Fran stood up slowly, with Balthier’s help, her eyes dim and
her body shaky.
“Goddess on tainted wings those fly... (her eyes became
clear then) we have to go right?” She stood up then looking up at where once
held been the Ifrit, but all that remained were freckles of blue light
twinkling slowly down. Balthier just got the hover bike ready revving the
engine as he did so, and holding out his hand to Fran.
“Wait you stop!” Fran quickly turned to see half a dozen
guards run towards them from the far end of the wall; she quickly pushed
Balthier to the back revving the engine.
“Please, move.” She hit the accelerator then leaping off
wall and into the court yard past the panic strician
people, guards on persute shoot, suddenly they
circled the main fountain
in the centre, turning to the right down one of the main side
passages branching off around the palace, heading towards the entrance.
“Err...Fran, best get to the sewers.” Fran quickly looked
over her shoulder nodding slightly, and altered her course, heading towards the
palace servants hall.
Vaan opened his eyes, his head throbbing his back, his legs
felt damp, and fingers damp with water, the sound of it all around him,
“Were am I?” He suddenly noticed
smile ethereal whispers echoing around.
“The
sewers...your wish.” Vaan picked himself up from the floor shaking
off the water from himself, and noticed he was near to
his hunting grounds.
“Wow...did you do that, or (he looked at his hands) did I?”
shimmer of light.
“ She
Vaan just looked up at where she once was pondering the words, when the sound
of armour came from his left and shouting.
“Stop...halt!” He suddenly looked
up to find Fran and Balthier came running into view Vaan just chose to run
water splashing as he ran, the sound of running footsteps behind him. Suddenly
more footsteps and shouting came from up ahead.
“Quickly, stop her!” Vaan looked up to find a women standing
on the ledge she turned drawing her sword at them. Suddenly Vaan felt the air
shift beside him and looked to his right to see Gerun
beside him (though only he could see him).
“Our chosen approaches.”
Vaan just looked at him, his vision going dizzy for a second and looked
back towards the Dalmascan princess sword ready to
strike.
“I have to do
shouted up at her) Quick jump!” Ashe had no time to argue just nodded parrying
fall to the floor. He looked round to see Gerun had disappeared,
while Ashe lifted herself up from his lap brushing herself down, and
dodging the guards, yet Vaan noticed while doing so he caught Fran looking out
of the corner of her eye at him, a split second later letting one of her onion
arrows fly, and the harsh sound of it ripping through the thin layer of armour
covering the foot of a imperials ankle.
“Shit...all I am is the serving boy.” Vaan whined, hoping to
make a convincing act for the rest of the group, Balthier smirked and laughed.
“Are you now? I wonder what the staff would stay if they
knew what you had, hmm/” Ashe looked at Vaan for a second then, before turning
back to her opponent and landing the final striking blow., and
“Serving is just his cover.” Fran spoke up Balthier just
nodded at that moving out his palm towards Vaan whom just covered his back
pocket, noticing this Ashe stepped in between the two.
“We can save this for later, we have to get moving (turning
to Vaan noticing the slight orange glow in his pocket) so you stole something
that doesn’t belong to you.” Vaan sighed and looked the floor.
“It feeds people ok. Anyway let’s get moving” He made his
way to his right past Balthier and Fran.
It took a good long
while for the group to get to the main water way, within the sewers, Vaan’s
usual rat hunting grounds. When the gates opened a sudden ball of fire
approached them at great speeds.
“Prepare yourselves.” Fran said reading her bow, arrow
already pulled back. Balthier just looked at her, then at the great ball of
fire, as it turned into the form of a horse, and looked at Vaan, whom just draw
his sword dodging the beast as it lunged towards him, rolling out the way as it
stampeded past him.
“I’ll cast Water.” Ashe raised an arm a gentle light
surrounded her as the magicks gathered, the
and charged towards Ashe, Balthier taking shots at it frowning at his misses,
but seemed to do little damage.
“We could finish this
in an instant, being gods” Vann heard Ultima
whisper into his mind, and he smiled at that, it seemed that his new internal
roomy, was quite full of herself.
“That may be true, yet
neither you and I want to be exposed, due to your last
act, am right aren’t I?” From that he heard a disgruntled sigh from within
the whispering, and knowing he’d won, and smiled while dodging another stampede
from the horse, Balthier was getting irritated now.
“Stand aside, I’ll get this done.” He activated his
quickening ocean fury. Suddenly the surrounding area dissolved into a sea of
stars, runes and ancient patterns etched themselves upon the void, and image of
the world appeared underneath the firery horse along
with a compass, and letting out a high pitched whistle (fingers in the mouth
short of) water came cascading over the top of Balthier, not even drenching him
in the slightest, and toppled over his adversary, which let out a agonising
wane, and reared up, its body covered in a cloud of steam as it shrank its self
into a little fireball and flew off down the water ways.
Suddenly they was a sound of metal as imperials surrounded
them, and a familiar voice drifted around them, one of power and calm, Vayne.
“Halt, and stay your hand, you are surrounded.” Along with
the echo of footsteps Vayne came into view descending from the steps of
Well how did you like it people?
