THE VECTOR MURDERS
It is the darkest night ever. Imperial troops walk the streets, not knowing what kind of evil and horror lurk in the darkness. It seemed like a regular night of guard duty to these soldiers... but they were about to see something much worse.
"All clear over here!" a Soldier yelled as he patrolled the West Side of Vector.
"Yeah... there just ain't so many attacks anymore. I wish someone would at least get mugged by a thief once!" another Soldier said.
Just then, a young female General with blonde hair came out of the Imperial Castle. She is General Celes Chere. She approached one of the Soldiers.
"So, Vicks... everything's all clear?" she asked.
"Yes! General Celes! All clear!" Vicks explained.
"Good... now, Kefka's coming through with his clipboard... I hope he gets a good report out of all of you." Celes said.
"Oh yes, he will!" a Soldier said while stepping up beside Vicks.
"Yep. He'll see that we work very hard!" Vicks said as Celes went back inside.
Vicks just watchs Celes until she disappears from view. He turns to Wedge.
"Damn! She's beautiful!" he exclaimed.
"Yeah? I think Terra's more---" Wedge started as he was interrupted by someone screaming in terror.
Vicks, Wedge, and a group of Soldiers all run to the scene. A woman is standing near her dead husband who is laying on the ground covered in blood! There are a few daggers sticking out of him.
"Holy shit! What happened!?" Wedge asked.
"He... he's dead! Someone murdered him!" the woman frantically explained.
"I can see that... but who?" Vicks said.
Some Imperial Scientists carry the body away as the woman is escorted to the Inn to get some rest. Vicks and Wedge enter the Castle to consult Kefka. Kefka does not seem pleased.
"What!? Murder!? Who the hell would do this in Vector!?" Kefka screamed.
"Sir! We should be calm about this... it's the only way to figure it out." Vicks said.
"No way!" Kefka screamed again.
"Are YOU the murderer?" Wedge asked.
"What!? No fucking way! Get outta here!" Kefka screamed at the Soldiers.
Vicka and Wedge go outside and call some troops. They enter a large room and start planning the search party. They were sure determined to find this madman!
"So, there's murders around here?:" Terra asked as she caught up to Celes.
"Yeah... old Mrs. Abons is almost insane at the loss of her husband." Celes said.
Pierre runs up to Celes and hands her a small dirk. He explains that it is identical to the ones found in the dead body, which is the body of Mr. Abons.
"Yeah... Robert Abons was our best spy." Pierre said.
"He was great... but can't I be good spy sometimes?" Celes asked.
"Yeah, you can, Celes... and you're a damn beautiful one too!" Pierre said.
Celes blushed at that, but she quickly shrugged if off and continued. Suddenly, more screaming was heard. Celes and Terra rush into the next room to see a man, Mr. Torren, kneeling next to his dead wife.
"No! How could this happen!?" he wailed.
"It's okay, Brian... we'll solve this case yet." Celes assured him.
Terra examined the body. It had more dirks stuck in it and this time there was a note. Celes picked it up and read it.
"And I'll be gettin' you too, Brian! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! You're gonna die soon! Enjoy your last moments! HA!" Celes read. "A threat note."
"Get all this cleaned up and conduct a search on Mrs. Torren's body! Celes and I will go south to Albrook for help!" Terra ordered.
"We will?" Celes asked.
Terra didn't speak. She just motioned for Celes to follow her to the Town Gates, which were closed and locked up tight. Terra tried prying them loose, but they were too tightly closed.
"Damn! Someone doesn't want us to leave!" she said, slightly scared.
A man tried to climb over the outer wall, but he suddenly was impaled on one of the spikes perched on the top. There were also a few other bodies that were brutally murdered and killed while escaping.
"And now... we're trapped! Trapped with a madman!" Celes cried.
Suddenly, a body falls right in front of Celes! She jumps back, surprised and horrified at the sight. There is a Gold Lance impaled clean through the body. Right through its skull.
"We'd better get outta here while we still can!" Terra said in terror.
