Sollux Captor Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 "Zidane, wait..." Dagger had gotten a hold of the belts on the older's vest, as she was pulling him out of sight before they could get caught. Vivi stopped for a moment, feeling like he had heard something, before he was suddenly pushed, causing him to walk all over again, his small frame trembling a bit.

Shadow Fire Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 "Geez!" the blond hissed. "Hey!" Narrowing his eyes at Dagger ever so slightly, Zidane gave a soft sigh. "Okay..." he muttered, calming down. "What is it?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 "Did you see the large barrel next to the shed? I've seen the exact same patten on some of the barrels at the castle. This place must have some kind of connection with Alexandria Castle. I must know what it is! So please... I beg of you, don't cause any trouble just yet." Dagger pleaded with the older male. She knew he wanted to rescue Vivi, but this was important to her, since she had no idea that her own kingdom was trying to start a war, even when they passed the Melda Arch, and the war banner for her kingdom was hung in sight.

Shadow Fire Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Glancing off in the direction where the people had taken Vivi, the tailed boy nodded. "Alright..." he agreed. "But I will start trouble if Vivi is in danger... Agreed?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Dagger agreed as they soon headed inside once again, passing by a Chocobo, which is what Vivi said he heard before all of this started. Vivi was sitting inside of a box, shivering a bit, not sure what he did to be put in here. He lifted his head soon, as he heard Zidane's voice exclaim something, as he stood up, pressing his hands against the box. "Zidane!" He called out to him.

Shadow Fire Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 "Vivi?" the blond murmured, glancing around, before suddenly noticing the sobs he heard was coming from a box. "It IS you! I'll get you out!" Glowing for a moment, he used his daggers to break open the box. Helping the mage up, Zidane stared at him. "Hey..." he said, giving his warm smile. "It's okay now... but... why would they stuff you in a box?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Vivi was shaking a little, as he pressed against the other's hug, using the excuse that he was scared to be close to him. "After you left, some men kidnapped me and brought me here. They told me to stay put. I was so scared... I didn't know what to do. They asked me 'Why were you outside?' and then they said, 'The cargo ship isn't even here yet.' I didn't know what they were talking about, so I didn't say anything, and then they said, 'Let's put it in today's shipment.'" "And they put you in that box?" "...Yeah."

Shadow Fire Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 The older male seemed surprised at Vivi's actions, but said nothing to discourage him. Instead, he comforted him. "Well, I'm glad you're safe..." he said, before offering words of advice. "Listen, Vivi. You gotta do something next time. You should try - screaming back or whatever."

Shadow Fire Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 The blond grinned, giving a nod. "Yeah..." he chuckled. "Like... 'Get off me, you scumbag!' Like that! It surprises your attacker and empowers you!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Vivi jumped a little as he was given the example of what to do. 'Scumbag?' Dagger repeated in confusion. "Huh... I think I get it." The little mage mused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Although he had given his warm smile at Vivi's understanding, his face went serious again. "I need to ask you a favor, Vivi..." he murmured. "We want to check out what's ahead. I know you might not be thrilled with the idea, but..."

Sollux Captor Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 "Zidane... I want to know more too... like what that thing is..." Vivi pointed towards the machine that seemed to be spewing Mist from it, strange white-pink eggs appearing out of them, and disappearing down the belt.

Shadow Fire Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Zidane grabbed Vivi's and Dagger's hands, before racing forward, suddenly screeching to a stop. "A chocobo and...gysahl green?" he pondered aloud, looking at the bird happily running on its wheel, trying to get the gysahl green. "The chocobo is powering the conveyor belt... Why don't they just use a machine to do it...?" Letting go of the others' hands, he moved towards the conveyor belt and attempted to look through to where it went. "I can almost see inside..." he murmured. "...but I can't see anything. I just hear noise. Are the eggs... hatching?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Vivi headed into the next room, only to find himself gasping in shock. "Ahhh! W-What is this?!" Hearing him cry out, Dagger and Zidane headed into the room, finding something horrifying... The machine was... creating black mages... they were taller, wore black and purple... Vivi was scared... these things were being created here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Zidane gasped up at the black mages, which were being sent across the assembly line. "They're..." he choked out. "Some parts are different, but..." He suddenly glanced inconspicuously over at Vivi. ...they look like Vivi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Fire Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Noticing that Vivi looked absolutely crushed, Zidane was about to comfort him, when he suddenly heard a noise. "Someone's coming!" he hissed under his breath. "Vivi! Dagger!" The tailed boy once again grabbed a hold of Vivi and Dagger's hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 "Z-Zidane?" Vivi gasped as he pulled them out of sight inside one of the machines as he buried into the corner as Zidane covered Dagger's mouth to get her to stop shouting. The mage heard people talking, but it was faded out, as he was curled up, shaking a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 As the voices faded away, Zidane turned to Vivi and slung an arm around him comfortingly. Giving a smile, it faded suddenly as a strange cylindrical object dropped down at him. "Whu?" he gasped. "Whoa!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 "Zidane!" Dagger gasped as he had been caught in one of the boxes that were meant for the black mages, as it was soon followed by Vivi, and even Dagger had gotten caught inside of them. Vivi felt he was going to be claustraphobic by the time this whole event was over. "Z... Zidane..." He whimpered, his hands pressed against the sealed top of the box.

Shadow Fire Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Zidane felt himself being moved, and sometime later, he could hear the sounds of someone mumbling. That does it. I'm getting out of here one way or another. Unbeknownst to Zidane, it was Steiner's voice he heard. The knight had noticed the barrels. "I've seen this pattern somewhere before..." he murmured, gasping as it began to move. "Ah! It's moving!" Moving closer to inspect it, he heard a muffled voice. "Alright!" Zidane exclaimed from inside. "Give it another push!" Shrieking in amazement, Steiner jumped back, just as Zidane managed to burst out of the barrel, before helping Vivi and Dagger out from within their prisons.

Sollux Captor Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Vivi crawled out of the box he had been placed in, but unfortunatly, he wasn't talking. "Steiner, that's enough!" Dagger finally exclaimed once the knight's shouting was becoming too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 "Yes, your highness..." the knight said apologetically. "Please excuse my behaviour." Zidane noticed Vivi's silence, and approached the mage, resting a hand on his shoulder. "Vivi... " he said softly. "I don't know exactly what's going on, but... I will stay by your side, okay?"

Sollux Captor Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 "..." Vivi looked up at him, before giving a small nod, but he was still a bit shaky. Dagger looked over at Steiner. "Steiner, do you know where this ship is heading?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
