Disscidia

There was a slight problem.  Since the upheaval of the worlds getting from one place to another had been iffy at best.

Time between was spent poking the hulk of an old airship with a stick.

There wasn't that much to do at all; Squall had given up on telling Bartz that it was pointless to poke the airship.  Cecil was poking around where the engine would have been, searching for anything salvageable.  Cloud was attempting to raise someone-anyone-on his cell phone.  Tidus was showing Terra the finer points of a well-executed Wither Shot, and the Onion Knight was watching them.

Frustrated, Cloud flipped his phone shut.  "Looks like we might be here for a while.  The airship's obviously not taking off anytime soon."

"Well, we've got to do something.  I'd rather not be stuck here for too long."  Squall was cleaning his gunblade for lack of anything better to do.

"As long as it doesn't involve me being the first one to try a flying leap into one of those portals, it works for me."  Bartz continued to poke the wreck, deliberately avoiding looking over the edge of the floating tower.  The Rift made him uncomfortable enough as it was-he was NOT about to be first off the edge.

"It won't be a problem," Cloud interrupted.  "I managed to get ahold of Cid.  He's going to figure out a way to get the stuff we need to fix this so we can get going."

"You know Cid?" Cecil and Squall asked at the same time.

"Wait-you know Cid?" Cloud and Tidus returned.

"Wait, you speak Al Behd?"  Tidus scratched his head, confused.

"Cid doesn't speak that language.  I've never heard of it."  Terra was attempting the shot that Tidus had just demonstrated.  It did go well.

"Wait a second, guys," Bartz broke in with a confused expression.  "We can't all know Cid, right?  One of us has to be mistaken."

"No way.  I practically grew up with him.  He's the headmaster of the Garden."  Squall was adamant.

"I fought alongside Cid many times for the Planet's sake!"

It got worse from there, everyone talking over the other to prove that only they knew the real Cid.

"Will you guys wait a minute!"

The bickering stopped after Bartz's yell.  Everyone stared.

"Now that I've got your attention, I've got an idea of how we can settle this.  Now, in a civilized manner.  What Cids are we talking about?"  Bartz was afraid he already knew what was about to happen.

"Cid Kramer.  Runs the Garden where I grew up and dabbles in airships."  Squall glares at Cloud.

"Huh," Onion Knight said pensively.  "I thought we were talking about Cid Haze."

"The only Cid I know isn't an engineer," Terra mused.

"I was talking about Cid Highwind," Cloud said.

"Highwind?"  Cecil looked up from his foraging.  "By chance, is he any relation to a Kain Highwind?"

Oh, boy, Bartz thought.  This is not the way I thought this would go.  He had a pretty good feeling that they'd soon be greeted by a mob of Cids…and considering the number of engineers in the ranks that he'd heard about, he was pretty sure he'd get an earful from any one of them about mistreating an airship.  As more and more of the warriors began identifying their Cids, getting the idea of impending mechanical doom out of his head became more difficult.

Suddenly leaping into one of the Rift's portals didn't sound like such a bad idea.
My boyfriend made a comment that Cid Highwind should be in a sequel if it happens (and if I have my way it WILL! Prepare for ONSLAUGHT, S-E!). Then I said that it really would be Diss-CID-ia…

And thus this fic was born.

Bartz, trying to be the wise man? All "stop this madness"? No way :p
Can't wait to have Cid in Discidia (at least I would if they would put him in), it would be nice \o/
