Converging worlds

[waty]

(( Ok, i was wandering if a crossover of two final fantasy worlds could work. I spent a while figuring out how it could work, and came up with this. Im going to be the 'survivor'. Enjoy!))

Squal was ran along the slippery metal grate walkway, unnatural lightning arcing across the sky and rain pelting down from the sky, as if determined to drown the world. The island facility behind him was ommiting a low humming, the large pylons begining to glow in an eiree way. The ragnarok, the ship that had been adopted by the SeeD mercanary organisation was preparing to take of, it's ramp still down as the last few members of the team sent to this damned research facility strugled up the steps. The last was beconing squal to hury up, before hurying aboard.
Squal reached the ramp and turned, taking a last glance at the facility. He reflected briefly at how quikly this routine mission had escalated into a crisis. The he sprinted up the ramp as it began to close. When he reached the bridge he practicly jumped into the co-pilot seat, fumbling with his seat belt.
"What the hells going on!? All im getting is pandemonium on the radio, and some sensor readings that can'" squal cut him off.
"Shut up ang get us out of here, that place is powering up!". He didnt even know what it did but it couldent be good. The galbadians had been all over them as soon as they dropped in. Seeds objective had been to stop them activating the place. They had failed, and taken large casualties to boot
The pilot hastliy began to ease the ship into the air. The secod it was up, the ragnaros went full speed away. But wasn't enough. The energy the facility had been gathering exploded, rippng the facility apart, and sending out a shockwave that enveloped the escaping ship. On the bridge, everything went white.

The Stun affect seemed only to last a second. When his senese came back, the pilots panicy voice reached him
"......and both engines are not responding. We have no power, and were falling fast!"
Squal looked out the window, the sky was clear, apart from the smoke belching from the varios fires along the ships hull, plates of metal breaking of. He looked down and saw to his horror, they werent at sea anymore.
"Where are we, thats land down thier!"

The pilot wasn't listening, he was desporately truying to keep the ship in the air. 5 minutes later, the ship smashed into the macalnia woods, grinding to a halt, its passengers all dead.....all but one.

All over spira, everysingle device for trackin sphere energy went nuts.

[Kenokoru]

[glow=red,2,300]Kenokorus telepacy came to a mental hault. A screech peirced her mind and she bent to one knee. She traveled through Macalania on an appointment for her Uncle. Innocent people have lost their lives and Kenokoru saw it all. She felt the peoples emotions and saw their death as plain as day. Once she was able to stand she started walking where she had invisioned the crash. She held two hands to her head as if to keep the thoughts to herself. So no other would have to see and feel such a pain. The closer she got, the more used to the pain she got. But something changed. Another body lay in the heap she came upon but it still had a heart beat. Kenokoru closed her eyes as if to home in onto it. She walked to a mess of heated gears and moved a few to the side, knowing their would be some unwanted burns their afterwards. She then saw a hand fall out of the rubble and she began to dig faster. The heartbeat stayed steady, but was weak. She fianlly pulled the survivor out and picked him up. Her incresed strength helped in situations like these. She brought him a good distance away and set him down. Keno fell to her knees once more but before falling into a painfull unconciousness she slipped a potion down his throat. The pain was soon overwhelming her and she fell to the ground into a dark deep sleep.[/glow]

The inside of the ship was a grisly scene. The Bodies of those who had not been harnessed in at the time of the crashwere strewn about, while others were still fastened into thier chairs. A tree branch had impaled the pilot, and another was protuding out of the back of squalls chair. It was unocupied, he had ran down to the engine room to see if he could help them get the engines to fire.
Outside his eyes slowly opened. He coughed a few times, then tried to strugle up. A blinding pain from his side told him he had broken at least one rib. One by one his senses came to him, as he loked up at the trees above him. The pilot had been aiming for an area of open ground, a plain of some sort but they obviosly hadn't made it.
He could smell burning, and he realised he had been dragged clear. Glandcing round he saw his rescuer, and forced himself to his feet. He felt the temporary strenghth that potions generally gave running through his viens. His varios wounds still hurt, but they didn't botheer him as much as they would. He knelt beside her, and gently taking hold of her shoulders, attempted to wake her up.

