Chapter 20: Controlling the Chaos Within

AS I walked to the lodge we were staying at, I heard a voice. "Wait up!" I turned around and saw Rikku waving at me. Lightning struck near her and she screamed and hunched over on her knees, covering her ears.

I rolled my eyes and kept walking, knowing she'd catch up at the ledge. With lighting hitting near her, she'd probably run to that lodge as fast as Sonic could ever run.

She got up and I opened the lodge door and walked in, and Rikku followed. I noticed Auron was practicing using his Spin Dash on a target near the lodge. (Conviently placed there by the lodge owner apparently.)

Inside, I noticed the rest of the group waiting inside. "Hey guys." I said as I walked over to the counter.

"May I help you?" The clerk asked.

"A Lighting Ring if you have one please." I said.

The clerk got one from under the counter. "That'll be 3500 Gil please." I handed over the Gil, and then grabbed the ring and walked over to a table.

Yuna was in her room apparently since she wasn't in the main area. Wakka was being tortured by Lulu with lots of Water spells in the face, and Tidus was just watching with an eyebrow raised. Ian was outside. And to round up the group Kimahri was sleeping in a chair nearby to mine, snoring away.

Rikku walked over and pulled out another seat. I handed her the ring and she quickly put it on, knowing what it was. "You want to talk about my past, right?" I asked.

"Yeah, I mean, you don't even know who you really are..." Rikku started, but she trailed off.

"I know who I am, but I don't know my full self. This is as much as I know now..." I began. " I didn't know this until recently, but I'm from another planet, but since my parents knew I could be killed by murderers in the world I was in, they sent me to another planet, where I lived most of my life, not knowing of my real hometown. Recently, but not as recent, I got sent into this world to help out and to regain my past as a son of 2 warriows who saved the world once. I haven't learned what I'm really here for yet, but I will find out, as soon as we get to our final destination. I also need to know what my home world is like now, since there is no one tro protect it anymore. My real parents are dead, that much I learned during my stay so far on this planet."

"You've... been through a lot, haven't you?" Rikku asked.

"Not really. There are others who've been through mor than me, and easily too. Namely Shadow. Now he had a completely unknown past to himself until he finally discovered his past 52 to 53 years after his birth. Of course, though he was only in a state of being frozen for 50 years." I replied.

"That's gotta be tough on him then..." Rikku said as she got up.

I narrowed my eyes as I realized something. "Hey wait! Give me back my Grid!" I yelled at Rikku as she ran off with my ASG.

I used Transform before I got out of range with the Grid, and became my Tails form, and gave chase.

Rikku ran to the nearest room that was open and not used and shut it behind her. I stopped at the door, knowing she locked it, so I changed to Shadow form (hedgehog, not ninja) and used Chaos Control and reappeared in the room, where I saw Rikku nnnow trying to unlock the door she just locked up.

I quickly skated over and took back my Grid, and Chaos Controlled back out of the room, and changed back to my normal self.

"Hey! I was only trying to look at something!" She shouted from the room she now was stuck in.

"What in the..." Lulu said speechless.

"Uh, she took my Grid, and I took it back." i said quickly as I sat back down in my chair.

Eventually, I got bored, and a bit tired, so I walked back over to the counter and got a room for myself, at the charge of 1000 Gil. A bit cheap if you ask me, since I just spawned money in my pocket right then.

So, I got the key from the clerk, and walked into my room for the night. I got under the covers of the bed, and closed my eyes, and let the day's events go back through my mind. 'CRAP!' I thought as I realized I let myself to forget one thing.

Eggman was still loose. I tried to see maybe if I had a connection still with him, and to try and 'unsommon' him, and the scrap remains of his Egg Dealer, but the idea failed, and I could still trace a faint knowledge he's still here on Spira.

A/N I know, short chapter, but I have to go to bed now, so adios!
