Final Fantasy Eds
Chapter 21
"SPIT IT OUT, ED!! WHERE AM I!?!"
Sarah continued to shake her poor brother into answering, but Ed just stared back at her, blowed away with the fact that she just popped up from nowhere in this fantasy world. Eddy and Double-D thought they were seeing things at seeing Sarah. What's even more unbelieveable, she was wearing a werid outfit like the rest of them. And Amber was pretty much confused with the whole thing. But she too noticed the little girl's clothes.
"She's dressed like Yuffie!" Amber said outloud.
"What!?" Both Double-D and Eddy said. "Do you mean that...Sarah's..." Double-D trailed off.
"She's a Final Fantasy character!" Amber answered. "But how do you guys know her??"
"She's Ed's little sister." Eddy said flatly.
"REALLY?" Amber said with a surprised look. She looked back at Sarah, still shouting at Ed. After a quick thought, she went and made her way over to her. Sarah suddenly stopped her yelling when seeing Amber coming up to her.
"Who the heck are you?" The young girl asked rudely.
"Your Sarah, Ed's little sister, right?" Amber asked all kindly and gentle like.
"What about it?" Sarah said back, just as rude as before.
Before answering, Amber took a look around and saw that the town's people were all starting to stare at them and the way Sarah's been acting. She then answered her saying, "Sarah, your going to have to stay quiet till you, me, and the Eds are alone, okay?"
Sarah gave her a odd look, then a scowl.
"Please, alright?" Amber made a "shh" sound to her. "I'll explain everything when we're away from these people."
Sarah then gave in and nodded to Amber in agreement. With that, Amber looked back up, and faced the town's people.
"Everybody, is it alright if we were to spent the night here to rest?" Amber asked.
"Of course, Tifa." The old man said with a smile. "It's our pleasure. The inn is right up there." The man pointed to a small hill with a little house on it. It was abit broken down looking, but so was everything else.
~Later~
The Eds, Amber, and Sarah stood all alone in the North Corel inn. It was just one room, but the inside was alot nicer then the outside made it look to be. There were enough beds for all of them, and lighten that made it more inviting.
Ed and Double-D sat on the end of thier beds while Eddy was stood next to his with hands in his pockets. Amber also sat on her bed, with Sarah sitting next to her.
"Okay.." Amber began. "I would first like to ask you a few things, Sarah, alright?" Amber continued to talk to her in a soft tone. Ed's sister nodded. "Do you know how you got here?"
"I just woke up in the middle of nowhere!" Sarah said. "And I was wearing this stupid "thing"!"
"Did you see a bright light before waking up?" Amber asked. Sarah looked at her with widened eyes. "Did you?" Amber said again.
"Yeah..." Sarah answered. "Now did you know that?"
"Well, that clinches it!" Eddy suddenly interrupted. "She was in Ed's room too, and got sucked in!"
"Sucked into WHAT, fathead?" Sarah said to Eddy with a scowl look.
"Your in a game, Sarah." Double-D then said. "We're ALL in a game."
"WHAT??" Sarah was abit confused.
"It's true." Amber said. "This is all a video game. But it's just as real as it gets! The suit your wearing...it's something one of the characters wear in this world."
"Really?" Sarah hopped off the bed and looked down at her outfit.
"The character your dressed like is named Yuffie. She's a ninja, and the youngest character in the game." Amber explained. "That's probably why the game choosed you to be her, your abit young."
"So...this is all like one big fairytale??" Sarah asked, now looking all wondered.
"Yeah, only REAL." Amber said.
Sarah just stood there and thought of a moment. "Then,,,that big monster I saw..."
"What did you see?" Double-D asked.
"It was big, and black, and was chasing a airplane, well, it LOOKED all a airplane, but..." Sarah said.
"She means WEAPON and the HighWind!" Ed said with wide eyes.
"What did you do after that?" Amber asked.
"I got really scared and ran." Sarah said, trembling abit. "And ending up here."
"Man, ya know, she was lucky she didn't run into anything else out there." Eddy then said.
"Why's that?" Amber asked.
"I don't see a weapon on her, like we were when we got sucked in this place." Eddy pointed out. The others then noticed too. Sarah was tolally unarmed.
"Well, I guess we know now what to do next." Amber said."
"Brush our teeth?" Ed said.
"Nnnooo....we have to find the right weapon that suits Sarah." Amber said.
"Wha-wait a minute, Amber!" Double-D said. "Sarah is far too young to use a weapon! She doesn't have to fight with us, does she?" Double-D sounded really worried for the big Ed's sister. Both him, Eddy, Ed, and then Sarah herself looked at Amber, waiting for a answer. The girl fighter lowered her head before speaking.
"I know what you mean, Double-D, and I wish there was some other way...but I think Sarah, once she has her chose weapon, will be fine. You guys got used to your weapons quick after using them just once! She'll just have have to get used to everything, like you all did."
"What do you mean by "weapon" anyway?" Sarah asked all curiose.
"Like this, baby sister." Ed said, holding up his glowing sword for all to see. It was odd that Sarah didn't noticed it before, her eyes grew as big as dinner plates with seeing it. She then saw Eddy's spear leaning next to him, and jumped abit at seeing Double-D's gun at his side.
"Uhh..."She turned to Amber. "Where's yours?" She asked. Amber held up her hands and made fists.
"Right here." Amber answered. "I use punches and kicks, but it's the gloves that do most of the work."
"So, um, what kind of things do you fight?" Sarah then asked.
"Bloodthirsty monsters and stuff, ya know." Eddy said abit huffy like.
*Slience.......*
"......WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" Sarah suddenly wailed out loudly. Ed reacted by hiding under the bed, while the other two boys covered thier ears.
"I WANNA GO HOME! I DON'T WANNA BE HERE! I WISH JIMMY WAS HERE!! WAAAAAAA!!"
"Why? So he can cry like a little wuss too?" Eddy asked.
Sarah suddenly stop crying and lunged towards Eddy, knocking him on the floor. A struggle took place with Sarah bitting and/or scratching and/or punching the short Ed boy.
"GET HER OFF! GET HER OFF OF ME!!" Eddy cried out.
Ed came to the rescue and pried his raging little sister away from a now beat up Eddy. She was gripping Eddy's "Cid" jacket even after Ed got her off. When she finally let go, Eddy got right up and glared at the young girl with pure anger. Sarah just reposed by sticking her tongue out.
