Final Fantasy D: Kingdom to My Heart prt 2 - The Future Yesterday
Ok, now where were we? Oh yeh, 5 pixie girls flying through a portal in what seems to be the U.S. modern time....hmmm, don't know what to make of this. So of course I went through the portal...but that wasn't even just the begining, what happened next was! As I went through the portal, I didn't calculate on having to know how to land, and I fell on one of the girls, a red head.......
"Arg, get off of me! Who are you?" The red head looked at me, angry and confused. "Your one of Phobos' men aren't you? Well, your not going to get the best of us!"
"...Phobo-who???" My confusion at this point knew no bounds...I had never heard that name before.
"Don't act stupid, how else would you know about the portals or how to use them. Why else would you follow us, why els......" She just continued on till the latin girl next to her put her hand over her mouth.
"Will, I don't think she knows anything...you can lay off," This girl seemed to be leveled headed enough, the latin girl that is, "You got to pardon Will, she has been under alot of stress, and with Phobos having new troops like we have never seen, we can't be to careful."
"I understand," no I didn't, "But I have no idea who you are or who you are talking about. I'm...not from around here you could say...kinda....." God, hopefully they didn't take my confusion for me being a poor end spy.
"Really? Coulda fooled me!" The red head, Will spat her words at me. "How do we know that we can trust you?"
Now this was a tough one, how to get these five girls to trust me enough to let me get back to my business. It's not like I could just tell them my situation, even if I could that would just help the illusion that I wasn't quite in the right. I just don't know.
"Even if I told you my story you wouldn't believe it, but you just have to trust me," Hopefully this works, "Just trust me, something is amiss here more than normal, and I am here to correct it."
"I don't know Will, he's being kinda vague," The blonde one step forward, "but then again we are in a hurry."
"Ok, he can come with, but if he makes any wrong moves....well, he better understand that we can take him down," The red heads words seemed true enough, "We've taken worse!"
The way to their location was barren to say the least, more like bleak. This place had seen better times or so it would look. And the conversation was just as bleak. I did come across all their names; Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelius, and Hey Linn. Interesting names, but none consequential to what I had to do. Keeping up with them was hard enough, but then that when she appeared. And I ran right into her.
A Girl wrapped in animal firs and a tight fitting white under suit. The fir came up into a hood, almost hiding her long ears. Almost Elvaan looking, wonder if she was from.....no never mind, couldn't be. She looked at me, and a feeling came over me that I could never explain. It was almost an eerie, calming feeling. Right in front of some town.
"...Hi...." I didn't know what to say, I just was stunned. I didn't know what to say or do, I had to catch up to the Quintet. Something tells me though that this run in was more important.
She looks at me, a strange look comes over her face, and then she cracks a smile. "Ok, hi is a start, but who are you? You don't belong here do you?" Well a sincerity was in her voice at least.
"Dymagox, my name is Dymagox," I didn't know how or what to tell her, but there was just a glimpse of wisdom in her eyes towards the situation. "and no, I am not from around here...but If you wouldn't bother you much....."
"Call me Ixymaria, just call me Ixymaria..." Her eyes glistened, "Don't let me hold you from what you need to do." It's as if she new...but no matter, I headed towards the castle on top of the hill in the center of what could be called a town.
I was far behind the girls, far enough that I didn't know where they went. So I just made my way in. I'm just going to have to wing it, hopefully fate will lead my hand. I snuck my way around the castle trying to find my way. It probably would help if I had a direction I needed to go, or knew what I was here for. I turned the corner, and I was looking into the warroom, where some white haired young man was talking to what looked like a fair faced blonde man, a teenager and what would appear to be a....clown??? This was a strange gathering indeed.
"Kefka, I will hear no more of this, I have been working on getting rid of the Gaurdians and my plans...." The white haired man started to speak.
"Your plans Have failed yet far Phobos, but Malificent...now she will prove that you are nothing but a worm in the whole machine that is her universe...You are an inferior...no wait, mwa-hahaha, go ahead, but when things fail we will be here to clean up the mess." The clown, Kefka it would seem his name was, laughed manically, "Now come on 'knight' we leave to tell the Sorceress of Phobos' mistrusting nature...she will not be happy."
"Yes Kefka, not happy at all. But I will make sure that such an obstruction doesn't effect the grand picture of things," The teenager put his hands into his grey trench coat pockets and looked down at the ground for a moment, then threw his head back and let out a loud laugh. A smug nature filling his voice. "I would hate to be them."
"You mean to threaten us Seifer?" The man with the blonde hair shot at the teenager.
"Cedric, calm yourself, maybe we will allow them to stay here. Let them see that we have nothing to worry about," Phobos turned to the blonde, scolding him for his hastiness.
But that is when I saw out of the corner of my eye something flitter through the shadows. At first I thought it was the pixie girls, then I realized it wasn't. The meeting adjourned or so it seemed, and all but Kefka and Seifer stayed where they were at. A single crow landed infront of them. Green flames rose to the ceiling around it and a woman appeared where the crow once stood. The Young Knight kneeled, but Kefka gave a false courtsy.
"How is everything going here. Did he go for it?" The woman said, her black robe flicking in the heat of the flames. Her delicate hand holding a staff, and her other gesturing as she spoke.
"My Sorceress, they have decided that they want to do things their way, what do you want us to do?" Seifer rose, "what do you wish for us to do about it?"
"Nothing, you will stay here with them, Kefka you will come with me, we are needed elsewhere." The sorceress waved her hands. A dark portal opened and her and the clown walked through. The hooded woman from before appeared out of the shadows next to me.
"You'll need this, trust me, now follow them." The hooded woman whispered in my ear, "Now go hurry, I have things here." At that, I started running, she slipped something into my hand. I jumped through the portal and what I saw was something that I didn't expect. A world that was dark, but filled with light. But the funny thing was, my clothes had the same light...it almost looked like I belonged to this world.
I looked around and saw a world of lights and what seemed to be circuits. Bikes of light whizzed by me, What was this world, and why was the clown here?
