Chapter XI: Jewel of Power PT.3
"Push with your knees come on" Utada said laughing as she watched Zero, Avalon, Kiako and Fira try to flip over the truck again. After minutes of trying the hummer was back on it's four wheels.
" Finally" Fira said wiping his forehead of sweat.
" Seriously dude" Avalon said. " Okay everybody let's get going"
Every headed towards the car but Miko and Kuro she was looking down in shame. Fira walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder. He leaned down and whispered in her ear.
" Miko I know your feeling down about what happened, don't worry alright nobody here hates you it could have happened to anyone, like Avalon said Bankotsu is really strong, don't worry we'll get the jewel back and everything will be eezy peezy lemon squeezy " Fira said. Miko looked at Fira and smiled. He gazed back at her for asec then jumped back turning chibi and blushing.
meek tone " thank you for your kind words Fira…again" She said bowing and heading for the truck
" What did you say to her?" Kuro asked walking up.
" Nothing she's hasn't heard already" Fira said. Right then he noticed Kuro was behind him then turned chibi with sweat running down his face. He flipped back and looked back. " K-K-K-Kuro! What do you want?"
" Geez straight to the point huh?" Kuro said.
" Yea" Chibi Fira said.
" Okay I want you to…" Kuro started.
BEEP BEEP went the hummer truck. " You guys hurry up you better not be confessing your love for one another" Avalon shouted.
" Keep your shirt on!" Kuro shouted back. " well like I was saying I want you to call your Chocobo, Boko I think his name was"
" Huh? Why you wanna ride him?" Fira asked.
" Yea I getting alittle car sick" Kuro said blushing alittle.
" Okay but that's if he'll let you ride him" Fira said placing his fingers in his mouth and whistling.
" what?" Kuro said. Suddenly falling down like a black feathery meteor was Boko he fell down to the ground with a big flop. He immediately ran walked over to Fira.
" WOW!" Kiako jumped out of the truck and ran over to where Fira and Kuro was to see Boko up close.
"epp epp" Boko chirped. (Translation: What is it Fira)
" Boko she wants a ride" Fira said pointing to Kuro. Kiako kicked Fira in the leg. " Oh yea and her too"
" epp epp" Boko said. (Translation: Let's see…)
Boko walked over to Kuro stretching his neck out long then sinking it in making a cackling potting sound with his beak.
" Kuro, Kiako don't move" Fira said stepping back. " Don't move, don't breath loudly, don't speak and don't look at him when he's looking at you give him eye contact and he'll snap your eye out"
" what" Kuro and Kiako said turning around.
" Don't turn your head look forward" Fira said quickly. By the time Kiako turned around Boko was inches from her face staring her dead in the eye. Kiako looked back at him mesmerized by his blood shot red eyes. Boko opened his beak slowly while hypnotizing her.
COUGH! Fira coughed really loudly to get Boko's attention for only a second(Boko was gonna pluck Kiako's eyes out, Fira just saved her). When Boko went back to looking at Kiako in the face Kiako was staring in another direction. Boko circled around Kiako then stopped at her tail. Boko then pushed her alittle with his head, then moved his head in between her legs, he grasped onto her kimono with his beak and shook it. Kiako was completely calm and relaxed, Boko walked over and picked up a small rock with his beak he then tossed it at Kiako's head, it sparked her but Kiako still didn't move.
" epp epp" Boko said. (Translation: This human is funny looking, however… I do like her she may ride me)
Boko walked over to Kuro and stared her straight in the face. Kuro stared right back at Boko not showing fear to the bird. Boko slowly opened his mouth, Kuro held up her staff to Boko's neck and a blade ejected from the tip making it look like somewhat of a scythe.
"I'd like to see you try and poke my eyes out" Kuro said.
" eepp epp" Boko said. (Translation: I think I'm in love) Boko licked Kuro on the face and picked her up by the collar then put her on his back. He walked over and picked Kiako up by the collar like a cub or chick and placed her on his back.
" Whee!" Kiako said riding on his back.
" I think he likes us" Kuro said.
" epp epp" Boko chirped. (translation: Fira although they can ride does not mean they control my reigns so will you be riding with us? Because if not I will drop them on their faces right now)
" Sorry buddy I don't think Avalon and Vale would like it if I road on ya with both Kuro and Kiako, they don't have to control you all you have to do is follow this truck" Fira said walking over and getting into the truck.
