Huzzah for Flynn ...sorry Caryn, couldn't get to you yet. I need to do some drabbles and crack chapters still. For those who might be getting lost in the story, the drabbles do become important, so keep track of those as well to keep up with the story when they come out :)

Please remember, ( ) parenthesis are MY thoughts, italics are telepathic talk between me and Kairi

Once we happened upon a familiar scene, Rita broke the silence first, "So this is Ehmead Hill?" Karol was looking around in the sky, "Yeah…but…" he looked absolutely confused, "That's weird…The barrier's gone." That got me to thinking, just why did the Empire need a Hermes powered barrier blastia out HERE for? "You mean there was a barrier here?" Yuri asked Karol, surprised there would even be one in this empty place. Karol just turned stumped back to us, "There was when I came before."

"Sort of a waste to have a barrier in a place with no people, if you ask me," Yuri said. I was still in thought, "Well, maybe it was for like, caravans? I mean Nor is that way right, and Halure is the other way, do the both do trade with one another? Although, I'd imagine a port town would be more trading with boats than with caravans, but still they gotta get merch from somewhere, imports, exports…I'm starting to think too much into this, someone stop me ahead of time next time…" Yuri just gave me that goofy grin again, and I swear I will hit him if he does it again, my gut wants to burst in laughter.

"Are you sure you aren't mistaken? I'm pretty familiar with the barrier locations, but here?" Rita said in her usual, I'm a Genius way. "You just haven't heard about this one. Nan told me it was only put here recently," Karol stated his source. Boy did that make Estelle curious, "Who is Nan, Karol?"

"Huh…?" Karol looked stunned for a second before regaining composure, "Uh, she's um…You know, she's just a friend from my guild." I pretended to be winded and fell to my knees dramatically with fake sobs and sniffles, "Ah! A girlfriend already….My baby boy is growing too fast…" Estelle's eyes lit up at the word girlfriend, Rita just could care less, Yuri was just giving me that goofy grin still, and Kairi was smiling awkwardly at me. Karol however, was so flustered he quickly blurted out a few words before running off again, "I-I'm gonna go see if I can find anything out!"

"You don't spare anyone with teasing…do you?" Kairi said as we watched Karol in the distance. "Since when is he 'your baby boy' anyways?" Rita asked in her usual 'I'm a genius with some anger issues' tone. "Ever since I squeezed his face between mah boobs," I said picking my arms up beside my breasts and squeezing inwards to emphasize. "Wha-! Well, whatever, I think I'll have a look myself," Rita said with pink cheeks as she then took off.

"All right, never mind us, guys. I'm not gonna go look for them if they get lost," Yuri said jokingly. "Wow Yuri, you win best Father of the Year award for sure," I joked back, to which I then noticed Estelle's intense gaze on me, "Uh…Estelle can I help you?"

"They were…jiggling," Estelle managed to get out, her unblinking stare still aimed at my chest. Jiggling? Oh, right…she's got that thing with big boobs since she's tiny. Believe me the game did her no justice, she looked like a good C cup with her dress in the game, but really the white part of her dress makes her look bigger than what she actually is; her chest is actually in the pink area within the white, and she looks to be about a small B cup, maybe even a large A cup, in any case she's lacking and trying to make up for it with her white dress topper. Not gonna lie, it's genius to make up for it like that.

I pretended to be embarrassed and threw my arms around my breast to 'cover' them, but I was holding them up with 1 arm around where my nips should be, picking them up enough that if my dress had a V neck there'd be cleavage galore; the other arm covering them up top dramatically like how Judith sometimes poses with her hands on her breasts. "GYA! Estelle, where are you looking at me?! Is THAT how you've been seeing me?! I'm sorry, but I don't swing that way…" I shouted in an overly dramatic fashion. Estelle quickly snapped out of her trance and began panicking, "Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to stare at them, I don't mean anything, honest!" Kairi just began laughing through her hands that she had covering her mouth to stifle her giggles, but alas, everyone falls charm to the boobs, errr I mean panic reactions!

"Come on, let's go make sure the kids aren't causing trouble," Yuri said smirking, he looked like he had been holding back some laughter too. I got up and nudged Yuri playfully, joking around with him, "Good idea, 'Daddy'. Let's go." Yuri smirked and played along, "Ladies first then, 'Mommy'." Kairi and Estelle gaped at the two of us with wide eyes and open mouths, and that got me to laugh big time; Yuri burst into chuckles at their reactions when he took notice also. After our laughing fit, we all headed up to where Rita and Karol were at.

It was something to behold, the large blastia smoking on the ground in pieces, made me wonder how recently Judith came to destroy this. "Hey, hey! No outsiders allowed!" a cloaked guy argued as Rita began walking towards the blastia. "Let me through! I'm Rita Mordio of the Imperial Blastia Research Laboratory," Rita said very demandingly. "Oh, you're a mage from Aspio? Excuse me!" The cloaked man said getting out of the way, until he realized what he was doing and began to panic a little, "Oh, but you can't just do as you please! Let me go and ask the-." With that, the cloaked man ran off to call the knights.

Yuri just chuckled a bit, "Huh, I could use some of her attitude." I raised my hand, "Amen to that. Me too!." Estelle just sweat dropped and responded, "I think you both have plenty already…"

Baby boy came running up to us, energy output to the MAX, "Hey! Listen to this! It was like bam! A spear went thunk! The blastia went bang! And he flew off into the sky like whoosh!" Yuri's brain just turned to mush at that moment, "Who did what how…huh?"

I grabbed Karol's face with both my hands and examined him, "Did anybody who was smoking breathe anything on you?" Kairi just sweat dropped, "I'm not so sure if anyone does-" I turned to her with a scowl, "Hey! I'm just concerned that he might've gotten stoned."

Karol brushed my hands off him before continuing, "Someone riding a flying dragon, threw a giant spear at the blastia! And then just flew off!" Yuri wasn't buying it, "A human riding a dragon? No way." Estelle looked surprised, but wasn't buying it either, "I've never heard of anything like that before." Karol was doing his best to try to get them to believe him, "That's what I thought too, but a bunch of people here saw it happen! They say it was a 'dragon rider.'" The two still didn't look convinced, so I figured it was my turn now.

"Sounds awesome, I'd like to fly a dragon. Wonder where you get a dragon to begin with," I said as I thought about How to Train Your Dragon, man I'd so want Toothless. "You're seriously buying the dragon story?" Yuri said completely surprised at my reaction. I stared at him poker face before giving my response, "This coming from the guy who's speaking to an alien." At that, everyone but me and Kairi seemed to jolt and take in the possibility.