"WHY YOU LITTLE...!" Eddy snarled through gritted teeth.
"That's quite enough!" Double-D said stepping in. He looked right at Sarah. "Sarah, I understand how you feel, and I can understand with you being homesick, but I'm afraid that right at this moment, nethier of us can go back home."
"Well, WHY NOT?" Sarah asked loudly.
"Because-" Double-D began.
"Because we all need to beat the game first." Amber said. All the Eds plus Sarah turned thier attention to her. Amber walked up to the little girl, kneeled down to her level and placed her hand on her shoulder. Sarah gave Amber a little look, but it wasn't her normal "get away from me" look. It was more of a "what do you have to say" look.
"I understand fully on how you feel, Sarah." Amber said clearly and truthfully. "I miss home everyday. I haven't seen home for years now. And for a long time, I was alone. But now, ever since I met your brother and his friends, I haven't been feeling that loneliness. The Eds have been a great help for me mentally."
"We have?" Ed said.
"Yeah!" Amber smiled towards the three boys. "You guys may not know it, but I've never felt happier to meet you all!"
The Eds all felt a touch of redness in the face. They all didn't realize that Amber thought of them in that way, as great friends. It was a first.
The girl fighter's word affected Sarah as well. How can her big, not-always- there brother and his friends be so important? She thought she was hearing things, but the way Amber spoke about it, there was no question about it.
"Sarah?"
Sarah shot her head up to Amber.
"I know you might feel scare, but weather you know it or not, you have the same potential as both the Eds and me. Once we get the right weapon for you, you'll be ready for anything in this place. Trust me." Amber then smiled sweetly.
"....Okay, Amber." Sarah said meekly. "If you say so. I guess."
"Well, now that THAT'S over with, can we all go to bed now? Eddy said sarcasicly.
"Yes, we can, Eddy." Double-D said strunly with a look to go with it.
"In the morning, we'll figure out what to do next. " Amber said. "Well, ONE thing is to get Sarah's weapon, we just have to find out where to find one."
"What sort of weapon is she suppose to use?" Double-D asked.
Amber put her finger to her chin in thought. I think it's called a shuriken, or something like that."
"A shoe-reaking??" Ed said.
"A "SHURIKEN", Ed." Amber corrected. "It's a ninja type weapon shaped like a giant throwing star."
"I'm still abit unsure about Sarah's safety though. " Double-D said.
"Hey, I'm a big girl!" Sarah suddenly said. I'll be fine."
Ed then came up to Sarah and picked her up.
"Awww, baby sister is growing up!" The tall one said. "Big brother is proud!" He sniffed a little.
"Put me down, Ed!" Sarah shouted.
"Oh! Sorry, Sarah." Ed said, setting her down gentley on her bed.
"Alright now, lets all get to bed." Amber said, and then yawning loud.
~ A few hours have passed. It was now the middle of the night and everybody was in bed in the town of North Corel. Inside the inn, the gang all slept soundfully in dreamland. Everybody, except Sarah. She hasn't been able to fall asleep. It wasn't because of her brother's loud snoring, but rather because she was still trying to soak everything in. Just a short time ago, she was with Jimmy looking for Ed. And now, she was in a world that was something straight out of a fairytale. She began to start crying again. The sound of her tears then woke up Amber, who was sleeping in the bed right next to her.
"...Sarah? What's wrong?" She asked in a whisper. "...Can't sleep?"
Sarah looked at her with watery eyes. She wipped some tears away. "No, what made you think that?" She tried to not sound sad saying it.
"You don't have to hide it." Amber said, seeing right through her feelings. "You wish you were in your own bed, right?"
Sarah lowered her head. Amber hit the nail on the head. "...Yeah..."
The girl fighter got out of her bed and sat next to Sarah on her's. "May I ask you something, Sarah?" She whispered.
"What?" Sarah dried her eyes.
"Your brother...what do you think of him?"
Sarah gave one of her looks. "He's a IDIOT!"
Amber raised her eyebrows to her answer. "Why's that?"
"Because...!" Sarah began. "He's so stupid sometimes! And he hangs around with those other two! He never does anything right either."
Amber looked at her, then over at Ed, sleeping with one leg hanging off the side of his bed, and back to Sarah again. "Don't you love your brother at all?"
Sarah scowled. "Brothers are stuipd!"
"I'm sorry you feel that way." Amber said. She placed her hand on Sarah's head. "I think you should feel lucky."
"Why??" Sarah asked.
"Well, Ed seems to really care for you. "Amber smiled. "I wouldn't know, because I don't have any big brothers or sisters to look up to. I'm an only child."
"You are?"
Yeah, and in my mind, I think Ed's a sweet person. At times, he's abit odd, but I believe that's what makes him sweet. I wish...I had a brother just like him."
Sarah just stayed slience, thinking about that. Amber continued.
"In all, all three of the Eds have been like a family to me. Double-D is always so careful and caring about things. And Eddy, well, he has some things to work on, but I think that all of them make a great team! Take my advice, Sarah. Try to look at your brother in a different light. Maybe you'll see something about him you've never seen before."
There was a pause of slience following Amber's little speech. Sarah just kept quiet, thinking. She then let out a long, sleepy yawn and rubbed her eyes.
"Getting tired now?" Amber asked.
Sarah nodded her head.
"Well, you should be able to fall asleep now." Amber got back up and crawled back into her bed. "And Sarah?"
"Yeah?" She said getting under her covers.
"If you need to ask me anything or have to talk to someone anytime in the middle of the night, don't be afraid to wake me. I won't mind." Amber said with a soft smile. "Sleep tight."
"...Okay, Amber. Goodnight..." Sarah said. Soon after she closed her eyes, she slowly doozed off.
~ The very next morning, after a quick breakfast thanks to the local cook, the now five all stood outside the inn looking towards a new day.
"I think I got a backache from that stupid bed." Eddy growled.
"Eddy, please! That's not nice." Double-D said.
"Did baby sister sleep okay?" Ed asked Sarah.
"Yes, Ed." Sarah said in her normal braty way. But she was still thinking about what Amber said last night. 'Maybe I should try that...' She thought.
"Hey guys, I have to go talk to someone quick." Amber said. "Be right back."
She walked off, leaving the Eds and Sarah waiting. The four stood there for a few minutes not saying anything. But then something came across Double- D's mind.
"Oh, Sarah, there's something you have to remember from now on."
"What?" She said.
