===''Final Fantasy V''=== [[File:Cid Previa in Jail.jpg|thumb|left|The Warriors of Light meet Cid in Karnak jail.]] After the wind crystal and water crystal had already shattered, the Light Warriors arrived in Karnak, but were imprisoned after being accused of colluding with a [[Werewolf (Final Fantasy V)|werewolf]]. Cid met them while attempting to use an explosive to escape his prison cell, but instead arriving in their cell. [[Lenna Charlotte Tycoon]] balked upon realizing he was the machines' inventor, but Cid said he deserved the criticism due to the damage the crystals had sustained. The group realized their goals aligned as both wished to save the crystals, and agreed to work together. When the chancellor of Karnak arrived upon realizing that Cid was correct and pleaded for his help, Cid agreed on condition that the Light Warriors were also released.<ref name="Karnak Castle"/> The Light Warriors joined Cid at the [[Fire-Powered Ship|fire-powered ship]] to find a way to deactivate the device, but were unable to prevent the fire crystal from shattering. Cid went into depression and drank away at the [[pub]] in Karnak,{{cite|FFV|script=Karnak (after the Fire-Powered Ship)|name=Karnak (after the Fire-Powered Ship)|version=advance}} leading the Light Warriors to find his grandson, Mid, who inspired Cid to put his mind to use to protect the [[Earth Crystal (term)#Final Fantasy V|earth crystal]].{{cite|FFV|script=Karnak (after Library of the Ancients)|name=Karnak (after Library of the Ancients)|version=advance}} The two refitted the fire-powered ship to run without the crystal or the wind, allowing the Light Warriors to use it to save the remaining crystal; seeing Cid and Mid's relationship awakened some of [[Galuf Halm Baldesion]]'s memories, reminded of his relationship with his granddaughter, [[Krile Mayer Baldesion (Final Fantasy V)|Krile Mayer Baldesion]].{{cite|FFV|script=Fire-Powered Ship (after Library of the Ancients)|version=advance}} The fire-powered ship sank to the [[Catapult (Final Fantasy V)|Catapult]], with the Light Warriors believing they had lost it in a whirlpool. The warriors used a [[black chocobo]] to return to Cid and Mid in the Library of the Ancients, where they shrugged it off and said they'd simply build a new one. Cid and Mid relayed rumors of King [[Alexander Highwind Tycoon]] being spotted in Karnak and then traveling to the [[Desert of Shifting Sands]],{{cite|FFV|script=Library of the Ancients (after Crescent)|name=Library of the Ancients (after Crescent)|version=advance}} where the two hastily hatched a plan to provoke a [[Sandworm (Final Fantasy V)|sandworm]] and use the defeated sandworm corpse as the bridge across the desert.{{cite|FFV|script=Desert of Shifting Sands|version=advance}} [[File:Cid Mid Meteor.jpg|thumb|Cid and Mid collecting Meteors' power.]] While the Light Warriors crossed the desert to travel to [[Gohn (Final Fantasy V)|Gohn]], Cid and Mid flew the black chocobo to its home and fell into a pitfall, leading them to the Catapult structure. They met up with the Light Warriors there, who had arrived through a pitfall in Gohn, and found both the parked fire-powered ship and an ancient [[Airship (term)|airship]] that Cid managed to reactivate. From then on, the Catapult became Cid and Mid's base of operations. The pair instructed the Light Warriors on how to reach the [[Ronka Ruins]], requesting [[Adamantite (item)|adamantite]] to outfit the airship to reach it.<ref name="Catapult"/> The Light Warriors were unable to stop the earth crystal from shattering, meaning that [[Exdeath]] was released, and Galuf used Krile's [[Meteorite (Final Fantasy V)|meteorite]] to [[Galuf's world|his world]] to battle Exdeath. Though Galuf had forbidden the others from coming along, the three remaining Light Warriors resolved to follow to Galuf's world and help him, and turned to Cid as they had no other ideas how to travel.{{cite|FFV|script=Ronka Ruins|version=advance}} As they followed Cid to the [[Tycoon Meteorite|meteorite in Tycoon]], Cid and Mid were in the middle of returning adamantite,{{cite|FFV|script=Catapult (after Ronka Ruins)|version=advance}} only to find the meteorite absorb the adamantite to recharge. This gave Cid and Mid the idea to recharge all four meteorites at once to send them back.{{cite|FFV|script=Tycoon Meteorite (after Ronka Ruins)|version=advance}} The Light Warriors did so, and traveled to Galuf's world. Cid threw himself into his work, blaming himself for the state of the world, and found a way to transform the airship into a [[submarine]].{{cite|FFV|script=Catapult 2|name=Catapult 2|version=advance}} After Exdeath [[Merged world|merged the worlds]], Cid was trapped in the machinery in Catapult, which itself was stuck beneath the [[Fork Tower]] that appeared when the worlds merged, as Mid rushed to [[Crescent (Final Fantasy V)|Crescent]] to find help.{{cite|FFV|script=Crescent optional dialogue|version=advance}} The Light Warriors completed the Fork Tower and freed Cid, who told them of his research to use the airship as a submarine. After Mid told the others that Cid blamed himself for all that had happened, Cid urged [[Bartz Klauser]] and the warriors to save the world, lamenting he was incapable of helping beyond modifying machinery and had done all he could.<ref name="Catapult 2"/>
