The next morning they were packing their things and sticking them back into their sacks to leave.
"Where are we heading today, Edgar?" Celes asked.
Edgar looked at her smiling, trying to show off his best features. "Vector." He replied with a regal tone; she raised her eye brows at his behavior but shook it off.
"So soon?" The ex-general asked walking beside him to the ship.
"Well, we have to attack some time; we can't sit around waiting for the Empire to come and get us- or the townspeople." Edgar answered and she nodded and walked onto the flying vessel.
"This should be an interesting trip, sirs." Cyan was saying walking over in a gradual pace, but he doesn't make it on because a bird flew over to him. "What is this now?" He asked himself taking a slip of paper from a ring around a carrier bird's ankle. As he read it to himself his eyes widened. "Oh no!" He shouted out loud.
"What is it?" They asked in a murmur as their attention was called to him.
"Look upon this, sirs." He showed it to Edgar.
Your Highness,
The castle is being invaded.
The forest had been making
some type of sounds in the night.
We went to check it out and got
attacked, we need your help.
Your trusty soldiers.
Their expressions voiced their shock.
"You have to go save them!" Sabin declared; ready to send him off with not a moment's hesitation.
"But how shall I get there in time?" The swordtech specialist asked, he was hurt inside, they could hear every strain in his voice trying to sound normal, but, they didn't know what to do.
"I've got an idea!" Locke said with a finger raised as though asking for permission, they looked to him with question. "Setzer could take him back to Doma and help him, while we keep on the trail. Then, he can come back and join us at Vecter."
They thought about the possibility of his plan working then agreed to what he had suggested.
"Setzer will you do it?" Edgar asked.
"No need to ask me, I'm already there." The gambler saluted responding.
"Guys," Terra was saying staggering forwards. "I don't feel... so well." She collapsed on the ground.
"Terra?!" They cried out; Setzer lifted her head off the ground into his arms while Celes checked her pulse.
"She's still alive, she has a good pulse."
"I wonder what's wrong with her?" Sabin said.
"Sirs, thou art just as worried, but, I really must be going." Cyan said impatiently.
"Oh, yes of course," Setzer handed her to Edgar who picked her up and took her back to the cave. "Let's be off then." They boarded the ship. With one quick wave from Cyan and a concerned glance from the pilot, they were inside and on their way.
"Hey Terra, wake up... Come on?" Celes was saying.
"I laid out her sleeping bag, put her here." Locke said smoothing it out.
They walked her over to the sleeping bag and lay her down.
"I wonder what could be wrong?" Sabin whispered as if she might be offended if she heard him any louder than a whisper.
"Maybe it was the fish we ate?" Celes threw out an explaination.
"Or maybe it was the mushrooms, her's had them on it." Locke said staring at the Esper girl.
"I don't know, but, she can't stay here... it's not safe for her health or her physical status, someone might find her when we're gone." Edgar said standing.
"We're leaving her behind?!" Celes asked bewildered.
"Of course not!" Edgar exclaimed, walking out of the cave looking in each direction.
"Well how will we get her into a town? We can't carry her the whole way." She asked.
"We won't have to," Edgar was saying. "We can rent a Chocobo and ride with her to town, it's easier than on foot and safer too."
"We couldn't just wait for Setzer to come back?" Celes asked hoping he'd change his mind.
"We can't count on that, Celes," Sabin butted-in. "I'm going with Edgar to find some birds, you guys stay here, okay?" He ordered in a non-commanding tone.
"Yeah, sure." Locke said quietly.
"O-..." She stammered out. "O-kay."
They promised to return soon and ran out leaving them, alone.
...
The airship flew high over the skies and came into the landing fields near Doma.
"Look there!" Cyan shouted pointing downward.
They looked into the forest the best they could; there was a battle going on in there along with the fields that led to the castle.
"I'm bringing her down!"
Setzer flew lower to the ground, when the vessel touched grass the pair were already out the door and right into the middle of the battle field, the Blackjack flew a distance and settled on the ground. Setzer reached into his coat pocket and threw cards at some rushing soldiers knocking them injured to the ground.
Cyan, using his swordtech ran through some troops using his quadra slice slashing six men in half.
"Your highness, you've returned!" One of his men shouted when seeing him.
"They've arrived!" A Templer Guard shouted to his troops. "Kill them!"
There was an uproar from both crowds as they charged the two of them, Cyan's men tried to defend them the best they could, but, were unsuccessful.
