1 Chapter Two…Fighting



By the time Kain returned from Dragon Canyon, Cecil and Rosa had gathered everyone else together at Baron Castle. Cecil was astonished by Kain's newly repaired armor. "It looks brand new! he thought.

"Thank you for coming so quickly. I have terrible news, my friends. There is a terrible monster roaming our world. And we have to stop it."

Edge groaned. "Will this EVER end!? Will we EVER have ANY peace?"

"I know how you feel, Edge. I don't want to fight anymore either, but we have to stop this thing or parish. It already attacked Kain."

"Kain's been hurt?" Rydia asked worriedly.

"He was, but Rosa cured him," Cecil explained assuringly.

"Where is he?" Edward asked. Cecil explained that the Dragoon went to Dragon Canyon to repair his badly damaged armor. "What do we do in the meantime?"

Cecil looked at his friends and said, "Train."



The scene was set. The allies looked over the field, awaiting the inevitable. Kain had rejoined them just moments before. He had made it to the Canyon and back without incident. Now they waited for their enemy to arrive.

"What if he doesn't show?" Edge said.

"Well, all you would have to do is look at him and he'd faint dead away from the very look at you. And the smell," Cid said from near the ninja.

"WHAT! I DON'T SMELL!" Edge yelled.

"We don't have time to bicker. That monster could be here any minute, and from Kain described, it's the biggest one we have ever faced," Cecil snapped.

Cid smirked. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall."

"It's a wonder you can stand on your feet, then, Tubby." Cid glared at him.

Suddenly the whole ground shook. Edge and Cid stopped arguing. "What—what was that?" Cid stammered.

"That…is our enemy," Kain said coldly.

A huge giant appeared seemingly out of nowhere. It was gigantic, with glowing eyes and a fierce appearance.

"Oh my—" was all Rosa could manage to get out before the beast noticed their presence. He raised his fist, ready to strike.

Suddenly a tremendous bright light enveloped both the heroes and the giant. For several moments, none of them could see a thing.