"A dragon rider…Hmmm. Well, the world's just full of surprises," Yuri said, just as we began to hear Rita shouting, "Hey! What do you think you're doing?! Let me go!" That caught all our attention, Karol just looked tired, "There she goes again." I tilted my head, when did this happen before? I mean, yeah the three stooges were after us in Halure, but they didn't catch us.

"Something is definitely strange with this blastia formula!" Rita shouted at the cloaked man. "There's nothing strange at all. Perhaps you are…" The cloaked man got out, earning a sweat drop to me, nice come back there buddy…really…can you just feel my sarcasm…? "Just who do you think I am!?" Rita shouted angrily. "I think she's just a bratty teenager," I muttered for all to hear except for Rita and the knights. The gang just sweat dropped at me, and then returned focus back to Rita.

"I'm well aware of who you are. The famed genius mage, correct? But surely there are some formulas that even you aren't familiar with!" the cloaked man stated as a matter of factly. "You can't use a weird formula like this! Think of the poor blastia!" Rita shouted again. "H-Hey! Stop gawking and help us catch her!" another cloaked guy shouted towards some more knights, getting their attention.

Karol then ran out and tried to help Rita by distracting the knights, "Fire! Hey, fiiiiire!" The knights looked over at him as weirdly as someone with a helmet can, "What's with that kid?" (I honestly think he's stoned right now haha). "A fire? I don't hear anything or smell anything…" another knight said assessing the situation. "Hey! You little liar!" The first knight shouted angrily. "Crap…they caught on that fast?" Karol said pouty. "Karol, take a nap, you're drunk," I playfully joked. The knights charged at Karol and he ran like the wind.

One knight stopped in front of us, "Hey! You are with that kid…Wait a minute…You two - there's a warrant for your -." Yuri quickly ran to knock out the knight behind Rita before running past us, "It's now or never…" I grabbed Kairi's staff and slammed it down on the knight's head, he fell down for a tiny bit before getting back up, "Argh, you little - wait!" (Ah! Why can't I 1 hit you with a staff to the head?!) Repede tackled him into the ground, giving time for me, Kairi, and Estelle to run for it. "I'm sorry," Estelle stopped briefly to say before following us into the bushes.

"Hey! Stop goofing off and help catch that kid!" Another knight shouted to the knight who was now getting up off the ground. "Damn…!" He certainly wasn't happy that we ran off. Once we seemed far in enough in, Yuri stopped, "Phew, looks like we lost 'em." Repede came out from the bushes and joined Yuri as Estelle complained, "*Huff* *huff* Rita, you should really think more before you act!" I pouted and whined, *Huff* She *huff* doesn't have a *huff* fully developed, prefrontal cortex *huff* Estelle, so even if she tried *huff* she can't." Yuri patted my back, "Don't say everything in a mouthful, take it easy."

"*Huff*…That barrier blastia was just so strange, I couldn't help myself…" Rita argued back. "Strange? Something fishy about it?" Yuri asked curiously. Rita regained her breath before responding, "I have a feeling that may be an understatement." (Well duh, they're trying to make Hermes blastia using other formulas and blastia). Yuri didn't seem fazed, but Kairi and I were still out of breath, I hated being so damn chubby. "Well, our hands are already full as it is, so could you please keep us out of it?" Yuri directed to Rita, I blinked a bit, I know he says that in the game, but I couldn't help but feel it was more to me and Kairi's defense seeing us so out of breath, plus my period…yeah there was that.

Rita just turned away, "…It doesn't concern you, regardless." I pouted, "It is our concern when we're dragged into it, baka!" Estelle turned her head confused, "Baka?" Kairi looked about ready to intercept, but nope, "It means Stupid, Moron, Idiot, pick whichever sounds better to you!" Kairi face palmed as Rita turned red in frustration, "WHAT?!"

"Yuri Looowell! Where have you and those 2 wenches run off to now?" Leblanc's harsh voice rang out, making us all clamp our mouth shut and cover our ears. (Oh, so now we're wenches…I outta sock him one next time…). Through the bushes we could see Leblanc passing by, looking about. "Hey, Mr. Famous, sounds like you've got a fan out there," Rita whispered to Yuri. "Dangit! That was a good one! My sass needs to get faster," I whispered in a pouty tone at Rita's nickname for Yuri.

Yuri just sighed, and whispered, "Again? That guy gives a new meaning to the word 'workaholic'." I smirked and said in a low voice, "Well what do you expect? He doesn't get laid, he's gotta get drunk on something. I suppose work was his only option."

"Lady Estelliiiise! I say, do come out of hiding!," Gay Fish, I mean Adecor said as he passed by. Rita turned to us and muttered, "You guys have a lot of problems! Just who are you, anyway?" I wickedly smiled before whispering back, "Why we're aliens set to take over this world with Eurobeat music and our innovative fashion sense!" Rita turned to Estelle quickly after giving me that, I don't give a fuck about you look, to which Estelle looked away and tried to answer, "Umm, well, I'm…"

"Yuuuri, come out, come out, wherever you are!" Pervit, I mean Boccos shouted. "You can talk about that later!" Yuri told Rita, whose focus was still on Estelle. Repede ran forward and growled a bit at the rustling bushes, but soon settled as he recognized the scent. "Waaaah! Wait, wait! It's me!" Karol shouted rather loudly. Estelle stepped back a little, "…Ack, Karol…don't frighten us like that!"

I ran forward and squeezed Karol in between my breasts, "Baby boy, don't ever scare me by running away like that again~" He flailed to get away as Yuri butted in, "Anyway, let's get our butts to Nor Harbor before things get any more complicated."

"Which way were we supposed to go, again?" Estelle asked. "Let's see, as the crow flies…" Karol said as he began pointing our heading. "Isn't this a beast trail? Can we really go through here?" Kairi looked around, "I don't see a sign saying we can't, so long as we exercise caution, we should be fine." I whined, "But my blood isn't gonna help at all…" At that everyone looked at me, shocked, yeah they weren't liking my period right now, though with all the fighting, they should have levels on them.

