Final Fantasy 7 - Yu-Gi-Oh style Chapter 11: A Very Painful Goodbye                   “You alright, Yugi?” Isis asked dusting herself off.            &nbs p;   “Yeah. Where are we?” the spiky haired teen asked, looking around and seeing nothing but run down buildings and sand everywhere as far as they could see.            &nbs p;   “Corel Prison,” Ryuuji said, sullenly not appreciating the fact that he’d been sent there just because he happened to be with them.            &nb sp;   “A prison in the desert?” To say Yugi was not pleased was the world’s biggest understatement.            ;     “What better place to put one?” the cat replied, “There’s quicksand on the outskirts here so there’s not getting out that way. But…”          &n bsp;     “Honda-san?!” Isis called as she noticed the brunet a little bit further away.            &nb sp;   “You don’t think he really?”                 “This ain’t you problem!” Honda shot back. “I gotta deal with this on my own so just butt out!” The pointy haired teen then ran off disappearing behind one of the buildings.           &nbs p;    “Don’t tell me that was one of your friends,” Ryuuji said as he let out a sigh of relief. “I wouldn’t want to meet him in a dark alley.”           & nbsp;    “Honda-san…” Isis murmured, feeling sorry for the one armed teen.            &nb sp;   Yugi was equally worried for their friend and followed him into a broken down house.            &n bsp;   “I thought I told you to *bleep* off!!” Honda shouted, brandishing his machine gun arm.            &nbs p;   “W-Whoa!! Chotto matte(Wait a sec)!!!” Both the cat and moogle held up their hands. “We just wanna talk pal! We’ll get outta here after you hear us out.”           &nb sp;    There was a slight rustling sound behind a sofa that had definitely seen better days. Honda whirled then let out a round of bullets in the vicinity. To everyone’s surprise, a man came stumbling out of his hiding place then keeled over, dead.            &nb sp;   “I-I didn’t want you to get involved in all this,” Honda said, ashamed his fellow AVALANCHE members got sent to prison as well.            &nb sp;   Suddenly Mai, XIII, and Mokuba came bursting in. Apparently they too had gotten sent to the desert prison.            & nbsp;   “Yugi’s supposed to say that!” the blonde said, hitting her friend on the head. ”You’ll get in the way… I don’t want you to get hurt… blah, blah, blah.”           &n bsp;    “We’re already involved, Honda-san,” Isis added.            &n bsp;   “We saw Yugi run in here, what’s going on Honda?” Mai asked            &nb sp;   “Guys…” The brunet was at a loss as to what to say.            &nbs p;   “They said whoeva did dat at da Battle Arena had a gun on ‘is arm,” XIII said eyeing Honda warily.            & nbsp;   “It wasn’t me,” Honda said slumping onto the sofa. “Four years ago when I got this thing, there was someone who had the same operation.”   Flashback       &nbs p;        Honda and Amelda were returning to North Corel from going on a trip only to learn that their hometown was being attacked.             ;    “Honda! Amelda!” yelled the village headman, running towards them as they made their way along the abandoned railroad. “Kaiba Corp.’s attacking the village!”            ;     “What the *bleep*’s going on old man?!” Honda asked, clearly p.o.’d           &n bsp;    “Whoa, take it easy, bud,” Amelda said trying to calm his irate friend down. “Let’s get to town and see what’s really going on.”           &nbs p;    Just then, a group of Kaiba’s soldiers came and shot the old man, effectively killing the defenseless villager. “Headman!” Honda shouted, getting more p.o.’d by the minute. “Honda!” Amelda called, pulling on his friend’s arm. “We’ve gotta get outta here!!” The brunet let out an anguished growl, knowing his red haired friend was right. They dodged the hail of bullets as they ran towards the village. “You idiots! You’ll never hit them with aim like that!” a brunet girl in a very slutty red dress said laughing as the two began returning fire of their own. “Urusai(Shut up) you ho!” Honda spat back. The girl, growled at the insult then knocked a random soldier upside the head. “Stop goofing off and cover me!” “Abunai(Look out!)” Amelda knocked his friend aside, the bullets causing the redhead to fall off the cliff they were up against. “’Melda!” the brunet cried as he ran and grabbed his friend’s arm, stopping him from going completely over. “Don’t ya dare die on me, pal! You’re comin’ back! The both of us