Rydi and SD+8

[Grunt's Party arrives at the Land of Summoned monster]
Cid: We're here. didn't take that long ether
[Some GIs Greet them. Soon the Party continues on]
Takashi: Don't worry about the monsters here, they are usualy Friendly, especialy if you're friends of Rydia
[They eventualy get to a house]
Cid: I'll talk to them, you guys wait here
Takashi: Very well
[Cid goes in]
[Someone comes up behind Grunt]
????: Hi there.

*Grunt jumps five feet into the air*

Grunt: WA!

*Grunt spins around*

[Grunt soon recognizes the person behind him. It's Rita.... But she looks alot Younger]
Takashi: Hey It's Rita!
Rita: Hi Uncle Takashi
Takashi: Hey wait, you Remember me?!?!?!?
Rita: yeah, Dad says it's a Realy weird thing that Not even Uncle Donez has been able explain... I remember a lot of things from before... [Looks at Grunt] Like you... Remember me?

Grunt: WITA!!!!!!!

*Grunt tackles Rita to the ground in a huge hug*

Grunt: I mist wu wita! Why you out my of my head?

Rita: Hu? Out of your head?
Everyone:???
Takashi: Could be he's missed you so much that he's seen visions of you
Porom: makes sence
Rita: Well I missed you too... Everyone has... well except my new Brothers and sisters... Oh You need to meet them
[Cid and SD Come out of the House]
SD: What's goin on out here?!
Rita: Hi Dad!
SD: Ehh? [Sees grunt] Ahh it's you. good to see ya again... I take it Takashi DIDN'T give you my message
Takashi: Actualy I did but he someow got all upset and desided to come and see for himself...
SD: Ahh... well ether way allow me to be the 1st to Officialy welcome you to the Land of Summoned Monsters. How about you come inside and all will be explained...

*Grunt jumps off of Rita but does not let go of her hand, he then follows SD into the house*

"Thats not really me!" the voice said, "Its an evil clone created by Big Monster to throw you off. I died, and there's nothing the work of monsters can do to bring me back. But still act as though it were the real me, pretend nothing has changed."

*Grunt's teeth began to grind, he slowly began to crush Rita's hand*

Grunt: I wuv u so much wita. So much.......

[They get in]
SD: O.K. I'm sure you've noticed that Rita isn't... Exactly like you remember... The 1st thing you'll need to understand is that the Kids you met before came from the Future... In other words they came from a time Far away from our own...
[Breaks out a diagram]
[Hang on, Technical dificulties on the Picture]

"In other words, it isn't the real me just a clone," the voice said, "He will try to confuse you with his details. Just pretend to understand even if you do not."

Grunt: Ah yes yes........ I see.

*grunt pulls out tiny specs and looks over the diagram*

SD: O.K. As you can see the Kids were Originaly Born in the Future. That's "Later". The Not-so-Distant Past, the "Then" is when Mecha Sonic had killed them... you and I both saw that... But I'd rather not continue on that it's a... hard topic to get on
Rita: It's O.K. Dad...
SD: Right back on the subject the Here and Now we desided to Actualy have the Kids. The reason why we can do this is because the Kids you met came from the Future... Otherwise yeah theywould be gone... Now as to how they've gotten this old so fast. You see Time flows differently here in the land of Summoned Monsters. A Day out there is an Entire year in here. It's not as confuzeing as the Topic before... now for the last thing [ 4 other kids enter. Grunt should also recognize them] You know the 1st 5 here. Myst The Oldest, Star and Dart the Light and Dark Twins. John and, Of Course, Rita... But... [2 more kids, along with Rydia and another Child in her arms. comes down] Let me introduce the Newest Additions... you see we loved havein the kids so much... we decided to have more... Thoes 2 down there are Lydia and Ceil. Lydia's getting pretty good with White Magic. She allready knows all 4 Cure Spell Levels
Lydia: Hello.
SD: And Ceil is like the Master of BLack Magic. he knows the 3 levels to the Elemental Spells of Fire, Ice and Lit...
Ceil: Yo
SD: And the little one there in Rydia's Arms is Fransisco. He's developing a special kind of Magic. Twilight, which is the Perfect combenation of Light and Dark Energy. It's a difficult Power to learn yet Fransisco can use it as if it was 2nd nature to him.
[Fransisco just looks at Grunt... He can tell something's not right but he dosn't say anything.]

Grunt: Hello! Why none pretty as fake wita?

