Kyle/Alyssa Saga Chapter XVIII:
"Yo ho, and a bottle of Joe, I say we go, to Kokomo, where it does not snow, at least says Moe, um… ho, ho, garden hoe!" Pellang sang all pirate-like, with the constant usage of rhyming o's. "Gya ha har!" I had a son, once!" Pellang yelled. 'Wow. Someone actually fucked THAT. It's unbelievable… I wonder what the poor child looks like…' Kyle thought.
"Once?" Alyssa asked curiously. "Yar! Once! However, he left to become a pirate like me! Yar! I think he be dead!" Pellang yelled. "…And what's your son's name?" Dark asked. "It be Pelland! He says he be the finest pirate to ever sail the thirty-nine seas, he left home, and me hasn't heard a word o' him!" Pellang exclaimed. "Well, if we see him, we'll let you know…" Alyssa stated. "Yar! That t'would be nice!" Pellang exclaimed, before going back to singing.
"Yo ho, and a bottle of Joe, I say we go, to Kokomo, where it does not snow, at least says Moe, Ho ho garden hoe, Yo ho ho, I like fried dough, I lost a toe, my dog's name's Bow, Yo, ho ho… (And it kind of kept going like that…)" Pellang sang.
"Anyways…about my past…" Dark resumed…
…Many years earlier…
Dark was normal Grandville citizen who had an interest in battle. As soon as he hit age seven, he began fighting and honing his skills, and soon mastered his other transformations, as well. Over the years, he worked his way up the stadium levels, until he finally reached the sixteenth level. Of course, that was when his life went wrong…
…Five years earlier…
…He couldn't do anything but watch as the men came to his house. They killed his children with single swings of their blades, and they took his wife to be hung. They let him live, but not after branding his arm…
…Back to normal time…
"I'm…so… sorry." Alyssa said. "It's not your fault, so why are you apologizing?" Dark asked. "…Is it really such a crime to believe that I'm not evil?" Kyle asked angrily. "Those mother fuckers are going to pay… starting with Kirth, the reason for this all…" He exclaimed through gritted teeth.
"Now, would you care to inform me on your pasts?" Dark asked. Kyle nodded. "It's a long story… but it started like this…" He began.
Kyle then explained everything… from the very beginning. From the first time he met Alyssa seven years ago, to Ace's and Amelgard's backstabbing deal to do Kyle in, the way everyone in Alizano except Alyssa and Michelus treated Kyle, Ace murdering Michelus, and the events seven years later, Ace's second attack, the town exiling him, and Alyssa, too, for sticking up for him, the town burning down after they left, the run through the forest, the destruction that the rogues have caused, the encounter with the demon, all the way until they reached Grandville and met Dark…
"Whoa. That was a long story… far longer than mine… you two have great respect from me." Dark said. Kyle and Alyssa nodded. "Sometimes, we just want to forget the past entirely, but we have each other, so we have nothing we want to forget." Alyssa explained, and Kyle nodded. "…Hm… do you think that this Ace guy is following you?" Dark asked. Kyle thought about this for a minute. "Now that I think about it, I'm surprised he hasn't caught up with us already, but now we're safe." Kyle said.
…Meanwhile…
"Damn. We missed the boat." Ace said unemotionally. "Great. Now how do we get to him…and are you even sure that he went to that island?" Josh asked. "I'm positive." Ace replied. "Besides, once on the island, he can't go anywhere… so we'll just wait for the boat's return…" He then added. "Great idea… now all we need is patience." Josh said.
…Back on the ship…
"Yar! It be getting dark! The three of ye should go to yer resting quarters for ye night." Pellang exclaimed. The three nodded. "Where are the rooms?" Dark asked. "Up the stairs, around the top of the ship, and to the back. There are many single-bedded rooms, so you'll all have to sleep separately." Pellang explained. 'Great.' Both Kyle and Alyssa though sarcastically. Dark already got used to being in his own room. And so, the three just went to their rooms.
"Good night…" Kyle said to Alyssa before going into his room. "Good night…" Alyssa replied, going into her room.
…Fifteen minutes later…
Kyle was staring at the ceiling. He didn't need sleep, as it wasn't required of him. He didn't do much walking today; he'd just been on a giant yacht all day long. However, the real reason he couldn't sleep was because Alyssa wasn't close. He couldn't take it anymore. He went outside to the back of the ship. The stars were out, and reflected on the water, making a dazzling scene. However, what really made it dazzling was the fact that Alyssa was already out there, sitting down on a chair, and watching the stars.
"Can't sleep?" Kyle asked, sitting in the chair next to her. "No. Not without you in the room." Alyssa replied. "…Ya know, the stars and the waves… they're quite calming." Kyle said. "Definitely." Alyssa replied. "Are you staying out here all night?" Kyle asked. "It's the only way I might be able to sleep without you in the room." Alyssa replied. "Well then, I'm staying out here all night with you." Kyle said. Alyssa turned to him, eyes widened. "You'd do that?" She asked. Kyle nodded. "For you, I'd do anything." He said, going to her side, and watching the stars with her, while listening to the waves gently crashing against the boat.
It wasn't long before Alyssa fell asleep on his shoulder. Kyle smiled at this. It made him happy that she could sleep at his side. Not needing the sleep, himself, he stayed up all night for her… and they were happy.
