Disclaimer: Once again, I would like to point out that I do not own Soul Nomad and the World Eaters, or the characters in it, or the words that are said in the game. I'm just making this story here. If I did own it, people's minds would explode.

ON WITH THE STORY!

Hotpod Surprise

Soul mate?

-Recap-

Layna nodded her head and spoke to the voice, as if she knew who it was. "Indeed, it has been many years... Gig." She stopped and gazed back at the sword, seeming to make eye contact with what was in the sword. "I, too, have long awaited this day."

-End Recap-

The air in the room was tense and barely anyone spoke a word. Revya's grip tightened on the swords hilt as Layna watched carefully at what was going on with the young girl and the weapon. The quiet was soon broken by the young sepp, standing in shock.

"L-Lady Layna?" She squeaked out as best she could out of fear, "Wh-what is this?" Danette was afraid, for the first time in her life, to approach her best friend. Everything that was happening was sudden and hard to take in. She looked to her caretaker and idol for answers. "What's going on with that sword! Is she gonna be okay?" Worry etched into every word.

Layna held a solemn face now as she looked towards the sepp girl, trying to find the best way to answer her questions without answering everything. She seemed troubled and all together weary. She started by explaining about the sword. "Two hundred years ago… I gazed into a black shadow." Her voice held a grave tone as she recalled the event, "And it gazed back…"

Danette did not seem to understand, but listened with great intent. Revya only continued to struggle between the power of the sword and her consciousness. "It threatened to destroy everything, but I hunted it down. And this sword… was the trap." A blinding red light entered the room near Layna the Venerable, appearing in its place was a red gem shaped like a teardrop. It held the deepest shade of red, almost like blood. Danette's eyes widened in shock as she watched the crystal float in the air on its own.

-Danette's POV-

"H-hey… What's that red crystal?" I gazed at it, feeling a connection that was tugging both my mind and my heart to it. It felt welcoming… and at the same time sad. "It feels almost… familiar." Lady Layna held a sympathetic look on her face, though it puzzled me as to why.

"This jewel is called the Crimson Tear." Layna explained as she turned her focus back onto my best friend.

-Revya's POV-

As I struggled to listen to both Danette and Lady Layna converse, I heard a sudden shout amongst the noise that I heard in my head. "Now, behold… the fusion begins!" I heard Lady Layna's cry and it startled me a little. 'A…fusion? For what and to whom?' I thought in a panic as I tried to focus on staying conscious until all I saw was black.

As things began to come into some focus, I noticed I was not by myself. Getting in an automatically tense stance, I looked to where I sensed the presence. What I saw surprised me. There was a boy, standing… or floating, I couldn't really tell at this point if there was a floor, not far from where I was. He had messy dirty grey hair, though it looked a bit of brown was tinted in it and shockingly deep blue eyes. Under his eyes were two blue rectangular stripes it seemed, or a form of marking. The boy wore what looked like a sleeveless greyed down purple dress shirt with a white collar and white X patches going down the front and black dress pants and shoes to go with the look, his hands shoved in his pant pockets. What was floating around him puzzled me. It was like floating dark purple arms connected by decorative piece in the middle, with matching purple bracelets to match. The middle piece held blood red gems, much like the sword I… had been holding. Glowing reddish pink stripes decorated the arms that floated there. He was almost… cute in a sick, evil, twisted way. Something that scared me to no end, but he spoke and broke me from my thoughts.

"Ahh, it's damn good to be back! I can't wait to break in my new body." He said in a sadistic tone, clearly taking enjoyment out of other people's discomfort. This sent a scared shiver down my spine that I quickly repressed. Being brave, I decided to be a little bit civil.

"Who are you?" Okay… maybe not that civil.

He smirked and shrugged it off like it was nothing. "Me? Oh, just the most hardcore ass-kicker to ever walk the planet is all. The destroyer of everything! The commander of the World Eaters! But hell, you can just call me Gig." Egotistical was definitely on the list of what this kid was, just my luck.

"Why were you in that sword?" I asked, figuring Gig was the only one right now that could give me the answers that came to my mind right now…or at least some of them.

Gig's face immediately soured, but kept his cool facade. "Oh, that. Well, thanks to that old wench, I had to abandon my body two hundred years ago." He growled out, "I killed her first, of course. But that tricky witch must've had another soul up her sleeve or something." The look on his face looked peeved. 'Okay, a tender subject I take it.' I thought to myself as he continued to explain to me what happened.

