Running around wild.(Jecht and Xion)

[jecht]

Jecht was traveling around Spira again this time he was himself. He was going around to see if he could find Auron or Braska. He thought if he was alive then maybe they would be as well. It was a long shot but he still wanted to see if they were alive. From his previous travels Jecht had gotten use to sleeping outside. He found it relaxing, but as he woke up from sleeping he noticed something was wrong. When he went to sleep he was near the moonflow in Spira. The pyrefly filled river was no longer in front of him instead there was a massive savannah. If this still was Spira it wasn’t anywhere he had been before.

As he stood up he noticed something else was wrong very very wrong. His his strong arms and bare chest were now covered with fur. Jecht quickly moved to see if this was just an illusion or a dream that’s when he noticed he no longer had hands he had paws. In a panic Jecht started to run to find something to reflect his image. Had he been turned into a fiend while he slept. Coming up to a pool of water he looked down to see that he wasn’t human or a fiend but a lion. He saw that he still had some of his more noticeable features like his tattoo and his scars. What is going on here? One moment I sleeping next to the moonflow the next im here.Turning away from the lake he looked around to take a better look at where he was.

What Jecht saw was a world filled with animals and no humans what so ever. Stepping away from the lake he started to walk towards a large rock formation that seemed to house a pride of lions. He noticed that most animals shied away from him was it because he was a lion or was it because of his looks. He really didn’t look like a normal lion. Not with his facial hair and his red bandana around his forehead. Along with his gauntlet on his arm and the large tattoo of the Zanarkand abs symbol right on his chest. His shoulders had the spike clusters just as he did in his final Aeon form. The tip of his tail was his sword. No matter how anyone or anything looked at Jecht he didn’t anything like a normal lion at all.

Jecht didn’t try to talk to any other animal he figured that being a lion he would only be able to talk to a lion. Not that any other animal would even get close to him because of the way he looked. He kept his distance from the other animals not knowing if they were like him. Humans that were turned into animals or they were just normal animals. “Dam how did this happen why am I here. This is just like when I first encountered sin.” Jecht roared out in anger wanting to get some answers to what was going on. He was fed up with the situation that was before him. Normally he liked seeing new places, but this was way too weird for him.

The Pride Lands..Xion wasn't sure she had ever been there. But a new world was always something to explore, and she had lots of time, since she wasn't running missions for the Organization any more. She wasn't sure what she would find there, and upon arriving, had found it was night. Uncertain of safety in the new world, she had found a place to sleep for the night. She would explore in the daylight, once morning came.

Upon waking up, she noticed something. She didn't have her Organization Cloak. Second thing she noticed was a tail..and that she felt warm..almost as if she was wearing a coat. She stood, and clumsily ran to a nearby pool of water, unused to the four legs she now found herself with. A lion cub? That's the face that stared back at her from the rippling depths. The same blue eyes, and fur the color of her hair on her head. The rest of her was as dark as the Organization Cloak she no longer wore.
"What in the world..?" How was she supposed to use her Keyblade, if she could get it at all in this form. She had never seen anything like it.. A roaring yell from over the hill caught her attention. Who could it be? Time to find out..and get working with her new four legs.

She padded up the hill, and stopped, looking at the veeery different looking lion. She wasn't sure who he was, or what was going on, but he seemed to have changed like she had. Perhaps he had an idea? She loped down the hill, toward the roaring lion.

Jecht’s roaring scared off most animals that were around him. So it was a shock to him to see a young black lion cub come close to him. He couldn’t tell if it was a girl or a boy, he wasn’t born a lion so he had no idea how to tell the young ones apart. Jecht stood his ground when the cub came near him, he placed his two front paws down in front of him and bared his fangs a bit. Jecht slowly eyed the cub there was something very off about it to him. Pure black fur and deep blue eyes along with that number on above her back left leg. There is no way this is a normal lion. Jecht continued to stare at the black lion cub wondering if it was like him if so then why did it look more normal than him he needed to find this out.

“Who are you and what do you want?” Jecht didn’t really trust the lion cub he didn’t really trust anything in this world at the current moment. Why would he had no reason to trust anyone in this world. Just a few moments after he asked his question he saw it. A strange looking creature creeping out from behind the lion cub it looked like a thin monkey with a mask holding a staff in its tail. Anyone who knew a thing about heartless would know that what Jecht was looking at was a heartless, a shaman heartless to be exact. It stood there dancing around for a few seconds before it launched forward to attack the lion cub in front of him.

