Chapter 19: The Finest Materials

Chaos and Dan ended up in the auction house of Fluorgis.

Chaos: What do you mean we need clan points for this?
Auction guy: That's how it is. No clan points, no auction.

Chaos and Dan huddle. Since they have no clan points, they decided to steal the prize.

Dan: Hold the registration, kupo.
Auction guy: Well, hurry up.

They leave. Meanwhile, Jade and B-Man are doing an escort mission, since the client has the material. They are faced with a really high cliff.

B-Man: So, how exactly are we going to climb THAT?
Client: You have to figure it out.
Jade: Hey, what's that?
B-Man: It looks like a hiking nail and an indent in the wall.
Jade: Got any rope?
Client: Yes. Right here. *gives Jade some rope*
Jade: Perfect.

She jabs the rope with one of her arrows and bounds the rope to a circle at one end. She shoots the arrow so that the circle can grab the nail. (Neither her nor B-Man can throw rope like how the cowboys do it.

Joe: WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?

Joe and Jesus approached a Rafflesia.

Jesus: Hmm...It looks like a Rafflesia.
Joe: That's a weird name for a plant.
Jesus: Ever heard of Malboros?
Joe: Yes.
Jesus: You're looking at its maker.
Joe: *takes out his Ragnarok* Well, that explains the smell. Come on.
Jesus: Yes, sir. Don't worry about the Malboros here. I can handle them. You worry about the Rafflesia.
Joe: Got it.

Jesus uses his Beastmaster skills to take control of the Malboros while Joe, wearing his helmet due to the smell, tries to hack-and-slash against the Rafflesia.

Pete and Magic had to make a deal with a smuggler clan.

Pete: Alright, kupo. You hand over that metal and we'll give you guys our gil.
Smuggler: How much?
Pete: Bag's 8 inches tall, heavy, and circlular objects are pertruding from it. How much do you THINK is in there, kupo?
Smuggler: *sigh* Very well. Alright, men. Bring the stuff.
Magic: Let me sssee that. *hands over to Magic* It looksss right. Here. *throws bag*

Pete and Magic left, apparently running. The smugglers looked at the bag and saw finely-cut stones. The smugglers started to chase Pete and Magic.

Spike and Ed are in a cave. They see a giant antlion.

Ed: Is that a Yowie?
Spike: I've heard of them once. Thought they're much scarier in real life.
Ed: Dude, if this was real life, I'd agree with you. But then again, I still am.
Spike: With you, this is easy. Just Stop him and I'll get the gold.
Ed: Sure, if that thing isn't immune to...too late. *Spike rushes to the Yowie* Oh, well.

As Ed predicted, the Yowie is immune to Stop, so Spike had to suffer from the Yowie's swallowing attack.

It took a long while, but the escort mission was finished, as is the battle with the Rafflesia. Hammer shows up to pick up Jade and B-Man, with Pete and Magic already on. Then, Hammer took Joe and Jesus. Later, Ed and Spike. At that time, Dan distracts a few guards while Chaos steals the material prize. Then, as Chaos left, unseen, Dan does the same. Hammer awaits at the entrence of the auction house to pick up the two. After that, they were done.

Chaos: Man, that was fun.
Dan: I didn't knew being a part of a heist was so fun, kupo!
Jade: You were in a heist?
Chaos: Yeah, so?
Jade: It's not nice to be in a heist.
Chaos: What? We didn't had any clan points to do the nice way. So we did the only other way to get our prize.

As the others were telling how they went, the Empire, led by Kefka, are making their move.

The airship landed in Goug. Everyone gave their materials to Anvil to start making new weapons.
