Chapter 2:Endeltia awakens

Meedy and Sparts, two guards, stand by the steps of the Sorceress Memorial, watching the big green blob bulge up and down. The blob has grown over the last ten years. The first year it was about the size of a chicken egg. The third year it was about the size of a chocobo egg, the fifth year it was the size of a human. At this time they decided to try to dispose of it, so, a guard went over to it, touched it, got shocked and died instantly. Since then no one touched it. These last few weeks it started, breathing, bulging up, going down, bulging up, and going down, like something was inside it. Today it was bulging worse than ever! Meedy, who was always afraid of it, was scared of how it bulged up and down, and today he thought he heard it laughing, but his partner. Sparts just told him to stop freaking out. " Its been here 10 years, its not going to break open!" Sparts said eating his ham sandwich, then talking with his mouth full " If it was something evil it would've broke out by now. Jeez, what a dumbass!" Sparts takes another big bite. " Yeah Sparts but look at it. It's basically jumping!" Meedy hated guarding the sorceress memorial. He hated it more than guarding the presidential building, which has recently been having financial problems, and now has rabid dogs hanging around. Everyday he has to blow up about 15 dogs each day. " Gimme some of that sandwich" Meedy says as he sits down and takes the other half of the sandwich. Just before he takes a big bite he hears something. Hahahahaha! That laughing again. He looks behind him and sees the blob stretching out to the point where it starts cracking. His eyes get wide, " SP- Sparts?" Meedy taps him on the shoulder. "What the hell you want." Sparts eyes get big as the blob starts cracking. They watch as the crack runs all the way around the blob. "Oh shit." Sparts says as dark clouds gather around the blob. " Screw this job!" Meedy says. He throws the sandwich behind his head and runs down the road. The blob floats in the air as it starts cracking even more. The blob is covered with creases and comes down to the earth with a loud shattering crash. The pieces shatter out everywhere. One hits Sparts in the head and brings him down to the ground. He looks up and sees a dark liquid like figure, collecting in the air. The shape forms into a body with arms, slowly it becomes clearer, and slowly its face comes into form. It looks almost exactly like Ultimecia except its eyes are a deep dark color and it has large black veins popping out of her temples around her forehead, and down both of her cheeks. Its hair is in deep black dreadlocks, and its teeth are all even as she smiles. Endeltia floats in the air with her hands raised to the sky, laughing a long laugh. She looks down and right at Sparts, who is sitting on the steps stunned with a half-eaten sandwich in his hand. Her smile disappears as she sees Sparts. She floats in the air right into sparts face. " Are you scared little boy?" she sneers at him and picks him up with one hand over her head. Sparts is still stunned at the sight of this Sorceress. " Don't worry little one. You won't be scared for long." She rears back her fist. " Goodbye." She gives him grin and plunges her fist through his chest. Sparts starts shaking a little then watch as the world fades to white. Endeltia pulls her bloody fist out of sparts and lets his lifeless body fall to the floor. She looks at her bloody hand, then looks at Spart's body, and kicks him out of her way. She can hear his ribs crack as she does this. She walks into the center of the steps of the Memorial and stares at it for a second, then raises her bloody hand in the air. She starts chanting something then lets out a spell. Five Balls of different thigns appear in the sky above the Memorial. One is made of Fire, One of light, One of water, One of lightning, and one of ice. They all starts to create many others from themselves. Then when they're about 25 of each they all combine into one big ball. The ball back up into space, then as if it came flying from a slingshot, it shot back toward the earth and hit the Memorial, shattering it to pieces and sending a big explosion through the world. The pieces of the memorial fall down to the world. "That should take care of that pesky machine." Endeltia walk up to where the memorial used to stand. Then using a levitate spell, sends a throne right into the middle of it. Then using the levitate spell brings a bunch of bricks and builds a big castle on the spot. Endeltia goes in and sits on the throne. " My Mother, Ultimecia, I will not fail you!"

