Mi'ihen Highroad and Rin of Al Bhed

Okay Chapter 2 here!

R&R please!

The sky was dark. The cold bitter winds are blowing toward north. The land was consist of a plateau with each side have deep valley. On the middle of the road, there was a boy, not more than 16 years of age, lying down with the body facing toward the wooden bridge.

"Ohhh..." I groaned.

My head was heavy as if the world was upon my head. The last thing I remember, I was standing from the Highway before Sin swallows me up.

I stand up and look around my surrounding. Tidus and Auron were nowhere. The Vulcan rapier was still in my hand. I was in nowhere. I never saw this place before. As I looked on the horizon beyond the bridge, ahouse was at the distance. I decided to walk there.

"God... How in the world I got here?" I questioned myself.

Suddenly, a brown wolf jump toward me. I evade to the right and rise up my Vulcan rapier. The wolf was behaving strangely as if the evil have lurked inside it.

"What the...the dog is mad!"

I slashed the dog with my rapier but instead of falling dead; it's rose up and charge at me. I blocked the claw with the rapier and counter slash on it again. Several minutes have been passed and I was getting tired from fighting the wolf. This was not an ordinary wolf. The wolf tore on my right and I fell back to the ground.

BANG.

BANG.

The wolf was pushed back to the ground and was dead. Instead of blood pouring out of its body, several colour wisps went floating out from the body. I turned my face to the person who saved my life. He was

"Hello there. Are you alright?" The man asked.

"Uh yeah, thanks for that help" I bowed to him.

"No worry. You looked like you have a trouble so I help"

"Heh, I really need that actually. Where exactly I am?"

"Huh? You are in Mi'ihen Highroad." The man said with a tone of worry.

"Mi'ihen Highroad? I never heard of it before."

"What? How come? Where are you from if you don't know where the heck you are?"

"I don't know. I came from Zanarkand."

"Say that again?"

"I came from Zanarkand."

"You got to be kidding me. Zanarkand had been destroyed 1000 years ago."

"Huh?"

"There is no Zanarkand you dimwit. Everyone knows that. It had been destroyed by Sin."

"No way! I was in Zanarkand before I was swallowed up by that gigantic monster or as you called Sin!"

"What? You were near Sin? That explains it."

"What do you mean?"

"You have been diseased by Sin's Toxin. Now I am supposed to say "Bless upon Yevon" but I ain't that kind of guy."

"I have been what?"

"You have been diseased by Sin's Toxin."

"Sin...what again?"

"Whoa, I can explain you right now but it's getting dark. We better head to my base. It's not so far from here. You only need to cross the bridge, walk a few miles and then you reach my home."

As the strange man walk off the bridge, I was horrified with thefact hegiven to me. Zanarkand is gone. "No way", I thought. I can't see how in the world I am here if Zanarkand was destroyed 1000 years ago. I mean, I am here with flesh and blood. I thought it was better if I follow him.

"Oh, by the way, my name is Rin, an Al Bhed merchant at your service." He said as well he bowed down to me.

"Al Bhed?"

"Oh sorry, I forgot your memory has been damaged."

"Ah, it's okay. I need your help anyway."

We were nearly reached our destination when there is a rumbling sound along the way. A very huge ape-like was running very fast and was holding something in its hand.

"Arrgghh...that fiend again! Now I need to blast him away from my chocobo farm!" swore Rin as he took aim of the monster with his rifle gun.

"Now sonny, what is your name again?" he asked.

"Ah...Sieg. Sieg Valcin." I muttered to him as I stared at the monster. It was too big for a man to handle it. Not to mention the height is roughly equal to dual storey building. No way could Rin handle this.

"Can you fight with your rapier, Sieg?" He shouted as he shot the monster.

"Err...yeah!" I shouted back at him. The monster react the attack from Rin by trying to bash him with its massive hand. Rin managed to evade before its hit him.

"Then help me!"

"How!"

"Do anything to distract him from me! I can't shoot very well with him stomping on me!"

Suddenly, alarm rang in my head. By instinct, I jumped to the right as the hand smashed on my left. This monster was fast despite its bulkiness. I charged toward its left side and slashed through it. The monster howled in pain and immediately started to kick me in very fast speed. I parried the first blow and felt its crushing power against my rapier. I closed my eyes as I know I m going to be hit with its next blow.

