Chapter Six: Touch of One-Winged Angel
Sora had cleaned his eyes from the burning of coffee, and was returning
to the main plaza of Traverse Town. As he rubbed his eyes, he bumped into some
one, and went, "Oof! Excuse me!"
The man didn't even pay attention. When Sora fully opened his eyes, he
had noticed a large crowd, in a circle, was gathered around the middle of the plaza.
It seemed that something important was going on. "Ariel?" Sora called, but he couldn't hear anything but the low whispers and talk of people around him.
Squall gave a slight smile, then tossed his Summon Gem into the air.
As it slowly came down, Squall slashed at the gem with his gunblade, cracking
it into two pieces. The pieces fell onto the ground a few inches apart, but next
to each other, and Squall muttered, "Feel my pain . . ."
The two gems glowed a bright orange now, and had turned into what had
seemed to be a pair of eyes. From under the two glass objects, a black, inky
substance began to come out, and soon, from a puddle of the blackness, a
large beast was emerging. He had finally come out, dripping the black ooze.
He silky, coal fur, red 'blades' on his tail, head, and fore-arms, and looked
somewhat like a loin. "Meet Griever, my summon." Leon said, his smirk now
turning to a grin.
Ariel had backed away a bit, but it didn't seem like there was an
escape. Tons of people were surronding them, and moving in closer.
Sora was still trying to get through, pushing his way through people.
He even casted an Aero spell on himself, so when he walked by, the
people around would slightly be blown away from him.
She looked at the gem and took a deep sigh. "Feel my pain?"
she whispered, mimicing what Leon had said. But no response came
from the clear, ruby with a small, yellow blaze inside it. Leon looked
at her and folded his arms. "You won't get any where with that.
Say something that means a lot to you, that will help the spirit
inside the gem feel a part of you."
Ariel, who was looking at him as he spoke, gave a weak,
slight nod, then looked back down at the cold, heavy sphere in
her hands. The glass was smooth, and Ariel could easily run her
fingers along the ball she held in her hand. Though the flame inside
it somhow magically moved, even though the glass was not hallow,
the outside was still cool. So she brought it to her chest, near her
collar bones, closed her eyes, stood straight, and said, "Doubt my
Breath."
As she said so, the gem glowed instantly. The light was a
golden honey color, and as it shone, Ariel's hair flew upwards, and
stayed so as if she were falling. She tilted her head back a bit to feel
the warmth and the cool air, all at once. The gem drifted slowly from
her hands, then into the middle of 'the field'. There, is slammed down
onto the ground hard, and it felt like a sudden quake. The gem went
into the ground, opening a large crater. Lava bubbled in the whole,
and suddenly, the whole boiling juice shot up a large meteor, maybe
the size of a car. The meteor cracked, and out of it, a large beast appeared.
It was the color of a red brick, and had large horns, and smaller spikes. It
also had many tassles hanging around it's neck and metal cuffs off it's arms.
It was also kind of fury, and as it jumped from the meteor and landed on
the ground, leaving large claw marks with it's long talons, it gave a long
roar.
By now, Sora had reached the front, and was shocked to see
Ariel and Leon, and two large beasts. "Ifrit?" was all Sora could say,
looking at the beast finish it's roar. Both summons stared into each others
eyes, Ariel backing away a bit, and Leon pointing his finger at Ifrit. "Attack . . ."
he said, snapping his fingers. Griever flew quickly and darted towards Ifrit.
"Give it a command!" Sora shouted, knowing he couldn't really interfere with
a summon duel. Ariel thought and said, "Mimic!"
So Ifrit quickly rushed towards Griever, too, and when both collided,
they locked their hands together. Ifrit pushed against Griever, well Griever
pushed against Ifrit. Since Griever was in the air, and had wings, he would
flap his wings violently every now and again, releasing a gust of air that
would push Ifrit back. "Ariel, you have to tell him what to do. It's the job
of the summoner." Sora told her, making tons of hand gestures. Ariel looked
back at Ifrit, who was still being pushed. She thought for a moment, then
saw around Ifrit, tiny flames flying here and there. She was about to tell
him to shoot a fire ball, but she didn't know if he could, so she just shouted,
"Shoot!"
At this point, Ifrit opened his mouth, a large flame began to form between
his fangs and jaw. After charging up, Ifrit shot the large ball of flame, and hit Griever
in the chest. Griever was now trying to keep a balance, so Ifrit was able to pull him
down to his level. After doing so, Ifrit slowly kept shooting fire balls at Griever, until
he was pinning him down onto the ground, Griever now on his back. "Get up and
fight!" Leon commanded, and Griever shot a few jolts of electricity from his eyes,
throwing Ifrit back.
Ifrit got up quickly, allowing the electricity to go up to his horns. As it all
did, he rubbed his hands upon his horns, gathering all the static. When it was
on his hands, he slammed his 'fists' together, releasing a burst of lightning and
flames. "Destroy!" Leon yelled, but at this time Ifrit had slammed the burst onto
the ground, causing large spikes to erupt from the ground. Tons of spikes quickly
hit Griever, and he fell onto his back. After waiting, Griever did not get up, and
he slowly vanished. Leon just gritted his teeth and ran to the Third District.
Ariel fell to her knees, the comotion was just too much. Sora walked over
to her and took the summon gem, pointing it at Ifrit. "Thank you." he said softly,
and Ifrit vanished into the gentle breeze. "Are you okay?" Sora asked, stuffing
the summon gem back into his pocket. "I just feel a little tired, that's all." she
replied, trying to get up. She almost fell down again, but Sora quickly cuaght her.
"I can't believe you won! And really fast, too."
