Hao's new destiny. Part 1.

Hao couldn't believe he'd lost. Why did he loose? He was stronger then his twin brother Yoh! Now he was dead. He was worse then dead. He didn't even know where he was. He would always wake up to find himself in the same place over and over. A strange, flowery field, where strange lights floated around, that was making noises as though they were whispering secrets. Sometimes he saw people, standing on a muddy type of balcony, praying to see someone. He didn't understand. To be honest, he didn't really care.

Until now…

He woke up to a difference. A small, young looking human was sat in the fields, looking around. She didn't seem to show emotion. She just sat there, staring into space.

As much as Hao hated humans, he wanted badly to find out where the heck he was.

"Er… hello?" He asked nervously walking towards the girl. The girl didn't move. She just mumbled, "Yes?"

Hao frowned, scratching his head. "Do you know where we are?" He eventually asked.

The girl stood up and turned to face him. She was only short. In height, she only just reached his shoulder. She had shoulder length brown hair and was wearing a knee length white dress with a silver cloak. Around her neck hung a necklace with a small sword on it. The sword had a type of dragon entwined around it. It's eyes flashed at the sight of Hao.

"We are in a place that the dead go. In another world. We are in the Farplane." She answered simply. "I guess you're from earth too."

Hao nodded. He had never heard of the Farplane before. He wanted to know more.

"Do you know how we can get out?" He asked. He really wanted to get out. He felt unwholesome here.

The girl sighed. "We will leave when we are needed. I hope you have a weapon."

Hao rolled his eyes. "I'm a shaman. I don't need a weapon."

The girl shook her head. "Sorry, the power of shamans will not reach here. You need a proper weapon. Not a pawn."

Hao was already growing impatient with this girl. "What would you know? You're only human!"

The girl turned to face him, her cold eyes boring into his. "Listen here! Most of the people in this world are human! Here, there are no such things as Shamans. There are summoners, Guardians, Aeons, fiends… but no Shamans. So get use to it!" Then she turned away from him.

Hao was now seething. "No Shamans? You better help me out of this place or I'll…"

The little girl laughed coldly. "What? Hit me? I'd like to see you try!"

Hao raised his fist and aimed for the girls face. As the fist was a matter of seconds away from hers, she jumped quickly out of the way, over Hao's head, and kicked her legs into Hao's, knocking him off balance. The girl tossed her hair out of her face.

"Your agility needs improvement. You need agility to survive here." She told him. She suddenly froze on the spot.

"Ah… We're needed." She whispered. Hao yelled in shock as a bright white light shone from his heart and engulfed him. He noticed the same had happened to the little girl. Then they both disappeared, leaving the Farplane behind…

Meanwhile…

"Forgive us Lady Yuna!" Someone cried, as they fired a harpoon gun at the giant fin of sin. It stuck. Sin just started dragging them along, shooting sin spawn at the boat.

"Yuna, stay back!" A red head called Wakka cried, running forward with a strange looking ball in his hand. A blonde haired boy called Tidus, and a fierce tempered black mage called Lulu joined him.

Everyone, even the sin spawn themselves, were rather stunned when a bright light shone over their heads, and two complete strangers came falling out. One was a man wearing a white poncho; the other was a girl wearing a white dress with a silver cloak.

"What the…" Tidus yelled as they both landed on him with a thump.

"OW!" Hao screeched, jumping up. The girl just rolled her eyes, and jumped up, straightening her dress.

Yuna stared at the unexpected guests in shock. "Um… hello?" She nervously started. The girl waved her hand politely, whilst Hao just rubbed his sore butt.

"I am Summoner Yuna, from the Isle of Besaid." She continued, doing a strange type of bow. Hao frowned at her, but noticed the girl return the gesture politely.

"And I am Sorceress Sarah, from the planet earth." The girl who now had a name answered. Yuna gasped.

"You're from… the planet earth? And you're a Sorceress?"

The whole ship, apart from Tidus and Hao froze. Wakka stared at them.

"Don't tell me sins toxin got to you that bad?" He cried. Tidus nervously shuffled his feet. "I guess." Suddenly, the whole ship gave a huge shudder. The new arrivals had shocked everyone so bad, they'd almost forgotten about sin.

Yuna quickly said, "There will be time for explanations later Tidus. We need to stop sin from getting to Kilika!"

"Kilika?" Hao frowned. Sarah slapped him across the back of his head.

"I'll tell you everything you need to know later." She hissed in his ear. "But for now, we need to get you a weapon!"

"Here!" Lulu called, throwing him a spear. Hao stared at it. Then he ran forward into battle. Sarah joined him.

"Okay, someone needs to keep aiming at sin. The others need to keep the sin spawn away!" Sarah ordered. Wakka ran forward with the weird ball. Hao frowned at it. He decided to ask what it was later.

Fighting the sin spawn was tiring. Sarah and Hao were now both struggling and running low on HP. Wakka quickly threw them both a potion each. Sarah sighed. She'd had enough of using magic. It was time to get physical.

Sarah pulled the sword that was on her necklace off and clutched it tightly in her hands. Blood slowly started dripping from where the sword was cutting her skin. She opened her hands. The cuts started healing up and the sword started to grow in length so that it was as long as her arm. She smartly grabbed it with her right arm before it fell to the ground. Hao laughed.

