“Now... I shall teach both Garnet and Yuna the true secrets of summoning. Will you be so kind as to fetch Yuna for me?”

"Teach them the true secrets?" Didymus asked. "If I may ask, what is there for them to learn? I suppose even if all they do is listen and come when called, there may be ways of focusing one's thoughts...but I find myself wondering..."

Central underground

“... You're Hilda. A Queen, and the leader of Wild Rose... I've seen your picture before on Amestris' wanted posters, usually hanging next to mine.”

Hilda had a slight grin of her own.

"Indeed. Both of us, hounded and pursued by the human weapons and the loyal pawns of this expansionist power...and both of us doing our parts to subdue them. What brings you here?"

Most grown men were fearful of Scar...And Melanie would have been too...If she knew who he was. Instead she raised a brow as he spouted strange mumbo jumbo crap about soul clenching.

"Yeah yeah yeah, time for you to back off you creeper!" Melanie exclaimed, flicking her wrist and unleashing a ball of shadows at Scar's FACE.

Smart move Melanie.

Central Underground

Crystal couldn't help but to frown just a tiny bit. This woman was a queen...And wanted. While that seemed a little bit oxymoronic she couldn't help but also be bothered by the fact that Sama was grinning at her.....

Aerith chuckled a bit and shook her head.

“It's not quite that simple... well, it is, and it isn't.”

Garnet was still SHOCKED to learn about her sister, and her true birthplace... but at the same time, she was vaguely aware of how important Aerith's words might be, so she slowly forced herself to return to the conversation.

“I don't understand...” Garnet admitted.

“It's not that tough. You see, the summons did make a contract with your elders to come when called, and to serve your family throughout the generations... but we're still talking about enormous powers. The stronger summons will not simply come unless you prove yourself to them...”

[Central Underground]

Sama shrugged.

“Eh, I've worked with Wild Rose before... I got involved with Rinoa's group on a few occasions. I'm not really a fan of Amestris after they destroyed my home and separated my people to the furthest corners of the continent. So anybody who causes them a headache is okay in my book.”

A bit vindictive, but it's not like Sama is the Avatar or somethi... oh wait, nevermind.

[Central City]

Scar was smashed in the face with some shadows, his hood flying off and his namesake scar being revealed for all to see. The man growled a deep, throaty growl and moved forward, reaching for Melanie's FACE!

“You shall be cleansed!”

Didymus was wary, and to be honest, questions of many kinds nagged, even tore at him.

He took a deep breath.

"Hmm..." he said, in response to Aerith's statements. "...I confess that I am still wary about all this...and I also confess, I think, and may He forgive me of it if it's sin...that I may even be a tad curious...Garnet has to "prove herself"? And if I were to go and get Yuna for you, I'm afraid I have one condition, and I know how this will sound: Lady Garnet has to come with. Paranoid as it is, the fact remains that I...well, taking my eyes off her can lead to bad things...I suppose I'm a bit paranoid about letting her out of my sight..."

He chuckled in spite of himself.

"I apologize, Lady Garnet, I know how overbearing that sounds."

"Indeed." Hilda said. "His services have been most valuable to us in the past. You need not frown, I am no enemy. Many of us have lost our homes, our peoples, our cultures...all to the white beast..." she paused.

"...still. This war that now wages provides us an opportunity. Galdwin's efforts are focused up in Alexandria, true, and rumors abound about that the princess went missing, then assasinated her mother, then disappeared again..."

She shook her head.

"...but the fact remains, Amestris' war with Galdwin is a golden opportunity for us. I've already spoken with Miss Caraway about a potential way to...influence...the new fuhrer...you may be interested. Otherwise, I'm simply touring the base here, but again, what brings you here?" she asked.

“Get away from Melanie!”

Galv held up his hands, electricity building in them, growing large and bright, sending out blasts of lightning at Scar as he charged at Melanie.

He was shaking, incredibly nervous, but Saraified or not, he wouldn't let anyone hurt Melanie...

-Central Underground-

“Anhk-Morpork use to have royalty, a very long time ago...” Spork mentioned, “There's rumors the true king of Anhk-Morpork returned though, and became a Watchman...”

