Chapter 17: Farplane sphere part 3
Somewhere during the last sphere and this one, Chappu had introduced himself and told his story of happened. He had survived the destruction of the Farplane, barley getting in the vicinity of Shuyin’s power after the ground collapsed under him, but ended up knocked unconscious in the combination of the blast in the fall. When he woke up at the gate of the destroyed Farplane he was behind the mirror fighting off a copy of himself. It took him about 20 minutes to beat it, the hard way after it had copied and improvised all his moves. Needless to say, he wasn’t in good shape afterwords.
“We’ve got a bigger problem then that.” Jecht pointed the recorder down at the ground, the formerly soft earthquakes were getting worse. Basically the whole process was a chain reaction. Starting from inside what used to be the Farplane where the mirror was created, the mirrored world was breaking apart. They succeed in breaking through the mirror...but did they really want to?
“What are we supposed to do about it?” Shuyin was forced to shout over the large rumbling.
“There is nothing we can do except wait and move.” Braska said disappointedly.
“And were do we go? The Farplane?”
“Bad idea, there are a whole bunch of fiends there....what‘s left of it anyway.” Chappu told them.
“Fiends?” Auron found that questionable.
“Yeah, there everywhere in there.”
“If the Farplane was destroyed, how can fiends still be there?” Auron asked.
“Let’s go find out, it’s better then sitting around here.” Jecht walking unhesitantly in to the gateway first, hosting his sword on to his shoulder.
Braska nodded, getting in step to follow when he remembered Chappu. Shuyin volunteered himself to helped, assisting Chappu to his feet, wrapping the boy’s arm around his shoulder. “ Hold on, if there are fiends you‘ll never make it like this.”
Braska pressed his hands against Chappu‘s bare chest, closing his eyes with light concentration as he cast a spell. An orb of white light appeared in his hands, pressing into Chappu’s chest. For a second a white aura surrounded Chappu‘s body, but quickly faded away.
Now feeling much better, Chappu lifted his arm from Shuyin’s shoulder, flexing it around. “Thanks ya, I feel much better.”
! - ! -!
Jecht looked around the remains of the Farplane, making sure to record all of it. A few hundred fiends had converged here as if standing on air, they seem to be on glass, a window in to a dark abyss under it. But the glass was cracked in most places, and continually fracturing, he could see more splits forming in some places, he could hear them as well.
“Hn.. All of this is an illusion, or mirror.” Jecht could tell just by looking, some of the Fiends were fading, and others had pieces that just seemed to fade away. “Ok, there not real, how dose that help us?” Nothing could really help them, because they didn’t know what was happening, or what they were even going to do.
“What do you think that is?” Shuyin asked, pointing to spot in the center where a small ray of white light shined through like the sunlight through clouds. “It’s strange isn‘t it…. How one tiny ray of light can make it through all of that darkness, let alone be seen from here.”
“It may be a way out.” Braska motioned, peering at over the sea of darkness and fiends to the light in question.
“It can’t be much worse then what’s under there ya.” Chappu said, looking at the darkness under the glass like structure.
“Think we should go for it? Look’s like it’s going fall through at any moment.” Jecht said worriedly, watching a section of the glass to his left shatter.
“Were just going to have hurry then.” Braska spoke this time with confident tone, some how he‘d convinced himself that they should go through with this. He was right, what other choice did they have? It wasn’t like they could go back.
Auron stepped on to the first glass, Inoringo seemingly unafraid followed. Seeing it didn‘t immediately fall through, they were followed in precession by Chappu and Shuyin and lastly Braska and Jecht. All of them ran across, trying to avoid the fiends, or what was left of them at least. Despite his lack of speed, Auron was able to avoid all off the fiends and make it first.
“Damnit move!” Jecht shouted, as a large (and heavy) Adamantine stood in his way, he found it there best option was to go past it. Braska went around while Jecht, which it was currently paying attention too, jumped on the hard shell and ran down it’s back. He got away just in time when the weight of the Adamantine became to much for the already weak glass and the fiend fell through, it seemed that was the last bit the ground could take .The glass began to shatter in a slow cascading effect that went from the outward edges toward the center.
