The Beginning

--------------

A young girl is woken up from a nightmare, wiping away her tears we

Can see from her clothes that she seems to be no ordinary girl but…

(Everybody knows who she is!)

The camera switches and a boy of 16 climbs down a set of ladders and

Enters a room.

Boy: 'hmmm… its really dark in here… where are the others?

He lights the candle in the middle of the room and suddenly a voice

Shouts, 'Who's there?'

Boy: 'It's me Zidane.'

Three characters enter from another room.

Blank: 'Hey Zidane, you're late!'

Zidane: 'I'm sorry, didn't mean to. Where's the boss?'

Cina: 'He's not here yet.'

A man with a mask suddenly appears and initiates a fight! Once the

Fight is over the mask splits and Baku (the guy with the mask) says,

'You have all improved by a lot! Hahahahahahah! Good! We've got a

Meeting so let's start now.'

Zidane and the others follow him into the other room.

Baku: 'Firstly let me tell you guys what our target is. We are

Going to Alexander Town and our aim is to kidnap Princess Garnet!'

Cina: 'Let me tell you guys our plan. Our ship will reach Alexander

Town very soon. After we have arrived we will act in a play, which

is a favorite of all the townspeople. This play will act as our

decoy and it is called "I Want to be your canary" I hope

everybody will do his or her best and the main character in this play is

Marcus.'

Marcus: 'I'll do my best. But the main supporting actors, the

fighters are Zidane and Blank.

Blank: 'During my appearance I will use these bugs to create

Confusion…to be honest, I'm really scared of these jumping bugs, but

Then…I don't really have a choice so I'll just have to tolerate this…

After that Zidane, you will have to do your part.'

Zidane: 'Yeah, I understand! I'll have to take advantage of the

Situation to find and kidnap Princess Garnet right?'

Baku: 'That's right! The one we have to kidnap is Alexandria's most

Beautiful Princess in Alexandria's history…Princess Garnet

Welcome to Alexander Town

--------------------------

A young black mage falls down and a girl helps him back up to his

Feet. She leaves and the young mage picks up the entrance ticket

That she left behind. The mage walks up to the ticket vendor.

Ticket Vendor: 'This year's play is the famous "I want to be your

Canary" It is performed by the well renowned Tantalus Group.

The play is about two lovers from different backgrounds falling in

Love. Her Majesty, Queen Brahne, rules Alexandria, a prosperous and

Happy country and there has been a rumor that Queen Brahne's

Beautiful daughter, Princess Garnet, has her 16th birthday today!

The young mage gives the vendor his ticket, but the man identifies it

As a fake and instead gives him three cards instead to make him feel

Better. He then proceeds to tell him of a man that will be able to

Teach him how to play cards in the bar. The mage walks off and bumps

Into the mouse boy earlier on in the game when he fell. The mouse

boy tells the mage that if he helps him out then he will promise that

he will be able to see the play. The mage agrees and they go off and

steal a ladder and enter the bell tower.

Mouse boy: 'okay, we'll put the ladder here and you go up it first.'

A moogle flies down and hits the mage and they all come tumbling

down!

Moogle: 'Sorry for scaring you!'

Mouse boy: 'Oh man! It's a moogle!'

After the following scenario both the mage and the mouse boy clamber

over the house roofs to reach the spectator hall just in time to see

the play start.

Baku enters the stage and says:

'Everybody, tonight the story that we shall tell you happened many,

many years ago. Princess Gloria, forced to split up with her lover,

Marcus…had originally tried to escape but was found out and brought

back to the castle by King Lear. Tonight's story starts when Marcus

outraged, tries to solve the problem in a duel against King Lear.

Now, for our audience, Queen Brahne, and Princess Garnet and others,

please prepare yourself for this tragic tale and get a dry tissue

ready for tonight's performance.'

A fight is initiated on stage and after the battle King Lear escapes.

Zidane, quickly gives chase but is immediately stopped by Blank who

says to Zidane that if Princess Gloria does marry a prince from a

neighboring country than it will bring peace to this world and is

therefore a good thing. Zidane vehemently disagrees and results in

both fighting each other. This decoy allows them both to penetrate…

-----------------------

Into Alexandria Castle

-----------------------

Here they run into the guard's room and mug the two guards to steal

their clothes. Zidane and Blank both run up the flight of steps in

the main hallway only to crash into a girl dressed in white robes.

'Ouch...can you let me pass please?'

As Zidane moves away to let her pass through she stops and says:

'Um...is there something on my face?'

Zidane caught red-handed staring replies:

'No, there isn't but I was thinking that you may probably be the girl

I was waiting for...'

'Huh? You said I was the girl you were waiting for?'

'Uh huh! Ever since you were born were you not dreaming of this kind

of meeting...'

'Are you insulting me?'

'No...I didn't mean it like that...'

'Then excuse me!'

'Wait! Have we met before?'

'No...I...'

'Really ...but I can't seem to forget a girl as cute as you...you

must be...'

Blank: 'Hey what the hell are you doing Zidane?'

White robed girl: 'um...um...sorry.'

And with that she ran away.

It was then that Zidane realized that the white robed girl was

Princess Garnet!

Zorn and Thorn appear screaming:

'Oh no, we have a BIG problem!