-Madain Sari-

“It's a test,” Sora said, glancing to Didymus, “Like...does your order have initiations, or rites of passage to prove yourself?”

Garnet shook her head, taking a step towards Didymus.

“It's okay... this place, I believe it is safe. Please, do as she asks and go get... Yuna.”

Garnet quivered a bit, wondering what she would say to Yuna. The woman was apparently her sister... an idea she simply could not get used to.

[Central Underground]

Sama raised an eyebrow. He wasn't sure what Hilda was talking about, but he certainly was starting to get a bad vibe. Something about what she was saying...

“... Golden opportunity? I see...” Sama shook his head. “We're just here because we needed someplace safe to crash for the night.”

He had a bad feeling...

[Central Streets]

Scar was struck by lightning! He fell backwards, and his eyes widened.

“... You too utilize the black arts? Then you must also be destroyed!”

Scar shouted out, and slammed his hand onto the ground; causing it to explode beneath their feet!

“It's okay... this place, I believe it is safe. Please, do as she asks and go get... Yuna.”


Didymus paused.

“Like...does your order have initiations, or rites of passage to prove yourself?”

"Sort of...but the ordaining of a Paladin is often, if not always, decided on a case-by-case basis." he said. "There are obviously some traditions, but still...even if my suspicions and hesitations about this entire affair are misplaced, which they may be...I should hope that nothing dangerous should befall the lady. The fact remains that even without any summoning, she can play a vital role on the continent that must not be jeopardized any more than necessary..."

He sighed.

"...still, um, with Sora here, which I didn't actually notice...perhaps I don't need to leave...if he doesn't mind playing courier..." he hesitantly offered/suggested.

Central Underground

Hilda nodded.

"Very well. I cannot force you to get yourself involved in our affairs again...though, if I'm not mistake, they are quite entwined with your own anyway. Again, if you get interested later, you can talk to Miss Caraway, but yes, a golden opportunity. If Amestris loses this war...we may be able to realize our dreams of freedom."

Central Streets

Scar made a grab for Melanie's face and the girl stumbled back. Bold or not the girl didn't want to be grabbed by such a weirdo. Luckily Galv got in his way, creating an electric barrier of sorts for him to overcome if he wanted to 'cleanse' her.

"Get away from us!" she yelled, chanting under her breath. The wind around them picked up before it threw the man back with a massive gust.

She then grabbed Galv's arm "Come on!" she said, the two now running down the street.

Central Underground

Crystal stood behind Sama and Spork, Hammah near her legs. She eyed the other woman Hilda but stayed silent. There was nothing she really wanted to say to her.

She didn't like the feeling she was getting from her.

Sama wanted to just walk away... but the boy was in tune with a lot of things, and he knew to trust his instincts. He couldn't blindly walk away, even if he wanted too...

“Wait...”

He paused, stepping towards Hilda.

“What were you talking about before? The 'golden opportunity'?”

[Central Streets]

As Scar was thrown back by the winds, his eyes began to narrow at them both. He started charging, running against the wind as hard as he could. He WOULD destroy these vile mages!

[Madain Sari]

Aerith was starting to get a bit annoyed. She kept a pleasant look on her face, but she stepped forward.

“... I can foresee we're going to have a problem... I need to speak with both Garnet and Yuna, and when I do, it will have to be alone. If you can't even leave to fetch the other one, I'm assuming you'll object to leaving when I need to teach them of summoner's things...”

"...no, I can step outside of the room, I'm not quite THAT overbearing, it's just...again, summoner or no, she represents one of the best and least bloody chances for peace and prosperity on the continent simply by nature of who she is-again, with or without any summoning. And me...I have orders, I believe, that come from the Highest Himself, to guard her..."

He sighed.

"...so there. I, can at least step outside, perhaps I shall set out, but..."

He paused, and bowed his head for a moment, then, looking up again, spoke.

"...I'll step out, but...I'll try to be as swift as I can."

He turned, and made his way out.

