Thanks to SSJPan779 for reviewing.
A/N: It seems I've been getting a lot of grief for the fact a majority of my fics are based on original characters so please don't leave me a review on how much of a mary-sue (dumbass name for a fic) Charity is because I am sick and tired of it.
Well now that's out of my system. Enjoy the chapter.
Ch.10: Ultimecia revealed
"Have you seen Charity?" Torrence asked Squall entering his office. Squall looked up from his paper work.
"No. Why?" Torrence sat in a chair in front of his desk.
"I haven't seen Charity at all today and I have this really bad feeling something is wrong with her." She replied looking worried.
"It's probably your imagination." Squall turned his attention back to his work.
"So you don't even care about your twin sister." Torrence accused.
"Unless she is in trouble this very moment, there is no reason to concern." Squall replied. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a lot of work to do now that Ultimecia is back."
"You're a real piece of work Squall. Charity is in trouble or have you not noticed her weird behavior? First it was that odd cut she got in the middle of the night. Then she started sleepwalking and she complains that her forehead is itchy all the time and marks are starting to show on where she's scratching."
"Marks on her forehead?" Squall questioned. "She has long nails. Of course she would get marks."
"Unless her nails have ink in them, she's not making them herself." Squall turned his attention back to Torrence. He opened his mouth to say something when Quistis' frantic voice came over the intercom.
"Commander Leonhart please get to the first floor quickly! We're under attack!" Both Torrence and Squall ran from the office and boarded the elevator. When the doors opened, they were met with a horrible sight. SeeDs and students alike were fighting off monsters from the training center. Running down to where Quistis and the others were. Squall noticed a figure lurking in the shadows on an unnaturally large Torama.
"Ultimecia is here."
"Ultimecia? Here?" Zell questioned. "Where?"
"Over in the shadows."
"Just like her to cower in the shadows. Come on out Ultimecia. We know you're over there." Ultimecia's evil laugh reached their ears as they got in fighting stance.
"Poor, naive little fools. You do not have the kourage to attack me." She taunted.
"Why the hell not?" Zell said. "We've beaten you before and we'll do it again."
"True, you may have gotten lucky the first time we met. But this time I do not have a faulty knight who cannot do anything right." Ultimecia's eyes pierced the darkness and glared at Seifer. Seifer growled and gripped the handle of his gunblade. "And with the body I now possess, I have unlimited power!"
"So she has possessed someone. Who could it be though?" Camie said quietly.
"Show yourself Ultimecia!" Squall demanded.
"As you wish." The torama slowly moved toward them, moving out of the shadows. Ultimecia was slowly revealed to be...
"Charity!"
Charity was sitting on the torama's back proudly. Her red hair was glittered with silver and her eyes were glowing amber.
"It can't be." Squall growled pulling out his gunblade.
"It is Skwall. Your dear sister is gone and her body and abilities are mine." Ultimecia declared.
Seifer took notice then that Ultimecia's eyes were flashing amber to blue. Ultimecia shook her head slightly and they went back to amber.
"So sorry to attack and run but I have more pressing matters." Ultimecia raised her hand high and summoned Shiva. "Send them to the ice age." Ultimecia said departing. Shiva only remained for about five minutes before she disappeared. Torrence slammed her fist into the ground.
"I told you. I told something was up with Charity but you wouldn't listen to me." Torrence glared at Squall. "Now Charity is gone and Ultimecia has control of her body."
"No she doesn't." Seifer mumbled. All eyes turned to him. "Didn't you see, her eyes kept changing colors."
"That means Charity is fighting Ultimecia's control." Rinoa added. A SeeD came up to Squall, interrupting the conversation.
"Commander there's been one casualty." The cadet said.
"Who?" Squall demanded."
"Joyce Rienkins sir." Squall nodded and the cadet left.
"Seems like Ultimecia acted out one of Charity's wishes." Torrence mumbled.
"It's just a ploy Ultimecia uses to get the person she's controlling to trust her so she can take complete control."
"That's what she did to you isn't it?' Rinoa asked softly. Seifer glanced up at her.
"Ultimecia is ruthless when it comes to power. She'll use any memory to manipulate to gain more."
"If she finds the right memory, Charity will be gone forever." Camie finished.
"What are we going to do?" Torrence asked. Quistis straightened her back.
"Right now all we can do is protect everyone else." She said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Torrence demanded.
"We have to declare war on Charity." Squall replied quietly.
"Like hell you will." Seifer advanced on Squall, grabbing him by the collar. "If Charity is attacked, she will die but Ultimecia will live on to find another host."
"Then what do you suppose we do Seifer?" Quistis said while prying Seifer away from Squall.
"Edea." Rinoa said. "Edea might know something we could do. Or maybe Ellone."
"It's worth a try. I'll go get a car." Zell said jogging away. Squall rubbed his temples trying to relieve some pressure.
"Squall? Are you okay?" Rinoa asked touching his arm concerned. Squall shook his head.
"No." He answered. "How am I going to tell my father that my sister is evil and that we may have to kill her." Rinoa wrapped her arms around Squall tightly.
"It will all work out Squall. If Edea and Seifer can break Ultimecia's control, then I'm sure if Charity tries, she can too."
"Ultimecia won't win." Torrence added. "We won't let her."
"Ultimecia will die this time. We'll make sure of it." Rinoa said with her head on Squall's shoulder. Zell returned and they all headed for Esthar.
