Well, we left the Agency (After paying for Cliff and Kuro's damage fees, which I had to pay since Kuro didn't have the money...) and we made our way to the Macalania temple.
"It's freezing!" Kyoko complained cuddling Train as she walked.
"Let me go! I can walk on my own!" Train shouted. Kuro had managed with some kind of magical inhuman speed to sew him a pair of clothes that looked somewhat close to the Quincy clothing style from Bleach and his own. There was a funny blue cross on the back...
"No! You're my only heat source Kuro-sama!" Kyoko whined and hugged him closer.
"I do admit, it is a tad bit cold..." Hakkai said snuggling into his parka. The Agency was nice enough to give them to us free of charge-well, not really... We had to help to clean around abit (Especially the room Hei-san was in...) THEN they gave us the parkas. I breathed into my hands and rubbed the together. Man it was getting really cold! Even Albel was showing it by the way his teeth were chattering. Kuro was completely fine with Kariudo, they were sharing Hao's Spirit of Fire's heat to keep warm. Kel handed out more of his Fire disks to anyone that needed it, which was almost everyone.
"I wonder why they made a road where it's so cold." Heihachi asked walking up beside me. I could barely see him under his wings, he wrapped them around himself to try and keep warm and had pulled his goggles over his eyes to block out the snow. I shrugged still trying to jump over the snow.
"Man, I know I wanted winter to come but this is ridiculous!" Kuro growled then looked up, "Oh thank god... We're at the temple..." Yes, we were at the temple.
The temple invaded by a bunch of machina and... Other strange machines... They kinda reminded me of Gundams.
"The Nobuseri? How far have they spread?" Gorobei said drawing his sword, Kyuzo slid both of his katana from his back.
"So, this is the group of guardians I've heard so much about." a voice said from above, "How interesting, I wonder if Yuna failed at destroying Sin?" A blue hair man floated above us with a smile on his face and icy blue eyes. I already knew who it was.
"What if we are?" Kuro asked ejecting her scythe.
"Well, if I can not possess Sin, then I will possess the mighty Aeons that defeated it." Seymour Guado smirked.
"Demon's Lance!" Leon shouted throwing the spell at Seymour, "Kuro, GO!"
"The three of you go to send the Aeon, we'll hold this strange girly man out here." Kakashi said pulling up his head band revealing the shuriken.
"Girly man?" Seymour twitched with the sense of indignation and insult.
"We only need one summoner to go in, Kuro has the fire element so we'll stay out here." I said, "Kyoko, go with Kuro!"
"But-!"
"Take Train with you!" I quickly added. As good as a shot he is, he won't hold out against all the machina and the bandits, better to have him safe with two of the strongest people here.
"HOORAY!" she shouted happily.
"NOOOOOOO!" Train screamed, "SVEEEEEEEN!"
"TRAAAAAAIIIIINNNNN!" Sven shouted back.
"SVEN!"
"TRAIN!"
"LITTLE PRINCESS!"
"TRAI- Wait a sec, Eve?"
As some other group members (Hao, Shao Li, Eve and Albel...) Seymour floated above the machina with a wicked smile and a creepy laugh.
"Well, I suppose I could watch you all fight your lives away, General?"
A giant blue Nobuseri gundam thing floated up from the canyon surrounding the temple, "Yes?"
"Send your troops and do battle, do take some time to play with them though. Don't destroy the temple." Seymour ordered casually and magically made some kind of chair out of thin air for himself to sit on. The General nodded and drew it's giant sword.
"ATTACK!"
ʓʓʓ
"Kiako, follow my lead!" Kakashi shouted, "Kage bunshin no jutsu!"
"Kage bunshin no jutsu!" I quickly copied and our clones charged at the first front lines of the machina blowing them to bits. Oscar jumped onto his horse pulling down his helmet visor and stabbed at the smaller Nobuseri (That looked like tin cans to be truthfully honest.) while his horse stomped on the mahina. Kein and Kel had polevaulted into the middle of the group and both spun together into a circle knocking machina back. Zero jumped into the air over the Nobuseri and quickly did a handseal.
"Souryuu Boufuusetsu! (Super Dragon Storm!)" he shouted, Two black cyclones flowed from his hands extending into the shape of dragons with glowing red eyes and he swung his arms around covering most of the area of the machines tearing them apart. Kakashi jumped into the air and quickly copied the technique with his Sharingan.
"Elthunder!" Soren chanted throwing out bolts of lightning from his spell book. (A/N: I have no idea if this is the way he fights, I just know the spell names, kinda.) Sven blasted them with his attache case and his many bombs with cat faces on them while Kariudo, Vincent and Charden shot at them from above an ice mound. Charden sprayed a large amount of his blood over the crowd.
