"I can't believe she snuck off like that," Celes declared, a little annoyed at Relm's actions. "When did she do it? How?"
"She must have left when we hit the crossings under the castle, that little scamp." Sabin said punching his fist into his palm.
"No need to let her slow us down, I say we leave without her." Setzer said callously.
"Setzer, show some heart" Celes ordered.
"And you know what else?" They gave the gambler a questioning look. "Shadow is missing, too."
"Fantastic! Why don't we just lose our whole party!" Sabin said leaving the room in a huff.
"Why's he so angry?" Setzer asked Celes who had turned and looked out a window.
"How should I know, inner frustrations I guess... we really should go. It's getting dark outside, and that isn't good for anyone."
"You're right there." He shouted in the room to him the prince stormed off to. "Sabin, we're going!"
Sabin still wanted to brood over their loss, but re-joined them exiting the castle, not much choice in the matter since they must investigate. After leaving the castle they head for the woods near Kohlingen.
...
"I have to make it home? Now which ship was it again?" Relm asked herself out loud as she walked through the town's cave that leads to South Figaro. She lit her way with a torch that she'd taken from the wall. "I wish I weren't alone in this, but sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do." She heard a rustle behind her and gasped.
"But she still has to keep a buddy for safety, aaahhh!" She ran through the cave and right into a battle.
A grease monk threw a wrench at her and she was hit. Yelping from the pain, she took out one of her old rainbow paint brushes and made a sketch of him tossing the wrench right back and killing the weakling. It was almost a blessing the monsters were so weak with trying to revert back into normal animals and people.
"I did it! I did it!" She jumped and cheered like she were dancing. "Swoo, calm down, Relm. You'll be all right by yourself." She walked along trying to avoid more battles, she'd like to get to her Grandfather in one piece, but she had this weird feeling that someone was following her.
When she made it out of the caverns, there was just a short run through the field to the South and she would take the next boat back to Nikeah than to Thamasa. 'I hope I have enough money.'
Rhodaux! He used a scratch attack on her and she blocked it with her shield. She made a quick sketch of it and sent the scratch back but it wasn't enough! She tried again to use something different but she had no control over it and used scratch again. She realized that it might be too strong for her grabbed her things and ran.
When she got to the town she went straight to the docks, paid the man, and took the boat to Nikeah. 'Don't worry gramps I won't let the excitement pass you by, and I won't let you worry about me from some letter about a war that might start up if we can't stop it. I hope we can stop it...' she bundled herself up and went to sleep.
That night. The group had made their way through every inch of the forest, and there was no sign of soldiers or secret bases. Near Kohlingen anyway, there is still the area around Jidoor.
"Dammit! You think by now we would have seen something, other than your typical confused animals gone bad." Sabin, obviously bored said leaning his back against a mountain side.
"You're right," Setzer agreed only subtler.
"Maybe they haven't made it this far yet?" Celes tried to think of a logical explanation.
"We should have seen something by now." Setzer leaned against the wall just then same only... "Whoa! Oof!" He slammed face first into the ground.
"Setzer!" Sabin and Celes gasped.
"Owww" He groaned getting up dusting himself off. "What the devil..." His words pause as he sees what his fall left revealed. "Guys have a look at this!"
They pushed their hands against the wall feeling for an entrance.
"Where are you?" Celes asked just as she was being grabbed by his hand, she pulled Sabin along with her. When they were inside, they couldn't believe their eyes.
"Look at all this gold!" Sabin cried.
"Where did it all come from?" Celes wondered out loud.
There was a tiny little, what seems to be, a workshop set up in the mountain.
"All these maps..." Setzer picked one up wide-eyed. "Look at this..." He showed them a map with red markings on them. "These must mark every base on the continent. They might already be out there full-filling their missions."
"You think so?" Celes asked looking over his shoulder. Setzer shrugged at his theory and stuck the map in the back of his pants.
"Llllet's, get out of here, okay? I feel a bit un-easy." The ex-general rubbed the draft from her arms.
They walked through the entrance and out into the sunlight to an ambush..
"Having fun?" Asked a hidden voice.