"Epp" Boko chirped. (translation: Fira your always in trouble with girls, anyway I'll follow tell these humans not to touch my reigns)
" Okay you guys are all set, you can grab onto his feathers for leverage, don't touch the reigns though because he'll feel restricted and he'll throw you off like a wild bull in a sattle" Fira said. " Oh yea"
Fira walked over and pulled his goggles off of his forehead and handing them to Kuro.
" Kiako you'll have to hold onto Kuro and Kuro wear these…Boko is probably the fastest thing you've ever been on so use these to protect your eyes from the wind" Fira said. Kuro grabbed the goggles and immediately put them on.
" Okay Avalon flur it!" Fira said jumping into the truck.
"Where too?" Avalon asked.
" Straight forward to Esthar I've got a plan" Fira said pointing forward, Without his goggles Fira's hair fell over his forehead and sort of down to his eyes making him look something like Kratos but with black and shorter hair. Avalon pressed on the gas all the way down and the hummer broke off into speeding down the bridge. Boko just stood there waiting for distance…
" Why isn't he moving?" Kuro asked Kiako.
" I dunno" Kiako said. " What's wrong Boko?" Kiako asked.
" epp" Boko chirped. (translation: distance…three, two, one)
Boko dashed off catching up with the hummer in less than 10.6 seconds, he was dashing taking big steps while running behind the hummer.
" WHOOOOOAAAAA! WWWHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEE HEEEEEEEE!" Kiako screamed.
" AAAHHHHHhhhHHHHH!" Kuro screamed.
Boko then ran up beside the hummer, Fira rolled down the window and tossed him a graham cracker then rolled up the window. Boko snatched the graham cracker out of the air and ate it as he was running.
O.O meek tone " Boko let's Kiako and Kuro ride…that's SO not fair" Miko said watching them ride around.
" I know he never chose two people at once before" Fira said.
" I've got a question for you Fira" Utada asked with a smile. Fira turned chibi then started sweating bullets?
" Yes?" He replied.
" How did Boko get so big?" Utada asked.
" That's the 63 dollar question" Avalon said.
meek tone "how did Boko get so big?" Miko asked. " He's way bigger than any other chocobo I've ever seen"
" I fed him mythical fruits from some strange Destiny Islands" Fira replied.
" The Paopu fruit?" Utada asked.
" Yea that's what people called it, I fed them to Boko when he was a baby, he really liked them" I replied.
" That probably explains why you can talk to him" Zero said from the front seat.
" Yea the paopu binds two people together for all eternity" Utada said.
" Well Boko isn't a person he's a chocobo" Avalon said.
" So Boko and Fira must have connected some way and that's through speech" Zero said.
" I don't know what you guys are babbling about but…whatever" Fira said shrugging.
meek tone " The paopu binds two people together for all eternity" Miko said.
When Miko said those words it got everyone in the truck to thinking.
' I wonder if Link will try them with me?" Miko thought.
' Maybe Sephy and I needs to take a trip to Destiny Islands hehe' Utada thought.
' I could put some paopu fruit in Kuro's lunch" Avalon thought.
' Paopu fruit, bah it's just a myth for little kids" Zero thought.
' I wonder where Bankotsu and the band of whatever went, we'll find those weirdos and get the shikon no tama back…because if we don't that's my ass' Fira thought turning chibi again. ' I wonder how the paopu fruit tastes, I thought it was just chocobo food but looks like I thought wrong… I hope it tastes like mango, or peaches… on second thought I really like kiwis'
After hours of chocobo running and hummer wheel speeding the team finally ended up at somewhat of an icy pathway.
" Looks like we've reached the limit, the car can't get through those narrow ridges" Avalon said.
" We make the rest of the journey on feet" Fira said getting out of the back seat. Miko, Utada, Avalon and Zero got out of the car. Boko walked over and kneeled down for Kuro and Kiako to get off. Kuro hopped off.
" Do I have to get off!" Kiako asked. Kuro grabbed Kiako and pulled her off.
" We look lost" Utada said crossing her arms to her chest.
" No we're on the right track let's move" Fira said.
Sitting on her bed was Millie, she was looking up at the ceiling in her room, Fira and his team were gone for three whole days.
" Feels like an eternity since he left" Millie sighed. Suddenly there was a knock on her door, she was cut out of the daze she was in. She got up slowly and walked over to the door, she opened it to see a boy dressed in black, white and gray army fatigue pants, a black t shirt with a bullet proof vest over it, dreads and jewelry around his neck and left ear.
" Fira" Millie said.
" Millie" Fira walked over and wrapped her arms around her body.
" I love you" Millie said.