"Yah!" Cyan yelled slamming into one of the men.
"Ah!" Setzer was jumped by three men, he managed to punch one of them back before he went down.
"Aaaah-Aaaahh!" Another of them staggered backward with a doom dart stuck in his chest and he fell to the ground. Dead.
The other one got into a strangling contest with the gambler and they rolled across the grass looking for upper advantage power. Two of Cyan's men slashed two soldiers into pieces but were attacked by four more in the process.
"Setzer, over there!" Cyan shouted a command to him.
Setzer looked in the direction he pointed and dug his foot into the man on top of him kicking him over his body, when he stood up he tossed five darts at them having direct hit with the soldiers killing them on contact. The gambler kicked one of the soldiers coming at him in the stomach and ducked from another attacking to his left.
Cyan spun his sword around using his stunner attack. The men froze for a brief moment, but, began to move again within seconds, as the battle went on; nearby someone was watching them closely through the cover of the thick wooded area, studying their every move. As the battle came to an end Cyan lifted his sword directly to the sky and brought down upon them a mighty Cleave! He swung his sword downward to the ground then back up to the sky flipping backward vanishing all the men left in the field. Setzer was already running towards the forest and Cyan does the same.
When they got there, Setzer grabbed a branch swinging himself around it kicking a soldier in the dismount, but he got punched in the face from a surprise attack behind him when he turned around. Cyan grabbed a branch snapping it in a soldiers face to give him a slight stun, then he punched him in the jaw. The battle went on fiercely and finally it was over.
They were panting heavily as they looked around the forest for strays, but there were none.
"You fought splendidly, sir." Cyan smiled at him shaking his hand.
"Thank you, you weren't so bad yourself, old man." Setzer glanced over his shoulder at his ship and turned back to Cyan. "Listen, Cyan..." He was cut off by him.
"No need to explain, you go on back to the cave and help out Terra and the others, they may need you... I'll join you later, but for now I believe my place is here, sir."
The gambler patted him on the shoulders and went off to get his ship.

"Locke?" Celes started to ask him.
'Oh no, here it comes.' He thought.
She looked him in the eyes, but he evaded it by looking at Terra, then a pile of rocks nearby.
"I wanted to tell you something for the longest time and... well... I think now would be the perfect time to do it. No interruptions, no distractions..." Celes still paused a moment. "Locke I think that I like you, a lot more than a friend..." She looked at his face then continued. "I thought a lot about this and I wanted to let you know, because when something is just that important you let it out... right?"
The thief didn't say a word, he just looked at the rocks.
"What do you think?" Celes asked waiting for his response, but as he opened his mouth the others returned with the birds and map of the land they were on.
"Ready to go?" Edgar asked.
"Yes." Locke said standing and picking up Terra in the process. He walked by them quietly after that.
Sabin and Edgar shrugged to each other and walked out. Celes sighed deeply and followed.
"How close is the nearest town?" Locke asked.
"Miranda." Edgar nodded in it's general direction. "Up the back roads a few miles from here. We better travel fast so we can get her to a bed and some cleaner water."
They hurried along, not saying much, but stopping every once in a while to check the map, and allow the birds to rest. Once they made it there they dismount, and leave the birds in the stables inside.
"Here's a very large amount of money, see that this girl is taken complete care of, you got it!" Edgar threatened with Sabin's brawn combined with his own to back him, and his brother cracked his knuckles.
"You got it," the innkeeper stammered in terror. "best room in the place. Bring her in room 205, here's the key." He said handing it over.
"Thank you, my good man." Edgar said.
The group walked her into the room and lied her down on the bed to rest.
"You take care of yourself, okay?" Edgar said, rubbing her head with a cool towel.
"We better get back to the mission, cause this has gone on for too long!" Locke said getting angry.
"Whao whao, buddy calm down. What's wrong with you?" Sabin asked.
"I... I don't know, I'm just tired of all this fighting; Terra was right; we need this done and over with so we can get back to the simple things like... sleeping in the field and enjoying being a hopeless flirt, flying around and what have you, not sitting here hoping a friend survives..." Locke tried to pass by them but Edgar pushed him back lightly and shook his head.
"You're far to angry to pay any attention to what you're doing, you're staying here." The king insisted, but Locke tried to fight back verbally with protest and lost.
"Just let me know if you need any help, okay?" Locke said to them as they were leaving.
