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

"You're doing great Princess!" Zidane whispered to her, impressed.

~

Yuri wtached the play. "Isn't that a white mage robe?" he thought to himself, seeing mages were very rare in Alexandrian terrority. "Then again, this is Alexandria, anything's possible." Yuri concluded in his thoughts.

 

"Ahahaha. I have studied drama, you know." Garnet whispered back to him.

 

Baku whispered to everyone within range. "Okay guys, keep going, Brahne's still watchin, after all!" Zidane nodded and spoke out loud.

"See, King Leo? Thou shouldst give them thy blessing!"

King Leo shook his head. ""Never! Never leave his side, thou sayest? Foolish banter! I'll not allow it! Cornelia shall marry none other than this man--Prince Schnieder! Is that not so, Prince Schnieder?" He asked Steiner who was confused and had pointed to himself. "M-Me? marry the Princess?"

"Aye! And this traitorous crew, I will put to death!" he declared and his two lackeys come forth as Zidane and Marcus 'beaten up' them both as they ran away.

"Pray, sweet daughter, come home to the castle with me!" King Leo looked at Garnet/Cornelia

 

"Nay, father. I shan't return with you." Garnet/Cornelia told her father.

~

The man sighed sadly watching this scene.

 

"Cornelia... Trouble me no more. This wedding is for thine own welfare. Be mindful of that." King Leo/Baku said in response but Marcus stood up.

"Not if I can help it!!! Now is my moment of vengeance! For my parents, and for my love, Cornelia... I shall cut thee down!" he declared proudly and drew out his prop sword then went to kill King Leo but Garnet had run in front of him and got 'struck' with the blade.

"No... Cornelia!!!"" He gasped and looked at her with solemn eyes.

 

"Mar..... cus, forgive me. I still love my father...... Prithee, forgive my selfishness, Father, and spare my sweet Marcus....." Garnet weakly spoken and 'died'.

~

Although wondering what happened to Garnet, Brahne was weeping quite loudly at this scene.

~

Yuna cried and smiled.

~

"Wow, what a show!" Puck said, happily, he, Vivi, and the man had stepped down closer. Vivi covered his eyes, "Yeah, so sad....." Soon enough, some guards ran after them, Puck ran away from them, the man shouted, "Puck, you coward!" Yuna gasped and looked at the man.

 

Marcus was now brought over with grief ""What have I done!? Am I never to hear her loving voice again!? Am I cursed never again to feel her soft touch!? O, cruel fate! Thou hast robbed me of all I treasure!"

Zidane ran to Marcus "Marcus!" he called out to his friend but was too late as Marcus 'stabs' himself and fell to the floor as Steiner fell to hsi knees. "P-P-Princess!!" he was distraught as he too had caught up in act.

~

Yuri thought the play was fantastic until he heard noises and turned his head, seeing the guards and he knew without a doubt he was caught with the black mage and the man. "...Haha...not my day is it?" He asked himself in his thoughts as he ran and was running alognside the man and Vivi as he somehow moved in with ease as his guards followed suit.

"Definitely not my day!" Yuri said as he ran with the mage and man, not caring if they heard him, he'd rather run than be locked in jail, any man would agree to that.

 

Yuna, Rikku, and Paine followed them onto the stage, Vivi shouted at the guards, "Leave us alone!" He cast a fire spell, which caught onto Garnet's robe, "Ouch!" She tossed it and rubbed her arm.

 

Baku looked at Zidane, not caring about the extra passengers on board. "It's time!" as Zidane nodded in reply "Princess! let's get out of here!" Zidane responded when Baku ran into the airship to start the engines and Steiner looked at them "What....what is going on!?" he had asked them in confusion.

Yuri looked at Garnet and he did admit to himself right now, Alexandria wasn't lying about her beauty. "And if anyone thought it was a understatement, they were wrong....badly wrong." He thought to himself, of course, he wasn't a man who'd oogle over that, it was disrespectful to her and to his pride as a swordsman.

The audience had meanwhile, gasped in surprise.

