A World Deep in Disorder
Chapter Sixty-Two: From Arson to Arashi
Well, like before, nothing much to say. This will be the last chapter of the day, and the last chapter of the Kit saga. WHEEE! THERE'S A THUNDERSTORM OUTSIDE! (Cough… sorry. I get reeeeeally hyper during thunderstorms).
DISCLAIMER: Refer to the previous chapter's disclaimer.
Last Chapter: Kit woke up in an old man's house, discovering that she was in a coma for a year. She also discovered her new Roy transformation, and with it, she's setting out to kill Arson and avenge both her family and Arashi.
Kit Saga Chapter IV:
Saga Final ChapterFor a year after that, Kit wandered the world, taking out silver rogues wherever she went. Becoming stronger and stronger, The now twelve-year-old Kit has decided that now's the time to take out her parents' murderers… and so… the end of her year-long quest comes to a peak… as she reaches the southern region… and the area where Arson is said to be.
This was an area of the southern region that actually seemed like it was the northern region. It was a heavily forested part that seemed somewhat like a marsh. Kit was lost and confused… deep inside the area where she had no clue of which direction she was going. However, she then realized that she was close. As she kept walking, she came across this area that was completely burned. The forest was all ashes and such… definitely the work of Arson.
Kit sighed, and looked upon that which was once a thriving forest. Now… everything was gone… burnt down to the ground. Continuing deeper, and following the trail of destruction and ashes, Kit came upon Arson's stronghold. It was a pretty crude stronghold… just a large stone fortress surrounded by a dried up moat. The ground, what's left of the dead trees, and even the castle itself was all soaked in ash.
This was definitely the stronghold of he who is called Lord Arson.
Kit looked at the drawbridge. This guy didn't use modern style that much. His stronghold seemed to come right out of a fairy tale. A twisted fairy tale, sure… but a fairy tale nonetheless. Still… ever since the evolution and these transformations, everything seems to be from a gigantic epic fantasy that's actually real.
Upon further inspection of the castle, the drawbridge was the only was inside, and about a dozen or so rogues were lined up on it. They appeared to be lazy and inattentive, so Kit did have the element of surprise. However, she didn't have the odds in her favor… 12-1.
She decided to give it a shot, anyway. Transforming into her Roy form, she came out from her hiding spot, and charged the rogues, who didn't seem to have the time to transform. However, right after she cut the first three up into burning pieces, the other nine transformed, and surrounded her, pointing their swords (most of them were links or marths) at her. Kit was about to attack, when a bunch of Link-transformed rogues came from their hiding places in the dead foliage, and aimed their bows at Kit. Seriously outnumbered and in a disadvantaged position, Kit really didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, a large figure came out from the stronghold, and it was none other than Arson, himself. He looked at Kit, and smirked. "You know… I killed someone who looked quite like you two years ago… I believe it was the wife of that scholar fellow I killed…" He laughed. This made Kit angry, and in blind fury, chopped the five rogues in front of her to pieces. This left the remaining four rogues surrounding her dumbfounded, and some of the archers fired at Kit as she ran toward Arson. However, all the arrows seemed to miss. Kit was running full speed at Arson, with only one thing is mind: his death.
However, when she reached Arson, she slashed at him, but he simply caught the blade in one hand, and backhanded Kit with the other, sending her flying to the ground… her vision getting blurry before she went unconscious.
Arson smirked, and transformed back into his human form. "Don't know who she is… but she seems familiar… too familiar. Take her to the dungeon for interrogation. I want to question her myself, later." He commanded. The remaining four rogues that were dumbfounded nodded, and picked up the unconscious Kit; taking her inside.
Kit woke up, her vision still a little blurry. She was in a dungeon of some sort. It was dark… dank. Pretty much everything you'd expect from a dungeon. The ground was covered with a light layer of hay… the ground below it probably made up a very cold stone. A large wooden beam was placed randomly in the center of the cell. Kit then noticed that a chain was locked around her ankle, and tied around the wooden beam, so she couldn't move very far at all.
She was also very tired, and lacked the ability to make any transformations at all. She could here the sounds of water droplets slowly dripping off the ceiling outside the cell, as there were many other cells around, too. It was like a cell complex. Loud and agonizing screams of pain that could've only be yelled by someone who was begging for death could be heard in the distance, far across the cell complex. Screams that caused Kit to shiver.
After a full half an hour, the screaming subsided, and the sounds of chains being dragged were heard in its place. When those noises stopped, another sound could be heard… one that wasn't terrifying.
"K-Kit… is that you…?" A hoarse voice asked. Kit then turned to the source of the voice, it sounded like it came from the cell to her left. There was a single stone missing in the wall between the cells, so Kit could see a pair of sky blue eyes looking into her cell. Sky blue eyes she remembered very well… ones she thought she'd never see again.
"Arashi? I-Is that you?" Kit asked, in a voice that revealed that she wasn't in the top condition, herself. She was still groggy, and her vision was still pretty blurry. Her head also hurt a lot. "Yes… it is!" Arashi replied, sounding relieved. "What are you doing here?" Kit asked. "I wasn't killed… Arson took me prisoner." Arashi replied. "…And what about you?" He then asked. "I… came here to challenge Arson, but apparently, they were expecting me… I was ambushed… and…" Kit began. Arashi shook his head. "Say no more." He stated, and then paused. "You… need to get out of here… I heard the guards talking about interrogating you…" He added.