Balamb Garden goes into panic as a big chunk of metal strikes somebody through the head.Squall ducks as a piece of metall goes flying by his head. " What the hell?" Squall runs do the backstage area. "What's going on Squall?" Rinoa asks looking at the panicking crowd. "Do you think I know? I just came to give a frickin' speech!" Squall heres a familiar voice over all the commotion ""Get the hell out of my way! Hey that's my frickin' foot! Jeez! What was that?" Squall looks through the crowd and sees Zell and some blonde haired boy climbing onto the stage. "Squall! Long time no see, huh?" Squall looks at him. "Whatever." Zell laughs " same old Squall! Oh yeah Wesson this is Squall, Squall this is Wesson." Squall shakes his hand "Wow! Pleasure to meet you Headmaster Leonheart!" Squall hates it when people call him that. "Call me squall, okay." Squall says " Hey Rinoa how you been doing!" Zell offers her his hand. " Friends don't shake hands Zell." Rinoa responds. "They give hugs!" Rinoa gives him a big hug , Zell gets red and says in a groggily voice, "Um Rinoa your choking me!" Rinoa lets go of Zell " So is this your son, zell?" Squall asks stupidly knowing that this kid is at least 18 years old. "Um. No he's my student at my fighting school." Then squall hears a gun shot, and immediately knows who's coming. " C'mon get out of my way, I got an old buddy to see!" Irvine climbs up on the stage . "Hey Squall! How you been doing man!" Irvine goes to hug him but Squall steps back. "don't hug me." Irvine looks at him " oh yeah, Squall always worried about his reputation!" Irvine extends his hand, and squall shakes it "Hey if it isn't Zell and um, the other blonde guy." Irvine looks at Wesson puzzled " His name is Wesson, Wesson this is Irvine. He's my student." Irvine shakes his hand. "Hey Rinoa! It looks like you and Squall are living it large huh?" " um, I guess and what have you been up to, Irvine?" Oh boy Irvine thinks, they want to know my job. Better tell them the truth. "Um, I'm a trainer at the gun school." Irvine puts his head down in shame waiting for someone to say something about his boss. " Oh you mean the gun school with the boss who beat up Laguna with his gun and was banned from Esthar?" There it is, Irvine thinks. Irvine hears someone, "Outta my way! Hey don't touch me there! Move it! Hey Squall! Remember me?" How can I forget, squall thinks as he sees Selphie running up the stage. She was the one he had to show around Balamb, and she was the craziest person in the group. " Hey Squall!" Selphie runs up to him and gives him a hug. " Great speech!" " Um, I never even finished it." Squall says, " well still it was good! Irvine" Irvine starts to blush a little as she runs up to him and gives him a hug also " How have you been doing?" Irvine puts on his ladies man face " well you know, the usual, killing people, monsters you know stuff like." "He's a trainer at the gun school" Rinoa interrupts, Irvine puts his head down. " Oh. Cool. Zell!" She runs up to him and gives him a hug also " what have you been doing? Who's this?" Selphie asks pointing to Wesson " He's my student Wesson. I have my own fighting school." Zell says. "What about me?" a voice says. It makes every one of them jump. Quistis goes over to Squall" Nice speech Squall. Even though you didn't finish it. Hey Zell. You showed up to. Hello Irvine What have you been up to?" Irvine puts his head down again "trainer at the gun school." " Oh, cool. Hi Selphie, still flying the Ragnarok?" Selphie smiles "yep!" "Okay," Squall says " what's going on here?" Squall looks at everyone for an answer when " Daddy, why are there big chunks of metal flying everywhere?" Kylos says then notices all the people "who are these people?" Kylos looks at every one of them puzzled " Well remember the story about me killing the big evil person? Well these are the other people who helped me." "Oh cool!" Kylos goes over to Zell. "You must be the spiky haired guy who gets angry easily." Kylos goes over to Irvine " You must be the guy who tries to get women but never succeeds!" Irvine gives Squall a mad look. Kylos goes over to Selphie " You must be the crazy girl!" Selphie give Squall a mean look to. Squall puts his head down and starts shaking it. Kylos goes to Quistis " You must be the smart woman who was my dad's teacher! Wow cool!" Squall sees everybody except Wesson, Rinoa, and Quistis giving him a mean look. "Um this is my kid, Kylos." Squall says, " Wow your kid sure is honest." Irvine says. Just then Xu runs in "Squall! Were having major problems! Oh hi everyone! Squall, Rinoa we need you upstairs now!" "Yeah sure. You guys can stay in the dorm rooms for tonight. We don't know what's going to happen so just in case, we need to stay close." Zell smiles at him then responds " Yeah Squall. Whatever!" Squall gives him a mean look " Shut up Zell. Your now in control of watching my kid!" Squall says, then walks away. "Looks like it quit raining metal." Irvine says as he looks at the semi empty infirmary. The only people left are the dead people or the wounded. " Well, lets go get some sleep. Tomorrow might be a long day." Quistis says "yeah. She's right. It couldn't have just rained metal for nothing!" Zell says Quistis, Kylos, Zell, and Wesson walk out of the infirmary. " Well Selphie I'll see ya' in the morning." Irvine says as he walk out acting Macho, Then trips over a cord. Selphie laughs and Irvine gets embarrassed. He quickly gets up and walks out. Selphie follows him.

