Chapter 13:
Solar Adventure Part 1
Sheena focused on nothing but keeping Celsius out and talking to Zelos, her
motivator. It was very difficult to concentrate on anything else. Just anything.
It was hard to notice what she saw; everything was a total blur. Sheena knew she
had to keep the temperature down, though, when suddenly...
"Hey! Hey! What the hell, Sheena, by Martel, move!" yelled Zelos.
Sheena barely had enough time to react. She saw an image of a ninja star,
but, it had the symbol of...Mizuho...on it?!?! That was impossible. Nobody from
Mizuho could be up here. It did not make any sense. There was no sense able to
be made. Not a grain. Not a piece. Nothing.
"Why?" Sheena yelled, "Who did this!?! Argh! This is so... AGGGH!"
As she screamed the last part, a huge blue colour spread across the room.
Sheena had overloaded on stress, causing in a huge mana outburst. This sometimes
happened in when a person was in rage; the battle term's name for this, Over
Limit. Sheena had only experienced this twice, a time when Raine lost
consciousness and when Genis thought it wasn't just that. He thought she had
died. Naturally he lost control, and smashed Mithos with an Indignant Judgement.
A very powerful attack, it consisted of a aqua green dome smashing his enemy,
followed by a colossal sword that dealt tremendous damage. Now, Sheena had
wondered what this was; strange, these were summons, according to Raine, these
weren't considered as spells. They were considered in their own class,
summoning, obviously. So then these attacks were still considered as Over
Limitable, the term of spells and techniques being able to Over Limit? It was
all too much to absorb.
"Sheena..." Zelos said, astonished, "What was...?"
"I don't...know." the ninja replied coldly, "I...it...I...What the hell is
this!?!" Sheena began to cry.
Zelos embraced her, "Sheena, please, calm down. Let go of your focus. For a
minute. This room is very...okay...now." The swordsman was at a loss for words.
Sheena got out of focus and everything started to become viewable again. It
was truly amazing, what she had done. Ice was everywhere, frozen water
everywhere. It covered the walls, pillars of frost randomly joined together with
the floor and ceiling. Miniature glaciers were heaved against the floor in some
spots. The temperature was almost at an Sheena said nothing, resumed her focus
and went into the next room. In there, Zelos said to Sheena, "It's okay, just
stay calm."
"Okay." Sheena replied, as she tried to look at the room.
There wasn't really anything challenging, except taking your eyes off all the
treasure that lay in the room. Opals were set in an obvious priceless chair, and
sapphires were dotted everywhere in the room, sorted into a elegant pattern.
Columns of emeralds piled up next to each other in such a way they created two
sets of stairs, which Zelos walked up. From there, you could see everything was
tinted with a little gold; this whole room filled with riches unseen in any
world. Diamonds seemed to float of the chandelier from the glow they made.
Carbuncles were set into ruby-studded goblets, and many ancient coins were
splattered across the room. Then Sheena saw something even more beautiful than
the gems.
It was a gorgeous white dress, edged with gold, and had the slightest
engravements on it where garnets just seemed like they were supposed to fit. The
dress was a peerless beauty, and Sheena began to imagine herself in it. Zelos,
on the other hand, was also beginning to fantasize about if he brought all this
treasure back; the riches he would get. Sheena began to lose focus and the room
slowly began to heat up. The voice rang in Sheena's head, "Why don't you take
the dress...end it?" Sheena in surprise turned to the dress and sliced it into
sparkling pieces, breaking the spell over her. She then focused on keeping
Celsius' power intact; it was beginning to become at a scorching temperature.
Zelos also broke out of his trance throwing one of the shining goblets across
the room. The two now confirmed that these rooms probably focused more on mental
strength, not physical. They went into the next room, wondering what was in
store for them next.
This room contained nothing out of the ordinary, but there was a very
annoying ring. It was a very high pitched ring, at such an enormous pitch it was
barely audible. It was hard to even move, let alone concentrate. Sheena began to
stagger; Zelos the only thing supporting her. Sheena couldn't even cover her
ears, Zelos had to.
"I've got an idea!" Zelos yelled very loudly.
"What's that!?" Sheena screamed back.
"Make other noise! Do something to distract you!"
"Okay! Uh... LA LA LA A LA MORIE! DON'T BE A CAR IN FRANCE!"
" A GODESS IS NAMED MARTEL, DO YOU KNOW!" Zelos yelled.
After getting through the room after yelling ridiculous rants, Zelos asked,
"What's France?"
"It's some country where people speak like this" Sheena said, holding a finger
below her nose, "Je vais aller un film."
"Oh."
Anyway, in this room, there was a very suprising thing. An ANGEL. He was
quite massive, and had big wings. He held up seven swords, each a different
color and all held up by angelic power. Sheena would not be able to fight,
unless she could use the technique. But that was very unlikely. Zelos held up
his sword, ready to fight to the death.