"We promise, bye Locke." Edgar said.
"Bye." He replied
"Good bye, Locke." Celes said personally.
"See you..." He turned back into the village and went into the inn with Terra.
Night had fallen and try to as he might, Locke couldn't stay awake, so the thief closed his eyes and fell asleep on the chair leaning across to the pillow on the bed. The figure walked into the room and stood over Terra again.
"Now, the games will begin." Her eyes scrunched as he moved in closer.
"No," Her voice tried to yell. "No. All my friends, the ghost... They're gonna die..." Tears fell from her eyes as the figure broke into evil laughter, and it leaned into the lamps dim light. Kefka!
Locke snapped his eyes open to the sound of something breaking. "What the...?" He looked blurry eyed across the room, when he cleared them he saw Terra making her way across the room.
"Wait! Where are you going?!" He got up and followed the Esper girl, but she was moving so fast.
Locke ran down the hall of the inn as fast as his legs would carry him, when he was able to catch up to her he reached for her arm and she froze with a haunting laugh. "Terra...?" He questioned that it might not be her.
The green haired girl, laughed long and hard. Okay, possibly not Terra. The thief didn't know what to do so he ran, but she began to follow him flying through the halls, barely a vision behind his head. Locke ducked into a room and found himself outside in the fields, he let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm safe." He walked out farther into the open to hide himself incase she made it outside too.
It was dark, hardly anything was visible despite the moon shining broughtly down on the land. 'Where am I?' The thief wondered and he heard a noise, a familiar stomping sound. 'It can't be?' He thought to himself.
When Locke turned around to look for where the noise was coming from and what it was but he didn't like what he saw. Doom Phantoms! Locke ran through the field having a flash of deja'vu and hoped that the shack would have been rebuilt, but it wasn't there.
'Shoot!' He thought. '...I can't keep running from them, I'd never last... but what?' He had to think fast, they were rushing down on him, so he stood his ground.
The others were in the middle of a ghost fight themselves. The group of Edgar, Sabin, and Celes were still on their way out of the area when they were attacked. One of them dropped Celes, after lifting her to the sky. "Aaah!" She screamed falling from the sky but Sabin caught her. "Thank you," She said.
"Watch out!" The blitz specialist yelled, though he was still holding her. Sabin swung her around his body attempting to hurt the ghost but the kick went right through it. "This isn't working." He swung her out of his arms in one move and used his aura bolt the ghost was hit but the hole repaired itself and it came back for more.
Edgar was shooting at high speed with his drill but it missed and was hit the mountain side instead, causing an avalanche. "Watch out!" The king shouted. They ran for cover and the ghost faded there forms to avoid the rocks and boulders. "There's too many, fall back!" Edgar shouted.
They took cover inside a cave but the ghost flew around looking for them so the Rturners headed to the back of the cave.
"We should be safe in here..." Sabin said, but little blue lights appeared in the cave's entrance and they kept moving so they wouldn't be seen.
Flying in his airship to return to the others, Setzer looked around him.
'The night came so quickly' He thought. 'What's that light?' Leaving the wheel on auto-pilot, the gambler went to the tip of the ship for a better look. There was a tiny blue light flickering down below. 'Could be someone who needs help,' He thought. 'better go down and have a look.'
Setzer went back to the wheel and steered the ship towards the ground, as he got closer he saw a face appear behind a blue mist.
"What is that?" The gambler thought out loud.
There was a low plea coming from the light. "Help me Setzer..."
'Terra?' He wondered. Remembering what the others had said when they first met, about her weird behavior sometimes; perhaps this was the effect of her magic.
"Help me." She said, and flew into the air.
"Wait!" He called out following her. At one point he turned the lights on but he had to shut them off again because he couldn't see her through the gleam. 'Where is she taking me?'
The glow flew fast and he almost had a hard time keeping up, but he had. Faster and faster they went until. "Hahahahaa." She laughed disappearing.
"Terra... Wha-.!" Setzer pulled up on the wheel, he had nearly smacked into a mountain and as he tightly flew the ship up into the air to avoid it the bottom scraped up against the mountain side, but, it came out of it fine. 'That was weird, I wonder why she would do that? Unless of course it wasn't her, but who could do something like that?'
The gambler wondered as he re-leveled the ship. He saw another field on the other side of the mountain, and... is that... Locke! He's under attack! Setzer flew the ship down and headed towards him.
