REDG: Y'ello all! Well, I dunno what to say right now. Anyways, read and enjoy!


Chapter 8

Head em up and move em out!

They were all back at the theater ship, and Tori, Vivi, and Steiner were given some gross medicine to help get rid of the plant seeds inside them.

"But its PURPLE!!!!" Tori screamed, "I refuse to drink anything that's freakin PURPLE!"

Blank sighed and thought, "I've been arguing with this damned kid for an hour. She's got a lot of fight in her, even though she was just poisoned."

Tori glared at the bottle of the purple medicine, "I won't drink it!"

"Ok, go ahead and die then" Blank snapped, "If you want those seeds to start sprouting inside of you, that's fine by me"

Tori went all bug-eyed, and quickly gulped down the medicine without another word.

Blank laughed, "Thought so"

"Dammit!!! That tastes like crap!!!" Tori muttered.

Blank just kept laughing and walked out while Tori yelled, "You ENJOY doing this, don't you?! You sicko!!!"

"I-I-I think he's j-just trying to help" Vivi said.

"whatever" Tori muttered, getting up, "I can't stand lying around all day. I'm gonna go walk around"

Meanwhile...

"So what, dammit?!" Zidane yelled furiously, "We can handle it! We can make it out of the forest after we find the princess!"

"And what're ya gonna do about the wounded?!" Baku shouted back.

"Take them with us!"

Baku shook his head, "You gonna carry all of them? We go now, and we're done for! My boys come before the princess"

"But the princess is in trouble!"

Baku sighed. "Stuborn as a mule, alright then we'll duel. Win and you go no strings attatched. Lose and you stay put agreed?" Zidane nodded. "Not here, it's too tight follow me"

Zidane followed Baku to the old store room.

"You ready?" Baku asked.

"To kick your ass? Ready when you are!" Zidane called and ran to slash at Baku.

"That was nuthin!" Baku laughed and charged at Zidane and... ...tripped.

"... ...right..."

Zidane got in a few more lucky hits before Baku called out, "Ok, cut it out! Sheesh!" he got up and shook Zidane's hand, "Good luck"

"Thanks"

He punched Zidane in the gut before walking out of the store room laughing.

"Damn! He always pulls his punches until the end!" Zidane muttered. He left the store room as well as soon as his stomach had stopped aching.

"KAWAII!!!!" someone yelled and tackled Zidane.

"AGH!!! Get off me!!!" Zidane yelled.

Aiko looked up at Zidane and pouted, "Awww...do I HAVE to?"

"Aiko?! You again?!"

"Yup! Wassup?"

Zidane pried Aiko off him and stood up, "I'm looking for Steiner and Vivi. Can you tell me where they are?"

Aiko grinned slyly, "Only if you let me go with you to look for the Princess"

Zidane sighed, "Sure...and I guess your friend can come too"

"Great!!! Follow me!"

She led him to the room where Steiner was locked in. They could hear him muttering about something inside. Zidane opened the door to find Steiner sitting there with a doll (that looked a lot like Garnet) and muttering to himself.

"Geez, I didn't know knights still played with dolls" Aiko muttered, giving Steiner and odd look.

Steiner quickly opened the window behind him and threw the doll out, "What are you babbling about? We must find the princess!!!"

"We were just getting to that..."

"PRINCESS!!!!" Steiner yelled pushed past Zidane and Aiko to run out the door.

"... ... ...ok, so lets go find Vivi" Aiko said.

Zidane followed Aiko again and asked, "Didn't ya think that was kind of...disturbing?"

Aiko shrugged and opened the door to Vivi's room.

And back to Tori...

Tori walked around the outside of the Theatre Ship looking VERY bored. Until someone threw something at her head.

"Hey!!! What the hell?!" Tori screamed. She looked down to see what had been thrown at her and found an ugly doll with long, dark brown hair. Her eyes bugged out again and she yelled, "It's a voodoo doll!!! AGH!"

Cinna ran into Tori and said hurriedly, "Sorry! Have you seen my Garnet doll?"

Tori looked at the doll she was holding and said, "Uh...this one?"

"Yeah! That's it!!!" Cinna said happily and tried to grab for it.

"Hey! Not so fast!" Tori snapped, "You threw this at me, didn't you?!"

"No...I just lost it when..."

"When you threw it at my head?! Eat this!" She yelled and threw it at Cinna, "Serves you right for throwing stuff at people."
