Chapter Thirteen: The Next Move

----

Gogo was standing in front of the viewing globe, watching the warriors,
Setzer, Relm, Shadow, Cid Merryweather, Locke, Celes, Mog, Umaro, Josh, and Gau, were building a space-craft to fly into space and save their friends, Terra and Sabin, who is currently located on Earth's one and only moon. Gogo decided that it was finally time to wield the power of the sword that he has been gaurding for years and give it to the right person, so they can save the world from the threat that now faces them. That person is Terra. But he must help the warriors on Earth

Gogo walks away from the globe and walks over to the Power Sword and pulls it from out of the ground. He is one of only five people that has been worthy enough to wield the Power Sword, and now only two remain alive anywhere, him and Terra. Afterwards, he walks though the doorway and out of the cave.

----

After one hour of searching the town of Narshe for the Returner, Terra, that is currently on the Moon, Edgar is tired. He has asked around the town for her current location, but all he got was "She was kidnapped by aliens." Rose, who also has been searching for Terra, came up with the same.

"Well?" Rose asked Edgar. "Hear anything?"

"Yeah...everyone says that she was kiddnapped by aliens."

"Same here...that means..."

"We get no help from the Returners..." Edgar said.

"I'm sorry, Edgar."

Just recently, Edgar had lost his memory during a storm where his ship was wreaked and he was lost to his mates, Josh, Mog, and Umaro. Rose is also without her memories, for she lost her's when the evil man named Kefka almost distoried the entire world out of madness. Foranately, the Returner's had killed Kefka. Edgar had been one of those Returners.

"It's alright....At least I did meet you...someone else who's alone in the world without her memories. At least you have more than I." Edgar said.

"Edgar?" a voice behind Edgar said. Edgar turned around to see a robot draped in brightly colored clothing.... Gogo.

"Yes?" Edgar asked.

"It is you. I know who you are and you must follow me. You and Teresa both."

"Teresa?!? You know me also?" asked Rose.

"I know OF you, but I have never met you. I will be traveling to the Moon very soon and the two of you must follow me. I can help you both."

"If you know me, than who am I?" asked Edgar.

"You are King Edgar Figaro of the kingdom of Figaro."

"King?!? Me? I am a king?"

"We have not much time. Let's not waste what we do have. Come."

----

"Is this it?" asked Relm.

"I hope so, little one." Cid said.

"It has to be." asked Locke. "Terra and Sabin needs us."

"Are we going to go without Edgar?" asked Celes.

"Edgar? Well...." Setzer said. "We don't have much time...."

"Just leave without Edgar just like that?" Josh said.

"Edgar is prefectly alright." Mog said.

"You sound like you're assuring yourself, Mog." Locke said.

"I am." Mog said. "But I am pretty sure that he is."

"HE'S A RETURNER!" yelled Gau.

"And a Returner is forever, right?" asked Celes.

"A Returner is forever!" said Relm.

"FOREVER!" yelled Gau.

"But we don't know where he's at...." asked Setzer.

"We must vote. Should we look for him? Or should we not look for him?" said Cid.

"I say we search." said Relm.

"Look for him." said Celes.

"We have to test flight the ship, first. Just to see if it fly, otherwise, we no longer have an airship." Setzer said.

The group of ten warriors has gathered to contruct an airship to travel in space.

"We test the ship then look for him!" said Umaro.

Everyone turned and looked at Umaro, who is almost always quiet.

"Right!" said Gau.

"Then let's do it!" said Setzer.

"Wait." Gogo and Edgar and Rose suddenly appeared in front of the group.

"You are missing one thing. The power of the Power Sword. It is required if you want this thing to fly."

"GOGO?!?" Relm yelled.

"Power Sword? What a way to make an entrance, Gogo."

"EDGAR!!! IS IT YOU?!?" yelled Relm.

"You people also know of me?" asked Edgar.

"You're safe!" said Celes.

"Yes. I guess so. I reconize you people but I...I don't remember anything." said Edgar.

"What happened?" asked Relm.

"The storm..." Josh said under his breath.

"I was found by a family....They brought me back to health. And..." Edgar said.

"Then he met me. I have been in search of the Returners for weeks." Rose said.

"We are the Returners." said Gau.

"Yes. I have been hoping that you people can help me."

"Help you how?" asked Locke.

"I also have lost my memories. I have been trained though." Rose said. "I have been called a fine warrior, maybe I can help you..."

"My research lab could be the ticket...." Celes said. "Maybe..."

"We have to goto the moon!" Cid remined the gang.

"Oh yeah..." Celes said.

"Moon?" asked Edgar.

"Long story..." Celes replied.

"Really long!" said Relm

"Meaning you can't help me?" asked Rose.

"Well...."

Setzer started to think about Terra and Sabin, who was on the moon.

"PEOPLE!!! WE HAVE TO DO WHAT WE HAVE BEEN PLANING FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS!" Setzer yelled.

Everyone quieted down. "Good. Girl, what is your name?" asked Setzer.

"Rose."

"Ok. Rose, you go with us. We're going to the moon. Gogo, give Cid the
Power Sword and let get this thing going!"