Terra and Celes run toward the Magitek Research Facility where they find a dozen dead bodies that don't have any HEADS! Celes almost is sick over the sight as they run into the factory. Inside, there are number of dead scientists and soldiers, some with no heads. Celes and Terra carefully make their way through the bloody walkways and finally reach the final chamber. There stood Cid... with a large axe in his hands!
"I've been waiting, Celes... heh, heh..." he said with an evil grin.
"Cid? Why are you doing this?" Celes demanded.
"I wanted revenge. The Empire killed my wife! They're gonna pay! Each and every one of them!" Cid explained.
"But... you're the only one I have..." Celes said sadly.
"Yeah... sure, bitch! Fuck this all and you're gonna die first! You and that little green-haired bitch!" Cid yelled.
Terra and Celes run out of the room with Cid in hot pursuit! He has his axe tightly held in both hands, but that does not seem to be slowing him down at all! Terra pushes over a large vat of green ooze that Cid slips in, but he's right back up and chasing them again!
"Can't we shake him!?" Terra asked.
"I don't think so! Just keep running! Maybe a guard will see him!" Celes ordered.
"But... what about--" Terra started.
"Just run!" Celes interrupted. "That's an order!"
As they run outside, guards are flocking near the entrance. They see the two young girls run past and Cid chasing them shortly after. Cid is yelling something inaudible as he runs past.
"Get back here!" Cid yelled.
Celes runs into the Inn while Terra keeps going into the Weapon Shop. It appears that Cid has lost them for now. Celes sees the Innkeeper and begs him for help.
"What? Cid's a murderer?" the Innkeeper said.
"Yes! He killed all those citizens! All those soldiers...." Celes said frantically.
Suddenly, the door is knocked down by a large axe. Cid slides into the Inn. He has an insane look on his face. It is a look to kill!
"Come to Gramps, bitch." he said.
"No!" Celes yelled as she ran past him, barely dodging the axe.
"Cid! What the fuck are you doing!?" someone said.
"Huh? Kefka?" Cid said, shocked.
"Get your ass into the Imperial Castle! The Emperor's pissed at you!" Kefka yelled angrily.
"Yes, sir..." Cid said as he marched away, leaving the axe behind.
"Uwee hee hee! Got my axe back!" Kefka said with glee.
Terra came out of the Weapon Shop to see that Cid had gone and Kefka had the axe. Kefka raised the axe and threw it! It barely missed hitting Terra! She ran into the Castle and told Celes about Kefka being the true murderer.
"What? No... it was Cid. And he's now in jail. Recovering." Celes explained.
"No! Kefka threw that axe at me! Please, Celes! Believe me! Please!" Terra frantically yelled.
A group of soldiers suddenly walked in, dragging Kefka behind them. They dragged him up the stairs and into the Jail. But as he was being dragged up, he shot a final evil glare at Terra. And then he was gone.
"....Kefka....you'll never get away with this..." Terra muttered.
"Well... I'm glad that's over... now, I just wish Vicks would stop asking me out! I don't know how much long I can keep rejecting him!" Celes said.
"Maybe you should give in." Terra suggested.
"What? No way! Not to that creep!" Celes said sharply.
With that, the two girls walked upstairs and went to their rooms. Vicks had been watching the whole thing. He looked almost sad at what Celes had said, but he seemed all too confident.
"Oh well! I'll just try even harder next time!" he said as he left the Castle.
And so ends the Reign of Terror that had caused many lives at Vector to be lost. All the death, all the pain... all caused by.. Cid!? No one said Cid! Oh wait, I did... oh well, at least Kefka had a small part in it... maybe someday Kefka will have his own adventure... maybe.
"Well, I'd better! You fucker!" Kefka screamed from a jail cell.
"Shut up, Kefka! I'm getting out soon and you're not! I'm recovered now! And you're not!" Cid taunted.
"Both of you just SHUT UP!! I'm tryin' to sleep here!" Celebi yelled from a room across the hall.
THE END!!
