Parade of Falling Rain
Chapter 1
"Look out!!" Selphie shouted to Quistis who looked behind her. Her eyes widened at what she saw. A ruby Dragon was about to bite her head off. She screamed and covered her head with her hands. She waited for the dragons teeth to sink in her flesh but instead heard a loud BANG. She removed her hands and saw Irvine aim the dragon, which had now become half blind. Quistis let a sigh of relief and quickly nodded Irvine her thanks and returned to battle.
"CURA" Selphie shouted as she cast the spell on Squall who thanked her and attacked another ruby dragon. Rinoa was battling another, Irvine had his own, Quistis had her own and Squall and Zell had their own dragons to take care of. Selphie was the "healer", healing when needed. The whole situation seemed rather desperate. The monsters around the whole world had started to gather to big groups and their numbers seemed to be multiplieing. And the monsters were getting stronger too. And the SeeDs were getting tired. The monsters' magic was rather good too.
"It's hopeless!" Rinoa shouted as she fell on her butt and quickly rolled away from the spot and the dragon's jaws snapped closed just few seconds from that. "We should retreat for now!" She shouted to Squall. It was raining hard and they were all soaked and it was hard to move on the muddy ground.
"I agree, I'm running low with healing magic!" Selphie shouted and cast a cure on Irvine who shot his enemy dead. He lowered his gun.
"Yeah, and I'm getting tired, we have been battling these things for two hours!" He said, trying to catch his breath. It seemed like that too. There was tens of dead dragon carcases on the ground around them. They had walked near their nest so that wasn't a surprise.
"And I'm Hungry!" They heard a shout from a bit distance away. Zell was maybe the most tired of them all, having to battle with only his legs and fists. He was panting heavily and was on the defensive most of the time, trying to catch his breath before landing punch or two. He was now taking a small break, having his other knee on the ground. Squall could see that Zell was near collapsing.
"Let's finish these off. Zell, you ok?" Squall shouted.
"Yeah, I'm ok.!" Zell said with a grin and with quick jump to the side as his dragon tried to smash him with it's tail. Irvine went to help Quistis. Selphie decided to get on the offence and went to help Rinoa. Soon, Quistis' and Irvine's dragon was on the ground. Then they heard a ear piercing scream of pure agony. They all turned to look at where it came from. One of the ruby dragons, the one that Irvine had fought earlier had somehow survived. And as Zell had dodged another hit from the rudy he had fought and came nearer the almost dead, it had rised it's head and closed it's jaw around Zell's leg. Irvine reacted quickly and shot it dead and it let go with a final scream. Quistis ran to the still alive one that was now towering over Zell who was bleeding badly. Selphie and Rinoa killed their ruby in matter of seconds and ran towards Zell.
"Oh my god.. Zell!" Selphie said and looked at the leg and almost vomited. They could see the bone! Rinoa was shaking badly and Zell's expresion was one of immense pain. There were tears of pain streaming down his face as he lay in the mud, bleeding like there was no tomorrow. Soon Squall was with them.
"C-Cast a curaga...!!" Rinoa said.
"I ran out of curagas a fine while ago!" Selphie said, crying herself.
"It wouldn't help on injury that big. Go! Get Ragnarok ready! We leave now!" Squall said and skooped Zell on his arms and started running towards their airship. Zell was muttering curses all the way. With final BANG, Quistis an Irvine were ready to go too. In ragnarok Selphie quickly ran to the control room and started the engines and they were off towards Balamb garden. Zell was at the entrance with all the others.
"Give me something that I can tie the wound with!!" Quistis shouted. Irvine ren quickly off and was back in a minute with bandaging materials. He went at Zell's side and took his hand in his. And regretted it. Zell was sqeezing the life outta him! "Rise his leg up!" Squall hed Zell's leg up and Rinoa was wiping off the tears and sweat on Zell's face and said soothing things to him. Quistis finished bandaging the leg and was scared when she noticed how quickly the blood was coming through it.
"It's okay Zell! You'll make it!" Rinoa said and wiped her own tears away. Quistis was visibly shaking, Squall was as pale as anyone can come and Irvine was near tears. It was silent if you didn't count the curses Zell muttered through gritted teeth and the soothing words Rinoa whispered to him. Finally they felt that they landed and the exit opened and Squall took Zell in his arms and ran towards the garden entrance. The others followed. Everyone in the hallways stared at them as they ran by, leaving droplets of blood after.
"DR. KADOWAKI!!" Selphie shouted when they burst in.
"There he is!" Dr. Kadowaki said as she quided them to one of the rooms. "the other doctors will be here any minute." She said.
"Other doctors?" Quistis questioned.
"Selphie called me and I called to balamb hospital. " She said and removed the bandages. She gasped at the sight and the others looked away. Zell let out a gasp of pain which brought her attention to him. "What on earth are doing conscious?" She muttered. "Zell, I'm afraid that you leg needs amputation." She said and the others looked at her in shock.
"...but gasp then I.. can't.... hiccup...walk..." Zell managed to say.
"Yes you can. It would be amputationed just below your knee." She said and gave him sedative. "It's your only chance of living." She explained and Zell nodded. Then the other medics burst in. "Now, you others leave!" She said and they started their job as the others left. All the girls crying, Irvine shaking and Squall as pale as a ghost. It was late and they decided it was time to go to sleep. Theyt would find out about Zell next morning and they needed the rest.
So, what do you think? Was it good? Bad? Great? Horrible? R&R.