"As long as we're in this world, you must address yourself as "Yuffie"."
"Why would I want to do that?" Sarah asked with a look.
"Because that's the character your dressed as." Double-D explained. "The same goes for the rest of us. My game name is "Vincent"."
"I'm "CLOUD"!" Ed announced.
"And Eddy's is-"
"Doofus?" Sarah said with a grin. Eddy gave her a death glare.
"No, it's "Cid"." Double-D finished. "Oh, and finally, Amber's is "Tifa". You have to call us all by those names when we meet other people of this world, alright?"
"Whatever." Sarah said. ""Yuffie", uh?"
Meanwhile, Amber was over at the weapon maker's place for North Corel.
"No, sorry. We don't make or sell shuriken weapons." The man said.
"Do you happen to know where I could find them?" Amber asked.
"Well, there's one pla-" The weapon maker suddenly stopped as someone came walking up to Amber from behind.
"What's wrong?" Amber asked.
"Hey, young missy. Is your name Tifa?" A voice from behind her made the girl jump a little. It was low and husky sounding. She turned to see this huge muscular man, wearing only a pair of tight trunks.
"Uh...yes? I'm "Tifa"." She answered with a odd look.
"Great!" The man placed his big hands on Amber's shoulders and padded her hard, almost making her fall. "The name's Dio, young missy! I'm the owner of Gold Saucer!"
"You are?" "Tifa" said surprised. "Oh, uh...pleased to meet you."
"I'll get right to the point, missy." Dio said with a grin. "When I heard it was you and some friends of yours that killed that WEAPON monster who attacked my park, I felt that I had to thank you all in some way!"
"Oh, that's kind of you, but you don't-" Amber said.
"Please, expect the gifts I have for you and your friends!" Dio then turned and snapped his fingers to someone a few feet away. "Hey! Over here!" A shorter man came running up.
"Yes Mr. Dio?" The little man said.
"This here is the young missy we've been looking for." Dio said. "Give her them gifts."
"Yes, sir." The man reached into a box he was holding, and handed Amber two things: a yellow materia sphere and a little sack of something.
"That there is the best items you can win at the Battle Square." Dio said. "W-Summon materia, and a powerful sword ability!"
"A sword ability?" Amber said. She took a closer look at the small sack. There was something stitched acrossed the side of it in gold thread. She whispered out while reading it.
"Level 4 sword attack Limit Break:...." She stopped at seeing the name of the attack, and then worded it out with widened eyes.
"....Omnislash."
"...Uh, hey? Young missy? You alright?" Dio asked.
A few more quiet moments ticked by. Then suddenly, Amber let out a loud, happy screech, and started hopping up and down like a hyper jackrabbit on a suger high! Dio jumped back away from her reaction.
"YES! YES! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!" Amber shouted out, holding the sack up high.
"Wow! Your welcome." Dio said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Well, I have to get back and see how the repairs are going." He and the other guy then walked away with Amber still celebrating.
"WOOOOO!! YEAH!! HAAAAA HA HAAAA! YES! YES! YE-"
She came to a sudden stop and turned back to the weapon maker, who just looked back at her strangely.
"...................Uhhhh, (embarrassed laugh) ha ha ha ha, um...you were saying before?" ^-^
Back with the Eds, there was now a conversation going on about names.
"But why can't I have a better name? "Yuffie" doesn't sound like me at all!" Sarah wined.
"I told you before, because YOUR clothes are of THAT character!" Double-D said, beginning to loose his cold.
"I WANT A BETTER NAME!" Sarah shouted out. "What about..."Elizabeth"?"
"That's stupid!" Eddy said.
"Eddy, don't make her mad!" Ed said nervously.
"She don't scare me!" Eddy said.
"Eddy, please!" Double-D said, trying to pervent a fight from starting.
"I WANNA BE ELIZABETH!!!"
As it looked like things were about to turn into a argument, Amber came running up with a huge grin on her face. In one hand was the yellow materia, and the other was the sack containing the sword ability.
"Guys! I got some GREAT news!" She cheered out to the four. The Eds and Sarah all stopped the bickering and focused thier attention to Amber.
"First of all, I know where we're going next! The weapon maker here doesn't make shurikens, but the villige of Wutai is known for that kind of weapon!" Amber said.
"Where the heck is "Wutai"?" Eddy asked. "Sounds like some kind of a health food."
"It's far out west from here." Amber said. "But with the HighWind, it won't take long. But that's only HALF of the great news! Take a look at this!" Amber displayed the two items in her hands.
"Oooooo, materia!" Ed said seeing the bright yellow sphere. Sarah was even more wondered by it, since she's never seen materia yet. She picked it up from Amber's hand and just eyed it. It glittered in the morning sunlight.
"That kind lets a person use a summon spell twice in a row!" Amber said. There was a round of "cool"s and "awww"s. Sarah didn't understand though.
"What's in that bag, Amber?" Double-D pointed out.
Amber grined even wider and looked towards the tall one. She took Ed's hand and placed the bag in his palm. "Open it." She said, still smiling from ear to ear. "And reach into it."
Ed started to get excited. Immediately he opened the little sack up, and dove his hand right in it. Just as he did, a bright light shot out from it. Ed's hand was still inside as the light began to crawl up his arm and surrounded his body! It lasted for only a few seconds till the light then just vanished all at once. Ed was left bewildered from it. He blinked a few times, and took his hand out.
"That felt WEIRD." He said looking at his hand. "...I liked it! Can I do it again?"
"Do you feel any different?" Amber asked.
Ed looked down at himself. "I'm still Ed."
"I mean do you feel stronger, in a way? Like a new power just entered into you." Amber asked.
Ed looked back into the little bag while thinking. "......A little...I feel a little..." He made a pose like a strong man to make his point.
"You know Omnislash now!" Amber suddenly announced.
"Oh no! Is there a cure?!" Ed said all freaked.
"No, Ed, it's a GOOD thing!" Amber said. "That item was your level 4 Limit Break!"
"What??" Both Eddy and Double-D said. "Where did you find it!?" Eddy asked.
"The owner of Gold Saucer came up to me and just gave me both of these items as a gift for us destroying WEAPON!" Amber said. "The Omnislash ability was one of the top prizes at the Battle Area!"
"Your kidding!" Double-D said shocked. "Who would of thought?"
"Tell me about it!" Amber said. "Of all places, I never thought of looking there."
