Chapter II : Returner's

" Here we are" Said Edgar breathing hard.

"Where" Terra asked.

"The Returner's hideout" Locke said with pride.

The walked up to a man. "Oh King Edgar, Right this way please."

They followed him to a door and went inside. "Banon! We brought the girl with us"

Banon walked over to Terra and looked into her icy blue eyes." Is she the girl who can talk to Espers..."

Terra whispered confusingly " Espers....?"

Edgar interrupted " It seemed the Empire had complete control of her"

Terra backed up in shame.

Banon continued " Carrier pigeons brought word that you wiped out 50 of the Empire best men in a matter of minutes!"

Terra yelled" That's a lie"

" Terra" Locke said worryingly walking over to her to cheer her up.

"Banon" Edgar yelled with anger " She doesn't remember ANYTHING!"

Banon turned around " Stay where you are..!" He walked over to Terra "Perhaps You've heard this story. ( story on italics)

Once when people were pure and innocent there was a box. They were told to never open it . But someone did anyway. He unleashed all the evils of the world:

Envy...Greed...pride...violence...control... All that was left in the box was a single ray of light: Hope. Today we control these evils... and you, Terra, are our ray of light, our only Hope."

"Banon!" Edgar yelled.

"I'm so tired..." Banon said " Let me rest"

He walked out

******************************************************

Terra woke up to see Locke at the corner of the room. She walked over to him.

He stared talking when she walked over to him. " Someone important to me was jailed by the Empire. I've hated them ever since." He looked over at Terra. " I joined the Returners when I realized they were rotten to the core. I wanted to make a difference."

Terra looked at him." I have no Significant " Other" in my life..."

Locke shook his head. " That's not entirely true. I'm sure they're people that feel YOU'RE important to them... They're counting on you."

She smiled and walked out.

*******************************************************

She walked into a room, Sabin was there. She walked over to him and he said "The only thing I can add is that you can trust my brother implicitly. He's always been fair with me ... You can trust him Terra." He looked around like he was looking for something. " Don't you DARE tell him I said that." He laughed.

She walked into the room, the same room she met Banon . Edgar was there..

"It's going to be tough talking you into helping us..... If we push you too hard, we're no different than the Empire... We want you to make up your own mind."

She walked out confused. How will I know what's right. What if I choose the wrong side. So many thoughts. Crap! I'm giving me a headache.

She walked to a guard in front of the entrance to the hideout.

" Where's Banon" She asked.

" Banon! He went outside a couple of minutes ago" He move so she could go out.

"Thanks"

*************************************************************

She went outside. It was beautiful. The breeze was so calm. The sun's ray sent warmth through her body. The aroma of flowers was very pleasant.

Banon walked up. " Have you made your decision yet?... Will you become our last ray of light?"

"YES"

Banon jumped back in surprise. " YOU WILL...... REALLY!!!!!"

Terra was unsure. " But.....I'm scared"

" The person who possesses this relic will need not fear harm...please Terra....I'd like you to take this with you.

He took something form his pouch.

" What is it!!!!!"

" A lucky charm...Take it... It's a Gauntlet"

He thought for a moment." I have a plan! Please get everyone together."

She nodded.
