The only thing keeping me awake is caffeine…
A bottle of sprite is looking at me like I'm crazy…
I can no longer read the numbers on the clock…
It is the perfect time to write…
I must now rant!
I really want to start playing the XI again, but can't because my brother left his copy of the XI here and he's in college now…
GRRR!
I now feel sad for deleting my former characters…
They were famous too… Only characters ever to walk through the invisible walls in Windurst and fall into water…
Morvagor: Once, Windurst Waters, got out via black mage, I forget the server…
Doure: Three times, Port Windurst, got out via GMs, Pandemonium Server…
I am sad because I miss them now…
Though there were some really good fishing spots under the pier…
So I got Xenosaga 2 today, only to find out that I lost my memory card…
I feel like shooting myself in the foot …
With a bullet made out of salt…
And then pouring vinegar into the wound…
And them bashing my head into a wall…
Many, many times…
Also I now have FFXI: Chains, and I have no idea what serve I should go to…
The guy at the shop who sold me the game said I should go to Rahmu server cause he would power lvl me…
But I think he only said that to make a sale…
Okay, rant over, now to the story!

Vendisioh then looked to Habaki and said, "Anyway, we need to get back to your training and … I'm talking to air…" He noticed that no one was where Habaki was. Looking around he noticed Habaki kneeling down next to Dervask and continuously poking him with a stick. Vendisioh blinked at him and said, "What are you doing?"
"Poking Dervask with a stick…"
"Why?"
"Because it is the greatest pleasure in the world! Ever!"
"You're insane…"
"Hey, don't complain until you've tried it…" Habaki said as she handed Vendisioh the stick. He reluctantly took it and slowly poked Dervask in the ribs, causing him to roll over in his sleep.
Habaki then yelled, "Wow! You got him to roll over on your first turn and with only one poke! That's twenty points right there!"
Vendisioh looked at Habaki in utter confusion and said, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"What? Don't you know the rules of, Poke Dervask While He's Sleeping, aka PDWHS?"
Vendisioh looked so confused that no other emotion could possibly exist at the time.
"I swear, there is something wrong with that moogle, first he tells me to catch him, then when I do he says I cheated!" Said the voice of Kagi.
"I know what you're talking about, first he tells me to make a rock float in the air, and when I do, he's gone!" Replied the voice of Baji. Kagi chuckled while Baji stayed silent. The two soon came up the stares and saw the moogle there standing with the stick.
"What in the hell are you doing you damned moogle?" Asked Baji.
"Ummm … Apparently I am playing PDWHS…"
Kagi blinked and said, "Wow … who's winning?"
"He is…" Habaki said with a sigh, "He got him to roll over with one poke on his first turn!"
"Damn! That's twenty points!"
"I know! It's so unfair!"
Baji then smirked and said, "I call next game…"
"Damn…" Kagi said as she kicked the dirt, "I wanted to play next game…"
30 Games later:
"Go Baji!" Habaki yelled out.
Baji then twirled the stick and went to poke Dervask, but stopped half way, seeing Dervask roll over on his own. Baji blinked and said, "Does that mean I win automatically?"
Dervask then went into the fetal position, like as if he was in great pain.
"What the hell did you do to him?" Habaki asked in a somewhat worried tone.
Kagi walked over and knelt down to Dervask saying, "You okay there, Dervask?"
Dervask opened his eyes; they were filled with the rages of hell its self. Dervask slowly got to his feet and the grabbed Kagi by the throat. Kagi could hardly say anything, but managed to say, "Der … vask … wha…"
His grip then tightened around her neck. He grinned widely as Habaki yelled out, "Dervask! Stop it! You're killing her!" He then threw the now unconscious Kagi at Habaki, knocking both of them into the large tree he had to get to so badly before.
Baji began to raise chunks of earth and fling them at Dervask, only to see him break through them all. Dervask was now at point blank from Baji. Hequicklypulled back his hand to try to punch her, only to have Vendisioh yell out, "Stop!" At that instant, Dervask stopped, completely, he did not move, speak, or breathe.
Vendisioh smirked and said, "I love that spell…"
Baji slowly sunk to the ground in fear of her brother. "What was that?" Baji said quietly to herself, "That couldn't have been Dervask…"
Vendisioh rubbed his chin in contemplation, "That is definitely not normal…"
Nausi yawned loudly as she walked up the stone steps. When she reached the top she looked around to see Habaki and Kagi knocked out, Baji on the floor shaking nervously, Dervask frozen in the air, and Vendisioh thinking to himself. Nausi scratched her head and said, "I leave for a second and everything goes to hell…"
"S-screw y-you, N-Nausi…" Baji said, still shacking.
