::Big Time Final Fantasy::
-Ep.12: Big Time Double Trouble Dates-
First a look-back at all that happened in Big Time Final Fantasy…
Big Time Rush ends up in Cornelia and goes on their first adventure in a rescue mission to save the Cornelian princess Sara from Garland. It is at this point that they learn that they will not be going home yet, as Garland hinted at their arrival and their purpose in the Final Fantasy. Meanwhile, the Heroes of Light and the Villains of Darkness (all the characters from the first Dissidia Final Fantasy) learn of Big Time Rush arrival to the Final Fantasy. The Heroes go on the mission to protect the guys, while at the same time, delaying them from knowing their true destinies too soon, while the Villains plot to control the guys and their destinies into the darkness' favor.
Traveling alongside a white mage named Tina and her chocobo Chocolate, the enigmatic Magick Sisters, and Axel the multi-weapon specialist (from KHIII Online HD) on board the Big Time Airship, giving to them by King Cornelia, the guys traveled the Final Fantasy skies until they finally learn of their true destiny from the Dragon King Bahamut: the guys shall use their Crystals to ultimately destroy Darkness, but this will eventually put an end to Light as well, as Light cannot survive without Darkness, thus calling on the end of all Universe and eventually the beginning of a New World. The guys were upset about the outcome but had no choice but to go for it.
Ultimately the guys' meeting with the Dragon angered the god of discord, pushing him over the edge. He sends his army to invade Cosmos' Sanctuary, killing her in the process, and summoning Chaos Demons to invade the Big Time Airship, ultimately splitting up the entire group.
The guys finally reunited in Ivalice, and joined force with the 012 Heroes of Cosmos (from Dissidia Duodecim) who were revived the moment the Warriors of Light showed up. The group joined force to stop a planned assassination against three royals, engineered by one of these royals who happen to be a dark emperor seeking the resurrection of the fearful Thirteenth Crystal. The group thwarted the dark emperor plan and later met with the Warriors of Cosmos, who deliver news on Cosmos' fate.
Now it is up to the Warriors of Cosmos, and Big Time Rush—newly acquainted as the Four Warriors of Light—to find a way to restore Cosmos and proceed on their quest to end the war between the two gods. Could such task get any harder?
[Uh-Oh! Uhoh! Ohhh!]
Ep.12 – Big Time Double Trouble Dates
xXx
She couldn't believe what she saw, stepping, grazing onto the barren wasteland of burning charcoal; under the scorching heat, the foggy atmosphere of the Underworld. She had come too late. Face-to-face with all of her friends.
Cosmos's Warriors and the Four Warriors of Light had fought the final battle bravely, valiantly. She thought it was over and done with. But she was wrong. Their bodies—their wounded flesh—took a sudden transformation.
Their eyes have glittered eerily; the moist air had left their skins. She thought it was the atmosphere, but a dry heat such as the Underworld couldn't do such thing she feared. Only magic did. A dark form of magic. And she was very afraid. Scared stiff. In deep mourning.
Her friends have turned into statues. Each and every one of them. But her beloved best friends—the cheerful foursome destined to defeat Chaos—was different. The Warriors of Light known as Big Time Rush—Logan, Carlos, James and Kendall. They were all in Crystal Stasis.
She silently wept as she laid a hand on the now silk crystallized skin of Logan before her. She slowly passed by James and Carlos, giving them one last look. The look on their faces before their final moment was a terrifying look. They too did not see that coming. And neither did she? How could she not have seen that coming? Her bestest friends turning into Crystal? Doesn't give a crap if the legend says otherwise that when one enter Crystal Stasis they gain eternal life! It was less than a blessing but a curse!
She then turned to Kendall's Crystal Stasis. She approached him, laid a hand on his chiseled chest. A tear streamed down her cheek. She whispered something faintly; something heartfelt—in her elfin tongue—she once too many times had trouble saying it to his face before, when he was still living.
Suddenly his crystal body suddenly shimmer a red-orange glow from within his heart. The glow spread across from limb to limb. Eventually it took over his entire body in a blinding sight. She looked away, shutting her eyes… … …
xXx
"Tina!"
Tina gasped at the call of her name. She turned to Kendall who had called her and lo, he was still alive! Breathing! James, Carlos, Logan and the following Warriors of Cosmos—Tidus, Cloud, Cecil, Firion and Lightning—were there also! All living and breathing!
She blinked, quickly noticing her surroundings. She was in her cabin on board the S.S BTR, the Big Time Rush Cruise Airship won by the heroes after saving Ivalice couple of months ago. She let out a deep breath. It was all a dream. "Ohh my gosh…"
"Are you okay?" James asked her with a puzzling look.
She smiled, "Ohh, I'm okay!" she cheered, "I'm MORE than okay!"
She leapt off her bed, "You guys have no idea how happy I am to see you!" she grabbed and hugged a startled Kendall tightly, "Whoa, HEEY! Take it easy!"
"Whoa, somebody's been in a hangover." Tidus joked.
"I don't care what you call it." Tina exclaimed, still smiling, "I just had this terrible dream and I do NOT want it to happen to any one of you."
"What's the dream about?" Logan asked.
Tina tossed her hand dismissively. "Doesn't matter anymore." She went for her drawers.
"Oh good." Carlos let out a sigh of relief, " 'Cause you were out like a light for the past 14 hours; and we thought that was because you just found out about your sister Lilina who broke into the Airship to steal valuables stuffs. But that doesn't matter anymore now right?"
Tina whizzed her head toward Carlos, "What?"
"CARLOS!" everyone shouted, with Cloud back-slapping his head. "Ow…" he cringed at his comrades, "What? It's true!"
The guys turned to Tina who looked frozen in place, like someone hit the Pause button on her. They waved their hands over to her face, but she didn't budge.
"She is still alive, right?" James asked.
xXx
In the SS BTR's grand lobby, by the waiting area where they were large ceiling-to-floor windows overlooking the blue sunshine skies, Warrior of Light Arus was with Onion Knight Luneth, Bartz, Terra, and Squall. They appeared to be edgy.
"The Thirteenth Crystal?" Squall said to Arus who nodded in response, "You mean the same Thirteenth Crystal that's been terrorizing the Final Fantasy universe… and us Warriors of Cosmos, for centuries?"
"Seems that the Emperor Artemis has relocated and is concocting a plan to bring it back." Arus said, "But this time with a brand-new way to do so."
"In what way?" Luneth asked.
"With a crossroad of interdimensional rifts through space-time continuum known as the Historia Crux." Arus said, "In order to navigate it, we need to find a Time Portal. Now I don't know where we can find a Time Gate, but if we do, we need to get Big Time Rush involved somehow. They're the only ones who can—!"
He paused, taking notice of a commotion coming their way. All heads turned to the commotion. It was Kendall, Logan, Chocolate, and Tina.
