Chapter 24 - Eclipse

Oooooh! Next two chapters will be interesting! Check it out (btw, translations in fine print):

Will stepped out into the bright sunlight and stretched.

Hmmmm! Lovely day out! Don't you think so?

She turned around and looked at everyone else standing in the shade of the trees. Noel danced out into the sunshine, but nobody else followed.

Hey, don't look at me, I have an excuse!
And I have an mild allergy.
You do?
Yeah. Leave me alone.
Are you a vampire?
Not that I know of.

The sky darkened a bit and everyone got an eerie chill up their spines. Noel stopped dancing and looked at the sky. So did Will.

OOH! Awesome!
What? Cloud formation?
Dragons?
Hmm?
Uh... guys?
It's a solar eclipse!
GUYS...!

Everyone except Bloodfang and Alaphonse ran out of the trees, but Tidus stopped just short of 2 meters out. Will was on her hands and knees, shaking violently.

WILL!
Oh no. Not again.

Alaphonse rushed over to Will, and put his hands on her shoulders. Kyozo Hesitantly took a step toward them.

Will?! Are you alright? What's wrong?
Uh... hey Alaphonse?
...can't...
Can't? Can't what?
Alaphonse?
...understand....you...saying....
Will? What's going on!

Alaphonse feels a shaky hand on his shoulder and looks up to see Tidus, looking like he just saw a ghost. He pointed toward Will. Kyozo is behind them quite a few paces, with Noel behind him staring intently at Will.

Tidus, what are you-
H-her aura...
Hey Al! You should probably back up a bit!
Why should I d-

Alaphonse's sentence is cut off as he is lifted by his neck into the air and thrown by some invisible force. Tidus is flung sideways by another force. Will stares at Kyozo and Noel with two curious and bloodthirsty eyes. Noel shrugs.

Told ya so.

Kyozo feels a large stream of air whip past him, and hears something hit Noel with a hard THWACK! He slowly turns his head, to see Noel standing , but has her hand out like she caught a punch. She yawned.

Not that dangerous when the person you're attacking can see your Phantom Arms eh?
W-what?
TSH! Ti lae plythu lae wux tera, kosj ir."Not as weak as you look, small one."
I get that a lot. Al! Get off your lazy-

Noel flew backwards, hit the ground and rolled. She slowly stood up, clutching her solar plexus.

Noel!
Iwatoslea teka, kaldaka."Silence your tongue, wolf."

Kyozo got pushed to the side as Will stalked past him. Meanwhile, Bloodfang was helping Alaphonse to his feet.

You okay?
Yes, except for the goose egg on the back of my head.
Quit complaining and get your girlfriend back.
She's not my - NOEL MOVE!

Noel jumped to the side, just as the ground exploded where she was standing a moment ago.

Damnit!
You sound like Shadow. Anyway, seeing Noel's centimeter-sized aura next to Will's humongous one, one, your sis don't stand a chance.
How do you know Shadow? Oh wait! I just thought of something.
Oh em gee, it's a miracle.
Shut up. Cut your hand.
Why the hell would I want to do-
Just do it! Trust me.
Fiiiine.

Bloodfang cut the back of her hand just as Kyozo gets flung over her head. Alaphonse takes her hand and kisses the cut. Will sees him.

0///0 WHAT THE? WHY THE?! Don't you have a girlf-
Wux tiathar! Itrewic niraka de batabot silajir!"You bastard! Get away from that half-blood!"
HEY! Where'd you get off calling me a half-blood! Al, would you let go of my ha-

Alaphonse disappears, and reappears, hammering Will in the solar plexus with his knee, sending her rolling backwards a few meters.

Will, thric ner."Will, shut up."
Nathirk ve, soiejir!"make me, bloodsucker!"
Hey! That's offensive to some people!

While Will is busy, round-house kicking Al's head, Bloodfang turns around to Kyozo, who is bleeding from multiple cuts and his mouth.

You okay?
Yeah. your eyes look odd though. And, what the heck is my sister saying?
Eh. Never mind my eyes. Anyway, Will and Alaphonse are speaking in Dragon.
Where on earth did they pick up that language?
Why are you asking me?

Will has Berserk Alaphonse pinned to the ground with her foot.

Majak svern sjerit?"Give up yet?"
Ergriff sjek wux chiili."Only if you do."

Bloodfang helps Kyozo stand up, and then gets a very tired, and somewhat frightened look in her eyes.

Are you okay? It is Will or Noel?
Never mind. N-no, niether of them. Just...
You really are quite a pain.

Kyozo walks Bloodfang over to the safety of the trees and sets her down.

Thank you. I think Alaphonse needs help though...
You sure you feel okay?- Bloodfang glares at him playfully - I'll go now.

Kyozo dashes over to help Alaphonse, who makes a strained attempt at speaking English.

In, the, path!
You mean in the way, and I came to help idiot!

Bloodfang stares at the aura of her left hand, flashing from blue, to red, to black, and back to blue. Damnit!She thinks to herself, I KNEW the eclipse was going to start effecting me as well!

So? Let your power loose. I think Will could use a hard smack in the face right about now.
Did you just...?

Noel winked and walked off toward the fight. Bloodfang shivered with hidden power. Better late than never, Fang. Bloodfang stood up. SHUT UP! You can't control me! Noel looked back at Bloodfang just as she tossed a meter-long beam of energy into Will's face.

A bit split personality-ish?
You could say that, yeah.

Oh well. Bloodfang called up whatever the thing was that was talking to her, and charged at Will.
