Authors note: yeah, this is the second chapter that i finished while in school...I hope i got the geography of the Xillia world right, Because i wasn't sure about the whole thing during my online German class today because i couldn't go on websites to help because my school blocks the useful ones.
Anyways i hope this interests you as to who the assassin was...I originally planned to make myself go with Jude and Milla, but i just typed and typed last chapter and this is what it led me to. I'm working on a third chapter which will bring in another character tales fans will recognize...
Another thing is that IRL i do know how to knock people out from behind but i don't know how to use weapons so that just an accurate portrayal of me i'm sure...
Chapter 2: The Very Clumsy Female Assassin
I started running as fast as the assassin told me to, but this was odd. Most would disappear into the shadows and not run away. Anyways we made it out of the town safely to the Barnauer Highroad or at least what looked like it from what I remember about the game. I believe I can assume we'll be heading to Fort Gandala, and from there to Sharilton.
"So now that we're a safe distance from Fennmont, will you show me your face?" I asked the assassin with slight curiosity.
"Well…I'm not really sure." She said with slight hesitation.
Well I guess it wasn't serious for now, but I can't do any battle alongside her.
"Hey kid can you fight?" The Assassin asked me
Funny I was just on that topic within my head. "Not really, But why do you ask?"
"I wanted to know if I was going to be fighting monsters alone or with help."
"Well if you give me something I could probably pick it up…" I said trying my hardest to not look at those knockers I just realized she had.
"Here kid, Try this out" She said while throwing over two blades tied together with rope. I assume she meant for me to try and duels wield them.
"Okay I'll see what I can do, but tell me your name and purpose" I said with a hint of annoyance at how large those melons are.
She took off the hood and scarf covering her face to reveal hair as black as night. She was staring at me with such intensity in those amber eyes of hers. She posed for me which was kind of weird.
"My name is Sheena Fujibayashi, and my purpose? Well that's because I'm on a mission that I'm not allowed to speak of" She told me…wait Sheena Fujibayashi? From Tales of Symphonia? What the hell is she doing here?
"Well it's nice to meet you, and I guess your mission saved my life so thanks" I replied with a smile.
"You're welcome, but hey one's gotta wonder why those guards were chasing you" She said while crossing her arms.
"I knocked out a guard so some friends of mine could escape" I told her completely knowing that I hadn't even spoken to them yet.
She gestured me to come closer, when I realized I was completely distant from her. When playing through her game she was my favorite character but I really shouldn't tell them about that, but that should only give me reason to move closer.
"Hey Sheena, what does your mission have to do with me?" I asked
"Nothing at all, I just felt like saving you. In all honesty my mission was done." She said with a smile so bright.
"Well what were you doing in Fennmont?"
"I was spying on Rashugal, but I cannot divulge any more than that" She said in a serious tone to me.
"Alright then, if that's all I guess we should be heading out?" I asked her ever so annoyed at her.
"Yeah, and if we keep going this way then we'll have to go through Fort Gandala."
"I know, afterwards we'd be well on our way to Sharilton am I right?"
"Yeah, but let's watch our back because there are plenty of monsters all over."
"If we encounter them than that'll be that" I said in a tone that made sure the conversation was over.
We continued walking for a while until we made it to the fort. I knew nothing would happen here for a while but I couldn't stand not being able to do anything about it.
"Hey Sheena, how are we going to get past the fort?" I asked her
"I got this, just wait here." I saw her get onto the roof when suddenly she dropped down out of nowhere.
"SHEENA!" I yelled but to no avail. So I decided to climb up there.
"Dante!" I heard an echo coming from a…pitfall trap?
I was curious as to why there was a random pitfall trap on the roof of the fort. I realized it was Sheena calling my name out through the deep pit I assume. All I heard was her echoes coming from down below.
"Sheena! Are you all right down there!?" I shouted down the hole.
"I'm Just Fine!" She shouted back up to me.
"I'm gonna try to find another way down there! Is there a door down there to get out!?" I asked knowing the probably impossible.
"Yeah it say's 'enter cell here'!"
"Well don't enter the cell! I'll come get you!"
"Okay, I'll just chill down here I guess!" She shouted with a bit of sadness.
Well, I don't know what Jude, Milla, and Alvin are doing but it seems I have some problems of my own to deal with. I hope the history of this world doesn't change because Sheena and I are here, but only time will tell I guess.
First thing's first though, I need to get inside the Fortress and find my way down there. Damn it, all I have to fight with is two mediocre ninja blades at best. Well I can duel wield like the main character of Xillia 2 was supposed to or even like Lloyd.
It's really a damn shame I can't use spirit artes like the Rieze Maxians can otherwise the battles to come would be much easier.
As I walked away from the Pitfall I realized that this must happen to her a lot. In the games it seemed like they just over exaggerated the whole pitfall trap thing, but after seeing this within an hour and a half of knowing her I must say the game did not lie.
She Really is the Very Clumsy Female Assassin.
Author's note: I hope I got Sheena's personality and Character right...I'm sorry if i didn't get the right eye color...because i was in school when i wrote this it was hard to figure it out...i hope you'll correct me...
Oh and also i hope my writing skills aren't super lame...tell me if they are please?
Anyways the Third Chapter is coming up soon...I think i'll finish it tomorrow, because i want to break the 2,500 word marker once again like i did on the first chapter because this one was short.
