I love that child, and "thou" should too~.
On an unrelated note: I love the Phantom Train boss fight, ever heard of jumping off the railroad tracks guys?

THAT REMINDS ME! I enjoy using mysterious child.
As for Phantom Train: DIE! DIE! DIE! I hate that thing since I did not use a phoenix down

Chapter 9: End of a Long JourneyWhere we last left Sabin, the fool was daredevil enough to jump into a waterfall even though it was the currents of a river that got him into this mess. He wakes up... and we find a character introduction!   And here's the child's name! Isn't he cute? heart Too bad he runs off after Sabin wakes up. Not to worry though, there is a way of recruiting him!  Sometime before reaching our destination, Shadow goes off to wherever ninjas poof when their contracts are done. Oh noes, our trio's down to two! (Luckily we'll have Gau on our side in a matter of minutes.)  Stopping in the town of Mobliz, it's time to chat with NPCs and do more for the world of RPG capitalism.  The first thing we do is head to the Inn. It's a Godsend without healers around.  Then we head outside to get a hint drop on how to recruit Gau! Time to buy the kid a steak or two.  You can just get 1 for when you run into Gau in one of the random encounters after you beat up all the enemies, or you can get several and use these babies to recover 150 hp! heart   For a small town, Mobliz sure has gear for war. Get some weapons/armor not just for your current party, but for the others two when they meet up! They'll be thanking Sabin for thinking of them. :3  And in the meantime, your strong arm gets even stronger. heart With the shopping bags full and the gold pouch getting close to empty, it's time to go out and give Gau his dinner.  After you defeat monsters, he'll show up after a Random Encounter. Do NOT attack him, or Gau will run away from you, meanie! :C  Instead, Sabin throws a steak out to him. It leads to a hilarious recruitment scene that could only be expressed in moving pictures!  Into it though, Gau gives us a hint that he has some kind of treasure! We love treasure, don't we?  Sabin: I'll put his treasure hunting title to shame! >D   Sabin: For the last time, Mr. Thou's name is CYAN!!! D<  Ooo, exact locations! Well, we know where we're headed! That's right, another mountain cave to smash encounters and take a look at Gau's shiny thing. smile Before going headlong into danger though, we go into Mobliz again to equip our newest party member.  The most awesome thing that I actually learned is that Gau can equip shields, even if he can't equip weapons, so that means his left hand can boost his defense!  There is also an optional quest you can do before you finally leave this town for good. A hurt soldier is getting letters from his love. You read them to him...  And then like the good Samaritan you are, you go and send postage to his girlfriend for him. Then, you go just talk to the relic shop dude (you don't have to buy anything), and go crash in his bed for free. After a time, the soldier will realize what you've done for him..    And you get this nifty relic! What does it do?  OMG, free HP regen! Isn't doing optional quests worth it? biggrin With our good deeds done, you know what time it is.  To the chocobo stable, and on to the cave! Let's go bag some treasure, yo.  Stop just outside, and save if you like.  Gau pokes around, but then much to the party's (and player's) dismay, he's forgotten where his treasure is! So much for it being precious...  After a few cave wanderings, we at last find Gau's shiny thing. Lo and behold, it looks like a scuba helmet! Sabin gets the idea to use it to go under the water through the famed Serpent Trench. (Sheesh, does this guy just LOVE water or something?) I guess it can somehow be used for all three of them. Huh.  At least he hasn't forgotten why he needs to go swimming.  Ohshi- we are underwater fo real, y'all. Most of this isn't controlled by the player, except for times when you need to turn right.  You encounter pansies underwater too. They're nothin' a plain old attack (or Gau's first Rage, even) can't handle.  While under the Sea, there are several treasures waiting in caves. <3  Of them all, this is the most valuable. Hooray for the Green Beret, for those who wear it will be tougher with more HP, because they joined the army!  After a while, we are just shown moving under the water until...  Sabin finally gets washed up on a place that isn't the bank of a river! That's right, it's Nikeah, folks! We're finally here and Sabin's quest is almost over! Huzzah! Did I mention the NPC's here are rude?  Cyan: Sure, thou must rubbeth it in our faces! stressed  I'm not even in your way, scram! scream  Not wanting to deal with any more of their rudeness, Sabin decides it's time to go home before Edgar's finished making dinner, and by that I mean ordering a Figaro Specialty Pizza. And with the Longest Quest out of the way, we at last advance the plot to the final (and shortest) scenario of our party-split. What pansy random encounters wait Edgar, Terra and Banon? We'll find out in the next chapter.

