Remember to review so I can improve and make sure this story stays fascinating. =]
I don't own FF9, anything new is what I do own though.
Chapter 2- Plants FTL!!
"Are you alright?"
I opened my eyes and saw big, yellow eyes staring back.
"Vivi? Where am I?" my head hurt so much, and it hurt to move.
"I don't know... I think in Evil Forest," he looked scared and confused, I don't blame him I felt the same way.
"Where's Aisha?!" I sat up so fast I got a head rush and looked around. If we weren't in Evil Forest we were deffinetly in some place similar. It was dark, spooky, and creepy and there was trees everywhere except for a path I saw nearby. Aisha was a few feet away and looking over another girl. The girl had long dark hair, and a beautiful face and figure. She had on a orange jump suit it looked like and a white undershirt. Over-sized brown gloves and black boots. She kinda looked like a princess in a fairy tale.
"Who's that?" I slowly stood up stumbling a bit and walked over.
"I think it's Princess Garnet, think you can heal her? She looks really beat up."
"Princess Garnet? How'd she end up here? How'd Vivi end up here? How'd we end up here...?" I trailed off everything seemed so confusing, all I could remember was that Theatre Ship crashing. That didn't explain anything at all really. I didn't see the ship anywhere.
"I'm not sure. We probably somehow managed to land outside of the crash site of the Theatre ship, from what Vivi told me Queen Brahne attacked the Theatre Ship which is why we crashed. We will probably get more answers from her," she motioned to Garnet.
"Right," I chanted the cure spell and focused all my energy on Garnet. A light appeared over her and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Where am I?" she looked just as confused as I was when I woke up.
"Hello Princess, my name's Aisha and that's my sister Jade. That little one is Vivi, I'm not sure if you two have met. Anyways, I believe we ended up in Evil Forest."
"I see... Where is everyone else who was on the ship?"
"I guess we landed a far way from the crash site, so we should probably look for it. If not that, then an exit. It's better then just sitting here," I wanted to leave, this forest was getting really creepy. It seemed to get darker the farther you went in, and the sooner we got out the sooner we could get away from it.
"Right, so are you ready Princess?" Aisha said and put her hand out.
"Yes, and you can just call me Garnet," she took Aisha's hand and stood up.
"Alright, let's go," Aisha started walking towards the path and taking the way that looked like it went into a lighter part of the forest.
I sighed with relief and followed, I was glad there was three other people here with me. I sorta have a fear of the dark, well not of the dark exactly... just what's in it.
"So how'd you end up on the Theatre ship Garnet?" I was really curious, I mean I thought she was part of the audience and not part of the play.
"Well... it's a long story..."
"We obviously have time," I laughed.
"Alright," she told us how she escaped onto the ship and how she wanted to leave when the crew planned on kidnapping her in the first place.
"Wow, that's pretty epic," it sounded like she had more of an adventure and cooler way of sneaking onto the ship then we did.
"Stop!" Aisha put her hand back and everyone stopped," Did you hear that?"
"W-What?" Vivi looked around scared and started to shiver.
Just then I heard it too, there was a rustling in the bushes. It didn't sound small either.
"We should hurry. This place is not safe," Garnet went to Vivi and gave him a comforting hug.
"Yeah, and we need to go fast... that thing is big," Aisha got a serious look on her face and looked ready to kick ass.
I looked back to see Garnet and Vivi nodding in agreement,"Lets go," we all took off running.
There was a crash and I heard something rush out of the bushes running after us.
"Don't look back!" Aisha yelled picking up speed.
As soon as we headed up a hill the sound seemed to just dissapear, and then I heard a yelp. I turned around and saw that Vivi had fallen and Garnet ran towards him.
"Are you alright?" she said helping him up.
"I-Is it still coming?" he slowly turned around to check and backed up.
Just then we saw a shadow from above us and it was heading right towards the Princess.
"Watch out!" we all screamed, but it was too late.
A huge plant-like monster just appeared out of nowhere. It kinda reminded me of an oversided squash with a leaf cage on top of it, and it had two over-sized green vine arms. It had put Garnet inside of it's cage, and it looked like it wasn't going to let her escape.
"What is this thing?" Garnet tried to push herself out of the cage but it was no use.
"Don't worry, Garnet! We'll get you out," Aisha looked at me and nooded, it was time to battle,"Back me up."
"Got it," Aisha ran towards the monster with her daggers withdrawn when I heard footsteps. I turned around and saw the monkey-tailed boy from the theatre ship appear from the other side of the path, and that Vivi was so scared he had fallen backwards. Poor guy.
"Sh-She's in trouble..." he stuttered pointing at Garnet.
"... What the hell is that?" he got a disgusted look on his face once he saw what Garnet was trapped in and then he saw me,"Who are you?"
"Uhmm... Jade, who are you?"
