Author's Note: Some people will never believe how hard it is to be a motivated author… Basically, if there's no motivation (Reviews), why bother continuing? Criticize, man, Criticize! Oh, yeah, lack of updates because of minimal reviews.

Disclaimer: Only the luckiest of people can own Terra. I have never had good luck, so I gave up when I first beat the game. However, Squaresoft owns her, so I guess lucky people exist…maybe. I own Kelos only.

(Terra and Kelos walk into the cave where the previously perished Wood Chuck's body lied)

Kelos: Hm…

Terra: Hm?

Kelos: …Hm…

Terra: Hm?

(Kelos walks into a cleared area, banging his head against one of the classic video game spikes that hang down)

Kelos: OUCH!!

Terra: (looks up) I've seen something like that before.

Kelos: (pulls out a book and starts rummaging the pages)

Terra: What's the book called? Can you read it very well in the dim light?

Kelos: (thinking quickly) Knowledge of the Ancients is the books title. I've been trying to figure out it's writing symbols' definition…

Terra: Can I see it?

Kelos: (Thinks of telling her no, but remembers previous chapter) …alright.

Terra: (Takes the book and starts reading with no effort: *Kelos: The American Pirates are just ahead…we must be cautious of the traps on the floor.* She hands the book back.)

Kelos: (Sweatdrop, stammering) Um, um…the…am-am-Ame--

Terra: American Pirates? Yeah, they're ahead…we need to be cautious of the floor's traps, right?

Kelos: (Bigger sweat drop, meek voice) There. (Points to a random location on the floor ahead, the spot glows and a text box appears over it: *Trap is here. Step for full effect.*)

(Suddenly, a moogle appears from the glowing spot.)

Moogle: Kupo! I am KaKaro! You can call me VeKaKo though!

Kelos: (regained confidence) Which do you perfer?

Moogle: (Ponders) Call me KaRat.

Kelos: All right, Carrot…Why would there be a spot that glows in the middle of a small cave that I've explored 15 times over and never seen before be there?

KaRat: That's KARAT, and moogles will be invading this chapter.

Terra: I thought that only mog could talk that well?

KaRat: Of course not! In the game, I was his stunt double. Of course, that jerk got paid all expenses…I got snubbed. His own Double!

Kelos: Um…I think she ditched Sabin too…

Terra: I didn't ditch them, they merely had to part.

KaRat: So, you just go around making friends to depart with them?

Terra: No, no it's not like that. You see, I didn't want them involved with what I plan on doing.

Kelos: And I had to go along because she was being cruel to some white haired guy in chapter 2.

KaRat: I see…So you two seek the Esper Cave?

Terra: How did you know that?

Kelos: (Seems everyone else except for her had a script…Oh well.)

KaRat: Like Kelos, I am a mind reader of sorts.

Spike on Cave Roof: HEY! PROGRESS!

T,K&K: Okay, sorry.

Terra: So, where is the Esper Cave?

KaRat: That's irrelevant.

Kelos: Why?

KaRat: Because a Ravenous American Pirate is watching you from deep within this cave. Beat him and I'll unlock the EC.

Terra: Alright. (*Father, here I come.*)

Kelos: Okay. (*I wonder if this trial is like the dreaded Wood Chuck?*)

SoCR: (to Kelos' mind) No.

(The moogle stays in one spot, while the other two venture deeper into the cave. Out pops a weirdo in a mask.)

WiaM: I am the Pirate of Challenges! I challenge you to a PIE EATING CONTEST!!

Kelos: Hm…sounds easy. Anything else?

WiaM/PoC: Yeah…they are sliced into 10 and stacked 13 high.

Terra: So, 130 pieces of pie?

WiaM/PoC: Yep! And the most useful information you'll get from me, is they are scalding hot!

Kelos: I accept your challenge!

WiaM/PoC: (Sinister Chuckle) Follow me then, both of you.

Now the tables have turned. Challenges are appearing all over the place.

Moogles are appearing again. Kelos is going to try to eat 130 slices of unknown type of pie.

What will happen? What kind is it? Is somehow this Act/Adv/Hum Fic losing sanity?

Perhaps…
