The last frontier (open)

[Deleted]

Ravian stood at the gate to the zero district. Looking at it nervously, he tended to avoid going in. In fact for several years he hadnt known it existed. Of course as soon as had found out about it he had entered it as fast as he could. Though it had taken a bit of searching to find the gate. But at the time he hadn't had time to properly explore it. Instead opting for a quick peek before running off.

He had always wondered what was within their confines, secrets? Maybe some sort of treasure, why didn't anyone go there and why did no one know anything about it? Was it new or something, it made no sense what so ever. Why did no one dare to go there? Were the heartless that bad? Would he have a chance of dying?

All of these questions and more went through Ravian's head in mere seconds. He was admittedly a bit to excited for just exploring a new district...well....not new...just new to him and half of the town. The other half seemed content with ignorance and mystery, but he felt like destroying both and finnally uncovering the zero district.

He finnally took a step forward, about to walk through when someone walked right by him as if he had opened the door for them. He stood still for a second stunned by the sudden appearance of....someone. "Um....hey there"

[jimmydalad]

Rina saw him, or at least, she thought she did. While perching on one of Traverse Town's many roofs, she saw a boy with exactly the same skin color standing at a gate she never saw or noticed before. It was very rare to come by with someone with the same skin color as hers especially in Traverse Town. She needed to go on anything and he looked like a possible candidate.

As he opened the gate, she quickly ran past him, going inside the gate and rapidly turning to him. She immediately noticed his al bhed eyes. It was impossible not to recognize the characteristic spirals.

"You're Ravian, aren't you?" She said to him, finding it hard to contain the excitement building up inside her.

[Deleted]

Well. She was small and young. That was for sure but she also looked faintly familiar. Though he couldn't really place it. But he quickly spotted her eye, it had an al behd spiral in it. He hadn't met any other al behd people despite how long he had lived here. "You're Ravian, aren't you?" Wait, she knew his name? His face betrayed how confused her statement had made him. How did she know him?

He took a step back. Taking another look at her. She looked....excited. As if seeing him was a big deal or something. He didn't understand why, it wasn't as if he was famous or anything. Just slightly heard of, maybe.....if you were a shop owner. So why did a small girl know who he was? "yeah....that's my name...why do you know me? he said. But then he remembered why he was here. The zero district and that he was going to have to meet up with Alias. He held up his hand to stop whatever she was about to say "Can this wait, I'm going to be leaving soon and I need to take a look around in there." he said politely as possible.

He was interested by the girl but he really wanted to finish his exploration of the city. It was the only thing left in this city for him and finishing it meant he wouldn't need to come back, ever. He liked the thought of not returning to this city where so many bad things had happened and where almost everyone he met had lost their world days or even minutes before he met them. There didn't seem to be a downside, why should he stay in a place where there was nothing to do and no one to meet. Or so he thought.

Akuma jumped down from a building and landed behind Ravian. They stood back to back with Rina on Ravian's side. He decided to track Ravian to tell him that he shouldn't leave but it seemed that that didn't matter now. She already found him. It might be a touchy moment but that really didn't matter.

Akuma smirked and said '' Let her speak man. Let her speak then you can do what you want. I don't normally say this but please hear her out.'' He wasn't the please type but this was serious. ''Oh yeah, sorry about last time.''

[jimmydalad]

"yeah....that's my name...why do you know me? Ravian said to Rina. Rina felt a mix of happiness and sadness. She did it, she finally found him. All the searching and she finally found him. However, his response saddened her. He couldn't remember her. He couldn't remember his long lost sister. She was about to say something when Ravian put his hand up.

"Can this wait, I'm going to be leaving soon and I need to take a look around in there." He said to her. Her sadness was replaced with fury as she noticed Akuma suddenly coming in and standing behind Ravian, his back to him.

'' Let her speak man. Let her speak then you can do what you want. I don't normally say this but please hear her out.''

"Yeah you idiot! I have been looking for you for ages and this is what you give me! You blow me off as if I'm nothing!' Rina shouted, her fury was present, as well as a tinge of sadness.

"I'm your sister oui eteud! Rina! Rina Mystya! I've been looking for you for ages and this is what I get! I...I.." She shouted, but she progressively got sadder until she broke down into tears, unable to talk. She was so sad that he couldn't remember her. The tears continued to pour and she wondered if he even cared.

[zetsu]

(Can the posting order be Ravian~Jimmy~Akuma)

[jimmydalad]

(Sure, if you want. I don't mind.)

[zetsu]

Zetsu wanted to try to cheer her up but didn't. It just wasn't his thing. Instead the swordsman did what he does best. And that's cutting. Opening his case as fast as he could and took out one blade.

Zetsu took a stance. The best way to describe it...like a summo wrestler's stance. Where their left leg is on their left and their right is on their right. Just that he put the sword begind him. His left hand held the scabbard and his right hand was on the handle(I forgot what you call it ).

Ittoryuu: Iai. Zetsu whispered. He looked at Rvian in such a way that he would know what he was thinking. Depending on Ravian's next move, he will act. The swordsman doesn't care whether Ravian gets hurt or not.

[Deleted]

Akuma was here....great. The guy that ruined his first moments back in traverse town. Not an easy feat given how psyched he had been to be hack but Akuma had managed it. Just by being a jerk. But more imiprtantnright now was this....girl. He knew he had seen her before...a long time ago. A very long time ago. How did akuma know her? Had they met earlier and why did he want to let her speak?

"yeah you idiot" she got mad fast, and more interestingly, she had been looking for him? Why? He even took a step back once she said that out of surprise, of course the fact that she was an angry young girl with guns didn't help.

