Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Jaakuna wasn’t the smartest guy, but even his cluelessness had a limit. He knew something was bothering Emiri. He didn’t know what it was or why she was getting so annoyed, but the Sky Pirate definitely knew there was something bothering her. He knew that much as she had just got up and left to go to the barracks. Jaakuna would definitely want to find out what exactly was bothering her and why Jaakuna saying all the dresses he has in the barracks area were Savayna’s bothered her so much.

So, Jaakuna followed her, being able to stop her as he grabbed her hand, and yanked her back to him. Jaakuna gripped her tight, and he looked into her bold violet eyes. “You want to tell me what’s wrong with you? Why does it bother you so much that the dresses are Savayna’s?” Jaakuna said as he pretty much demanded an answer as his tone was in a yelling manner.

An odd look appeared on Jaakuna’s face. He hadn’t had this discussion with anyone before because there was no need for it. Jaakuna was never asked about his past or his marriage to Savayna because there was no need. He never got close to anyone, or at least not for enough time for said people to be able to question him about his wife/ex-wife. So, Jaakuna wasn’t prepared for this conversation, but he knew he had to have it.

Setting his food aside, Jaakuna slid the plate to the side. “Well, it’s a little more complicated than that. “Jaakuna spoke as he looked down at the table, then he looked back up. “Yes, they are — were her clothes, and yes she’s my wife — erm ex-wife, I don’t know. “Jaakuna stood up, looking at the sink, then back at Emiri. “There‘s a lot you don‘t know about me, about her, and why I ran from my home three years ago."Jaakuna said as he was leaning against the sink, hands on it as his elbows were bent in a position that made them that way when he set his hands on the edge of the sink.

Getting all angry? For what? Jaakuna just continued with his coffee, not even responding to what Emiri said about having her coffee already, but about the last bit, he felt the need to actually respond back. “Yeah, well I’m not. I prefer not to hear annoying birds chirp. It’s fucking annoying. I prefer the sounds of my farts waking me up.” JAakuna said as he had finished his coffee. He walked over to the sink, and put in there, turning on the fosit as he did to wash the leftover liquid .

As he did that, Jaakuna proceeded to get some breakfast. He just got some bread and cheese Just getting a bit of it, he started eating as he had sat down in the chair that he was sitting in before. As he ate, taking in one bite at a time, Emiri started talking, well asking a question is more like it. What she had to ask prompted Jaakuna to spit out his food in total surprise, some of it getting on Emiri’s face. “W-what?” Jaakuna said as he quickly got a napkin and wiped off his face as cheese and crumbs of bread had gotten on his face. What she had asked had taken him by surprise. He didn’t expect that so early in the morning.

“Well, um, yeah you’re right. “ Jaakuna said as he tried to eat as quickly as he could. “What brought this up?” Jaakuna said as he tried to get to the bottom of it without wanting to know specifics, but he did, even though he wouldn’t admit that.

Jeez, does she have no decency. IT’S THE FUCKING MORNING! Jaakuna just rubbed his temples at the very overreaction and imagination of Emiri. Surely she has never heard of an AI. Jaakuna was both irritated and amused at this lack of knowledge that Emiri had..or rather didn’t have.

“ Sheesh woman, you sure don’t know a bit about how far technology as come. It’s a fucking A.I, dumbo.” Jaakuna said as he sipped his coffee. Then he heard her ask him why he wearing the shirt that he is wearing. “What, are you a shirt racist now? It’s just a black fucking shirt. Seriously, you’re dumb when you don’t have your coffee.’ Jaakuna said as he simply sipped his coffee some more, holding his cup with two hands.

Jaakuna had taken the time to shower up. It was quick and fast, maybe about ten minutes. He just wanted to freshen up. He had washed his body and hair two times over and as he got out, he wrapped a towel around his waist and went to his closet. He just picked out a few things. First, he got a pair of semi-bleached out grey pants. As he picked out that, he also grabbed a black shirt. He also picked up his shoes that he always wears, and put on his red jacket over it. He let his hair just hang out as that’s how he prefers to wear it.

