Waking Nightmares



Kid, Serge, and Glenn met early the next morning. They had decided to go get breakfast.

Kid yawned and stretched. "It's too early for me! Why'd I even agree to this?"

In reality, she was a bit afraid of the dream she had last night. But she wasn't about to admit that. Serge and Glenn would tease her non-stop for being scared of a dream!

But what she didn't know was that they were also afraid...that they had all had the same dream...

"Kid?! You there!?" Serge was waving his hand in front of her. "We asked what you wanna eat!"

".....er, anything's fine, mate. Whatever you guys want." Kid smiled to show everything was all right. Serge and Glenn obviously bought it, because they didn't ask anymore questions.

The journey to the restraunt in Termina was quite uneventful, unless you count a fight against a mama dingo as interseting. Everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts.

(.....is Lynx really back? Is he really going after Serge?) Glenn thought. (And the Omni Dragon..what does he want? Why does he want revenge on the humans? It was FATE who sealed him up...) He shook his head. (It was a silly dream. I'm not a child anymore. I can't be frightened by all this nonsense.)

".....hey! What's that? Up ahead!" Serge called.

Bright orange light....a huge black body, soaring above the tall buildings......and above all the noise and confusion, a voice.....a very familiar voice....

"Death to all the humans!" it shouted. "They who think they're better than everyone else! We shall eliminate all humans!!!"

"......Lynx....." Kid breathed. She yanked her Prism Dagger out of it's sheath and started to run foward.

"Wait!!!" Glenn yelled. He grabbed her arm. "We can't just go rushing in!"

"Glenn, get it through yer thick skull! Thousands of people are gonna die, mate!!! We gotta help them!!" Kid screeched, wrenching her arm free.

"Kid, Glenn's right! We can't! It could have serious consequences for us! For me!" Serge told her. Too late did he realize his mistake.

".......consequences....." Kid repeated, looking hard at Serge. "A dream......did ya have it, too!?"

".....yes......."

Kid turned to Glenn. "What about you?"

"Yes."

They stared at eachother.

"But.....we have ta help everyone.....some of our friends are in Termina!" Kid cried, toying with her dagger.

"At the cost of Serge's life!?" Glenn asked furiously. "We can't risk it!"

"Kid...I'm sure they'll get out in time...." Serge said reassuringly. "And....they'll help the others.....they won't just abandon everyone...."

Glenn nodded. "I think Karsh, Zoah, and Miss Riddel are there.....they'll get everyone out. We should probably just lie low......"

Kid was outraged. "What are ya talkin' about!?" she shouted. "We can't just-" she stopped. An awful noise filled the still air.......

...the dying shrieks of people in agony.....

Serge and Glenn shifted uncomfortably as a voice rang out.

"Oh, Serge!! Are you here?! Or are you to afraid to face your destiny!?" Lynx called out menacingly. "And you, too, Kid! Or have you already forgotten what happened to your precious Lucca!? Aren't you all going to fight me!!!??"

Kid could take no more. Without another word to Serge and Glenn, she sprinted off toward Termina.

"Kid, no!!!!!" Serge called after her. "Don't go!!!" But it was too late. Serge felt a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"She'll be okay." Glenn told him. "She's Kid. She'll be just fine."

Serge sighed. "I guess you're right....." he hesitated. "Maybe we should go after her...."

Glenn thought. It was wrong for an Acacia Dragoon to abandon his friends....."I'll go. You stay here, Serge."

"What!?? No way! That's-"

"It's the only way! Think of how Kid would feel if you died!" Glenn shouted at him. "I'm going to help her and you'd better stay here!!!!!" He ran off in the same direction as Kid had.

Serge sighed angrily. No way he was going to stay here! Kid and Glenn could be fighting for their lives, and he was sitting here saving his own ass. (Ha! I'm outta here! I have to help them!)



Kid glared up at Lynx. "So, ya finally decided ta show yer ugly cat- face again, eh!!?"

Lynx grinned down at her. "Why, Kid! I'm glad you could join us! You're just in time to witness the destruction of the human race!!!!"

"The only thing that will be destroyed is you, Lynx!!"

Kid spun to look at the newcomer. "Glenn! What are you doing here??!"

"I came to help you, Kid!" he answered.

Lynx sneered. "Well, isn't that nice. You both can die together. But first, tell me-where is Serge? Too scared to show his face, is he? I thought so!"

Kid gestured wildly with her dagger. "Afraid!? Maybe of yer ugly face, but nothin' else!" She took a running leap and landed on the platform where Lynx was standing. "But it doesn't matter! I'll take ya out, here and now!!"

Glenn drew his two Einlanzers. But suddenly, he was attacked from behind! A large group of Cat Burglars ran up behind him. " Kid! I'll be there in a minute!"

"It's okay! I can take care of it meself!!" Kid yelled back. "Okay, Lynx! Show me what ya got!!!"

Lynx chuckled. "Fight? I don't want to fight." He snapped his fingers. Ropes appeared out of nowhere. They wound themselves around Kid's slender body.

"Ugh!?" she cried. "Ahhhh!"

Lynx walked foward and grabbed her. "You'll make perfect bait for Serge, yes?" he hissed in her ear. "Omni Dragon!! Let us go now! I think we have caused enough terror for today!"

Glenn finished the last of the Cat Burglars. He swung around to see Lynx taking Kid. "Noooooo!!!" he shrieked, running foward. But it was too late.



Serge ran as fast as he could to get to Termina. Then he heard Glenn's shout. "Glenn!? Where are you!?"

"Serge...Kid!! Lynx took her!!" came the distant reply.

Serge looked up. The Omni Dragon glided through the clear blue sky...with Lynx and Kid on his back!

"Kiiiiiiiiiiid!!!!" Serge yelled. "Lynx! Come back!!" He ran to Glenn. "We gotta help her!"

Glenn sat up. "Yes...we must. But how? Who knows where his hideout is! Terra Tower is too obvious!"

Serge raised his chin. "We'll find it. We have to save Kid."
