Unworldly Passage
A rumbling call spread out through the valley, echoing off of cliffs and mountains and the approaching meteor. A large fish-shaped creature called out again, slightly rocking the boat that hung from his belly. Aboard were nine passengers, all lined up along the railing of the boat dubbed the Fiertia. One with long raven colored hair watched as a large mirror image of Rita's Fire Ball plummeted towards the ruins of an ancient town.
Searing heat came along with the meteor, making Ba'ul move farther away from the soon to be crater. As it came in contact with the ground, a large wave of dust and debris pelted outwards. From the center of the cloud created by the unsettled dust, a blue light expanded and swallowed Ba'ul and the Fiertia.
As the pale blue light surrounded them, a vaguely familiar voice came forth. It spoke to each through their mind since all other sound was blocked out. The whale-like Entelexia, the blue dog, the spiky haired kid, the girl with a crescent boomerang strapped to her back, the cat-eyed knight, the commandant with sky-clue eyes, the krytian, the old man with two identities, the pink-haired princess, the burnett hot-headed mage, and lastly, the long-haired ex-knight. All of them head it yet only a few of them recognized the voice.
You defeated the fighter's illusion, yet I am not done with you yet. Before I take the time to face you directly, let us see if you can save a world other than your own. Maniacal laughter came afterwards and that was all they heard before the team was whirled away in pairs.
Inside the blue light, a dark figure reached for the white gloved hand of another. He had to get her out if there was danger. When their hands touched, a bolt of strange feeling went through his spine and the blue light dissipated, revealing a blue sky that spun. Yuri flipped himself around in the air so to see where they were falling to. Below lay a spring and a river and they were falling headfirst towards the river.
He did the first thing that came to his mind; protect Estelle from the blunt force of the fall. They landed in the water with a large splash and after that, he only remembered scenes of what happened. The pink-haired princess waking up shocked about where they were. She dragged him out of the water and onto the bank to safety, at least temporarily. Then there were the cries of two people running toward them, one with long brown hair and the other with short red hair. After that, he blacked out.
A world of blue, the swirling sky as they suddenly exited, all blurred together as the young mage plummeted toward the ground. Metal grabbed her from below, caging her against a blue and white fabric. Then a jolt that made the being of metal and fabric still under her and the world stop spinning around her. Regaining her senses, she pushed herself up with her hands to see that what had taken the blow of the fall was no other than Flynn, who now lay unconscious under her. As soon as her mind processed what had happened, she was off the knight, her face scarlet.
"Of course this idiot had to save me. But why did he get himself knocked out." Rita muttered. She looked at him and the seemingly random thought of 'He looks cute like that' crossed her mind. Blushing even more she shook the thought out of her head and got up. The best thing she could do was get someone to help him. Who better to help a knight than another knight? So she headed off to find the knights for help, for the first time. 'To bad I have to rely on the stupid knights for this' Rita thought as she walked.
Cold air blasted her two long antenna back and made her face almost instantly numb as she fell. There was a purple-clad figure falling along with her. When he noticed what was happening, he cried out.
"I'm too old for this!" Was what it looked like he cried but with the wind, it was impossible to hear the words before they were snatched away.
Trees appeared below them but did little to soften their fall as the two plummeted towards the wooded hill.
Branches splintered as the two fell, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Vines snapped as they attempted to stop the devastation of the two's fall and failing until lower down, where the Krytian fell into a nest of vines and grabbed the other person falling out of the air, snapping a few more vines before the other person steadied themselves.
"Thanks, Judith darlin'" Raven said as he was pulled up to the bed of vines.
"That was fun." Judith commented, looking around. "Where do you suppose we are~?"
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~!" Pierced the still air as another pair tumbled down, in the middle of a field. The field was vacant of any monsters, much to the disapointment of one of the two.
"How can you keep saying that you aren't afraid if you scream like a girl?" The brown-headed critisized her companion. The two had not fallen from as far up as the others but still high enough to freak the leader of Brave Vesperia out.
"Hey, I dont' scream like a girl!" Karol pouted before taking in their surroundings. "The first thing we have to do if probably find Yuri, where ever he is..."
The Hunting Blades girl frowned at how utterly thick-headed he was, just going on and on about his fellow guild member.
The red-headed knight woke up to a dog licking her face. Not just any dog, but the dog of Yuri Lowell, Repede. It was not the way she ever wanted to wake up, but there it was happening.
Repede backed up once he saw that the girl was awake, careful to keep just out of petting distance while Sodia sat up, rubbing her head.
They were in some sort of mountains, with only a few shrubs sprinkled throughout the landscape.
"What...? Where are we?" Sodia asked, before noticing that she was talking to a dog. "Nevermind. I must find the Commandant."
A/N Also, just to clear it up, all characters will be in their regular costumes with no accessories until further on in the story.
Sorry for the late update, but I've been working on a few other fanfictions: Vesperia 2: Twisted Fates, Harsh Truth, and Blossums. Now for a few sneak peeks at a few of them :3
Twisted Fates: This world can never be without conflict. No matter what may happen, the conflict inside people shall always exist.
Harsh Truth: Pain, he hated it. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move. He was only just managing to stay awake as it was, with his head throbbing, feeling like it would split apart. Yet he had to help her. He had to. He could hear her screams, smell her blood in the air, hell, he could even taste his own blood in his mouth.
Blossums: One book that had been tossed to the side carefully, as to not damage it, landed just inside the slightly ajar opening to the tent. A figure bent down to pick it up and stood back up before flipping through the pages. Complicated formulas lay scattered across the pages, explaining element attributes, required mage capabilities for high-class spells and other spell-related topics.
This update is also as celebration for Tales of Graces F being announced for the US. Please, if you can, help us ask for Tales of Vesperia PS3 or any other Tales of game that is only in Japanese to be translated. :3
Thanks for reading :3 Please Review :3