[Kenokoru]

[glow=red,2,300]Kenokoru woke mere minutes later. Her wine red eyes fluttered open and she sat up, inpolitely bumping head with this survivor. She blinked once more, but kept emotionless. Her soft voice filld the air. "Are you alright, dear?" She leaned on her arm then noticed him grasping his side. She quickly bent forward and closed her eyes and touched his side, sending telepathic waves through him. She opened her eyes and spoke, leaning back up. "Ones broken, ones just sprained." She reffered to his ribs and looked up to him. Red eyes shot beams through his own. Kenokoru stared at him for a few moments before quietly and collectively asking what happened. "Take you're time." She lifted a petite hand to his forehead, feeling his temp. I'm going soft. She mentally told herself. He was warm, but it was just the effect of the fire. Not a sickness. A cold gust of wind blew by, flicking Kenokorus hair around in small whisps. The pain shooting through her skull let up upon her wake, but still the thoughts lingered.No pain let alone emotion graced her porcelin face. She then, waited still for his reply.[/glow]

[waty]

Squall mstood thier as she placed a hand on his forehead. He looked t her properly for the first time. Mage he thought, no-body with those eyes could be anything else. He was coming back to his senses, and realised that he, Squall Leonheart, commander of the Balamb garden seeD mercenaries, was stood next to a wrecked ship, and did not know where he was. He was also acutely aware of the entire nation his organisation had been pissing off and, more importantly, the rather large area of land they controlled.
He glanced around. This forest was definately like none he'd ever seen. He heard her question.
"Sorry, i cant tell you much. All four engines failed, and we just fell.The pilot......."he stopped. Until this point, he had assumed that his men (and women) were all alive and well, but the fact he and this woman were the only ones here suggested otherwise. But he could have much nastier problems if they were in galbadian territory.He reached for his gunblade absent mindedly, and found it was gone, lost just like his team. That rankled, he had that gunblade since he first became a seeD.
"Where are we?"

[Kenokoru]

[glow=red,2,300]Kenokoru looked to him and spoke, one toned. "Macalania Wood." She quickly read the outlines of his mind, not going near the crashvor what had just happened. "And by the way..I'm no mage, love." She lifted his chin, moved it right to left loking for wounds. "Just a messanger." She spoke quietly, almost whispering, before noticing a large wound on his leg. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing the two daggers stuck into each wrist. She ripped them both out, and started cutting at the bloody fabric. She then messaged him telepathically. 'This wont do your wounds any good.' She contnued cutting away before sending another message. 'Whats your name." More of a cold demand then a question, she looked breifly to him before back to what she was doing. Finally finishing she threw the extra fabric to the side and shoved the knives back into herself. Her silver blood fell to the ground, before healing over within seconds. Scarbs formed and the shine of the blood sealed over. Kenokoru looked to what sky she could see between the icy trees, noteing it would be dark soon. "When you're feeling up to it, we need to walk to the Inn." Her voice took no mood and she looked around.Ice covered the trees and stallagmites and stalagtites came from everywhere.[/glow]

[waty]

Squall jumped, hed never encountered a tellepath. He calmed himself, he'd seen worse. He hadent a clue where macalania was, but he had studied galbadia, and it wasent thier. He calmed slightly, and ordered his thoughts.
"I'd rather talk like this if it's all the same. We can go straight away, but i need to do something." And with that he turned and made for the dead ship. The ramp had fallen down, the cockpit had pounded through tree and into ground. The scene inside was a horrific one, bodies were strewn everwhere.
A while later he came out, carying his gunblade over his shoulder, and a small disk in the other. He stowed the disk into his pocket.
"Lead the way, and thanks.....Id be dead if it werent for you. My names Squall Leonheart by the way."

[Kenokoru]

[glow=red,2,300]Kenokoru went wild at the blood. She felt another urge to kill and almost did when the man came back out of the reck. She restrained herself when he spoke. She studied him and what he carried for a moment pass and then spoke herself. "My name is Kenokoru." Her voice drifted and came 'round again. "Do not thank me. I do what I want, not what is right." She stood and looked at him in the eyes. "Sometimes they just happen to cross paths." She turned silently and started walking. She read him once more, noting he had no idea where Macalania was. After a few minutes of walking in a slight uncomfortable silence she informed him this. "Macalania Wood is in Spira.If you do not know more then that than you are truely lost." Her heartbeat slowed and fell to her feet. "If so, do not worry. You're not alone." 1o minutes passed quickly by, but before they arrived at the Inn a fiend attacked. It was a flying bat, weilding only one eye. Kenokoru knew it was a simple beast but the man Squall could no take being confused. It could cause permanent damage. She gave in and went up to the feind, dodging anything it cast at her with a sly sidestep. When she reached it she pulled two hidden Katana from her back and sliced it wings off. They dissappeared with a glow and it lay their, decapetated. She left it to die, walking away. She felt no pity.[/glow]

[waty]