"We'll just have to keep a look out as we go, and we'll go as far as we can go, at least. I don't want to get captured again," Yuri declared. "We'll need to surround Liana and be on the look out for monsters, then," Estelle said, getting a plan and idea in her head before we would head out. "Meh, what are one or two monsters to the brave Captain Karol?" Yuri said, I couldn't tell if he was trying to make Karol feel better or just teasing him. "Y-yeah, that's right! Though if the barrier were up, we wouldn't have to worry about monsters at all…" Karol said nervously.

"I can't stand it! Why does some idiot have to go around breaking blastia and making our lives difficult?!" Rita shouted mildly. I was happy Yuri was focused on Karol, my face felt conflicted in emotions, I felt like telling them so bad about Hermes blastia and aer, everything, I want to trust them with that knowledge, but…if I do…what could happen to them? …To us…? Kairi could sense my unease too and rubbed my back a little without anyone seeing to calm me down. Once everyone seemed set, we all headed forward, facing MANY monsters along the way.

-*- Who is Nan? -*-

Karol: …Hey, Estelle, Liana. I noticed you both keep looking in my direction - what's up?

Estelle: You don't mind if I ask? All right, well then…here goes. This 'Nan'… Are you in love with her?

Karol: Ack… *hack* *cough* *choke*

Estelle: Nan is a girl's name, right? Is she the girl you wanted to show Halure's flowers to…?

Karol: Waaaaaa! No, no, no! You got it all wrong!

Estelle: I do?

Karol: Man, she'd be so angry if she heard you say that…

Liana: …My baby boy is becoming a man *sniffle*…

Estelle: Karol, good luck with her! I'm rooting for you!

Karol: Uh yeah…Well, thanks. That's encouraging…

"I didn't know flowers like this grew in the mountains!" Rita said a bit interested in the giant flower, and she reached out to touch it. "Rita! Don't touch it!" Estelle shouted before going into her book recital mode, " Inhaling billybally leaf pollen can lead to vertigo and strong feelings of exhaustion." Rita backed off for a second, "Hmph…" before she walked behind Karol, and I knew what she was about to do. Before I could stop her, she shoved Karol into the plant. "Hey, what're you -" was all Karol got out before he became Paralyzed. "Whoops, sorry!" Rita said with a wicked grin. I gave her a side glare, I was gonna give her a few minutes, then she'd get a taste of motherly anger. "Karol, are you okay?!" Estelle panicked and tried curing him, though to no avail.

Yuri figured her game though, "You're interested in healing artes?" Rita just turned away, "Nah…" but before she could walk away, I was in front of her, "Good, cause you might need some," I smirked deviously and shoved her into the billybally plant. "Hey! What's your -" was all Rita could get out before she too became paralyzed. "L-Liana! What did you do that for?!" Estelle shouted a tad angrily, "I can't use healing artes on this, it's no use! We'll have to wait until they recover naturally!"

"Not my problem, I warned her in Halure, hit Karol, I'll hit her back. I keep my words, she paralyzed him, well she'll get a taste of that medicine," I smirked deviously with the peace sign up. "You really are protective of him," Kairi said with a tiny chuckle. "Yup, mess with my baby boy, you'll get a taste of motherly vengeance," I chuckled. "That's all well and good, but just how long will it take for them to recover naturally," Yuri said now stating the issue. Estelle looked unsure, "Karol, Rita, be strong!"

After about 15 minutes, they both came too, "Ugh, Rita, you're terrible…" Karol pouted to Rita. "I said I was sorry," Rita responded to Karol so uncaringly before turning to glare at me, "And you! Why'd you shove me into it?!" I glared darker in return, my patience was running thin with Rita, I'd had enough of her today to last a while, "Do I really have to repeat myself? Mess with Karol, you're going to get it. You heard the effects of the plant from Estelle, yet you shoved him into it, and not on accident either. What did you want me to do, tie you upside down in a tree and pull out my giant paper fan and smack you about 50 times? Ask Kairi to hit you with a Meteor Strike? Tie you up and make you listen to the Schnuffel Bunny Snuggle Song on repeat for hours on end?"

Kairi paled at the Schnuffel punishment, though everyone except Rita looked at me with wide eyes, they could tell my hormones were going ballistic, and to try to cool things down before it can escalate. Rita stayed quiet, I couldn't tell if she just decided to drop it or if she got my message. "Karol, if you're all right, then let's go," Yuri said, trying to change things to getting back out of this trail and to Nor Harbor. "Let's be careful to stay away from the billybally leaf from now on, okay?" Estelle said, and we all silently agreed and pressed onwards.

-*- Meteor Strike? -*-

Karol: Say, Liana, what was that about a meteor?

Liana: Huh? Meteor Strike? It's Kairi's second most powerful magic to date so far as I know.

Karol: Whoa! Really?! What does it do?

Liana: She basically summons a meteor to land wherever she aims it at, the area will be engulfed in flames for a good while, though I haven't seen it for a while, so I forget how big that meteor is, it's not planet catastrophic size, so there's no worries to that. Though it is bigger than a small house, I know that much.

Yuri, Karol, & Rita: !

Estelle: ! That sounds scary.

Liana: Yeah, so unless I give you an okay, don't ever fire that one off. Or Lightning Rod…or any advanced magic, please.

Kairi: Right.

-*- The Dragon Rider -*-

Yuri: Man, some people have some weird hobbies. I mean, who goes around destroying blastia?

Estelle: I wouldn't really call that a hobby.

Rita: If we ever come across whoever's doing this, I'll destroy him!

Karol: But what if he has some reason for what he's doing?

Liana: Good thinking there, buddy. *mutters to self* Though…I can't tell you what that reason is…

Rita: They can have any reason they want, destroying blastia is unforgiveable! Period! *strangling Karol*

Estelle: !

Karol: Ack, my, my neck! My neck! Waaaaaghh! Ack, heeeelp me, Yuri!

Yuri: Meh, that'd take effort. *backs up* Just play nice with each other , kids.

Karol: Estelle…

Estelle: *backing up* Umm… do your best, Karol!

Liana: *puts plastic bag over Rita's head and closes it**smiling devilishly* Ah, seems like my hands slipped~. Should I tie it nice and tight? Very tight~?

Rita: *drops Karol* Can't…breathe…I give…take it….off….

Liana: *takes off bag* Good to see you're learning *evil smirk*

-*- Snuggle Song -*-

Estelle: Umm…Liana…

Liana: Hm?

Estelle: I was wondering…Can I hear that Snuggle Song?

Liana: Huh? Seriously?

