Chapter XV: Vegnagun
She was lying in her bed staring up at the ceiling her eyes were somewhat blurred out zoning into a daydream. She had told him how she felt but he didn't so much as reply back to her. He just left without a word and hadn't come back til the next morning. She went to class and even switched seats with the girl whom as beside him but he still didn't reply to her. He sat in class and just did nothing acting like what she said to him wasn't of any relevance at all. Yet she doesn't know why, she doesn't know why he choses to ignore her. Is it because he doesn't love her back? Is it because he loves somewhat else? The case is unclear and will always remain until he is ready to say so.
" Hey Millie what are you doing in here?" Aerith said stepping inside and sitting at her bedside.
" I told him" Millie said.
" And what did he say?" Aerith asked.
" He didn't say anything he just walked out on me" Millie said.
" Huh?" Aerith's eyes got wide and she scratched her cheek thinking. " Was he that shocked to hear it?"
" I dunno" She shrugged and turned on her stomach staring down into the pillow.
" You should really stop this" Paine said walking in and looking down at her.
" Huh" She rose her head out of the pillow.
" Your 13years old, your all caught up with these little feelings of yours…if he doesn't like you he doesn't like you it's not the end of humanity, you should be more concerned with your grades than some guy !" Paine said.
" Your…Your right" Millie said standing up. " Your right Paine, I don't wanna feel like this anymore"
" Nice motivational speech toots" Aerith said winking at Paine. Paine winked back and watched as Millie stood up on her feet. She turned around and walked out of the room, Paine and Aerith stood at her sides as she walked.
" Where we goin?" Paine asked.
" To Kiako's room" Millie replied. She walked over to the higher up dorms then made to Kiako and Kuro's room. She pounded on the door immediately Kiako came to the door in her pajamas rubbing her eyes.
" What is it?" Kiako yawned.
" Kiako chan if you please I'd like to borrow one of your Garment Grids" Millie said bowing.
" Sure" Kiako yawned walking back into her dark room. They waited by the door for her to come back Kiako came back with one three sphere grid that had the warrior garment, the blackmage garment and the Berserker garment in there.
" This is a really old garment you can keep it" Kiako yawned. " So what are you gonna do with it?"
" Use it of course" Millie smiled.
O.o " Huh?" Kiako said getting out of her sleepy like tone and staring at Millie. " Your gonna use it? Not Paine or Aerith…you?"
" Yes" Millie said bowing.
" Wait asec I wanna come with you guys to make sure you don't…hurt yourself" Kiako said running into her room and coming out with a full set of cloths on. Kuro's door was wide open and from the outside you could see her meditating on the floor.
" Come on let's go" Kiako said. With that they turned and walked out of the door and to the right towards the Monster Training facility. They stepped into the vegetated room and started to walk around abit. The air got thin all of a sudden when a T-Rexuar appeared out of nowhere roaring at the four. Aerith pulled out her Umbrella wand, Paine pulled out her sword, Kiako got ready in a fighting pose and Millie pulled out the garment grid.
" Okay everyone stand back!" Millie said.
" Hey I don't care if you switch garments you still can't take a T Rexuar by yourself" Paine said holding up her sword. She pressed the button on the grid and (Transformation cut scene I used to hate watching that part because they never REALLY got nude…not that I was…expecting something like that O.o just read dammit!) Millie turned out looking like Yuna in her warrior garment except she wielded Tidus's red long sword.
" Let's take him" Millie said running towards the T Rexuar.
" Man she has a lot of spunk" Kiako said running beside her. Paine and Aerith followed up.
Kiako jumped in the air and kicked the huge dinosaur in the face causing it's head to curve to the side. Millie flipped up on it's head and just as she was gonna ram the sword into the back of the dinosaur's head the T Rexuar slapped Millie off with it's tail. She flipped off of the back of it's head then landed down on the ground dropping her sword. Aerith ran over to heal Millie while Paine and Kiako dished out T Rexuar.
"Katon Goukakyuu no jutsu!" Kiako chanted focusing her chakra. She fired a huge fireball at the T Rexuar. The fireball hit knocking over on it's side then Paine flipped onto it's neck jamming her sword into the Rexuar's neck. The T Rexuar then turned into pyroflies… Paine flipped off and gave Kiako a thumb up in victory.
" Are you okay?" Aerith asked looming over Millie as she laid there with swirls in her eyes anime style.
" Yea fine" She said rubbing her forehead. Aerith helped her up onto her feet as she dazily stepped back, Kiako placed her hands up catching her.
" Let's get back to it ladies" Paine said.
Walking through the fog of the Training Facility was one figure holding two weapons. It turned out to be Fira, he stepped through the mist with his goggles over his eyes.
