Disclaimer: I dont own FFVIII or the characters/storyline. Blah Blah you know the deal. Dont sue me :D
~How the hell? Greiver is dead, we destroyed him... its not supposed to be real anyway! Dammit.. I wish the gang was here..~
Squall called on Quezocotl, then had to grin as Kiros slashed Griever with his katanas and Laguna let loose more bullets into the gaurdian force. He hadnt seen the two in action for a long time... and it was especially nice to see them fight without actually being in their minds at the time.
Finally he let loose Quezocotl, shocking Griever with a massive bolt of lightening. He struck his father with a massive claw, and Kiros prepared to cast curaga on him, but Laguna grinned at him and shook his head, then unleashed Desperado on Griever.
Griever roared in anger, then suddenly cast ultima on Squall, bringing him to his knees. Squall gripped his gunblade tighter, a look of anger on his face, and aura glowed brighter around him as he began to unleash his most powerful renzokukan skill, Lionheart. He unleashed a fury of attacks on the guardian force, and finally it slumped over on its side, seemingly destroyed.
Squall stood there for a moment, panting, then slowly slumped to the ground, totally and utterly exhausted.
"Squall!" Laguna cried, running to his side and kneeling in the dirt next to him. He quickly cast Curaga and helped Squall to his feet.
"Thanks." He said briskly, trying not to see the concern on his fathers face as he staggered a bit. He looked over at Greiver, then shook his head angrily.
"Its not dead. It shouldn't even have been alive in the first place." Squall said angrily, shaking his head in disgust and heading over to finish off the job. Just as he had raised his sword to strike the beast one last time to finish it off, Greiver raised its massive head and opened its jaws, emitting a massive blast of energy, even stronger than the blast that was Bahamut's major attack.
"Squall!" Laguna screamed, and then was lost in a bath of light.
It seemed forever before he could see again, and when he finally blinked his eyes into focus, he found that Griever and Squall had both dissepeared, leaving nothing but the rubble of the destroyed wing behind and Squall's gunblade, lying in the dust.
"Squall...?" Laguna said, running over to where the gunblade lay. He picked it up slowly, as if afraid to find something else with the weapon. He examined it slowly, then almost grinned when he saw the guardian force engraved in the sword.
~Good... no blood... but where is he?!~
"Kiros, Ward, did you see anything?" He asked them quickly. Kiros looked stunned, but slowly came to himself, and shook his head slowly.
"I dont know... the light.. it blinded me. Im sorry man." He said at length, shaking his head. Ward stood behind him, his face a mask of conflicting emotions.
"Its okay... he... he's probably allright." Laguna said, his voice only quivering slightly. He looked around the gathered people, most of them shaking or sitting on the ground, stunned.
"Come on guys. We have to get this place cleaned up. Kiros, organize the people and see whos hurt. Ward, gather the medics. We'll look for Squall as soon as we get everything back in order."
He looked troubled, and didnt want to wait that long but he had responsibilities to his people and knew that he would have to start the reconstruction of the lost wing right away.
~Squall.. please be allright...~
Authors note: What happened to Squall? Will he be allright? Why is this story called "Understanding"? Well, hopefully you'll find out in the next chapter... :D So please review! Thanks!