Estelle: Yes! It sounds so cute~

Liana: Alright, but I'll warn you, it can qualify as torture to listen to for long periods. *Puts song on phone and puts headphones on Estelle's head*

Estelle: *30 second in song* … *takes off headphones* It's…umm…

Liana: Annoying and corny, huh?

Estelle: Umm well, …. Yes.

Liana: Told you…

-*- A Nice, Fun, Relaxing Trip -*-

Yuri: Red-eyes, knights …Why can't we just have a nice, fun, relaxing trip?

Karol: You're one to complain, Yuri.

Rita: Yeah, weren't those knights calling YOUR name?

Karol: But you're the one who was fighting with the mages, Rita.

Estelle: Please, everyone! We're okay, aren't we? I actually think it's kind of fun.

Kairi: Well, I'll admit, it is kind of exhilarating to actually be doing things rather than just walk and get there.

Yuri: If you two think being chased is fun, you're going to love the rest of this trip.

Karol: Yeah, you may have written off what just happened, but we're still fugitives!

Liana: *devilish smirk* And loving every minute of it.

It took us a while to get up the hill as I ran to get the chests in the area. As we entered into the all too familiar clearing, I felt myself getting the chills. I had no trouble beating this boss and getting the secret mission in one go in the game, but this time I'm 'in' it, and these guys aren't under my command and control, the odds of us getting through this was so low, I began to worry. If push comes to shove, I may have to ask Kairi to use Meteor Strike…regardless, that would leave us pretty darn hurt if she had to, but, it's either being burnt or dying, and being burnt is better than dying right now.

The loud roar stopped us in our tracks, and Karol shivered a bit and frantically looked around, "Wh…what's that?" Yuri's eyes immediately darted up to the cliff and our gazes followed. There he was, Gattuso, the game did nothing for him, this guy was MASSIVE! "Gyaaaah!" Karol shouted in panic and fear before running to hide behind me, "Th-that's one of the monsters that attacked Halure village!" Yuri looked amused, "A survivor, huh?" (Ah, he's such a battle maniac, this time he's gonna bite more than he can chew…I never did much fiddling with the game when we started, everything has been in normal mode….this guy has like close to 27k hp if I remember…oh boy…).

"If we leave it here it'll surely go back and try to attack Halure again…" Rita said seriously. "But Halure has the barrier protecting it now," Estelle said a bit worried about facing Gattuso. 'Even so, how are the people of Halure supposed to sleep at night with beasts like this crawling around just outside the barrier?" Yuri argued his point. "Good point, Kairi, this might actually be a fight where you might have to use advanced magic, wait on my words though please, I'm thinking of a plan here," I said seriously as I began thinking of a strategy.

Gattuso let out a large roar and 2 cubs came out from the bushes as he hopped down from the cliff at us. Immediately he went into Overlimit making Karol shout, "They can use that?!" I pouted, "That's so not fair, but at the same time so cool…" The cubs were a lot less troublesome, it was Gattuso that was my main concern, "Kairi. Can you just quickly kill the cubs with firebolt? They only have like 3k hp, won't be much, a fully charged firebolt each will do it, I gotta get these guys to use the billybally plant to stun Gattuso so we can do damage to him!" Kairi just nodded and obeyed, while Estelle was rushing at Gattuso, everyone was basically charging him…god these people. "HEY! ESTELLE! STAY BACK NEAR A BILLYBALLY PLANT AND ONLY USE HEALING ARTES! WE MAY NEED THEM REALLY BAD! AND IF HE GOES NEAR YOU, HIT THE PLANT AND RUN! HOPEFULLY IT'LL STUN HIM!" I shouted at Estelle, furious that she hasn't figured out YET that a healer needs to stay back!

Estelle looks surprised, but obeyed just as Karol got hit by it's claws and was poisoned. Repede threw him a gel as I rushed Gattuso and got his attention pretty fast, being on a period had its pros and cons, pro was his attention was on me, con was…his attention was on me.

"Oh shit," I ran near a billybally plant and hit it before backing up and waiting to see if he'd run into the pollen, no such luck, the plant closed up just as he reached it. Yuri, Karol, and Repede charged him to try to regain his attention, and while they couldn't shake him off me, he put the hurt on us with his roaring attack. "A little test," I heard Rita say as she cast Splash on him, it did hardly anything, I just recalled he was weak to FIRE…though it'll be weird to shout at Rita to throw Fireballs this way when we're in the way….yeah I won't do that…

"Ow!" Karol shouted as Gattuso hit him with his tail attack. "Watch out, this one's tough," Yuri said seriously and a bit out of breath. After dealing a sufficient amount of damage to Yuri, Karol, and Repede, to the point where they began staggering, his focus was back on me. I barely could dodge his barrage of attacks, this boss was merciless. "GYA!" I yelped in pain, just as a claw sliced into my thigh from his poison claw. He took that time to roar and hit me with his tail, sending me back quite a bit. "Gggghhh," I slowly got up to realize he was fixing to charge me again, yeah, I hate being a girl big time now...damnit, I can't go down yet, not here.

Rita was casting spells to try to stop him, Estelle also casting Photon, but nothing was taking him off me, nothing but a fully charged firebolt from Kairi. He turned to Kairi, now eager to get rid of the one who was dealing a good chunk of damage…but that power comes with a tradeoff, her defense…she's so weak, one hit and she might go down. She was standing by a billybally plant…."KAIRI! HIT THE PLANT NOW AND RUN!" I shouted as Gattuso charged her.

She whacked the plant and quickly ran away as Gattuso slid into the pollen. He got stunned…but Kairi got stunned also, she wasn't fast enough. Everyone took that small amount of stun time to try to hurt him, I bet we weren't doing much. Once he snapped out of it along with Kairi, Kairi ran from him as he began chasing her around. "GUYS! WE NEED TO USE THE PLANTS TO STUN HIM! THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GONNA TAKE HIM DOWN!" I shouted to the others, not caring if we got that secret mission anymore, I just want us to live! Everyone understood and we tried luring him around and hitting the plants, it wasn't going so good until, one of Rita's fireballs hit the plant as he was by a plant chasing Repede. Repede was fast enough to get out the way, and Yuri quickly downed him, secret mission, success.