"HEY!!" Sarah suddenly shouted out, drawing all the attention to herself. "What are you all talking about??"
Amber and the Eds exchanged thier looks for a moment. Sarah stood her ground with a child like scowl on her face. After a pause of quiet, Amber reached out and took the W-Summon materia back from Sarah.
"We better get going while we're burning daylight." Amber said putting the new orb in her materia bag. "On the way to Wutai, I better tell Sarah abit more about this place."
~Abroad the HighWind, the gang began thier trip. The huge airship rosed from the ground. Inside, the Eds and Amber sat in thier seats during lift off. Sarah however stood in front of the window awstrunk by it all.
"Wow! We're so high!" The little girl said with wide eyes. She stunk her face on the glass.
"Hey, "Yuffie"?" A voice from behind Sarah made her turn around. It was Amber.
"What is it, Amber?" Sarah asked.
"No, call me "Tifa", remember?" Amber whispered. "You have to get used to that while around the crew."
"Oh right." Sarah said. "Uh, what's up, "TIFA"?"
"It'll be a little while till we reach Wutai, so how about I show you more of the ropes, so to speak?" "Tifa" said.
"Alright." "Yuffie" answered.
Amber pulled out her materia bag and took out a few spheres. "We better start with magic."
"Magic?" Sarah said seeing the different colored orbs.
"That's right." Amber said.
~While Amber began to teach Sarah, the Eds have all went over to the room where two of Amber's chocobos were held. It was Ed's idea. ^-^ Eddy laid on a heap of hay with a bitter look to his face. Double-D quietly stood next to Ed, who was rubbing his nose against the green chocobo's beak. (AWWW!^0^) The big bird cooded happyly at it. The other one, the black one named Midnight, stood on the other side of Ed, happy to see him again.
"This STINKS! Eddy suddenly brusted out.
"What's "stinks"?" Double-D asked.
"SARAH!" Eddy answered. "Now that's she here, from now on she's gonna screw everything up!"
Double-D's face narrowed with irritation. "I can NOT believe you, Eddy! Don't you feel sorry for Sarah at all?"
"She's a winey BRAT!" Eddy said. "What's there to be "sorry" about?!"
The hat wearing one tried to hold back his frustration. "She's a CHILD stunk in a foreign WORLD now, Eddy! She's further away from home then she could ever imagine! You should feel bad for not having abit of-"
*KEERRRW!!*
The chocobos suddenly sounded rather upset due to the two Eds' talking. Ed padded both of them on the heads, making them calm down. "Guys, you made the cho-chos sad." Ed said with a long face.
"Stupid birds." Eddy said under his breath.
The room was slience once more, with each Ed thinking to himself. Eddy thought how much of a pick Double-D was, Double-D was thinking how Eddy was being completely insensitive with the matter of Sarah, and Ed...
"...You know...I miss home..."
The Ed's words made the other two to change what they were thinking.
"I miss Rolf's chickens, and my Evil Tim comics." Ed said with tears in his eyes.
"...I miss Mother, Father, and the peaceful cal-da-sac." Double-D said, holding back a few homesick tears.
Eddy wasn't saying anything at first. "...I miss...scaming the kids."
"That's it, uh?" Double-D said with a look towards him.
"Well...that, and..." Eddy stopped and thought. "...And the kids period. Not Kevin though."
"Like Johnny...and Plank..." Ed said. "And Nazz, and Rolf and Jimmy and-"
"We get it, Ed." Eddy said.
"We've been away for days now...our parents must be worried to death!" Double-D said. "And who knows how much longer it'll take to get back."
"What if...what if our folks move?! Like Amber's folks did!" Eddy said worried.
"I'm sure thier looking for us." Double-D said.
"Oh man...my Mom is going to KILL me!" Ed said.
"Even if we get back, we'll all be chewed out by our parents." Eddy said. "NO ONE will believe us!"
"Don't say "if" we get back..." Double-D said. "We have to stay positive. "WHEN" we get back."
"Yeah...your right, Double-D." Eddy said with a sigh.
Just then, Amber and Sarah walked into the room. The boys immediately noticed the armor around Sarah's wrist and some materia in it as well.
"Sarah knows all about the materia thing now." Amber said. "She understood it fast too. Now all she needs is her weap-"
"What is THAT??" Sarah pointed at the chocobos.
"Thier chocobos, baby sister." Ed said sweetly. "Wanna pet one?"
Sarah wasn't sure at first. She slowly walked up to her brother and the green one. The chocobo lowered it's head to the little newcomer. It cocked it's head to one side, checking her out. Sarah slowly began to get use to the funny creatuer. With her left hand, she reached up and touched the soft feathers of it's cheek. It started to make a purring sound, much like a cat. Sarah couldn't help then but giggle, feeling completely comfortable now. The chocobo then made it's familier "kerw" sound.
"It likes you." Ed said. He then picked Sarah up and placed her on the chocobo's back. "You ride them like a horse!"
The back of the big bird was as soft as it's feathers to Sarah. The young girl leaned over and hugged it's neck with a child's touch. The green chocobo was as relaxed as her.
"It's cuter then a horse!" Sarah said smiling. "Can I have one? Please?"
"Now's not a good time for that. Sarah." Amber said. "We can talk about that later, after we're finished with Wutai."
"Are we almost there?" Eddy asked.
"About a hour we should be." Amber said. "What were you guys talking about before we came in anyway?"
"We're homesick." Ed said frowning.
"We've been gone for some time now. " Double-D said. "And we've just realized that our parents are surely wondering where we are."
"Sarah? Is Mom mad?" Ed asked his sister.
"A little." Sarah answered, still on the chocobo.
"A LITTLE!?" Double-D said. That wasn't quite the answer the gang was expecting to hear. " Are you sure about that, Sarah? We've been gone for DAYS!"
"Days??" The young girl was suddenly puzzled. "What are you talking about? It's only been the rest of the afternoon."
"WHAT?!?!?" Everybody, even Amber shouted out. The Ed's were speechless. The girl fighter was close to speechless.
".....But...HOW?" Amber said. "HOW is that...POSSABLE???"
TO BE CONTINUED.......................
*RogueStar*: HOW is that possable indeed!! One fan idea made it into this chapter! I would like to thank reader/reviewer Double-Dee for the idea that the gang's next stop will be Wutai! Good job, Double-Dee! ^-^ Tell me all what you think of this one. I wrote this WHOLE chapter out on paper before typing it all up, which is WERID for me. I normaly just do it all on computer period. Anyway, till next time! I'll think of something for the next chapter soon. LATER! ^-~
"SPIT IT OUT, ED!! WHERE AM I!?!"
