Sorry for the convienience. Now lets get started! ^-^***

Introduction- It has been 1 year after Necron's destruction. Zidane and Garnet were not yet married but they were close friends.(dammit they are still young, 16? BUT SINCE IM THE AUTHOR...WHO KNOWS WHAT CRAZY AND ROMANTIC IDEAS I HAVE MUAHAHAHAH). Eiko now lived with King Cid of Lindlum and his beloved wife. Quina worked as a cook in Alexandria. Amarnant traveled throughout Gaia to become a better theif. Freya was now married to Sir Fratley and had a child named Annastasia. Vivi was busy looking after his kids and teaching them the rules of being a black mage. Steiner and Beatrix not only protected the queen and but their love for one another grew stronger. Everything was sweet until ...



Chapter I - the Awakening of the Ultimate Thief.

The Earth was shacking like crazy and the windows shattered throughout the Theatreboat. Zidane woke up in shock wondering what the hell is going on. As he stood up a couple of sharp glasses ripped through Zidane's clothes.Ughhh..... He was bleeding but was okay. He ran to nearest table and hid under there a minutes.what's happening? The shaking was long. It couldn't have been a monster which caused this, can it? He wondered. More glass flew across his bedroom and the shaking became more violent. At one point, the wooden floor started to crack open slowly. His eyes widened as the floor started to crack, because he knew if he fell, it was going to be quite a long way down. Crrraaacccckkk....!! His eyes even widened even more as the crack started to shear toward him. "Oh Shit...."

He slowy backed up to the wall under the table as the crack was coming closer and closer to him. He looked into the crack..."HOLY ....SHIT....."(a lllloooonnng way down). "No...i musn't leave Garnet yet." The crack was a meter away from him when he screamed "NOT YEETTT!!!!"

Everything stopped.

He was breathing heavily. Whew...that was a close call He slowly pushed the table that was on top of him and hucked it into the huge crack that was in front of him. Ten seconds later, he heard BOOOOOOMMMM! Ten seconds must have really been a long way down. His eyes slowly glanced the the broken table. His eyes widened because it was really really deep. He slowly thought of the others..."Chinna, Marcus, ..the Captain...." But first he had to change. He carefully went to the closet to take out his clothings. First he put on his brave suit. Took the circlet, Power Wrist, Ribbon and finally his Ultima Weapon Sword. He put the sword into he pellet just in case...

He slowly but surefully found his way to the door. As he opened it his eyes became paralyzed. The whole place was trashed. Glasses were everywhere, the floor was a little cracked. The wall was teared man im lucky. He slowly walked toward the chamber where Chinna, Marcus and Blanka were located. He carefully walked down the stairs and saw nothing. Marcus....Blanka....Chinna...He looked around and started to walk toward their rooms. As he opened the door his eyes became swollen in fear. IT CANT BE...!!He rushed in and saw both Marcus and Blanka bleeding externally. Blood were everywhere. His eyes became more widened in tears to see where Chinna was. His face was crushed and slit through the window and blood was dripping down. Fear and sorrow ran down the face of Zidane. NOOOO!!!!!!! He ran up to Marcus first. ARE YOU OKAY?!?!

he didnt respond.

Zidane checked his pulse, no luck. this cant be..he's dead!?! More tears came down and he ran to the other victims. ARE YOU OKAY BLANKA?!?!? Blanka was alive, barely. He turned his head toward Zidane. I...saw...(breathing for air)....ittttt....

Saw what? And dont die on me now!

He slowly turned his face the wall. Trying for the last breath of air to say what or who made this tragic accident. "I-I-Ittt...w-wass....(his time was fading and the last breath was gone)..O-Oz-zma.

NO! I TOLD YOU NOT TO DIE ON ME! He put his face upon Blanka's face. "No sniff don't leave.

He checked his pulse and didnt feel a thing. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

More tears came down his eyes when he ran up to Chinna.(he knew he was dead for sure, but he had to check)" Chinna? Are you okay?!?!" Not even a sight of movement. He shook his head. NO, they're all dead. His emotions was tearing down, from his eyes. All sniff of them...dead. AARRGGHH..!!! He griped his fist, and his blue eyes became infernos. His heart risen over the normal limit and his face was red like the burning of hell. His body was turning bright pink and a great surge of power rushed through his body. (Trance) I WILL GET YOU OZMAAAAA!!!!!! WHOEVER YOU ARE YOU DONT SCARE ME, I WILL FIND YOU AND DESTROY YOU LIKE YOU DESTROYED MY BEST FRIENDS. YOU HEAR ME!!! YOU HEAR ME!!!!!!! As his surge of power slowly decreased, his pain and suffering was still there. His eyes narrowed on the three bodies and slowly took the bodies one by one to the storage room. When he finished, he forgot all about the Captain. He forgot!, how could he? He rushed through the cracked floors and ran up the stairs. Carefully, he walked toward the door wishing that the leader of Tantalus was still in one good piece. He slowly turned the knob, please, don't .... he opened the door and looked in. He was bruised up and a little blood scorched through his shirt. " Are you okay sir?"