" I love you too" Fira said as they both shared a kiss. Fira started to undo her cloths and they were gonna get busy until…
" MILLIE GET UP!" A voice shouted.
" wha…" Millie said as the image of the keyblade master faded and the picture of a boy with a leaf headband appeared. "Naruto?"
" Yea it's me, you were all like 'Fira I love you YES YES' and crap your so loud!" Naruto laughed. Standing in her room laughing was Paine, Aerith, Sasuke, Eno, Irvine, Squall an Rinoa.
" That little girl likes Fira?" Irvine laughed.
" Yea I see her drawing little doodles of him in class it's truly pathetic" Sasuke said.
" Shut up Sasuke" Paine said. " I think we all had enough laughter let's go…before she starts crying"
Millie had her face buried into her knees as the others left cutting off the light leaving her in the dark. She leaned over and landed on her side while softly crying.
(Author's Note: Dude I hate crap like this because I start to actually feel sorry for her…dammit…:does push up: I'm a man I don't feel sorry for people… :cries: I can't help it dammit I'm so soft inside :punches myself in the jaw: MAN UP DAMN YOU MAN UP!)
" What's wrong?" A voice said.
" Huh?" Millie looked up to see Aerith still standing in her room.
" Your afraid of what he's gonna say aren't you" Aerith asked sitting at her bedside.
"Yea" Millie said.
" Just say it…don't cut any corners the next time you see Fira just tell him the worst thing he could possibly say is no" Aerith said.
" But…" Before Millie could answer Aerith pressed forward and kissed her on the lips to stop her from talking. Millie's eyes grew wide.
" You're only 13 sweetie and you're already thinking like an adult that's very unhealthy… just go and ask him okay" Aerith said placing her hand on her cheek.
" Okay" Millie replied.
" I'm hungry" Chibi Fira said walking in the center of the group.
" We know" The whole group said walking through cold. Until they reached a dead end cliff.
" Looks like we're gonna have to turn back" Utada said.
" No this is it" Fira said running over to the cliff he placed his hands out infront of him placing them on an invisible wall. " This is the gate that connects to Esthar"
" An invisible wall" Kiako said knocking on the wall it made a hard steel sound. Suddenly the invisible wall became visible in the area they were standing.
O.O
" Is that it?" Zero asked.
" Yup it's the way in to Esthar" Fira said running into the gate. "Come on he said from inside."
Everyone walked into the gate after him to see Fira standing on a wide-open space. They then stood there in the wide-open space with him.
"Fira" Avalon said. Suddenly the entire floor started to move upward like an elevator. The only one unalarmed by this was Fira he was just standing there. The elevator then cut into a different area wher you could see the futuristic city of Esthar. Cars floating around and people taking tubes to get to different places in the city, it was any sight seers dream.
" Hey look this city is….AMAZING!" Kiako said looking around.
" It sure is, I've never seen anything like it" Utada said.
"Tight City" Fira said. The elevator got to the top floor then started to zoom then across the city as if showing them a tour. But the elevator came to a halt at a building. A hover car drove up to them and stopped just before them. Stepping out was a man in a long yellow robe.
" Hey get aload of those cloths" Avalon whispered to Kuro.
O.o
" You must be the SeeD group with the Shikon no tama" The man bowed.
"Yea we're the SeeD group but we don't have the Shikon" Fira said.
" Hmmm" The man paused and stared at them for awhile. " Come with me, we've contemplated if you couldn't safely deliver the Shikon no tama to us but I must say we didn't expect you to continue with the mission"
"We're SeeDs not quitters" Avalon said.
" That line was corny but I'll let it slide" Utada whispered to Miko as she giggled.
The group stepped into the hover car and drove off to the main building in the city it was about a five minute drive. After reaching Esthar city hall they went straight to Doctor Odine's lab.
" Doctor" the man said walking over and whispered in his ear.
" IDIOTS!" Odine shouted. Odine walked over to the SeeD group.
" You incompetent little…I knew we could not trust the Balamb…ERR I'm so frustrated!" Odine said. " Now instead of straight going into the research we have to find it again"
" We'll find it" Fira said.
" No you seven has already screwed this up enough!" Odine shouted.
" Please Doc, let us redeem ourselves and find the shikon jewel for you" Fira said bowing.
" Hmmm okay just don't screw up this time you little SH$TS!" Odine tossed Fira a small calculator sized locator.
" What's this?" Fira asked.
" Can't you tell? It's a locator use it to find the jewel" Odine said. " Now out of my site before I kill you incompetent bugs"
