"THAT-THAT-THAT-THAT SCOUNDREL! is HE one of the intruders that's hounding the princess!? quite literally might I add!? hold on dear princess! Adelbert Steiner is on his way to the rescue!" says Steiner, trying to figure out a way to get to the other tower...where both Zidane and Garnet are. The former chases the latter around in a ring a few times...before Garnet decides to stop all of a sudden. "Huff...huff...huff. Stop...stop following...me! huff. You...you uncouth...barbarian! don't you...huff...know...where to take no...huff...for an answer!? huff." says Garnet, trying to regain her stamina. "Y-Yikes, you...quickly lost your stamina there, huh? ! just hold on a second! we need to talk! are you...by chance? …" says Zidane, both slowly and carefully trying to approach Garnet without her making a sudden reaction of fear towards him.

"! E-Enough! don't pester me, anymore!" says Garnet, as she pushes away Zidane's hand. "!?" Zidane's hand hurts like heck when slapped, using the other hand to try and calm the pain of the 1st one down. "H-Hey! I'm only trying to help, you...here!?" says Zidane before then noticing that Garnet is standing on the edge of the tower. "!? What in the!? what is the princess thinking!? PRINCESS! get down from there, immediately!" says Steiner from across the other side. But the noise of the audience drowns out his plea and leaves Garnet and Zidane to their own devices, as it were.

"O-Oi! don't go doing something stupid and crazy here, you'll get yourself hurt!" says Zidane, desperately trying to convince Garnet to step down from the tower's edge. "...Tis my own body, no? I shall do as I please." says Garnet, refusing to heed Zidane's warning. "!? Are you STUPID!? we're talking about dear life here! YOUR LIFE!" says Zidane, greatly angered by the way how in which Garnet treats her one and only life to live, causing her...great shock and surprise by his earnest expression alone. She knew that if a person was trying to kidnap her and if they were forced into a corner by her sudden actions to escape, would they...risk their very own lives in order to follow her? Garnet had decided. To test that theory!

She decides to jump off the side of the tower! causing Zidane and especially Steiner on the other tower horrific reactions. "P-P-P-PRINCESS!" shouts out Steiner, his shouting still being bloated out by the massive noises of audience cheering right down below. "...!?" Zidane however then notices that in truth, Garnet is actually...holding onto and swinging with a rope towards the Prima Vista! "Ugh!? … h-heh. That's...one heck of a woman...! wait! this is no time to be impressed! I've got to go after her! let's see..." Zidane tries to figure out a way to chase after Garnet. He immediately comes to the same conclusion that she did-travel by rope!

Steiner nearly toppled over from the tower with a heart-attack before at last noticing what Zidane was doing. Was he fleeing the scene after failing to kidnap the princess whom committed presumed suicide? no! most surely not. Because of a mixture of Steiner refusing to accept "reality" and wondering what Zidane was plotting by grabbing onto the show ropes, he just knew that something was up. Using quick witted instinct from being a knight, Steiner had decided to follow Zidane! by way of travel ropes too! Zidane, after finishing preparing himself with a rope...then begins to follow after Garnet whom successfully landed on the Prima Vista. "Okay...got to make this one count...all or nothing! HUP!" says Zidane, clearing his mind...before taking the plunge.

He follows through with Garnet's madness all the way and as he travels with the rope and sees the scenery down below and all around, he wonders. Was this the same kind of excitement that Garnet was feeling when she did this just moments ago? Zidane...was ecstatic at the thought. Vivi with Puck on the ground coincidentally notices Zidane-his favourite actor of the show up above in the sky, the young Black Mage wonders if this was part of the performance or not. Regardless, he thought to himself as he saw Zidane "fly" the words-"W-Wicked cool!" thought Vivi, now thinking more highly of Zidane then ever beforehand. Steiner on the other hand...had less success with "flying". "That foul kidnapper! a curse upon him if the princess had died because of this sheer lunacy! one-two...GULP! T-THREE!" shouts out Steiner, beginning his own rope sequence.

Unfortunately, compared to both Garnet and Zidane in order...Steiner, the last of the three rope travellers, hits an unexpected snag. "!? N-N-N-N-N-N-N! !?" the rope could not hold his heavy weight and thusly, the trajectory was lowered and rather then land where both Garnet and Zidane did, he lands elsewhere on the airship...rather crash instead of land. He says to himself upon "successfully landing" the words "D'Doi…l-landing...s-successful..." says Steiner, his foot twitching afterwards.

"...Phew! A-Okay! that was dangerous! but fun too! anyways, now then. To find the princess! she's got to be somewhere around here..." says Zidane, as he begins to search around the Prima Vista. "!? Z-Zidane!? why the heck are YOU here!? and where's Blank!?" says Cinna, finding Zidane onboard the airship. "! Cinna! great! just the help I need! hurry! we need to find princess Garnet!" says Zidane. "!? W-W-WHA!? you mean, she's HERE!? what the heck happened!? you didn't scare her away with your antics did you!?" says Cinna, demanding an answer. "No! well, yes. Look it's all complicated! the fact is right here and now she's onboard the Prima Vista, we've got to find her!" says Zidane, wanting to spend no time at all waiting around to find the princess.

"! R-Right. If you say so, okay then! guess that means the job's half done at this point. We just need Baku, Marcus and Ruby to finish off the play in the nick of time." says Cinna, running with Zidane to find where Garnet is hiding. "Yeah, if boss can learn not to spew forth anymore nonsense for the sake of a play. Seriously, that guy LOOOVES the spotlight and doesn't know when exactly to shut up when all eyes are on him." says Zidane, knowing what kind of a man that the captain of Tantalus is like. "Y-Yeah, true dat..." says Cinna, agreeing with Zidane about their boss-Baku.

"LADIES! GENTLEMEN! we are now about to reach the performance's final act. Please hold onto your seats and prepare...for the GRAND finale!" says Baku as the narrating commentator, revealing...that things...were all about to draw towards a close.
