Ciel, Parting With The Chocobo Episode 11

"Demonic flowers, blooming in a mansion. Malice and memories that have been brought forth. Please don't forget! A pure white heart that chases you, even in dreams. It's feelings will surely reach the sky. Soaring over the light of destruction, it will fly to the faraway sky."

We open with the subway, and a long climb up the winding stairs that leads our heroes into great open plains. At first they seem deserted, until Chobi seems interested in something, they all look to the horizon, and with a round of 'kwehs' a herd/flock of chocobos runs towards them. Ai is not pleased.

As they watch, however, they see a familiar mushroom monster chasing the herd. Lisa tells the Twins to run as the herd flies past them, and whips out some kigenjutsu on the monster. It falls, and as they prepare to run('cause Lisa can't actually kill anything, no) the chocobos move in for the kill. Amidst a cloud of dust raised by kicking, the birds peck the monster to death. After the shock wears off that a flock of birds is more effective than them, Ai congratulates Chobi, who attacks her hair in glee. Then, who should appear but the younger sister of our annoying friend Chocobaba; Chocoimo.

She thinks Chobi's pretty handsome, and ends all her sentences with "...or something like that." They all hang out

through the day, with Chobi making friends with the other birdies(especially a little red one), and the chocobos taking turns throwing Ai around by her hair. Yu is making friends with most of the flock as well, and Lisa is asking Chocoimo about the kids parents, and some other bits of information they need to know. Apparently, Chocoimo doesn't know a lot. She does know that there are lots of monsters running around in the Inner World causing her and everyone else problems(and we really needed her to tell us that one. Thanks, Choco-Granny, thanks).

As Lisa decides its time to go, Chocoimo mentions Omega(she does know something after all), but then she runs off before telling them anything else. Lisa and the Twins try to talk about Omega, but Chocoimo reappears behind them, lamenting the loss of Ciel, a legendary chocobo. At that moment, Chobi tells Yu the subway is leaving. As the two groups go their separate ways, Chobi hesitates. He wants to follow the herd and that little red chocobo. Yu, being the kind hearted little boy he is, tells Chobi to go.

On a depressing subway ride later, they find themselves above ground, and wonder where the top half of the tunnel has gone to. As they stand at the station, a piece of Omega appears, and they realize it has been destroying even the landscape around it. As it approaches, Lisa grabs the kids and dragoon jumps to what's left of a cliff side, narrowly avoiding death. The subway plummets into the earth. Omega renews its attack, and the heroes are thrown apart. Yu lands away from Lisa and Ai, not looking too good. Above them, they see Kaze, and Ai pleads with him to save Yu. He doesn't even seem to be listening, rather, he stares at his Demon Gun.

Far away, at the Ciel Chocobo ruins, Chobi seems to sense Yu is in trouble. Chobi, being himself, waltzes up to the ruin and puts his foot on it. A blinding light appears, and the scene switches back to the Twins. As Omega attacks, something shoots down and lifts Yu out of harms way. It's Chobi, all powered up nicely. Apparently, all being the Ciel chocobo does is allow him to fly though. So they look to Kaze once again for help, and he's willing to give it this time. Chobi grabs the group and flies to safety, as Kaze's rescues often take out plenty of the surrounding landscape.

The Demon Gun moves, and the awesome power of Titan is pitted against Omega. As they fight, the subway reappears, and Chobi takes the heroes to it, leaving Kaze with his summon and a big explosion. On the subway, Ai makes fun of Chobi's inability to fly until now, gets chomped, and Yu and Lisa discuss Kaze's habits of living through anything. Chobi has decided that they get into so much trouble, he can't leave them quite yet, and Yu is happy again.
