Chapter 11
"They're attacking the Ragnarok!" Zell yelled as they arrived at the port. Squall, however, didn't need told, as it was obvious from the damage that they had been there. Inside, the sounds of gunfire, and yelling echoed out to them.
"Let's go, we have to protect the President Loire." Squall said. "Zell, you head back to the lab, just in case we can't stop them, and prepare a trap."
Zell noded, and ran off back in the direction of the lab.
"Let's hope they're weaker than the other guy." Squall thought to himself as the trio entered the ship.
Inside, they found just what they expected. People from both sides sprawled everywhere, most dead or dying. Even a few SeeDs they had brought along weren't good enough to match the enemy strength. Not a word needed spoken as they made there way through the ship to where the President was being kept. As soon as they entered inside, they found a sight they had dreaded. As soon as they entered, the man grabbed the President, and took him hostage.
"Release the President!" Squall ordered, readying his weapon. Irvine and Selphie did so as well.
The man threw Laguna into the corner, knocking him unconscious as his head hit the wall. He then turned his attention to the three people before him, and drew his sword.
"When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end, The goddess descends from the sky, Wings of light and dark spread afar, She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting." Genesis said.
"What?" Squall asked, confused.
"Is that some kind of poem?" Irvine asked.
Genesis smiled, and lunged at the trio. The three SeeDs dodged away, circling around him.
"Selphie, get the president out of here." Squall ordered. "Me and Irvine will take care of him."
Selphie ran to the president, and grabbed him. She found her exit blocked however.
"Irvine!" She yelled.
Irvine spun around, looking at her.
"I need an exit."
Irvine nodded, and shot out a window, then turned his attention back to Genesis, who had locked swords with Squall.
"Squall, get back. I can't get a shot." Irvine said.
Squall pushed away from Genesis, giving Irvine his chance. Gunfire rang out, as Irvine shot. Genesis quickly jumped to the side, the shot hitting the wall behind him. His face hardening, Genesis waved his hand, summoning up flame. He threw it at at Irvine, hitting him and knocking him to the ground. He then turned his attention to Squall. He quickly ran his hand along the blade of his sword, making it glow. Squall had no idea what kind of power Genesis had, but he jumped forward, swinging at him. Genesis parried, spinning past him, and brought his sword up to strike. Squall barely managed to block the swing, The two weapons meant, locked together. Genesis smiled, pushing forward. To Squall's dismay, the sword began to cut through his gunblade. He quickly let it go, and jumped back just as the blade shattered.
