Chapter 2: Reunited

Algus's Theme

     "You're right!" Shouted Izlude. "We need to help him!" Izlude ran off to get his Red Chocobo. Jessy got thier old weapons and armor. Baker gathered his potions and elixirs James was geting another chocobo, a Black chocobo. A minute later they were all ready. "Let's go!!" Shouted Izlude on his chocobo. Izlude and James were riding on chocobos while everyone else was on foot.

     Outside Ramza needed help. His friends Gaffgarion and Agrias were weak and they had no potions. "Need help?" Shouted Izlude towards Ramza and his friends. Ramza waved and the group started to fight. Izlude was on his fastset chocobo which gave him the ability to run and slice. His chocobo was using choco meteor while Jessy and James were shooting at enemys with arrows. Baker was busy helping the weak and injured. Agrias and Gaffgarion were unable to fight becuase it would take Baker a while to treat they're wounds.

     About 1 hour later the enmys were dead or had retreated. Izlude has a few scrapes, Jessy had a huge slash wound on her arm while James was almost uninjured. Baker quickly gave them potions. "Where were you all these years?" Said Ramza in a surprised tone of voice. "We decided to live together while you left." Izlude said quickly/ "Where are you headed?" Asked Jessy. "Bethla Garrison." Answered Ramza. Izlude spoke up suddenly. "I know a short cut!" "You do?" Shouted Ramza. "It;s close follow me." He said as he showed Ramza the trail. "Go through Araguay Woods. " Izlude pointed to some woods. "Would you mind coming with us?" Asked Gaffgarion, stepping infront of Ramza."I wouldn't mind." Said Izlude. "I would love to go!" Shouted Jessy, jumping into the air with excitment. Jessy. "I would like to join you." Said Baker in his normal quiet tone. "Try and stop me." Said James running up to the forrest enterance. "well let's go then." Said Gaffgarion in a quick tone of voice. Jessy knew there was something wrong with him, she shrugged off the idea and continued into the woods. Izlude had let his chocobo return home. He told it he'd be back in about a day or so.

     A day later they had reached Aruguay woods. Everyone saw some goblins fighting a chocobo. Izlude ran p to the lead goblin with his sword a slashed it accross the back it fell and died. The rest of the goblins backed up. Izlude hoped on the chocobo wile everyone else was ready to fight. The goblins were mostly attacking Izlude and the chocobo whil Jessy was shooting the stray one with arrows. Baker was running around giving potions. James shot a goblin that was behind Jessy, it didn't even know what hit it before it slumped to the ground with a small groan. Izlude rode on the the chocobo attacking the goblins. One snuck up behind Izlude and knocked him off the chocobo. He fell unconsious. The goblins were kicking him and scratching him. Ramza saw one was about to attack Izlude with Izlude's sword. Ramza ran at top speed and sliced it accross the chest. If fell and died. Izlude was still out when the battle was over. They rested for a day and waited for Izlude to wake up.

     The next day when Izlude had woken up the chocobo that he had helped cast choco cure on him. Izlude was well. Later that day they had left for Zirekile falls. Izlude rode on his new chocobo which was very loyal unlike most chocbos he had seen in the forrest.

     A day later they reached Zirekeile falls just as a Knight was taking Princess Ovelia. "Stand back!" Shouted the Knight, who was sourrounded by Hokuten Knights. "You'll kill me now! Since I know the truth!" He shouted again. "Kill you! We wont we just want the Princess!" Gafgarion suddely ran up. "Get her men, kill her and that knight!" Agrias ran after him. "What?! Kill the princess?"

     "Of course! It's the only way to make money! Are you helping, Ramza?"

     No!" Ramza shouted. "I'm sick on people dieng like this! I'll save the princess!" The battle started already! Ovelia used her magic to give a barrier around herself. Ramza was helping the Knight. Izlude was helping Baker give out potions to our allies.

     "ARGH!!" Shouted Baker as Gafgarions Night Sword skill hit him. "Damn! A misfire! I was going for the brat squire!" Izlude knew that was him. He ran towards Gafgarion. Before Gafgarion could react he was hit across his arm on leg with the bade of Izlude's sword. "GAH!" He shouted. "Damn! I can't die here!" He shouted as he teleported to safety, an old magicians trick. Izlude ran to Baker and saw his wound. He was bleeding from the side. Izlude gave him a potion his wound was slowley healing. Baker got up, and thanked Izlude. Izlude then ran off to the battle to fight.

     Jessy and James were shooting arrows at the Knights they were at the top of the falls. They didn't see a Knight coming... Agrias saw him. "Life is short! Bury! Stastis sword!" She shouted as Ice fell from the sky hitting the enemy, killing him.

     After the battle everyone was okay. Ramza was about to talk to the Knight but some Mindflares, a rare enemy, came up from the falls ready to fight. The Knight ran off but we stayed to fight.
