The Genome Offspring's

Dagger stood up.

"That evil bastard is back! What are we going to do?!" Dagger's eyes were now filling up with tears; she feared that Jade would be in so much danger. Jade looked puzzled.

"Who's Garland daddy? Is he a friend of yours?" Jade smiled, but both of her parents' looks told her to stop. Zidane eyes narrowed.

"Jade honey, I think you should go over to Dali and play with Marron for a while…stay as long as you want." Jade's puzzled face turned bright.

"Okay! Bye- Bye!" she quickly ran upstairs to dress, after about five minutes, she was downstairs again and out the door. Zidane faced Dagger; he walked over to her and hugged her.

"Dagger…what will he do to Jade? If we don't act now, we will surely lose her…" Dagger watery eyes soon began to drip, and she broke down. She laid down on the floor in Zidane's arms. "He's going to do something sick and evil! I just know it! What are we going to do!?" Zidane thought for a moment then spoke.

"We might have to tell Kuja and Mikoto…they will surely know what to do…" Dagger forced herself up. "We destroyed that bastard before…and we will do it again!" Zidane nodded. "Lets head out to Lindblum!" They quickly ran out the door, and headed towards South Gate.

"So he's back…" Kuja said as he sat down in a chair, they were in Lindblum and exhausted from the long run and the worrying. Ruby walked into the room.

"So tell me, who's this Garland bronco buster anyways?" Kuja told her the story of how he was their father, and his whole plan on dominating. Ruby shuddered.

"That is one mean cowboy! But wait a minute-why in tarnation would he want Jade?" Zidane stood up. "Since he called us his 'Angels of Death', he might want new reinforcements!" Dagger stood up.

"Wait…we left Jade at home!!" Zidane then sprang out of his seat, his heart rate increased. "Of course! I thought that leaving her at Dali with Marron would be okay, but instead we totally let her out of our sight!" he thought excitedly. He ran out of the house, calling back. "Dagger! Stay here, where it's safe!"

Zidane felt like he had ran across the whole universe, before he reached home. When he reached home, he ran inside the house, not even bothering to close the door. He was horrified when he saw Jade tied up, along with the twins and Matai. Zidane ran towards them, they began screaming through the duct tape, and before Zidane knew it, a giant cage was dropped over him. Zidane struggled to lift it above his head, but to no avail; he looked down realizing that it was literally glued to the floor.

"Who's the bastard who's doing this!" Zidane yelled through his gritted teeth. As he spoke those words, a man dropped down. He was wearing a white tuxedo, and looked like he was an alien, his hair was bluish with pink stripes, (if you still don't get what alien I'm explaining, think about Alan from Sailormoon! ^^) The alien smiled.

"What a beautiful daughter you have Zidane, too bad you will never see her again!" The alien ripped the duct tape off of Jades mouth, causing her too let out a high-pitched scream. She snarled.

"You jerk! Why are you doing this? I never did anything! You better not hurt my cousins or my daddy!!" she screamed through tears of pain and hatred. This made the alien smile more. "No need to yell, pretty little Jade. You daddy won't feel a thing once I kill him, along with you gorgeous mother." Zidane was now bending the bars of the cage. "You bastard! You won't touch my family or me! If you do, I'll-" The alien cut him off.

"You'll what? You can't touch me while you're caged like a rat, or should I say monkey!" He laughed a laugh that only Garland could possibly make. "And did I hear you call me a 'bastard'?" he drew his hand out from his pocket. "Maybe a little lesson in respect will change your attitude." He threw a red knife from his hand that dripped with poison. It sliced Zidane's arm, causing a cry of pain from the trapped Genome, (don't worry, it didn't slice his arm of, just cut!)

"Who are you!?" Zidane cried through the tears of pain. The alien smirked.

"…Anzonin" Anzonin pulled another poison knife.

"Daddy!!" Jade screamed.

"This can go on no longer…" a voice spoke. It was a female, Zidane could tell. Anzonin stopped.

"Who's there? Well, come out and fight, damn you!" A flash of light filled the room; Zidane covered his eyes with the only arm that wasn't num. When the flash was gone a woman appeared in front of Zidane's cage. She held her hand out in front of her to Anzonin.

"Do you dare defy me, Anzonin? I have killed you before, must I do so again?" Anzonin smiled. "No…we'll meet again, Zidane!" He lifted the children from the floor, they screamed in fear.

"No!" The woman screeched. But it was too late. Anzonin had already disappeared.

"Jade!! No…" Zidane hung his head in shame and agony. The caged disappeared, and the woman caught Zidane in her arms. She softly spoke.

"Discover the power, save the children." Footsteps were heard by the door.

" Zidane!" a gasp was heard from Kuja and Mikoto. The woman laid Zidane on his side, and vanished in the same light she had came in. Footsteps came to Zidane. They were Dagger's.

"Oh my god! Who was that woman? Did she do this to you?! Answer me, Zidane!" Kuja shook his head.

"No…" he turned to Zidane. "Congratulations Zidane, that woman was your mother…"
