Okay, here it is. Sorry it took so long. But I had about three essays on Art Nouveau and Philippe Starck to write about. Trust me, I would have MUCH rather done this!

Anyway, here it is. A little hastily slung together, but here.

I don't own Final Fantasy blah blah blah. Trust me, if I did, Blank would have a bigger part, A sequel to both 7 and 9 would be in the works and I'd completely revamp 10's ending (AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO HATED IT???)

Chapter 3



"Mogster!" cried Moggy. "Mogster!"

"Moggy!" shouted Mogster. "Why didn't I teach you some more words?" he moaned.

Just then, he heard someone come running through the marsh grass. He turned just in time to see Ruby clamber out of the grass. When she saw Mogster, she smiled and pointed back the way she came.

"Huh?" asked Mogster. "Did you find something?"

Ruby nodded enthusiastically.

"Show me!"

* * *

"Wow!" exclaimed Mogster. "I never knew about this place!"

Ruby had led him to a strange opening, cut off with a rusty chain. A sign hung haggardly near the entrance, 'Fossil Roo'. Just then, a voice cried out.

"Mogster!"

"Mog must be in there!" Mogster said, and flew into the darkness. "Come on!"

With no other options, Ruby followed.

* * *

"Its so dark" commented Mogster. "Do you know any magic?"

Ruby shook her head. She could barely see the moogles small pom pom.

"Wait. There's a light up ahead" answered Mogster.

* * *

The two ran into a well-lit cavern. There was mining equipment in one corner, but no Moggy.

"Where is he?" Mogster complained.

"Mogster!!!!!!!"



The two looked up to see where the sound was coming. A large Gargant was crawling along a vine, and tangled in some strange vines on one of its legs, was Moggy!"

"Kupo!" he cried.

"The Gargant must have been stuck in some vines!" Mogster shouted. "I've always told Moggy to never leave a creature in trouble!"

~If he falls from there . . .~ Ruby thought. ~I just hope he knows how to fly~

The Gargant left the chamber, and the two followed it, Ruby grabbing some flowers on the way.

~Maybe I can get it to stop~ she thought.

* * *

"Ah! Mogster" Screamed Moggy to his brother, who was flying beside him.

"Don't worry Moggy" consoled Mogster.

He waited until the Gargant had entered the next chamber, and he could see Ruby. Mogster had remembered Gargants hated water, and if they cut off its path, maybe it would stop long enough to free Moggy.

"Now Ruby!" he shouted.

Ruby saw the three enter the chamber, and pulled hard on the lever. A large jet of water burst over the vine. The Gargant shrieked, but stopped.

* * *

Now that the creature had halted, Mogster had no trouble ripping the vines from its leg, and freeing his little brother. Carefully, he flew down near Ruby, hugging his brother tightly.

"Moggy! Don't ever scare me like that again!" he scolded. "Are you okay?"

"I fine! Kupo!" squeaked the Moogle.

Ruby smiled at the reunion. But stopped when she heard a loud shrieking. The three looked up, just in time to see the Gargant jump from its vine, and land near them.

"It looks angry!" said Mogster. "It must have gotten wet."

The Gargant shrieked, and charged at the three. They scattered, and, hesitating for just a moment, chased Ruby.

"Ruby!" shouted Mogster, ready to help.

"Ruby!" squeaked Mog, imitating.

But Ruby turned her head and shook it, still running. Imitating the smaller Moogle, she said.

"I fine! Kupo!"

~The Gargant's too big to fit in this tunnel~ she thought. ~And I don't want my friends to get hurt~

With that, she ran down the nearest exist. The Gargant, too fast to stop, crashed into the walls around it, bringing a rockslide down over the tunnel. The Gargant, brushing off its headache, leapt back onto a vine and dashed out. Mogster and Moggy just took cover, not wanting to leave Ruby.

* * *

Finally, the Rocks finished falling, and the two Moogles wandered back to the cave. But Mogster realised he couldn't help. There was no way to move that many rocks. Ruby was on her own.

"I hope you'll be okay, Kupo" sighed Mogster.

* * *

Ruby coughed, the dust clouding her face. She hadn't expected her way out to be closed off, so she had to keep wandering down the tunnel, hoping to find an exit.

Just then, a beam of light flickered round a turn in the tunnel. Elated, Ruby dashed towards it, and came face to face with an exit.

Running out, she was surprised to find the place nothing more than a desert, not even a inch of grass.

Then another realisation. There was no mist! But the entire mist continent was covered in mist. Hence the name!

~I must have come through to another continent~ Ruby thought. ~I'm just like that explorer in Lord Avon's play!~

She turned back to entrance. ~I can't get home through Fossil Roo, so I'd better find somewhere to get a boat or something . . .~

She scanned the land. Finally, she spotted a strange looking monument hanging over a ledge. If she squinted, she could make out something moving . . .

~Maybe they can help~ she decided. ~Or at least give me something to eat~

With a new burst of energy, the girl ran towards the ledge.

To be continued . . .