Forgive me of it please, Father, if it be sin to leave her or to facilitate this...

He didn't have to run long.

"Hey! What are you doing? Where's Garnet?"

Didymus eyed Rikku, who had had seen just a bit away from the ruined tower.

"Garnet's back in the tower, and...could I ask you a favor?" He was curious as to why Rikku had come out this way, but decided to bring this up instead.

"Could you go get Yuna and...bring her back here?"

Rikku blinked.

"Uh, okay." she said, and turned to go back to camp, relieved that she hadn't been called out on trying to spy on them.

Didymus returned to the side of the tower and stood a watch, Rikku came back into camp.

"Hey Yunie...that guy in the robe asked me to come get you for some reason!"

Central Underground

“What were you talking about before? The 'golden opportunity'?”

"The "golden opportunity" I was the entire situation. Tragic as war is, we've been struggling in ours for years now. Suddenly, Amestris is at war with another major power...again, this is a chance for us to pitch in, and together with the Galdwinians, we may be able to finally overthrow Amestris and reclaim our freedom...but now of all times, we have an excellent opportunity even to those ends..."

She paused.

"...I was just informing Miss Caraway; the new furher is one of the human weapons they used during the Eastern Rebellion. Mustang. I believe you two have something of a history...? Or at least, you have a history with his right-hand woman...the same woman who's gone missing now. The same woman who we have reason to believe he is quite attached to, if for no other reason than he seems to care about his own subordinates, whatever his actions on the battlefield may be. If we could find her...well, as a bargaining chip or a gift of goodwill, or anything, our position with this new furher would be strengthened, we hope. Although I doubt the other Wild Rose leaders will favor the "gift of goodwill" approach, but it's what Miss Caraway has argued for, at least."

At first Melanie thought they were home free, running down the dim streets...But then she realized that Scar was still following them. Suddenly she was a bit more worried.

"Crap crap crap we need a place to hide!" Melanie exclaimed, stopping suddenly and slamming her palms against the wall of an old shop.She started to chant and suddenly the building's side crumbled, placing a large pile of rubble between the two teens and Scar.

Of course that wouldn't keep him from them for long....

Central Underground

Crystal frowned, leaning closer to Sama "Sounds dangerous" she said, watching Hilda wearily...

[Central Underground]

Sama listened as Hilda explained what the opportunity entailed. The boy knew Mustang, and he knew Mustang's subordinate.

Mustang may have gotten credit for the conquest of the Bending Valley, but it was Hawkeye who was the key to that battle. Sama's Avatar State could have flattened the army... but when Hawkeye's bullet pierced his chest, she stopped him, and insured that Amestris could destroy the boy's home.

She was the reason he was a failure... all the guilt he'd ever felt for what happened to his people, it was because of Hawkeye.

“... A bargaining chip? Lady, I don't care if you are a queen, that's sick. Holding hostages is for cowards and wimps. I'd have hoped someone of your reputation would be neither... maybe I'm wrong.”

Sama was being cold – and unusually bold, but he felt strongly about this.

“... I'd be willing to go with a 'goodwill gift' idea, but there's no way I'm helping you take hostages... in fact, I'll stop you.”

[Madain Sari]

Yuna seemed confused, but nodded to Rikku. “Okay... lead the way.”

[…]

Once Yuna had arrived, Aerith took both summoners into another room and shut the door behind her. A strange rune appeared over the door, locking it from the others.

As they waited, Zidane put his arms behind his head.

“What do you suppose is going on in there...?”

[Central Streets]

Scar blasted at the rubble with his arm, giving chase on Galv and Melanie!

-Central Streets-

Galv continued running with Melanie, frightened and confused. He sparked slightly, but just kept moving...

“Halt, evil doer!”

A very tall dwarf man stood in the darkness, being illuminated by the moon, pulling out a simple sword, staring down at Scar as he chased after the two children.

“I can not allow you to injure these children,” the man said, stepping forward, revealing red hair, and a very honest face. He was a tall man, over six feet tall, with very broad shoulders. His sword was also quite sharp.

Captain Carrot, of Ankh-Morpork City Watch. He was in Central under Veterni's orders, remember?

