A Love Lost

A/N: -_-' Sorry if I kept you guys hanging there. Well, here's chapter 6. Please R & R.

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

A swirl of blue, purple, and yellow colors appeared before Squall's eyes. Gradually, scenes from the present appeared in front of him, but then started to go backwards. From Odine's office, from the incidents in the Infirmary, where Rinoa lay lifeless in Squall's arms, and finally, the battle of the true form of Ultimecia. The scene froze, and Squall was sucked into it.

"What the-" He stumbled to the ground.

"Squall!! Squall!! Get up!" a voice cried.

He stood up quickly and looked at the source of the voice. A raven-haired girl looked at him worriedly.

"Squall, are you all right?"

"…"

"Squall, you okay!? It's like you never saw me or something. Hurry up and concentrate!"

"!!….Rinoa," he felt overjoyed. He wanted to hug her so badly. You're alive! You're here, with me.

"Yo Squall! C'mon, let's finish this!" Zell cried from behind him. Rinoa, Zell, and Selphie were fighting up against Ultimecia.

"Mwahahahaha," Ultimecia laughed. "Kurse all SeeDs." She cast Firaga on Selphie.

"Ugh," Selphie grunted. Rinoa stepped up and fired her Blaster Edge. Zell performed his martial arts.

"OOHHH YEEEAAH! Kiss the fists o' mine!!!!"

"Hahahahaha……think YOU can beat me? The most powerful sorceress? I'll send you to oblivion!!!"

"Uh oh." The sorceress raised her arms high up, concentrating, and released Flare, sending it to Zell. "Ugh. Squall…!" he fell to the ground. "Man, I'm done for. S-see you soon." He collapsed to the floor, knocked out.

"Zell!" Rinoa cried. She quickly summoned Life on him before Ultimecia compressed him into time. But it was too late.

"HAHAHAHA!" With a wave of Ultimecia's hand, an angel appeared above Zell's unconscious body, taking him into another time.

"Zell! No!" Selphie cried. Irvine appeared to take his place. "Irvy, be careful."

Using his Exeter, he shot Ultimecia, which merely harmed her. Ultimecia cast another Flare, on Squall. Quickly using his limit break, he managed to get a lot of damage to her.

Irvine used Curaga on Squall, but was suddenly struck by Poison.

"Irvy!"

Irvine's HP was diminishing. "*wheeze* *gasp* don't worry about me Butterfly." Rinoa cast Antidote on him, but missed.

"Damn," Rinoa cursed. He was slipping away. Squall stepped forward with his Lionheart.

"Taste steel," Squall rushed to Ultimecia with rage, and struck her as hard as he could.

"IRVY!!!!!!"

Squall turned around, only to see Irvine on the ground. The poison got to him.

"Heh heh," the evil sorceress waved her hand, and once again, an angel appeared above the body, and compressed him into time.

Outraged, Selphie shrieked. "YOU ASSHOLE!!!" Since her HP was already low, she used Slot, and cast three Ultimas. "DIE!!!!" She practically went ballistic, but somehow, Ultimecia didn't fall; she was smirking.

"Weakling," she shook her head, and struck her. Selphie fell to the ground.

"I-Irvine…I'm coming with you…" she whispered.

"No Selphie!" Before Rinoa could do anything, Selphie was already compressed into time. Quistis came about to assist.

"All right, let's get this over and done with!" Quistis shouted. Squall and Rinoa nodded sadly.

"Perish you worthless piece of crap!" Rinoa screamed. She called on Angelo, who performed Angelo strike. "Good girl," she patted Angelo. Squall swiftly cast Curaga on her. I don't want to lose you again.

Quistis used her Save the Queen, and whipped Ultimecia hard.

"Ugh," Ultimecia yelped. She was getting weak. "No SeeDs shall live!!" She smirked, pure evil showing in her eyes.

"In your dreams!" Squall furiously rushed to the sorceress, striking her with his gunblade with all his might.

"Damn you worthless human beings!" Ultimecia struck them all, which lowered the group's HP dramatically. It was their change to use their limit break.

Quistis used her Blue Magic, Squall used Rezokuken, and Rinoa used Angelo.

"Ugh!!! *gasp* No….this can't be," Ultimecia uttered. Squall realized this moment, and remembered that she would cast Demi. No!! Rinoa!!

"Mwahahaha. Say good bye to your sweet friend!!!!!!!" Just as predicted, she released Demi, and aimed it for Rinoa.

"Squall!!!" Rinoa shrieked, and covered herself.

"NO!! RINOA!!!" he jumped in front of her.

"Squall! Don't!" Quistis shouted behind him. Quistis covered her face. Dear Hyne, don't Squall…you idiot!! She heard a loud thud. She removed her hands from her face, and gasped.

"No….Squall."
