Return to the Evil Forest


Chapter IV: Return to Lindbulm

The Red Rose touched down about a half an hour after Zidane was summoned. Baku and crew loaded the slowly petrifying buggy onto the ship and the Red Rose took off, bound for Alexandria.

The moment the Red Rose touched down, Tantalus helped remove the now stone buggy from the cargo hold. Zidane looked at it and sighed.

"Bunch of imcompetent cretins..." he mumbled.

"What did you say?" Baku snapped.

"I said where are the freakin' lizards?"

"...oh..." Baku scratched his head. "I didn't know you wanted any...but, I think they're under the front seat."

"Okay, I don't EVEN want to know..." Zidane shuttered, knowing the lizards were probably petrified by now.

-----------------------------------

After having dinner at the palace, Zidane flew Tantalus back to Lindbulm. They docked long enough just for Baku and crew to get off, then the Red Rose roared out of there with haste.

"Man, he sure has changed..." commented Blank.

"Love'll do that to a guy. That's why I'd suggest staying away from Rose, Bro, or you'll end up like that." Marcus pointed out.

"Hey!" Blank glared at Marcus.

"I heard that..." Rose yelled from the end of the dock.

"Bwahaha! You fools head back to the hideout. I have a bone to pick with Ciddy here." Baku chuckled. Tantalus left for the theater district while Baku went into the palace. It was funny that none of Tantalus noticed the two Lindbulmain Guards that were following them...