"YYea, im fine." You?

"I'm okay."

"How about the others?"

He looked down onto the floor. His eyes blinked slowly. And took a deep breath. "They past away during the incident...."

The captain nodded his head. Took a deep breath. Where are they now?

"I put them into the storage room."

"Are you sure they're all dead?"

"Yes sir."

He slowly got up and walked by Zidane. "Im sorry." If you need me ill be in the storage room. He slowly walked passed him and opened the door.

"Wait sir, i need to know some information relating Ozma."

The captain's eyes widened. "Ozma?"

"And i also want to see Garnet."

"We're parked in the heart of Alexandria, you could meet her anytime, didnt you know that?" said the captain.

"No sir. Okay now, tell me about Ozma."

His eyes widened again. The captain mumbled to himself. "Ozma, but how?" He..died a long time ago from what i knew."

"Well?"

The captain's eyes slowly turn towards Zidane. "I don't know much about him but i know somewhat of him that he is capable of."

"Capable of what?"

"Capable of destroying the whole world."

Zidane's eyes widened slightly. "Are you saying he is stronger than Necron?"

"Yes, he probrably is because Necron wasn't planning on destroying Gaia. He only wanted too take life of Gaia and replace it with the life of Terra. Ozma is capable of destroying the whole world. Maybe even the whole galaxy and universe. And i know Necron is not dead because if there was life and death, his existence would still remain one piece. But he can't be the one whose doing this." He replied.

"Do you know where he can be found?"

"No."

"I see."

"Enough talk. I'm going to see the tantalus crew. If you need me, ill be there in the storage room, okay?"

"Okay." Zidane replied.

Zidane walked toward the window looking at the stars of the night. "You're out there. Somewhere"

A whispered came back to Zidane's ear.

Yes i am.

Zidane's eyes widened. Who are you?

You will see soon..

I want to know now.

I will tell you once you find me.

Are you the one whose doing this?

Yes...

Are you Ozma?

No...i am much too superior for Ozma. You will see soon. But...

But what?

hahahaha, pathetic fool, i am warning you not to search for me and if you, death will be upon you.

You don't know us. We destroyed Necron and what makes you think that we cant destroy you.

Like i said you pathetic fool. I am much too superior for Ozma, and Ozma is far way superior than that pathetic Necron.

Why are you doing this!

Because it is my job. To eliminate all. After many centuries of sleeping, i have finally woken up. I will destroy the people who destroyed me a long time ago. But since it was a long time ago and those pathetic mortals have passed away, and now i am putting out my anger on you and you're worthless world.

What do you mean?

I was created to be the ultimate fighting machine. And i was destroyed by those worthless mortals. How could it be? Just as you destroyed Necron. I will not make the same mistake. I will not be destroyed again by that blond bitch....

A blond person?

Enough talk! This conversation is over. But i warned you, death is awaiting you if you search for me...fear not death but fear itself. Muahhaha...

Wait! I need to talk to you.

The next time we meet, you will have all the talk you want.

Wait!

(silence)

"Darn!"

He slowly turned around thinking to himself. The utlimate fighting machine? destroyed by a blonde? Stonger than both Necron and Ozma? An ancient superior monster? He scratched his head and started to think. "But who?" He stood there thinking for some moments. 'Maybe i should go ask the Captain." He walked toward the door, opened then closed it. He walked down the stairs until he reached the Storage room. Zidane opened the door and noticed that he was praying to the gods that they would rest in peace. He knocked on the door.

"Hey, can i see you for a minute."

The Captain looked stressed and frustrated. He turned around in a confused look. "What's up?"

He looked at the him. "I was just talking to the thing or person who started this incident."

He looked at him dumbfully. "What do you mean."

"When you left, a whisper came to me. It wasn't my conscience. It was something or somewhat. I dont know who he is but i must find out to avenge my friends."

"What did he say?"

"He said that he wasn't Ozma nor Necron, yet he said he was far superior than the both of them."

The Captain looked in shocked. "What else?"

He said that he had just awoken from his sleep, after the death of him. He also said that he was the ultimate fighting machine but yet destroyed by our kind.

The Captain was totally stunned. "Anything else."

