Note: If anyone feels that the chapters are too short, I'm trying to make this a sort of long story, and chapters will either be extremely short or medium length. I'm so happy with all good reviews I've received so far! Sorry if there are any problems with my grammar or spelling, but I type pretty fast and don't always use the spell check...I'll try my best to make this a good story to read, so if you know of any helpful tips, then I'd like it if you could share them with me. On with the story.

Zell took off at top speed towards the Ragnok. "I know where to go!" he called back, voice almost cracking from his excitement. Apparently, it was contagious, for Quistis raced after him. "Wait for me!" she cried to him.
Edea watched them jump into the Ragnok, a look of utter sadness on her face. "What's the matter, Edea?" She turned to him with crystal tears wetting her cheeks. "In a matter of time, I won't be their mother anymore...they won't be my children," she cried in anguish.
Cid walked to her and incased her in a warm hug, "I know exactly how you feel..." he muttered. Unbeknownst to them, the van of a troop of renegade Galbadian soldiers was parked behind the Ragnok, with no one inside.
Again, unbeknownst of them, there were a few more passengers in the Ragnok than before...
"So, what's this place called?" Quistis asked, barely containing her excitement, "What does it look like?" Zell felt a trickle of cold sweat run down the side of his face, "Um...I dunno...hehe,"
Quistis stared at him, her ice blue eyes boring holes into his skull, "What do you happen to mean by that?" she demanded, "Just what, do you mean by that?!" Zell audibly gulped, "All I saw was a path, don't ask me how, I just know where it is,"
Quistis seemed on the verge of going beserk. Just then, an unwanted interruption came forth.
Five armed and mentally unstable Galbadian officers stepped forward, with guns loaded. The one in front cackled with glee, "Well what have we here? Would this happen to be two of the seven people who prevented Galbadia from claiming ownership of the world? I sure hope so, because it's our turn to shine,"
Quistis brought out her whip and Zell bowed to them in a signal to begin. The man started cackling again, and then cocked his gun. He readied it, then fired and hit...
The ship's main computer. Red lights flashed everywhere, signaling an attack, which was too much for the ship. A feminine voice came over the intercom, "Please make your way to emergency escape pods, ship will crash within minutes...Please," the voice was repeating every few seconds.
Zell let out a roar as he saw the officers take the pods and escape. He grabbed Quistis and they made a silent agreement. They both concentrated on the familiar beings nestled within their minds.
Quistis called Quezecotl (AN: Don't know how to spell his name) and Zell called Bahamut. Within a few seconds the guardian forces where summoned and had broken through the hull of the ship, carrying their respective summoners.
The wind whipped at them harshly and blew the two creatures apart. Zell turned and yelled for Quistis, who, in return, yelled back. Bahamut got blown towards a nearby forest, while Quezecotl got blow to a plain near that. A few miles away, the ever faithful Ragnok went up in flames as it hit the cruel earth.
Yards above the ground, Bahamut and Quezecotl had no choice but to return to the confines of the human's minds. Zell fell, and bounced a few times across the ground into a tree. He winced as he felt his back finally land on a hard root jutting from the ground.
Not too far away, Quistis rolled across the long grass on a plain. She held her head gingerly as she stood up on shaky legs. She looked towards the forest, looming like a long, dark tower, and pulled at her courage.
She held her Save the Queen at ready, and entered the forest, keeping guard. She walked along, until she realized that there was a figure lying crumpled on the ground.
It was Zell, and from the look of it, he was dead...
Dun, dun, duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnn!!!! Man, that was probably really crappy, but I'm feelin' sorta sick today, so blame it on that if needed...^^;
