*Yuna is slumped in her dark room over the bed, sobbing loudly in her arms, when suddenly, there comes a knock at the door.*
Yuna-
Who's there?
Shantotto-
It's me young miss,
Let me in, it sounds like somethings amiss.
*Yuna opens the door, letting in Shantotto, Onion Knight*
Shantotto-
Why thank you deary,
I get so cramped in a hallway so dreary.
*Yuna is surprised at the small talking crystal Shantotto, and stumbles back, knocking into a large crystiline Kuja*
Yuna-
You... you're...
Kuja-
Be careful, lout!
You almost scuffed my boots!
Yuna-
What the, what are you beings?
Kuja-
Oh, me?
Well, not like it's your business, but I was this city's greatest playwright
But now I've been redused to this horrific life of misfortune.
OK-
She doesn't seem to understand, does she Master Shantotto?
Shantotto-
It would appear not,
Perhaps we should explain, I'll give it a shot.
Kuja-
Everyone in these decrepid ruins are cursed and depressed.
You appear to be no different.
Yuna-
I'm sorry, I just wasn't able to say goodbye to my party member, before I was locked here.
I'm just a little sad right now.
Shantotto-
All is not lost, you should keep a stiff upper lip,
Just like me, Kuja, and my young friend Luneth.
Which reminds me, Chaos has requested you join him for a show,
All this just seems like a waste of time though.
He doesn't seem to be trying very hard to break this curse,
But he'd better act soon, or our situation will be much worse.
Luneth!
OK-
Yes, Master Shantotto!
Goodbye Yuna!
*Shantotto and Luneth leave the room.*
Kuja-
Well then, if you're going to a show, it would appear my duty to prepare some proper attire.
That blue yukata simply cannot do, I won't allow it.
*Kuja turns around, opens... something, and searches through appearal*
Ah, this should do quite nicely.
I do believe this was the same dress worn by Princess Cornelia in the production of "I Want to Be Your Canary".
Yuna-
I'm very grateful for your help, but I'm afraid I won't be going to this show.
Kuja-
Gasp, you dare to disobey Chaos' orders?
*Just then, Gabranth steps into the room*
Gabranth-
By the order of Lord Chaos, he now requests your presence at the show.
*Cut to the dining room. Chaos is pacing angerly, while Laguna and Shantotto watch on from the mantle.*
Chaos-
Why isn't she here?
She should have been here by now!
WHY ISN'T SHE HERE!?
Shantotto-
Cool that hatred for a moment,
She's only a tad late, no use getting so bent.
Laguna-
Yo Chaos, ya gotta realize what's goin on here.
This babe might be the one destined to break our curse.
Chaos-
You don't think I know that!?
I know that much.
Laguna-
Well, ain't that great!
So, we just gotta her and you together and BOOM, let the magic begin!
And we'll turn back to humans!... and Tarutarus.
Shantotto-
We must learn to be patient though for these things take time,
We must think carefully or our efforts aren't worth a dime.
Laguna-
But not when there's passion in the air!
Chaos-
But who could love me.
A face so hideous.
Look at me!
Shantotto-
But I've gone to see this young lady,
She can see true light through dark mist, no matter how shady.
Chaos-
But what am I supposed to do?
Shantotto-
You must learn to act kind,
Get in the right mind.
Learn manners, sit up straight,
Or we'll all be too late.
Laguna-
Damn right, chicks love a little romance.
Just act like a gentleman!
And smile!
C'mon, let's see!
*Chaos's smile proves there is no God*
Shantotto-
Oh, that'll never do!
With a face like that, she'll spit up her stew!
Laguna-
Stop actin' so cold!
Shantotto-
We're getting too old!
Laguna-
Learn to be nice!
Shantotto-
Or I'll freeze you in ice!
Laguna-
And perhaps most important...
Shantotto-
Although I'm fairly certain you can't...
Laguna and Shantotto-
YOU'VE GOT TO CONTROL YOUR TEMPER!
*Suddenly, the door handle jiggles*
Laguna-
There she is!
Gabranth-
It's me my lord.
Chaos-
Well, where she!?
Gabranth-
I rely a response from Lady Yuna.
... She isn't coming.
*As soon as he heard that, Chaos let out a loud roar, and rushed from the room and towards Yuna's room, with Laguna, Gabranth, and Shantotto following*
*Chaos reaches the room and slams on her door*
Chaos-
WHY AREN'T YOU COMING TO THE SHOW!?
Yuna-
I'm not interested.
Chaos-
IF YOU WON'T OPEN I'LL SMASH THIS DOOR IN!
Laguna-
Uhh, Chaos, dude, perhaps it'd be better to use a bit more... finesse?
