Exdeath is standing in front of the door to a room he thinks the person inside will be in. He knocks a few times then waits a while.
"Come in!" calls the person Exdeath wants to see. He enters the room that he is glad to see has one person in it. The mad clown himself, Kefka. The clown turns to see Exdeath enter.
"Why Exdeath," exclaims Kefka. "What brings you here?"
"Well I was wondering if you have sleeping liquid or if you know who does," replies Exdeath as he looks at Kefka's collection of creepy things. One of them being the head of a stuffed bunny sewn onto the body of a teddy bear and vice versa.
"Well I never use anything that puts my toys to sleep," exclaims Kefka. "I like them awake when I wanna play with them. So I use paralyzing powder bombs. Why? What wicked plan do you have in mind?"
"It doesn't matter," says Exdeath as he turns to leave. Suddenly bars magically appears in the doorway.
"Come on tell me," whines Kefka. "I wanna be in on your fun."
"You can't!" barks Exdeath. "Besides I'm not going to harm the one I'm going to use the sleeping liquid on."
"Then tell me what you're going to do if you're not going to have fun with them," whines Kefka.
"If you must know I'm going to take control one of the Cosmos Warriors," admitted Exdeath.
"Oh, tell me more," exclaims Kefka clapping his hands.
"I've been thinking of a way to out number the Cosmos Army. What I came up with is to take control of one of them and have him fight with us," exclaims Exdeath.
"Ah, now I get it," says Kefka. "Well you'll have to ask around then." Then he makes the bars vanish.
"Ok," mutters Exdeath walking out the door. He found the sleeping liquid in Kuja's possession. He then teleports to the Rift. Exdeath is in his castle when Kefka enters.
"I'm here to get front row seats to the show," he says.
"Come her if you want to watch this," exclaims Exdeath holding a wreath. Suddenly the weath glows black for a while. When it stopped glowing Exdeath is holding a wreath of black thorns.
"Now all I need is to put this on a head and that person will be in my control," says Exdeath. Kefka leaves the castle as Exdeath goes to where he is sure the target will be.
In a forest Bartz and Zidane are having a fight.
"Bartz you just broke my walking stick!" yells Zidane.
"Hey sorry pal," apologizes Bartz. "I'll go find you another one."
"Yes, go before you brake something else!" yells back Zidane as Bartz runs off. Suddenly Exdeath appears behind Bartz and covers his face with some cloth. Bartz goes limp within a few seconds. Zidane is almost close enough to attack Exdeath when both exdeath and Bartz teleports to who knows where. Then he hears a cackling sound. He turns around to see Kefka laughing his head off.
"Hey, do you know where He's taking Bartz!" demands Zidane.
"Oh, it won't do you any good to rescue your dear friend," taunted Kefka. "By the time you'll have rescued your dear Bartz, the old Bartz will be gone. I'll give you a hint though on where to find him. Go to where Bartz and Exdeath last fought together." after that's said he teleprts himself leaving Zidane to ponder about what he just heard, and fear for his friend's safe return.