"Tina looks upset." Terra commented, judging the distressed look on the white mage's face.
"I can't believe this Lilina." Tina exclaimed, stomping angrily, "I can't believe my sister! When will she learn?" her voice rose.
"Just calm down Tina." Logan tried to reassure her, but he only got her more upset.
"Calm down?" she bawled, "Lilina has been my big sister for as long as I could remember. I've been looking up to her. Idolizing her. Trying to follow her footsteps. But all she does are either annoying, sheer stupidity or doesn't make any sense at all! She's lazy, she's condescending, she's repulsive and she's selfish! Everytime I try talking to her, she acts like a mean and nasty bully and treats me with no respect! Even when our parents were still with us! She doesn't even communicate with me when we're in the same room with each other! Did you know she failed her Red Magick classes as Suzaku twelve times? I ended up graduating before her!"
Tina's chest heaved up and down, her breathing shallow and exhausted. Kendall, Logan, Chocolate, Arus, Luneth, Terra and Squall all exchanged glances.
"That's a lot of stuff about a sister to digest." Logan whispered to Kendall and Chocolate who both nodded on cue.
"Come on, Tina." Luneth approached her, "Your sister can't be that bad."
"You know what I think!" Lilina menacingly pointed her staff at Luneth who jumped back to his seat, startled, "I think she stole all of that stuff either because she needs money OR she doesn't know the items belonged to her. And knowing my sister, I think it's both."
"Are you talking about me behind my back?" a female voice spoke from behind Tina. She frowned upon recognizing that voice. She and the rest of the gang turned around to see her. She had blond hair with red highlights, carried the same babyface look as Tina, but more mature, wore a red spellblade outfit with fluffy white collar, matching red trousers, and white high heels. She had her arm crossed and her eyes narrowed.
Tina also crossed her arms, "Yes, Lilina. I was talking about you."
"Whoa—! THAT'S your sister?" Kendall exclaimed, not able to take his eyes off her.
"The very one I regret having."
Lilina passed right by Tina like she was a complete stranger and closed in on Kendall and Logan, "Oh, so you must be the famous Warriors of Light. Kendall and Logan…" she looked around for James and Carlos, "…and those other two guys…y'all have some fancy nickname too. What was it?"
"Lilina. It's Big Time Rush." Tina grumbled.
"I think it has something to do with some fast-speed racing thing with the clock…"
"Lilina…?"
"…and it's big…"
"I heard you've been stealing…!"
"…like a big donut with a clock…"
"Are you even listening to a thing I say?"
"Ah, doesn't even matter. So, you're new and handsome…!" she squeezed Kendall's cheeks together.
"I'm telling Mom you're not listening to me!"
"…and quite pale too." She then squeezed Logan's cheeks, "You guys really need a makeover."
"As usual!"
"A little Marlboro Oil on the skin would be nice."
"AAAUGH!" Tina exploded, "You know WHAT Lilina—! I'm so sick and tired of you treating me this—!"
"Oh what's that?" Lilina stretched her ear tauntingly toward Tina, "Uhh… what'chu say? Blah-blah-blah. You talk too much, Tinnie."
"Don't… call me that!"
"Y'know, for your information, what I do is none of your business, yah?"
"Err… Lilina?" Logan said to the Spellblade, "It is kind of a serious business. You can't steal from all those people here on the ship. It's a felony."
Lilina stared impressively at Logan, "Why, aren't you a smart person…"
Logan grinned from ear to ear, "Why, thank you. Planning to become a doctor."
"Dude!" Kendall clapped hard in front of Logan's face, "Focus!" he exclaimed before facing Lilina, "Look Lilina, what you're doing is a crime!"
"And here on this ship we don't tolerate crimes." Said Arus, "And because of your action I'm afraid that we're going to have to take you to custody by the name of our fellow Goddess." He then called out, "Guards!"
And immediately a couple soldiers on duty to the ship arrived at the scene and surrounded the stunned Lilina, "Aww, really?"
"Sorry, consequences." Said Arus.
"HA! See what you did, sis?" Tina said, almost in a gloating manner, "If you'd have listened to me…!"
"Oh, what's that?" Lilina peered over Tina's head before pulling something shiny from underneath the scalps. Tina squealed in pain. Lilina dangled on her two little fingers a golden necklace, "Oops. Looks like I'm not the only thief in the bunch now huh?"
"That's a missing pendant from a passenger!" Terra recognized it, stunned.
"Wait… Tina. You STOLE a pendant?" Luneth exclaimed before everyone else turned to her, stunned and in shocked by that revelation.
"What…? N-NO!" Tina whirled to Lilina, "Where did you get this?"
"Where did you get this?" Lilina snapped back, "Not from another passenger I presumed? If this ship goes down, I'm taking down the iceberg with me too."
"WHY YOU—!" Tina was about to pounce on her sister when Arus and Kendall quickly pulled her away. Logan and Squall restrained Lilina from making any defensive moves. "Okay!" Kendall exclaimed, "I think it's time for you two to get a time-out."
"Time-out?" Tina and Lilina exclaimed.
"Yeah, time-out as in you're going to airship jail." Logan said.
"Let's go ladies." Squall ordered and the gang escorted the two struggling ladies; appalled they started barking and complaining at each other for their rights.
xXx
Carlos paced back and forth at the Sky Saloon. He finally saw James coming with a young man who had dark-brown hair, and sported some kind of samurai baggy outfit.
"What took you so long?" Carlos addressed James, "Fate is gonna be here any minute."
"Sorry about the wait buddy. I got lost in the way." James implied, before noticing Carlos's outfit: a black blazer jacket over a fancy white dress shirt, dress pants and polished dress shoes, "Ooh. You're looking spiffy, buddy."
"…yeah, but I'm nervous." Carlos replied, "I've never dated before. Let alone a double date. See, Fate and I have been talking recently… about how we both haven't had a serious relationship before. So we got to talking and we decided that we—!"
"—set each other up on blind double dates so that none of you'll be sitting alone with pints of ice cream on your laps in the end. How touching." James said, "But at least somebody knows how to dress up." When he said that he glared at the young man besides him. The young man lifted his hands up as if backing off, "Hey, sorry for bumming you out man." he said, "Didn't know it was formal."
"I did tell you that."
"Really?" the young man raised an eyebrow, "I thought you were talking about yourself looking good in formal."
James looked up dreamily, "...yeah... I do look good in formal." on cue he does the face. Both Carlos and the young man rolled their eyes.
"Anyway," Carlos offered the young man a handshake, "I'm Carlos! Carlos Garcia!"
"Nice to meet you! I'm Noel. Noel Kreiss. I'm a friend of Lightning…" he paused, "Well, Lightning's sister technically."
"Noel huh?" Carlos said, "Well, Fate is on her way. You're gonna love her. She's funny, talented, and hot! She's the total catch!"
"Sweet!" Noel replied, "Can't wait to meet her."