"Nausi, could you show me that healing spell you casted on Dervask?" Vendisioh said, "I think you did something wrong…"
Nausilooked downsomewhat ashamed andthen did as he commanded.
"Okay, that will be enough…" Vendisioh said with a sigh. He then went back to contemplating and then minutes later looked up and said, "Okay, I think I know what happened…"
"What did she do?" Habaki yelled out, "What is it? Did she cause him to go insane because she used tainted white magic? That's it isn't it? I know it is!"
"Weren't you knocked out a second ago?" Vendisioh asked, somewhat impressed, "Shouldn't you be still knocked out?"
"Bah! I knock myself into things like that all the time, it's no big deal…"
"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight … Anyway, Nausi, that spell that you used." Vendisioh said turning to Nausi, "Never ever, ever, EVER, use it again … ever…"
Nausi'sface could no longer be seen asshe looked downinsham andsaid, "I'm sorry ... Can I ask what Idid?"
Vendisioh coughed and said, "Well, simply put, instead of using normal spirit and mind energy, you instead used aggressive and angered energy, causing your own rage and hatred to pour into Dervask as you healed him…"
"I see..." Nausi said in a very depressed tone, "I didn't know…"
Vendisioh sighed and said, "It's okay, just don't do it again … ever…"
"Think you said ever enough times?" Habaki said jokingly, trying to lighten the mood and get the focus off of Nausi.
"Wait for it… wait for it… EVER!" Vendisioh then said, going along with Habaki's joke. Vendisioh then smirked and said, "Anyway, the only thing we can do now for Dervask is to just let him act out all that rage…" He then casted a large blue barrier around Dervask and snapped his fingers, letting Dervask free from being frozen in time.
He hit the side of the barrier with his fist, causing Baji to jump back in fear. He yelled loudly and began rapidly punching the barrier. He slowly but surely began to make bracers bend from the force.
Vendisioh looked astonished as he said, "That's amazing, that metal is ever stronger than the strongest steels ever and yet he bends it easily just by punching at a simplebarrier … amazing…"
Dervask slowly stepped back from the barrier and unclenched his fists.
Baji looked to Vendisioh and said, "He's done right? He's cured right?"
"Wow Baji…" Habaki said with a large grin, "So much for looking tough, you're even more of a coward then Nausi!"
"Sorry…" Nausi said with a sigh.
Before Habaki could say something to keep Nausi from acting depressed, Dervask grinned and stabbed his claws into his face and ripped it down his face. As the blood flowed out of his carved face he threw his head back and began to cackle.
"Well … that's new…" Vendisioh said plainly.He then looked to Nausi and said, "You hate a lot of things, don't you?"
Nausi looked down but didn't answer Vendisioh's question.
Dervask then stopped cackling and then fell over and fell asleep like as if nothing happened.
Vendisioh blinked at the now sleeping Dervask and said, "Is there such a thing as controlled narcolepsy?"
Habaki then looked to Nausi and said, "Well Nausi, you're the white mage, answer the moogle!"
Nausi slightly brought her head back up andthought for a second and said softly, "Though narcolepsy usually is uncontrollable, I guess that if one truly willed it, they could give themselves narcolepsy, but that is only pure theory…"
Habaki then grinned and said, "Well I guess that is your answer, Mr. Moogle…"
Vendisioh then shrugged and said, "I see… anyway, I think Dervask might be okay now…"
Habaki then yawned loudly and said, "Well that was fun, but I'm going to sleep now, you people should too…" And with that Habaki left to the residential district, Baji then soon followed, and then followed by Vendisioh.
Nausi sighed and sat down next to the barrier, thinking to herself out loud she said, "Why do I have to be such a screw up all the time? A simple healing spell and I even somehow messed that up too…" She then sighed and thought of all the times she did something wrong and of all the times people ridiculed her. She thenhugged herlegsand mumbled, "Maybe I really am retarded…"
"Is that so?" Dervask said aloud, still looking like as if he was asleep, "And here I thought you were a very intelligent person who was just a little clumsy some times, but then again, that's just me, it's your opinion that really matters…"
"What do you … I…" Nausi began to say, but then decided to respond with, "Why should you care anyway?"
