Childhood Memories
Chapter 8: The Escape
Zidane ran passed all the screaming people towards the Museum.
Where is she? Zidane thought.
"LOOK UP THERE! SHE'S FLYING!" A lady yelled pointing up at the sky.
Zidane looked up to see…Missy! Wait! He looked closer to see a figure in a black robe carrying her. Missy laid completely motionless in the figures arms.
"MISSY!" Zidane yelled. But Missy didn't reply back. But then he saw her eyes open a little, but she ended up closing them again.
She's alive! He thought, DAMMIT! But how am I supposed to reach her?
CRASH!!!
Zidane spun around to see were that sound came from. His eyes suddenly widened when he saw his best friend.
"HURRY UP! GET ON!" Blank yelled from the theater ship. The theater ship landed on top of a couple of houses…or more like knocking the houses down. Zidane gave out a surprised look. Zidane then ran up to the side of the theater ship, then it raised up into the air. Zidane climbed up the top and ran up to the steer that Blank was at, steering the ship.
"YOU OWE ME BIG TIME! Baku doesn't even know that I took the ship!" Blank said, steering the ship coming closer to the figure in the black robe holding Missy. Zidane ran to the side of the dock that Missy and the figure were close by. Zidane stepped up onto the edge trying to catch his balance.
The figure in the black robe then turned his head towards Zidane who was quite a distance away.
"MISSY!" Zidane yelled, reaching his hand towards her but couldn't reach her.
"Blank, move closer!"
"I can't! If I do I'll bang into her!"
"YOU FREAKIN' BASTARD! LET GO OF HER! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?" Zidane yelled at the figure with his fist raised.
"You…can see…me?" the figure asked.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT FROM HER!? IF YOU WANT HER, YOU'LL HAVE TO FIGHT ME!" Zidane yelled getting ready to jump off.
"Hmp. You're just a waste of my time." The figure said.
"GO TO HELL-," but Zidane's sentence got cut short when a flashing blue light appeared. It was coming from…Missy's eyes! Her eyes were wide open but she didn't have any pupils or anything. It just glowed bright blue.
The dark figure screeched from the brightness and let go of Missy to cover his eyes. She then started to fall. Without thinking twice, Zidane jumped off the edge after her. They were falling with their head first.
"MISSY!" Zidane yelled, finally catching up with her. So he wrapped his arms around her as they fell. He closed his eyes and held her close. They fell closer and closer down to Lindblum.
Who knew it would end like this? Zidane thought, Missy's glowing eyes just looking down. It was like she wasn't even awake. But then he didn't feel like he was falling anymore. It was like the fall was on pause. So he opened his eyes to see they were floating in the air. He was 3 feet above the ground. He gave out a surprised gasp.
He flipped himself right-side up so that his feet were closer to the ground instead of his head. He then carried Missy in his arms. It was like everything was put into slow motion, and he was the only one that could move. But as soon as his feet touched the ground, everything started moving again.
He looked down at Missy to see she had her eyes closed now.
What just happened? He thought. But then he turned back to reality and looked at Missy. She wasn't moving so he shook her. But she still didn't wake up. He tried again and again but still there was no reply. So he checked for her pulse on her neck. Yes…heartbeats. She was still alive! He gave out a smile. But it wasn't long till Blank yelled from up on the airship.
"YOU IDIOT! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?" Blank yelled up from the airship as it lowered down onto the houses.
"I was just thinking that…" he gave out a grin and said "she's okay."
"DON'T GIVE ME THAT ROMEO! NOW HURRY UP AND GET ON BEFORE YOU GUYS BURN TO DEATH!"
Zidane gave out a laugh, and Blank smiled.
She must be unconscious. But hopefully she'll wake up soon…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"YOU IDIOTS! DID YOU FIND HER!?" Garnet yelled at the Alexandrian soldier that stood next to her.
"No, your highness. Our soldiers searched everywhere but she's no where to be found" the soldier replied.
"Well, keep looking." Garnet ordered. The soldier gave a solute and turned around and ran through the door.
"Why was I stuck with lazy soldiers?" Garnet said pounding with her first on the armrest.
"YOU'RE HIGHNESS! I think I found her." Beatrix said bursting in the room. Beatrix ran up to the edge of the ship and leaned over the ledge. Garnet got off her chair and ran over to the ledge.
"There she is!" Garnet said pointing to an airship below theirs.
Zidane had Missy in his arms and stood next to Blank talking to him at the steer.
"Hurry, shoot them down!" Garnet ordered.
"But, your highness Zidane's in there!" Beatrix said looking at Garnet in shock.
"Does it look like I care? Now shoot them down or you'll be living in a cell for the rest of your life!"
Beatrix gave out a sharp look but then turned around and excited the room.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We need to go to Treno to see Dr. Tot." Zidane said.
"Um…problem." Blank said looking straight ahead. They saw an airship in front of them. The airship was blocking their way. And there were cannons facing them and soldiers on the side of each cannon. There were at least 10 cannons.
"Here, hold Missy for a while." Zidane said placing Missy into Blank's arms.
"What are we going to do? They got us covered!" Blank said.
"We're going to lose them." Zidane said with a grin on his face. "Hold on!"
"Zidane, what the-," But Blanks sentence was interrupted when Zidane stepped on the pedal so hard that the ship jerked a little. Zidane was heading straight for the airship. He could see some of the soldiers moving out of their positions and running away. When they were going to crash right into Garnet's airship, Zidane stepped on the stop pedal so hard that it made a screeching sound. The soldiers were so scared that they were cuddled up on the ground.
