Unpredictable Endings

Disclaimer: I don't own FF8. Another thing, an person commented on the
last chapter as becoming a cheap hentai. That's not gonna
happen. I don't write Hentai fics anyway. And that was the
only chapter that will contain that type of sexual content. The
next chapters may have some mature themes. Okay, I'm rambling.
On with the fic!

Last chapter: What Griffon does on his free nights was revealed. Rinoa finally
gets her Knight back and there is a new mission to destroy
Deling City. Will the mission be carried out? Will the new
President Caraway listen to his daughter? Find out in this chapter
of 'Unpredictable Endings.'

Chapter 6: The Fall of Deling

We landed the Ragonark on the outskirts of Deling City so that we wouldn't
be noticed by the gathering soldiers. The crew ran over to the south wall to the secret
entrance that Caraway put in especially for SeeD. As I was about to activate the door
Squall stopped me.

" Don't you think he would of thought that we would use this way to get in?," he
asked. I thought for a moment then decided against the notion. " Don't you think that he
would think that once we heard the order we'd come to try and clear it up?," I contradicted.
Squall stopped his argument and allowed me to open the door. As it opened, we noticed no
soldiers were present. " Told ya," I said smugly. " You were right this time Rin, but this
could just be a trap," Seifer said. I smirked. " So you and Squall finally agree on something.
this is a historical event," I mused. Seifer and Squall sighed in irritation. " No time to crack
jokes Rinoa. We still have a mission to carry out," Quistis said. I nodded as we continued
on our journey.

As we looked around the city we saw Galbadia Garden hovering in the water. ' Oh
no. Griffon must have given the order for Galbadia to assist if anything started,' I thought.
This thought convinced me to strenthen my tactics to reach my father.

We reached the Presidential Palace that was surprisingly unguarded except for one
solitary soldier. As we approached she didn't sound an alert but stopped us. " President
Caraway has been expecting you," she said. " What were your orders?," Squall asked her.
" To not attack until he sees his daughter and the former Commander of SeeD," she replys.
" Do you know why he requested to see me?," Squall asked. She chuckled. " He said you
would question that order. He said it was because he trusted only you," she stated. Squall
nodded in understanding. She motioned for us to continue as she went back to her positon.

Walking through the palace, we noticed that it didn't look so bleak and feel so cold
as it did when the sorceresses invaded the place. The hallway was a straight shot to the room
where my father stayed. We entered the room to see Caraway sitting at his desk facing us. His
eyes met mine. " President Caraway," I said. He stood from his desk but didn't move from it.
" Sorceress Rinoa and Squall Leonhart, please step forward," he commanded. We did as he
asked. He sat back down at the desk as we approached. " I wasn't going to initiate the war until
I saw you two," he said. " And that's suppose to make us feel better right?!," I shouted. Squall
shushed me until I calmed down.

" You sound as if you plan to go through with this war whether we showed up or not,"
Squall said. Caraway chuckled. " You always were good at analyzing someone Squall. The years
have changed you," he said. Squall frowned. " We don't have time for tea time discussions. What
you plan to do is suicide," Squall said calmly. " Maybe, but the tyranny of Garden has got to end.
My soldiers are aware that they will not make it out alive. I have already transported all of the
civilians out of Deling. The city will fall but I won't go down without a fight," he retorted. " But
you'll be killed!," I screamed at him. He smiled. " You actually care whether I die or not Rinoa?
I never thought you would again," he said almost to himself. " Of course I care. I may not like
you but I'll always love you," I said.

He smiled again as he stood from his desk walking over to me. He held open his arms
and like the child I used to be, I hugged him tightly. When we seperated he went over to the
intercom system. " ATTACK GALBADIA GARDEN!!," he shouted. Our eyes widened as we
ran over to the window. Galbadian soldiers had already invaded the city and first blood was already
being spilled. We turned back to Caraway to see him standing in front of Squall.

