  "Squall, you're the one who gives me the most comfort. Comfort and happiness... And annoyance and disappointment, too!"
- Rinoa Heartilly -
"You're-going-to-like-me! You're-going-to-like-me! Did it work?"    Sometime ago, after her departure from the town of Nibelhiem and thanking Arcene for his saving her in that cursed place called space, she left to the Deling City by Chocobo. Though it wasn't her true destination, she just found it along her travels and mostly to escape the weather, any shelter right now would do some good. Rinoa now walked the streets of the city, while the Chocobo was in a stale resting. The Galbadia hotel neon signs lit up in the darkened city, almost as though it was a full sign to go rest up there for a while. It wasn't as though she had never been here before, there were great memories here for her, memories of her mother that she still held in her heart, memories she would never forget. Julia at times, would take her daughter to the hotel, where she would get a perfect seat and play her most beloved song, Eyes on Me. When she had finished, and the bar closed up Julia was given special privileges to play as long as she wanted. But what she was doing was teaching her little girl, Rinoa to play that very song.
In time, Rinoa had become better but not perfect. She always said she would play it one day and make it just as beautiful as her mothers. Then one day, before she was able to ever complete that goal, Julia had passed away. Rinoa had never played here ever again after that, in her extreme depression of losing her mother at the age of five she didn't know what to do and felt she could never play again. Then her entire family life went down the drain as her and her father grew farther apart, and she took up her mothers maiden name to push herself even farther from her father.
Now, she was here at that very same hotel, standing silently in the door way of the bar, where directly in front of her was that large grand piano. Still there, the same one and had never been moved all these years.Before she knew it, her legs moved into the direction of the piano, to which she stepped up the small royal red steps and slowly slid down into the bench. There were people there, who all were looking in awe as though it was Julia back from the dead! Rinoa did very much look like her!
As though she were in some form of a trance, her hands lifted and lightly rested over the keys.Soon, she began to start playing. But not just playing the piano, her voice too went into song as she played and sang her mothers song, with as much emotion as Julia had put into it, she hit every key and note perfectly!
Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy?
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar
My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you?
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
So let me come to you
Close as I want to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I love your peaceful eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you?
Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
Your tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then I will know
that you are no dreamer.
The room was silent after she sang and played her song, very few little sniffles were heard by some that actually remembered and knew Julia. This was a touching moment to them all! Then, as the shock wore off, clapping was heard! Rinoa looked up, her own features suddenly lightened up as though ever little bit of sadness in her was just lifted. Eventually she stood, wiping away a tear from her eyes! "I did it...I told you I would make it just as beautiful as you did, Mother.." She said silently into her mind..
  "I don't want the future.. I just want the present to stand still.. So I can stay here with you." ((ooc: ))

- Rinoa Heartilly -
"You're-going-to-like-me! You're-going-to-like-me! Did it work?" some days later since her little time in great memories, Rinoa was now sitting outside a familiar balcony, one she once stood at by the side of possessed Edea. She seemed to be sitting there, her eyes out cast to the city below her. Her depressed state and gone away from the trouble she had caused, that was yet still on going. Was anyone even trying to stop them? Sighing softly, the young Sorceress stood, walking off to leave the balcony, and eventually the building where she would then end up upon the streets. Strangely it was quiet tonight, not a single soul seemed to be out and she was starting to feel......lonely. Why was she hear exactly? When she thought of it she didn't even know the answer anymore! All she could do was, hope Squall and the others were safe and sound. Angelo was also being missed, for she had never been without that companion of hers to long.

Popla Cocapetri  Two objects flew over the city, but only one seemed to land, it was a strange bird like robot, this 'bird' looked far more high tech then anything in the city let alone this world, it hoped about and seemed to talk to him self saying a name every now and then "yes lord weil, me and sol have entered this city and preparing for scans" it said as he hopped about the bird seemed rather out of place, some of the citezens avoided it as they walked near it, it looked about sensing hardly anything of power here, just one single bio signature hit the sensor as odd to him, it had a decent power level for a bio substance, a carbon life form that might be of intrest to them

