Well... Here's an original story written by me. I want to tread away from the RLM series a bit, yet this'll still star Gerard, one of the three heroes of RLM. It'll be a bit different than the usual RLM, but yeah. I hope you guys enjoy it.
Chapter 1: Let It Enfold You (Senses Fail)
A young woman had rode the elevator down three floors. The hallway was brightly lit and the sounds of computers humming had surrounded her. The light shined off her blue hair as she moved. Her motion had her hair flowing behind her like a river. She stood in front of a door as it slid open. She stepped into the dark room and stood by the chair. "Captain, he's it's about that time again," the woman in the seat said.
"Excellent, wake him up," the woman said. The window in front of the computers had brightened. The room was entirely white, and so was the room they were examining. "Marielle, where is he?" the woman asked.
"Hmm... He should've been in the bed. There was no way he could get out," Marielle answered. The door slid open and Gerard stood at the door wearing his black slacks, shirt, and red tie.
"Good morning Tatsuki, Marielle," he said with a nod.
"Gerard, what the hell are you doing up this early?" Tatsuki asked. She walked out the door and Gerard had followed.
"Beats me," Gerard answered. She led him into his room and he sat on the bed. She stood in front of her with her hands on her hips.
"You're supposed to stay in this room. You know that. We need to do some tests on you still. If we can't get you to the client, we'll have to send you back to that floating stone you call Spira,"
"Don't say that. I liked Spira,"
"Right. Anyway, today, we're going to test your mental and physical limits. There will be several difficult tests. Your results will tell us if you're up to snuff. If you are, you'll be chosen for the job, but if you're not, you know what happens,"
"Really? I thought you were intersted in my wing?"
"We've already ran tests on that. It's confidential information. Now, get into your test suit," Tatsuki said. She left Gerard in silence as he took a deep breath and let out a sigh. He laid back on the bed and looked at his surroundings. It was different from his home in Spira. Computers, machina that talk, lightbulbs, they all confused him. And the thing he missed the most was Rikku. He started having thoughts about home, and tried to hold on to them as long as he could.
"Wait, so you're taking me away?" Gerard asked. The airship sped faster and faster. Gerard stared out the window as he watched Spira shrink smaller and smaller. Tatsuki looked back at him from the pilots seat. "Where are we going?"
"Shut up. Go to sleep or something. Right now, we're having a bit of trouble breaking out of orbit,"
"We're going into space?"
"That's the plan," Tatsuki said. The airship gained more and more speed. And finally, Gerard saw Spira as a little ball. He grew nervous. He's been in space before, but now, he's not going back. "Finally, Gerard. Wait about a couple hours, we'll reach the mothership in a bit. Try to get some sleep,"
"Rikku..." Gerard whispered. He fell asleep shortly and a few hours passed. The sound of the engine humming slowly lulled him to sleep. The airship had entered the mother ship and they had landed.
"Wake up. Wake up damnit," Tatsuki said. Gerard wouldn't bulge. Tatsuki was fed up. She threw her fist into his cheek and Gerard woke up in an instant. "Finally, let's go,"
"Fine..." Gerard moaned. He stood up and started walking. As soon as he stepped out of the ship, he was greeted to a poke with a tazer. "Ouch! Am I bleeding? Damn, that still hurt though. Was that entirely necessary?" he asked. The guard who did that had looked at Tatsuki and she seemed to have given him a nod of approval. He pulled out a gun and when he pulled the trigger, Gerard fell asleep.
The next few days were filled with rigorous tests. They had provoked him further and further to make his wing sprout, using several kinds of torture methods, such as eletricution, whips, and having one of the guards boast that Gerard couldn't use a pogo stick.. Each time they did, they only prodded him more and more. He was their helpless test subject.
The day before, Gerard had collapsed in the test area. Tatsuki had ran into the area and knelt in front of Gerard. Gerard's face was drenched in sweat and his wing had dissappeared. Gerard was exhausted. "Are you okay?" Tatsuki asked. Gerard didn't answer. "I think we over did it," Tatsuki said.
"Boo!" Gerard yelled. Tatsuki shreiked and fell back. Gerard let out a laugh and smiled at her. Tatsuki had stood up and kicked him in the head, leaving Gerard flying towards the wall.
"Nevermind, we didn't do it enough," Tatsuki said.
"Understood Captain, do you want us to do more tests?"
"I think we have all the data we need. Get Gerard to the hospital wing immediately," Tatsuki ordered. A group of guards had burst through the door. The picked Gerard up and put him on a stretcher and carried him away.
Gerard let out a sigh once more. Damnit. They're not making me wear that suit again, he said as he looked at the skin tight suit hanging in the closet.
