=PART THREE=
She seems as though she's comatose though she was once so strong
So you go to Esthar on foot (a journey hard and long)
A scientist discovers that she is, indeed, alive
Inside her is a sorceress' spirit that survives
He sends you to a Lunar Base for 0-G research
But something unexpected happens: Rinoa goes berserk
She wanders in a trance-like state to an odd looking sphere
And frees Sorceress Adel from the Lunar atmosphere!
It seems that's how they rid themselves of her in the first place:
They froze her in a giant sphere and shipped her out to space
Squall put on a space suit to rescue the poor girl
And held her as the monsters from the moon flew to their world
Rinoa inadvertantly began a "Lunar Cry"
By freeing the moon's monsters, their numbers filling the sky
Rinoa and Squall are stranded, their suits' boosters both ran out
luckily, the Ragnarok, a spacecraft, floats about
They board and overtake it form the aliens on board
(By bombarding them with blind spells, then hitting them in their gourds)
A touching scene transgresses on the flight deck while you fly
Back down to Esthar (and geez, this part always makes me cry!)
Rinoa tells Squall that she loves him, but he says nothing back
(Just as well, for if he did, I'd have had a heartattack!!)
A radio controller guy asks who is on the flight
Squall says it's just the both of them, and gives the man a fright
He says Rinoa, sorceress, descendant of Hyne
Must be taken in custody, her powers to be confined
So when they land they're greeted by some Esthar populace
Rinoa opts to leave with them, no tears upon her face
At first Squall just shrugs it off, then becomes really sad
When Quistis, Zell, Irvine, and Selphie find out they get mad
They tell him off because he never shows them how he feels
It's only then that he realizes his love for her is real
And thus they go to the sorceress memorial to recover
The girl who once was an annoyance, but now will be his lover
(Didn't I allude to this somewhere on the first page?)
So with brute force he rescues the girl who's now a mage
Off to Esthar City to find a way to help kill
The sorceress who likes to control Rinoa with her will
We meet the President of Esthar -- who is it, you ask?
It's Laguna, the moron, whom Squall was in the past!
It seems that this girl, Ellone, is the one who would send
You to the past, but is also your childhood friend!
Our entire cast knew each other in the days of old
But from summoning GFs, you've forgotton, you are told
Ellone was Squall's "big sis," but now you have to go
And rescue her form Seifer (who, in case you didn't know
Is still alive) inside this floating Pandora Lunatic
(Which you saw in the past when Laguna had explored it)
It seems that Seifer hasn't done whatever he did want
But obeyed Ultimecia (whom you'll later confront)
This sorceress from the future has traveled back through time
Via a neat gizmo developed by Doc Odine
But only her spirit can go back into the past
After rescuing Ellone, you promptly kick Seifer's ass
Ultimecia is inside that ugly Sorceress Adel
And is using her to get her way (Oh, bloody hell!
Another sorceress to fight!!) she wants into the past
To achieve Time Compression where only she can last
(A place where only one time exists is all that she wants
No past or future, only present) so we go on a hunt
To rescue Rinoa who was taken by Seifer
To the chamber with Adel to junction unto her
You fight Adel and kill her after Seifer runs away
Ultimecia enters Rinoa and -- cue Miss Ellone!
She sends them both into the past, then only brings back Rin
Then the thing we know as Time Compression starts to begin
You fight a bunch of sorceresses, then you finally meet
The one named Ultimecia perched in a lofty seat
"SeeD...SeeD! Kurse all SeeDs!!" she cackles and she taunts
But then you off her and her GF, Griever, like you want
And after a bunch of confusing stuff that now will go amiss
The game ends by us seeing Rinoa and Squall kiss
