Chapter Twelve: Space Play II


After landing in Kolingen, the group; Setzer, Cid Merryweather, Celes,
Locke, Cyan, Relm and Gau; all started making plans on the spaceship that they were going to make.

Setzer, Cid and Cyan stayed in the Inn and talked about the plans while
Relm and Gau walked around town and Celes and Locke got a room and decided to take a nap.

"Relm, what did this Nemby look like?" asked Gau.

"He looked normal."

"Oh."

A pause between the two.

"Gau, do you think that Terra and Sabin will be ok?" asked Relm.

"Yes. Both of them can take care of themselves." Gau responded.

Another pause.

"I hope that they will." Relm said.

"Relm, this may not be the right time for this, but I just wanted to tell you that I...I l.like you." Gau said.

Pause.

"That's sweet, Gau. I do have to say that you've changed a bit since I
first met you, but I don't think that anything can happen." Relm said.

"Oh. I sorry then." Gau said.

"No. Don't be. It was sweet. I liked it. But right now all I can think
about is Sabin and Terra." Relm said.

"Oh."

Inside, Setzer, Cid, and Cyan were going over the plans.

"I hope this will do it." Setzer said.

"It will. I've done it all before." Cid said.

"You sure that this is all the changes we need to make to the airship to turn it into a spaceship?" asked Setzer.

"Yes." Cid said.

"Ok then, we should get started. Setzer, go get Locke and Celes. I will
round up Relm and Gau and we'll get started." Cyan said.

Rose and Edgar had took the fairy from Nikeah to Narshe in search of Terra, one of the Returners that killed Kefka some years back. Recently, Edgar has lost his memory. Rose had lost her memory back when Kefka brought the "End of the world." Rose had met up with Edgar in Nikeah and told him what she was doing and invited him along with her to see if maybe they could help him too, if they could at all.

Now, they have arrived at the dock area of Narshe and traveled into the town and started they're search.

"Ohh....it's cold here." Rose said.

"Yeah. Now, this Returner, what's her name?" asked Edgar.

"Terra." Rose replied.

"Ok. Ask around. I'll go to the Inn and see what I can find there."

"Alright. I head to all the shops." Rose said.

"Let's meet here in one hour."

Shadow, Josh, Mog, and Umaro made it to the town of Kolingen, and saw that Setzer and some of the other Returners were here. They walk into the Inn where it just so happened to have Setzer, Cid Merryweather, Cyan, Relm, Celes, Locke, and Gau working on a structure for a spaceship.

"Returners!" Mog yelled.

"Mog? Umaro? S.." Relm stopped when she saw Shadow, remembering what Cyan told her the night before about him being Clyde and her father.

"Relm. You look...lovely." Shadow said.

"Shadow?!? What do we owe the presence?" asked Celes.

"HA! I'm helping these three." Shadow said.

Relm walks out of the Inn, into the outside.

"Shadow, tell her. She needs to hear it from you." Cyan said.

"Did you.."

"Yes. Maybe I shouldn't had, but I did. I felt she needed to know." Cyan said.

Shadow walked out of the Inn and saw Relm standing by herself, crying.

"Relm...I meant to tell you, but I was amazed tha..."

"Save it. I don't need to hear all of the garbage." Relm said, coldly.

"Why do you do this, Relm?" asked Shadow. "I am your father. But I just
couldn't bring myself to tell you for what it could do to me and you."

"I SAID SAVE IT!"

"AND I AM YOUR FATHER AND DON'T YOU TALK TO ME THAT WAY!" Shadow shouted at Relm. "Oh man, see what you're doing? I didn't mean to yell. I just want you to understand why I left you with Strago."

"Why did you?"

"I felt that I couldn't take care of you. At the time, your mother was
killed and I was traveling with a friend. I couldn't always take you with me everywhere."

"Why didn't you ever visit me?"

"When my friend was killed, I was mad and I became Shadow. I mastered the black arts and I just forgot about you."

"Until you met me again when you traveled with the Returners, right?"

"Yes. I was amazed at your beauty. You were a pretty child. And you are
very pretty now."

"Well..."

"You have a boyfriend?" asked Shadow.

"At the moment, no. But Gau has almost asked me out."

"Gau? He has started to look good. Did you say no?"

"Not really. I didn't give him the chance to ask. He told me he liked me and I said that I thought that nothing could ever happen."

"The same line your mother said to me."

"What? Were you..."

"Ugly? Not quite, but I wasn't handsome either."

"I liked you better as Clyde, instead of Shadow."

"So did I. Are you going to go out with Gau?" asked Shadow.

"Maybe." "Relm, I'm sorry. Could you forgive me?" asked Shadow.

"Well, I'll think about it. Let's go back to the group."

Back inside the Kolingen Inn, Josh started telling the group about what may have happened to Edgar.

"Hurt?!? Killed?!? No...not Edgar." Celes said.

"Yeah, you aren't lying to us are you?" asked Locke.

"No, I not. We lost him after the boat crash sailing from Narshe to South Figaro. There was a very bad storm." Josh replied.

"He is telling the truth." Mog said.

"I believe you, Mog, and I believe Josh, but I am wondering if he's alright and..." Celes said.

"He's ok, Celes." Mog says. "I sure."

Relm and Shadow walk in.

"Who's ok?" ask Relm.

"Edgar.

"What? Is something wrong?" asked Relm. Josh told Relm and Shadow what
happened.

"Oh my god..." Relm said.

"There's not much we can do." Shadow said.

"We know. We do need to get our plans for the spaceship done." said Celes.

"Right. Cyan, let's get started." Cid said.

----

"Sabin? Is that you?" Terra said, weakly.

"Yes. It is me. How are feeling?" Sabin asked.

"Great......but when....are they going...to do...whatever they are going to do?"

"I don't Terra. I don't know....." Sabin trailed off. He couldn't stand to see Terra like she was. He turned to Nemby and Banon. "I demand that you let me take her back! She can not do this!"

"What?" Terra said.

"It is not your choice, Sabin." Nemby said. "It is her destiny."

"HER DESTINY IS WHAT SHE DECIDES TO DO!" Sabin yelled.

"Stop, Sabin! Yo...."

"I will not stop until you two give her back to me!" Sabin pulls his sword out of the case strapped to his back.

"SABIN?!? You do not know what you are causing. We can save her!" Banon
said. "Then do it now. Or I'm taking her with me back to Earth."

"Fine. If the process fails, it will be because of you. And she could..." Nemby said.

"DO IT!"

"Fine." Nemby said. "Number 1, bring me the crystal."

A robot glides over to a wall and picks up a round and shiny crystal and brings it over to Nemby.

"Are you sure that you want this, Sabin?" he asks.

"Yes."

"Alright. At this moment, it could fail."

"It could fail anytime. JUST DO IT!"

"Wait....what did you mean, Sabin, when you said 'She can't so this'?" Terra asked.

"I'll tell you later."

"No. Tell me now."

"They....they have plans for you...."

"Plans?"

"They were going to power you up and use you to kill a man by the name of Zeromus." Sabin said. "He lied to me, you, and everyone else, Terra."

"Banon?" Terra stared at Banon and Banon looked down.

"That was true. But Zeromus is a major threat and still on his way."

"And you were going to ask me to kill him?"

"No."

"What do you mean no?"

"Nemby thought that implants were necessary."

"IMPLANTS?!?" Sabin said.

"No....." Terra was in disbelief.

"Nemby. Who are you really?" asked Terra.

"What do you mean?" asked Nemby.

"Who are you, for real?"