Sarah continued to shake her poor brother into answering, but Ed just stared back at her, blowed away with the fact that she just popped up from nowhere in this fantasy world. Eddy and Double-D thought they were seeing things at seeing Sarah. What's even more unbelieveable, she was wearing a werid outfit like the rest of them. And Amber was pretty much confused with the whole thing. But she too noticed the little girl's clothes.
"She's dressed like Yuffie!" Amber said outloud.
"What!?" Both Double-D and Eddy said. "Do you mean that...Sarah's..." Double-D trailed off.
"She's a Final Fantasy character!" Amber answered. "But how do you guys know her??"
"She's Ed's little sister." Eddy said flatly.
"REALLY?" Amber said with a surprised look. She looked back at Sarah, still shouting at Ed. After a quick thought, she went and made her way over to her. Sarah suddenly stopped her yelling when seeing Amber coming up to her.
"Who the heck are you?" The young girl asked rudely.
"Your Sarah, Ed's little sister, right?" Amber asked all kindly and gentle like.
"What about it?" Sarah said back, just as rude as before.
Before answering, Amber took a look around and saw that the town's people were all starting to stare at them and the way Sarah's been acting. She then answered her saying, "Sarah, your going to have to stay quiet till you, me, and the Eds are alone, okay?"
Sarah gave her a odd look, then a scowl.
"Please, alright?" Amber made a "shh" sound to her. "I'll explain everything when we're away from these people."
Sarah then gave in and nodded to Amber in agreement. With that, Amber looked back up, and faced the town's people.
"Everybody, is it alright if we were to spent the night here to rest?" Amber asked.
"Of course, Tifa." The old man said with a smile. "It's our pleasure. The inn is right up there." The man pointed to a small hill with a little house on it. It was abit broken down looking, but so was everything else.
~Later~
The Eds, Amber, and Sarah stood all alone in the North Corel inn. It was just one room, but the inside was alot nicer then the outside made it look to be. There were enough beds for all of them, and lighten that made it more inviting.
Ed and Double-D sat on the end of thier beds while Eddy was stood next to his with hands in his pockets. Amber also sat on her bed, with Sarah sitting next to her.
"Okay.." Amber began. "I would first like to ask you a few things, Sarah, alright?" Amber continued to talk to her in a soft tone. Ed's sister nodded. "Do you know how you got here?"
"I just woke up in the middle of nowhere!" Sarah said. "And I was wearing this stupid "thing"!"
"Did you see a bright light before waking up?" Amber asked. Sarah looked at her with widened eyes. "Did you?" Amber said again.
"Yeah..." Sarah answered. "Now did you know that?"
"Well, that clinches it!" Eddy suddenly interrupted. "She was in Ed's room too, and got sucked in!"
"Sucked into WHAT, fathead?" Sarah said to Eddy with a scowl look.
"Your in a game, Sarah." Double-D then said. "We're ALL in a game."
"WHAT??" Sarah was abit confused.
"It's true." Amber said. "This is all a video game. But it's just as real as it gets! The suit your wearing...it's something one of the characters wear in this world."
"Really?" Sarah hopped off the bed and looked down at her outfit.
"The character your dressed like is named Yuffie. She's a ninja, and the youngest character in the game." Amber explained. "That's probably why the game choosed you to be her, your abit young."
"So...this is all like one big fairytale??" Sarah asked, now looking all wondered.
"Yeah, only REAL." Amber said.
Sarah just stood there and thought of a moment. "Then,,,that big monster I saw..."
"What did you see?" Double-D asked.
"It was big, and black, and was chasing a airplane, well, it LOOKED all a airplane, but..." Sarah said.
"She means WEAPON and the HighWind!" Ed said with wide eyes.
"What did you do after that?" Amber asked.
"I got really scared and ran." Sarah said, trembling abit. "And ending up here."
"Man, ya know, she was lucky she didn't run into anything else out there." Eddy then said.
"Why's that?" Amber asked.
"I don't see a weapon on her, like we were when we got sucked in this place." Eddy pointed out. The others then noticed too. Sarah was tolally unarmed.
"Well, I guess we know now what to do next." Amber said."
"Brush our teeth?" Ed said.
"Nnnooo....we have to find the right weapon that suits Sarah." Amber said.
"Wha-wait a minute, Amber!" Double-D said. "Sarah is far too young to use a weapon! She doesn't have to fight with us, does she?" Double-D sounded really worried for the big Ed's sister. Both him, Eddy, Ed, and then Sarah herself looked at Amber, waiting for a answer. The girl fighter lowered her head before speaking.
"I know what you mean, Double-D, and I wish there was some other way...but I think Sarah, once she has her chose weapon, will be fine. You guys got used to your weapons quick after using them just once! She'll just have have to get used to everything, like you all did."
"What do you mean by "weapon" anyway?" Sarah asked all curiose.
"Like this, baby sister." Ed said, holding up his glowing sword for all to see. It was odd that Sarah didn't noticed it before, her eyes grew as big as dinner plates with seeing it. She then saw Eddy's spear leaning next to him, and jumped abit at seeing Double-D's gun at his side.
"Uhh..."She turned to Amber. "Where's yours?" She asked. Amber held up her hands and made fists.
"Right here." Amber answered. "I use punches and kicks, but it's the gloves that do most of the work."
"So, um, what kind of things do you fight?" Sarah then asked.
"Bloodthirsty monsters and stuff, ya know." Eddy said abit huffy like.
*Slience.......*
"......WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" Sarah suddenly wailed out loudly. Ed reacted by hiding under the bed, while the other two boys covered thier ears.
"I WANNA GO HOME! I DON'T WANNA BE HERE! I WISH JIMMY WAS HERE!! WAAAAAAA!!"
"Why? So he can cry like a little wuss too?" Eddy asked.
Sarah suddenly stop crying and lunged towards Eddy, knocking him on the floor. A struggle took place with Sarah bitting and/or scratching and/or punching the short Ed boy.
"GET HER OFF! GET HER OFF OF ME!!" Eddy cried out.
Ed came to the rescue and pried his raging little sister away from a now beat up Eddy. She was gripping Eddy's "Cid" jacket even after Ed got her off. When she finally let go, Eddy got right up and glared at the young girl with pure anger. Sarah just reposed by sticking her tongue out.
