Project Machina fuse: failed
Kiki emerged from the chamber into the sunlight. She shaded her eyes from it hastily. She hadn't seen the sun in a year, and she didn't think that her eyes would get used to it anytime soon. She stretched out her arms, but that wasn't the only thing that stretched. Kiki screeched to see that she had a pair of machine wings fused to her back. She looked down to see a long, about 10 ft. machine tail also.
"Fryd rybbahat du sa?!" she screamed as loud as she could in al bhed. "What happened to me?!"
"Drec ech'd nekrd!"
"This isn't right!"
Now Kiki noticed that she wasn't free, but inside of a glass dome-like cage. It was huge, but she didn't care how large it was. It would never be freedom to her. She saw her godfather across the dome, what she didn't know was that he was outside of it and she flew right into the glass. Literally flew, which surprised her, she lay in shock on the ground for a little before standing. She was holding her head with her hand because she had bruised it.
She looked at her uncle, but he just laughed. Kiki gave him a puzzled look, but all he did was press a button that opened a door right next to the one that Kiki had come out of. A fiend came charging out after Kiki. She screeched and flew up into the air. She had little practice fighting fiends at the temple. She didn't really need to, there were others that could do the job. Now, Kiki was forced to face this feind, but the thing is, this fiend couldn't fly. Easy enough, thought Kiki. Though then she realized she had no weapon with her. What is he thinking!? Is he TRYING to get me killed?
She became so angry that her tail began to flick back and forth. It accidentally whipped her leg and she gasped in pain. Wait, that's it! She realized. She dive-bombed down at the fiend, who was pretty shocked that she could fly in the first place, and she whipped it with her long tail. So this is what it's for. I must be some kind of weapon, she started to realize. This was exactly what she was.
When her godfather heard about this girl he was supposed to take care because of some stupid promise he had made to her father years ago, he wasn't very happy. He thought, How can I take care of a child as well as myself and still have time for my experiments? Then his twisted mind started to get to thinking, and by the time he had gotten to the temple to take Kiki away, he was taking her in with open arms. Now Kiki new why.
The angrier she got, the harder she would hit the fiend. Finally it gave up, bursting into small orbs of light, heading to the far-plain. Kiki settled down on the ground. She turned to see her godfather who wasn't smiling. I must have failed, she thought. But why? How could he do this to me? How could I have failed? I killed the fiend... She walked back over to where her godfather was and stared at him.
"You failed!" he yelled in plain English. He wasn't an al bhed and didn't really like them either. "You took to long to attack! If the fiend could of flown, it would be feeding on your flesh right now! You leave tomorrow!"
"You can't just do this to me and kick me out!" she said in english so he would understand her.
"I sure can! If you didn't know, your 17 now. Plenty old enough to take care of yourself! Go back to your al bhed friends. I'm sure that they will take you in, they're weird enough already."
"We are not weird! We don't fuse people with machine just to make weapons! That's just insane!" Kiki yelled now enraged.
"Well I don't care! You leave tomorrow and that's final!"
He pressed another button on his remote and a large metal plate came over the glass dome, blocking out the sun. Kiki pounded on the glass, but it was no use. He probably couldn't here her anyway. She didn't know what to do other than wait for the next day. She was happy though that she was getting out of here. She couldn't believe that it had been a year already. I hope that they will let me back at the temple. I wonder it gippal and rikku will recognize me. This isn't good...
The front door slammed behind Kiki. She was finally free again, but looking behind her she saw the large wings and became sad again. What if they think that I'm a fiend? What will I do? So many thoughts were running through her head. Now she didn't care though. She just wanted to get away from this evil, dark place and be gone forever.
She spread out her wings. "huf du vmo, un du fymg?" she asked herself.
"now to fly, or to walk?"
She thought flying instantly. She started off into the sky, and quite frankly, she felt good. These wings might just come in handy, she thought. She liked the way that the wind felt on her face and how the clouds felt wispy and cool against her skin. She wasn't too smooth at flying yet, but she was getting there. Finally, she noticed that she had no clue where she was going.
She looked down at the ground to see where she was. She was flying over the ocean. she saw a small island in the distance. I must be near besaid island, she thought to herself. I wonder if Lulu and Wakka will recocnize me there! She flew a little bit faster, excited about the thought of seeing somebody that she new, or new her. She hoped that they wouldn't freak out. Then she looked at herself and figured that they would freak out about seeing a flying girl who resembles a girl that they thought they new, but now she has a gigantic tail and machina wings.