Heading down via the elevator, Jaakuna came down just in time to hear Emiri ask what that noise she heard was.

“I am I.R.I.S., the ship’s AI, Miss Emiri. Do tell me how I can be of assistance.” IRIS said as she went quiet.

Jaakuna walked in, instantly smelling that delicious smell within the air. “Damn, what are you cooking? It smells delish~” He said as he sat down, pouring himself a cup of coffee before he did so.

In his room, Jaakuna had the blankets all over the bed and half-hanging off of the bed. His right hand was in his pants and the other supporting his head by it being a butterfly-like formation. As he scratched his balls, Jaakuna slowly opened up his eyes. The first thing that he saw when he opened them was the bright light from the sun beaming from his sunroof. He turned around, hands off from his head and his pants, Jaakuna looked towards the clock. It was around 10am. Jaakuna sighed as he laid his head back down on his fluffy pillows. He laid there for a few minutes. He wanted to keep on sleeping, but he knew he had to get up fully.

“I.R.I.S.(Integrated Reality Intelligence System), is Emiri up yet” Jaakuna said as he wiped his eyes with his hands.

“Yes sir, she is. She’s in the kitchen in the barracks having coffee. Shall I inform her that you’re awake?” Iris spoke, asking Jaakuna if she should inform emiri of him awakening.

“Yeah, that’s fine.”
“It shall be done, sir.”

“Miss Emiri. Master Jaakuna wishes me to inform you that he is awake. He will be down to the kitchen shortly.” Iris said as her voice resonated through the speakers and walls of the kitchen in the visitor barracks.

As Emiri got up, Jaakuna was relieved. It was a clear indication that the antidote worked. Jaakuna wasn’t all that worried, but he probably had a slight doubt in his mind. He did show his relief as he stood up and sort of sniffed in. That was a neurological tendency that he shows when he’s relieved, but doesn’t want to show it via him being embarrassed, which he was at the moment that he did that.

As she did stand up, Emiri was apologizing for being careless. Jaakuna didn’t think she was careless. “What are you talking about? You couldn’t have known that you would get poisoned. Don‘t be sp hard on yourself.” Jaakuna said as he put her worried to rest; or at least he hoped that he did.

Hearing her bringing up what they should do now, Jaakuna was certainly at a stalemate. He was in agreement with her about how the two biggest empires of Ivalice were after them. And she was right about him not really being for hiding, but not like he had much of a choice. He did know that eventually they would have to tackle this, but it was late and Jaakuna was wiped and so was Emiri, he’s assuming.

“Let’s figure out what to do in the morning.” Jaakuna said as he started walking past Emiri. “Go get some sleep.” He said as he had stopped the ship just a few miles west of the Royal City of Rabanastre. The magical chain that kept the ship in park, so to speak, was launched to the desert below and the invisible cloak was still in place. As Jaakuna did that, he instantly passed Emiri, again, and went towards the elevator that went only to his room and to the bridge/cockpit area. He did that and within a minute he was at his room. Once he got to his room, he took off his jacket, weapons, pants, shoes(and socks), and nothing was left but his red and white boxers. He just went for his bed, taking some of the blanket off so he can get into it and as he clapped, the AC was on, lights went off, and to dreamland he went.

8 hours later

It’s morning in the Archadian Empire and it has not been a very fun morning in any sense of the word. Word has been crossed to Vincent that Savayna was not only unsuccessful in retrieving Jaakuna or the ship Ifrit, but she caused some unhappy times in Bhujerba. Of course, Vincent didn’t even think she would go that far to obtain Jaakuna. Like seriously taking nine soldiers to the neutral city that both the Rozarrian AND Archadian Empires both need on their side. Vincent wasn’t happy about that when he read it from his brother, Marquis Roman’s report. Nevertheless, a meeting with her would be had.