Fate came in the scene as well, along with Valerie and a striking pink-haired girl sporting a pink and white outfit.
"Oh good! You're here." Fate grinned at Carlos.
"James?" Valerie suddenly got tensed, "Wh-what are you doing here?" she said mirthlessly.
James stood there, mouth half opened for a while. He then shook his head and quickly crossed his arms, "I was… ahem… I was just about to ask you the same thing." His eyes narrowed.
Valerie's eyes widened and twitched.
"Are you helping Carlos get Fate a date?" she said.
"What?" Fate gasped.
"Are you helping Fate get Carlos a date?" James countered.
"Huh?" Carlos exclaimed.
"…Okay, you know what, party poopers." Fate addressed both Valerie and James, "Why don't you go your separate ways and go spoil someone else's fun, huh?"
After a good staring, Valerie and James quickly walked away, head flushing pink.
Fate smiled at the sight of Noel, "Well Carlos. Looks like you were right after all…" She then pulled Carlos away to whisper, "…he looks fine!"
Fate waved at him. Noel waved back, his eyes vacant, as if staring in space. Fate could sense he was checking her out and that made her squeal of giddiness. "EEEP!"
"Oh, ho! Sweet! Thanks!" Carlos smiled broadly. "So…" he then looked up to the girl and smiled, "Is she my date?"
The girl stared back, her eyes also vacant, as if staring in space. Carlos could feel her gentle arms wrapped around his soft muscular body and that made him jolt like fire ignited all his nerves. He too felt like squealing.
"Yep." Fate replied, "Her name's Serah Farron. She's Lightning's sister!"
Carlos whipped his head toward Fate in utter shock. But Fate failed to notice, "Serah, this is Carlos, my buddy!" she slammed Carlos's back on cue with her hand. Carlos flinched, "Ow... w-wait. What?"
"You…" both Noel and Serah said simultaneously.
Fate's smile faded, "…wait. You two know each other?"
Carlos pulled Fate asides, "Of course they know each other!" he hissed, "Noel is HER friend! And BOTH of them know LIGHTNING!"
Fate's eyes widened, "WHAT?" she and Carlos glared back at the duo who couldn't keep their eyes off each other, mesmerized. They smiled, giggled. Serah flipped her hair to one side. Noel winked a couple of times.
"…wow." he breathed, "Serah, you look… beautiful."
Serah blushed with her chin on one shoulder, "…th…thanks." she paused, "I didn't know you were on this ship."
Noel was about to respond but Carlos stepped in front, blocking his view, "Why, hello there sweet thang!" he smiled at Serah.
Serah and Noel startled. Serah refocused and quickly replied to Carlos, "Oh! H-hi…"
Awkward pause. Serah shrugged, "Sooo… you… must be… Carlos Garcia?" she asked.
"The one and only." Carlos replied, "Now who else would I be?"
"…teehee…" Serah nervously giggled. "…someone else…" Noel giggled nervously as well. Both Carlos and Fate returned the nervous giggle, watching a romance unfolding before them from the sidelines. They didn't like it.
"So what's so funny?" Fate gritted her teeth.
"Oh, nuttin'" Noel threw a dismissive hand, still laughing along.
xXx
"You were so setting up Carlos with a hot girl!" James shouted at Valerie.
"No I'm not."
"Stop denying it!"
"I'm not denying anything!"
"Yes, you are!"
"No I'm not!"
The duo arrived on the ship's sky deck when Valerie stopped walking. She turned to James. "Fine." She said, "Just admit that YOU were setting up Fate with a hot guy and we can drop this whole discussion behind."
James crossed his arms, "I don't know what you're talking about." He looked away.
"Oh yeah?"
"Uh-huh."
"Then what's that sweat dripping on your forehead?"
"IT'S HOT, OKAY?"
Valerie jumped back. "Stop yelling at me!"
James quickly composed himself, "Okay… sorry. I won't yell again."
Valerie wiped a tear off her eyes.
James caught a glimpse of an item behind Valerie. It was long and had a sharp blade at the end. "Hey, what's this?" he went to pick it up. Valerie noticed the item also.
"It's a lance." She gasped.
"Looks like…" James examined the lance, "…Jack's lance." He shrugged, "He must have forgotten it."
"Forgotten it?" Valerie exclaimed, "How could he forget his lance in here? He would never leave his lance behind!" she glanced back at James with a worried look in her eyes, "This was no accident."
"You're right." James said, "This was no accident."
He paused, narrowing his eyes, "wait… how is that NOT an accident?"
Valerie sighed, "Wish Aria was here." She said, "Too bad she's in Eorzea on a sidequest. She'll tell us what to do."
"But the others will." James proposed, "Come on, let's go find them."
xXx
Tina moped from inside her jail cell, sitting on the cold concrete bench. Kendall was with her on the other side of the bars.
"Tina. You should really work on your relationship with your sister." He said to her, "And also, you should really work on your anger issues and cut those nails of yours. You're like Gustavo on steroids…with claws..."
He and Tina then turned to Logan who came in with claw marks, bruises and torn clothing. Logan glared at Tina.
"…in a cat costume." Kendall finished.
"That was my favorite shirt!" Logan barked at Tina.
Tina bit her lower lips, "Sorry, Logan." She sulked. "But you don't understand, it's Lilina! My sister! Her bark is worse than her bite!"
"But not as worse as your CLAW MARKS!" Logan hissed.
"Which is why I've decided to settle this sisterly dispute once and for all." Kendall said.
At that moment, Warrior of Light Arus came in to the jail room with a key. Kendall and Logan stepped back, giving him room. Arus unlocked the jail cell and slid it open. "You're free to go."
Tina stood up, "I am?"
"But on probation." Arus countered.
Tina raised an eyebrow, "Probation?"
Squall, Firion, Cloud and Cecil came in to the jail room as well, escorting Lilina with them. Lilina and Tina stopped, exchanged glares.
"Ugh… you again." Tina growled.
"No chiz." Lilina rolled her eyes.
"But you know what?" Tina said, "I'm not gonna let you ruin my day here on this ship. And I'll do that by staying away from you as far away as possible." She started walking out of her jail cell when Arus blocked her path with his arm, "Uhh, yeah, no. I don't think so."
"What?"
"That's the whole point of the probation you're in." Arus said, "You and Lilina will have to work out your differences through therapy."
"Therapy?" the girls repeated.
"I booked the two of you an appointment with a very serious family counselor on the Sky Deck of this ship." Kendall handed Tina and Lilina pink appointment slips with the information of the therapy on it, "He's a genius. And he's been healing family strifes and marriages for… almost two years."
Tina and Lilina stared at their slips then at each other, then back at Kendall.
"Axel Joedo?" Lilina repeated.
"He is our family counselor?" Tina exclaimed.
"What kind of a joke is this?"