" I have a favor to ask of you Leonhart. I'm sure you had orders to kill me. I would only
feel comfortable if you did the honor of taking my life," he said. " You're taking the easy way
out Caraway. You're a coward," Squall said. " I know," he said. Squall raised his gunblade and was
about to carry out his deathwish until I stopped him. " No. Squall, you can kill someone in cold blood?,"
I asked. " It's better that I did it than some soldier that doesn't know anything about him. Besides, I
owe him," Squall said. My brow furrowed in confusion. " What do you owe him?," I asked. He
grinned a little. " You," Squall replied.

Squall turned back to his target. " Say hi to Julia for Rin okay," Squall said. Caraway smiled.
" Sure thing," he said. Caraway closed his eyes as the room grew silent. The only sound was of Squall's
gunblade making contact with Caraway's flesh. I watched as the blade pierced his through his chest and
reappeared out his back. Tears were streaming down my face. " Daddy!!!," I screamed. I was about to
run to his side but Zell grabbed me and held me tightly. I writhed in his grasp. Squall pulled the blade out
of Caraway and lowered him to the floor. He coughed up a bit of blood as he took his last breaths. " She...
called me... 'daddy'...," he said as his eyes rolled back into his head and his body slumped over to the side.

The room was silent as Squall closed Caraway's glazed over eyes. He layed the body on the
floor then stood up. Blood covered his black wifebeater and leather pants but he disregarded it. The room
stayed silent as we all stared at Caraway's dead body. " Commander Trepe," a SeeD called on her
communicator. " Speak up," Quistis said. " We haven't recived your order to begin attacking. Fifty of
our troops are injured," the SeeD said. " Not killed?," she questioned. " Of course not ma'am," the SeeD
said. Quistis looked over at Caraway's body then at us. " Commander?," the SeeD called. " The President's
dead by the hands of Squall Leonhart. Kill the soldiers and burn Deling to the ground," she ordered. " Yes
Ma'am," the SeeD said ending the connection.

She turned back to the group. " Let's get out of here," she said. We saluted. " Yes Ma'am," we
said in unison. She lead the group as we began to follow her out. I looked back over at the dead body
of my father. 'I love you Daddy,' I thought. I blew him a kiss then ran out of the office trailing after the
others.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

" Was the mission successful?," Griffion asked. " Yes sir. All of the soldiers were killed and
the president is dead," Quistis said. He chuckled. " Good, good. May I ask who killed him?," he said.
" I did," I said from where I stood. Griffon had a satisfied look on his face. " I thought you said you
wouldn't follow my orders?," he said. " I didn't follow your orders. I did it out of a request from Caraway
himself. I'd never do a damn thing for you," I retorted. He laughed manically now. " Still don't like me?
Well, time shall change that. Until the next mission, farewell my Elite," he said. He stood from the table
leaving the room.

" That sick bastard," Rinoa said softly. She stood from the table. Her eyes were now a full
blazing yellow. " I could kill him and no one would know," she said. I went over to her placing my hands
on her shoulders. Her eyes slowly reverted back to their normal chocolate brown color. " He's not what
he seems to be. I think he's more evil than Ultimacea. We have to find out exactly how evil that is," I
said. Sighing, she placed her arms around me. " I don't have any family left Squall. They're all dead. I'm
alone," she said. " No you're not alone. I'm here. We're all here. We'll take him down and save the world
like we always do," I said. She stayed silent as I rocked her in my arms. The others stayed silent as well.

The door creaked open and we half expected to see Griffon but a figure in a brown cloak was
standing there. By the figure I could tell it was a woman even though the cloak hid most of her features.
" Interesting speech. But how can you kill something you know nothing about?," she inquired. She had a
sweet voice but a cynical one at that. Zell stood up and went to the door. " Who is you?," he asked getting
into a fighting stance. She chuckled lightly as she took the hood off of her head. She had vibrant green eyes
and flaming red hair with orange streaks at the ends with a soft looking face and full pink lips.

" My names' Tigeria, but you can call me 'Tiger.' I know how to help you get rid of Griffon," she
said. I seperated from Rinoa and approached the girl. " And how would you know how to do that?," I
inquired. " Because I was the one who brought him back," she said.