In his office or throne room, as some would call it, there sat Vincent, arms bent on the big table and fingers laced together. Only his piercing red eyes were seen as he was leaning forward slightly and a very upset expression on his face.

Suddenly, three somewhat loud knocks were at his door. “Come in.“ He spoke aloud.

It was Michelangelo. He walked in, and also walked down the carpet, stopping at the three steps that are before the table. “Your grace.” He said, bowing before Vincent. “My boss, and your sister-in-law, Savayna Glacie is outside as you requested.” He said, announcing that Savayna was waiting outside.

He let out a single chuckle. “Good. Send her in, would you Michel?” He said.

Michel bowed and nodded.

Within a few minutes, Michel would leave his grace’s office, and outside waiting would be Savayna, obviously not happy. “Go in.” Michel said.

Savayna hissed as she and Michel walked passed each other in opposite directions. They gave each other looks as if there was some bad blood between them. Michel stopped her. “If I were you, I would beg for mercy.” Michel said, his voice in a very threatening tone.

Savayna just shrugged what Michel said. It was within a minute or so that she entered, walked down the carpet. Her armor click and clacking in noise. Stopping in front of the three steps before Vincent’s table, she spoke. “Your grace. “ She said as she bowed.

Vincent was upset at her, but not angry. “Oh, Savayna, my dear sister-in-law, what am I to do with you?” He said as he stood up, hands locked behind his back.

Savayna was starting to be fearful of Vincent. “Whatever it is you wish of me, your grace.” She said.

Vincent rounded around his desk and in front of Savayna as he was in front of his own desk. He leaned against it. “I gave you a simple order and that was to retrieve my brother and my father’s ship, but you couldn’t even do that right. “ He said, his tone at a very intimidating type. “Tell me, why should I even keep you as my top General? You obviously can’t get one job done and then you have the audacity to both bring soldiers to the neutral city of Bhujerba, but you brought fear to my older brother’s people.” He said as he had finished what he had to say. Hearing what she had to say would be something he’s interested to hear.

She was shaken up…and surprised. Savayna thought that Roman would have included the hostage situation in his report, but he didn’t. That confused Savayna, but she was also happy that he didn’t. That meant that she would just have to come up with an excuse of some kind to get out of this slight mess she has dug herself in.

“Well, your lordship, I just thought that maybe the extra muscle would be able to squeeze out information from your brother. I see now that I was wrong in thinking so. For that, you have my deepest apologies. “ She said, bowing her head.

Vincent wasn’t pleased with her answer, but he would accept it. Obviously she was just doing what she thought was right, but that’s the problem. “Savayna, I put trust in you. I give you my men with full authority and this is how you repay me?” He walked up to her., stopping just inches away from her. “I’m going to have to teach you a lesson about respect. “ He said turning around, hands still behind his back. “Strip.”

Her icy-blue eyes widened. The feeling of fear, dread, and excitement was all rolling up in one big bag of emotions. “W-w-what?” She spoke.

“You heard me. Remove your clothing for me now.” He said as he turned her head around to her direction.

Despite her being totally against it, Savayna did it by first removing her armor, which took a few minutes, then she started to remove her dress. Slipping it off one strap at a time, she was reduced to her bare bra and underwear, which shared an icy-blue and silver shade. “Here, happy?” She said, turning away.

Vincent turned around, displeased. “All of it.” He looked at her with displeasure.

“You can’t be serious!?”
“Oh but I am. Now, do it.”

At this point, Savayna was in tears. Crying each time she had to remove a strap from her bra. After she did that, she then removed her panties, showing nothing but her birthday suit. “Does this please his lordship?” She said, turning her head away.

“Come here!”
“Yes your grace.”

