This is a fanfiction about FFIX, one of the last great RPGs for PS1. It's a perfect blend of fighting, humour, romance, and thievery. And
swords, those BIG ASS swords. The character models were excellent as well, which is amusing
when you think about the fact that it's the only FF with character models done by a different
director. So here you go;astory about a thief, a wizard, a hot princess, a slightly violent
bounty-hunter and a Burmecian rat-warriormeeting fora party. But ill tidings await...

Garnet walked over to the table and sat down next to Zidane. "Hey, wake up..." She shook him.
He jumped, landed in his chair again, and then smiled at his wife. He relaxed and kissed her on the
cheek. "Today's the day, isn't it?" She said.
Zidane kicked back in his chair, smiling, eyes closed. He had invited Vivi and Amarant to the
party, and Freya as well. You see, today was two years to the day when Zidane and his friends had
defeated Kuja and the ruler of Memoria, Necron. That day had been quite an adventure, as
everyonelearned a lot about themselvesin Memoria. Upon their return to Gaia,
Zidane had decided to go back to save Kuja, who happened to be his brother. After all the things
Kuja had done, he was confused by his brother's selflessness. At that moment, cave they were in
begin to violently shake with the wild actions of the Iifa Tree's roots, and the two were seemingly
goners.
But much time later, Zidane resurfaced, unveiling himself in the middle of a play, "I want to Be Your
Canary".
Proclaiming his love for Alexandria's new ruler, Queen Garnet til Alexandros, Zidane spoke the
words that erased Garnet's doubt that he had returned; "Bring me my Dagger!"
Rushing from her high throne, Garnet embraced her true love, both furious for making her worry,
and tearfully happy he was alive. As the play's crowd watched on, they kissed, and Zidane
became king of Alexandria.
But that's wasn't all...

Oh, Dagger, today's gonna be great, I can feel it!" Zidane said, sitting up and wrapping his tail
around his queen. "Oh, Zidane..." Garnet giggled.
"Uh-uhm..." They both looked up, still kissing. A little mage wearing a big yellow hat and patchy
blue robe was standing in the bedroom doorway.
"The-they told me, to, uh, come here, but if you're... busy-"
"Vivi!" the thief said, dropping Garnet absent-mindedly. He threw his arm around the black mage
and laughed.
"It's been too long! How ya been?"
"Yo." Amarant lumbered into the room and sat down in an armchair by the window, staring out of
it casually.
"Why are you wearing your claws, Amarant?" said Garnet, noticing them as she got up and
brushed off, shooting a look at Zidane for letting go of her.
"Had to protect the little one."
Vivi fidgeted, straightening his hat, and taking out his Mace of Zeus to show he had fought as
well.
"From what? There hasn't been any monsters in Alexandria since The Iifa Tree died." she said
matter-of-factly.
"W-well..." Vivi spoke up. Zidane spun around. "You're not about to tell me they came back are
you?" He was yelling now; none of this added up.
"I...uh..." the mage faltered.
"Yes and no." The crimson-haired hunter cut in, "You see, these weren't... Mist monsters."
"Well, what else could they be?"
"They were crystal-forms."
"What? But...but those only exist in..."
"...The Crystal Core, in Memoria." A low, rough, womanly voice drifted into the room.
Again Zidane spun around. "Freya! How long have you been there-"
"Long enough. Unfortunately these beasts of crystal have also invaded my kingdom, far away, in
Burmecia."
"Damn! This isn't making any sense! Didn't the portal to that place collapse when we got rid of that freak?"
"Hmph." The silenthunter grunted from his corner. "What? You were there! You saw him die!" Zidane
yelled angrily. "Yeah, and so were you.But I also heard his last words. Don't you remember? "As long as there islife
and death, I will exist."
Garnet looked around hopelessly at everyone. Maybe it was time for her to dust off her Tiger
Racket...
"Well, that settles it. We have to go to the Iifa Tree." Everyone stared at Garnet.
"Your Highness, you are Alexandria's ruler! You cannot abandon your people!" Everyone looked at
the doorway.
Steiner took no notice as he walked up to Garnet. "I shall go in your stead. I have accepted that you
needed to join the fight against Necron, but this time, I shall not allow it! You are not fit for fighting
anymore."
He turned to the rest of the party.
"Does no one agree?"
"I agree." The king of Alexandria said quietly. Steiner had never completely respected the thief, but
for the moment, that was unimportant. "Thank you, Your Majesty." He turned to the rest of the group.
"We're too big to all go together. Let's split into two groups..."

The next few stories are from two sides; Party 1 and Party 2.
Party 1: Zidane, Amarant and Vivi.
Party 2: Steiner and Freya.
This is looking to be one of my longest series. I have up to 10 chapters already mapped out, with more on the way.
Hope you like it!
