A Psychologist Day and Life

Chapter Twelve: Train Ride Incident

We left early the next morning. After saying our good-byes, our group (which by the way consisted of Rosette, Azmaria, Chrono, Amor and myself and which was very emotional to the girls, by the way) went to the train station and began our long, long, long, long journey to San Francisco. Amor and I sat with each other and so did Azmaria and Chrono. Rosette sat alone. At the beginning of the train ride, Azmaria and Chrono were talking excitedly. Rosette, however, was looking on edge. Amor and I talked in whispers.

"We just had to make her nervous," Amor pointed out.

I rubbed my head, "I know, she was going to find out sooner or later. It might as well be sooner."

"So says the man who wanted to keep the natural order of things."

"Hey, even I have my limits. There is so much I can take."

"What are you two talking about?" We turned around to see Rosette looking at us, with a I'm-to-nervous-to-enjoy-this-train-ride-because-of-the–things-you-told-me look.

"Nothing," Amor replied.

"A whole lot of nothing," she said, crossing her arms. "So when do you think that the enemy will show up?"

"I don't know," I replied, "that remains to be seen."

She sat back down and she kept her look. We then said nothing further. I woke up to find that everyone was asleep. Everyone…except a particular nun. Rosette was looking out the window, in some kind of a daze.

"She's still up," I thought to myself. Now usually I didn't mind the company however Rosette was making me nervous for some unknown reason. It may have been the fact that Rizal may attack any minute or the look on her face what whatever it was, it was unpleasant. She looked at me.

"Did I wake you?" she asked in a whisper.

"No," I lied to her. She tapped her empty seat so I took it upon myself to move right beside her. She was silent for a moment.

"You're a psychologist right?"

"That's my title, why do you ask?"

"Well," she shifted herself a little, "aren't you a bit too young to be a psychologist? I mean you need to be an old man in order to be a good one."

"What the… Are you questioning my abilities as a psychologist because of my age?"

"Don't take it personally. I didn't mean it that way."

"Do you have something in mind that will prove my worth?"

Rosette thought for a moment, and then asked, "What do you have in mind?"

I then replied quickly, "the fact of who your true enemies are…" This was a specific topic I was most fond of. Between the anime and the manga, both had similarities. She blamed one person for her past being the way it is.

She was now looking straight at me. Obviously I got her attention. "What are you talking about?"

"Well, whom are you always blaming for your brother's disappearance?" I wanted to keep this as subtle as possible as it was delicate situation. "Did you ever think of other possibilities?"

"No," she answered unpleasantly. "There is only one person that is responsible for all this and you should know."

"Oh yes, the sinner Aion, the one that destroyed everything for you. Please…"

"It's the truth!" she replied.

"No, it's not," I said to her. "You use him as a scapegoat every time you're confronted about this issue. At least hear me out…"

"I rather not," she said, once again looking outside the window. Hey, she started this conversation and she's ending it because she's losing. Well, I wasn't going to let that happen. I was about to say some more things however the train then came to an abrupt stop.

"Oh, what's happening?" Azmaria awoke from her nap.

Amor and Chrono woke up at the same time. Amor blurted out, "I didn't cum at you Chrono, I swear."

"What did you say?" Chrono asked puzzled. We all got up. That's when we noticed something.

"Where are all the passengers?" Amor asked, freaked out about this. It was true. All the passengers had disappeared.

"What do we do now?" Chrono asked. "It's obvious that we've ran into a trap."

"We go top side," Rosette said as she prepared her weapon for battle. We got the idea. In the anime, Rizal was found controlling people's mind however things took a different twist from the anime completely. We didn't know what to expect.

"It's obvious that Rizal's waiting for us," I graciously pointed out to our clueless nun.

"Exactly. We're going to bring the battle to her so we'll have an advantage."

"A surprise attack…What are you stupid?" Amor asked her. "Yeah, we're going to have an advantage. Have you ever thought about what would happen if things don't go our way? If we do horrible in the battle, then we're going to be so desperate that's going to have you release the seal and having Chrono go psycho on her. Come on, we need a plan."

