Chapter 2 -----------
Everyone walks into the room and sits down around Baku.
Baku- "Here's the plan! Tantalus, the infamous band of daring thieves (that's us), is headin' to the Kingdom of Alexandria...Our mission: to kidnap the heir to the throne, Princess Garnet!"
Cinna- "I'll take it from here, so listen up! Our ship's about to dock at Alexandria...And when it does, we're gonna put on our costumes...and perform 'I Want to Be Your Canary,' the most popular play in Alexandria! Break a leg, Marcus! 'Cause you're playin' the lead!" Marcus- "Leave the actin' to me! Of course, the real kidnappers'll be Blank and Zidane."
Blank- "I'll distract the audience from backstage with these little buggers. I can't stand oglops...But I'll manage, so don't worry about me. And that'll be your cue, Zidane!"
Zidane- "Okay! That's when I kidnap Princess Garnet, right?".
Baku- "You bet! You're gonna kidnap the most babe-ilicious beauty in all of Alexandria, Princess Garnet!"
---Zidane's P.O.V.---
Man, so far it is all the same...what if I truly did dream exactly what is going to happen? How weird. I wonder if Garnet will be trying to escape or not. It is so hard to accept the fact that I dreamt that hole thing up. I guess I better go get ready to do some acting. Zidane walks to his room and lies down for a while until Blank calls him to come down and get ready to go on stage.
---3rd Person---
Zidane walks up behind Blank who is backstage and they watch as Baku starts the show.
Baku- "Ladies and Gentlemen! Tonight's performance is a story that takes place long, long ago. Our heroine, Princess Cornelia, is torn from her lover, Marcus. She attempts to flee the castle, only to be captured by her father, King Leo. When our story begins, Marcus, having heard this, crosses swords with the King. And now, Your Royal Majesty, Queen Brahne, Your Highness, Princess Garnet...noble ladies and lords, and our rooftop viewers, Tantalus proudly presents 'I Want to Be Your Canary'!"
Zidane, Cinna, and Blank are practicing their lines backstage.
Blank- "Bereft of father! Bereft of mother! Marcus! Thou hast lost even they love!"
Cinna- "Fortune hath escap'd thee! For what end shalt thou live?"
Zidane- "For the sake of our friend...Let us bury our steel in the heart of the wretched King Leo!"
Cinna & Blank- "Aye!" At that they run out onto stage and join Marcus in a battle with King Leo (Baku) and 2 soldiers. Blank -"We shall back thee, Kinsman!"
Marcus- "Pray, sheathe thy swords! This villain is mine alone!"
Cinna- "Nay, Kinsman! For I, too, have lost a brother to this fiend!"
King Leo- "What ho? Out, vermin! Away! Thou darest bare thy sword before the King!? All who stand in my way will be crush'd!"
Zidane- "Treacherous Leo, my Kinsman's suffering shall not be in vain! For I shall instruct thee in his incomparable pain!" King Leo- "Arrg... Grrr...Thou hast not seen the last of me, Marcus!"
Zidane- "Come back! Out of my way, Blank!"
Blank- "Consider this, Zidane! If Prince Schneider were to marry Princess Cornelia, peace would reign over both their kingdoms!"
Zidane- "'Tis foolishness! If all were so easy, why, none would suffer in this world!" Then zidane and Blank have a swordfight scene out in the middle of the crowd. As this finishes Blank and Zidane run off stage and into the castle where they beat up two guards for their armor.
Blank- "Hehehe! Finished changing Zidane?"
Zidane- "Yeah, but this helmet...It kinda smells..."
Blank- "What are you talkin' about!? My helmet totally reeks! My armor's way too big...And my back's real itchy...The boots are wet...My gloves are all slimy...There's cookie crumbs in my pocket...
Zidane- "Okay, I get the picture...You still have the package, right?"
Blank- "Don't worry! I won't screw up!"
Zidane- "Alright! First, I'll go pour some sleep potion into Princess Garnet's teacup!"
Blank- "And I've got a special something for the lovely queen!"
They walk into the next area and start talking again.
Blank- According to reckon...the royal seats should be right above these stairs!"
Zidane- "Got it!"
The crowd cheers in the background.
Blank- Uh-oh! The scene where Marcus sneaks into Cornelia's chamber is about to start! Let's get this over with before the finale, okay?"
---Note--- Okay, I know this chapter was just like in the game...but from here it will change a bit....so just be patient with me...thanx...and please review!