"No..... Wait!, He told us not to look for him or our death will be upon us.

The captain started to look kind of nervous. "Let's go report this to the Queen."

"Okay" replied Zidane.

As they were walking down the stairs, they felt something was watching them. It sensed of kind of stranged. Zidane pulled out his sword wondering what could it be. He slowly moved foward pointing his Ultima Weapon sword in front of him. The captain took out his huge axe and also started to walk around with it. Zidane took a glance between the sides. Nothing. Whew As Zidane and the Captain walked toward the entrance, they felt something behind them. The same feeling. Zidane looked back in an quick instant and saw a Fang and Goblin. Both of the were running toward Zidane and the Captain. Zidane wasn't afraid of all. He smurked. This is going to be fun. He took his sword and slashed it through the incoming Fang dealing over 6000. The Fang dropped to the ground with blood gushing everywhere. The Goblin wasn't afraid of death, he took his dagger and tried slashing it at Zidane. But he missed. Zidane turned around and KAACCHIINNNNGGG, the noise of a sword sliting through something The Goblin fainted to the ground. (DEAD).

Whew "Luckily i have you with me Zidane. Thanks said the Captain."

"Dont mention it, lets get going."

They walked toward the entrance of Alexandria. Two guards asked who they were.

"We are tantalus." said the Captain.

The two guards stood there in shock. (The great Tantalus). "P-Please come in."

The second guard agreed with the first. "Yes, please come in."

"Thanks." said Zidane.

When they walked in, everything was different. After being greatly damaged by Bahamut a year ago, everything has been fixed and cleaned up. There was people everywhere. They started to walk some more amazed at the rebuilding that this city has gone through. The captain was amazed with the shopping district.

It was totally reorganized and new items were sold. For once, they were selling elixers, X-potions, turbo potions.

"Hey, Zidane?"asked the Captain.

"Yes?" replied Zidane.

"Im going window shopping and ill meet you at the castle okay?"

"Sure."

"Thanks, see you later."

"Wait, how much money do you have."

"$100gils."

Zidane gave him a smurk. "Here, take this." He slit in $10,000gils.

"HOLY SHIT, HOW DID YOU GET THIS MUCH MONEY!!!"asked a surprised Captain.

"When i was fighting very strong monsters, they carried money with them. Before fighting Necron, i saved up around $1,000,000 Gils.

His eyes widened three times the normal. "You're a millionaire, and i didnt even knew one shit about this?"

"Well, im not actully a millionaire. I shared all the money between 8 people; Garnet, Vivi, Steiner, Amarant, Eiko, Freya and Quina, including myself of course."

"Well still, to my calculations, that means you have $12500 gils."

"Yea around there. But since i gave you $10,100gils, i only have 11500gils left."

"Holy...Thanks bro."

"Eh, dont mention it."

"Do you want something?"

"Uh, not thanks."

"Thanks man" He started to run to each store finding what he could buy.

Zidane turned and smiled. As he was walking toward the entrance of the dock. He saw Vivi calling him from a far distance. "ZIDANE...ZIDANE...ZIDANE....ZIDANE...........zidane...zidane...."

He looked around again and saw he was coming. He gave out a big smile. "Vivi!"

breathing for air H-How..h-have y-you been?"

"Im fine, you?"

"With my $12500, of course im fine." said a smiling Vivi. (YOU CANT ACTUALLY SEE HIM SMILE BUT YOU COULD FEEL IT)

Zidane gave him a nice warm hug. "I missed you, buddy"

Vivi hugged back. "I missed you too and all of those journeys we went through."

"Maybe we will do some more." He smiled.

Vivi smiled back.

"How's you're kids?"

"Well, they all moved except for one of them. All of them went to Black Mage Village to live there."

"So, who's the guy who stayed back."

"Well, he's having trouble with his magic, so im personlly teaching him. The others were successful, but they still don't know how to pocess magic like Flare and Doomsday."

"Wow." said Zidane.

"How about you Vivi. Did the old black mage himself learn any new magic?"asked Zidane.

"Well yea. But i didnt mastered it yet. But at least i can do it."

"What magic is that?" asked Zidane.

"Well i actually mastered Tornado. But im having quite a time with Ultima." replied Vivi.

"D-Did y-yo j-just said ULTIMA?"

"Of course."

"Wow!" said Zidane.

"Yup."

"Glad you're on our side." Zidane laughed.

"Why wouldnt i be." Vivi laughed too.

"Oh yea, did you know that today is Garnet's Birthday?. You missed her last birthday because you were traveling right?"

"Yea i was."

"She misses you."