"WHY YOU LITTLE...!" Eddy snarled through gritted teeth.
"That's quite enough!" Double-D said stepping in. He looked right at Sarah. "Sarah, I understand how you feel, and I can understand with you being homesick, but I'm afraid that right at this moment, nethier of us can go back home."
"Well, WHY NOT?" Sarah asked loudly.
"Because-" Double-D began.
"Because we all need to beat the game first." Amber said. All the Eds plus Sarah turned thier attention to her. Amber walked up to the little girl, kneeled down to her level and placed her hand on her shoulder. Sarah gave Amber a little look, but it wasn't her normal "get away from me" look. It was more of a "what do you have to say" look.
"I understand fully on how you feel, Sarah." Amber said clearly and truthfully. "I miss home everyday. I haven't seen home for years now. And for a long time, I was alone. But now, ever since I met your brother and his friends, I haven't been feeling that loneliness. The Eds have been a great help for me mentally."
"We have?" Ed said.
"Yeah!" Amber smiled towards the three boys. "You guys may not know it, but I've never felt happier to meet you all!"
The Eds all felt a touch of redness in the face. They all didn't realize that Amber thought of them in that way, as great friends. It was a first.
The girl fighter's word affected Sarah as well. How can her big, not-always- there brother and his friends be so important? She thought she was hearing things, but the way Amber spoke about it, there was no question about it.
"Sarah?"
Sarah shot her head up to Amber.
"I know you might feel scare, but weather you know it or not, you have the same potential as both the Eds and me. Once we get the right weapon for you, you'll be ready for anything in this place. Trust me." Amber then smiled sweetly.
"....Okay, Amber." Sarah said meekly. "If you say so. I guess."
"Well, now that THAT'S over with, can we all go to bed now? Eddy said sarcasicly.
"Yes, we can, Eddy." Double-D said strunly with a look to go with it.
"In the morning, we'll figure out what to do next. " Amber said. "Well, ONE thing is to get Sarah's weapon, we just have to find out where to find one."
"What sort of weapon is she suppose to use?" Double-D asked.
Amber put her finger to her chin in thought. I think it's called a shuriken, or something like that."
"A shoe-reaking??" Ed said.
"A "SHURIKEN", Ed." Amber corrected. "It's a ninja type weapon shaped like a giant throwing star."
"I'm still abit unsure about Sarah's safety though. " Double-D said.
"Hey, I'm a big girl!" Sarah suddenly said. I'll be fine."
Ed then came up to Sarah and picked her up.
"Awww, baby sister is growing up!" The tall one said. "Big brother is proud!" He sniffed a little.
"Put me down, Ed!" Sarah shouted.
"Oh! Sorry, Sarah." Ed said, setting her down gentley on her bed.
"Alright now, lets all get to bed." Amber said, and then yawning loud.
~ A few hours have passed. It was now the middle of the night and everybody was in bed in the town of North Corel. Inside the inn, the gang all slept soundfully in dreamland. Everybody, except Sarah. She hasn't been able to fall asleep. It wasn't because of her brother's loud snoring, but rather because she was still trying to soak everything in. Just a short time ago, she was with Jimmy looking for Ed. And now, she was in a world that was something straight out of a fairytale. She began to start crying again. The sound of her tears then woke up Amber, who was sleeping in the bed right next to her.
"...Sarah? What's wrong?" She asked in a whisper. "...Can't sleep?"
Sarah looked at her with watery eyes. She wipped some tears away. "No, what made you think that?" She tried to not sound sad saying it.
"You don't have to hide it." Amber said, seeing right through her feelings. "You wish you were in your own bed, right?"
Sarah lowered her head. Amber hit the nail on the head. "...Yeah..."
The girl fighter got out of her bed and sat next to Sarah on her's. "May I ask you something, Sarah?" She whispered.
"What?" Sarah dried her eyes.
"Your brother...what do you think of him?"
Sarah gave one of her looks. "He's a IDIOT!"
Amber raised her eyebrows to her answer. "Why's that?"
"Because...!" Sarah began. "He's so stupid sometimes! And he hangs around with those other two! He never does anything right either."
Amber looked at her, then over at Ed, sleeping with one leg hanging off the side of his bed, and back to Sarah again. "Don't you love your brother at all?"
Sarah scowled. "Brothers are stuipd!"
"I'm sorry you feel that way." Amber said. She placed her hand on Sarah's head. "I think you should feel lucky."
"Why??" Sarah asked.
"Well, Ed seems to really care for you. "Amber smiled. "I wouldn't know, because I don't have any big brothers or sisters to look up to. I'm an only child."
"You are?"
Yeah, and in my mind, I think Ed's a sweet person. At times, he's abit odd, but I believe that's what makes him sweet. I wish...I had a brother just like him."
Sarah just stayed slience, thinking about that. Amber continued.
"In all, all three of the Eds have been like a family to me. Double-D is always so careful and caring about things. And Eddy, well, he has some things to work on, but I think that all of them make a great team! Take my advice, Sarah. Try to look at your brother in a different light. Maybe you'll see something about him you've never seen before."
There was a pause of slience following Amber's little speech. Sarah just kept quiet, thinking. She then let out a long, sleepy yawn and rubbed her eyes.
"Getting tired now?" Amber asked.
Sarah nodded her head.
"Well, you should be able to fall asleep now." Amber got back up and crawled back into her bed. "And Sarah?"
"Yeah?" She said getting under her covers.
"If you need to ask me anything or have to talk to someone anytime in the middle of the night, don't be afraid to wake me. I won't mind." Amber said with a soft smile. "Sleep tight."
"...Okay, Amber. Goodnight..." Sarah said. Soon after she closed her eyes, she slowly doozed off.
~ The very next morning, after a quick breakfast thanks to the local cook, the now five all stood outside the inn looking towards a new day.
"I think I got a backache from that stupid bed." Eddy growled.
"Eddy, please! That's not nice." Double-D said.
"Did baby sister sleep okay?" Ed asked Sarah.
"Yes, Ed." Sarah said in her normal braty way. But she was still thinking about what Amber said last night. 'Maybe I should try that...' She thought.
"Hey guys, I have to go talk to someone quick." Amber said. "Be right back."
She walked off, leaving the Eds and Sarah waiting. The four stood there for a few minutes not saying anything. But then something came across Double- D's mind.
