Chapter 13: Gargant roo

" 15,000 Gil!" The auctioneer yelled. " 20,000!" I yelled. " Hmm" " 20,000 Gil going once!" The auction man yelled. " 25,000 Gil!" The auctioneer yelled. " Uh oh, I just have one more cent left! 25,001 Gil!" I yelled. " Hmm," The auctioneer thought. " Any more?" The Auction man asked. Hearing the silence of the room he yelled " Sold for 25,001 Gil!" He yelled. " Yah! Wahoo!" I yelled jumping up and down. The auction man gave me the jewel and I stared at it intently. " You know you got ripped off for that Jewel." The man said. " I don't care, it is all worth it to me." I said putting the jewel in my pocket. I went to the docks and saw Steiner and Dagger getting ready to head off in to doctor tots with Marcus. " What took you? Marcus asked. " I went shopping." I replied as we went into the boat. " For what?" Dagger asked. I fished in my pockets for my Topaz and showed it to her. " How much did it cost?" Steiner asked. " 25,001 Gil." " You idiot! That was all our money!" Steiner yelled. " What, you don't got any money?" I asked. " Of course not!" " Well as a captain, I thought you would be more prepared." I said softly. " I can't believe you sold all our money for a stupid Jewel!" Steiner scowled. " Wait Steiner, come look at this." Dagger said admiring the Jewel. Steiner looked. " I don't see anything." He said. " How can you not see it? It is as plain as day, Ifrit's image is in it!" I yelled. " I am curious to why you can't see it either." Dagger said. " Hmm, maybe only summoners can see it, no one else was able to see it except me at the auction." I said. We walked up the long stairs to see doctor tot. " Garnet!" Tot yelled. " Oh doctor!" Dagger yelled back. " It has been a while since I've seen you." Tot said. " Sorry to brake up this happy moment but we are looking for the way to Alexandria- No we are looking for a way to cure Blank!" Dagger interrupted. " Hey, this is a new thing to me! Why didn't you tell me we were going to- is there anyway to be cured after being petrified?" Marcus interrupted. " Well, there is a way.you have to get the Super soft." " Where can we find this Super soft?" Steiner asked. " I think I've got some." Tot said. (Now that is not really the way it goes but just pretend it is) He handed Marcus the Super soft and Marcus put it in his pocket. " Now you said something about getting to Alexandria?" Tot said finally. " Yah we were- we want to know what the shortest route is from here." Steiner interrupted. " It just so happens there is an underground tunnel leading to Alexandria from Treno, it is called Gargant roo." Tot walked up his ladder and opened a little passage at the top. Since everyone kept interrupting me I decided not to say anything, but it was odd that just when we needed it there was an underground passage.

Zidane had just waken up from his nap. He walked around the quiet village; everything was peaceful and happy. Vivi was an acceptation though, he was accused of being something he was not. Zidane wanted to comfort Vivi but all he could say was, " Anything I can do to help?" " I don't know, I just don't feel right when these people are telling me I am bad.I am not bad am I?" Vivi replied. " No you are a good person. You just need to show them that." " Really?" " Really." It was quiet for a while.a little too quiet. They looked over the now empty streets of Clerya. " Where is everyone?" Zidane asked. Just then a scream of terror came out, " Help! The prince is caught!" A soldier yelled. " What is going on?" Zidane asked. " The Prince is caught by a monster!" He yelled. Quickly Freya and Quina came and they went to battle the monster. Gargant roo was kind of a creepy place. It gave away a sort of dark droopy feeling to it. " Go down and pull the switch, then the Gargant will come." Tot said. " Goodbye tot!" Dagger yelled as we all walked down the path. " Okay, I'll pull the switch, you all catch the.thing when it comes." I yelled running towards the switch. I pulled down the switch and for a second nothing happened. " Hey, I thought this thing would work." I said accidentally kicking the switch up. We paused and then we heard an odd noise. " Here comes the Gargant!" Marcus said as we all hopped on. We all sat in the seats. I sat with stupid old Steiner and Dagger sat with Marcus the moron. " Well things seem to be running smoothly so far." Marcus said. We all heard a strange slithery noise and a hiss sound. " uh oh," I said standing up. The Gargant stopped and shook the seats we sat in. " Don't worry, I'll go see what is going on!" I said jumping off. " Holy Geez! That snake is huge!" I yelled drawing out my sword. The snake hissed at me and I gave it a good slicing with my sword. Though my hit was powerful it didn't take as many hit points as I expected. " Flames of Heck!" I yelled summoning Ifrit. The Jewel from my pocket glowed. I gave this summon all my might and what do you know it killed the snake! I hopped back onto the carriage and sat down. " Don't worry, you guys didn't miss anything." I said as the Gargant made it to Alexandria. " Home again." Steiner said. " Man I can't wait to tell Beatrix all the stuff I went through!" I thought to myself as we walked up the stairs. We walked for a little while until this huge gate blocked our way to moving on. We ran back and that was blocked too. " No!" I yelled. " He he, trapped like rats!" Zorn yelled. " Let us go you idiots!" I yelled. " Idiots we may be but smart idiots!" Thorn said. Soon Dagger and I were transported into Dagger's room. The queen and the mystery man I had seen the night before showed up. " Hey, I know you!" I yelled to the man. " My name is Kuja." The man said to Me. He walked up to Garnet and Garnet started walking away from him. The Kuja caught her and cast a sleeping spell on her.
