Out on the deck, Celes was tending to Edgar, for he was lying on the deck with his leg cut open; near him was some broken parts of the ship that must've fallen from the top and Edgar was just in the wrong spot. I, Locke, and Sabin ran to his side in a hurry. Sabin held Edgar with one arm and touched his hurt leg, checking it out.
"Are you alright Brother...what happened?" Edgar grunted in pain, grabbing his leg then looking, pointing to the top of the ship. We all looked up and saw that the top of the airship was broken off and scattered across the deck now.
"It broke off...I don't know how. I came out here, just when it fell, and that..." He pointed to a sharp part of the metal frame that held the airship together. "...is what landed on my leg. In a very...bad way."
"Stop moving Edgar..." Celes warned Edgar, and he eyed her before lying back down on the deck. Sabin smiled and patted Edgar's shoulder gently.
"At least nothing's broken..."
"At least!" Edgar glared at him, making Sabin laugh a little. Locke looked around and then looked at us in horror.
"Guys...the airship isn't moving." All of us immediately looked up to the room where Setzer pilots the ship. Nothing happened for awhile until Gau flew out of the room with panic.
"G-Gau? Wha-What's wrong?!" Celes wailed out to him, afraid.
"S-Ship...shaking, boom! Fire; broken parts everywhere! Smoke, bang, shaking more...more boom! Boom, boom! Not fun, not fun..." Gau sputtered out, but Sabin slapped his forehead and yelled back to him.
"Gau, we know that, but we want to know about Setzer! Is he alright?!" Gau looked back to the room than back to us, his eyes no longer beaming, but now full of fright.
"Setzer...not there, not wheel! No steering! Not fine, not fine!" Sabin slapped his forehead again and groaned.
"What does that mean?!" Cyan rushed out to Gau's side out on the deck above, his moustache all messy and his eyes wide open.
"No, Sir Gau is right. Thou Setzer isn't by the wheel; thy Setzer is unconscious. Probably hit his head or something...but thing is, is that no one be steering thy airship." I looked at Locke with troubled eyes.
"Why did this happen? Another meltdown with the ship?"
"No, thy doesn't think so. Thy ship would've crashed then."
"I think we were attacked." Edgar grunted, groaning when Celes wrapped a cloth tightly around his leg.
"Attacked? By what, who? Who would want to attack Gau and friends?" Gau jumped up and down in alarm but Cyan stopped him in case he fell off the side.
"I don't know...but I don't think he's finished!" Locke stood up, pointing to the skies. I followed his gaze and gasped, dreading what was coming our way. Out of the clouds, a huge beast ripped through them with his wings and roared as he dashed in our direction...the Behemoth King...almost as big as the entire airship, his brown skin glazed the sun's rays off and his eyes pierced through my heart. As he hovered above the ship, thinking about his next move, I got up and stood next to Locke as Sabin stood and ran near the edge of the ship.
"The Behemoth King...he grew wings?! That's how upset he is...he grew wings?!" Sabin cried out in anger, standing on top of the edge; at first his struggled and almost fell but he got his footing and stared at the beast circling above us.
"What in the world are you doing Sabin?!" Edgar snapped, moaning as Celes helped him over to the door.
"I'm going to 'Raging Fist' this winged fiend back into the grave!" Sabin vowed, making Edgar roll his eyes to the sky. As Celes sat next to Edgar by the door to keep him safe, the Behemoth King flew down finally to us; I shrieked when I thought he was going to ram into us, but instead he flew his legs forward and landed on the deck in front of us. The whole airship shook with he smacked onto the deck and stepped towards me and Locke. I then heard a thump from behind me; when I looked I saw Gau on the floor behind us and Cyan leaning over the edge, frantic. Gau instantly got up and jumped over to Celes and Edgar, shaking beside them. I looked up to Cyan and cried out.
"Cyan, get the ship going!" I turned around and saw Sabin jump onto the Behemoth King and start pounding on his head with his fists while Locke ran around and climbed up his tail, striking his skin with his knife on his way up.
"What...What is thy suppose to do in this situation?!" Cyan called my attention again.
"Get the ship started...steer us the rest of the way to Doma Castle...we need help!" I turned to help but Cyan called out to me again.
