The Angel Awakens... [Garnet/Vivi]

[Zidane Tribal]

Wake up...

Wha... who're you...? Where am I!?

In a world between worlds...

What? What do you mean?! Where's Baku? Blank?! MARCUS!!

They cannot hear you. Your paths are broken. Your world is no more...

WHAT?! No! Garnet! Vivi! What did you do to them?!

It was not I. Your world was weak.

Ngh... I feel weak...

Do not fear... you will not die. You'll be safe.

But... G-Garnet... Why... why, just when everything was... ok...

Sleep. Awaken when you are rested.

Garnet...

The sound of silence was a damning sound to his ears. He hated it. He loved the hustle-bustle of Lindblum, how it caused a constant roar of music, combined with voices, machinery, and laughter. Zidane Tribal could never properly sleep in the dead quiet.

Yet, here he was, lying facedown in the middle of a cobblestone street, just waking up. The silence was eerie... he couldn't remember a time when things were this silent... except one time... but he couldn't put his finger on when that was. Slowly regaining himself, he stood slowly, and looked around, his eyes focusing, finally, on his surroundings.

"...I have a feeling I'm not on Gaia anymore..." he muttered. He looked around more, this times towards the street rather than the buildings, and gritted his teeth. Garnet... Vivi...

"Please be ok..."

He started walking down the road, slowly, taking in the silence. Why? Why was it so quiet here? He couldn't believe it, no, this had to be a ghost town. Burmecia wasn't even this quiet... He heard a metallic clang, and spun around to see a tin can roll out into view about ten feet from where he was laying.

"Show yourself!" he shouted into the night, summoning his Mage Mashers and gritting his teeth again. He was alone. Stranded in a place that is Gaia knows where. What could he do?

A meow echoed out of the alley as a cat walked out in a lazy gait.

Zidane stared at the cat.

The cat stared at Zidane.

Zidane then burst out laughing, dropping his arms to his sides and shaking his head, causing the cat to freak out and dash in the other direction. He wiped his eyes with a gloved hand, letting his much needed laughing fit end, and sighed, looking up to the stars.

"The others had to land here... they had to... I'll find you guys!" he said, banishing his daggers and running down the road, calling out the names of his friends.