Without a second thought Jecht jumped over the lion cub and slammed down his gauntlet covered arm on top of the heartless. The combined hit of the metal claws of the gauntlet and Jecht’s strength caused is strike to tear through the heartless with ease. The heartless vanished just like a fiend did except instead of pyreflies flying up it vanished into darkness and a small heart floated up from where it was and vanished. Jecht turned around to look at the lion cub to see if it was ok. “You ok?”

Xion had been caught by surprise. One minute she had been approaching the lion who could talk, hearing his questions, but before she could answer, he seemed to be coming straight at her. She ducked, and realized that he wasn't aiming for her. Turning, Xion was just in time to see him land on a Shaman Heartless, apparently one that was roaming the plains looking for Hearts to steal. A shame, since this place seemed so peaceful..at least for now.

She watched the lion dispatch the Heartless with ease, surprised. How had he done that? The Heart that was released was small, and vanished shortly after floating up from the vanquished Darkness of the Heartless. Her eyes watching the Heart, she was brought back to the presence of the other lion, as he turned his attention back to her. Could he be trusted? She had no way of knowing.

"I..I'm okay, thank you. I am Xion...I'm exploring new Worlds, looking for adventure and new companions."
Her mind turned to the earlier questions he asked, and was curious about him as well.
"Who are you? And how did you know how to destroy that Heartless? Where did you come from? How did you get here?" She knew it was a lot of questions, but she needed a lot of answers.

[jecht]

The little black lion could talk and what was more strange is that he could understand what she was saying. He finally got some answers, but he had hoped that she would have told him why he was a lion or where this place was. Instead she just made him more confused by talking about new worlds and looking for a companion.It looked like she wouldn’t be able to answer his questions. The worst part is now he had to find someone else to answer his questions. One thing he could ask her is why did she call the thing he killed a heartless and what was a heartless he had thought it was some kind of fiend that had been affected by this place as he was.

Jecht raised his head and stood proudly before Xion smiling at her and said “I’m the great Jecht. I come from the great city of Zanarkand where I am the star player of the Zanarkand abs blitzball team. Unfortunately I have no clue how I got here I just woke up here and thats that.” Even though she wouldn’t probably know what blitzball was that wouldn’t stop him from gloating about himself. “Hey uh Xion what in the world is a heartless ?” He would try to get some answers from her about the heartless he hoped that she would answer him or at least direct him to someone who could answer his questions.

Jecht walked passed Xion and continued on his way to Pride Rock. Turning his head around to look back at Xion he motioned with his head for her to follow him as he walked. He would listen to her as they continued to walk along to Pride Rock. Jecht didn’t want to stay in the same place for too long. He didn’t know what else this world would throw at him or what else would happen to him if he stayed on this world for long. Jecht hoped that him being a lion wouldn’t be permanent when he got back to Spira.

Xion followed this strange lion who seemed to be very proud of this blitzball and Zanarkand place he was from. She had no idea what he was talking about, but she wasn't about to interrupt him. He seemed to be used to talking a lot, and being recognized for his 'greatness'. Was he important back where he was from? He distracted her attention by asking about the Heartless, and she refocused as he motioned for her to follow him toward a large rock formation ahead. She wondered how Jecht had gotten here, and why he seemed to disoriented. Could it be he had never visited worlds like this before?

"Heartless are creatures of Darkness who seek what they don't have...Hearts. They consume these Hearts, because they gain power from them. It's a source of food, I think. Anyways, I've always attacked them, because the threat they pose to the Worlds is immense..they could disrupt the lives of those present..

[jecht]

While Xion tried to explain what a heartless was most of what she said really didn’t make too much sense to Jecht. Heartless, hearts, darkness it didn’t really add up in Jecht’s mind what did make sense was when she said they pose a threat to the worlds. Evil threatening worlds was something he understood very well after dealing with Sin. Turning to look directly at Xion “so these heartless things there like sin spawn right? I mean we just have to kill whatever is creating them and that's it right? Just like the summoners pilgrimage that I went on with Auron and Braska. The world would become safe and sound after we beat whatever is causing this and we become heroes. It’s as simple as that right?”


Jecht continued on his way to pride rock now with a different goal in mind. This world was in danger if what Xion said was true so being himself he was about to plunge himself right in the middle of the conflict to stop it himself and try to save everyone. Even if he wasn’t in his normal form at the moment that wasn’t going to stop him from doing anything reckless. After all he was the great Jecht no one can ever hope to match him in anything. Even as a lion he was still the best at everything he did or at least that was the way he thought. Jecht knew that he was an unstoppable force of nature and that helping people was the right thing to do. When he mixed those two things in his mind he was dead set on doing what was right even if it wasn’t any of his business.
