The Life of Erin Tribal Chapter 29

~~

A/N: Woohoo! Another five page chapter! Anyways, I'm trying to get this story moving, that's why I'm putting so much action into each chapter (I hope anyways). If it's not action, than it's just a lot of storyline.

~~

Disclaimer (Decided to put it in again): Square owns everything Final Fantasy, and I own Erin, Harry, and Relm.

"I have a feeling that this place is going to be guarded," Celes whispered to the group.

The group headed to the back of the town to try and get into the palace.

"Looks like I was right. Oh no, they've got the Guardian out..." Celes whispered, pointing to a monster from their hiding spot.

"Let's try and get to the factory then," Erin whispered.

They started back out of town and headed towards the entrance to the factory. They spotted some guards there.

"Hey you! Yeah all of you!" they heard someone whisper to them.

"What?" Celes asked the man who was hidden behind some crates.

"Are you trying to get into the Magitek Factory?" he asked.

"Yeah," Erin replied.

"Follow me," he said, pushing a crate away and headed down a secret passage.

The first to follow him were Erin and Harry; followed by Celes, Locke, Sabin, and Cyan in that order. They soon found the entrance, and thanked the man.

"This is going to be difficult to navigate, but I think we'll manage," Celes explained.

"I hate machines!" Cyan stated.

Erin giggled slightly as Cyan said that, just as they stepped onto a conveyer belt that lead them downstairs. Next, they headed through a pipe that lead them to another part of the room. Next, they headed up another conveyer belt and they saw the one person they didn't want to see... Kefka.

He seemed to be talking to himself and didn't notice the group. He left a few minutes later. The group stepped out of their hiding place and they saw some Espers follow the same path that Kefka had taken.

"Hey, isn't that Ifrit and Shiva?" Erin asked the group.

"Yeah, it sure looks like it," Celes replied, "Let's go after them."

The group followed the path Ifrit and Shiva had taken, and found them standing there in one spot. They walked up to them, and Ifrit turned around and attacked.

Erin was the first to attack with an Ice spell she had, which was followed up by Celes also using Ice. The rest of the group attacked, and they quickly weakened Ifrit.

"My turn," they heard an ice cold voice say.

The group attacked, with Locke using Fire. They quickly weakened the ice esper, and were about to finish the two off when they spoke.

"You have Ramuh? That guy actually trusted you? Very well we will turn ourselves into Magicite and help you as well," said the ice-cold voice of Shiva.

They watched as the two espers turned themselves into magicite and joined the party.

"Let's go!" Celes said, walking through the door Shiva had been guarding.

They followed her into the room, and continued to follow her through the room. They tried to go through the next room, but were stopped by Celes, who had been stopped by a monster.

"They call this monster `024'. I don't know why, but it looks like we can't escape without fighting it," Celes quickly explained, drawing her sword yet again.

The group started a battle with the monster, and quickly defeated it with the help of Sabin's Blitz skill.

The group ran past the defeated enemy and through the next room. They stopped abruptly when Celes spotted Kefka again.

"Uwahahahaha, so, General Celes lives. Return with us, you don't belong with them. You are one of us, you will never belong," Kefka explained.

Celes just glared at him, and he glared back, but only for a second. "So, Erin lives. You sho..." Kefka started.

"SHUT UP! I am NOT taking orders from you!" Erin yelled.

They watched as Celes slowly walked over to Kefka, and the two disappear.

"NO!!!" Erin yelled, falling to her knees.

"Erin! Come on! We have got to go!" Locke said, trying to pull Erin.

"Fine, I'm coming..." she mumbled, getting back up, and following the group onto a rail cart that was sitting there.

Locke pushed a button near the rail cart, and it started up. The trip lasted several minutes, before a monster attacked them.

"Erin! Do you know what this is?" Locke asked the girl.

"No, I don't," she replied softly, drawing her sword. "I'll act as medic for the team."

"Thank you!" Locke stated, just as he attacked the monster with one of his daggers.

"Fire Dance!" Sabin shouted.

Many versions of a red Sabin appeared and attacked the monster with flames. The flames quickly disappeared.

The monster made the next move, attacking Erin. She whimpered from the attack, and quickly healed herself.

"You okay?" she heard Harry ask, as she saw some cards flying at the monster.

"Yeah, get rid of this thing! His attacks hurt!" she yelled to the group, who was now spread out across the cart.

"Retort," Cyan simply stated.

He ran up and attacked the monster.

The fight lasted at least another half hour, before Erin finally went up and delivered a finishing blow. She quickly healed the group as they saw a light at the end of the tunnel.

"Come on you guys! This way!" they heard a voice yell.

They looked up and saw Setzer running after them. They jumped off and followed him out.

"Where's Celes?" Edgar asked.

"Kefka took her," Erin cried.

"Edgar, don't mention Celes. It'll just make Erin even more upset," Locke whispered to Edgar as they ran.

"Come on! The airship is fixed and ready to get us out of here!" Setzer yelled at them from in front of the group.

He ran onto the airship and patiently waited for the rest of them to catch up with him.

The group quickly caught up with him and he took off.

"OH NO! Kefka's sending some crane's after us!" Erin yelled, pointing to some cranes that were quickly catching up with the airship.

"Harry! Take the wheel! I'm helping out in this fight!" Setzer yelled at the younger boy.

"Fine by me!" Harry yelled back running up to the wheel to find the stool already in place for him.

`Let's get rid of these things!" Edgar stated as the cranes finally caught up with them.

"I'll heal!" Erin shouted as the group started to attack.

"Very well, my lady!" Edgar said.

`How can he use his stupid `my lady' in the thick of battle! I'll never understand men,' she thought as she healed Setzer.

They quickly got rid of the first crane, and they started to attack the other one. They again quickly got rid of it and they escape Vector soon after.

`Mom... why?' Erin thought as she watched the city quickly disappear in the distance. `And my journal's still in there! Great! Now I just have to pray that we go back there eventually.'

"So, now where?" Harry asked from he wheel.

"Any suggestions?" Setzer asked.

Erin walked over to Locke and started tugging on his shirt.

"What is it Erin?" he asked, leaning down to the girl's height.

"Shouldn't we go check up on Terra?" Erin asked, her mind wandering to her friend that was still in Zozo.

"Very well," Locke replied, standing up to his whole five foot nine height. "Setzer, Harry, Erin has a suggestion for somewhere to go."

Everyone turned to look at her. "Why don't we go to Zozo? We have a friend there, and we need to talk with her," Erin suggested to the group.

"Alright then, Zozo it is. Harry, let me drive for a bit. We should arrive tomorrow morning. Why don't all of you go get some rest?" Setzer asked the group.

"We'll do that. Good night Setzer," Sabin replied. "Don't fly us into a mountain or anything!"

Setzer glared at Sabin, and Sabin's small attempt at a joke got a laugh out of everyone but Setzer.