Chapter 10: Forward March!At last, the party-split is almost over, and our player-built army is nearly all together for formation.  This moogle acts as if we have a choice on what to pick.  As if the Returner's leader needs any help from these posers we're fighting! Although a little arrows from our favorite engineer King and a little hot fire from our spicy mage do help things along quite nicely, oh yeaaah. heart So in this journey we see...  More rafting...  More pushovers in the water...  And even more pushovers as we get on land and head to Narshe. Yawn.  And somehow, Sabin's gifts transfer to the party! Edgar gets a nifty pike. <3  And Terra toughens up! By going through basic training, she becomes an Army of One, boosting her HP as she becomes a lean, mean fightin' machine!  With a little feminine side to wear silk. rofl  And in the meantime, Eddy here has some brand spankin' new Iron armor, with a free shining kit that is guranteed to cast blind on your enemies! ... I wish.  OMG, we're finally here? It's about time after all those side-quests!  Bring it, man. I could take you on any day! D<  Edgar: You think I'd lie about my royal lineage?! You're freakin' kidding me.  Yep, that's a common trait with stupid people, guys.  Terra: Hey guys, Locke showed me his special cave! Edgar: Terra, that's where he hides all his smuggled goods! Dx Banon: And you know this... because..? Edgar: Ahem. Here's a switch.  Terra: Yaaaay! biggrin  Ffff- did they cut the bridge when I was away? Looks like I'll have to find another way around.  Follow the shiny light to the door! If you don't, the shiny will get mad...  And it will throw these guys at you! gonk  3578948 tries later, the door is reached. Phew. I suggest taking off the Sprint Shoes so you don't overshoot the path.  Then our party finds what looks like... a moogle nest. Seems like they're taking a deserved rest from the battle they fought alongside Locke about 9 chapters ago.  It was worth it to explore! Here we steal treasure hunt a snazzy new weapon for Terra!  Terra: Oh, shiny Save Point, you haven't moved since the last time Locke and I were in this cave!  It looks like the bridge didn't get cut, I was just looking at the wrong one! They all look the same with these kind of graphics! scream  Terra: Hey, old maaaaan! We're hooomeeee!!!!!!! heart  And now the old man from Chapter 1 is suddenly named Arvis. I guess he has to have a name to speak to other characters with names.  Remember how Terra's Dr. Dolittle?  Dude, no you don't. That Esper will make you disappear unless you're Terra. D:  Or maybe it will just come and break your machines, lulz.  And now that the fireside chat about the Esper is done, it is time for the groups to meet at last! The trio are the first to go to the Elder, where they proceed to get their ears talked off.  I thought the fact that "people never learn" had been established! In comes our wayward monk! biggrin  Sabin: Yeah, it's not like fast movin' river or a waterfall can do me in! 8D   And of course, his party members also give fond introductions. Cyan: Thou art the hopeless romantic brother of his? Gau: Gau want chocolates that you never give to girls! Edgar: |||OTL FML. And of course after their introductions...  Cyan must go straight into his Swordsman Angst. What's worse is that the Narshe Elder is a stubborn old coot who doesn't believe that Doma was neutral when Kefka decided to make the water purple and deadly.  In comes Locke! He brings news that "yo, just because you're neutral don't make you safe." Yep, just like all villains, the Empire thinks that you're either an ally or conquered! How Romanesque.  Locke: And now she's my bride-to-be! Terra: I thought I was your bride-to-be! D:   Cyan: Letteth me sliceth this foul dame! Locke: Dude, you can't! Cyan: BUT THOU MUST! scream  Never mind that Celes could probably defend herself, Locke. stare  Oh ho ho! Edgar brings up Locke's vaguely foreshadowed past. <3  Cyan: THIS CANNOT BE! D:  Well said, Edgar. heart  Sabin: Counfound it all, now everyone is talking like you! gonk  Kefka: And also leave plenty of fires on the way! Muahahaha!  We're not bugs! D:  And we're not garbage either! ;-;  And now that he's totally believing us, the Elder calls our crew forth like a true army! It's time to beat up some Imperials, guys! In our next chapter... it's baaack! Another three-team defense mission in front of the Esper, and a duel with Kefka that I wish was to his death.

