"Hurry up! " Zell yelled
" Hey! Slow down! " Jaden shouted " We're not trained soldiers "
" We have to get pass that mountains before sunset or we'll be in very big trouble " Zell said as he pointed to some huge mountains
" What sort of trouble? " Syrus asked
" More enemies " Irvine answered " Probably stronger ones than those two before "
" I'm sure we can handle them " Chazz said
" No, you don't understand " Zell replied
" What do I not understand? " Chazz asked
" Their duel energy increases when there is no sun " Zell answered
" So what you mean is they become much stronger in darkness? " Jaden asked to confirm
" Yes, that's right " Irvine answered
" Quiet! " Zell suddenly yelled " Do you hear that? "
" Hear what? " Syrus asked
" Footsteps " Zell answered while he drop to the ground to listen more carefully
" I hear that too " Axel said
" We should hurry " Irvine said
" You take them past the mountains, I'll check it out " Zell replied
" Let me go with you " Jaden said
" No, you have to head back to our kingdom " Zell said
" But you won't hold them off " Jaden replied
" Who said I'm going to duel anyone? " Zell asked " I'm just checking out "
" You sure? " Jaden questioned
" Yeah, go ahead " Zell said " I'll catch up with you later "
" Alright " Jaden said then ran to catch up with the others
" I'm sorry Jaden " Zell whispered to himself " I have to stall some time for you guys to reach the kingdom safely "
After an hour,
" I'm tired " Syrus said exhaustedly
" Yeah, me too " Blair said as she collapsed and lied down on the ground
" We better look for some place to hide and rest " Irvine said
" Will that cave be a good place to hide? " Alexis asked as she point to a cave
" I'll go check what's inside " Irvine answered
After a short moment,
" Looks like there's nothing in here " Irvine said " We should hide inside for a while "
Everyone went inside the cave.
Meanwhile with Zell,
" No way! It can't be! " Zell thought to himself when he saw 1000 soldiers of Sephiroth's marching towards Jaden's gang " Jaden and the king need to be warned "
Back with Jaden and his gang,
" Don't you guys think Zell took too long? " Zane asked
" Yeah, its been quite some time " Jim continued
" We have to go now, no time to waste! " Zell suddenly dashed into the cave and shouted
" Why? What's going on? " Jaden asked
" Quick, there's no time to explain " Zell answered " Run straight down this alley as fast as you can and don't look back "
" What do you plan to do? " Irvine asked Zell after everyone ran away
" We have to hold them off for Jaden and the others " Zell answered
" Hold off who? " Irvine asked
" 1000 Sephiroth's soldiers Zell answered
" What?! " Irvine screamed " We can't hold off that many no matter how weak they are "
" We have to do it " Zell said " Jaden might be the one who saves our kingdom "
Meanwhile with Jaden and the others who were running for their lives towards the mountains,
" Do you think they'll be ok? " Jesse asked
" I'm not sure but I rather not think about it " Axel answered
" Why is that mate? " Jim asked
" I can feel them " Axel answered " All of them "
" Look! We're almost there " Syrus shouted
" I'm going back to help Zell and Irvine " Jaden said
" I'm going with you " Alexis said
" No! You have to stay with them " Jaden replied
" You're not stopping us from going too Jaden " Aster said
" Me too " Jesse said
" Count me in too mate " Jim said
" I'm going too " Axel said
" Oh alright " Jaden replied " Syrus, Zane, Jesse, Blair, Chazz, Hassleberry and Bastion will go ahead first "
" Yeah, we'll catch up with you later " Axel said
" Alright " Syrus said
" Don't you think we should go back too? " Bastion asked
" I'm not going back " Chazz answered
" But Zell and Irvine risked their lives " Blair said " Well, sort of "
" That's why we have to stay alive, IDIOT! " Chazz bellowed
" Hey! No need to shout! We can hear you " Jesse said
" Whatever, we better go now " Chazz replied then ran off