"Oh, that's no joke." "He really is good." Cecil, Firion and Squall replied in unison.
"Sorry but I ain't seeing no therapist, so." Lilina tossed her slip over and started walking, "…see ya."
"Logan." Kendall called his friend and Logan pointed at Lilina. A jolt of lightning coursed through Lilina's body and quickly a powerful force yanked her by the arm straight toward Tina. The girls suddenly felt their wrists bounded by metal handcuffs.
"HEEYY!" the girls hissed.
"Nobody is going anywhere until YOU two settle your differences!" Logan said.
"How about I settle a difference on your FACE?" Tina roared, charging for Kendall and Logan. The guys freaked out. The wrist cuffs quickly yanked Tina back to her sister's personal space before she could grab the guys.
"Phew, that was close!" Kendall sighed.
"She's a beeaast…" Logan whimpered.
"All right you two." Firion approached the girls and so did Arus, Squall and Cecil, "Time for your probation."
"Unless you want to spend the rest of your lives behind bars, I'd suggest you behave." Squall warned.
"How about I give you a taste of my behavior?" Tina hissed.
"I have a gunblade." Squall threatened. "Don't test me."
Tina subdued herself.
"See," Lilina said, "It's trash talk like that that makes me uncomfortable whenever I'm around that woman."
"So I'm making you uncomfortable huh?" Tina giggled evilly, "Oh wait till I'm off my handcuffs!"
"Let's go ladies!" Cecil ordered and once again the girls were verbally going at it as they were being dragged out of the jail room.
"This is why I'm not looking forward to marriage." Logan said to Kendall.
"You got that right." Kendall nodded.
xXx
"Kupo! Today's Tuesday, so this means we're calling on our Tuesday Special," A Moogle waved his clock staff in a zigzag circular motion and a huge feast appeared on the table besides Carlos, Fate, Noel, and Serah.
"Cockatrice Meat dripped in orange juice, with spicy Dragon soup with a peanut sauce mix and tropical Pineapple Juice to the side. And for dessert: delicious Ambrosia and a platter of Wizard Cookies. If you want the ability to teleport people or yourself today, I'd recommend the sugar-flavored ones, Kupo."
"Ooh! Wizard Cookies!" Carlos clapped his hands excitedly before scooping an armful of them to his plate.
"Err…" Serah timidly cleared her throat, "Thanks… Mogshu… but uhh… I don't eat Cockatrice. I'm a vegeterian."
"Yeah, she is." Noel agreed with her.
Carlos stared at his date with his mouth full of cookies. Fate frowned, "Vegetarian? Since when?"
"Since our last quest at Gran Pulse." Noel said before turning to Serah, "I remember it very well."
Serah giggled from ear to ear. "Yeah…" Noel laughed along.
"SO!" Fate yanked Noel off Serah, keeping him close to her chest, "Tell me more about that time at Grand Pulse! Because Carlos and I once had the greatest adventure yet."
"We did?" Carlos looked puzzled.
Fate tossed him a frowning glare. Carlos forced a grin, "I… I mean, we did!"
"So you guys are a couple?" Serah asked.
Fate whipped her head back at Serah, eyes squinting with resent, "NOOO!" she fanned a finger at herself and Noel, "WEEE ARE!"
"Oh." Serah uttered.
"I mean… why would you veggie heads think that Carlos and I are on a date?" she exclaimed.
"Yeah…" Carlos agreed, his teeth masticating the cookie crumbs, "…You can't possibly be thinking that two people of the opposite sex on adventures together can actually hook up now do you?"
"Whaaaaaa?" Noel and Serah quickly shouted in denial, "Nooooo! Of course not!"
"That's madness!" Serah exclaimed.
"That's creepy…" Noel added.
"That's so hot."
"ohh…so…hot… like… …" Noel paused, staring back at Serah, almost losing his breath, "…yeah."
Awkward silence. Carlos and Fate couldn't stop staring at Noel and Serah who couldn't stop staring at each other enamored. Carlos leaned toward Fate, "Is it just me, or did we ended up matchmaking two wrong people?"
Fate shook her head, "They're just friends. It's just a phase. It doesn't mean they really like each other."
"And besides," she went on, "Serah once had a serious relationship before with muscle-licious tall blond and handsome Snow Villiers like… for almost five…seven years."
Carlos whipped his head back at Fate, "Wha—! YEARS?" his squeal almost made Fate jump out of her skin.
"Yeah but it's no big deal, right…?" Fate grimaced, "They once even got engaged. No one knows what happen though, but rumor has it he cheated on her and they broke up."
"You never told me that!" Carlos hissed.
Fate blinked back at her friend, "I didn't?" she exclaimed, "Huh! Guess it slipped my mind."
Carlos collapsed to his seat, gaped.
xXx
Tina and Lilina stared at Axel, who stared back at the two sisters. Axel appeared uncomfortable. The two sisters sulked on the white cottonweed sofa in waiting… impatiently waiting.
Axel twisted his lips to the side and feigned a faint sputter with his tongue. "Sooo…" he prolonged.
The two girls glanced at each other once again before facing their therapist.
"…I'm thinking that you girls are my… assignments." He leaned over, deeply staring at them with a puzzled facade, "…are you two like… together?"
"Yeah, we're together." Tina replied before glaring back at her sister from one eye's corner, "Unfortunately."
Lilina rolled her eyes.
"No kiddin'." Axel whispered. He sulked back to his sofa and scribbled furiously on his notepad.
"Look Mr. Joedo…" Lilina spoke, "With all due respect—!"
"You call him Mr. Joedo?" Tina interjected.
Lilina resentfully glared back at her sister, "So what you want me to call him, Axel Man?"
Tina shrugged, "I dunno. I mean, you have no problem calling our mom and dad by their first names!"
"They like it!" Lilina barked.
"Wait, sorry to interrupt." Axel arched back up on his seat, "So tell me more about…" he fanned his pen to and fro at the two sisters, "how did you two… you know…" he grinned perversely.
Tina and Lilina grimaced, "How did we two… what?" Lilina asked.
Axel's sly smile expanded, "…duh… meet?"
"Err…when we got out of our mother's womb?" Tina said sarcastically. Now Axel squinted, puzzled as ever.
"I'm the first one!" Lilina trumpeted, hand raised.
"Yeah, we know!" Tina interjected again.
"Y'know, I'd appreciate it if you stop interrupting me when I talk!" Lilina barked.
Ignoring Lilina, Tina leaned toward Axel, "Y'know the stuffs that she does that really annoys me?"
"Heeere we go." Lilina tossed her hands in the air and sulked. Tina went on, "She goes around looking for guys to jump on!"
Axel raised an eyebrow. He glanced back at Lilina who winked at him and flirtatiously pursed her lips. Axel turned back to Tina who kept on talking, "…and it's not just that she's looking for any guys. She uses her Red Magic! The magic that she's supposed to be using to do good things in her life… but instead she uses it to drag men into her bed of spider webs!"