Kit paused. "Is the interrogation bad?" She asked. Arashi looked horrified, and shook his head. "It's like torture. They did it to me… and now I've lost the ability to use my right arm, and both of my legs… I'm permanently crippled because of it… they do the most horrible things…" He explained.
…Flashback…
"Oh… and Kit… I'd suggest taking this with you…" Shirin stated, holding out a vial. "What's inside?" Kit asked. "Invigoration. It redeems your own energy, and gives you the strength to transform and fight again. It does not, however, heal any crippling wounds you may have taken. It may come of use to you." Shirin explained. Kit took the vial and nodded. "Thank you." She said.
…Back to reality…
Kit took out the vial that Shirin had given her. "Hang on, Arashi… I may be able to get us out of here." Kit stated, drinking the invigoration potion. She suddenly felt her strength return to her rapidly… and her ability to transform suddenly returned. She sighed in relief. She was ready to fight.
The first matter of business was the lock around her ankle. However, all she had to do was slip off her boot, and then wiggle the lock off of the boot, and then slip the boot back onto her foot. Simple as that, the lock was off. Transforming into her Roy form, she used her blade to open the door.
Kit then got out of the cell, and saw none other than Arson walking down the hallway… and unfortunately, he saw Kit, too. Seeing her already in transformation, Arson transformed into his transformation, and readied his burning gauntlets.
Kit readied her blade, and let Arson make the first move. He simply punched the ground, and made a trail of fire travel toward Kit, who dodged out of the way. "Perfect… I was about to interrogate you, anyway… when I'm done with you, you'll be worse off than your little friend." Arson smirked, motioning towards Arashi. Kit then noticed her friend's tortured body… and it filled her with rage. It was kind of obvious why Arashi lost the use of his right arm and legs.
"See that? I did that to him, myself." Arson laughed, making Kit even angrier. The next thing you know, Kit ran wildly at Arson, but her vision was still blurry, and her sword swing was a little to the left, causing her to stumble a bit. Arson simply sidestepped, and hit her on the back with a flaming glove… not only sending her to the ground, but scorching her back's armor, as well.
"Oh well… time to finish you. I thought this would be a tad more fun…" Arson sighed, readying his flaming gauntlets. Kit could only brace for impact, but suddenly, the most unexpected thing happened. Arashi, with his one good arm, threw a knife that he snuck into the cell, with surprisingly good aim, into Arson's shoulder, causing blood to pour out, and for him to stumble in pain.
"You!" Arson exclaimed at Arashi, giving Kit time to get up. "I'm the one you should be worrying about." Kit said, running at Arson at a speed that Arson was unprepared for, giving him a deep gash across the chest.
"Argh! …That's it… Arms of Odin!" Arson exclaimed, as his arms began to ignite as they did when they killed Kit's parents. This only enraged Kit more, but the temperature in the entire stronghold spiked to a feverish level, and Kit began to get weary and felt dehydrated.
"It's over…" Arson yelled, thrusting a flaming arm forward, punching Kit dead in the stomach. Sending her flying backwards, and with a fierce burn. She was now badly burnt and beat up. Arson advanced slowly toward her, and she couldn't get up. "Heh… you did put up a fight… but now it's over." Arson grinned. Suddenly, he tripped upon something. Arashi used his good arm to trip Arson as he walked by.
"Not you again! You're time is up!" Arson exclaimed, readying a fireball in his right hand, and aiming it at Arashi. "Die bastard!" Kit shrieked, stabbing her blade through Arson's skull. During Arashi's distraction, she'd gotten up and made an attack on Arson. "I…Impos..sible…" Arson muttered, coughing out blood, before dying.
Kit withdrew her blade, sheathed it, and transformed back into her human form. "Arashi!" Kit exclaimed, using one of the keys she got off of Arson's corpse to get Arashi's cell open. "I'm ok… nice job, Kit." Arashi replied weakly. "Arashi! I need to get you to help…" Kit said. "No, Kit… you're the one who needs help right now! Look at you! You're wounded…" Arashi exclaimed.
"I'll… be… fine…" Kit said weakly, before passing out.
…Aftermath…
Kit woke up, and found herself and Arashi back in Shirin's hut. "Good to see you're back." Shirin said. "Yeah… I… succeeded." Kit replied, getting up. She'd already felt better. Arashi was there, too. "I need you to try these on… it appears that your eyesight was a bit damaged, so you may need these." Shirin explained, holding up a nice-looking pair of glasses. "That would explain the blurriness…" Kit sighed, putting on the glasses. She could now see clearly. "Perfect! You look good in them, too." Shirin commented. "Thanks… now, how'll Arashi be?" Kit asked. "He's permanently crippled… but I may have something that can cure him… provided that he stays here and lets me take care of him for a few years…" Shirin replied. Arashi nodded. "That would be fine." He said, and Shirin smiled. "I'm happy to hear it." He said.
"Kit…" Arashi began. "Yes, Arashi?" Kit asked. "I've always wanted to become stronger… but most of all… to find my legendary weapon. As of now, that seems impossible. Kit… would you go and fulfill my dream for me?" Arashi asked. Kit nodded, and smiled. "Of course I will… I just need some time to rest here, first…" She stated, with a heavy sigh of relief.
End of SagaWell, This is also a nice chapter, in my opinion. I hoped that you all liked it. Anyways, let me know what you think. I think next I'll write the Tamrin saga. Like the Kirth saga, it'll be a long one-chapter saga of great quality. Anyway…
Until Next Chapter,
