In Thamasa.
Relm wakes up and sees Gau sitting across from her, it caused a gasp and she jumped from the unexpected visitor; he smiled at her.
"Gau come back, he know friend Relm going through tough time. Gau have many of those, too."
She can tell he was really trying to talk to her normally; she kept his company and responded with a smile of sympathy.
"I'm sorry, but, I'm glad you came back, Gau... I was getting kinda lonely, watching grandpa all by myself..." Her words trailed off as she looked across the room.
"What wrong friend Re-... Aaaahh!"
Three grim, ghastly figures floated across the room pointing to the both of them and the old man.
"Wha-... What are they?" Gau wondered.
"We've come for your souls" One of them said evilly, "first him, then youuuu"
The voice rang through her ears like death; she took out her paint brush and a mithril rod. "Over my living body!" She shouted.
Gau jumped up too, getting in battle stance ready to defend Relm to the end.
"There's nothing your tricks can do. You will die, just like your friends."
Her eyes welled up with tears as she thought of them already dead. "Nooooo!" She ran at them swinging as hard as she could, but, it was impossible to hit them with her wand, Relm tried to paint their pictures, but, they came up blank.
"Gau will stop them," He used one of his rages from the Rhinotaur, the mimic came out after a leap, but the bolt wouldn't work.
"Prepare for your doooom!" The haunting voice called to them. "Nowhere to run." It said.
"Nowhere to hide." Another one.
"Blood. Bloood!"
Relm and Gau held each other screaming, but a breeze flew by and one of the ghost cried out in a horrible pain. As it vanished in a puff of smoke they looked through the dusty remains of it to see... "Shadow!?" They cried out to him.
"You want a fight, fight with me." The ninja said looking at them from the side of his eye standing visible in the light. They look unharmed, so far. The phantoms turned their attention towards him and he was ready for battle. Shadow took out a long Holy sword and ran into the fight.
The phantoms rushed at him! Ghostly fingers pointed and sharp-tipped reached for him, as they swarmed over Shadow's head moaning. One of the ghastlies made pay-dirt when he swung at another slicing it in half. The sharp nails dug in on the grab of his arm.
"Ah!" Voiced the ninja; t burned terribly, but that wasn't his yell of pain.
Relm came rushing at the ghost, fit to kill! But it went invisible so the attacks weren't even touching it.
"Nice try little one," it laughed in it's throat, "however, a futile attempt. Try to beat this."
A phantom chill blew about in the room; it creates more of them flying around the room. The ghost had to return to it's visible form and it picked up Shadow, hovering him over their heads. Using this chance to touch the ghost he flipped his legs up over its head before it could become untouchable again and slammed it down on the floor.
"Relm, use your heal rod!" Shadow shouted.
She screamed covering her head from the shower of swipes aimed down at her. Running over to a chest where she kept her things, it took her longer to open the chest she located the rod that quickly. "I got it!" Raising it over her head she started into the fight.
Shadow slashed the ghost into time and space with iron senbon while Relm used her rod to blow them up.
Gau stood back watching then it hit him! "Gau help too!"
A flash went up through the room the ghost screamed in pain of the light and disappeared for a brief moment, they still had energy even from a flash that strong. Relm wasn't expecting it and was blinded a second, she swung wildly to protect herself in the moment she couldn't see and her vision returned and she joined the fight again.
Shadow flipped through the air cutting a barrage of attacks at the ghost, they disappeared but again more came. Gau kept using his flash on them doing some stronger damage with each time he performed it.
'Something isn't right.' Shadow thought while fighting another of the ghost that flew up to him. 'There must be a reason they keep coming back?' He swung his sword skillfully as he cut through the crowd going into a back room. The door slammed shut behind him. 'What the-?!'
There was a huge spirit sitting in the middle of the room, it was floating there, pale and blue, with it's eyes closed. Shadow walked up to it none to cautiously and went in for the attack. The ghost opened it's red eyes and faded out missing the swords blade. Smoke swirled in the room taking them into another dimension.
In the other room the ghost are endless when Relm noticed. "Shadow's gone!" The little artist said, scared
"Relm? Grandpa leave!" Gau pointed at the door where Strago was heading out of.
"Grandpa wai-...! Ahhhh!" The ghost picked her up. "Gau help!" He said, ready to use his flash again. "No, help my grandpa!"
Gau ran over to the old man but Strago turned and bashed him against the wall with an energy blast and continued out the door.
"No!" she struggled to get free.
He walked straight to a ghost idling in a corner; it smiled evilly pooling itself into the old man's mouth and he dropped lifelessly to the floor once it was completely consumed.
"No! Grandpa!" In the next room. The ghost had rammed into Shadow so hard he heard a crack! He kept on fighting though, as fast and hard as he could.
