"Cloud's been gone a while. Why has he not come back for me ?"
Red XIII paced back and forth anxiously awaiting any sign of life from his companions. The new computer Cid had given him was a blessing and a curse, occupying Red's thoughts for most of the day, and sometimes in his sleep. The boredom surrounding Cosmo Canyon was becoming unbearable. He could hardly have a decent meal without remembering all the great times he had had with his friends. His broken headdress lay dormant in the corner, stained with blood and tattered with age and use.
*BING*
"Hmm?"
Red XIII slumped down in front of the monitor and read the message he had just received. Apparently Cloud has been helping out some people fight off demons. Several waves are on their way and he could use help. He is currently in Deling City.
"I want to help. l have to go find Cid, so he can take me in the Highwind toward--"
Red XIII quickly glanced at the name of the town.
"Deling City? Never heard of it, but if that is the place, I will have to locate a map to find it. I can check the library in the Observatory-- *yawn*"
Red XIII stretched his legs yawned loudly, whipping his tail back and forth.
"--after I get some sleep"

"Regards. I am pleased to make all of your acquaintances. You may call me Red XIII."
A large array of metal fingers lay in front of Red XIII, punching away at the new keyboard sent to him from an old friend.
"Cid Highwind's invention seems to be working rather well. He has created an electrical headband which reads impulses sent in the nervous system to control a pair of robotic hands placed near the keyboard to type in what I am thinking of. Remarkable as it may seem, I cannot stress enough how uncomfortable it is to wear."
Red XIII scratches his head in earnest, causing several lights to flicker and annoying buzzing sounds to emit from the back side of the mechanism. He hesitated for a moment, then continued.
"Cid was also generous enough to send a... 'computer' I believe it is called. He explained how I could contact individuals outside my home through..."
He growled and shook his head violently, allowing the contraption to be thrown from his head. The headband fell to the ground with a *thud*, which echoed throughout his cave. Cosmo Canyon had grown calm over the past few years. Red XIII had become restless and was sure Cid's gift could bring him some entertainment, however uncomfortable it was to operate.
He rose and started for the entrance to his cave. Just as he was about to exit a high pitched *BING* sounded from his new gift. He turned back to the machine and read the small box that had appeared on the screen.
"1 new message?" he read aloud. "Who would send ME a message?"
Red XIII pawed at the circular 'mouse' that Cid described to be able to control the actions of the computer. He assumed that the Accept button illustrated within the box meant that he could read his message. He clicked on it. As the message began to load, he read the heading...
"Enhance the size of your... "
His eyes widened.
Red XIII quickly shut off the computer and tried not to think about what he had just read as he headed for the observatory at the top of the canyon.
