Chapter 2

Kiki was bored. So bored. She had been sitting in the lookout tower for the past thirty minutes, scanning the terrain in the event of…what happening? Nothing. Nothing ever happened around there and yet the moogle elders insisted that all young moogles take a turn as a lookout. Kiki was never exactly sure what the point was. She could better use this time to practice her spells. "Honestly, I will never be ready to go to the White Mage Academy this spring at this rate".

Kiki wrapped her cloak tightly around her as snow fell softly but thickly from the sky. This was a pretty bad winter, one of the worst even the moogle elders had ever seen. No creature caught out there in one of the many blizzards they had already had would be able to survive.

Luckily, the moogles had plenty of food and supplies stored away in the great trunks and roots of the gigantic trees they called home. Their town was a series of bridges, ladders, and platforms that wound around the giant trunks, with their snug homes inside the trunks.

Soon, Kiki noticed the wind beginning to pick up and the snow falling heavier than ever and heaved a sigh. Great, another blizzard. Grateful that her shift as a lookout was about to end, she stood up and shook and stretched before giving the terrain one last look. Seeing some dark shapes in the distant, she shielded her eyes and looked closer. Yes, there were definitely some figures moving slowly through the snow.

Who on Gaia could possibly be outside in this weather? Kiki thought. Suddenly, the figures in the distance dropped to the ground, apparently to cold and exhausted to continue. In alarm, Kiki ran inside her house, bumping into her grandfather.

"Hey Kiki, what's the matter?" her grandpa asked kindly.

"There are people outside in the blizzard and they look like they are in trouble!" Kiki said in a rush.

"People?!" exclaimed the old moogle, incredulously. He quickly peered out the window of the watch station and saw the unmoving forms in the snow. "I will call the other moogles to go rescue them!" he said and rushed inside. He was surprisingly quick and agile for his age.

In short order, he had a group of strong moogles assembled with long make-shift stretchers. The moogles quickly flew off towards the figures, the wind really kicking up as Kiki watched anxiously.

Yugi turned over in his sleep, vaguely aware of wonderfully comfortable warmth that replaced the bitter cold he had recently felt going throughout his body. He slowly drifted awake, feeling the soft mattress beneath him. He opened his eyes with great effort, and for a few bleary moments, just stared above himself. Then he started feeling rather confused at the really low ceiling above him.

Yugi turned his head and started into a fireplace on the opposite side of a rounded room. Where am I? Yugi wondered.

Yugi! You're awake! Yami, the dark spirit that inhabited Yugi's soul exclaimed.

Yami? What's going on? What happened? Yugi asked in a panic, memories about the tornado suddenly flooding back to him.

I'm not sure but we ended up in a snowy forest. You ended up collapsing and then the others. Somebody must have found us and rescued us. Yami replied.

Yugi slowly sat up in bed and then stood up shakily and looked around. He was in a large, round, rough wooden room with a stone fireplace built in one wall and several long niches in the walls lined with mattresses and blankets that were clearly used as beds. A large rectangular table with long benches stood in the middle of the room. He looked around and with relief, noticed all of his friends, including the Kaiba brothers, were all sleeping peacefully in some of the other bed niches.

As Yugi stood there looking around, the door to his left opened and the strangest creature he had ever seen walked in. Both froze and stood staring at each other in amazement.

End of chapter 2

I will soon update with chapter 3. The basic gist of the story is, that tornado from the previous chapter sent the Yugioh gang to the world of Final Fantasy, set 40 years after the end of Final Fantasy IX. They ended up in the forest where the moogles had set up their own community in a large tree village.
