1 Chapter Ten…A Hunting We Will Go
"One of those dragons is bound to be able to lead us to the mastermind behind all this. A group will take the Falcon and follow one of them. The Red Wings will take care of the rest of them," Edgar explained.
"Sounds good to me, but who all is going in the Falcon?" Edge asked. "I nominate myself."
"Alright, Edge is one, and I make two," Edgar said.
"Well, if you're going, then so am I," Sabin declared.
"I wish to go as well," Cecil stated.
"And me, too. You may need me," Rosa stated.
"And I am definitely going. I have to pilot the Falcon," Setzer stated.
"Good. That should do it. The rest of you will board the Red Wings and get rid of the remaining dragons," Edgar said. The others nodded.
A few moments later, Edgar, Sabin, Edge, Cecil, and Rosa boarded the Falcon, piloted by Setzer.
"You be careful, Edgar," Terra warned.
"I shall," Edgar assured him.
"And that goes for you, too, Cecil," Kain said. Cecil nodded. Then Setzer lifted the airship off the air. The Red Wings soon followed suite.
Edgar's plan went off seemingly without a hitch. While the others were preoccupied with the Red Wings, one of the dragons's slipped off. The Falcon followed.
"This is easier than I thought it would be," Sabin stated.
"Yeah. Too easy," Edgar replied.
"Do I turn back, Edgar?" Setzer asked, noticing Edgar's unrest.
"No, keep going. We might as well play this thing out to its finish," Cecil said. Edgar nodded.
The Falcon followed the dragon to a cave at the top of a mountain. The dragon vanished within the cave.
"Setzer, can we land inside the cave, like the dragon?" Edgar asked
"Yeah, I think so. The mouth of the cave is big enough."
"No, don't do that. I have a feeling that would not be wise," Cecil stated.
"Okay. Sabin, lower the rope. Setzer, get us as close as you can," Edgar said. Setzer complied, and the rest of them climbed down the rope and entered the mouth of the cave.
"Okay, everyone, stick together. This is uncharted territory, and we don't want to be separated," Edgar commanded. His comrades nodded.
They began to follow a long tunnel deep into the mountain's interior. About five minutes into the cave, they heard a loud laughter, then a deep voice.
"Ah, visitors. Welcome to my home, even though you forgot to knock."
"Show yourself, demon!" Edge yelled out.
"Yes, so we can finish this face to face!" Sabin added.
"I would love to, but then again, what would be the fun in that."
"Come out! We'll see who will be having fun at the end of this fight!" Edgar said.
"You'll have to find me, King of Figaro. But first things first…"
Suddenly the floor beneath Edgar opened up, causing him to drop into a hole.
"Edgar!" Sabin cried out.
"Don't worry, you'll join him soon enough!"
Then Sabin fell down a hole that opened underneath him. Cecil was nearby and grabbed his arm, stopping his fall. Meanwhile, behind him, Rosa shouted as she too fell down a hole, as did Edge. Cecil was too busy trying to keep a hold of Sabin to help them. "I hope they will be okay," he thought. But then the hole around Sabin got wider, and both of them found themselves falling.
The last thing Cecil remembered was falling…
