AHEAD ON OUR WAY Part 3 By: Squall Squall E-mail: Mrmoogle@fantasysquare.com ICQ#: 124012320 I'm writing again, sorry for the delays but due to a personal problem I couldn't write much. My grandmother passed away last Friday and my family and I were too sad. I am feeling much better now and I still have the strength to go on. Grandmother, I'll always remember you as the best grandmother ever and the greatest cook too. Sorry about the problem I had about the vote, I sent it about four days before it got posted but it got posted to late for the people to vote, next time I'll look for some other way. I apologize for any trouble caused. Chapter IV: Under pressure "We have to think fast, the ones who will be going to Burmecia are... Freya..." Started Zidane. "I'll go, too, with Lani!" Shouted Amarant. "Is that okay with you, Freya?" Asked Zidane. "I guess..." Said Freya a little confused. "I'm going with you" Vivi said "Steiner, we have to protect the townspeople, we are going with Dagger and Zidane" Said Beatrix "(So, I'm alone again...) Guess I'll go to Cleyra with Quina and Quenj..." Eiko sighed. "You want go with me?" Asked Quenj. "I kind of got carried with the leftovers..." Said Eiko. "No problem, Quina say leftovers good, I know, I cook you all tasty-munchies." Said Quenj. "This no time to think about food, Quenj" Exclaimed Quina. Everyone forgot about the attack for a moment and stared at Quina surprised. "D-Do you... feel okay?" Asked Dagger. "Quina not thinking about food? S/he must be ill..." Said Vivi. "There no time! Alexandria cuisine best in world!" Exclaimed Quina. "Now I understand..." Zidane said with a tired voice. "We are three groups, how are we going to make it with just one airship?" Asked Lani. "We are already in Alexandria, we need not an airship, the ones going to Burmecia can use Prima Vista II, and the others?" Said Steiner. A huge shadow overlapped them and they all looked up, a very fine airship landed near the place, Cid and Hilda came out. "Uncle Cid!" Said Dagger "What in the world...?" "There is no time, the ones going to Cleyra come in the Hilda Garde IV, it is the fastest airship I have ever built." Said Cid very excitedly. "He always says that..." Explained Eiko. "Ahem! Let's go, ribbit!" Cid shouted. Quenj, Quina and Eiko got on the Hilda Garde IV and went very high up, they could hardly see the others as they where too high, higher than the clouds. "Steiner, Beatrix, Dagger, let's get a move on!" Shouted Zidane as he started running to Alexandria "Everyone get inside!" Freya shouted "We're out of time!". Chapter V: Burmecia, the Realm of Eternal Rain The Prima Vista II landed near the rainy kingdom of Burmecia, when the four people entered the city, there was no one there, not even an oglop. "... What in the world...?" Said Freya as she looked for any sign of life. "Where is everyone?" Asked Lani. "Should we go to the palace?" Suggested Amarant. "I guess the king must've stayed, why would he give the order to attack Alexandria anyway?" Vivi said. They started running forward and fighting weak monsters in the way. When they got to the stairs leading to the palace a shadow could be seen going down... It was Fratley. "Sir Fratley!?" Shouted Amarant. "My love, what is happening to the people of Burmecia? Why are they attacking Alexandria?" Asked Freya scared. "Th... the king... protec... protect him..." said Fratley as he fell to the floor unconscious. "He is still alive..." Amarant said "He will get better in a few minutes, but we have to check up on the king." "You are right, let's keep going... Sir Fratley... Hang in there!" Said Freya as she started going up the stairs. When they were far enough Fratley got up and said "He he he, they bought it..." Chapter VI: Cleyran Harvest "Finally!" Cid said tiredly. "What do you mean father? It only took us a minute to get here!" Eiko yelled. "There is no time to talk you must go, please be very careful, daughter!" Said Cid. "Alrighty! Let's go you gourmands!" Shouted Eiko as she made haste for the top of the tree. "Master, I no want to go... I hungry." Quenj said. "Maybe we find yummy sand in top of tree. Or maybe even succulent frog!" Quina said! "I want go now, thanks Master!" Said Quenj Quenj was soooooooo hungry that he ate a lot of monsters in the way and therefore learned a lot of Blue Magics like Aqua Breath, Fire Breath, Bad Breath, Matra Magic, Pandora's Box, Fire 4 and a lot more. After some upward mobility they found the entrance to Cleyra. They walked to it but when they tried to enter they were blown away by a beam of energy. "What the heck was that!?" Shouted Eiko. "Did you really think you could come in that easily?" Asked a strange voice. "Who there!?" Shouted Quenj. "Who else?" Said the strange voice. "Could it really be...?" Started Eiko. Chapter VII: Under Attack! "They are too many rats!" Shouted Weimar, a Pluto Knight. "It's too much for us!" Said Haagen, another Pluto Knight. "Leave it to us now, withdraw in the castle and don't allow them to enter!" Shouted Steiner. "Yes sir!" Said the two knights. "Go to the castle, now!" Beatrix shouted to some Alexandrian soldiers who were fighting against some Burmecian soldiers. "At once ma'am!" Shouted the soldiers. "Now is the time, let's get them before they cause more ruckus!" Shouted Zidane as he drew his daggers. Everyone started fighting against the soldiers everywhere. "It's too much for us! Withdraw and let the Impregnable loose!" Said the Burmecian general. A huge monster appeared from the city's entrance destroying everything on its way, it was so big that all the buildings on its way fell apart. "What the heck is that!?" Shouted Zidane. "No... This can't be happening... If we just hadn't interfered... the city is destroyed again... and it's all my fault!" Cried Dagger "It's not over yet!" Shouted Zidane as he drew his Ultima Weapon "I will need this baby for this battle!" "Charge!" Shouted Steiner. Zidane ran to it and slashed it very hard, leaving the place to allow Steiner and Beatrix to use the almighty Shock, both of them executed it at the same time, making it so strong that a piece of the monster fell off. Although it was not enough, everyone was very surprised. The monster started to accumulate energy and then, after a few seconds, it launched a powerful beam from its mouth which left a hole in the floor and destroyed a couple of houses around the place. Dagger casted Curaga right after the attack and it was very useful. Zidane entered in Trance after that last attack, he used the super strong Grand Lethal to deal a huge amount of damage, after that, the monster fell. "No one can beat us. I'm sure about it now. Our will is just too strong to be beaten." Said Dagger as she looked how that monster disappeared in pain. "It looks like there won't be another wave of attacks foe a while, we should go check up on the soldiers in the castle and organize everything." Said Steiner. "Okay, just let me grab that thing in the floor..." Said Dagger. "What is it?" Asked Beatrix. "It's a jewel, it fell off from that monster we've just beaten." Explained Dagger "It looks like I can use it as an add on." "We can't lose any time. We should make haste for the castle." Said Steiner. "Yes, I'm sorry. Maybe Eiko will figure out what we can do with this, I'll keep it with me until we meet." Dagger said as she started to walk to the boat which lead to the castle. End of part 3 Thank you for reading.
