Go into the Town of Crescent. An earthquake will strike the island. Your ship sinks into a whirlpool! Looks like your stuck...
	In the town, the people will talk about the incredible bounty of the land. Even though it never rains, there is always plenty of water, and the harvests are always good. Hmmm... the Earth Crystal? But, they also talk about a species of chocobo that can fly! They seem to be extinct, but one person says he saw one in the forest to the south. The crystal can wait, you need a way to get around first!
Go to the forest south of the Town of Crescent.
	There's the Black Chocobo! Butz runs after it. When you catch it, it won't be able to fly too well though. It looks like it's been weighed down by 2 of the crystal pieces from Karnak! You'll pick them up and learn new classes. After that, hop on the chocobo and fly away. You'll need to tell Cid you just wrecked his new ship!
You can go anywhere in the world now. Before heading back to the Ancient Library, you may want to stop by Lix to learn some secrets of Butz's past. If you haven't got Shiva yet, now is an excellent time to stop by Worus and get her. She's easy to defeat now that you are higher in level.
	If you forgot where the library is, its south of Karnak :).
In the library, Cid and Mid aren't too upset about the steamship. They are excited about the fact that King Tycoon was seen in Karnak! He was also spotted going into the Quicksand Desert and then into the Ancient City south of it.
	Leave the library and go west until you reach the Quicksand Desert.
In the desert, the quicksand will prevent you from going through! But, Cid and Mid arrive with an idea, they will disturb the Sandworm, your party will kill it, and then use its corpse as a bridge. Galuf's words pretty much say it all, but there doesn't seem to be any other way.
	Cid says a book said that using magic against the Sandworm was unwise. The book lied. Use your Time Wizard to cast Fast on all your party members. Be sure to hit the worm, not the holes it jumps between, or the hole will counter with Demi. Have your Caller use Chocobo Kick against it, and your Black Wizard blast it with Ice2. Don't worry so much about missing with your magic, nothing will happen if you do.
After the Sandworm is dead, walk across his body and into the desert.
	Work your way south through the desert. When you make it out, go south until you reach the Ancient City.
When you enter the city, you will see King Tycoon! He doesn't seem to want to talk though. After you chase him around for a while, you eventually corner him and he will drop the floor out from under you!
	After you fall, Faris recognizes the King as his father! He and Lenna are sisters it seems. No time to worry though. Wander around until you find a teleporter. It will work once and then blow itself up from not being used in so long.
Continue on through the area. You'll reach a door that opens when you pull a lever. Cid and Mid (who just returned the black Chocobo the Crescent Island) will fall in a hole that appears! Keep going until you get to your old steamship, and go on until you get to an airship! Cid and Mid fall in, and after a short discussion with your party, fix the airship. When they are done, your ship will try to rise up out of the Ancient Base into the sky, but CrawClaw holds it down.
	CrawClaw only has a measly 2000 HP, but he has very strong physical defense and his TailScrew attack will reduce whoever it hit's HP down to single digits. Hit him with Bolt 2 and Ramuh a couple of times to make this a short fight.
After he is defeated, Cid and Mid will land the airship in the Ancient Base and tell you they will keep researching the location of the Earth Crystal. You must protect it. The sky is now yours.
