Final Fantasy IX/X-2: Melodies of the Gullwings

"A monster created from the rift after the war between Zanarkand and Bevelle. It terrorized the people for a thousand years, before I finally destroyed it for good." Yuna helped Jecht stand up on his feet.

 

Zidane nodded. "Sounds like trouble to me, anyway, who's this kid?" He pointed to Puck as Puck jumped up and down. "I'm the Prince of Burmecia!"

 

"Great to see you again, Puck." Jecht sat on a rock as Vivi ran to him, holding a potion in his hands.

 

Yuri looked at Puck. "I knew I saw you somewhere before Alexandria." he smiled as puck nodded. "Wassup Yuri?" as Yuri looked at everyone. "Puck disappeared from Burmecia sometime ago for an unknown reason, we met rarely."

Puck stared at them. "Well, I better be off, I don't wanna see my old man, tell him i said hi okay." he ran towards Vivi and shook his hand. "Take care, Vivi!"

Puck soon left in a hurry as Yuri as Quina looked at Puck then to Vivi. "He so rude, Vivi much nicer."

 

Vivi smiled and looked at Jecht, who finished drinking the potion.

 

A Forest Oracle approached the group. "Lady Freya wishes for her friends to watch the ceremony, will you allow me to guide you?" he asked them.

 

Yuna nodded at the oracle.

 

The oracle lead the group to the ceremony where Freya resided and teh dancers were.

 

The Flower Maiden began to play the harp as Freya and the other Maidens began to dance. Yuna watched as if she was watching the sending again, Jecht and Braska watched the dance, thinking of their pilgrimage.

 

Zidane and Yuri watched the dance as well until one fo the strings on the harp snapped as a Maiden inspected it.

"The strings have snapped... A terrible omen, this is..." The Maiden said as the sandstorm was disappearing.

"I can't believe the sandstorm disappeared. What happened...?" Zidane asked out loud.

 

"We're right in the open for a attack!" Rikku began to panic and hold Yuri. Jecht looked out.

 

Yuri felt Rikku grab ahold of him while she paniced and he wrapped an arm around her while looking around.

"I have never witnessed anything like this since we settled here. On the harp, there is a magic stone. Since ancient times, we have used the power of the stone to control the sandstorm." A High priest said a sthe King of Burmecia looked at him. "Perhaps someone is trying to invade Cleyra."

The High preist looekd at him "I fear you may be right, my lord." as the King nodded. "I only hope our enemies don't come up the trunk..." he said

~Switch to Alexandria~

Steiner, Auron, Lenne and Tidus and Marcus were locked within a cage positioned within the middle of the room

"How dare they imprison us like this! Those wretched court jesters! Zorn and Thorn will never get away with this!" Steiner said and Marcus sighed. "I can't believe I got dragged into this..."

 

Ever since they were caught Tidus looked like he was in a daze. He just sat there. His eyes were dull

 

"First thing is, Steiner, you've gotta calm down. How is he, Lenne?" Auron turned to the young singer, the unconscious blitzball player was on her back. "He's still out cold....."

~Dagger's royal bedroom~

Dagger sat in her room, by herself. "I wonder if Auron and the others are alright, especially Tidus. Why did Zorn and Thorn arrest us like that? Mother has been strange since my birthday last year, in fact that's when those two strange men began to appear......"

 

Steiner stared at Auron. "I must save the princess at all costs!" he said to them.

~Dagger's Royal Bedroom~

Zorn and Thorn entered the room and stared at Dagger.

"Queen Brahne summons you." Zorn said as Thron spoke. "Come with us."

 

'What was that phrase? Oh, yeah.' Dagger took a deep breath and shouted to the clowns what Zidane told Vivi in Dali, "Get off me, you scumbag!"

 

Zorn was confused and looked at Thorn. "What was that? I do not understand." as the other nodded in argeement. "Understand what she said, I do not, either." The two stared at dagger.

"Enough! Now, come with us!" The two fo them said at the same time and soon forced her to follow to another room. "Hurry up!"

Thorn looked at her. "For so long, the queen has waited." The lead her to where Queen Brahne was.

 

Dagger walked up and bowed to her mother. Bahrne smiled, "There you are, I was worried sick about you."

"I am fine. Captain Auron led me back home. Mother, I need to ask you something."

"Yes, dear? What is it? I'll tell you anything."

"Is it true you attacked Bumerica?"

"Oh, dear. You see, Garnet, darling, those filthy rats were plotting to destroy Alexandria and I couldn't let that happen."

"I see. I am sorry to have doubted you."

"Wonderful acting, queen." Shuyin walked up.

 

Kuja and Ryrin walked in the room as Kuja smiled. "May I play a part in this act?" He asked as Ryrin remained slient.

 

"Act?" Dagger grew nervous as Shuyin walked up to her and placed his hand on her shoulder.