Chapter 11: We'll Hold 'Em off 'til the Bitter End!Welcome back, viewers, to Let's Play Final Fantasy VI! The last we left our army, they were marching military style to meet the empire.  And we start off with once again, Eddy getting no love.  Ooh, Celes embraces her gift? That's a first for Girls with Mysterious Magical Power.  Terra: o: Maybe we're sisters.  And it turns out that the fire and ice magicians aren't sisters, but rather, Celes was the Empire's test tube magic baby.  Terra: Edgar said it's when you're "head over heels" for someone, whatever that means... Edgar: Seriously, FML. D:  And all through the march, Celes seems to have regained her frigid, general-like composure. I'm actually starting to believe she's a Magitek knight now! O:  When you reach your destination, the troops are lined up! Make sure and outfit them with the gear Sabin splurged on when he was in Mobliz, for they shall need it!  When you're ready, talk to the old man, and the battle will commence. Notice the enemy waiting so patiently until you're all geared up and ready to go. :3  Since I didn't screencap this bit of our first defense mission, I shall give you the briefing, troops!  Because we all know that "divide and conquer" is a wonderful strategy... wait! We're defending here!  Edgar and Terra: Seriously, after we spent a whole chapter and a half defending him?! scream  And now it's time to split the parties. You'll want to spread the healers and the strong arms, so there will be as much balance as possible. Since Sabin has pretty high HP, I'll stick him in the group without a healer, because he can take a hit and dish out twice as hard, baby. redface Edgar and Terra made a fantastic team thus far, so keeping them together seems great. Cyan, Celes and Locke make up the only trio of the groups. Cyan is pretty strong physically, Locke can of course steal, and then Celes will be a healer. You don't have to arrange them like this, but I think this is pretty darn fine. 8D  Ohshi- Look at how many troops Kefka has! Luckily you're not going up against them all at once! Come on, generic soldiers! Make my day! >D  After facing what seems like the endless torrent of soldiers, your three groups are left to face Kefka, who doesn't move? Awesome, you mean I actually get to pound his face in at last? heart Sign me up!  For strength in numbers, I send the Celes/Locke/Cyan trio on him. Spamming Runic helps absorb Kefka's deadly magic. Strangely enough, he doesn't use fire.  He has a potent MP restore to swipe too! biggrin You can't miss it!  But of course, the pansy clown takes off after taking one to many hits... sheesh, what a coward, for the big bad evil dude he's trying to be! stare  Sabin: Many don't forget my fist meeting their faces. heart  I know what you mean, Edgar! Those soldiers were a lot tougher than their leader! ;-;  Terra: Esper, no means no! Dx  The esper goes and knocks the party down though! This cannot be good, considering what happened to those soldiers in the Prologue. D:  Edgar: And for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction! Sabin: Bro, this is no time for Newton physics! Dx Edgar: It keeps me calm! ;-; Don't judge me.  And even though Terra's the Esper Whisperer, she still can't seem to understand it.  And the sparks fly... again?  Oh snap! Terra just transformed! o:  All: Please do not obliterate me! D:  Turns out the morphed Terra doesn't even touch her friends! Instead, like Team Rocket, she's blasting off agaiiiin!  And like Peter Pan, she can fly, can fly, she can flyyyyy!!!!!  The scene cuts to sleepy head Locke being awakened by Celes's loving voice.   Locke: Well, that explains a lot...  Hooray for hint drops! I sense an adventure to find a lost party member comin' on.  Celes: Your promises don't seem to special if you make them to everybody. Edgar: stare Unlike what the foolish fangirls want, Locke has... and WILL never make promises to me.  Edgar: Leave the Terra-hugging to me!  In other words, one party will have a daring adventure to find their lost comrade, while the others get to just chill. <3  And name drops are even better! It's time for Edgar and Sabin to return to their home turf! <3  And so, I form my party. Locke to hunt the enemy's treasure, Celes as my healer once more, and the twins because of their offensive capabilities. As much as I regret it, I leave Gau behind... but Cyan to babysit! >D  Don't forget to swipe Narshe's only Elixir from the clock too.  Arvis: Yo, I heard you like hint drops so I'm gonna drop a hint...  I'm on it, sheesh! Is she any more than just your magic tool?! D< And so after leaving Narshe, it's time to advance! To Figaro Castle and beyond! In the next chapter: Edgar and Sabin remember the past, and we take a glimpse into Locke's memories. It's FF VI LP: Memory and Past Edition! heart

Chapter 12: Down Memory Lane, Part 1And so with their comrade, Terra on the loose and wrecking havoc in her new form, it's up to our motley crew to do a search for her.  Onward to Figaro castle for some good old-fashioned Past Exposition, starring Edgar and Sabin.  So Sabin takes off to go wandering around the castle just like he did when he was a little toddler.  And the castle guards are happy to see their King returning. c:  One of them is happy enough to drop a hint. Westward? Not yet, until we find Sabin in our game of hide and seek!  Where, where?! Let me at him!  Aww, Edgar's subordinates are worried about him. (They're possibly hinting a stay at the free inn too.)  Merchant: If I do, I'll be no different than Locke last week! Dx  Only a smooth operator like Edgar could be rude and courteous all at once.  Woo, new machines! No, this does not make Edgar pull his pants down in front of enemies, you sick freaks. D< It's something that shines a BRIGHT, BURNIN' holy light at them! =D Also, the Drill is by far one of Edgar's best tools. Thanks to having him in your party, you get a half-off discount, which is good because otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford any of this. heart  Dude, did you miss the memo or something? We established that in the earliest parts of the game!  After letting Sabin win hide and seek, it's time to take a snooze at the free inn. <3 Those gals probably missed everyone (except maybe their flirtatious King.)  Sabin: Just like mine and Edgar's sprites, everything has stayed basically the same in a decade.  ... sniff... ;-; And cue flashback.  I wouldn't doubt it! scream  Sabin: You're all mostly pathetic because I could beat you in thumb wrestling!  And you know because Sabin and Edgar are Princes at the time, their father's pretty much doomed. Fire Emblem Syndrome, anyone?  No, Sabin, you can't pull a Cyan yet, I need you! D:  Edgar: For serious, you're making things worse!  Sabin: ... He'd say "You're both brats and I should have never read you bedtime stories!"  And here I can tell that Edgar wants his freedom too...  And like a typical 16-year-old boy, Sabin thinks the solution to everything is running away. Unlike a typical 16-year-old boy, he actually goes through with it.  Because crucial things like succession could be decided by a coin toss!   Edgar: So if you end up nothing but a hermit up on a mountain who beats up people for the lulz, don't hold it against me.  And then the coin is tossed. We all know who won, in both cases...  Back to the present, Edgar comes in to remember the good ol' days. That and he cracks jokes about someone getting a little big. biggrin  And of course, Sabin's sea creature puns are just as good as Edgar's.  And the two share a toast. In my mind, they get smashed and talk trash about Locke and the others when the scene fades to black. 8D  With the free inn and the flashback past us, it's time to move on! Talking to the old man in the basement, the sand-submarine castle sinks again, and will emerge in Locke's home! Next chapter, we explore Kohlingen, as well as glimpse into Locke's memories.