“That’s not good ya.” Chappu looked back and saw the ground breaking apart behind him, while in front of him an Omega weapon that didn’t seem to care.
“ Just keep going!” Shuyin dropped down and slid under it, while Chappu jumped up, landing agilely on it’s head and sliding down it’s back before it could catch him.
Just barley they caught up the others at the center just as the whole mirror beneath them gave way, letting through all of the light that had been concealed under the mirror‘s surface. Each of them was engulfed in the bright white light, so intense that it over rid the senses, they almost didn’t notice that they were falling.
After a few seconds the light dimmed and their eyes adjusted, allowing normal site again, still surrounded on all sides by the illumination. “Didn’t we fall down here before?” Jecht called out, looking down but able to see nothing but pure white, they were approaching another mirror.
And fell in to like water.
They found themselves suddenly on sold ground, mirrors breaking all around them in large shards, creating explosions when they shattered. “What the--” A nervous Jecht was cut off by Auron.
“It’s just in illusion, it’s not real.”
Chappu looked back nervously “This is really creepy ya? Are you sure it‘s not real?” A wave of fire was coming right at them.
“This must be what’s happening outside.” Braska realized, watching the approaching flames, that quickly swept over them. Auron was the only one who didn’t flinch, easily keeping his calm demeanor while watching the red haze through his glasses. When Braska thought about it, it made sense, it was just like how they were able to see over on to the other side through the lens of the sphere recorder. Now that the mirror was losing reflectiveness it was just like a lens.
“Is that another illusion?” Braska asked, watching as a few mirror fragments come together sloppily into a relatively square form, they didn’t even fit. The jagged formation flashed a quick image and smashed as a large beast broke through it. It was some thing that seemed to be a Chimera type monster, or something of that mixture.
It had the body of a Behemoth, with a forest of the green tentacles of a Marlboro twitching out of the side of it‘s torso. The wings of a Zu were attached to it’s back, all the head of a Behemoth, all together it turned out to be a large monstrosity.
“Yes.” Auron replied, raising his sword in a ready position.
“Did somebody tell him that?” Jecht slipped his hand under the read headband and rubbed his forehead in aggravation, clearly they were in for a fight.
“This isn’t good ya.” Chappu said, realizing that he was the only one with out a weapon.
Braska tossed him Yojimbo’s sword. “Think you can use that?”
Chappu was pretty handy with a sword, just not one this long and with this type of blade, he was used to things with a lot more weight to them. “I can learn ya.”
The fiend opened it’s sharp toothed mouth, spewing forth a green mist of bad breath, something they really couldn’t escape from. Braska quickly used an healing spell, curing any status that may have taken effect.
The large fiend flapped it’s wings, sending a rush of wind at the group that swept away the remaining mist and pushed them back. “This thing is already starting to piss me off!” Jecht shouted, raising his arm over his arm, fighting against the current towards the beast. He’d had time to take another over look of his surrounds “Hey, Isn’t somebody missing?” the Faythe was gone.
“Don’t worry--.” Shuyin tried to reassure him, before he could finish, a large flailing tentacle slammed in to him from the side, almost knocking him off balance.
“Thundaga!” Braska lifted the staff, sending a large bolt of lighting down on the Fiend, halting the next quick attack. Free from the repelling wind, Jecht charged at the creature, slashing at it with his sword. The Fiend moved to agilely the side, managing to evade with only a tentacle being hit.
Auron came from behind, strike the monster in it’s back between the wings. It howled in pain, flailing it’s wings wildly trying to push him back. In a very quick movement, the beast pivoted around, bucking Auron with it’s horns and driving him back. The fiend slammed it’s wings in to Jecht with a loud clam, knocking him back as well.
