Chapter 18
There before me in this window to reality stood Gippal and Rikku. Gippal had obviously just been flirting with her, considering the look that had been on both their faces, and now he was moving in to kiss her. I felt all my emotions swelling as he moved closer and closer. Then, "RAAAAWWW I can't take this," I yelled giving off a huge blast of fire. "Come face me aeons of immense power, for now I feel much stronger and I do not fear you, or even death itself!" I looked over at Bahamut who was chargin giga flare, then at Yojimbo who was drawing his ultimate sword and then at Anima who was preparing to drag me into the abyss to unleash his lower halves power on me. I smirked, and lept as anima sent forth a barage of chains to grab me as both Yojimbo and Bahamut unleashed their attacks too. Exactly what I predicted would happen, did, the flare hit Anima's chains which were thrown directly at Yojimbo who was then dragged into Anima's ultimate attack.
I started laughing hystarically, "Even a team of three of the strongest aeons will fall if they don't try and work as a team." It was only at this moment I took the time to look at myself, and I noticed I had a new yet familiar form. It resembled that of the form I had been taking on when the evil me was taking control. Large claws on my hands and feet, spikes coming out of my back and head, no tail though, or wings. The only diffrence was that I had complete control and my claws on my right arm were made of fire, left were made of lightning. My right leg was coated in Stone and my left surrounded by what looked like a tornado. The spikes on my back and my torso were made of ice. My head, as the voice of the new entity told me was coated in shadow, causing my eyes to glow red too. Look, I can teach you an amzingly strong attack but first you have to group them all into one spot, and be prepared, this will drain all of your strength.
I concaucted a plan as fast as I could. I figured since Yojimbo was mostly close range attacks he would be easyt to lure around. Anima doesn't realy move, except when it is initally summoned, and Bahamut only moves if he has too. After thinking about it the solution became immeaditly apparent to me. I ran straight towards Anima, not one of my smartest moves ever, and jumped behind him. I could hear my plan working already, Bahamut and Yojimbo were forced to move or hit their comrade with their attacks instead of me. As I heard them come within a few feet I used the power of shdow to move myself back in front of Anima and listened to the instructions of the voice of my power of shadow. I charged all the power of my right leg to one spot and did the same with the left leg. I then charged the power of ice in my torso, thepower of shadow in my head and the power of lightning in my left arm. I grabed all these enrgies with my right arm and charged all of my power of fire into it as well. "Oi, you, let's play a game of catch," I yelled throwing the ball which was now no bigger then my fist and glowing bright white, stronger then any lightbulb or flashlight I had ever seen. I think Bahamut took me seriously because he reached out to grab the ball of enrgy.
The instant it touched his palm there was a huge blast of air. Everything seemed to freeze for a moment. Then there was no explosion but a tremendous force pulling toward where the bal of enrgy had been touched. I barely managed to keep myself away. Then there was a huge explosion of fire, ice, rock, wind and electricity. "Whoa," I gasped falling to my knees, "thats a powerful attack, but I feel like I could die if someone were to even just give me a light punch." Good... job, kid, I heard the voice of shadow say. I gasped for breath then fell forward and passed out. Wait, how can I pass out in a dream I thought just before everythign went pitch black again.
"Ohhhh, my bloody head hurts like I just got hit by an airship," I moaned slowly rising from my bed. Back on the airship, but how long was I out, I wondered trying to get to my feet. TONGGG, I heard as I got up and fell flat on my face on the metal floor. "Ouch," I groaned, "must have been out a while if I'm this stiff." I pushed myself up and noticed I felt parched. I decided to try something. I used my ice power to make a large ice cube, more of a ball, in my right hand, then I held the ball over my mouth and used just enough of my fire power to melt the ball slowly and get a nice refreshing drink of cold water. "Much better," I sighed out after melting the whole ball. I twisted my back and neck a heard a few cricks and cracks. "Hmm, think I'll head up to the bridge and see how the others are," I said walking toward the elevator. Being slightly absent minded as I usually was back on Earth I had completely forgotten the fayth's image from before. I yawned as teh elevator stopped at the bridge, "Finally, someone needs to get those goin faster." I walked through teh door to see everyone peering down through the front window but turn the instant they heard the door whoosh open. "What's all this then," I asked seeing a nervous look on the only three idiots in there. Well two since one was Shinra, who is in fact not stupid nor can you see his face.
