Terra's Journey
Lasinad
Disclaimer: Square, (at least, square 1993) owns Final Fantasy 3/6. Not me. This is a non-profit type Fanfic. Terra tries to find a way to contact Maduin, her father, and starts a quest to bring espers back to the planet.
Terra woke up on the following day. The nightmare had ended, Kefka was defeated. She thought of going back to Mobliz, to continue taking care of the children without parents, but then her father's final words caught her mind again.
"If you wish to continue living in this world, you must have a strong attachment to something here…"
"Father," Terra thought to herself. "What if you have something to live here for?"
The thought bugged her through breakfast. Locke looked at her, wondering what she was contemplating.
"Hey, Terra…what's up?"
"Oh, nothing, Locke," she spoke absent mindedly. "I was just wondering, if an esper were to live in this world, it would have no power, but live like a mortal, right?"
"…I'll stay out of this one," Shadow spoke from a corner, turned to the airship's bar and sat silently.
"Well, I don't know too much, but my ancestors were espers, and I'm still here," Strago said with a bit of sympathy in voice.
"Perhaps then, it is possible to enable a full esper a mortal life. Is that what you're asking, Terra?" wondered Celes.
"Kinda. But what happens if what I ask is impossible?"
"Impossible is a word of fools, cowards and the hopeless, which thou are not," Cyan confided.
"…Then I shall search for a way to revive my father."
"Need any help?" asked a slightly over-worried King Edgar.
"Brother, you should know by now! Even without magic, she's the strongest of our group…next to me."
"Nonsense! I be the strongest, and Terra next!"
"Wanna Bet?!"
"Enguarde!"
Cyan and Sabin go at it.
"No, I wish to go alone. Thanks for your guys' help offer, but I need someone to take care of the kids in Mobliz. Celes, Locke, can I ask you two to do me this favor?
"No problem, Terra," said Celes.
"But what about me, Kupo?" Mog asked hopefully.
"You need to take care of Umaro Yeti," said Relm, painting a picture of the recently deceased Kefka.
Sabin bum rushes Cyan
Cyan Quadra Slices Sabin
Interceptor bites both
Gogo mocks the scene
"We'll miss you…try to get back in one piece," Locke told her. "I only promised to protect you until your memory got back, but I wish you'd allow at least one of us to go with you."
"I'll be fine. Maybe I'll take Setzer with me…I might need the airship…"
"That's a gamble I'm willing to provide!" Setzer perked up.
"However, he will not journey off this airship once it lands," Terra finished
Setzer snaps fingers
"So I guess it's decided…I don't care what the rest of you do, but I'm going to test my strength at the Colosseum."
Shadow picks up Interceptor, tosses a Smoke Bomb and vanishes.
"Alright, passengers, and fellow journey companion…First stop, Mobliz, followed by Jidoor, and finally Figaro Castle."
Terra hugs Celes, then Locke
"Be safe…Though we have defeated Kefka, some of the monsters he created may roam the world," Locke spoke. "Just a warning from a seasoned Treasure Hunter."
All but Locke and Terra cough "Thief!"
Terra says final goodbyes and the airship finishes dropping off the characters that won't likely appear in the rest of the fanfic.
"So…Where shall we start looking for those creatures?" Setzer asked in a casual voice.
"…I don't know. But we have to start somewhere."
"Well…Rumor has it that there's a mysterious island that emerged from the sea east of the Ruins of Kefka's Tower…Wanna try there?"
"What do you know of this island?"
"Nothing really, but it's the only place that hasn't existed before, so we should start there anyways."
"Alright, then. Onward to Element Isle."
"That's what you're going to call it?" Setzer questioned
"Until the author comes up with a better name for it, yes."
And so begins the endless erm tireless journey of Terra. What will she find on the Element Isle? Will I come up with a better name for it? Is a cliffhanger really needed in an adventure/comedy fic? That, my friends, I do not know.