But he still heard her. Her impossible words, saying that she was his sister. His sister, he never had found out what happened to her. He had guessed that she had been killed along with their parents or at least sent to an orphanage and adopted. Preferably the latter. But she had been on the streets this whole time?! 

He stepped forward and hugged her tightly, he couldn't stop himself not after so long thinking she was out of his life forever, after being alone for so long he finally had some remnants of a family. "I-it's really you? I.....I thought"  he stopped hugging her but kept his hands on her shoulders. He held back tears, though he was on the verge of crying himself, out of happiness of course. "So where have you been sis?"

[jimmydalad]

When she felt the embrace of Ravian around her, she was so glad she went through all the shit she'd been through. It was all worth it, the days she spent looking for him, the challenges she faced. All of it, just for this moment. Rina hugged him back as she buried her head into his chest, happy to see that he finally recognized her.

"Ravian.. E's cu rybbo du caa oui ykyeh... E'ja seccat oui cu silr... Pnudran" Rina said to him in fluent Al Bhed, knowing that he'll understand. He should be able to understand it. He's part Al Bhed, she was sure he knew it.

Hugging him tightly, she looked at Akuma and gave him a wide smile. He was a strange guy, that Akuma. But he helped her find Ravian, and she was in his debt. But maybe he forgot that.

[zetsu]

''Tch! I was so looking forward to a fight'' He said disappointed. Rina gave him a wide smile which he didn't know what it meant and barely cared. Looking around, he didn't really know th place. ''Oi rubber man'' referring to Ravian ''Where is this place?''

[Deleted]

She was still around looking for him after all this time? Best. Sister. Ever. No contest, after years of him thinking she was dead or had been adopted or was otherwise unfindable, she had found him. He couldn't help but smile as she buried her head into his chest. He was absolutely ecstatic that she still wanted to know him after he hadn't recognized her, which seemed impossible now. He couldn't figure out how he hadn't recognized her immediately.

He ruffled her hair happily as she hugged him. He had thought he was alone, but now he had her back. Though he wasn't sure if he wanted to go into the zero district now and risk her safety for an adventure. She was a priceless artifact, important, great, life changing and most of all priceless. He would do anything to make sure she stuck around and didn't have to fend for herself anymore.

But he quickly realized something, he had near to no idea what she was saying, he recognized brother. Which he had been called many, many times by her, along with certain other names, when they were younger. "Sis" he said trying to conceal his confusion "you've grown so much" he stated as he looked at her, while certainly still a child she was taller than last time he saw her.

He then looked at Akuma and back to Rina who was giving him a big smile, maybe he wasn't all bad. "This place is called the zero district, and my name is Ravian"

[jimmydalad]

All of this was so unreal, so perfect. Being here, with Ravian, after all this time was well worth it. Though some would just give up easily, Rina was never one to do so. And in the end, it did pay off and she finally found her brother. Though she didn't remember much of him, she was still happy she found him.

"E ryja knufh y mud, ryjah'd E pnudran?" Rina said excitedly to Ravian, smiling widely and giving him a friendly punch. He had to know Al Bhed, right? Then again, it was their mum who was the Al Bhed in the family. Her father, from what she could remember, never really did pick up the language.

"Ravian? Have you forgotten Al Bhed? and what is the Zero District? She asked him sweetly, hoping to get an answer from him. If he did forget Al Bhed, she was going to berate him badly. How dare he forget Al Bhed! And also, she was curious about this district. What did Ravian find?

[Deleted]

((well zetsu hasn't been on in forever so))

He smiled brightly, he really had thought he would never see Rina again, though he was sad that she was simply on the streets. When thinking of her alive somewhere he always imagined her with some rich adoptive family living a good life. But if she was just on the street....well that made him feel....as if he should have been....there.

He put one hand on her shoulder. Not really knowing what she said this time. He caught the word brother and smiled. He was going to like her being back. Though he was going to try and escape that question about forgetting al behd.....even if it was just for now. He didn't want her to start nagging him about the language and his lack of being able to speak it.

"I'm not really sure what the zero district is yet....I'm gonna explore it now" he said, slightly embarrassed "it's.....just a hidden district" he really was wondering if he should take her....for all he knew this was just as bad as the third district. Though he didn't know much about her. Maybe she could handle herself...and he bet he could keep her safe "you want to come explore with me?" he said happily.

((last time I checked zetsu hadn't been on in a month.....and he wasn't that involved in this thread plot wise....so...yeah))

He laughed a bit...

[jimmydalad]

((I think we should continue without Zetsu))

When Ravian's hand touched Rina's shoulder, the young Al Bhed girl shivered a little. It had been forever since someone had done that and it felt foreign, strange. But it also felt really good.

However, she also noticed how he didn't speak in Al Bhed. And also the fact that he didn't seem to register the words in Al Bhed she was saying. Could he have-? Nah. There was no way. Could Ravian have really forgotten Al Bhed?

As Ravian's words came out, the girl looked at him with pure happiness. Was this for real? Them, exploring together. Rina had always wanted to spend time with him. Her long lost brother.

"Yes! Of course I want to Ravian!" She exclaimed happily, hugging him again and burying her face in his stomach. She missed him and she looked for him. She never gave up and it payed off in the end.

Withdrawing herself from the hug, she then walked a bit backwards and withdrew her guns.

"Element Shift: Fire" She said as the guns responded to her commands. "You can't be too careful around here. Can we." She said to Ravian, smiling as she did.

"Ravian? Ryja oui vunkuddah Al Bhed?" She then asked him, curious to see his answer.