They wasted no time in the attack, they couldn't let the map get taken. Celes fought bravely with her Regalcutglass. Setzer used his slot to his advantage, taking out three of the soldiers with his mega flare. Sabin used his training grabbing a soldier slamming him to the ground with a suplex. Men were jumping off the mountain side, pulling out swords ready to attack.
"Stand back!" Sabin shouted raising his arms for an attack. A strong wind picked up around them, slicing the remaining men in half like one would mow down a blade of grass such is the power of the Airblade attack.
"There's no mistaking it, we have to show the others the maps." Sabin said in his exhaled breath.
"Yeah." They agreed following him.

The group walked through the Phantom forest in silence. The train was no longer there so they had to make their way to Barren Falls by following the tracks.
"I can't believe that Gau would wonder off like that," Terra said picking a leaf from her hair and dropping it to the ground.
"I'm certain sir Gau is fine, lady Terra." Cyan tried to comfort her. "He may have been scared and run back to the castle."
"He's right, Gau is fine," Locke reassures. He reached to put his arm around her, hard to do when her Chocobo is walking faster than his own.
"I wonder how the others are doing, if they've found anything?" Edgar is up ahead of the group. "It's getting pretty dark."
Cyan walked up ahead to catch up with Edgar. "Perhaps we should set up camp?" He questioned.
"Not right here. We should make our way to the Veldt first, then we sleep."
Hearing their conversation Terra sped up with Locke doing the same. They traveled as fast as they could be carried until they hit Barren Falls.
"You know the drill." Locke said dismounting his bird then jumping off the cliff side with Terra following.
"I guess no one told them that they have a walking path to the bottom now." Cyan grabbed the reign of Terra's ride; Edgar grabbed a hold of Locke's abandoned bird. "Shall we, your majesty? Cyan asked.
"By all means, after you." Said the king.
They walked down the path to the Veldt.
"What took you guys so long?" Locke said panting and wiping wet hair from his forehead.
"We took the path." Edgar said with a sly smile.
"Are we going to stay in town?" Terra asked.
"I'm afraid not. It's too risky. We better camp out in a cave somewhere around here."
They walked over to the mountain that lined the water's edge and looked for a cave to camp out in.
"Found one!" Locke announced and they walked inside setting up their sleeping bags.
"Good night, everyone." Edgar said to them.
"Good night." They replied and went to sleep.
As everyone drifted off to sleep, Edgar remained awake staring into the dim light coming from the cave entrance.
'Can I be so responsible?' He thought 'Can I be that much stronger in that situation again? Ha! Me? ...A leader... A king... A friend... A person. My young life taken, all by the flip of a coin for a place in life that I thought I wanted.' He downcast his vision. 'And look at Terra; she shows so much maturity for her age, coming along with us when she could have given up and stayed in the woods to look for Gau. She could have remained in the village with the children. A normal civilian from all the brutality of war.'
He began to remember that night his father had died, when he and his twin brother had to decide who took the thrown; Sabin had rebeled aching to keep his youth while he had been eager to be an adult... to be like his father. A beloved ruler of the land, but he also wanted to keep himself normal, to be a good friend, instead of becoming power hungry like other rulers of the lands.
'I have done that... but to what extent? What if I had been the one who'd left? ...Would I be feeling this fear of failure to protect when needed every time? No, I'd be right along with the rest of them battling fiercely for the best outcome- trusting my abilities rather than the thought of my duties to serve as leader...could I?' He rolled over on his back with his arms behind his head to stare quietly into darkness.
"What's that noise?" He asked himself.
It sounds like music? But where is it coming from? Edgar got up from his sleeping bag and walked to the mouth of the cave.
'It is music!'
King Figaro looked around the best he could and felt for Locke's bag. Once found, he dumped the contents out and searched for something.
"I hope he kept them," He whispered out loud. "ah, here they are." He smiled at the fist full of clothes that belonged to the soldier Locke had taken them from.
He went outside and slid them on. When he was done he tried to look into the river for his reflection by the moonlight. Nothing but a shadow. They fit well on him, which is why they were so loose on Locke.
"Guess this is as good a time as any to trust those abilities." He marched across the field to where the sound was coming from.
