Final Fantasy: Online Another World

[i]The International Spacecraft Show was due to begin in an hour's time. Sephiroth had used the afternoon to sit in his hotel room and polish his Masamune, while Karu and Chole had decided to browse the local market.

Karu had bought "Madam Butterpetal's Chocolate Favourites", which were packaged in a small, brown, silk pouch with silver string tied around the top. Karu liked magical things, and this particular chocolate was unique in that it was able to change to whatever flavour the person eating it thought of when putting it in their mouth. There weren't many magic shops in Solhara City, but those which existed were better than Karu had seen in the Kingdom of Physar.

Chole, on the other hand, had been looking for new rollerblades. And he'd found an amazing pair at one of the many Rollerblade stores across Solhara. Since Solhara was really the world's "technological gizmos mecca", there were a wealth of options when it came to any consumer product.

The pair in question were black with red wheels. They not only looked funky, but they used the latest forms of anti-gravity technology, which the Metropod race had become famous for. Basically, by pressing the right heel against the ground, the wheels would turn on their sides and start to glow bright red -- allowing the wearer to hover and "skate" along thin-air.

Chole had bought his new rollerblades and tried them on in the store -- and decided to wear them for the rest of the day.

As night began to fall, Chole and Karu met up with Sephiroth outside their hotel. It didn't seem at all like nighttime in Solhara City; some places were flooded with so much neon light, that they looked like they were places in a dream -- they were so surreal at times.

It seemed as though Solhara City was regularly having at least one kind of festival or show. The Annual Gun Festival had finished that day, but tonight was the first night of the International Spacecraft Show. The show was being held partly inside the Solhara City Exhibition Center, but as most of the giant spacecraft couldn't fit in the building, organizers had decided to hold the rest of the show in the city's City Center -- a huge, paved area full of fountains and carefully-pruned shrubs.

As the three came closer to the Exhibition Center, they saw huge crowds of people ahead. The crowds were so large, infact, that the Center looked very far away indeed. Loudspeakers were set up everywhere and they could hear an announcer say[b] "Ah yes, what a show we have on tonight, ladies and gentlemen! We have more than three million visitors to the International Spacecraft Show tonight! Isn't that amazing?! Organizers say that tomorrow will be even MORE crowded, with more than four million visitors from all over the city. However, numbers won't be larger than last year's record of twelve million visitors, because of the fact that the city's gates have been closed for the foreseeable future. Sad it might be, but we're certainly not complaining! How lucky we all are to live in such a grand and beautiful city! The monsters outside our gates won't dare harm us -- with our race's technological prowess, nothing would dare attack us! Hahah! Anyway, we hope that everyone enjoys the 50th Annual International Spacecraft Show! Remember to validate your Citizen Pass at one of the local Identification Kiosks!"
[/b]

The trio looked at each other.[/i]

Chole: There is no way we could possibly get in the Exhibition Center with so many people about!

Sephiroth: Hmm, it would seem to be a hurdle...

Karu: But we MUST get in there by tonight! They'll be debuting the SC-3000! It's the only way to get out of the city if we want to go within the next week!

Chole: Yeah I know, Karu...but how can we make our way through this crowd?

Karu: I don't know...:(
[i]

Karu looked down as he pondered the seemingly impossible task of getting through the huge crowd.

And then he noticed a manhole cover...[/i]

Karu: Hey guys...look over there. We could use the sewer system!

Chole: Are you serious?! I don't want to crawl through that...

Karu: But Solhara City hasn't used it in more than twenty years! Remember, their toilets now have a Waste Neutralizer...they don't need sewers anymore! There would be nothing down there...no people to bother us...it'd be an easy ride. We could walk to the manhole directly underneath the Exhibition Center, if we were to walk north all the way.

Sephiroth: The kid has a point...I say we do it...

Chole: Oh alright...let's go!

[i]Chole, Sephiroth and Karu walked over to the nearest manhole cover and pulled it off. They then slipped down into the darkness under the crowded streets of Solhara City...