- Rinoa Heartilly -
"You're-going-to-like-me! You're-going-to-like-me! Did it work?"   Rinoa's soft brown eyes glanced up to the night sky, she could swear she heard something strange. Soon enough, the moon light glinted off a shiny robotic....chicken? A familiar robotic chicken too! ".........Oh..That thing again!! " She blinked, realizing that this was going to turn bad pretty quickly. Her without her weapon, or her Guardian Force which was taken by Fujin! "....Of course..! " She was here completely alone, she had no clue where Squall was, so, it seemed this was another battle she would have to pull through yet again! It would be interesting, for sure. The only weapon she was able to get from Nibelhiem shops was a......Gun. She also got a small dagger, but against a robot, that didn't seem like a lot of help here! Specially one who could turn you into stone. Watching the robotic 'chicken' land within the city, She began to check the gun she had strapped at her thigh in a black leather case. "..This just feels strange....I've never even shot off a gun before...But! It will have to do! O-okay...So...just...aim...and fire? Got it! " She said to herself, looking around now, the nervousness now becoming obvious as she just waited for the thing to make it's appearance known. Maybe she would be lucky and it wouldn't see her! Then again...if it started attacking anyone she wouldn't just stand there ether. "It can't be that hard!! Squall uses a huge gunblade-thing! I can certainly shoot off this tiny little thing!"

"Squall, you're the one who gives me the most comfort. Comfort and happiness... And annoyance and disappointment, too!"
- Rinoa Heartilly -
"You're-going-to-like-me! You're-going-to-like-me! Did it work?" Rinoa, upon seeing the robotic 'chicken' in her view once more, coming toward her and eventually landing there right next to where she was, for a moment the young Sorceress seemed to freeze up! Bad! "Oh no...! No! " She thought in her mind frantically, trying to get herself to move! It seemed this was turning worse then she thought, as the robotic creature began to speak. "...Y-you were the one...hacking...into..the ship!!" Her eyes widened as it's wings began to open up, and almost instantly the missiles were released and all coming at her! In her terrfied and fearful state she was in now she couldn't even seem to fire the gun at the thing, instead she felt as though her life were going to flash before her eyes. No way in the world could she, Rinoa Heartilly, dodge such an attack!
Dropping to the ground as though to brace herself, like that would really help in this case, she closed her eyes tightly! "No!!" She screamed, when all of a sudden a brilliant light flashed over her, just at that second the missiles struck! A sort of shield formed infront of her, absorbing most of the damage. Though that was one seriously lucky streak, for she didn't even know how she did that. Her Sorceress powers were the only thing that could be it! But without a GF to her, she couldn't use magic. "...Got to fight it...I can't run away, right? I will never win a battle if I run...!" Slowly, she stood up, picking up the gun from the ground and shakily pointing it toward the robot! "I had enough of you!" Pulling the trigger, Rinoa fired the gun of multiple times, all of which mainly missed it by......a lot! And a few hit the sides, pinging off the highly advanced metal. "Oh god...!!"
"I don't want the future.. I just want the present to stand still.. So I can stay here with you." ((ooc: ))

Popla Cocapetri Rinoa would soon see the 'chicken' fire a steady stream of lasers towards her, as the 'chicken' flew to a higher area then stomped down onto it firing from the higher ground making it harder for her to reach it "Hahaha! you will die crazy women" it yelled out, then a green beam soon flew to rinoa, if she remebred this attack she knew this was dangurous to her, it could turn her to stone! meanwhile flying over the city a flaming object took scans of the city with a smirk

- Rinoa Heartilly -
"You're-going-to-like-me! You're-going-to-like-me! Did it work?" Rinoa kept firing the gun she didn't even know how to aim right, more bullets missing and flying into the ground or hitting into stone, embedding them selves into the stone of buildings and thankfully not harming anyone there! Then, there was a faint clicking sound, as her weapon was now empty of ammo! Yeah, this was exactly why she hated guns. And now more then ever she was missing the Shooting Star, or any of her older weapons for that matter. She -should- have stored some spare ones with her but that was just to much to carry around on a daily basis. Tossing the gun of uselessness away, she looked up to see a stream of laser's now heading for her! The only thing she could do was jump out of the way at the best that she could to avoid them, though some just managed to graze her leg and arms, it was better then being struck directly! "You! You're crazy!!! If you kill me, you will have a lot of angry people after you and then YOU will die!!" Rinoa yelled out to it, just as the green beam flew at her! That HAD to be avoided. No matter what! Rolling out of the way from that beam -just- in the nick of time, the Sorceress was back on her feet again, though now her eyes were scanning the area frantically for some sort of object she could use for a weapon. Despite all her many fights in the past, she was not cut out for this, and was gradually getting exhausted from all the moves she had to do just to try and avoid being hit!

