A/N: Okay, I think
it was kind of obvious from what happened to Squall. Yep, I make everything obvious, huh? Yeah, Squall turned
evil…(hope that isn't a spoiler to anyone that didn't get the point yet ^_^')…I
just happen to have "Writer Who Makes Everything Obvious" stamped all over my
face. ^_^' Anyway, enjoy the story and review nicely. Oh yeah, what happened to Seifer??? Hm……..
"Hyne…" Zell
gasped, as he stumbled to the floor. Squall's eyes were a color of crimson, the color of blood, bearing an
evil, manipulated face.
"I am the dark
knight," Squall's deep voice rang out the area. "…the dark knight of Ultimecia." (A/N: eh heh heh. That kinda sounds corny, huh? ^_^')
"Say what?!" Zell exclaimed.
Squall walked over
to Rinoa, who was being consoled by Irvine. She looked up with confused eyes. "Squall?"
He looked at her
back, with no expression, and took out his gunblade and raised it high.
"Squall, what are
you doing?" Rinoa said.
Irvine retaliated.
"Squall, whut the hell are you doing?" With a swift move, the SeeD commenced to swing his blade to Rinoa. Quickly, Irvine got in the way, and knocked
the gunblade off.
"Whut the hell are
you doing, Squall?! That's Rinoa you're
trying to slice!!!"
"You dumb fool,"
Squall spoke. "I am to eliminate the
sorceress." He attempted to raise his
gunblade again, when Zell from behind and punched in square in the neck. Squall quickly hit back at Zell on the face,
causing Zell to double over in pain.
"AHHHH, DAMMIT
SQUALL!!! WHAT'S GOT INTO YOU?" Zell retorted, covering his bleeding nose.
"He's under
Ultimecia's control, chicken-wuss," a voice called out. Zell turned around, and saw a smirking
blonde. "Or you can say…..he's become a
sorceress's lapdog."
Squall turned
around, and began charging into Seifer with his Flame Saber.
"What the?" Seifer blocked it with his Hyperion. Sparks flew as steel kissed steel. "Damitt Squall, get off!" He kicked him off, and Squall toppled
over. Squall stood up and glared at
him, then at Rinoa, who was wrapped under Irvine's arms for protection. With fury realizing that he failed to
eliminate the sorceress, he sprinted upward into the air and disappeared into a
black orb.
Rinoa began to tear
up. "Why?" Seifer walked up to her, but Zell blocked him from coming
close.
"Hey, go on easy,
will ya? I'm not gonna do anything."
"Tch. You're still the sorceress's lapdog. Why should we trust you?"
"At least I'm not
the one that punched you square on the face, tried to slice and dice up Rinoa,
and come charging into you." Irvine
looked at him blankly.
"Ya know, he does
have a p—"
"Shut up
Irvine." Zell interrupted. He looked at the smirking blonde. "I don't care what you say, or what you did,
but you're the one who went into all this mess." With that, he went over to pick up Rinoa along with Irvine, and
headed to get back to Esthar, leaving Seifer behind.
"Kurse all
SeeDs. Soon, their pitiful lives will
be over. Heheh," the powerful sorceress snickered. She looked over at Squall, who was standing
next to her. "Squall, my humble
knight." The dark knight looked over to
her, his eyes blazing red.
"I will not fail
you again, my queen." He kissed her
hand.
"Soon, we will rule
future together."
"Yo!! Laguna!" Zell shouted at the top of his lungs, as he
waited with Rinoa and Irvine in a room. Laguna emerged from behind a door.
"Zell! Irvine!
Rin—hey, Rinny, why the long face?" He
cocked his head to one side, staring at her.
"Laguna," she
began. "Squall…there's something wrong
with him."
"What?"
Irvine cut in. "Well, like, Squall said he was the dark
knight of Ultimecia. So, like, he was
gonna kill the sorceress, Rinoa."
Laguna has a
serious look on his face. "Wait, wait,
wait…You're telling me he's the sorceress's lap—"
"Knight. I rather not let us refer to him as a
lapdog." Rinoa interjected.
"So, uh, Laguna, do
you have any idea what the hell is going on right now?"
"Um….no."
"…"
"But I think you
should try asking Dr. Odine. I'll call
him in right now." He pressed a button
from a intercom device and asked for Dr. Odine. Within minutes, a knock came upon the door.
"Come on in,"
Laguna replied.
"Ah, velcom
SeeDs! I've veard you ver coming. Vat seems to be ze problem?" Zell just can't stand his accent, and he
snickered inside.
"Dr. Odine…a friend
of ours, was, so to speak, under control of a sorceress called Ultimecia."
"ULTIMECIA?"
"Yes, that's what I
said. Anyway, he was to eliminate Rinoa
under Ultimecia's command. But why
would Ultimecia want to kill Rinoa?"
"Well, it'z because
she doezn't vant to deal vith another sorceress anymore. She doezn't vant to control or deal vith
it. So, Rinoa iz no uze to her, and she
vill be eliminated if pozzible."
"Do you know a way
to get Squall back normal again?" Zell asked.
"Yez, there iz za
way. All you have to do is to defeat
Ultimecia. That iz all."
"That', like, it?"
Irvine spoke.
"Yez. BUT, she iz from ze future. You have to get there by ze time comprezion."
The three of them
looked at him blankly. "Um…"Irvine
began. "Exactly…how?"
"That iz very eazy.
I've been verrking on thiz project that openz za portal to ze future."
"Rrrrright," Irvine
said sarcastically.
"It iz true. Now, to get you guyz started, I vill have to
zet the calculationz to zet the portal into ze future, and you vill be off!"
"OOOOHHHHH
YEEEAAAAAHHH!!!! It's time to kick some sorceress butt!!!!!!!" Zell cried. Rinoa looked at him. "Oh, uh, no offense, Rinoa. Let'z head to ze, *cough*, I mean, let's
head to the Ragnarok!"
[hides behind
table] oh please!!! Don't flame me! Yeah, I know this is kinda crappy for this
chapter. I'm hoping I'll write better
for the next one. ^_^' I tried my best to get Dr. Odine's accent
correctly. Did I do it well? Oh well, please review nicely. ^^ Thanks a
bunch. Chapter 3 will be up soon, so
bear with me!
