Chapter Six: The Returners Together Again!


"No way!" Cyan yells. "The moon?!?"

"Yes. We even saw the ship take off. Stright up and into space." Relm says.

"Humm..." Clyde goes.

"I think it may be time for us to get the old group back together." says Setzer. "Execpt for Sabin and Terra, of course."

"And Strago." Relm added.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot." says Setzer.

"You mean get the others? We really don't know where everyone is." says Relm.

"Yeah. But we do know where Edgar is, of course." says Sabin.

At that moment, Clyde walks out the door. They were still in Narshe. It has now been about 4 hours since that spaceship took off with Terra and Sabin, and Banon and Arvis. It was Setzer, Cyan, Relm, Mog and Umaro.

"What about Celes? Didn't she and Locke get married?" asked Cyan.

"Yes. Oh yeah, they now lead the MagiTek Center for MagiTek Knights. A place for the training of those that where fused with the powers of the Espers that Kefka stole." Mog said. "Where is this place at?" asked Setzer.

"Where Kefka's Tower used to stand." Mog said.

"Let's go." said Setzer.

"Where?" asked Relm.

"To the center." said Setzer.

"Alright!" Relm yelled. "But where's Clyde?"

Edgar and Josh sailed on toward the docks that were just 3 hours from the town of Narshe.

"Edgar, don't you have a twin brother? Is that who you're going to see in Narshe?" asked Josh.

"Yes. His name is Sabin Figaro. We share our kingdom. I rule the top half and he rules the bottom half. It is our way of sharing." Edgar says.

"Hummm...." went Josh.

"What?" asked Edgar.

"Look." Josh points at a ball of light going higher and higher up in the sky.

"Aliens...." Edgar says under his breath. "Can't be."

Then a airship took off.

"SETZER! I must be late." Edgar says. "Get me to Narshe now!"

"Yes, sir!" says the captain of the boat.

Clyde walked in the montains behind Narshe. He left the group before he could tell them that he was Shadow. But before he left he grabbed the Striker sword from Relm stuff. She couldn't use it anyways.

Before the others left, Mog and Umaro stayed behind to look after things in Narshe. And they were coming back here to investagate things. One of those things was Clyde.

Mog walked up to Clyde. "Kupo? Clyde?"

"Yeah?"

"Why aren't you with the others in the airship?" asked Mog.

"....Mog, I have to tell you something." Clyde started to say. "I have only told Cyan this."

"What?"

"I am Shadow. Or I was Shadow. Joining the Returners made me return to my old self." "Shadow?" Mog said, followed by silence.

"I am also Relm's real father."

More silence.

"What wrong, Mog?" asked Umaro.

"Nothing, Umaro. Let's go on." Mog says. "Mog....Be careful." Clyde says.

After arriving at the MagiTek Center, the three, Cyan, Setzer, and Relm went around in search of Locke and Celes. After looking and waiting for an hour, they found them.

"Hey guys! What are you all doing here?" asked Locke.

"Banon's alive." said Relm.

"Banon? Alive? Really?" Celes said.

"Yes. We saw him and Arvis with our own eyes." said Setzer.

"Whoa. Is this all of this commotion we have been hearing about in Narshe?" asked Celes.

"Yes." Relm said.

"Isn't Terra there?" asked Locke, worried.

"Yeah, and they took off with Terra and Sabin jump on board." Relm said.

"They? Who's they?" asked Locke.

"Banon, Arvis, and Nemby." said Setzer.

"Nemby?" went Locke.

"The leader of the Luniarains." said Setzer.

"Luniarains?" Celes said, slowly.

"Wait, this is too much. Why don't you tell us from the start. Ok?" asked Locke.

"Sure." Relm said, as they started telling Locke and Celes the story as of the moment.

Gau walked out onto the battle field. A group of former Empiral MagiTek soldiers stood in line awaiting to be drilled. Each of the soldiers was infused with the espers magic back when Kefka and Geshtal ruled the now distoried Empire. They are waiting to be tought on how to use the magic that they now have.

"Attention!" yelled the squad-leader of the soldiers, as Gau walked into the formation.

"I am Gau. I will now be your new drill-sergeant. I..." Gau was saying, until Locke and Celes runs up to him and interupts him.

"Gau! The Returners are getting back together. Dismiss your group and get your stuff ready. I'll tell you about it later." Celes says, quickly.

"Returners!" Gau said. "Returners are friends!"

"Yes. Just get going."

"Ok. You are dismissed!" Gau yelled to the soldiers.