...but little did they know, their journey wouldn't be so easy. The sewers hadn't been seen for twenty years by the Solhara City Police...and it had become the perfect place for underground gangs to form unnoticed...[/i]

chole: man it stinks down here

karu: yeah, but it is the only way we can go about unniticed, we have to get there in time

chole: yeah I guess, but theres one problem

karu: what is it?

chole: the sewers are almost like a maze, it will take us ages to find our way!

karu: oh, I guess I didn't think of that

[the 3 of them stood in silence, and then sephiroth began to move on forward]

chole: and where do you think your going?

karu: I....think he knows the way

chole: oh, I guess we had better follow him then

[it seemed like hours had passed, as sephiroth led them through left and right turns, when in fact it had been a mere hour]

chole: come on sephiroth, admit it, your lost!

seph: ......just follow me

chole: thats what we've been doing for the last hour

seph: ......not long to go now

[just as soon as sephiroth said that, a number of dark figures appeared in front of them, 5 of them, in fact, they wore black clothes, and their faces were concealed by strange masks]

thief1: well well, didn't think anyone would come down here

thief2: want us to kill em now boss?

thief1: might as well, we can't let them escape now can we?

to be continued....

Thief 1: Heh eh ehh...let's rip 'em a new one!

Thief 2: Yea!

Sephiroth: Take one step closer and you'll wish you were never born...

[i]The five theives looked at one another and the first theif laughed. His cackle echoed along the walls of the sewer.[/i]

Thief 1: Hahahah! HAH! Just who do you think you are?! You think you're scaring anyone with that stupid false confidence?! Hahaha...look at me! I'm a big, stupid Falyore! Hahahhah!!

[i]The other four theives began laughing out loud, while Sephiroth calmly stood still, his eyes narrowed.[/i]

Sephiroth: This is your last warning. Turn around immediately and don't look back, or I might change my mind...

Thief 2: Bahahahahah!!!! What are you gonna do, buddy? Get your stupid Quart friend to throw a twig at us! BAHAHAHAH!!!

[i]Sephiroth lunged forward at the speed of light and grabbed the second thief by the throat. He lifted the thief up above his head and looked into his eyes with a piercing stare.[/i]

Sephiroth: You don't even know what true fear is...want me to show you?

Theif 2: Uhh...no sir...please sir...please let me live...

[i]The front of the theif's pants suddenly became a little darker; Karu muffled a giggle.

Sephiroth suddenly threw the thief forwards, sending him at least a good ten metres backward. The thief's body thumped hard against the metal flooring of the sewer. The first thief, despite this display, moved closer to Sephiroth, eyeing him suspiciously.[/i]

Thief 1: I've seen you somewheres before...

Sephiroth: Maybe you have. But if you don't leave here right now, the only time you'll ever see me again is in your nightmares...

[i]The thief pondered this for a moment and thought the better of himself; he backed away and motioned for the other thieves to follow. They ran away and turned the corner, their footsteps echoing against the harsh metal pipes of the sewer. Sephiroth looked ahead of them...[/i]

Sephiroth: Let's go...

[SIZE=1][i]Ken, Cloud, Durumir and Treble walked through the square, but Rasanak stayed at one stall to look at some guns. Rasanak turned round, but the others were gone.[/i]

Rasanak: Oh crap... where are they?

[i]Rasanak panicked and ran frantically through crowd, calling their names, people not taking any notice of him as he pushed everyone out of the way.

Soon the crowd died down and Rasanak thought he had gone a little too far. He ended up pacing slowly through a narrow street, it got dimmer as more buildings towered up on each side.

Suddenly he saw a gang of theives just climb out of a sewer. They were looking quite scared, but then they spied Rasanak, and they walked over to him.[/i]

Theif1: Heheh... second weirdo we seen today, eh guys?

Other theives: Hahahaha...

Rasanak: What was the first?

Theif2: It was some stupid Falyore with a big sword... just some freak probably...

Rasanak: [i]That sounds like Sephiroth![/i] You looked pretty scared when you climbed out the sewer...

Theif1: Grrr! You punk, don't insult us!

[i]Some of the theives started swinging their chains round, others took out some flick-knives.[/i]

Rasanak: Hahaha! Toothpicks!!

All theives: Grr!

[i]Rasanak unsheathed his own weapon, his great Mecha Sword and he spun it around and got quickly into a fighting pose.[/i]

Theif3: Not as big as that other freak's sword!

Rasanak: The size doesn't matter, you rat... I am not going to hurt you, just let me pass and I might not.

Theif1: What do you think boys shal we let him pass?

Other theives: Nah!!

Rasanak: Please don't make me hurt you....

Theif2: Shutup you freak!

[i]Theif2 ran towards Rasanak and lunged with his chain......[/i][/SIZE]

[COLOR=indigo]OOC: Theoden is with us too if Durumir is. Where is SS Trunks anyway?
+++++++++++

[i]As Thief2 lunged at Rasanak, he readied himself. Thief2 seemed to stop in mid air while he was jumping at Rasanak, with an arrow producing from between his eyes.[/i]

Thief1: Grrrr... you'll pay for this!