"A cheater…" Axel whispered, feeling his blood pressure rising.
"And it's not just that! She steals from people! Just recently she stole a bunch of stuffs from this ship and framed me for it!"
"Oh honey, I framed you for a whole bunch of other stuffs." Lilina said, leisurely scratching her teeth, "Remember your trip to Ivalice?"
Axel and Tina all turned to Lilina. "What are you talking about?" Tina asked, her voice got lowered deep.
"Hellooo?" Lilina said, "The attempted crime on Lady Ashe? The two thieves you came across?"
Tina sat up, her squinted eyes widened, "that was YOU?"
"Surpriiise!" Lilina cheered, "Isn't that obvious?"
"Two sisters… fooling around… one of them a cheater… … AAAND a criminal? Hee-Hee-Hee-Hee-Hee-Hee!" Axel laughed giddily, "My kind of fantasy!"
xXx
-Tidus: Hey! This is Tidus from Final Fantasy X! Why not take a break? We'll be back for more big time adventures on Big Time Final Fantasy.
xXx
"I can't believe you're the one who framed me for a crime you and your partners committed! A CRIME AGAINST POLITICAL AUTHORITY!" Tina hissed at her sister.
"Hey, don't get mad at me. You and your Big Time Hunkaloney friends were the one putting your noses into our businesses." Lilina exclaimed.
"YOU WERE GONNA KILL THREE ROYAL FIGURES! THREE!"
Lilina shrugged, "Well, at least one of them ended up evil no?"
"Okay… girls." Axel interrupted the sisters, "Can we like please get back to our therapy sessions. I have tons of questions to ask. Like uhh…" he hesitated, "okay. So…" he pointed at Lilina, "…you're the cheater." He then faced Tina, "How do you feel that she did that to you? I mean… sure she framed you for many other things but has she framed you for hooking up with a guy while she was actually, y'know… cheating?"
The girls glared.
"Oh my gosh Axel, what are you talking about?" Tina bellowed, "You're not making any—!"
She stopped suddenly, her sentence died away in her throat and her face paled up. Lilina's eyes widened with a stunned discovery.
"Ohh…"
"…my…"
"…gosh." They whispered.
Axel remained still, "What?"
Tina rose, hands slowly crawling on the coffee table, "You…think…that she," she pointed at Lilina, "…and I," she then pointed at herself, "…are HOOKING UP?"
"GAAAAaSP!" Lilina gasped with shrill shock.
"Whaaat?" Axel squinted, forcing a smile, "Nooo… why would you think…" he started sweating and his breathing increased, "…I mean…wh-whyyy on earth would you think that you two," he fanned a finger at the two sisters, "are hooking up? I'm not a pervert! Ew!" he laughed fretfully.
Lilina shook her head slowly side to side, "This is why I don't like going to therapy."
Tina reached for Axel's arm and yanked it up. "Whoa, hello!" Axel startled. Tina blinked at a big wet stain under the therapist's armpit.
"You're sweatin'." Tina pointed out.
Axel pulled away from Tina, "THAT DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING! It's hot in here!"
Lilina glanced at a thermostat at the far corner of the room, "It's only 57 degrees."
"And only perverts say these lies." Tina hissed. She turned around and started walking away, "Come on, Lilina. Let's go settle our dispute alone!"
Lilina watched her sister exit the room before rolling her eyes and followed reluctantly.
"Settle our dispute?" Axel rose from the sofa, "…can I watch? I need to take notes for your therapy session!"
A ball of fire shot from outside and torched the furniture ablaze, startling him.

"So Serah." Carlos began, his arms wrapped around his date's shoulder, "Tell me more about yourself, besides what your family do for a living of course, which I really don't care."
"I'd like to know more of your personal interests too, Noel." Fate flirted, "…like uh… you're planning to raise any Chocobos or adopt them like your children?"
"Well," Noel began, "One thing for sure. I don't…" he stared creepily at Fate, "Who the hell adopts Chocobos like their children?"
"You don't remember Noel?" Serah said, "It was Sazh, remember?"
"Oh, right-right-right-right-right... HEY!" Noel exclaimed, before shifting his chair away from Fate to move closely to Serah, "Remember that day we spent? With the Gran Pulse Chocobo?"
"Gasps!" Serah brought a huge smile on her face, "Oh my gosh!"
She quickly shifted her chair away from Carlos and got closer to Noel. "I totally forgot about that day! Oh my gosh, can you imagine the chaos?" Before they knew it, the duo started laughing, remembering the good times.
"I can believe you forgot? It was unbelievable!" Noel went on.
"I know!" Serah exclaimed. "I told Lightning about it and knowing my sister, I didn't expect her to laugh so hard!"
"No kiddin!" Noel exclaimed, "Gadot was spilling milk off his nose! I thought he was gonna die!"
"Really?" Fate eyed both Serah and Noel murderously, "'cause I'd like to see BOTH of you die."
Serah and Noel stared back at Fate. Fate quickly cooled down and sat back to her seat.
"Hey, speaking of dying," Carlos quickly tried to change subject, "anyone read the reports about the end of the world?" Carlos said, "I heard it's this year."
"Dyin' is so underrated." Serah said.
"Yeah, that's why we have Phoenix Down." Noel added.
"Noel." Fate said bitterly, "It's the end of the world. There won't be a single person with a Phoenix Down."
"Ooh!" Carlos exclaimed, "Wanna hear a reeeally funny story that'll spill milk off your noses? One time, me and Logan were trying to protect this really cool celebrity from bad lucks, but then we ended up knocking her down a well!" he laughed out loud, "Get it? Bad Luck? Knocked down a well? Well?"
Noel, Serah and Fate simply stared back at Carlos, not laughing at all. Carlos's laughter slowed until it stopped.
"Y'know I can sing, right?" Carlos quickly changed subject.
Finally Serah and Noel looked on interested, "Ohhhhh!" they exclaimed.
xXx
Kendall and Logan found Tina and Lilina storming in to the ship's lobby. All heads turned to the two enraged girls.
"Soooo…" Kendall said with a nervous grin, already guessing things didn't go well, "…how's therapy going?"
"It was horrible!" Tina hissed, "That therapist of yours recommended that we share some love together. And I'm not talking about regular love!"
Kendall and Logan exchanged glances, eye squinting in disgust.
"I don't know about you, but I think that therapist is right." Lilina said, examining her delicate fingernails.
All eyes turned on Lilina. "Yeah…" she went on, "I mean, I know how to share some love to a human being. But you,"she poked Tina on the chest, "on the other hand just get bitter and bitter and bitter…"
Tina shoved Lilina's hand off her chest, "Oh, you wanna talk about love and bitterness and the heart wants what the heart wants?" she hissed, "Here's a suggestion for you: GROW SOME HEART!"
