In Vector, all was quiet again. Soldiers were patrolling, citizens were
trading and talking. Vicks and Wedge were patrolling the upper areas of the
Castle. Celes was inside studying her magic. Terra was practicing magic in
the Gym. So, no one was aware of the pending danger that haunted them. The
danger that could only affect young ones. What is it?
"Fire 2!" Terra yelled as she shot flames at a wooden target across the Gym. The target burned to ashes in about 3 seconds. "Well, that's enough training. I'm getting tired." She went to her room to rest. She slowly drifted off to sleep and suddenly awakened in a strange room. Only she wasn't really awake... she was in some sort of dream world.
"Hello... anyone here?" Terra called out. She was answered by only the darkness. She wandered around until she heard a very familiar laugh. "Uwee hee hee! You're finally here, girl! About time you came to see me!" it said. Terra looked around, but she did not see anything that might be talking to her. "I'm over here! By the bookcase!" the voice said. Terra slowly goes toward the bookcase and pushes it aside. "That's right! Push the bookcase... AND DIE!!" the voice yelled as an axe flies right past Terra and hits the other bookcase! "What!? Kefka!?" Terra frantically asked. Kefka appeared in front of her. "Yes, my dear? I am here! And I'll eliminate you!" he said.
Terra turned and ran through the dream world as fast as she could, but Kefka was also fast. He could easily keep up. "This is my world! You can't outrun me!" he called after her. Terra tried to lose Kefka, but he seemed to know every twist and turn. "I have to escape! Wake up!!" Terra urgently cried. Kefka was gaining on her. Suddenly, Terra hit a large bookcase in front of her and awakened on her bed in her room. She was clearly frightened. Celes came in to check on her. "Terra? I thought I heard you calling for help." she said. Terra looked at her. "Uh... it was just a dream. It's nothing." she explained. "Kefka was in it... it seemed real. I'm all right, don't worry."
Celes left the room. Terra could still hear Kefka's evil laugh in her mind. She got up and left. Suddenly, she heard a child screaming. She ran to the source and found the child dead. A group of citizens and soldiers gathered around. "Oh... that's little Lucy Wale.... what happened?" someone said. Celes arrived and checked things out. "But the idiot's dead... how could the murders continue!?" Wedge asked. Mrs. Wale ran up and saw Lucy dead. "Oh no! What in the name of Alexander happened here!? Lucy just laid down for a nap in the park and now she's dead!" she wailed. "Wait... Kefka said... that he'd be back. That we'd pay for this. Wedge was right! Kefka's coming back from the dead!" Celes exclaimed. Everyone turned and looked at Celes with surprise.
"Celes... no one can come back from the dead. This is just silly!" Terra said. Wedge came running out of the castle. "Yo, what happened? I heard someone talking about Kefka coming back or something." he said. "Kefka's back..." Celes said grimly. "He got Lucy Wale..." Wedge looked at Lucy... "Oh.. he is back... I was only kidding about him coming back... but he did... he really has come back." he said. Terra remembers her dream... "...Kefka... in my dream... maybe it's true.." she wondered. Terra ran back into the Castle. She found another child dead in the Library. It is little Ray Brown. He must have fallen asleep while reading. "Strange... no blood..." Terra observed. Celes came into the Library and sees Ray. "Oh... how did he die?" she asked. "Kefka must have strangled him!" Terra said. "I'm going in! Wake me up if I struggle!" Celes nodded and stood guard. Terra drank a slumber potion she found in her room and quickly fell asleep. She found herself in the bookcase room again. Kefka was not there. Instead, there were many spiders crawling around. "Oh... Fire 2!" Terra yelled and her flames burned enough spiders to let her pass.
"Uwee hee hee! First Lucy, now Ray! I'm on a roll!" Kefka exclaimed. Terra heard him through one of the bookcases. She pushed it aside and dodged the axe that came flying at her. It knocked the bookcase over. Terra saw Kefka mercilessly killing another child. It looked like Sandra White. "Die! Die! Uwee hee hee! Huh? What the hell!?" Kefka said. Terra stepped up to Kefka. "Your killings days are over, Kefka!" she threatened. Kefka grabbed his giant axe and swung it hard. He missed Terra and hit a bookcase. It fell over and trapped him. "No! I can't be beaten!" he yelled. Terra checked Sandra. She was already dead. "Uwee hee hee! I got her! Now I can take more lives once I get to Albrook!" Kefka said. "That's not going to happen!" Terra yelled. "Fire 3!" A massive ball of fire blasted Kefka and scorched him bad. Magic was the key to winning! "Ouch! How can that hurt me!?" he screamed in anger. Terra readied another one. "Magic can hurt what weapons cannot." she explained. Terra fired another blast that knocked Kefka backwards. He couldn't get up. "Terra! I'm taking you with me!" Kefka screamed as he prepared for his attack. "Merton!!!". A large wall of fire suddenly flew through the room, burning everything to ashes. Everything except for Terra... she survived the blast! Thanks to the Fire Vest she had found in the Imperial Armory. She had put it on just in case something like this would happen. What luck!
Kefka disappeared from view and Terra woke up with Celes looking at her. "I did it... Kefka's gone." she explained. Celes helped her up. "He's gone... so, everyone can sleep now?" she asked. "Yes... for now... I have a feeling he might come back however... someday, he'll be back." Terra said. Terra and Celes go to their rooms and go to sleep. Neither one of them has any bad dreams of Kefka. But will this peace last forever? Is Kefka going to come back? Terra is still worried. And she is waiting... waiting for him.
Continue? Perhaps.... in time.
