She giggled again. Sare couldnt help but smile as Zack walked out, Chest puffed out in triumph. "Lets go!" He said.

"Where are we going?" Emria asked.

"To retrieve something of mine." Zack said. Jay ran up next to him. "what did cloud say when you were walking out?" She asked.

"Something about their being 'two of them'." Zack laughed happily as they exited the city.

Zack led them into the wilderness, past a number of plataues, and eventualy onto a cliff. Zack looked upon the sword embedded in the ground. "If angeal were alive, Hed kill me for not taking care of his sword..." Zack walked up, and pulled it free.