" Whoa Fira! Loved the entrance" Kiako said.
" Thanks" Fira spun his Ultima weapon Key and Metal Chocobo then put them away. " So what's goin on?"
" We're training" Millie said stepping up to Fira which was something she didn't normally do.
" Is that so?" Fira asked staring at her. He then turned chibi and looked up at her. " You look different!"
With that Millie, Kiako, Paine and Aerith fell over.
" I can't put my finger on it" Chibi Fira said rubbing his chin.
" Her cloths" Aerith said stepping forth. " God what do you see in this guy?"
" Oh her cloths right yea your wearing different cloths" Chibi Fira said. " They look good"
"Thanks" Millie said rubbing her arm blushing.
"Well gotta go" Chibi Fira said walking off. Suddenly three T Rexuars appeared before Chibi Fira. CF turned around and jumped on Kiako. " DON'T GOTTA GO SOMEBODY KILL THOSE THINGS!"
" Huh Three of them!" Paine said once again drawing her sword. Millie was staring at CF as he trembled uncontrollably in Kiako's hands like a baby.
' I'll protect you" Millie thought stepping forth. " T Rexuars run at a distance of 90miles per hour so we can't outrun them" Millie said.
" So we're gonna have to do the second best thing" Paine said. " Let's kick their asses"
" Are they crazy!" Chibi Fira said looking up at Kiako as she stared back at Fira.
" But their right we have to fight!" Kiako said.
" No Kiako don't leave me!" Chibi Fira said as Kiako dropped him. Kiako took off running into battle, Fira fell to the ground hitting it head first then stood up looking serious. " Well I guess I have to go at it now" He said to himself jumping off.
" I'll heal you guys fight!" Aerith said running at a distance and constantly using cure spells to keep their HP at a minimum. Millie ran up to the first T Rexuar and flipped over it's tail as it swung it. She jumped up stepping on it's nose then bomb rushed down with the sword pointing downward. The T Rexuar moved to the side dodging Millie's assault then placed it's huge foot on her crushing her into the ground.
' No…is this it? Am I gonna die? I don't care as long as I know I died protecting him I don't care' Millie thought. Just as her last thoughts came out the T Rexuar went flying off of her. She opened her eyes to see Aerith holding her.
" Aerith?" She said.
" Not me… him" Aerith said pointing off into the distance. Fira was standing there he didn't have his Keyblades drawn yet he brought down awhole T Rexuar with out endangering Millie's life. He ran towards the T Rexuar Paine was fighting then jumped up landing on it's head the T Rexuar then tried to snap Fira off it's forehead Fira rammed his Ultima Weapon Keyblade in it's mouth so it wouldn't snap then Paine came up and slashed it's head clean off it's shoulders. Fira and Paine jumped back at the same time, Fira opened his palm and the Ultima Weapon Key suddenly appeared in his hand. As they had just recovered from that another T Rexuar fell and Kiako appeared on top of the fallen T Rexuar's head.
" And that's three" Fira said twirling his Keyblade and placing it on his back while whistling the Final Fantasy victory tune. " Well you peeps have fun… Kiako I'm headed to the Headmaster's office to see if he has any missions lined up for us, wanna come with me?"
" Sure" Kiako said.
: In the Headmaster's office:
" Of course I have missions for you Fira" Headmaster Cid said. " This mission is a SeeD level 9 mission this mission will require seven SeeDs one of them being an Instructor"
" One's an Instructor?" Kiako asked.
" Yes ma'am" Cid said tipping up his glasses. " Your subordinates are Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Yuffie, Kiako and Instructor Kakashi"
" What? They all specialize in…" Fira started.
" Speed and stealth" Headmaster Cid said. " These qualities and this team are both essential in passing this mission, your mission starts now you will be briefed on the Airship of your assignment"
" Yessir" Fira said saluting Headmaster Cid along with Kiako. The both of them turned around and headed for the door. Kiako and Fira stepped into the elevator.
" YAYNESS on a mission with Instructor Kakashi!" Kiako said punching the air. " This is a dream come true" Her eyes were sparkly and wide anime style while she turned chibi running around in what little space she had.
" Now I feel like I shouldn't have asked her to come along" Fira said to himself.
The doors to the elevator opened Fira and Kiako stepped out to find Naruto, Sakura, Yuffie and Sasuke waiting for them.
" Hi guys" Kiako said stepping out of the elevator.
" He's not a ninja" Naruto said. " I thought only ninjas were on this mission"
" Well you thought wrong Naruto" Fira said stepping up and crossing his arms to his chest.
": Naruto shut up" Sakura said stepping forth.
" Let's go board the Airship!" Kiako said.