Chapter 12x: Down Memory Lane, Part 2Onward it is to Kohlingen!  On the way, of course you can expect to fight some random encounters like this. They're nothing special. Since I got lost and went up to the clear north though, I ended up in this old dude's single house, knowing full well it was not Locke's hometown! gonk   The side tracking was well worth it though! biggrin We get an awesome relic...  And give this handy damage-raising accessory to the party's mage knight. heart  For real though, let's go into Locke's first stomping grounds! It's to the west of the desert, not clear up north!  It's about time we got here.  And just where would we be without our Terra-Tracker 200, NPC version?  Because scary things are beautiful, right guys?  She seemed human enough before! D:  And finally, someone recognizes Locke! Looks like he's got someone to visit too. o:  -shudder- Okay, this just got creepy.  And at last, when you go in the scary deserted house, Locke hints at his past, and makes a flashback happen.  Apparently Locke's "trade" began long before he was introduced in our earlier chapters.  Ah, maybe he is a treasure hunter after all! =D  But then unlike all the other stable bridges, this one starts to collapse as Locke stands on it.  Rachel pushes him out of the way, but she ends up falling instead...  One name scream later, Locke goes down after her.  And like all characters in this entire game, Rachel survives a long fall.  She also can't remember anything. Where have we heard this one before?  Ouch. Locke gets kicked out and blamed for something that's not his fault! D:  ;-; What's even worse is that Rachel gives him no love.  And as always, the death of a main character's loved one is at the hands of the Evil Regime.  ... and then the suck is just compiled for poor Locke. :C  And to put the icing on the cake, Locke blames himself.  But of course, we brighten up a little when we wind the clock and find this beautiful little treasure.  Edgar: "Cheer up, homie! I got you a new weapon that lets ya throw stuff from the back row and do as much damage as I do in the front!" 8D Locke: "...thanks, man."  FML. I only have enough funds to get one Mithril Shield! ;-; I can forget outfitting my troops for a long, long time, because of accidentally maxing out all of Edgar's Royal Credit cards at the weapon shop.  Apparently, even though she's dead, Rachel isn't even buried.  And this creepy old man somehow preserved her and ugh... -shudder-  .... Locke, there is a time to move on, seriously.  And Celes is even doing a double take at this absurdity! And remember what the Terra-Tracker 200, NPC Version said? Now with Locke's past and flashback under wraps, it's time to return to the present entirely, and continue the search! In the next chapter... FF VI's most classist town, hint drops, and a chocobo ride north to my least favorite city in the game.

