The Start of it All

[Naphtali]

"Won't let me?  You mean you'll die uselessly making a big show of trying to do something.  Worthless!  Just lie down and die, maggot!"

Shi exploded into action, instantly moving past Ryder and standing next to Ace and Sakura.  His sword was out and swinging before most people could even blink.


[ooc- i may slow down on posts... ugg... 4 am... Kingdom hearts... good...]

[Shuten]

Sakura was unable to do anything as the blade sliced thru her skin spraying her blood everywhere. Falling backwards a bright smile lit her face as she died.

OOC: ^^ \/

[Carthrat]

Carthrat really couldn't care less about the squabbles between gods, but attacking an innocent girl merely to prove a point...

Wasn't that just a little retarded?

He doubted he could really do much, though. Nope, it fell to him.... to go get Kwok.

Running off in the direction he last saw him, he kept his hand on his X-Bomb...

Who knew what it would do, though.

OOC: :p

IC:Ace couldn't say anything.  He couldn't feel anything.  It was worse, he remembered again the first time.  It wasn't a dream.  He couldn't dream anymore; all that was left for him were nightmares.  Dreams were for others.  It was the opposite of what he thought should happen.  Where was the happy ending?  The person that comes in at the last moment to save everyone?  Why couldn't he have a happy ending just one goddamn time in his fucking life?

"Well Shi, I hope your fucking happy,"  He whispered vengefully.  "You've got your victory.  You've caused me pain enough for an eternity.  You've done everything you wanted.  Now leave me alone...just leave me alone..."  

Ace closed his eyes and breathed his last, his aura sluggishly molding back into his lighter blue color an instant before it winked out.

[RyderHakubi]

"Dead..."

Ryder gaped as Sakura was sliced in half, and then Ace's submission to Death's call.

"I won't let it end like this... no, it can't..."

Ryder slung off his bass guitar, and swung at Shi's head...

I might die, but at least I did something... Ryder thought as he swung.

[Naphtali]

[ooc- ironicly, i did not see that coming.  and again posting after a day of Kingdom Hearts... good game.]

Shi turned his head to hear Ryder's mumbling, just in time for a guitar to the face.  *CRACK*  "Ow."  A very sore Shi wiped some blood off his lip and stared at Ryder.

"The hell was that for?!"

[Shuten]

OOC: BWAHAHAHA!!! Since this is set in Final Fantasy X...

IC:

Sakura's essence hovered unseen above her dead form. An overwhelming sense of dread filled her as she tried desperately to cross to the Far Plane[Sp?].

"WHY WON'T YOU LET ME IN?!!" Sakura's scream went unheard. Sadness and rage began to overtake her. The *Fiend's Call* was drawing her in...

"NO!!" The Far Plane[Sp?] was inaccessible and to remain in her current form risked becoming a Fiend... Only one option was left...

Pire Flies began to coalesce around the area. The streams of multicolored energy streamed together faster and faster until a bright flash exploded forth. Finallly the light faded revealing a second Sakura standing next to her dead *twin*.

"It worked..." Sakura stared in awe at her hands. The cloak she had worn when alive had been done away with and the broken Demon Gun lost.

OOC: For those who don't know... Sakura is now an Unsent. Think of it as a Ghost given Physical Form. There's more to it than that but that's really all you need to know at this time.

Anything else regarding the Unsent will be dealt with when/if it comes up in the RPG.

IC:  Ace's body disapeared into the wind, dissolved into a blue dust that blew off into the wind.  It was as if he had never been there.  Farewell Order, we knew you well.

-meanwhile, in some remote city not too far off-

"Hey, Ace!  Get yer lazy ass out here and help we with the chocobos!"  The voice rang out from below, stirring the sleeping youth awake.

Ace opened his eyes and yawned.  Dammit, what time was it?  He looked at his watch.  

"What?!  I overslept through the whole day!"  He cried out.  Bolting from his bed, he quickly dressed and ran out, only pausing to grab some bread.

"Dammit Ace, I thought we were a team, here!"  Billy asked, glaring at Ace, who was running towards him as he gulped down his breakfast/lunch.  

"So sue me, I overslept.  Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Because I thought you were capable of getting up ON TIME."

"Whatever."  Ace brought out the brushes and started the arduous process of cleaning the giant birds.

It was after a few minutes of monotonous work when Ace suddenly felt a giant weight smack him in the head, knocking him down.  It felt like someone pounded his head with a hammer.

"Alright, Billy, what the hell was that for?!"  Ace demanded, pulling his face out of the ground.  But Billy was nowhere to be seen.  And Ace suddenly had a strange sensation in the back of his mind.

"What was that?"  He wondered before turning back to the task at hand.


OOC: If there's something wrong with being reborn, please tell me so I can make whatever changes.  Haven't gotten a ps2 yet, so haven't played ffx. :p

[RyderHakubi]

"That... was for killing the two of..."

Ryder stopped as the Unsent Sakura appeared...

"Uh, well... you did kill Ace..."

OOC: Beautiful non-fight... ^_^;

[Naphtali]

"Don't be stupid, my brother can no more 'die' than I can!  And the girl was merely a human.  Worthless."  He looked at Sakura's spirit for a moment, but then looked by to Ryder.

"Anyway, where'd Kwok go?"

[Shuten]

"I should seek out a Summoner..." Sakura muttered to herself as she headed in what she hoped would be the oppposite direction of the group.

OOC: ...

[Carthrat]

A quick search had proved fruitless, so Carthrat turned up just in time to reply...

"...he's searching for his girlfriend. Damn, you're a mean bastard."

[Kwokinator]

Kwok came back just after Rat's statement.

"Who's a mean bastard?" he asked. "And where's Ace?  I can't sense him here anymore.  He was around just five minutes ago..."

[acetalon]

Ace had a strange unsettling feeling in his skull as he put away the supplies and equipment.  He rubbed his head but couldn't feel out any source of pain or bruises.  Who hit him?

"So we have any orders?"  He called out to Billy as they finised up work.  "We've got a large flock now.  If no one buys soon we might be in trouble."

"Fear not, you lazy bum.  I just so happened to have picked up an order.  A large one too."  Billy rubbed his hands at the prospect of money.

"Really now?  Who's ordering anyways?"

"A 'Maestro Meros' or something like that.  The guy said he'd be at that town nearby.  You know."

"Alright.  Gimme the directions and I'll take the birds down myself."

"Alright."

[Naphtali]

"Ace isn't here anymore.  I was... forced to show him how weak he is..."  Shi idly flicked the blood off his sword and resheathed it.

"What's this about a... 'girlfriend'?"
