Chapter 13: Return to the World Above
Wait if I'm here then Rikku must think I'm like dead or something by now, I've gotta finish this quick and find them. "What's wrong, you seem distracted, to worried about your precious Rikku to fight," I heard the man say, snapping me back into the fight and out of my thoughts. I shoved him back out of the lock our blades were in. "I'll kill you, this is all your fault, your causing all this bad luck, and if you didn't exisit I never probably would have ended up here in the first place," I yelled while I attacked this man that looked so much like me relentlessly. He blocked every blow but was pushed back slightly with every blow. "Yes, your right I have caused most of your bad luck and if I wasn't here you wouldn't be here but that means you'd still be weak and sitting there at your home like a lazy bum," he said as my anger with him grew and I swung harder and harder pushing him back more and more. Then once when I swung with my blade of darkness and scaved off his blade he suddenly jumped back grabing his foot in pain. "What the hell did you just do," he asked me but I was unsure myself. Did that hurt him, but how, I didn't hit him with the blade, wait I think I get it. I began laughing,just a little at first then almost to point where it was hysterical. "You don't realize what you've done do you, well even if you don't, I do and thats all that matters, now prepare to die,"
Now he was laughing, "You can't beat me, you can barely beat the fiends I sent after you," he said as I charged at him. He prepared himself for my attack but I quickly stopped and stabbed my blade of darkness into the seemingly invisible ground causing a wall of darkness that was impassable to rise up. I quickly ran to the other side since he could no longer see where I was. I slashed him in the back and he jumped away again. "How, this is impossible," he said falling onto one knee. "I don't have time to fight you, and you really should know that fighting someone with a sword that can control darkness in the darkness is suicidal," I said swinging my sword causing a swirling ball of darkness to consume him and fly away. "Well, that probably didn't kill him but he's gone for now," I said wondering how to get out of this place. I looked around but still saw nothing but black in every direction. I decided that up would be the best way to go and jumped as high as I could which ended up with me hitting my head on an invisible roof. "Ow what the... now what do I do, oh idea," I said deciding to try and use my sword to open up the roof. It worked and I came out somewhere extremely close to the Calm lands. I looked at my watch and realized that the total time that I was knocked out and fighting myself it was already morning.
I ran up the hill that looked out over the calm lands. I was amazed, they looked so peaceful in comparison to the rest of Spira. I then saw the others already near the end of the calm lands. It looked like a long ways and I doubted that I could catch up very fast. Then I heard a strange squealing noise. I looked down over the cliff edge where it had come from. Hmm a chocobo, if I can catch that thing maybe I can get a quick ride across the Calm lands, I tought trying to slide down the side of the cliff as quietly as possible. I stopped whenever the chocobo looked at me so as not to make it suspicious. Finally I got close enough that I could jump onto its back and I lunged out and managed to jump on. It let out a squeal and took off running. I managed to hang on and steer it towards the oppisite side of the Calm Lands. We were coming up behind the others when the chocobo suddenly stopped and sent me flying over its head and facxe first into the ground. The loud thump behind them caused the group to turn around. "Dumb Chocobo," I mumbled getting up and dusting myself off. But I was back on the ground, on my back this time, in less tthen a second after finishing my sentence. Rikku had jumped on me and was now hugging me tightly and nearly crying. "We thought you were dead," she said finally getting off me and helpingme stand up. "Oh come on, it takes more then a punch in the face from that wimpy Seymour to hurt me, thought that did hurt a bit," I said rubbing cheek remembering the blow Seymour had elt me after I cut his hair. "Well, now that we're all back together shall we continue," I said after a few moments of silence.
They nodded and we continued walking. I started to think again, What was with that guy he seemed confident that I couldn't beat him like he knew he was going to survive. Oh well, I'll dealk with him once we meet again, and next time he won't be so lucky, I grined as we were approached by two guado and old withered Tromell and prepared my self for a fight. Then I realized something, This journey is almost over, its about half-way done, what if I disappear like Tidus does?
Yes thats a shorter chapter but I still need to plan out a bit more stuff so I decided to write a shorter chapter and continue planning, don't worry I'll update pretty soon. Pleez review.