"drec sekrd pa y bnupmas," she mumbled under her breath
"this might be a problem,"
Kiki swooped down to the island and landed on the beach. She looked around and saw that nobody was around. So far so good, she thought. It was better that nobody saw her yet. They might attack her or something, then she realized that she was coming to the village by the road that had all of the fiends on it. Great, they'll think I'm some sort of fiend attacking the village and they'll come out full force attacking me with all sorts of fun sharp weapons, she thought. She sighed, but walked on anyway.
Luckily for her, she wasn't being attacked by fiends on the open road. Of course she saw them, but they figured that she was one of them and they didn't want to mess with a tail that size. Kiki optimistically decided that it was good that she wasn't being attacked, though she might not mind it if they did, just so she could feel more human.
She found herself standing at the ledge above the village looking down with slightly blurry eyes. Partly for the sun and partly because she had a few tears in her eyes for seeing something so beautiful as a free town. She turned back to the road and headed down to the village, hoping with everything that she had that they didn't try to kill her.
Kiki woke up in Lulu and Wakka's house. She rubbed her head, What happened. Why am I here? She looked around to see that nobody was home. Kiki tried to get up, but her head had a horrible sharp pain in it. Just as she did this, Lulu came into the house.
"Don't move," she said. She walked over and put a wet cloth on Kiki's forehead. "Those swords pack quite a punch."
"Lulu... what happened to me?"
"Ahhh, so this is Kiki. I thought you looked like her, but I wasn't sure. I would like to ask you the same question."
Kiki noticed her wings again and shrank. She was just hoping that it could all be a dream. "I-I'm not to sure myself... I was just released today..."
"Yesterday," Lulu interrupted. "You've been knocked out since yesterday."
"Right. I was released yesterday. My godfather... the one who took me after my parents died... he only wanted me for an experiment. He experimented on me for a year... he let me go just two days ago. I failed, and he released me," Kiki said getting tearful. "Fro tet drec rybbah du sa?"
"Why did this happen to me?"
Lulu brushed Kiki's hair out of her face, not seeming to be fazed by what she had just said. "I don't know what you can do. I think that they best thing would be to go back to jhose temple and live the best you can. Who knows? Maybe these new things will be useful to you..."
Kiki nodded. She was just thinking this herself. These things might be useful to her in the long run, and she never needed to carry a weapon around with her again. She was almost sure that the temple would let her come back, they didn't want her to leave in the first place. She was a grade A with machina. She could do whatever was thrown at her, maybe this will help.
She stood up, her head feeling much better and overall feeling much happier then before. She went to the door and followed Lulu outside. She wasn't sure if she wanted to be alone yet. Someone might still want to attack her. She saw Wakka running around and ran over to give him a big hug.
"Whoa! Watch it Kiki! I don't want to get hit by your tail too soon, ya!" Wakka exclaimed.
Kiki giggled and said, "Sorry Wakka. It's just so good to see people again!" She backed off as not to hit him.
"Well it's good to see you again Kiki. Even if it's a little more of you then before... why haven't you visited? The island get too boring for you?"
Kiki looked down at her toes. "It's more complicated then that, Wakka. Let's talk about something else. How's life been for you?"
"Everything's fine. Nothing's really changed, but I haven't heard from anywhere else, ya. It's like we're isolated out here!"
Kiki laughed again. "Well that's too bad," she said. "I'm leaving soon too. Let's just say I have a lot of catching up to do. You know that I'm 17 now, right?"
Wakka's face brightened up even more, if it was possible. "Oh yeah! You're not some little girl anymore, eh?" he said. He smiled. "Ah, well, you can't stay young forever. Though compared to me you still young, ya?"
"Wakka! You aren't old! Now who said that?"
"Lu. Everyday," Wakka said smiling.
Kiki smiled then looked around to see that Lulu was gone. She frowned and wondered, Where'd she go? Oh well, I'll see her later I guess. I hope I see her before I go, because I think I might leave tomorrow. I can't wait to get back to the temple."
"What are you thinking about?" Wakka asked seeing her blank stare.
"Oh nothing. I'm leaving tomorrow though. I haven't seen the temple in a while."
"You haven't been at the temple?" Wakka asked with wide eyes. "I thought that was where you were the whole time. Someday, girl, you're going to have to tell me what happened. I'm so confused here, ya!"
Kiki laughed, "I will, I promise."
She found enough courage to go off on her own for a while. She walked around the village waving at people that she once new, before the experiments. Yet now they seemed far away. They all seemed like something that isn't really there, but they all saw her and waved, and smiled. As if nothing was wrong. She felt like they were all just an illusion to her.
(PLEASE REVIEW!!!! This is my first so, I would like some feedback! Thanks. Oh yeah, more coming soon enough!)
