As much as Serah may slightly not like the over-reacting shape-shifter, she felt moved by her actions, and sorry for the girl as well, It must be terrible having to go through her life afraid that every waking moment if she did something wrong she would get beaten into the ground. “Oh right...” Serah didn’t want to upset the girl, she wondered whether she should write to Hope about it, though she decided against it, she didn’t want to start another war between Cocoon and Gran Pulse, especially seeing as in the last one Hope lost his mother. “Well that’s just great” Serah couldn’t keep herself contained any longer, she felt overwhelmed with everything, she was having major mood swings, one moment she was euphoric and the next she felt like she was crashing down to hell. “If anyone from either Cocoon or Gran Pulse finds out you do realise that you could start another war right?” She snapped at Jasmine, “No offense but how could you do that? Artefacts that come from one world should stay there! Especially if they contain unexplainable voices that turn out to be Fal ‘Cie!” Serah felt like banging her head against something, anything, “No one can find out about this, no one! You know what the last war did, it affected so many people, people who lost their lives,” she turned to face Noel, “and we would have to include Snow, you know how much I hate him for what he did to Hope’s mother!” [/size][/center]

Jasmine squealed and backed away, clumsily in her Lacewing Dragon form. As she tried to back away she went back into human form. She was shaking uncontrollably, but this time instead of breaking down, she retaliated. With anger.
"What was I supposed to do?!" she screeched. "I'd lost my memory, hadn't a clue where I'd come from...I didn't even know what the Gran Pulse WAS! I didn't even remember my real NAME! How was I to know how bad picking up a necklace would be? I don't want to start a war and have no intention of doing so either!" Jasmine stood there, quivering in anger, her fists bunched up. Then her necklaced flashed, her eyes widened, and the tears started to come. Jasmine stumbled but managed to steady herself.
"I don't want to cause trouble...but it's hard when you have no past, no memories to look back on." she whispered. Her slender limbs were still shaking a little. Noel felt sorry for her; she had lost her memory, gone through the world without a clue of what was going on around her, been beaten up for anything she ever did wrong...what kind of person deserved a life like that? Noel didn't want Jasmine to try to throw herself off the cliff again.

Serah felt terrible, she collapsed to her knees and held her head in her hands, “I’m s-so so-sorry” she stammered, “I-I don’t know wh-why I’m acting t-this way” she felt like she wanted to just disappear. “I wish Hope was here, I wish that the war had never happened, or Cuis or any of it! I just want life o to go back to normal, If I could just go to Hope, make him see me more, or quit that dammed Academy that keeps him away from me! But it’s never going to happen, he won’t leave, he wants to help the world, help make the future better between Gran Pulse and Cocoon, though all he’s going to achieve is someone planning to assassinate him or something!” Serah continued crying, she wanted the silver haired boy back so badly, she missed him more than she had at first realised she did. The letter from Mognet was the breaking point. “I hate it, I hate all of it!” [/size][/center]

Noel wasn't sure who to comfort first...Serah or Jasmine. He considered his options and decided it best to talk to Serah first. Jasmine was muttering to herself and to her Fal'Cie necklace, and was distracting herself sufficiently that she wouldn't try to kill herself again.
"Um...Serah?" Noel began, uncertainly. "You...you REALLY miss Hope, don't you?" He knew the answer already. He took a step closer but kept a respectful distance from Serah.
"Come on, show some optimism! You'll see Hope again and that, Serah, is a GUARANTEE!" Noel went on, smiling. "But for now, just remember...you've got friends here, too!" Jasmine looked up at this point, and nodded slightly. After a moment or two of awkward silence, Jasmine coughed and spoke again.
"Um...can I ask a question?" she asked, quietly and nervously.
"Sure, Jasmine." Noel said. "What is it?" Jasmine thought for a moment.
"What is NOVA?" Jasmine asked, hesitantly. "I heard of it before but I don't know what it is..." Noel hesitated and did not answer for a second or two. [/size][/center]

Serah stopped crying as best she could and pushed herself off the ground. “T-thanks Noel” she smiled at him, “Do you really t-think that I will see Hope again?” she placed her hand in her bag and wrapped her hand around the letter that was inside of it. “NORA is a group of justice fighters that is run by a horrible man called Snow Villers, I used to be part of it, yes, we fought for justice, but under Snow’s control many people lost their lives, Hope’s mother Nora Esthiem, she and Hope were visiting the fireworks display in Bodhum and the Purge, they attacked the people, Hope and Nora, Hope’s mother I mean, they were trying to get away, but NORA, the group, they managed to convince them to join the fight, Nora fell to her death, and Hope was left without her. Snow and NORA ruined his life, and that is why I hate them both!” Serah felt the bile rise to her mouth at the mention of it. [/size][/center]

Noel sighed, glad to see that things were finally settling down. Jasmine wasn't going to kill herself, and Serah was apparently happy again.
"Yeah, Serah, I'm sure you'll see Hope again." Noel said. He turned to Jasmine. "And you've heard of NORA before?" Jasmine nodded.
"Can't remember where, though..." she muttered. Noel remembered something.
"Hang on...you know, when you told us that you came up to Cocoon from Gran Pulse, Jasmine?" he began. Jasmine looked at him, half curiously, half nervously.
"Y...yes?" Jasmine hummed.
"Have...have you ever met PSICOM?" Noel eventually asked. Jasmine shuddered.
"Yes...they beat me up pretty bad but I got away." she told him. "I was in the first form you saw me take...the flying feine monster thingy...they tried to capture me, but I got away...they broke one of my wings, shattered a few of my ribs and when I got away I nearly died. But I survived, obviously." Noel nearly jumped.
"You actually got AWAY from PSICOM?" he shrieked. Jasmine yelped and cowered away as if expecting pain; that seemed to be her reaction for whenever she was surprised. But Noel was amazed...it would have taken a very strong person to escape PSICOM's clutches, even if they did have broken bones...

Even Serah was impressed by the act that the seemingly weak girl performed, “You got away from PSICOM? Gods you must be something else huh?” Serah shook her head as if she still didn’t quite believe what she had just heard, everyone that she knew that had been captured by PSICOM had never come out again, that was alive, some not even that. “What should we do now Noel?” Serah asked, she wasn’t sure of where to go and what to do, she wanted to visit Hope, but this wasn’t the time or situation to consider it. They needed to figure out what to do with Jasmine and her necklace. “We might need to use the Crux” Serah stated, they couldn’t stay in the Waterscape, there was nothing left for them there. It was time to move either onwards or backwards. “Where should we take her and what era?” Serah asked, “Hey I know! What about going to Academia? Maybe about 100 AF? Sound like a plan?” Serah laughed, it was time to travel through the mystical Historia Crux again, she couldn’t wait to see Jasmine’s reaction, and Noel was the only human alive who had the power to travel through the Time Gates and the Crux, so there was no chance that Jasmine could have seen one before. The adventure was beginning. {THREAD END} [/size][/center]
