FINAL FANTASY: THE DARK TIMES: CHAPTER 7





*Author's Note: I know it's been a while since I put up a new chapter. . . I hope no one has stopped reading because I was going through what you call a writers block, and I needed some new material for my story, so here it is. . .*

*Authors Note 2: Oh yeah--- We left off with Mog and Sabin having a wild dash throught the woods being chased by someone, and it ended up to be Gogo. A beast destroyed Gogo's island, so in return for helping Sabin and Mog find Edgar, it wants them to help destroy the beast.*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The three friends walked through the open field.
"How far do we have to go?," complained Sabin.
Gogo whispered to Mog.
"About 7 hours north-east," Mog said.
"WHAT!?!?!?!," Sabin exclaimed.
"Yup, that's what Gogo says," said Mog.

The three walked and walked. It was a boring walk. Occasionally Gogo would whisper to Mog, and Mog would tell Sabin how much longer they had to walk.
About 5 hours into the walk, Sabin got tired.
"Let's take a rest," he said.
"Yeah, me and Gogo are about to collapse," Mog said.
They all sat down in the high grass.
Gogo fell back into a deep slumber.

"He, or she. . . or whatever, Gogo, really snores loud," said Sabin.
"Yup," said Mog silently as he leened back into the grass.
Mog could just barely be seen because the grass was so tall. It seemed to have gotten a lot thicker since they had left the woods. Strange.
"Well Mog. . .," Sabin started, then noticed Mog was fast asleep too.
Sabin decided he would take this opportunity to have a little sleep himself. He lied back into the grass and dozed off. . .

"Hey brother?," asked Sabin, "How come all the girls like you?"
"I don't know Sabin," replied Edgar, "Maybe it's my modesty?"
"Ha ha ha," laughed Sabin, joking, "Funny!"
"Ha ha ha," Edgar joked back, "Maybe it;s my charm? Ha ha ha!"
Sabin and Edgar finished getting their stuff packed.
"All ready to go?," asked Sabin?
"No, not quite, I just need to pack a few more things. . ." said Edgar.
"OK, but don't bring too much, we're only going on a hike in the mountains," said Sabin.
Edgar packed some more provisions into his bag. "All set," he said.
Sabin and Edgar walked side by side out of the Figaro castle.
They marched across the desert and to the mountain range.
"Someday, we'll climb to the top," said Edgar, "We will be the first."
"That day will come," said Sabin.
The two started climbeing. They climbed for quite a while, and it was starting to get a little cold. Sabin rubbed his own arms.
"Here brother," said Edgar, "Have my extra coat to keep you warm."
"Thanks," Sabin said, accepting the coat from Edgar.
"I packed it in case you needed one," Edgar replied.
They kept hiking up the mountain. They were further up now, and it was getting harder to see.
"Maybe we should head back?," said Sabin.
"No way, let's go for the top today!," said Edgar, "We can make it!"
Sabin went along with it, because well, his brother is the king.
They kepy going and it kept getting colder and colder, but then, for some reason, it started warming up.
"What's going on?," asked Edgar.
"Hold back, let me go ahead," said Sabin.
Sabin took a few steps forward, but then got knocked back.
Red lights glowed from the front of whatever it was.
Edgar jumped out of the way as a Fire Beam blasted through the snow.
"MAGI-TEK ARMOUR!!!," screamed Edgar, spitting snow out of his mouth.
"Edgar!," hollared Sabin, jumping back up to his feet, "Stay down!"
Edgar obeyed his brother and stayed down.
Sabin jumped at the soldier riding the armour.
Sabin pinched him in the face, but the soldier punched back, knocking Sabin into a snow bank.
"You are going to pay for that," said Sabin.
The soldier unleashed another fire beam. It cut through the snow.
Edgar looked over, as the beam seemed to cut through Sabin.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!," he hollered.
The steam from the snow dissapeared, and Sabin wasn't there, he was beside the hole.
"Missed me," said Sabin to the soldier.
Sabin stood up. He felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up. Rage and fury filled his body. He felt like killing.
He jumped at the soldier, and did the BUM RUSH around and around, pummeling the soldier into submission.
Sabin landed on the ground beside Edgar.
"You saved my life again," said Edgar, "What would I do without you brother?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sabin woke up.
"That was weird," he thought, "I haven't thought of that in years. . ."
Sabin lied back and stared into the cloudy sky.