Chapter 13: We Have Class (Bring a Monocle)And still, we're going forward to find clues on Terra's whereabouts. Hopefully, we find her soon because I hate having only one healer. D:  Anyway, southward we march! Of course there are random encounters, and of course they are no match for our foursome.  And here we are, the next place to gather info.  And here's an NPC that knows so much about the world map, that he points out the town is the western most! 8D  Yeah, this town is blatantly classist.  It's a good thing the gold ol' hard working middle class are well-stocked in case there's a zombie apocalypse.  Did I mention I love the gear here now that I've had a few encounters and I can afford a little more? <3  Celes just got twice as deadly from the back row.  And since Locke's now a ninja, just look at those boosts!  Sabin is lovin' this town too. biggrin  Wh...What? Locke looks like a female opera singer? gonk  And just for that, our treasure hunter goes to swipe his Tintcure. heart  Hurray for hint drops! Nay for where they head... And so with this short visit out of the way, we're a Chocobo ride's away from the town I'd rather not be in. heart

Chapter 14: The best Worst City in the World! As reluctant as I am to come here, give a warm unwelcome to the rainy city of Zozo!  People are so friendly that they'll leave you laying on the street thinking they're great!  But then how to people of Zozo make other people of - ... ohgod, they're all genetic experiments! gonk   So after we have a dead end on one of the towers, it's time to hop the windows!   And then in one of the tower rooms, we get Locke's best relic! heart "Capture" is like "Mug" in later FF's, it lets Locke attack while using the "steal"...erm... treasure hunt command.  And of course, there are more MP restoratives to be had, which is good, considering the sudden difficulty spike with random encounters here (Freaking level 2 magic already! D: )  Oooh, a Fire Knuckle!  Guess who just got a little more stronger? heart  And then you fight this guy who claims "I don't wanna fight". What a lyin' loser.  With the boss out of the way, the group finally finds Terra, and she's still morphed. o:  And making weird noises.  "Yeah right, man. Whenever someone says "the animal is more afraid of you then you are of them", the animal comes to bite my head off."  Locke: Are you God? I heard he had a long beard. O: Actually, Rumah's an Esper.  Yeah, unfortunately, she'll just be friends with Locke. A little more explanation occurs, and Rumah says that some Espers can keep human form if they want to.   Rumah: "What was your grandmother's name, I might have been her suitor at one point." rofl  And that's why Rumah remembers. heart  And of course, this War of the Magi is mentioned again. Not to be confused with War of the Maji, where the axeman Maji single-handedly pwned Dohlor with a Single Axe. :B  Basically, after the War of the Magi, the Espers decided to flip the humans the bird and make for their own world.   And like all Emperors, this one wants unlimited power through magic.  "And it said DO NOT ENTER in 20 different human languages."   And now that I know the morbid truth, I never wanna use Magitek suits again! gonk  And like the kind old man he is, Rumah volunteers to watch over his Great-Great-Great.... x 5 more granddaughter. The party says "Terra's an Esper", and this is Rumah's answer.  Le gasp x infinity!  Oh, do I see an opportunity to bust into the Empire and wreck them? <3  Dude, Locke's here! You think he's gonna let them die? He's one of the main characters, sheesh, have some faith in your RPG heroes.   But it turns out one can only fully, naturally use magic if they use a dead Esper's crystal. Ugh, that's even more morbid!  ;-; What's even worse is that the ol' man here is on his last legs.  Sadly, he is. :<  And again we're reminded the War of the Magi must not be repeated. Chances are that Kefka will repeat it though, since it "must never be repeated."     We receive our magicite, so it's time to gain summons and have other party members learn magic!  And when we turn around, look here! Our left-behind party members catch up!  With one final promise to Terra, it's time to go on and raid a Magitek research facility! biggrin  And of course Celes wants to prove her worth by going to Empire.  And Locke wants to stick to her like glue. That leads two party members selectable.  I stick with Edgar, because he can wreck multiple enemies, and I put in Gau because I want to use him! heart Sorry Cyan, you're benched again, matey.  "Because you don't get to be in the spotlight like me."  We know this drill by now. And Locke's reason for going with Celes?  His reason for anything!  And since it's been so long, and you guys might be new to Espers as I feel, let's have a quick tutorial!  Here's how to summon. biggrin  And don't waste your Esper powers, for you can only use them once, because they're like, Highlander or something. There can be only One!  And Espers even affect growth rates. Use this to either augment a characters' strengths or work on their weaknesses.  I'll give Celes Kirin, so she can learn more valuable healing magic.   Look at Gau's magic power! It's 2 under Celes's! o: I never realized just how much magic potential this kid had! I'm giving him Siren, so he can learn to kill things with fire.  That leaves Stray for Edgar, who could use the magic growths. After that, it's back to Jidoor for more hint drops, and the beginnings of Celes's opera career!

A couple of things: first off so far so good, we're getting to the interesting part of the game. I love the opera and the dramatic plot "heavy" drop of the game. wink
1.) War of Maji- A.K.A Chapters 2-Endgame, I love you for referencing him. heart
2.) Rumah- He dies, and respawns in time to be shoved into Cloud Strife's Buster Sword and sucked into Squall's magicial body then thrown around like a boss with Garnet and Eiko.
3.) Stray- My kitty cry only he hates me so he just sort of vanished and didn't leave behind his soul in a rock.
4.) Oh my hero~ _________

All right yay for the opera...that thing took me far too long to take care of.
Now for Nom comments:
1) Cyan, I am sorry for you. I enjoyed using you the entire game. YOU WILL GET YOUR MOMENT...I hope.
