Friend or Foe? By Liz.P
I heard a crash. I ran toward the source of the sound. I found Zidane stumbling like a drunk all over the place. He had slammed into the castle's iron gate. I went back to my guard post.
"Beatrix, do you know why Zidane's acting so strangely?" Steiner asked.
"Probably had too much to drink" I answered.
"I don't think so. He was sane just a second ago. I remember him asking if Mikoto had stopped by lately. He seemed to want to see her, so I invited her by." Steiner said.
I smiled. Steiner has warmed up to Zidane much more after fighting alongside him against Kuja.
A boat arrived and a golden haired Genome jumped out.
"Good day, Lord Steiner, Lady Beatrix, I hear Zidane summoned me?"
"Yes, he's-" My voice was cut off by a loud shout.
Mikoto, Steiner, and I ran into the Ballroom. There was a low wall that seperated a few tables from the main floor. Zidane was standing out on the main floor, attacking everything he could see like a madman.
I crouched behinf the wall. Steiner to my right,and Mikoto to my left. I watched at Zidane's hair lengthened and turned a white/violet color. His skin pailed, his tail grew longer and turned silver. He grew about a foot taller and his already muscular body became more so. Soon, he looked like an almost identical twin to Kuja except for the clothes he was wearing. Those looked exactly the same, except ,somehow, they still fit him in his larger size.
I heared Steiner gasp. I was as shocked as he, if not more. I glanced at Mikoto to find her on the verge of tears.
Glancing over the wall again, I saw Zidane flick his now silver hair over his shoulder, smile evilly, and walk out the door.
I checked to be sure no one else was in the room, grabbed Steiner and Mikoto's attention, we stood up.
"What happened, Mikoto?" I asked, if there was anyone that knew Genome's habits well, it was Mikoto.
"Well, It all started a while ago when Garland created Kuja. Kuja once looked like me and how Zidane used to look. Once he became "of age," he...evolved to become Garland's Angel Of Death." Mikoto explained.
"So your saying that all Genomes will one day look like Kuja?" Steiner asked.
"No, it requires a soul to evolve like this. When Kuja was created, Garland knew that he was but a prototype to be replaced later by a stronger soul. Therefore, when Kuja became "Of Age" Zidane was created. That way, Kuja would die when Zidane became "Of Age"
"So, in otherwords, Zidane has turned into Kuja and plans to take over Gaia?" I said
"Exactly" Mikoto said.
Steiner, who had been quiet all this time, spoke up. "We should warn the queen!"
We heard a long scream form upstairs.
"Too late." I said grimly. "We have to see if she's ok!"
I drew my "Save The Queen" and ran for the Queen's quarters. Steiner closely followed.
Opening the wide oak doors, I saw what I had dreaded. The Queen lay unconscious on her bed.