The Chimera stomped it’s hoofed feet on the ground, snorting loudly then charged at Braska like a bull. The summoner extended a hand, using a blind spell. A black shroud covered the Fiend’s eyes, allowing Braska to step out of the way with out it‘s knowledge. The rampaging beast was running for Chappu now.
He stepped to the side, extending the sword outward and letting the beast run head first to the blade. A loud howl came from the monster as it stumbled back, a large bleeding cut left across the side of it’s face, started to flail and buck wildly. Knocking away Chappu and some how dispelling the blind spell.
Able to see clearly again, the Chimera stuck the endless mass of Marlboro tentacles protruding from it’s side in the ground. The Fiend started to flap the large black wings again, sending another strong wall of wind that kept them away and preventing them from attacking. With one foot planted behind him, Braska lifted his hand and cast another Thundaga spell, the large lighting strike put a halt to burst of winds, letting Shuyin through.
He ran past it, striking the beast on his way through. Shuyin landed another blow on his way back, the beast reached out trying to strike him with the large clawed paws. Shu easily jumped to the side, attacking the beast as he did so. Finally jumping back and avoiding another large hand, returning to his previous position beside Braska.
“Wha-What?” The planted tentacles resurfaced from the ground, wrapping around Braska’s arms and legs. The long appendages stretched when the Beast charged at Braska, head tilted down, ready to strike with it’s horns. Auron jumped in front of the captured summoner, holding his sword down. Pulling the large blade up from the ground and sending it in to the Beast’s chest, lunching it in to the air. Giving Braska enough time pull his way free, With a small nod of gratitude the summoner cast a Flare spell on the protruding tentacles that had once bound him. Severing them with an explosion of energy.
The tentacles grew back with a spasm, a new and larger one’s erupted from the burnt buds. Braska moved out of the way from the rapidly growing appendages, becoming tree like structures. More of them came from the ground until the floor was covered in green tentacles, large ones and small.
“What the hell is this?” Jecht quickly found that if he didn’t move, he would sink. So he charged toward the creature, crouching to avoid two large arms that tried to grab him. Jecht thrust the sword in to the Chimaera’s stomach, pulling the blade up through it’s heart and out of it’s shoulder.
The Fiend howled a screeching like sound, almost falling over. But from the bloody wound, tentacles thrust out covered in blood, severing what was left of the arm, a few of them planting themselves in to the ground.
“You can’t be serous!” Jecht growled thrusting the sword down into the ground to slice through some of the tentacles that has latched on to his ankles. At lest now the Chimera couldn’t move.
The large bulk of tentacles that replaced the arm lashed over them, the attack was halted by Chappu, who lifted the blade and sliced off at lest half of the appendages. The rest were burned off by another Flare spell from Braska.
The Zu wings started to flap again, striking them with another wall of wind. But it was easily driven back by a highly motivated Shuyin with one thrust of both swords he now wielded, turning the current back on to the Fiend. He had Tidus's sword, why not use it? Two were better then one right?
Auron and Jecht followed up, Jecht going around behind and Auron attacking from the front. With a swing of the two blades, they sliced through the Fiend‘s back and left leg, only unleashing more tentacles.
“Anybody else find this pointless?” Chappu grunted, hacking away at the forest of tentacles constantly reaching at him from the ground, the chimera didn‘t even have a body anymore, it was just a sea of those green appendages.
Shuyin calmly grabbed on to Chappu’s waist and pulled him backwards. “Wha--?”
A beam of light came from where Chappu had been standing, a loud roar coming from below. “This is it!” Shuyin called out anticipantly “Move back!” Followed by a Mega Flare that rose from beneath the tentacles, engulfing the center and spreading out with a flash of sparking electricity. Some how, the blast didn’t hit them, thanks to Shuyin‘s warning.
When the smoke cleared, they found themselves falling again toward the source of the light, Bahamut above them and obviously the creator of the attack. The light grew brighter as they fell deeper, until they couldn’t see any longer.
