Chapter 1
Sixteen Years Later
"Who are those little girls in pain,
just trapped in a castle on the dark side of the moon.
Twelve of them shinning bright in vain,
like flowers that blossom just once in years.
They're dancing in the shadows like whispers of love,
just dreaming of a place where they're free as doves.
They've never been allowed to love in this cursed cage,
it's only in fairy tales they believe."
"Terra, you should really stop singing to yourself all the time. I know you're bored, heck we all are, but your singing could let some idiot know there are girls living here in the Evil Forest ." A gorgeous sixteen year old with long, blood-red hair, and supper flat chest, growled to her black and blue haired counterpart, as she walked around the clearing in front of a crashed airship, in a large forest.
"I don't think anyone will hear me no matter how loud we are. I mean we live in a valley, and all the closest villages are on cliffs. How are they going to hear us from so far away?" The girl Terra responded.
Another girl identical to the other two but with brown hair, named Memoria, spoke up then, "Gaia's right though I guess she could have said it a bit nicer. If a traveler decided to cross through the valley to get to Alexandria castle and heard us it might cause difficulties for us."
"Rem, Aunt Sapphire got a job as an engineer in Lindblum, remember, so I don't see any problems with people finding out about us. We could just ask her to take us in for a while." Terra reasoned.
"Yeah, yeah, we know that already. Now, I'm getting hungry let's go find something to eat." Gaia said as her stomach growled.
"Okay." The others agreed.

"Have you guys figured out where that music came from yet?" A short boy asked as he walked through the doors to the bridge.
"No, not a thing has showed up that could have caused it, Little Master. No passage ships, no distortions, nothing." Replied a nerdy looking guy.
"You can't be serious. That music had to have come from somewhere. Maybe we should wake Shion and see if she can find anything?" Responded Little Master.
"Well, we probably won't find what caused it now that it stopped, Jr.." Concluded a mysterious boy with dark skin, silver hair, and transparent blue eyes.
"I guess your right chaos, but it kind of bugs me I've never heard a song like that before." Jr. said.
"Hey! We got a contact from the Durandal." Said the nerd.
"Well, what are you waiting for put up the connection!" Yelled a man in a red hat as he kicked the nerd in the back of the head.
"Ouch! Right away Captain." Replied the nerd.
A screen with a blond woman appeared at the front of the bridge.
"Little Master, we got your message, is everything alright!" The blond woman said in a Texas-like accent.
"Yeah, everything is fine but we couldn't find out where the music was coming from. Were you able to find anything, Mary?" Jr. asked.
"Yes, actually, we found some data that was supposed to have been destroyed when humans still lived on Lost Jerusalem." A purple-haired lady sitting in a chair next to Mary said.
"Lost Jerusalem ?! What was the data for?" asked the Captain.
The purple-haired lady continued, "We were really surprised too. The data was for the structure of a machine that could send things through space and time. There is data on the people that…were found…to have… used it…"
The connection got staticy, and cut off.
"Hey! What's going on!" The captian said.
"A distortion just formed! Wah…It's moving! It's heading straight for us!" The nerd started to panic.
Suddenly the entire ship started shaking and leapt forward, a bright light then eclipsed the ship. The ship jumped again this time as if were crashing, and when the light cleared they saw that the ship was sitting with it's back end on land and the front end submerged in an ocean.
"Wha…What just happened?" Jr. asked.
"I'm not sure." chaos answered.
……………………….
"I'm going to Alexandria for a few days, is there anything you guys would like me to do while I'm there?" Sapphire asked a group of strange looking men, as she tied up her short blue hair with a ribbon.
"Yeah, could you say hi to Zidane and Garnet?" Replied a man named Cinna.
"And tell Ruby that I don't plan on working at the mini theater now that the Theater District, here in Lindblum, is repaired." Said a handsome young actor.
"Ruby will kill you if she finds out you left!" Said a strange looking young man with red hair.
"Okay, okay! I'll just go see everyone and report back. Well, bye." Sapphire resolved, as she left.

"Excuse me, but do you know anyone that can help us repair the damages to our ship?" Shion asked an old man sitting on a bench.
"Wha? If your looking for ship repair you should go talk to Regent Cid or Sapphire. They know everything about airship, honey." Said the old man.
"Okay, but can you tell me where I can find one of them?" Shion responded.
"Yeah, just go down them steps right over… Well, speak of the devil! Sapphire this girl here has need of a good ship repairer, want to help her?" The old man said as he pointed at some stairs nearby.
"Huh? Oh, sure, so what's wrong?" Sapphire said as she walked over to them.
"Well, our ship crashed and we need some help." Shion said.
"Alright, so where is your ship?" Sappire asked as they walked away from the old man.
"It's outside the city. Are you sure you can help us?" Shion responded.
"Probably, but if I can't you're on your own trying to fix it yourself." She said as the headed for the gate at the city border.
"Alright, what seems to be the problem?" Sapphire asked.
"You're an engineer?" Asked Jr.
"Yes, can we hurry up I have somewhere I need to be soon." She responded.
"Our ships energy supply vanished." Replied chaos.
Sapphire looked startled. "Oh. Well I can't fix something like that but if you come with me to Alexandia I can get my girls to fix it."
"Wah! You can't?! How are they going to be able to fix it if you can't?" asked the nerd.
"You'll see when we get there."
"Alright let's go." Jr. said.