" Do we have to ride an Airship?" Yuffie asked holding her stomach. The six of them started out of the Garden and walked towards the Ragnorok which was sitting out on the front lawn of the Garden cranked up and ready to take off.
" This is SO COOL I ALWAYS WANTED TO RIDE ON THIS THING!" Naruto ran onto the ship first with Kiako behind him then Sasuke, Sakura and Fira had to force Yuffie to board the ship. They all immediately boarded the cockpit to see the pilot was Selphie.
" Selphie you're driving?" Naruto asking sitting in the co pilots seat.
" Yea I'm the only student in the Garden that can handle her" Selphie said with a smile.
" Naruto don't touch anything!" Sakura said pulling him by the ear out of the co pilot's seat. " You either Kiako!" Sakura said pulling Kiako by the ear too just when she was about to press a shiny red button.
" Ow Ow Ow" Kiako and Naruto complained.
" Where is the sensei?" Sasuke asked looking out the window.
"He's always late" Yuffie said. " Just like in homeroom"
" Yea" Sakura said. (Inner Sakura: He's always making us wait I'm getting sick and tired of it CHA!)
" You guys have Kakashi sensei for home room class?" Kiako asked.
" Yea, Yuffie, Sakura, Naruto and I" Sasuke replied.
" Darn it" Kiako said snapping her finger.
" Why is he always late does he ever tell you guys?" Fira asked.
" Sure but it's always some sort of lame excuse" Sakura said.
" Yea like I had to go use the bathroom or something like that" Naruto added. Suddenly out of nowhere walking up the stairs was a man with white spiky hair swirving off to the side by a headband that covered his left eye.
" Sensei" Yuffie said alittle nervous now that she know the ship is gonna move.
" Oh sorry I was late you see I fell asleep while I was sorting out my papers and students grades" Kakashi said pointing to the back of him. Fira turned chibi then looked up at Sakura.
" Geez your right…that excuse sucked" Fira said.
" Well shall we get mission under way" Kakashi said sitting down in one of the seats in the cockpit.
" Finally" Naruto said.
" Selphie lift off come on!" Kiako said punching the air.
" Roger that teehee" Selphie said pulling on the controls.
" Here goes" Yuffie said dropping down to her knees holding her stomach.
Once the airship was flying stories above ground level Selphie began to explain the mission.
" Okay let's get this briefing over with, your job is to go into the Bevelle underground and take three consecutive shots of Yevon's new super weapon with this Kodak camera" Selphie said tossing it behind her. Naruto caught it with his hands. " You must get in unseen and get out"
" A stealth mission" Kakashi said.
" Yevon has a super weapon?" Sakura asked.
" Yes all of these secret militaries have there secrets Yevon has the worst habit of all for hiding things from the public" Sasuke spoke up.
" Well I guess we're gonna find out what this thing is, but what I'm worried about is not about the weapon but what our client wants with such information? Are these pictures gonna be sold to other militaries? This one mission could lead to world war" Fira said sitting in a chair staring out the window at the clouds. Everyone stopped for asecond to think about what he just said even Kakashi found what Fira said to be true.
" Maybe" Kakashi said.
" I hate wars" Fira said. " So many people die over something as trivial as an argument or a belief"
The Ragnorok went into stealth mode as it hovered over Bevelle's chapel. The Ragnorok dropped the seven of them off on the balcony of the grand hall. Kakashi moved in first checking to see if the coast was clear then his hand poked out signaling for everybody to come in. They all ran inside and looked around there was abunch of mist everywhere and monks of Yevon walked the halls.
" Okay guys your in, do you see that floaty thing there that's over the fog?" Selphie said through communicator.
"Yes" Kakashi said back.
" Well you have to ride it down to get to the underground" Selphie said. Naruto ran and flipped off of the edge landing on the elevator-floating thing. But only to be road right back up on the level he jumped off of.
" Huh?" Naruto said.
" No silly you have to flip a switch first" Selphie said.
" Where is the switch?" Sasuke asked.
" Down on the first floor to your left Sasuke" Selphie replied.
" You guys stay here" Sasuke ran and jumped off of the edge zooming off down the hall running at high speed.
" He's so cool" Sakura said.
"Err damn that Sasuke" Naruto said.
" Yea he made you look like a complete caveman Naruto" Yuffie said.
" Shut up" Naruto snapped.
" Keep it down have you forgotten that we're hiding?" Kiako said.
All of a sudden the gondola turned a different color and Sasuke came back in a matter of seconds.
" Nice work Sasuke" Kakashi said standing up and jumping down on the gondola with everybody else following. They road the gondola below the mist and made it to the temple underneath. They all dismounted the elevator then found themselves in a long hallway.
