GoGo sighed.
Cyan obviously was a good shot. GoGo was unconsious for two days from the
punch Cyan had given him.
By the time GoGo was out of the infirmary, he had learned that Cyan had
moved the entire force to the Doman shores.
He sighed. Perhaps it was destiny.
During the time he was in the infirmary, and the days that followed, he had
been thinking of his past actions. HIs foul mouth., the fact he was in the
Zone Eater for 600 years...
He wondered why he suddenly considered all this as unacceptable. It was
almost as if something was trying to break free in his mind.
ARound the palace, the air had changed. Everyone was anxious with
anticipation. No news had come back from the front and ever soldier's wife,
girlfriend, younger brother and whore wondered if they're specific man was
being raped by the moogles. No one new if the army had been defeated or
victorious. It had been a tedious time.
GoGo sighed. Something told him that he needed to go to the market. He
hadn't the foggiest why, but he went.
* * * * * * * *
The market was barren. Merchants weren't as obsessed with peddling their
wares, since there weren't any soldiers stationed in the town. THe magitek
factory was already starting to fall apart, since there were enough
stockpiles of magitek armour in waiting that the manager had shut it down,
and it had no real Janitorial staff since there were rumours of what Kefka
did to most of the people to go inside there.
GoGo spotted an elderly woman sitting on a bench in an alley, crying. Slowly
he approached her.
"What is the matter, miss?"
She looked up, her normally dry skin moistened by her tears.
"A couple of thugs stole my necklace... it had the only picture I have of my
husband. It's all I have left of him."
GoGo blinked. A small fire kindled inside him.
"Which way did they go."
THe elderly woman pointed further down the alley. GoGo was off like a shot.
He rushed foreward, oddly enough not swearing. Everyone in the palace had
noticed his change, even he. Finally, he caught sight of two scrawny younge
ruffians examining a silver locket.
"Aw fuck, it's worthless. This won't even buy us a fucking toke."
"Well shit, einstein, maybe we should be robbing people who should be in
fucking pallative care places."
"You talk awfully big for someone who's so small." cut in GoGo. They both
turned to him.
"Oh, I know you." sneered the first youth. "You're that weird fuck who
swears all the time."
GoGo chuckled.
"Not anymore, children. Now if you would hand me that necklace you have
there, the lass you stole it from would dearly like it back."
"Blow me." spat the second youth.
"Suit yourself." said GoGo as he strolled forward. He stepped up to the two
youths, standing adamant, and with the slightest hint of grace, snatched
the locket out of their hands. He then turned and began to walk away.
"Hey!" yelled the first youth, pulling out a knife. "Asshole, give that
back."
GoGo continued to walk away.
The two youths looked at each other and nodded, then charged him. Right when
they were about to reach him, he turned around and uppercutted the closer
one, who went flying into the second youth.
"Fools..." he spat.
* * * * * * * *
GoGo sat back in his chamber, twirling a small orb he had purchased in the
market that day. The orb itself was an orb with a smokey texture that was a
putrid black. It was very strange and fascinating.
Slowly, his eyes focused on the center. Slowly, a face began to fill. A
thin, pale man, in his 50s, with spiked red hair.
Then, his lips parted and the two said in unison.
"I am..."
GoGo dropped the orb and it shattered.
He got up and faced the window.
At last he remembered. He never really realized his amnesia until this
point, but now he knew. He had been struck with Amnesia while visiting that
island, where he was then swallowed by the Zone Eater, and became known as
GoGo, ruler of the virtual world inside of there.
He left for a short time to defeat Kefka, and then returned to the virtual
world. There he stayed until he learned his destiny to stop this war and-
He stopped his train of thought. The war, he still had to stop the war.
He thought for a moment.
He then shook his head and turned to the door. The maid was just coming in.
"Oh, excuse me Sir GoGo."
"Ah, madam.." said GoGo, lowering down to kiss her palm through his robes.
"I must leave for Doma immediately. You may clean the chamber at your
leisure."
She blinked.
"Y... yes sir."
GoGo rose and strolled down the hall. The maid stared at him. His voice
sounded different. His entire aura was different.
* * * * * * * *
GoGo strolled into the armoury. The guard standing there looked positively
bored out of his wits.
"Ah, pardon me good sir, but are there any arms left?"
"The army basically picked it dry, but you're welcome to take a look." said
the Guard not even looking up. He pulled a lever and the door opened. GoGo
strolled in.
Like the guard had implied, the place was bare. GoGo examined the sword
rack. On it was a single sword. Plain looking, but GoGo's eyes picked out a
specific note on the sword; near the tip of the blade was a notch. The hilt
was covered in rotting sandpaper.
GoGo grasped the Katana and held it before him. Yes, this was it. This was
his sword; he could feel his presence in it. A few test swings with it
proved the fact, the blade itself was like an extension of his arm.
He grabbed the sheath that was beside it and ran the blade across his
finger. It seemed to savor the taste of blood, having not enjoyed it for
many years. Then, he sheathed the blade and strapped it to his side.
He left the armoury and headed for the harbour.