"Everyone back away!" he shouted, "Bloody rain!" the blood solidified into hundreds of tiny needles that showered down on the nobuseri and machina. He slumped onto one knee panting.
"Charden!" I jumped up to him and after chanting a few words, cast Regen on him and went back to help the others. Man, I hope Kuro's having more luck with Shiva then we are, the machina seem endless! I quickly ran to Cliff who had just been shocked by a machina.
"Man, they just keep coming and coming!" he said and jumped back to his feet, "We're gonna need reinforcements soon..."
The samurai were trying to take out the Nobuseri General. They, seemed ok...
"HUAAAOOH!" Kikuchiyo shouted throwing Kyuzo and Gorobei up at the General directly. The general, with an annoyed tut swung his sword at the samurai. Kyuzo dodged by rebounding from the blade and slashing the general's shoulder. Gorobei, wasn't as lucky and got swatted.
"Protect!" I thrust my hands up at him. He crashed through the blue barrier like it was glass, "Protect! Protect!" I kept casting Protect and eventually, I saw his decent slowly uh, slowing down...
"I've got you Old man!" Kiku shouted running back and forth underneath Gorobei trying to pin point his landing spot. I grit my teeth and focused my magic.
Harden, Harden...
He broke through another barrier.
Don't break!
"PROTECT!" I shouted. The barrier held.
For a moment...
"Oof!" Gorobei landed on the ground and sat up rubbing his sides, "Man, lucky that last drop was only 4 feet..." I quickly went to check his wounds. Let's see, three broken ribs, some internal and external bleeding...
"Jeez, is it that bad Doc?" Gorobei humoured, "You've got such a grave face."
"Nothing I can't fix." I smiled and placed my hands over different parts of his torso, "Cura!" He flinched back a bit surprised and stood up checking himself. With a grin and a thanks, he drew his sword again and ran off to fight the machina. I stood up and watched the others fighting.
Hakkai had used his Gaichuu Kujyo to blow away the machina, Vale was slashing and swinging his Rapier around and somehow looked graceful while doing it, Chichiri was casting multiple spells and shooting his KANT chi blasts and Cliff and Fayt were pulling off a wide range of attacks.
"Sphere of Might!"
"Air Raid!" Fayt jumped into the air throwing down multiple explosives and a spell circle glowed around his hand, "Deep freeze!" a mist started to roll in and solidify into a glacier.
"Firaga!" Seymour suddenly shouted. Fayt screamed as the fire spell blasted his spell apart and throwing him back. Kariudo slid under him to cushion his fall.
"Fayt? Fayt!" she cried, "Kiako!" I was already on my way and skidded to where they were laying. Fayt had a few burns on him and had an icicle lodged in his chest. It was a thin icicle, but it was through his chest none the less. Judging from his laboured breathing, it probably hit his lung...
I gave my head a shake. I don't have time to think what's wrong! I just need to fix it!
"Ian! Get over here!" I called and in a moment Ian was at my side, "I need you to cast Fire to melt the icicle."
"Cast Fire!" Kariudo was practically mortified.
"His fire magic is weak enough for us to use, as soon as the icicle is gone I can heal Fayt." I said. Wrong. I might not be able to heal Fayt. His breathing was slowing down and this cold weather didn't help either...
"Ok." Ian nodded and wrapped hs hand around the icicle, "Fire!" Fayt gasped as his blood started to spew out.
"Cura!" I shot the magic into his wound. It was still pouring blood, "Cura! Cura! Cura! CURA DAMMIT CURA!" I could slowly see his breathes getting shorter and shorter.
Fayt was dying.
ʓʓʓ
"Don't you die on me!" Cliff said, "This ain't funny if you think it is!" I growled and put my hands almost directly into the wound. I willed for all my power to go into his body. To heal him. To make sure that he wouldn't die in my hands. To make sure not another person died in my hands. Not again...
"C-Cliff... Kari...udo..." Fayt's eyes fluttered open a bit and he raised his hand up, "I...I don't... Want to..."
"You ain't gonna die!" Cliff said grabbing Fayt's hand, I could tell he was trying to prevent himself from screaming out. Kariudo nodded taking hold of Fayt's hand as well. Fayt smiled.
"I just wish... I could... Finish..." he coughed.
"Just shut up, talking makes you die faster." Kakashi said.
"Everyone... I'm...Sorry..." Fayt's eyes drifted shut and his hand slipped out of Cliff and Kariudo's shaking hands. I sat there, feeling a stabbing sensation flowing into my heart.
"Damn you... Damn you Fayt!" Cliff roared grabbing Fayt up by the collar of his shirt and shaking him, "Wake up you bastard! WAKE UP!"
"Cliff calm down! Shaking him and screaming won't bring him back!" Ian shouted as he, Kel and a few others tried to calm the Klausian.