2) LOCKE CONFESS YOUR DANG LOVE TO CELES ALREADY! WE CAN ALL TELL YOU LOVE HER! THE TRUE REASON YOU WENT WITH HER WAS - *Gagged and dragged away*
3) I did not even know Gau had good strength in magic o.o

Chapter 15: Oh my Hero...The last we left our heroes, it was time to get passage to Vector, the capital of the Ominous Empire.  Back in Jidoor, we're hinted that we need an airship! Knowing FF, it was about time one was mentioned.  And again, Locke is called Maria! D:  Or rather, Celes is. Oh well, the joke was fun while it lasted. The Impresario, the dude in charge of the operas say that someone left this letter...  What kinda dude proposes in a letter? neutral  Locke: He sounds cheesy.  Who knows where Locke was born? There enough hints to show that he was a good ol' granny's boy. Lulz. And the Impresario introduces another character!   Setzer, a silver-haired dude in his thirties with an age-old gambling habit.  And he owns the only ship in the entire world, because they're off building Magitek armor, lulz.  And Celes hatches a plan, but how to do it?  Hop on that Chocobo and go to the Opera House, of course! It's time for someone to perform the opera of her life! (Hint hint.)  And because Setzer's a celebrity stalker fanboy of Maria, he's coming to abduct her.   But Locke has plans of his own! Imagine Setzer's surprise when he finds out "Maria" can freeze him with ice magic! 8D  Celes tries a verse, and her singing isn't half bad.  And although Celes objects, her good singing voice and resemblance to Maria are the only way to get Setzer out of the roulette room and flyin' his airship to the party.  gonk I'm sure Setzer doesn't look like an annoying purple octopus.  Ha ha, Ultros, you got rejected! heart And so... let the Opera begin! We start with the exposition...  Woo, polar opposites fighting, I love it already.  Let's hope he doesn't think of her so much that he spaces off an arrow or two flying in his direction.  And our heroes watch the male opera star sing his part.  Locke: Edgar, pass the popcorn. Edgar: Sure thing, bud. Gau: Gau want popcorn too!  Exit here, and climb up the stairs into the dressing room. Luckily, Celes is decent and there is no instant-death moves from her to Locke. Ahem.  He's still beet red from seeing her in the opera getup though. redface    And for some reason, the two have an awkward conversation about the past, who knows why?  And like a true gentleman, Locke changes the subject. heart  Even Celes knows the show must go on.  Awkwardness aside, Locke gives Celes the tip to check the score, that little book on the table. It tells what words to say, and then also what to do with the flowers afterward. Don't neglect it if it's your first time, or your first time in a long time.  And out this door we go to perform!  More exposition. O: The East wins.  And of course, marriage is loveless unless it's romantic.  Time for Celes to sing poetry! heart   "Take what you can, because the kisses don't last."  Remember those verses!  First couple where the girl is dark, and the dude is the light. Lulz.  Autumn's prettier with the leaf colors!  And every girl's "lost" without her hero, right ladies?  Follow him, and he turns into flowers! o:  "I'm moving on, but I'm also not!"  If you hear him, it means he comes back, and that means no more longing! =D  Aww...  Married to the enemy = ageless, guys. Remember that.  Edgar: Chancellor! Get off the stage and get back to work! scream  And so the dancing commences. No one steps on Celes's toes either.  Give her a round of applause! biggrin  Oh Fffff-, I knew I shoulda read this sooner after all!  And of course the Impresario isn't happy his show will be ruined too.  All these impossible things keep happening!  Draco may come for Maria, but who will save Celes from sabotage?  I doubt either of these singers can fight, as deep as their manly voices are.  And thankfully, your party gets together to stop Ultros's sabotage! It's sprint shoes time...  Since you have 5 minutes to foil his plans!  After navigating through the upper part and falling, everyone on stage is KO'd! Celes: Good, I don't wanna be "won!"  The Impresario said "What terrible acting!", and that's probably because Locke wasn't acting here.  And true to the stage drama, Ultros challenges our hero to the duel! Lights, music! Let us fight!  NEVER.  The jerk... teleports in front of random party members too. It's annoying!  No, not in the least! stressed  And then like last time, the coward runs away when he takes one too many hits to his squishy head.  Gasp! Who is here?  Impressed by her performance, someone mysterious appears!  It's Setzer, coming to take our Maria Celes away! Will Locke save her?  I hope he does, I shudder to think what Setzer has in mind! gonk  Thankfully, Celes has a rope to throw down so the others can climb the airship! It's time to make a deal with our gamblin' man.  The stalker will be here soon, trust me.  Celes: A General, not an opera floozy! D<  And of course, she cuts right to the chase. Gotta love her.  Edgar offers more money for Setzer to gamble with...  And Locke attempts buttering up, of course. The party tells their story...  And Setzer can only think of how rich he is.  Celes: Be a gentleman and think of others, sheesh! D<  Locke: Didn't you understand a word we just said in our "fade to black exposition?"  Edgar: You see, their "general" was a bit too happy with fire...  Dude, where have you been?  He's still making the moves on Celes! Dx  And he proposes to a girl he's just known for a day.   Locke: I want you to be mine! D:  And because she borrows Edgar's special coin, Celes wins! Ha.  Ha ha ha. Serves ya right.  Celes: Pwned.   And Setzer agrees to help! =D He's cool when he's not being a creeper.   At least he don't jinx it by saying "It will never crash! 8D"  Translation: "Time for more huffing on foot and random encounters, guys."  More Translation: I'm not playable yet, despite being named.  And so our ship goes off into the horizon, where spotlights emerge from the city of Vector, the Evil Empire of Math-based Photoshop graphics! 8D "In Soviet Vector, the Battles fight You." Next chapter... we go behind enemy lines, get more magicite and have a narrow escape!