A slash on my back launching me forward from an attack with his tail told me I was running out of stamina, curse being overweight. Everyone was doing what they could, but it was obvious, everyone was wearing down BIG TIME, while he seemed on fire. "I can't take this thing anymore! I GOT AN IDEA! EVERYONE GET AWAY FROM HIM! KAIRI! ...LIGHTNING ROD!" I shouted as loudly as I can as I got up from the floor. Everyone looked surprised, and began immediately running off as far from him as they could even if he was chasing them. Rita stopped casting, though Estelle kept up her first aid. Kairi looked dumbfounded but nodded and began charging up the Lightning Rod. A large blue circle appeared under her as her staff began to zap electricity at the tip, with the light becoming more intense as she kept charging it to the Max.

Didn't that get Gattuso's attention, he began to charge at her, big mistake. It doesn't take long to fully charge Lightning Rod, and with a point of her staff, as quick as Lightning…pun intended, a large streak of lightning rushed through Gattuso's head and body leaving a gaping hole as he tumbled over obviously dead.

"…Whoa," Karol said in awe of Kairi's sheer power before realizing the situation, "We, we, w-we won!" Estelle looked a tired, but relieved, "Now Halure is safe as well." Yuri looked a bit unconvinced though, "I don't know…" Though Karol put on a tiny braggard face, "Wh-what the heck! It hardly put up a fight!" (Haha, he's trying to be a big boy…but really, that almost killed me, would've killed us if I hadn't told Estelle to just prioritize healing and avoiding conflict with him…and had Kairi Lightning Rod it…). "But there could be a dozen more just around the corner…" Estelle said a bit worried. "True, that one brought cubs with it…if it has cubs that means there has gotta be another one somewhere, or the possibility of more cubs elsewhere," I stated an obvious fact. "N-no worries, seriously!" Karol said still braggingly, "Kairi, can get rid of them easy with that move."

"I wouldn't be to sure buddy, Lightning Rod needs some cool down time between uses, and while that cool down time and charging time may not be much…1 second can be the difference between defeat and victory with Kairi. She's powerful, but at a price…" I tried explaining to Karol strictly. "Huh? And what might this price be?" Rita asked curiously, seems Kairi was now her favorite research material. "Let's see," I thought for a second how to phrase this, until a smirk formed on my face, "It'd be easier to demonstrate. Yuri, be a dear and pick Kairi up and squeeze her a bit, you'll figure out what the tradeoff is."

"Huh?!" Kairi said, her face getting pink as she backed up, "N-N-No! We d-don't need a demonstration! Honest!" Yuri began to pick up on that I was teasing and decided to go with the flow, he smirked and began walking towards her, "Give up. It'll be easier for us if we know your weaknesses to better cover you." Rita looked like she was on fire, "He's right! So just stay put and let him pick you up, it's not a HUGE DEAL!"

Kairi's pink cheeks were getting redder with each step Yuri took, but she obeyed and stayed put, her eyes looked like they were about to turn to swirls with how flustered she was getting, "B-B-B-But! I-I-I, I ca…I can't…I…" With one swoop, Yuri had her in his arms, "Hmm?" he immediately seemed to notice the issues and began bouncing her in her arms. "Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" Kairi shrieked as he bounced her. She gripped his shirt tight, putting her body closer to him to try to avoid being thrown any higher. "Ah, so that's the issue," Yuri said as a matter of factly. "What is it? Give us some details," Rita said eagerly. "She's incredibly light," Yuri said as he stopped bouncing her, and gave her a tiny squeeze, "despite her figure she's feels pretty tiny too, and it seems like her bones might snap if I squeeze too hard…so in other words, she can't take hits. Do I got that right?"

"Yep! Yuri wins the prize!" I said smirking devilishly at Kairi's expense. Kairi on the other hand looked like she could faint any second though, "Y-Y-Y-Yu-Yu-Yuri…C-C-can-can I…get d-do-down n-now?..." Yuri just ignored her for a second, "Well, now that we know, let's just hope there aren't too many more monsters where it came from." Kairi was shivering already badly, she whined softly looking like she could cry any second, "Y-Yuri….p-p-please put m-me down…." After hearing the 'magic word', he put her down and had to quickly extend his arm to hold her upright as she as she trembled, swayed, and wobbled, trying to get out of her dizzy stupor. Repede stuck to her side to give her some support while Rita seemed to take notes, while I had to fight back my giggles as Kairi complained to me, "Liana…You're too cruel…"

After fighting one basilisk that was in our way, we made our way through the valley of cliffs to reach the all too familiar cliff edge. Everyone stopped, Estelle looked mesmerized, "It's beautiful…" I wasn't going to lie, this scenery was gorgeous, I pulled out my phone and began getting the camera set to take some pictures, videos, and panoramas. As Estelle ran out of the way, Rita walked forward to observe what I was doing, until she caught a glimpse of the scenery and walked ahead, "This is…"

I took so many pictures, it was unreal. "Look, Yuri. It's the ocean," Estelle told Yuri still in awe. "I can see that. …The wind feels great," Yuri said almost breathlessly as he walked up beside her. Kairi smiled at Yuri's reaction, but turned her gaze to focus elsewhere from the pair on the cliff. I smirked as everyone was now in sight, I pulled up the Panorama feature on my phone and began to get a picture of the scenery with everyone in it.

"I've seen pictures in books before, but I've never seen it up close like this," Estelle said happily. "Well. People don't usually travel outside the barriers," Karol stated the obvious reason why people don't see these things, same can be said about Earth, "If we keep going, we can see all sorts of things, like the jungle or the City of Waterfalls…"

"There are so many more things we could learn…if only our journey would continue…" Estelle said wishfully. "I guess it's true… I really was living in a small world," Yuri said, basically bringing up what Hanks said back in the lower quarter.

"That's a rare moment of sincerity, coming from you," Rita said in a slight mocking tone. "It's your first time seeing it too, right?" Karol said in a soft curious tone walking up to her. "Well, yes, but…" Rita said awkwardly. "Aww…You must've had such a lonely life, tied to your research like that," Karol said with a genuinely sad and pitiable tone. (Aww baby boy is as sweet as sugar, too bad he likes Nan, he could do SO MUCH BETTER). "Having you pity me makes me want to jump off this cliff," Rita said a tad irritably.

"This water has traversed the world's oceans, and has seen all there is to see. The ocean binds the lands of our world together…" Estelle said dreamily. I sweat dropped since she was being so corny, even Rita agreed, "Here she goes again. It's really just one big puddle, you know." Karol was a bit fussy that Rita wasn't liking Estelle's speech, "Whatever. You were pretty moved back there, too." Rita raised her hand back to chop him and he covered his head, one look in my direction and she dropped her hand, a tiny pout on her face. "H-huh?" Karol said a bit confused as to why he wasn't getting chopped. (Don't worry, I got you covered…).

