did to him.
"Games are over now. Vixen, Larxene! Time to go!" he yelled then grabbed Constantine. She struggled to break free and fight back, but then he wrapped his arm around her waist then the other around her shoulders onto her neck. He whispered in her ear then cast some kind of numbing spell. Her eyes were instantly widened in shock and terror as she fell limp in his arms and saw Aerieth already knocked out in Vixen's arms. She instantly felt nauseated in horror knowing not what was going to happen but know that she had lost the fight. All she could seem to see was Seperoith's Metsemune and his horror-struck face as Axel disappeared in the shadows with her broken in his arms. All she could think was, 'Help!' Then she quietly whispered, "Help me. Please." As she watched Seperoith's face fade from her vision.
