Quillan Games was amazing. Plain amazing…although I saw one part of it coming, it was still probably the best one to date. I'll probably keep my Quillan for this fanfic, and the sequel, but in any other Pendragon ones…Yes I am planning some more, I will use real Quillan. Hmm where did I leave off? Oh yes…Saint Dane recognized Cid. And so we go!
"What the hell are you talking about?" Cid yelled. "That's impossible! I've never been here in my life!" Saint Azarus chuckled.
"Really, now." Saint Azarus suddenly began to transform. His red cloak turned into a gray suit, and his hair lit on fire. Azarus's hair quickly burned away, and revealed his scalp, bearing very, very familiar red lightning bolt scars. The new figure laughed manically.
"Saint Dane," Spader said. "It was only a matter of time until you showed your true form." Saint Dane chuckled again.
"You…!" Cid said. "I've seen your face before!"
"Of course you have, you insolent fool," Saint Dane said. "You used to be my assassin after all."
"A…ssassin?"
Cid said, in denial. "Impossible!"
"Impossible?" Saint
Dane said. "I don't think so. After all, it's the truth." Cid
wasn't taking this well.
"I won't believe you!" he yelled at the demon Traveler. The demon chuckled in reply.
"Believe me or not, Cid," Saint Dane hissed. "You used to work for me. After all, both of us have the Ibaran tattoo on our backs." Saint Dane removed his grey suit coat, and white shirt underneath and turned around. On his back was the tattoo of a red snake entwined in flames. Cid gasped as he took off his shirt, revealing the same tattoo.
"I never thought Saint Dane would actually be a Traveler…" Spader said, talking to himself quietly. "But I guess this place is fitting for a demon."
"And," Saint Dane said, not done with Cid. "You were also my acolyte."
"No!" Cid yelled. "I won't accept that! I would have never worked with you!"
"Really?" Saint Dane said. "Let me prove that you did." He walked closer to Cid, and placed a hand on his forehead. Instantly, a rush of energy flew through Cid's head as long forgotten memories arose.
In the Tower of Flames, Saint Dane appears. Alongside him is a man, about six feet tall. He wears a red cape, and all black underneath. His long hair is under a headband, and his eyes are cold and unforgiving. He followed the demon Traveler through the tower. They stopped in a large room, where Saint Dane sat down on a throne.
A tall visitor appeared. He wore bright clothes, and a sword was in his hands. He was one of the Saints of Ibara.
"Kill him," Saint Dane said to his assassin. The assassin stepped forward, and pulled a hilt of a sword out from under his cape. With a flick of the assassins wrist, a long, thin blade appeared. Quickly, almost invisibly, the assassin slashed the blade down from the mans face down, all the way to his legs. The cut was extremely deep, and the man barely survived to live another moment.
"Excellent, my acolyte." Saint Dane said, as another Saint entered. But this time it wasn't a Saint. It was now a Traveler. A Traveler named Press Tilton.
"Stop, Cid." he said. "This isn't your true destiny. If you want to find your real self, find me." With that, Press disappeared.
So this isn't the life for me, Cid, the assassin, thought. I wonder if I should seek that man out…
"I must leave," Cid said. "This isn't my true calling." he dropped the sword onto the ground with a clatter and he left the tower, forever. "Press Tilton," he said, loudly to the air. "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU GONE?" Cid stared around Ibara, along the cliffs, and saw nothing. "Damn it, Press! I realized my mistakes! Now come the hell here! Please!" There was no response. "The flume," realized Cid. "I need to use the flume." Cid walked down the cliff, to the large gate that contained the flume. "Now, where would he be?" He thought for a moment. "Of course, Second Earth! I've been to all the other Territories with Saint Dane.." he faced the flume, and yelled out the name of the foreign territory. As the magical notes began to pick up, and the flume picked him up, Cid knew he had made the correct decision as to his fate. He didn't think that killing for evil would do him any good. Optimistic thoughts such as that filled Cid's head as the flume sent him from the territory of flames to the unknown land that was Second Earth.
As the flume ride ended and the magical music that had calmed Cid down the entire journey abruptly ended, Cid landed in a dark, cramped space.. A door, with a blue star engraved in the center of the door was the only familiar thing in sight. As he stepped towards the door and opened it, something whizzed past him, faster than a rocket. Cid jumped backwards, and as soon as the…thing passed, he stepped over the rails of the long room to the other side. The man he wanted to see the most was standing on the other side, looking calm.
"Cid," he said with a small smile. "You decided to come." Cid nodded, and stepped closer to Press Tilton.
"Yes," he replied. "I regret the things that I have done, and I want to change it. How do I do it?"
"I'm going to erase your memory, Cid." Press said. "It's the only way. This way, you won't do anything stupid since you regret what you have done. Do you still want to continue?" Cid nodded, even though he had too many memories he didn't want to forget. But this time was over now. He had to start a new life.
Press stepped towards Cid, and placed a hand on his head. "I would be around to help you, Cid, but I cannot. I feel that the end of my life is coming. If you need help, search out the Traveler named Bobby Pendragon. He will guide you." Cid nodded as Press muttered strange words under his breath. "Goodbye, Cid." he said, and said one final word. There was a blast of strong, white light, and everything Cid had ever remembered, his childhood, his friends, his only true love, was all erased forever. As soon as he opened his eyes, Press Tilton had disappeared, and Cid was on his own.
"Oh my GOD!" yelled Cid as his forgotten memories collided with his current identity. "I'm GAY! I'm GAY! Ewww!" He started to run around in circles crazily. "That has got to go." he said. "Sorry, Raux, but I have NO feelings for you anymore!" he yelled to the sky. Saint Dane chuckled, and spoke.
"So," he said. "Cid. What do you think of your past?" Cid became serious.
"It really is the truth." he said sadly. "I was really an assassin."
"Of course! But now Cid, I have an opportunity for you. I am giving you the chance to join up with me again, to destroy all of Halla! What do you say?"
He thought about this for a long time. After all, he now had all his weapon techniques from before at his disposal. "No," he said finally. "I won't." Saint Dane wasn't surprised.
"I thought you would say that. Oh well, you were useless anyways. I now have a new assassin. Meet….Pendragon." From the shadows, a figure appeared, and Spader, Serenity and Patrick gasped. A cloaked figure, with his hood down was standing in front of them. He had long brown hair that went down to about his eyes, and his blue eyes were cold, as if he had no emotions within him.
"Bobby," Spader said, still not believing his best friend had joined the dark side.
"Vo Spader." he replied heartlessly. "How nice to see you." From his belt, Bobby pulled out a small item. With the flick of his wrist, he realized was it was. It was a sword, the same exact sword that Cid had used before he had his memories erased. Sword in hand, Bobby jumped into the air and lunged at Spader, blade pointed right at his face!
A/N: I feel a long authors note coming up. Ok, that was definitely NOT my best chapter. It was really short, and it was not my best writing either. Its one of those chapters that looks really good in your head, but sucks when it comes on paper. Tell me honestly if it was any good. I'll take flames. Umm…I've noticed that the two people who have my story on their favorites list don't even review…well I guess ruthie did one time…by the way ruthie, the Cid plot twist came to my head because of your review. So thanks, it was a nice plot twist. So, to tum-tigger and sabriel-terrigan, if you would review it would make me happy. Now its time to thank the loyal reviewers. Inu.Rox, PotatoPuff, and beliver07747. Sorry it took so long for me to make a short chapter, so I'll start the next one really fast and hopefully finish it soon. Seeya next chapter!