"You're-going-to-like-me! You're-going-to-like-me! Did it work?" "..Then....they..will destroy the people to create you and you will never be rebuilt again...You who has no honor! I have no weapon and you still atta--!" Before she could finish off her sentence, the next attack came, this time of...bombs of acid like substance! Rinoa jumped to the side, using her duster to throw over her form in hops to block any of the acid from getting onto her skin, though it did manage to splash onto her hand that was holding it over her. Painful, but not deadly, not that small amount anyway. Then she quickly tossed the whole thing off her body, before it would seep through to her body. There was a car to her left, and that was exactly where she was going to go for cover!

Popla Cocapetri The chicken smirked to the poor girl, she didnt quite know who she was really messing with, a man who so loathed poeple like the ones of avalanche he sent a satalite down upon them from space "well Lord Weil will enjoy his new playthings!" he then lifted his wings and a volley of missiles soon launched at the poor girl, it seemed she was defence less and well he was a far seperior machine then anything here, he was what is known as a reploid in his world, a robot with high AI it could make its own desicions, but she did know of another repliod, zero who helped before who hasnt been seen for months

- Rinoa Heartilly -
"You're-going-to-like-me! You're-going-to-like-me! Did it work?" Diving right over the car's front hood, she slid off the other side, sinking down to the other side of it as the missiles were launched at her! Now, the bad thing was, she was taking over of a ticking time bomb. Once those missiles hit, this car was full tank on gas unknowingly to her. The sudden impact they made with the car in there attempt to strike her, made the car explode into a mass of flames, metal being flung from the car, acting like weapons to anyone in the area that was in there path. Rinoa was thrown back a few feet from the blast, the metal of the car that had flown off struck her in various area's of her body, the heat and fire obviously didn't fair to well on her skin. A now bleeding and badly hurt young Sorceress laid there on the ground where she was thrown by the blasts, though she wasn't dead! Then again if she didn't get healing she would ether die of blood loss, or be killed by that creature.
That was when a spray of bullets started flying toward the robotic creature! And one, very large bazooka gun being pointed at it next, which also fired off! "Spread out!! Destroy the target with everything you've got!!" Came a man's voice from behind it, as when it would turn around, it would see about ten Soldier's all ready to defend and attack!

Sol Titanion  Soon a hail fire of bullets came upon the 'chicken' as soldiers came to the aid of rinoa it started to laugh even after the rocket hit him only chipping the paint and damaging one of his rocket turents but soon a flamming burst hit the ground infront of the soldier, when they looked up it seemed like a robotic butterfly was in the air, it had flamming wings and a devilish smirk on it "O popla it seems you've drawn quite the crowd, are job is done go back to neo arcadia" soon the 'chicken' smirked then just vanished from site The flamming butterfly above looked down to poor rinoa and started to laugh "o what the show you put on, thank you for entertaining my friend, I am the 6th general of the Einherjar army, hope to see you soon dear" then she too vanished

- Rinoa Heartilly -
"You're-going-to-like-me! You're-going-to-like-me! Did it work?" The Soldiers kept there arms trained on the 'chicken' robot, while the few others put there's pointed at the strange flaming butterfly robotic thing. Though they didn't fire, for fear of there own lives. Two of them? This was a very dangerous situation! Though when the butterfly like one began to talk, giving the other orders to leave, they would soon give one small breath of relief. Though when it started talking to Rinoa, it wouldn't get much of a reply back as she was out cold! After that one left, The Soldiers ran to the injured young women, one casting Curaga, while the other seemed to be checking her over to be sure there were no deathly injuries or broken bones. Soon enough, one gently picked Heartily up into his arms, while two others went to tend to the fiery wreckage of the car to get that put out. The ones with Rinoa all headed to the small hospital area in Deling City to put her into the proper care for the night. With there care, she'd be fine for sure.

- Rinoa Heartilly -
"You're-going-to-like-me! You're-going-to-like-me! Did it work?"   The morning came to the next day, and Rinoa was now walking out of the building she was earlier being cared for in. Though now, she was clad in a soft blue elegant dress, mesh lined the bottom of the sides, giving it a soft flowing look as long skyblue ribbons hung at the sides. She had a set of white shoes and of course, her two most treasured rings at the necklace around her neck. There was a couple she knew from the days she would come here with her mother that knew her, and being as concerned as they and quite a bit of others were, showered her with gifts! Though the most important was new clothing after her old outfit was very well destroyed.Now, walking along she waved a little to the others inside her goodbye, before going off to look for some sort of diner area to eat. Hospital food was way to gross!
"I don't want the future.. I just want the present to stand still.. So I can stay here with you." ((ooc: Stupid page refreshing on me and making me lose my post....that one was so much longer and better, so this one just sucks. lol. Oh well. ))