"Oh, Sarah, there's something you have to remember from now on."
"What?" She said.
"As long as we're in this world, you must address yourself as "Yuffie"."
"Why would I want to do that?" Sarah asked with a look.
"Because that's the character your dressed as." Double-D explained. "The same goes for the rest of us. My game name is "Vincent"."
"I'm "CLOUD"!" Ed announced.
"And Eddy's is-"
"Doofus?" Sarah said with a grin. Eddy gave her a death glare.
"No, it's "Cid"." Double-D finished. "Oh, and finally, Amber's is "Tifa". You have to call us all by those names when we meet other people of this world, alright?"
"Whatever." Sarah said. ""Yuffie", uh?"
Meanwhile, Amber was over at the weapon maker's place for North Corel.
"No, sorry. We don't make or sell shuriken weapons." The man said.
"Do you happen to know where I could find them?" Amber asked.
"Well, there's one pla-" The weapon maker suddenly stopped as someone came walking up to Amber from behind.
"What's wrong?" Amber asked.
"Hey, young missy. Is your name Tifa?" A voice from behind her made the girl jump a little. It was low and husky sounding. She turned to see this huge muscular man, wearing only a pair of tight trunks.
"Uh...yes? I'm "Tifa"." She answered with a odd look.
"Great!" The man placed his big hands on Amber's shoulders and padded her hard, almost making her fall. "The name's Dio, young missy! I'm the owner of Gold Saucer!"
"You are?" "Tifa" said surprised. "Oh, uh...pleased to meet you."
"I'll get right to the point, missy." Dio said with a grin. "When I heard it was you and some friends of yours that killed that WEAPON monster who attacked my park, I felt that I had to thank you all in some way!"
"Oh, that's kind of you, but you don't-" Amber said.
"Please, expect the gifts I have for you and your friends!" Dio then turned and snapped his fingers to someone a few feet away. "Hey! Over here!" A shorter man came running up.
"Yes Mr. Dio?" The little man said.
"This here is the young missy we've been looking for." Dio said. "Give her them gifts."
"Yes, sir." The man reached into a box he was holding, and handed Amber two things: a yellow materia sphere and a little sack of something.
"That there is the best items you can win at the Battle Square." Dio said. "W-Summon materia, and a powerful sword ability!"
"A sword ability?" Amber said. She took a closer look at the small sack. There was something stitched acrossed the side of it in gold thread. She whispered out while reading it.
"Level 4 sword attack Limit Break:...." She stopped at seeing the name of the attack, and then worded it out with widened eyes.
"....Omnislash."
"...Uh, hey? Young missy? You alright?" Dio asked.
A few more quiet moments ticked by. Then suddenly, Amber let out a loud, happy screech, and started hopping up and down like a hyper jackrabbit on a suger high! Dio jumped back away from her reaction.
"YES! YES! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!" Amber shouted out, holding the sack up high.
"Wow! Your welcome." Dio said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Well, I have to get back and see how the repairs are going." He and the other guy then walked away with Amber still celebrating.
"WOOOOO!! YEAH!! HAAAAA HA HAAAA! YES! YES! YE-"
She came to a sudden stop and turned back to the weapon maker, who just looked back at her strangely.
"...................Uhhhh, (embarrassed laugh) ha ha ha ha, um...you were saying before?" ^-^
Back with the Eds, there was now a conversation going on about names.
"But why can't I have a better name? "Yuffie" doesn't sound like me at all!" Sarah wined.
"I told you before, because YOUR clothes are of THAT character!" Double-D said, beginning to loose his cold.
"I WANT A BETTER NAME!" Sarah shouted out. "What about..."Elizabeth"?"
"That's stupid!" Eddy said.
"Eddy, don't make her mad!" Ed said nervously.
"She don't scare me!" Eddy said.
"Eddy, please!" Double-D said, trying to pervent a fight from starting.
"I WANNA BE ELIZABETH!!!"
As it looked like things were about to turn into a argument, Amber came running up with a huge grin on her face. In one hand was the yellow materia, and the other was the sack containing the sword ability.
"Guys! I got some GREAT news!" She cheered out to the four. The Eds and Sarah all stopped the bickering and focused thier attention to Amber.
"First of all, I know where we're going next! The weapon maker here doesn't make shurikens, but the villige of Wutai is known for that kind of weapon!" Amber said.
"Where the heck is "Wutai"?" Eddy asked. "Sounds like some kind of a health food."
"It's far out west from here." Amber said. "But with the HighWind, it won't take long. But that's only HALF of the great news! Take a look at this!" Amber displayed the two items in her hands.
"Oooooo, materia!" Ed said seeing the bright yellow sphere. Sarah was even more wondered by it, since she's never seen materia yet. She picked it up from Amber's hand and just eyed it. It glittered in the morning sunlight.
"That kind lets a person use a summon spell twice in a row!" Amber said. There was a round of "cool"s and "awww"s. Sarah didn't understand though.
"What's in that bag, Amber?" Double-D pointed out.
Amber grined even wider and looked towards the tall one. She took Ed's hand and placed the bag in his palm. "Open it." She said, still smiling from ear to ear. "And reach into it."
Ed started to get excited. Immediately he opened the little sack up, and dove his hand right in it. Just as he did, a bright light shot out from it. Ed's hand was still inside as the light began to crawl up his arm and surrounded his body! It lasted for only a few seconds till the light then just vanished all at once. Ed was left bewildered from it. He blinked a few times, and took his hand out.
"That felt WEIRD." He said looking at his hand. "...I liked it! Can I do it again?"
"Do you feel any different?" Amber asked.
Ed looked down at himself. "I'm still Ed."
"I mean do you feel stronger, in a way? Like a new power just entered into you." Amber asked.
Ed looked back into the little bag while thinking. "......A little...I feel a little..." He made a pose like a strong man to make his point.
"You know Omnislash now!" Amber suddenly announced.
"Oh no! Is there a cure?!" Ed said all freaked.
"No, Ed, it's a GOOD thing!" Amber said. "That item was your level 4 Limit Break!"
"What??" Both Eddy and Double-D said. "Where did you find it!?" Eddy asked.
"The owner of Gold Saucer came up to me and just gave me both of these items as a gift for us destroying WEAPON!" Amber said. "The Omnislash ability was one of the top prizes at the Battle Area!"
"Your kidding!" Double-D said shocked. "Who would of thought?"