There was a shack by the hills, surrounded by dirt walls. What are they doing in there? He wondered to himself as he peered over the clumps of earth. Edgar moved closer to the window and looked in. The soldiers are having some kind of party. The place is no hideout, but a pub. There is music, women dancing, what was going on? A group of soldiers were heading to the entrance; Edgar used this chance to slip in un-noticed.
"Yeah, did you see the look on those fool's faces when we pounced on them?!"
The soldier laughed loudly. "Oh, p-p-pleeease don't hurt us! Ha ha haa!" The men laughed harder.
Edgar walked over to the bar and sat down trying to be casual, the bartender gave him a long stare, but asked his order anyway.
"What'll it be?" He wiped out a mug and turned around.
"Um..." The king cleared his throat trying to make it sound deeper. "Any type of rum would be nice." The man mumbled something Edgar didn't hear as he surveyed the place with his eyes, twisting himself on the stool seat. 'Filth...' He thought and as he skimmed the room.
He came across a dart board with a picture of him on it, darts sticking out all over his portrait. Rather annoyed by this, he turns away looking around the other side of the room.
"What's next on the list?" One of them asked.
He turned back around the right way hearing his mug slam down on the counter.
"That filthy town, Mobliz. Might as well start close if we're gonna take over this place."
He continued listening in on the conversation. "To the Empire." He said false-heartedly raising his mug and taking a drink.
"Saaay," The bartender began to say. "You new around here?"
"Why no, I.. Oof!" A soldier smashed a chair against his back pushing his stomach into the barcounter.
Edgar groaned in pain trying to stand up and fight, but as he pulled out his sword he suddenly felt dizzy. "Ohhh, what's... happening? Am I drunk?" He held his head hearing the soldiers laughter fly about.
"How'd you like your drink your majesty?" Sneered the bartender.
"Get him!" One of the men cried.
Edgar swung around blindly but missed every time. The soldiers were getting live with excitement from the thought of fresh Returner blood. They pushed him around the room and as he was shoved to one of the men, he was kicked in the stomach and dropping to his knees he was bashed again over the back, thinking it were over he shook the sick feeling standing up in battle stance.
"You can't count me out just yet." Edgar said bravely. He wouldn't go, not without a fight! Not now. Not ever!
The king whipped out his newest weapon that had just been made, an auto-crossbow with flame arrows, his aim was a little shaky but he fired. The bow shot out a splash of kerosene and the flame caught on ignition paper lighting up the moistened arrows.
"Look out!" Soldiers leaped out of the way and some of them blocked his fires.
"Aaahhhhh!" One of them cried, dropping to the floor trying to put himself out.
The drug was too strong for him causing him to stumble backwards and fall against the wall.
"He's ours!" A Templer guard said, but, when they advanced on him.
Flash! A huge white light lit up the entire place. There was a loud buzzing sound overhead and Edgar shielded his eyes to see what it was along with the soldiers.
A Bum Rush! With another flash the room was in a battle! "AAHH!" Soldiers shouted. "Neveeerrrr!" One of them cried out. Locke broke a chair over a man's head then smashed his face into a table.
"Ooooo!" Cyan jumped into the air using his Schimitar.
Celes was kicked in the back but spun around and returned the gesture in the stomach, the soldier rolled over a table and she stabbed him with a Illumina.
Sabin punched a soldier into the corner of the wall and gave him a full faced pummel attack.
Terra ran over to Edgar lying delirious in a corner. "Are you OK?"
"Just a little bruised," he said getting a helping hand to stand up. "I think-" he stammered out. "I heard them talking, boasting about it. I think they're gonna torch Mobliz."
"What?!" She couldn't believe her ears!
"Come on, Terra!" Locke's voice shouted. "We gotta go!"
She couldn't hear him she was blinded by anger.
Sabin slipped his arms around his brother, "I got him," he started for the door as the bright light faded away, but, she wasn't listening. "Terr' what are you doing?" Sabin asked watching her.
A heat began to grow around the Esper girl's body as she spread her arms walking to the center of the room pulling heat in, she then brought her hands together like a prayer and she began her command... "Phoenex Fire!"
The others ran for the door as the place went up in a blaze.