"Fine!" Lilina barked back, "Clearly my dear sister, it seems that you're still suffering the ill-effects of your previous unparallel rant about me. Grow me some heart huh? Well, don't attempt to grow a brain and even think about going there with me because, be warned…" she closed in to Tina's nose, "I bite back."
Ooooooooh~
Tina's eyes flashed lightning. Kendall and Logan turned nervous as they noticed the crowd getting larger and wider before the group. "This is gonna get uglyyy."Logan whispered.
"Oh-Ho! I can't grow a brain?" Tina struck back, "Well, I'm not the one who's using their full-grown version of their brain to live the life of a sagging streetrat. Now that is pretty brainless to me, don't you think? Unless you don't know how to THINK?"
"At least I'm proud of calling m'self a rat." Lilina hissed back, "But what are you, a lice or something entirely alien?"
Tina swiftly pulled up her sleeves, "All right that's it, bitch."
"WHOAAA-OHHH! " Kendall jumped between the two girls, "Name calling!" he exclaimed, but Tina shoved him out of the way and pounced on Lilina, tackling her to the ground. The attack quickly drew up a huge crowd of spectators, staring blindly at the two girls clawing each other like paper, spitting out insults, and catapulting fists, chairs and heavy items across the hall. At that moment, Valerie and James were spotted. They joined the crowd to watch the brawl. James' face lit up.
"Oh my gosh!" Valerie squealed, "Should we stop this?"
"Girl, are you crazy?" James said, "This is a catfight! And catfights NEVER get interrupted!"
But Kendall didn't seem to think so. He quickly came to the girls and tried pulling them out. But Lilina's nails were tangled all over Tina's hair and Tina's nails were all over Lilina's clothing. James and Logan then jumped in to help pull the girls off each other.
"Okaay! Girls, stop it! STOP IT! THAT IS IT!" Kendall screamed as he, James and Logan finally yanked the two girls away from each other. James had grabbed Tina from behind, and Lilina got restrained by Logan. Kendall stood in the middle of the girls.
"Wow!" Kendall huffed, "What a fun family reunion that was!" he then glared at Tina, "But fighting isn't gonna solve," he then faced Lilina, "your differences!"
"Oh, don't worry Kendall. It WILL solve SOME differences!" Tina jabbed James' toe with her heel and jumped back at Lilina again, tackling Kendall out of the way. The two girls tear each other's faces. Logan got dragged into the brawl as well. The crowd cheered on.
"YOU WANNA SEE ME BITE, BITCH!"
"I CAN'T BITE BUT I CAN CLAW!"
"HEEEEEAAAALP! HEEEAAAAAALP MEEEEE!"
xXx
"I didn't know you could sing!" Noel said to Carlos.
"That's so cool!" Serah exclaimed.
"Yeah, and he's really good at it." Fate exclaimed
"You wann' hear me?" Carlos cleared his throat and was about to sing.
"Oh! Speaking of singing and dancing," Noel shifted his attention back to Serah; Carlos and Fate gaped, "you heard about that new celebrity we've recently heard of coming to town earlier?"
"Oh you mean Teis?" Serah said, "I heard about her. She's popular."
"Yeah! Apparently she's on tour!"
"Can you guys talk about ANYTHING else but YOURSELF?" Fate hissed.
Noel and Serah blinked, "What?" Noel said, "We're talking about something else, aren't we?"
"Yeah." Serah said and the duo resumed talking.
Carlos frowned, collapsing back to his chair in defeat. Fate buried her chin on one hand, also looking defeated. It was impossible for those two to stop talking to each other and not to them.
"What are we gonna do?" Carlos muttered, "Our dates aren't paying any attention to any one of us!"
Fate suddenly sat straight, her face lit up, "I know. I'll do magic."
Carlos's eyebrows rose with curiosity. "Yeah." Fate went on, straightening up and clasping her hands together, she started rubbing her palms furiously, "All I have to do is to make them fall in love with us instead!"
"Oh, I'm sorry guys." Noel turned his attention back to Carlos and Fate. Fate stopped rubbing her palms and Carlos jerked up, "I can't believe we've forgotten about you two. I wanted this night to be special for my date…"
Carlos and Fate leaned close to Noel interestingly. "…but now," he went on, this time, turning his attention toward Fate, "…you made it extra special."
"Awww…" Fate blushed, giggling like a teenage girl with an obsessed popstar crush. Carlos shoved some Cockatrice meats down his throat before chortling with sheer excitement. "…this oughta be good."
Noel turned back to Serah, held her hand and went down on one knee. The smiles got wiped off Fate and Carlos's faces.
"Serah Farron, would you marry me?" Noel asked her.
"What?" Serah gasped.
"WHAT?" Fate hissed.
A shocked Carlos almost chocked and spat out the meat. The meat flew into the air and landed right onto another plate of delicious spaghettis. The waiter carrying the spaghetti didn't even see that happening as he was on his way toward an ordered table full of livid pirates. Carlos almost screamed, but stopped short by putting his hands over his mouth, eyes twice as large as before. Fate stood there with dropped jaws.
"Serah," Noel went on with Serah, ignoring what was happening in the background, "the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew… deep in my heart that you were the one. The one who would even make my Crystal Stasis shine no matter where I am." Noel said, "…I mean, I know that you're with Snow now, but I can give you more than—!"
"Noel," Serah interrupted him, briefly smiled, "It's okay. But… but you're right, I'm sorry. I still have things to deal with my fiancé Snow. So I don't think that…!"
"Wait, whoa, back up, strawberry shortcake. Your FIANCÉ?" Fate hissed.
"Fiancé?" Carlos cringed in pain to that noun.
"Well…yeah." Serah said to Fate. "What, you didn't know I was engaged?"
Carlos glared at Serah, "NgggghOOOOO!" he hissed.
Serah blinked.
"The idea of this here date was for me and Fate to find someone whom we can have a relationship with!"
"And it doesn't work that way if you're engaged with ANOTHER MAAAN!" Fate exclaimed.
"Wait a minute…" Noel stood up, finally turning his attention back to Carlos and Fate, "…you invited us for a double date?"
Serah also stood up, looking puzzled, "I thought you invited us for a lunch date with the Four Warriors of Light." Serah said, "Like Jack's been sponsoring since that Airship debuted."
"Say wha?" Carlos and Fate exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's been happening for a while now." Noel pulled out from under his belt a small parchment paper and showed it to Carlos and Fate, "So far I've met with Logan, James, and their companions Valerie and Tina. Haven't gotten the chance to meet with Kendall, 'cuz he's probably busy."
"I did." Serah confessed, "He's a really sweet fellow."
"Ahh, no kidding?"
Serah nodded, "Mhh-Mhh." She turned back to Carlos, "So when I heard you needed someone, I seized that chance! So I asked Valerie for a spot and she set me up!"