"So this is the world as he sees it," Yuri spoke to himself. "Yuri?" Estelle said confused on who he was talking about. "Flynn must have stood on this spot earlier, and looked out at this same scene," Yuri said taking in the scene while thinking. "That's true. His duties do take him to many different places," was Estelle's response. "Always telling me to catch up with him. Easy for him to say," Yuri said smiling a bit.

"Nor Harbor is just around the corner from Ehmead Hill. We'll catch up to him in no time," Karol confidently stated. Yuri just chuckled a second before replying, "That's not what I was talking about." Poor Karol looked stumped, "Huh? What do you mean?" I giggled a bit, "Wait till you get older, you'll get it then." Yuri turned to us, "All right, let's get moving before Leblanc and friends show up again." Karol was about to say where Nor Harbor was, but Yuri began looking around and asked, "Where's Kairi?"

I turned my head where she was earlier, and she wasn't there, in fact, I couldn't see her anywhere, "Uhhh…" Estelle looked about to panic, "Oh no, what if she got into trouble? What if-" I cut off Estelle really fast to keep her from having a heart attack, "Hold on, shut up and give me a second! I'll call her! Kairi! Where are you?! Estelle's going into MOTHER MODE!" A few seconds of silence, and no response, "….KAIRI?!"

"AH! Oh, sorry, I was talking with someone, I didn't hear you. What is it?" I heard Kairi say.

"Talking with someone? Huh? Ugh, whatever, where are you?"

"Elucifer's grave, where else?"

"Well," Rita asked a tad worried that her research subject was missing. "She's up ahead, she found something and got distracted," I replied. At that Repede ran ahead, I had to wonder if he could understand human speech.

Yuri turned to Estelle whose gaze returned to the ocean for a bit, "We'll have plenty more chances to see the ocean. Your journey will continue for as long as you want." Estelle just sighed and turned slightly to Yuri, "…" I really just wanted to slap her right now, no, slug her was more like it (Seriously, it's like she's saying "I can never return here again", bitch you're the mother fucking princess, you got the authority to return here whenever the fuck you want…you just gotta stop being such a fucking pussy and speak up about what you want even if the knights say NO!). "It's all up to you. You've made it this far, haven't you?" Yuri said. "…That's true," Estelle said smiling.

"Last one to Kairi is a rotten egg!" Karol shouted as he began running off towards the cliff edge with me chasing after him. "You're gonna fall if you don't watch out," Yuri called out. Karol stopped at the edge of the cliff and almost slipped, "Gyaaaah!" I quickly grabbed the back of his clothes and pulled him backwards onto the cliff. "Idiot…" I heard Rita say. "What did Yuri say?" I lectured Karol who just chuckled helplessly at me.

-*- Oceans of Earth -*-

Karol: Hey, I didn't get to ask you both. Is it your first time seeing the ocean too Liana?

Liana: Huh? No, I lived in a town that was an hour drive away from South Padre Island, I practically went everyday. And if we visited my aunt in Houston, we'd always go to Galveston, so the ocean was always there.

Estelle: Wow, that must be so nice.

Liana: Well, we moved more north in Texas after I turned 10, and we keep going more north, so the beach and the ocean is too far to go to now a days.

Yuri: …We, huh?

-*- Who is Kairi? 1-*-

Yuri: Hey, Liana.

Liana: Huh?

Yuri: I'd been meaning to ask, just who is Kairi?

Liana: Huh? Kairi is Kairi, what else?

Yuri: No, I mean if she's a friend or related to you. I found it odd that you two could telepathically speak for just being childhood friends. Also, back in Deidon Hold you and Justin had to move away to speak in private not telepathically despite being friends. So it can't be an Earth thing. You also mentioned she'd been with you since you were young, and I find it hard to believe that a friend's parents would just up and move from their home to follow a friend without good reasons, and coincidentally to the same place.

Liana: Hmm…how to phrase this…she lives with me due to family issues…but she's like my second cousin twice removed…

Yuri: …What?

Liana: I don't get family trees, but that's what she is they told me…if she was adopted, they haven't told her or me…

Yuri: …Really?

Liana: …Really...

"Kairi!" Estelle shouted as the brunette came into view sitting on the ground in front of Elucifer's grave with Repede beside her yawning. Kairi turned to us a bit confused, "Huh?" Estelle ran over and kneeled beside her, checking her over, "Did you get hurt? What happened? Why'd you go off without us? You could have been hurt!" Kairi squirmed in Estelle's patting, "I'm fine. I just…got lost in thoughts and…I found myself here talking to this…," she explained as she gazed upon the grave marker softly.

"What's this supposed to be?" Karol asked looking at the rock. "Is it a…grave, perhaps?" Estelle asked a bit wary. "A grave? In a place like this?" Yuri skeptically remarked. "Actually, this is just the type of place I'd expect to see one," Rita said knowingly. "What do you mean?" Karol asked curiously. "You know, like the grave of someone who plotted against the empire…and failed. If you wanted to bury somebody and keep it quiet, you'd want a place like this with no one around," Rita said nodding.

"Though…if that were the case, why bother making a grave at all? Wouldn't it be easier for them to slice that person up and dump them in the ocean or something? Burning them to ashes to leave no evidence and toss 'em away? Bury them in the thick of the woods with no marker what so ever?" I stated my opinion, which earned me lots of uncomfortable looks, "Well sorry, for picking the dark, obvious choices that most evil people would pick! I think logically and madly to figure something, even if it's too dark for people to handle…"

Yuri turned his gaze to the grave, "Huh, wonder if that's what I've got in store for me." Estelle fussed and angrily shouted at Yuri, "Don't say such things…! That isn't funny!" Yuri looked serious a bit, "I wasn't exactly kidding. It's just a fact of life that some folks from the lower quarter never get a funeral or a proper burial." Karol looked confused, "What happens to them, then?" Yuri was pretty straight faced as he explained to the young boy, "They get cremated and have their ashes scattered over a river or a field, usually." (Haha, doesn't sugar coat things at all~) Estelle looked surprised, "Are you telling the truth…?"

Rita looked awkward, uncomfortable, and confused, "How did we get started talking about this, anyway?" Karol turned to the grave, "Cause we're trying to figure what a lone grave is doing in a place like this." Yuri looked confused, "Yeah. So, just who does it belong to…?"

