Gilgamesh picked up a brass pot off of a table. "Can I have this?" He asked Faris. "No." Faris answered flatly. Gilgamesh put it down. He suddenly went into a coughing fit until a Mover went flying across the room into the opposite wall. It slid down the wall slowly. "What is with all of these Movers?" Faris asked. "I have some kind of benign disease that causes Movers to form in my lungs," said Gilgamesh, "It is starting to become bothersome, yet I am so in lover with the cute little things. "Oh, my word! There's a mover in my pillow!" Screamed Lenna from upstairs. "I…I can fix that." Gilgamesh said. He whistled and around twenty Movers came bouncing to his feet. "Looks like you could start your own country of these things." Faris commented. Gilgamesh chuckled.

Upstairs, Lenna and Bartz discussed more serious things than building a Mover colony.

"What if Wendigo tries a sleep attack at night?" Bartz asked, "Then we're all screwed." "I don't think we have anything to worry about. Wendigo is too afraid to take on all of us at once." Lenna reassured him. She might have well told it to a lamp post. "And we leave for the dimensional swirlepool tomorrow." Bartz continued. He began to shiver in fear. "If we all stick together, we should be fine." Lenna said. Bartz sighed. "What are you so worried about?" Lenna asked. "I'm worried about the kid. I'm worried about Faris. Gilgamesh? Eh…Not so much. More than anything, though…" He took Lenna's hands in his. "…I'm worried about you." Outside the house, a certain blue demon we are all acquainted with listened intently. "They have no idea." He said amusedly.

The next morning, the four, as well as Gilgamesh, flew off toward Swirlepool Point. Bartz

stayed on the lower level of the ship, thinking about Wendigo. Faris walked down the stairs.

"What's on your mind, Cowboy?" She asked. "Wendigo." Bartz said spitefully. "Don't

worry about him. You know his type. They feed off of your fear." "Yeah…" Bartz agreed slowly. "In fact, a wise man once told me, 'what doesn't kill you-" "Makes you stronger?" Bartz butted in. "—usually comes back to kill you in a second attempt." Faris finished with an annoyed expression on her face. "Thanks." Bartz said sarcastically. "Anything for my brother-in-law." Faris said. Bartz blushed. "What are you talking about?" Bartz asked unconvincingly. "Don't try to hide it, Bartz," Faris said, "everybody knows you have the hots for my sister." "Well…" Bartz started. He was grinning.

"Listen, man. We're like brothers." Faris said. Bartz looked at her curiously. "I mean…You know what I mean. I want to help you attract my sister in any way I can." "Are you suggesting…an alliance?" Bartz asked. Faris put on a mischievous grin and nodded. Bartz gave her a high-five. "And it begins!...Who's driving?"

The unmanned airship suddenly started plummeting. Bartz and Faris flew into the back wall, screaming their heads off. "Wh…wh…where are Lenna and Krile?!" Bartz called in a panic. Before Faris could answer…CRASH!

Bartz slowly awoke. When he woke up, he saw Gilgamesh sitting on a piece of wood, munching on a cookie. "Eh…What's up, doc?" Gilgamesh asked before taking a bite of his cookie. Bartz, hesitating to look at Gilgamesh, stood up. "Lenna?! Krile?...Faris? Where are you?!" He called. "Gilgamesh." Bartz called. Gilgamesh stood up. "That would be me." He said. "Help me find the others. This is just the chance Wendigo needs to kill us." He has no idea…

Lenna walked alone in the middle of a dark forest. "Bartz…where are you?" She called quietly. A ghastly voice asked her from nowhere, "Hey, Pink-head, what has seven letters, is blue, and is about to kill you to death?" "Mike Wazowski." She said sarcastically.

Four Wendigoes jumped onto the path. "Choose your target wisely. It may be your last." The Wendigoes said. Lenna held up two shining hands. "Oh. Shiny." A Wendigo said. Suddenly, a huge dragon landed with a crash in front of Lenna and shot a blue energy blast at all four Wendigoes. The dragon flew away after this. After this only one Wendigo remained, singed by the mega-flare attack. "Wrong choice." Wendigo said coldly. He disappeared and reappeared in front of Lenna and raised his spiky club slowly. Lenna paused for a minute in fear, but then let out a shriek. Wendigo recoiled in pain, covering his ears.

Bartz, on the other side of the forest, heard the shriek. "Lenna." He said urgently. He then sprinted in the direction of the scream, leaving Gilgamesh in the dust. "So, should I just wait here?!" He called. There was no reply. "Whelp," he said, "Time to stand here and stare at a tree." He did just that.

Bartz was sprinting through bush and thicket to get to Lenna and save her life. When he finally burst through one hedge, he saw Lenna, unconscious on the ground, with Wendigo looming over her. "Dawn warrior." Wendigo said spitefully. Wendigo leapt over Lenna and charged at Bartz. Wendigo raised his club to attack, but Bartz drew back his sword. As Wendigo brought his club down, Bartz plunged his sword into Wendigo's torso. Wendigo's club smashed Bartz' arm, making him yell as well. Wendigo yelled and disappeared in a puff of smoke. "Where did you go, Nightcrawler?" Bartz teased.

Wendigo reappeared by Lenna and grabbed her in his arms. "Your girl has had her soul frozen. Unless I will it, she stays that way." He said. Bartz, although limited by his probably broken arm, charged toward Wendigo. Wendigo disappeared with Lenna in another puff of smoke. "Come to the top of the highest mountain with the other two. Come prepared for battle. If you ever want to see your princess again, I suggest you comply." Bartz heard from behind him. He turned to see Wendigo on the top of a tree. He jumped down, but disappeared again right before he reached the ground.

Faris and Krile appeared in a small inferno before Bartz' eyes. Bartz was gasping for breath. "What's on your boat?" Faris asked. "He…Wendigo…he…took her." Bartz stuttered. "Who?" Krile asked. "Luigi." Gilgamesh said. Everyone looked over and Gilgamesh was somehow hanging upside-down from a tree. The branch he hung from snapped and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Bartz, although puzzled by the ever-confusing Gilgamesh, went on. "Wendigo kidnapped Lenna. He took her to the highest mountain. He says that we need to fight him to get her back." Bartz explained. "So gosh-dang cliché." Gilgamesh commented, lying face-down on the ground. "We got to get her back." Krile said, frightened.

Meanwhile, Wendigo was in the cave at the top of Peke Peak, the highest mountain of the island Juggernaut (this is where they crash-landed). "This princess will be my next meal. Those miserly insects will feel the sting of my power." Wendigo said to himself. He had Lenna strung up by her arms. She was still out cold. Wendigo opened a huge door in the wall. "Omega, I have a job for you." Wendigo said. A giant, glowing half-open eye shone from the darkness of the door. "Iganazgeezburah." The Omega mumbled in a drone-like tone. "No." Wendigo told him flatly. The eye dropped a tear of sulfuric acid.