"James set me up." Noel said, "He just told me to join Carlos on his lunch date with Fate for a surprise. He never told me the surprise was me as Fate's actual date." He laughed. Serah laughed along.
Carlos and Fate laughed also, tensely.
"Well it was a big misunderstanding right?" Carlos said, "All is forgiven and forgotten."
"Yeah, but not all is forgotten…" Fate giggled mirthlessly before facing Noel, "like the stuff you just said about me? …haa-haa-haa… like a dagger in my heart… teehee…" she reached for a wizard cookie and took an angry bite to it.
Noel and Serah slowed their laughter, "…w-wait… what?" Noel said.
"Ohh, nothing." Fate stood up, chewing angrily and shaking her head, "I never liked you anyway, Noel Kreiss, so we're over."
"Err… we haven't even started."
"Exactly. Good luck on your failed marriage." She snapped her fingers and vanished into an explosive colorful cloud of sparkles and shine. Noel's eyes widened.
Carlos grabbed the plate of Wizard Cookies, grabbed another one and tears a large bite of it, "And I'm taking the Wizard Cookies. Somebody needs to look out for them before they get spoiled."
Serah gasped as if offended. Noel frowned.
Carlos snapped his fingers also and vanished before the duo just like Fate.
Elsewhere, a pirate chief at the pirate table was about to take a bite out of his contaminated spaguetti when Carlos reappeared in a cloud of magic, startling him and his crew. "WHAAAAAA!"
Carlos grabbed the plate of spaguetti away from the pirate chief then pointed the fork at him, "And you sir, needs to lose some weight!"
Another snap of the finger and he vanished again.
"RRRROOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRS!" The pirate chief's angry roar filled the restaurant.
xXx
Warrior of Light Arus, Onion Knight Luneth, Terra, Bartz, Squall, Firion and Cecil entered the ship's Atrium.
"According to this fellow guy Noel, before he went on his 'lunch date'," Bartz said, "the Historia Crux can be used if we find something called artefacts."
"Artefacts?" Firion repeated, "What's that?"
"Keys that activate Time Gates." Squall said, "These objects can appear in any form, and are only identified as 'things that shouldn't exist'"
"Or 'items from another time'." Cecil said, "Items that don't belong in our time."
"Oh you mean like Big Time Rush?" Terra said, pointing at the guys who were trying to separate the brawling girls not far from the gang, "They're items from another time."
"Uhh… no, Terra." Luneth replied, "They're not items from another time. They are people from another time."
The gang looked over at the quarrelling group again that was constantly dragging people's attention.
"Okay, something is definitely wrong." Arus said before heading toward the commotion, "Hey, excuse me! What's going on?" he shouted at the boys and the large crowd who were still glued to the fight.
Kendall and James desperately approached the group. They were limping on one leg with their shirt and pants completely torn apart. "These girls…" Kendall breathed heavily, "…are OUT OF CONTROL!"
"They're vicious beasts!" James added.
"I'm on it." Luneth stepped forward, summoned his staff and immediately his attire changed from Onion Knight to Sage. He raised his staff, "Thunder!"
A lightning bolt struck between the girls, knocking them apart, but electrocuting Logan till he was completely smoked.
"Ouchie…" Logan fainted.
The Onion Knight reverted back to his regular form. "Sorry!" he called out.
Warrior of Light and the rest of the group finally seized the girls.
"All right. What is the big idea?" Warrior of Light asked.
The girls started arguing over each other.
"ONE AT A TIME, please!" The Warrior exclaimed.
"That vile malfested freak is up to her old tricks again!" Tina exclaimed, "Did YOU know that she's the one who tried to kill Lady Ashe and her companions!"
"We don't c—!" Kendall cut himself short, "Wait… what?"
"Yeah, that's right!" Tina replied, "She's also the one who framed us back in Ivalice!"
"Ohh, for Odin's sake," Lilina groaned, "would you just stop dwelling in the paaaaaast?"
Logan turned to Lilina, "Is it true?" he hissed.
Lilina looked around, all eyes were on her.
"The truth." Warrior of Light had his arms crossed.
Lilina hesitated for a moment. She lowered her head and sighed in defeat, "…yes, it's true."
"HAAAA!" Tina screamed while the crowd groaned at that abhorrent revelation.
"What?" Lilina protested, "I didn't know what I was doing back then!"
"Stop lying," Tina barked, "you knew exactly what you were up to!"
"And I'm afraid we're gonna have to arrest you," said Arus, "in the name of our Goddess of Harmony Cos—!"
"Jack's gone!" Valerie barked out loud.
All heads turned to her. Valerie put her hands over her mouth, realizing she blurted that out loud.
"What do you mean Jack's gone?" asked Fate who was just coming in to the group with Carlos.
"Gone!" she blurted out again, "Gone has in missing! Vanished! Without a trace!"
"Valerie! Now is not a good time to make jokes!" Tina exclaimed, "They're about to arrest my sister here and I wanna bathe in this glorious moment!"
"Thanks Trisha." Lilina bitterly said, "Appreciate the love."
"It's TINA!" Tina barked.
Valerie shook her head, "It's not a joke!" she turned to James, "James and I found his lance!"
"It's true." James agreed. Valerie summoned Jack's lance to her hands. "It was at the skydeck." James added, "And it feels cold. Like it's been in there for awhile."
"Okay, that is ridiculous guys." Logan argued, "Jack cannot be missing!"
"Yeah," Carlos agreed, "especially since he always answered when you blow the secret whistle. Check it out."
Carlos put two fingers between his lips and blew the secret whistle, which sounded awfully familiar to the Chocobo theme song.
…no answer from Jack. It took the crowd a moment of silence.
"Huh!" Carlos said. "Jack really is missing."
"This… is bad!" Bartz said and the crowd started babbling amongst each other with great concern.
"All right, everyone should remain calm." Warrior of Light said, "Jack must be somewhere on this ship. We just have to find him."
"And then we can arrest Lilina?" Tina asked. Lilina rolled her eyes.
Warrior of Light sighed in defeat, "…yes. Then we can arrest Lilina. Move out, everyone!"
And the heroes dispersed, on their quest to find Jack.
xXx
The Villains of Darkness were watching the entire event happening from Chaos' Underworld through a pool of lava. The lava shoot up like a volcano, making the image disappear. Kefka was then laughing like a drug-medicated maniac.
"You call that fun?" his laughter turned to a mad cry as he faced a Manikin before him, "YOU CALL THAT FUN?"
The frightened Manikin stepped back.
"YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT I CALL FUN?" Kefka barked before pointing at the Manikin. The Manikin vanished into an explosive cloud of smokes.
"Kefka, my eccentric friend." Jecht approached the clown and wrapped his arm around his shoulder, "We've reached fun since we took away these pests's friend. What more do you want?"
"For their psychotic-made TORTURES!" Kefka snarled, "This will NOT suffice. We need more."
