Disclaimer: I don't own FFVIII. Square Enix does. Blah blah blah. You get my drift. Some interesting situations later. Yaoi. NO LIKE-Y NO READ-Y!!! Simple as that folks. Enjoy.

Chapter 1: Time to Burn

"SEIFER!" Zell screams as Adel turns on an angry Seifer.

"YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN'T HURT ZELL." Seifer screams pulling the Hyperion. "Stupid boy." Adel chuckles firing up a blizzaga spell.

Zell darts forward to stop Seifer. The sorceress sweeps her hand out knocking Seifer flat sending Hyperion knifing into the dirt at Squall's feet.

"Alright then."Squall says picking up the Hyperion and charging at the sorceress. With an unmistakable sound the Hyperion sinks into Adel's flesh.

"Fool." Adel growls and sends him flying with a well placed blow to the stomach. "Need a body." Adel murmurs looking at the group as she pulls Hyperion from her abdomen and tosses it aside. Her eyes light on Zell. "You. From fair creature we desire that thereby beauty's rose might never die. Hyne's tender heir might bear our memory. You contracted to thine bright eyes. Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel. This to be new made when thou art young, and see thy blood warm when thou feels't cold."

A light blasts from Adel's hand and hits Zell in the chest spreading cold fire through him.

A million different memories rush through Zell's mind. The first day he met Seifer. His first day at Matron's orphanage. His first day living with Ma. The day he got his tattoo as a sign of crazy teenage rebellion. Piercing his own ears. His first day at Garden. The dance where he realized for the first time he was in love with Seifer. Selphie's Garden Committee. His first day as a SEED. Seifer's betrayal by becoming the Sorceress's knight. The events that led up to this very moment. All of it in a whirl of light and sound and sensations. He collapses in pain.

"ZELL!" Seifer yells running over to him and helps him sit up.

"I'm alright." Zell says touching his chest expecting to feel a huge hole there. "I'm alive. Right? This isn't Heaven? Or a weird dream?"

"No, Chickie. It's not." Seifer says tenderly. Zell looks up at him and Seifer gasps. "What?" Zell asks. "Your eye. Chickie, your eye it's…red." Seifer says quietly.

"Red? What the hell?" Zell asks. "Selphie give me your mirror." The little brunette does so. Opening it Zell looked at the eye in question. A red eye with an elliptical pupil stared back at him. Just like Adel's eyes.

Dropping the mirror Zell shudders in horror. "What does this mean?" he asks out loud to no one in particular.

"It means this body belongs to me now, heir of Hyne." A cold voice chuckles in his head. The Sorceress Adel.

"Zell are you...are you okay?" Selphie asks cautiously approaching Zell.

"No. Adel is using my body"He tries to scream

"I'm fine. Just fine. It's only a minor headache. It'll go away soon." Adel says using Zell's voice and standing up.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Squall asks, giving him an odd look.

"Yes I'm fine. Let's go back to Garden." Adel answers smiling.

"Don't trust me Squall. None of you should trust me."Zell thinks

"Shut up"Adel says to him. "This is my body now and I'm going to enjoy using it."
