Hello again. It's come to my attention that this story will be more of a mixture of some of the things from some other Final Fantasy games. Here's another scene of comedy. Enjoy.

Chapter 2: The Mage Assassin

Black Mage walked through the library's door. It was a massive building, lined with thousands upon thousands of books. At the time, there weren't that many people in the building. Black Mage walked over to one of the many aisles, and started looking through the books on the shelves.

"Human Torch, no…Lighting Houses on Fire, already know how…Burning down a Town: A Raider's Story, maybe later," Black Mage muttered to himself as he looked at the books in the aisle. "None of these books are what I'm searching for." Black Mage moved to another aisle and examined the books there. "Reviving the Fallen, no need…Holy Magic for the Masses, not a chance…Curing Fire Wounds, why bother?" Black Mage again whispered to himself. He headed to another aisle, skipped over it because someone was already in the aisle, and found another empty aisle to search through. "Raising the Dead, not my thing…How to Control Skeletons, eh, wrong aisle." Black Mage once again began searching through another aisle. "Black Mages Can Be Nice, yeah, right…A Black Mages Perfect Women, close…How to Be Nice to Girls: A Black Mages Story, found it," Black Mage said quietly to himself, picking up the book.

He walked over to the librarian's desk and placed the book on the counter. She looked at the book, and then at Black Mage and said happily, "Found a girl did you?"

"Don't say anything," Black Mage said quickly. "Can I just buy the book? I have a feeling I won't be coming back here anytime soon."

"Ohh, I know what you mean," the librarian said giggling.

"No, you don't," Black Mage responded somewhat angrily.

"If you want to buy it, then it'll be 1200 Gil," the librarian said happily.

"1200 Gil!" Black Mage said angrily. "That's outrageous. How about 500?"

"It's 1200," the librarian said, removing the smile from her face, and replacing it with an angry smirk. "Take it or leave it. This is a very rare book. It's hard to find anywhere else."

After a few seconds of angry thought, Black Mage made a decision. "Fine," Black Mage said angrily. He paid her the 1200 Gil, and took the book. As Black Mage was at the doors, he whispered, "Hope you're house burns down."

Black Mage was out in the city square again. Now he had to wait for Rouge…wherever the hell he was. Knowing him, he probably found some shop in the alleyways and robbed it. He decided to wait in the square. If Rouge did steal something, he would either A) find him, or B) get caught and cause a whole town disturbance. He stood next to a tree with leaves that kept changing from pink to red, to blue, to violet.

He was standing there for a few minutes before someone bumped into his back. He heard a thud on the ground behind him. Black Mage quickly turned around. "Watch where you're going," Black Mage said angrily. He looked at the person who bumped into him. It was a girl in an assassin outfit. She was in pure black clothes, and she had very small assassin daggers.

"Sorry," The girl said in an annoyed tone. She held her hand out for Black Mage to help her get up, to no avail. Black Mage stood there watching her. "Hey, did you know you have yellow eyes?" She asked still sitting on the grass.

Black Mage turned around and…found her standing in front of him. "What the hell?" He said quickly, turning his head to look at where the girl once was, but the space was unoccupied. He looked back at the girl.

"Why are you're eyes yellow?" the girl asked.

"Go away." Black Mage said quickly, turning around. Again, the girl was standing in front of him. "How the hell do you do that?"

"Ohh, I'm very fast, and very sneaky," the girl said, almost giggling.

"Obviously," Black Mage said. "Why don't you go…wait a minute," Black Mage said quickly realizing something.

"Okay," the girl said quickly.

"Do you have any form of magic in you?" Black Mage asked.

"No," the girl said happily. "Nothing magical about me, except for my almost magical ability to kill mages. I think it's funny."

"Okay," Black Mage said slowly, taking two footsteps away from the girl. She quickly took two footsteps foreword. "How did you get in here?"

"Well, don't tell anyone this, okay," the girl said. Black Mage cocked an eyebrow, not that anyone could notice though. "I was hired to kill this one mage a while ago, so I followed him through the barrier. Afterwards, I completed my mission, but I found out I couldn't leave through the barrier. So I've been stuck here ever since. You won't tell anyone, will you?" She asked the last part as she showed Black Mage one of her assassin blades.

Black Mage ignored her threat, and just slowly asked, "Why would you even tell me that?"

"I feel like I can trust you," the girl said. "I feel like you're the one who will help me out of this town."

"And why would I do that?" Black Mage asked.

"Because I'm a mage assassin. If you don't, then…" the girl said, pulling out one of her daggers and slicing the air around her.

"Fine," Black Mage said slowly. "I'll…help, you escape once we find my…friend," Black Mage spit out the last word.

The two stood there for a few minutes before a man dressed like a black mage quickly walked up. "Hey Black Mage…we gotta go," the man said.

"What the hell did I tell you about stealing from this town?" Black Mage said angrily.

"You didn't say anything, at least anything I heard. Who's that?" Rouge asked, addressing the girl with him.

"That's not important. Why are dressed like a-" Black Mage began to ask.

"I mean now," Rouge said, running towards the town's exit. Black Mage and the girl quickly followed him out.

They reached the barrier. Unlike how there was an illusion on the outside of the barrier, the inside was clear. They could see the forests outside the barrier. Black Mage placed his staff into the ground, and began to chant the same thing as earlier.

"What are you doing?" The girl asked.

"What'd he do to you to make you follow him?" Rouge asked the new girl.

"We actually know each other," the girl lied. "We're longtime friends."

After a few seconds of though, Rouge replied, "That's a horrible lie. Black Mage isn't capable of making friends."

"Really?" the girl asked, somewhat confused. "What about you?"

"Were not friends," Black Mage said, picking up his staff from the ground. "The barriers open." Black Mage and the girl both walked through the barrier, but as Rouge tried to pass through, he hit the barrier….again.

"DAMN IT!" Rouge shouted from the other side. All Rouge heard was laughing.

"That's funny," the girl said after she stopped laughing.

"No…it isn't," Rouge yelled. "But what is funny is this book Black Mage got." The barrier instantly opened up, and Black Mage walked through and grabbed the book out of Rouge's hand, as the assassin snickered.

Black Mage walked back out of the barrier, and announced to the girl, "Assassin, Rouge," gesturing to each one, "Rouge, assassin."

"Hey, Black Mage," Rouge said, almost laughing as he walked out of the barrier. "That's the first step in this book you got. Introductions. Glad to know you're off to a good start."


Tah-Dah! Chapter two is over. If you're wondering if this story will go anywhere…it won't. I don't plan on having some, super-human, unbelievably strong and powerful cliché boss character. This is just a tale in the lives of four people. You've already read about three. Thanks for reading, now review…please?
