Red XIII: Fine.. -shakes head- Neokie does not own Final Fantasy VIII...OR ME!
Neokie: Silence!
Red XIII found himself in a weird place afterwards, bound by chains. He gnawed at them and winced, retreating his head back in pain as he felt the cold metal on his canines. He looked around for Barret and Cloud, seeing neither of them he lay his head down on the dirt and snorted, his nostrils flared as he looked around. It all seemed familiar yet he had no idea where he was. A figure appraoched, wearing a green mask and holding a spear it spoke something that Nananki could not hear. The figure poked Nanaki with his spear and Red XIII snarled, snapping at it.
The person jumped back in suprise and then ran away. Red XIII thought about what he had seen and blinked. The Gi were back? ..No...It was impossible. His mom...and Dad had fought them away from the cannyon years ago. Was he going mad? He shrugged and struggled, dragging himself over to a stalagmite he place it on his paws, rubbing it against the stalagmite. The chain burned itself off and Red XIII stood up, licking his paw and looking at his surroundings.
He stretched and decided the best thing to do would be to look for Cloud first then Barret. He ran out and looked around. It was still the Cave of Gi. The image of the green masked person scared him, he quickly replaced the image with a different one and started to look around. He found no sign of the spiky blonde or the cussing machine gun hand man. He sat himself down next to his petrified father, glancing at the burning red moon.
"Father...Please help. I know you're still here. Anything to help me?" He sighed and stood back up, ready to continue. It seemed the Lady of good fortune wasn't siding with him this time. Until he heard something he missed dearly.
"Hooo hoo hooo..."
The familiar laugh of his Grandfather? Red XIII snapped his head back, turning it to find Bugenhagen. The Bugenhagen Cosmo Cannyon had missed. He ran over but passed right through Bugenhagen, nearly falling off the cliff if he hadn't stopped immediately. Bugenhagen laughed. "Don't try young Nanaki. You asked for help did you not? This is why I am here." Nanaki's eyes widened and he sat, glancing at his father and grandfather.
"Grandpa..." He said but Bugenhagen continued.
"You've been living with a lie have you not? This is why you see the Gi. They are merely your weakness of that lie. Defeat them and the path to your friends will be clear. That is all I can tell you. See you on the other side when you arrive. I'll be waiting. Hooo hoooooo hoooooooooooo..."
Bugenhagen faded and Red XIII clenched the dirt underneath his paws. He howled and snarled, rushing down the cliff, searching for the Gi, his weakness.
