Tantalus Goes on a Adventure
Well thanks to the good review I got I'm gonna go ahead and put up chapter 2 :)
Zidane, Marcus, Blank, and Cinna took the Hilda Garde 3 back to Lindblum. Zidane got to borrow it after he came back, so it was easy getting back to Lindblum. First they went to see Baku. They found him back at the Tantalus hideout.
"Hey, how's it going?" Zidane asked Baku when he went into the hideout. "Well, look who it is! Baku said. "How've you been Zidane?" "Pretty good," Zidane replied. "Everything going great with you and the Queen?" Baku asked. "Yep, it sure is!" Zidane told him. "We might be getting married sometime in the next few months, but right now we're just planning on the time." They stayed there talking for about another 10 minutes, until Baku brought up the treasure. "Okay, boys, now that you four are back together, I want to tell you about your mission. On the Forgotten Continent, somewhere south of Ipsen's Castle, I have heard of a great treasure. It's supposed to let you rebuild something easily, which is why we need it. Zidane, even though your not in Tantalus anymore, we would like you to help us find this treasure so we can get the Tantalus hideout built better. Our repairs are going slow, but with that treasure we could make it look good as new AND build on to it."
Zidane was pretty excited since it had been a while since he had been on any adventures. He immediately said "sure, no prob" just as Baku finished talking. Blank, Marcus, and Cinna were all happy that Zidane was gonna help with it. This would be their first great adventure together in a long time. "I will stay back here in Lindblum," Baku told them. "I'm still discussing these plans with Regent Cid. He wants to use the treasure to build a new airship, but I want to finish the rebuilding of the Tantalus hideout, so were having issues on that." "Okay, boss," Marcus said. "You just take it easy, and we will get that treasure!" "There's my boys!" Baku said happily. "Okay, so were off!" Zidane said, getting very excited about this adventure. The four of them left Baku behind, and they went to the Weapon shop and the Synthesis shop to see if any new weapons had come in.
The shops didn't really have any new stuff, just the same old weapons as always, so they went and bought some potions, hi potions, and a tent instead. "I'm sticking to my Ultima Weapon anyway," Zidane told his bros. After they were all armed and ready to go, the four of them jumped into the Hilda Garde 3 and were ready to go to the Forgotten Continent to look for the treasure.
"Okay, so it's south of Ipsen's Castle!" Zidane said enthusiastically. He steered the airship until it pointed south of the castle. Blank stayed on the lookout for it. They suspected it to be a hole in the ground, so that's where they looked. Cinna was the first to spot something. "Hey, look over there!" he said. They all looked, and sure enough there was a small hole that they could barely see from the airship. Zidane landed close to the hole and they walked to it.
The hole was bigger than they thought. "Hmm, I wonder when this hole got here?" Zidane wondered. There was a small entrance that lead somewhere underground. From outside they could hear sounds from the hole. "No telling what's in there," Cinna said in a shaky voice. "Well, were not doing any good just standing out here," Zidane said. "Let's go in and find out!" The sounds frightened Cinna a bit, because he wasn't as experienced in fighting as his friends. But he was ready to go in.
They all took a deep breath before moving down into the deep depths of the hole, unaware of what they would see or face.....
The 3rd chapter should be up in another day or two. R+R for now though!
