"Thunder" Squall said. A bolt appeared from nothing and went trough Fujin's body. Her body spasmed. If it wasn't for the restraining done by Quistis's whip, she would have flung herself at Squall.
"NEVER" she shouted. Squall gritted his teeth.
"Fire" A small fire burned trough her, but since it was magic fire, it didn't burn her clothes. Instead of the normal hasty battlespells Squall used the fire in such a way that they caused not as much damage, but hurt longer and more. The fire burned for a few seconds before dissapearing, and Fujin gasped for breath.
"Water" Squall said. His voice sounded like he was under the zombie spell. Fujin was caught in the water, but instead of being dropped the water didn't even go up with her, but stayed around her, even as she tried to beat her way out of it. But the water followed her contours, and she could never reach the edge. Her movements were getting frantic as she started to drown in the magic water. Squall released the magic and at the same moment casted another spell.
"Zombie" Just as the water around her vanished, Fujin felt her flesh grow cold. Her heart stopped, and so did her gasps for breath. She was sprawled on the floor. She howled with the strange eerie way of undead and people under the zombie spell. As she was drowning she had been looking out to her next breath or death, and now both were denied. She rose to attack Squall, rip his throat ot with her bare hands, but the Quistis' whip had been slinged across her neck again. She turned to Quistis and clawed at her. Squall kicked the woman's legs under her and casted once again.
"Stop" Fujin had frozen. Her body still on her knees as she had fallen. Her face was one of utmost misery.
"There, she'll feel like that for five minutes" Squall said "I hope this is enough" Quistis' face looked more tortured than Fujin's.
"I....I used...to....teach them...in class and....Wh...why did you make me do this Squall?"
"It's what has to be done"
"It's against garden regulations.... against every law....what..."
"To save the world and Rinoa, I'm prepared to lose my SeeD status and spend the rest of my life in prison. Without the world I'm dead, without Rinoa, worse."
"Rinoa doesn't want you to do this. She ran into the spaceship." Squall didn't flinch. His voice still sounded calm and cool. Cold even.
"She might lose her love, and I couldn't blame her, but I could never. We need Ellone to save her from Ultimecia for good, and making sure she stays alive is my task as a knight. It doesn't mean that I follow her every command." He checked his watch. Our 5 minutes will soon be up. Let's see if we can end this quick." As the magic ran out Fujin roared her scream to the sky. Squall took a bottle of holy water from his bag. "You want to breathe. I want to stop. Just spare yourself and me a lot of time and tell me where Ellone is. Fujin looked hungrily at the bottle, but gritted her teeth.
"NO" Squall raised his shoulders.
"The hard way than."
Zell, Rajin and the two others arrived at the small room with the single door that led to the iron bridge in the Ragnarok. Zell sounded tired, and uncharacteristically devoid of energy.
"Irvine, you stand by the door, keep your cure's ready, Selphie, you keep his hands behind his back." They obeyed his orders. Irvine looked terrified, Selphie looked like she could break out in tears. As she grabbed his arms, her face seemed to change however. It looked like that time she had eaten some of Zell's cooking. She had commented that she was going to wash the taste away with some Phoenix down. While she clearly didn't like this, she now looked more determent than before. Irvine saw it and tried to play cool again. His smile looked a bit shaky though, and he held his gun like he was trying to strangle it. Zell took off his gloves and grabbed Rajin's chin.
"Rajin. You know what the question is... now...GIVE ME THE ANSWER." Rajin seemed intimidated, but than sneered.
"Ya won't make me tell it ya...UNGH" Zell punched him in the face. "That's NOT what I want to hear YA KNOW?" he sneered.
"Now You may think that we're just kidding but we're not. You're going to tell me or I'll have to hurt you a lot and THAN you're gonna tell me. Got that?"
"Get lo..." A punch in the stomach.
"GOT THAT?"
"Get..." A punch under his chin. Rajin went on his toes, and only Selphie kept him from falling.
"Now, what were you saying?" Rajin gasped for breath.
"I..was saying...that you can go FU..." He was interupted by Zell's hand that slammed his face in his knee.
"If you don't have anything interesting to say, you should shut up." Zell said, his voice dripping with contempt.
"You....'re...the one te tell...me?"
"Well, if you don't like what I say, than hit me Rajin." He made a gesture to Selphie. She released him. "Now what, Rajin, what's the matter? You're not chickening out are ya?" Rajin screamed and threw a punch at Zell, who easily catched his fist and threw Rajin in the opposite wall of the small room. He than grabbed his hair and pulled him back to Selphie, who held his arms again. "That was fun" Zell said (he thought he'd have to throw up if he'd have to keep this up long.) "Heal him Irvine. time for round two" The wounds on the big man's face closed. Zell grabbed him by the hair again.
"Now that you see that I mean business, start talking. About Ellone of course."
"Ellone? Ellone is the one that Seifer wants, she has brown hair and...OW" His newly healed nose broke with a sickening crack. Blood flowed down.
"DON'T GO LITERAL ON ME." Zell yelled. "We know it makes me angry, but you DON'T want to make me angry now do you?" Rajin spit in Zell's face. A red drop beaded down his cheek. Zell rubbed it off, that cleaned his hand on Rajin's clothes. His smile looked a bit rabid. (actually Zell felt like finding a hole somewhere and never going out of it.) He took anther step towards Rajin, put one hand on his left shoulder and one on his right shoulder. "Selphie, hold him up." He said. Than he fastly raised his knee. Rajin didn't scream, it hurt to much.
"NEVER" she shouted. Squall gritted his teeth.
"Fire" A small fire burned trough her, but since it was magic fire, it didn't burn her clothes. Instead of the normal hasty battlespells Squall used the fire in such a way that they caused not as much damage, but hurt longer and more.
