World Domination: The Story of Shadow
Chapter 3: A sinless angel, soon to be mine.
"Are you sure this is what you want, Mai-an?"
"More then anything,"
"I am sorry…"
"What?!"
"Another wish has been made before you…"
"He… He got to you?"
"I will miss you."
"Tai-a, what was the wish?"
"Even though I was a human to start with, you still had me as your friend. One day you will know…what happened…I hope I will remember you."
I woke to find Keira hugging my arm like it was some teddy bear. She looked like she was having a nightmare. Flicking her in the head Keira woke, blinked and smiled at me. I hissed and pulled her off my now numb arm. "Never again…" I said to her. She just giggled to my annoyance.
Putting on my Amour and combat boots I walked outside. Tidus and co. were readying to leave. I turn and was about to go back and kick Keira into gear when she was standing behind me. "Boo!" She made it look like was going to grab me. I took a step back and failed at hiding my shock. I'd wished she would stop laughing at me, I wasn't feeling very evil. The trip to the boat was amusing from my perspective. The fight between Tidus and Kimahri was sad and funny at the same time. Tidus isn't that good a fighter in reality; I could see he had a lot to learn. Kimahri knocked Tidus over a lot while dodging any counter attack Tidus tried. In a fight with the few fiends they came across, he showed he could look after himself, but needed the help of the others to finish it off.
I think Tidus hated me by the time we reached the boat. I couldn't stop laughing whenever he messed up. I was even amazed when I saw Yuna silently laugh with me at his obvious weakness. My mind was linked to hers now that I had implanted my darkness in her head. It will come in handy when I start to whisper advice directly into her head. There wouldn't be any of that until she was 'changed' enough to listen.
There were many goodbyes to Yuna and co. and not ever a second glance at me. "Everyone is putting so much faith into their little Yuna," Keira just looked at me as I spoke, "She is important to my plans… you'll see soon enough," She nodded and followed me to the back of the ship. I sat and waited, soon I will get my chance to fight Sin.
Before I knew it boredom had gotten the better of me and I dosed off. The spell I weaved on Yuna the night before must have taken more out of me then I thought. My mind wondered from one random thought to the next. None of it really made any sense to me but I enjoyed the time. "Huh? Oh, hey Matty man," My line of random thought broken.
"Hey," I replied recognizing the voice. I didn't open my eyes, because I didn't find it strange to hear the voice at the time. "So… how are you?" he asked standing over me.
"Good," I replied lazily.
"I got a call from your mum," He continued, "I hear you ran away or something?"
"My mum?" I snapped open my eyes to find a man the same age as me standing there. He was bigger then I was, slightly overweight, been like that since I met him. "Playford?" I asked not really believing my eyes. He just nodded and crossed his arms. Looking around me I found I was in a small room with no doors or windows, the walls were white and the carpet grey and shaggy. A light blub was the only thing giving light. There was a silence, we both didn't know what to say.
"So, they called you huh?" I asked, it was nice to have a familiar face to talk to, even if it wasn't really him. I was lonely as hell in Spira.
"Yeah, today. And then I started to dream about you. Must have shook me up more then I know,"
"Your dream?" I mumbled to myself. I started to get a feeling something wasn't right about this dream of mine, "Have they called the cops?"
"Not that I know of," I was about to say something when someone yelled "Sin!" and before I knew it I was on the ship again. The sudden rocking threw me to the deck as I tried to stand and sent me flying into a nearby wall. I had an unimpressed look on my face when I was trying to get up again only to be thrown the other direction. When things had started to calm, my mind wondered back to the dream I just had. It was nice seeing him again but why did I get the feeling it was almost real?
I didn't get any more time to ponder as two Sinscale's landed near by. They were ugly little bitches. Yet I smiled, happy to see them. I didn't pull out my sword. No, I had a something else in mind. I raised my hands and pointed my palm at the closest Sin Fiend. Out came my black mist which shot at the monster and rapped around it. It sipped into it and got to work. But to my horror it was very slow going and I lost sense of everything around me. The mist start to pull at the pyroflies, I knew it was working. I could see it become somewhat fuzzy. If I could brake up the pyroflies then just maybe…
I didn't see the second Sinscale attack me until it was too late. With my concentration broken the black mist became as harmless as a cloud in the sky. I hiss as I got up from the tackle. They both charged at me head on like they had a chance. With one movement I cut through both of then and place my sword away. I couldn't help smile at how cool that would have looked.
The sound of someone falling behind me made me turn to find Keira fighting off one herself. I sighed when I noticed a cut on her, it didn't look deep but I was disappointed they hit her. Walking closer, I got ready to kill it myself when Keira slashed down killing it. Pointing to the cut on her stomach, she just surged and tried to wipe the blood off. The ship slowed down some as Sin broke off to destroy Kilika.
LordShadow: That was hard to write. I didn't really know what to put in this chapter when I started. I knew what I wanted to do when I got to Sin, but before that there was nothin. I hope it didn't turn out too bad, I think it's alright. So, four chapters and not very far into the story.
