FINAL FANTASY IV IN A (very large) NUTSHELL
by Rydia Highwind



Part Four: Cid's Secret Past

Golbez: Well, this is just great. Seems Kainazzo was as stupid and worthless as Milon.

Rubicant: C'mon, boss, what were you expecting from us?

Golbez: Good point. You are just a bunch of elemental rejects, aren't you.

Rubicant: ...Not exactly what I meant, but hey. You do have a point.

Golbez: That's what I have Kain here for!

Kain: Just a minute! I gotta kill King Bowser!

Rubicant: Oh, yeah. Kain's so much better than the rest of us.

Kain: Argh! He killed me again!

Rubicant: Kain? How long have you been playing this non-stop?

Kain: I dunno, about two weeks?

Rubicant: And what level are you on?

Kain: World 1-4!

Rubicant: ...Which means you're still on the first world?

Kain: Yeah. Why?

Rubicant: Yep, it's official now. That was a very not-nice thing to say, Golbez.

Golbez: Hey, I'm a not-nice person.

Rubicant: Does that make it okay for you to say not-nice things?

Golbez: Yes.

Rubicant: Oh.

Kain: Damn! He killed me again!

Golbez: You idiot, give me that.

Kain: ...You killed him on the first try!!

Golbez: Now, you have to go tell Cecil that if he gets us the last crystal, we'll give him Rosa.

Kain: ...We're going to give him Rosa?

Golbez: Of course not. We're bad guys, so we're going to kill her.

Kain: Then why am I telling Cecil that we'll give him her?

Golbez: Because we're bad guys!!

Kain: Ohoho! Now you're talking!


MEANWHILE


Tellah: Okay, now that that dude is dead, what shall we do?

Yang: We were going to find that guy with the flying boat.

Palom: ...Cecil, what ARE you doing?

Cecil: ....

Porom: That's just not right.

Cecil: ....Hehehe.

Palom: Ye gods, I'm going to be ill.

Tellah: Come now, good Paladin, children should not have to see that. Hell, none of us should. Let's go find the flying boat guy.

Cid: MUST KILL MUST KILL MUST KILL!

Cecil: Oh, look. There he is now.

Cid: MUST KILL MUST KI--oh! Hey, Cecil.

Cecil: We need your flying boat thing.

Cid: Follow me!

Yang: Wait a second--we have six members on our team now. We can't have that many. Someone has to die now.

Cecil: Ooh! Ooh! Me! Me!

Tellah: No, Cecil, you are the main character. You can't die, no matter how much we want you to.

Cecil: Aww, you side characters have all the fun!

Cid: Hey, look! Here's our chance to get rid of someone, the walls are moving in!

Yang: Kill the old geyser!

Tellah: Kill the flying boat guy!

Cid: Kill the karate monk!

Cecil: Kill me!

Palom: I knew it would come to this...

Porom: It's our own fault for being so incredibly cute, you know.

Palom: And my vulgarity is just so damn lovable, you know.

Porom: Ah, but we seem to be the dub characters, and in English, you weren't that vulgar.

Palom: $^@$&@$^@!!!

Porom: Okay, fine. Let's just turn ourselves to stone and get it over with.

Palom: Right!

Tellah: Hey, I have to wait till I cast Meteo to die! You can't kill me now!

Yang: Look, the kids are stone. Being stone, they can't move, so I guess they stay here and no one had to die. Yay!

Cecil: Bah. You all suck. Hey, what's this big hole in the wall here?

Cid: It's the secret passage to my flying boat that my trekkie daughter named.

Cecil: Wow! That's so secret!

Tellah: You have a daughter? You mean, someone actually married you?

Cid: Nah, back before the sex change, I just visited a sperm bank. I was Cindy back then....

Tellah: ...I didn't want to know that.

Yang: Nor did I.

Cecil: Whee! The flying boat thingy...flies!!

Tellah: Hey, look. They're on to us!

Cecil: Dude! It's Kain!

Kain: Dude! It's me!

Cid: Dude! Where's my airship?

Tellah: Dude! You're standing on it!

Yang: Dude! I like cheese!

Kain: Anyway, I'm here to tell you...

Cecil: ...Yes?

Kain: ...I forgot.

Cecil: ...Oh. Poo. You weren't thinking about giving us Rosa back, were you?

Kain: Oh YEAH! Yeah, we'll give you Rosa back.

Cecil: Really?

Kain: Wait...that wasn't it...you had to do something....

Tellah: Maybe...like a hand-job or something?

Kain: From you? Hell, no!

Cecil: Ooh! I'll take one!

Yang: Cecil, do you even know what a hand-job is?

Cecil: ...I thought it was something like a lube-job. Like...for a car?

Yang: ...

Cecil: What?

Kain: That's right, you have to get us the last crystal.

Cecil: Huh? What crystal?

Kain: ...God, I don't remember you being this dumb. You need a good fucking and soon, man.

Tellah: I think he needs more than that...

Cecil: Well, if you give me back Rosa, I'll get one! Or five! Or...

Cid: Oh hell, you're even making me sick, Cecil.

Kain: Anyway, I'm leaving now. Super Mario Bros. is calling my name. See ya!

Cecil: Okay. So where is this crystal thing-a-ma-bob?

Yang: In a place called Toroia.

Cecil: Okay, let's go! Can I sing a flying boat thing song?

Tellah, Yang, and Cid: NO!!

Cecil: Aww...come on...

Cid: Oh, LOOK. We're in Toroia now. NO TIME TO SING. Darn!!

Yang: We're not in...

Tellah: Shhh!!

Yang: Oh! Yeah, we are in Toroia! Really!

Cecil: ...I'm sad. I want to sing.

Tellah: Wait until AFTER I cast Meteo on big brother before you start.

Cecil: Well...all right.

Cid: What happens when you cast Meteo?

Tellah: I die.

Yang: Wait...we aren't supposed to know what happens, are we?

Tellah: Bah, who cares? At least I can live a fulfilling life up until my death.

Cid: And without Cecil singing, you lucky ass.

Cecil: ...What's wrong with my singing? And why haven't we landed yet, if we're in Toroia?


Ahahaha...Er...Blee. I need to write this more often, its way too fun. R&R, if you dare. God, why are you still reading this?? *LOL*