I... I failed... Again... I failed again... Why when I try so hard to help my friends I always fail!
I stared down at the white blood stained snow. Like my hands... My whitemage gloves were completely covered in blood. His blood. I couldn't save him... He probably wanted to see Sophia, his family... I looked up at Kariudo, who still had her hand out in the same position. I leaned over a bit pulling off my gloves and put my hand on her shoulder. She threw herself into my and started to cry into my shoulder. I wasn't really sure what to do, since I've never seen Kariudo cry, not once, she was always so strong...
I just rubbed her back, holding her as she cried for the first time since I've met her.
"It IS so amusing to watch humans wallow in their emotions. The human heart is so delicate." Seymour laughed. Apparently during the whole thing he had stopped the army of machina and watched us like some kind of movie. I wanted so bad to just go up there and punch him. To hell with his magic, to hell with the machina, to hell with the Bandits!
I looked back down at Kariudo, who had managed to stop her sobs and surpress them into silent tears. I felt her pull away and wipe her eyes.
"You... I'll kill you!" she screamed taking out her gun and charging towards Seymour.
"Kariudo!" Hakkai reached out and grabbed her coat. She wriggled out of it and continued charging. I stumbled to my feet dashing after her.
"Kiako!"
I ignored them and thought of the dress sphere that would cause the most damage, the most hurt, the most pain to these bastards who took our friend away! The whitemage robes tore off of me showing different furs underneath. I dropped to all fours and ran with Kariudo, who nodded at me.
"DIE!" we both shouted jumping at Seymour.
Kariudo shot of bullets in a hail storm and when Seymour knocked them away with his magic, she threw the gun away and punched at him ejecting her wrist saber. Seymour knocked her away. The bastard! I managed to swing up his arm and bite him on the neck. No blood pooled into my mouth, only the sick taste of cold flesh that felt like leather. I wretched but dug my Berserker claws into his back.
"Not bad, for a kitten." Seymour mused and grabbed my head pulling me off of him. He lifted me higher into the air and hurled me back down to the ground. I landed hard on my shoulder and thought of another dress sphere. Spikey black armour crawled and encased my body as a large black broad sword similar to Auron's Masamune emerged from the ground to me. I stared at the machina still trying to attack us and slammed my sword into my ground.
"Darkness!" I shouted. Black energy surged from my body blowing away any machina that came even close to a 4 meter radias. I jumped through the crowd again slashing at all the machina in the crowd. Eventually I felt a sting in my back and was slammed in from both sides. I winced and fell on one knee using my sword as a support.
Damn... Damn damn damn damn! I glared out from within my sallet at the machina until something sweeped it away.
"Hey! Sorry we're late! Got a bit held up." Kuro said and rose into the air, "Armour Phoenix Oversoul!" armour slid over Kuro's small body and she looked like a giant metal phoenix. Swooping and dashing back and forth, she destroyed a bunch of machina all at once. Hao was riding on Spirit of Fire as it swept away at the army of machina. Watching the others fighting and feeling fatigue overwhelm me from the Darkness attack, I slowly slumped onto both hands and fell to the ground.
ʓʓʓ
I opened my eyes to see a strangely decorated ceiling and shot up looking around ready to attack anything that came near me. I stopped when I noticed I was inside a room on a bed. The room in the Macalania Agency. I couldn't forget it. We spent a whole hour cleaning it.
"Hey, are you ok?" I looked to see Heihachi was seated on a stool, his hat set on the night stand. He also had some badnages on his cheek and around his arm. I nodded and squeezed a pillow.
"What happened? What am I doing here?" I asked.
"You collapsed on the battle field, don't worry everyone else is safe." he said and looked down, "Fayt, we were going to bury him as soon as you woke up."
Fayt...
I hopped out of the bed and noticed I was in my normal clothes. Kuro must've change me back to normal manually through my Garment grid, I don't feel it in my pocket anymore...
"We, better not keep them waiting then huh?" I said and tried to smile a bit. Heihachi nodded and stood up following me. As soon as I reached the door, I clutched my hand over my chest. That stabbing feeling... It was back again...
"Kiako-chan?"
"It hurts Hei-san..." I felt myself start to cry, "I failed, and it hurts..." I felt Heihachi walk around me and pull me into a hug wrapping his wings around me.
"I know..."
Authors notes: Yay, I finally killed someone off like D3pa1 wanted me to do last year. My computer keeps freezing up, but at least the chapters I do get done. Thankfully this time I made a back up of the chapter so I didn't lose it all. Sorry if some people are a bit out of character! It's just how I imagine it all. Thanks for reading! Hope you Fayt fans can forgive me... Sorry it's also a bit shorter than usual, I need to clean my desk...