[i]The group of thiefs ran away asRasank readied his Mecha Sword again and looked around, he looked beside him and a few familer figures came out of the shadows. He noticed it was Cloud and co. He put his sword back into the scarrab.[/i]

Treble: We've been looking for you. Where'd ya go to anyway?

Rasanak: You guys left me at a stall, i turned around and you were gone...

Ken: We had to get going, the fair was about to end and all the prices were down

Durumir: We best be going, the International Spacecraft Show starts in a few hours. But it is backed up to the main squares in Solhara.... I wonder... is there anyway o beat the crowd?

Rasanak: The sewer system would work...?

Treble: We can't chance it..... we have little ones...

[COLOR=indigo]OOC: I Was thinking more of we forget about durumir and theoden, because SS Trunks has been on and he hasn't posted in a while. Or we can kep them as extra characters.

Group1: Rasanak, AJ, Ken, Theoden (and me change my post)
Group2: Cloud, Treble (possibly) Durumir

or

Group1: Cloud, Ken, Treble
Group2: Rasanak, AJ (Rasanak escorts AJ back to Physar because he thinks it would be safer there, but we end up somehow meeting up again)

or

Group1: Cloud, Ken, Treble, Rasanak, AJ (go back to Physar like they were orignally going too and Rasanak joins tham, and they tempt to bring AJ back)
Group2: Durumir, Theoden(go back to Meteron Caves)

I would perfer the third one, what do you guys think?

[size=1]Sure, the third option sounds fine. That way, Theodeon and Durumir can be "ignored" until SS Trunks comes back to move their story forward. If he doesn't, we can virtually drop them from the story...and perhaps just use them as cameo characters here and there.[/size]

Harper: Try it.

Sabir: YAHAA!!

[i]She whirled in, sabre drawn....Harper dodged her blade frantically, then threw up a dark shield. Sabirsing glared at him, then created her own energy field....and shoved hers against his..........the power crackled around them, and the wind blew violently.....[/i]

[the 3 of them continued on after that little thief confrotnation, when suddenly another figure jumped out of the darkness, their face cloaked from their hood, he grabbed karu from behind and held a knife to his throat]

thief: don't move, just give me all your money and I'll let the kid go

[chole turned around in surprise, he did not even notice that anything had happened, sephiroth however, just stopped, but did not turn around]

thief: hey, falyore, can't you hear me?

[sephiroth turned around, and both he and the thief's eyes locked on to each other, a look of surprise appeared on the thief's face]

thief: no......you can't be....hey, take off your hood

[for the first time in the entire journey, sephiroth took off his hood, his long white hair flowed freely, and both bangs of white hair appeared in front of his forehead]

seph: .....its been a while.....jasmine

[the thief took her knife away from karu's throat and took a step back]

jasmine: but I....we all thought....you were dead

seph: ....well, you could say I was

jasmine: .....I'm.....sorry for everything

[she then ran off into the distance, karu and chole stood there with a look of confusion on their faces, sephiroth just put his hood on and began to walk]

seph: come now, we are almost there....

[i]Karu, Chole and Sephiroth continued walking in silence, broken only by the sound of their footsteps echoing along the pipes.

Sephiroth didn't put his hood back on the entire time, much to Chole and Karu's surprise. Chole knew better than to question Sephiroth, but Karu was a child...he still had that slight sense of invincibility that all children have...[/i]

Karu: Sephiroth, why did you never take your hood off?

Sephiroth: Sometimes it's best not to reveal your identity so easily...

Karu: Why?

Sephiroth: Because there are many in this world who think they have a score to settle with me. When you become famous for turning men into little boys at the sight of you...there are significant rewards for people who wish to destroy you...

Karu: Oh...I see. If that's the case, then why are you coming with us on this journey? Aren't you worried about being discovered?

Sephiroth: I've had enough of hiding. Let them discover me...so what...their fates will be no different. I, just like you, want to find out about the monster population increasing...people think I have no plan or agenda, but that's because they talk with their sword and not their mouth...

Karu: What do you mean?

Sephiroth: Sometimes, young Karu, people don't want to listen. They want to fight...that's all they desire. I only fight when I need to. That is why I do not talk much...those who listen are the ones who have a better chance of knowing the enemy...

Karu: Oh...

Chole: Hey guys, look...up ahead...

