Meanwhile, back in NY:
Yuna and Tidus are wandering the streets of Manhattan, looking for Bob and Jess. Yuna and Tidus are still having their fight, about the summon.
Tidus: Are you still mad at me?
Yuna: How could you do this to me? I've trained my whole life just to become a summoner, and you just all of a sudden take Shiva from me. You are supposed to be my guardian, not some guy stealing from me!
Tidus: I didn't choose her, she chose me.
Yuna: What?! Ok fine! Have a good time with her. See if I care.
Tidus: Listen, this is no time to get jealous. Let's continue this later. I think I see Bob over there. Is that him on his knees, crying?
Yuna walks over to him and puts her arm on his shoulder getnly.
Yuna: What's wrong? What happened? Where's Jess?
Bob: *sniffle* We fought a big hooded figure. While I was knocked out for a bit, he captured Jess, and when I was back up, I saw nothing. Jess wouldn't just abandon me. Oh I'll kill him!
Yuna: I'm sorry. She was your best friend, wasn't she? Awww...I'm sorry. *hugs Bob*
Bob: Bye.
Tidus: Where do you think you're going?
Bob: To find Jess. Where else do you think I woulde be?
Yuna: Don't we don't even know where she is.
Bob: And just leavbe her there? What if she dies?
Tidus: She won't She captured him so he could gain something, or maybe draw you into a trap. We need to get to Kuro and the others first in Japan.
Bob: Okay, let's get on Phoenix.
Everyone hops on Phoenix. Bob is still depressed, and he can't get his mind off of it.
Yuna wraps her arms around Bob's waist.
Bob: Thanks Yunie, I needed some comfort. *Bob's cell phone rings* What now? Oh Kuro. *gulp* What am I supposed to tell her?
Tidus: I think it would be best to tell her about it once we reached Japan.
Bob: Right. *picks up phone* Hello?
Kuro: Hey, ......Bob. What's up?
Bob: *Sighs* nothing much. We are on our way.
Kuro: What's the matter?
Bob: Nothing.
Kuro: Can I talk to Jess?
Bob: We fought a tough hooded guy, and she is in a state of shock. It's best to leave her alone right now. I'll talk to ya later.
Kuro: See ya in a bit.
*hangs up*
Tidus: Way to go liar!
Bob: I didn't lie. I never said that she was here.
They land in Japan and they see the others.
Roy: Where's Jess?
Bob: Jess?
Zidane: Man, now I know you can't take care of girls.
Bob: Zidane, can it!
Kuro: Bob, where's Jess?
Bob: I'm sorry, but Jess kinda got kidnapped.
Kuro: WHAT?! Where were you? Aren't you guys suppoed to be PiCs?
Bob: We are, but I can't get her now I have no clue where she is.
Zidane: Why you..... *punches Bob 3 times.
Bob: OW!!!
Kuro: Hey, save some for me! *scratches Bob across the face*
Vivi: G-guys! Stop it right now!
Dagger: Zidane, cut it out! *slaps him*
Kuro: *Roy is holding her back* I'll kill him!
Bob: *cries* Fine! I'll go, since Jess was the only one that cared aboout me. If you want me, I'll be in NY looking for her.
Roy: Don't go, we need your magic.
Yuna: Bob, we need your skills, and you're so sweet.
Bob: Thanks. You are always so kind. Kuro, do you forgive me?
Kuro: Hold on my cell phone is ringing. Hello?
Hooded Creature's voice: If you ever want to see the girl alive, bring me the head of the black mage.
Kuro: No problem.
Bob: Gee, thanks.
Jess (in the background): W 122 43.
Voice: Shut up! *he slaps her*
Bob hears everything
Bob: Why you son of a...
Vivi: Bob, calm down.
Tidus: We'll get her back.
Zidane: Now, to fulfill our order.
Kuro: Yeah!
Dagger slaps Zidane
Zidane: Ok fine! I'll let him live.
Bob: Did you guys hear what Jess said?
Kuro: Yeah so? What does it mean.
Bob: There's only one thing it could be. W122 43, she said. That means she is on the corner of West 122nd street and 43rd avenue!
Roy: But since we are all here, let's just find the remaining summons.
Vivi: R-right!
Back in NY, where Jess has been kidnapped.....
Voice: There is no hope for you now. WHen they bring me the head of the black mage, I will kill both of you.
Jess: NO!!!! Bob!!!!!!
Voice: Yes him! Muah-hahahahahaha
Jess: I always knew you were powerful. Not only that, you are so goddam gorgeous. Come here, hot stuff!
Voice: Who me?
Jess: A-hole!!!!! *scratches the hooded guy, 3 times across the face and he has big cuts on his cheeks* Never mess with Bob's PiC!
The Hooded Creature goes to the back and takes care of the cuts.
Jess: Yeah! I didn't think so!
KURO: *blink* D*mn localization...!
(The city had seemed strangely quiet. That in itself was disconcerting. There were people, but it still seemed as if there was less than there should be. Roy, Zidane, Vivi, Dagger, and Kurohime had regrouped in a small area just outside of Tokyo. Kuro is still sitting on Bahamut's shoulders.)
ZIDANE: Well, we made it.
VIVI: Anyone know what we're supposed to do next?
KURO: *finally getting down off the dragon* We've found them. The two summons that we came for.
DAGGER: Two? Are you sure?
KURO: Yes. Well, heh, if I'm wrong then we'll find out soon enough. *she takes the pendant and dismisses Bahamut from their party* Thank you, Bahamut.
(A familiar voice echoes in her mind.)
BAHAMUT: Do not fear my power. Do not fear your power. Others will need to learn that, as well.
KURO: *softly* Others....?
ROY: Did you say something, sweetie?
KURO: *shaking her head to snap out of it* I... I'm not sure I... *stops* Eh, never mind. I'll figure it out.
ROY: *a beat* Are you sure? What happened?
KURO: It's just something Bahamut told me. It doesn't quite make sense. *shakes head* I'll figure it out.
(They begin to make their way out towards a more rural area. They stop at street sign reading TSUIKIMORI - "The Moon Forest Road")
KURO: Why are we walking? I can drive! Why are we walking? Why does everyone walk now?
ROY: Dramatic irony?
KURO: I'm still....
ZIDANE: *running ahead of the party* Hey, wait a minute. I really don't remember a there ever being place called Moon Forest in Japan.
ROY: *joining him* You know, you're right. There was never anything like ths before.
VIVI: I don't remember that, either.
KURO: I don't get it...
ZIDANE: Well, anything really weird is worth checking out, right? Shall we?
ROY: I'm for it.
KURO: Heh. Sure. Why not? I've seen it all. Might as well add "mysterious forest road" to the list.
VIVI: Are you sure about that, Zidane?
ZIDANE: Of course I am!
(And off they go, following the Moon Forest Road!)
