Chapter 4
A week had passed and the Festival of Hunt was ready to begin.This time,Freya,Steiner,Quina and
Amarant participated.Of course,there were others,too,but this time,not so tough hunters.Zidane,Vivi
and Garnet were at the little bridge built over the street at the Industrial District.
"Hey,boss,it's Zidane."
"Baku!Cinna!Cool,you're here too!"
"Sure,we couldn't miss this.Blank's fighting over there."
"Hey,it's going to start."
The beasts were released to the streets.Quina came to the district first and began to chase a Fang.
"Yummy-yummy!Quina cooks a dinner!"he shouted,but was disappointed,when Amarant appeared and killed
it.
"Sorry,buddy.You have to be faster!"
Nobody noticed two,rather strange-looking dark figures standing in the stairway.Someone could've
said that they look suspicious.
"This isn't going as planned,"the other one said.
"Yes,the queen's got quite a crowd of friends around her.Time to use the plan B..."
"What is it?"
"Look."
Another of them stepped out of the stairway and walked to them.
"Excuse me,but I come from the castle.I'm afraid that there's an emergency..."
"What is it?"
"Something has happened to the king...please!Get there fast!"
"Alright.C'mon!"
The man ran after them,signing the other one to follow him.
"Please,leave immediately!Queen Garnet is in hurry!"he shouted to the driver of the air cab,when
they arrived to the station.
"Oh!The queen...yes,mister!We shan't let the queen wait!"
When Zidane and Cinna were inside the cab,and Baku was just about to step inside before Garnet,the
man kicked him into the back,sending him on the floor,knocking the others down as well.Before Garnet
could get inside,he caught her and didn't let her go.The others couldn't do a thing,when the doors
of the cab closed.
"You are a genius!"the other man praised.
"I was lucky.Now come,we have to make haste!"
-

"Man,we have to go back!"Zidane said when they were in the castle's cab station.
"Useless.They've probably already disappeared,"Baku said."We should go to Cid.I'm sure he'll be a
lot more help."
So,to the throne room they went.
"Is the competition already over?"Cid asked.
"No,"Zidane explained."Garnet's been kidnapped!"
"No!Really?!"
"Yes!They caught her right behind our backs!"
"What a great situation to strike...but hey.Because of the Festival,the gates are closed.They must
still be in Lindblum."
A moogle arrived.
"Kupo!I've got a letter for you.I heard it's important,kupo!"
"The queen is in our hands.In order to get her back,you must give us an airship with one million gil
inside it.The airship must be at the airship deck by midnight.Remember,you will get the princess
after we have what we ask.Otherwise...just remember not to do anything stupid."
"We have no choice."

mistake again,that I write too much nonsense when I could've made an effective ending.
