We stepped off of the airship, which Zell named the "Moomba," and walked to the back, where we seen Dr. Odine.
" Aha. I zee you've brought ze sorcerezz." There was no sorceress here.. What the hell was he talking about...? I hate that man's accent. I really do. Well, everyone stayed silent.
"Come, ze pretty von." Oh! He must have thought Quistis was the sorceress! Man, this guy had an awful memory.
"We aren't giving her up-without a fight!" I said, finally. Quistis looked at me funny, and I whispered "I know what I'm doing" when really, I didn't.
"Very vell, You do not know what you are getting into."
The battle began. Zell cast Aura on me, and I preformed relentless numbers of Renzukuen. Zell also cast Aura on Quistis. She used her Blue Magic. Odine, the so-called "Sorceress Expert" mistaked it for Sorceress magic. He did these odd magic attacks that reduced all of our HP to 1, but in the end, when Quistis cast Shockwave pulsar, and Odine fell to the ground. I walked slowly over to him, and stepped on his back with one foot, and heard a sickening crunch. I was careful not to kill him-yet.
"What do you want with her?"
"...Vhy should I tell you?"
"Squall, man," Zell said. " You aren't going to get a straight answer."
"Then he dies." I said.
"Vait! Vait!"
"What is it?!" I was getting sick and tired of his games. They had started to cost me lives... Thats right too... Quistis had gotten injured pretty badly back at GARDEN, had anyone died? I mean, I seen several people K.Od but...killed?
"I vant the socerezz so I can..." He coughed up some blood.
"Send her into space and conceal her there, like Adel?" Asked Quistis.
"No... I vill kill her, and get her powerz."
"How? You aren't..."
"Female..." Zell finished.
"Zere is a legend, that a sorcerer can ve born, if villing and able."
"What?!" That was impossible no....
"Varevell." And Odine disapeared...
"What?! Come back, you coward! Dammit!" Yelled Zell. Well, I almost fell over, since I had had my foot on him, trying to keep him from squirming away, but he disapeared...
"...What do we do now, Squall?" Quistis asked. I tossed my phone to Zell.
"Zell, call Selphie, tell her what's up."
"Will do!"
"Quistis, cast curaga on Zell."
"Okay." I stood there trying to figure out what to do. Should we go get Rinoa? No... she was safe where she was. After Quistis finished casting Curaga she walked over to me.
"Hey, Quistis... I seen many SeeDs KOd at GARDEN, did anyone...die?" If anyone had died, I would never forgive myself ever. That was a new thing about me, after I met Rinoa... I started to feel sorry for things...
"I don't think so." Oh! Thank Hyne.
"Ok. Well..." Zell walked over.
"Okay, all done!" he announced.
"Okay then. Everyone... we are going to Odine's lab in Esthar, and we'll see if he is there, or if there is anything there to our interest."
"Okay! Everyone aboard the "L.L moomba!" Said Zell. L.L Moomba...? Where in Hyne's name does the L.L come in?
"Zell," asked Quistis " Whats with the 'L.L?'"
"Laguna Loire, of course!" And we boarded the "L.L Moomba." We flew top speed into Esthar and parked a mile outside the lab. We walked in, only getting attacked twice.
"No one is here." I said. I looked around, looking for papers, a hint, anything. When suddenly I heard Zell's voice.
"Dammit! Frickin' hell! Lookit this!!!" He sounded very upset. Quistis and I walked over. Zell read aloud.
"'For a man to obtain powers from a sorceress, the sorceress must give her own life. It can not be taken by anyone purposfully. For example, the sorceress must die for one she loves. (I stepped back, a little surprised) This must happen when the man who wishes to obtain the sorceress' powers must be the one to attempt to kill the sorceress' love.' ~The Book Of Hyne." No one said anything, and all eyes were turned to me.
"The world... Odine... he... if he gets those powers, the world... destruction." Thats all I could manage. I tore out of the lab, and ran as fast as my feets would carry me across the Esthar plains. I ran out of breath. The only way Rinoa will die... is if I'm still alive... But if I'm dead, there is no hope, and Rinoa...and the world will be safe... Should I die here? I swallowed hard and knelt on the ground dizzy, and out of breath. Quistis and Zell came up to me...
"I... I have to die..."
"No! Squall, you don't..." Quistis said, kneeling next to me.
"Yes, don't you get it!? If I'm dead, there is no point... Rinoa can't die, trying to save me, if I'm dead already, now can she? So, Odine will give up."
"..." Zell paused, and sat crossed-legged on the ground in front of me. "Squall, man. If we kill Odine, it will all stop."
"But how are we going to find him?"
"We will!" Assured Quistis.
"If we don't...."
"We'll see, man... We'll see."
