DISCLAIMER: I don't own Final Fantasy VIII or anything related except this story. Please
don't use it without my permission, k? Thanks.
Author's Notes: I am deeply sorry for the long wait of this chapter, as my computer
hasn't exactly been "behaving" itself lately. I got a new laptop for chrismas though,
and now I might actually be able to write again! ^_^ I'll try my best to write when-
ever I get the opportunity! And now, CHAPTER FOUR!
FINAL FANTASY VIII
No Limits
Chapter Four
Ultimecia. Someone they had tried to forget for many years now. Burried in
the past, the very mention of her cursed name brings a chill to the spines of the
bravest souls. Squall knew that if every sorceress was required to have a master,
then Ultimecia had been taking orders from a higher source. "Ok, lets say for a
moment that you are right about this and there is a greater force out there. What
does it have to do with Odine and Rinoa?" asked Zell reluctantly. Squall sighed.
"Zell", Squall began,"even if it doesn't concern Odine and Rinoa, it does concern the
safety of the rest of the world. It is our duty as SeeD to rid the world of these
forces... and it also means that Rinoa was under rule of a greater power as well.
Perhaps the same as Ultimecia!" Zell and the others looked down slowly.
*Flashback*
Squall: The Odine Night Relic.
Quistis: Squall, you know that its a myth.
Squall: No, its not. I... We, Rinoa and I, found it at what remains of Odine's lab.
Quistis: Does it... really work?
Squall: The opposite of Solar Power. The ability to harness the absence of light...
Quistis: It could end the struggle for energy around the planet...
*End Flashback*
"Blood"? said Seifer as he looked at his right hand, which he had just pulled
away from the wall he was leaning against. Zell cringed at the sight as Squall moved
the torch towards the wall. Quistis gasped. "The walls... they're.. bleeding!" she said
as she backed away. "This place just gets more demonic by the minute." said Squall. He
and the others slowly walked away, heading farther into the darkness below them...
*Flashback*
Seifer: Where is Rinoa!?
Squall: I.. dont know. Odine took her.
Quistis: Are you sure it was Odine?
Squall: Yes, although that annoying accent of his was absent.
Zell: ...
Seifer: Well if he is dead, then there is only one place that he could be.
Zell: Where is that?
Quistis: I know.. The Island Closest to Hell...
Squall: Birthplace of the Marlboro...
*End Flashback*
Squall and the others reached the bottom of the canyon, the Marlboros and T-Rexaurs
cut away by blockades of blood soaked swords and spears. "This truly is a place of the
damned" said Siefer as he looked around. "Where do we go from here?" said Quistis. Squall
shrugged as he looked for any kind of hint on where to go. "Something just occured to me".
said Zell. The others turned and looked at him. "Did you notice that we have had close to
no resistance on the way down here? Sure, mabye a few Marlboros and T-rexaurs, but thats
about it..." Squall became immediatly paranoid as he heard this.
"I FIND IT QUITE AMUSING THAT IT TOOK YOU THIS LONG TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING SO OBVIOUS."
Zell, Quistis, and Seifer cringed but Squall held his ground as the voice sounded
yet again.
"THIS DEPTH OF THE DEAD IS A CURSED PLACE FROM WHICH YOU SHALL NEVER RETURN."
"Odine.." said Squall slowly. He then screamed out. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH RINOA
YOU BASTARD!?"
"SHE IS ALIVE, FOR THE TIME BEING.. BEING CARED FOR BY THE ONE WHO SHE SHOULD TRULY CARE
FOR."
"Odine, I'll kill you!!" yelled Squall as darkness engulfed them all...
END OF CHAPTER FOUR
Author's Notes: Cliffhanger, I know. I'll try to make the waits between chapters as short
as possible. Thanks for reading although it took so long for this chapter to come out.
Later!