As she walked over to him, he took her, wrapping his arms around her bare body. He embraced her, and she, for a moment, was happy. She embraced him too, and then things took a nasty turn. He bent her over his table, and slapped her ass. The sound of it rippled through the empty room. His lower body pressed against hers, his upper-body leaned forward, his head(his mouth) near her ears. “Is this how my brother did it?” He whispered in her ear.

By this point, Savayna had shock and disgust all over her face and in mind. She couldn’t believe it. She turned around, but the force that Vincent had on her was too much. She couldn’t break free. She tried as hard as she could, but she just couldn’t.

“Stop it, Vincent! STOP IT!” She yelled at the top of her voice.

Vincent turned her around, and with a forceful knee, he drove it right into her gut. As a result, she grasped her gut and fell to her knees. Vincent laughed slightly.

“NEVER call me by my name ever again.” Vincent said as he was at ear-level with her. “Now, put some clothes on. You look pathetic.” He said as he turned to the balcony and waved her away.

She couldn’t believe what kind of man he was. So ashamed of herself, she quickly put her bra and panties on as well as her dress and then her armor, and she ran away, crying as she did so. She forced her way through the doors and as she ran past Michel, she didn’t stop. He saw that she was crying. He was speechless. He didn’t know what happened in there, but definitely it wasn’t something that he wished to know, at least not yet.

Yeah but that wait is a bitch if it stretches near a damn decade (and probably longer). It's gotten to the point where it is the most anticipated game of my lifetime, I can pretty much be done with gaming the moment I get my hands on it. Think of it like my personal hypothetical Half-Life 3. Shit I was so blind sided by the trailer they showed at E3 2013, I legit did not know how to react to KH3 being announced as well, if it was announced maybe 2009-2012 then I would've have been even more psyched then I was, but you know good ol Nomura with the fucken double whammy. Also, somehow FF15 replaced KH3 as far as anticipation went, something I thought would never happen (but was in hindsight more plausible than FF15/Versus becoming a reality) You would think with a new numbered FF they'd strive towards getting people more hyped ya know, but E3 2014 taught me to never trust Square Enix to properly advertise a mainline anything. At this point I probably shouldn't speak ill of a company that has many of my favorite IP's though >.> (expects there to be news of FF15 being cancelled soon.. '_' )

I can definitely understand that the wait would definitely be a bitch. I think most FF fans have been awaiting for it since...well most of them were either in middle school or earlier depending on how early they've been ff fans. I know I have been waiting for it since the beginning in my high school life(2006) and I have been out of high school for 4 full years. So yeah, I can relate with you there. I do think that taking it out of the FF13 side was a smart move just cause it would have gotten nowhere then I think. Maybe, since we actually got some real footage of gameplay that maybe we're going to be getting an actual release date or at least possible one. Though, I guess maybe I'm hoping for too much too soon. xD

Through all the shitty FF13 sequels, (no offense if you liked them, but FUCK Toriyama for last gen FF and the 3rd Birthday), and with only FF14:ARR, and FF Type-0 to keep the franchise steady I must say, the lot of us FF fans have suffered enough. May we somehow find solace in remasters, and other IP's T-T

Alright, alright, probably too much FF conversation in a KH roleplay lmao. Sorry, Hero.
Luckily, KH is a pretty well-rounded series and has some great games. I hope they remaster/port KH:DDD like they did Chain of Memories for PS3 or 4, that'd be a nice way to top off the remixes.

I have never played the FF13 sequels, not cause I didn't want to, but just cause I never gotten the chance to. Id o plan on doing it though. Also, FF Type-0 is what I can't wait for. It's one of the few FFs that have a fresh concept in recent years. I mean, it's set in a school setting, so that's pretty fucking fresh for FF. Perhaps somewhat copying Persona 3, but still.

Also, I don't think Hero minds about the FF discussion. since FF is apart of the KH universe, it's not really spamming haha.

do eeet

There is a question I have. Considering that this will be a new character that would most likely would not have known any of the other mutants, would impressions still have to go right away or will I be able to fill them in as my new character gets to know/meets the other mutants?