"I miss her too" Zidane looked sad because he didnt get be with her in quite sometime.

"She's turning 18 right?" Zidane asked curiously.

"Yea. You're 18 too right?"

"Yea."

"Why dont you buy her something."

"I don't know what to buy her, she already has everything."

"Everything except you," Vivi smurked.

Zidane eye's widened and started to smile. "Yea, you're right."

Vivi started to laugh. "Let's get her something."

"Okay, but you're coming too right?"

"Sure, ill join."

With their cash full of money, they walked toward some shops. They walked toward the accessory shop to see if there was something that was interest them. Vivi took a glance at that protect ring. "Why dont you buy that?" It looked pretty nice and expensive but who cares. It was for Garnet. (Zidane's girl wink wink). He went in too ask how much the ring was. The clerk took a glance at him. Then took a look at what he wearing. His eyes widened to see that he had the mythical Ultima Weapon Sword.

"Well, how much is it?" Zidane asked again.

The store clerk asked Zidane if that was an Ulitma Weapon sword.

"Yes, it is."

The Clerk's eyes started to widen. an ancient sword. "You must be very strong." said the nervous clerk.

"I wish!" he smiled. Zidane looked at Vivi. "This guy here is the stongest." he smiled.

"Why's that?" asked the curious clerk.

"He could pocess magic like Ultima."

The clerk's jaw fell to the ground. "D-Did y-you s-say U-Ultima?"

"If you dont believe me, then he will show you." He gave a smurk to the clerk.

Vivi started to smile.

"I-I believe you. H-He's a b-b-lack m-age right?"

"Yup." said Vivi.

The clerk looked at his wand. "I-Is that the Mace of Zeus that you are carrying?"

"Yes."said Vivi.

"How did you know?" asked Zidane.

"I should know, i am not only the great accessory seller, but im also the great weapon, armor and head(armor) seller. I know and studied about all of the weapons, armor...etc. But it is my first time seeing these stuff. Here's a deal. If you let me touch you're weapons, i will let you have one free thing anywhere in the store. Zidane's eyes widened. (and so did Vivi's).

Both of them said "Surre."

"Great it is a deal." said the Clerk.

He slowly touched the stainless sword, "Ultima weapon". "Whoa. So big but yet so light." He then gave the sword back to Zidane and started to touch Vivi's wand. "Whoa, it looks so ancient." He slowly gave it back to Vivi. "Okay, now here comes my part of the deal. What do you guys want?"

Zidane pointed at the protect ring. "I want this"

The clerk took it out and happily gave it to him. "This ring is the next best to a ribbon. Why didnt you get the ribbon? Because i already have one and so does Garnet, Vivi...etc.

"Oh." said the clerk. He wrapped it into a gift. "Here you go. Enjoy"

"Thanks." replied Zidane.

"Now, what can i get for you Black Mage?" asked the Clerk.

He pointed at Robes of the Lord.

The clerk asked him confusingly. "You're wearing the Robes of the Lord right now. How come do you want another one."

"Its for my son." he smiled.

"Oh really?" asked Zidane.

"Yup."

The clerk took it out and put it into the bag.

"How about Garnet?"Zidane asked.

"I'm getting her something else."

"What?" He asked.

Vivi started to walk around looking for something that she would like. "Hmmmm...."

"Hurry up." yawned Zidane.

"Just wait a sec." He quicken his pace to see what she would like.

"Ahhh, i want this."

The clerk walked toward the glassed seeled table. He pointed out. "This?"

Vivi smiled.

The clerk looked dumbfolded. "You sure you want this?"

"Yea!"

Zidane walked toward Vivi to see what's the hassle about. He walked toward the counter where the clerk pointed his finger too. "W-Whaa?" You want a candy bar?"

Vivi smiled. "Yup."

"But its a candy bar!"

"The best and most expensive kind. Didnt you know that she likes chocolate?"

"No."

"Well, there you go."

That would be $1000 gils. Vivi put his hand into his pocket and took out $10000. He fimbled to find a $1000 bill. "Here you go."

"Thanks" said the Clerk.

Both said bye.

"Bye" said the Clerk.

As the walked out of the store, they took a deep breath. Smiff Wow, what smell so good.

Vivi pointed at the new fancy looking restaurant. "Its probrably that new fancy restaraunt over there."

"Wow. Ok, lets get going to the Castle."He looked at his watch. "What time does the party start at?"

"12pm."

Zidane looked at his watch, and frozed. omg, its 2pm already?!?! " How come you didnt tell me earlier!"

"You didnt asked"

"Let's hurry." He grabbed Vivi's hand and ran toward the dock.