His efforts were useless, the entity is going to kill him! Shadow sat in the middle of the room with his legs crossed as though he were going to wait for his death in meditation, but when the ghost flew at him he threw down a smoke bomb that burst into five little balls of light. The room now blinding in light and smoke was easier to see in, Shadow saw the Demon struggling with his shape and form, he shifted in and out of the afterlife so he took his chance.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" A ghastly cry went out as an arm writhed on the floor. "Ohhhhhh!" He screamed again losing another one, the light had begun to fade so Shadow moved in for the kill.
"Yyyyyyyaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!" The sword went though the ghost's forehead killing it in a bloody mess. Blood? Was it dead or alive. Shadow leaned over the dying pile of rags and half human flesh. "You can't kill someone whose already dead." He whispered. The ghost had vanished and he joined the others. The room was empty they had faded with the head ghost. 'Just images.' The ninja thought and heard a faint sound of crying in the corner of the room and went to it.
"Why did he have to die Shadow?" Relm said holding the man on her lap crying into his clothes.
Shadow looked down at her but said nothing.
Gau recovered from the blast and crawled over to her. "Relm? Gau is-..."
Shadow put his hand up to silence him. "Leave her alone."
And they do.

"All my friends..." Terra was saying as she talked in her sleep. Kefka had vanished into the night leaving her asleep, dreaming. "N-nooo, don't let them die," tears fell from her eyes. "They're not strong enough..."

In the field with Locke, he's standing his ground although he's covering his head. "I'm not afraid of you!" He shouted hearing a loud sound rush upon him, then he heard a familiar voice. "I'm not afraid of you either." Locke was lifted into the air and dropped down on a solid floor.
"What hap-.." He opened his eyes seeing Setzer lend a hand to help him up. "What happened, where are the ghost soldiers?" The thief asked him standing up.
"I believe they disappeared. I didn't see anything but you standing in a field with your head covered." Setzer looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Ah ha ha." Locke replied. "Where are the others, do you know?"
Setzer shook his head taking the wheel. "But we can go look for them, hang on we're going up." Locke followed him to the upper deck, grabbing the rail and the nose of the ship went into the air.

"Can anyone see where we're going?" Celes asked.
"No. However, I don't see the ghost anymore." Edgar responded, they slipped around a corner feeling their ways along side the wall.
"It's official," Sabin was saying.
"What?" They asked.
"I hate caves, they're dark, dirty, and there's always some awful distant dripping sound.."
"Ssssshhhhh!" Edgar silenced him and held out a hand to keep him that way. "Do you hear that?" He asked them.
The two listened closely for what he had heard but there was nothing. Wait! There came a clear sound of a voice.
"Yeah, what is that? You think the Empire has a base here, too?" Sabin asked.
Edgar nodded and motioned for them to follow him around the corner. When they rounded the curve in the wall, there was a shift in gravity.
"Did you guys feel that?" Celes asked, but then she looked around and noticed she wasn't in the cave anymore.
"How did I get in the Opera house?" She asked herself out loud.
"Time for you to go on my dear!" Ompresario called to her in the distance.
"Wait, how did I get here? Ompresario, come back!" She called to him, but he didn't hear her. 'Oh no.' She thought, 'Where is everyone?'
She turned back to the mirror staring at her reflection, she was dressed to perform in something that was for sure. Her hair curled in long sausage links, filled with ribbon and gold pins.
'Maybe we've gone back in time?' She thought just as the door opened and someone walked in.
"Come on Celes, the show must go on." A quiet voice spoke. "Don't forget your lines." It was Locke!
"Locke, something weird is going on, we have to find our way back to the right time period." She exclaimed to him.
"What are you talking about, we have to wait for Setzer to come and get you, remember? Don't be ridiculous, now let's go." The thief turned and left.
"Wait!" She called out to him, running to the door to chase after him, but, he was already gone. "Oh, Locke," She put her head down sadly thinking she lost him.
But, then he called down the hall to her. "Celes, did you forget which way!? Come on!" Locke turned again and left.
Celes turned and ran to him. "Locke wait!"
But he wouldn't, he was gone. She slowed her pace and walked behind the curtains. Music started up and she stepped onto the balcony. 'How did I get here?' She wondered. 'Maybe, none of that stuff ever happened; I've been knocked out, unaware that I was dreaming.' She tried very hard to make sense of things then the words came out of her mouth.
Oh my hero,
So far away now,
will I ever see your smile?
love goes away, like night into day
it's just a fading dream...
She walked to the balcony holding a bunch of flowers in her hands.
'This has to be a dream...' She thought and then turned around to wait for Draco, but, when the door opened she wasn't faced with an actor.
There was a low growl in his throat, Draco is a monster!
Her flowers turned into a sword and Count Draco took his from it's sheath. They began to sword fight and the others were standing around, watching, and cheering him on.
"Woo!" Locke said clapping.
"Stab her good!" Edgar shouted.
Sabin and the others whistled for him.
"Stop this...! You guys, help me!" Celes pleads.
But no one helped her and Draco was fighting like a madman! She fought back the best she could, but, failed. Her sword went flying from her hands and smashed against a wall. Draco swung at her, backing her up to the edge of the castle top. Celes's back was leaning over the railing of the balcony and she was trying scoot to the side, but, Draco slammed the sword down at her sides every time she moved in a direction and finally he was going for the middle prize.
