A/N: I just wanted to let everyone know that this MIGHT get a bit confusing, so if you wanna get some helpful hints, go to my journal, www.deadjournal.com/~mistica, and read to figure some stuff out. Also, I have a poll going for some names. By the way, again I had a massive amount of brain farts (boy, do they smell...) and now I'm hooked on lemonade, Starbucks' Chocolate Brownie Frappacino, and full of ideas. Now, it's off to writing I go! Hi-ho!

Chapter Seven

"So," he said softly, "you want me to send you on a two man mission to defeat some evil spirits?"

"That should sum it all up." He nodded his head after what he said, his gelled up bangs bobbing back and forth. "I mean, it is Quistis' life on the line!"

Squall sighed, shaking his head. "I just don't get how you'll be able to do it. We barely beat Sorceress Ultimecia with six people." I cringed when he mentioned sorceress. "And four elemental evil spirits trying to kill Quistis? Zell, I'm disappointed in your neglect in logic."

"Well, Squall, we did have to sign the agreement right then and there," I mumbled out. "Not like we wanted to do this. I mean, come on! Me, on a mission alone, with Zell?"

Rinoa giggled, nodding her head. "Seifer's got a point. Be a bit easier on them."

"Tch! Like I wanted to be partners with you!"

"Then why don't you cry about it, Chicken Wuss!" I heard the rest of the group sigh in frustration.

"You wanna say that to my face, big shot!"

"Fine!" Squall shouted out. "You two can go on the mission!" He slumped in his chair, rubbing his temples. I flicked my hand nonchalantly towards the Commander. "Just don't get yourselves killed."







So off we went. We had to pry the Ragnarok from Selphie's grip, but with Zell's look-over-at-the-pretty-butterfly plan, we managed to get away. We had fought the whole time. Especially about where to look next. "I'm telling you, it's at the Deep Sea Factory! Where else would a water spirit be other than the water!" he shouted softly as the Ragnarok hovered in the air.

"I don't know! Think about it, though! Wouldn't Pyralis be in the Fire Cavern of all places rather than near water?" I argued back.

"Fisherman's Horizon is a very humid and heated place during the summer," he growled out.

"So? The Northern Continent is freezing cold all year round. What the hell's your point?"

Zell groaned loudly. "Fine! Where would the Sorceress' lapdog like to go?"

I grimaced greatly, rubbing the hilt of my Hyperion. "Call me that again and this will be a one man mission." I saw him lean into his seat more. His eyes were filled with fear. "I say we go to the Fire Cavern." He was prepared to argue. "I have a feeling Nen will be there."

So we flew towards the Fire Cavern. We walked off the Ragnarok and straight into the cavern. "Let's think logically here." I nodded in agreement. The sweltering heat made it almost impossible to come in. I sighed softly, remembering how Quistis led me through here. The whole time I looked at her scrumptious...my thoughts were rudely interrupted as Zell yelled at me. "Seifer!"

"What!"

"Are you going to think logically or just drool all day long?" I quickly wiped at my mouth. "We have to think about why we're in here."

It finally hit me. Every fire den had a hot water spring. I knew exactly where it was. I darted off past the heated rocks, hearing Zell's heavy footsteps behind me. I finally slowed down as I heard the trickling water. "I knew it was here!"

"Why is there water..."

"Because every cave and fire den has at least one spring." No more than a few more steps did a large rock formation step up. We went straight into the battle, unprepared. I pulled out my sword, quickly dodging the falling rocks. I turned over to Zell who nodded his head. We were both prepared for this now. I silently raised my arm, green glitter floating around it. "SCAN!" I shouted.

Quickly, the statistics came up. Its name was Ogre, strength pretty low, but its defense for both magic and attack were high. The life of it was five hundred thousand. It was an Earth elemental, making it weak against fire. Something caught my eye. The draw ability showed up. It was a blue magic!

"Zell!"

"The blue magic!"

I nodded and raised my hand. "Draw Wood's Earth!" Surprisingly, it came straight towards me, but soon disappeared. "Zell, call Ifrit while I do another draw on it!"

He nodded towards me, quickly summoning the large fire demon. He roared out, flames flying at the rock formation. The order went through, taking off five thousand damage. I quickly did draw again, but the ability wasn't there. "Is it there?" Zell shouted out.

"No! I guess I drew it!" Quickly, I felt my limit break pop up. I grinned at the beast that was ready to do earthquake. "Fire Cross!" I cried out. Quickly, I aimed my target, grinning evilly. "No Mercy!" I leapt up into the air, slashing at the enemy. I came back to my spot, breathing softly. Quickly, his points tumbled down from four hundred ninety five thousand, down to three hundred forty five thousand. I breathed in softly, prepared for the attack. Earthquake was caste upon us, but it stopped in mid spell. A cascade of water tumbled down on the creature. I turned over to Zell who shrugged. The enemy was gone and replaced by a beautiful water figure.

"Seifer and Zell I presume?" We both nodded at her sweet voice. "My name is Nen. I'm sure you've both met my sister, Pyralis."

"Oh yea, did we meet her!" Zell mumbled out. We were out of the battle and walked closer to her.

"Curaga!" she called out. A blue light surrounded us, filling our health points.

"Hey, thanks!" Zell said cheerily. I rolled my eyes.

"Well," she said and smiled at both of us. Her eyes were sapphire blues, like Quistis', but her body was blue and shapely, like Shiva. Except, she wore a lot more clothing. Her gown was a light shade of blue, tumbling down like her soft blue hair. She was beautiful. "I'm here to tell you more about your quest."

I grinned. "I told you I had a feeling of this place," I said to Zell. Nen giggled softly.

"Tch..."

"Well, I must say I'm proud of you two. Your quest is going to get harder, especially since you have my sisters to face. As well as our Queen."

Zell shook his head. "No one ever mentioned we had to kill a queen!"

Nen sighed. "Hence why I'm telling you now. The main reason for your quest is that you have to find the final four blue magic. Two of which, you've found already."

"Yea, what happened to them?" I asked.

"Well, the get sent to where Quistis is at. Once you find all four, you'll be able to warp to where she is. But, I think I should stop. I told you plenty. Meet my earthly sister somewhere where you'd be surprised."

With that, a puddle of water shifted away. This quest was getting more and more confusing.



A/N: I know...it sucks right now only because I'm losing the effect of my lemonade.