[i]Chole pointed at a ladder leading up into the darkness. It was the manhole cover they were looking for; the number on the wall was the same as the number Chole had on a map of the city.[/i]

Chole: This should be it...let's go!

[i]Karu went first, then Chole and Sephiroth followed.

As Karu pushed the manhole cover open (with some difficulty), the three emerged upon a storage room. They were surrounded by boxes and crates.[/i]

Chole: Oh phew...I was hoping we wouldn't emerge in the middle of a busy area. Now, let's find that space ship...

[i]He walked over to the wall and pressed his hand against a pad near the door. A small monitor on the wall began to glow and it displayed a map of the complex. The SC-3000 display was only a few metres to the south of them. All they had to do was pretend to be a part of the crowd...and jump into the ship when nobody was looking.

Chole just hoped it'd be that easy...[/i]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]The three try to walk normally and blend in with the people...but they were hardly normal...[/i]

Chole: *head down* I wonder if we're ever going to meet up with the others...

Karu: Treble, Cloud, Ken and all of 'em?

Sephiroth: Once we get our ticket outta here, we can go look for them.

[i]Chole, Karu and Sephiroth walked closer to the spacecraft. It's sleek, white exterior looked incredibly alien to Karu, who had never in his life seen a space ship.

It was a relatively small vessel, and the pod-flaps at the top were open...revealing exactly three seats inside.

Chole and Sephiroth stood infront of Karu, as he hopped into the third seat and crouched down out of sight.

Sephiroth decided to create a diversion. He took a ninja star from his pocket and threw it toward a security guard. The star hit him in the shoulder and he howled out in pain. The commotion caused a huge crowd to form around the security guard, which allowed Sephiroth and Chole to jump into the ship.

They closed the pod-flaps and Chole engaged the engines. Just as he did this, they could hear gunfire coming from outside -- the guards were trying to stop them taking off.

Chole fumbled around at the controls and pressed a button which said "Shields". A female computerized voice then said flatly "Shields Engaged at 100%". The bullets did no good; they merely ricocheted off the hull of the ship.

Chole then pushed the thrust lever and the ship began to hover in mid air above its stand. It slowly rose high into the air and with a very light tap of the accelerator, the ship blasted off over the crowd.

For around ten minutes, nothing went wrong. And then suddenly, an alert sounded "Stolen Ship Detected...overriding controls"

Chole looked at the others. The ship had taken control of itself, the only problem was, it didn't appear to have a great deal of fuel.

All of a sudden, the ship turned itself around and went in the opposite direction, blasting off at full speed.

The force of the acceleration was so strong, that Karu fell out of his seat. Luckily, Sephiroth reached out and caught him by his shirt before he could hit his head against the wall of the rear compartment.

Chole looked out below them; but he didn't see any castle...rather, he saw a dense jungle setting. It looked like the ship was heading southwest -- the opposite direction to the castle.

Before too long, the ship's engines began to falter. Red warning lights were flashing all over the ship's console and the occupants could feel the hull moving lower...

CRRRAAASSHH!

The ship plunged into the thick foliage at the edge of the jungle.

Chole got up and rubbed his head.[/i]

Chole: Is everyone alright?

Sephiroth: Yeah, I'm fine...

Karu: Yep, it's okay back here.

[i]Chole pushed the damaged Pod-Flaps open. As he climbed out, he saw that they had landed on the edge of a forest. To the south of them (and only a few metres away) was an expansive beach with golden sand and blue water.

It was Squeaky Beach. Chole had been here once before. To the west of the beach was a small town called Squeaky Cove. It was a popular tourist destination. The three could relax there and work out what to do next.

Chole stepped out onto the white sand: he could hear the perfectly round grains of sand squeak under his shoes, thus the title "Squeaky Beach".

He was soon joined by Sephiroth and Karu....[/i]

[the 3 of them continued to walk through squeaky beach, an hour had passed before any one of them spoke]

karu: how much longer until we get there?

chole: hmm, about 2 hours I think

karu: I wouldn't complain if it wasn't so hot, and this squeaky sand is starting to get on my nerves

[they both looked at sephiroth as they all walked, a look of discomfort quite apparent on his face]

karu: whats wrong sephiroth?

seph: .......its the sand

chole: huh, what about it?

seph: I have rather sensitive ears as a falyore, and the squeakyness of our feet walking on the sand is quite discomforting, pay me no attention, I'll be fine

[another 2 hours had passed, and finally they stood in front of squeaky cove]

chole: finally, were here, now lets find a place to get some rest....