"No time!" Rosette yelled and she was out the door. We closely followed after her.

"Damn it, she's going to be the end of us," Amor panted. I was as equally pissed I had to admit. What words did she didn't understand when I said 'We have to stick together.' I made it blunt and clear, didn't I? Just then, we were blocked by people holding striking objects.

"They're coming towards us!" Azmaria panicked.

We prepared out swords when all of a sudden the people dropped dead onto the floor. When the dust cleared, Satella appeared.

"What are you doing here?" Chrono asked her.

She smiled, "You think I would travel by car to San Francisco? I have business there to attend to."

"Whatever, just get out of the way," Chrono said fanatically. "We have to get to the top before she does something rational."

"Way to shove Chrono," Amor said happily as we hurried on. Taken back at this, Satella stalled for a moment before choosing to join us. We must have passed two cars before having to stop. In front of us were the rest of the cars moving away with a slight visual of Rosette making her way forward.

"Too late," Chrono mumbled.

"What do we do now? What the hell do we do now!" Amor asked in his panic mode.

I mumbled the answer, "We pray..."

We were all about to lose hope until Satella activated her jewel glove and summoned the "Deep March".

"Pretty..." Azmaria said.

"Just get on," she said as we got on. The train passed over a bridge and we easily caught up with the rest of the train and hastily climbed up the ladder. When we got up the top, however, it wasn't a pleasant sight. What we saw was Rizal with a battered Rosette.

Chrono mumbled, "I knew this was going to happen."

"You think?" Amor said sarcastically.

Rizal laughed, "I see that her friends have arrived. No matter. Once I'm done with her, you'll be next."

I looked at her gun. "You're empty."

"You have a knack for pointing the obvious," Rosette said as she hurried to her feet. "Do you have a bullet on you, Chrono?"

Chrono tossed a gospel over to her and prepped it for an attack. However Rizal screamed and went towards her. "You will not succeed!"

"Is there a time when you shut up?" Amor yelled and we knocked her back. I knew that Rosette was going to say her prayer so I covered my ears.

"Why do you have you ears covered?" Azmaria asked.

I then replied, "Trust me kid. After a while, that prayer gets annoying." She fried and was knocked back however Chrono caught her. It was a direct hit and as Rizal fell towards her doom, she mumbled, "I'm sorry…master."

We looked down. Amor mumbled, "She won't be coming back." Just then, a blast came from the locomotive.

"It's gonna blow!" Chrono yelled to us. "We've got to get off this train!" The train had just finished crossing the bridge and we jumped off just before the train derailed and was completely engulfed in the blast. We watched on.

"That was fun," Amor said after a while.

"Is there a time when you are ever serious?" Chrono asked.

"Hey," I looked around. "Where's Satella?"

We looked around and she was nowhere to be seen.

"You're right…she's gone," I said finally.

"She was with you?" Rosette asked us. We nodded. "Who cares about her, anyways?"

Amor said to himself quietly, "She had a spirit that could have taken us to San Francisco... Stupid."

Rosette yelled, "Shut up, I heard you!" Then I named our objectives.

"Okay one, we need to get Rosette some clothes." We searched the wreckage and found a grey, tattered rag.

"I'm not wearing that," Rosette mumbled. "I rather die."

"Get used to it," Chrono said to her. "It's your only option." After changing and bandaging Rosette up with a first aid kit we found from the wreckage, we sighted a road.

"Probably leads to San Francisco," Chrono deducted. We looked at the road.

"You do realize that walking will take us days to reach San Francisco," Rosette said finally.

"We're not going anywhere if we're not moving," Chrono said back. I started to move.

"Then we better start walking."

I like writing. That's why I'm writing this story. Anyways, I hope that you enjoyed that. Some parts are a bit screwy to understand however I hope that you please R&R and don't flame me!