are!” “You’ve got that right, buddy!” Amelda shot back. “They’re all waiting for us… your sister… Mikey… Rebbeca…”         &nbs p;      The two friends held on for as long as they could, but the constant hail of bullets and the strain put on their arms, eventually caused them to let go. “Tell Mikey, I’m sorry!!!” Amelda cried as he fell to his death. End Flashback            &nbs p;     “After that day, my right arm was totally busted. I couldn’t use it anymore. I got a new one, but it was like nothin’ mattered anymore I was so bummed. When I snapped outta it, I decided to get revenge on Kaiba for taking everything away from me. I lost not only my best bud in that attack, but my sister and brother-in-law and ‘Melda lost his little bro Mikey. The only thing I had left was my niece Rebecca.                 “I got this here gun grafted on my arm so I could teach those *bleep*s not to mess with me anymore. When I signed up for the operation, I heard one of the doc’s sayin’ another guy was gettin’ the same thing as me only it was on his left arm.”           &nb sp;    Yugi said nothing, too stunned by what his taller friend had told him.            &nbs p;   “So didn’t you say that Amelda’s arm got damaged too?” Isis asked.            &n bsp;   “If that’s so,” Mai added, “Then we should go find the guy. He probably was revenge against Kaiba too.”           &nb sp;    “Don’t get your hopes up Mai,” Honda said turning away, “I’ve gotta apologize to the guy first so I can go with a clean conscience. That’s why I didn’t want ya guys followin’ me.”           &nbs p;    “Nothing doing, Honda!” Yugi yelled. “I’m not about to let you get yourself killed on me!”           &nbs p;    “Yugi’s right!” piped up Isis. “It’s not like it’s the end of the world here.”           &n bsp;    “Didn’t you say something about saving the planet?” Mai scolded.                 “C’mon Mai, you oughta know me by now!”           &nb sp;    “We’re in the same boat here, hon.”           &nb sp;    “We all know what your going through, Honda-san, we’ve all been deceived by Kaiba Corp.” Isis said, placing a hand on his shoulder.             ;    “You’re stuck with us, Honda,” Yugi said. “We’re gonna stick with you no matter what.”           &n bsp;    Seeing that the other AVALANCHE members weren’t going to back down, the brunet reluctantly allowed Yugi and Mai to follow him around the prison camp in search of a certain redheaded friend.            & nbsp;   They found him by a cliff at the northern edges of the camp staring off into space.            &n bsp;   “’Melda is that you?” Honda asked, wary of approaching him.            &nbs p;   “Never thought I’d hear your disgusting voice down here, you *bleep*!” the redhead spat.            &nb sp;   “I knew you were still alive pal… I’d hope to see you again… so you did get the same operation as me.”           &nbs p;    Amelda’s eyes narrowed in sheer hate and disgust then opened fire at him, making the brunet and the others dodge the bullets. Suddenly he stopped, cocking his head as if listening to something. “What’s that? I can hear him…”          &n bsp;     Honda remained silent, but stood his ground, not willing to turn tail again not after all these years.            &n bsp;   “I hear his voice… Mikey’s voice… telling me not to hate your *bleep*in’ guts. That’s why I never came after you.”           &nb sp;    “I know you won’t forgive me ‘Melda,” Honda said, hanging his head in shame, “So I won’t ask. I don’t deserve it. But what in *bleep* are you doing here?! Why’d you go and kill those staffers for? They were involved with what happened back then? Why do it?”           &nbs p;    “Why the *bleep* would you care?!! Are those that got killed four years ago going to understand why?! Are the people back home going to understand by listening to THAT *BLEEP*’S lies? I DON’T wanna know why! All Kaiba gave us was soldiers and lies!!! There’s only despair and nothingness left!!!!!             ;    “You still wanna know ‘why’?! I’ll tell you why! I wanna get rid of them all that’swhy! They all deserve to die! There’s nothing left for me in this oh-so-wonderful world of yours! I lost everything! My house… my town… Mikey! You should know how I feel you lost just as much as I did! Your sister… cute li’l Rebecca…”         &nbs p;      “She’s alive, Amelda,” Honda said, shocking his former best friend out of his tirade.            & nbsp;   “After you fell, I snuck back into town. I found Rebecca hidin’ so the soldiers couldn’t get at her. I looked for Mikey too. I-I’m so sorry,” He was desperately fighting back tears. “I couldn’t find him ‘Melda. I looked everywhere.          &n bsp;     “I-If you wanna see her, Rebecca’s in Domino. She’s stayin’ with a friend where she’s safe. Let’s go see her together. But she’d love to see her uncle ‘Melda.”                 “Hmph. So Rebecca’s still alive,” the redhead said, a slightly crazed look on his face. “Guess that means you ‘n’ I’ve gotta fight.”           & nbsp;    “NANDA YO(What did you say)?!!!”            ;     “Mikey’s all by himself. I’ve gotta go send Rebecca to him!”           &nb sp;    “You’re off your rocker Amelda!”                 “Rebecca wants to see Mikey doesn’t she?!” Before anyone could say anything Amelda shot at his friend.            & nbsp;   “Calm down ‘Melda! You can’t kill me yet!”           &nb sp;    “Too bad, old friend. It was me who got killed that day! When I lost Mikey!” the redhead let off another round of bullets at the brunet.            & nbsp;   “’Melda! I don’t wanna do this!”           &n bsp;    “Honda!” Yugi yelled rushing over to his friend only to have the brunet knock him aside.            &n bsp;   “STAY THE *BLEEP* OUTTA THIS, YUGI! This is my problem.                 What happened next was like something out of an old western Yugi used to watch on TV when he was a kid. Both gunmen stood silent for several moments, each sizing the other up, waiting for an opening then, suddenly both started firing an enormous hail of bullets, equally determined to beat the other.            &n bsp;   Eventually Amelda tired and took a hit to the shoulder. He stumbled back toward the cliff. Seeing what his former friend was planning on doing, Honda started forward, desperate to stop him.            &nbs p;   “Stay back!!” the redhead warned. “I didn’t just… lose my arm… back then…” he panted, “I lost something… irreplaceable… Where did it all go wrong?”           & nbsp;    “I wish I could tell ya man,” Honda said, pitying his former friend, “This can’t be the only way to fix things between us ‘Melda.”                 The redhead gave a faint smile and let out a bitter chuckle. “Didn’t you hear me? I wanna destroy… everything… especially ME!”           &nbs p;    “And what about Mikey?!” Honda shot back, praying that would snap him out of it. “What would your little brother think if you go and off yourself like the do-aho(total dumb @$$) that you are!”           &nb sp;    Amelda was silent for a moment. “Honda,” he began, “Wake up! Just how old was Mikey back then? And even if we did find him, I’d doubt he’d even recognize me now. What’s the point?! My hands have way too much blood on them. I can’t be allowed to hold my little brother anymore.” He reached into his tattered vest and brought out what looked a very battered action figure. He tossed it to the brunet who caught it easily. “Hiroto... Give that back to Mikey if you ever see him… Tell him I’m sorry I couldn’t be there to protect him… Tell him his idiot brother loves him.”           &nb sp;    The brunet was openly crying now, tears flowing unhindered from his brown eyes. “I-I will,” he choked out.            &nbs p;   “So Rebecca's... four now...” the redhead gave another sad smile inching even closer to the cliff now “Don’t you dare… make her cry… or I’ll… make ya pay.”           &nb sp;    “Amelda! Don’t do it! It ain’t worth it!!!”           &n bsp;    But his words fell on deaf ears. And as if the ground had suddenly turned to fly paper or his legs had suddenly turned into lead, Honda couldn’t make himself move as he watched his once best friend wave then serenely step off the cliff’s edge, only this time, he would never get up again.            &n bsp;   “Ame… lda!!!!!” Honda cried, rushing over to the cliff. Yugi and Mai held him back, lest he follow his friend to his doom as well. “‘Melda,” he said, wiping the tears from his eyes, “You aho(dumb @$$)!!!!!” he yelled, slamming his fist on the ground, “My hands ain’t any cleaner!!! I’ve got no right to be holding Rebecca either!!!” The brunet then let out a heartbreaking howl.            &nb sp;   Seeing he wanted to be alone, Yugi forced Mai to follow him back toward the camp. “Let’s see if the others found a way out of here,” he whispered to her. The blonde looked back at the sobbing brunet, unsure if she should leave him. “He’ll be ok. Just leave him so time to grieve, Mai.” She nodded and reluctantly followed him.     ~TBC~     Sakura: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
