[Fury*Open*]A Better Life? More Exciting At Least...

Fury chuckled as he heard Zeru's question. He moved through the ship towards the cockpit as he talked to the werewolf. "I'm sure we can find something that will fit you. If not we can have something made for you. We have tailors at the Garden that will be more than willing to help someone out who aided me." Fury entered the cockpit to see both Cowboy and Dizzy behind the wheel and getting ready to take off. He put his hand on Cowboy's shoulder and said, "We're all aboard. Go ahead and take us back to the Garden. CRAIG, send the scans of the crystals ahead of us to the shop and start analyzing it for the weapon crystals."

Fury turned around as Cowboy punched the portal canon which opened the wormhole back to the eighth world in front of the ship. Then the ship tilted forward and moved into the portal. He waved his hand towards the back of the ship again and said, "Right this way, I'll show you where you can stay for the rest of the trip." He walked through the ship until he came to the ships's briefing room. He tapped the large table in the middle of the room and it lit up in a bright blue color. He tapped it a few more times and a small man wearing combat armor appeared on the table. "Zeru, this is C.R.A.I.G. He is our onboard Artificial Intelligence. Which basically means he's a living computer. He'll keep you company for the rest of the trip. He'll tell you anything you want to know about the world of VIII. Just talk to him how you would talk to a normal human and he'll respond."

Fury then walked out of the briefing room and locked the door behind himself. Not that he didn't trust the wolf, but because there were just a few things on the ship that even his closest friends shouldn't see. He then moved right down the hallway to the onboard armory. He entered the armory and stayed in there working on his projects for the rest of the ride.

About and hour later they were landing in the Balamb Garden hangar. Fury returned to the briefing room and let Zeru out. Then he escorted him off the ship and into the hangar. Stepping out of the ship, Fury waved his arms through the air and said, "Welcome to Balamb Garden, home of the famous SeeD forces." He turned to a cadet walking by and said, "You, get a hold of Miss Kinneas and Miss Brix and have them meet me in the infirmary. Thank you" He then extended his arm towards the infirmary and said, "This way, Zeru, we have to get you checked out before I can show you around."

I was a bit shocked when Fury summoned a little blue man onto a table for me to ask questions to. He told me to speak to it like I would a person and ask it anything about the 'World of Eight'. I would begin asking it questions about where we were headed, the current economical status, the various races that are there, diseases to look out for, among other things. Seeing how Fury skipped about an hour or so, I won't drag on the details, but let me tell you something, both myself and that 'Artificial Intelligence' learned something there. CRAIG learned some big fancy words to use later in case it felt like confusing Fury.

It wasn't on purpose, I promise you.

Whatever the case, upon landing the vehicle, I felt myself have re-established weight, which was always good, because the descent wasn't very fun at all for a large gentleman like myself. I did shiver a bit, I won't lie, but it would be impolite to complain about a person's mode of travel. No matter how weightless, cramped, or abstract it felt to be in. I would get out first so that the others wouldn't have to squeeze past my musculature to get out. I would stretch out a bit, I had rarely traveled in such a manner.

After a moment of giving orders to his men, Fury would tell me to follow him, saying that I needed to get 'checked out' before I could be shown around the Garden. I wasn't too sure how I felt about that. It had been a while since I had visited a decent White Mage who didn't try to kill me with their Holy Spells. "Alright, I'll go, but if they start charging up a Holy Spell, I cannot guarantee their safety," I said.

Fury walked through Balamb Garden towards the infirmary. He passed both students and teachers as they moved from classroom to classroom to move along with their usual day. It was a quiet day in the Garden, a perfect day for a tour. And a perfect day for research on a particular crystal. Fury was anxious to get to work on the crystal. If his work proved fruitful, people who were once unable to do even a simple card trick would be spouting dragon fire like it was second nature to them. It would be revolutionary to all the worlds. It would be used for good and ultimately for evil, but everyone would be brought down to an even level. Equality was what he strove for.

He walked into the infirmary and waved Zeru in after him. He walked the wolf to a back room and placed him in one of the examination rooms. He started for the door after the wolf was comfortable and said, "I have to get back to work. The doctor will be in to see you in a minute and then after your examination, someone will be outside to give you a tour of the Garden. I'm afraid this is the end of our time together. I might be able to catch up later, but if not, good luck, and stay out of trouble." Fury walked out of the door and headed back to his apartment to begin reverse engineering the crystal for the weapons mods.