"Zidane, is that your friend yelling at Rusty?" he pointed back to the battle.
I turned around and saw Aisha standing next to the scary knight from the ship.
"What? Where'd he come from?" I ran towards Aisha and Zidane ran up next to me.
"Some dumbass that doesn't know manners at all..." she looked pissed.
"Release the prnincess at once!!!" the knight yelled, like the plant could really understand him.
"Yeah, like it's gonna really listen to you," Zidane said reading my mind," Come on."
Right after he said that, he started to glow. A light surrounded him, and when it dimmed he was completly naked. Fur was covering most of his body... thankfully.
"Wh-What is that light!?" the knight yelled, looking at Zidane for not more then a split-second before looking back towards the Princess.
"I don't know. Somehow, it raises my power," Zidane said shrugging it off like it was no big deal.
"Haha, that is amazing," Aisha laughed and smiled, I was glad she wasn't mad anymore.
"Could it really be Trance...!?" the knight muttered to himself.
"I've heard of it before! Trance is induced by a surge of emotion," Aisha said, answering the question I was about to ask.
"Alright, let's take him !!" we all noded in agreement.
Aisha rand up and slashed one of the plants arms, but it barely affected it at all.
"Wow... this thing is tough!" she said under her breathe as she jumped back to avoid a counter-attack.
The monster put it's arms in the cage and looked like it was absorbing energy from the princess. She flinched like it hurt, but she didn't seem hurt too badly.
Zidane stepped forward and yelled," Free energy," and a gigantic blast of energy covered the monster. The knight was also running forward to hit the monster, but like Aisha's attack, it looked very minor. The plant slashed out towards the man in aromor and hit him, looked like the armor prevented him from moving quickly to avoid it. The plant absorbed more energy from the Princess and this time it looked like she was getting weak.
"Can't you just heal her?" Aisha said looking back at me.
"It will only end up healing the monster, hold on I'll use a potion," I looked inside my cloak's pocket and grabbed a small, green vile. When I looked up to throw Garnet the potion the plant had already jumped back up to the trees," Damn..." I whispered putting the potion back.
"Princess? PRINCESS!!!" the knight screamed hysterically at the top of his lungs.
"What the heck? Where did they go?" Zidane was back to normal and looking through the trees.
"You're so pathetic, insulting me saying I can't do anything to save her. When you didn't do anything at all," Aisha siad at the knight with an annoyed look on her face. That would explain why she looked so mad earlier," You're lucking that we were here or I'm sure that plant would've ate you and her both. You call yourself a knight? What I see is a worthless man in tin armor."
"Why you insulent brat! I'll have your life for insulting me!" the knight looked even scarier when he was mad.
"She's gone..." Vivi said looking at the ground and started to sniffle.
"Don't worry, we'll find her," I sat next to him and gave him a small hug.
"I was so scared to cast any spells... That monster's probably gonna eat her..."
"How could I let this happen!?" the knight was starting to sound a little too dramatic...
"Don't worry. She's not dead yet," we all looked towards Zidane," That monster was only a minion. He's probably gonna take her to his master."
"That means the princess might still be- Come! We must go find her at once!" The knight stood up with his face full of glory.
I heard a rustle and looked up to see another plant monster... and it was going to land right on top of me and Vivi. It grabbed us and threw us into it's leaf cage of doom.
"Help us!" we screamed trying our hardest to get out. It was no use though, we both could barely fit in there together, let alone try anything to get out.
"Not this thing again..." Aisha groaned.
"Cover your head," Vivi whispered, I nodded and did as I was told," Fire."
A flame appeared underneath the monster and it yelled in agony.
"GO VIVI!!" Aisha yelled laughing," You found it's weakness."
The vines reached in and absorved some of our energy, and everyone was trying their hardest to destroy the plant as fast as possible.
"Oh n-no, it's gonna eat us" Vivi said pulling his hat over his eyes.
"Don't worry I have potions, we'll be fine," I hugged him," Just try to keep using magic, it seems to hurt him a lot."
He nodded and tried to concentrate on another spell.
"Don't worry about us! I have it under control, just get this thing to let us go!" I yelled towards the three fighters.
"Got it!" they yelled avoiding another attack from it's vine.
The plant let out a low moan as Vivi did a third fire attack. It quickly recovered though as it did another absorb attack. Vivi looked like he was getting exhausted so I quickly gave him a potion.
The knight ran up and slashed the plant, it started to shake. It deflated and the cage opened up, I jumped out with Vivi right behind me.
"Phew... Th-Thanks..." Vivi said looking the plant's deflated body.
"Are you alright?" Zidane asked.
"Y-Yeah... I think so. Thanks to Jade," he said looking up and me and smiled, I smiled back. He looked so adorable when he smiled, especially since he looked sad all the time.
I saw green smoke surround me all of a sudden, and felt so tired. I closed my eyes and evertying went black.