"Alright, thy will try...but can thou come up here and try to wake thy Setzer?" I nodded my head and ran into the ship, making sure I didn't hit Edgar, Celes, or Gau on my way in. I ran up the stairs and slammed the door open, startling Cyan for a second. I closed the door and went over to Setzer; he was unconscious in the middle of room, near the wheel. I grabbed him by the arms and pulled him across the floor over to the wall: the wall had a tall, metal door (no doubt the one Setzer uses to talk to us when we're out on the deck) over on the left; near the door all way to the other side of the wall were all kinds of buttons and levers that Setzer uses to control the ship I guess; and on the wall was a gigantic window that when I looked through, I saw the Behemoth King trying to smack Sabin off, but he kept missing and ending up smacking himself. Locke was now on his back, striking him over and over with his sword, and Gau joined in; Gau was floating around in air using the Behemoth King's own attacks.
"Ug..." I looked at Setzer, who groaned and shifted around. I kneeled beside him and realized he was only haftly conscious. "The Behemoth King...he's here..." He mumbled. I rubbed his cheek and smiled.
"We know that...we're taking care of it right now, don't worry." Setzer moaned, not opening his eyes.
"The ship..."
"Cyan is steering, don't worry."
"Cyan...is steering...?" He uttered, fear in his voice. Cyan huffed, and when I looked his way, he had yet taken the wheel.
"Thy Setzer still thinks I can't...which mean thy probably is right and I can't." I smiled with encouragement and pointed to the wheel.
"Take, the wheel Cyan. You're the only one beside Setzer who has some sort of training. Now, please Cyan, take the wheel." Cyan stared at the wheel, motionless. He was lost in thought, and I was about to smack my forehead when he moved to the wheel.
"Thou think I can?"
"Yes...I believe you can. Take us to Doma Castle, Sir Cyan." I smiled, filling Cyan up with hope as he smiled and threw the ship into start. I placed Setzer near the door which I went out and yelled to the others.
"Cyan is taking us to Doma Castle and Setzer is fine, just, not able to steer!"
"That's pleasant news, thanks Terra!" Sabin replied back sarcastically. As the airship began to move forward again, the Behemoth King nearly fell forward. He roared to the sky before using Blizzara, covering the entire ship in a misty fog of icicles. I ducked back inside where Cyan where struggling to keep the wheel straight.
"I can't even steer when thy beast uses such magic on us!"
"He isn't even supposed to be able to use it anymore!" I responded in fright. When we defeated Kefka, all of the Espers vanished and magic was taken from people who had them, like Celes. I didn't disappear with the Espers because I was half-human; only my magic gone, which I was missing right now. Setzer groaned, trying to point to a near-by lever.
"The lever...lever..." I went over to a random lever and pulled it, and all of sudden an alarm went off that made me hold my ears. I held my ears for several seconds before pulling the lever back down. "The one before that..." Setzer sneered. I glared at him before pulling the other lever down. Nothing happened for awhile until water splashed down the windows, clearing the ice from it. Cyan laughed heartily and continued steering.
"That be a lot better! Now, go kill thy beast out there...he also gets in thy way." I nodded and went out the door again, waving to the others.
"We're back on track! Don't worry!" I could see Locke giving a fierce look as he lodged a knife into the Behemoth King's neck, making him thrash around before roaring again. I thought he was going to do Blizzara again, but instead he shot Fire 3 into the air, letting the ashes fall back, still sparking with heat.
"Darn beast! Die already!" Sabin ordered, jamming his fist into the monsters left eye, making him shriek for a few seconds until he used his left claw to finally flung Sabin off of flew into the wall below me. I looked over the edge and saw Sabin getting right back up. "I don't...think so! You can't get rid of me that easily!" The Behemoth King turned towards Sabin, than stomped over to him, staring at him intensely. I shuttered a bit, frightened, which made the beast look up at me. He snarled and I could tell he was about to use Fire 3 again (because I saw the fire starting inside his mouth), when we suddenly crashed and the Behemoth King flew backwards into a castle, knocking the wall down. I also flew over the edge, but Sabin jumped and caught me before I hit the ground.
"Thanks Sabin. Cyan! What happened?!" I looked up to the room and Cyan slowly appeared, ashamed but innocent.
"Thy beast was blocking thy view! What could thy do?"
"Good enough. Locke was still on him though..." I jumped out of Sabin's arms and ran over to the edge of the ship. I looked closely at the castle but didn't recognize it. I turned back around and saw Cyan smiling with pride.
"Welcome, to Doma Castle my friends!" I turned back to the castle and saw men appear around the Behemoth King. Locke suddenly stood up, shaking and stumbling.
"You alright Locke?!" I called to him. He looked at me and smiled.