Kairi tenderly put her hand on the grave, "Well, it's no one of bad intentions, I can feel that much…" I jumped back a bit and teased, "Let me guess, you've been possessed by the spirit and brought us all here to deal to us the same fate!" Rita, Karol, and Estelle stiffened up and looked shocked, and the fact that Kairi began giggling uncontrollably loud wasn't helping their reactions or mine.

I looked shocked, "Uh…you are in your right mind, right Kairi?" She waved her hand at me, "I'm good, I just felt a tickle when you said that." I looked blankly at her, "Felt…a tickle?...Can you…talk to ghosts? I know you can talk to Repede, there no hiding that…" (If she can talk to ghosts…I never gave her that ability…her domain over reality must've given it to her…). She looked at me a bit oddly, "Well, no, I can't hear them, or see them, but I just feel something, that's all."

The three were freaking out while Yuri looked a bit startled, "So, you 'feel' dead people?" I turned to Yuri, "Yuri, that sounds wrong, rephrase it…" He waved it off and looked to Kairi, expecting an answer. She looked at him and tried her best to answer, "I don't know…it's like, they try to talk in another way, like…I felt dazed and came here…kind of like they were saying, 'I want to talk'…" Yuri looked at her for a minute before smirking and shrugging, "Well, so long as it doesn't happen all the time. You're pretty vulnerable against attacks, so getting put in a 'daze' and wandering off wouldn't be good at all."

Yuri turned to the others who were backed up pretty far, "Alright, let's keep going, we can leave this mystery behind for now." The others slowly nodded as we all got back into formation, with me and now Kairi, in the center surrounded by the others. The others didn't like it when I peeled off track to get the chests as well as enter into the Gattuso cub area, "I said there had to be more pups somewhere," I declared triumphantly as I raided the chests. The others just wanted to get to Nor Harbor already, but there was gonna be a few more detours I knew.

"What's this…?" Rita said as we entered the end of the trail into the other side of the road. She was staring at a medium sized bag in the middle of the road and Karol recognized it immediately, "Oh, that's a camping set! With this, you can set up camp and sleep without having to go to an inn easy!" Rita looked pleased and turned to Karol, "Oh, that's nice! Now you can go off and play nature boy whenever we sleep at an inn, and we'll save money, too!" Karol looked a bit hurt and shocked, "Wh-what are you talking about? Camping sets are single-use only!"

"Rita, don't be so mean!" Estelle fussed as I nodded, "Yeah, for once leave baby boy alone, seriously!" Karol just sweat dropped and gave up trying to argue about me calling him baby boy, while Rita turned away crossing her arms, "Hmph!"

"That sounds really useful, Karol," Yuri said slightly praising Karol to lift his spirits. "Yeah, they're essential when you're on the road," Karol said happily, and began letting his knowledge on the item flow, "In addition to camping sets, you could also sleep on mats. But camping sets are really the best thing to use. You can't get a better night's sleep with anything else!"

Estelle looked absolutely relieved, "What wonderful timing! All of you look so exhausted from climbing…" Rita seemed to sweat drop, "…You look pretty pooped, yourself." Yuri looked around, "Yeah, we've got a ways to go before we get to town, too. Maybe we should set up camp here?" Karol looked like he'd second that vote, "Alright, I'll get everything set up! Oh, once you've camped somewhere, you won't be able to camp around there for a while afterwards," he suddenly explained his forgotten fact.

"Why's that?" Yuri asked curiously. "After camping at a certain site, the basic barrier that's included in the camping set will stop being effective for a while, so long as you're near the site," Karol explained.

"Basic barrier? What's that? There's no blastia like that," Rita said grumpily and interested in one. Karol turned to her and answered, "It's not a blastia, actually. It's just something that gives off a smell that monsters find unpleasant. That's why they call it a 'barrier'. It can keep the monsters at bay for a night, but after enough time passes, the monsters get used to the smell, and it won't keep you safe anymore."

"Hmmm…That makes sense…," Rita said in thought. "Well then, we'll leave the setup to you, Karol," Yuri told the boy. Karol looked happy to be relied on, but seemed to realize something, "All right. Let's set up camp a little bit further." Yuri looked confused, "Why further?" I tilted my head and gave him a dumb stare, "You seriously want to set up camp in the middle of the road, with knights and Leblanc around who may find us…monsters it can keep at bay, but them?" Everyone seemed to realize what Karol and I were getting at. "Good idea, let's set it up further ahead," Yuri replied. I rubbed Karol's hair affectionately, "Very smart, Karol. You actually thought that through rather than going with the flow." He chuckled a bit at the flattery, but seemed to stare a bit surprised as I had called him by his name and not 'baby boy' that time.

We all agreed and headed on further until Rita just seemed to dash back to check on the blastia. Estelle and Karol followed after her, while Yuri just sighed, "Where is she going?" I shrugged, "To check on the blastia I guess, you should go make sure she's ok, Kairi and I can stay here with Repede." He turned to me with his 'are you kidding me' poker face, "And you're just as much a trouble maker as she is, yet you want me to leave you to yourself." I pouted, "Which is why we're with Repede, we'll be fine waiting here, besides, I need to change...and I don't think you'd want to see that…" Yuri looked awkwardly at me as I grabbed stuff out of my bag, but he still stood there…until he saw me reach my hands behind and under the dress of my skirt and he turned around, "Okay, okay, I'll go check on them, but you two better stay put with Repede, and Repede, keep them in place." I saluted, "Aye aye, Capitan!" Repede just woofed as if to say 'Roger!'

After a nice change of pampers, and burying my dirty pamper in the woods, I saw the other's heading back, and once together, we all headed towards Nor Harbor.

We were close to getting there, but everyone wanted to set up camp. (We're so close, why can't we just go a bit more in!). As if hearing my complaint, the sky darkened, and it began to pour heavily. "Ugh, I'm getting soaked, if we sleep like this we're definitely gonna catch a cold!" I pouted as I held out my wet sagging sleeves. Everyone looked in thought and as if we were all telepathically linked, we all made a dash towards the harbor.

Once we reached the entrance Yuri looked up at the sky, "Man, the weather sure changed in a hurry." Karol looked over at Yuri, "Let's find an inn so we can all shower up before we catch cold." We all began walking in, except for Estelle who was just staring around. "Estelle, what is it?" Yuri asked. Estelle turned to us with a bit of shock from being in thought, but spoke disappointedly, "Oh, I-I just thought a harbor town would be more…lively than this."