"She caught me off-guard and almost killed me for good. But I stole some of her juice and jumped into that sword. I never figured out why she kept the sword around, but I stayed there, waiting for my chance to get out." Gig paused with a cruel smile etched onto his face, I shuddered, "I've been waiting two hundred years… But now I've got you! A nice, young, healthy set of limbs!"

I looked at him in surprise. 'What… the hell does that mean!' I panicked a bit and quickly blurted out, "What are you planning to do?" Though I wanted to, I fought the urge to clamp my hand over my mouth at my out burst. Gig looked around with a chuckle and a comfortable smile.

"Heh heh. I haven't even done anything yet, and I already feel right at home!" He muttered to himself, and then looked at me. A surprised yet irritated face showed up on his features. "What, you still don't get it?" I merely blinked my confusion. "I'm taking over your body, stupid!"

I sat there… puzzled by my situation. 'What have I gotten mixed up in…?' I thought, my mind already becoming stressed from the confusion I was in and what little I understood of my situation.

-Gig's POV-

I looked at the kid in annoyance. She really was pretty slow, and way to pathetic for my taste. But that was soon to change once I get a hold of her body. I could only pride myself in the confusion that was etched so carefully on her face as she began to panic. Entertainment that could last me for centuries. Then, she finally utters something from her pie hole.

"You mean… you're going to kill me?" The kid asks. 'How laughable. Time to educate this little sack of meat.' I thought, I really did hate explaining things to people who weren't worth it. I mean come on!

I grinned my best smile, a sadistic twinkle in my eye I'm sure, as I explained to her what was gonna happen. "Kill you? Heh. Nah, that'd be too easy. What'll happen is, your soul will just… disappear." She seemed a bit frightened at that thought. 'Perfect.' "And then I can beat this meat puppet to hell till I'm done with it! Hahaha!" I let out a harsh, gleeful laugh. Hey, I thought it was a great idea.

-Revya's POV -

I stared at Gig. Clearly this kid was as mad as they come. Then he said something that was not anything I would expect from him.

"Now… Give me dominion over your body…" He asked… almost in a polite way. 'Like hell I'm going to do that! Are you crazy!' I thought… okay that last part was a little redundant. I scoffed and stuck my nose up at him in defiance, making my answer pretty clear. I wasn't going to back down to a mad man, even if he was a little cute. Gig snarled and glared in my direction. "Damn it! I knew you'd be a pain in the ass. Whatever, it doesn't matter. I knew things weren't gonna be easy." He heaved a heavy, over dramatic sigh.

'Then why ask you idiot!' I thought angrily. Gig gave me a serious look on his face, making him look a bit more civil if not more dangerous than he had been. He walked over to me to say whatever was on the tip of his tongue.

He gave me a fake, clearly annoyed smile. "Okay, here's the thing. We have to make a deal so I can use your body. Now that you've signed over your body, you can command power totally unknown to the average peon. That should keep you happy for awhile." I held back a scoff as I sent him a heated glare, which he ignored and went on speaking. "But maybe you're really greedy! Maybe you'll need even more power. That's when you give me a call." Gig smirked, his ego clearly kicking in now.

'Show off…'

"I can lend you all the powers of a god…for a price." The gray haired boy grinned sadistically after he finished. "The more of my power you use, the more control I gain over your body. You use your power to get what you want. … And I come a little closer to my own goals. You scratch my back, I crush yours. Pretty sweet, huh?" Clearly he was enjoying that thought way too much.

"Yeah, for a sadist moron that's power hungry…" I muttered to myself, Gig scoffed and shook his head. I glared at him to make my decision clear. "I don't need that kind of power." He gave me a chuckle in return.

-Normal POV-

Gig smirked and a gleam in his eyes was shown as he turned his back on Revya. Amused by the will power of the girl, he had to hand it to her. 'Normally people would be shitting their pants and asking me to spare them. This one's gonna be a fun one.' He grinned to himself. "Heh. Fine if you say so."

Revya watched him walk away into the pitch black that surrounded them. He waved his hand and turned his head with a small smile. "But if you change your mind, you know where to find me. I'll be waiting, my little soul mate…" The last word rolled off his tongue that made Revya shiver and cringe at the same time. This was going to be the start of something really bizarre…

-End Chapter-

Sorry that it's been so late with an update guys! I was trying to focus on graduating high school and then things just kinda got hectic. So what do you guys think? I think it's kind of a mess but let me know how you guys think of how I portrayed the characters. I'm not sure if I've got them quite right yet.

Reviews would be nice please!