"Because you're my sister…"
"So you're saying that you only care because we're related, and if we weren't then you wouldn't?"
"No, because then we would be friends at the least…"
"At the least?" Said the voice of Kagi with a mischievous chuckle, "Getting a little too friendly don't you think, Dervask? I have always wondered about incest…"
Dervask looked around, only to find no sign of Kagi. He sighed and said, "You really need to stopspyingon couples when they're alone, Kagi, you're really starting to scare me…"
"But if I do that, then how I am ever suppose to see the rarest of all couples, Mithra and Elvaan lesbians!"
Dervask paused for a second before saying, "If I wasn't trapped in a barrier, I would be walking this way now…" He then pointed to the right of him.
"Oh, you know a Mithra and an Elvaan having lesbo-sex is something you've always wanted to see…"
Dervask then thought for a second and then yelled out, "Shut up! You have no idea what you're talking about!"
"Hey, where did Nausi go?"
Dervask the looked around and then mumbled, "Damn it all … I blame this on you, Kagi!"
"Fair enough!"
Time pasted quickly for the children, all of them becoming more skilled in their fields. Nausi though, seemed to distance herself from the others more and more as time went on.
On the last day of their training, Vendisioh put all of them into a pitch-black room and stood in the middle of it. Vendisioh grinned and said, "Congrats, after this you all get to go home, take a bath, and sleep as long as you want…" He was not facing them, he was staring off into nothingness.
No one could see each other, but they had a feeling that they weren't alone. Everyone in the room began to mumble, all of it merging together into incoherent babble.
Vendisioh then coughed and said, "Anyway, all you really need to do to get past this test is to defeat the person across the room from you in combat…" He then snapped his fingers and lights turned on. The walls and floor were all made of stone, but there were no torches on the walls to light the room, or any sorce of light for that matter. All of them looked to see themselves on the other side of the room.
"Oh, ha ha, Vendisioh…" Baji said sarcastically, "I sure do love fighting mirrors and all, but I think I'll just do what Kagi is doing and take a nap."
She then began to walk away only to be stopped by Habaki as she said, "I know I'm not the smartest person here, but can anyone else explain to me what the hell is going on right now?"
As Baji looked back to where the mirror was, she noticed her reflection hadn't moved from her spot. The other Baji then walked forward and yelled out, "What's the matter afraid of me? Oh come on, I won't bite … much!" She then laughed.
Baji took a step back and said, "What in the name?"
Dervask looked to her and said, "Wow, she sounds just like you do when you're sleepy!"
Vendisioh then looked over to Baji and said, "Baji, move back to where you were unless you feel like fighting Habaki…"
Baji grinned and said, "What could Habaki do to me? I mean it's easy enough tricking her into running into a wall for crying out loud…"
Vendisioh then coughed and said, "I meant the other Habaki…"
She then thought out loud for a second saying, "Now if she's Habaki's opposite, that means that she would be smart … wait … a smart Habaki? Such a thing would be too powerful to exist in our world … but in their world…" Baji then slowly walked back to where she was before, mumbling, "Damn Habaki, being so damn stupid…"
Vendisioh then grinned and pointed to the group and said, "You will be group white…" He then pointed to the other group and said, "You will be group weiß…"
The other Baji then yelled out, "WooT! Go team weiß!"
The other Habaki then yelled out, "Be quiet Baji, you need to be more serious about things…"
The weiss Baji then grinned and said, "But that's no fun at all!
The white Baji then put her hands over her face in shame and said, "Sweet lord I'm a moron…"
The white Habaki then poke Baji and said, "I think she's funny, why can't you be like her?"
"Because she is a moron…"
Dervask smirked and said, "I think you'd make a better moron…"
Vendisioh then coughed loudly and said, "Okay, well, moving on, who would like to go first?"
The weiss Baji then ran forward and jumped up and down while yelling, "Me! Me, me, me, me, me! I wanna go! Let me go first! I demand it!"
Vendisioh blinked for a second and said, "The Nausis will go first…"
"Don't you mean the Bajis?"
"I said what I ment…"
"But I wanted to go first…"
"Well, I hate you, so it evens out…"
The two Nausis slowly walked forward. The weiss Nausi smirked and said happily, "Hello me who is not me…"
The white Nausi then blinked and said softly, "Umm … Hello…"
"So how does it feel?"
"How does what feel?"
"To be me, and at the same time, not to be me. It must be confusing if not mind boggling."