"Yeah, this isn't exactly how I imagined it either…" Yuri agreed. "But it feels like the kind of place that core thief you're looking for would hang out," Rita said obviously. "Yeah, it's all dark, creepy, and scummy looking," I said a bit wary, grabbing onto Yuri's sleeve due to the thunder, though he probably thinks it's due to how dark it's getting. "Dedecchi was headed for Torim Harbor," Yuri corrected us. "I'm sure the two are pretty similar," Rita said unconvinced.

"No way. It's only Nor Harbor that's scummy like this," Karol said a tiny bit upset. "What do you mean?" Estelle asked curiously. "Nor Harbor is… It's all because of the empire," Karol pouted. "Why am I not surprised? The government fucks up anything where they go, empires are even worse…" I stated as I began to shiver with how cold I was, and in anger at the scene happening in front of us.

"I told you what would happen to that little brat if you didn't have our money!"

We all looked to see Teagle and his wife on the ground, Teagle pressed his head into the concrete and began to beg, "Please, sir! Not that! Please give me back my son! With this awful weather the last few months, we haven't been able to launch the boats. Surely you realize sir, we can't hope to pay our taxes like this."

"You'd better hurry up and capture that Rhybgaro beast then, shouldn't you?" The guildsman said mockingly. "That's right. If you sell his horn, you'll never have to worry about taxes again. How many times do we have to tell you?" The cheeky looking government guy said mockingly also. They both turned to walk away and I began walking at them until Yuri grabbed my hair, "Ow! Hey C'mon, let me at them! I'll make them regret living this very instant! I'll make sure they see stars, no, I'll make sure they only see red for the rest of their lives!" I pouted and fussed, struggling to get out of Yuri's grip. "Down, firecracker, down," Yuri chuckled as he continued to yank me back until they were no longer in sight and let me go.

"Savages…" Rita said angrily, kinda glaring at Yuri for holding me back. "Is that the sort of scum you were talking about, Karol?" Yuri said angrily too. Karol turned over, "Yeah. The empire's influence is really strong here. I heard things got even worse with the new magistrate. He's some imperial big shot who does whatever he wants." Rita crossed her arms and looked frustrated, "Which means there's no one to complain to if his henchmen act like that."

Yuri just turned away and groaned in frustration, as Estelle looked bewildered, "But how can that be…?" (Well…let's see….you all have some stupid rule that only one who holds the imperial treasure can be the ruler….why the hell is your succession depending on that?! I would've abolished the hell out of the system and started from scratch using some of the existing laws, while rewriting new ones!). I noticed Yuri going over to the wall as Teagle got up, his wife shouting at him, "That's enough! You're hurt…You might even get yourself killed this time!"

"But it's out son! If I don't go…" at that Teagle took on a grim look and began dashing, not noticing Yuri's outstretched foot. He tripped on it and landed splendidly on the ground, no seriously, I'll give that a 8 out of 10 for actually falling face first and somehow twisting in midair to land on his butt, "Oow…What are you trying to do?!" Yuri looked away, "Oh, sorry about that. Didn't see you there."

Teagle's wife ran to his side and Estelle ran over and knelt beside him, pouting at Yuri, "Yuri! …My apologies, sir. Let me take care of that." A bright light and ring, and Teagle was healed, his wife looked baffled, but worried, "B-but I… I can't afford this treatment…" Yuri looked a bit curiously at them, "Don't you have something else to say?" Teagle's wife and Estelle looked up at Yuri in shock, "Huh…?" Yuri looked in shock back at them before resuming his poker face, "Jeez…you guys been robbed of your manners along with your money?" Teagle's wife got up and bowed to Estelle, "…I-I'm sorry. Thank you most kindly." I smirked happily, "No worries, Estelle and Kairi's healings are guaranteed 100% free."

I noticed movement out of the corner of my eyes and so did Kairi. "…" Yuri saw that we had seen and gave us a strict look that said, 'oh no, you stay here'. I looked pouty, but nodded as did Kairi, and he wandered off to the alleyway where the assassins were waiting. Teagle managed to stand up and Karol quickly noticed Yuri was missing, "Huh…? Yuri?" Everyone looked around and I decided to break things before we split up on a search, "He's a big boy, Repede's not worried, he probably just went on a walk. Let's get to the inn and get set to shower and change, before we ca-" As if on cue, Kairi sneezed loudly, I finished my sentence, "catch a cold… see, now let's get going."

Teagle's wife and Teagle began to lead us to the inn, but Kairi was walking towards the alleyway, "Kairi!" She turned to me with a worried sick look, "But what if something happens to him, I have to make sure he's okay! I'll never forgive myself if anything happens to him because we changed the story!" I kinda agreed with her and we were about to get to the alley until a blur of blue/ yellow ran past us. Flynn was rushing to save the day!

Clang of metal on metal was ringing throughout the alley, and once it stopped with a loud crash and another clang, we peeped in from the corner to see Flynn attacking Yuri. "So, be a little more happy then. And stop pointing that thing at me," Yuri said complaining to Flynn. Flynn drove his sword into a paper on the wall, "Well I got a little less happy when I saw this!" Yuri looked proud, and even sounded proud, "Hey, it's up to 10,000 Gald. Nice," until his eyes went wide, "Whoa…How'd Liana get to 45,000 gald?"

I sweat dropped and fell over against the wall, just how many lies were those damn Knights telling about me to make it go up THAT much?! "I didn't think when you quit the knights that you'd take up a life of crime," Flynn said angrily. "A lot of things happened, Flynn. It's not that simple," Yuri said, no longer wanting to really speak to the Knight. I noticed movement behind the two and Kairi began beating me to the punch and began charging snap cast and firebolt. "Simple or not, a crime is a crime," Flynn said angrily as a bolt of fire quickly past by his head to hit the assassin that was stealthily coming in behind them, making him crash further into the pile of boxes.

Kairi was in the center of the alleyway entrance and ran to hide behind the corner, peaking out when she noticed the two saw her, her cheeks pink as she peeped on the two. "Wow, Kairi," I was still peeping out, but looking down at Kairi, "Be a little more prideful, say, yeah I saved your asses, give me praise."

"You two! You're the women in the wanted posters," Flynn shouted. "And that you can tell because of the poster makes me want to hit you," I pouted angrily at him for the oblivious insult, I didn't dislike him, but I wasn't gonna like him for a WHILE…

Oh my god, we finally got to Flynn! Huzzah!