" What is this place?" Fira asked.
" I didn't even know this place exsited in Yevon guess you were right about these guys keeping secrets Sasuke" Yuffie said.
" Yea" Kiako said wide-eyed looking around.
" Let's go there is no need for stealth down here" Kakashi said walking normally. Kiako was at his side up in the front, Sasuke and Sakura took up the end while Fira, Yuffie and Naruto took place in the middle. While walking the group came up on a series of puzzles but with Kakashi's quick thinking and Naruto's constant need to show off behavior they wiped through the puzzles in a matter of minutes ending up at the halfway point which was a bunch of prison cells moving around in sequence.
" What is this place?" Sakura asked.
" Looks like abunch of jail cells" Kiako said.
" This was probably for the really really bad guys" Naruto said
" Yea…" Fira said.
" No time to stop and be amazed we have a job to do" Kakashi said walking into the next room. The rest ran up to catch up with the sensei. Their runs came to a halt when they ran into the next room to see a giant metallic being with tusks and big goat like legs.
" Whoa!" Naruto said impressed.
" This…this thing" Kakashi said his eyes wide.
" I'm getting bad vibes from this thing" Kiako said.
" Your not the only one" Sakura said.
" Okay we have to take three pictures one on the left side, right side and the center" Kakashi said handing the picture of Yuffie.
" Okay let's take some pictures" Yuffie said walking up to it.
" HOLD IT!" A voice shouted as bullets shot the ground where they stood.
" Huh!" Kakash turned around to see abunch of Galbadia machina with some Yevon soldiers and leading them was non other than Biggs and Wedge.
" Well well well if it isn't that brat!" Biggs said pointing to Fira. Fira turned chibi then turned his back on Biggs.
" Not you again" Chibi Fira said slapping his forehead.
" Yea it's time to get my revenge on you once and for all you keyblade weilding little mother$$$KER!" Biggs cursed.
" Yuffie take the pictures we'll handle these guys" Fira said pulling out his Metal Chocobo. Kakashi turned around cracking his knuckles, Naruto pulled out a kunai as did Sakura and Sasuke. Kiako jumped in her fighting pose. The soldiers pulled up their guns…
" No you fools if you miss and hit Vegnagun then it might wake up and kill us all" Biggs shouted. The soldiers put down their guns and rushed the SeeDs. Fira tossed his Keyblade knocking out quite afew of them before they reached the SeeDs.
" Okay it's my turn!" Naruto said. " Tajuu Kage Bushin no Jutsu!"
About ten Narutos appeared on the battle field kicking down afew soldiers. Sakura slashed down afew soldiers as they got close. Sasuke with his fancy movements managed in getting around the soldiers slashing and kicking students down. He flipped over the crowd landing down on the floor he then did acouple of hand seals. "Oikibi no jutsu!" Sasuke shouted placing his fingers to his mouth and blowing fire at a small squadron. Kiako drew an alchemy circle in the ground and slapped her palms down on the circle causing giant fists to rise up punching most of the soldiers in the guts and knocking them out.
Using Chidori Kakashi jumped from machina to machina zapping the hell out of all of the machina that tried to stop Yuffie from taking the pictures.
" I'm done!" Yuffie cheered.
"We are too" Naruto said rubbing under his nose. " They weren't so tough"
The last one standing on their side was Biggs. Fira took a step forward with Metal Chocobo.
" You haven't seen the last of me dread head keyblader master" Biggs said running off.
" He's getting away" Kiako said.
" He isn't our concern right now" Kakashi said. "Let's go before he alarms anyone else of our presence"
: Back at the Garden, just returning:
" Yes home free" Naruto said running up to the front gates.
" Yuffie let me see the camera" Kakashi said holding out his hand. " You guys did great today, I'll report this to Headmaster Cid you guys go and relax"
" Yes finally a report I don't have to file" Fira said.
" Ooooh let's go to the cafeteria and get some roman" Naruto said.
" I'm so beat I need a nap" Kiako yawned.
" Yea me" Sakura said stretching.
" I dunno about you guys but I gotta take a bath" Yuffie said.
"Tell me about it" Naruto and Fira turned chibi and began to fan their noses while standing beside Yuffie out of spite.
"WHO ASKED YOU GUYS!" Yuffie shouted.
" Nobody" Fira said shrugging.
: In the Headmaster's Office:
" Here" Headmaster Cid handed the camera to a man in a black suit with long black hair. Tseng shook his head and took the camera he gave the money to Cid in a suitcase then left the room.
" I don't trust him" Kakashi said staring at Tseng.
" Neither do I but this garden needs this money Kakashi" Cid said.
" I guess your right" Kakashi said turning off and walking towards a door.
