Chapter: 6
This is kinda filler chapter, but it explains what happen before Yunnie found Aya. Enjoy!
The game we played that day, as the remains of Pulse continued to fall...If I had known that would be last time I would speak to them...I would've said so much more...
A girl was laying in the floor of her house, watching cartoons with her two brothers. The three of them were triplets, and had truned ten that day. "Aya! Miko! Piko! Come in here!" Thier mother shouted from the kitchen. All three kids jumped up and ran toward the sound of her voice. When they ran into the kitchen, their mother, Meami, turned and smiled at her children. "How would you guys like to go to the beach for your birthday today?" The triplets nodded vigorously; they had never been to the beach before. Meami laughed and said, "Alright, let's go!"
As they prepared to leave, a flash went through the youngest of the three, Aya's head. In her mind, she saw red flashes of light shoot across a violet backround. Aya stopped at the door of her house, confused. Whatever she had seen...it didn't feel right going outside today. Meami turned to her. "Aya, sweetie, what's wrong?" Aya looked up at her mother, "I don't want to go outside. I feel funny." Meami frowned and picked up her daughter. "Don't worry, honey. Nothing will happen."
When they got to the beach, Aya's older brothers took her hands and ran to the water, yelling, "First one there is a rotten egg!" They played in the sand, making castles. Aya and Meami were the princess and queen of the castle, while Miko and Piko protected them from the dragon that was trying to kidnap them. "Oh, no!" Meami cried, pretending to feel faint, "Whatever shall we do, princess Aya?" Aya giggled and held up her hands, "Don't worry, queen Mama! Sir Miko and Sir Piko will save us!"
Suddenly, the sky darkened, and the winds picked up. Meami slowly stood up, staring at the sky. Her icey blue eyes widened, reflecting the sky like a mirror. Bright red meteors flew from the sky, glowing against the purple sky. As the meteors crashed into the sand, Meami heard her children scream and turned around. A crack had appeared in the ground between her and her kids, the whole planet shaking. As the gap got bigger, Meami yelled, "Come on, kids! Jump, it's not that wide yet!" Miko and Piko jumped across and fell into their mother's arms, crying. Meami turned to Aya, who was still on the other side. "C'mon, Aya, sweetie! I'll catch you!" Aya looked down at the gap, which was wider than the sidewalk. Taking a few stepps back, Aya raced forward and jumped...
...but didn't make it.
"AYA!" Her mother screamed as Aya dissapeared below.
Ian winced. They were trying their best, but it seemed as if the meteors were endless. Every time they would cut through one to stop it from hitting Midgar, another one would fall. Ian watched her comrades fall to the ground with exhaustion, one after another. Pain shot through her, and Ian, too, fell..
Mamacita cut through the rock. Her arms burned from over-use, her legs cut and bruised. Behind her, Mariposa sat on a marble perch, overlooking the battle with worry. When Mamacita fell to one knee, Mariposa shouted her name. Mamacita struggled to stand, but couldn't. Mariposa stood from her perch and seemed to float over her partner. Hands clasped in prayer, Mariposa closed her eyes. The meteors continued to fall. She opened her bright red eyes and sent a shockwave of red energy around the planet. Her arms and head fell back. Mamacita looked with horror.
"Mariposa!"
Unable to fight, Mamacita fell to the ground.
When Aya woke, she was laying face first on the ground. Slowly, she sat up and looked around. Meteors still fell from the sky, glowing bright in the darkness. Laying around her were girls, eyes closed and bloody from battle. Aya felt eyes on her and turned to see a woman standing behind her with brown hair and red eyes. The woman nodded slightly in her direction before dissapearing in a stream of blue-green light. Fatigue suddenly took her, and Aya fell back into the darkness of sleep.
Review! Sorry it's so short!