Zorn: 'It will anger Queen Brahne!'

Zorn and Thorn: 'We must go quickly!'

Both run down as quickly as they can to the Queen's throne and are

stopped by the captain of the guards.

'The Queen says that she will not see anyone. Come back later!'

Beatrix: 'Is it so important?'

Zorn: 'Yes!'

Thorn: 'It is so urgent that it is more than urgent!'

Beatrix: 'Then tell me and I will tell the queen!'

Zorn and Thorn: 'Okay!'

Beatrix: 'Then what is the problem?'

Zorn: 'Princess Garnet...'

Thorn: 'Then this and then that...'

Zorn and Thorn: 'we have a BIG problem!!

Beatrix: 'Alright, wait here.'

Beatrix moves closer to the Queen...

Queen Brahne: 'can you not see that I am watching the play? If there

is something urgent then we shall talk later!

Beatrix: 'Actually, it's about Princess Garnet...'

Queen Brahne: 'Now that you mention it, how come she isn't here to

watch the play?

Beatrix: 'Yes, just now she was seen carrying the prized pendant and

ran away with it. Nobody knows where she is.

Queen Brahne: 'WHAT? THAT GIRL! WHAT DOES SHE THINK SHE'S DOING!

GENERAL BEATRIX!'

Beatrix: 'At your command!'

Queen Brahne: 'and, that man over there… CAPTAIN STEINER!'

Steiner: 'Yes!'

Queen Brahne: 'Bring back Princess Garnet at once!'

Beatrix: 'Roger!'

Steiner: 'Got it!'

After sorting out his troops Steiner quickly climbs up one of the

towers and immediately sees Princess Garnet being chased by Zidane.

She grabs a rope and jumps down towards the airship's tower and runs

through a door. Both Zidane and Steiner follow with Steiner ending

up somewhat unlucky!

As Zidane enters the door, Ruby shouts to him:

'Zidane! Listen to me, she's not worth it!'

Zidane: 'Don't say that, I need to talk to her first!'

Ruby: 'What do you mean by that?!'

Zidane: 'Ruby! Now is not the time!'

Zidane immediately follows Garnet down the stairs and through the

door.

Zidane: 'Heh...you finally give up?'

Zidane thinks to himself: (Although it didn't quite work out as

planned but I still got the job done!)

Garnet: 'Are...are you one of the actors?'

Zidane thinks to himself: (Damn, so she knows who we are-)

Garnet: 'I believe that you already know ... I am...Princess Garnet

Til Alexandros the Seventeenth. I have a favor to ask of you.

Could you kidnap me?'

Zidane: 'WHA- WHAT!? Uh...'

A voice: 'Princess, are you there?'

Garnet: 'Th...There's somebody out there!'

Zidane: 'Looks like they're coming for you? Okay. I'll handle this

from now on.'

Garnet: 'Thanks a lot.'

Zidane: 'Okay, Princess! From now on I'll be your kidnapper!'

Cina: 'Guys! Stop talking dammit! Come on!'

Zidane: 'Princess Garnet, it's alright, that's my friend cina!'

Garnet: 'Re...Really?'

Zidane: 'But then cause he's so ugly it probably would scare you!'

Cina: 'Hey! I work in the kitchen everyday!'

A voice: 'Princess!'

Cina: 'Quick! Follow me!'

Zidane: 'Okay, let's follow him!'

They push away the table and open up a secret door, just as Steiner

and a guard appears. The guard chases after them but gets stuck in

the opening and Steiner leaves angrily trying to find another way in.

What he did not realize was that the guard was actually Blank dressed

as a guard!!

Blank meets up with the others and Steiner soon follows and a battle

ensues. After the battle Steiner cuts through Blank's Armour and all

the jumping bugs are let out! Steiner is too preoccupied to care

about anything else and Zidane and co. exploits this moment to

escape. Above them, on the stage, the play is in its most moving

part when suddenly Garnet, Zidane and Steiner are immediately

transported to the stage because of a switch they had bumped into by

mistake! Faced with an impending crisis, Garnet acts along with the

play, as Steiner and Zidane stand bewildered. When Marcus shouts to

King Lear and thrusts his sword at him for the killing blow, Garnet

steps in between the two and gets slain. Steiner horrified by the

sudden change in events, kneels with grief and laments:

'Oh Princess... Oh no...I will never hear your sweet voice again...'

At this moment VIVI appears with his mouse friend having been chased

by the palace guards. In an act of retaliation VIVI uses his fire

magic but instead of hitting the guards it hits Garnet's white robe!!

She jumps up and takes it off and throws it away. In the sudden

change of events, Baku goes off to start the airship for a quick

getaway and leaves Zidane and co. to deal with Steiner. Meanwhile,

the Queen is getting more and more incensed.

'Humph! That girl! Still think she's still a child, doesn't even

think about the consequences. ZORN, THORN! IS THAT THING READY?'

Thorn: 'Yeah, it's ready now!'

Zorn: 'We'll take care of Garnet in a second.'

Queen Brahne: 'WHO SAID I WANTED TO KILL HER?! I WANT HER ALIVE!!'

A FMV then commences, whereby the struggling airship eventually loses

control and crashes into a forest.
