Hao's new destiny. Part 12.
Hao gawped at the whole group in absolute shock. They hadn't noticed him yet, and were busy rubbing their new cuts and bruises. Eventually, Yoh spoke up.
"Um… hello?"
Hao actually roared in anger. "IS THAT ALL YOU CAN SAY! YOU LOT BELIEVE THAT I'VE BEEN DEAD FOR THREE YEARS, THEN OUT OF THE BLUE YOU DROP FROM THE SKY RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS SAY HELLO?"
Yoh grinned weakly and stepped back, tripping over Manta. Manta wailed, then froze.
"H…Hao!" He cried, jumping up and panicking in chibi mode. Immediately, the rest of the group jumped up, almost squashing Wakka to death. Suddenly, Sarah cried out, "Jenn-Chan!"
A girl Hao didn't recognise suddenly looked up, with a startled look. Then she screamed in shock.
"SARAH-CHAN! YOU'RE OKAY!" She cried and the two of them started leaping around whilst laughing. Hao sweat dropped.
"Er… who's that?" Hao mumbled. Yoh smiled sheepishly.
"Didn't Sarah tell you? Before she had to come here, she hung out with us. Jenn-Chan's a shaman, so Sarah and her hung out together whilst we were helping Sarah with her training. Jenn-Chan and Sarah have been friends for ages." Yoh explained in one sentence.
Suddenly, bits of the puzzle started to fix together. That was how Sarah had known about him early on. That's how she knew about his past. That's how she knew about him and Yoh being twins…
Before Hao could continue with his list, and voice suddenly roared. "Hao! Why are you still alive when Yoh killed you three years ago!" It was Lyserg. He had his homing pendulum pointing in Hao's direction.
"Ready Morphine?" He cried, obviously unaware that shaman's were unable to contact their spirits in Spira. The pendulum glowed for a few seconds, before it went back to normal. Lyserg looked horrified.
Ren looked almost worried. "Bason!" He called. Nothing happened. Horo-Horo now looked on the verge of crying. "Where's Kokoro?"
"Where are our shaman spirits!" Ren suddenly bellowed, grabbing hold of Hao, obviously thinking he was the source of the problem. Hao chocked before gasping, "I can't even contact the Spirit of fire, so don't blame me!" Ren sighed angrily and let go of his collar.
"Are you lot that thick?" A familiar voice snapped. Anna was still sat on top of Wakka, who was grumbling to himself. Anna stood up (and stepped on Wakka's feet in the process), and said, "Don't you remember Sarah saying about how there was a force that blocked our contact with our Shaman spirits in this world?"
Ryu scratched his head, before mumbling, "No…"
Anna rolled her eyes. "Hopeless…"
Jenn-Chan ignored them. "So Sarah, what happened since you got here? Or more importantly, what's Hao doing here?"
Sarah sighed. "The thing is… I'm not sure how Hao ended up here. Unless he's unsent…"
Suddenly, Chocolove jumped in. "Hao's a ghost! He got here on a ghost train!" Then he cracked up. Tidus laughed weakly, before sweat dropping, and saying, "That wasn't really funny you know…"
Chocolove looked offended. Ren pointed out to Tidus, "None of his jokes are that funny." Yuna just laughed politely.
"That was… kinda funny…" She lied politely. She didn't like putting people down. Chocolove brightened up. "Really!"
Anna coughed and snapped, "Save the chit chat for later. Right now, we have to figure out what to do for the time being whilst we're here."
"Maybe we should just… chill out until we can be of any help?" Yoh suggested. Anna glared at him, before slapping him. Hard.
"Is chilling out all you ever think about!" She snapped angrily. Lulu laughed softly. "Feisty attitude. Just be careful not to act like that whilst you're here."
Anna grumbled and walked towards the exit.
"Wait!" Sarah called. "I still need to… speak to my parents…"
Jenn-Chan suddenly looked sad. "Whilst I'm here, I might as well see mine… no thanks to you!" She added, giving Hao a dirty glare.
Hao's past memories of all those years ago came flooding back. He suddenly realised who this Jenn-Chan was. He remembered killing her parents when they'd refused to join him. Just like Lyserg's parents…
"It's okay Jenn-Chan." Lyserg mumbled, putting his arm around Jenn-Chan for comfort. She went a little red and smiled weakly.
Sarah turned around to face the open sky, before screwing her eyes up tightly…
Hao watched as the figures of Sarah's parents formed in front of their very eyes. Hao felt guilt riddled as Jenn-Chan also called for her parents.