 

Angel appeared out of nowhere, knocking out the two guards who chased the man and Vivi on the stage. Garnet turned to Steiner, who was standing near her masked guard, "Steiner! Don't follow me anymore!"

The man lowered his hood, and Yuna gasped, recognizing the face.

 

Zidane stared at Garnet. "Come on Princess. let's ditch Sir Rustalot here!" he said to her and looked over to Vivi and bent down to him. "Hey kid, you all right?" he asked him but couldn't get a answer due to Sir Rustalot's speech.

Steiner instantly went back to duty mode. "Princess, I cannot allow you to go! Seize them at once!" As another pair of knights appeared within a instant, swords drawn as Steiner also had his unsheathed.

Zidane quickly blocked one of the knights with his daggers crossed, Marcus had another on his hands, the black mage was about to have a sword swung at him had it not been for a timely block on Yuri's arrival.

"I thought knight's didn't use weapons on children." He simpy responded and witha swift stroke, knocked the sword out of the hands of said knight as it clanged onto the ground as Yuri stepped over Vivi, careful not to tread on him as the Knght ran.

"Disarmed and already running?" Yuri thought to himself, that certainly was a bit surprsing as Zidane and Marcus dealt with their opponents swiftly, leaving only Steiner.

~

"Stabilizers configured!" he announced and Blank spoke up next.

"Engine room is ready to go!"

Baku nodded. "Alright! We're movin' out!" he ordered as Cinna and Blank nodded and soon the airship was staring it's engines to lift itself up.

 

As the Prima Vista was getting ready to leave, Brahne ordered harpoons to be shot at the airship, and their secret weapon, a Bomb. Yuna, Rikku, Paine, and the masked soldier pulled out their weapons, as well as the man.

 

Steiner was too focused on getting the Princess back he didn't notice the Bomb was behind him and slowly expanding.

"Hey! Look behind you!" Zidane called to him but Steiner was not listening. "I'll not fall for such an old trick!" He repsonded as he went for a attack on Zidane before quickly blocked.

"Just turn around!" Yuri said loudly. "If that thing explodes...!" Yuri thought to himself, Bombs did have the reputation for expanding then exploding to damage immensely, hence their name.

 

"Buckethead! You better turn around!" The man shouted, Rikku nodded, shouting, "Can't you see there's a Bomb behind you?!"

 

Steiner heard a nosie behidn him as he turned around and fell to hsi bottom, afraid all fo s udden as it was at it's largest state.

"It's gonna...!" Yuri stopped and quickly fell to the floor, pushing down whoever was nearest to him as the bomb exploded.

The Prima Vista howver, kept soaring even though it was badly damaged a part fell onto Alexandria but it wasn't going to last long as Baku called out.

"We've gonna crash!"

Indeed it was the Prima Vista crashlanded in the forest below ALexandria and a small explosion occured, Zidane howver, was thrown off from teh sheer force and landed a littleways from the crash site.

 

Yuna woke up and looked around, the man was clenching his shoulder, which was bleeding badly. The soldier was nearby, with his hamlet blown off.

~

Brahne was quite mad to say the least, and asked the court jesters to prepare their little experiment. Before they left, the prime minister said, "And tell our little prisoner to accompany them, and if he succeeds, we'll help him help his sweetheart." He took off his glasses and untied, revealing his long hair and two horns.

 

Yuri's hand twitched as he awoke and forced himself up. "That...could of been better..." he thoguht to himself as he stood up, getting the clinks out of his body.

~

Zidane awoke as well and walked to the end, seeing th destoryed prima Vitsa and he shook hsi head. "Hoo boy." He said and jumped down a suitable path to reach the airship.

 

Yuna helped bandage the man's shoulder and made her way back to the airship, Angel jumped down in front of Zidane and looked around.

 

"Hey Cinna." Zidane said and Cinna was in shock. "ZIdane, you were crazy jumping off at that distance!"

Zidane rubbed behind his head. "I couldn't help it, the force sent me there." he said to him.

 

Yuna ran around for Rikku and Paine, the man wandered around for Vivi.
