The Gargant scurried along the ceilings of this cave as quickly as it could, unaware of the reluctant rider clinging to its back. Once it came towards a ledge nearby, Cidolfus took a leap of faith. He landed upon the ledge with a slight grunt, almost hissing in pain once he scraped his knee against a jagged rock.

"By the Gods...!" Still wincing in agony, the doctor's faithful Rooks convened around him in mock concern. Slowly rising to his feet, Cidolfus took a moment to dust himself off before continuing with his trek through Fossil Roo. Limping slightly as he walked, the doctor took out his Sky Phone to catch up on the latest news. His pleas of innocence in these alleged crimes were ignored, leaving the doctor to literally fend against the headhunters who've pursued him here. While he certainly knew that Nabaat would be more than willing to hide him within Narshe, the problem with that notion is him actually reaching the snowy town in one piece.

"Damnit!" Fang's swear was emphatic, but she didn't hesitate. With Raines and Yuffie still on the lower ledges with the now-broken rooks, it was up to her and Lightning - and as Raines could attest to, she didn't hesitate.

Blood tricked down the front of his coat, adding more color to the elaborate reds and purples he wore. The blade of Fang's spear stabbed him right through the chest, a fatal blow.

"D-Damn you..." Cidolfus cursed hoarsely as he staggered to the ground. Feeling something hot gush up within his throat, the doctor began to cough up blood as he tried to crawl away from them. "Curse you and all the others!"

He came to a halt once an eerie glow emitted from his left coat pocket. It was a blue glow, one that matched the harsh waves of a raging sea. Gasping for air now, the doctor reached within his pocket and held up the magnificent blue gem that called to him. It was one of the legendary Zodiac Stones.

"God Stone bearer, with me now do treat."The stone itself was speaking to him as it rose into the air, its raspy voice as clear as day for