Squall, Xu, and Rinoa walks down the hallway of the second floor. " Xu, what the hell is going on?" Squall asks as they go into the boardroom " you're about to find out." Xu turns on the TV where squall sees President Laguna on the screen. " Squall we got a problem!" Laguna says. Squall immediately could tell that there was a problem because of Laguna's stressed out look. " Squall, I think that the Sorceress Memorial just exploded! I also got a guard that was at the Memorial when it blew up." Squall sees a man, Meedy, eyes sunken, and all dirty. " Do you want to talk to him?" Laguna asks, " He said that a big green blob started cracking and shattered open." "Yeah sure." Laguna moves out of the way. Meedy gets in front of the monitor " Mr. Headmaster, sir, it's true believe me!" "I Believe you go on." Squall says. "Well I was sitting with Sparts who is another guard here, looking at the blob because it was bouncing up and down,though it was always bouncing up and down but really bad today. Well that day or whatever it is." " Whoa slow down!" squall says, "What's this "blob" you're talking about?" Squall says, " well, we never knew. Someone touched it one day and it killed him or her instantly. It kept growing and growing." Meedy says " Okay, so you think this blob started cracking and then what?" Squall asks, " Well, I ran away hoping that Sparts would to, then I heard a large shatter. I was too scared to look back though." Meedy says again " is there any thing else unusual?" squall asks interested "Yeah! I heard laughing inside the egg and then when I was running I heard laughing again which made me run faster. Then I felt a big whoosh of energy and debris hitting me in the head. That was when the sorceress memorial exploded. The blast blew me all the way to Pandora lab, where I was picked up and brought to Esthar City." Meedy lets out a big sigh. " So where is Sparts?" Meedy looks down "I believe he was killed by the blast. Or he could have miraculously lived somehow. He was right on the steps of the Memorial when I left." Meedy says almost crying. " alright thank you." Laguna appears back on the screen. " pretty wild huh? I don't know if he got kind of screwed up in the head from the blast, or if it's true? " Laguna says " it's true Laguna. So did it rain metal over there?" Squall asks "Yeah. are guards won't let anyone exit or anyone in so, were pretty safe right now." Laguna says. " Thanks Laguna. I'll talk to you tomorrow to see if you have any more information." Xu shuts the TV off. Squall tries to put the pieces together. The laughing, The explosions, sounds like the work of the sorceress. "So squall what do you think?" Xu asks " I don't know about you, but I think we might have another sorceress on our hands. I think we should go investigate tomorrow." Squall says. " You mean, the whole group? Again?" Rinoa says " It's our only choice. So you in Rinoa?" Rinoa thinks about it again. What if the sorceress catches me? I'm sure I still have some sorceress in me. But, it would be nice to have the whole group back together! " so Rinoa what do you think?" Squall says. " I'll think about it." Rinoa responds. " Tomorrow could be the beginning of an all new adventure. We need to stick together." Squall says as he walks out of the room.