Their airship stopped so close to Garnet's airship that it was just 2 inches apart.
Zidane let out a smile and simply said "boo!" The soldiers all screamed.
Zidane quickly flew up above them and flew around them. When Zidane was quite a distance away from them, he could hear someone yelling.
"YOU FOOLS! FIRE AT THE CANNONS!"
But Zidane was far away from them so the cannons didn't reach them at all. When Zidane was far away from them that the airship was no where to be seen, Zidane started to slow down. He then turned around towards Blank and said "See? That wasn't so bad was it?"
"WATCH OUT!" Blank yelled.
There was a big BOOM! The ship then shook a little. A cannon landed in the back of the airship and left a big hole. The ship then started to go crazy and headed down towards the mountains. The back of the airship was on fire. Zidane grabbed onto the steer to try and stop the ship from going down but it was no use. So Zidane just held on tightly to the steer and looked back at Blank to see he was sliding down to the front of the airship.
It looked like Blank was trying to stop himself with his feet but couldn't. Blank had Missy in his arms so he couldn't use his hands to stop himself. The airship was heading down to the mountains fast.
"BLANK!" Zidane yelled. Zidane let go of the steer and slid down to the dock with his hands up trying to keep his balance. Zidane then quickly grabbed onto Blanks hand and held onto a pipe that stuck out of the dock. Blank was now holding Missy in only one arm. Zidane showed his teeth as the tried to hold onto Blank with all his strength. He gave out a gasp as they were going to hit the mountain, so he closed his eyes. Then finally…CRASH!!!
After an hour or so later…
"Ugh!" Zidane mumbled as he sat up and rubbed his head. He was sitting on a…bed. He opened his eyes to see he was in a small room. Blank, Missy, and the airship was no where to be seen. He sat there confused. He stood up and looked around.
"Where am I?"
"Your in my house." A childish voice said. Zidane spun around to see a little girl about 7 years old sitting on a chair by the bed. She had on a puffy yellow dress with a bandana on. She then started to giggle.
"I like your tail!" she giggled.
"Oh…a…thanks! Um…have you seen a guy with reddish hair kind of my height, with a girl with a ribbon in her hair?" Zidane asked.
The girl nodded her head. "The girl is in the room next door, and the boy is sitting in the living room." She said standing up and swinging her body back and forth.
"I'll go and check on them!" Zidane said.
"You can't see the girl though. My older brothers in there checking on her."
"I'll just go and check on Blank then."
"Okay!" the girl giggled. Zidane then walked to the door and opened it, walking out.

Missy's P.O.V
I felt a soft, warm hand press against my cheek. I wanted to just wake up to see who that was. But my body just didn't want to listen. I felt the person's finger slide down my face. But my body finally agreed with me.
I opened my eyes slowly. I gave out a couple of blinks before I could see clearly. I was lying on a bed. I saw a face. I couldn't really make it out until I stared at it for a couple of seconds. He had spiky black hair and dark brown eyes. He just stared at me. He then suddenly pulled back after noticing that I was staring at him.
"I'm sorry!" he said. "I'm just not used to seeing beautiful faces."
I blushed a little and sat up. He was wearing black leather pants with a white t-shirt. He had a silver chain around his neck and a tattoo that went around the upper part of his left arm. It looked like he was a little older then me, like 21 years old. I leaned on the side of my bed. When I stood up, I kind of lost my balance. But he caught me.
"Are you all right?" he asked. I nodded my head and he stood me up.
"You need to be careful. Your legs are still not fully healed." He said.
He wrapped my arm around his shoulder and grabbed my waist. I then started to take baby steps to the door. He opened the door for me and we walked out. We walked through the hallways and started to walk down the stairs to the living room. When I was half way down the stairs I looked into the living room to see Zidane. Oh, how I wanted to see his face.
He was walking towards the stairs with a smile on his face. As soon as I reached the bottom of the steps, Zidane took my waist and wrapped my other arm on his shoulder. So the guy let go of me and had Zidane walk me over to the couch. He then carefully sat me down on the couch. He sat next to me and looked at me with a frown on his face.
"Are you okay?" he asked sincerely. I nodded my head.
"Com on sis. Let's buy you an ice cream cone." The guy said to his little sister.
"YIPPEE!!" she then ran out of the door. Blank sat on the couch and then stood up.
"Um…I think I'll come with you guys!" Blank then gave Zidane a wink and walked out of the door. When they were all gone I took my eyes off the door and looked at Zidane. Zidane was looking right at me with saddened eyes.
"I-I'm sorry!" Zidane said. I got token back a little. "I don't know! But I guess I-I was a little…jealous."
I was going to speak but he just continued. "I shouldn't have left you! If I knew this was going to happen I would have stayed with you. I'm really sorry! Man, I feel really stupid!"
I just smiled and leaned forward and kissed Zidane on his cheek. His face was so red. He looked at me stunned. He laid his hand against the cheek I kissed him on.
I just smiled and said, "Don't worry about it! Why don't we go and look around?" I stood up and pretended that my leg was all better.
After staring at me for a couple of seconds, he gave out a grin and stood up. He walked to the door and opened it for me. He then slightly bowed and said "Shall we?"
I gave out a small giggle and walked out the door. Zidane then walked out the door after me.
So…did you like it? Was it good? Anything but bad? Whatever you think, please send a review!