“Please, stand down, or I will have to hurt you,” Carrot told Scar.

Elsewhere, on the rooftops, a furry figure sighed, keeping an eye and nose on the situation.

Sergeant Angua knew Carrot wouldn't be able to stop himself from helping children...

-Central Underground-

Spork frowned. The idea of being able to have leverage over a leader was...alien, to him. Several people had, of course, attempted to take over the Patrician's Office before, in Ankh-Morpork. Now of them ended well. Once, Veterni had been turned into a salamander by a young wizard, but that was fixed not too long after wards.

“What do you suppose is going on in there...?”


Didymus was looking...troubled. Deeply so.

"I don't know...but I was not sure about it...I hope and pray nothing...unsavory...but..."

He took a deep breath.

"...I wasn't sure about it; which means, I think, I shouldn't have aided it...or I don't know. Maybe I didn't think it was bad, so I..."

He leaned on a wall, and hung his head, arms crossed.

"...Lord forgive me, I feel like I've breached, or at least may have breached...His commands on these regards..."

He glanced at Excalibur, still sheathed at his waist.

And yet, this is here...I...even if I did do wrong, forgiveness is a core teaching of our faith, isn't it?

He nodded, and kept his head bowed for a moment more, quiet, before looking up again, apparently comforted but still a tad edgy...

"Inside, that woman...said some pretty crazy stuff...she, among other things, said that Garnet and Yuna were sisters, may have implied that they were born on the same day, and that the summoners were humans with whom the summons, powerful and mysterious creatures that they are, simply agreed to serve on being freed from a group of mages who enslaved them...I don't know if everything she said is right, but...I don't think she meant them harm..."

He paused.

"...she mentioned something about "proving themselves" to the more powerful summons..."


Central Underground



“... A bargaining chip? Lady, I don't care if you are a queen, that's sick. Holding hostages is for cowards and wimps. I'd have hoped someone of your reputation would be neither... maybe I'm wrong.”

... I'd be willing to go with a 'goodwill gift' idea, but there's no way I'm helping you take hostages... in fact, I'll stop you.”


Hilda sighed deeply, and her guards tensed up, at which point she held up a hand, and they relaxed.

"You misunderstand me, I think. I was not suggesting we actually harm her-that would be merely a bluff, if we even said it. But are you against taking a prisoner of war, avatar? And, if not, what is the matter with simply offering their release in exchange for the possiblity of freedom for our lands? Consider your own people, scattered, living in regulated districts and being shuffled about on Amestris' orders-if you could remedy that by taking one prisoner and then releasing her-would you?"

She paused.

"Make no mistake, that may not be my decision, and my word on this matter, though it carries considerable weight, may not be final in and of itself. Wild Rose has many petals and thorns, and I must present this course of action to our council and seek counsel from them."

She turned.

"Fare you well, avatar. I wish it could be on better terms that I part with you. If you decide that this mission is worthy of your attentions after all, the fuhrer's aide was last seen in the district of downtown Central City..."

Scar paused, as suddenly a strange man stepped out, holding a sword. Scar did not seem too intimidated, but he had a feeling this person would be a annoyance.

“... Stand down? I cannot. These children pervert the world with their magic... I must cleanse them... if you stand in my way, I shall cleanse you as well...”

[Central Underground]

Sama shook his head, stepping forward.

“Don't lecture me of my own people! I know the horrors of what Amestris has done better than anyone... and I'd do just about anything to change things... but what you're talking about isn't going to fix anything! So what if you take a hostage and offer her release in exchange for your lands back? You really think that will work?”

Sama shook his head. “Even IF Mustang agrees... as soon as you release her, he has no reason not to simply attack you again! Which means either you have to keep her as a hostage forever – at which point, sometime, he will attack... or you STILL have to fight a war, which doesn't help us END the war! Your plan will only make it harder to find a diplomatic solutions... there will be no negotiation if you make matters worse!”

[Madain Sari]

Zidane raised an eyebrow, but remained quiet.

“... So... you want to sneak in and find out what's going on?”
