Stargate: Unlimited

Hyrule

"He told you to..."

He sighs and closes eyes. And tries to think of a third way.

"I am sorry, I can't even imagine what he has put you through..."

Nomad

"It's America, right?"

Earth

"I'm not here for that, it is a much more serious matter you have at hand."

Dammerung

"I think we can go back at searching Aiden."

---

He shakes his head. And takes his own Keyblade.

"More like, it's not right here with me."

Valhalla

"I'm sorry if I am not the father you expected. I have whatsoever no experience with children."

Hyrule

"Don't... apologize."

Nomad

"Yep." She says simply.

Earth

"I realize that, Syd."

Dammerung

"Okay," Mary nods.

---

"Then I can't believe you."

Valhalla

"This is good practice then." Lenneth smiles and pushes the baby into his arms.

Hyrule

He looks worried.

"... What are you going to do then?"

Nomad

"I see." he smiles and looks around

Earth

"Hence why you both have to evolve as parents."

Dammerung

He stands and helps her stand.

---

"Fine fine, I'm going to show you , but you have to wait for a little while."

No no, he isn't preparing a trick.

Valhalla

He takes it.... reluctantly.

"Fine, ok, what do I have to do?"

Hyrule

"I don't know..." Zelda says sadly.

Nomad

Vega grins and takes him around the park.

Earth

"That's very easy to say but not nearly so easy in action."

Dammerung

Mary smiles and gets up with him.

---

"No." Aqua says simply.

"Where is she?"

Valhalla

"Just hold her, bond. Half of her comes from you. When she's older, you might be surprised at how alike she is to you in some aspects."

Hyrule

"I know one thing at least, you're not going back to him."

Nomad

He smiles and follows her around.

"It's nice."

Earth

"Never pretended this was easy; but it's to be done."

Dammerung

"I'm sure we'll have more luck now."

---

"You disappoint me." he simply replies "Can't you make an educated guess?"

Valhalla

"..."

He holds her.

"We'll see about that."

Hyrule

"I can't! He'll only kill more people if I don't."

Nomad

"Come on, let's go on Wildcat."

Earth

"I honestly don't think I'll make a good parent, Syd."

Dammerung

"I think you're right. Where should we start?"

---

"Just tell me where she is! You haven't got any dirty tricks this time to throw me off balance!"

Valhalla

The baby just lays comfortably in Lezard's arms.

"We will, won't we?" Lenneth smiles.

Hyrule

"What if I force you?"

Nomad

He looks at it, and is... uncertain.

"... You sure?"

Earth

"You will, no parents are ready. Even when they're pregnant for 9 months. You both have an advantage, most parent have difficulty because they generally had quiet, romantic lives, and they lose it all when the child comes in the picture. You've never had the quiet and romantic lives; but you have now free time to use."

Dammerung

"I have no idea." he sighs "I have nothing left of Xehanort, no more lost memories of him."

---

"Alright, alright. In fact, she's with us right now as we speak, happy?"

Valhalla

Yeah, he smiles. Nervously.

Hyrule

"I don't think he'll believe that you would force me."

Nomad

"Oh yeah. This is one of the mildest coasters in the park."

Earth

"Maybe we didn't have quiet romantic lives but we're still up shit creek without a paddle since Raines is still out there."

Dammerung

"That's good. It makes things difficult to find Aiden but there's nothing holding you back anymore."

---

"What?!"

Valhalla

Lenneth watches, pleased. And the baby just tries to get closer, trying to snuggle under his jacket.

Hyrule

"With the story you told me, I'm tempted to do it anyway. For your own sake."

Nomad

"I see..."

No, he doesn't look very reassured.

Earth

"But you can leave to another planet, he won't find you."

Dammerung

"Yeah." he nods "I think the best we can do is having you trying to locate her Animus. It'll be faint, but we'll have some areas to start by."

---

"You heard me." he grins "You wanted proof, you'll have it. Aiden, how 'bout you come with us?" he calls her, assuming she's around.

Valhalla

He tries to let her do, it's hard, but he tries.

Hyrule

"Daniel... I can't let you- the Hylian's shouldn't suffer anymore."

Nomad

"Trust me, okay?"

Earth

"We still need to help my father too."

Dammerung

Mary nods and tries.

---

Aiden does join them, after a moment and doesn't say a word.

Valhalla

The baby smiles in her sleep and holds his shirt with her tiny hand. Comfy mini-god is comfy.

Hyrule

"But if I give up my quest, the Kingdom is doomed forever. The four of us have made considerable progress, if we get the 4th piece of the Stargate, we may have a chance to rebuild it and contact the SGC."

Nomad

"Okay..." he slowly nods

Earth

"I think he is beyond help at this point... that is just my opinion of course."

Dammerung

He waits.

---

He grins then turns to Aqua

"You see, she's here, and she could have run away if she wanted. Now you can go back to your Master and tell him what a failure you are."

Valhalla

Well, Lezard doesn't do anything to wake her up, but he's really, not used to that.

Hyrule

"He's expecting that, I think. That's why he's killing so many Hylian's, to force my hand to stop you."

Nomad

Vega smiles and gets in line with him. About ten minutes later, they're seated on the coaster.

Earth

"I can't just give up on him."

Dammerung

She directs them after a bit.

---

"No! She's coming back with me to say it to his face and to the other two!"

Valhalla

She wakes up after a little bit and giggles at Lezard's expression.

Hyrule

"But if you won't do it... He just wants to break you."

Nomad

No, no, he is not anxious or anything. Nope.