"You humans and your weapons." He spoke coolly, running forward with his new spear he spun it above his head and it grew in length, hitting all the sin spawn (you know like that attack Baralai likes to use when you fight him in final fantasy x-2).

Sarah ran forward smoothly with her sword, holding it out at arms length, and spun on the spot, knocking the new coming sin spawn off the deck.

Wakka continued with all his might to throw the weird ball at sin. Hao was getting impatient.

"Let me try something!" He yelled, turning to face sin. He faced his staff so it was pointing upwards and bellowed, "FIRE!" Then swung the staff down towards sin. Fire seemed to erupt from within sin. With one last desperate pull, sin broke free of the harpoon that was attached to the ship and dove back into the water, slapping his tail as he went.

"A fine goodbye to you too." Hao grumbled under his breath, plucking at his soaked poncho.

Sarah walked towards him. She shoved a strangely warm book into his hands.

"Use this to help you around Spira. You should also learn more about Sorceresses. However, don't tell anyone else about this book. It could offend them." Then she walked off.

Hao frowned, looking down at the book. He decided to read it when he had more time. He tucked it away into his poncho.

"Anyway," Tidus started. "What's so big about that girl being a Sorceress?"

Yuna sighed. "Yevon has spoken of a powerful Sorceress, a sorceress who would be powerful enough to rid of all the darkness in our world. We were all hoping she'd come along soon. Now we believe we have found her!"

Sarah looked stunned. "Me?" She mumbled with a frown of disbelief.

Yuna smiled. "Legend had it that you would appear, during a time of need. You came. I certainly believe you're the Sorceress who can save us all." Wakka nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Hao froze. Everyone turned to him.

"What's wrong?" Sarah asked him, waving her hand in front of him. He didn't respond. In fact, he didn't show any sign that he knew where he was.

What no one realized was that he was having a vision…

Sin was looking upon the island that had once been Kilika. Tree branches were floating over his head. The water was littered with dead people and food and crushed homes. Hao stared upon the sight. He couldn't quite believe this. He'd done worse, but seeing someone do damage that was worthy to him almost disgusted him. He had to get out…

Hao gasped and started shaking as he snapped out of his trance. Sarah quickly caught him before he collapsed.

"We… need to get… to that island… NOW!" He gasped. Yuna suddenly screamed.

"KILIKA! OH MY GOD!" She cried, pointing across the water, towards where Kilika was just slightly coming into view. The actual island looked fine, but the docks were a terrible state. Just like what Hao had seen…

Later…

Yuna climbed off the boat, and walked over towards a few of the locals. Sarah followed her.

"I am Summoner Yuna, from the Isle of Besaid." She greeted, performing the prayer. Sarah copied in the background. "And this is Sorceress Sarah."

The local people who had been listening gasped. "A sorceress? Just like the legend spoke of!" One cried. Another one-stepped forward.

"Thank the heavens that a Summoner and a sorceress would both come to Kilika at such a time!" He spoke with delight.

Yuna smiled politely. "If there are no other summoners here, allow me to perform the sending. Sarah, could you bless the bodies? Before I send them?"

Hao, who had been listening in the background, frowned. "Bless them?" He asked.

Sarah turned to face him. "Now would be a good time to try out the book I gave you. Page 56." She told him simply.

Hao grumbled to himself and pulled the book out, scanning for page 56. He eventually found it.

Sorceresses are often known for their special skills in helping bless, or cleanse the bodies of dead ones. Blessing the bodies basically means to free them all parasites and make sure that in future, they won't rot.

More so, Sorceresses use this skill during burials or sendings, to make sure that the bodies won't infect other nearby bodies. It's important also to bless them BEFORE sending the spirits inside them. The spirits are less likely to come back as something evil if they don't make it to the Farplane.

Hao frowned. He knew what the Farplane was properly now, a place where the dead go. That explained why he ended up there. He looked up to see whether Sarah would agree to bless the bodies.

She nodded. "I'd be honoured."

Hao followed Sarah and the others to see how Blessing worked. They got to the water edge of a broken deck. He watched as Sarah sat down by the water edge, her legs crossed. She held her sword necklace in her hands by the string. Hao gasped at what happened next. Sarah started to slowly lift from the ground and seemed to float across towards the bodies that were laid in a neat circle under the water. The sunset made Sarah's necklace glitter. She gently unfolded her legs when she got to her destination. Her feet however, never touched the water. She raised her necklace above her head. It started glowing.

Next thing Hao knew, the bodies within their cases started glowing too. The water surrounding her started spinning like ribbons around her. She floated higher above the water, her eyes closed in concentration. Then her eyes flashed open. The water seemed to freeze for a second, before exploding into tiny water droplets. Sarah gently crossed her legs again and held her necklace close to her heart as she floated backwards towards the dock. As she reached the dock, she collapsed. Everyone gasped and tried to catch her. Hao got there first, grabbing her by the arms tightly so she wouldn't slip. Sarah opened her eyes and smiled at him.

"That's only the second time I've done a blessing." She explained. "I'm not quite use to it. It drains my energy."

The local who had spoken with Yuna and Sarah before came up to them. "Sorceress Sarah must get her rest." He said firmly. Hao nodded and helped Sarah to her feet. Before taking Sarah indoors, he turned around to watch Yuna walking on the water towards the bodies all set to do the sending…


That's it so far! Please tell me what you think! And once again, NO FLAMERS!
