Seifer is dead, destroyed by a more powerful force than even Ultimecia, or at least is what they expect. What is this new force? Will they be able to defeat it? What is their motivation and purpose? Read on!

Selphie jumped in the pilots seat, not exactly sure where to go. Irvine, as always, was standing right besides her. Zell and Qusitis both sat behind Selphie, and Squall walked up to Selphie. "Alright Selphie.... let's take her somewhere secluded. Rajin and Fujin aren't the kind to stick around with town folk. Take a sweep of everything south of Esthar, see if you can find them. If not, tell me. I'm going to take a bit of a rest." Selphie gave him a thumbs up, and took off. "Here we go!!!!" she said, like normal. Squall showed a faint smile, and left. Rinoa was close behind. "Where are you going Squall?" she said, inquisitively. Squall shrugged. "Somewhere quiet... I need to think..." he said, walking away. Rinoa was quick to catch up. "Mind if I join you?" Squall smiled, and with a sparkle in his eye, shrugged. "I guess you can come.... you can help me think... or not think, whichever you think I need to do..." She smiled, and put her arms around him. "So, MR. LEADER Squall is going to take advice from me?" she said, with a coy grin. "Truth be told Rinoa, you know me better than I know myself" With arm's around each other, they walked to the cargo bay.
"Why Seifer? Why attack Seifer? I mean, did he attack first maybe? Maybe the thing didn't care..... it just wanted to kill. *sigh* Maybe I'm reading into this too much. Maybe it's nothing more than a strong monster that ran into Seifer, he attacked, and lost. I doubt that, but I suppose anything is possible. Sorceresses, Time Compression... we've seen it all.... why does it have to happen to me" Rinoa interrupted Squall's thinking by putting her finger over his lips. "Just shut up Squall" she said, smile on her face. Squall laughed. "I wasn't even talking, what are you talking about?" Rinoa spoke softly. "Your mind was talking too much for me.... I think I could hear it" Squall seemed intrigued. "Really? My mind was talking too much? I've been known to do that, I suppose." he said, putting his arms around her. She sighed, pleased with life. "You know Squall, the best times are sometimes before the storm......" she trailed off, knowing Squall would understand. He moved her face to be in front of his, and pulled her close. "Whatever," he said with a grin. She moved close and touched his lips to hers. There was a shock of electricity, and both stiffened up for a minute. After the shock, they both laughed and finished their kiss. Both sighed in silent bliss.
"SQUALL! SQUALL! GET UP HERE! I haven't found them, but I found something odd.... come see!" Squall grunted as he got up, and left Rinoa sleeping, like she was before. She had alot on her mind about Seifer, best to leave her there. He slowly trotted up the stairs to the elevator. Everyone was huddled around the window. Squall wondered what was so odd. He walked over to the window, and his eyes widened. He almost chuckled to himself, but it was very real. "Now, there's something you don't see everyday.... at least not in this time. I think you should land..." his words were cut off by Rinoa's coming in, very sleepily. She walked over to the window, without saying a word, and laughed at what she saw. "I must still be sleeping, because that looks like Tiamat!" She rubbed her eyes, and looked again. Tiamat didn't disappear, but rather, looked at her. Her eyes widened, and she backed up. "But, but, we destroyed him in the future, didn't we?" Everyone was thinking the same thing, but nobody seemed to be doubting it. They had killed it, but now, it's walking around here. Squall sighed. "Take her down, we need to beat that before something happens........" Selphie gulped, as she brought it down. "Here we go," she said rather timidly. Tiamat waited for it to land, almost enjoying the moment, it's moment for revenge, perhaps. Squall, Rinoa, and Zell all piled out and ran to the monster, as the rest stood back in case they were needed. They were all in fighting stance.... and then, Tiamat attacked.
The attack was fierce, much more than that of Tiamat from the future. It was quick to attack, and forced Squall to one knee. He answered by using the Renzokuken, but he didn't have the time to get the Lion-Heart in, only the Fated Circle. While he was dazed, Zell took the time to bash on him some, while Rinoa cured Squall with the many Curaga's she had drawn. As Tiamat continued to attack, Squall and company began the normal procedure. Zell had cast Meltdown, while Squall put on Aura, and Rinoa used Bahamaut. Tiamat fought briefly against the G/F, but Bahamaut was quick to gain the advantage, and used his Mega Flare, lighting up the sky! After Bahamut receded back, the door was open for Squall. He dazzled all once again by using the Lion-Heart! Tiamat appeared down for the count, but it sprang back for a few final attacks. Zell had to finish him with a triple Ultima, which made the large Dragon monster fall for good. However, the damage was done. All 3 combatants were battered and bruised, returning to the ship. And they were all left with the same burning question. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?"