Earth

"And what do you wish to do?"

Dammerung

He looks at the world areas

"We're gonna try them all."

---

He sighs and turns to Aiden.

"What a pain she is. Would it bother you to say it to those three loosers?"

Valhalla

He tries to smile, a bit. He hopes some God is gonna show up and asks for help or something, soon.

Hyrule

"I think... he's already done that..."

Nomad

Vega squeezes his hand.

Earth

"I don't know yet."

Dammerung

"It's a lot."

---

"I don't mind," Aiden says with a shrug.

Valhalla

The baby reaches up, after a minute, for his glasses and giggles some more.

Hyrule

He pulls her against him.

"Don't say that, we'll find something."

Nomad

he smiles. A bit.

Earth

"Think to your son first."

Dammerung

"Unfortunately."

---

He grins and turns to aqua.

"See, we're going with you, maybe you'll stop harassing us afterward."

Valhalla

He tries to keep his glasses, and miracle, a God comes and says he's needed elsewhere.

"Oh, what a shame." Lezard says and turns to Lenneth "can you keep the baby?"

Hyrule

Zelda lets him and leans her head against his chest.

Nomad

Vega smiles too and off they go.

Earth

Parker nods.

Dammerung

Mary nods.

"Which one should we start with?"

---

Aqua just glares at him.

Valhalla

"Of course," Lenneth nods and takes her from Lezard.

Hyrule

And he just holds her tenderly, for a lil while.

Nomad

"..."

He's silent, very, and eyes shut tight.

Earth

Ad he goes back to his work.

Dammerung

He points... The Colosseum. Absolute random.

---

He walks to her slowly.

"Hey Master Looser, do you know what is this strange thing you feel in your mouth?" he asks "It's the wonderfully bitter taste of defeat."

Valhalla

He smiles.

"I will be back soon."

And he goes.

Hyrule

Zelda slowly wraps her arms around him.

Nomad

Vega's laughing the entire ride.

Earth

Parker reads for a bit longer.

Dammerung

Mary nods again and they go.

---

"This isn't over yet!"

Valhalla

"We'll be here." Lenneth smiles too.

Hyrule

He passes a hand in her hairs.

"I'll take care of everything now, ok?"

Nomad

Not Otacon, like, quite the contrary.

Earth

And they all do their own business.

Dammerung

He looks around, and does not see her.

"Wrong one."

---

He chuckles.

"Really? And what are you gonna do? She doesn't want your help, for the mere fact that she doesn't need any help. It may not show on her face, but she's very happy as it is. You should try someday, darkness makes your life very much easier and happier. Not to mention, you're used to follow blindly orders, from an idiot no less."

Valhalla

And he goes to take care of stuff, which lasts a long long time.

Hyrule

"Okay..."

Nomad

And it eventually comes to a stop.

Earth

She eventually stops and goes to see Kyle.

Dammerung

"Very wrong." Mary agrees and returns to the Elsa.

---

"Shut up! You have no right to talk about my Master like that! The only reason she doesn't want help is because you've manipulated her!"

Valhalla

Lenneth takes care oft he baby during that time.

Hyrule

He thinks a bit.

"... I'm sorry, but we have to go through that last temple."

Nomad

He doesn't look so well.

"... I believe I'm going to throw up."

Earth

Kyle is playing some game on PSP. Or PS Vita rather by now.

Dammerung

This time, he points Hollow Bastion.

---

"Manipulated? More like enlightened. She was dying and in coma. I've saved her and offered her a blissful life, Master Aqua, do not I deserve a thanks?"

Valhalla

He comes back latter.

Hyrule

"I don't know if I can..."

Nomad

"You've gotta be kidding me. That was the calmest coaster here. Imagine if I took you on Great Bear."

Earth

Parker just watches for a bit.

Dammerung

Mary has them go there and goes out.

---

"Not when it's through underhanded means like you've used!"

Valhalla

When he comes back, Lenneth is falling asleep on the bed with the baby sleeping on her chest.

Hyrule

"I think we'll bring you to an out of reach location first."

Nomad

"Yeah- No." he shakes his head "Not my thing."

Earth

He looks up to her.

"Mother?"

Dammerung

He follows her and looks around.

"I think we came here once before; when Xehanort didn't possess me."

---

"Underhanded means? you're more than wrong, I have always said what my methods are. Besides... Ever since your birth, you've been raised to believe in light, to obey your fool of a master, and to keep everything in order. Who the hell are you to judge her now new belief are any worst than yours?"

Valhalla

He looks at her for a while, and opts not to bother them.

Hyrule

Zelda just nods.

Nomad

"Well damn, that takes some of the fun out of this. Guess we can swing by the arcades."

Earth

"Having fun?"

Dammerung

"I think you're right. But it looks different."

---

"Because that wasn't her belief before you showed up! Otherwise her brother wouldn't have come seeking help for her!"

Valhalla

Lenneth wakes up before he goes.

"Lezard? You were gone quite some time."

Hyrule

"Zelda..."

Nomad

"I suppose... Sorry."

Earth

"Yeah, Sydney thinks I should rather read books though."

Dammerung

He nods.

"Let's go take a look."

---

"Her brother? A damn hypocrite... Peoples change continuously, I'm sorry to say, she adapted fine and has no intention to believe your lies. We are all fed up with an ideology at birth, just consider she has had a re-birth."

Valhalla

He turns to her.

"I am sorry my dear, but the quantity of work that has been belated was, and still is, quite consequent."
