Meanwhile, Locke and Terra were fighting the mysterious shadow figure. Terra was continually casting Firaga on him while Locke was using weapons to deal some damage. The mysterious shadow figure didn't flinch though, then revealed himself as...

(I'm going to try and jump in in a minute, but first... does anyone know the name of Balthier's airship? I saw it in FFXII, but forgot it already...)

Balthier picked himself off of the deck of the Strahl, his airship. Looking around the cockpit, he saw a barren wasteland of a desert that looked similar to the desert that had been the main scenery five seconds ago, except that it was grey ash instead of golden sand.

He almost fell over again as the Strahl lurched, its magicite drive faltering. Ever the calm one even in a crisis, the sky pirate turned to his first mate, the bunny-eared veera Fran.

"What happened?"

"I'm not sure, but whatever hit us damaged our magicite drive. I count about 30 seconds before it fails completely."

"And our location?"

"I'm not sure." She frowned. "The locator isn't picking up any familiar waypoints."

She paused as the Strahl lurched again.

"It's the Mist, isn't it?" said Balthier, who knew that his co-pilot was very sensitive to strong magicks.

"I feel it still, but... it's unfamiliar. Alien, almost... as if we were on another world..."

At that moment, the magicite drive failed. Balthier grabbed the controls as the airship went into a steep dive.

"Hang on to something, we're going down!"

(Since Balthier and Fran are closely connected, i've taken control of both of them for now. If somebody wants to do Fran, just let me know and I'll be happy to give her character away.)

Balthier and Fran, looking slightly battered but okay, inspected the crashed Strahl. The airship had survived relatively unscathed, with one exception...

"The magicite drive is gone." Fran looked up at Balthier. "It appears that all of its energy was drained in that explosion."

"Well, that's not good." Balthier commented, scanning the horizon. He saw a massive structure in the distance. "Looks like we head that way."

They savlaged what they could, but as they prepared to leave, Fran suddenly froze.

"What is it?"

"Someone approaches. Someone powerful."

Balthier looked around and saw a man in red walking towards their ship. He unsholdered his rifle.

"Don't let your guard down," he said. "I don't know what's going on here, but I don't like it one bit."

Cid was amazed and bemused by the size of the place. "Wait, are you tellin' me this here place was used to train mercenaries out of you kids?"

He was a little more amazed that it could fly, but then again, his own aircraft, the Shera, was actually derived from salvaged technology. Even he didn't understand quite how the engine worked, as much of it was actually encased in this weird box of black...stone? Metal? Whatever the power source was, it didn't seem to be radioactive, either standard or Mako.

And as for that Squall fella, Cid was wondering what had been happening. Maybe the shift into another world had upset him. This girl, couldn't be more than 20, reminded him of Shera, but unlike Shera, Quistis seemed to have already lost the battle, considering what she had said about this Rinoa. Cid thought back to Cloud, and how both Aeris and Tifa had fallen in love with him. Only, Aeris had apparently fallen in love with Cloud because he was very much like another SOLDIER, Zack Fair.

And then there was what Cid had heard about Vincent Valentine and Lucrecia Crescent.

"'scuse me, little lady." Cid said, before turning to the two WRO soldiers accompanying him. "Listen, I'll see what's cooking. Try and get on to the WRO, or failing that, Wutai. Yuffie may be there. If this dimensional disturbance ain't isolated to this world, we might be gettin' new arrivals soon, and not all of them may be pleasant."

"But sir, what about you?"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. If I'm not, you'll know it." Cid grinned and pointed to the spear on his back. As the WRO soldiers walked back to the Shera, Cid turned to Quistis and shrugged.

"Sorry 'bout that, but I only just got the Shera repaired. We've just been fighting some guys called DEEPGROUND and before that, a legendary SOLDIER called Sephiroth. And judging by your guys reaction, it seems you've fought some mean bastards in your life. So, tell me, these Hot Dogs, do they come with cheese?"

((Please feel free to use Terra as you wish. I will probably not write for a while yet.))

Cid looked at the girl with the black hair and cheery expression. So that's Rinoa. She reminded him a little in nature of Aeris.

"Oh, I dunno. Sephiroth was pretty much a guy who discovered he was part of some experiment, went barmy, then wanted to bring a Meteor down on us. Came back just a little over a year ago, but Cloud, that's a friend of mine, sliced-and-diced him. Sephiroth's got silver hair, long as a girl's and carries a big Masamune sword. But anyway, was that a Chocobo your friend there was carryin'? We race them over at the Golden Saucer, but I have a stable on the Shera. I put it in when we rebuilt it."

((Can I just ask why somebody hasn't revealed the mysterious shadow figure I mentioned. He was supposed to be someone from another FF game and yet nobody decided to jump on this and take action))

((I don't have anybody in mind, so any character who has joined who isn't involved in another scenario can jump in)).

"Uhh, yeah." Cid ran out of the Garden, taking longer than he would have liked (so much for directions) and ran, pell-mell, for the Shera. He yelled at the crewmembers lounging around the entrance "What the hell are you doing? Get back in there."

As they ran in, Cid turned around to see what was attacking the Garden. His mouth gaped.

"Holy $#!T!"
