Aftermath:
Their Squall lied crouched over on the ground in a vain attempt to regain the strength he had lost in his previous battle with Diablos. Just before he was about to black out he saw the blurry image of his life long friend walking towards him. Zell knelt down next to him and casted a healing spell to replenish Squall's strength. With the new surged strength that Squall gained he stood up and sheathed his Guinblade. He than put his hand on Zell's shoulder to thank him. "How's Rinoa?" asked Squall " she had her soul stolen by Diablos" replied Zell with a very sad look on his face. "What! No it can't be she can't be gone!" screamed out Squall showing his feelings of anger and bewilder. "Calm down Squall did you not see it happen?" questioned Zell "Yeah, all I remember is up with my last bit of strength and using Renzokuken and then passing out" replied Squall with a little annoyance mixed in his voice. Zell strolled towards the fallen Diablos. He noticed that Diablos was still alive and breathing but barley, "Help…Me…Please…I…will join…you…if you…do" struggled Diablos as he tried to spit out his words with his last few breaths. After about 30 seconds of thinking Zell decided to help the fallen enemy, "fine" replied Zell as he healed Diablos. While Zell was in the process of healing Diablos towards Squall went to find the mysterious hero that had helped them towards the end. When Squall made it to the site were the hero ran off to he noticed Seifer was their fighting Shiva alone. 'How the hell did he get here and were the others'. He noticed the falling comrades helplessly lying on the ground trying to keep from fainting. "Help!" shouted Seifer with an annoyance look on his face, the look he usually had. With much thought Squall jumped into battle. He dove left as an ice beam whizzed past his head. After about 15 seconds to recuperate from the dive Squall and Seifer both had to ditch right to escape her Diamond Dust attack. When he got on his feet both Squall and Seifer jumped in the air and slashed Shiva in her chest and gut. When the two warriors backed off Shiva started staggering back and fourth. All of a sudden Zell jumped in and started his duel attack, when he finished Diablos used his dark Messenger and finished Shiva off. When the body dropped on the ground out cold, Zell proceeded towards it to heal. "Thank You" said Shiva in a some what weak voice "for that I will join you" she added. After the huge massacre was over the gang tried to get everything together and think of a way to get Rinoa back. "If we can find her body then we can easily revive her" said Seifer. After about an hour of planning what to do the gang finally split up into two groups to search for Rinoa's body. "Meet back here if you find something we will search for about 6 hours" said Squall "all right!" replied everybody. After a while about a mile away for the meeting spot Squall started to lose hope. 'there's no hope' thought Squall 'there's no damn hope' Squall fell too his knees in front of a puddle. He stared at the puddle hard and saw Rinoa's face 'why did I let her go' thought Squall before Zell stepped in the puddle. "Yo! Squall waz up?" asked Zell with a stupid look on his face "…"replied Squall still thinking of Rinoa. "hey chicken wuss! Leave him alone don't you see he is thinking" said Seifer. "What did you call me!" Shouted Zell as he charged at him.
'WE WILL NEVER FIND HER BODY, DAMMIT!' thought Squall.
Will they ever find Rinoa's body in time to save her.