I mean, this might be our final chance and all.
Remember, your temper.
Gabranth-
I'm not one to question my master, but in this instance it may be for the best.
Chaos-
BUT SHE IS BEING UNREASONABLE!
Shantotto-
Temper, temper.
Chaos-
... Please come see the show.
Yuna-
No.
Gabranth-
Kindness, Lord, Kindness.
Chaos-
It would... be my... distinct pleasure... if you came to the show with me...
Yuna-
Sorry, still no.
Chaos-
THEN STAY IN THERE FOREVER!
IF YOU WON'T JOIN ME AROUND THE RUINS, THEN YOU CAN STAY IN THAT ROOM FOR GOOD!
*Chaos storms off into the darkness*
Gabranth-
I'll go check on our Lord.
Laguna, do not leave this girl's door until further noticed.
That's an order, understood?
Laguna-
You got it Judge!
*He takes out a rife, and stands like a British soldier*
*Shantotto and Gabranth then wander off*
*Chaos breaks into the Zanarkand Dome, throwing the doors from their hinges. He walks to the center, where a partially destroyed crystal floats, and a sphere rests*
Chaos-
I tried being nice!
I controlled my temper!
And this is what I get!?
*He grabs the sphere and stares into it*
Show me the girl!
*A vision begins to appear in the sphere, showing Yuna's room*
Kuja-
Ya know, the poor guy really seems to be trying.
Such a tragedy that his attempts at kindness toward you fail.
Yuna-
I simply can't believe him though!
He has done such horrible things!
*Chaos lowers the sphere*
Chaos-
It's impossible in this form.
Through her eyes, I'm a monster.
*As he worries, another shard falls from the crystal and shatters to dust*
It's hopeless...
*Yuna hears nothing from the hallway, and takes this chance to wander about. Laguna, who was meant to stand guard, is trying to fool around with Ultimecia*
Ultimecia-
Sigh, will you stop it already?
Laguna-
No no no, wait, I can do this.
*He is attempting to get over a terrible leg cramp*
Ultimecia-
Why did I pick a fool to entertain me.
This lokust deserves to be destroyed.
Laguna-
Wait, stop, no no no, I'll behave!
Oh look, there's Yuna!
*He uses this shot to escpe Ulti's attacks*
*He takes off after her, leaving Ulti confused*
*Yuna continues to wander, seeminly in the direction of some sort of stadium, where Shantotto and others are preparing for sleep.*
Shantotto-
No Luneth, how do you suppose to be good at magic without proper rest?
You either go to bed now or I cast a spell on you. I believe you know which option is best?
OK-
Yes, Master Shantotto!
Exdeath-
HURHURHUR, How am I expected to prepare entertainment for Chaos on a daily basis?
He has had such high standards lately, what am I supposed to do!?
Shantotto-
Well, you can shut your trap for one,
or I shall blast you until there is none.
For two you should prepare a good fight,
Make our stars shine bright.
Gabranth-
I must agree with Exdeath, our Lord does seem to have things backwords lately.
He must try harder with that Yuna girl.
How am I expected to reign my power over Zanarkand if I am of such stature.
Shantotto-
It takes a while to prepare one's heart,
One isn't always ready for love right from the start.
*Yuna enters the stadium*
Gabranth-
There's the girl now.
She has become a serious hinderence as of late.
Ma'am, I must introduce myself.
I am Judge Gabranth, holder of law in this city.
*Laguna rushes in after her, and jumps between the two.
And this is Laguna, our weapon's expert.
Laguna-
A pleasure to finally meet you.
Such a fine... young... lady...
*LEG CRAMP!*
Gabranth-
If you don't mind my asking miss, why have you come here?
You so savagly denied our Lord's request for you to come see the show earlier.
Yuna-
To be honest, I've grown a tad bored.
Shantotto-
So, you've got a case of the blues,
Now that is good news.
We may have a show after all,
It's time for use to have a ball.
Prepare some swords, ready your staff
We shall have a show on Yuna's behalf!
Laguna-
Grr... Ya see Lady Yuna, our master loves watching fights.
His favorite thing to do is sit in his throne and watch battle after battle after battle.
We're gonna give you a taste of what one of his tournaments is like.
Gabranth-
Lord Chaos is not going to be pleased!
Shantotto-
Don't be such a stick in the mud.
Or would you a rather a taste of my powerful spell, Flood?
Laguna-
Relax Gabby, she just wants some entertainment.
If you would please follow me to the center of the stadium, Lady Yuna.
Gabranth-
I shall allow you a one time pass for this Laguna!
Barring you keep our Lord uninformed of these transpirings.
Laguna-
Yeah, yeah, I got it.
We just need to get these things rollin'...
