clear out first. Names such as Rex, Marilyn, Opal, etc... are my current party members in

Final Fantasy Tactics. The rest are the usual persons who make up Final Fantasy Tactics &

Final Fantasy 7. ( Cloud, Ramza, Agrias, etc.. ) Both FF Tactics and FF7 are copyright

SquareSoft. With that out of the way, let's begin with the story.

It was a warm, sunny morning in Goug Machine City, sunlight crept into Mustadio and

Besrodio's workplace. Mustadio was hard at work while Ramza and Agrias were quietly

playing a game of chess at the end of the room. Rad and company were simply enjoying

a relatively peaceful day for once. It had been a month since Ramza had almost defeated

Wiegraf, the former leader of the Death Corps. Ramza was suprised to see his enemy to become

a Temple Knight in the Osbornne Monastery. He wondered when he'd meet up with him

again. Holding the Aries Zodiac Stone, Wiegraf could become Velius, the sorceror, at will.

Opal and Marilyn were sipping their tea while Rex, the undead friend, was watching over

the chocobos. Rad was glad that Rex accepted the invitation about 3 months ago in Sweegy

Woods, just before they would storm Lionel Castle to try to save Princess Ovelia. It was

when they fought against Draclau, who became Queklain, that Rex could use his strength

as a Skeleton, he was invulnerable to Queklain's Nightmare spell, and was the cause of

their victory over the Zodiac demon. Diaz, the group's chemist was trying to master using

X-potions, which would be helpful in battle. Marilyn was a great Summoner and Wizard

as well. She knew but the best spells in the book. Opal, on the other hand, was the Priest

who'd specialise in White Magic. She had recently learned Holy, which she was very proud.

" Check and mate ! " Ramza said as he won against Agrias. Agrias didn't even bother to say

anything. Ramza knew she was kind of angry, but Agrias wasn't the type to get angry at

losing at a game of chess.

" You're better and better, Ramza. " she finally replied. Ramza smiled at her. He was very glad

that she had joined them. While she wasn't a master Holy Swordsman, she was well trained and

she could kill her enemies in one blow. All of a sudden, Mustadio comes out and calls to the rest.

" Hey, come and see this ! You too, Rex ! " he said. Rex simply attached the chcobos around

a tree and gave them some food and left to Mustadio's workplace.

" Uhhhhh, what's this ????? " Diaz asked impatiently. Mustadio turned to everyone and started

to explain : " This, my friends, might be a way to travel faster around Ivalice. I call it a teleporter.

You could go from here to Lesalia capital City in a fraction of a second ! " he said. Mustadio

picked up a pigeon simply feeding on scraps of bread from their breakfast they had earlier.

" I'll prove it, just you watch... " he said as he put the pigeon into the pod. Brilliant flash of

light surrounded the room as the pigeon dissapeared. All were wondering if it really worked.

" You sure it didn't get killed in the process ???? " Rad asked . " I don't know... "

Mustadio started to worry but there was no need to. A few days later, Olan Durai came to

Goug Machine City. He walked up to Besrodio, Mustadio's father, and asked sarcastically :

" You wouldn't happen to know how a pigeon just popped out of nowhere in Lesalia, would

you ??? " Mustadio, hearing this, ran down to the street and waved to Olan.

" I can't beleive it, it worked ! " was his response. The others were indeed suprised that it worked.

" Amazing, Mustadio ! But I still don't think it's a good idea for us to go in that thing. " Agrias

was still not sure about Mustadio's invention. " I can't blame you, Agrias. Machines are mostly

unpredictable and accidents do happen ! " Mustadio answered Agrias. A week had passed

since Mustadio's teleporter proved to be safe. Rex was still looking after the chocobos, while

Marilyn and Opal were getting ready to sleep. " I really wonder what could happen if the machine

would malfunctioned .... " Opal wondered. Marilyn, being shocked at her worries, reassured her

that everything would be fine. So everyone went to sleep, while Rex guarded the gates of the city.

Around 4:00 A.M. , there was a disturbance that woke everyone. Rex ran into Mustadio's house

and screamed : " Hey Ramza, Agrias, Mustadio, etc..., we've got company !!!! "

Everybody, although very tired got out of their bed and donned their battle gear. Ramza looked

outside, but saw nothing. " Uhhh Rex, what's going on ????? " Ramza asked angrily at the skeleton.

" It's the Shrine Knights, Ramza, Wiegraf is here ! " He got out his sword, ready for battle, but the

enemy wasn't around.... They heard a voice in Mustadio's workshop. " What in the blazes is this ??!!! "

" No ! The teleporter ! We got to stop him ! " As everybody ran into the workshop, Wiegraf was in the

pod, while a Shrine Knight  was trying to activate the machine.

Ramza : Wiegraf ! Don't do this ! You don't know where it will take you !

Wiegraf : So we meet again, Ramza. But I won't fight you now, maybe some other time.

Before anything else could be done, Wiegraf dissapeared in a flash of light. The Knight

followed him. Both Shrine Knights were gone....

Agrias : Where do you think they've gone ????

Mustadio : No idea, Agrias, but it can't be good.

Rad : Don't tell us. We have to follow him, right ?????

Ramza : I'm afraid so, Rad. We can't let Wiegraf harm innocent people.

With that, the party entered the pod one at a time, to the unkown destination.