Ariel just smiled and Sora helped her back to the table. They finally sat
down and drank their coffee. No sooner, perhaps after fifteen minutes, everyone
was whispering into the other's ear, and all eyes were on Ariel and Sora. They
noticed this and began to get a little uneasy.
"What's going on?" Sora asked, wondering if it was the summon duel.
But it happened a few minutes ago, so it couldn't be that. After thinking, Aerith
came up to both of them and hissed, "Everyone is talking about the other night!
They think Kairi is hurt becuase Ariel threw a bar at her!"
"What!" was all Sora could say. "It had to of been Kairi. She must of said
something, as a lie." Aerith replied. "We have to fix it!" Sora said, quickly jumping
up and running up the stairs to the accesory shop. He stopped and turned, saying,
"Aerith, take care of Ariel!"
Aerith nodded and lead Ariel back to the inn. "I'm really sorry." she said, "we
didn't know this would happen. Cloud, Leon, and Cid are trying to make it right. Yuffie
is looking for Kairi, and I'm sure Sora is doing one of the two."
Ariel just shook her head and gave a weak smile. Her cheeks were red with
embaressment. "It's okay," she said softly, "It's all my fualt. I should of went home,
and now I've just cuased so many problems."
Aerith shook her head. "No, Ariel, it's-"
But she was cut short. Aerith's eyes went wide, and she made a
silent gasp. With what little strength she had left, she reached to where the pain
was coming from. Her stomach, right in the middle. And there, where it was damp,
and what she was sure was blood, was a large, cold, steel blade. She slowly turned
around. "S-S-Sephi . . . roth." she muttered slowly in a hoarse voice. The man behind
her, with his long, flowing, silver hair, just grinned, then quickly drew his Masamune
from her. Aerith fell to the floor, her breathing getting slower and heavier.
(Get it? CUT short?)
Through it all, Ariel watched in horror. She saw as, in a flash, Sephiroth appeared
behind her, black feathers falling to the ground, Sephiroth drawing his blade, then quickly
jamming it through Aerith. It all happened so fast.
"Aerith, are you okay!" Ariel cried, getting up from the bed and running to Aerith's side.
Aerith was on her knees, holding herself with one hand on the ground, the other
on her chest. Her head was lowered, until she looked up at Sephiroth. Ariel looked up,
to, and saw him raise his blade once more. "Sleep well, princess." he laughed, driving
the blade quickly through her right side, the point coming out from the left. He then
lifted her into the air, the blade through her, as if she was meat on a stick.
Aerith closed her eyes in pain, crying, trying to hold onto the blade. But the
sharpness cut her everytime she tried to grab on. "Aerith!" Ariel cried once more, looking
for some kind of weapon to him Sephiroth with. "Come, this is the end! Sin Harvest!"
Sephiroth yelled, pointing one finger at Ariel.
Instantly, she felt a halo of warmth bathe upon her head, then vanish as she
fell to the ground, trying to move. She couldn't.
Sephrioth, who was holding the blade with on hand, and Aerith straight towards
Ariel, put his other hand on the blade. He quickly swung the blade to his left, Aerith sliding
off the blade, flying off and hitting the wall. Her whole body hit with a thud, and lay there,
motionless, blood splattered on the wall from the contact of Aerith's body and the harsh pounding into the wall. Her body was twisted over, her hair out of place.
"Aerith!" Ariel cried again, trying to move. It was no use. Sephiroth walked over to
Ariel, picked her up, and put her back against his chest. He moved the hair from her ear back, and whispered, "You're beauty is enough to make me need you. Come with me,
and you shall never feel pain again. We shall go, rule over all, and destroy those who
try to over throw us! Both of us, the only two who can share our love together!"
Ariel tried to brake free, but her eyes were slowly fading. Her eyelids fell close
to the end, and her body gave out. She was going to pass out.
Just then, Yuffie waked in, then screamed. She saw the twisted body of Aerith,
and Ariel being held by Sephiroth, gently being put into sleep. "We belong together."
Sephiroth announced, then vanished with Ariel, only leaving a few feathers to gently
float down to the ground. He thought of where to go, as he vanished . . . the Colliseum
was too obvious.
Ariel had fallen asleep, and Sephiroth floated in the darkness. That was it, he needed
somewhere dark, somewhere unexpected . . . as he passed all worlds, he came to one that
had no sun, and all was falling apart. The moon was large and blurry, and many pumpkins
decorated the town. The ground was warped and full of bent lines . . . that was it, he would
go to Halloween Town.
----back in the Hotel Room
Yuffie ran to Aerith. "Aerith! Aerith! Open your eyes!" she cried.
(sound familiar?)
Aerith didn't move. Her eyes were half closed, blood quickly gushing from her mouth
in what seemed like gallons. "Cloud!" Yuffie screamed. "Cloud!"
--10 minutes later---
Somebody heard Yuffie screaming and rushed over. They called Cid, Leon, Sora and
Cloud. Everyone was shocked by the body. "Who did this!" Cloud demanded, grabbing Yuffie
by the collar. She started to cough, and he dropped her. After taking a breath, she said,
"He took Ariel, too . . . Sephiroth . . ."
Everyone gasped, and Leon asked, "Are you sure?"
Yuffie nodded, and Cloud clenched his fist. "I'm sorry," the doctor said, but she's dead."
Looking at the floor, a silent tear fell from Cloud's eye. "I'm going to kill him." Cloud
muttered.
"Wait!" Sora yelled, "I'm coming with you!"
Cloud turned and looked at Sora. He couldn't say no, becuase Sora would argue,
and Cloud didn't have the time. He wanted to leave soon, so he could at least
save somebody . . . and that would be Ariel.
"We'll be here." Leon said, handing Sora his necklace. "Use this as a keychain."
Sora nodded and ran after Cloud, and both boarded the gummi ship.
