"Bartz? Where are you?" Lenna called over the sound of a windy night. She wandered around a maze-like garden on a dark night, looking for Bartz. They were to move out the next morning. "Bartz?" She called again. In another place, young Krile was doing the same.
As the scared Krile peeked around a corner, she thought she saw something glowing blue in the distance. She suddenly turned into flame. When the flames cleared, Krile had turned into a geomancer, ready for battle.
She slowly approached the light, taking out her geomancer bell. As she approached the light more, she was able to see the figure better; a blue being with what looked like thin horns coming out of its head. It had a huge evil grin on its face and was holding a spiky club.
"Wendigo!" Krile shouted with fear. "Hello, dawn warrior," said Wendigo, "long time no see." "Wh...what do you want?" Krile asked fearfully. "Me? I simply want a rematch. What happened at the Wind Isle was but a fraction of my power." Wendigo answered.
Wendigo suddenly split into four. "Choose your target wisely," warned the Wendigoes, "it may be your last." Krile rose her hand and with it came a bunch of spiky sticks that appeared from the shrubberies of the garden. They shot toward the Wendigoes at high speeds, but one Wendigo teleported out of sight and the rest were left with the sticks shooting straight through them, not even making them flinch. When the sticks were done raining, The three false Wendigoes vanished from thin air. After that, the real one appeared right in front of Krile. Krile was paralyzed with fear as she watched Wendigo raise his deadly club. Krile finally snapped awake and rang the bell. Energy orbs in the shape of musical notes came from the bell and flew straight into Wendigo, slinging him clear across the thick path. Wendigo landed, knocking the breath out of him. He got back up slowly. He summoned a vile frost attack from the air around him and shot it at Krile. Krile used geomancy to create a wall of earth, which stopped the frost in its path. Wendigo, urging the frost forward with one hand, summoned a second frost storm with the other. That one he also pushed to Krile. The mound of earth Krile made couldn't hold the dual-cast frost attack for much longer.
Suddenly, a huge explosion of fire appeared behind Wendigo, making him fly a few feet. The earth shields disappeared. When Wendigo got up, he noticed a tall woman with purple hair holding two kiku-ichimonjis. "What?! No fair!" Wendigo complained. "-is." Faris completed. Krile tittered at this joke. Wendigo charged at her with his club, screaming. Faris sliced with one katana and the two weapons clashed. Krile shot sharp sticks at Wendigo, which Wendigo froze solid with frost. While Wendigo dueled with Faris, Krile drew her bell and shot more energy notes at Wendigo. With one hand, Wendigo held Faris' slicing back. With the other, he used frost to hold off the energy notes. Wendigo started to lose his strength very quickly.
Elsewhere, Bartz, wearing only his freelancer costume and a pair of socks, executed a well-thought-out prank on Lenna, who was constantly calling his name. Lenna eventually stopped to rest at a small tree. "Man, is it dark out here." Lenna said to herself. Bartz snuck through the shadows of the shrubbery to get on the other side of the tree as her. All the time, Lenna talked to herself to keep her company. "I just have to find Bartz. I really don't want to leave him behind.
Suddenly, a large person crashed through a shrubbery wall and hit the ground with a crash and an audible "oof." "Gilgamesh!" Lenna said in surprise. "Hi." Gilgamesh said shortly. He then got up and charged through another shrubbery wall. Lenna looked after him curiously.
Bartz, though weirded out by Gilgamesh, snuck silently towards Lenna. He was now on the other side of the tree of Lenna. Bartz had been holding a twig this whole time. He snapped said twig. Lenna heard it and turned to look behind the tree. Bartz moved out of sight of Lenna. Swiftly, he kept avoiding her range of sight. Lenna soon caught on. With an amused grin, she stopped and turned suddenly. Predicting this, Bartz also turned. Then Bartz turned again and looked Lenna straight in the face.
"Hi." Lenna said with a grin on her face. "Hi." Bartz answered. Bartz turned another corner of the tree and went out of Lenna's sight. Lenna giggled from amusement. She turned a corner at the same time at Bartz and nearly ran into him. She went the other way and it happened again. She did it again, but this time did not see Bartz. Bartz snuck up behind her and yelled. Lenna yelped in surprise, but then laughed at her own yelp.
The two were staring straight at each other until the sound of an explosion shook the garden. They went running through the corners and straightaways of the garden until they came upon a very strange sight; Faris and Krile were climbing all over Wendigo, punching every inch of him they could reach. Wendigo, in turn, had Gilgamesh in a headlock and Gilgamesh was warding off several puny Movers. At one point, three of the movers formed a Delta Attack, which exploded off of Gilgamesh, making him, Wendigo, Krile, and Faris go flying.
When they hit the ground, Wendigo noticed he was up against five enemies (not counting the Movers). He teleported away and all was quiet besides the Movers, who were communicating by a high humming. "I'm ready for an explanation at any time." Bartz said.
"Well," said Faris, "I went out looking for you, Bartz, when I heard some commotion. I came over here and found Krile about to get frozen solid. I started attacking Wendigo, Gilgamesh came through the wall, ant next thing I knew, the Movers started attacking Gilgamesh." She had talked so quickly that the only words that penetrated Bartz's brain were "Wendigo, Krile, and Gilgamesh." Luckily, that's all he needed to hear.
"Bartz, I think Wendigo is back somehow." Lenna commented. "Perfect. Just what we need." Bartz complained. "Yeah. Obvious statements." Faris said. Everyone stared at her "…No, Faris…I meant the fact that Wendigo is back.