"Isn't confusing and mind boggling the same thing?"
"Maybe, I forget…"
The white Nausi was at a loss for words as she tried to figure out what was going on.
"Go Nausi!" Yelled the weiss Baji, "Kick your ass!"
The white Nausi soon became lost in thought trying to figure out the physics of everything that had just happened.
"Fight!" Yelled Vendisioh.
The white Nausi then looked to Vendisioh and said, "What?"
The other Nausi swiftly took out her club and struck her opponent upside the head.
The white Nausi stumbled back and put her hand on her head, then looked at it to check for any blood. All of that being in vain for the other Nausi then thrusted her mallet into Nausi's stomach. Nausi bent forward in pain, only to have her opponent bash her on the head, forcing her to her knees.
The weiss Nausi grinned evilly and said, "Pitiful." She then kicked the white Nausi in the head, causing her the bend over backwards.
Vendisioh then yelled out, "That is enough! Team Weiß wins this match…"
The weiss Baji then jumped up and down cheering, "We're number one! We're number one!"
The weiss Nausi had a satisfied grin on her face as she slowly walked towards the rest of her team.
When the white team noticed that Nausiwasn't getting up, they quickly ran to her to see thather nose was broken, herface was bruisedand she wascoughing continuously.
"Damn it…" Dervask mumbled, "How hard did she hit her!"
Habaki balled her fist and stomped over to the weiss Nausi. She growled and yelled out, "What is wrong with you? It's one thing to knock her to the ground, but you just used excessive force just for the hell of it! What are you trying to do? Kill someone?"
All of the team turned to her with a glare on their faces. "Your just mad because you lost…" The weiss Nausi said, "It's not my fault your team sucks in all ways possible…"
"Why you!" Habaki yelled as she pulled her arm back to punch her, only to have the weiss Habaki grab her arm.
"Just stop it, if you want fight, then fight me…" She said, "Assuming you have the guts to take me on…"
The white Habaki growled and said, "Are you naturally annoying, or is that just some strange side effect?"
Vendisioh then looked around and said, "Oh right, I was doing something wasn't I? Okay, the two Habakis, you fight next, get into the center or I will smote you…"
Both Habakis went into the center and faced each other, the white one was growling the entire time saying, "I will beat the hell out of you and have your stupid white mage heal you, just so that way I can beat the shit out of you again!"
"Fight!" Vendisioh then yelled out.
The white Habaki then without realizing it, drained all emotion from her face.
((To save time I will now call white Habaki wHabaki and weiss Habaki vHabaki))
Both Habakis quickly took their greatkatanas off their backs, but vHabaki attacked first. She slashed overhead downward. wHabaki quickly stepped to the side, pulling back her blade she then swung her blade at vHabaki, only to find it in vane. vHabaki bent over backwards, dodging the blow with ease. wHabaki then quickly crouched down and continued to spin around, aiming her sword downward. The weight of vHabaki's sword was too great for her to easily stand back up, but she tried to anyway. The blade of wHabaki dug its self into vHabaki's knee cap. The sound of snapping cartilage and a scream of pain filled the room. wHabaki then slowly yanked her blade from vHabaki's knee, she then pointed her blade at her and said, "Do you give up?"
vHabaki glared at her and said, "I will never give up!"
"Is that so?" wHabaki said with a grin, "Well then I guess I'll just have to kill you then!" She then raised her sword and slashed downward at her throat, only to be stopped by the words, "That is enough, team White wins this match…" spoken by Vendisioh.
wHabaki sinisterly and said, "Congrats, you live … for now…" She then began to walk back to her team's side.
vHabaki growled and yelled out, "Hypocrite! You say we shouldn't try to kill each other, but you tried to kill me just now!"
wHabaki stopped in her tracks and looked back to her weiss from and said simply, "That is because unlike you, when I amin a real fight I don't let my emotions control me, but I guess I did that for no reason, you were so easily defeated that it wasn't even a real fight…" She then began to walk forward again, no longer caring about her other self. As she reached her team she looked to Nausi and said, "You are lucky you don't have to go into combat, it would drive you to insanity…" Habaki then sighed heavily and then yelled out cheerfully, "Damn I am bad ass!" She then began jumping upand down, chanting, "We beat you! We're winning!"
The other Habaki then yelled out, "It's tied you moron!"
"Same difference!"
"Okay the next match will be…" Vendisioh started out, "The Kagis!"
