"There we go, that's better," Alex said as he walked out of the armor shop. "Bought a Rapier and Chain Mail, and sold my old stuff, so we're down to 11 gil. Now we..." He stopped mid-sentence, for standing in front of him was Barret, aiming his gun at Megaman. "Whoa... That's Megaman. Don't worry, he's a friend. Okay, Barret? Don't shoot him." He sounded quite nervous.

"Mega...man? Alright, you seem knowledgeable, whats going on. I'll lower my gun so you don't start being a wimp during your explanation. Which you will start now." Barret said. "I jsut want to know, where am I, how do I get back to Cloud and Tifa, and who are you guys?

If this Barret tries anything funny he'll lose that arm.

Garet started without hesitation,"We seem to be in the town of Cornelia. My friend with the rapier is Alex, the other one with the sword is Link, the strange blue armored one is Megaman, and I would be Garet. No one knows how we got here, nor how to get out."

He shuffled through his pack and pulled out his clerics ring. He shined it with his shirt and looked up at Barret. "We could sure use some more help here. By any chance would you have a currency called Gil? We need some more supplies before we leave."

Link looked at Alex. "You still haven't answered me about that. And what does that box of yours do?"

"How much gil? Well lets see...Cloud had most of it, but I did have my secret stash. Ah! Here we go, 300 gil, not too bad if you want to buy a couple of things." Barret said.

*sigh* "I guess I'll travel with you for now. Lead the way to wherever we are going."

"This? Normally it lets me play games, but now it seems to be a reference tool of some sort. And as soon as I figure out what's going on and why we're here, you'll be the first to know. Now let me see..." Alex walked over to a woman standing by the two magic shops. "Excuse me, ma'am..."
Her reply was swift: "Please save the princess!"
Returning to the odd group of heroes, Alex said, "I think I just found something. In the first Final Fantasy game, four Warriors of Light appear and rescue Princess Sara from Garland, who resides in the Chaos Shrine to the north. However, it seems that this has not happened yet. I vote we talk to the King of Cornelia to get more information."

Link sighed. "Seems I'll just have to keep moving with you to figure out how this goes... oh well. I'm in."

"Yes, I agree with Alex here. Maybe we'll find out whats going on around here. Alex, you should be able to tell whats going to go on next. I wonder why all the people say the same thing over and over?" He walked over to a guard now in front of the entrance, "Excuse me sir, could you please bring us to the King?"

"I could have sworn that woman just said save the princess. So how come you assume she isn't kidnapped?" Megaman says to Alex as they walk towards the castle.

Link shrugged. "Well, he said he knew how this goes. Maybe he has played with those guys before."