The others began to lust for her blood. "Knock her off! Knock her off!"
Tears ran down her face. "What are you guys saying?" Celes asked.
"We're saying we're sick of you, and you're wannabe ways" Edgar said.
"Yeah," Sabin followed in. "All you do is run around complaining; time for the end." He laughed deeply.
"I never liked you" Locke said. "You were just a tag-along!"
'Noooo,' She thought looking at her friends pointing fingers at her. 'That can't be true, I know you guys don't feel this way! I know you Locke, you're the one that saved me.' She had a brief flash of the first time they had ever met; when she was locked away in the prison under a house. 'He came to me, when he didn't even know me... he wouldn't say these things.'
"Oh, but I am." Locke said with an evil sneer taking the sword from Draco. "And now I'm gonna show you what your friendship really means to me." The actor raised the sword and dropped it down over her head.
Instead of waiting to get hit... she jumped. "Aaaaahhhhh!"
They all threw their heads back with laughter.
"Aaaahhhh!" She hit the ground.
In the cave, in the real world.
"Celes?" They looked down at her lying there.
"What happened to her?" Sabin asked.
"I don't know," Edgar knelt down and shook her. "Celes wake up!"
"Wake up, Celes!" Sabin joined in, but she wouldn't move. "Edgar..." Sabin's voice was serious. "She doesn't have a pulse..."
"No... no, come on Cel' get up!" He looked at her with shock. Is she really dead? "We have to get her to some help, give me a hand." He began to lift her with no assistance. "Sabin?" He asked. He couldn't hear him he was shifting between time.
In Miranda.
"Celes.." Terra was saying. "No, you can't be dead. Wake up... No. Not Sabin too... Someone help him."

"How did I get at home?" Sabin asked looking around. He walked around the halls of the first floor until he heard the sound of voices above him. "That must be where everyone is."
He walked upstairs and was pushed aside by men rushing in and out of the king's room.
"Oh no, Edgar!"
He ran to his room to see what had happened to his brother, but, when he got there...
"What is this-?" He asked walking into the room seeing his father lying on the bed in pain.
"Sabin, thank Goddess you're here." Edgar said turning to see his brother by the door. "I think father has lived his last day." He said sadly.
"What are you talking about? That's not our father, he's already..." Sabin caught his words seeing Edgar's angry expression. "I'm sorry, what- what do you want me to do?" He asked.
"Come with me." Edgar walked up to the roof, Sabin took one last look at the man in the bed.
'It just can't be? I must have been in a fight and got knocked out- yeah, that must be it.'
He turned away to join his brother on the roof for a conversation he knew was coming.
"You wanted to see me?" The blitz specialist said humouredly
"Yes." Edgar was tight and serious.
"What about?" He took a guess. "Who gets to be king and who has to run away and be banished for life, because if so- I take the banishment..."
"What are you talking about? Could you for once in your life be serious?!" Edgar shouted angrily.
"Geez. What's your problem?" Sabin asked backing off of him. "You'd think this was a life or death, situation or something." Edgar turned to him with a sad expression.
"It is." Edgar said.
"What are you talking about?" Sabin asked crossing his arms in defense. "There has been a new rule passed, once the king goes; if he has two or more sons, then the one whose more trustworthy lives, while the others die..." Edgar said turning away again.
"What kind of ridiculous rule is that?" Sabin asked him. "Why would anyone agree to it?!" He demanded to know.
Edgar looked up at the stars with his heart full of sadness from what he knew was coming.
"Brother, this rule was passed by our father; he didn't want us to tear each other apart for the throne." Edgar replied.
"But that's just it. There is no need to kill me- I don't want the throne. I'll gladly leave." Sabin said walking up to Edgar, putting his hand on his shoulder.
"I know you do." He said.
"No, you're not listening, I don't want it!" He nearly shouted into his ear but Edgar wasn't listening to him. A group of the Empire's soldiers came out onto the roof standing behind them.
"What are they doing here?" Sabin said bewildered getting into battle stance.
"No need to fight them brother, they're the executioners. Once I give the flip of this coin, you will die." an evil sneer than spread across hi lips. "Long," Edgar took out the coin.
"No." Sabin protested.
"Live," he got ready to flip it into the air.
"Don't do it!" Sabin shouted.
"This king." He flipped the coin into the air.
"Noooooo!" He tried to stop it but the soldiers had already opened fire. Killing him.
In the cave. In the real world.
Sabin looked as though he were going to throw up at any second. Edgar turned around and barely saw him through the dim light.
"Sabin? What's wrong? Say something!" He crawled over to him and shook him as well. "No, you can't be hurt, too!" Tipping over him, he listens to his heart beat, it was fading fast. "Hang in there, I'll get you guys out of here." He looked around for something to help him get them all out. "Some how?" He finished his thoughts.