Squall inclined hie head to one side, frowning somewhat. She seemed to think a few wounds made him an invalid. Sure he was still slightly stunned, and had pain flowing in from all over his body, but he was still able.
"Neat trick, but you dont have to babysit me. I am a seeD mercenary after all"

[Kenokoru]

[glow=red,2,300]Kenokoru stood shot him a cold galnce. "Pardon me." She looked forward once more as they aproached the Inn. She gestured with a hand to the Inn and spoke monotonely. "You'll be fine." She turned to walk away. "You're a 'valid seed mercenary'." She walked calmly to the side of the Inn, leaning against its wall. Crystalized dust flew about in small whirls upon her impact. Deep black hair fell over a pale shoulder at her angle. A group of Mercahnts walked by Kenokoru and stopped. They looked at her then back to a paper in their grasp. Within seconds they aproached her, stateing she was to be immedietly take under arrest. They also made it quite clear they were to get paid and that they'd take her dead or alive. Kenokoru only stared. Getting impatient, one man grabbed her by the left shoulder, only to have his hand burned. The cross tattoos that covered her arm glowed a slight reddish color before returning to black. The man jusmped back as his counterpart picked her up. She again, did nothing. The large angel wing imprints on her back did the talking. Soon the man had large smoldering blisters on his hand arms and chest. She dropped to her feet and made the daggers on her wrists quite noticable. They backed up, muttered to eachother, and then bolt away. Kenokoru leaned against the wall once more as if nothing had happened.[/glow]

[waty]

Squall saw them practicaly tripping over themselves to escape. He snatched the paper from one of them as they ran. Making for a seat, he muttered as he past her.
"Nice way with people you have."
He took a seat and read, every page increasing his feeling something was very, very wrong. It was all about places he'd never heard of, things he'd never known existed. He began to wrak his brains about what the facility had been for. From what they could tell when they moved in, it had been built to harness massive amounts of energy for some kind of burst. Then something in his mind clicked.
"SHIT!" was all he said.

[Kenokoru]

[glow=red,2,300]Kenokoru stepped out of character and cocked an eyebrow. "What." More of a demand, she stepped off of the wall, standing upright.Her red eyes glazed over as she read the mans mind. "We are in a collection of islands and a mainland called Spira." She focused deeper only to be blocked, abruptly. "I know only that you have no knowledge of this place or any of its people."She paused. "There's little chance you will return home." She said the last part quietly but keeping her face pin straight, focusing in his eyes.Kenokoru quickly realized how much commotion she had just made when her 'visitors' aproached her. "Fuck." She hissed under her breath. Perhaps after that brawl of sorts, the Inn owner would regect her plee to spend the night there. She aproached the door but leaned against the rim, glancing to Squall occasionally. She pondered on what it was she would explain to the owner and how she could get a room. Strength would not be enough, she must persuade him. Not simple but deffenitly not complex. She turned and walked to Squall. "You gonna be okay?" She said cooly.[/glow]

[waty]

Squall barely heard her words, this was worse than the crash. He was in shock. Then years of training began to think for him. He had been lost in time compression, compared to that this was nothing. He couldent believe how weak he had become. He instantly hardened. He began to think. he had the flight data, as well as the names of all the Seed who had died on the disk. He had to investigate this world, thier had to be a way home and Rinoa. First things first though.
"Ill be fine, how about you? Those guys were practicaly falling over themselves. They had the look of people going for help. And in the future....stay out of my mind ok?"

[Kenokoru]

[glow=red,2,300]Kenokoru coldly glared at him. "I do what I please." She turned and walked into the Inn, feeling sympathy for the man and his losses. She did not turn to show any, though. She went to the Inns owner asking for two rooms. After a few minutes of persuading she got the two keys she had seeked. Kenokoru walked over to the west wall of the room and leaned against it, waiting for Squall to enter. She did feel sorry for him, but would not show it. No person deserves sympathy, for it only makes them weak. Glistening frost placed around the window shimmered in the evening light. Kenokorus hair fell around her tattooed shoulder as she stood and walked to it, looking out. The icey weather made a glint in her eye. Her inhanced vision enabled her to see through the frost. She watched the ice melt, the trees blow, and Squall standing in shock.[/glow]

[waty]

Squall folwed her in, and slumped into a chair, and absent midedly checked hus gunblades ammom chamber. Six bullets, and he doubted he'd be able to find any more that would fit. He flipped the chameber back in, and looked to her. She seemed to be ignoring him, staring almost transfixed out the window.

"What now?" he said, completely at a loss to what to do.