Chapter 16: Storming the Storm TroopersAnd welcome back to Let's Play Final Fantasy VI! The last we left our ragtag bunch of heroes, they were headed off on Setzer's airship Blackjack to fight their way through some random encounters to get to the city of Vector, which is famous for its Photoshop graphics.  Make sure and equip Celes, because she couldn't bring weapons and armor to the Opera, lulz.  Our first city on our way there is Albrook, under Imperial occupation.  And since we're the La Resistence, we might as well steal the MP restores before the enemy uses 'em. heart  Take this tip and run with it when you get free reign of the airship. This gear can't be missed!  And apparently we have both rude and British Imperial soldiers. Edgar: "You're a git too! D<"  |||OTL The Imperials' inflation on everything makes it impossible to afford new gear.  What's worse is they went and looted the treasure chests!  But thankfully they didn't take everything. =D  With our looting the enemy well and done, we go north, and end up at Vector.  And here we have someone so enthusiastic about their kid getting magic, but... if they knew where it was from...!!!  Locke: We can't lose, we're in Sue's control! Edgar: And she likes us. heart  Edgar: I'm not the ugly brute, my brother is! Dx Sabin: I heard you all the way across the continent, bro! D<  -rolls eyes- Of course they're blocking the way.  Locke: You only heard that I'm a Treasure Hunter, right?  Oh yeah, because we all know that the old men in this game are experts at making distractions! Go for it, bud.  Oldest trick in the book.  And they fall for it. 8D  And we're clear! Let's go wreck some Magitek! heart  Here's our factory! Oh, the nightmares it creates... -shiver-  There are so many machines here that Edgar must be squeeing like the machine fanboy he is.  And of course, I'm squeeing over this gear! heart  Edgar: Weeeeee!!!!! Hook! rofl   Good LORD, you need these more than ever! Dx  And you get a nice weapon that's effective against the machines too? Awesome!  And we all know our engineer will tear those machines apart twice as fast!  Man, I'm jealous of all the treasures these Imperials hoard... so valuable!  ....!!!!! EDGAR, don't just stand there and let him do his creepy laugh, use your drill or something! D:  And our four's company still doesn't move even after he gives some ominous foreshadowing. Whatever the statues are, they can't be good if Kefka wants 'em.  He moves on to two Espers, shoving them down like the meanie he is. ;-;  We pursue and try and help...  But Ifrit has a hot temper! Prepare for a rough battle! The first time I fought this battle, I got KO'd. Bad. That's because Ifrit tag teams in Shiva, and the two of them can ruin you with that level 2 magic of theirs. Spam Runic as much as possible (make sure Celes equips a sword), and you should win against them.  Somewhere at the end of your fight, they say something like this.  Shortly after, the two become magicite. ;-; My two favorite traditional FF summons are dead, but their magic will be used for a good cause.  Ah, save point! Pitch that tent, baby, it's time to have a snooze and restore depleted HP/MP!  Before going forward, this guy stands in the way. Although he doesn't last long if you keep hitting him hard, he can deal some heavy blows.  And in this room, all these espers are in tanks! They still intend on helpin' us get magic though! =D  And because Edgar accidentally broke his precious machines, Cid comes in like "Yo, what do you think you're doing?!" D<"  Ha, we discovered that before you did.  All the Magicite gather, and they're ours! Hooray!  Celes: No way! They can't even march on step! All 3: We so can! Oooh, Cid, watch the exposition, man.  You'll make little love struck treasure hunters panicked.  Oh snap, Kefka enters the scene! Let me pound his face in again, please, pretty please with sugar on top?  No, no, don't do it! D: Those are supposed to belong to the playable characters, not the villains!  Locke: How can I when the exposition just said you were spy, and you're following Kefka's orders?! Dx  I knew she was too good of an actress when she performed in that opera!  Oh no, our heroes are knocked out and by the looks of it, in the red!  Celes, just what are you planning? D<  Celes: What I should have done. I'm going to neuter you. And then, they go offscreen.  Edgar: Come on, Locke, there are plenty of fish in the sea.  At least everyone wakes up, and Cid seems to be a little out of it.  Don't blame me, blame the bosses I had to fight! D<  "Over here, I have a one way escape route for you!"  And like any scientist that has created something unintentionally bad, Cid goes into Self Blame Mode with the phrase "My God, what have I done?"  I don't think your emperor will stop anything, sadly. He's a villain, yo.  And our save screen confirms it. Our quartet is a now a trio, when I was JUST having Celes learn Cure 2! D<   And of course Celes is "just following orders", and not being a real rotten person! She's Locke's love interest after all. stare  Aww, a father only has his best wishes for his little baby who breaks treasure hunters' hearts!  