"You mean you need more." Exdeath replied.
"Exactly!" Kefka slithered.
"I can give you more." A delicate female voice replied to Kefka. Kefka turned to the figure and so did his group. It was Medusa who spoke,
"Since that's what you spoiled brat want anyway." she added, her full head of slithering snakes hissed at the clown.
She approached, "All you gotta do is say the magic word and I can give it to you in a snap."
Kefka scoffed, "Forget it, creepy split ends. I'm not associating myself to the likes of you." He turned away from Medusa and crossed his arms.
Medusa stopped short, "Oh...?" she said, "Not associating yourself with the she-devil in the flesh huh?"
She walked past and around Kefka, "You know what I can do to people like you? People who make a deal with me and then suddenly wanna back out of this mess?"
Kefka said nothing.
"You know what I can do to people like… HIM!" She whizzed around, grabbed Jecht swiftly in her arms and planted a juicy plumped kiss on his lips. Jecht struggled to break free. The snakes in Medusa's head hissed diabolically by that display.
Medusa finally let to off Jecht. Jecht stumbled back, fingers gripping on his throat, gasping for air. Jecht suddenly went on his knees, wheezing. All of the sudden, his skin hardened and its color changed to a bland concrete. Before the villains knew it, their fellow comrades couldn't move a muscle anymore. He was frozen solid. A statue.
All eyes turned to Medusa. Medusa then turned to Kefka. Kefka once again said nothing. But this time instead of pouting, he lowered his shoulders and sulked.
"I thought so." Medusa replied. She walked away from Kefka but once again around the Villains-Cloud of Darkness, Golbez, Exdeath, Sephiroth, Ultimecia, Kuja, and Gabraanth were the only ones present.
"So if I were you, freaks of Chaos," Medusa said, "I would gladly keep my words of not refusing my offer of dealing with these Cosmos pests."
She turned back to the Villains, "Do you want me to deal with these Cosmos pests?"
No answers from the villains. Just brief glances with one another.
Medusa grinned, "I thought so. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a couple of heroes to torture."
With a mighty strike of her staff to the ground, she vanished into an explosive puff of smoke and lava. The Villains of Darkness all looked at each other, shaking heads and looking annoyed.
"The Villains of the Darkness is expanding." Ultimecia said, "…but only at a cost."
"Who hired her in the first place?" Kuja complained, "She doesn't have the diva swagger that I do."
"Only one person could have hired her." said Exdeath.
"Artemis." muttered Sephiroth.
"Wrong." Exdeath said, "And it's not Dysley either." he strolled forward a couple of feet, "My energy for the void detects something far worse than current voids that we've encountered. This one is stronger. This one is a portal..."
Exdeath turned to face the Villains, "Both Dysley and Artemis have an ally besides Medusa. A time traveler."
The Villains said nothing. But one could sense that there were tension and worries among them at that peculiar moment.
"I don't know about you all, but the dark goddess must perish." Golbez muttered, "and so is her dark army, before it's too late."
xXx
"Jack! Jaaack! JAAAAAAACK!"
Almost the entire airship have been searching to and fro for their friend and conductor of the ship Jack, but to no avail.
"Where is he?" Logan said, filled with worry. "He always shows up when we call him."
"Yeah, now he doesn't." Tidus replied.
"You don't think he got... kidnapped, did he?" Terra asked.
Suddenly the sky reddened and an ominous roar filled the air. The flying ship began to shake and everyone started losing their balance. They screamed in panic, trying to hold on.
"What's going on?" shouted James.
"Chaos Army!" Arus concluded, "They strike again!"
All eyes turned to the reddish sky and a silhouette rode through the clouds as a godly image. It was a woman, wielding a staff. Her face was pale green but smooth and delicate. Her lips were like dark chocolate and her eyes seemed to be peering deep within the soul. But the most shocking feature of all was her hair. They were dancing... as if alive. They were...
"SNAAAAAAKES!" Carlos screamed before jumping behind James and Logan in hiding. All the other passengers roared in panic as well. Arus, Onion Knight, Cecil, Squall, Firion and Tidus all pulled out their weapons. So did Kendall, James, Logan, Tina, Fate and Valerie.
"What is that thing?" Kendall exclaimed.
Medusa chuckled, "Why hello there boys and girls."
"That's Medusa!" Lilina said.
"How did you know?" Tina asked.
"She's some sort of goddess from another time period that is not from this world!" Lilina replied, "She's not supposed to be here!"
"Yeah, like us!" James replied.
"Well, look who did their homework." Medusa said through the clouds, "In case you're wondering, I was summoned here to aid in the war of the gods. After all, I have been spending 25 years torturing angels and humans... even though I really didn't do anything in the last 24...but hey, things just gets really old sometimes. So I needed a change in venue."
"What do you want from us, witch?" Arus exclaimed.
Ignoring Arus's question she went on, "Tell me boys." she addressed BTR, "Are you all familiar with the Historia Crux?"
The boys shook their heads.
"It's a precious of the most wonders of Artifacts I gotta tell you." Medusa said, "An enchanting crossroad that can let you travel through time. Maybe even take you home."
"Really?" Kendall, James, Carlos and Logan all pulled out huge smiles.
"GUYS, DON'T LISTEN TO HER!" Tina shouted.
"Ahh yes. Forgot one important deets," Medusa said, "Here to activate its wondrous power, you'll need an artefact. An object not from this world from what they say. Such object will surely help you travel through time even to and fro the wrong year. But look…". She turned back to the boys, "You boys seem to possess the purrrr-fect artefact."
"Really?" James said excitedly, "What is it?"
Medusa reached her hand toward the group then pulled it back, clenching her fingers. A powerful suction yanked James off his feet and a large void opened up before him.
"JAAAMES!" the guys shouted, quickly grabbing on to their friend by his leg. James screamed in panic. The guys suddenly felt their feet hovering from the ground toward the void. Tina, Lilina and the Warriors of Cosmos went for the guys, grabbing on to their legs as well. All were screaming to Medusa's ears. Screams of panic.
"THAT ARTEFACT IS US!" Logan exclaimed.
"YOU THINK?" Carlos exclaimed.
"HOLD ON GUYS! DON'T LET GO!" shouted Warrior of Light.
"I DON'T WANNA DIE!" Lilina squealed.
"THAT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME I HEAR YOU SAY THAT!" Tina exclaimed.
"IS THIS A TINE FOR JOKES?"
"EVERYONE, CALM DOWN AND JUST HOLD ON!" Kendall yelped.
Medusa scoffed, snapped her fingers again and the void stretched out its orifice and increased its suction power. Now the heroes were on the edge of letting go and their panicked scream got louder. Medusa laughed evilly as they were begging, "NO! NO! NO! PLEASE! LET US GO! STOP IT! GUYS NO! HOLD ONN! AAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
"HAAAA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!"