"Tell me about it!" Amber said. "Of all places, I never thought of looking there."
"HEY!!" Sarah suddenly shouted out, drawing all the attention to herself. "What are you all talking about??"
Amber and the Eds exchanged thier looks for a moment. Sarah stood her ground with a child like scowl on her face. After a pause of quiet, Amber reached out and took the W-Summon materia back from Sarah.
"We better get going while we're burning daylight." Amber said putting the new orb in her materia bag. "On the way to Wutai, I better tell Sarah abit more about this place."
~Abroad the HighWind, the gang began thier trip. The huge airship rosed from the ground. Inside, the Eds and Amber sat in thier seats during lift off. Sarah however stood in front of the window awstrunk by it all.
"Wow! We're so high!" The little girl said with wide eyes. She stunk her face on the glass.
"Hey, "Yuffie"?" A voice from behind Sarah made her turn around. It was Amber.
"What is it, Amber?" Sarah asked.
"No, call me "Tifa", remember?" Amber whispered. "You have to get used to that while around the crew."
"Oh right." Sarah said. "Uh, what's up, "TIFA"?"
"It'll be a little while till we reach Wutai, so how about I show you more of the ropes, so to speak?" "Tifa" said.
"Alright." "Yuffie" answered.
Amber pulled out her materia bag and took out a few spheres. "We better start with magic."
"Magic?" Sarah said seeing the different colored orbs.
"That's right." Amber said.
~While Amber began to teach Sarah, the Eds have all went over to the room where two of Amber's chocobos were held. It was Ed's idea. ^-^ Eddy laid on a heap of hay with a bitter look to his face. Double-D quietly stood next to Ed, who was rubbing his nose against the green chocobo's beak. (AWWW!^0^) The big bird cooded happyly at it. The other one, the black one named Midnight, stood on the other side of Ed, happy to see him again.
"This STINKS! Eddy suddenly brusted out.
"What's "stinks"?" Double-D asked.
"SARAH!" Eddy answered. "Now that's she here, from now on she's gonna screw everything up!"
Double-D's face narrowed with irritation. "I can NOT believe you, Eddy! Don't you feel sorry for Sarah at all?"
"She's a winey BRAT!" Eddy said. "What's there to be "sorry" about?!"
The hat wearing one tried to hold back his frustration. "She's a CHILD stunk in a foreign WORLD now, Eddy! She's further away from home then she could ever imagine! You should feel bad for not having abit of-"
*KEERRRW!!*
The chocobos suddenly sounded rather upset due to the two Eds' talking. Ed padded both of them on the heads, making them calm down. "Guys, you made the cho-chos sad." Ed said with a long face.
"Stupid birds." Eddy said under his breath.
The room was slience once more, with each Ed thinking to himself. Eddy thought how much of a pick Double-D was, Double-D was thinking how Eddy was being completely insensitive with the matter of Sarah, and Ed...
"...You know...I miss home..."
The Ed's words made the other two to change what they were thinking.
"I miss Rolf's chickens, and my Evil Tim comics." Ed said with tears in his eyes.
"...I miss Mother, Father, and the peaceful cal-da-sac." Double-D said, holding back a few homesick tears.
Eddy wasn't saying anything at first. "...I miss...scaming the kids."
"That's it, uh?" Double-D said with a look towards him.
"Well...that, and..." Eddy stopped and thought. "...And the kids period. Not Kevin though."
"Like Johnny...and Plank..." Ed said. "And Nazz, and Rolf and Jimmy and-"
"We get it, Ed." Eddy said.
"We've been away for days now...our parents must be worried to death!" Double-D said. "And who knows how much longer it'll take to get back."
"What if...what if our folks move?! Like Amber's folks did!" Eddy said worried.
"I'm sure thier looking for us." Double-D said.
"Oh man...my Mom is going to KILL me!" Ed said.
"Even if we get back, we'll all be chewed out by our parents." Eddy said. "NO ONE will believe us!"
"Don't say "if" we get back..." Double-D said. "We have to stay positive. "WHEN" we get back."
"Yeah...your right, Double-D." Eddy said with a sigh.
Just then, Amber and Sarah walked into the room. The boys immediately noticed the armor around Sarah's wrist and some materia in it as well.
"Sarah knows all about the materia thing now." Amber said. "She understood it fast too. Now all she needs is her weap-"
"What is THAT??" Sarah pointed at the chocobos.
"Thier chocobos, baby sister." Ed said sweetly. "Wanna pet one?"
Sarah wasn't sure at first. She slowly walked up to her brother and the green one. The chocobo lowered it's head to the little newcomer. It cocked it's head to one side, checking her out. Sarah slowly began to get use to the funny creatuer. With her left hand, she reached up and touched the soft feathers of it's cheek. It started to make a purring sound, much like a cat. Sarah couldn't help then but giggle, feeling completely comfortable now. The chocobo then made it's familier "kerw" sound.
"It likes you." Ed said. He then picked Sarah up and placed her on the chocobo's back. "You ride them like a horse!"
The back of the big bird was as soft as it's feathers to Sarah. The young girl leaned over and hugged it's neck with a child's touch. The green chocobo was as relaxed as her.
"It's cuter then a horse!" Sarah said smiling. "Can I have one? Please?"
"Now's not a good time for that. Sarah." Amber said. "We can talk about that later, after we're finished with Wutai."
"Are we almost there?" Eddy asked.
"About a hour we should be." Amber said. "What were you guys talking about before we came in anyway?"
"We're homesick." Ed said frowning.
"We've been gone for some time now. " Double-D said. "And we've just realized that our parents are surely wondering where we are."
"Sarah? Is Mom mad?" Ed asked his sister.
"A little." Sarah answered, still on the chocobo.
"A LITTLE!?" Double-D said. That wasn't quite the answer the gang was expecting to hear. " Are you sure about that, Sarah? We've been gone for DAYS!"
"Days??" The young girl was suddenly puzzled. "What are you talking about? It's only been the rest of the afternoon."
"WHAT?!?!?" Everybody, even Amber shouted out. The Ed's were speechless. The girl fighter was close to speechless.
".....But...HOW?" Amber said. "HOW is that...POSSABLE???"
TO BE CONTINUED.......................
*RogueStar*: HOW is that possable indeed!! One fan idea made it into this chapter! I would like to thank reader/reviewer Double-Dee for the idea that the gang's next stop will be Wutai!