Great, that means whatever Celes did wasn't effective! Can I just clobber him and get this over with?  Instead of fighting though, we GTFO once more.  And since I'm impatient at this point, I start wrecking things with Gau's newly learned Fire 2 magic! =D  On the way out, guess who came to the rescue? Setzer's here! At least we can rely on someone! Edgar: She broke up with him, it was pretty brutal.  Well said, Captain! Let's get on that airship and fly on outta here!  Janitor: Clean it up yourself! D<  Whatever he's sending after us, it cannot be good.  And sure enough, I just had to be right! gonk  Bam, pincer attacked by these machines! These guys are tough too!  Oh no! Without potions or phoenix downs, Locke makes a last stand! Casting the Bolt 2 he learned between Vector and here (combined with his raeg after the breakup), he takes 1210 damage and OHKO's the sucker. heart  And with the bosses defeated, our new crew of four head off, free to roam the skies!  Do we really have to go back there, Locke? gonk ... For Terra's sake, we must. Next chapter: It's time to revisit Terra, and get her back in the party! Also, don't be stupid like me and skip Setzer's airship tutorial, or you'll be like me, flying around for hours screaming "How do you land this bird?! Dx"

Chapter 17: The Pop Star's DaughterAs much as I hate to do it, it's time to return to Zozo. Terra's waiting for us, and at least she won't trounce all over Locke's poor broken heart.  We bring the Espers to her, and Terra recalls that one of them is her dad! OMG! o:  Sit around the campfire, guys. It's time for a flashback again! =D  Open gates in the Esper world are serious business, but in the human world, it's no big deal. :B  And once again, since I'm a nice person, I'll take this girl along. (That and Maduin has the hots for her, oh baby. heart )  The other Espers say not to talk to her, so what do we, the players do? Talk to her! 8D  Yep, isn't he charming? <3  And he must have been very old to live around the time the Espers put up their huge Do Not Enter door.  Yeah, yeah, I've been preached enough about our vices. neutral  Holy crap, Maduin just saved certain singer?! Whoa...  Sureeeee, a "guide." On the birds and the bees, maybe.  And of course he pulls some smooth moves. ;D  "They don't like my music!"    And then... the two start flying with little sparklies! How romantiiiic. <3  Their two sparks combine...  Whoa! Not only is Terra half-esper, but she was created by her parents' sparks!  Timeskip! Lil' Terra's a toddler. o:  "Madonna, it better not be one of your evil exes! D<"  Nope, it looks like it's the Emperor and his cronies.  "Oh noes, the old man's gonna complain!"  And in the name of true imperialism, Gestahl orders the Espers captured. neutral  "Knock them out with our uncontrolled flatulence?" rofl  "Or that."  "Time to shut that door for good since the humans can't read our huge Do Not Enter sign."  "Go ahead, honey, I don't care about the others of my kind. lulz."   Psh, of course, blame the innocent. Jerk.  And since Maduin loves her so much, it's time to chase.  We knew this already. ;-;  Gee, Maduin, thanks a lot! D< You and Madonna's dramatic scene could have waited until you were away from the void sucking you guys into the human world.  And you all know Maduin still chases her, despite it all. :B  Not knowing who the emperor is and just how blatantly he emits Evil Auras, Madonna hands her child off to him. D:  Eee, I can hear his mad scientist chuckles already!  Back from the flashback, Terra has morphed back to herself! =D What's even better is that she's talking in full sentences.  And she seems pretty happy to know who she is too. :3  And right in the nick of time, Captain Silverhair gives us a cue to move on. Couldn't have been sooner or later, Setzer.  And now that she's back in action, Terra's ready to be our leading lady once again! 8D Once on the airship, you can do many things.   One of which is change members. You'll want to, since Terra and the others who didn't go on our Magitek Mashing Adventure will be needing levels.  Here's my new Ensemble, and since they're all level 16, they shall be called the Sixteens! 8D Yes, Cyan is finally a part of my crew, I missed Sabin, and Setzer's not bad because his weapon (cards) is good for back-row combat. Go exploring the ship, and you'll find something that you'll be needing, if you're like me and low on items.  ITEM SHOP!!!! I freaking <3 this guy right now. There's also a free refresher on board who restores your HP/MP at no cost.  Terra mans the controls! I hope she knows how to fly that airship as well as Setzer does! And since we've been away too long and the Returners are starting to get cabin fever, why not head back to Narshe? You could explore other cities too, but they can't advance the plot like Narshe does. Anyway, that's all for this chapter! In the next chapter... Airship exploring and maybe a stop at Narshe if I feel like story progression.
