Battle Square:
Noticing what Jica had just cast, Gabranth decided this was the time to use a little something he had been saving up: a bomb fragment
. Tossing it from behind the ship, the artificial monster never saw it coming. It exploded with a burst of flames, that- thanks to the magic oil- quickly enveloped it. The "creature" screamed and tumbled in the air but was helpless to snuff the fire consuming it, and soon crashed to the ground, now a pile of burnt wood and metal.
(victory theme rings again) "That's TWO monsters down!!" Dio shouted, and the audience roared. " Six to go!"
Chocobo Square:
-"That IS a most unfair situation" Edgar said to Mog. "I wish I could help, but I'm not an expert on Triple Triad. However", he said, smiling to Samira, "I think I know what we can do..."
The Prison:
The group reached the elevators but were not let in. "You have to wait for Mog to get back for you" Mr. Coates said. (Cid has already gone up, as he already had permission to come and leave.)

"Nice one!" Jica called to Gabranth. He was actually using the oil to, hopefully, distract the ship, but burning it was a better option.
Hey! Read my fanfic: HereEdgar and Samira accompanied Mog as he went down to the prison to get his friends.
-"Ok, this is the plan" he explained, as they rode the elevator. "We'll challenge your master for your freedom in a Triple Triad card came. However, rather than any one of us playing, we'll get an- associate of mine to play for us. Someone who, believe me, is VERY good at this game. With a little luck, you'll soon be free."
The elevator stopped and its doors opened. Paxton and the rest were waiting right outside.
But before anybody could say anything, everybody immediately noticed the rather incredible resemblance between Edgar and a certain member of the team:
-"...SABIN?" the handsome nobleman said in sheer disbelief.

-"I was *urk* about to ask you the same thing! What are you doing hanging with this rough-looking bunch (and -oof- let me down already!)"
Paxton suddenly grew suspicious. *Identical brothers, one who is named Sabin and is all muscular, the other a noble-looking man? Could these two be... The Princes of Figaro?* He thought to himself, but didn't voice his suspicions yet.
((Note: any of the characters is free to sum up the situation now. Remember that Sabin's group doesn't know what happened to Gabranth's after they got separated, and vice versa.))
Battle Square:
-*rattle rattle rattle* "And now the handicap is... immobilization!"
Suddenly, Gabranth, Jica and Minwu felt as if their feet had been glued to the ground!
-*Oh no!* The Judge realized. *Now all three of us are sitting targets!*
-"And the next monsters is..." Dio continued. "What is this? Ladies and gentlemen, there's not one, not two, but THREE creatures coming out together! And- quite honestly, I don't know what they are! They are unknown
to me- and to science in general! They were captured on the farthest reaches of the world! Can our heroes figure out how to beat them?"
Each of the logic-defying creatures headed for a different challenger...

Jica looked down, and shrugged. Guess he needed a new plan. "Protect!" He tried to get the spell on himself, and to Minwu, but he wasn't sure if he'd get the second spell off in time. "Protect!"
Hey! Read my fanfic: Here"Yes, you're always getting yourself into- wait, another dimension??" Edgar blinked. "Look, we will talk more about this later, OK?" Then he addressed the rest: "I'm Edgar Rene, and this is Miss Samira. We are here to set you people free."
Mog showed off his shiny new medal. Mr. Coates nodded. "Yeah, I saw it on TV. Congratulations, short stuff. You can all go." He nodded to the elevator's guards, and they stepped aside to let everyone in. Soon they were all on their way up.
-"By the way Mister- Gilgamesh, was it?" Edgar asked politely. "I understand that you 'own' this Moogle? Would you be interested in betting him- over a friendly game of Triple Triad?"
Battle Square:
The three unknowns were all different in appearance. The one that looked (vaguely) like a bipedal lizard approached Gabranth and took a bite at him- luckily Minwu's spell hit him in time and set him free, giving him a chance to dodge. The other two champions were still rooted to their spots, however.
The second unknown, which resembled a sort of flower made of flesh
, crawled to Jica and hit him with its thorns, but the protect spell he had cast on himself minimized the harm. Unfortunately his second spell didn't reach Minwu until after the third unknown, which resembled a monstrous kite
, had given him a powerful slap.

Gilgameshs eyes turned very sinister as he heard this "Indeed and what shall be the stakes on your side? My moogle has been most useful to me so it should be something you would truly miss..."
" I did the right thing, didn't I? It all worked out in the end." "In the end? Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends."Edgar thought for a moment. "...Well, I didn't want to make this public around here, but I happen to be the current ruler of the Kingdom of Figaro" he beamed. The others looked at him in disbelief, but Paxton nodded: "So, you ARE Rene Figaro.I thought you two looked Familiar. I've read much about you, Sir."
-"Why thank you, you honor. You can then reassure your multi-armed companion that I do possess plenty of riches I could offer- money, services, weapons..."
"I want your entire kingdom," said Gilgamesh with a seriously greedy tone.
"Call off the bet sir Edgar! its not worth it!" shouted Mog
"Too late now do you accept or are you a coward..."
" I did the right thing, didn't I? It all worked out in the end." "In the end? Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends.""It's on I'll be there...I'm off to scam some people in the gold saucer...moogle you can stay with the soon to be former king...ha!" and with that Gilgamesh was gone.
"Why? why do that for a lowly Moogle like me?"
" I did the right thing, didn't I? It all worked out in the end." "In the end? Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends.""Minwu! Start healing or something!" Jica advised, swinging his racket wildly to try and ward off the flesh flower.
Hey! Read my fanfic: HereAuron used this opportunity to shake off Gilgamesh and look for his employer. Being a warrior, he desided to start with battle arena.
DO NOT PURSUE LU BU

Minwu spread a weak cure spell over the three of them to help counteract the drain.
Oil? But none of us can use fire... Well, he knows what he's doing.
It's a plot! ...Quite a well written one too.