*grunt looks over them*

Grunt: I wike Wydia toe!

Rita: (Fake? what does he mean by that?)
[Lydia just smiles]
SD: Well from what Cid said it sounds like you guys have had a long journey... How about you all rest here for tonight. we all shall leave. you guys and Me and Rydia
Ciel: Daddy, do you have to go?
SD: Sorry Ceil. part of the plan... I know it's tough... But you guys make sure you're ready for that Tournament. you all want to go to it right?
Star: You bet. I know Technically I've never been to one but... It feels so long since the last one
Dart: At least I did better then you in that one...
Star: Whatever...
Lydia: Yeah, you guys might have been in those Tournaments in your Past life. Me and Ceil and Little Fransisco don't have a past life....
Fransisco: Don't call me little
[All eyes go to Fransisco]
SD: Fransisco doesn't say much yet. but when he does, he surprises us quiet a bit.
Fransisco: It's because there's nothing much to talk about yet.. just you wait...
SD:.... I'll hold you to that.
Fransisco: Uhh, Ma... Could you let me down. I'm 1 years old and can walk just fine you know...
Rydia: uhh.... Right...
[Rydia lets him down. he stands as if he's done it for years]
Fransisco: Shesh... Everyone treating me like I'm little... This Tournament's just what I need to Prove I'm no Kid
SD: Ahh just wait Fransisco. once you get to my Age, you'll wish you still had your Childhood
Fransisco: Really I can't wait till my teen years...
SD: Eh? Why
Fransisco: Because I Know they shall be the best years of my life...
SD: He definitely fallows in my footsteps.

Grunt: Tournymert? What dat?

"This tournament could be your chance to kill big monster!" the voice said, "You basically just fight your opponent until they're knocked out or dead. It very simple."

[in grunt's head]

Grunt: Wita? Why you call your daddy big monster? And wu wike Wydia? She cute.

"Because now that I've puzzled together that he played a hand in my death, I call my father what he truly is, a big monster. And yes, I like Lydia. She's the only good one here besides you and me. Only she's under big monster's evil spell, once he's dead you can save her and me. Watch out for that Fransisco, he's worse than my 'father.' He takes after him."

[in grunt's head]

Grunt: Ya I hate fwan-fwan-Little big monster! But I'll save wydia.

SD: well it's getting late... I'd suggest we all get to bed
Ceil: Do we have to
SD: Yes... Even the greatest of warriors needs sleep
Rita: *Yawns* and after the fun I've had today I definetly need it
SD: We leave in the mourning.
Lydia: Do you have to go so soon?
SD: The later we stay the harder it will be to leave... I know it's been hard on all of you but it must be done. just 2 more years for you guys
Fransisco: Yeah, we get the short end of the stick. You guys only have a 2 day wiat...
SD: I know but still. to a Parent a 2 day wait can be too long...
[A GI knocks on the Door]
GI: Sir. Ike, as well as King Cecil and Queen Rosa have arrived
[I don't see Moon on much and I don't see him useing Ike much so I'll just use the OC rule for right now. Moon can always take over when he gets back]
SD: Send them in
[Ike, Cecil and Rosa step in]
Cid: Ha ha! Cecil old Buddy!
Cecil: Cid! Good to see you
SD: Ike, long time no see...
Ike: Indeed

OOC: SD. Can you state who you would like in the tournament? I wish to start it.

*Grunt sits against the wall*

Grunt: Big monster, I'm not.....tired.

*Grunt drifts asleep*

SD: [Notices Grunt Asleep] Not tired... Right... In ways he's just like you kids [Notices the other Kids asleep. except Rita, John, and Fransisco who are going upstairs to thier Beds] Yup... Come on Rydia... We have to get these Sleepy heads off to bed
Ike: I'll help
Cecil: Me Too
Rosa: Me 3
SD: O.K. Then, I've got Myst. Ike you take Ceil, Cecil and Rosa, Take Star and Dart, Rydia Take Lydia
[Later]
Ike: Hey Stardart
SD; What's up Ike?
Ike: Care for a little Sparring Match before getting to sleep?
SD: Don't mind if I do Ike...
[Anyone who's allready on that list and all 8 of the Kids are what I'm entering...]

[Long story short, Ike Wins...]
SD: Damn you're Good Ike...
Ike: Of course. and you're not bad yourself...
SD: I know. Well tomorrow we leave for the Surface...