Why had he been so evil?
Later…
"So, what are the others going to do whilst they're here?" Hao asked later. Sarah sighed with a smile.
"They've decided to go to stay at the Moonflow." She told him. "They don't want to create a giant horde by joining Yuna, so they want to stay around for a bit and get use to the surroundings."
Hao nodded as they walked down the stairs that lead away from the Farplane. Suddenly, loads of gasps were heard. Hao and Sarah turned around to the entrance of the Farplane. A man surrounded by Pyreflies was trying to fight his way out. Hao frowned, then he mumbled, "Hey, isn't that the Jyscal guy?"
Everyone looked horrified. Hao suddenly realised what was so bad about this. Was this guy supposed to be sent? Why had he come back now?
Auron seemed to read his mind! The minute he thought this, he explained, "This usually means Jyscal's death wasn't a clean death."
Hao gasped. "So… you think he was murdered?"
Auron just nodded. "I don't know why, but… it's the most likely explanation there is. But, I haven't got any idea's on who could have killed him…"
Hao nodded, but then he frowned as Yuna stepped forward to do a sending. He turned away, not wanting to watch. He was thankful that Sarah didn't have to do another blessing.
Eventually, they were able to leave the Farplane, after receiving about 20 continuous naggings from the Guado telling them not to mention to anyone else about Lord Jyscal.
Hao decided to take one more look around Guadosalam. She spotted Rikku, who was sat on the edge of a pathway like bridge, and whimpering slightly. Tamao (the pink haired girl) was sat next to her, trying to comfort her. Hao walked towards them. Tamao flinched slightly when she saw him, but stayed in her spot. Rikku just whispered sadly, "After this, we've got to cross the Thunder Plains! I hate that place…"
Hao didn't bother saying anything. He still didn't understand Rikku properly, so thought maybe Tamao would be best to deal with the situation.
He found the group again, who were crowded around in a circle just outside the Mansion. He noticed both Sarah and Tidus weren't there.
"Er, where's Sarah?" He asked Yuna. Yuna just pointed to the Mansion. "She went back inside to speak to Seymour about the whole… proposal. She insisted on going in alone." Hao nodded, but then noticed that Yuna was hiding something in her hands.
"Er, what's that? Some kind of machina?" He asked her. Yuna quickly hid it from his view behind her arms and whispered, "It's an old sphere recording. I found it on the floor from when I sent Jyscal."
Hao nodded. At that moment, Tidus ran forward. "Hey!" He cried. The others all turned to face him. "That woman, you know, Shelinda? She just told me that Seymour…"
"It's Maester Seymour." Wakka interrupted. Tidus just waved his hand with inpatients.
"Whatever, anyway, he left for Macarena Temple." He finished off with a grin.
Wakka sweat dropped. "Macalania." He corrected Tidus.
"Aye!" Tidus and another voice called at the same time. Sarah had just walked out of the Mansion, obviously aware that Seymour wasn't home.
"So I guess we need to set off through the Thunder Plains then." Yuna mumbled knowingly. Rikku looked like she was about to burst into tears.
"Hey Hao." Yoh suddenly called. Him and his friends were all now walking towards the Moonflow. "We might be seeing you around!"
Hao smiled weakly. "Okay then." He called back. "Bye!" Then he and the others all turned around, heading into the Thunder Plains.
Rikku wailed as they entered the huge bumpy dark landscape that was most definably the Thunder Plains. There were huge towers that were absorbing most of the lightning strikes, but some found there way to the ground, sending loud crashing sounds echoing throughout the area. Hao could tell straight away why Rikku didn't like this place.
It was electrifying.
Sarah looked mesmerised. It was like the lightning was trying to attract her attention.
Yuna seemed in a world of her own, but eventually she mumbled, "Let's go."
Rikku called out nervously, "Can't we just wait for it to stop?" Auron rolled his eyes. "This lightning never stops. If you want to waste more time, then you can stay here."
Hao bit his lip. Auron was being a little harsh, wasn't he? But it worked. Eventually, Rikku just cried, "Aww… you meanie!" Before running after the group, almost in tears.
Hao laughed. "Woah… she really does hate lightning…"
"No kidding Doctor Who." Sarah mumbled, watching as Rikku slowly stepped out into the open, before screaming and running towards the closest tower before the others could blink.
This could take a while…