"Uhh nothing," Brother said waving his arms like a fool. "And I'm supposed to believe that," I asked looking at the other two. "Yup," Buddy confirmed, along with Shinra's nod. I walked forward and saw them group together to block onespot on he window. I made a funny face then looked off to the left, "What the hell is that," I yelled causing them all to look, "duh," I said shoving them all out of my way. Something I almost wish I hadn't have done right after looking out the window. "What is that bastard... I'm gunna freakin kill him," I said attempting to storm off but felt something holding me back. I turned my head to see Buddy, Brother and Shinra all holding me back. "Unless you have some sort of death wish, I suggest you get ff me right now," I growled causing all three of them to let go. I stormed my way tot eh elevator, which seemed to take an eternity to get there. When I got on and turned around I saw the three stooges looking at me again. "We honestly didn't think you were ever going to wake up," Shinra said in his usual muffled voice. I just glared silently as the door closed.
How could they not have thought I was going to wake up, I couldn't have been out that long right? Well to me it seemed only a couple days maybe but then I was "asleep" the whole time so really who knows. That was all that ran through my head on the way down in the elevator. I looked up from my feet when the door began to open and there right in front of me I saw Rikku, or rather her back, she was waving goodbye to Gippal, oi, how do I recognize, wait, why do I care, think later, kill now. I bolted past Rikku storming right for Gippal, not at all expecting two machina to jump me. "Ah, damn it all," I said sliding to a stop and grabing the two guards by the arms and slamming them into each other. "Whoa, down boy," Gippal said in a cocky voice. "Bastard," I yelled stoping my fist an inch from his face as he drew a gun to my head. We sat there for a moment in complete silence, hearing the wind blow. As I stood there I observed my surroundings, apparently the ship had landed just near Djose Temple. I laughed a bit, I had no clue why. The funny thing was Gippal started laughing too. Then I laughed a bit harder and he followed suit. I stodd up straight as he pulled the gun away and we both kept laughing harder, until we just stopped. Rikku had walked over and was looking at us like we were psychotic. We all stood tehre for a moment until Gippal opened his mouth and looked like he was about to say something. Then I nailed him with a right hook right in the side of the head.
He fell to the ground and I let out a sigh of relief having got that out of my system. "You," I said turning to Rikku, "explain... now." She stood there for a moment just staring at me, looking sad. I couldn't take it, "What, just couldn't wait around for me any longer, how long was I out anyways!?" "Over two months," she said in a very small voice that made me go quiet. Two... two months, how... I... even my thoughts were stunned as I stood there. Gippal finally got up adn walked off saying another goodbye to Rikku. I barely noticed however, I was still in shock, Well, Chris, good freakin job on that one, It's not my fault, sure it is... if you had done something about that thing thats like you this wouldn't have happened, everything happens for a reason, ok fine think like that but now you got no reason to be hangin round that ship so you should just take off. I couldn't believe I just had an arguement with myself but both sides had a point. If I took off it would give me more time to think to myself. "You coming Chris," I heard Rikku's voice call out rather sadly. "No... no point, I'm going to go travel, by myself thanks," I replied in a rather monotone voice. "But..." she started. "See you around, maybe," I yelled back as I ran off.
Once I felt I was far enough away I slowed my pace to a walk, and while I walked I thought about all the good times me and Rikku had. After a few seconds that was to painful however so I tried to change my train of thought. "Well, here's a thought, where am I gonna go now," I said stoping in the middle of the road. Hey, let'sss go to the Calmlandssss, then maybe you can get sssome thinking done, after all they are called the "calm"landsss. I usually didn't like listening to voices that embodied dark powers, or voices in my head, but it had a point. "Calmlands it is," I said heading off toward the Moonflow, "bit of a walk it is, I think I shall be running this one." I had already built up more speed then a chocobo by the time I reached the Moonflow. I decided that the shoopuf was to slow and jumped out toward the lake. Just as my feet otuched the water it turned to ice beneath me and as I slid along the ice the water in front of me froze as well too. "Hahaha this rocks, I wish I could do this all night," I yelled thinking of something fun to try. I leaned over as I continued to slide and then splashed a lot of water out in front of me. I ducked as it froze and I went up and did a loop. "Little low to teh water but it worked," I said as I came ashore. "Hmm, I've got one more idea," I said thinking for a moment. I used my right leg to make a large pillar of rock lift me up high. "Step one, check, commence step two," I said jumping forward and hoping that the power of air could lift me, I got my answer right away. "Ha, I can fly, and I don't need no stinkin' airship," I said doing a loop-da-loop. "To the Calmlands," I yelled flying off.