"Oh, I'm perfectly fine! Just...a little bit of an adrenaline rush, is all." Locke stumbled his way to the ship when I gasped. The Behemoth King's left leg started to twitch, making the men around it jump back. Locke turned to look and groaned. "You're kidding, please." He begged, though to no gain as the beast slowly started to rise up off the ground, his brown skin slowly turning black. As he stood up behind the castle wall, I could barely see his face as it was hidden by the remaining chunk of wall that was left standing. As he flapped his wings, his skin blackened and remained a charred black color. He then opened his eyes and almost instantly afterwards, he thrashed the remaining wall apart and roared to us. Locke stood stunned as I nearly fell to my knees in shock. The men around the Behemoth King toke out weapons and started attacking him, making him more aggravated, as he roared to the sky once more, and then he used Death on a nearby solider, making him instantly fall over dead. I jumped when I saw Cyan standing by my side; he grabbed his weapon and stood on the edge of the ship.
"For Doma Castle...and thy lives!" Cyan jumped down, surprising Locke on the way. He ran in front of the Behemoth King with courage, and most of the men went to his side at once. "I am Cyan...warrior of Doma Castle! Thou beast has no right to be here...thy shall be the end of you!" The Behemoth King shrieked at Cyan, like he knew exactly what he said. Cyan and all the men began attacking the creature while Locke made the rest of the up the ship and stood next to my side.
"What does he think he's doing?!"
"He's protecting his kingdom..." I replied sincerely. I didn't know Cyan as well as some others, but I at least knew this.
"Cyan isn't going to let some 'creature' destroy his kingdom and idly stand by." Sabin came to my other side, watching the fight go on. "He's lost so much already...he doesn't deserve anymore to be taken from him." I looked at Locke who smiled and began watching the fight. Celes suddenly tapped on my shoulder, showing me a Phoenix Dawn.
"This will kill him instantly. Let's use it." The three of us nodded and Celes threw the Phoenix Dawn at the Behemoth King. What is suppose to bring fainted or the dead back, when it hit him, the Behemoth King roared violently into the sky, then slowly fell onto the ground, dead. Cyan looked our way in anger.
"Who threw that Phoenix Dawn?!"
"That doesn't matter, Cyan. It's dead, so be happy." Celes boasted a bit. Cyan huffed and searched the creature for signs of life. Edgar limped to us and stared at the beast in awe.
"It's dead...good. That's good...now I can finally heal."
"Setzer too." I explained. Sabin became wide-eyed and ran into the ship.
"Should probably go get him!" He screamed on his way inside. Cyan came near the airship, looked up, and smiled.
"Should probably stay for awhile. 'Till thy ship is in order and thou Edgar and thou Setzer are healed once more."
"Yes, we will. Great job getting us here, by the way Cyan." I added, which made Cyan blush a bit in embarrassment. After several days of repairing and healing, the airship was good and new and Edgar was at least walking, though it still pained him, and Setzer was up and moving perfectly fine again. We all gathered on the decks to say good-bye to Cyan.
"Should get leaving soon, so say your good-byes!" Setzer called out to us from the room. Cyan came onto the ship and smiled a joyful smile.
"Thy has had a good time being with thou all. Maybe some other time, thy and thou can get together again." Sabin laughed and forced Cyan into a big bear-hug.
"That's a promise Sir Cyan! I'll see you later." He let Cyan go who dusted off his clothes before going to the others. He eventually made his way to me, at which he stuck out his hand again.
"This time is good-bye, huh?" I nodded, silently laughing. I wiped a single tear from my eye as he walked away, leaving the airship. But before he toke a step off, Gau ran to his side and grabbed his arm.
"Wait, Gau didn't want this!" Cyan looked at Gau in misunderstanding.
"What does Sir Gau mean...?" Before Cyan could finish, Gau replied jumping up and down.
"Gau come with Cyan, Gau come with Cyan! Gau be good, Gau promise. Cyan let Gau be at Doma Castle with Cyan?" Everyone looked at each other stunned, but Cyan waved his hand to Gau in delight.
"Sir Gau can live in Dome Castle if Sir Gau pleases." Gau jumped happily, racing off the ship ahead of Cyan, who followed behind. We all leaned over the edge and waved to the two.
"Are you sure you want to live here Gau?" I gave Gau one last chance to change his mind, but he shook his head in agreement.
"Gau sure! Gau close to the Veldt anyways!"
"Makes sense! See you two later!" Celes laughed.
"Bye Gau's friends! Bye Mr. Thou!" Gau waved to Sabin in glee, but Sabin slouched over the edge, groaning.
"Mr. Thou is that one, right next to you!" Sabin pointed to Cyan, who laughed, waving.
