THE LEGEND OF ATLANTIS
By: Yumemi
Chapter 24 - ...the Truth...
The mind-controlled Quistis squinted her eyes in the bright light that followed.
she wondered where the bright light had come from because that wasn't supposed
to happen with the spell she had just used. Just as she was about to shrug it off,
something happened....
She had appeared infront of herself. (I'll be referring to mind-controlled Quistis
as Quistis and the "other" Quistis as *Quistis)
'Hello, Quistis' the newly arrived Quistis greeted her.
"who are you?" the mind-controlled Quistis asked.
'why... don't you know? I'm Quistis!'
"That can't be! I'M Quistis!!" Quistis said, fists clenched.
'oh? I don't think so. I'm the REAL Quistis - ya hear? - and _I_ definately do
NOT let myself be controlled.... you on the other hand....' the other one said,
smiling at her cooly.
The words struck Quistis. *Mind-controlled? I AM NOT!* she thought, then her
head ached immediately.
'what's wrong? Headaches?' *Quistis teased her.
Quistis gritted her teeth and looked at her clone through narrowed eyes. She
then stretched an arm palms facing *Quistis and fired a ball of light at her.
To Quistis' surprise, the ball of light just passed through *Quistis and not
exploded, as it was intended to.
'are you trying to kill me?' *Quistis asked, en eyebrow raised, 'you can't honey.
That's because I'm the REAL Quistis......' she paused in deep thought. 'But maybe
we're one.'
"WHAT???" Quistis said in an outraged voice, "THAT'S CRAZY!!"
'really? what if I was just your reflection?' she said, then suddenly, a jagged
outline started to appear around her and then as if it was so unnoticed - it was
clear that there was a spike of clear crystal, like a mirror, and inside it was
*Quistis.
"I-I-Impossible!" Quistis said, almost breathless in surprise, "if you're my
reflection t-then.... you're not su-supposed to talk!"
'I'm called your sub-conscious dearie. I'm too deep in your mind for Galaxia to
controll and I've come to wake you up' she told her.
The two Quistises stared eye to eye and suddenly, Quistis felt as if she was
freed. There was a light feeling replacing the heavy cloud that brooded in her
mind.
'that's better' her sub-conscious said, smiling, 'welcome back, Quistis'
* * *
The light slowly faded away and everyone's eyes adjusted to the gloomy light that
glowed dully in the room. Among those who had arrived to battle, a lone blue-haired
SeeD was a step ahead of them all, an arm raised before her her palms facing the
now unconscious body of Hikaru and Quistis.
Across them, Hikaru and Quistis' bodies lay, and between the two there was shattered
pieces of what appeared to be crystal glass.
"Hikaru!!" Fuu shouted, and she immediately ran to Hikaru's side and cradled her
friend.
To everyone's surprise, Quistis stood up, slowly but surely.
Galaxia smirked. "kill them!" she says, raising a hand in command.
Quistis raised her whip and Fuu embraced Hikaru protectively. Cloud and Squall
ran to save them as well but before they could reach Quistis, she had struck...
....Galaxia!
There was a gasp in the silence that followed.
Unfortunately, Galaxia was too quick and had been able to escape her blow.
Galaxia stared at Quistis with a hateful eye. Quistis replied her stare with a
raised eyebrow and a challenging and triumphant smile.
Umi put down her raised hand and stepped forward. "what now, Galaxia, you don't
have a slave anymore." she said, raising an eye brow.
Galaxia stood straight. "you haven't put me down yet. The game is just starting
...let's play, my little SeeDs"
All of them stanced themselves for the upcoming battle.
