"This is Treno, the City of Nobles." said Steiner, as Dagger, Rayman, Globox, Murfy, and the new acquaintance of Marcus joined him inside the gate. Marcus had joined them in the cable car on the way into Alexandria because he was going to get some Supersoft in Treno to cure a member of Tantalus (the group Zidane I from) from being petrified.
"We need to find out which noble has the Supersoft." said Dagger (Garnet).
"Good luck." said Rayman.
"Actually, there aren't many nobles living here. The nights are long. It's a great place for thieves." said Marcus.
"People like you turned this city into a slum!" said Steiner angrily.
"...Let's steal the Supersoft and get this over with." said Marcus.
"Steal!? How dare you! Do you think I'd let you commit a crime before my very eyes!?" cried Steiner.
"How else would we get the Supersoft?" said Marcus.
"Quiet! I will not allow such disgraceful behavior!" said Steiner.
"I never asked you to come along. Quit complaining." said Marcus.
"Don't you talk back to me! First of all-" started Steiner.
"Why don't you two be quiet!?" yelled Dagger.
This startled the two, who immediately stopped bickering.
Then Marcus led them all to a inn, down the stairs, and onto a dock, where a rather fat man was waiting for them. "Hey boss. These guys are gonna help us..." said Marcus. Then, he said in a whisper to the 'boss,' "And they're coming whether we like it or not. I can't get rid of Dagger, and the others are following her."
"Baku! You're helping too?" said Dagger to the 'boss.'
"Hey, we've gotta save a member of our team! Of course I am!" said Baku ('boss').
So they took a small boat to a warehouse, and were looking around for the Supersoft when a small person who looked a bit like a red-feathered bird (he even had a beak) in scholar-like clothing. "Why Princess!" he said.
Dagger told him a small part of their tale, and he told them to meet him at his house, and gave them directions. About thirty minutes later, Dagger, Steiner, Marcus and Rayman's gang were in the scholar's house. "It's good to see you again, Dr. Tot." said Dagger. Steiner agreed. Dr. Tot talked with Dagger a long time, and gave Marcus the Supersoft. Then Dr. Tot told them all of a quick way to get to Alexandria. Dagger agreed, but said she wanted to go look at the auction house first. Then she got there and bought quite a few things. As she was about to leave, she saw a strange man in a balcony overhead. "... I've seen him before..." she said quietly. Then she left to go back to Rayman and the others.
Dr. Tot brought them into a underground cavern, where he called a giant ant-like thing called a Gargant, which had a basket to ride in attached to it beneath. Dagger, Steiner, Marcus, and Rayman's gang leapt in, and took off to Alexandria, Dr. Tot waving goodbye. "He was nice." said Rayman.
Meanwhile at the auction house...
Everyone had gone, as the auction was closed for the day. Everyone, that is, except for the auctioneer and the strange man Dagger had seen before in the balcony, who was revealed to be Kuja. "How was Burmecia?" asked the auctioneer.
"Not bad... better if I didn't have to see those vermin and the ugly elephant-lady. They offended my senses." said Kuja, tossing some of his hair back.
"You must be tired." said the auctioneer.
"It's not over yet. The rest of the vermin must be done away with." said Kuja.
"Will you be heading to Cleyra, then?" asked the auctioneer.
"Yes, I trust you will deliver them." said Kuja.
"Certainly. I shall prepare now..." said the auctioneer.
"By the way, did you see a pretty lady in the crowd today?" asked Kuja.
"A pretty lady? Shall I arrange a meeting?" said the auctioneer.
"There's no need. The canary I've been after... She flew into my cage of her own free will." said Kuja, mostly to himself.
The auctioneer looked at him, one eyebrow raised.
"Never would I have imagined running into you in a place like this. It must be fate. But you cannot rest your wings yet... Fly home to your mother, my little canary. I, too, will welcome you home with open arms." said Kuja. He smiled wickedly and chuckled to himself, then slowly walked away from the confused auctioneer.
