The Melodries of the Gullwings: Final Fantasy IX/X-2

Zidane ran after her but was held up by Ruby briefly but he managed to get past her. "She gets angry too easily, geez..." He thought to himself soon found the Princess come to the stop, it was teh same room where he and his brothers fought Baku.

"Well...looks like you finally made up your mind." Zidane said as he wasn't out of breath in the slightest, when your a thief like him, you need plenty of stamina and use your surroundings to your best abilites as he thought to himself. "We had to improvise, but hey, we got her!" he thought to himself as if it was a acheivement.

 

"Do you... do you work on this theater ship?" Garnet asked him, not surprised that he followed her this far. "As you have no doubt suspected..... ....the truth is that..... I am actually....." She lifted her hood to reveal her face, "Princess Garnet til Alexandros XVII, heir to the throne of Alexandria. I have a favor I wish to ask of you." She grabbed his hands, a plea in her eyes. "I wish to be kidnapped.... right away."

 

"Aww...she's figured it out huh?" he thought a bit disappointed but listen as he saw her face. "The most babeilicious of all Alexandria? Boss wasn't kidding!" He thought to himself as he felt his hands being taken, he couldn't see where this was going until he heard her last words.

"H-huh!? I don't...I mean..." Zidane was speechless at this request until he heard noises outside the door and a voice. "Princess!" as it was from Steiner who somehow managed to free himself from his crashlanding.

 

"Please, they've come for me." Garnet hid her face again, letting go of Zidane's hands.

 

Zidane fitted the pieces together in his mind. "Aha...so that's what's going on." He said lowly and spoke as he bent down on one knee. "Alright then, your Highness, I shall hereby do my best to kidnap you!" He said with a grin.

 

"Thank you. You have my gratitude."

 

Zidane stood up as another door opened, revealing Cinna. "What you two doin'? Come on, this way!" Cinna looked at them and Zidane spoke. "Don't worry Princess, it's my friend Cinna!" He said to reassure her.

 

"Oh, really? I am sorry, you startled me."

 

"Well, with a face like his, I'd be pretty shocked too!" he said jokingly as Cinna was pretending to be hurt. "Man, that hurts! I wash up every morning, you know!" he exclaimed ebfore heard the same voice from earlier calling otu for the princess.

"This way!" Zidane nodded. "Alright, we'll follow you!" Cinna ran into the meeting room as Zidane gently grasped Garnet's red gloved hand and ran in with her as Cinna shut the door and they heard a a door open as the same voice was calling out for Garnet and a new voice talking with Steiner as Zidane smiled in his mind. "So that's what you been up to Blank!"

Zidane noticed something. "Hey Cinna, this is a dead end!" as Cinna laughed under his breath.

"Hehehe. I thought this might happen... Open! Sesame!" the table opened and revealed a passageway. "So I set up this escape hatch!" and then, they heard the same guy calling for the Princess as Cinna looked at Zidane.

"Come on, jump inside!" he ordered hsi friend as Zidane nodded and his ahdn let go of Garnet's red glove and jumped in, only to be followed by the Princess herself and Cinna as the hole was covered by some shield and they could heard Steiner being angry about it blocked up.

"That's Blank for you, owe you one!" Zidane thought to himself

"Wow, you're really athletic, Princess. I think I'm falling for you!" Zidane said as she was indeed not missing a single step.

 

"This is nothing. I have been training to escape the castle, after all."

 

Zidane sighed sadly. "What a waste, if only you weren't a princess..." He said to her.

 

"We have no time for idle banter. Come, let us move on!"

 

Zidane just nodded in response and lead the princess to the next room but then, a armoured man slid down the pole.

"Aha! Found you Princess!" He said as he noticed Zidane and Cinna. "And these are the culprits! This will be a historic day for the Knights of Pluto!"

A Pluto Knight came in from behind Garnet. "You needn't worry your Highness!" and Zidane just laughed in his mind, knowing who it is and decided to end the suspense. "Come on Blank! You aren't cut out for that job and you know it!" Zidane said with a smile.

"I guess you're right, I'm kinda getting tired of the clanking noises." the Pluto Knight said and the three brothers stood in front of the Princess

The knight's look of surprise was a good one. "You can just leave..." Zidane started his sentence and Cinna continued. "Leave the Princess..." and Blank took over. "To us!"

Zidane immediately unsheathed his dagger with no problems as Cinna readied his hammer and Blank with his sword as Steiner was furious as he drew out his own sword, much heavier meaning it was a broadsword

Zidane used his agility to strike at Steiner with a flurry fo quick swipes but the knight managed to defend himself. "Take over guys!" Zidane called out as Blank brought up the rear with hsi sword to slice at the man who counter-attacked and pushed Blank back and then, Cinna whacked his armour with a hammer. (OOC: No seriously...a hammer? What was Square on when they thought this was a weapon and using it against a knight?)

Steiner's sword glowed around the blade and he used a special skill to blow apart Blank's armour, unfortunely, he ripepd the package hidden udner the helmet as many Oglops bounced around and Steiner ran back forth.

"AHHH! I HATE OGLOPS!" He yelled and Cinna and Blank quickly played along or mayeb they too hated Oglops as Zidane grabbed Garnet's hand and puleld her to the other side of the room, through the door as the two could hear voices up above which meant they were directly under the stage.

King Leo/Baku spoke otu loud and clear.

"Tonight, I shall finally see my daughter Princess Cornelia betroth'd to Prince Schneider! And then Prince Schnieder and his kingdom will be mine! Gwahahahaha!"

Two lackeys approched King Leo restraining Marcus. "Your Majesty!" One said and the other finished it. "We have caught an intruder!"

King Leo stared down at Marcus and grinned. "Why, my poor Marcus! Hark, lad. No matter how much thou dost treasure Cornelia... ...no matter how deeply she might believe she doth love thee... ...never shall I see her marry a peasant such as thee! When yon bell strikes three... Under the axe thou shall be!" he declared proudly.

Zidane looked around. "Where can we go now?" he asked himself within his thoughts as Cinna came in. "Zidane! Get on Number Two!"

Zidane nodded in reply. "Okay Princess! This way!" and he ran with Garnet onto a platform as the elevator went up but Steiner ran past Ciina gettign on another elevating platform as the play's holes open as Baku was still in speech.

"Futhermore!" Baku stopped when he noticed the two and a certain armoured knight come up "P-Princess Garnet!?" he whispered in a low tone of voice and Zidane looked at him "Guys! Just improvise!" and his fellow compainions gave a small nod.

"W-Where am I?" Steiner asked himself, obivously confused as Marcus quickly hugged the robed Garnet. "Cornelia!" he said loudly.

 

"Um......." Garnet seemed kind of nervous.

 

"Marcus is Cornelia's lover!" Zidane whispered to her, although, he honestly wished he was in Marcus's shoes.

"Is Lady Luck against me today?" Zidane thought to himself.

 

"Oh, Marcus!" Garnet hugged him lovingly.

 

Ren ran forwad knocking away each arrow and slashed at her the moment he reached infront of her

 

Angel swiftly kicked him in the gut.

 

Ren saw the attack and immediatley dodged to the side and grabbed her foot and slammed her to the floor

 

Angel pulled out a smoke bomb and tossed it, which exploded in Ren's face. Then she escaped to the theater ship.