"Sonic Boom!" shouted Rin.

Instead of hitting me, the monster was forcefully pushed back on the ground by unseen force. Wasting no time, I jumped onto the monster chest and tried to slash him.

"Wait! Don't jump on it!" Rin shouted as he takes another aim on the monster.

Too late. I was already on top of him when he rise up with huge force that I was pushed back to the ground painfully. It was so painful that my anger was rising up. Without realising what I m doing, words come out from my mouth.

"Flametongue!"

My rapier was imbued with fire. By instinct, I rise up and move to the left side of the monster and evading its attack at the same time. I immediately tore the monster and burned its torn side. The monster wailed and jumped with such force on the ground. I fell back from the shockwave while Rin tripped on the ground. After that, the monster ran away down to the right side of the valley.

"You are very good with the sword, son." Rin praised at me while he regained his footing.

"No, it was your gun and skills that saved me." I spoke in embarrassment. I don't like praise. It's just very silly.

"Ah... No need to be modest. Heck, I couldn't shoot that fiend if you didn't keep him busy."

"Again, you called that monster 'fiend'. What is fiend?"

"Ah, fiend is a spawn from the dead souls."

"You are confusing me. I don't get your meaning"

"All right, let us be in my base before I'll explain everything. It's getting dark and cold here" He walked down to the path where a small house with a small tower on top of the roof. There was a signboard named 'Al Bhed Shop'. At the back of the house, several large yellow bird with big legs were playing around in the hedge.

"What the heck is that animal? I never have seen it before." I asked Rin.

"Those birds are called chocobos. Non-flying birds but have fast feet that can outrun fiends. These birds are also our basic transportation but we Al Bhed sometime use machina transportation."

"Machina?" I asked

"Hey, try to relax. Everything will be explained to you when we're inside, okay?" said Rin.

"Oh sorry" I blushed.

"Never mind, I know you are curious. No harm done" Rin replied as he opened the door.

There was one large room with a hallway at the right top of the house. Many items were stored on the shelves at every part of the wall. There was a counter at the front of the room with a girl with no more 15 years of age. She got a short brown hair with a cute face.

"Re Kay fa ryja y haf jecedun rana!" Rin said to her as soon he entered the room.

"Fa'na lmucat, Rin! Fro oui pnehk y licdusan?" She replied. "Ur yht dryd fiend lysa pylg pid dryhg oui vun gaabehk res yfyo!"

"Huh?" As soon as I entered the house, they were speaking in some strange language that I never heard of.

"Opppsss, forgot you can't understand our language, Sieg" Rin apologized.

"Ah, sorry about that, mister. We are closed for tonight but since you were brought here by Rin, what can I do for you?" said the girl.

"Ra mucd rec sasuno, Kay. Ra tuh'd ghuf fryd kuehk uh rana yht ra haatc nacd. Cu tuh'd vunla res oad." Rin said to her.

"Oh sorry, I didn't know you were sick. Forgive me. Well, I'm off to Home, Rin. See ya later!" She waved to Rin and me and opened the door.

"Ah, it's all right. I am confused, that all." I replied.

"Kay, are you sure you will be all right?" Rin asked.

"Yeah, I will be fine. I am going to meet Rikku. She said she has something to show it to me!" She replied and ran off.

Rin turned to me and said,"It's been a day, Sieg. I know you have lots of question to ask, but we need bath first. Let's me show you around the house" Few minutes later, he showed me the bathroom, guestroom and the rest of the house. I had a feeling that I would be stuck here for a while. I wonder what Auron and Tidus doing right now. Did they manage to be in this world safe and sound? I hope I could meet them in the future and thought how to go back to our world again but first I need a bath.

Next Chapter: Luca and Blitzball

Hoookay...man, I hope this chapter is okay. I was in hurry because I was packing my things for going back to home! I know it's a bit messy. But oh well…

Review pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I NEED it. I know it is TOO short.

Ah btw, Kay is a new character. For her skills, I think I gonna borrow from one of my friend's story because I love transformation thingy. (SPOILER for a next few chapters: She will unleash her power when Home is under attack)

PS: the battle was TOO short and not making too much sense, right? Oh and I need to think of an excuse about Sieg's flametongue. It is supposed to be normal skill. NOT an overdrive.

Again. Iwas in hurry. Sorry for the crappy chapter.
