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: Woo Hoo! Chapter 5 it is! I was in Pittsburgh for a week over
New Years, but now Im back! Thanks you guys for supporting my writing! This will
probably be the last chapter with flashbacks. I might do more if I see a need
for it though. Im dedicating this chapter to my two favorite writers of all
time, Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final Fantasy) and Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear).
FINAL FANTASY VIII
No Limits
Chapter Five
Squall awoke slowly and looked up, to see nothing. He began to wonder if he
had gone blind in the battle, but a small ray of light shining through the rock led
him to believe otherwise. He was alone, locked away in a prison of rock and blood.
For the first time in his life, Squall was afraid of dying."Rinoa..." was all he
could say to keep himself from shaking in the cold darkness.
Rinoa also awoke from her slumber but instead of seeing darkness, she saw
a purple light. Sitting up quickly, she realized that she was in her nightgown, on
a bed of black feathers. The purple light was coming from the light of a lamp to her
right shining through the blue bed curtains. She held onto herself, fearing what may
have or what will happen to her. A tear fell from her eye as she looked up at the dark,
jagged ceiling of the cave she was in. She wanted to be in Squall's arms again. Suddenly,
she heard the sound of footsteps, and looked over quickly to see who it was.
*Flashback*
Squall: ...
Quistis: Squall, are you going to be alright?
Squall: I don't know...
Quistis: I know how dangerous the Island Closest to Hell is. It's ok to be afraid.
Squall: Im not afraid of dying... The only thing I fear is losing Rinoa.
Seifer: You know, I always though you had gone soft...
Squall: ...
Seifer: But, I actually have to admit that Rinoa has made you alot stronger than you were.
Squall: ...Thanks.
*End Flashback*
"I see you have awoken, my dark lady". said the voice from the darkness. "Who.. Who
are you?" replied Rinoa as she began to slowly back away from the voice, still sitting on the
bed. "You know who I am, my dark lady", the voice boomed. "N..no! I don't!" said Rinoa, who
had now backed herself into a wall. The figure emerged from the shadows, wearing a torn red
shirt, black tattoos under each eye, torn red pants, and a robe made of black feathers. His
fingernails reached out at least five or six inches from his fingers, and his feet were bare.
"I was with you, when you were away from the planet... I've been with you, every step of the
way. You know who I am". Rinoa tried to back away still, but couldn't as a pair of hands
grasped her sholders and an evil grin apeared in her eyesight. "Taimos..." she murmured as
the figures hands began to glow brightly...
Squall sat still in the darkness, unsure of what he could possibly do now to save
his one true love. "I failed you, Rinoa..." he said as he hugged his knees. His mind began
to race, as it usually did. He remembered a sunny day at a flowery field...
*Flashback*
I'll be here.
I'll be "waiting" here.
So if you come here,
You'll find me.
I promise.
*End Flashback*
For some reason, remembering those words that he said so long ago gave him a renewed
sense of hope. He slowly stood up and put his hands on his hips as he looked around at the
nothingness. "What?" he said out loud as he noticed that his Gunblade was still in its holster.
He slowly pulled it out and looked towards the beam of light coming from the edge of the cave.
'For a brilliant scientist, Odine sure isn't very smart.' he thought as he pulled back and
sliced.
